For a long time, the two races of humans and elves have been regarded as a pair of brother races of the creator Zào.

Compared to humans, elves, intelligent beings evolved from plants, appeared on the continent of Avalon even earlier.

They were the first masters of the continent of Avalon.

It has a long and glorious history and a dazzling civilization. The city-states and states they established once spread to every corner of the continent. Whether it is art, law, literature, architecture, magic, martial arts, etc., they all have extremely high achievements.

Historically, elves have dominated the continent of Avalon for a long time, leading other races, including humans.

At that time, the continent of Avalon was filled with magnificent cities, ornate palaces, and elaborate sculptures built by elves. From the Endless Sea to the Broken Sky Mountains, from the heat to the southern rainforests to the cold northern wastelands, there are elven pyramids, temples of carved giant trees, pavilions in the sky and rainbow bridges everywhere.

Even the Ancient Tree of Life, which is now so rare that every elf regards it as the lifeblood of the race's inheritance, was as many as a thousand at that time.

Legend has it that the largest one is not much smaller than even a city. A huge canopy of trees obscured the entire sky. If you start from the west and run east in the morning, you will not be able to escape the shadow cast by the giant tree for a whole day.

Later, humans, who were more feral, more practical, and more adventurous, gradually replaced the elves with low fecundity, and became the rulers of the continent of Avalon.

The elves went from being the masters of the Avalon continent to becoming the second race, and then being surpassed by other races, and the number of races is now only the dwarves, ranking fourth behind humans, demons, and orcs.

However, this does not reduce the important position of the elves on this continent, let alone annihilate the influence and contribution of the elves to the civilization of the Avalon continent.

Until now, in the god-given land ruled by the demons, there are still many ancient ruins of elven creation. And the human world exiled to the land of redemption is also full of elven civilization achievements.

Especially in the period of history known as the Renaissance from the twenty years of the redemptive calendar, a large number of top architects, poets, painters, sculptors, and musicians emerged from the elves. It was they who brought the civilization of the Land of Redemption to a new level and made up for the civilization fault caused by the Hundred Years of Demon War.

Although they have completely different genes and evolutionary pathways, people have to sigh that the creator is miraculous that the physiological structure of humans and elves is as similar as 99%. Not only that, but humans and elves are able to intermarry with each other, and the offspring they produce are not defective.

However, after all, they are two completely different races, and humans and elves can still see some differences in some aspects.

First of all, the elves are slender and slender in both men and women. It is difficult to find warriors with infinite strength, and they are better at jumping and running in the jungle with a love of nature. Their natural agility allows them to easily catch up with apes in trees, cheetahs on the ground, and fish in the water.

Once the elves have completed their butterfly transformation, they will have the ability to fly in the sky. When their flower elf form grows into adulthood, even the fastest Shinfalcon is no match for them.

As such, in the continent of Avalon, elves are seen as natural archers, hunters, and scouts.

In terms of personality, elves have contradictory faces. They hold grudges and have a strong sense of revenge, but they love nature and peace, and never take the initiative to provoke wars. As long as they don't invade their territory, even dirty and ugly goblins can swagger past an elf without fear of being shot through the throat.

Genie's interest is more focused on the arts.

They have an incomprehensible obsession with art. To this day, the artistic achievements of the Renaissance dominated by the elves are difficult for humans to achieve.

More than ten years ago, an oil painting painted by the elf master Picasso once set a hammer price of 800,000 gold and lagoon. That's a full eight million Intex. More than ten times more than the price of paintings by the greatest human artists of the same period.

If these are not enough to quickly distinguish between humans and elves, then perhaps the most striking distinguishing feature between elves and humans is their thin, slightly pointed ears.

No matter how similar they may be, and no matter how much they have in common with humans in every way, elven ears are the hallmark of this elegant race. At this moment, in the golden sunlight and the gentle wind, the long hair of the two girls flying up at the same time, the slightly pointed ears are almost identical. Roy, Ivan and the others stared at Miki tightly, and the mercenaries also looked at Malt dumbfounded. They all knew that their people were elves, and no one expected that the other party actually had elves.

