Despite what the veteran said, Hathaway was a little skeptical, as the elves seemed to be a bit of a fetish in some way, and it was difficult to get their allegiance.

At this moment, the female elf who was rushing towards Hathaway suddenly turned around, and her sprinting figure turned unbelievably towards Ford. Behind Rockefeller, before he could react, the long sword was already pressed against his neck.

"Let go of the head of the house!"

"Let go of Mr. Rockefeller!"

"Bold!"

"Elf, stop now!"

……

The warriors who were chasing after them immediately made a chaotic noise, but they did not dare to rush forward, and their swords flashed but they were completely inaccurate.

Puper. Druière pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, and he looked eager to try; Petro. Hughes and Shalai. Custer approached Hathaway; Stilwell. Ponson, still looking blank, stood behind Hathaway with his hands down.

"Silence!"

Listening to the warriors shouting for a while, Hathaway sighed and said loudly, "Quiet! ”

It was indeed quiet, and the warriors all turned their heads and looked at her warily as if she were an accomplice of the elves.

"If you want Rockefeller to live first, just stay there honestly, and she won't be able to go anywhere at this time."

Hathaway gave them a contemptuous look and turned to the man who had held Ford hostage. Rockefeller's Elf: "Miss Elf, if you want to kill Mr. Rockefeller, do it now." If you want to make some reasonable requests, then please relax your sword a little. His veins are about to be cut by you. ”

Ford. There was indeed a blood mark on Rockefeller's neck, which showed that the elf was also very nervous at this time. However, after listening to Hathaway's words, her sword relaxed slightly: "I have only one condition, let me and my companions go." ”

"May I ask Mr. Rockefeller a few words?"

Hathaway looked at the elf and asked, while asking the veteran, "Didn't you say that the elves are all delicate?" I think this elf is very powerful, if it weren't for the sealed fighting spirit, I'm afraid that none of the people present would be her opponents. ”

"This is the Golden Elves, the race of elves who are best at fighting. This is just a young elf, even if she hasn't lost her fighting spirit. It doesn't have to be your opponent. The veteran replied.

"Yes." The elf glanced at her. The blade relaxed slightly.

"Mr. Rockefeller, are you willing to trade your life for the freedom of this elf lady and her companions?" Hathaway asked.

"Yes. However, even if she and her companions leave me, they may not be free. "Ford. Rockefeller said.

"Nonsense! We just need to get out of Heidelberg. You'll be safe! The elf said angrily. I couldn't help but tighten my hand. The blade pressed against the hostage's neck again.

"Don't be nervous, we're going to discuss a workable solution."

Hathaway had previously negotiated with hostage-taking terrorists and thugs and knew how to deal with it. And the elf in front of him is much more normal than those guys, and the purpose is more clear: "Mr. Rockefeller, why do you think that this elf lady and her companions may not be able to be free even if they leave Heidelberg?" ”

"If the Empire's ban on slavery really works, she and her companions won't be reduced to slavery."

Ford. Rockefeller was still very calm at this time: "Even if she leaves Heidelberg, she will soon be targeted by the slave team, at most it is just a change of seller, there is no difference." ”

Hathaway smiled slightly, and while secretly running the divine punishment fighting spirit, she said to the elf: "Mr. Rockefeller's words make sense, what do you think?" ”

Divine punishment fighting qi is a kind of fighting qi that only a martial artist with goblin blood can cultivate. If Hathaway was a complete goblin bloodline, and there was no need to run the fighting qi at all, those low-level bloodlines would naturally be able to sense her aura, and now ...... Only after the bloodline is stimulated with the Divine Punishment Fighting Qi can the low-level bloodline be able to perceive it.

There was a look of shock in the elf's eyes, she looked at Hathaway deeply, and said in a deep voice, "It's better to die than to be free!" ”

Hathaway showed a wry smile on her face: "It seems that this elf lady has the determination to die together, I wonder what Mr. Rockefeller's opinion is?" ”

After a moment's silence, Ford. Rockefeller said, "If they don't care about being slaves again, I can send them out of Heidelberg." ”

"That's not going to work!"

Hathaway suddenly said: "Although this is not a good description, this is indeed just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den. Miss Elf, Mr. Rockefeller, I have a compromise, I wonder if you two would like to hear it? ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Ford. Although Rockefeller was calm on the surface, his heart was already on fire, for fear that the elf would be excited and wipe himself.

