Chapter 51: What a hobby is that?
The Noldor elves are not that easy to catch.
Although they don't know magic, most of their archery and martial arts have been honed to an extremely terrifying level in thousands of years of life, and almost every Noldor elf is a top warrior.
Even the Noldor girls who looked like girls were all skilled forest rangers - most of them were probably 100 years old, but they would maintain their youthful appearance as girls for hundreds of years.
In the plains, it may be easy for humans to overwhelm the scarce Noldor elves with their massive cavalry.
But in the vast primeval forest, cavalry is useless, and the powerful archery and ghostly body of the Noldor elves are almost no one can defend against them.
The slave catchers died in piles in the forest, becoming the fertilizer of the Long River Forest, making the flora and fauna of the forest more and more luxuriant, and also making the Noldor elves hide deeper.
After that, the human kingdom also formed a large army several times to try to sweep the Changhe Forest, but in the end, it was all wiped out and no bones remained.
The attitude of the Noldor elves towards humans has also become extremely fierce since then.
They began to attack any humans who appeared in the Long River Forest. Anyone who dares to enter the Long River Forest, as long as they encounter the Noldor elves, will almost without exception be shot silently.
After leaving behind countless human lives, this forest, which is even wider than the jurisdiction of Changhe Town, has become a forbidden place for mankind, and no one dares to pass through it unless they have a certain scale of armed forces.
Therefore, the Long River Forest is now also called the Noldor Forest.
The name actually represents a kind of compromise and concession of human beings - it is an admission that Noldor occupies this vast forest.
But there are some human desires that cannot be changed.
To this day, elven slaves are still expensive goods with no price, and they have always been purchased by wealthy nobles from various countries.
If there is demand, there will be suppliers, and there are still many slave catchers who fight elf ideas.
It's just that very few people succeed - if you calculate it on average, capturing an elven girl often costs hundreds of lives, if not more.
"Your Excellency, don't bother the Noldor elves...... This is more dangerous than a direct declaration of war on all countries. ”
Leon shook his head: "I'm not that stupid...... If the Noldor Elves had the skills of Risadillan, they would have to be allies rather than enemies. ”
Leon didn't dare to fight Noldo's idea, and he didn't have the ability to do that now......
Those Noldor warriors have hundreds of years of life, no matter how much the elves advocate art and don't like to practice martial arts, their proficiency is estimated to be lower than their own......
As for that Risa Dilan, his bow and arrow skills Li Ang sighed to himself - when someone shot that piece of barbecue, he really didn't aim much.
If it weren't for the coincidence that he injured an inconvenient part of him, he might not have been able to beat him.
"My lord, we're about to leave the forest, and if we don't delay, we should be able to reach our destination tonight."
Leslie, the logistics officer, came to report that it seemed that the village was not far away.
Passing through the outer edge of the forest, the road was safe, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, there was movement ahead.
Summer, who had been acting as a scout in front, ran back: "There is a fight ahead!" ”
Klose reacted quickly, stopped polishing the swords, jumped out of the carriage and handed Leon's saber.
Then the distribution of weapons to everyone began.
"I'll go check it out first."
Sarah stopped Leon, who was about to drive his horse forward, and rode ahead to check the situation.
So positive?
Has your personality changed?
Leon felt that Sarah seemed a little different from what she had been before.
However, it's good to work actively, and the lord likes to take the initiative the most often.
"There are a dozen people in front, who seem to be the elite of the Ebony Gauntlet Knights."
Sarah quickly returned, giving efficient advice: "The Ebony Gauntlets are regular knights who have always hated the Noldor elves. My lord, we have too many wounded now, and it is better not to have any conflicts. ”
Leon nodded and walked forward, brushing aside the branches that blocked his view.
On the road ahead, the fighting continued, and several knights with fist coats on their breastplates were besieging a Noldor elf, surrounded by a number of people with heavy crossbows.
Several knights did not use swords, but iron hammers, and their attacks were also very measured, and it seemed that they wanted to capture them alive completely.
The elf was good, but he seemed to have a wound on his body, and he didn't have a sword in his hand, so he could only use his bow to block high and low, and he didn't have much power to fight back.
That's Risa Dilan.
But now it looks a little miserable, and his right hand has probably been hit by a hammer, and it seems that he can't use his strength.
He also had a crossbow bolt pierced in his leg.
Plus his guts......
No wonder he couldn't run away, it seems that he couldn't run far last night, after all, he will definitely be affected by the Serpent's Heart Stone.
Looking at this scene now, it is estimated that Risardiran will soon become a captive of the Ebony Handguard Knights.
No, I have to rely on this guy to find out who is behind the scenes!
Gotta get him into his own hands......
Leon thought for a moment and drove his horse out.
"Knights...... Why are you attacking my slaves? ”
Several ebony knights looked at it in unison.
The two heavy crossbows were also aimed at Leon.
One of the knights, with a cloak on his armor, even dropped his hammer and drew his sword.
"Your slave? What do you mean? ”
The knight in the black cloak was probably the leader of this squad, and looked Li Ang up and down: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
"Leon Griffin, local lord. You shouldn't attack my property at will! If you don't want to be thrown into prison by me, let go of my slaves, and get out of here! ”
Li Ang took out the insignia of the nobles, and his face was arrogant, looking like a gentleman of a big aristocratic family.
"I haven't heard of a lord around here...... You're saying that the Noldor Genie is your slave? ”
The leader of the knights looked back at Risadilan, then at Leon and the long convoy behind him, and no longer pointed his sword at Leon.
Li Ang waved the Noldor long sword in his hand: "What? Are you suspicious of an aristocrat? Are you going to duel with me? ”
"Klose!"
"Hah!"
Several fierce men stepped forward with big swords and stood in a row behind Leang.
A dozen crossbowmen crouched behind them to aim.
After two battles together, these people have already cooperated very well.
"Don't, don't, don't ......," the knight put his sword back into its scabbard and stretched out his hands to signal that he didn't want to move, "I don't doubt you, my lord!" We are the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet, just maintaining the road nearby, and we stumbled upon this Noldor elf......"
Obviously, there are a lot of people on Leon's side, and it is difficult to say the result of the fight. And it is difficult to end the conflict with the noble lord, and this ebony knight does not intend to do it.
Leon raised the Noldor long sword in his hand and gestured, and continued to flicker: "You recognize the wrong person, he is my slave!" Give him back to me, and fuck off, I can assume it's a misunderstanding! ”
The Ebony Knight looked at the curved sword in Leon's hand, and then looked back at Risardran, as if he was hesitant.
"Lord Leon, help me!"
Risa Dilan was undoubtedly a smart fellow, and when he saw that Leon had built a staircase for him, he immediately screamed, and even cried a little, and his expression was quite sincere.
The Ebony Knight looked at Risadillan again, his eyes gradually falling to the elf's still clenched legs and buttocks, and then it dawned on him.
He sighed and waved his hand, motioning for his men to get out of the way.
The ebony knight grinned at Leon and admonished sincerely, "Noldor is not to be trusted, this lord...... I'm not against you having such a hobby...... But even if you pamper him, you shouldn't let him go free......"
Anson whispered to Sarah in the back, confused, "What hobby is he talking about?" I didn't understand a word......"
"Ahem...... Don't ask what you shouldn't! ”
Sarah pouted helplessly.
