That's a fake elf

Because of the historical issues left by previous lords, Li Ang did not fully gain the trust of the villagers and elders of Bailin Village.

Even after several attempts at persuasion, they were unwilling to disclose the current state of Shanlin Castle, let alone act as lobbyists.

Faced with this situation of neither cooperation nor resistance, Leon was helpless.

It is impossible for him to kill all these villagers as associates of the bandits, or use them as hostages to threaten the people in Shanlin Fort.

That way he would really have an undying hatred with all the people here.

"Lord Li Ang, what should we do now? The villagers are unwilling to cooperate. Do we really want to attack Shanlin Fort?"

Looking at the frowning Leon, Helister suddenly walked up to him and asked quietly.

"Now it seems that this is necessary." Li Ang nodded.

"But Shanlin Fort is backed by a cliff and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With our strength, we may not be the opponents of the professionals in Shanlin Fort. Besides, if we attack by force, the villagers will most likely report the news."

Herister's expression changed and she said quickly.

"I already have a good idea, don't worry." Li Ang rubbed his chin with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to take Gao Shun's suggestion and use the villagers as bait?" Heliste's expression changed drastically after hearing Li Ang's words.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I am such a shameless person?" Li Ang looked at Helister with his eyes widened and innocence.

Aren't you?Helister looked at Li Ang speechlessly.

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

In the lush yew forest, a simple camp stood here, with more than a dozen tents connected end to end, completely inconsistent with the rules of camping.

The three stunned hunter masters were tied up, then dragged by two figures to the forest camp, and hung on the tree like prey.

After doing all this, Helister raised her head and looked around the camp.

Here, many people with the same situation as these shooters have appeared. They are all professionals in Shanlin Castle.

Since Li Ang came here with her, Gao Shun and Ai Li five days ago, he began to set up this camp and explore the surrounding terrain.

At first, Helister didn't understand why Li Ang did this.

It wasn't until the next day that Li Ang commanded her and Gao Shun to ambush the archers and hunters who left the fort near Shanlin Fort and kidnap them back one by one that she suddenly realized.

It turns out that Li Ang wanted to use these professionals to lure the snake out of its hole.

For these archers and hunters, they did not choose to kill them, but fed them all with delicious food and drink. Even the injuries suffered during the battle were healed by Leon and Ellie.

As the third day began, the people leaving the castle were no longer the archers and hunters before, but replaced by rangers and master hunters.

However, with the joint efforts of her and Gao Shun, these rangers and hunter masters were still not enough.

At first, these gathered shooters wanted to take advantage of Gao Shun and her absence to resist, but after being disarmed, they were obviously no match for Li Ang, Ai Li, and the five moonlight deer.

After being severely punished and treated again, they became much more honest and chose to lie down.

"Lord Li Ang, no matter how stupid the other party is, he must have noticed something is wrong. Shouldn't he prepare for an ambush next?"

Looking at these shooters who were tied up and hung on the tree, fed one by one by Ellie, and then stuffed with linen cloth in their mouths, Helister asked with a strange expression.

"No hurry, just wait." Li Ang ate with a mouthful of dried meat and a mouthful of water. Hearing Helister's words, he felt confident.

"But I saw you eating leisurely here, not nervous at all, and I felt really unsure."

"We have arrested more than 20 of them now. If we come again, there will definitely not be three or two intermediate professionals."

When Helister heard this, she immediately became anxious.

"I just need them to mobilize their entire army." Glancing at the shooters who had fallen asleep after eating the rice that Ai Li added with 'stuff', Li Ang's face was full of smiles.

"If you want to lure them out to fight us, why did you transfer Phil away from you?"

Sitting down in front of Li Ang, Helister looked at him solemnly.

Although the strength of Ellie and Phil is average, Herlist has also noticed the growth of the two during this period. Although they may not be able to fight independently, supporting them is indeed not a big problem.

