"My lord, those are the fang wolf and the forest elf. On the back of the elf is a six-colored elf. It seems that they can't hold on for much longer. If we wait a little longer, we may get a great bargain..."
"Idiot, can't you see that the back of us is about to be on fire? Either we run away, or we just sneak attack and kill the wolf, and then threaten that woman... What big elf are you talking about, but will that six-color elf fly away?" Damn, the back is on fire. If the place where we tied the horse hadn't been burned, I don't know whether I should save the horse first.
"Listen to my orders. You two stand on guard. I will attack the wolf. If I fail, then everyone get closer to the big elf. If there is a chance, snatch the six-color elf and run away. Otherwise, retreat immediately. But if I succeed, you immediately coerce the big elf and we will kill them all." I only have one chance. If the crossbow on my back doesn't work, then we have no chance of winning at all. We can only rely on the big elf to block the wolf, and then run as far as we can.
After hearing what I said, both soldiers handed their crossbows to their left hands and drew their swords to prepare for battle. I bent down and aimed the instant crossbow on my back at the wolf that was concentrating on hitting the moving target of the elf. When the elf leaped to our right and the wolf's fireball was just released, I immediately shot out the 40 powerful crossbow arrows on my back.
After the crossbow arrows were fired, I immediately untied the shoulder rope and threw away this bulky burden. I didn’t want it to hold me back. But when I turned my gaze back to the battlefield, I saw the wolf’s eyes shift from the big elf to the crossbow arrows I shot, but it was too late. 40 crossbow arrows had already arrived in front of him. . . . . .
Damn it... Just when I thought I was about to succeed, the wolf arched its hind legs and quickly leaped forward...
Just when I thought I had failed, the two soldiers beside me had already raised their hands and shot two more arrows in the direction where the wolf was trying to escape. Damn, the Flame Legion's archers were really good. These two arrows immediately blocked the wolf's path. If he continued to escape, he would inevitably be hit by these two arrows. But how could he know that these two arrows were nothing compared to the crossbow arrows behind him that were all made of steel.
The wolf froze almost immediately when the guard beside me shot the two arrows, but this was a sign of bad luck for him. Several crossbow arrows instantly pierced his thighs and buttocks, and then firmly pinned him to the ground. Then the wolf howled, and the fireball that had just appeared in his mouth suddenly exploded, instantly blowing his head into paste...
"Action!" In fact, my order was no longer needed. The moment the unfortunate wolf was shot by the crossbow, two guards immediately jumped up from beside me, holding the crossbow in their left hands and the sword in their right hands, and quickly surrounded the two elves. One of them was still vaguely protecting me behind him.
With a swish of arrows, the elf's escape route was blocked. I followed a guard and moved forward to outflank him. Facing the sudden tragic death of his opponent, and the threat of three crossbows, and a powerless burden on his back, the forest elf's delicate face showed a helpless despair, and his two pointed ears covered with fine fur trembled slightly from time to time. . . . .
After her escape route was blocked by crossbow arrows several times, the elf had lost the will to resist. Her two large, bright eyes began to dim, and crystal tears were already in her eye sockets, ready to fall at any time.
"You...what are you going to do?" When the three men approached her only a few meters away and pointed three crossbows at her, the elf finally lowered her slender sword.
"Hey, what do you think we are going to do? A beautiful elf with the fur on its ears still attached. It's the most premium baby elf with a market value of at least 20,000 gold coins. Add to that an elemental elf, and our lord has turned a disaster into a blessing this time. By the way, are you going to keep this elf for yourself? Or take it back first?" Before I could say anything, a guard spoke excitedly.
"What if I keep it? What if I take it back?" After hearing the last sentence, I was a little confused. Is there any difference
"If you want to keep her, then we can sign a contract with her now, so that we can have an extra insurance on the way back. After all, the fighting power of the forest elves is not exaggerated. If we were not lucky just now, she happened to be in our attack circle. If she had a bow in her hand and we were farther away, then the three of us might not be enough for her to deal with.
If we bring her back, we will have no choice but to tie her up to prevent her from attacking us when we are not paying attention."
At the suggestion of the two guards, I finally chose to sign a contract with the elf. After all, our current strength is so weak, if we want to get out of here safely, more strength means more protection.
Under the vicious coercion of the two guards, the elf reluctantly signed a slave contract with me. When a six-pointed star-shaped symbol shining with colorful light appeared on the elf's forehead, the two guards immediately relaxed their bodies and easily refilled the crossbows in their hands with arrows.
At this moment, the six-colored elemental elf that had been clinging to the forest elf’s neck suddenly began to flap its wings and slowly prepared to fly away. . . . .
