Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

"Little bitch! Now you're going to pay for those clever actions!"

The first orc cavalryman rushed out with his spear, galloping like an arrow in the dark night, but Chloe easily dodged the shot with her graceful figure. Then her sword turned into a flash of cold light and cut across the neck of the orc cavalryman who was approaching very closely. With an unusual crisp sound, the head flew into the air, and the body wrapped in heavy armor fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Immediately afterwards, the fate of the second orc cavalryman was also sealed. His body was torn apart from his right shoulder to his left armpit by Chloe's sword, as if swept by an invisible wind blade, leaving a shocking crack.

Chloe's sword dance was like a symphony, vertical slashes, horizontal sweeps, diagonal sniping, the sound of swords interweaving into a victory prelude, echoing under the night sky. Soon after, screams rang out again, and the others left the leader behind and began to run for their lives.

The abandoned orc captain, who was also a well-known man, showed no fear in front of Chloe, and every move he made was very calm. Perhaps it was to let his companions escape? He had no choice but to stand up and expose himself to the enemy's sword. After more than a dozen rounds, the blades kept making sharp collisions and sparks flew everywhere. However, the difference in strength was basically huge. Soon, blood spurted out from the captain's neck, and the man fell to the ground.

"What a pity! Skills are not as effective as courage."

Throwing these words at the corpse on the ground, Chloe kicked the unicorn in the abdomen and began to command the guards hiding on both sides of the road to chase the fleeing enemy.

The night was still as dark as ever, but the armor of the fleeing orc cavalry was covered with fireflies, so there was no need to worry about losing them. There were six of them in total, the only number of enemies left.

The six twos being pursued and the dozens of riders of the nine pursuers ran across the battlefield, passing by the infantrymen who were four holding long three spears and five with battle axes and sitting six on the roadside.

Chloe yelled, "Don't let them get away! Chase them!"

The enemy must not be allowed to escape. The dark elf infantrymen knew this, but they had been running around for the past few days with little time to rest. They had already used up all their strength and energy and could only sit on the ground.

As a last resort, Chloe had to lead the Cavalry Guards to chase after them.

Chasing the wind and shadows, Chloe and her cavalrymen shuttled through the battlefield like cheetahs, and every swing of the sword was precise and deadly.

A sharp blow cut the beast soldier's neck in half, and the spurting blood formed a red stream with the wind that passed through the night air.

Another blow of the sword cut down another cavalryman. The beast soldiers no longer had the intention to fight back. They just ran away madly and desperately. The other four cavalrymen who were already far away seemed unable to catch up in a short time. Now they could only use bows and arrows.

Chloe was able to become Olga's guard knight, so she had outstanding accomplishments in sword, spear, and bow. However, if the level is high enough, there will naturally be a difference between the best and the inferior. Chloe is not very good at using bows and arrows. Of course, it is not to say that her skills are inferior. In actual combat, she is no worse than others, and the arrows she shoots are enough to penetrate the bodies of enemy soldiers.

As if to prove her strength, Chloe shot two arrows and shot down two orc cavalrymen. The third arrow missed slightly, but the fourth arrow shot down a third person.

At this time, the last person was out of the range of the bow. Chloe put down her bow with a smack, realizing that she was going to have a long chase. Just as she was about to spur her horse forward, something like a gust of wind flew out and ran parallel to Chloe.

Before the sound of the bowstring disappeared, the orc cavalryman, whose figure had become a black dot, fell headfirst from the saddle. Chloe, who was watching from the side, saw the forest elf with a calm face put down the bow in his hand.

"What great skills you have! I didn't expect you to be so skilled!"

Chloe praised her, and the forest elf Lucy replied modestly, "I consider myself the second best archer among the elves."

"So who's number one?"

"I haven't met him yet, but I think one day, somewhere, I will meet someone who is better than me."

What an interesting guy! Chloe didn't expect herself to evaluate the other party in this way in her heart. If it's just about archery skills, this forest elf should be able to be a commander, right?

Suddenly, Chloe drew her sword and stabbed out. It turned out that an orc cavalryman who had fallen to the ground was not completely dead yet, and wanted to retaliate against Lushe.

"I am Chloe of the Dark Elf. If you are unwilling to die, just come to me as a ghost."

Chloe shook off the blood on the knife and said this viciously. This sentence was undoubtedly the end of this bloody battle.

Chapter 83: Request from Whetstone Castle

So far, the battle with the Black Beast Group is progressing steadily along the chessboard that Lin Rui carefully laid out.

He took advantage of the orcs' greedy nature and manipulated the 3,000 elite soldiers of the Black Beast Regiment, making the enemy like a puppet, being easily moved back and forth, running around, and finally falling into a desperate situation and being caught off guard. If any general were to experience such a thing, it would be hard not to feel aggrieved and difficult to let go.

