Path of light

Chapter 352 353. Mu Lin

Earl Swinburne came to the Pagisto Plateau and only stayed at the Valley Camp for a moment. Then he led the Silver Pegasus Legion to the Mine Fortress. He chatted secretly with Roy for a whole afternoon before leading the Silver Pegasus Legion back to the Valley Camp.

…

After Captain Yalig heard the news, he realized how wrong Captain Hercules of the Pioneer Regiment was.

When Earl Swinburne was able to stuff people into the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment, it already showed that there was a lot of inside information, but Captain Hercules always failed to grasp the point.

He actually left a young man whom Earl Swinburne valued so much in the vanguard and ignored him...

If that's all, forget it.

Several battles had been fought like shit, and now it was up to the Silver Pegasus Legion to clean up the mess.

For the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, the honor of the Legion trumps everything else.

Captain Hercules brought shame to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. He was not directly dismissed from his post and investigated, which shows that the Hercules family still has great influence in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. .

What Captain Yarig didn't know was how many promises Roy got from Count Swinburne after talking with him...

Of course, with the arrival of the main force of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion on the Pagisto Plateau, the headhunters in the southwest region finally saw the power of the Silver Pegasus warriors.

After the disappearance of the Elf Dragon Riders and Hippogryph Knights in the Elf Kingdom, the Silver Pegasus Warriors can be regarded as the most mobile air force.

After several small-scale battles, the plateau headhunters abandoned the southwestern region of the Pagisto Plateau.

In just one night, the plateau headhunters completely disappeared from the southwestern area of ​​the Pagisto Plateau.

…

In the fortress of the spinel mine, a banquet to welcome the mixed-blood elves was being held.

As the manager of this mine, Roy personally prepared a dinner to entertain these young mixed-race elves who came out of the mountains.

Roy waited in the mine fortress for ten days, and Lambo finally arrived at the mine with one hundred and fifty mixed-blood elves. The leader of this team was also a mixed-blood elf whom Roy knew - Mulin.

Wearing a suit of armor, she walked out of the crowd, carrying an alloy bow behind her and a long sword on her waist.

Mu Lin is not a very good-looking mixed-blood elf. She even has some light freckles on her cheekbones. Her skin is slightly darker, and it seems that she should have the blood of the Dark Moon Elf.

With thin lips, an upward curve at the corners of his mouth, and confidence in his eyes, he strode up to Roy.

Lambo followed Mu Lin and became a foil at this moment.

Roy walked forward with a smile and said to Rambo:

"Lambaud, I thought you would be delayed for a while on the road, but I didn't expect you to arrive in such time!"

Rambo looked around. The inner courtyard of the fortress was very tidy, and many of the damaged areas had been repaired during the battle. Only the gate of the fortress had not yet been repaired. It could only be built with wooden boxes containing gemstones. Go out of the screen wall and block the door.

"Roy, this is Mu Lin, she is the captain of our team." Lambo introduced to Roy.

Mu Lin generously extended her hand to Roy...

Roy quickly held it.

It was a hand covered with rough calluses, which must have been sharpened by frequent sword practice.

Moreover, her arms looked very powerful, and she seemed to be a swordsman with excellent swordsmanship.

Mu Lin's eyes fell on Roy and said casually:

"We've met! Roy."

She is a very generous mixed-blood elf woman with a somewhat strong personality. She probably inherited some of the talents of both the Dark Moon Elf and the Silver Moon Elf. Her eyes are not only confident, but also a bit aggressive.

Before Roy could speak, Mu Lin said to Roy again:

"I heard from Lambo that you wanted to hire us to work in the mine. When we first heard the news, we were actually a little resistant to the proposal. You also know that some of our compatriots have just escaped from the mine, and naturally they don't want to go back. To this side of the mine.”

Only then did Roy know that...the mixed-blood elves who had become slaves in the mines had indeed returned to their gathering place inside the mountain.

Mu Lin smiled and said to Roy again:

"But you are a big customer who purchases magic herbs here at our gathering place. We sometimes have to seriously consider some of the requirements of big customers, so we adventurous young elves heard your call and rushed over. ."

Roy found that Mu Lin was really a very talkative elf, and she always had a smile on her face, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted when talking.

"Thank you for coming!" Roy said.

