"Marshal, the plan is going very well." On the fourth night of the war, McCain began to report to Li Huailin, "We went to a lot of villages, but there was no one in those places. We burned the village and came back. It seemed that the other party had sent out some kind of evacuation notice. Before we went there, the people inside had already run away. Occasionally, there were a few villages that didn't escape, but we also burned them and let the people escape. "
"Isn't that good? It saves us the trouble of fighting." Li Huailin nodded. "That's true. Thinking about it, the enemy should be afraid of us after we looted so many villages. That's not bad. How far are we from the main city of elves?"
"According to the current marching speed … more than three days," Maccon said.
"We don't have enough time just to get there." Li Huailin said. "It seems that we need to speed up … I'll go talk to our captive. How is she now? Is she awake?"
"She has been treated with healing spells. She should be awake now, but she hasn't spoken yet," Maccon said.
"Oh, alright. I'll go and take a look." Li Huailin nodded. "I'll go by myself. Maccon, you go and do your work."
"Yes, Marshal." Macken nodded. There were a lot of things waiting to be done now. Selena should be safe here. Macken nodded and said.
Although Selena was the enemy's general, she was the only captive, so Li Huailin didn't spend much time on her. He treated her wounds and threw her into a small dark room. He sent two people to check on her. Since the Silver Wind Guards had been annihilated, it didn't matter if she ran away. However, Li Huailin didn't expect someone to be faster than him.
Selena was currently locked up in a house. The 2nd Legion's current location was a small elven village. Of course, everyone had been chased away, and Selena was locked up in a small house.
Selena was seriously injured, and without the help of the priests, she almost couldn't be saved. She was also chained up and couldn't move. She was no different from a dead person now. She lay in the room with her eyes open. Although she was awake, she didn't move. Until now, she still couldn't believe it. The Silverwind Guards had a history of at least a thousand years since the establishment of the Elven Empire. They had gone through ups and downs, but they had never been defeated so miserably as today. She was the only one left from the 100,000 troops that she had brought with her. To be honest, Selena really wanted to die in battle with her subordinates. What was the point of living like this?
A soft sound came from the broken wooden door. Someone must have come in, but Selena didn't look back. The person who came in must be someone from the 2nd Division. Anyway, it didn't matter what they did to her now. All she wanted now was to die.
"Sister …" A soft voice sounded in the little dark room. Selena's expression changed. She turned around and saw her sister, Vanessa Cuifeng, standing in front of her.
"Vanessa?" Selena finally reacted. Why was Vanessa here? But on second thought, it made sense. She heard that the new human regime was established by Anthony, the boss of the Nasser Bandits in the north. Previously, Selena had also found out that her sister, Vanessa, was also a member of this bandit group. She had even sent people to bring her back, but later on, she heard that her sister had been conferred the title of Earl of the Empire and was living a good life, so she gave up. But she didn't expect to meet her under such circumstances.
Vanessa was also sad. She didn't have amnesia like Anthony. Although she was chased out by her family, she didn't hate her sister, especially when she saw Selena in this state. In her impression, her sister was the most outstanding in everything. She was heroic and courageous, and she had been her goal since she was young. But now, this woman lying on the ground in a daze, Vanessa really found it hard to associate her with her sister.
"Vanessa, are you here to mock me …?" Selena suddenly said. "I regret it now … If I had given you the position of captain of the Silverwind Guards, I don't think the Silverwind Guards would be in this state now … I was too conceited back then. That's why I'm in this state now …"
"No, Sister …" Vanessa said. "Even if you gave it to me, the result would be the same. Huailin is too strong … I should have come earlier. At least, I could have persuaded him … but the leader wouldn't let me …"
After the previous battle, Vanessa was conferred the title of a countess, and became the only female countess of the empire. Her position was still in the intelligence department. However, after the declaration of war against the elves, Anthony let Vanessa go home to rest for the time being in consideration of her emotions. However, she still sneaked out to see if she could stop the war and meet Li Huailin. Unfortunately, before she could reach Li Huailin's camp, the outcome of the battle was already out. The 100,000 troops were all reduced to ashes within an hour.
