Where did the slave catchers of Singar go after capturing the Noldor Elves?

Return to Singar, of course......

Singar is home to the largest slave market on the continent.

According to the captive's account, the weapons workshop was robbed by a slave hunter led by a guy named 'Fruze', and it was done for a large bounty.

Then Fruz's slave catchers naturally have to return to Singar, after all, the delivery can only be settled.

The slave catchers of Fruze came from near the Shield Wind Fortress, and most of them would go back from there, and this was indeed the most suitable path for the slave catchers - to the south of the Dengier Mountains was the buffer zone between the Lion Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire, and there were no people for hundreds of miles, so the army would not encounter any trouble passing through.

Fruze's slave catchers were outnumbered, and it was unlikely that either the Lion Kingdom or the Bacchus Empire would allow such a large force to enter the territory at will, so the lord thought that they would definitely have to return from the buffer zone between the two countries.

"Since Yin Slimlandil didn't make it here, it means that the enemy met Yin Slimlandil's troops on the way back, and if we hurry up, we might be able to meet them halfway."

The lord plans to rush to the southwest immediately, and if he is lucky, he may be able to intercept the enemy halfway.

"In that case, let's do it! Your Majesty, I do want to see if this Lord Leon is as he himself said......"

Vendatier agreed to Leon's suggestion.

Judging by the way she looks, it doesn't seem that she needs to ask the Elven King's permission for what she wants to do.

"Risa Dilan, your teacher has a very high status......"

"Master Vendatier is the teacher of most young Noldos. Her teachings have given the Noldor Maidens a powerful force - the girl rangers she has taught are more powerful than the male rangers. Therefore, in the past two hundred years, girls have also become an important armed force of Noldor. She has a very high status in the hearts of the rangers, and is not bound by any race. ”

Risadillan whispered beside the lord.

"But she looks so young, how old is she?"

Leon didn't expect Risa Dilan to use the word 'master', which didn't look like he was talking about a beautiful woman.

"Your Excellency Leon! We should go now. ”

Vendatil glared at Risadilan, "I can hear you talking about my age, it's rude, young man!" ”

She glared at Risadilan, but it was clear that she was talking about Leon.

The elves' ears are really good......

Risa Dilan shrank her head and didn't dare to say anything.

But Leon saw that Risardylan secretly gestured to himself, stretched out three fingers, and then withdrew another one.

- It certainly doesn't mean thirty-two, it seems to mean three hundred and two.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm just thinking about how to call you. But I hope you understand that if you leave the forest and go to the human world, you will have to listen to me. ”

It was indeed rude to ask about the woman's age and be heard, and the lord bowed his head and sincerely apologized, but still made his own request.

"If you could show me your commanding abilities, I would listen...... I know I don't know much about humans and how to fight on the plains, so I'll certainly respect your opinion outside the forest—but I haven't left the forest yet, Lord Leon. And don't forget, I could take your life at any time. ”

Vendatier turned and returned to her troops.

Seeing that Leon had been looking at Vendatier, Risa Dilan said: "My lord, Vendatil is a true master, her martial arts are far superior to that of Twilight Knight, more than two hundred years ago, she alone researched the combat skills suitable for elven girls, which made the girl ranger an elite in the army...... She is also a master of character, and she will definitely fulfill her promises, so you don't have to worry. ”

It seems that three hundred years ago, when Vendatil herself was a simple girl, she probably witnessed the girls of her clan being captured by humans - so she trained herself into a powerful female ranger, and taught the Noldor girls martial arts, so that the girls could have the ability to protect themselves.

It is estimated that the martial arts she has figured out are more suitable for girls, so the strength of the girl rangers is higher than that of the male rangers - of course, it may also be because the girl rangers know better what will happen to them when they are caught by humans, so they will be more desperate.

But listening to what Risadiran meant, Vendatil has single-handedly improved the combat effectiveness of the entire race, which is indeed worthy of respect.

In fact, the troops that Vendatier is carrying at the moment also seem to be quite strong - two hundred Noldor rangers, half male and half female, all of whom look like young Noldor, presumably all of them are her students.

But the spirit of this student army is indeed very unusual, giving people a sharp feeling.

However, the girl rangers in her team did not ride horses, presumably because none of the students had yet graduated.

In order to improve efficiency, Li Ang did not return to White Deer Fort, but let Risa Dilan lead the way, and walked a straight line to the southwest, heading straight for the Shield Wind Fortress, which had been burned down.

The lord's judgment was correct, the next day, when they rushed to the large camp where three thousand mercenaries had been killed by Yin Silandil, they did meet Yin Sillandil.

There are also dozens of human corpses in the camp, dressed as Singars.

There are also a few who are alive and appear to be being interrogated.

"Risa Dilan, is this His Excellency Leon? …… Hey, Vendatil! ”

When Yin Silandil saw Leon's troops, he originally planned to greet him, but after seeing Vendatil, he took the initiative to meet him first.

