After saying very confident words. I then said proudly, "If you are afraid over those slave traders, they have to get trough me first before they could ever lay a hand to you".

Then suddenly Serefina once again broke down to tears. "Th...th...there's no other person who told me that before." she told me while crying. Then I approached her to hand oit my handkerchief then hugged her tight.

"It's alright Serefina, it's alright. I will protect you definitely will." I exclaimed to her.

She let out on crying for minutes before she is calmed down.

"Mr. Karl, thank you for your kind words. No one ever told me that words before. Not even my father and mother who died protecting me. You see I am not really from this village, I was just a refugee." she tried to say calmly. While I sit quietly in front of her.

" 30 years ago, Slave traders attacked our town. We defended the town till the last breath, but our arrows cannot pierce their shields, even magic imbued arrows have little to limited effect, I was one of the only few to survived. Thus after years villages after villages began to fall, shrinking the Kingdom. Only the Kingdom Knights has the capacity to pierce those "monsters" shields." she told me in detail.

While listening, I got my SMLE rifle in my back and pull the bolt loaded a round and said, "Do you want to avenge your parents?".

"If I can, I could have done it years ago, can you help me Mr. Karl?", Serefina replied.

"Stand here and get this rifle, put you right hand here at the trigger, the othe one here at the handguard. Feel the rifle, and look between the iron sights. Did you the apple across the tree?, get it between the iron sights". I instructed her and help her to a proper firing stance.

"Now, is the apple between the iron sights Serefina?" I asked her calmly.

"Yes, Mr. Karl, whats next?, is this how Ms. Liana use this "rifle"?", Serefina asked curiously.

"Yup, now pull the trigger or that tiny metal part inward." I instructed her.

BANG!!

The apple was blown off by the .303 round and Serefina was pushed back by the recoil. As much as her amazement is also me stunned at her accuracy, not bad for a first timer. The Elves really are masters of accuracy.

"Wow, you exceeded my expectations, wait here I'll get your own rifle, and drop the Mr., just call me Karl, Serefina". I told her.

Thus we spent the day with the two us deep in the jungle practicing her using both the Winchester and the SMLE, and due to lack of materials I couldn't upgrade the Winchester to a SMLE, so she will stick around with for a short time.

She really are a sharpshooter, a perfect sniper, she shows off result in our practice better accuracy than me.

And that night, when we returned home. We come back to an angry Liana, she is mad at me for disappearing without any consent from her. Deep down inside me I thought what will happen if I also took Serefina as my wife, would Liana be mad at me?.

And then the worst happened..

In the midst of our breakfast and lively chat with us three. The village bell rang out, and the guards shouting that the intruders is already nearby.

We quickly jumped off to pick up our belongings and stuff. In our pre-planned strategy, Liana would take our Wagon to the South entrance of the village, evacuating some of the child and women of the village. Meanwhile the rest will fight the slave traders.

In gave Serefina the Winchester 94 now capable of handling .45 caliber. And as the chaos ensues, we positioned ourselves on top of the trees. Using the height of the trees to our advantage.

Then the slave traders ushered in group formations. A group consist of five men, one who have ridiculously large shield made up of like shells using my "Appraisal" skill I determined it to be a Wyverns scale, and its defense is ridiculously big. Along with two guys with crossbows and two guys with lances.

This is really a big trouble...
