After receiving the elves' promise, the human mercenaries quickly took off their equipment under Belus's command and placed them together as per the black dragon's instructions.
And they could only wear simple coarse underwear, shivering in the canyon's cold night wind...
After the mercenaries took off their equipment, Belus was surprised to see a few tall figures suddenly emerge from the distant ruins.
Those... were actually more elves!
They were wearing luxurious equipment, and they joyfully trotted over, then gleefully carried away all the equipment taken off by the mercenaries.
Their expressions of delight at the sight of the equipment, especially their greedy looks at Belus's magic robe and wand, as well as the mercenary corps leader's silver longsword, were utterly unrestrained...
The skillful action of picking up the equipment... Who knows how many times they've done similar things, they were like bandits robbing travelers.
