Chapter 399 400. Forming a Guard Army

Roy took the lead and rushed into the castle of the Black Iron Mine in North Gazai. The war horse stopped on the steps of the castle, forcing the two Silver Moon Elf warriors guarding the door to take two steps back.

The mixed-blood elf miners queuing up here to receive supplies also looked at Roy in great surprise.

They didn't even know what was going on. Until now, these mixed elf miners still haven't figured out why the silver moon elf warriors in front of them distributed these living supplies to them.

Captain Brad stood on the second floor terrace of the castle. He dropped a bunch of keys in his hand from a high place. Roy reached out to catch the bunch of keys.

A bunch of copper keys made a crisp sound.

Captain Brad narrowed his eyes and said to Roy, "I'll leave this to you."

After speaking, he stood on the terrace and shouted loudly to a large group of mixed-blood elves at his feet:

"Everyone, the new mine owner will now make arrangements for you. The Silver Moon Elf Guard Group has announced its official withdrawal."

He didn't even communicate with Roy. He turned around and walked down the stairs gracefully. When passing Roy, he said expressionlessly: "I don't want to know your name, and I don't want us to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Damn it." Being late made my guard team wait for more than three weeks..."

After Captain Brad said this, he walked out of the castle without looking back.

At the gate of the city, a Silver Moon Elf warrior was waiting there holding a horse. Captain Brad got on his horse, and a group of Silver Moon Elf warriors quickly evacuated from the castle. From the beginning to the end, there was no mixed-race elf with Roy. The warriors communicated.

They just exited the castle without saying a word, and the mixed-blood elf warriors brought over by Roy quickly occupied various sentries in the castle...

Everyone completed the handover in silence, and Captain Brad and the Silver Moon Elf warriors had already prepared their departure bags. These Silver Moon Elf warriors left the Kasai North Black Iron without even looking back. Mine.

Only a group of half-blood elven miners were left in a daze, looking stupidly at the half-blood elven warriors wearing standard armor in front of them...

…

"I am the top officer of the Half-Blood Elf Guard and the owner of the mine... From now on, I will be responsible for managing this mine."

Roy stood on the steps and shouted to the mixed-blood elf miners in the yard.

The sudden appearance of several mixed-blood elf warriors made the mixed-blood elf miners in the yard feel more friendly.

They all asked about the origins of these mixed elf warriors.

I heard the mixed-blood elf warriors say that they were originally miners in a nearby mine. Later, Boss Roy took over their mine and they became the mine guards.

These mixed-blood elf miners breathed a sigh of relief...

Everyone thought that after the black iron mine had a new mine owner, it would return to the mine to mine, but it seems that is not the case now.

Roy looked at half of the supplies distributed and hesitated for a moment.

All the mixed-blood elf warriors were standing in the yard, regardless of whether they had received supplies or those who had not.

Roy looked at the mixed elves in the yard. He raised his head and said sincerely:

"I know! Everyone will want to leave here immediately after being freed. This is the most urgent wish in the heart of every mixed-blood elf miner."

"In this dark iron mine, everyone has suffered countless days and nights. Now that they are free, they all want to go home."

"I believe that many of the mixed-blood elves present were captured by plateau headhunters. There are many mixed-blood elf warriors around me who were captured by plateau headhunters before and then sold to the mines. They worked in the mines for several years. of hard work.”

"This is the Aidas Peak in the Gasi Mountains. If you want to return to the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, you have to leave the Gasi Mountains and walk along the Sudarso Mountains for more than half a month. I don't want to describe the journey. How dangerous it is. I just want to tell you about the danger we are facing right now. Due to some reasons, the main force of the Silver Pegasus Legion has gradually withdrawn from the Partington plane. Those headhunters who have done many evil things are about to make a comeback from the north of the plateau. The entire Pagisto Plateau will once again be shadowed by the highland headhunters."

"But this black iron mine will be the first bridgehead against headhunting on the plateau."

Roy paused and found that all the mixed elves were looking at him.

Everyone's breathing became extremely heavy...

