Of course, the recruits were separated along the way.
They weren't elves, so they didn't receive any special treatment. But considering they were with the elves, they would still be given the credit they deserved, and they wouldn't be bullied like ordinary recruits.
Even the accompanying human nobles were no longer qualified to interfere in what followed. With the Duke having intervened, they no longer had the right to communicate with Jia Zhengyi.
Although this is sudden, this is the harsh reality of politics.
As members of the team, Su Lin, Xiao Linlin, and others, who were also riding demonic deer, were obviously members of the adventure team and enjoyed special treatment.
On the way into the mountains, Su Lin carefully observed the terrain. This place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was also very well hidden. Even if the orcs attacked, there were multiple roads for quick relocation... From a guerrilla tactical perspective, this was a good military stronghold.
Moreover, the Duke of Bath's forces consisted mostly of light infantry, skilled in various complex terrains, while cavalry units were few and far between, so they would not be a burden in special terrains.
It's clear that the Duke of Bath is not incompetent; as the frontline commander, he certainly has some skills.
Just as Su Lin was observing the terrain, Xiao Linlin suddenly spoke up: "Brother, don't you think this duke sounds familiar?"
"Does that name sound familiar? Do you know him?"
Su Lin frowned and asked, and Xiao Linlin lowered her voice to remind her, "Blackstone Town... do you remember it?"
"Forehead..."

At the time, the captain of the guard kept boasting that his lord came from the Thorne Magic Family, and that the family had a powerful patron known as the "Lion Duke".
And the Duke of Bath in front of us also happens to have the surname Thorne, so he is obviously the Duke of the Lion!
"What a coincidence! The world is truly amazing."
Su Lin smiled. He probably never imagined that the young lord of the Thorne family, who was too lazy to meet with the team members, would be so reserved and ingratiating towards Jia Zhengyi at this moment.
The things he said to Jia Zhengyi were almost effusive praises to the entire team, practically crowning them as great heroes who saved the country and its people.
It is evident that the Duke of Bath was so eager to keep these elves that he could hardly conceal his intentions.
