Path of light

Chapter 347 348. Captain Jones

A sharp whistle came from outside, and all the elf warriors in the room woke up from their sleep. Everyone jumped out of bed. Some elf warriors didn't even wear armor. They grabbed the elf sword hanging on the wall and flew towards it. Running outside.

Roy and Rambo were also awakened by the harsh whistle. They both wore armor when sleeping and put their weapons on their pillows. At this time, they got up from the bed and rushed out of the dormitory.

Captain Jones was already waiting in our corridor. Seeing that his elf warriors were not even wearing their armor, he couldn't help but scolded:

"Why don't you hurry up and put on your armor! Do you think those headhunters are kobolds from the Whispering Grassland?"

The elven warriors ran back to their dormitories to put on their light armor, then ran out to regroup.

Captain Jones looked solemn and said to his elf warriors: "This is not the first time you have fought against the plateau headhunters. I won't say anything more. These plateau headhunters are ruthless. Don't fight with them head-on. We Yinfei The advantages of the cavalry regiment are excellent equipment and extraordinary martial arts."

"Yes, Captain!" a group of elf warriors responded.

Roy and Rambo stood among the group of elf warriors and also echoed.

Then Roy began to chant the prayer of 'Blessing of Strength' continuously.

Divine patterns continued to light up in front of Roy, and fist-like marks appeared one after another on each elf warrior of the 10th Reconnaissance Team.

When the elf warriors walked past Roy, they all punched him in good faith.

Everyone knows that Roy is blessing everyone with 'divine power', and this power can last for about a quarter of an hour.

When fighting, everyone can clearly feel that there is endless energy in the whole body.

The last 'blessing of power' fell on Captain Jones, and Roy felt that the power of holy light in his body was almost exhausted.

When Roy was promoted to a priest, the nine tentacles of the sacred tree in his body merged into one main root, and the sacred tree also merged with Roy's body. Now that Roy is a fifth-level priest, another main root sprouted. Countless fine roots sprouted out, constantly absorbing the particles of holy light around Roy every day.

The sacred tree is also slowly growing under the nourishment of particles of holy light...

Seeing Roy blessing more than a dozen elf warriors with the 'Blessing of Strength', Captain Jones patted his shoulder with concern and asked:

"Roy, do you want to take a break?"

Roy waved his hand quickly and explained to Captain Jones: "You will recover soon, Captain Jones."

"When the battle comes, don't show off." Captain Jones patted Roy on the shoulder.

If there is such a priest in the investigation team, Captain Jones must keep it tightly in his hands.

Roy's magic can increase the combat power of his elf warriors by a small level. Recently, the Tenth Reconnaissance Team has repeatedly won awards from the Pioneer Group, which has a lot to do with this magic.

A group of elven warriors ran along the corridor stairs towards the city wall.

The sounds of fighting on the city wall became clearer and clearer, with roars and shouts of death intertwined.

There was already a panic on the fortress wall. Roy climbed to the top of the wall and saw the plateau headhunters with spears in their hands coming out of the corner of the wall.

The plateau headhunters were extremely ruthless when fighting.

Their war spears may not be sharp, and their leather armor may not be strong, but they are absolutely not afraid of death. Every plateau headhunter's attacks are extremely ruthless. They will risk serious injuries or stab their opponents to death.

A plateau headhunter was stabbed in the abdomen by an elf warrior. Instead of hiding, he tightly grasped the blade with one hand, and the war spear in the other hand pierced directly into the elf warrior's eye socket...

Although the elf warriors have excellent martial arts skills, they are far less ruthless than the plateau headhunters. Although they are soldiers of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, the elite force of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, they have never experienced such a cruel and bloody battle. For a time, they were beaten by the plateau. The headhunter was so fierce that he was shocked.

The elf warriors were fully armed and stood neatly in a row, with three rows in front and back attacking alternately.

Originally, such a military formation was like a giant steel beast devouring the plateau headhunters at the corner of the city wall, but the plateau headhunters sacrificed their lives in a round of counterattacks and disrupted the formation.

Even though the elven archers on the surrounding arrow towers continued to shoot arrows to kill the plateau headhunters, they were still rushed out bit by bit by the plateau headhunters.

