Although the fire spread quickly, the fire was not as big as expected, but the smoke was so thick that not only the archers could not stand it, but even the thieves who had already climbed over the obstacles and were about to flee into the forest.

A few strong thieves who were not afraid of death covered their faces and forced their way through the smoke, and the choking smoke made people unable to open their eyes at all, and these thieves were shot down by sharp arrows flying from their backs as soon as they rushed out of the smoke.

The other thieves hid in the smoke and heard a few screams, and they didn't know how many ambushes there were on the other side, and they didn't dare to continue to break through. At this time, the thieves saw that there was an ambush in front of them and a chase after them, and they were already in a dilemma, so they all vented their anger to Sawin and Celia.

Saven and Celia tried to follow them back to back, and the sound of the brigade was getting closer and closer, and the thieves were red-eyed and a little desperate.

"Since you don't give you a way to live, we'll die with you!" the thieves roared, glaring at the two of them with blood-red eyes.

"Look for death!" Sawan shouted, and the sharp axe in his hand swept towards a group of thieves like an autumn wind sweeping leaves, only to see seven or eight thieves swept directly away and crashed into the others. "Ouch!" the thieves screamed and fell like dominoes.

On the other side, Celia no longer kept it, wielding the Wind Wolf Sword and constantly sending out wind blades, invisible wind blades like death scythes, constantly harvesting the lives of thieves. Although Celia's wind blade didn't look as imposing as Sawen's, its killing effect was even more powerful than Sawen's, and dozens of people had fallen in front of Seliya in a short time.

The thieves saw that the strength of the two sides was almost not a little bit, and no matter how much they played with their lives, they were no match for others, so some people simply retreated to the side, knowing that they would not be able to escape today, and they simply waited for surrender and might be able to hold on to their lives. More and more people are giving up, and only a dozen recalcitrant thieves are still dying.

At this time, the brigade of the conquest army finally arrived, the knights and mercenaries drove the thieves to one place with their weapons, and a few diehards were still planning to resist stubbornly, and they were immediately turned into a puddle of meat by the crowd of people in a moment of attack, and the other thieves saw this scene and lost their fighting spirit, and they put down their weapons and squatted on the ground, shouting busily in their mouths: "We surrender, don't kill us......"

A great battle finally came to an end, after counting, the expeditionary army suffered seventy or eighty dead and wounded, while the thieves suffered as many as two or three hundred dead and wounded, more than 400 surrendered, and the rest took advantage of the chaos to run into the mountains and forests.

Exewin and several leaders discussed and set up camp in the thieves' village to prepare for the next step into the mountains to attack the elven tribe.

After some deliberation, Exewin sent a team of men to continue the search for the fleeing thieves around, and another team to open the road between the mountains and Vic Town so that the follow-up supplies could be transported here, while the rest of the people were mainly to clean up what the thieves had left behind, in addition to preparing for the next stage of the battle.

As for what to do with the captured thieves, there was no unanimous conclusion, the leaders of the knights, Will and Prince, advocated that they be sent back for trial, and the mercenary group hoped to select strong men from among them to be incorporated into the mercenary group as a supplement to the casualties.

However, it was the thieves' belongings that were of great interest, such as Savan, who was not very interested in what to do with the prisoners and how to prepare for the next battle, but how much money the thieves looted.

After several days of searching and interrogation, the thieves' belongings were found one by one, and then they were gathered into dozens of chests, most of which were gold and silver coins, as well as some valuable utensils and jewelry, as well as a large number of fabrics and weapons.

Sawin walked around these dozens of large boxes with his hands behind his back, and his mouth made a snort: "I didn't expect this gang of thieves to be quite rich, no wonder they also established a village, a bit of a mountain king......

Seliya pouted behind Savan and said, "It's not all robbed, the money should be returned to the robbed......

Sawan opened a box and reached out for a handful, a box full of coins, most of them were gold coins, Sawen's eyes lit up, the dragon's love for treasure can't be changed even if he is old, let alone a young dragon like Sawen. However, Sahain's thoughts are different now, he used to just want to take the treasure into his own pocket, but now Sawan needs money to build his own guard.

