Path of light

Chapter 410 411. Counterattack Plan

This castle in the Northern Black Iron Mine has been riddled with holes. All the carved wooden doors and windows have been smashed by plateau headhunters. The ceiling, walls, and floors of the room are covered with dried blood, and the strong The smell of blood even has a rancid smell.

The wardrobes and closets in the room were messed up, the floor was piled with debris, and even the wooden shelves where the armors were placed were kicked down...

After occupying the castle, the plateau headhunters smashed almost all the furniture and utensils that could not be taken away from the castle. The door to the warehouse on the first floor was also open. Tens of thousands of black iron ingots were originally stored in it. At present, it seems that they have also been headhunted by the plateau headhunters. The workers moved most of it away, leaving the warehouse in a mess.

In recent days, plateau headhunters will attack the castle at dawn and drive the mixed-blood elf warriors led by Roy into the black iron mines.

Of course, due to the existence of Dark Moon Elf warriors, these plateau headhunters dare not rush into the mines...

When night falls, Captain Timothy will lead the assassin team into the castle. At this time, the plateau headhunters will withdraw from the castle. They do not want to tangle with the Dark Moon Elf warriors in the darkness.

Until Kaka brought the elf hunters from the village and a large group of griffons to the North Black Iron Mine, and also brought Mu Lin and one hundred and fifty mixed elf warriors...

Roy finally regained the North Black Iron Mine.

These elf hunters riding griffons used arrows to drive all the plateau headhunters stationed on the opposite hillside to the north slope of Mount Idas.

At this point, Roy retaken the Northern Black Iron Mine Castle.

This time, Mu Lin also brought a batch of supplies to cheer up the mixed elf warriors who were trapped in the black iron mine.

The group of gray dwarves also walked out of the depths of the black iron mine. Under Roy's arrangement, they climbed onto the city wall again and began to repair the city wall that was about to collapse. In addition, they also needed to repair the four walls of the castle as soon as possible. Arrow tower in the corner.

These gray dwarves probably won't rest until the city wall and arrow tower are repaired.

After all, those plateau headhunters might come back at some point, and Roy must be prepared...

A group of griffins temporarily lay on the city wall and arrow tower, making several calls from time to time.

This black iron mine castle looks like a giant bird's nest.

The half-blood elf hunters who came from the south of the Barrier Mountains cut some hay from outside the castle and spread it on the top of the city wall for the griffins to lie on it.

Several mixed-blood elf hunters rode griffins to the edge of the wilderness and shot ten one-horned bison at the water source. These adult griffins were strong enough to grab the bison with their sharp claws like iron hooks and flew back to the north. Black Iron Mine Castle.

The half-blood elf hunters were busy peeling off the cowhide and feeding all the strips of beef to the group of griffons.

The Pagisto Plateau is full of pastures and mountains, with herds of cattle and sheep. It is a very rare hunting ground for this group of griffins...

Seeing those gryphons swallowing the whole piece of beef, a group of onlookers' mixed-blood elf warriors' eyes widened.

…

‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

Kaka stood at the door and knocked hard on the door frame.

A broken door stood against the wall, with a large hole left in it, which must have been kicked out by a headhunter.

Roy had just returned from the consultation room and was sitting on a chair to rest. There was a cup of light blue mental potion on the table. This potion had some calming effects, so you shouldn't drink too much.

There have been frequent wars recently, and the mixed elf warriors have always been at a disadvantage. There are many injured mixed elf warriors.

In addition, Woods was still bedridden, and the treatment of these wounded fell entirely on Roy.

Fortunately, Miss Tiffany shared a lot of burdens for Roy, but her hydrotherapy skills had limited effect after all.

Roy took off the wet towel covering his face and stood up.

At this time, Kaka brought a middle-aged mixed-blood elf uncle to Roy.

This middle-aged mixed-blood elf is dressed as a hunter, and the leather armor he wears is made of fur turned outside. The leather armor is very finely made, and it is also the best Warcraft leather. The only flaw is that there is no mana fluctuation. It should be said that it is A very good magic pattern construction base material.

He also carried a hunting bow behind him. There was a special handle on the back of the bow, with a line of text and markings engraved on it, which should record the glory of this hunting bow.

There was a dagger on his waist. Although all the gems inlaid on the scabbard had fallen out, Roy could feel a trace of magic from the dagger.

Kaka introduced Roy:

"Roy, this is Uncle Tiprado. He is the head of our village and the most powerful animal trainer in our village. Without his support, little Eugene and I would not be able to recruit so many animal trainers. .”

"Uncle Tiprado, this is Roy."