Almost instantly, two guards suddenly rushed towards the forest elf like crazy. Just when I was startled, the two guys had already tightly grabbed the elemental elf that was about to fly away.
"You will hurt her..." Seeing the two vicious guys, the forest elf immediately spoke up and tried to stop them. But the six-pointed star on her forehead flashed, and the big elf hugged her head as if dizzy and sat down gently on the ground.
"What's going on? Is she okay?" Surprised, I immediately asked the two guards who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, sir, we almost lost this little treasure just now. We all forgot that although the elemental elves are very close to the great elves, they still refuse to buy into the great elves that have signed a contract with humans. The six-color elf just wanted to run away. Fortunately, we discovered it quickly, otherwise we would have suffered a great loss."
"I mean her, what's wrong with her?" After listening to my subordinates' explanation, I pointed at the big elf sitting on the ground.
"My lord, it's okay. The newly contracted elves will always do things that their masters don't like during the first few days. This is the punishment of the contract. It will be fine soon."
After listening to my subordinates' explanation, I became more interested in magic. It is really a strange thing, but I don't know if it is possible for me to learn the essence of this mysterious world.
While my two subordinates were chopping wood to make a cage for the elemental spirit, I cast my eyes on the big elf. She was about 1.6 meters tall and obviously thin, like a half-grown girl who had not yet fully grown. But with her delicate oval face and slightly pale skin color, she inevitably gave people a kind of temptation with pity.
"Do you have a name?" Seeing her sitting there at a loss, I decided to communicate with her appropriately. After all, I had to accompany her all the time.
"My name is Yaruo..."
"Idiot, you have to add the word 'master' before you reply to the adults, remember..." Before she could finish her words, the guard who had been holding the elemental elf immediately interrupted Yaruo.
"Forget it, let her get used to it slowly! How dare you train such a young girl like that? When you go back, let's let you lead the troops and see how you treat them. With your temper, be careful that people will smack you behind your back."
"Thank you for the promotion, sir. I will not let you down. I will work hard and share the joys and sorrows with the brothers below." The smart man immediately understood the meaning of my words. The guard was very happy. Because he caught an elemental spirit in his hand, he couldn't salute me, but his tone revealed his excitement.
"Don't be envious. You will be the same after you go back. I will first make you the squadron leader, and then promote you to deputy captain. If you do well, we will promote you to captain after we return to the capital to expand the army." Seeing the envious look in my companion's eyes at his good fortune, I made the same promise to another guard who was making a cage. What I need most now is their loyalty. As the saying goes, if you don't use your power, it will expire. Why not make this promise under the power in exchange for their further loyalty
"Yaruo, according to my two friends, you should be good at archery, so why did we see you confronting that stupid wolf just now?"
"I gave up the bow and arrow to attack that wolf in order to save that six-color elemental spirit. I thought it was just an ordinary fang wolf, but I didn't expect it to be a fang wolf with wind and fire attributes. As a result, I almost..."
"But I heard that elemental spirits are also very powerful. Could it be that this elemental spirit is also injured?" I didn't have any interest in listening to Yaruo's last mosquito-like voice, so I directly raised my question. According to what Sack said, I have the right to run fast when I see an elemental spirit, but this elemental spirit did not attack from head to toe. Apart from the possibility I mentioned, I really can't think of any other possibility.
"Sir, we also know about this. Among the elemental elves, except for the six-color elemental elves, all are relatively aggressive, but this little thing is not aggressive... What's that sound?" The guard had just explained halfway when all kinds of strange sounds came from the distance again, including the roar of wild beasts and the sounds of various magic being released.
"Let's go and take a look, maybe this time he is our friend." As I said that, I quickly put on my back the instant-fire crossbow that I had already refilled with arrows, and stood up with the crossbow in one hand.
As soon as I suggested, two guards immediately stuffed the elemental elf into the crude wooden cage, and then tied it tightly to the back of a guard. At the same time, Yaruo also stood up, took off the beautiful elf bow behind her, and then slowly disappeared into the forest. . . . . .
Just as I was about to call her, a strange scene suddenly appeared from the depths of my heart, as if I had suddenly grown a pair of eyes that could move on their own in my heart. And this scene, I only paid a little attention to find that this must be what Yaruo saw, strange, absolutely strange and shocking.
"Sir, the forest elves in the jungle are the best scouts, but under normal circumstances, who would easily put tens of thousands of gold coins on the battlefield?" Seeing my strange expression, the two soldier guards thought I was worried about Yaruo.
“Nonsense, hurry up and follow and take a look…” But it would be a lie to say I wasn’t worried, so I kept urging them to hurry up. . . . .
