That's a fake elf

As the tree people used their unparalleled brute force to drag all the war horses to the ground and surrounded them, the guards finally fell into despair.

Without their horses, they would never be able to outrun the assassin's daggers and ranger's arrows. Facing the huge bodies of the tree people, they had no fighting spirit at all.

"You want money, right? I'm willing to give you whatever you want, as long as you let me leave with the goods."

Sinai, who had put on a new pair of trousers, stood in front of the carriage window, looked at the tall tree man, and forced a smile.

"I'm afraid that won't work. You and the goods must stay here." Li Ang, who was followed by the Moonlight Deer and Werewolves, walked out of the woods and looked at Sinai with a smile.

"Is it you? Why are you taking action against us? We obviously have no grievances, and I even hired you before."

Seeing that Li Ang seemed not to let them go, Sinai signaled the guards to prepare for battle while pretending to be angry.

"Don't you know very well why I will deal with you?" Looking at the guards who were secretly putting on armor, the smile on Li Ang's face became deeper and deeper.

"Is it because I want to pay for the werewolf?" Sinai said, pretending to be confused.

“It looks like I won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin.”

"Go!"

At Sinai's command, the guards swarmed towards Li Ang.

Without Li Ang's command, Aisha spontaneously led the moonlight deer to meet the guards, and Li Ang released the magic without hesitation.

"Tangled with thorns"

The next second, countless thorns burst out of the ground and wrapped around all the guards like pythons.

Even if the guards frantically chopped down the thorns, the thorns did not decrease at all. Soon all the guards were tied into human rice dumplings by the thorns.

"Wait a minute, don't... don't kill me."

Not looking at the murderous intent in Li Ang's eyes, Sinai's heart suddenly pounded, and he shouted in a panic, "I am the royal merchant of Duke Remiel of Vastia, kill me, Duke Remiel is I won’t let you go...ahhhhh..."

"Your natural fire causes 312 points of group fire damage to the enemy."

In an instant, the guards who were originally entangled in thorns burst into flames.

The flames clung to them like tarsal maggots through magic thorns, and could not be extinguished no matter how they rolled on the ground.

A few minutes later, only dozens of black ashes and charred weapons were left on the ground.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ellie, who walked out of the woods, covered her mouth and looked in disbelief at Li Ang, who grabbed the businessman from the carriage and then used "natural fire" to burn him to ashes in front of her.

She originally thought that Leon just wanted a small punishment but a big warning, but she didn't expect that Leon killed everyone in the caravan.

How is this behavior different from those extremely vicious bandits and forest bandits?

For a moment, she was afraid to approach Li Ang.

Seeing the two druids looking at him with fearful eyes, Li Ang suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth. He completely forgot to tell him the identity of this businessman.

When he thought of this, he could only pull off the rain cloth on the truck himself, revealing the unconscious elf locked in a cage inside.

"This guy is a slave trader. What are you doing standing there? Why don't you quickly take off all the raincloths on all the trucks?"

"Oh Amount."

Seeing the stunned compatriots on the truck, the two druids didn't know that they had misunderstood Li Ang, and immediately hurriedly opened the raincloths on the trucks.

As expected, except for some of these trucks, which indeed contained wood, herbs, furs, boar legs and other goods, the others were all wood elves who had been knocked unconscious by medicine and locked in cages.

"Lord Li Ang, how did you know that he was a slave trader?"

She took out the herbs from the space bag, prepared the antidote, and drank it for all the elves. Ellie's bright eyes widened and she looked at Li Ang with an expression of curiosity.

"Hmm, it's all thanks to Deluna."

The werewolf pointed to his nose in confusion, and when he saw Li Ang's threatening eyes, he immediately closed his mouth.

"I see. You must have seen something wrong with this businessman, and then asked Druna, a werewolf with a keen sense of smell, to investigate, and then found out that he was a slave trader."

Ai Li looked at Li Ang with admiration and figured everything out for him.

"Well, that's it." Li Ang smiled awkwardly. He couldn't say he saw it from the system's mission content.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As the wood elves who had been given the antidote woke up one by one, they panicked for a while, but soon discovered that the people who saved them were their own compatriots.

In an instant, these ragged wood elves all hugged each other and cried.

After learning the specific situation from these wood elves, Li Ang finally knew what happened to them.

It turns out that like Lin Yu Village before, these wood elf villages were also attacked.

It's just that their time is earlier, their luck is not as good as Lin Yucun, and Li Ang and the Pegasus Knight are coming to save them.

After the village was breached, they were all captured and locked in an underground secret room that never saw the light of day.

Someone will train them every day, and they will be beaten and kicked if they do not go well.

Days like this have been going on for a long time, and they have seen with their own eyes many compatriots who have been trained and have lost their will to be taken away.

Originally they thought they would be like this, until things changed not long ago.

The trainers suddenly forced them to drink drugs and put them in a cage. When they woke up, they were like this.

"Do you know where you were imprisoned at that time?" Resisting the urge to spread the ashes of Sinai, Li Ang asked the wood elves in a warm voice.

"I don't know, I just occasionally hear them mention Cuiting, Silverwind Castle, and Haiyan City." A female elf said with tears in her eyes.

"I understand, you eat something and then take a good rest. I will take you to a safe place."

After asking Ellie to make some food from the food on the carriage, Li Ang turned back and said to the elves.

"Thank you, thank you."

Summoning the "Storm Crow", Li Ang wrote down his suspicion that someone in the Green Court was colluding with the Vastians and buying and selling his compatriots, and then let it fly.

It is really unimaginable that these slave merchants are so courageous. They dare to do such a thing near Cuiting, the Druid's base camp, and even openly announce tasks in the Freedmen's Association.

However, I am afraid that it was precisely because this mission came from the Freemen's Association in the inner city that no one suspected that there was something wrong with the caravan, allowing Sinai to escape the inspection of the rangers.

"Lord Li Ang, how should we deal with this matter?" Looking at the wood elves who were devouring food, Phil had a troubled expression on his face.

"It's definitely impossible to drive them away. No matter what, they were originally civilians under Cuiting's rule. Now that their hometown is gone, I can only settle them." Li Ang said with a bitter smile.

"That's true, but we don't even have a place to stay now, and we don't even have a lot of food. Is this really no problem?" Phil asked softly.

"Food? Isn't that what it is? And have you forgotten my identity? I am the lord of Yew Ridge. As long as I take back Cedar Forest Castle from the bandits, won't they have a place to live?"

Pointing to the mountains of supplies in the truck, Li Ang showed a confident smile on his face. Sure enough, no business is as fast as robbery!