When Captain Jones led the 10th Reconnaissance Team to the city wall, he happened to see three rows of elf warriors being killed by plateau headhunters until only two rows remained. Captain Jones did not even give an order, and the elf warriors running at the front began to Reform the killing array.

Elf warriors wearing silver light armor crowded together closely on the city wall. They all pointed their sword blades at the plateau headhunter on the opposite side and strangled them with their swords at the same time...

In the shadow of the sword, the war spears made of ebony were cut off one after another, and the elven warriors once again had the upper hand.

On the surrounding city walls, plateau headhunters kept coming up one after another.

Before many plateau headhunters could stand firm on the city wall, they were pierced by arrows shot by elven archers and fell to the bottom of the city.

Roy and Captain Jones were the last to climb the city wall, and could only squeeze in at the top of the stairs, unable to rush to the fighting area in front.

However, the elf warriors of the Tenth Reconnaissance Team were very brave. With the strength of their light armor, they once again forced these elf headhunters to the corner of the city...

But at this moment, there was a loud noise from the gate below the fortress.

With a 'dang' sound, the entire city wall trembled slightly, and more than ten seconds later, there was another loud bang from the gate.

Captain Jones' face became extremely ugly. He didn't even have time to summon the elf warriors of the 10th Reconnaissance Team. He only had time to shout:

"The Tenth Reconnaissance Team is following me..."

The elf warriors of the Tenth Reconnaissance Team who were fighting in the military formation couldn't even hear Captain Jones' roar. Only Roy, who was following Captain Jones, heard it very clearly and hurriedly carried the heavy Book of Judgment. Run below.

Only a few elf warriors from the 10th Reconnaissance Team heard Captain Jones's call and followed Captain Jones's footsteps and ran down below.

The plateau headhunters once again attacked the military formation. Blood flowed across the city walls, and many corpses of private soldiers from the mines lay scattered at their feet.

Magic flares frequently fly into the sky, like fireworks at a festival...

…

The plateau headhunters no longer covered up their tracks and began to take advantage of the chaos to attack the main entrance of the fortress.

A group of mining private soldiers hiding not far from the main entrance heard the shouts of killing on the city wall and immediately came out of hiding.

They worked together to push a statue at the gate of the fortress to the back. More than eighty private soldiers from the mine took out ropes as thick as their arms and lifted the statue up.

These private soldiers stood at the gate of the city, pointing the raised arms of the statue at the heavy door studded with black iron spikes, shouting neat chants, and moved step by step to the doorway.

Then eighty private soldiers from the mine moved forward simultaneously and slammed the giant statue into the fortress gate.

'boom'

There was a dent in the gate of the fortress. The heavy wooden board on the gate cracked. Several black iron spikes fell off the wooden gate and rolled down to the entrance of the city gate.

The entire city wall was also shaken by the impact...

Eighty private soldiers from the mine worked together again to hit the door with the statue at the door.

'boom'

No one knows the weakness of the mine fortress better than this group of private soldiers in the mine. The giant statue was hit only twice, and cracks appeared in the heavy wooden door that seemed to be a foot thick. The door bolt behind the door also became a little twisted. The door shaft of the door on the left is also separated from the wall.

The confidence of the private soldiers in the mines increased greatly, and the plateau headhunters hiding behind them also gathered from all directions.

Several elven warriors guarding the first gate saw that the heavy wooden door had become extremely twisted, and even one of the three door bolts on it was broken. They quickly ran out of the door hole and quickly prepared the courtyard. Two wooden carts filled with ore were pushed into the doorway and blocked the entrance.

Then he locked the second door inside the door tightly, and then hurriedly added several supports behind the door.

Then they closed the third door inside the doorway...

Before they could close the third gate, the private army from the mine outside had smashed the first gate of the fortress with a giant statue.

After the wooden door collapsed, the private soldiers of the mine quickly began to clear the obstacles in the doorway.

Carrying the giant statue, he started to rush towards the second gate of the fortress...

…

When Captain Jones and Roy arrived at the gate of the fortress, the first gate had just been broken by the statue of the private army in the mine.

When the gate collapsed, the entire stone floor shook violently.

The elf warriors guarding the gate were also a little stupid. There were only eight elf warriors here. Once the private army from the mine outside broke the door open, these elf warriors would not be able to stop the headhunters from the plateau.