Mu Lin retracted her hand and replied humorously:

"And thank you for giving us this opportunity!"

…

In fact, Roy knew very little about this mine, especially what was going on underneath the mine.

He only knows that there are currently some Dark Moon Elf prisoners and gray dwarf bandits being imprisoned under the mine. As for the mixed-blood elf mine slaves, they have been released long ago...

Now that he has officially taken over the mine, he naturally needs to understand the situation below the mine.

Lambo brought back a team of mixed elves as promised, which for Roy could be regarded as a solution to his current urgent need.

Earl Swinburne put Roy in charge of managing the mine. Of course, it was impossible for the reconnaissance brigade of the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment to be stationed at the mine all the time.

But without the reconnaissance brigade of the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment, there would be no other defensive measures at the mine, and it would be impossible to resist the raids of the plateau headhunters.

Now that Rambo has arrived with a team of mixed-blood elves, the reconnaissance team will be leaving the mine soon.

Roy arranged for these mixed elves to have something to eat in the restaurant first.

And he and Rambo returned to Roy's office.

This is a suite, with bookshelves, tables and chairs outside, a bedroom inside, and a bathroom.

Roy asked Rambo to sit down quickly.

I haven't seen Lambo for several days, and I can see that he is quite haggard, especially because the leather armor on his body is covered with mud and water...

Roy took out a spiritual potion from his magic pocket and handed it to Rambo.

Rambo pulled out the cork, put it under his nose and smelled it. After all, he was reluctant to drink it and put the spiritual potion in his arms.

Roy didn't care and just said to Lambeau:

"The news came from the valley camp last night. The mine owner heard that the main force of the Silver Pegasus Army had arrived on the plateau. He abandoned the mine fortress overnight and fled to the depths of the plateau with his family. Currently, the mine has It was occupied by the Silver Pegasus Legion."

Lambo suddenly stood up and said excitedly:

"You mean the main force of the Silver Pegasus Army has arrived at Pagisto Plateau?"

"Yes." Roy continued: "Captain Hercules failed to capture the second mine despite all his efforts. Unexpectedly, the main force of the Silver Pegasus Army had just arrived on the plateau, and the mine owner actually absconded... …”

Lambo looked a little excited: "In other words... the Silver Pegasus Army captured another mine without any effort? The mixed-blood elves underground will also be rescued?"

Roy said: "The mixed-blood elf is still underground for the time being and has not been rescued. The situation there may be a bit complicated, and they are still waiting for me to take over."

Speaking of which, the mine owner was too spineless.

Just hearing the name of the main force of the Silver Pegasus Legion made him run away in panic...

This caught him off guard, especially since the first mine had not yet been planned and he was about to take over the second mine.

Where can he find so many people...

Lambo was also a little dumbfounded: "So urgent?"

"Well, and the reconnaissance team will probably evacuate from the mine tomorrow. Of course, the valley camp will send a guard team of about a hundred people to help us guard the mine fortress. Lambo, you have to maintain the normal operation of the mine. "Roy rubbed his forehead in distress.

"Okay." Soon, Lambo began to worry with Roy.

Then, he said to Roy: "Roy, among the mixed elves I brought here, some of them climbed out of the mine. I guess they should be familiar with the situation below the mine. If you need to know anything, you can go Ask them."

Roy nodded, but he couldn't control that much for the time being. These things could only be done step by step, so he said:

"Let the mine operate normally first, and we will deal with the rest later."

"What to do with the mixed elves in the second mine?" Lambo asked.

Roy said: "I will first find a way to rescue the Elf slaves in the mine. Other things can be postponed. Lambo, go and invite Mu Lin."

…

Mu Lin was no stranger to this mine. She had stood outside the mine several times and looked at the heavily guarded spinel mine from afar.

Elf headhunters capture half-blood elves everywhere, and then sell those half-blood elves as slaves to various mine owners.

This mine is considered to be the most remote mine in the southwest corner of the Pagisto Plateau. It is relatively small in scale and there is only one mine in the mine.

At the beginning, Mu Lin had planned to gather a group of mixed-blood elf warriors to capture the mine and rescue the mixed-blood elf slaves inside. To this end, she made some battle plans.

Unfortunately, every battle plan submitted failed to gain support from the elders at the gathering place.

