Chapter 348 The Surviving Prairie Elf


Chapter 348 The Surviving Prairie Elf

The special nature of the Elf Village makes the herbivores on the grassland like to run here.

Although the elven village has been reduced to ruins at this time, the habits developed by the herbivores on the grassland will definitely not be changed in a short time.

This also makes this area the best hunting ground for Li Ce and others at this stage!

In order to improve their arresting efficiency, before setting off this time, Li Ce specially ordered five oxcarts to follow them, and equipped them with a certain amount of manpower to assist them in their work.

Of course, these five ox-carts were not for transporting wild horses, but for transporting herbivorous animals such as antelopes and sheep that they captured.

Although it would be worthwhile to catch more than a dozen wild horses on this trip, the more the merrier would be for harvesting this thing.

When they encountered a herd of sheep before, Li Ce and the others chose to ignore it because they needed to catch the wild horses with their bare hands.

But this time there was an ox cart waiting at the back, allowing them to move without any worries and go straight to capture.

During this period, Silk took the five elf knights under his command and moved separately to search around the elf village.

A blizzard was enough to erase all traces, which made Hilke and the others search around, but found basically nothing.

But this does not mean that Silk has no clue.

Through the elimination method, when facing the invasion of the lizardman army, we can still have a range in which directions the tribesmen would flee.

While thinking, Silk led the five elf knights under his command to launch a more in-depth search in those directions.

Time passed quietly during this process. I originally thought that today would be a waste of time.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a slightly excited voice sounded from the snow in the distance...

"Lord Silk? Lord Silk!!"

Accompanied by At that shout, a prairie elf with shabby clothes and a thin face was riding on horseback, waving his hand excitedly at him.

During this process, I don’t know if it was because he was too excited, but his vision suddenly turned black and he fell off the horse.

Silk, who had noticed the other party's presence at that time, hurried over and then dismounted to help him up.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

He had already recognized that those who fell in the snow were his tribesmen.

"No, it's okay."

After Silk helped him sit aside, the prairie elf, who had taken a breath, shook his head weakly.

“It’s just been too long since I’ve eaten.”

After confirming that the opponent was not injured, Silk breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you the only one? Where are the other tribesmen?"

Under Silk's impatient questioning, the prairie elf quickly explained their situation.

At that time, their village was attacked by a large army of lizardmen. The armored dragon broke through the defense line outside the village and entered easily. At this moment, Slavin knew that the village could not defend itself, so The order to retreat was immediately given.

At this time, the lizardmen's infantry troops were parked on the outside because they had been traveling day and night, while the cavalry was annihilated by Li Ce and Silk. The only ones that attacked were the armored dragons and the giant lizards. , this is the perfect time to withdraw.

They pulled all the remaining horses in the village over, and Slavin got on one of them, but he had no intention of evacuating with the first group of people.

The situation in the village was chaotic at that time. They were suddenly attacked and they were all running for their lives at this moment.

Unlike other races, the Elf tribe has a sparse population. They attach great importance to the life of every tribe member, and Slavin, the leader of the tribe, is no exception.

At this time, he was the only one who could stabilize the emotions of the tribesmen, so he turned around resolutely and returned to the village to direct the tribesmen to evacuate.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked and killed by multiple monitor lizards.

The grassland elves who had already escaped on horseback did not dare to stay any longer and kept on traveling all night.

In the end, I was pretty lucky and found a hilly area before the blizzard swept through. We survived the blizzard with the help of that natural shelter.

But the situation was urgent at that time, and they basically didn’t bring much food with them. When the blizzard started blowing, they couldn’t go outside to look for food. Made it through.

After the blizzard passed, while hurriedly sending people to look for food, I thought that Hilke and the others were not in the village at the time and might have survived, so I quickly sent people back to confirm the situation.

And he was indeed lucky, and he happened to bump into Silke who was looking for them.

If they fail to find Silk on this trip and cannot solve the food problem, then they will most likely have to kill horses for meat this time.

After a preliminary understanding of the situation, Silk knew that the next thing could not be solved by just a few of them, so he quickly asked one of his subordinates to inform Li Ce. Condition.

At that time, Li Ce and the others had just completed a round of arrests against the wild horses.

I was thinking of catching some sheep or antelopes, but today’s work is over, especially sheep!

Their leader has already said that sheep are an important resource, so they can get as many as they can.

As a result, Silk's men came running over.

As for the prairie elves, they were given life-saving favors before the Great Zhou Dynasty and various financial aids later. From the current point of view, it will not be easy for them to repay them.

The most fearful thing about giving favors to others is encountering white-eyed wolves and shameless people, so it will basically be in vain.

The prairie elves are obviously not included in this list. This race has always had a high self-esteem, and at the same time they also attach great importance to face and cannot do anything shameless.

Therefore, his attitude was very sincere and he asked for his help.

Hilk's ability to find the surviving prairie elves so quickly was undoubtedly a good thing for them.

After calling a soldier and giving a few instructions, he motioned to the elf knight to lead the way, and the group arrived soon.

"How many elves are there?"

Li Ce, who came over, asked this question straight to the point.

It was getting late now, and if they worked harder, they might not be able to return to the village before dark.

Silk knew that Li Ce wanted to arrange transportation, and he was also aware of the current situation. He had already understood the situation with his tribe before Silke came over.

“Nineteen tribesmen have survived, but their location is a little far away from here. I’m afraid we won’t be able to go back before dark.”

Afterwards Silk I couldn't help but add another sentence.

“But there are still some horses over there. They escaped on horseback, but I don’t know if they can still eat and ride for a long time...”

When talking about the latter part, Hilke's tone became obviously weak. Considering the distance from there to Prairie Village, in his opinion, it was probably too much to bear.

After understanding the situation, Li Ce fell into a brief thought

Considering the current time and situation, there are two choices before Li Ce.

One is to spend one night at the temporary camp of the prairie elves, and then rush back to the village early the next morning.

The other one is rushing back to the village overnight.

"You go back to the village first to inform and bring back the captured wild horses."

After giving simple instructions to the soldiers beside him, Li Ce turned to look at Hilke.

"We will move as quickly as possible to pick up your people and return to the village overnight."

An update is here. Thank you to the book friend "Galaxy Wasteland" for the reward!
