Chapter 405 The Tragic Slave Catching Squad

The timing of Roger's order to attack was just right. As soon as the crossbowmen had fired three rounds of arrows, the half-armored swordsmen rushed towards the slave catchers. 【】At this time, some members of the slave hunting team had just landed, and more people were still in the river. Taking advantage of the unstable foothold to launch an attack, they could gain the greatest victory at the smallest cost.

As soon as they arrived in the woods, a group of troops with identical weapons and armor rushed out, and the members of the crossbow hunting team were all taken aback.Those who can afford such an army are either nobles or very wealthy businessmen, neither of which are easy to deal with.

However, the consternation of the slave catchers only lasted for a short time, and bloodthirsty murderous intent soon appeared on everyone's face.Those who can join the slave hunting team are not good birds, and they will not be merciful to those who stop them from making a fortune.So what if they are noble soldiers?As long as you kill them all, you will have no worries!Capturing elf slaves is the only purpose of this trip, whoever dares to stop in front will be killed!

This is one of the reasons why Roger only sent as many soldiers as the opponent.If thousands of people were sent out all at once, the slave catchers would definitely flee in all directions.Now the strength of the two sides is about the same, giving the slave catchers hope of victory, so these fierce guys will naturally not give up the fight immediately, which provides convenience for Roger to wipe out the enemy.

As for another reason why Roger did this, of course it has something to do with Han Sai.If all the soldiers are sent out, thousands of people surround and suppress hundreds of people, and the opponent has no chance to fight back, how can this annoying guy die in an "accident" in battle?

Although Han Sai rushed out with a feverish head, he gradually calmed down after running a few steps.After all, this was to fight desperately with the slave catchers, not as simple and easy as patrolling the forest.However, Han Sai's move was a last resort, he had already been squeezed by Roger and had no way out.

Han Sai wanted to prove that elves are far more noble than humans, but he didn't want to sacrifice his life for it.While running, he observed the surrounding situation, and found that Roger was intentionally or intentionally guarded by a group of soldiers, and he couldn't help being moved.Of course, it is safest to be surrounded by many of your own people in battle.Although these were all Roger's soldiers, there were so many clansmen behind him, and Han Sai was not afraid that they would attack him.Anyway, it is always right to find a way to ensure your own safety first, and then destroy as many enemies as possible.

With this thought in mind, Han Sai immediately changed his running direction slightly and ran to another place where soldiers were more concentrated.Not far away, Roger had a panoramic view of this guy's every move, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.If Han Sai wasn't so afraid of death, it would be quite difficult to deal with him under the watchful eyes of the elves.But now that he actually took the bait, the next thing will be much easier.

At this time, the half-armored swordsman had already rushed to the river, and collided heavily with the members of the slave hunting team who had just landed, and the hand-to-hand combat finally began.

Although Roger's soldiers didn't have any strong men with high strength, they were all of the same high-level black iron strength.But they are superior in their excellent weapons and armor and Roger's unified command, coupled with their fearless style of death and bravery that can't go to the line of fire with minor injuries, they are naturally a force that cannot be underestimated.

The slave catchers who died under the arrows while crossing the river before were basically weak, and the real strong basically survived, and they became their strength at this time.Driven by them, the slave hunting team temporarily stabilized their position, fighting evenly with a similar number of half-armored swordsmen.

Roger is the strongest of the two teams.With soldiers protecting him, it is naturally impossible for anyone to threaten his safety.In this case, his speed of killing enemies is certainly not slow, almost killing an enemy every two or three stabs.Even those extremely powerful enemies could not resist Roger for too long under the pincer attack of the soldiers, and they were quickly cut down by his sword.

Every time Roger eliminated an enemy, he would loudly report the number of his kills, as if showing off to Han Sai and demonstrating to him.And Han Sai's killing speed is far inferior to Roger's. Hearing the human being report a number from time to time, while he was still fighting hard with the enemy, Han Sai became more and more anxious, and several times he attacked rashly. He was almost injured by the enemy all the time, and it was only with the help of the soldiers around him that he turned the crisis into safety.

It was great news for Han Sai to have the soldiers around him to fend off the enemy's sword.With the help of the surrounding humans, he also killed several enemies.Under such circumstances, Han Sai, who only wanted to overwhelm Roger, ignored defense more and more and only focused on attacking the enemy.With the rapid increase in the number of kills, Han Sai is also full of confidence in defeating Roger, but deliberately ignores that he has achieved such an achievement with the help of Roger's men.

