Ellie's shout was naturally intentional. Since they were judging her position by her voice, provoking them was meant to make them attack her quickly.
Sure enough... as soon as Ellie finished speaking, she heard the incredibly sharp sound of wind breaking again. But this time, she was fully prepared and just waiting for them!
"Bright King's Imprint! Enlightened Mind! Open!" Ellie was seen brandishing two ice greatswords, completely out of proportion to her petite figure. She swung them a few times in the air at a speed difficult for ordinary people to follow, and immediately, several sounds like metal clashing were heard, followed by screams and muffled wails from not far away.
Tilly and Ti Du were dumbfounded. Suddenly, two ice greatswords appeared out of nowhere, and they directly blocked all the arrows shot at them. Wasn't this person a Magic Caster?
"Over here! You two, hurry up and follow!" As soon as Ellie heard the commotion not far away, she also smelled a faint scent of blood. After all, she still had the constitution of a True Ancestor and was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. As long as they were injured and bleeding... no matter how much they concealed their presence, it would be useless.
Ellie turned her head and shouted at Tilly and Ti Du, then charged forward with her greatswords. The forest was quite dense, which was inconvenient for Ellie, who was carrying two greatswords. So... Tilly and Ti Du witnessed another terrifying scene. They saw the Princess in front of them swinging her greatswords, cutting down every obstacle in her path. No matter how thick the trees were, they were all sliced into pieces by this incredibly violent Princess.
"You're not getting away!" Ellie quickly caught up to those people. After all, several of them were already injured and couldn't go far. So... Ellie, like a Grim Reaper, directly blocked the path of the Elves who had attacked her.
Of course, these weren't the only Elves who attacked her. There were more than a dozen arrows shot at her just now, and although they all bounced back, they came from all directions. So Ellie could only choose to chase in the direction where there were more people. One could only say that those she caught were unlucky.
"Who are you! Why are you attacking me!" Ellie pointed her greatsword at the Elf who was clutching his injured arm and said.
Although he was holding his arm tightly, blood was still gushing out.
Uh... was she too ruthless? This was their own doing, though. The Bright King's Imprint, Enlightened Mind, that she had just used was a skill specifically for flying arrows.
She had only bounced back the arrows shot at her. If she had truly wanted to be ruthless at that time, she could have added her own power during the deflection. Then, these few people would probably not have just been injured.
"You! You, you all! You've invaded the Elf Kingdom's alert zone! Damned humans!!" The male Elf clutching his arm said bitterly.
They truly were Elves. Although it had been said once before, this impression became even stronger after seeing this group of guerrilla members.
The entire team was full of Handsome guys. When rescuing Tilly and Ti Du, her attention was on that Handsome guy captain. But she hadn't expected that even ordinary guerrilla members, who were essentially cannon fodder, were all Handsome guys!
"Oh ho? Have you Elves grown to dislike humans to this extent? You attack indiscriminately as soon as you see someone who looks human? No... in that situation just now, you shouldn't have been able to see what I look like, right? You just attacked like that, didn't you!" Ellie noticed.
"Anyone entering the alert zone will be killed without mercy!" The injured Handsome guy Elf shouted, looking pained.
Don't try to act tough when you're like this. You might just end up dying a more painful death. Nazarick just happens to need corpses of various races for experiments. These Handsome guy Elves look like they could be useful.
Alright! It's decided. Just as Ellie was considering how to deal with these people, Tilly and Ti Du finally caught up.
"Lady Tilly! You... why are you here! Could, could the rumors be true! Damn it... damned humans!"
The injured Handsome guy was very surprised to see Tilly. He said something incomprehensible and glared at Ellie with the eyes of someone whose father had been murdered.
The other uninjured Elf warriors also took up their fighting stances, ready to pounce and fight Ellie to the death at any moment.
"Eh? Pan? Why are you here!" Tilly also looked at the injured Handsome guy in surprise. It seemed they were acquaintances?
Tsk... what a pity, they're acquaintances! The Elf corpse recovery plan is ruined, Ellie thought, feeling a bit displeased.
"Lady Tilly, please wait a moment! I will rescue you from these shameless humans right now!" The injured Handsome guy said angrily, then let go of his arm, letting the blood gush out. He drew the sword from his waist with his uninjured hand and pointed it at Ellie.
"Acquaintances, how uninteresting." Seeing this, Ellie had no more desire to fight. Looking at this Handsome guy, he must have some relationship with Tilly, and he was so desperately trying to save Tilly. So Ellie directly threw her ice sword to the ground, cut off the magic supply, and left it. It should melt in a while.
"Pan! Don't be rude!" Ti Du, who had followed, also spoke up to stop the Handsome guy.
"Eh? Ti Du? You! You're still alive! Ah... Ti Du, you're still alive." The Handsome guy became even more agitated after seeing Ti Du, and then his glare at Ellie became even fiercer. Hey, hey! This isn't my fault, Ellie grumbled in her heart.
"Of course I'm still alive! If it weren't for this Lord's help, I would probably be dead! Pan! Put down your weapon immediately! You too!" Ti Du shouted sternly at the Elves.
All the Elves had expressions of both surprise and joy. They obediently put away their weapons. It seemed these Elves should be Tilly's people, right? She remembered her grandfather was a minister? Vassals, then?
"What exactly is going on?" The Handsome guy Elf, who had obediently put down his weapon, even forgot that his arm wound was still gushing blood. He looked at Ellie with great surprise, then at Ti Du, and asked.
"It's a long story. Let's deal with your injury first!" Ti Du naturally noticed the wound on the Handsome guy Elf's arm, then closed her eyes and murmured a few words Ellie couldn't understand, then shook her head with a look of disappointment.
What is she doing? Ellie also didn't understand what she wanted to do. Isn't Ti Du a Fairy User? Does she want to use healing magic? Low-level magic can't be used under this mist, can it?
"Clementine, could I trouble you? I can't summon forest fairies to heal Pan. Could I trouble you?" Ti Du could only ask Ellie. Hmm? Can forest fairies heal? Another piece of information!
"Ti Du! What are you doing?" The injured Handsome guy was even more surprised, probably wondering why Ti Du would be so respectful to someone who appeared to be human.
"Well! After all, it was my doing, but attacking without a word like that made me very unhappy!" Ellie said, shrugging.
"There must be some reason for this. Could you please heal Pan first? I will apologize to you on his behalf." Ti Du bowed her head sincerely.
"Ti Du! You don't need to be so humble to humans." The injured Handsome guy hadn't finished speaking when Tilly interrupted him.
"Pan! Shut up! Don't cause any more trouble!" Tilly said very sternly, which was quite unexpected for Ellie.
Did Tilly take the wrong medicine? It shouldn't be! Hmph! Pan is right! Ti Du, you don't need to be so respectful to this guy! Right? Ellie looked utterly bewildered.
..." After being scolded by Tilly, the Handsome guy turned his face away, looking wronged, and said nothing more.
"Alright! Then I'll heal them first, and then I'll ask you to explain, clearly and in detail, why you attacked without a word. If you can't give me a satisfactory reason, then I'll bring those injuries back!" Ellie said, feigning displeasure, then directly slapped a Holy Healing on each of the injured Elves.
"This... this is! You can use magic in the mist! You? Who exactly are you?"
The Handsome guy watched as the wound on his arm healed directly, leaving no scar. Aside from the bloodstains from before, there was no trace of him having been injured.
"Me? I'm just a Princess by hobby!" Ellie replied with a hint of pride.