When he came to land, Sahain realized how important money was, even a small mercenary group like the White Griffin Mercenary Group needed a large amount of money every year to be able to feed, no wonder Hortz would be busy taking on tasks all day long, let alone raising an army.

Savin was wondering when he would be able to make so much money, and so far he didn't have a stable income to buy, so it seemed that he had to work on this. Sawan hooked his finger at Celia, Sawin didn't know that this was a very frivolous action on the mainland, especially against a noble girl, only to see Selia's face flushed, and she walked in front of Saven with a very reluctant look.

Savin's mind was now thinking about how to make money, and he didn't notice Celia's twisted expression at all, so Sawan asked Seleya: "Seleya, do you know how to make money?"

Selia was stunned for a moment, her crimson face slowly returned to normal, and said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I don't know how to make money at all, and our family doesn't seem to have to make money, there will always be money sent automatically." ”

"How could the money come automatically?" asked Savan curiously.

"This ......" Celia said in her heart that she didn't understand such a simple question, how could she be an attendant for such a guy. Selia paused and replied, "Our family has a territory, and everyone in the territory has to pay taxes, and when the day comes, the tax collector will naturally send the tax money." ”

Sawin touched his chin and said, "It seems that if you want to make money, you have to have your own territory......"

"Lord, don't listen to her nonsense, how young can you get rich by collecting taxes?" said Narros out of nowhere.

"Hmph, what do you know as a wild girl!" Seria retorted with a grunt.

Sawan turned to Naros and asked, "Then how can you get rich quickly?"

Narros glared at Selia, and then said to Savan, "The easiest way to get rich is to get it yourself, I know that several great nobles have a lot of treasures in their homes......"

"Ahem......" At this time, Exsewin also came to inspect the seized money, and happened to hear the conversation of the three people, so he deliberately coughed a few times to interrupt the conversation of the three people. "Savan, don't listen to the two of them, it's not like they say you want to get rich. Exewin saw that what the two girls said was not right, so he corrected.

Seeing that Exewin had criticized him, the two women both showed hostile glances at the elves, and that Samhain was unaware of them, and he immediately asked, "Then how do you say you can make money, and it's fast?"

Exewin shook his head and said: "How can there be such an easy way to make money in this world, merchants are recognized as the most profitable profession on the mainland, but that also requires a lot of capital, and there must be familiar business routes, even then it takes years of accumulation to earn a lot of wealth, otherwise you can only gather wealth by plundering others like these thieves." ”

After listening to this, Sawin was a little excited when he saw that several people were not experts in making money, and it seemed that he would have to find someone who could help him make money in the future. Seeing that Savan was in a daze, Exewin persuaded: "Don't think about this yet, let's think about how to fight this battle now." ”

Sawin shrugged and said, "It's the first time I've fought with an elf, you're an elf yourself, you still have to make up your mind about these things, in short, I'll fight you how you say." ”

Exewin was just about to say more, when a man came running to report: "Lord Exewin, the Earl's letter has arrived, and the knights of Will and Prince have asked you to discuss the matter." ”

Seeing this, Exewin had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to her mouth, and she said to the three of Savan: "I have something to deal with, you ...... first Let's take a stroll first. With that, Exevin went with the messenger.

Sawin looked left and right, and at this time there were only three of them left in the room, so Sawin said to the two girls, "Quick, grab a few gold coins and put them in your pocket." ”

Narros smiled and walked over to the box and grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins and put them in her pocket, and Sawan went over to grab a few handfuls, but Seria remained standstill. Sawan hurriedly said: "Seliya is in a daze, hurry up and catch it!"

Selia's heart struggled fiercely, and finally she couldn't stand Sawin and Naros's urging, her face flushed, she bit her lip and walked to the box, grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins and put them in her pocket.

Seeing that the pockets of several people were stuffed with gold coins, Sawin waved his hand and said, "Withdraw!"

I wish you all a great weekend and continue to ask for recommendations and collections!