"Kill two more enemies, and we'll be able to catch up with that despicable human being!" Seeing that the gap between the two sides was getting closer, Han Sai's confidence was getting stronger and stronger.

However, at this moment, Han Sai suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He turned his head in astonishment, and found that a slave catcher had stabbed a dagger into his body with a grinning grin.

"Impossible, those lowly humans, why didn't they protect me?" This thought flashed through Han Sai's mind, and he quickly looked around, only to find that the soldiers around him had dispersed at some point, and he was completely alone Deep into the enemy's camp, there is no chance of escape.

"How did this happen?" The serious injury made Han Sai's thinking a little dull. Before he could figure it out, several slave catchers rushed forward, hacking the elf to death on the spot.

"Phew... it's finally resolved!" Roger, who had a panoramic view of the scene, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly gave the order for the entire army to attack.What should be done has been done, and now he wants to end the battle as soon as possible.

When the other soldiers emerged from their hiding places, the spirit of the slave catchers crumbled.They still have to fight the previous enemies, but if they are fighting so many enemies, there is no other possibility than losing their lives.The slave hunting team is only seeking money, and of course no one will go all out if they hope to win.

Without the captain's order at all, the slave catchers jumped into the river behind them one after another, wading through the water and fleeing in the direction they came from.Compared with the half-armored swordsmen, almost all the slave catchers only wore light leather armor.They will undoubtedly suffer in battle, but when it comes to escaping, wearing leather armor is definitely much faster than wearing heavy half body armor.

However, the slave catchers who jumped into the river to flee for their lives soon discovered that a group of soldiers had arrived in front of them at some point, and they were marching in a neat formation from behind the bushes to the river.The slave-catching team, which was still hopeful of escaping, fell into the predicament of being flanked by the enemy in an instant, without the slightest hope of surviving.

Although the desperate slave hunting team resisted vigorously, they were not the enemy of thousands of troops after all, and the battle ended in a short time.The entire slave hunting team was wiped out, not even a single one was left alive.However, under the dying counterattack of the slave catchers, Roger's soldiers also suffered losses. At least 200 people were killed in battle, and the same number of soldiers were injured.

After this battle, the eyes of the elves, Roger, were all different.They had witnessed the brutality of this battle with their own eyes. Every elf knew that if Roger hadn't brought his men to help, the camp would have suffered a catastrophe, and they didn't know how many clansmen would have suffered.Now, except for Han Sai, all the elves are safe and sound, all thanks to Roger.

Even Elvira came to Roger's side, looked him up and down a few times, then nodded and said: "You are fine!"

Although Elvira turned around and left after saying these three words, for a cold-tempered half-elf, being able to say such words was already her highest praise for a human being.

Even Elf Elder Randolph seemed a little excited, and rushed to Roger with a few other elders and said, "Mr. Li, this time the Crescent Elf really relied on your help to escape, thank you so much!" .”

"Yes, yes, thank you very much."

"If humans are as kind as you are, elves and humans can live in peace."

"You are a good man."

Several other elf elders also expressed their thanks to Roger, and their words seemed very sincere.It only took half a day for the elves to treat Roger completely as an ally from the beginning of hostility and distrust.This is simply incredible for elves who have always been known for their stubbornness and contempt for humans.

In fact, it's no wonder the attitudes of the elves have changed so quickly.In order to protect their camp, Roger paid a very heavy price.Hundreds of soldiers died protecting the alien race, and the same number were seriously injured.The fallen warriors lay on the grass in the forest, and many female elves couldn't help but shed tears. Don't forget that elves are also a very kind race, and their sympathy for allies is unquestionable.

A human being paid such a high price in order to protect the elves who were still hostile to him, how could he prevent the elves from feeling his sincerity?Therefore, Roger's current treatment is absolutely in line with his previous noble behavior.

It's just that the elves didn't know that the retreating wounded soldiers under Roger's men had all returned to the secondary space of the castle, and within a few days they would be able to fight vigorously again.Although the soldiers who died in the battle could not be resurrected, the soul power harvested in this battle was enough to train [-] soldiers, so Roger still made a profit.

Of course, Roger would not tell the elves about these things, but accepted the elves' comfort with a solemn expression, as if he was sad for the sacrificed subordinates.Seeing that the human lord respected the lives of his own people so much, the elves had a better impression of him.

However, there are always accidents in everything. There is one person in the Crescent Moon Elf who hates Roger deeply, and this person is naturally Han Sai's father, Ben En.
