The Adventure Of Eric (The Rescue of the Elf Princess)
9. Clues in the Witch Village.

On that hot, dusty afternoon, the Prince Elves' entourage crossed the first village they had encountered since entering the borders of the Witch Country.

It can be seen how the Orcs controlled the village and made the inhabitants there as slaves to serve them.

Seeing the arrival of the Elf team, making the prisoners of the Witch Nation, have new hope.

"Help us. Please release us!" the prisoners stood in the middle of the road and intercepted Glenn's entourage.

"Exit!" randall. All the troops in particular were directly surrounding Glenn. They did not want the prisoners' actions to be a trap to injure the prince.

A whip whizzed and quickly bulldozed the backs of the prisoners standing on the streets.

"Your job is to work! There!" The whip handle was again snapped. His rope floated briefly in the air, before landing on the backs of the prisoners.

Glenn jumped off the horse and held the tip of the rope so as not to hurt anyone. Then he descended right in front of an ugly Orc with many gaping scars on his face.

Glenn pulled out the straps wrapped around his sword. His guards had already scattered the crowd of prisoners and were now standing around Glenn.

"What right do you have to make them prisoners! This is their hereditary land!" snapped Glenn.

The orc raised its forehead, until it clearly saw a thick frown imprinted there. Then he glanced at the hundreds of Elf troops that had come.

"Look at you coming with an army like this big. Do you also want to rule this land? Isn't this too far from your country?" said sarcasm.

"Oh, so you're going to say that you're in control of this land now? How can you have such courage and broke a peace treaty decades ago!" snapped Glenn.

"Hahahaa .. Our leader has changed. Right now, I'm not afraid of anything! We'll rule all the countries here!" pongah reply.

"Then you must defeat us!" Prince Glenn retreated after saying that. All the commanders of the troops prepared to start the fight.

"You really have the guts to challenge us!"

"Aaaoorrghghh ...!"

The orc shouted loudly booming. In an instant, Nearly twenty Orcs gathered. They seem to be on standby. Proven by each holding a weapon and ready-to-fight attitude.

The prisoners retreat. They can't participate in that fight. Randal saw that. However, he focused more on Glenn, so as not to think about the witches' strange reason. Instead of helping, they go far.

The orcs cheering heated up the atmosphere. Their group was already very excited. When else, could it fight with so many Elf troops? They're getting impatient.

"Don't hurt their dangerous parts. It will not be empowered!" others remind.

"Yeahhhh!" The Orc army cheered excitedly.

"Groan!" The aba-aba has been pronounced Prince Glenn. His troops immediately stormed in crowds, crowding the Orcs who were only dozens of people.

Glenn and his troops in particular drew a white-haired old man who stood not far from the group of prisoners. The man was very silent and Glenn could see the charisma emanating on his face.

"Are you the village chief here?" ask Glenn. The man looked at Glenn's ears, before nodding in response.

"Our village fell just overnight. Really last night!" he was sad and sad.

"Have you heard the news of the attack on the Elf princess who was brought here by the Orcs?" ask Glenn again.

"Two nights ago there were two horses coming in the middle of the night. I can see they're carrying two women on horseback!" the man nodded.

"really? Did you see his face? Maybe a little like me? My daughter and her maid went missing two nights ago!" Glenn was enthusiastic.

"I didn't see his face. The two men were immediately taken to where they were gathered. Then early in the morning they were gone."

The man pointed to the largest building in the village. "They're gathered there!"

"Thank you for the information!" Glenn stepped towards the designated building.

Randal approached the man. "Are there no male prisoners in the princess' group?"

"The man shook his head with glaring eyes. "The Orcs kidnapped an Elf princess?" tayanya doesn't believe it.

"Say which way they're going!" ask Randall.

"The trail there. That's the way to the nearest town!" inexplicably.

"good. Thank you!" Randall follows Glenn who has inspected nearly half the building.

"How, Master?" ask Randall. He checked every corner of the place.

"I found something!" said Randal. He took one thing from behind the pile of trash scattered in that place.

"What's that?" glenn asked, not understanding.

"This is the servant token that they usually carry with them every time they come out of the residence. Looky!" Randall handed the token to Glenn.

He noticed a token of carved wood with the emblem of his residence. Glenn nodded. Then the tokens are stored and they come out. His daughter and the waiter did come to that place yesterday.

"Master, said the man there, there are no male prisoners with the princess!" Randall's whisper.

"What's? Then where's Gilang?" Glenn became anxious thinking about that.

Randall could not answer. However, he added information. "The old man said, the princess and her servant were taken there early in the morning."

Glenn walked up to the man again. Check the iron that chained their legs. The leg chain was connected with at least ten people in the group. The iron chains that were forged were rough and injured the feet of all the prisoners. It made him bleed and the bloody wound was dirty full of dust. But it's very clear that the chain was fitted with a locking spell.

"Can't you guys let go of this chain with magic?" glenn asked in astonishment.

"The Orcs put this on our chests. If we use magic, then we will die!"

The man showed one pin of a strange black iron that was plugged into their chest. Fresh blood was still clearly visible among the blackish-blue hues covering their chests.

"Did anyone prove it?" ask Glenn.

"My valiant son, refused to submit. He plucked out this iron and cast his final magic spell. It made the leg of one of the Orcs break off, and he himself died!" The man looked sad.

Glenn shook his head. "You fight or you don't, you'll still die! They poisoned this device. Your son didn't die because his magic was disturbed. But because of the poisoning!" glenn.

The man was surprised. And look at his chest that is now turning blue. He does not feel fit enough. He thought it was because of his leg being injured by a chain.

"But, when my son did, he just got this pin!" his objection.

"If the pin is removed, it's likely that the poison will spread quickly, so he's dead!" Randall.

The man and his ten-man group, were surprised to hear that explanation. "So, actually we can still do magic?" repeat they don't believe.

"Try a simple magic. For example, releasing the chain of legs. Then, find a healer to find an antidote to the poison!" Randall's advice.

Glenn and Randal leave the Witches in custody. They can't help untie the chain of legs that hold all the prisoners.

"We have information. Just finish them off!" glenn's orders.

Randal and his army members pushed forward and could not be dammed. In the next half an hour, all those Orcs died horribly!

"Take care of yourself!" the Elf troops left the village at the border. Continue the path following the man's lead.
