Early the next morning, Sedren returned with the Noldos.

"Your Excellency Li Ang, your plan is very good, I think there should be no enemies around here."

Saidren's face was very good, and it seemed that most of the Gato people had not been able to escape.

"But I don't think you can rest, we should go to the weapons workshop you mentioned right now, and hopefully there's no trouble......"

Leon pointed to the east.

Sederen nodded: "Of course I'm fine, but don't you need to rest?" ”

"My troops had just slept in the morning, so I didn't clean up the corpses...... The wounded are in a valley five miles to the south, leave your soldiers here and let them clean up the battlefield and take care of the wounded, and you and I will go east and have a look—if you are not there, I will not dare to go near the settlements of your people......"

After the lord finished speaking, he began to reorganize his army, intending to set off immediately.

Of course, Leon won't be delayed here for long, he plans to meet with the upper echelons of the Fenway family.

But if he showed up near the Noldor settlement with his army, he would most likely be attacked, so he had to be introduced by Sedren.

Sixty miles to the east were deep mountains and old forests, and even with Sedren leading the way, the road still lasted a whole day.

By the time we arrived near the Fenway family settlement, it was already afternoon.

"It's coming soon, you wait here for a while, I'll go say hello, so as not to misunderstand."

Sederen told Leon to stop first, and then planned to go into the woods in front of him alone.

Of course, the Twilight Knight also knew that if the human forces approached, it would definitely cause misunderstanding, and of course he had to report it first.

But Leon looked up at the front, but frowned, and grabbed Sederen: "Wait! ”

Then, he found a place where the trees were relatively sparse and looked at the sky.

"Saidren, wait! The Noldors must have used stoves to make weapons......"

"Of course, you need to use a furnace to smelt metal, Lord Leon...... You mean ......"

Saidren followed and looked at the sky, and then turned his head with a solemn face.

"There is neither smoke nor birds in the sky...... Sedren! There's a situation here, and it's just happened! Everyone, get ready for battle! ”

Leon commanded the soldiers to gather and began to put on their equipment on the spot - the troops did not wear armor during the march, otherwise they would not have been able to move in such a deep mountain and old forest.

"What people! Come out! ”

At this moment, Sedren seemed to have noticed something, shouted into the woods, and then began to look left and right.

No one responded, but a few seconds later, with a "whoosh", a light and shadow in the forest on the side swept by, heading straight for Li Ang's back.

"Wow!"

Risa Dilan stood behind Leon with his shield in his hand, blocking the light and shadow.

An arrow is embedded in the shield surface.

"Over there!"

Risadillan stood still, the point of the arrow must have been where the shooter was hiding, and Saidren took the bow from his back and rushed into the dense forest in that direction with great speed.

Risadiran glanced at his shield, and instead of rushing forward, he took a few steps back with Leon.

Instead of a Noldor arrow, a wooden pole with patterned feathers was stuck in the shield.

"My lord, this is the Zingal arrow...... The feathers are made from ostrich feathers. ”

Risadillan whispered to the lord behind him.

"The Singars? How did they come here......"

Leon was quite surprised, Singal nominally belonged to the Duchy of Dexia, located in the desert southwest of the continent, separated from the Noldor Forest by most of the continent, and at least more than 2,000 miles.

"Probably the ...... of the Singar slave catchers"

Risadilan cautiously looked left and right, handed the shield to Leon, and removed the bow and arrow from his back.

Years ago, the elven killer 'debuted' in Singar, and his first business was to see a publicly posted murder contract in the largest tavern in Singar.

Yes, publicly posted murders are like bounties, but not to recover the guilty, but to put a clear price on human life.

At that time, Risardillan, who was in dire need of making a living, brought back one of the heads, and then he got his first income after entering human society at the tavern bar......

Risadilan still knows Singal well, so he behaves cautiously.

Anson also seemed to know better—his hometown of Eichkoman, who was now part of the Duchy of Descha, must have heard about the situation in Zingal, so his face was now full of nervousness.

Especially after listening to Risadiran talk about the 'Singal Slave Catcher'.

"Ah......h

A scream came from the direction of the dense forest where Sederen had entered.

Ten seconds later, Sederen dragged a man whose leg had been shot through to return to Leon's location.

"I only see this one person...... But there is only one person, why would he attack the army? ”

Sederen dragged the guy to Leon's side and slapped him to stop the man's screams.

It was indeed a Singar, who appeared to be a rider, but he never spoke, just lying on the ground and staring at Sederen with disgust.

"Give you a minute and say something useful."

Leon looked at the soldiers who were still wearing their equipment, and slapped the captive in the face with the blade of his sword.

The guy didn't react.

"My lord, I'll do this job......

An Dongjia lifted her Crow Realm longsword, scraped the blade with her fingers, and slashed at the tree next to her with her sword - it didn't even cut through the bark, and it seemed that the blade on the side was quite blunt.

Then she walked up to the Singar, and without speaking, she looked at him, and then stepped on the thigh of the captive's arrow, and with the blade of her sword began to cut the captive's calf.

