Although the slave-catching team expected that the elves would definitely resist, they never expected that the resistance would be so violent, leaving them with the feeling that they had nowhere to hide.【】
After the first wave of arrows, except for a few of the strongest slave-catchers at the front, they all fell to the deadly arrows. Those slave-catchers in the river also had a hard time, and many of them
All were shot dead or injured. The dead and seriously injured fell into the river and flowed down the river. The slightly injured were
They turned around and fled towards the other side of the river, howling like ghosts, completely forgetting their previous "ambition". The uninjured slave-catching team members had different reactions. Some quickly used their shields to protect their vitals and continued to move towards the other side of the river. Others took their backs.
He fired back with his crossbow and fired arrows into the woods on the opposite side.
It's a pity that Roger's soldiers were well hidden. The slave catchers in the river could hardly reach the enemy, let alone shoot the target accurately. Moreover, their bowstrings were more or less wet when crossing the river.
They were also much inferior in terms of strength. Therefore, this round of counterattack by the slave catching team had no effect at all. Only a few soldiers were injured as a result, and none were killed.
Roger's crossbowmen quickly loaded their strings and launched the second attack. The key targets of this attack were the guys who stayed in the river to shoot arrows. Under the focused attack of the crossbowmen, the slaves who tried to fight back
The team members suffered heavy casualties, and many bodies were found on the river.
The blood flowing from the corpses and injured slave catchers dyed this section of the river pink. The originally quiet forest instantly became a slaughterhouse, and the fresh air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
There were also many elves who came with Roger to have fun. Most of them did not believe that Roger would really start a war for the elves and his kind, and they all came with a surveillance attitude. But when they saw the situation in front of them, they all
With a look of horror on his face, this human was really unambiguous. He had killed dozens of his kind from the very beginning, and the same number of humans were injured to varying degrees.
It was only then that the elves believed that Roger was sincerely helping them. Although the concept of human despicability and shame is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the elves, and it is impossible to completely change it for a while, at least their impression of Roger has become much better.
Several elven elders thought further. Although elves have always been famous for their archery skills, if they encountered crossbowmen with sufficient numbers and strict discipline like Roger's men, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do anything good.
go.
In particular, the Crescent Moon Tribe has less than a hundred warriors at full strength. Just facing off against Roger's five hundred or so crossbowmen is a doomed outcome. What's more, he has thousands of other people.
If there really was a conflict between the other troops and the Crescent Moon Elves, any idiot could imagine what the outcome would be.
This also made several elders more determined to form an alliance with Roger. There is no way. It is lucky that they are willing to live in peace with the Crescent Moon Tribe when they encounter such a powerful neighbor. If they have other ideas, they can only use stupidity to do so.
Described.
However, the elf elders are very smart, which does not mean that there are no idiots in the entire Crescent Moon tribe, and Han Sai is one of them. Or it should be said that Han Sai is not stupid at all, but his arrogant character and inexplicable sense of superiority make him
The IQ has been reduced.
Seeing that Roger's men were showing off in the battle, this self-righteous elf supremacist couldn't hold back anymore. He looked at the corpses of the slave-catching team members floating in the river with disgust, and complained coldly to Roger:
"Do you know that this river is the water source of the camp? These corpses have polluted the river. Do you want the noble elves to drink the dirty water soaked in the corpses of humble humans?"
As soon as Han Sai said these words, even the nearby elves couldn't stand hearing them. Roger was now helping the crescent moon elves to resist foreign enemies. Without his help, the entire camp would have been destroyed. And Han Sai
But they are still blaming others for polluting the water source. This is too ignorant and is simply embarrassing the elves.
Roger had long been displeased with Han Sai, and this guy had repeatedly provoked him. Of course he would not be indifferent. Roger glanced at Han Sai with great contempt, then shook his head and said softly: "I finally understand now."
, the so-called noble elves can only hide behind human soldiers and make sarcastic remarks. According to this, the goblin with the least courage is the noblest race! By the way, those guys must be your relatives, right?"
Roger's words made Han Sai furious. As a noble elf, he would never tolerate a human being slandering him like this, let alone saying that goblins, creatures that were almost like beasts, were his relatives. This was simply
It's the biggest insult. But it's true. Now it's all up to Roger's troops to fight the slave-catching team, and he, Han Sai, hasn't even pulled the string of his bow once.
"Shut up!" Even so, Han Sai couldn't tolerate a human speaking to him like this, and immediately shouted viciously: "The honor of the elves cannot be ruined by you, a human..."
"Stop talking nonsense, noble Lord Elf." Roger smiled disdainfully: "If you have the guts not to hide behind my soldiers and face the enemy directly, I will admit that elves have honor, otherwise...hehe!"
Roger's words stumped Han Sai. He was not an idiot, and of course he knew that rushing out at this time would lead to death. Proving that elves have honor is important, but life is obviously more important.
Looking at Han Sai's embarrassed look, Roger said with disdain: "You are nothing more than this, 'noble' Mr. Elf! Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I will order the soldiers to attack later and I will also join the battle."
.If you kill more enemies than me, I can still recognize the honor of the elves, but...do you dare?"
"What dare I not do?" Han Sai, who was pushed into a corner by Roger's words and had no way out, gritted his teeth and said, "I will let you know the consequences of offending an elf soon!"
"Hey, okay!" Roger responded coldly, and suddenly ordered loudly: "First team, attack!"
Roger's voice was still echoing in the forest, and a group of soldiers rushed out from their hiding place. What surprised all the elves was that Roger did not order the entire army to attack, but only sent about two hundred and half-armored swordsmen.
Launch an attack. The number of these warriors is almost equal to that of the slave-catching team members who can still fight, which really makes others feel confused.
Roger himself was not idle either, and immediately rushed out with the half-armored swordsman. Before taking action, he even turned back and threw a challenging look at Han Sai, his eyes clearly filled with deep contempt.
Seeing such a look from Roger, Han Sai couldn't stay any longer. He felt a rush of blood rushing into his head, and he yelled and rushed out.
