At dusk, the battle was completely over.

The Dark Elves, who had lost their commander, were thrown into chaos. They were routed by the front and rear and fled backwards along the path. The Shadow Warriors pursued the fleeing enemies closely, knocking them down one by one from behind with their bows and arrows. Those captured civilians and soldiers were rescued in time. Outside the small city, the corpses of the fallen were lying everywhere on the battlefield where the two sides fought fiercely, most of them were dark elves, but there were also a few of them were martial elves. Seven of Valinor's Marines were killed and twice as many were wounded. The defenders of the town suffered even more casualties. But it was all worth it, and when they collected the corpses after the battle, they found at least one hundred and forty corpses of the dark elves.

Ashruphat embraced the Wind of Life, and he did not perform any magic, but only emitted the magical energy of the Wind of Life through his body. This is a technique he learned from the prophetess. Since this method can greatly improve the speed of human wound recovery, it must also be effective for elves. In fact, the effect is particularly pronounced in the case of minor injuries.

Naturally, he would make himself stand out by doing so, but it was a helpless move. Now, his unnatural size (relative to the elves) is no longer obscured. After the cloak was picked up by the dark elf, all the elves had seen him for who he really was, so he felt he had to do something to clear his doubts. As it turned out, it worked, and not a single elf came to him with those nasty questions for so long after the battle had ended. Although he noticed several elves whispering to him from a distance, including the shadow warrior called Swift Wind.

Of course, he didn't know what exactly "shadow warrior" meant, and could only guess that soldiers like Swiftwind were trained as scouts or spies. All Ashruphat can do now is to talk to the elves as little as possible, lest he make the mistake of saying too much and losing too much. He knows too little about the history, politics, and lore of the elves, and a little deeper conversation will reveal it.

Today's battle also gave him a glimpse of the power of the elves. Prior to this, although Cosbodi had introduced him to the side, it was far less intuitive than what he saw today. Whether it is an elf or a dark elf, the tenacity, bravery, and fighting skills displayed in today's battle are breathtaking. No wonder Cosbodi said that in the first place. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that such an elegant-looking and beautiful race can fight so resolutely, ruthlessly killing all the enemies in front of it.

"Master, you did a great job today. In her mind, Carrie said suddenly.

"Very well? I thought you would accuse me of being nosy. Ashruphat replied casually.

"No, no, no, today's event is a shortcut for us. Carrie explained. "Didn't you realize that this little city is a port city?"

There's nothing surprising about this. He had seen the situation here while he was still on the warship, and there was a simple little port on the edge of the headland—it was rare to say that such a city near the sea had no harbor.

"Master, you will definitely be grateful to the elves of the city for your hard work. If you can, you can try asking them for a boat and a few sailors. ”

"Ah......h

"Remember the Moonstrings, there were only a dozen sailors on it. However, it has a very good long-distance navigation ability and wind and wave resistance. You don't even need such a good boat, a little bit is enough to achieve our plan. ”

"But the port is empty. ”

"It means that their ship is not here. Didn't you notice that the city was walled with stones, which were not found in the nearby mountains, but could only be transported by boat. They must have a ship! just not for now. Carrie's analysis was very reasonable, and Ashrufat had nothing to say.

At this time, Ashruphat saw Valinor come out from the other side with his soldiers. Previously, they had been searching the nearby mountains so that no enemy was hiding somewhere. Judging by the appearance, the search paid off. Because another wounded man was sent to Ashrufat. The elves already knew that he was using magic to heal the wounded.

It must be said that the legends of the elves in the books of mankind are true, and the elves are very accustomed to magic, and no one is surprised that Eshurufat does this.

"We found six enemies. Valinor said, and then he sat down beside Ashrufat. "Looks like we're going to spend the night in a small town tonight. ”

Ashrufat nodded. This is a very reasonable request, since his soldiers are already exhausted from today's battle. And this small city is big enough to accommodate everyone.

"I didn't expect you to be a magician. Valinor looked at Ashrufat, the expression on his face that wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak. "Your armor...... This pattern...... What does that mean?"

This armor is naturally the bloody armor of Aerufat. The armor's original form was quite terrifying, but this armor can be transformed under Carrie's control. Ashrufar even used this armor to transform into a green-skinned orc, and lived for a long time under the name "Blood Banner Boss".

