Rose waved rose petals in both hands, and with another wave of her movement, a tree root suddenly rose from the grass and wrapped its arms around one of the archers' wrists.

Caught off guard, the bow flew out and landed steadily in the vest of a human soldier in front of him.

After feeling the gradual depletion of the magic power in her body, Rose couldn't help but exhale, raised her hand, and quickly retreated with the humans who were caught by the rosebuds, while shouting, "(Fairy words) Everyone! OK! Stop it! ”

In the case of continuous fighting, the flower fairies themselves are also very tired. After hearing the call of the acting leader, the flower fairies hurriedly flew into the air, quickly flew behind Rose, and one by one gasped, floating in the air with difficulty.

And the human soldiers who saw these flower goblins suddenly retreating also stopped fighting for a while, and instinctively took a few steps back, distancing themselves from these flower goblins. In particular, the magicians ran out of the magic range as soon as the time limit was finally over, quickly recovering their magic and preparing for the next battle.

Arrow looked at the situation on both sides.

On the Flower Fairy's side, together with Rose herself, a total of fifteen Flower Fairies participated in the battle just now. After the scuffle just now, a total of five sisters were arrested on their side.

A tired look appeared on each of the flower elves' faces, and they all gasped for air, covered in the mud they had received from their falls. One of the flower fairies had its wings broken, and was now being lifted in mid-air by two companions.

Then, look at the human side again.

This time, it was only the vanguard of Lord Norris, almost a hundred or so. There was a queue of about three hundred people waiting in the back.

However, the vanguard of the 100 men is not in good condition now, they are also very tired, and many of them are scarred. Because there was no support from the magician, many of them did not die, but many of them had their arms and legs broken, and all of them looked embarrassed.

At the same time, five large rose buds were suspended beside Rose, each containing a human soldier.

What's more, it's not just the rose that has buds next to it. Beside the other tired flower fairies, there were two more, and one less, adding up to a total of seventeen flower buds suspended there. This also means that in this battle, the flower elves captured a total of seventeen human soldiers.

"Whew...... Mankind! ”

After taking a breath, Rose endured the tiredness of her body, opened her mouth, and shouted—

"Change! Change! ”

As she shouted, she held out her finger at the sisters who had been captured by humans and kept in bird cages or bags.

After shouting twice in a row, she jerked up her hand and made a slow squeezing motion. With her movements, the buds that were holding the soldiers began to shrink slowly. With the contraction, some of the soldiers' feet were still hanging from the outside of the buds, but now they were twitching violently! It seems impossible to imagine what exactly is happening to them now.

————

"(Fairy language) catches ...... Mankind? ”

Rose looked surprised.

But Arrow nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "(Fairy language) That's right. I don't think you'll die in the first conflict. After all, no matter what, the goal of human beings to capture you is also for your beauty and efficacy. Obviously, a living flower goblin is worth more than a dead flower goblin. Therefore, in the case that humans will not kill you, you cannot directly kill you, and at the same time you have to catch a few more human soldiers back. Well...... In my opinion...... Let's count it as three times as many as the humans have captured your sisters. ”

Hearing this, Rose turned her head and discussed with the sisters beside her. Obviously, this method was very incomprehensible to these flower elves, and Rose turned her head again, frowning and asked, "(Fairy language) Excuse me, what's the use of catching soldiers?" Can you still infer that the humans who came to capture us love nurses? ”

Arrow couldn't help but laugh, and this smile made the flower fairies look a little more nervous.

"Love nurses? Hahaha, what are you kidding, a soldier is just a expendable for the nobles, more often than just a number. How can you love the nurse soldiers? ”

Such a sentence made Rose even more incomprehensible. Similarly, after Parfay's translation, the members of Mermaid Song now have confused expressions.

"Well, for the noble lords, the soldier is a tool, and there is no love or care at all. But you must also know that although the nobles have no feelings for soldiers, they have a very strong feelings for money. And in a way, the soldiers are equal to the money of these noble lords. ”

————

yes, equal to money.

Arrow clenched his fist slightly, looking at the confrontation in the distance, his heart was also beating quickly with excitement!

