Real elves vs fake elves

If the purpose of the commercial alliance is not only to plunder slaves but also to crush competitors, then the Seven Cities Alliance probably just runs out of pure magic materials.

"The Seven Cities Alliance... the mages are basically a bunch of lunatics. I can't understand their way of thinking. These bastards are either absolutely rational or incredibly chaotic. We don't need to negotiate with them, let alone figure out what these bastards are thinking. These noble mages don't understand anything except a large amount of magical bombardment and the sound of sharp swords and armor."

Ty Lee nodded. Aenarion's words defined the elves' external response strategy this time, which was...

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! …Rape!

With the issuance of the highest order, the elven warriors took action again, and many elven young people of military age in society were also prepared to be mobilized and could report to the military at any time.

On the border, the regular army of the elves had already engaged in rounds of battles with the slave-raiding teams.

In a simple camp, hundreds of human soldiers were sleeping on the ground. They did not have any daily necessities such as tents, because the human commander believed that such things would destroy the soldiers' fighting will, and this idea was very popular among human countries.

But the commander would obviously not lose his will, so the big tent in the center of the camp looked quite luxurious, just like a movable palace. The luxury and comfort inside was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary soldiers.

In the big tent, two commanders were drinking and talking big. One of the commanders was potbellied and didn't look like a military strategist at all. This guy was indeed not a military strategist. He was a businessman from a commercial alliance. He owned 51% of the shares of this army of hundreds of people.

The other one was so skinny that he looked like a skeleton. He always wore an iron mask. It was said that an accident in a magic experiment caused him to become like this. He looked like neither human nor ghost, which was quite scary.

This guy is a wizard from the Seven Cities Alliance, and he owns 49 percent of this army.

These two men certainly don't know how to fight. They hired three military contractors to form this army of hundreds of people. As nominal commanders, they will not perform any command work. All the trivial matters will be left to the military contractors.

All they had to do was give their orders and drink.

After drinking to their heart's content, the fat businessman finally started talking about business: "Those big guys are still counting on us to step on the mines. This time they have already sent two to three thousand people into the forest, but they haven't found much. Now these big guys don't want to get any benefits from us, and they still expect us, the little minions, to fight to the death. How can such a good thing happen!"

"Pressure! Pressure! Pressure! They are not afraid that we will all quit!"

When it comes to hatred, it can be said that one is gritting one's teeth.

"Will you give up?" The skeleton-like wizard said in a gloomy voice, "You have invested so much money, and even borrowed a large sum of money from the business union. Will you give up now?"

"Can you bear what will happen after you give up?"

"You've lost your big house, your private island, your many beautiful wives and concubines, and you've even got to bear a huge debt. Can you really bear all this?"

These words made the fat businessman's face turn purple.

The skeleton-like wizard continued to speak: "You took a risk because of impulse, while I took a gamble after careful consideration. In essence, although our ways of thinking are completely opposite, we do exactly the same thing."

"I will not abandon you, and you will not abandon me. It is useless to say these words of regret now."

These words made the fat man wilful, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Mage: "The magic masters sent by the Seven Cities Alliance cast a divination spell of astonishing scale.

However, they did not obtain any useful information from it. Two magic masters sneaked into the underworld here to try to further perform divination spells, but they have not returned yet, and even the underworld has lost their information. "

"All this news shows that there are terrifying monsters among the elves, and they are terrifying monsters that even the old monsters find difficult to deal with and even overturn. But the top leaders have concealed this news. They still want us to enter this forest. Their ideas have not changed because of these changes. They still want to use our lives to add the jewel representing victory to their crown."

The mage's tone was surprisingly calm from beginning to end. If anyone else had said these words, they would have become indignant, but the mage's temper was so strange that they said these words as if it was a matter of course, as if there was nothing wrong with them at all.

"You and I work hard to delay the exploration as long as possible. This is not only about our lives and wealth."

The fat man couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Forget it, this is the only way."

"I caused this bitter fruit because of my impulsive behavior. I have no choice but to accept it."

Chapter 85 Times have changed, sir. (pulling out drone)

If the human warriors of the Holy Griffin Empire are brave and high-spirited, and their fighting will and tactical skills are the best in the world, then the mortal armies of the Commercial Union and the Seven Cities Alliance can be summed up in one word -

rich!

A little more descriptive words -

So rich!

To be more specific -

Damn, he is so rich!

These soldiers were wearing full body armor carefully crafted by a master blacksmith, with only a few seams on the body. There was also a huge shield almost as tall as a person behind them. In addition to a long sword, they also had a steel crossbow with a pulling force of half a ton.

Now the mainstream weapons of the Commercial Union soldiers have gradually been replaced from steel crossbows to six-barreled revolver flintlocks and handheld micro-howitzers produced by the Holy Griffin Empire, but this unit is obviously not the one that has undergone large-scale equipment replacement.

The equipment of the three military contractors was even more amazing. They wore a full set of full-body armor made by dwarven craftsmen, which was completely enchanted. The firearms on their waists were also enchanted. The level of equipment on their bodies was pushed to the limit. Apart from other things, this set of equipment alone could probably feed a small team of warriors for a whole year.