Compared to Roy, the expressions on the faces of the mercenaries were obviously more exciting. You know, Miki, who has a rather tortuous origin. In the past, he was an elven temple guard who had completed the transformation of butterflies. Even among the rangers of the entire Ice Star Mercenary Regiment, her strength is considered to be the top in the ranks!

It's shocking enough that Mai'er was able to tie with Miki, and it was shocking enough to pick off Miki's mask with one sword, and what was even more incredible was that she looked even younger than Miki's age!

"What's going on?" asked Fergus, who stopped the conflict and looked over at Alder, the leader of the Bright Squad, with a calm face.

For a caravan, safety and unity are paramount. If there is infighting in the team, there will be hidden dangers. This is something he cannot tolerate in any case.

"Misunderstanding. Alder saluted Fergus, then turned to look at Roy, his eyes narrowing slightly, "They're blocking Miki's angle of bowing, and if they encounter an enemy, this area could be a breach for the enemy." When Miki asked them to get out of the way, there might have been some misunderstanding in words. ”

Alder's answer was so even-cut that it was impossible to fault the slightest. Although everyone, including Fergus, knows about rushing

This is not the case with the real cause of the outbreak, but there is something that cannot be investigated. Once the contradictions are made public, there will be no room for relaxation, and when the time comes, everyone will not be able to step down.

Knowing this, Fergus snorted coldly, turned his head, and cast an apologetic look at Ivan who rode over.

"Mr. Ivan is so sorry for ......," said Fergus, "look at this ......"

Ivan interrupted Fergus without waiting for him to finish, stretched out his hand and pointed at Roy and said, "Mr. Fergus, you need to say that the person you are sorry for is not me, but my boss." ”

Boss?

Looking at the four knights who had already drawn their long swords and their eyes were cold, the caravan members and mercenaries were stunned, and Fergus gasped.

Wandering around all the year round, Fergus is no weaker than anyone else in his ability to read things, and he is often proud of his vicious vision. Although Ivan and Sanjie only wore the most ordinary armor and coats, and did not even have a large coat that was regarded as the standard costume of knights, they sat down on the majestic war horse, the sharp riding spear on the horse, the heavy big sword and the fierce aura that vaguely exuded from the burly body, but he instinctively felt that it was not simple.

This is also the reason why as soon as he left the city of Edin, Fergus took the initiative to invite Ivan and others to accompany him.

In Roy, however, his proud vision has been skewed. He always thought that Roy, who was dressed ordinarily and looked rustic, was just a follower of Ivan and others, at most a junior who was in the same company. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the boss of Ivan and others.

While Fergus was looking at Roy, the Ranger Miki and Malt were also looking at each other.

The Dark Elves and the Elves are originally the same race, and although the world they live in is blocked by the Broken Sky Mountain Range, which reaches into the sky, and their traditions and natures are different, there is no difference in appearance between the two. The only difference may be the demon mark hidden by the dark elves on their hips.

"Elf?" Miki's gaze softened slightly, and her slender ten fingers flipped over and two. Two clouds of snow light danced in the void, and suddenly disappeared...... "Which one are you?"

The current elf clan is divided into two major branches, one lives in the Warcraft Mountain Range and the other lives in the Broken Sky Mountain Range. Because of the distance, it is difficult for the two elves to meet each other except in the human world. As a result, elves will all ask each other about their branches when they meet.

Because they are the same branch, it means that even if they live in different lakeside cities, they also belong to the same temple.

According to the tradition of the elves, the relationship between the elves of the same temple is like that of brothers and sisters, even closer than the members of a family in the human world. The oracle admonishes one another to care for one another. Not to mention doing things to each other, even if it is a bad word, it is a very strict mistake.

Naturally, Mai'er couldn't answer Miki's words. As a result of rash impersonation, there is a half chance that you belong to the same elven temple as the other party. The Elven Temple is the temple of the elves, and they know every elf well. As long as Miki has time to check, she can immediately find the problem. ,

"Nasty woman, who wants to be close to you!" The dark elf thought in his heart, but his face made a hesitant look, glanced at Roy, and whispered: "I ............" At this moment, Roy, who cooperated with the tacit understanding, had already hooked the corners of his mouth, and a cold smile of evil spirit appeared on his face, and he scolded coldly: "Mai'er, come over to Lao Tzu." Let you fight, but not let you climb relatives with her. ”

When Mai'er heard the sound, she secretly pursed her lips and snickered, but her eyes suddenly turned red. She put away the sword in her hand, glanced at Miki pitifully, lowered her head and moved, and returned to Roy's side like a wronged little daughter-in-law. It's completely devoid of the sassy demeanor when he shot just now.

