Noldo Elves is not that easy to capture.
Although they do not know magic, most of their archery and martial arts have been honed to extremely terrifying levels over thousands of years of life. Almost every Noldo Elves is a top warrior.
Even those Noldo maidens who look like girls are all forest rangers with extraordinary skills - most of them may be a hundred years old, but they will maintain their youthful appearance like girls for hundreds of years.
In the plains, perhaps humans can easily overwhelm the sparse Noldo Elves with massive cavalry.
But in the vast virgin forest, cavalry is of no use, and almost no one can resist Noldo Elves's powerful archery and ghostly movement.
The slave-catching teams died in piles in the forest, becoming Long River Forest's fertilizer, making the forest's flora and fauna more luxuriant, and making the Noldo Elvess hide deeper.
After that, the human kingdom formed a large army several times to try to sweep away Long River Forest, but in the end they were all wiped out and no bones were left.
Noldo Elves's attitude towards humans has since become extremely fierce.
They began to actively attack any humans who appeared in Long River Forest. Anyone who dared to enter Long River Forest, as long as they encountered Noldo Elves, would be shot to death without any exception.
After leaving countless human lives behind, this forest, which is vaster than the jurisdiction of Long River Town, has become a forbidden land for humans. Unless they have a certain size of armed force, no one dares to pass through here.
Therefore, Long River Forest is now also called Noldo Forest.
This name actually represents a kind of compromise and concession by humans - it is considered to be an admission that the Noldor occupies this vast forest.
But some human desires cannot be changed.
Until now, elven slaves are still expensive goods with no market price, and wealthy nobles from all over the world have always been asking for them at sky-high prices.
Where there is demand, there will be suppliers, and there are still many slave-catching teams targeting elves today.
It's just that few people succeed - if calculated on average, capturing an elf girl often requires the lives of hundreds of people, or even more.
"Sir, please don't take Noldo Elves's idea... This is more dangerous than directly declaring war on all countries."
Li Ang shook his head. "I'm not that stupid... If Noldo Elves has the skills of Risadiran, then such forces must be allies instead of enemies."
Li Ang doesn't dare to take Nodo's idea, he doesn't have the ability now...
Those Noldor warriors have hundreds of years of life. No matter how much the elves admire art and don't like to practice martial arts, their proficiency will probably not be lower than theirs over the years...
As for Risadiran, his bow and arrow skills were inferior to Li Ang - he really didn't aim well when he shot at that piece of barbecue.
If I hadn't accidentally injured an inconvenient part of his body, I might not have been able to beat him.
"Sir, we are leaving the forest soon. If we don't delay, we should be able to reach our destination tonight."
Logistics officer Lesley came over to report that it seemed that the village was not far away.
Passing through the outskirts of the forest, it was a safe journey and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, there was movement ahead.
Sammer, who had been acting as a scout in front, ran back. "There is a sound of fighting ahead!"
Kloze reacted quickly. He stopped polishing those swords, jumped off the carriage and handed over Li Ang's sword.
Then began to distribute weapons to everyone.
"I'll go take a look first."
Sarah stopped Li Ang who was about to drive the horse forward, and rode ahead to check the situation.
So positive?
Has your temper changed?
Li Ang feels that Sarah seems a little different from the past.
However, it is a good thing to be active in working. The lord likes employees who take the initiative to do their work best.
"There are more than a dozen people in front of us, they seem to be the elite of Ebony Gauntlet Knights."
Sarah returned quickly and gave advice very efficiently. "The Ebony Gauntlets are a regular knight group and have always hated Noldo Elves. Sir, we have too many wounded people now, so it is best not to cause any conflicts."
Li Ang nodded and walked forward for a while, pushing aside the branches that blocked his view.
On the road ahead, the sound of fighting has not stopped. Several knights with fist emblems on their breastplates are besieging a Noldo Elves. There are also many people holding heavy crossbows surrounding them.
Several knights did not use swords, but used hammers, and their attacks were very measured. It seemed that they wanted to capture them alive.
The elf had good skills, but he seemed to be injured, and he didn't have a sword in his hand. He could only use his bow to block high and low, and had no power to fight back.
That's Risadiran.
However, it looks a bit miserable now. His right hand may have been hit by a hammer, and it seems that he can't exert any strength.
There was also a crossbow arrow stuck in his leg.
Plus his ass...
No wonder he couldn't run away. It seemed that he couldn't run far last night. After all, he would definitely be affected by Snake Heart Stone.
Looking at the current scene, it is estimated that Risadiran will soon become the prisoner of Ebony Gauntlet Knights.
No, I still have to rely on this guy to find out the mastermind!
I have to get him into my hands...
Li Ang thought for a while, then drove the horse out.
"Fellow knights... why are you attacking my slaves?"
Several ebony knights all looked over.
Two heavy crossbows also aimed at Li Ang.
One of the knights with a cloak on his armor even dropped his hammer and drew his sword.
"Your slave? What do you mean?"
The knight in the black cloak was probably the leader of this team. He looked Li Ang up and down and asked, "Who are you?"
"Li Ang Griffin, local lord. You should not attack my property at will! If you don't want to be thrown into prison by me, just let go of my slaves and get out of here!"
Li Ang took out the noble emblem and looked arrogant, like a playboy from a noble family.
"I haven't heard of a lord around here... are you saying that Noldo Elves is your slave?"
The knight leader looked back at Risadiran, then at Li Ang and the long motorcade behind him, and no longer pointed his sword at Li Ang.
Li Ang waved Noldo longsword in his hand. "What? Are you doubting a noble? Are you going to duel with me?"
"Kloze!"
"Ha!"
Several tough men moved forward with big swords and stood in a row behind Li Ang.
A dozen crossbowmen knelt behind them and took aim.
After going through two battles together, these people have already cooperated very well.
"Don't, don't, don't..." The knight put his sword back into the scabbard and stretched out his hands to show that he didn't want to do anything. "I'm not doubting you, sir! We are Ebony Gauntlet Knights, we were just maintaining roads nearby, and we accidentally ran into this Noldo Elves..."
Obviously Li Ang has a lot of people here, and the outcome of the fight is hard to say. Moreover, it is difficult to end a conflict with a noble lord, and this ebony knight has no intention of taking action.
Li Ang raised the Noldo longsword in his hand to signal, and continued to cheat, "You have recognized the wrong person, he is my slave! Give him back to me, and then get out, I can treat it as a misunderstanding!"
The ebony knight looked at the curved sword in Li Ang's hand, then looked back at Risadiran, seemingly hesitant.
"Lord Li Ang, help me!"
Risadiran is undoubtedly a smart guy. When he saw Li Ang setting up a step for him, he immediately started shouting, even crying a little, and his expression was quite sincere.
The ebony knight looked at Risadiran again, his eyes gradually moved to the elf's legs and buttocks that were still clamped, and then he suddenly realized.
He sighed and waved his hand, signaling his men to get out of the way.
The ebony knight grinned and looked at Li Ang, and advised sincerely, "Noldo is not trustworthy, sir... I have no objection to your having such a hobby... But even if you love him again, you should not let him go freely..."
Ansen asked Sarah in a confused voice from behind, "What hobby is he talking about? Why didn't I understand a word..."
"Ahem... don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"
Sarah curled his lips helplessly.