Kaka had mentioned to Roy before that the ability to summon so many griffons from the southern part of the Barrier Mountains this time was actually not due to him and little Eugene.

Someone took the initiative to help the two of them, so they were able to call so many mixed elf hunters and griffins in such a short period of time.

Roy quickly held the hand of Chief Tiprado and expressed his sincere thanks to Chief Tiprado:

"Uncle Tiprado, thank you for your help... If you hadn't arrived in time, I don't know how long I could have persisted here."

Tiprado looked Roy up and down. This half-elf boy was more ordinary than he imagined.

Although the north and south sides of the Griffin Barrier Mountains are almost completely isolated, the mixed elves living in the Sun Island Bay on the south side of the Barrier Mountains still know a little bit about what is happening in the Barrier Village.

Because Roy serves as the governor of Barrier Town, mainly to ease the conflict between the mixed-blood elves and the silver moon elves...

The village chief of Tiprado had heard Roy's name for a long time. Now that he saw Roy, he said:

"Are you Roy? The young man is very nice. I heard little Eugene talking about you all day long."

"You have been running to rescue the mixed-blood elf slaves in the Partington plane. In fact... these things should be done by us."

As he said that, the head of Tiprado Village sighed:

"...But the mixed-blood elves in the Partington plane have been divided a long time ago. We mixed-blood elves are scattered in various areas of Partington and have little contact with each other. I didn't expect that the situation in the Partington plane is so corrupt now. This is the point.”

Roy moved two relatively complete chairs and invited Kaka and the village chief of Tiprado to sit down and chat.

"Uncle Tiprado, I heard from Kaka that everyone lives in the southern part of the Barrier Mountains, mainly to avoid the sight of the Silver Moon Elf military, but this time you brought so many animal trainers to participate in the battle on the Pagisto Plateau. War, once these griffins are exposed... what will they do?"

Roy asked about his worries.

The village chief of Tiprado smiled slightly:

"Actually, we are just the descendants of the remnants of the Griffin Legion. The elves of the older generation are long gone. The current Silver Moon Elf military doesn't care about us, and Partington has become like this. If we keep shrinking in the Barrier Mountains In the south, when the plateau headhunters come to Sun Island Bay in the future, who will stand up and help us?"

After saying that, he introduced Roy to the origin of their group of mixed-blood elves:

"The beast tamer inheritance we have originally came from the swamp lizard clan, and does not belong to any of the wood elves, silver moon elves, or dark moon elves. As early as 1,400 years ago, there was chaos in the elven continent, and the entire The Elf Dynasty that lasted for thousands of years was completely destroyed, and the Elf Continent was split into three kingdoms. At that time, the Elf Griffin Legion was attracted by the Silver Pegasus Legion and joined the camp of the Silver Moon Kingdom. But later the legion commander of the Griffin Legion I stood in the wrong team and was ostracized by the upper-class Silver Moon Elf nobles. In the end, I had no choice but to hide in the Partington plane and live in seclusion..."

"Actually...the Griffin Legion has long ceased to exist now."

The village chief of Tiprado said calmly:

"Right now, there are only a group of mixed-blood elf hunters in the Partington plane who can tame griffins."

Roy put the quill in his hand on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then said to the mayor of Tiprado:

"Uncle Tiprado, we have formed a guard team on the Pajisto Plateau specifically to resist the headhunters on the plateau. If you are willing to join the resistance against the headhunters on the plateau, I solemnly invite you to join."

Seeing the hesitation on the face of Chief Tiprado, Roy quickly said:

"Don't be too busy agreeing or refusing. First listen to the benefits of joining the Guard..."

"First of all, our guard team is a local army officially recognized by the military and established. Its duty is to guard the mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau."

As he spoke, Roy took out the certificate signed by Earl Swinburne that Captain Berkeley gave him and placed it in front of the leader of Tiprado Village.

Then Roy said:

"In addition, our guards control three spinel mines in the southern part of the plateau, two mithril mines in the Sudarso Mountains, and three black iron mines here in the Gasan Mountains. However, the black iron mines Now it has been completely destroyed by the plateau headhunters, and it will need to be rebuilt later. Therefore, our guard team currently has extremely abundant financial support."

"Third, the armaments and supplies we need will be provided by the Silver Moon Elf military. The armaments and supplies of the Silver Moon Elf Legion are so sophisticated, I don't think I need to introduce them separately, right?" Roy said with a smile.

The village chief of Tiprado was a little surprised and asked Roy:

"How...could they possibly support half-blood elves in forming an army?"

