Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 44

Minhyuk looked down at the elves who had interfered with his hunt.
Most of them had died from Teydon’s forelegs, with only five barely surviving.
Even if he executed them, it would not compensate for the losses suffered by the expedition.
In terms of earning Return Time, they were also insignificant.
Even if he killed them all, he would not earn even a minute.
Therefore, at times like these, one must prioritize practicality over anger.
“Commander!”
An officer ran up to Minhyuk and reported.
“The elves have arrived. They are unarmed.”
Jeriah and 30 other representatives of the elven race had come to find Minhyuk.
They had belatedly learned that some of their kin had plotted to disrupt Asdel’s expedition to hunt Teydon.
They had hurriedly tried to rectify the situation, but it was already too late.
Thud-
Jeriah knelt before Minhyuk.
Then, the other elves also knelt before Minhyuk and bowed their heads.
“Some of our kin harbored foolish thoughts and committed a grave error! It is my fault for failing to manage them properly! Therefore, I beg you to punish me!”
Minhyuk asked Jeriah with a cold expression.
“How do you suggest I punish you?”
“I will atone with my life!”
Jeria was already prepared to give up her life to pay for the crimes of her people.
The elves who heard her words exclaimed with wide eyes.
“Jeria! You can’t do that!”
140 years old, relatively young for an elf, Jeria was able to become a leader because of her extraordinary charisma.
The 30,000 elves in this forest, which had been divided into dozens of factions, were able to unite as they did now thanks to her efforts and talent.
If she were to disappear, the elves would split up again and turn their swords against each other.
Jeria was that important to the elves of the Konoe Forest.
“Please take my life and forgive the wrongs my people have committed!”
Despite the elves’ dissuasion, Jeria once again begged Min-hyuk for mercy.
Min-hyuk ignored her request and called the quartermaster.
“How much damage did we suffer in this incident?”
The quartermaster checked the inventory records and reported to Min-hyuk.
“We consumed 60,000 bottles of Superior Red Potions. If the elves hadn’t interfered, we wouldn’t have had to waste a single bottle.”
During the head-on confrontation with Teidon, an average of 15 bottles of Superior Red Potions were used per soldier.
It was an amount equivalent to 2,000 plates of eggs.
The quartermaster continued his report.
“And we consumed 12,000 Small Mana Orbs.”
In order to automatically repair damaged armor during battle, soldiers consumed an average of 3 Mana Orbs each.
It was an amount equivalent to 1,000 Gift Set No. 1 of canned ham.
“And we consumed 400,000 crossbow bolts.”
100,000 men had used a whopping 4,000 bags of cotton swabs.
In fact, the metal crossbow bolts of the Star were very sturdy and didn’t break easily.
Most of them could be collected and reused.
However, there was no need to reveal such trivial details at this point.
The quartermaster was doing a good job understanding Min-hyuk’s intentions.
He reported all the consumption of other minor military supplies as well.
Jeria and the other elves just listened to the officer’s report with blank expressions.
They couldn’t grasp the value of the consumed supplies.
“That is all!”
When the quartermaster finished his report, Min-hyuk asked him.
“How much is that in Krones?”
“Calculated at the current rate, it’s 10 billion Krones!”
However, what kind of refrigerator would I need to put such a large bead in?
Perhaps a refrigerated container carried by a ship or truck would be big enough.
Minhyuk recalled the time he found a refrigerator-shaped stone statue in an ancient temple.
I wonder if there is a refrigerated container-shaped statue hidden somewhere on the continent of Rania.
Anyway, I couldn’t put the magic bead in the refrigerator right now.
So, not only could I not procure it in large quantities, I couldn’t even transport it easily.
I had to move the bead with manpower.
“Let’s go back to the fortress!”
Swish-
Several soldiers attached themselves to the magic bead.
The bead was not as heavy as iron or a boulder.
Its specific gravity was similar to that of wood.
And it was spherical, so it could be rolled to move it.
Rumble-
Watching several people rolling the large bead reminded me of an elementary school sports day.
.
.
.
Around dawn,
Asdel’s expedition arrived at Tamryn Fortress with Taydon’s heart.
Wow-
The soldiers who had remained let out a cheer of joy as they looked at the magic bead.
The princess ran over and stood in front of the bead.
Tears welled up in her eyes with emotion.
She had risked her life to obtain this.
An opportunity for revival had come to Asdel, which had been on the brink of destruction.
However, it was too early to celebrate.

The expedition’s mission would only be complete once they had safely transported the magic bead to the castle and restored the Altar of Protection.
And in the process, they had to repel Melbeck’s army.
Minhyuk gathered the key members of the expedition in the barracks and held a strategy meeting.
“Where are Melbeck’s forces now?”
General Drake pointed at the map as he answered Minhyuk’s question.
“They are stationed in Gaon Gorge.”
There were several places where a large army could be ambushed between Tamrin Fortress and Asdel Citadel.
Gaon Gorge was one of them.
Professor Raymon provided a more detailed explanation about Gaon Gorge.
“It is the place where Urus, the god who created the continent of Lania, first met his beloved horse, Gaon. According to ancient texts, Gaon was a divine horse that could cross the continent in the blink of an eye!”
A horse that could run thousands of kilometers in less than a second. That was an exaggeration.
Well, it could be possible if it was the horse of a god of creation.
Anyway, the origin of the gorge’s name was not important right now.
General Drake spoke again.
“The King of Melbeck is hiding there with an army of 200,000, waiting for information about us.”
He planned to move only after his spies sent him information about the path the expedition would take to Asdel Citadel.
The King of Melbeck had no idea that his spies had already been captured and were feeding him false information.
He was overconfident in the shapeshifting abilities of the Kunas.
“How long does it take for the Heart of Teidon to dissipate naturally?”
Professor Raymon answered Minhyuk’s question.
“According to ancient texts, the dissipation of a large intermediate orb begins after 30 days. So there will be no problem if you use it within a month.”
“Then there is no need to rush the transport?”
General Drake understood Minhyuk’s intention and spoke.
“We will inform the King of Melbeck that our soldiers are exhausted from hunting Teidon and that we will depart after a few days of rest.”
Minhyuk nodded with a grin.
They would feed the King of Melbeck false information that the expedition would depart for Asdel Citadel in three days.
And tonight, they would ambush them.