'Ge...... Grid ......'

The scene of the blunt knife cutting the flesh was quite unbearable, and the captive finally spoke: "Don't ...... Don't do this! Give me a good time! ”

An Dongjia was still expressionless, and didn't say a word, just seriously, constantly cutting his calves.

The leather leggings had been cut, a blood groove had been cut out of the calf, and the flesh of the blood lake was rubbing against the blade of the sword, making a 'gegege' sound.

"I'm a subordinate of Lord Fruze! I was hired here to catch the Noldor Elves, but I was separated from the army......"

Without asking anything, the guy began to explain himself......

It seems that the torture method of Misty Mountain is very good.

【Riding and Slashing Battle】 【】

"How many people are in your army? Where did you enter the forest from? ”

Leon began to ask.

"Fifteen hundred men, we came in from the south side of Mount Dengier, from a castle that had been burned down...... Oh, Shieldwind Fortress! It used to be a shield wind fortress! ”

It seems that this is the after-effect of burning down the Shield Wind Fortress, and such a large force passing south of the Dengier Mountains has not been discovered by any force.

"Deceived Kangxi"

"Where is your army?"

Sederen asked.

"Heading back south, we got it the day before yesterday...... I was strayed and when I heard the Noldor's voice, I thought I had been found and shot an arrow......"

"What? Got it? ”

Leon and Sederen were shocked.

If it had been the day before yesterday, it would have been a day before the time when the horse farm had met the Gatu and the Misty Mountain people, and this should have been the time when Yin Silandil was marching this way.

After the attack, they returned to the south, and probably met Yin Silandier's army halfway, so Yin Silandil was dragged by this army of 1,500 men and could not come here.

"When we arrived, the Noldor here looked like they were about to move, so we hid in the woods and ambushed them, and they were barely defenseless...... So it was easy for us to defeat them, and we captured more than twenty of them, including three maiden rangers...... That's all I know, please, give me a good time! ”

The Singar man's calf bone had already begun to sharpen the blade of the sword, and there was a 'sneer' grinding sound, and An Dongjia's hand never stopped.

So the man of Singar spoke so fast that he was now trembling all over his body, and he was only begging for death.

"Okay Andongjia, stop, take him to the ......"

Seeing that the brothers had already been assembled, he hurried to the weapons workshop with his troops.

Soon after, the Lord arrived at the Fenway family settlement.

Many treehouses were built on some of the outermost trees, but all of them were empty.

Further inside, there is a place that is more spacious than the horse farm, a large flat land surrounded by dense forests.

Several large workshops were built in the center, and not a single tree was left within two hundred meters of the workshop.

A group of people split up to inspect all the houses and inside and outside the workshop, but in the end they found nothing - all the people and weapons were gone, and only a dozen corpses were left on the scene.

"How many people should have been here?"

Leon asked Sederen with a frown.

"There are at least a hundred people, and they are probably the same as I am at the horse farm, and they are also preparing to transfer supplies to the city...... Presumably, as you said, the enemy is hiding nearby, and when the fighters are all starting to deliver supplies, they suddenly attack......"

Sederen muttered, "I need to find the enemy!" ”

But now no one knows where the enemy is, and the forest is so big that even a large army of thousands of people is difficult to find in this forest.

And since the captive will be separated from the large army, it is natural that his accomplices will not be found either.

Besides, Sedren hadn't slept for two days, and Leon's troops had already walked all day, so they could only rest here for a while.

【Riding and Slashing Battle】 【】

Half a day later......

'Woo...... Woo......'

A strange flute sounded.

"Our troops are coming!"

Sedren was sleeping, and when he heard the sound of the flute, he immediately turned over, found a Noldor arrow without an arrow in his quiver, raised the bow in his hand and shot it into the sky.

It was a rattling arrow, or whistle arrow, that also flew into the sky with a 'woo-woo' flute.

It seems that this is how the Noldor troops send a signal, and they should be signaling the direction of their own people.

Soon, a Noldor troop arrived.

When Sederen saw the leader, he immediately lowered his head, put his hand on his chest and saluted: "Your Majesty! ”

"Sedren, why are you here? What's going on with these humans......"

The leader was a middle-aged and elderly Noldor wearing a crown in the shape of a garland of branches and leaves, which was apparently the Elven King of the Fenway family, Fergus Ann.

In fact, it is difficult for the Noldor elves to be old, as they live so long that they always look young.

As far as the life expectancy of Enodo is concerned, if it looks like a middle-aged and elderly person, then I am afraid it is really an advanced age.

"Your Majesty, this is His Excellency Leon of White Deer Castle, and he helped me kill more than five hundred enemies. This is our King, Your Excellency Leon. ”

Seidren began to introduce.

In fact, the lord can't be called 'Leon of White Deer Castle' yet, because his fiefdom is still only Mai Xiangling.

But Leon didn't correct this statement, all his thoughts were on the Elf King.

This was his main purpose in the Noldor Forest - he wanted the support of the elves.

"Leon ......"