Roy said: "Currently a group of gray dwarf bandits are on the Queen Igwene Islands. The Silver Pegasus Army needs to stabilize the situation on the Queen Egwene Islands. At present, they cannot take into account the Partington plane, and other Silver Moon Elf armies will not enter." Partington plane, so we can only establish a mixed elf guard here to effectively resist the plateau headhunters."

Tiprado was obviously moved by Roy's words.

The captain of this mixed-blood elf guard is Roy, not those who look down on the mixed-blood elf Silver Moon Elf. Moreover, this guard has completely independent finances and has armaments and supplies provided by the Silver Moon Elf military.

What the village chief of Tiprado can't understand is that the Silver Pegasus Legion has given so many benefits to Roy. What do they want to get from Roy...

Seemingly understanding the hesitation in the eyes of the village chief of Tiprado, Roy said directly:

"What I need to do now is...to hand over half of the income from the eight mines to the Silver Pegasus Army."

Hearing what Roy said, the Tiprado village chief's last worries were all eliminated.

He took the initiative to extend his fist to Roy, and then said: "Okay, we are willing to join the Pajisto Plateau Guard."

…

In the restaurant, Roy, Mullin, Tiprado, Captain Timothy, Tennyson, Sabrina, Claire, Kaka, Little Eugene and others sat around a long dining table.

The place had just been cleaned up by mixed-blood elf warriors, and some of the tables still had residual bloodstains left by headhunters.

These plateau headhunters are very different from the elves. Their diet does not exclude the wild beasts on the wilderness. Whether it is one-horned bison or green antelope, these are their favorite foods.

Now there are several baskets on the dining table with some fruits piled in them.

These foods were brought by Mu Lin from the second mine.

A large part of the supplies that Lysander transported from Padstow City last time were food for the elves.

Roy took out a map, which clearly depicted the landforms of the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau. In the middle, there were only the Sudarso Mountains, the southern part of the Gasai Mountains, and a part of the wilderness.

Roy knocked on the table and said to Mu Lin beside him:

"Okay, Mu Lin, tell me what you think."

This time, Mu Lin followed Kaka to the North Black Iron Mine, showing her keen judgment on the plateau battlefield.

Mu Lin glanced at Roy, not expecting that she would be named.

However, she had no stage fright at all. She cast her gaze on the map and said casually:

"This time at the southern end of the Gasi Mountains, in order to find you, Kaka took me in a large circle around the three snow-capped mountains. I found the valley on the back of Mount Aida, which is right here..."

As she spoke, Mu Lin used a charcoal pen to add two lines to the blank space in the northern part of the map, making a valley appear from here.

She continued: "It is the only main road leading to the north of the plateau. As long as we guard this valley to the north of Mount Jasi, we can cut off the way for headhunters from the north to go south from the plateau!"

Roy's eyes widened, and Mu Lin was too bold.

They have just recaptured the North Black Iron Mine. The current strength here is only more than 400 mixed elven warriors, less than 100 dark moon elven warriors, and 150 griffins and mixed elves. The combined total strength of the hunters will not exceed seven hundred.

There are also less than a hundred gray dwarf miners. They can only stay in the mines to repair the city walls and arrow towers. They cannot be expected to fight at all.

There were at least thousands of plateau headhunters outside the castle, and there was a huge disparity in military power between the two sides. Roy didn't think the mixed-blood elf warriors could defend the valley exit on the northern slope of Mount Aida.

However, Mu Lin did not stop. Her charcoal pen drew a circle on the North Black Iron Mine Castle and said:

"Currently, we only need to center around the Northern Black Iron Mine Castle and have mixed-blood elf warriors guard the castle to deter the plateau headhunters in the northern part of Mount Aida. At the same time, we cannot sit still and wait for death. During the day, we can let the Griffin Cavalry team Shoot the headhunters who live in the wild in the air, and at night, you can send the assassin team to sneak attack the headhunters’ temporary camp.”

"At the same time, we cannot focus on the headhunters' camps near the North Black Iron Mine. They are the most wary of the assassin team. The Griffin Cavalry team may have a harder time recently and can assassinate them. The hunter team was sent to the headhunter camps near two other snow-capped mountains. I guess...the headhunters there have not suffered the same fate as the assassin team."

With that said, Mu Lin set her sights on Tiprado.

Tiprado agreed readily without any hesitation:

"This is no problem. We will be responsible for transporting the assassin team. In addition, we can also transport some supplies back from the south. For the griffin, it only takes two hours at most to fly to the second mine. It only takes our gryphon cavalry a day and night to fly back. As long as we fly into the clouds, the wind above will push us forward."
