Xiao Chen and his team followed the large group of mercenaries two days later. In order to deter these unruly mercenaries, the Duke specially sent a high-ranking knight named Livas and a mid-ranking mage named Ordas to manage the team.
The knight was a strong and serious middle-aged man in his forties. It was said that he was the Duke's nephew. He had followed the Duke in battle when he was young and was highly regarded by the Duke.
The mage came from the Red Lotus Tower to investigate Susanna's affairs, and the Duke paid a large sum of money to get him to join the war. Ordaz was in his thirties, and he was very arrogant and ordered the mercenaries around. He even asked the Duke to prepare a carriage for him, and he was very out of place in the team.
In addition to their "Tree Seed Mercenary Group", there are four other major mercenary groups in the team. The largest one has fifty or sixty people, and the smallest one has twenty or thirty people. Except for those scattered mercenaries, Xiao Chen's team has the fewest people, but the other teams dare not bully them at all. Instead, they keep a respectful distance from them.
That's because the mercenaries have learned enough lessons.
As soon as the dark elves moved into the camp, they attracted the attention and spying of other mercenaries. Their team was small, and most of them were rare dark elves. When the mercenaries saw the dark elves with muscular bodies and pretty faces, they naturally had all kinds of bad thoughts. When Evelyn and her friends moved into the camp, there were always people who came to chat with them, cause trouble, and take advantage of them.
At first, Evelyn didn't want to fight with them and ignored their provocations. But when two mercenaries tried to kidnap her and take her to their tent to enjoy her, she finally got angry. With just a little bit of strength, she beat the two men to a cripple, which naturally attracted the mercenary group they belonged to to question her.
For warriors, the final solution is to see who has the bigger fist.
Evelyn simply set up a ring at the entrance of her camp, and defeated more than a dozen opponents by herself with only her intermediate strength, and broke the third legs of several of those who spoke rudely. The weapon she used was just a meat-cutting knife, and anyone could see that she didn't use her full strength in these battles, and her strength could be described as unfathomable.
Almost all the masters of the mercenary group that started the trouble were defeated, which was basically a complete loss of face. The entire mercenary group avoided the Tree Seed Mercenary Group and dared not appear in front of Evelin. After Evelin showed her strength, all the leaders of other mercenary groups were polite in front of her, and ordinary mercenaries behaved like good kids in front of her, not daring to have any improper thoughts.
Mercenaries are so realistic. Being strong and ruthless only brings respect, while being weak and yielding brings humiliation. Unknowingly, the Tree Seed Mercenary Group has suppressed other teams and become the leading team in the team.
But apparently there are still people in this team who haven't realized this...
Xiao Chen was driving the soundproof barrier and discussing the road plan with everyone when a magic apprentice unexpectedly ran up to Xiao Chen's team with a haughty look on his face, demanding that the Tree Seed Mercenary Corps send two of the most beautiful dark elves to serve Master Ordas.
The dark elves were naturally furious when they heard this. Evelyn was about to reject them sternly, but she heard Xiao Chen say to her through the Soul Bridge: "Wait a minute, I think this is an opportunity, leave it to me. If we can solve this problem in Ordas, our subsequent plans will be much easier to carry out."
“I feel sick seeing this kind of person!” Evelyn said angrily.
"Leave everything to me," Xiao Chen said confidently in his mind, "If you don't want to go, you can send someone else to go. Just play along with me."
"No, I'm afraid they will suffer."
"Okay, then I still need a dark elf to act as a role model, so let Kaisa go with me."
Kasha is the only mid-level magician among the dark elves. She is good at plant magic. Xiao Chen has seen her use seeds to catch wild animals and drive away mosquitoes for everyone several times. Xiao Chen judged that her strength is not inferior to that of the elf patrol officer Shaliel.
"Don't waste time, the master is still waiting for you." Ordaz's apprentice urged.
"Okay, okay, Your Excellency the Magician, I will take the two dark elves to visit Lord Ordas right away." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Who are you and what are you doing?" The apprentice frowned and looked at Xiao Chen. He was wearing a merchant's short shirt with a long sword. The clothes were quite exquisite and he had a dagger on his waist. Although he didn't look like a pariah, he didn't look like a big shot either.
"I am the dark elves' consultant in the human world. You know that they have trouble communicating with humans. Please allow me to explain to Lord Ordas. Otherwise, it would be bad if the elves offend you due to misunderstanding." Xiao Chen said seriously.
The magic apprentice had never seen a dark elf before, but he didn't dare to risk offending the bad-tempered adult, so he agreed: "Okay then. Have you picked someone? I have to see if it's suitable."
Evelyn and Kassa, who rode forward, took off their hoods. Although the dark elves looked a little strange with their gray skin and white hair, their facial features were those of genuine elf beauties. The magic apprentice nodded repeatedly.
Ordaz's carriage had already stopped in front and was waiting for them. The magic apprentice opened the door and Xiao Chen got on the carriage first.
Ordaz was probably meditating. When he heard the apprentice's report, he opened his eyes and saw a man climbing onto the car. The man had a pair of strange purple-red eyes. As he got on the car, he gave him a teasing smile.
"Who are you?" Ordaz suddenly felt nervous.
Xiao Chen snapped his fingers, and an invisible ripple enveloped the carriage.
"Soundproof magic circle! Magician!" Ordaz screamed, but his voice could no longer be heard. He raised his hand and prepared to use the Fire Leaf Technique to counterattack. But Xiao Chen took a look at his hands, and Ordaz was horrified to find that no matter how he gathered his magic power, he could not form magic.
The fire magic seemed to be constantly escaping from his control, just like he was a child playing with building blocks, but there was an invisible hand that kept pulling out the blocks from the castle he built.
The magic apprentice outside did not sense anything unusual. After the two dark elves got on the carriage, he closed the door.
Xiao Chen stuck his head out of the car window and said to him, "Lord Ordaz, I want you to check whether the mercenaries are behaving themselves."
The magic apprentice had some doubts at first, but looking into Xiao Chen's eyes, he could not bring up any thoughts of resistance. He bowed slightly and said, "Please report to the master. I will keep an eye on them."