Vanessa suffered the most. Anthony had been very kind to her. He saved her when she was at her lowest point and was about to be captured as a slave. Then, he made her the countess of the empire. As for the elves, although some of her family members didn't treat her well and even chased her out, she was ultimately still an elf. No matter who won or lost, she didn't want to see it. The final outcome was out. When Vanessa heard that Li Huailin was the commander, she had a bad feeling. However, she didn't expect the outcome to be decided so quickly.
"That b * stard … I must kill him." At the mention of Li Huailin, Selena clenched her fists again. In her opinion, Li Huailin was the main culprit. Humans and elves had been living in harmony for a hundred years, but this guy started a war the moment he arrived. Not only that, he even wanted to kill civilians. She only hated herself for being defeated by this demon and becoming a captive.
"Huailin is an adventurer. It's useless even if you kill him a hundred times," Vanessa said.
"If I can't kill him a hundred times, I'll kill him a thousand times. I'll kill him until he dies …" Selena said coldly.
"Really?" A voice rang out, startling the two sisters who were chatting inside. The wooden door opened, and Li Huailin pushed it open and entered. When Li Huailin was at the door, he saw two guards lying unconscious on the ground. He wanted to see if anyone was coming to save Selena, but then he heard this sentence from outside the door. Isn't this great? My leveling for the rest of my life is going to depend on this guy.
"Eh? Vanessa? " Seeing the elf standing beside Selena, Li Huailin was stunned. However, Li Huailin suddenly remembered something. He seemed to have heard about this when he was in the North. The Silverwind Guards seemed to want to capture Vanessa and bring her back. In the end, he had to complete a quest to save her.
"Ugh, Huailin …" Vanessa was a little nervous when she saw Li Huailin. He had sneaked into the army camp to save his sister, but Li Huailin bumped into him. How could she not be nervous?
"It's you, demon! Let me go! I'm going to kill you! "Selena suddenly began to struggle violently.
"Sister!" Vanessa quickly pulled Selena back. Selena was now Li Huailin's prisoner of war. He could kill her as he pleased. If Li Huailin was in a bad mood, he would stab her. Threatening him now was equivalent to suicide.
"Eh? This is your sister? " Although Li Huailin knew that Vanessa was related to the Silverwind Guards, he did not expect Selena to be Vanessa's sister. The two sisters did not look alike. In general, Selena was too beautiful, and Vanessa was a little ordinary in comparison.
"Yes …" Vanessa nodded. "Huailin … I have a favor to ask."
"Oh, tell me. I'm very easy to talk to," Li Huailin said.
"Please let my sister go … I beg you …" Vanessa said.
"Don't beg her. Kill me if you can!" Selena shouted.
"Alright, no problem," Li Huailin replied immediately.
"Eh?" That was a little too easy. Selena was the enemy's general. Although the Silverwind Guards were all gone, there were still the Silverwind Royal Guards in the city. Was it okay to let her go?
"The war is ending soon anyway. These prisoners of war will be sold back to the elves at the price of pork. Your sister is probably less than 50 kilograms, so she can't be sold for much. I'll give her to you," Li Huailin said as he spread his hands.
"The war is ending soon?" Vanessa asked. "Really?"
"Impossible. You killed so many elven warriors and civilians. Do you think Her Highness will let you go? Don't even think about it! "Selena shouted.
"Whatever. Anyway, if we continue to fight like this, the Elf Race will be exterminated." Li Huailin said. "If you want to fight, I can fight with you. But I think your queen will beg me to stop the war."
"That's impossible …" Just as Selena was about to say something, she was stopped by Vanessa. Vanessa knew that Li Huailin wouldn't talk nonsense. She immediately asked, "Huailin, what's wrong?"
"I forced all the elves around the city into the city. No matter how much food the city has, the entire city will starve to death in three to four months. On the other hand, we have plenty of food. It's enough for us to eat for a few years. Who do you think will win?" Li Huailin said.
"This …" Vanessa's heart sank. A city of people starving to death …
"Although you defeated the Silverwind Guards, the elves still have the second and third legions. It's impossible to trap us to death, "Selena immediately said.
"So you didn't count the time … This is after the autumn harvest … Don't you think there are fewer fixed programs compared to the previous years?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"The Orcs are invading?" Vanessa was the first to react.