The elf didn't speak, but his gaze had already shown his attitude, and when he looked at Hathaway, there was a little respect and kindness.

"I can set Miss Elf and your companions free."

Hathaway said, "But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and Mr. Rockefeller's interests should not be compromised, and I will pay a fee in exchange for the freedom of Miss Elf and your companions, and not having to sign a slave contract." However, the place I am going to this time is dangerous, Miss Elf and your companions must protect me for three years and fight for me, and after three years, you will be free. And during these three years, I will not force you to do anything that is detrimental to the dignity of the elves. We must both swear in the name of Her Majesty Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and Her Majesty Artemis, the goddess of forests and hunting. ”

The goddess of the hunt is a god of the druids, and the elves believe in the god of the moon, in the Titan world, there is a god of contract and oath witness, after making an oath, if you disobey, there will be a curse, unless it is a higher strength than the god.

Seeing that both sides were a little moved, Hathaway took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Rockefeller, please order your guards to retreat, so as not to cause accidental injury, and we can settle the rest of the matter through negotiation." ”

Ford. Rockefeller did not hesitate to comply, and the guards hesitated for a moment, but still did as he commanded, and retreated far away.

The elves are holding Ford hostage. Rockefeller, Hathaway and the others came to the reception room and sat down, and only then did they relax their sword slightly, but they were still on guard and looked at Hathaway.

"There's no need to rush, we have time to talk slowly." Hathaway said.

Elves are a very sought-after slave, but elves are also a very proud race, although some elves will be successfully tamed, but many more elves would rather commit suicide than become slaves after being captured by the slave team.

In Ford. There are a total of seven elves in Rockefeller's slave warehouse, including three golden elves and four green elves, the former is skilled in combat and martial arts, and the latter is skilled in magic and archery. In addition to the elves, there were thirty-six half-elves. These half-elves have inherited the virtues of humans and elves, are proficient in archery, and several have also inherited the magical talents of green elves.

Because of Hathaway's bloodline, the seven elves all made an oath as agreed...... Elves are a long-lived race, three years is nothing to them, and the most important thing is that the goblin bloodline has not appeared for countless years, even if it is driven by curiosity, as long as Hathaway does not treat them as slaves like other humans, these elves cannot be driven away.

The elf who had taken the hostage before was called Sophia. Roland, Hathaway ordered her to temporarily take command of these elves and half-elves.

In addition to elves and half-elves, Hathaway also bought three hundred strong half-orcs, these half-orcs have an average height of about two meters, which can be called big shoulders and round waists, although they look ugly, but if you get close to them, they are not very vicious, on the contrary, they are a little simple...... Or even low self-esteem.

In addition to these orcs, Hathaway was also at Ford. At Rockefeller's suggestion, he bought six human slaves, all of whom were former soldiers of the surrounding countries, and after being captured by the Otiga Empire, they became prisoners of war because there was no one to ransom them. Hathaway gave them a period of ten years, after which they would be given complete freedom as long as they worked hard to serve her.

"Two million gold coins were spent like this." Shalai. Custer is a little painful.

In his opinion, although the personal strength of those elves is good, there is no need to spend this kind of cost to buy, to paraphrase Hathaway, the cost performance is too low. But Hathaway had her reasons, so she had to hear these complaints...... The wind goes away without leaving a trace.

Although she despised the slave trade, Hathaway had to admit that this Ford. Rockefeller was still very experienced, at least all the suggestions he made were taken by her.

Arming, training is a matter of time, but as a warrior, it is inevitable to be armed. The sword, this kind of weapon is too delicate, even if it is a two-handed sword, it needs to be maintained frequently, so that it can be effective in battle, and when the sword is used as a weapon, the requirements for the holder are more demanding...... On top of that, swords, compared to similar weapons, are more expensive. So Ford. Rockefeller recommended the spear.

The spear is a weapon that is easy to maintain and cheap, even if there is serious wear and tear, it can be done with a different head, especially for those who are not skilled enough to fight in groups...... These are exactly what those orcs qualifies for.

However, as officers, those human slaves were better equipped, with leather armor and long swords...... By the way, each soldier also needs to be equipped with a shield, an archer's bow and arrows, and these equipment also need more than a million.

Hathaway gave Shalai all the money she needed. Custer and Puper. Dirouet, these people were temporarily placed in one of the Dirouet family's estates and immediately began training. (To be continued......)
