Early the next morning.
"Who? Stop!"
The fog filled the air, and before dawn, Lei Luo in the tent was awakened by a roar.
He hurriedly climbed out of the tent, only to see the middle-aged leader of the knights holding a long sword, confronting a tall and weakened figure in the thick fog.
Others also crawled out of the tent and stood together.
With the help of the remaining flames, everyone approached a little closer, and after seeing the specific appearance of this person, they all asked in amazement: "Elf?"
With a tall figure, graceful posture, and pointed ears, this is indeed a forest elf, and it seems to be just a young elf girl.
The elves live in the thorny forest outside the human kingdom. Like the dwarves, they often appear in large human city-states.
In more remote places on the continent far away from humans, there are many other alien civilizations, and there are even many races that humans have never heard of.
The many expeditions of the Church Crusades went to a terrifying alien region called the Land of Night, crusade against a heretical civilization called Bloodborn, and destroyed the evil heretic temple there.
The middle-aged knight leader withdrew his long sword and explained to the surrounding people: "There is a thick fog. Just now this elf came running in a hurry. I thought it was some kind of beast."
Whoops, whoops.
Amidst the panting of the elf girl, Lei Luo gazed through the hazy mist and looked carefully.
A large area of white skin is exposed, only some key parts are covered by leaves. The tall, enchanting and fiery figure is enough to make any woman jealous. It is the morning of early spring, and the elf girl is shivering in the cold, panting tiredly.
The elf girl looked back from time to time, as if she was afraid of something behind her, like a helpless poor lamb, arousing pity.
This was the first time that Lei Luo saw the opposite sex exposed in front of him, and his cheeks turned red immediately, and he didn't dare to look any more.
The leader of the knights shouted to the elf girl: "We are travelers heading to Fort St. Grann. The sound of your running and panting just now made me mistake it for a wild beast. You can go over."
The elf girl didn't seem to understand human language, she just stood there panting, without responding.
Seemingly afraid of the human knights ahead, the elf girl did not dare to move forward, tears of begging poured out of her anxious face.
"What's up with her?"
Ornn asked the knight leader.
The knight leader frowned and said: "The elves who don't understand human language wear such revealing clothes in the human territory. It looks like... this should be an elf slave girl who is fleeing! Although the human principalities have already signed contracts with the elves, all arrests of elves are strictly prohibited. The behavior of slaves, but because of the outstanding beauty of these elves, there are still some corrupt nobles who secretly raise elf female slaves, and many dark mercenaries take risks for profit, and those half-elves who are spurned by humans and elves generally come from this way."
Just as the knight leader was talking, in the thick fog of the distant forest, several dogs barked.
"Just ahead, don't let her get away!"
When the elf girl heard the footsteps chasing after her, she couldn't help becoming more terrified, but because she was afraid of the tall and strong human knights in front, she didn't dare to go any further. She just stood there and sobbed, looking at everyone pleadingly. .
Lei Luo secretly looked at the reactions of several people.
The two young knights swallowed unconsciously. First, they showed surprise when they saw the elf for the first time. Their eyes wandered over the graceful figure of the elf girl. They were instinctively greedy for the beauty of the elf girl. Losing his composure, he hurriedly turned his face to the side to hide his shame.
The middle-aged knight leader looked calm and thinking, his eyes were deep and extremely calm.
The female knight showed great sympathy, and after glancing at the silent middle-aged leader of the knights, she looked at Ornn behind her.
"Damn corrupt moth!"
Ornn's voice came out almost from between his teeth. He looked angry and disgusted, as if he was ashamed of what happened in front of him, and appraised to the knight leader: "We must protect this elf and maintain the reputation of the Grand Duchy. , make sure she returns home safely!"
"yes!"
The knight leader looked at Aoun, nodded solemnly, put on his helmet again, looked solemnly behind the elf, and waited for the battle, and roared in a low voice: "Draw your sword!"
The female knight breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put on her metal helmet, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that were ready for battle.
The two young knights took a deep breath, as if they were ashamed of their instinctive evil thoughts at that moment, their cheeks blushed after being snarled by the captain, and the blood that regarded death as home appeared in their eyes, concealing complex emotions such as shame and nervousness.
Woohoo!
Following the chaotic footsteps in the depths of the mist, several tall figures gradually appeared. After seeing the figure of the elf girl stopped in the mist ahead, a rough voice of joy came.
"Found it, right in front!"
Next to Aoun, Lei Luo tensed up, trying his best to behave normally, without showing shameful cowardice.
On the side, Ornn secretly swallowed.
