They saw Roy and Sabrina being led into a camp by a Half-Elf.

Instructor Eleanor winked at Instructor Gru, then slipped out of the crowd and followed the direction Roy had disappeared in.

Just then, a group of Half-Elf Rebel Army warriors rushed out from the nearby camp. These Rebel Army warriors were armed with all sorts of weapons. One of the Half-Elf Warrior pointed at Instructor Eleanor and shrieked:

"Stop them! They are Silver Moon Elf, and the female elf is a ranger. They've come here to gather intelligence. Let's all arrest them."

With a shout from the Half-Elf Warrior, even the Half-Elf who had been lounging around gathered around.

Everyone quickly surrounded Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Gru.

The two instructors stood back to back in the crowd, but did not make the first move.

This is the Fifth District camp of the Half-Elf Rebel Army, and it is full of the Rebel Army warriors. Once a fight breaks out, even Second Rank powerhouse will not be able to escape easily.

"We are part of the Negotiation Team's escort. Now that it is the time for peace talks, we have been granted the right to freely enter and leave your military camp."

Instructor Eleanor immediately took a badge into her hand.

Upon hearing what Instructor Eleanor said, the surrounding Rebel Army soldiers indeed stopped in their tracks.

In fact, everyone is waiting for the peace talks to reach a result as soon as possible, and they are not averse to this Negotiation Team.

As resources in Bulwark Village dwindled, the Half-Elf endured a difficult period, lacking not only food and clothing but also living in constant fear.

The biggest fear is that the Silver Moon Elf's regular army will suddenly storm in and kill all the rebels, leaving the surrendered to spend the rest of their lives in the underground prison on Parraram Island...

After the second Negotiation Team entered the Bulwark Village, everyone hoped that the peace talks could proceed smoothly.

So when the Rebel Army discovered that Silver Moon Elf had infiltrated the Fifth District camp, they didn't immediately call for battle. Seeing that the two Silver Moon Elf didn't intend to make a move, they surrounded them and tried to force them out of the camp little by little by forming a human wall.

Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Gru were at a loss for a time.

Instructor Virgil, Miss Christine, and Woods formed a group of three, and they were the last group to follow.

Before entering the Fifth District, Instructor Nora had already given everyone instructions: in case of emergencies, the first two groups should adapt to the situation in the Fifth District, while Instructor Virgil's group should evacuate the Rebel Army as soon as possible.

Instructor Virgil witnessed a group of Half-Elf children surrounding Instructor Nora and the Magician Scarlett, while Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Gru were surrounded by a group of the Rebel Army warriors. He immediately realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, by this time, Roy and Sabrina had disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Something's happened, Christine. Go back to camp and get help. Woods, you have to get Christine back to camp no matter what. I'm going to talk to Roy ..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Instructor Virgil quickly said...

After saying that, he quickly ran in the direction where Roy and Sabrina had disappeared.

Without any hesitation, Miss Christine and Woods turned and ran towards the outside of the Fifth District Rebel Army.

When the Half-Elf Rebel Army saw elves running frantically out of the camp, they all stopped what they were doing and reflexively chased after Instructor Virgil, Miss Christine, and Woods.

Instructor Virgil was running towards the camp when he encountered Rebel Army soldiers who tried to intercept him, which he nimbly dodged.

He is an outstanding swordsmanship instructor with excellent balance and coordination.

He can easily weave through crowds while running...

Woods and Miss Christine didn't possess the same skills as Instructor Virgil. Seeing several Rebel Army blocking their path, Miss Christine swiftly drew her longsword...

Woods, however, silently chanted a series of incantations. Then, runes on his shoulders and forehead began to glow. He grabbed his shirt and ripped it open, revealing his chest covered in runes. All the runes on his body shone brightly. Woods let out a roar, and his body rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a giant bear.

The giant bear landed on its four paws, causing the earth to tremble slightly. Then, the bear charged forward, and the Rebel Army scattered to the sides.

Miss Christine followed the giant bear. This was the second time she had seen Woods transform into a giant bear. She watched as the giant bear swatted away a Half-Elf Rebel Army was blocking its way with a single paw.

And so, Woods led Miss Christine out of the Fifth District Rebel Army and ran toward the Negotiation Team's camp.

As Instructor Nora was surrounded by the group of Half-Elf children, she realized that something was wrong; it all seemed premeditated.

She quickly turned to look at Magician Scarlett. The two had been friends for decades and could communicate with their eyes. Magician Scarlett understood Instructor Nora's look and pulled Magic Broom from her Magic Pouch...

