Maybe, but then they should show it at least somewhat. And it's also unlikely considering that the noble was looking for adults to catch.
"Elven warriors" seem to be something special, not just in like every fantasy setting there is, but also in this one when the kids say "an elven warrior will come and rescue us".
Dunno, I kinda expect these elves to be better than a few humans that don't seem to be anything but brawns.
It's just so boring to see skinny/brawny village idiots doing this.
You have probably seen the special episode of Mushoku Tensei? - The assassins there were pretty cool n' stuff.
Just turn these kind of guys into tracker/trappers/hunters (the type of guys that use tactics and maybe even animals) and you have some interesting and believable matchup right there, even if our skel-hero will clean them up in the end (just like Eris did)
I mean, the way it was portrayed here was that they went into the woods with a big cage-wagon and it looked like they were picking little baby elves up as if they were in some kind of chicken-coop and hunting baby chicken.
What I'm saying is basically: How can an adult man write his story like that and not cringe when he does so. Even more amazing that these kind of stories get attention and money as well.
As mentioned earlier, I'm a consumer that doesn't "need" all that to enjoy a show... but it's also not like wouldn't enjoy it a lot more if someone invested 2 more minutes to improve his story and worldbuilding.
"It's free" - basically.
But maybe the source material is actually a lot better - but I will certainly not even check it out because of how poorly that was done.
