212 – Capturing the Elves
High-end slaves like elves, when captured by the slave hunters, generally couldn’t be touched as one wished in order to prevent the elves from being ruined or even killed and have the investment of the slave hunt go down the drain.
In order to capture the pair of pureblood elves, Nancy and Nanni, the slave hunters had penetrated deep into the Elven Woods. In the end, they lost dozens of people before fleeing back. If the leader of those slave hunters were to leave the pair of elves for himself to enjoy, then his subordinates would definitely tear him apart.
Many slave hunters were small groups formed of scum and criminals. It was not uncommon for these groups to have uneven distributions of loot, which would be followed by infighting.
Elven virgins could be sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins per individual, while non-virgin elves could only be sold for hundreds or 1,000 to 2,000 gold coins. The gap between the two was extremely terrifying. Those who could afford to purchase elves for hundreds of thousands of gold coins were top tycoons. Those tycoons weren’t afraid of spending money, they were afraid of purchasing subpar products.
Under such circumstances, many of the slave hunters had never tasted an elf. Now that Gerald promised to let them play with an elf, they immediately went mad.
Hearing the obscenities coming from the slave hunters, the pretty faces of the elves turned cold and a fierce fury ignited in their beautiful eyes.
“Fire!” Belinda’s eyes flashed with a frigid glint and she barked.
The 300 elven archers shot a volley of arrows enveloped in qi at the slave hunters.
Alike a tract of wheat, a part of the slave hunters suddenly fell and blood sprinkled about.
In a volley, over 100 human warriors met their death under the elven archers’ arrows.
The slave hunters were very experienced. They pulled apart their formations and madly rushed at the elves from all sides.
These warriors were the private troops Gerald’s and Artais’ families. They have experienced countless battles and were extremely fierce. Knowing that only by staying close to the elves could they get a chance to survive, they madly rushed towards the elves.
The elven archers fired twice at will and alike mowing grass, killed over 300 human warriors.
The 300 elven archers abandoned their bows and drew extremely delicate elven swords from their waists. Their eyes flashed with a glint of indignation as they coldly watched the human warriors.
The 300 hundred elven warriors were powerhouses who worked hard on their martial skills. Each individual had the cultivation base of a Knight rank and had cultivated qi. There were even plenty Great Knight rank and Earth Knight rank powerhouses.
Belinda and Karina were even Firmament Knight rank powerhouses. Led by the both of them, these elven warriors weren’t afraid to fight the humans at close quarters.
An Apprentice Wizard hiding among the human warriors rushing at the elves took out a pouch and opened it, cast the level-0 spell Mage Hand, took the pouch into the air, and shook it vigorously.
Dragon fecal powder flew out of the pouch.
The Apprentice Wizard silently recited an incantation and a cool breeze blew the dragon fecal powder towards the elves.
When the wildebeests below the elves sensed the dragon fecal powder, they suddenly went mad and started frantically running and jumping about, breaking the elves’ formation.
The human warriors were prepared and jumped down from their mounts. At the same time, they took out many jars, opened them, and vigorously waved them at the elves, launching a mixture of lime and sand at them.
10 Apprentice Wizards cast a spell simultaneously and pointed at the mixture of lime and sand.
Gusts of winds suddenly appeared and the vast expanse of lime and sand swept toward the elves.
Caught unprepared, the elves were swept by the lime and sand, and couldn’t open their eyes, let alone attack the enemy.
The human warriors seized this opportunity to take out nets and throw them at the elves, trapping them.
Those nets had a special property – once trapped by them, the more the elves struggled, the tighter the nets would entangle them.
“Pretty good. Sure enough, humans are the most proficient at using tools to their advantage against stronger races.” A low voice echoed in the clouds.
“Despicable! You despicable humans!!” Belinda covered her face with a hand, roared indignantly, jumped down from her wildebeest, and rushed into the crowd of humans. The elven sword in her hand released terrifying qi, chopping the human slave hunters in two.
To those human warriors, a Firmament Knight rank powerhouse was practically an unparalleled existence. Wherever she passed through, no human could resist Belinda’s sword. Over 20 human warriors died to her sword in just a dozen breaths of time.
