Chapter 586: Slaves

The Hendra mistress sat in her chair and thought about it for more than ten minutes, but finally she could not resist the temptation, and said to Henry through gritted teeth, "Well, maybe you are right. I'll send someone to buy all the human slaves and twenty trolls at once, and I hope you don't disappoint me, or ......"

"Don't worry, I promise that within a few days, these slaves will have a certain amount of combat power, and with a small number of family soldiers, the entire Uster. No family in Nasa will be our opponent. After saying that, Henry bowed slightly, and a playful smile inadvertently appeared on his face. He was clearly not kind enough to help the Dark Elves train an army, but had his own plans.

"I hope so. After all, it's a lot of money, and I don't want any surprises. With that, the Mistress of Xingdra glanced at her son, who immediately put on his hood and walked towards the door, looking like he was going to the slave market to make a big purchase.

Every Dark Elf city has a place dedicated to trading and holding slaves, and there is a thriving business for everything from kobolds, goblins, and gnomes to giants, trolls, and earth trolls, and they can meet the special needs of all their guests, and sometimes even turn their own compatriots into slaves to buy.

However, when there is no war, the number of slaves is not too large, and it can only satisfy the appetite of the minor nobles. A powerful ruling family like the Geralts would only purchase slaves in large quantities during wartime, as they were not only abundant but also much cheaper.

However, surface creatures are generally not very popular in the slave market, especially elves and humans. Most of the Dark Elves believe that these two races are too fragile, sick, and enduring, and that they will die or die without food or drink for five days. It's better to buy grey dwarves and underground gnomes.

I have to say. They are right. But one thing that is overlooked is the ability of humans to learn. The entire continent of Faeron is recognized as the race with the strongest learning ability, and there is no one. From the age of the wilderness, humans learned ore smelting and forging techniques from the dwarves, magic from the elves, and finally inventions from the gnomes.

It is because of this unimaginable ability to learn and understand that humanity has been able to survive in this world where so many races compete for development. And gradually become a unique overlord on land.

Although their bodies are neither as strong as dwarves, nor as agile as elves and gnomes, nor as powerful as giants, nor as infinitely regenerative as trolls, once they are gathered to a certain extent, they can create miracles that are beyond the reach of all other races.

Henry was well aware of this, and therefore encouraged the Hendra Mistress to buy all the human slaves brought back from the surface. He was going to gather these people for simple training, and then let them grow in the war, and by the time the story was over, an elite army would have almost been trained.

Of course. There are many people who may die because of this, but it is much better than being killed by the dark elves in various ways for fun. At least they died as a warrior. Instead of being slaughtered indiscriminately like domestic animals, there is no point in dying.

Having solved the slave problem, the face of the master mother of Xingdra softened a little. She rubbed her forehead and continued, "Let's talk about it now, how we should respond to this war." Will you go all out, or will you send only half of your soldiers to deal with it? โ€

"I think it's okay to deal with it, anyway, the first family has made it clear that they want to figure out the war on the surface of Guรฒ to reverse the unfavorable situation, wouldn't it be better for us to pull the hind legs." The eldest daughter, Liroa, couldn't wait to express her opinion.

Her point of view is exactly the way of thinking of most dark elves, that is, to oppose everything that is beneficial to the enemy, never to consider the overall situation, and to stay at a very superficial level of fighting, which is 108,000 miles away from the level of cooperation and competition.

The Hendra Mistress was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, and frowned and waved her hand: "No, it's easy to anger Goddess Rose. You must know that the war against the surface elves has always been directly concerned by her, and if we don't do our best, it is easy to fall out of favor, this method will definitely not work. โ€

"Mistress, I think we should send all the soldiers at once, leaving only a handful of elites, to create the illusion that the Geralt family wants to take the lead in this war. After getting this news, the other families will definitely not be able to sit still, and they will also send more forces one after another, so that the whole city will soon become very empty......"

Speaking of this, Henry deliberately stopped, his eyes flashing with malice. It's not good to say something too clearly, anyway, with the rich experience of the dark elves in infighting, as long as you are not a fool, you can immediately understand the meaning.

"Bang-Bang-Bang!"