"What are you looking at?" Roy pulled Malt behind her, blocking between her and Miki, his eyes glaring, "She's Lao Tzu's female slave, which one has anything to do with you!"

Hearing Roy's words, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Many people looked at Roy with disdain. Even Fergus frowned slightly.

In the eyes of most people, those nobles who kept elf slaves as a status symbol, and those slave traders who captured and sold elves, were the scum of the human race.

However, in this world where slaves are protected by private property laws. Anyone, including human beings, becomes a slave and becomes an object of private ownership. Not to mention that ordinary people have no right to interfere, even the emperor cannot grant him freedom if his master refuses.

Miki sped down from the carriage and strode towards Roy.

Miki is beautiful. Even Roy, who had lived in Elven Lakeside City, had to admit that Miki was the most beautiful elf he had ever seen.

At this moment, the elf girl's eyes narrowed slightly, her ears trembled sharply with anger, and there was a dangerous power hidden in her rapid pace and vigorous body.

Ivan and Sanjie rode in Roy's way. The four knights sat high on their horses, condescending, and looked at Miki coldly. Although they didn't stimulate the fighting spirit and battle ring, the strength and murderous energy contained in their burly and fierce bodies were ten times more dangerous than Miqi!

"Miki!" Alder grabbed Miki's arm, his eyes touched Ivan and the others, turned his head to look at Roy, and spat fiercely on the ground, "Don't go over." ”

"Miki, come back. ”

"Don't be impulsive. ”

The mercenaries on the side also surrounded one after another, looking at Roy and the others vigilantly while blocking in front of Miki.

Miki struggled, unable to break free of Alder's giant bear-like hand, gritted her teeth and turned her head, returning to the crowd of the Blazing Squad.

The mercenary companions surrounded her, a middle-aged female mercenary gently took her into her arms, and the others looked at Roy with hateful eyes, while you whispered and comforted her.

Few people know that Miki is the survivor of a human slave catcher attack.

Two years ago, Miki lost her home and loved ones because of an attack by a slave hunting team of up to 200 people. The small village where she was razed to the ground, dozens of elven civilians were captured and killed, and eleven of the twelve elven guards were killed. She was the only one who slipped through the net.

Since then, Miki has embarked on a journey to find her relatives and enemies.

Because of her lack of experience in human society, and her own person, Miki has almost fallen into the traps of slave hunters, robbers, and liars several times. I don't know how much I suffered and how many sins I suffered, but I finally met Alder by chance and joined the Ice Star Mercenary Group.

From extreme hatred of humans to acceptance of those around her, everyone knows that Miki has gone through a painful process.

The experience of two years ago filled this elf girl's heart with anger and hatred. When she walked into the human world, she was a cold killer who completely sealed her heart. It was the joint efforts of Alder and everyone in the Flame Squad that made her gradually come out of the Yin Bully and become a little more normal.

However, in the face of strangers and people that mercenaries don't like, she will still seem cold and impersonal. This is also the most fundamental reason for the conflict between her and Roy.

"Damn trash, let's find a chance to kill him!"

"Yes. ”

"Be quiet. ”

The mercenaries gathered around Miki and whispered. ,

In the entire Ice Star Mercenary Regiment, young people who want to pursue Miki can be lined up all the way from here to Muni City. The young men in Bright Squad and Thorn Squad are no exception.

They all knew that for Miki, who had a tragic experience and had not yet found her relatives who had been captured, the word slave was the deepest wound in her heart, not to mention seeing an elf girl being someone else's female slave and being wantonly drunk. If you can get that elf girl out......

The mercenaries exchanged glances, and for a while they only felt that their blood was surging and their arrogance was dry.

