Chapter 379 380. Gray Dwarf Bandits

(Hey, 2024, we are here! Happy New Year everyone!)

Roy hesitated.

He had just arrived at the third mine with his guard team...

During this journey, the elf warriors had neither recovered physically nor mentally, and were unable to display their peak combat power.

He originally planned to rest for a night in the third mine, wait for the elven warriors to recover, and then sneak into the mine to deal with the gray dwarf bandits.

But when Timothy proposed a raid on the mine, Roy felt that this plan was feasible.

Moreover, this group of Dark Moon Elf warriors had high fighting spirit. After tonight, perhaps their vigor would disappear.

He cast his gaze on a bed covered with tarpaulin outside the warehouse on the fourth floor. He frowned and pondered for a while before making up his mind and said to Timothy:

"When we enter the mine later, I will lead a team of mixed elf warriors to attract the attention of these gray dwarf bandits. You sneak around behind and ambush them. Be sure to capture the entrance to the shaft!"

"Yes, boss!"

Seeing that Roy had listened to his suggestion, Captain Timothy replied excitedly.

Roy turned his head and ordered a mixed elf warrior captain beside him:

"Vitas, take someone to carry the hanging box from the warehouse, and we'll go there later..."

The mixed elves connected the three hanging boxes together and hung them on the derrick.

After everything was ready, Roy led a team of ten mixed-blood elf warriors to jump onto the first hanging box first, and waited for the mixed-blood elf warriors on the derrick platform to push the winch and sink the first hanging box into the mine. The two hanging boxes fell on the platform of the derrick. Timothy led a team of ten dark moon elves to board the hanging box. As the hanging box moved downward, the third hanging box slowly landed on the platform of the derrick. Tennyson led the second team of Darkmoon elves onto the third hanging box.

The hanger carried thirty elf warriors. The ropes on the pulleys were pulled straight. As the mixed elves on the platform pushed the winch, the three hanging boxes in a series slowly fell downwards.

When the hanging box completely sank into the shaft, Roy's eyes fell into darkness again.

But as he recited a prayer quickly, a ball of 'holy light' floated up, and the soft holy light shone on the faces of every mixed-blood elf warrior in the hanging box.

Roy sat back in the hanging box and asked with a smile to the ten young mixed elves sitting around him:

"Are you scared?"

These young mixed-blood elf warriors looked a little shy and shook their heads quickly.

Roy held the 'Book of Judgment' and continued:

"The gray dwarf bandits you are about to face have modified mining picks, shields, and simple armors in their hands. They are a group of real bandits! So when fighting them, remember to put away your compassion and don't Don’t hesitate, and don’t take chances. Those gray dwarf bandits under the mines are all desperadoes, don’t give them any chance! Otherwise, we will be the ones who fall.”

"When the hanging box lands, the four of you will be at the front holding your shields, so you must jump out of the hanging box with your shields as soon as possible."

Roy said to the elf warrior with the iris shield on his arm.

After that, he said to the two elf swordsmen:

"You two and I follow the four of them, follow closely. When the gray dwarf bandits rush over, we must immediately follow the gap in the shield and give each other a fatal blow. Can we protect them and prevent them from being injured? It depends on whether the three of us take decisive action."

"The four of you stand in the third row. If you see any gray dwarfs injured during the battle, try to deal with them quickly."

"Do you hear what I said clearly?"

"I know, boss." The mixed elf warrior replied.

Roy quickly made a silent gesture and lowered his voice:

"Okay, relax and take a deep breath!"

Afterwards, Roy blessed every mixed-blood elf in the hanging box with the 'Blessing of Strength'. He carefully sorted out the magic patterns on his body and tied the chain of the 'Book of Judgment' around his waist.

He stood in the middle of a group of mixed-blood elf warriors, looking expressionless. In fact, he was more nervous than any elf warrior. The hand holding the sacred scepter was already sweating. Roy wrapped a roll of bandages around it. The hand with the sacred scepter feels better this way.

The hanging box descends very slowly, but very smoothly during the descent.

Obviously, the infrastructure facilities of the third mine are obviously better than those of the other two mines, especially the hangers built on the platform, which inspired Roy deeply.

In the future, the elevators of the second mine may also need to install such a strong hanger to make the elevators more stable.

After a long fall, the hanging box finally landed firmly at the bottom of the shaft.

The moment the car fell into the shaft, four shield-wielding mixed-blood elf warriors rolled out as quickly as possible. Using the faint light in the sacred mine, they rushed straight towards the gray dwarf bandits guarding the entrance of the cave.