The Hendra Mistress was the first to react, standing up from her chair and clapping her hands, her eyes full of appreciation: "Great, brilliant strategy, I believe that no one will think of the plan hidden behind it." Nimes, you are the most outstanding man I have ever met, and at such a young age, the future is limitless. โ€

The eldest daughter, Liloya, also nodded excitedly: "That's right, it's definitely beyond everyone's expectations." While having family soldiers would make us weaker than ever, the other ruling families, especially the First and Second Families, would definitely send more men to ensure that their position was not threatened. They must be weaker than we are, and with the thousands of human slaves who have completed their training, they will surely win. โ€

"Thanksgiving, isn't that what I'm here for? Now let's prepare for the Geralt family's imminent control of Uster. Get ready for Nasa, it won't take more than a week to get started. Henry bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the door.

Looking at his departing back, the Mistress of Xingdra narrowed her eyes and asked the daughter beside her, "Liloia, do you think we can tame this wise and arrogant warrior?" โ€

"It's hard, Nรฎmes are not even an adult now, and they have already shown a talent for terror. Whether it is personal strength or brains, he surpasses his peers too much. I think maybe after the operation is successful. It's time to get rid of this dangerous male. โ€

The eldest daughter made no secret of her jealousy of Henry. Without any hesitation, he spoke directly from his heart. In her opinion, the two can only use each other at best, and maybe the relationship will deteriorate quickly after the plan succeeds, so she has long been thinking about how to kill each other faster and safer.

Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on the face of the Hendra Mistress, "I'm glad you can see this. Remember, all our power comes from the Goddess, so it is more important than anything else to keep her favor. Don't hesitate to let one or two talented guys doom our family. โ€

For the High Priestess of the Dark Essence Forest, especially the head mother of a ruling family, nothing is more important than holding a qiฤ“ in the palm of her hand. For those talented men in the family, they must be suppressed from an early age, and an insurmountable cordon must be drawn until they know the fact that they are inferior to women.

Obviously, Henry's current cousin has crossed that line, so both the main mother and the eldest daughter are vigilant in their hearts, and at the same time secretly preparing that once he loses his usefulness, then he will be immediately pulled out and sacrificed.

The eldest son, Ishta, is very efficient. Just over an hour later, more than 2,000 human slaves were driven into the family's backyard. The oldest of them is not more than thirty-five years old. The youngest was sixteen years old, with a similar ratio of men and women, dressed in tattered linen clothes, and his eyes were full of fear.

At the end of the team were twenty giant monsters that were more than three meters tall and weighed three hundred and fifty kilograms. Their legs end in three-fingered feet with sharp claws, and their strong forearms end in scythe-like claws. The skin looks rubber-like, and the erect hair is sticky.

Seeing these formidable monsters, Henry's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He originally thought that it would be good to get a dozen forest trolls, but he didn't expect to get even more powerful cave trolls.

The eldest son smiled proudly and asked, "How is it, are you surprised?" โ€

"Of course, I really didn't expect the slave market to sell cave trolls. As long as these big guys are trained, they will definitely play a very important role in battle. With that, Henry immediately waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to put the monsters in cages.

He didn't want an accident to happen at this time, after all, cave trolls are notoriously loyal to their instincts, they are never afraid of death, as long as they feel hungry, they will not hesitate to rush into the crowd, and they can cause huge casualties in an instant, and they can't stop it.

"Haha, these big guys are not cheap, each fifteen hundred gold coins, they were found by the patrol team in the caves in the west, fortunately, the mages in the team have memorized enough control magic, otherwise it would be difficult to catch them all. Now I'm handing over all these slaves to you, and I hope to see the results of my training in a few days. With that, Ishtar smiled playfully, turned around and flew to the balcony on the second floor.

From the expression on the eldest son's face, it was clear that he didn't think anyone could train cowardly humans and instinctual cave trolls into qualified soldiers, and perhaps he was secretly laughing at himself, waiting for the time to see Henry make a fool of himself.

The Dark Elf warriors pointed at the humans standing in the middle of the courtyard, laughing insolently, and some even picked up stones from the ground and looked inside for amusement. Their naked humiliation caused a commotion in the crowd, but soon regained calm.

The captives had numb expressions on their faces, their eyes glazed over, and they didn't look lifeless, like the living dead, who didn't know how to dodge or resist when the stones hit them.

Seeing this, Henry waved at a family priest next to him, who quickly ran over and whispered, "Your Excellency the Martial Arts Master, what are your orders?" โ€

"Go, let all the captives be stripped of their clothes, let them stand in line, and they are not allowed to move, and whoever moves will be whipped with a whip." Henry gave the order with a cold face, and did not show any mercy to his subordinates because he was also a human......
