"This...was that cave tribe used to be?"

Looking at the dilapidated ruins in front of him, Cynthia's voice was a hint of unimaginable.

Keynes frowned and nodded. He looked around vigilantly, then walked forward and began to check the scene.

On the ground, a faint blood stain could still be vaguely identified, but it had completely turned into black.

The entire ruin seemed to have been turned over, and it was in a mess.

"There has been a battle here, I'm afraid... it's been at least three months, and judging from the traces at the scene, it's like a village robbed by bandits, with nothing left. The cave tribe is probably destroyed."

Keynes said in a deep voice.

"It's been three months..."

Cynthia murmured, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

The largest orc tribe near the Elf Forest was actually destroyed silently three months ago. After so long, there was no news around!

What exactly did they... encounter?

What happened here...?

Moreover, it is just a poor orc tribe. What good things can be found? Someone actually robs them of junk?

The more the two mercenary commanders thought deeply, the more they felt vigilant, but at the same time they felt very puzzled.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the cave tribe seemed to have experienced attacks from bandits, and they were also powerful bandits who quietly destroyed them.

But... this is a half-orc!

What are the things they have to grab for?

And... here is the orcs nearby, where did the bandits come from?

"Is it... a black dragon? Or, it was made by the black dragon's family race?"

Cynthia asked.

"Black Dragon... a minor black dragon should not have the ability to destroy the rock cave tribe silently. A tribe that can quietly destroy the orcs... This is probably a very cruel force, and... the population is probably very large!"

Keynes said with a frown.

After hearing Cairns' words, Cynthia's brow frowned even deeper.

She looked around again, and suddenly her expression changed:

"Look! There are still many footprints here!"

Cairns stood up and looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed saw dense and messy footprints.

The footprints seem to be human, and there are also some monsters mixed in, and there are many.

The traces of these footprints are very new, as if they were just left.

"This is a new footprint, absolutely no more than one day!"

Cynthia murmured.

Keynes narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly stretched out his feet and gestured with his footprints.

"Um?"

After a moment, he let out a light eh.

"What's wrong?"

Cynthia asked curiously.

Keynes' expression was a little surprised, a little doubt, and a little surprise:

"These footprints... seem to belong to the elves!"

"Elf?!"

Cynthia was slightly stunned.

After listening to the other party's words, she looked carefully and found some characteristics that only elves had.

Both mercenary groups have done elves and hunted elves. They are still very capable of distinguishing the elves' footprints. After looking at them carefully, they really found that they were different.

"It really seems to be the footprints of the elves! But... where did so many elves come from? Could it be those who were deceived by the southern nobles before?"

Cynthia was both surprised and confused.

The surprise is that if there are really elves here, then they may have made a big profit again, and the doubt is that these footprints... seem to be too many.

Cairns was about to say something, but suddenly heard a loud dragon roar from a distance...

They subconsciously raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a black castle on the distant hillside.

No, that's no longer an ancient castle.

I saw a circle of solid city walls built outside the castle. The city walls looked very new, and I am afraid that it would not take long to complete it.

Even the castle seems to have been carefully repaired.

And a mighty black dragon was hovering over the castle.

"Black Dragon's Nest!"

The two of them had a bright light.

Just now, they were shocked by the ruins in front of them, but they didn't find the Black Dragon Nest they had been looking for right in front of them!

However, before they could be happy, their expressions became serious almost in an instant...

The repaired castle, the destroyed cave tribe, and the dense footprints of suspected elves...

It seemed that he had thought of something, and the leader of the two mercenary groups almost subconsciously looked around.

The cave tribe is built against the mountains, with a low terrain, and the other three sides are dense forests, which look like a pocket.

This terrain...if something happens, it seems not very good.

The two of them had this idea almost at the same time.

And at this time, a breeze suddenly blew.

I saw countless birds flying out of the forest, chirping, as if they were frightened...

"not good!"

In an instant, the two mercenary corps leaders stood up almost at the same time.

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a whizzing sound of breaking the wind. A series of arrows flashing with the glory of skills flew out from the surrounding forests, directly at the mercenaries gathered next to the ruins of the cave tribes.

These arrows were so caught off guard that the mercenaries on the periphery were caught in arrows before they could come back to their senses.

After a meeting, dozens of mercenaries fell to the ground with no idea of ​​life or death.

For a moment, the mercenaries gathered here immediately began to riot.

"Ambushes! This is an ambush! We have been trapped!"

Almost at the same time, the two team leaders realized what was going on.

They were shocked and angry, suspicious and horrified.

And just after the arrow fell, a burst of crazy and enthusiastic shouts rang out from all around.

Accompanied by the chaos of excitement such as "Ula!" "Oh ala!", and tall figures suddenly rushed out of the surrounding forest.

Gorgeous equipment, handsome or beautiful faces, are actually elves!

"Elf?!"

Seeing hundreds of elves suddenly popping out, the mercenaries' expressions were very wonderful.

But soon, this excitement turned into excitement.

Elf!

They actually met the elves!

And... these elves rushed towards them stupidly!

The Lord of Eternity is above, these are shining golden pounds!

Even though dozens of companions were shot to death by the elves, when they saw these elves, the mercenaries' original panic and confused quickly turned into excitement.

Which mercenary led by Maple Leaf has not participated in the elves hunting?

They are very familiar with such long ears that are weak in combat, timid but priceless.

In other words, the archery technique is better, and the melee combat is too weak to be weaker!

However, this subconscious thought lasted only less than a few seconds.

Because they soon discovered the weirdness of these elves.

The images of these elves are completely different from those of the mercenaries.

They waved their weapons, yelled, surrounded, cheered like a group of madmen.

And when they looked at the mercenary, they were like seeing the wild wolf in prey!

Fierce, excited, crazy...

Such eyes made the mercenaries take a step back unconsciously.

And just when the mercenaries were in amazement.

There were countless figures jumping out of the forest with shouts one after another...

Their shouts were deafening and their figures were dense.

The expressions of the two team leaders were instantly solemn.

In their vision, a fully armed elves appeared!
