Start with Island Lord

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

On the morning of the third day, the forest elves really came to redeem the prisoners.

Rosen was not surprised at all.

Because he knew that there were many different tribes of forest elves, and 20 forest elf warriors with physical strength comparable to that of senior knights were indispensable forces for any tribe.

The Nalin tribe where Phoenix was located had lost 180 warriors. Without these 20 warriors, they would have to live with their heads down in the future.

For things like redeeming prisoners, the lord naturally did not need to come forward in person.

In the end, the 20 Crescent Knights led by Knight Commander Codlin came forward, with 100 regular warriors.

In addition, there were several clerks who were familiar with the market prices of various materials.

The exchange location agreed by both parties was on the south bank of the wooden bridge of Hanshui River, an open space with a clear view, less than 2 kilometers away from the mountain forest on the edge of the river valley.

Early in the morning, Kaudrin took Phoenix and other forest elf warriors out of the wooden cage, gave each of them a few sips of water, and then took them to the exchange site.

The warriors were still injured and hungry, so they couldn't walk far, so they were pulled all the way by an ox cart.

The exchange site was five kilometers away from Crescent City, and it would take some time to get there.

On the way, Phoenix naturally had a lot of time to observe the warriors of Crescent City.

He found that the Crescent Warriors were all wearing brand new armor, and their weapons were much better than before, and it seemed that even the war horses were much stronger.

These changes made him feel frightened and confused, and he couldn't help but think of the terrible rumors he had heard before.

Rumor has it that the baron married the Princess of Dawn, and it is also said that the princess brought a huge dowry, and it is also said that more princess guards will be stationed on the island in the future.

He didn't believe it at all before, thinking that these rumors were particularly absurd, and they must be lies released by the baron to confuse them.

But after dealing with the new Baron Rosen and observing all these details, he couldn't help but believe it.

After the ox cart had traveled a few miles in the field, he finally couldn't help it.

He turned around and shouted to the old acquaintance of the escort team: "Hey~ Farming Knight?"

Kaudrin ignored him.

"Hey~ Knight Kaudrin?"

Still no response, not even a glance.

"Knight Commander Kaudrin?!"

Kaudrin turned his eyes away now.

"If you have anything to say, say it now!"

"I heard that the baron really married Princess Chen what Chen of Weilan?"

Kaudrin snorted and laughed, with a proud face: "It's Princess Chenxi!"

"I don't believe it." Phoenix was trying hard.

Kaudrin looked indifferent: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, the forest spirits just need to wait for death in the forest."

Phoenix had heard this kind of thing many times, but in the past, human knights would roar out, but now, they said it calmly, as if narrating an indisputable fact.

This is the most terrifying.

He swallowed dryly, but felt his throat was still dry.

"Why would a big shot like Princess Weilan marry a little baron? She must be crazy."

Codlin looked at Phoenix with a country bumpkin's eyes: "What do you know?"

"People in big cities are pursuing love. If there is love, the princess will even marry a beggar, not to mention that our lord is such a talented person."

Phoenix felt that he didn't understand what he said, and couldn't help asking: "What is love?"

Codlin didn't know what love was, but as the chief knight of the human race, of course he had to maintain his image of being knowledgeable in front of the country bumpkin forest elves.

"You see a girl, you want to sleep with her, and the girl is willing to sleep with you, which means you have love."

Phoenix still didn't understand: "I see all the beautiful girls want to sleep with her, and many beautiful girls in the tribe are willing to sleep with me, why don't I feel love?"

In the weather that was about to enter winter, Codlin's forehead was sweating when he was asked.

He racked his brains to recall the love stories he had heard about big cities, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

He had no choice but to cheat: "Love is unique to our human race, you forest spirits don't know shit."

Phoenix still thought it was nonsense: "That's because you humans are crazy."

Codlin didn't bother to pay attention to him.

After walking for a while, Phoenix couldn't help asking again: "Will the princess always be on the White Sturgeon Island?"

"That's for sure, she married the baron, so of course she lives on the island. She will have to give birth to children for the baron in the future."

The more Phoenix listened, the worse it felt. His eyes subconsciously looked around the Crescent Knight, and suddenly he found a detail.

"What are you wearing on your chest? It's silver and looks good."

Codlin raised his hand and gently touched the silver amulet on his chest. His face showed a strong sense of superiority again, and at the same time he remembered the baron's previous instructions to him.

"Remember, our real opponent is the sorcery master hiding behind the scenes."

"The forest elves, the betrayed knights, and even some of the fishmen tribes are just the minions of this sorcery master."

