Chapter 482: Who's Prey (Part II)

In the Forest of Mist, the frost and snow elves can be perfectly hidden in the forest with their own characteristics and the talents given by Yalin, and for such a long time, only Princess Luo Jie'an, who also has a little white dragon blood, and Rogge, the black dragon who is beyond the world, have noticed it, and no mercenary and adventurer has been able to see through the disguise of the frost and snow elves.

Along the way, the frost and snow elves easily followed behind the mercenaries, and there were only a few mages in the entire team who needed to pay attention, but now the mages did not cast a large-scale detection spell in order to save mana, and only applied a little protective magic to themselves. Although his perception as a mage is amazing, the frost and snow elf scouts who act at home can still lightly cover the eyes and ears of the mages. However, after following the mercenary group for a while, the scouts suddenly realized that it seemed that it was not just their own people who were following the mercenary group.

As they moved along with the mercenary group, an elven scout spotted two women dressed as warriors following the mercenary group.

This discovery was quickly reported, and if this mercenary group was followed by some scattered mercenaries who were ready to pick up the leaks, then it needed to be rearranged. The elven scout, who received the new order, immediately began to investigate whether there was anyone else behind the two female warriors, but after waiting for a long time, no follow-up personnel were found, and it seemed that there were only these two people from beginning to end.

In the end, Kim Bradley, who was in charge of the commander-in-chief, decided to continue to ambush the mercenary group according to the predetermined plan, and the ↙ two female warriors who followed behind him could not be spared, no matter what their purpose was.

And at this moment, the black dragon princess Ceratia has not yet realized that her subordinates have been discovered, although the strength of these two female warriors is very special, but most of them are used for combat, just like Ceratia promised in front of Crossside before, they are just soulless dolls, so these two female warriors who lack part of their self-awareness are very poor in perception. If Seratia was also present, relying on the black dragon's powerful divine sense and perception, the Frost and Snow Spirit Scout would definitely not be able to hide from Seratia's ears and eyes. But now Seratia was still far away, and although the perceptual magic was applied on the bodies of the two female warriors, the magic could only transmit back images and sounds for Ceratia to see and hear, and as for perceiving with her divine sense, it was impossible to do so.

Not long after Kim Bradley decided to add two of Seratia's subordinates to the target, the Eagle Mercenaries and the Slave Catchers finally found some important clues, some evidence that there were indeed elves living in this forest. This delighted the mercenaries and slave catchers who had thought it would take many days to search. You know, staying here for an extra day will cost you a lot more, and the ghost weather here is really uncomfortable, although the blizzard has miraculously stopped now, but who can guarantee that there will be such good weather tomorrow.

Led by the old hunter, the scouts followed them to search for possible elven habitats, and finally at 10 p.m. came the good news that the scouts had found the elven habitat, and it was a large town.

"Are you sure? How many people are there? Is there a defense?"

Garnate immediately asked, like a cannonball, that according to the scouts, the location of the town was a relatively empty area, and he had initially followed an elf to get there. Because the whole town seems to be shrouded in an illusionary barrier, and nothing can be seen from the outside. The number of people is too short to pay attention to, but according to the size of the town, it should be roughly the same as the team on your side.

"There's an illusion enchantment!?" a mage looked a little solemn: "It seems that these elves are not left behind from the fugitive elves, they should have lived here a long time ago." ”

"Of course, the hair of these elves is indeed the rumored silver!"

The scout who had gone to the town to scout before said with great interest, and every time he thought of those silver-haired elves with beautiful faces and tall bodies and fair skin like jade, the scout felt a sense of dryness and heat in his lower body. Those silver-haired elves who looked cold. When the time comes, I will press them on my body and listen to their cries, I don't know how cool it will be.

"You weren't found, were you?"

"Of course!"

Garnat pondered for a moment and immediately ordered the team to stop and hide, and because he was not worried, Garnat decided to go and check it out himself, and made a final decision.

The mage with the highest magic level said that he also walked with him. The group of scouts quickly touched the location of the town they had found before, and in order to prevent them from getting lost, the scouts had quietly marked them with branches and stones, even if the town was shrouded in an illusion barrier, they could roughly determine the location of the location through guò markers.