Now she walked into the fortress and carefully examined the internal layout of the fortress. When she recalled the previous battle plans, combined with the internal structure of the fortress she saw now, it was obvious that it was impractical to break through the fortress.

She could only shrug her shoulders, secretly glad that she didn't act recklessly...

The mine owner's fortress is definitely very strong.

Lying in a wooden basin filled with warm water, Mu Lin felt so comfortable that she wanted to sing. She scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it down from her head...

The living conditions here are very good, not only has a comfortable big bed, but also a bath.

There was endless fruit in the restaurant, many of which Mu Lin had never eaten before.

After taking a bath, Mu Lin stood up from the bathtub and wrapped a towel around her body...

The door was gently pushed open, and Mu Lin suddenly became a little nervous. Her armor and sword were still piled on the wooden bed in the room. In the bathroom here, there was only one that could be picked up for fighting. Just a handful.

And the way she is now, she can't move her legs at all.

"Sister Mu Lin..."

A soft voice came from the room, and Mu Lin's hanging heart finally settled down. It was Windsor's voice.

Mu Lin opened the curtain of the bathroom and walked out of it wrapped in a bath towel. She frowned and said to Windsor:

"How many times have I told you to call me captain."

Windsor pouted, feeling a little aggrieved, but did not dare to contradict Mu Lin, and whispered: "Captain, Director Roy asked you to come over to discuss some things."

Mu Lin wiped her wet hair with a dry towel and asked casually:

"Oh, did they say anything to discuss?"

"I don't know this..."

Windsor said with a simple face.

…

There are sufficient supplies in the mine, and the logistics team transported a large amount of supplies the day before yesterday, including dozens of boxes of fruit and two barrels of rum.

The restaurant smelled of honey and lemon. In fact, Roy hoped that the logistics team would transport some frozen fish...

Sitting in the restaurant and talking about business seems to have become a habit in the mine.

After taking a shower, Mu Lin did not wear leather armor, but wore a simple linen skirt with a belt around her waist. Before her hair was dry, she came to the restaurant with her follower Windsor.

Roy and Rambo were sitting at the end of a dining table, holding a piece of parchment and writing and drawing on it.

Mu Lin walked over and Roy quickly asked her to sit down.

"The Silver Pegasus Army has captured the second mine, and we need to go and take over as soon as possible. The situation in the mine is a bit complicated. The mixed-blood elf slaves underground have not been able to escape, so I have to rush there as soon as possible, Mu Lin. , are you interested in going with me?" Roy asked Mu Lin with a smile.

"I have no problem! Do you need to bring other people?" Mu Lin said cheerfully without any hesitation.

"Of course we have to bring some, we need manpower to guard the mine..." Roy said.

"When do we leave?"

Roy said: "Tomorrow morning, we have to wait for the reconnaissance team to evacuate from here and arrange things in the mine before setting off..."

…

The next morning, the elf warriors of the reconnaissance team began to gather in the courtyard. They had packed their bags and couldn't wait to leave the mine.

The memories left for them here are actually not very good.

Now they just want to return to the valley camp as soon as possible to see Captain Yalig who is being reviewed there.

The reconnaissance team left the mine. There will be a lack of elf guards here. The Silver Pegasus Legion has sent a team of Silver Moon elf warriors to serve as mine guards and will arrive at the mine before noon.

There seemed to be some chaos in the inner courtyard. This time the reconnaissance team had to transport a batch of spinel ore from warehouse No. 2 to the valley camp.

Roy put the gem mines in Warehouse No. 2 into linen bags to make it easier for the elf warriors of the reconnaissance brigade to transport...

Fortunately, with the help of the mixed-blood elves brought over by Lambo, the gem mine was quickly installed.

Roy handed over bags of gemstones to the elf warriors of the reconnaissance brigade. Most of these elf warriors had fought alongside Roy, and they all said goodbye to Roy when they left.

Everyone felt that Roy was very generous, knowing that they didn't want to stay and found so many mixed elves.

By the time the reconnaissance team completely left the mine fortress, it was almost noon. The elf guards dispatched from the valley camp successfully arrived at the mine fortress, and Roy had to arrange for them to stay.

After everything is finished, it is already afternoon.

Roy did not dare to delay at the first mine, so he took Mu Lin and twenty mixed elves on horseback and rushed to the second mine...