As the Magic Rune Array on the Magic Broom lit up rapidly, the Magician Scarlett was the first to step onto the Magic Broom.

Instructor Nora followed closely behind, straddling the seat behind the Magic Broom. The Magic Broom only hovered in place for a few seconds before it swept low through the air and chased after the direction where Roy and Sabrina had disappeared, while the Half-Elf children were still in a daze.

The Rebel Army surrounding Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Gru, trying to force the two instructors out of the camp, found that the rest of the area was already in chaos.

An elven swordsman ran and leaped through the crowd, and for a time no elf could stop him.

Not far away, an elven mage was riding Magic Broom, rampaging through the camp.

The Rebel Army warriors chased after the swordsman and the mage, and the Rebel Army on this side were reduced by more than half. Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Gru exchanged a glance without making a sound. The two of them jumped up at the same time, stepped out of the encirclement, and rushed towards two giant trees by the roadside.

The Rebel Army went into a frenzy and chased after the two men.

The five instructors rushed in the direction where Roy and Sabrina disappeared, which was a large area of camp tents.

The woodland was filled with tattered tents; it was here that Roy and Sabrina disappeared.

It was as if it had evaporated in an instant, leaving not even a trace.

In the blink of an eye, the instructors lost sight of Roy and Sabrina. Instructor Nora clenched her fist, slammed it against her thigh, and shouted fiercely, "Search! Even if we have to turn the Fifth District upside down, we will find Roy and Sabrina!"

After saying that, she jumped off the Magic Broom and rushed to a dirty tent. She lifted the tent flap, and there were two Half-Elf Rebel Army fast asleep inside.

The two were startled awake and watched Instructor Nora leave in a hurry, completely bewildered...

Magician Scarlett ignored Instructor Nora and continued riding forward on her Magic Broom, trying to see if Roy and Sabrina had been taken to the camp ahead.

With a "thud".

An arrow grazed Magician Scarlett's thigh and struck the Magic Broom.

Magician Scarlett inwardly groaned, knowing she was being targeted by an archer.

A mage who dares to fly low on Magic Broom is undoubtedly a sitting duck for archers.

The entire fifth camp was in chaos, with a mix of people, making it look like a refugee camp.

A chaotic commotion arose in the distance...

Roy and Sabrina followed the Rebel Army fighter into a rather inconspicuous tent.

Before entering the tent, the Rebel Army soldier said to Roy with a friendly expression:

"Wait in this tent for a while while I call Welsh over. If you know him, come out and greet him. If you don't, stay in the tent and don't come out to say hello..."

Roy sensed something was wrong. He glanced back and realized that none of the instructors had been able to keep up.

He stopped and decided to wait outside the tent for a while.

But the Rebel Army soldiers put their arms around his shoulders and walked alongside him into the tent.

This tent is a cone-shaped tent built around a large tree, and it has a lot of space inside.

As Roy stepped into the tent, a Half-Elf stood at the entrance, placing a longsword against Roy's neck. Roy tried to resist, but found that the Rebel Army was holding him tightly by the shoulder, with a sharp dagger pressed against his lower back.

Roy's heart sank to the bottom. He quickly shouted, "Sabrina, it's a trap..."

Only after shouting this did Roy turn his head.

Behind them, Sabrina was being pointed at by several longswords at the same time, and the two of them barely had a chance to resist.

Then Roy felt a sharp blow to the back of his head, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground, losing all consciousness...

A bucket of cold water was splashed on Roy's face, waking him from his unconsciousness.

At this moment, Roy lay on the ground with a splitting headache. His vision gradually returned, and he found himself inside a tent, surrounded by a group of Half-Elf.

The face Roy was most familiar with was Abbott, who was so thin that his eye sockets had sunken, and his former belly had completely disappeared.

He stared at Roy with a sinister look on his face, while the sorcerer Benjamin stood beside him, watching Roy expressionlessly...

Roy touched his wet face and then touched the sticky back of his head. The blood on his hair had congealed into thick clots, indicating that he had lost a lot of blood.

Benjamin the Mage grinned mockingly and said to Roy, "Roy, I heard you've been looking for us everywhere?"

The half- Half-Elf around Roy were also looking at Roy with a sinister gaze. Roy quickly found the guy named Jones among these Half-Elf. Back in the orchard outside Padesto, the instructors had captured him and Benjamin and handed them over to the Elf Ranger of Padesto City.

They are indeed still alive and well...
