Path of light

Chapter 369 370. Stubborn Lambo

The Grantham mine owners chose to surrender to the Cavalry Pioneers, and almost all the weapons and armor of the First Mine Private Army remained in the mine.

The elven warriors of the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment naturally looked down upon these weapons and armors. After occupying the first mine, these weapons and armors were sealed in the warehouse. As trophies, these materials may not be transported by the logistics group until the war is won. Return to Padstow City.

Now that Roy has formed a mine guard army, these weapons and armors must of course be distributed to the mixed elves in the first mine.

Roy and Rambo opened the door of the warehouse. There were rows of neat wooden shelves in the dark warehouse.

It has to be said that the owner of Grantham Mine is indeed an excellent manager. He manages the mine in an orderly manner, and the situation below the mine is always under his control. Otherwise, the mixed-blood elf mine slave would not be able to They will have an absolute advantage in the mine. You must know that neither the gray dwarves, who are as strong as wild bulls, nor the Dark Moon Elf prisoners who can hide in the dark, are not something these mixed-blood elf mine slaves can fight against.

When Roy asked Walker about the details of these matters, he discovered that there should be traces of secret manipulation by the owner of the Grantham mine.

Apparently, the warehouse of the first mine was also kept very neatly by the owner of Grantham Mine.

These neatly arranged shelves are divided into five levels. The helmet is placed on the top level, then the shoulder pads and arm armor, the breastplate is placed on the middle level, and the wrist guards and chain gloves are also placed on the breastplate. On both sides, there are belts and trousers on the lower layer, and greaves and boots on the bottom layer. All the armors are neatly arranged.

It was obviously not the first time Rambo had entered this warehouse. He lit the torch on the shelf at the door of the warehouse familiarly.

"This Grantham mine owner is really rich. These armors are well maintained." Lambo praised in a low voice.

Roy walked inside and passed through several rows of armor shelves. Rows of weapon racks were displayed in front of him. On these weapon racks were elven long swords with scabbards, and the silver handles were coated with a thin layer of Oil film should also be a brand new elf sword.

Walking further inside, you can see rows of unstrung hardwood longbows hanging on the shelves, and the bowstrings are placed in rolls under the shelves.

The feathers and arrows are also stored separately. The sharp wolf-tooth arrow clusters are placed in a wooden box. The arrow shafts are bundled together and placed in bundles on the shelf. The tail feathers of the arrows are cut and lightly cut in boxes. feather.

There are at least 500 sets of armor stored here, which should be more than enough for the mixed-blood elf guards in the first and second mines.

Rambo held a torch and followed Roy and asked:

"Roy, do we really need to form a guard?"

Roy picked up a hardwood bow. Although the bowstring was not hung, he could feel that the bow arm of this hardwood bow was very powerful.

Compared with alloy bows, these hardwood bows are obviously lighter and more suitable for elves to use.

Roy put the hardwood bow back on the hanger and said:

"Well, the second mine has been formed, and a guard team needs to be formed here. Lambo, I don't have many trustworthy friends around me. You can be the captain of the guard team of the first mine. !”

Rambo was startled. He was holding an elf sword. When he heard Roy's words, he almost dropped the elf sword on the ground.

"Me? I'm afraid I'm not good enough..." Lambo hesitated, he was a little unsure.

He has always followed his father Lysander no matter what he does. Now he is asked to lead a guard team, and he obviously lacks confidence.

Roy turned around, patted Lambo on the shoulder, and comforted him:

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t do well, you can learn slowly.

I'm not the same. Before I came to Pagisto Plateau, I was just a student at the Elf Academy.

Now I have to bite the bullet and take over several mines. There are currently five mines waiting for me to take over, but I can only manage two at the moment, so I will take over the two mines and leave the other mines alone for now. Pay attention.

When things at the first mine are smoothed out, I will take over the third mine.

These three mines are all built on this spinel vein. According to Earl Swinburne's idea, I will be temporarily responsible for the management..."

Hearing what Roy said, Rambo seemed to have some ideas. He said to Roy:

"Roy, I will try my best to be the captain of the guard team."

Mu Lin originally brought over a hundred mixed-blood elf warriors, and Roy brought another two hundred mixed-blood elf warriors this time, so the first mine could barely gather three hundred mixed-blood elf warriors.

…

The next morning, Roy took Lambo to set up the first mine guard team and appointed Lambo as the captain of the guard team.

This time Roy distributed armor, long swords and hard bows to three hundred mixed elf warriors.

At noon, Captain Kepler arrived at the first mine with the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group. When the Silver Moon Elf warriors stationed in the mine saw the Captain arriving, they all stood there and headed towards Cape Commander Le salutes.

