Chapter 33: The Elf Slave Girl

  Looking at the distant still raging fire, Xiao Yu knew that it was no longer possible to rescue the fire at this time. He decisively ordered everyone to withdraw from the city and wait for the fire to be extinguished before searching for spoils of war, while also taking stock of their own casualties.

  Although Xiao Yu's tactics were very correct this time, the coordination between troops was tacit, directly leading to brilliant results. However, the opponent's strength was also very strong, with a large number of people, and the beastman infantry also suffered losses.

  Thranduil blew a long whistle and summoned back those elf archers who had been setting fires inside.

  There were still some bandits inside, but they saw that their own side had almost been killed and the others had surrendered, so they didn't have any will to fight either, and also surrendered.

  A fairy hunter came to report at this time, saying: "Report to the master, there are still many slaves inside who have not been released. Should they be released? If they are not released, they may be affected by the fire and will be in danger of their lives."

  "Alright, of course we have to let them go. What if they get burned to death? I would be guilty then." Xiao Yu hastily gave the order and the Spirit Hunters went to release those slaves.

  When these slaves came out, Xiao Yu was shocked. Originally, he thought there were only a few dozen or even hundreds of slaves, but the ones who walked out were as many as thousands, including many female slaves who looked beautiful but had dull eyes, tattered clothes, and didn't cover their private parts, apparently having been subjected to humiliation.

  Comfort women, Xiao Yu thought of this term first.

  Then a nameless fire suddenly burst out from inside his body, burning fiercely. "Damn it, you bunch of robbers, all of you should be sliced to pieces."

  Xiao Yu was extremely angry, although he was a bit of a lecher normally and occasionally downloaded some videos to watch, even in this world he had the audacity to sneak a peek at his sister-in-law bathing, but that was just mostly fantasizing, at most satisfying his eyes. In reality, from the world he came from, he had enough respect for women, if it were something like forcing himself on a woman, he absolutely couldn't do it. A person can be lecherous, but not a beast. This was Xiao Yu's moral bottom line.

  This kind of thing, treating women as sex slaves, playing with them at will, and keeping them as pets, is something that Xiao Yu absolutely abhors. Especially due to certain historical factors, Xiao Yu cannot tolerate this comfort woman incident even more.

  "Are there any other slaves inside, go and search, don't leave anyone behind." Xiao Yu's face was as cold as frost, but he didn't immediately lose his temper. Instead, he held back until all the slaves were rescued before conducting a unified trial of these bandits.

  He was originally not fond of killing prisoners. Killing captives is unlucky, he still knew that, but these bandits were really too detestable. It's as if someone asked a question in the previous life, are islanders human? Since they're not human, killing them doesn't count as killing captives either.

  "Yes." The sprite hunter received the order and immediately went to search again.

  The Elf tribe is more sensitive to any signs of life due to their closeness to nature and reverence for life, making them more skilled at tracking and searching.

  Not long after, another batch of women was brought out. These women were all dressed in bright clothes, each with a stunning appearance, similar to the dancing girls from the Bolan tribe that Xiao Yu had captured last time, except they came from other ethnic groups, plump and slender, each with their own characteristics.

  Some of them still had a look of defiance and stubbornness on their faces, clearly not having reached the point of complete despair. They were all found in a secret cellar, apparently belonging to the high-end private concubine category.

  Among them, one had a proud look on her face and walked with great poise and elegance. At first glance, she didn't seem like an ordinary woman from a common family; eight or nine times out of ten, she was probably the young lady of a wealthy family kidnapped by these bandits.

  "Damn it, these robbers are so shameless. Grandma's... if I let them off easy, I'd be betraying my ancestors."

  Xiao Yu looked at these bandits who had kidnapped so many good women and was furious, gritting his teeth and pacing back and forth on the spot.

  But at this moment, a huge commotion suddenly arose among the elves. Those elegant and reserved elves were all enraged, and several of them even began to curse people.

  The Elf tribe, although they are extremely proud by nature, with eyes on top of their heads, have always been civilized in their behavior and elegant in their speech, never using profanity.

  Xiao Yu estimated that in their language, there were no swear words at all, but now these elves were all swearing, definitely something big had happened to anger both humans and gods.

  Xiao Yu quickly ran over, and when he saw the situation, his eyes were also wide with anger. He directly drew out his knife and chopped off Karus' head, turning it into a bloody mess.

  A group of elves were surrounding a woman at this time, the woman was curled up all over, looking at everyone's gaze filled with fear, her whole body was weak and boneless, she only wore a black robe taken off by other elves, from time to time she would lift her hand and expose her completely naked lower body.

  Around her neck, there was a leather collar with a chain attached to it, just like a pet leash. The woman found it extremely difficult to stand up and could only crouch and crawl like a cat.

