Chapter 422: A group of elves
The soldier's words made the soldiers beside the bonfire all nervous. Several soldiers stood up at the same time, and their steel swords were pulled out from their scabbards.
"I also feel that there seems to be something looking at me in the forest."
"Do you feel it?"
One of the soldiers whispered, "are we giving them a warning?"
"Don't be silly!" Another soldier said, "The commander will beat us."
"Who is going to get close to the forest to have a look?" A soldier said.
"Don't say such words." Another soldier said, "generally speaking, if you go around the forest with a torch at this time, you will be knocked down by a dark monster and instantly dragged into the forest. Your companions don't even have time to save you."
The soldiers next to him nodded at the same time, feeling that it was reasonable.
"Throw the torch into the forest from afar."
"That's a good plan!"
More than a dozen soldiers walked to the edge of the forest together. They were professional soldiers recruited by Elsie. Some of them were native people of Westwind Town, and some were prisoners from the desert kingdom. After several months of training, they were far stronger than ordinary soldiers. It could be said that they were not professional soldiers.
Therefore, their caution in the face of unknown enemies was unusual. Although there were only a dozen night guards, they also showed good quality. The four men in the front row raised steel shields to protect themselves and their companions, and they were on guard against any monsters or arrows that would suddenly rush out of the forest.
The soldiers in the back row raised their torches, pretending to get ready to throw their torches into the forest
At this moment, an arrow suddenly flew out of the forest. It was very fast and accurate. An arrow hit the torch in the hand of a soldier. The soldiers were frightened and loosened their hands.
Then, an elegant, deep and mysterious man said, "human! Throwing a torch into the forest will be punished naturally."
The soldiers were startled by the arrows and the sudden sound. Someone shouted, "arrows!"
"Sure enough, there are enemies lurking in the forest."
"There is an army!"
"Retreat!"
"Call the police! Call the police!"
A soldier whistled.
In an instant, the whole construction site came back to life. The workers were shocked and quickly retreated to the middle. The two hundred soldiers all jumped up, raising their swords and shields at the same time to protect the workers. The first dozen soldiers on duty at night also retreated as fast as they could and returned to the camp.
There was no need for the people in the forest to hide any more. An army came out quietly without making a sound. In an instant, hundreds of people lined up in front of the forest, and there were still people walking out from behind. It seemed that there were more than a thousand people.
These people were not ordinary humans!
All of them were tall and slim, and almost none of them was fat. They looked very thin with less developed muscles. Their ears were very sharp, and they stretched out long. Pairs of eyes emitted a green light in the night.
They were all dressed in light clothes, and almost no one wore heavy armors. They wore leather armors, which looked very mysterious and noble. Many of their leather armors were also filled with a faint green light.
"It's the Elf race!" A soldier shouted.
"It’s a group of elves. This is not normal to see."
"Why are the elves here?"
The soldiers shouted and discussed, but the army of the elf race was quietly gathering. Not a single sound was made, and soon a thousand people were gathered. They had a large number of people, and they thought that their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the human soldiers. Therefore, looking at the human army of about two hundred people in front of them, they were arrogant, with a hint of disdain and indifference.
No matter how these humans discussed, they did not speak, waiting for a powerful person to come out and speak.