Feergus Aner looked at the lord, as if he remembered something, but he didn't show it, just nodded kindly: "Thank you for your help, little friend, I hope my family will have the opportunity to repay you in the future...... But now, Sedren, we need to get our people back! ”

It seems that a lot of Noldor escaped two days ago, and immediately went to the elves' castle to report the situation - this is the right choice, whether it is for the sake of life or the safety of other clansmen, you can only run to the place where the elf king is.

If they had fled to the racecourse, they would have led the enemy to the racecourse as well.

"Your Majesty, you actually want to personally lead the army to pursue the enemy?"

Sederen looked surprised.

"No, Your Majesty is just here to rebuild the workshop...... I would be in charge of leading the pursuit, and the children who were captured were my students. ”

A female ranger stepped forward, looked at Leon indifferently, turned to Sederen and said, "You shouldn't trust human ......"

This is a mature woman with a beautiful face, but for some reason, Leon always felt that she should be described by the word 'tough'.

And Risa Dilan shrank her head when she saw the female ranger, and seemed quite afraid of her.

Sederen shook his head: "Vendatier, Your Excellency Leon has proven his kindness, you can't be so rude to your friends. ”

"Friends?"

Vendatier smiled contemptuously and walked directly in front of Leon: "Okay friend, what are you coming to the Noldor Forest for?" ”

This chapter is not finished, click [Next] to continue reading-->>

【Riding and Slashing Battle】 【】

"Just to find yourself a reliable ally......"

Lord Lord shook his head: "However, looking at the way you are now, it seems that you are not qualified to be my ally!" I had thought that an ancient nation like Noldor meant great wisdom, but that wasn't what I'd seen along the way...... It's more like a group of incompetent people who will only turn their heads to bully weak civilians after being bullied. ”

Of course, the lord said this on purpose, and this was his usual way, to arouse the other party's interest in the conversation first—it was better to be dissatisfied or angry.

Leon's words sounded like a provocation, and Vendatier was clearly enraged, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he was about to draw his sword.

But Fergusaner walked over and gave Leon a deep look: "A human said that a few decades ago...... Tell me, child, why do you think Noldor has lost his wisdom......"

"Thousands of years ago, your civilization was 10,000 times better than that of humans, but you never thought of using knowledge and culture to capture the hearts of humans and make them one of you, but instead treated humans as wild animals...... Up to now, humanity has created a civilization that is not inferior to yours, but you are still ......."

"You have countless advantages, you are powerful, long-lived, and have advanced technological heritage. In fact, in the beginning, it was only necessary to bow your noble heads, but only to see human beings as equal intelligent beings, and you could not only live in peace with them, but even make human beings worship you......"

"Three hundred years ago, after you defeated the human army that invaded the forest, you already had the greatest deterrent, but instead of using this deterrent reasonably, you killed all the people around the forest who originally wanted to be friendly with you - lost the trade route, lost the communication channel with the humans, and since then you have personally destroyed your hope of re-emergence!"

Leon shook his head and smiled, but he didn't finish his words: "The long life span combined with the fate of being a slave of the Sindari elves has made you lose your creativity, and you don't have the ability to learn quickly. You must have not made any new inventions in the past thousand years, right? Probably lost a lot of the original ancient heritage, right? ”

"But now, you have turned all your strengths into weaknesses, and it is your own arrogance that has made humanity's affection for you a reason to capture you, but you regard it as hatred - you should hate yourself, with your lifespan, you should have participated in the war three hundred years ago, right? At that time, if you have a little brain, you should negotiate with the human race, agree on a place where the two races can live together, and ask your people to treat and live in harmony with the human race......"

"Now you're just an armed tribe that has no creativity, no ability to learn quickly, and doesn't even have any prospects for development.......

"To say that you are an armed tribe is a bit of a contempt for you - you don't even have a goal, you just know how to wait, wait and see, or kill civilians in retaliation after being invaded......"

【Riding and Slashing Battle】 【】

Li Ang finally ended his complaining and spread his hands: "I don't understand, what is the meaning of your life like this?" Is this kind of life called wisdom? ”

"Your Excellency Leon......"

Saidren didn't expect Leon to say this in front of the Elven King of the Fenway family, and he couldn't accept it.

And Vendatier, who originally had no good feelings for humans, frowned and began to think.

But Fergusaner smiled: "You're right, kid, but you don't understand that the more historic a group is, the harder it is to be changed...... I know you're right, but it's hard to change people's mindsets......"

"It's not difficult, it's just a matter of sacrifice – unfortunately, you don't have the courage to do so."

Leon shook his head again, he was ready to brainwash the Elven King.

Fergus was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Maybe you're right, but we can't afford to sacrifice ......"

"I'm not talking about a sacrifice...... a dead man"

Leon grinned, "I mean, you should let some of your people try to blend in with the humans who have good intentions for you. Sacrifice your haughty character, your so-called traditions, and the so-called pure blood of the Sindari elves. The inheritance of civilization does not rely on servility and blood, but to connect the interests of humans and the elven race, so that humans will not only protect the Noldor elves, but also naturally help you pass on the elven civilization. ”