Suddenly, it was as if a viscous wall of transparent gel had been built, and the dense forest in front of me vanished in an instant, replaced by a large open clearing and a town with a distinctly elven style.

Due to the need for low-entry reconnaissance this time, the mage who followed immediately performed stealth and anti-detection techniques for everyone, and at the same time, the mage also began to study the illusion enchantment just now and judged the magic level of the elf mage who created the enchantment and the approximate manpower required. After all, when you go on a raid next, you may have to face an opponent who is also a magician.

Then the stealth ability quietly climbed a big tree, and Garnath condescendingly observed the town, and sure enough, the streets were full of walking silver-haired elves, many of whom were wearing leather armor and carrying bows and arrows, and were obviously excellent warriors who were very accustomed to fighting. In terms of numbers, Garnat can also be sure that there are about four or five hundred people as judged by the scouts, which is about the same number as the mercenary group and the slave catcher, but the mercenary group and the slave catcher team are all warriors. And the elves in this town have to exclude some of the old and weak women and children, and probably the combat power that can really be mobilized is probably about 200 people.

No wonder so many adventurers and mercenaries enter this place and never return, Garnate thinks he has found the reason, God knows that there is still a town inhabited by elves in the forests of this far north.

Garnat made sure he wouldn't make a mistake in his judgment, but then again, with the elves' delicate mind and pursuit of beauty, every building they built was a work of art. Since many nobles liked to buy these things at a high price, there were once slave catchers who would even take down the carved windows and doors when they raided elven towns and villages, and sold them for money. But this time, Garnat always felt that although these buildings were in the style of the elves, there was no carved decoration on them, and it was as if they were just built with bricks.

Perhaps these silver-haired elves probably don't have time to get these things because they have been fighting adventurers who break into the forest for a long time.

Garnat didn't pay much attention to this kind of small detail, he probably didn't know that it wasn't that these elves didn't like to do fine carving, but that a little bean was too troublesome.

In order to avoid being discovered, Garnat and the others quickly returned to the team.

After learning about the discovery of an elven town for a while, the entire mercenary team and slave catcher team were excited, but the leaders led by Ganat were not as excited as the mercenaries below, the elven town of four or five hundred people was not so easy to be captured, and the other party could fight at least two hundred or more people, and there must be mages among them, even if it was a surprise attack, I am afraid it would be a vicious battle. The most important point is that his group is running to catch elf slaves, not to fight, if they really fight, even if they can win, but no one will buy a bunch of elf corpses back.

"We can't just look at a treasure mountain and go home empty-handed!"

"Your Excellency, I'm not saying that we won't attack this town, but we need to make some arrangements, otherwise we will lose a lot if we can capture the elven town. ”

Garnath was talking to the leader of the slave catcher, a Viscount named Damiri, a descendant of a noble family in the Kingdom of Karut, who seemed to have been ostracized by his family members and forced to become the head of the family's slave chamber in the Free City, who was bent on 'making a big splash' so that he could get the capital to return to the family. And now that the viscount had learned that he wanted to capture the elven town at any cost, he quickly returned after capturing a large number of elves.

This viscount doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates, but Garnat has to care about whether his mercenary group will lose too much because of reckless actions, you must know that if a mercenary group loses too much, then it can't be made up for with money, many backbones in the mercenary group are Ganat's cronies, if they die, it will affect Garnat's leadership position, and there are veterans in the mercenary group, if the number of these veterans killed is too large, even if they make up for the recruits, the mercenary group will not be able to recover its strength quickly, and the run-in period and adaptation period in the mercenary group without the guidance of veterans and the leadership of recruits will also be greatly extended。

Of course, Garnat doesn't want to wait until the Black Wolf Mercenary Group comes here to grab meat from him, although there are more than 1,000 Black Wolves, if they can get their help to capture this town, it is absolutely no problem, but if the Black Wolf comes, then his Eagle Mercenary Group will only have to drink soup, and it is not even soup to drink.

Not wanting to give up the huge interests in front of him, but also considering that the losses of his subordinates should not be too large, Garnat was a little distressed for a while.

"We take a night attack, attack from three points at the same time, and try to catch some elves. Garnat drew a rough topographical map of the snow and studied it with several team leaders, and it was clear that Garnat did not intend to wipe out all the elves in the town. (To be continued......)
