Yeah, I seemed to have deeply injured his pride.
Because two days had passed, his fear of me had faded a little bit, once he was able to think a little clearly, he decided that he had no choice but to kill the one who looked down on them thinking, “Why does a noble Elf such as me blablabla…, if I’m not afraid of the likes of the ogre this and that…”, so he took along elite level Elves from among his subordinates, allowed himself to be controlled by his emotions and attacked, and as a result, they arrived at the current predicament of having had the tables turned on them.
I pity the Elves for working under such a boss. The two female elves from the other day also hung their heads before my eyes. I was a little curious and tried to speak to them, but they refused to listen.
The damage the subordinates had to bear for the sake of an incompetent boss struck a chord with me, so as expected, killing them as they were did not sit well with me, and I did the following more or less out of sympathy.
1. Give up on the next clan chief candidate Elf, he's dead.
2. Fight in a mock battle with Goblins and Hobgoblins other than me, without killing your opponent, make them faint or otherwise make them incapable of fighting. If you succeed at this you win.
3. If you win the mock battle, you won't get killed, if you lose, you get killed and eaten.
That was the gist of it.
As I finished explaining, I untied the threads for all of them except for the next clan chief candidate Elf male.
When I did that, one highly loyal Elf tried to kill me, but I broke his chin with a hook and gave him a concussion, I then grabbed the unsteadily moving Elf by his head and shoulders, and killed him by twisting his neck until it broke.
I told Redhead, Blacksmith, and the others to stay inside until I come back, then devoured the fresh corpse, heart and all.