Many mixed-blood elves have witnessed the brutality of plateau headhunters. Those mixed-blood elves who have been caught by plateau headhunters clenched their fists and turned pale.

"In the near future, this black iron mine will block the attack of the plateau headhunters. It will be nailed here like nails, so that the group of plateau headhunters cannot go south unscrupulously. This is why I take over this black iron mine. The original intention of the field.”

"Not just here, the Gasan South Black Iron Mine located in the Shyvana Mountains, the Gasan Central Black Iron Mine located in the Aurelion Mountains, and here form an iron triangle defensive formation."

"This will be the first line of defense against plateau headhunters."

"Of course, we don't just have this line of defense. There is a second line of defense in the Sudarso Mountains, and our mine guard team is a force recognized by the Silver Moon Elf military. We will start from Padstow The city will continue to receive supplies, and food and armaments will be continuously shipped from the rear."

"As long as we can stop the plateau headhunters, we have a chance to save the Pagisto Plateau!"

"Now... I hope that the mixed-blood elf warriors on the Pagisto Plateau can take the initiative to stay, and we can work together to resist those plateau headhunters."

"I come from Castleton City in the Elf Continent. I came here just to help the mixed elves here. I hope to work with you to resist the plateau headhunters. We must use our fists to tell these headhunters who is the real one. Master of Pagisto.”

"Mixed-blood elves who are willing to stay! We will fight side by side in this castle. The Pagisto Plateau needs you."

"Of course, for those mixed elves who don't want to stay... I won't force you to leave! However, the Pagisto Plateau will soon be at war again. If you don't want to get involved in this war, remember to leave as soon as possible..."

Roy yelled out the next few words with all his strength, except for the last one which was said very softly.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Some mixed elves who had received the supplies found that the supplies were really hot to touch. Everyone had seen the murderous nature of the plateau headhunters.

On the Pajisto Plateau, these plateau headhunters have always been rampant...

The mixed-blood elf warrior continued to distribute the supplies piled in the yard. The mixed-blood elf miner standing in front of the supply pile tied his backpack behind his back hesitantly, and then said with some embarrassment:

"Sorry, I've been away from home for too long. I miss my family so much that I can't stay."

He kept his head down, turned around and wanted to leave the castle quickly.

Roy happened to be standing nearby, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said calmly:

"It's best to wait. There will definitely be mixed-blood elves who will make the same choice as you later. Then you can go together and it will be much safer along the way."

The companion following the mixed-blood elf miner made a different choice at this time. He said to the mixed-blood elf warrior who distributed the supplies:

"I chose to join. My village has been burned down. I want to stay and take revenge on those plateau headhunters."

The mixed-blood elf miner behind also shouted: "Count me in, I will fight to the end with the plateau headhunters!"

"Feel sorry……"

Behind him is another person who wants to leave...

Seeing the guilty look on his face, Roy comforted him: "There's no need to apologize, you don't owe us anything."

Then he turned around and walked to a notice board, and took out a parchment map from his arms. On it was a hand-drawn map of the Sudarso Mountains and the southern section of the Gasai Mountains.

Roy said to all the mixed elves who were preparing to leave the mine:

"This parchment map depicts the southern section of the Gaza Mountains and the Sudarso Mountains. Although there is no way for you to take it away, you can keep the trend of this mountain range firmly in mind now and mark a few places in black. The place where the mine is located is where the mine is located. If you encounter trouble, you can go to the mine for help.”

Although Roy said a lot when distributing supplies, more than half of the mixed-blood elf miners still chose to leave with the supplies.

Of course, some mixed-blood elves remained.

After all, the mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau have an irresolvable hatred with these headhunters...

Most of the people who followed Roy to the North Black Iron Mine this time were Dark Moon Elf warriors, who guarded the gray dwarves in the mine.

According to the final statistics, there were 206 mixed-blood elves who were willing to stay in the black iron mines in northern Gazai.

This time, Roy only brought 12 mixed-blood elf warriors. They were responsible for organizing these mixed-blood elf warriors into three squadrons, and then these mixed-blood elf warriors would be put into intense training.