"The reason these minions follow the sorcery master is largely because they believe that he can lead them to victory."

Codlin remembered very clearly that at this time, the baron showed an indifferent smile on his face, as if he was a god judging fate.

"So, to defeat this cunning master, the first step is to make his minions take the initiative to realize that following the master will not lead to victory, but will only lead from one failure to another, until final destruction."

These words suddenly enlightened Kaudlin, and he felt a superior wisdom far beyond what he had experienced before.

At this moment, he glanced at Phoenix again with the eyes of a country bumpkin.

"Don't you understand? This is the lightning talisman, a good treasure brought by the princess as a bride."

"With this thing, before you touch me, you will be struck by the terrible lightning, and then I will stab your throat with a sword while your head is numb!"

"In addition, your most commonly used sneak attack cold arrows are useless, because no matter how fast the arrow is, it cannot be as fast as lightning!"

Phoenix believed this because he knew that Master Weilan outside the island would do this thing, and Baron Ted had this thing.

He heard that when Joshua of the Heg tribe was sniping Ted, he was stabbed in the neck with a backhand by Ted.

Without the blessing of the dragon, Joshua's head would be gone.

But he also knew that these magical weapons were very expensive treasures, and Baron Ted was the only one on the island who had them.

Now, every knight is equipped with one, which is simply terrible.

After that, Phoenix said nothing on the road. He kept his head down and thinking about something.

About half an hour later, the ox cart pulled them across the wooden bridge of Hanshui River.

The warriors of the tribe were already waiting. There were probably more than 100 of them, each of them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Looking at the human warriors around Codling, they all looked at ease, as if they didn't take the 100 forest elf warriors in front of them seriously at all.

Phoenix was angry when he saw this: "Codling, we have about the same number of people. Even if our warriors can't defeat you, we can still cause you heavy losses!"

Codling smiled contemptuously and patted the potion bottle on his waist: "Did you see this? The hero potion that the princess brought as a dowry is just as effective as your Dragon's Blessing."

"As long as you look carefully, you will find that each of our knights has a bottle."

He patted the quiver on the side again: "We also carry sharp arrows specially designed to kill dragon warriors. As long as you dare to be cunning, I promise to keep all your people and we will be unscathed."

Phoenix's heartbeat accelerated when he heard it: "Codling, lies can't scare me."

Kaedlin sat on the horse, looking down at his old rival, the contempt in his eyes almost overflowing: "Just give it a try if you don't believe me."

Phoenix clenched his fists, feeling furious, but he didn't dare to try.

The soldier's instinct told him that Kaudrin was not lying and that he was really sure of killing them all.

The human scribe walked over and began to pick through the redemption property brought by the forest elf, while the Crescent Knights stood guard leisurely.

Phoenix was very unhappy when he saw his people and wanted to have a fit several times, but he immediately signaled to them with his eyes not to be impulsive.

Crescent City has changed, possessing power that was far from what it used to be. Their previous plans can no longer continue.

Half an hour later, the redemption process was completed.

The Lin Jing tribe paid a large amount of property, including gold, furs, gems, etc. According to the market price in Crescent City, these things cost about more than 20,000 Oggs.

But if you take these furs and gems to Shire County, the price will rise a lot. It is estimated that they can be sold for 40,000 Oggs.

The Crescent Warriors also released them as promised, and even returned the warriors' weapons.

When Phoenix was supported by his tribe and limped away, Codling's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey, country bumpkin, our lord wants me to send you a few words."

Phoenix was very dissatisfied with his old rival's sense of superiority, but there was nothing he could do about it. The opponent was now better than him.

So I could only endure this tone.

"Farming Knight, tell me if you have anything to say."

"Our lord said that the world outside the island is very broad. Don't just look at the barren island at your feet. If you let go, you will find that this world already belongs to the human race. Your resistance is just a desperate struggle."

Phoenix subconsciously wanted to refute, but was speechless, because he knew that Kaedlin was right.

He could only smile bitterly in his heart: "Do you think I'm stupid? But you have no idea how terrifying the prophet is!"

Kaedlin continued: "The second sentence is 'Princess Dawn, a kind and tolerant princess. She does not want to see the island continue to bleed, and also hopes that the hatred of all races can be eliminated. She is also a wise princess, because she is young At only 23 years old, he is already a powerful magic master.'"

After saying these words, Cowderin waved his hand: "Go back to the city."

Crescent Knight left simply.

Phoenix was also supported and continued back to the forest. He looked calm on the surface, but there was already a turmoil in his heart.