That's right, we are talking about General Kahn. This majestic commander could only lead hundreds of defeated soldiers and flee to Hucang Town in a panic.

“Damn it… Damn it… You’re just a human… You’re a very weak human… But you played me around like a fool… This shame… This shame… I must avenge you… Kill you… Kill you, kill you, kill you…”

General Kahn was so angry that he almost bit his lower lip. He whipped the horse's butt like a storm, as if he had made this innocent mount the object of his anger. The personal soldiers and staff who followed him, in addition to looking at the horse with sympathy, were more helpless and silent about the general's situation.

As for the dark elves.

As soon as dawn broke, Lin Rui led his team to clean up the battlefield and set up camp on the west bank of Asahikawa, separated from Toishi Castle by a river.

On the one hand, he needed to regroup the troops that had been scattered before. Although last night's victory was very gratifying, it was just a fluke of taking advantage of the darkness and the surprise attack. In the future battles, the enemy will definitely not make the same mistake and will act more cautiously.

At the same time, arrangements must be made for the seriously injured and dead dark elf soldiers. They need to be transported back to Yizi City for proper placement and treatment. Especially for the dead dark elf soldiers, Lin Rui needs to resurrect them through the elves' unique rituals.

But all this can only be done after the battle is won.

On the other hand, what should be done with Whetstone City, the city at the center of the storm?

The reason why he led the army here and drove out the Black Beast Group at all costs was mainly because Lu Xie had joined the game. But if Dishi City did not show any reaction, it would be unreasonable.

7 So, he took Lucy, Olga and Chloe with him, and the four of them stood side by side, looking at the Whetstone Castle on the opposite bank. When he was about to discuss with Lucy how to get the deserved reward from Whetstone Castle, a small boat cut through the tranquility of the Asahikawa River, slowly approached the shore, and just arrived at the shore.

6 A forest elf woman in gorgeous dress accompanied by a forest elf knight came to greet everyone.

According to human standards, this woman is probably over 60 years old, with gray hair, but her muscles are strong, her skin is shiny, and her back is still straight. She looks like a forest elf full of energy and wisdom.

"Isn't this Lady Marjorie? I'm Lucy, Lucy from Tenjin Mountain Castle... Do you still remember me?"

Si Luxie greeted the other party first, and it seemed that he was someone she knew.

"Isn't this Lord Lucy? I'm glad to see you again. It's been hundreds of years, and I still look pretty strong. This male human must be the legendary savior. Thank you for saving Whetstone City. I'm the lady-in-chief of Lord Norin of the Anhalt family, the lord of Whetstone City. You can just call me Marjorie."

Judging from her aura, no one would doubt her even if she said she was the queen. She was originally an old lady with a great dignity, and she was also proficient in the language of the dark elves, which made people suspect that she was not only the head of the female officer, but also had a higher status.

"So, what's the matter, lady officer?" Lin Rui asked politely, but he was secretly on guard in his heart.

This old guy came at the perfect time.

"To be honest, I do have a favor to ask of you." Marjorie's answer was brief and direct.

But just when Lin Rui wanted to continue speaking, the knight who had been staring at Lin Rui behind the female officer interrupted and asked: "Since you are the legendary savior, you must have killed countless powerful enemies, right?"

"Yes, I killed a hundred lions, a thousand orcs, and thirty dragons." After saying this in a serious and exaggerated manner while suppressing a playful smile, Lin Rui suddenly added, as if he had suddenly remembered something: "I killed ten more last night."

"Orc soldiers?" The other party seemed very interested in Lin Rui and asked.

"No, because there are surprisingly many mosquitoes when sleeping near the water."

Lin Rui had a joking expression on his face. The other party seemed to realize that he was being mocked. He was about to say something with anger, but the female officer stopped her and asked Lin Rui: "Savior is really humorous. After experiencing such an eventful life, I believe your life must be rich and colorful, and you won't feel bored at all."

"Every day, I have many girls accompanying me, annoying orcs bothering me, and forest elves plotting against me testing me. I feel that as long as I am alive, I will not be bored."

Lin Rui replied in the same conversational tone as the other party.

Seeing that the conversation was going in a strange and even a little dangerous direction, Lucy quickly interrupted and tried to get the topic back on track: "Well, well, Lady Marjorie, let's get down to business."

The female officer slowly laid out what had happened.

When the shadow of the Black Beast Group surged towards the Whetstone City like a tide, the city lord Norin was inspecting the surrounding villages, and the city was leaderless for a while. After learning that the city was under siege, she tried every possible way to break the siege, and even wrote a letter to the great elder Noru for help, but until now, there has been no news.