  This girl was definitely not born like this, she was trained to be like this. This is already a huge harm to the heavens and reason, but this is not the main point.

  The most striking thing was that the woman's ears were long and pointed, over 20 centimeters in length, and her eyes would occasionally flash with a purple light.

  All these signs prove one thing: she is a fairy.

  Spirits, it's said that the spirit tribe has been extinct in this world, but unexpectedly, I still ran into a spirit here, and what's more, under such circumstances.

  Xiao Yu disliked the elves' arrogance, but after all, they were his own people. When a person enters an unfamiliar world, only these elves and beastmen are brought from that world, so, unknowingly, he treated the elves and beastmen under him as if they were his own kin, his own kind.

  Seeing his own people treated in such an inhuman way, how could Xiao Yu not be agitated, how could he not be indignant?

  Even Grom beside him let out a loud roar at this scene.

  "I'll kill them all!" Grom bellowed, about to charge over and slaughter the more than 800 prisoners there. Although Grom had never gotten along with the elves, in front of others they were still his own kind after all, both coming from the Beast's lair.

  It's like two brothers who don't get along, always fighting, but when an outsider comes to beat up his own brother, he won't stand for it. So when he saw the spirit being treated this way, he immediately took it as if one of his own kin was being persecuted.

  "Halt." Xiao Yu's cold voice stopped Grom, saying: "I will punish them later, no need for now."

  Grom was hot-tempered, but he wouldn't disobey Xiao Yu's orders, so he suppressed his excitement and his hands trembled slightly, but in the end, he didn't make a move. He just looked at those captives with a gaze that made them feel like they were going to be devoured whole.

  Tairand was now tearful, she whispered softly in the Elven language that Xiao Yu couldn't understand, comforting this suffering Elf woman.

  The fairy tribe woman initially had an extremely fearful expression towards anyone, and even when she saw her own tribespeople, she was almost habitually numb and couldn't recognize them.

  But when Thranduil spoke of the Elven tongue, a shaft of moonlight suddenly appeared before him, illuminating the Elf-maiden's face at that moment, and in her purple eyes there suddenly shone a strong light.

  "Tylande, goddess? Are you the Goddess Tylande? Have you come to save me? The Moon Goddess has not abandoned us, she has sent the Goddess Tylande back to our side once again." The words of the Elf woman were also in Elvish, which Xiao Yu originally couldn't understand, but he asked the system and found that he could learn Elvish and all other languages on the continent.

  He then chose to learn without hesitation and quickly.

  "Yes, I am Telande. My poor kinswoman, tell me, what has happened? Why have you been treated this way?" Telande's eyes welled up with tears as she softly comforted the elven woman, her heart clearly bleeding at seeing her kin in such a state.

  "Greatest goddess, great Tyrande, you have been away from us for too long. The moon goddess's radiance is no longer here, we were abandoned, ten thousand years passed, the Tree of Life was gone, and our kind was on the brink of extinction. Those despicable humans, they slaughtered us, occupied our living space, we could only hide in the deepest part of the great mountains, barely continuing our lineage. Now you have returned, it's wonderful, our kind can have hope again."

  The woman of the spirit tribe looked at Tyrande, as if she had seen a living goddess, and deeply bowed to her, her whole body trembling with excitement.

  "The Elf tribe is going to be extinct? Ah, the Elf tribe has encountered such a situation? How can this be? Those detestable humans." Tirande wept, and although her words were filled with anger, they still sounded as melodious as a skylark's song.

  Xiao Yu felt a little guilty upon hearing this, and it seemed that humans had pushed the elves to the brink of despair. As for the inferiority complex of the human race, Xiao Yu was all too familiar with it. The female elves were undoubtedly the best private pets of some human nobles. For this reason, those so-called bounty hunters and human adventurers would venture into the deep mountains to hunt beastmen for glory or capture elves as playthings, which seemed to be a long-standing tradition among human nobles.

  According to Xiao Yu's memory, his father Xiao Zhan Tian had entered the Great Mountain to hunt and kill beastmen and capture spirits when he was young.

  "Oh great goddess of Telrand, please, save them, save our kin. Only you can save our kin and free them from suffering once more under the protection of the moon goddess." The elven woman said to Telrand as if in prayer.

  "My dear kinswoman, I promise you, I will revive our race, and the Elves shall flourish once more." Thalion placed his hand on the Elf maiden's cheek, making a solemn vow.

  Xiao Yu watched this scene, feeling extremely moved. His own race was on the brink of extinction, and then the goddess of his own race suddenly appeared. What a touching scene! The following plot should be that under the leadership of the goddess, this race is reborn.

  But suddenly, Xiao Yu was startled and almost jumped up.

  He thought of a very serious problem.

  "How would the spirits of this world know about Tirion? How could they call Tirion a goddess? And yet, she also said that Tirion left them ten thousand years ago. If so, what kind of world is this?"