The thinking of these military contractors is very clear - you say I am not as good as you in tactics, strategy or the quality of soldiers? No problem, then I will start with equipment, I will make every soldier armed to the teeth, and I will make every soldier's equipment pushed to the limit.

But now, even with this set of the best armor on their bodies, the three military contractors still felt quite uneasy. The luxurious equipment could not give them any sense of security. It seemed that arrows would be shot out from the forest and take their lives easily at any time.

They still remembered the unlucky guy they rescued, and even more so the two sentences that the unlucky guy kept muttering before he was executed by the two commanders.

"The woods can shoot arrows..."

"The woods can talk..."

The elves are no longer as weak and vulnerable as they were in the past. Now they have turned into wild beasts that choose their prey to devour. After setting up their nets, they wait for their prey to come and tear them apart and devour them!

Looking up, they looked at the dark forest. It was silent inside, but it seemed as if there were wild beasts of astonishing size lurking inside, waiting for the moment when their group of prey relaxed, and then the wild beasts would easily drown these hundreds of people like a tsunami.

"The night watchmen must be arranged well. The soldiers on duty on the fortress must not relax at all. The braziers must be kept burning to prevent any dark spots in the camp. The three cannons must be ready to fight at any time. The elves' night attacks are very powerful. We must pay attention, pay attention, pay attention."

The human warriors' defense was not limited to chariot barriers. They had secretly buried a large amount of gunpowder in a circle outside the position. As long as they found any trace of an elf attack, the rockets could easily ignite the gunpowder around the camp and send all the elves that attempted to attack into the sky.

This method is very effective against goblins and various beastmen, but this long-standing experience cannot bring any confidence to these military contractors. They are not dealing with those mindless beasts, but elves who have conservatively killed more than two thousand people.

After thinking for a moment, the military contractor who gave the order still felt that it was not safe enough, so he turned around and began to discuss the next defense arrangements with his two colleagues.

"I think it's best for the three of us to take turns keeping watch..."

Before he could finish his words, a sharp scream rang in the ears of the three military contractors. These experienced soldiers were stunned at first, and then immediately trembled with fear.

"It's a cannonball!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant crossbow arrow engraved with an incendiary enchantment accurately pierced into the warehouse where the human warriors stored their gunpowder. Under the horrified gazes of many humans, the terrifying explosion set off a terrifying shock wave, which not only blew dozens of people away, but also blew several unlucky guys around the warehouse into pieces.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Everyone get into fighting position!!!"

"All combatants, prepare to engage the enemy!!!"

Several military contractors screamed

, trying their best to calm the chaotic crowd. Now the camp was in complete chaos. If the enemy launched a charge at this time, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

Is it luck... or...

As he roared, the military contractor felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. Only one shot was able to hit the ammunition depot. Was this elf's luck too good?

Was it deliberate aiming?

Impossible, such a long distance, such a small target, how could it be possible...

“Gurgle…”

The cry of the night owl was not very loud, but it inexplicably attracted the attention of the military contractor. Looking up, the night owl's cat-like head was looking at them coldly, its huge eyes unblinking, as if it were the most ruthless god of death in the dark night.

The screaming started again.

This time, four giant crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, but they were not crossbow arrows engraved with explosive runes. These four crossbow arrows exploded when the flying knife was at its highest point in the air, and instantly broke into 20 relatively small crossbow arrows, which were accurately bombarded into the crowd with the acceleration of gravity.

Really... so accurate...

This was the last thought in the military contractor's mind. After this brief thought, half of his head was cut off by a falling crossbow arrow, and he died instantly.

In the dark and bottomless jungle, giant crossbow arrows were fired one after another, taking out important targets of mankind with incredible accuracy. Several gunners had just entered the artillery positions, and before they had time to open the gunpowder bags, these giant crossbow arrows fell accurately, reaping the lives of these unfortunate guys effortlessly. The artillery positions carefully arranged by the human soldiers seemed to be nothing, and the crossbow arrows were always able to bombard from the weak points of the positions.

The fleeing human warriors could not notice that an owl was staring at the group of people from a tree less than two meters away from the human camp. The roar of the shells and the splashing blood did not scare the huge night owl away. What the human warriors could not notice was that every time the night owl looked at a strategic location, it would not take long for the elves' shells to accurately hit the place it was looking at. After confirming that these places were destroyed by the crossbow arrows, the night owl immediately turned around and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.

This could hardly be called a war. The humans never found out where the elves were. They could only flee in panic after being bombarded by crossbows. This was a one-sided, transparent war. The humans were like babies to the elves, and had no power to resist at all.

Chapter 86 Times have really changed

Accompanied by the howling and chaos of the human warriors, the two nominal commanders of the army finally walked out of the extremely luxurious tent leisurely.

Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they did not take the staggering casualties in front of them seriously. Although every soldier here was trained at a huge cost, it was the equipment rather than the people that were expensive. Their death pension was not worth even one twentieth of the cost of their uniforms.

Even if many of these people died, it would not be as heartbreaking as the damage to a set of equipment that would make these two masters feel sad.