Hearing this, Olga raised her chin, a hint of sneer on the corner of her mouth, and said sarcastically: "So, you have also been abandoned by that great elder. How pitiful! Congratulations." Her words contained both resentment towards Noru and a subtle provocation towards the forest elf lady-in-waiting in front of her.

However, the female officer remained unmoved, as if all the ridicule had nothing to do with her. Only the female knight behind her frowned. Of course, the story continued.

Although the city lord was away, the warriors of Whetstone City defended their homeland with an unyielding will, and the Black Beast Group withdrew their siege troops after hearing that the dark elves' army was about to arrive. Logically, Whetstone City should be safe.

However, the Black Beast General named Kahn did not forget to set a disgusting trap before leaving.

Near the Whetstone City, there lived many orcs who fled here to escape the tyranny of the Nigrams Empire. Lord Norin accepted them with a broad mind and allowed them to settle on both sides of the Asahikawa River, making a living by fishing and collecting salt. But greed and dissatisfaction spread quietly in their hearts like weeds, and they longed to go further and step into the territory of the elves. The xenophobia of the elves and the characteristics of a purely female society made this desire doomed to be unrealized, so the seeds of hatred quietly took root.

Before the Black Beast Group's troops retreated, they repeatedly sent people to do ideological work on these orcs, using benefits as bait to induce some orcs to betray, attempting to cooperate with the inside and outside to seize the Whetstone City. They also said that as long as they could help the Black Beast Group's army open the gate, not only would the previous crime of fleeing be written off, but they could also obtain status, property, and elven slaves in the Whetstone City.

What happened next was clear at a glance. The Black Beasts fled northwards under the attack of the Dark Elf Army, and the siege of Whetstone City was lifted. However, the orcs who colluded with the Black Beasts did not know this. They thought that the battle last night was the time for the Black Beasts to attack the city, so they took advantage of the slackness of the Whetstone City defenders and set fires everywhere in the city. After a period of chaos and bloodshed, Whetstone City was actually occupied by these orcs.

Whetstone City was actually occupied by a group of orc villagers?

Lin Rui and his party were all shocked when they heard this, and there was a tone of disbelief in their words.

"Your 500 defenders of Whetstone City held off 3000 Black Beastmen for two days, but failed to hold off ordinary orc villagers for half a night. Is that what you mean?"

Lin Rui said this not intentionally to mock, he was really curious about how the people of Dishi City defended the city.

Faced with the doubts, Officer Marjorie was speechless for a moment, but as part of her duty, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and continued to plead: "We have been wandering outside the city for a night and finally crossed the Asahikawa River and found this place. I hope the savior can help Lord Norlin and kill all the orcs in the city."

Chapter 84: Subjugating the Forest Elf Lady Governor of Whetstone City

Faced with the request to send troops to Dishi City, Lin Rui did not agree as readily as the other party expected. He had his own plans in mind.

He had been thinking about how to extort money from Dishi City because he had not gained any benefits from Dishi City. The other party actually sent someone to ask for his help. For him, it was just a timely rain in his troubled times, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

"Haha, the world is getting more and more interesting. Not only has my small territory become a safe haven for the exiled tribes, but I have also received a call for help from a female city lord who is eager to recover her homeland. It's really unpredictable."

Lin Rui thought to himself with a hint of sarcasm.

"Recently, there seem to be a lot of people like this in this world! If the Black Beast Group is destroyed, I'm afraid there will be another mercenary group that wants to rebuild its glory."

Lin Rui can always see the essence of things in a wonderful way. From the overall perspective, whether it is the elves or the orcs, they have destroyed other countries and killed other kings. This is a cycle of cause and effect.

Even so, it is not fun to let the lawless Black Beasts run rampant. It is their business if the Black Beasts want to run rampant in Nigrams, but this is Bijuu. Even if there are many problems, the elves should make changes themselves, rather than the Black Beasts or Urakami interfering with bloodshed and conspiracy.

At this moment, Lin Rui realized that it was the perfect time to seize Dishi City. With sufficient troops and legitimate reasons, all conditions were ripe. But even so, he would not give in easily. After all, every promise required corresponding chips, and he had no obligation to agree to the other party's request without consideration.

"What does the powerful Lord Norin think? I want to hear from you what she promised in person. For example, what kind of support or reward are you willing to give us?"

Lin Rui's eyes flashed with cunning light, passing through the female officer Marjorie and shooting straight at the female knight. It was the female knight who almost had a seizure because of his deliberate teasing. The female officer and the female knight couldn't help but look at each other after hearing what he said.

"Can't the nobles of the forest elves show their original appearance to the public?"

Lin Rui's words were very straightforward. He was telling the other party that he had seen through the true identity of the female knight.

In the deepest part of the dark elf camp, the curtain of the commander's tent slowly opened, as if the curtain of a stage was gently lifted, and a ray of soft morning sun light quietly fell, covering this solemn place with a layer of golden sand. Lin Rui sat on a chair covered with a blanket to welcome the two forest elves, one old and one young.