Roy and the two mixed-blood elf swordsmen followed closely behind the four shield-holding elf warriors.

At this time, the gray dwarf bandits had already discovered the elf warriors rushing out of the hanging box. They were shocked for a moment. They did not expect that there would be elf warriors rushing down at this time...

But then, the eight gray dwarf bandits guarding the entrance of the cave started moving almost at the same time. They shouted loudly in Dwarf language. The two gray dwarf bandits took the lead and rushed into the mine of the shaft. They raised their mining picks high and headed towards the mixed-blood The top of the elf warrior's head was scratched.

The mixed-blood elf warriors raised the iris shields in their hands, took a bow, bent their knees, and swung the elf swords horizontally in unison.

Although the gray dwarf bandits were a little short, their movements were not slow at all. When they saw the long sword swung by the mixed-blood elf, they instantly put their shields in front of them.

The next moment, four mixed-blood elf warriors collided with two gray dwarf bandits.

The mixed-blood elf warrior possesses the 'blessing of strength', and four of them exerted their strength at the same time, which immediately caused a heavy loss to the two gray dwarf bandits who rushed forward in a hurry.

The two gray dwarf bandits leaned back and took two steps back before being blocked by their companions who rushed up from behind.

Although there was no injury, the momentum of the charge was blocked.

The mixed-blood elf warriors instantly took the initiative, especially the two swordsmen hiding behind the shield-holding elf warriors. They thrust their swords out almost through the gaps in the shields.

The gray dwarf robber did not notice the two sword blades spitting messages like poisonous snakes, and the long sword pierced the gray dwarf robber's belly.

Suddenly the two gray dwarf bandits' lower abdomens were bleeding profusely...

The two gray dwarf bandits who rushed at the front fell down, and the elf warriors continued to push forward with shields in hand.

The gray dwarf bandit behind also held up a wooden shield like a door panel and quickly set up a second line of defense...

A hammer of judgment that exuded holy light spun, flew out from behind the mixed elf, and accurately hit the gray dwarf robber on the forehead. A bloody hole the size of a fist was immediately punched out of the gray dwarf's head, and he fell on his back.

The elven warriors chopped down three gray dwarf bandits in a row, and their morale immediately increased.

The mood of the gray dwarf bandits suddenly fell to the bottom. Their eyes were full of fear, and they all used all their strength to hold up the door planks and wooden shields in their hands.

The gray dwarf bandits behind have already caught up. These gray dwarf bandits are destined to be much stronger than the mixed elf warriors. After only a few rounds of fighting, they regained the upper hand...

In the small space of such a mine, the elven warriors cannot display their combat skills and can only compete head-on with the gray dwarf bandits.

Obviously, the mixed-blood elf warriors were weaker. The gray dwarf's mining pick hit the iris shield and immediately carved a hole as big as a bowl in the iris shield.

The shields in the hands of the four shield-holding elf warriors were almost pierced by the mining picks, and the gray dwarf bandits took the opportunity to overthrow the mixed elf warriors to the ground.

Several mixed-blood elf warriors were injured one after another, and the entrance to the mine was also involved in a melee.

Holding the 'Book of Judgment' in his hand, Roy blocked the mining pick that the gray dwarf bandit had carved out. He swung the sacred scepter in his hand and hit it hard on the shoulder of the gray dwarf bandit opposite. The scepter exuded a faint light. The holy light, all the magic patterns on his body are functioning...

Stone Skin Technique, Iron Armor Technique, Magic Armor Technique, Physical Recovery, Elegance of Wind, Power of Giant Bear, Flexible Thoughts, a total of seven magic pattern arrays are activated at the same time.

In the dim mine, Roy had a magical light that could not be concealed.

Possessing both the 'Blessing of Strength' and the 'Power of the Giant Bear', Roy's power at this moment has almost doubled.

The gray dwarf bandits on the opposite side even smelled the smell of rock from Roy.

The moment the inconspicuous-looking scepter landed on the gray dwarf robber's shoulder, the gray dwarf robber felt as if there was a huge mountain on his shoulder.

Then, the gray dwarf bandit's left shoulder suddenly collapsed, and his collarbone and shoulder blade shattered at the same time.

With a scream, the gray dwarf bandit fell down wailing...

…

The melee at the entrance of the shaft quickly disturbed the gray dwarf bandits in the mine.