"Don't worry, Ran slowly think of a way. The mature middle-aged female mercenary didn't seem to blame the young mercenaries. She hugged the pale Miki and set her eyes on Alder, who was walking towards her with Ivan and the others, who were staring at each other separately.

Met her gaze, Alder glanced at Roy quietly, and then looked at Musie, the silent leader of the Thorn Squad. The three of them exchanged a knowing look with each other and quietly looked away.

It's just a second ancestor who doesn't have much strength.

As long as the four knights are transferred away, they can bury him by digging a pit at will! This kind of scum, no one will be merciful when killing 10,000!

The brief conflict, with the intervention of Fergus, quickly subsided.

The temporary fortifications of twenty wagons have also been completed thanks to the efforts of the mercenaries. In front of the carriage were deer stakes tied with sharp wooden stakes, an armor-piercing crossbow with an arrow that could shoot a heavily armored horse head-on, and a number of small hoof pits were dug under the surrounding hillsides that were hidden by turf.

Sixty guards and a dozen mercenaries, also under the same deployment, were divided into four sides. In front were shield-wielding swordsmen, and on the carriages were hunters with bows and arrows. Horse-mounted knights were located at the bottom of the hillside, forming a chair angle with the convoy, which was convenient for movement and combat, and harassed the enemy's flank.

The entire defense system is complete and strong, even against five hundred bandits, enough to last an entire day.

However, no one took this well-constructed body music seriously.

For the mercenaries, this is just a completely unnecessary job. The reason why it was done meticulously was just to fulfill its responsibilities. Not for the bastard who was lying on the turf and letting the elven slave massage.

"Lao Tzu is really wronged. ”

In the disgusting eyes of everyone, the big-headed man who was lying on the grass and enjoying his face was gloomy.

"Why did the master wrong?" Mai'er obviously entered the state of a female slave, and asked softly as she pressed Roy's leg and chuckled.

This kind of man-pleasing work was originally an instinctive talent of the dark elves. There is no difficulty for the malt, who has been specially studied in several brothels of the human race. A set of flexible and professional massage techniques were displayed, not only did the eyes of the mercenaries around them burn, but even Ivan and the others couldn't help but wonder if Malt was a female slave specially cultivated by Roy.

"I said don't you take it so seriously......", Roy Snorted as he glared at Malt, "You don't think they hate me enough?"

"Whatever they think!" said Malt, chuckling under her breath.

Since more than a year ago, the girl-hearted eldest lady was determined to seduce Roy, all kinds of seduction techniques of the dark elves have been tried on Roy. However, I had never found such a good opportunity before. Now that she has become a female slave, of course she has to make good use of it and do her best.

There's nothing more fun for the Dark Elves than this.

"Fuck. Roy had a headache and peeked at the elf in the distance, just as he noticed that her eyes were staring at him like a knife.

Thinking about Roy with his ass, he knows that these guys may see themselves as the kind of scum who use secret techniques to teach elves and train beauty dogs. Who would have thought that the fucking dark elves don't need to be trained at all, and Malt is born with this mouthful. Look at her brow-smiling face!

Time flies, and half a prayer hour has passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, the road detectives sent out reported several times, but did not find any abnormalities. There was no trace of bandits around, and the caravan belonging to the [Cactus Merchant Group] and the small number of people following the merchant group in the back were also marching in this direction, looking normal.

Just when the contempt on the corners of the mercenaries' mouths became thicker and thicker, and even Fergus felt that he was a little too nervous, suddenly, several road scouts on fast horses rushed from a distance at the same time.

As soon as they saw so many road scouts appear at the same time, and then saw their crazy horses galloping, everyone suddenly became nervous.

When the road detective turned over and dismounted in front of the convoy, a shocking news made the ominous premonition come true.

"Mr. Fergus, the [Cactus] caravan has been attacked by bandits, and it is the [Black Skull] bandits. They numbered more than six hundred!"

"One of the road detectives we sent to the front checkpoint was killed by the guards at the checkpoint, and they and a group of Wenger cavalry who suddenly appeared were coming towards us. "The checkpoints in the rear have also moved closer to our side. ”

The reports of the road detectives rushed to the end, like a basin of ice water, which instantly poured everyone cold.