After seeing that there were only four pursuers walking out of the mist, Aoun breathed a sigh of relief and touched the jewel ring on his right hand. The jewel shone slightly red, and he calmed down.
"stop!"
The middle-aged knight leader stood at the front of the crowd and yelled loudly, roaring: "We are the honorable knights of the Ridge family, why are you hunting down this elf?"
The roar of the knight leader suddenly made the four people in the mist tense up. They stopped and stared over tens of meters away.
After seeing that there were only six people and two children on the opposite side, the four breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, we are the Dark Wolf Mercenary Group. We have received a mission from the Mercenary Hall to capture this elven assassin who committed murder in Fort St. Grann. He will be punished by the magistrate and cover her up as an accomplice. Shoot and kill her! Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"
The mercenary captain who spoke was a bald man in his thirties, with earrings on his ears and a black fur coat. A wall is, yes, extremely oppressive, as if it were a beast that might pounce on it at any time.
The other three members of the mercenary team also looked like vicious people licking blood with their knives, and one of them was holding a bloody wolf head flag.
One of them was a female archer in her twenties, with a full moon bow and an arrow in her right hand, pointing this way, as if she would shoot the arrow that would bring death at any time. Standing beside the female archer was a giant black wolf, full of Half a person tall, with a thorn-shaped metal decoration on his neck, his fangs are exposed, and his bloody eyes are brutal.
"Warcraft?"
After seeing the black hyena, Aoun observed it carefully, and after confirming it for a while, he shook his head and said, "It should be of Black Flame Wolf bloodline, Uncle Basel, be careful."
"knew!"
The middle-aged knight leader responded to Aoun in a low voice, and laughed at the Dark Wolf Mercenary Group: "Hahahaha, since you received the mission from the Mercenary Hall, then take out the mission contract! Hmph, do you think we don't Know? A group of people who earn dirty gold coins, if you don’t get lost, you will use your blood to defend the glory of the Ridge family!"
The scene is extremely tense, and the battle is imminent.
The elf girl in the middle of the confrontation also seemed to know the kindness of the middle-aged knight, and even ran towards this side directly.
The female knight whispered: "Master, don't you know Elvish?"
"I am a scholar who studies the laws of nature. I mainly study the cornerstone of mathematics and deduce the laws of nature. Elvish language is the subject of those scholars who study the esoteric meaning of evolution. How could I!"
Aoun angrily said: "It doesn't matter, let's save it first. It doesn't cost much to release an escort mission in the mercenary hall of Fort St. Grann!"
the other side.
The head of the Dark Wolf mercenary group, seeing the prey he was about to get ran away, let out a deep roar from his throat, like an awakened monster, just when this extremely oppressive mercenary head was about to launch a charge Suddenly, the female archer holding a black hound behind him exclaimed: "Magician!"
The members of the Dark Wolf Mercenary Group were shocked.
Looking from a distance, behind the four knights, a flame was ignited in the palm of the half-grown boy. It was so dazzling in the night sky that had not completely dawned. Unknown magic!
Although the opponent seemed a little nervous, the noble mages were by no means something that low-level mercenary regiments could come into contact with at will. After discovering Ornn's identity as a mage, they were even more nervous than Ornn. !
Countless mercenaries have told their juniors with blood experience that if a mercenary group wants to develop for a long time and grow stronger, it must hire a magician as the brain of the team. When the mercenary groups clash, once there is a conflict, the first target must be the opponent's magician!
"Hey, Lei Luo, pretend to be a bit too!"
Aoun's trembling voice almost came from between his teeth, extremely nervous.
Lei Luo hurriedly responded: "Oh!"
Lei Luo picked up Aoun's notebook casually, flipped through it slowly, and treated it seriously, as if a powerful magic was about to be launched at any moment, but in fact, his palms were already sweaty, and his legs were a little weak.
Lei Luo has never really experienced this kind of real sword and gun battle.
"what to do?"
Behind the head of the Dark Wolf Mercenary Corps, another scarred man held a two-handed sword and asked hesitantly.
In the hearts of mercenaries, magicians have an extremely lofty status, and high-level mercenary groups will inevitably hire a magician as a core member of the team with extremely favorable conditions, because apart from the mysterious and unpredictable magical power of magicians, the most important thing is their Profound knowledge and understanding of the mysterious phenomena of nature can save the entire mercenary group in many crises!
"withdraw!"
He glanced viciously at the middle-aged leader of the knights, and took a deep look at the magician who was full of unknown mysteries. The head of the Dark Wolf Mercenary Corps stopped abruptly just before the explosion, and turned around and left with the three of them without hesitation. Gone, lost in the mist.