In the case of market capitalization, a flower fairy should be worth two or three hundred gold coins, right?

But for a lord who dies a soldier in his army, then the pension should not be less than fifty gold coins.

At first glance, exchanging three soldiers for a flower elf doesn't seem like a loss, but the reality of the situation absolutely does not allow a lord to make such a "cheap" conversion.

After the battle just now, many of these soldiers were wounded, and many of them were not even lightly wounded.

A soldier who is wounded and unable to fight is not a soldier, but he still needs to pay his salary and salary during the time he recovers.

Add to that the maintenance of weapons, potions, armor, and the consumption of the road. In the end, if it is not exchanged, it is equivalent to adding the pensions of the seventeen soldiers.

So is that the end of it?

Just kidding, of course not.

The above losses are only direct economic losses, and there are indirect losses.

The places of the dead soldiers had to be filled, so they had to be re-recruited. Go through the recruitment process again, and rearrange the accommodation and food arrangements for the new soldiers.

On top of that, these soldiers also need to be retrained, and this period of training also represents a financial loss.

Capture the flower goblin for money.

But if you can't make much money by catching the flower goblins, or if you can make money but the process is extremely hard, and it will bring you a lot of trouble, what is the point of catching the flower goblins?

"Your Excellency Viscount Norris!"

Arrow shouted, and when the cold-faced lord turned his head to look at him, he said with a smile—

"If we stop now, I'm sure the Flower Elves are still willing to negotiate peacefully. What do you think? ”

Are you willing to spend a lot of effort, trekking through mountains and rivers, exhausting tricks, and spending a lot of physical and mental energy to earn 100 gold coins?

Or would you rather lie comfortably or earn 50 gold for nothing while you run other jobs?

Economic choices are always so cold. So, Iero wanted to see if the lord could accept such an exchange.

For a long time, for a long time......

Viscount Norris's eyes stared coldly at the flower goblins who were confronting his soldiers.

He was also looking at these exhausted, scarred soldiers.

After observing for a moment, the anger that had accumulated on his face suddenly turned into a sneer?

With this sneer, the lord slowly raised his head and said loudly, "Man-eating whale, what you said is indeed right. ”

The members of the Sea Shark Guild on the side were suddenly stunned, and the man-eating whale also turned its head to look at the lord.

"Indeed, as you said, I am an academic person who only knows how to carry out some so-called microeconomic operations, and his combat effectiveness is not strong, and he only knows how to use some small brains. Compared to you, a professional who has been adventuring everywhere for a long time, I do have very little experience with monsters. ”

"But...... But ah......"

"Can you tell me now? Tell me, why is this the way it is today? ”

"Didn't you swear to me before that the flower goblins have always been known for their cowardice and cowardice, and it would be a no-brainer to capture them?"

"But now...... Why do these flower goblins display such great power? Come and tell me now, how am I going to be able to see these little things as gold that can be easily picked up? ”

From beginning to end, the lord's tone seemed normal.

There is no pride, and there is no resentment. It's like talking to ordinary people about trivial things in life all the time, without any violent emotional ups and downs.

Hearing Norris say this, the man-eating whale couldn't help but snort coldly. But compared to Norris's "sarcasm", he didn't show any desire to rush directly to fight or talk back. After thinking for a moment, the leader of the Sea Shark Guild suddenly shifted his gaze to Arrow next to him. His gaze kept scanning over the short man, and his scarred face now looked much more serious.

Seeing that the man-eating whale didn't respond to him, Norris couldn't help but snort and raised his hand: "Release people." ”

The soldiers in front saw their lord give the order, and after a moment's hesitation, finally opened the cage where the flower goblins were kept.

The five flower fairies in captivity shuffled out of their cages, and as soon as they were freed, they flew to Rose's side at great speed and apologized softly.

Rose shook her head, and after calming the sisters, she waved her hand as well. Those huge buds slowly floated to the ground and opened. The soldiers inside rolled out in a panic, and after showing a slightly confused expression, they immediately ran towards their own human team.