The attack on the cactus caravan - the road scout was killed - and then Wenger's cavalry appeared, and the abnormal movement of the rear checkpoint was instantly connected in people's minds.

"Didn't the Black Skull Bandits say that they had been driven out of this area by the people of Viscount Wenger?" exclaimed a merchant group leader with a pale face.

"The Holy Emperor is above, and they killed our road scouts. I said how could there be so many robberies in such a short period of time, damn it, it must have been the fellows of Viscount Wenger and the bandits working together!" said one of the mercenaries, his eyes widened in shock, and he looked at his companion.

Everyone was in a mess for a while.

"Yes, that's right, if it weren't for Arsene Wenger's men, how could the bandits approach the road so lightly. ”

"I see, these guys set up these levels to drive away the other bandits, and then split their chosen targets so that the Black Skull bandits could take action! None of the merchants who were attacked some time ago survived, and that's why............"

When the voice said this, the entire caravan fell silent.

Everyone looked at the clear-minded and analytical caravan escort captain in the middle in shock, and listened to him finally muttered a creepy conclusion from his mouth.

"Whoever asked for help, they killed them!"

A chill ran down everyone's backs and jumped on top of their heads. Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Roy, who was standing aside.

"You guessed it. Fergus looked back at the fortifications on the hillside, and then turned to look at Roy. If it weren't for Roy's reminder, the current caravan would be a lamb to the slaughter!

The more great the change, the calmer Fergus became. However, he still couldn't suppress the confusion in his heart, and asked, "How did you guess?"

"I didn't guess. Roy shook his head, "I just think it's time for the perverse Cheng to be vigilant." ”

"Tell me about it. Fergus nodded.

"According to the announcement of the Unknown Hall, some time ago, there were ten attacks on this road, six in the Medin collar, two in the Wenger collar, and two in the public road northeast of the Wenger collar. Moreover, in every attack, there is no living mouth left in the end, which is the first thing that I find strange. ”

Roy pointed his fingers and said: "Second, we came all the way, and the proportion of goods and personnel charged at these checkpoints seems to be normal, but in fact, in order to spare the wealthy merchant groups, the civilians who can't afford to pay the customs clearance fee and the mercenaries who are unwilling to pay are intercepted or driven to other roads." This is another anomaly. ”

Fergus nodded, saw Roy pull off the third finger, and asked, "What is the third?"

"Since the outbreak of the thief dispute, Viscount Wenger has been fighting against Medin City. Relying on the large number of people and the support of the Holy See, they even sent tax collectors to the periphery of Medin City. Extortion, extortion, forcible seizure. What he did alarmed Archduke Adolf and did not restrain himself, why is that?"

The crowd was silent, watching Roy silently, waiting for his answer.

"Because of certain things in the past and the war that is looming in front of us, there is no need for Viscount Wenger to stay here. They hugged the papal see and some people's thick legs and wanted to get out of here. If I'm not mistaken, someone who should have died is in the bandits. This is his last chance to make a fortune. ”

At this point, Roy suddenly stopped and stared into the distance.

Confused as to who the "man who should have died" in his mouth was, everyone turned their heads to follow his gaze. Amid a faint clash of swords and a clamor of swords, a caravan and dozens of civilians were rushing out of the horizon, leaving the road under the desperate cover of the guards, stumbling towards this direction.

And in the confrontation crowd on the horizon, the two slender figures were already stumbling under their feet, covered in blood.

"Prepare for battle!" the captain of the guard let out a loud shout!

Amid the shouts and panicked footsteps, Roy's gaze fixed on the two identical figures.

"It's Ling Xuan's sister!"

Roy turned and galloped towards his warhorse, but before he could run to him, he kicked his feet, jumped up in the air, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and the spurs under his feet stabbed the horse's belly violently, and the lightning shot out.

Roy moved, and Ivan, Sanjie, Malt and Oliver also moved at the same time.

"What do they want to do?"

The people standing on the hillside were stunned by Roy's sudden move.

Miki somersault and jumps onto the roof of a carriage. She looked condescendingly. I saw Roy as the leader, six people and a dog jumping down the hillside, like a flying trident, whirling and rushing on the verdant field.