"Yin Si Landier, where are your troops? Have you encountered an enemy before? ”

Vendatil stepped forward and faced Yin Silandil without honorifics at all, and the two were probably very familiar.

"Yes, I met a human army not far to the northeast before, due to the large number of enemies, a large number of enchanted weapons, and a lot of hostages of the Fenway family. I had to confront them for two days. But last night I found out that they were going to take some of the hostages, so I had to launch a strong attack, and as a result, they just scattered and fled in all directions, so I had to let the troops scatter and pursue......"

Yin Silandil pointed to the corpses in the camp and quickly explained the military situation.

This highness would take the initiative to tell the details, it seems that his respect for Vendatier is obvious, and Leon feels that Yin Silandil also seems to be a little afraid of Vendatier.

"Where are our captives?"

Vendatil's primary concern was clearly the captive people.

"I've probably only rescued half of them, and the hostages they stayed behind to divert my attention were all men...... But I saw a few young girls in the hands of the enemy before, and those girls may have been taken by them, but I don't know which direction they took - I was cross-examining, and I took a few prisoners......"

Yin Si Landil looked a little nervous.

Soon, Leon understood why Lisa Dilan was so afraid of him as a teacher, and he also understood what Yin Silandil was nervous about......

Vendatier grabbed a captive - she grabbed the captive by the neck with one hand and lifted him up to a large tree: "Where has your main force gone?" ”

The hapless captive kicked twice with his feet in the air, and his throat "hmmed" a few times, but he could not say anything.

Vendatil then let go of his hand and took a half-step back, struck the hapless captive in the lower part of the body with a lightning kick as he fell against the trunk......

"Peng!"

The force of this kick was extremely terrifying, and the tree, which was more than a meter in diameter, began to shake violently, and the sound of the bark cracking was deafening.

The captive fell limply down the tree to the ground, surely hopeless—there was probably only a thin layer of skin left between his legs, which was still attached to the tree when the man fell, and was finally torn off by the weight of his body......

The bark of the big tree was torn apart by the violent force, and the white trunk left a radial footprint full of blood, which was at least half an inch deep into the trunk!

Li Ang swallowed and was dumbfounded—this kind of strength is terrifying! His own previous words seem to have come true, he may really not be able to do more than three moves under the hands of others!

Yin Si Landil and Risa Dilan also swallowed at the same time.

No wonder Vendatil is not bound by any ethnic group...... This kind of terrible strength has to be restrained by someone!

The other two Singar captives were already completely scared to pee, really pee.

"They're heading south!"

"Gone to Shieldwind Fortress......"

Seeing that Vendatil turned his head and stared at them viciously, the two captives learned to answer.

This answer was in line with Leon's judgment, and Vendatil immediately set out south with his troops.

"Vendatier! You leave the forest with so many young people, you could easily be a target for humanity......"

Yin Si Landil intends to block it.

"Your Highness Yin Silandil, wouldn't it be better if the enemy has a goal......"

Li Ang smiled at Yin Si Landier.

As a result, the first face-to-face communication between Leon and Yin Silandil became a tactical communication.

……

At night, near the Shield Wind Fortress.

Today, the Shield Wind Fortress is in ruins, and all that remains is a black stone wall, and the ground is burned black.

But now, a large army of more than a thousand people is still stationed in this ruin.

It was indeed Fruze's slave catcher, but it didn't seem to see a single horse.

Risadilan had been here before, and was quite familiar with the surrounding environment, and moved quite quickly with his troops in front.

After arriving near the Shield Wind Fortress, Risa Dilan, Leon and Vendatil personally acted as scouts to investigate.

Yin Randuil led the troops and hid in a small forest.

The black ruins actually couldn't hide people, and the three of them quickly saw the troops in the ruins.

"What kind of person is that Fruze?"

Hiding behind a tree with Risa Dilan, Leon asked about the enemy.

He was a little skeptical about why the enemy was stationed here - it was too conspicuous, and the enemy had already captured several elven girls, so it was reasonable that they shouldn't stay.

This is not normal.

"That's a villain who specializes in slave hunting in Singar, and it's quite powerful......"

Risadilan knew about Fruz's slave hunting group, which was the largest slave hunting gang in Singal and a large underworld organization.

Fruz has a big business and a lot of fame - it's just that this guy has a rather bad reputation, and he is called "Cheeky Fruz".

The main reason for this nickname is that his slave hunting group did not just rely on war to capture captives as slaves.

It is true that the slave hunters themselves are a mercenary army, but they also rob the civilians of villages and towns, and they also go around kidnapping children, abducting women, and worst of all, they do not spare even the villagers of their own country.

There are even many witches in this gang who specialize in seducing nobles - both men and women, as long as they are young, strong, or good-looking.

They would form tricks, mostly by means of fairy jumping and gambling games, to force young noble men and women to sell themselves into slavery - noble girls were quite expensive in the slave market, and those sturdy aristocratic young men were also worth a lot of money.

When people become commodities, some people can do anything in order to get 'goods'.