On the day Roy took over the mine, the black iron mine stopped mining black iron ore...

The gray dwarf miners are still pushing the last bits of ore into the furnace to condense the last bit of black iron ingots, and the entire furnace is about to stop operating.

The gray dwarves need to clean the crucible and diversion trough before the furnace is completely cooled down, so that there will be no more losses when the furnace is restarted...

Under Roy's coordination, only the Gasan South Black Iron Mine is still operating normally among the three black iron mines. The other two black iron mines have suspended ore mining and smelting, leaving half of the gray dwarves to strengthen the castle. On the outer wall, the remaining gray dwarf miners were sent to the South Black Iron Mines of Gasan to work as miners in iron ore mining.

After more than a week of reorganization and training, the three black iron mines have mine guards composed of nearly 800 mixed-blood elf warriors.

Although most of the mixed-blood elves have no combat experience, they wear exquisite standard armor and look majestic standing on the city wall...

Among the one thousand sets of military equipment brought to Roy by Captain Berkeley, there were one thousand exquisite forest bows. The elves were all born to be excellent archers because they were worried that plateau headhunters would emerge from the northern part of the Gasai Mountains at any time. Come, Roy asked the elf warriors to mainly practice archery.

He doesn't even need to be precise with the arrows he shoots, as long as he can fire them uniformly.

In addition, these half-blood elf warriors in the guard team only need to guard the top of the city. They usually hold spears in their hands and stab down the plateau headhunters who climb up to the top of the city. No fighting skills are required.

Although the daily training is a bit boring, the mixed-blood elf warriors are very serious because they know exactly what kind of enemies are standing in front of them.

…

A week later, Roy rushed back to the Sudarsonan mithril mine without stopping.

When Roy came back from outside, Miss Channing Sidney was wearing a brown leather armor and had her long hair tied up. She was leading two mixed-blood elf assistants to inquire about the situation inside the mithril mine.

The South Mithril Mine here is still smelting Mithril ingots, but half of the pile in the backyard has disappeared.

According to Miss Channing Sitney's estimate, without mining any mithril ore, the reserve of mithril ore in the mine will be exhausted in one month.

Qian Ning officially became the manager of the Mithril Mine. He managed the mine in an orderly manner and kept the account books in great detail.

Although he looks a little slimmer, his eyes are very sharp.

Perhaps because he was in a hurry when leaving, Captain Berkeley did not take the family members of the owner of the Sitney Mine back to Padstow City.

Therefore, the Sitney family temporarily avoided being tried in the courthouse, and Captain Berkeley's logistics team did not know when they would be able to return to the Pagistow Plateau again. Miss Channing Sitney escaped as she wished. Tribulation.

Seeing Roy rushing back to the Mithril Mine, Miss Channing Sidney quickly picked up a thick stack of account books and ran to Roy's office.

"How are you feeling lately?" Roy raised his head and asked Qian Ning with a smile.

Qian Ning put a thick stack of account books on the table and replied crisply: "It's okay, I can handle it." There was more confidence in his tone.

Roy flipped through a few pages casually. The handwriting was neat and the accounts were clear.

"The accounts are very clear, well done..." Roy said, and then introduced some conditions of the Northern Mithril Mine.

After hearing Roy talk about the magic furnace in the Northern Mithril Mine and some management systems for gray dwarves, Miss Channing Sidney immediately prepared to use them on the gray dwarves in the Southern Mithril Mine.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Kaka opened the door from the outside and walked in, and asked Roy: "Roy, are you looking for me?"

Roy nodded and said to Qian Ning: "The management of the South Mithril Mine is pretty good. I will continue to leave it to you to keep an eye on. In addition, I will also take Kaka away. There may be some guards on the other side." A new person will take over..."

Miss Channing Sidney understood that Roy and Kaka had something to discuss, and immediately said very sensibly:

"I know, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work! Miss Channing Sidney!" Roy said very politely.

After Miss Channing Sidney turned around and left, Roy closed the door, asked Kaka to sit down opposite him, and then said:

"Kaka, I need your help!"
