Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 348 The surviving prairie elves

The special nature of the elf village makes the herbivores on the grassland like to run here.

Although the elven village has been reduced to ruins at this time, the habits formed by the herbivores on the grassland will definitely not be changed in a short time.

This also makes this area the best hunting ground for Li Ce and others at this stage!
In order to improve their arresting efficiency, before setting off this time, Li Ce specially ordered five bullock carts to follow them, and equipped them with a certain amount of manpower to assist them in their work.

Of course, these five ox-carts were not for transporting wild horses, but for transporting herbivorous animals such as antelopes and sheep that they captured.

Although it would be worthwhile to catch a dozen wild horses on this trip, the more the merrier would be for harvesting this thing.

When they encountered a herd of sheep before, Li Ce and the others chose to ignore it because they needed to catch the wild horses with their bare hands.

But this time there was an ox cart waiting at the back, allowing them to move without any worries and just start grabbing.

During this period, Silk took the five elf knights under his command to separate and search around the elf village.

A blizzard was enough to erase all traces, which made Hilke and the others search around, but found basically nothing.

But this doesn't mean that Silk has no clue.

Through the elimination method, when faced with the invasion of the lizardman army, there was still a range in which directions the tribesmen would flee.

As his thoughts flew, Silk led the five elf knights under his command to launch a more in-depth search in those directions.

Time passed quietly in this process, and I originally thought that today would be a waste of time.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a slightly excited voice sounded from the snow in the distance...

"Lord Silk? Lord Silk!!"

Along with that shout, a prairie elf with shabby clothes and a thin face was riding on horseback, waving his hand excitedly at him.

During this process, I don't know if it was because he was too excited, but his vision suddenly turned black and he fell off the horse.

Silk, who had already noticed the opponent's presence at that time, saw this and hurried over, then dismounted and helped him up.

"How? Are you all right?"

He had already recognized that the people lying in the snow were his tribesmen.

"No, it's fine."

After Silk helped him sit aside, the prairie elf, who had taken a breath, weakly shook his head.

"It's just been too long since I've eaten."

After confirming that the opponent was not injured, Silk breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you the only one? Where are the other clan members?"

Under Hilke's impatient questioning, the prairie elf quickly explained their situation.

At that time, their village was attacked by a large army of lizardmen. The armored dragon broke through the defense line outside the village and entered easily. At this moment, Slavin knew that the village could not be defended, so he immediately made a retreat. Order.

At this time, the lizardmen's infantry troops were parked on the outside because they had been traveling for days and nights, while the cavalry was annihilated by Li Ce and Silk. The only ones that attacked were the armored dragons and monitor lizards. It was impossible to retreat. Good timing.

They pulled all the remaining horses in the village over, and Slavin got on one of them, but he had no intention of evacuating with the first group of people.

The situation in the village was chaotic at that time. They were suddenly attacked and they were all running for their lives.

Unlike other races, the elves have a sparse population. They attach great importance to the life of every clan member, and Slavin, the leader of the clan, is no exception.

At this time, he was the only one who could stabilize the emotions of the tribesmen, so he turned around resolutely and returned to the village to direct the tribesmen to evacuate.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked and killed by multiple monitor lizards.

The grassland elves who had already escaped on horseback did not dare to stay any longer and kept on traveling all night.

In the end, I was lucky enough to find a hilly area before the blizzard swept through.We survived the blizzard with the help of that natural shelter.

But the situation was urgent at that time, and they basically didn't bring much food with them. When the blizzard started, they couldn't go outside to look for food. They basically had to carry on with hunger and survive.

After the blizzard passed, while hurriedly sending people to look for food, they thought that Hilke and the others were not in the village at the time and might have survived, so they quickly sent people back to confirm the situation.

And he was indeed lucky, and he happened to bump into Silke who was looking for them.

If they couldn't find Silk on this trip and couldn't solve the food problem, then they would most likely have to kill the horses for meat when they went back this time.

After a preliminary understanding of the situation, Silke knew that the next thing could not be solved by just a few of them, so he quickly asked one of his subordinates to inform Li Ce of the situation.

At that time, Li Ce and the others had just completed a round of arrests against the wild horses.

I originally thought about catching some sheep or antelopes, but today’s work is over, especially sheep!

Their leader has already said that sheep are an important resource, so they can get as many as they can.

As a result, Silk's men came running over.

As for the prairie elves, they had a life-saving grace before the Great Zhou Dynasty and various financial aids later. From the current point of view, it will not be easy for them to repay them.

The biggest fear when giving favors to others is that you will encounter white-eyed wolves and shameless people, so it will basically be in vain.

The grassland elves are obviously not included in this list. This race has always had a high self-esteem, and they also attach great importance to face and cannot do anything shameless.

Therefore, his attitude was very sincere and he asked for his help.

Silk's ability to find the surviving prairie elves so quickly was undoubtedly a good thing for them.

After calling a soldier and giving some instructions, he motioned to the elf knight to lead the way, and the group arrived soon.

"How many elves are there?"

Li Ce came over and asked this question straight to the point.

It was getting late now, and if they worked harder, they might not be able to return to the village before dark.

Silke knew that Li Ce wanted to arrange the transportation, and he also knew the current situation. He had already understood the situation with his tribe before Silke came over.

"Nineteen tribesmen have survived, but the location is a little far away from here. I'm afraid we won't be able to go back before dark."

Then Silk couldn't help but add another sentence.

"But there are still some horses over there. They escaped on horseback. I don't know if they can still ride for a long time..."

When talking about the latter part, Hilke's tone became obviously weak. Considering the distance from there to Prairie Village, in his opinion, it was probably too much to bear.

After understanding the situation, Li Ce fell into deep thought.

Considering the current time and situation, Li Ce now has two choices before him.

One is to spend one night at the temporary camp of the prairie elves, and then rush back to the village early the next morning.

The other traveled all night to return to the village.

"You go back to the village first to inform us, and take the captured wild horses back with you."

After giving brief instructions to the soldiers beside him, Li Ce turned to look at Hilke.

"We move as quickly as possible to pick up your tribe and return to the village overnight."
