Chapter 28: Acquaintance

"I know you!"

Rod whispered.

This surprised the Wood Elves, she had never expected to encounter dwarves and human troops in the cold and snow of Norscar, and she had never imagined that there would be anyone in this army who knew her.

Aryria looked at the tall and mighty man in front of her, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

"Kislev, when Erengrad rebelled, in the Dark Forest, we fought each other!"

Rod reminded.

Aryria suddenly remembered that yes, she had been to Kislev before, and that there she had met a human warrior who had tied with her. Could it be him?

She hadn't seen her for years, and she only remembered the hardships of the battle, but the man's face had long since forgotten. After all, they've only met once. I never imagined that I would meet here in such an capacity many years later.

But it can't be, that human warrior used all his strength to tie with him, why is he so tough today? Is it his own delusion? Or because of the cold, he has lost his strength? Aryria asked herself inwardly.

"Really?"

Aryria smiled lightly, her pretty eyelashes slightly upturned. The captain of the guard on the side was itching, and the dwarven butcher was eager to chop her up with an axe.

"I remember that fight, you were shot by me. ”

The Wood Elf spoke, but there was pride in his words.

"Indeed, so I remember, you are the only Ranger who shot and wounded me. ”

Rod returned with a smile. The words implied that there was no enemy on the battlefield who could hurt him. Of course, this is just a battle of words, and along the way, Rod doesn't know how many scars he already has on his body. If it weren't for the bear god's favor, I don't know how many times I would have died.

"Tell me, why did you attack my camp in the first place?"

Rod's expression became serious.

"For the money. The human aristocracy of Erengrad had money. You know, wandering around, costs money. ”

The female elf did not shy away from speaking bluntly.

"Well, having said all that, don't you think you should let your men lay down their weapons first?"

Rod smiled and pointed to the Rick Praetorian Guards not far away, wearing armor and holding long swords and heavy shields.

Aryria waved her hand, and the Imperial Forbidden Army soldier lowered his weapon.

"Well, it's the same question from just now. I'm curious, why do you, a wood elf, lead an Imperial army, or Rick's forbidden army? Also, what kind of enmity do you have with Chaos, chasing the murderer for thousands of miles, and you came to such a place?"

Rhodes talked to the wood elves. Others cleaned the battlefield, scavenging the dead tribal barbarians for food or other things of value.

"My homeland, the Forest of Etholoren, was recently invaded by the Beastmen, who were led by demons blessed by Chaos. This cruel, bloody, foul-smelling army entered the forest, slaughtered my people, and burned the forest. It has caused great suffering to the forests and the land, and the pollution caused by it has not been completely eliminated for centuries. What's even worse is that this monster appears almost every hundred years, causing indelible damage to the forest of Etholoren. My people only know how to defend, driving the beastmen out of the forest again and again, but they never want to go to the root of it all!"

Standing in front of Rod, the female elf spoke resentfully.

"So you followed the trail of chaos alone and came to the northern Norscan Peninsula?"

Rod asked.

The Wood Elf nodded.

"So, what's going on with these Imperial Praetorian Army? As far as I know, Rick's Praetorian Guards only follow the Emperor's orders and do not accept employment from any employer. ”

Rod then asked.

"I saved their emperor, so the emperor allocated a part of his soldiers to me. ”

The female elf replied succinctly, as if she didn't want to mention the whole thing too much. But Rhodes was very curious, the emperor of the empire was so easy to meet? he was attacked, and a wood elf saved him? 918

"This lady is right, she saved my emperor. I was there at the time, and the beastmen ambushed us. It was Lady Aryria who showed up in time to kill the leader of the beastmen and save us all. ”

Varik walked over and said earnestly.

"Your name is Aryria?"

Rhodes asked, turning his head.

The Wood Elf didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

"It's a nice name, and it means Kazekage in Elven language. ”

Rod said with a smile.

"You know Elvish?"

The Wood Elf's eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity. She wondered why the human in front of her knew everything, and he wasn't a scholar, just a martial artist. How could a knight wielding a great sword know so much?

"A little. ”

Rod smiled and gestured. But she still couldn't pass it on, and she could feel that the Wood Elf's curiosity had not diminished, and she wanted to learn more from her side.

"What are you doing here with these dwarves and soldiers?"

Aryria asked.

"Same as you. ”

Rod replied with a smile.

"Tracking Chaos?"

"Yes, my home has also been invaded, the walls have been destroyed, and there is much evidence that the frost dragon did it, so I brought this gang to hunt dragons. ”

Rod replied. This is the standard answer, but it is not the truth. Rhodes wouldn't tell her that the Frost Dragon wasn't found, but only the bones......

"Your courage is commendable. However, with your little people, I am afraid that it is not enough. ”

The female elf scoffed.

"The same goes for you. Relying on this, people want to find the source of chaos, and there is a gap between ideal and reality. ”

Rod scoffed.

The Wood Elf stopped talking again.

"Alright, we have to go. The barbarians will come back at any time, and when the time comes, it will not be as simple as an army of marauders. ”

Rod swept the snowflakes from his face and got up to speak.

"The body hasn't been disposed of yet!"

Aryria shouted.

"There's no time to deal with it, it doesn't matter if these corpses are burned or not, even if they are burned, they will leave traces, the Norscans have lived on this continent for so long, they are more familiar with how to hunt down prey than we do, and the ice wolves will follow the scent. We're prey now, and they're hunters, understand?"

Rhodes replied with a turn. You can see the unwilling expression on the female elf's face, needless to say that Rhodes also knows that she is unwilling to do something, and she ran all the way to the northern continent, but she returned in vain. In the end, he was chased and killed by a group of small soldiers, which was really humiliating.

But the reality is that in someone else's territory, you can only keep a low profile. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't fight the entire army on his own. If the entire Norsca army pounces, even the sons of the gods will not be able to bear it.

"By the way, you can come with us if you want. Walking together, you can take care of each other. From here to the south, there is a town, there is a small port, you can inform your companions to pick you up there, go by sea, safely. Don't worry, that town is my territory, and when you get there, you'll be met by my troops. ”

Rhodes added.