The slave hunters didn’t dare to fight Belinda head-on, so they kept throwing nets, lime, and sand at her.
Belinda urged her qi and the elven sword in her hand released a green radiance. Wherever the qi passed, the special nets would be cut in two by her sword.
“Stay your hand! Female elf over there! If you don’t stop, I’ll kill her!!” A voice came from the side.
When Belinda turned around, she saw Karina, who was entangled by nets, struggle in pain. There was a long sword resting on her neck. The owner of the sword, Artais, sneered at Belinda repeatedly.
Although Karina had the cultivation of a Firmament Knight rank, but she was really lacking in terms of actual combat experience. Having been blinded by lime and sand and then covered by nets, she was captured by those slave hunters before managing to exhibit her formidable strength.
Artais’ eyes flashed with excitement and he shouted: “This female elf has blond hair, she should be a member of the Elven Empire’s royal sun elves. Besides, she is so beautiful, she should be of the Krossdale Family, whose members are famous for their god-like beauty and might be of divine bloodline. Ha-ha, continue to resist and I’ll kill her!”
The Elven Empire’s elves were divided into grass elves, forest elves, earth elves, fire elves, water elves, gold elves, wood elves, and other different kinds of elves. Among elves, the royals were divided into sun elves and moonlight elves. The sun elves had dazzling, pure, golden hair. Moonlight elves had beautiful, graceful, mysterious, silver hair.
Among elves, males were handsome and females were beautiful. However, sun elves and moonlight elves were most doted by the Elven Primary God Mofeceraja. The sun elves’ Krossdale Family and the moonlight elves’ Remonfen Family were reputed to possess divine looks. The females of both families were peerless beauties.
There was once a Krossdale Family’s female elf walking the continent, with whom the emperors of the Morrince Empire and the Titan Empire were infatuated with and for the sake of whom a 100-year-long war swept the entire continent.
Finally, a god of the Zaliah divine system went personally to the Elven Primary God Mofeceraja to seek this peerless elven beauty.
At the cost of defecting his divine system and joining the elven divine system, he took that Krossdale Family’s peerless beauty as his wife.
The defection of that Zaliah divine system’s god gave rise to tensions between the elven divine system and Zaliah divine system. It took over 100 years for the tensions to fade away.
After this, the Krossdale Family’s peerless looks became famous in the whole world. Practically all human regents prided themselves in obtaining the Krossdale Family’s peerless beauties. Reportedly, the Krossdale Family were the divine descendants and had the bloodline of the Elven Primary God Mofeceraja. They had an extremely esteemed status in the Elven Empire.
When Belinda saw that Karina was captured, she suddenly felt like being submerged in a mire and her mind was in disarray. Karina was not a member of this combat troop. At the time, she couldn’t stand Karina’s pleading. She felt that she was strong enough to protect her. If Karina were to meet with any accidents, then even her family might be implicated.
Belinda was so distracted that a bit of lime mixed with sand hit her eyes and over a dozen nets suddenly swept towards her.
Belinda was shocked, yet she wasn’t panicked. She stimulated her extremely formidable qi to strengthen her hearing, ready to struck at the nets with her sword.
“Drowsy!” An Apprentice Wizard tore a level-1 magic scroll and pointed toward Belinda.
Belinda suddenly felt extreme exhaustion assault her mind and she wanted to sleep. However, the Firmament Knight rank qi strengthened her body and prevented her from falling asleep right away. Once she bit her lips and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, she stimulated her qi and forcibly sobered up.
“Drowsy!” Another Apprentice Wizard tore a magic scroll and pointed at Belinda.
Belinda felt extreme exhaustion assault her mind once more and bit her lips again. Suddenly, she felt herself get slightly heavy. The nets had already landed on her.
Over 30 warriors flocked over with nets to firmly tie Belinda up!
Warriors with nets kept rushing over, throwing nets at Belinda, and firmly enveloping her.
Following Belinda's humiliating capture, the 300 elves were also captured by the slave hunters. While all smiles, the slave hunters swept the elves’ bodies with obscene gazes and they revealed lascivious smiles.
Although the slave hunters had close to 1,000 casualties, yet the capture of 300 elves was definitely extremely profitable.
