207. Chase
It was probably the darkest day of Christine's life, and she was walking by the beach when she was kidnapped by a group of human prisoners......
She was dragged into the woods, and Christine tried to cry out for help, but was slapped twice by the bearded prisoner, and she couldn't scream anything.
She was dragged under a tree by the prisoners, and Christine, who had fallen into complete despair, made a final struggle.
And the prisoner's trousers had dropped to his knees, and suddenly a dull sound was heard, and his head tilted, as if he had lost all his strength, and fell on Miss Christine......
Christine screamed, only to find that the prisoner had not moved further.
Not only that, but thick blood was constantly gushing out of the prisoner's mouth and nose.
Probably because Miss Christine screamed incessantly, and there was a burst of laughter in the glade where the campfire was lit.
Sabrina glanced back at Roy, and with her heavy sword in one hand, she removed the prisoner who had been knocked unconscious by the hammer of punishment.
Miss Christine saw Sabrina in leather armor standing in front of her, and quickly covered her mouth.
Roy walked briskly, this time he didn't give the elven boy a chance to speak, he had seen the ferocity of the slave traders in Malaga, he pulled the dagger from his waist and wiped it on the prisoner's throat, blood splattered out......
Jeff, the main sailor, was wiped by Roy's neck like this, and when he was dying, he didn't even see Roy's face.
Sabrina used a dagger to cut the ropes of Christine's hands and feet.
Naturally, the three of them did not rush to the glade and fight with the other prisoners.
Sabrina helped Christine tidy up her messy dress, pulled her into the woods......
Roy and the elven boy also worked together to drag Jeff's body into the bushes where they had just hidden, and planted a few thorn seeds along the way, so that they wanted to take Christine to a safe place and then go to the town of Partington for help.
Miss Christine also knew that a few people were no match for those prisoners, and she did not make a fool of asking the three to rescue Giroud.
She tried her best to follow the three of them, hiding in a bush again.
Roy saw that Christine could run with everyone in the jungle, apparently unharmed......
"Sabrina, you and Miss Christine return to town as soon as possible, and ask the town guard to come here to help, just say that there is a group of prisoners smuggled over from Pallam Island. We're keeping an eye on the prisoners here, and we'll see if there's any chance of getting Gigiroud out as well. Roy said to Sabrina.
Sabrina looked at Christine's dress being torn and had multiple abrasions all over her body, and she didn't argue with Roy:
"Okay, you two be careful."
She also glanced at the elven boy by the way.
The elf boy looked confident, patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of him."
Sabrina gave Christine a tug, and then led her along the way she had come, towards the outside of the forest.
……
In the dense forest, the prisoners gathered around the campfire found that the elven girl was only struggling and screaming for a while, and then she was silent.
At first, everyone didn't think it was anything, but this period of silence was a bit long......
"What's going on, what the hell is going on with Jeff, ...... been there for so long"
Some prisoners are already starting to get worried......
One of Jeff's men stood up and said:
"I'll take a look."
Another companion immediately followed him and stood up at the same time, saying, "Let's go together." ”
As he spoke, the jungle in the distance fell even more silent.
Benjamin also stood up with some apprehension at this time, and threw a dagger at the seaman, and said:
"Take this ......"
The seaman caught the dagger, and by the way, he cut off a branch beside him, and by the way, he cut off the branch on it, and it became a wooden spear.
The two seafarers approached one after the other in the direction in which Jeff had disappeared.
In the glade, Benjamin and Abt, who were gathering together to study the charts, looked at each other, and both realized that something was wrong, this was an elven island after all, and it would not be strange for an elf to emerge from nowhere.
They waited in the glade for a while, hungry, and the two seamen who had gone out to find Jeff, the master sailor, were also unheard......
And the fact that the companions who went to the reef area by the sea in search of food have not returned for a long time, all of which indicates that the surroundings are full of dangers.
Maybe there is already an elven army sneaking up on you.
Benjamin stood up abruptly and said to everyone:
"We've got to shift ......"
The seafarers also knew that things were not going well, and having lost Jeff, they naturally followed Benjamin's orders.
It's just that Benjamin sighed silently in his heart, and said decisively: "Let's go separately, go to the dock to meet, everyone work together to grab a boat, and then leave here." ”
"Abt and I will take this oil bottle to the back, and if anyone is caught by the elven guards, we can use him as a hostage and exchange you back."
Benjamin pointed to Gigilul, who was tied under a tree, and said to the seafarers.
At this time, where could this group of seafarers manage so much, they immediately turned into the dense forest in twos and threes, and broke through separately.
It didn't take long to leave Benjamin and Abt in the glade.
"They've almost lured the elven guards, let's run over there......"
Benjamin pointed to the opposite path and said to Abt.
……
Roy and the elven boy hid in a tree, silently staring at the prisoner running under the tree, and neither of them moved.