"Of course I have my reasons for letting him act alone. You will know why soon." Li Ang's eyes flickered while stroking his smooth chin.

"Those people took the bait." Gao Shun suddenly appeared behind Li Ang like a ghost, startling him.

"Well, Gao Shun, next time you show up, can you please stop standing behind me? My neck is a bit cold."

Touching his neck, Li Ang suddenly remembered the scene when the two first met.

Gao Shun was silent for three seconds and finally nodded.

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

In the dark dense forest, a group of archers wearing green rattan armor and carrying yew short bows on their backs rolled and jumped through the complex terrain of the forest, ignoring obstacles, like dexterous moonlight deer.

At the front of them all was a silver-haired and blue-eyed female elf wearing a green hooded cloak and brown leather armor underneath.

Unlike other archers, she carries an exquisite composite bow made of steel and yew wood on her back.

Logically speaking, using this kind of longbow in the forest would affect the movement speed, but she didn't seem to care.

If you look carefully, you can see that her breathing is steady and her body is agile. Not only is she much faster than other shooters, but she can also take time out from time to time to direct other shooters to investigate the surroundings.

He looked like he was well versed in jungle warfare.

Her name is Medea, and she is a level 55 "Jungle Warrior".

50 years ago, as a young girl, she resolutely joined Cuiting's army in order to resist the invaders of the Kingdom of Hrest. She made great achievements in battle and rose to the position of captain of the "Jungle Warriors".

After the war, she did not choose to stay in Cuiting and become a minor noble. Instead, she walked in brocade clothes at night and silently served as the ranger of Bailin Village.

In the area of ​​Yew Ridge, almost all the archers in the village asked her for archery lessons. She was respected by everyone because she had no secrets from anyone.

Later, the lord of Cedar Forest Castle invited her to serve as an archery instructor, and she did not refuse, but this was the beginning of her nightmare.

In her eyes, the shooters she trained were not just her subordinates, but like her nephews.

It was precisely because of this extraordinary emotion that she felt lost when she saw the lord of Cedar Forest Castle pushing the children she trained into the battlefield one by one.

Seeing the children she had trained with her own hands disappear one by one, she felt like an executioner, killing those children, and her heart was extremely tormented.

She was under too much mental pressure and wanted to resign from her position, but the lord told her that the purpose of letting the children go to the battlefield was to train more powerful professionals to protect the family and the country. This was for the happiness and safety of everyone in Yewwood Ridge. And consider.

She simply believed the lord's words and continued to serve him.

It was not until the lord's true nature was revealed that he not only began to withhold military pay and pensions, but even embezzled sacrifices from the gods, treating children who did not want to go to the front line as cannon fodder, and tried to lure her with gold to join the conspiracy. She finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Relying on her reputation, Medea united the professionals from all the villages under the jurisdiction of Cedar Forest Castle, expelled the lord from Yew Ridge, and threatened to kill him if he dared to come back again.

The other party did not believe in evil and brought the army of Haiyan Castle to attack Shanlin Fort, but she was quickly eliminated. She fulfilled her promise, shot the guy with her own hands, and then kept her name anonymous.

Later, she was full of hope for the successor lord, but she was betrayed again, so she expelled the lord, took on the reputation of a bandit, and decided to use her own method to save the civilians here.

After driving away the lord, she returned the forest to the people, canceled taxes, and allowed the archers she trained to take turns going to other lords' territories to serve as poachers, reducing the consumption of resources in Zishan Ridge.

Days like this have been going on for a long time, but just five days ago, something unexpected happened.

The ten archers and hunters she sent suddenly lost contact.

Originally, she thought she might have been delayed by the troops of other lords, so she once again sent out the rangers and master hunters she trained to investigate, but there was no news again.

Now, no matter how stupid she is, she knows that someone must have sneaked into Yew Ridge, but why didn't the villagers at the foot of the mountain send someone up the mountain to tell her?