These gray dwarf bandits rushed out of the mine, stood in front of the shaft entrance, and fought with the half-blood elf warriors...

The hanging box in the shaft has been pulled up by the mixed-blood elf warriors on the platform. Roy and the mixed-blood elf warriors are unable to retreat in the shaft.

The ten mixed-blood elf warriors were all slightly injured. Almost all of the shield-holding elf warriors' left arms were fractured and could no longer continue fighting. Roy and two elf swordsmen stood at the entrance of the mine, followed by four people holding spears. A mixed-blood elf warrior.

Roy only brought four mixed-blood elf warriors down to the mine. If one of them was injured, his combat power would be reduced.

On the other hand, the gray dwarf bandits kept rushing into the mine.

Although eight gray dwarf bandits fell down in front, the gray dwarf bandits rushing up from behind suppressed the mixed elf warriors.

Even Roy was hit four times with a mining pickaxe. If it weren't for the armor and stone skin protection, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape the broken bones and tendons...

The gray dwarf bandits came out of the mine and occupied half of the shaft. They were about to devour Roy's fighting team in one go. The gray dwarf bandits howled with excitement...

But at this moment, twenty Dark Moon Elf assassins suddenly appeared around the rock wall of the shaft mine, as if they appeared out of thin air in the dark night.

The gray dwarf bandits were completely unprepared. Each of these assassins had their own goals. There were only a dozen gray dwarf bandits who originally rushed into the shaft mine. Almost all of them were choked by the Dark Moon Elf warriors at almost the same time.

The gray dwarf bandits pinched their own necks with their hands, and blood continued to flow from the gaps between their fingers.

They are trying to breathe...

But he found that what he breathed into his lungs was not air, but his own thick blood.

The gray dwarf bandits were lying on the ground one after another, while the Dark Moon Elves led by Captain Timothy once again disappeared into the darkness.

Discovering the appearance of Dark Moon Elf assassins, the gray dwarf bandits at the entrance of the mine were frightened and quickly shrank back. They also skillfully hung up lanterns in the mine tunnel, trying to make these Dark Moon Elf warriors emerge from the darkness.

As the gray dwarf bandits retreated into the mine tunnel, the half-blood elf team once again guarded the entrance to the shaft.

Captain Timothy led the Dark Moon Elf warriors into the mine tunnel.

The gray dwarf bandits on the opposite side sprinkled a handful of moon stone powder into the mine tunnel. In the shimmering stone powder, Captain Timothy and other Dark Moon Elf warriors revealed their body outlines.

Captain Timothy also noticed the moonstone powder and quickly retreated from the mine with the Dark Moon Elves...

"Damn, how did they know to use moonstone powder to reveal us?"

When Captain Timothy returned from the mine tunnel, his face was very ugly.

He failed to seize this opportunity and attacked the mine tunnel in front of him in one go.

Once the mine tunnel cannot be occupied, the Dark Moon Elf warriors will not be able to sneak into the mine...

Now Roy's team of elf warriors is trapped in the small mine below the shaft.

The advantages of the mixed-blood elf warriors are not obvious in terms of weapons. The gray dwarf bandits not only have thin armors, but each gray dwarf warrior has been baptized by countless battles. They cannot be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, but they are more experienced than the young mixed-blood elves. Much more.

A gray dwarf leader wearing thick iron armor strode into the mine. He was holding a hammer in his hand. His beard almost hung down to the top of his feet. His muscles were extremely strong. He almost ran into the mine at a trot. Daoli.

Behind him was a large group of duergar bandits...

…

Roy wiped the bloody corners of his mouth and stared at the gray dwarf leader who rushed out of the mine tunnel.

The four mixed-blood elf warriors holding shields were all injured. The four mixed-blood elf warriors who were standing behind Roy quickly picked up the shields on the ground, crossed Roy and held them against the entrance of the mine...

Seeing the gray dwarf leader rushing up, Roy opened the 'Book of Judgment' again. A hammer of holy light condensed from the divine pattern, and then continued to spin and fly towards the gray dwarf leader.

The gray dwarf leader roared and at the same time rounded the hammer in his hand...

‘Bang! ’

The Holy Light Hammer and the two-handed hammer collided in the air, making a muffled sound. The hammer head of the two-handed hammer in the gray dwarf leader's hand was broken by the Holy Light Hammer...

The gray dwarf leader appeared in front of Roy, stretched out his strong right hand, grabbed Roy's shoulder, rounded the hammer handle with his left hand, and smashed it towards Roy's forehead.
