Unlike the Human Race, the Elven slave hunters' stronghold wasn't located in the city. Compared to the Human Race, the Elves had a deeper sense of race. Of course, it was possible to find a few traitors, but it was a bit troublesome to bribe the City Lord to set up a stronghold in the city. The Yaffler slave hunters had tried many times, but in the end, they chose to set up a stronghold outside the city. This stronghold was near Segalars City. First of all, this city was close to the border between the three races. Second, this place was relatively barren, so they couldn't develop. Segalars City was only a very small city, so there wasn't much of an army. This kind of chaotic place was better for them to develop.
The Elven stronghold was also completely different from the previous stronghold. This was because it looked like an ordinary Elven village. In fact, it didn't look like this village had anything to do with the evil slave hunters. If Sodero wasn't one of them, they wouldn't have discovered him.
According to Sodero, everyone in the village was a member of the Yaffler slave hunters. And the Village Head was the person they were looking for. He was one of the leaders of the Yaffler slave hunters. His name was Wright Candace. This name sounded a bit strange. He wasn't an Elf, but a Human. It seemed a bit strange for a Human to be the Village Head of the Elven Village. However, this was the border between the three races, so this kind of situation was normal.
Candace's recent days weren't very good. The Yaffler slave hunters' financial situation wasn't very good either. Otherwise, Sodero wouldn't have happened. In the end, not only did they fail, but Sodero was also captured. The higher-ups also notified the Yaffler slave hunters to keep a low profile. However, the problem was that they had no money. Candace couldn't go around spending money, so he could only stay in the stronghold and see if he could get some small orders.
However, he didn't even have a small order recently. The war between the Beastmen and the Elves hadn't ended yet, and the border regions had been deserted for a long time. He couldn't catch anyone even if he wanted to, and the humans didn't dare to go there, nor did they dare to make any big moves. Candace felt like he was being forced into a corner. But he couldn't just disband it. Without the Yaffler Slave Hunting Team, he was nothing. He could only continue to think of ways to keep it going.
"Village Chief, Village Chief." Just as he was worrying, a subordinate rushed into his room. Of course, he called Candace village chief, which was his usual disguise.
"Clifford, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious? "
"There are a few people coming from Segalars City. It seems that they are coming to our village." The man named Clifford reported. Because there was basically no one in the vicinity now, there were not many people in Segarars City. This was also considered a border area. Those who could afford it had run inland because of the war. Those who could not run away were also a few people who really had no place to stay. Therefore, it was very strange for a team from Segarars City to come to their side. The sentries immediately came back to report to Candace.
"Oh?" Candace also became serious. "How many people?"
"A total of five." Clifford immediately replied.
"Five people?" Candace was taken aback for a moment before he laughed. "It's just five people. They're not here to capture us. As for their motives, we can just go up and ask them."
"Oh, yes." Clifford thought about it and agreed. He pretended to be a villager and went up to ask the other party's purpose. So, he accepted the order and went out.
Candace did not take it to heart because there were still many such things. It was possible that the other party went the wrong way. The general situation was to find someone to go up and ask. If they went the wrong way, he would be kind enough to show them the way. Of course, if the other party was valuable, he could just capture them and sell them. However, at this time, Candace did not intend to capture people indiscriminately. After all, the situation was tense. If he captured people near his stronghold, it might be very troublesome. He would just send them away.
Candace did not expect to wait for Clifford's report, but the village alarm, which meant that there was an invasion. Hearing the bell, Candace rushed out immediately.
"What's going on?" Candace immediately asked a subordinate.
"Sir Candace, there is an invasion!" The subordinate here immediately said.
"A few people from Segarars City?" Candace asked. "Where's Clifford?"
"Sir Clifford was slashed to death by the other party." The subordinate also said anxiously, "The other party is now coming here."
"What?" Candace was also shocked. The other party was really coming for him. What was their purpose? Candace had not figured out why they were targeting him, but the important thing now was to quickly deal with the current situation. After thinking about it, now that the alarm had sounded, there was nothing more to say. They could only fight. Everything else could wait until the other party was killed.