"The elves' artillery is very powerful..." The merchant lord looked at the devastated camp with cold sweat. Even at this moment, new giant crossbow arrows continued to fall into the camp, causing huge casualties in an instant.

"Cannon? What the hell are you talking about?!" The wizard snorted disdainfully, "Can elves master such high-end technology as enchanted cannon?"

"The high temperature and chamber pressure generated by gunpowder explosions have always been a major problem in damaging the runes engraved on the cannon. Even after so many years of hard work, only the Human Empire has the only enchanted cannon in the world - the Witch Hammer."

"How can the elves solve a problem that even we can't solve?"

"These are just enchanted crossbows. Without the enchantment, these crossbows are no different from toys for our army."

The wizard's words were full of pride for his profession and contempt for the elves. Although it was the elves who passed on the secrets of magic to humans, antiquity does not mean strength, and now the elves' magic level is no match for humans.

"It's just a damn trick..."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if he sensed something, the mage turned his gaze in a certain direction, and as expected, a giant crossbow arrow shot straight towards him from that direction.

The mage attacked with disdain on his face, and then his expression, which had been calm until then, suddenly turned into a look of horror. At this critical moment, the merchant lord beside him suddenly pulled him over, and this action obviously saved the mage's life. The giant crossbow arrow missed the ground behind the mage by a hair's breadth, and looked no different from an ordinary crossbow arrow, as if it had not been enchanted.

"Demon-breaking enchantment?! The elves are really willing to spend so much money to waste this precious enchantment on a small person like me!" The mage's expression was still fluctuating greatly while he was speaking. It was obvious that this incident almost broke his defense and he really couldn't hold it in any longer.

At first he was calm and prepared to deflect the trajectory of the crossbow arrow. After all, this kind of thing was a piece of cake for a mage like him. But after realizing that his magic had no effect on the crossbow arrow at all, he became terrified. With his physical fitness, he obviously could not avoid the bombardment of this crossbow arrow.

If it weren't for this

The fat guy is actually quite capable. The wizard has to make a deal with him today.

"You mean, this kind of magic-destroying crossbow arrow is very valuable?" The Merchant Lord did not have the lingering fear like the mage. Rescue was also a carefully considered option. With the mage around, he might be able to escape, but without the mage, he would definitely die here. This kind of judgment did not require any time for the Merchant Lord to think about.

Mage: "No, it's not valuable, it's very valuable!"

Merchant Lord: "Does that mean that the army in front of us might be the main force of the elves?!"

The mage's face changed again when he heard this.

To be honest, this shit really was beyond his expectations. He was thinking that using this kind of enchantment to deal with himself was a bit too much, and he didn't think about this level at all.

Now after hearing what the fat guy said, it’s not just a possibility, but an absolute possibility!

"Fortune and honor are sought in danger!" The fat man gritted his teeth, his face showing a fierce look, "We must escape and report the situation here truthfully!"

"I still have some connections, and we will definitely get a share of the credit here!"

Forget about taking all the credit for themselves. Even if their troops were pinned here, it would be extremely difficult for them to retreat. Now the only thing they can hope for is that the big shots above can share some of the credit for discovering the main force of the elves so that they don't lose too much.

This implies that these soldiers here have been abandoned.

"Okay." The wizard's eyes changed. "You're right."

As he spoke, the wizard took out a scroll from his pocket and said, "This is the teleportation scroll I bought from those magic masters at a great price. It is very precious and expensive. The price is no less than this army here."

"It can only be used three times in total, and can only transport one person at a time. Now is finally the time to use it."

The merchant lord was excited when he heard this: "It's a waste of money. It actually cost you so much."

"No, it's not that expensive." The wizard suddenly laughed, "It's only used once, and there are still two chances."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Merchant Lord's face changed drastically. However, no matter how angry he was at this moment, he was powerless because the wizard had already disappeared after a flash of light.

This bastard actually left me and others behind and ran away without hesitation!

It's really hateful!

Fortunately, I just saved his life!

Mages are just such a bunch of scum!

The merchant lord cursed loudly, then turned and looked into the darkness of the dense forest, stood up and roared loudly.

"surrender!"

"We surrender!"

"No more fighting! If you can't win, surrender!"

Seeing their commander surrender so decisively, the remaining soldiers naturally followed suit and started to shout loudly. This battle was so chaotic that they could not even see the enemy from beginning to end. Being hit head-on by an invisible enemy not only cost the lives of the soldiers, but also the morale of the soldiers.

The morale of this army had actually collapsed long ago.

At the same time, the mage who escaped through the teleportation scroll had just regained his clarity of vision, but his confident and even complacent smile disappeared in an instant.

What appeared before his eyes was not the wizard tower where he was anchored, but still a dense forest, but there were two more elves in the forest.

He has dark skin, sexy clothes, a slave collar around his neck, and a very sexy look. It's as if he suddenly jumped from "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" to "Chicken Sky".

The mage's body began to tremble and shake uncontrollably. Two mere roast chicken elves certainly couldn't make him tremble, but if there were four or five unconscious mages lying under the feet of these two elves, then the situation would be completely different.