Captain Jones thought about it, turned around and ordered Roy:

"Roy, go open the No. 2 warehouse. You guys will transport all the spinel ore inside and pile it up at the third gate!"

"Yes, Captain Jones!"

Several elf warriors who ran down with Captain Jones quickly agreed.

Roy ran at the front. He had the key to Warehouse No. 2 in his hand. In fact, they were also confused by the sudden change. There was a reconnaissance team lurking in Warehouse No. 2, guarding the secret passage. The door to the warehouse is not closed either...

Roy was very familiar with Warehouse No. 2. He pulled out two flatbed trucks at the entrance of the warehouse and pushed them directly into the warehouse.

These large wooden boxes filled with spinel ore are so heavy that it requires four elf warriors to work together to lift the wooden boxes from the shelves to the flatbed truck.

These large wooden boxes were then pushed to the third gate on flatbed trucks and blocked behind the gate.

The two flatbed trucks made seven or eight trips in succession, but there was just a layer of wooden boxes piled in front of the third wooden door, and the third door began to vibrate slightly.

Unexpectedly, the private army from the mine outside broke through the two gates so quickly and now began to rush towards the last gate.

As long as this door is broken through, the plateau headhunter can directly rush into the mine fortress. It is much easier to climb the rock wall...

At this time, Captain Jones lifted the lids of the two clay pots in the courtyard that looked like water tanks. Roy went over and took a look, and found that the inside was not water, but thick kerosene.

Captain Jones found a long-handled ladle, scooped up the kerosene from the clay pot, and quickly poured it on the wooden boxes filled with ore.

Then he didn't forget to urge Roy: "Why stop? Hurry up and transport a few more boxes of ore. The more you can pile up, the better..."

Roy quickly pushed the flatbed truck and rushed towards the No. 2 warehouse.

The elf warrior guarding the door imitated Captain Jones and poured the kerosene on the wooden box.

The sound of banging outside became louder and louder, the third door also became loose, and even the wall had cracks.

If it weren't for the large amount of ore behind the wooden door, maybe the third door would have been broken...

Seeing that the black iron spikes on the gate fell off and the gate began to tilt inwards, but was blocked by the ore wooden box, Captain Jones grabbed a torch from the wall and threw it casually on the wood covered with kerosene. on the box.

With a 'whoosh', the flames spread out along the path of the poured fire oil.

The entire ore pile burst into flames.

Roy pushed out the wooden boxes filled with gemstones, only to find that the gemstones stacked at the third gate had caught fire, and the wooden boxes quickly began to burn.

"Push this box of ore over..."

Captain Jones ran over while giving instructions and helped Roy and others push the cart together.

Enduring the scorching fire, Roy and several other elf warriors pushed the wooden box into the flames.

There was another loud noise, and the third gate was finally broken through by the private army of the mine. But behind the gate were piles of spinel ore. These ores were originally packed in wooden boxes, but now these wooden boxes have been burned by the fire. After all, the ore was poured with kerosene and burned red.

The third gate had just been broken through, and the ore that burned like red briquettes poured into the door from behind the third gate. The dozen or so private soldiers of the mine standing at the front had no time to dodge, and were directly buried by the hot ore. got up.

The private soldiers of the mine standing behind immediately ran outside crying for their fathers and mothers.

The plateau headhunter who was following behind saw the third gate being broken through, and was about to rush into the fortress with the mining private army, but he collided with the mining private army who escaped from the doorway.

Pungent smoke poured out from the doorway, and the private soldiers in the mine fled from the doorway crying for their fathers and mothers.

The plateau headhunters who tried to rush into the fortress from the main entrance could only take a few steps back with ferocious faces...

Looking at the pile of ore that collapsed into the doorway, the elf warriors in the inner courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. Captain Jones pointed to the half-tank of kerosene by the wall and ordered the several elf warriors:

"Once the fire on the ore pile is small, try to pour some kerosene on it. If the fire doesn't go out, the elf headhunters outside will never be able to rush in through the gate..."

"Yes, Captain Jones."

The eight elf warriors guarding the door replied.

Captain Jones looked up at the city wall, where the battle was still going on.

He said to Roy: "Let's go and take a look at the situation above..."

After saying that, he took Roy, who was a little weak in the legs, and ran towards the city wall. The several elf warriors following behind him were all members of the 10th Reconnaissance Team.