But Fruze always claimed that the way he got the slaves was "prisoners of war on the battlefield" - this act of doing and not admitting it was of course quite brazen.

After all, most of the 'slaves' he captured did not fit the definition of a slave anywhere.

Citizens of the country usually do not become slaves unless they are deprived of their citizenship for a felony, or if they 'voluntarily' sign a deed of sale in a life-and-death gamble.

Most of the time, slaves were from criminals or fighters from hostile nations.

However, Fruze did not spare even the civilians of his Duchy of Dexia, and countless civilians were lured into slavery by his gang, and there were many young nobles......

It stands to reason that such an organization would be shouted at in most places, but not in Singar, where Fruze's slave catchers were the largest suppliers to the slave market in Singar.

Add to that the fact that he has always brazenly insisted that he was a prisoner of war acquired on the battlefield...... The slave traders of Singal did not have a hard time with the dinar.

This was because Fruze had always only captured slaves and 'wholesaled' them to slave traders, but never got involved in the slave market.

Yes, this is a 'supporting production enterprise' specializing in the acquisition of slaves, not a 'trading company' for the slave trade.

The slave industry in Singar was clearly divided between the upper and lower reaches, and Fruz, although he was a big business, never crossed the line.

If there is no competition, the business cooperation is tantamount to a hardcore ally, and the slave traders in Singal will of course work together to keep the largest supplier.

"In this way, this guy is not only brazen, but also knows how to advance and retreat, and he has a lot of liars under him......"

Leon frowned.

This kind of enemy is the most difficult to deal with, and it is certainly not going to make any low-level mistakes.

This means that this army is stationed here, and it is certainly not because they are tired from the journey and need to rest for the night - the Shield Wind Fortress is already in ruins, and it cannot shelter from the wind and rain, but it is easy to be discovered by the Noldors.

If you really want to rest, you should go to the no-man's land further west.

"Lady Vendatier, what do you think should be done now?"

Lord Lord, turning his head, asked.

Vendatil looked at the camp hundreds of meters away, his eyes full of disgust: "Raid at night!" We've got what it takes to take them down! ”

"I guess that's what the enemy thinks...... So, do as you say! ”

Leon pursed his lips and retreated into the troops.

Half an hour later, Vendatier did launch a direct surprise attack with her student army. The two hundred young Noldos, all of whom were elite marksmen, stood in an array more than a hundred meters apart and began to cover the rain of arrows.

The Singars in the camp soon poured out in all directions, looking like they were scattering in all directions.

They didn't sleep, and they reacted surprisingly fast, dropping things and running away.

There are not many Singar people who were hit by the arrow, and they began to run with their shields raised from a distance of more than a hundred meters, and of course they were not easy to be shot to death.

And they seem to have left a lot of things in the camp, as if there were still a few elves......

Vendatil immediately entered the Singar camp single-handedly, and galloped towards the bound 'Noldor Maidens'.

But when she ran to a dozen meters, she suddenly stood still, threw down her bow, took off her sword and shield, and made a defensive stance.

"You're not ......"

"Peng!"

At this moment, in the camp, more than a dozen people suddenly burst out of the ashes of the ground, and those 'Noldor maidens' also appeared with sabers in their hands, and surrounded Vendatil together.

Of course, the 'Noldor Maidens' weren't real, they were just a few human women who had long ears disguised as wax, grease and powder on their faces, and dressed in green or naked, dressed as Noldor elves, and posed as 'slaves'.

It was the Singar witch in the slave hunting group.

It is estimated that they saw that Vendatil did not get too close and knew that they had been discovered, so they directly launched an ambush.

Presumably, they usually use similar methods to deceive other nobles......

This is very similar to the stumbling women in the Lion City Tavern - it is said that in order to sell for a high price, the stumbling women of the Lion City will use white wax to disguise their ears as Noldor elves in various secret taverns, and then use a lot of fat powder to make themselves look snow-white, and then use spices to cover up the stench of abscesses on their bodies, and then hang around the drunkards who are so drunk that they can't even see their eyes......

Vendatil must have never seen these indiscriminate methods, and as a result, more than twenty demon women surrounded her.

At the same time, the Singars, who were fleeing on the periphery, all seemed to have turned around and lined up.

They picked up their shields and bows and arrows, and gradually formed an encirclement—the seemingly chaotic escape they had just now had gradually formed an encirclement of the Noldor rangers as they progressed deeper and deeper.

"Are you sure she's okay?"

Seeing Wendatil face more than twenty enemies alone, and then looking at Yin Silandil's calm and relaxed appearance, Li Ang was a little uneasy.

Yin Si Landil shook his head: "No matter how much it doubles, it won't hurt her...... Isn't Risa Dilan already on the side? ”

Risadilan was indeed staring, and there were two Twilight Knights with bows and arrows beside him, on the same tree where he had shot the letter into the castle.

It's all about avoiding accidents, but Risa Dilan doesn't seem to need help......