The two of them were ready to keep an eye on the prisoner who was controlling Gigilul, and with the crow as an eye, they knew that Gigilu was still in place.
Just now, the elf boy successfully tied up two prisoners with thorn seeds, and Roy wanted to get rid of both prisoners, but was stopped by the elf boy.
"Roy, this is against nature, we need to respect all life."
The elven boy took Roy's arm and said to Roy.
"But once they get out of trouble, it will threaten our safety."
Roy looked at the prisoner tied to the thorn vine and said to the elven boy.
"My thorn seeds are not so easy to break free, don't worry!" The elven boy made a promise to Roy: "Go, follow me ......"
With the help of Flower Vine, the elven boy hangs the two prisoners from a tree.
Later, the elven boy also pulled Roy to the tree, and the two of them squatted on the side of a large tree.
The elven boy continued to share his vision with the two crows.
When sharing vision, the elf boy's eyes are black holes, and his perception of the surroundings is reduced to a minimum, and only by hiding in a secret place and having someone around him to protect him can he perform such a secret skill.
The druid boy intermittently recounted the situation over there:
“…… They seem to have realized that something is wrong...... They actually put out all the bonfires...... They are ready to flee separately, what are we going to do? ”
The elven boy opened his eyes abruptly and asked Roy anxiously.
"Ignore the others, we're just staring at the few people who took Gigirou!" Roy said hurriedly.
"Okay."
The two of them had discussed and waited in the tree, until the elven boy pulled Roy and whispered to him:
"Your companions were taken deep into the forest by those prisoners, and they seemed to be going up the mountain......"
After saying that, he jumped down from the tree, Roy didn't have such good skills as him, so he could only carefully slide down the tree.
He wears thick leather armor and doesn't worry about grinding the rough bark.
The elven boy led the way, Roy could barely follow from behind, and the two black crows also flew rapidly through the forest.
At night, the dense forests of the outer islands of Partington are not easy to walk, and there are thorny bushes everywhere......
……
The first prisoners to rush out did not meet the elven guards, and they ran out of the dense forest according to Benjamin's orders, and rushed directly to the island docks.
However, there was still a large amount of cargo from the Partington plane piled up on the docks of the island, and almost a third of the town's guards were on the docks.
The sudden appearance of the prisoners also startled the elven guards, who at first thought that a mob was planning to loot the supplies on the docks, only to find that the humans were almost unarmed and not wearing armor.
The elven guards immediately chose to stand together with their shields in their hands, and put their swords on top of them.
As long as this group of thugs dares to rush over, they will be given the heaviest blow.
The prisoners didn't dare to attack the elven guards, especially since there were still so many guards on the docks......
It didn't even form a powerful impact, and a group of prisoners quickly broke up on the beach.
The elven guards didn't chase either, but just guarded the cargo on the docks and flared in the direction of the town.
……
Roy followed the elven boy in the jungle for a long time, and he even blessed himself with a 'blessing of strength'.
Along the way, the elf boy was also so tired that he was panting......
The darkness in the dense forest made Roy unable to see who was in front of him, but he could already hear the footsteps of the two of them fleeing in a hurry.
Probably because the two in front of them couldn't run, they chose to stop at a place with their backs to the rock.
The elven boy also stopped.
Signaling to Roy that the two men were in front of him, and whispering to Roy:
"There are only two people on the other side, one of them should be a magician, I see that he has just cast a magic ......"
After speaking, he was about to walk out directly, but was pulled by Roy.
"Don't go out, in the dark...... Better for us! Roy said.
……
Benjamin and Abt almost tried their best to escape along the way, but unfortunately they also had to drag a Gigiroud with his hands trapped, so they didn't run far before they knew that an elf was catching up after them.
They had no choice but to stop under a cliff, and Abt put a dagger across Gigirou's neck and shouted at the darkness of the forest behind him:
"I don't care which of you is following us, if you do, I'll send him to the Fountain of Life at once!"
……
A familiar voice reached Roy's ears, and Roy's heart skipped a beat.
"Abt, is that you?"
Roy asked, standing in the bushes.
So saying, he walked out of the dense forest alone.
When the distance between the two sides was closer, Roy finally saw clearly that the elf on the other side who was persecuting Gigiru with a dagger was Abt.
"Roy, why are you here? …… You've been looking for me? ”
Abt asked in a dry voice.
His hands even trembled a little, and the shaky dagger was attached to Gigiru's neck, and blood suddenly flowed out.
"I just happened to be passing by, I didn't expect us to meet again!"
Roy pressed the round shield on his arm to his chest, holding the sacred scepter in his hand, and approached Abt step by step:
"Abt, be caught, I won't let you go this time anyway......"
Roy walked slowly, as he was still paying attention to the magician who had hidden his face in his hood.
The last time I was attacked, I was injured by a fireball......
Gigilul's eyes widened, his mouth was strangled by a rope and he couldn't make a sound, and when he saw that Roy didn't care about his safety, he protested 'woo-woo'.
