Half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the village, and Zhang Tie and Ah Shou led a large group of people to kill.
Seeing that the battle was over, after discussing with Chen Yang, Ah Shou led half of the people to meet Li Mufan.
In a dense forest dozens of miles away from the village, a carriage was surrounded by dozens of human soldiers. The wheels had been shot down by bows and arrows, and seven or eight goblin corpses lay on the ground.
On the carriage, the elf man held a long sword and looked at Li Mufan with resentment and fear.
"Human! What do you want to do? Do you know the consequences of attacking the princess?"
"Consequence?"
Li Mufan laughed. "We are country folk; we don't care so much. You keep calling me 'princess'; why didn't I see it?"
"How dare you! Can you see the princess whenever you want?"
Although he was roaring, it was obvious that he had restrained his fierceness.
"Lingfei, stop talking."
A calm female voice came from the carriage, and a young woman in a green robe slowly walked out.
This woman had skin as white as snow and a beautiful face. At first glance, she looked like a beauty of the human race, but her long, pointed ears were different from those of humans.
Her face looked a little pale, as if she were seriously injured.
She said lightly, "This human warrior, I am the princess of the elves you want to see. I wonder why you are chasing me?"
Although her tone was polite, there was a sense of contempt.
Li Mufan looked at the elf princess unscrupulously and said with a smile, "I have heard that the elves are handsome and pretty. Today I see that they are indeed extraordinary."
"I am not talented. I would like to invite the princess to stay in the mountain village for a few days. What do you think?"
The princess said, "You are joking. My tribe has always been kind to you humans. You pretended to be the Yaksha tribe to attack my caravan last time, and now you want to detain me. I wonder what you want to do?"
"Yaksha tribe? Isn't it a branch of the sea tribe? What's the matter with pretending to be a Yaksha to attack?"
Li Mufan was slightly stunned, and his mind turned quickly, thinking of a possibility.
He sneered and said, "Treating our human race as slaves, exploiting them at will, and asking them to pay tribute— is it also kind and righteous?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Liu Long, arrest them!"
"You!"
Before the princess and the elf man could speak, the soldiers rushed up, tied them up, and threw them on horseback.
Human Village
On the way, Li Mufan and his party met Ah Shou, who came to support them. They joined forces and returned to the village.
In the open space in the village, Li Mufan began to give orders.
"Liu Long, your combat team and Zhang Tie's stone-cutting team will immediately wipe out the goblin tribe. Remember, take more prisoners."
"Yes!"
Zhang Tie was immediately excited when he heard that there was a battle.
Cutting stones is not as interesting as cutting goblins!
"The rest of you, follow me to escort the princess's carriage back to the mountain!"
After that, just as he was about to leave, Liu Long whispered in his ear, "Master, the elf princess is extraordinary. There are many people here. If the news leaks out, I'm afraid it will be..."
Li Mufan frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Why not move all the villagers here back to the camp? On the one hand, it can prevent the news from leaking out, and on the other hand, it can also increase the labor force of the base."
Li Mufan looked at the thousands of villagers panting in the open space and hesitated.
After a moment, he nodded and said, "That's the only way. You lead the troops first, and I'll take care of things here."
"Yes!"