Norin, the hostess of Whetstone City, gently took off her helmet, and her long pink hair, as soft as a waterfall and with a faint luster, was instantly released, accompanied by a scent from the sea of nectar flowers, quietly diffused in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

A handsome face with eyes that could make people tremble. A strong aura was revealed between her eyebrows. Her face was full of luster. From her eyes and thick lips, there was a feminine aura that men could not stand.

Although he was wearing heavy knight armor, his upright body looked as tall and straight as a sculpture.

This left her valley wide open, and even the custom-made armor could barely cover her high, bulging breasts.

So big, Oppai is really big...

It can be seen that this pair of cumbersome round breasts caused Nolin a lot of trouble. Even through the opaque armor, Lin Rui could see that she had used a breast wrap.

But this bra not only failed to solve the problem, but made the waist look even slimmer, the waist curve smoother and more delicate, and the buttocks fuller like a juicy peach.

"Oh, what a beautiful lady! She is such a delight!" Lin Rui sighed, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

At this moment, a voice as clear as a spring flowed out from the beautiful woman's lips. It was pure Dark Elf language without any forest elf accent.

"I heard that the Savior has many brave generals and soldiers. So can you lend me your strength?"

"Just being strong won't help me. Not to mention that the city I'm attacking is my own." Lu...4

Lin Rui's answer was not polite at all. Being confident in one's own strength and relying on strength without working hard are two different things. The extinction of humans in this world's timeline not only made Lin Rui realize this, but also made all the elves face this cruel fact.

The hundreds of years of grievances between the elves and the orcs were certainly due to the greed of the orcs, but it is also an indisputable fact that the elves were careless and underestimated the enemy. They thought that their noble bloodline was an invincible shield, but they did not expect that this mysterious self-confidence would lead to their defeat in one battle after another. In fact, when the small tribes around Beizhou were invaded for no reason, the elves should have been vigilant and prepared early.

"Ah, there's no use talking about this now."

Lin Rui changed the subject. It was meaningless to say that the Black Beast Group was greedy. After all, Lin Rui originally planned to take over the Dishi City. However, the problem now changed. It was the Lord of Dishi City who asked him to do a job that risked his life, so it was natural for him to ask for a corresponding reward.

"Ah, I don't know how things will develop in the future, but I will help you put out the fire in front of you. However, at this time, the water for putting out the fire is not free."

"You mean for reward?"

Lin Rui accepted Nuo Lin's almost accusatory look with a smile.

Olga interrupted at this time. Before this, even though she was in her own tent, she had been staring at Norin and Marjorie, who were sitting in the guest seats opposite Lin Rui, with an extremely unfriendly look, without saying a word:

"When helping the poor, you can use informal kindness as a thank you gift. But isn't it rude not to accept payment from the rich?"

"Why do you say we are rich people...?"

"I have never seen a poor man wearing luxurious silk clothes!"

Olga chose to speak at this time because when she was attacked by the Black Beast Group before, Toishi Castle, as one of the two neighboring cities closest to Otoshi Castle, ignored Olga's call for help.

Olga still remembers this resentment.

Her eyes were filled with indignation towards the past indifference of Whetstone City.

Therefore, her words were naturally more sharp and harsh:

"There are many women in this world who sell their bodies to raise their young children or to save their seriously ill parents. If I were to face such a woman, I would help her even if she didn't ask me for help. However, we have no obligation to help those who are rich but reluctant to pay."

Following Olga's extremely realistic and correct harsh words, Nolin was speechless.

"The reason why I don't like those self-righteous forest elves is that they always think it is natural for others to serve them. It is natural for soldiers to die in battle, it is natural for farmers to pay taxes, and it is natural for them to enjoy luxury."

Olga kicked the floor with the soles of her boots.

"And they think that the suffering of slaves and free people is natural, but the suffering of the royal family and nobles is pitiful. Those who watch slaves starve to death indifferently only give food to the princes who have lost their country and are starving and freezing. Why should I help those who abandon the people and run away with only treasures for no reason?"

"Olga, it's almost time."

Seeing this, Lin Rui interrupted Olga's anger at the right time, and the atmosphere was slightly relieved. Finally, the silence was broken by the Lord of Dishi City, Norin. She proposed a specific plan for compensation and used it to negotiate.

"Mr. Savior, in fact, you have always wanted to take over my city... I am right, am I not." There was a barely perceptible tremor in Norin's words, but she continued resolutely: "In this case, for the future of Dishi City... I am willing... willing to kneel and submit to you, the great savior... As the lord of Dishi City, I express my deepest respect and loyalty to you..." As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the tent, with only Norin's voice echoing.