The strength of the Yaffler slave hunters' stronghold was, of course, good. Candace himself was very strong. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach this position. Although the group of people under him looked like ordinary villagers, they were actually well-trained warriors. When the alarm sounded, everyone immediately took out their weapons from their homes and then gathered at the village gate. Of course, Candace immediately rushed over.
"Sir Candace, several people have died in our outpost." Seeing Candace coming over, someone immediately reported to Candace.
"What?" Candace was slightly surprised. These outposts were also well-trained Thieves, but they were actually killed by the other party. Could it be that the people who came this time were very powerful?
"They're here!" Before Candace could figure out who was looking for trouble with him, the other party had already appeared in front of them. Candace immediately glanced at them. Sure enough, there were five people, and one of them was someone he knew. "Sodero! You actually … "
Candace looked at Sodero in surprise. He also understood how his position was discovered. Very few people knew about this place. Only his subordinates and the captains of the other two squads knew about it. Sodero was one of them. Although he knew that Sodero was captured, he did not expect Sodero to betray the organization. Moreover, he actually personally led a team here. This guy …
Originally, he wanted to question Sodero about what was going on, but seeing that the other party's hands were already covered in blood, he knew that talking nonsense was useless. Candace frowned and directly shouted, "Go, get rid of them. Leave Sodero to me."
Candace was also aware of Sodero's strength. Naturally, he was used to thinking that Sodero was the strongest among them. He didn't pay attention to the others at all. He raised his sword and rushed towards Sodero. Although he hadn't fought Sodero before, he felt that he wouldn't lose to him.
Seeing that Candace had already rushed forward, his subordinates naturally also rushed forward. They didn't even know who Sodero was, so they directly raised their swords and rushed forward. Then …
"Peng!" The dozen or so people who had just arrived were blown away. They were obviously strong men who weighed several hundred kilograms, but they were all sent flying in the air like rag dolls. Then, they fell to the ground, making all kinds of "Peng Peng Peng" sounds of falling and cracking bones.
Everyone stopped and stood in their original position. Of course, it wasn't because they were hit by magic, but because they were stunned. What was going on? Why did the people in front of them suddenly fly away? When they recovered, there were already more than a dozen dead people lying on the ground.
"There are actually people who dare to rush forward. Good." Li Huailin also took a step forward and said, "Come, come, quickly deal with them. Wait … Something's not right. Go easy on them … At least leave a few …"
Before Li Huailin finished speaking, the four people beside him rushed forward. The four of them had a deep hatred for these illegal slave hunters, so they were especially ruthless in their attacks. Naturally, the difference in strength was also very big. It was like four wolves jumping into a flock of sheep. The sheep didn't know how to react before falling to the ground one by one.
"Hey, hey, let him stay," Li Huailin immediately shouted.
"Who are you …" Candace couldn't help but ask. However, before he could finish speaking, Candace suddenly got hit in the chest. He didn't see how he got hit at all. He didn't even know who hit him, but Candace suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, his body spun in the air before falling to the ground. In an instant, he felt that he didn't even have the strength to resist.
Of course, the one who attacked was Melgines. After dealing with Candace with one punch, he looked down and confirmed that Candace was not dead. Then, he continued to deal with the others. Although he had killed a few of them before, under Li Huailin's reminder, he still started to control them. In other words, he beat them until they were almost dead.
Candace was seriously injured by a punch. He lay on the ground and could hardly move. Before he could catch his breath, he felt himself being pulled up again. Candace looked up and saw that the person who pulled him was a human adventurer. Judging from the situation just now, he seemed to be the leader of these people.
Candace wanted to ask who he was, but he didn't even have the strength to speak. However, Li Huailin was able to speak.
"Brother, you should be the boss here, right?" Li Huailin asked as he held Candace. "May I ask … which constellation are you?"
"Huh?" Candace, who was on the other side, forgot to vomit blood. After a while, he said in a daze, "Scorpio …"
"So, you know why you were beaten up." After saying that, Li Huailin raised his fist and punched Candace to the ground again. Candace spat out another mouthful of blood, but he still didn't understand what was going on …