Rambo quickly arranged for the change of guard between the mixed-blood elf guards and the Silver Moon Elf warriors. The Silver Moon Elf warriors had already packed their luggage in the morning.

After the changing of the guard here, Captain Kepler did not stop at the first mine and returned directly to the valley camp.

…

After Captain Kepler led the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group to leave the first mine, Roy took the time to check on the operation of the first mine.

What he held in his hand was the spinel mine's storage list for the past two days, but the list recorded the amount of spinel ore delivered every day, which was not even one-tenth of the second mine.

Roy immediately called Lambo over.

"Roy, what do you want from me?"

Lambo was wearing a set of metal armor, and the scraping sound of the metal pieces was a bit harsh when he walked, but Lambo didn't care.

Roy shook the gem mine storage list in his hand and asked Lambeau:

"Is this the only spinel ore delivered from the mine these days?"

Rambo seemed a little nervous and said to Roy:

"Well, the delivery volume of the gem mine has continued to decrease for two consecutive weeks. We also communicated by note at the beginning, but there was no reply from the mine."

"Because the mixed-blood elf miners have been rescued by us, and there are only a group of prisoners and bandits left inside, I tried to reduce the food rations as a threat to them. After a few days, it had no effect, so I added food Quotas have been raised, but the supply of ale and rum has been suspended.”

Lambo looked at Roy with some anxiety, as if he was waiting for Roy's harsh criticism.

"There's nothing wrong with what you did!" Roy patted Lambo on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Roy knew that underground the first mine, the mixed-blood elf slaves originally had the upper hand. After the mixed-blood elf slaves left, only the Dark Moon elf prisoners and gray dwarf bandits were left. At first, they could compromise with each other for food. But there will definitely be a fight for dominance at the mine entrance later.

It's just that it's not clear yet which side has the advantage.

In short, the fighting below the mine is one of the main reasons for the sharp decline in ore production in the No. 1 mine.

Roy has lived in the kingdom of elves since he was a child, so when the gray dwarf bandits and the Dark Moon elf prisoners were compared together, his heart was more willing to lean towards the elves.

Roy walked out of the room and came to the wellhead in the courtyard. Sure enough, the supplies piled here were reduced a lot.

He asked several mixed-blood elves on duty at the wellhead:

"Have you heard any strange noises coming from below the mine recently?"

"There were occasional sounds two weeks ago, but it's been quiet recently!" Several mixed-blood elves replied in unison.

Roy sighed, maybe he discovered this a little late.

However, there are currently only some prisoners and robbers underground. Even if they all die together, there will be no loss.

But if the first mine needs to operate normally, this matter must be resolved...

He looked at the boom next to the mine. It was completely different from the boom in the second mine. Perhaps the owner of Grantham Mine did a good job in daily maintenance of the boom. All parts of this boom were in very good condition. Very good, even the ropes are dipped in tung oil.

He stood next to the wooden box. This big box should be able to hold six or seven elf warriors, and he thought about bringing an elf fighting team with him again and sneaking into the well.

Unfortunately, Captain Kepler had just left the first mine, and Mu Lin was at the second mine. Roy really couldn't assemble an elite combat team at the moment.

Lambo also noticed that Roy was walking around the mine, as if he had some radical ideas, and he kept following Roy.

"Lambaud, I want to go into the mine and have a look. You can help me guard it..."

Before Roy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lambo:

"Roy, don't be stupid. Apart from the gray dwarf bandits, there are a group of prisoners down here. If you go down, they won't tear you apart!"

"I am very experienced in this kind of thing. When we were in the Second Mine, Mulin and I went into the mine. Not only did we rescue the mixed elves, but we also subdued the Dark Moon Elf prisoners. It was simply a gift to the Second Mine. The mine has opened up a new situation!" Roy said to Rambo.

"Don't say I don't believe it. Even if I believe these are true, I won't let you take the risk." Lambo's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth.

Rambo was obviously frightened by Roy's decision. No matter what Roy said, he did not agree with Roy's risk of entering the mine.

Seeing that Lambeau was determined not to let himself take risks, Roy could only give up the idea temporarily.

He took a team of mixed-blood elf warriors and two hundred sets of armors and weapons, and spent a day riding back to the second mine.

As expected, the Second Mine is more vibrant, and the entire mine is undergoing large-scale transformation work.

Roy followed the stone steps dug by the mixed-blood elves and entered the underground of the second mine again. This time he directly found the Dark Moon Elf underground.

When a group of Dark Moon elves saw Master Roy going down the well in person, they thought he was going to make a deal with the somewhat complacent gray dwarves in person, and hurriedly came to greet him...