Now, this armor has morphed into a similar shape to Elven armor. Because there is no battle skirt, the armor on his body is actually incomplete, only a few parts such as breastplate, bracers, and shin guards. Each part is a deformation of Carrie's reference to the armor of the Elven Marines, which should be in line with the Elven aesthetic.

"My ......," Ashruphat was about to reply, "heraldic", but he didn't know if the Elves of the Dao also had this tradition, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"This pattern...... Does it represent your family?" asked Valinor.

"Hmm. Ashrufat could only respond casually.

"I've never seen this pattern. Valinor said. Ashruphat could only return the favor with a wry smile. At the same time, he yelled at Carrie in his head.

"I'm sorry, master, but I just don't think you look good on your breastplate. Carrie replied aggrievedly. "I thought that since the elves tamed dragons, they would definitely not pay special attention to dragon patterns. ”

"Do you belong to a lost family?" Valinor changed the subject abruptly. By the time he said this, the shadow warrior named Swift Wind had already arrived not far away—from this position, Swift Wind could clearly hear the conversation between Ashrufat and Valinor.

The question was tricky, as Eshuruphat knew almost nothing about the elves. If he confessed, he would probably get preferential treatment from the elves, but if Valinor asked for details, he wouldn't be in a bad position.

"Nope. Ashruphat hesitated for a moment, and then decided that it was better to deny it. He tried his best to get the topic off the hook, so he pretended to be joking. "Do I look like it?"

"The people in the city were talking about you just now. Valinor said. "Some say you're probably a prince. ”

Prince...... Ashrufat really didn't understand what he looked like a prince. He didn't know that in the habit of elves, simply introducing oneself was a very arrogant act. When two strange elves meet and introduce themselves, one of them usually introduces himself in this simple way only when he is very sure that he is far more noble than the other.

"Master, I guess it's because your performance in battle caught their attention. In her head, Carrie explained. "You didn't use your full strength, but you can't fight with both sword and magic, even ordinary elves can't do it. ”

"Elves have a very long lifespan...... It's entirely possible for them to learn both......"

"But being able doesn't mean being able to do it. Normally, they wouldn't have met a coach like me. Carrie said. "For example, it's like humans learning language. Learning language and writing is something that every human being can do, but most of the human beings in this world are illiterate. To learn both of these skills, you need to be able to do it with good conditions. ”

Carrie made a point, and Ashrupha took a moment to figure out how he was going to answer Valinor's question. At this moment, lacking common sense within the elves, he was really not suitable to disguise himself as a prince. Because any elf, as long as he asks him a few more questions, he can directly debunk his disguise. It will definitely not end then.

"No...... I'm not a prince. Ashrufat replied.

"It's a shame. Valinor said. "Just now the inhabitants of the city said that if you are a prince, they want you to stay and lead them. When he said this, he peeked at Ashrufat, but he couldn't see any change in the other party's expression, no regrets, no regrets, just very flat. It was as if the elf named Aeruphat had refused such a request many times. In fact, Ashrufat's performance so far has not only not relieved his doubts, but has deepened them.

"By the way, Ashrufat, tomorrow I'm going back to Iriber, would you like to come with me?" Valinor invited.

"Oh...... This one...... I think I should ...... Remain...... We should ......" Ashruphat actually wanted to stay and find a way to get a ship for himself. But in a hurry, he didn't think of any suitable excuse, so he said it hesitantly.

"Stay, yes......" Valinor smiled. "Ashrufat, you're right. We should stay. The threat of our evil cousins is still there, and we can't just take care of ourselves. At least not to leave until you have eliminated them. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so selfish. ”

He shouted into the distance. An elven soldier quickly came to listen to the order. Valinor told him to go to the beach and tell the crew who stayed on the ship to go back first, and to inform Ireber of what was happening in the area.

"Ashrufat, tomorrow I will accompany you to the operation, and first completely eliminate this group of enemies. It would be better to find out how exactly they got here. If they can come here, Iribo could be attacked at any time!"

Hearing Valinor's impassioned words, Ashruphat immediately understood that his performance had caused a misunderstanding.

"It's okay, master. Carrie said secretly in her mind. "Anyway, there are no ships in the port now, so it's good to use this time to deepen my impression. When the time comes, these elves will willingly give you a ship. ”
