"Since you were taken away by the Knights of the Ranster Kingdom that day, we have returned to the village......" In Rachel's faint words, Ruan Chi gradually learned some truths.

Originally, Rachel wanted to ask for help from Elder Gona, hoping that she could send someone out to rescue Ruan Chi back, but unfortunately, due to the clan rules, this matter has not been realized.

It wasn't until the Frost Moon Night Giant incident came from the Ranster Kingdom that everyone knew that Ruan Chi was out of danger, but the matter didn't end there.

"We were happy to learn that you were okay, but a month after the Frost Moon Night Giant incident, I don't know why there were some unknown vicious incidents near the realm, and some elven compatriots disappeared one after another when they were active on the edge of the Elven Forest......"

"Slave catchers?" The first thing Ruan Chi thought of when he heard this was the slave catching team, and those Terrans seemed to like to go to the elven realm to operate.

Sure enough, a trace of anger flashed in Rachel's eyes, "It's indeed a good slave catcher, the slave catcher team we defeated in the Fort Fukenburg camp last time was actually just one of the slave catchers hired by the Platinum Consortium, and then we told the queen about it, and her majesty then sent someone to investigate, and the conclusion was even more amazing, it turned out that in the past three or two years, the Terran realm has secretly sent slave catchers to infiltrate our territory many times." ”

"These traffickers have come all the way to you, just to take your compatriots and sell them? I didn't expect you elves to be quite valuable. Ruan Chi touched his chin and joked.

Rachel glared at Ruan Chi, gritted her silver teeth and said, "The magnates of the human race like to be poor and extravagant, and they are addicted to wine and jade forests all day long. There is only such a despicable race. will exchange living people as goods. ”

Betty, who was next to her, heard this. The pale red eyes trembled slightly, and he felt quite touched in his heart, and said in a low voice: "My parents used to be slaves, Sister Rachel, I understand your feelings." ”

Ruan Chi rolled his eyes, spread his hands and said: "I can't say that, everyone has a love for beauty, and there is nothing wrong with those powerful people pursuing beautiful things, the fault is that the means and methods they use are a little scum." ”

"I can't agree with anything like that." Rachel said loudly.

Ruan Chi shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly. No further comments were made.

"Sister Rachel, so many people have been caught, is there nothing your queen can do?" Betty asked in a whisper.

"Of course, Her Majesty the Queen has already thought of a way to deal with it, but the other party is a notorious and extremely evil consortium, and it is not easy to deal with it." Rachel was as powerless as a deflated balloon.

"Isn't it? You alone can't deal with those slave catchers? Aren't the elves and humans the same level? Although he lost a thousand years ago, it is not so much that he can't even clean up such a little person? Ruan Chi seemed to have misheard it with his ears, and said with wide eyes.

"The slave catchers are just minions, and our real enemies are the platinum thieves."

"Is that platinum consortium difficult to deal with? No matter how awesome it is, it's just a group of profiteers who make a fortune by selling people, and your entire elven clan can't deal with it? ”

"It's not as simple as you think." I didn't get angry and glanced at Ruan Chi. Rachel then said weakly: "Although the Platinum Consortium is nominally registered as a legal chamber of commerce in the Free Federation, it is actually a collective crime in secret. The super group with many functions such as commerce, entertainment, military, and assassination is not the only one that controls it behind the scenes. ”

"That's the underworld? Don't the people in the Liberal Federation who are in charge care? ”

"Although the Free Federation is the leader of the Terran countries, it is not omnipotent, the Platinum Consortium has a wide distribution of power and many nests, and it is not easy to clear it at all, not to mention that the reason why the Platinum Consortium has such a big power today is that the Free Federation itself has a share of credit."

Ruan Chi was secretly speechless when he heard this, and muttered: "Isn't this just the collusion between officials and businessmen?" Rub, I didn't expect this kind of thing to be the same in that world. ”

"Our Majesty the Queen has long suspected that the Free Federation is likely to secretly instruct the Platinum Consortium to invade our territory, and the ultimate goal of the slave catcher team is not only to capture our compatriots as slaves, but also to reduce the population of our elves before the start of the Fourth War of the Thrones."

"This is absolutely amazing, you don't have to come forward to be a villain, even if you accuse each other in person, the other party can still push it away." Ruan Chi shouted with a thumbs up.

Speaking of this, Ruan Chi then asked puzzledly, "But then again, letting them capture some of your clansmen won't affect the outcome of a war, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as this was mentioned, Rachel became anxious, "How can it be impossible, our clan has been recuperating for a thousand years, and the population has finally recovered, and now there have been frequent disappearances in the past three or four years, which has caused my clan to lose thousands of people." ”

"No, it's just thousands, I thought it was ......" Ruan Chi was halfway through speaking, and suddenly looked at Rachel with a strange expression, "Then I want to ask, what is the total population of your white elves?" ”

"About 2 million ......"

"......" Ruan Chi was stunned for a long time, then raised his forehead and said: "I have thought of it a long time ago, this ...... What is the trouble with these 2 million people? A small kingdom of Ranster will destroy your entire country, and you will say that you have been recuperating for thousands of years. ”

"What's the solution, the fertility rate of our elves is already very low, it's good to be able to keep the population from decreasing, how can it be compared with those alien races with high growth rates of the human race?" Rachel was a little unconvinced.

"I really didn't expect you to have fertility difficulties......

"Fighting a war is about tactics, what's wrong with a small population, why are you talking about this problem inexplicably?"

"Eldest sister, don't you know how to count?" Ruan Chi was convinced, and said with his forehead: "Okay, let me ask you a question first, what is the current population of the human race?" ”

"The Terrans have a total of 25 kingdoms of various sizes and 1 central empire under the rule of the Free Federation, and the total population seems to be 1.7 billion."

"Isn't that right, can you see how 1.7 billion can be compared to 2 million?"

"Good...... It doesn't seem to be comparable to ......" Rachel was a little hesitant at first, but then retorted, "What if we have fewer people?" Each of our elves is a warrior, and the adolescence is particularly long, and in terms of combat effectiveness, we are one of the top ten of their human race. ”

"If you are asked to fight ten of you, you will have a maximum of 20 million people, but 1.7 billion people, a difference of 85 times."

“……”

"I heard a great man say before, there is great power in numbers, look at you like a few people, people will grind you to death just by grinding, and you still beat a hair?" Ruan Chi sighed as he looked up to the sky with his hands behind his back.

"......" (To be continued......)
