Path of light

Chapter 414 415. The remnants of the rebel army

The griffin group flew north along the Sudarso Mountains. This time, each griffin was carrying heavy military supplies. Even if they were gliding in the high-altitude wind currents, they would become exhausted after flying this way.

Seeing that the gryphon group could not arrive at the North Black Iron Mine before dark, the village chief of Tiprado suggested to Roy to stay at the North Mithril Mine for one night.

The griffin group fell in the North Mithril Mine. The headhunters in the wilderness outside the castle were constantly peeping towards the North Mithril Mine. When they saw a large group of griffins falling from the sky, they were so frightened that they turned around and fled to the north.

Those headhunters who were reluctant to leave the Sudarso Mountains saw these griffins and burrowed into the mountains without any hesitation and without looking back.

The griffin group was unable to pursue the headhunters in the mountains at this moment. They had been flying since dawn in the morning. Although they had two rests in the middle, they were unable to hold on anymore. The griffins lay on the city wall and tightened their grip. Neck, allowing fluffy feathers to protect against the cold north wind.

The half-blood elf hunters went to the first mine this time and gained a lot. Everyone put on long leather boots and got a brand new dagger. In addition, the empty quiver was filled with arrows. Arrows, these fang arrows are much better than the feather arrows they originally used...

…

Sabrina spent the entire day guarding the Northern Mithril Mines.

Due to the fright of the griffin group, the North Mithril Mine was not disturbed by headhunters all day long.

This gave the mixed elves in the Northern Mithril Mine a good rest for the day. When the sun was about to set, many mixed elves had just woken up.

Seeing that everything was normal on Sabrina's side, Roy hurriedly walked down the wall.

"What about the griffin's dinner? There should be no meat reserves at the North Mithril Mine." Roy said to Kaka who was following behind.

"We all brought some dried meat. The griffins didn't eat much at night." Kaka responded.

It was getting dark, and obviously these griffins did not have the strength to fly into the wilderness to hunt the one-horned bison. These griffons had to eat meat for every meal.

Seeing Kaka say this, Roy nodded and continued walking down...

He needed to arrange a dinner for the half-blood elf hunters, and also arrange accommodation for the half-blood elf hunters.

I would also like to know the current material reserve status of the North Mithril Mine.

At this time, Miss Channing Sidney, wearing a fluffy long skirt and a thick woolen cloak, came towards Roy with two attendants.

Without even waiting for Roy to speak, Miss Qianning said: "Boss Roy, dinner is ready. Please invite the Griffin Knights to the restaurant on the second floor."

Roy turned around, looked at Kaka behind him, and said to him: "Kaka, take everyone to the second floor for dinner."

"Okay, Roy!" Kaka agreed.

Roy stopped in front of Miss Qian Ning and said to her: "How is the consumption of supplies in the North Mithril Mine? How long can the food reserves last?"

"There are still a lot, and it is estimated that it can last at least two months." Miss Qian Ning replied.

Seeing that Roy was a little surprised, he explained: "This is the Sudarso Mountains where materials are scarce. Every mine owner will hoard a large amount of daily necessities, but some materials are not always stored in the warehouse."

Then she asked further:

"Boss, do you still need to prepare a place for these griffins?"

Roy nodded and said, "Then please trouble Miss Qian Ning and arrange some dormitories for them."

Qian Ning saluted Roy, and then said to Roy: "The dormitory is ready. It is in the row of guest rooms on the third floor of the castle annex building."

Going down the stairs, Roy found that there were still some injured mixed elves lining up in the corridor, waiting at the door of a room...

Roy pointed to the room and asked Miss Channing: "Where is Tiffany?"

Miss Channing nodded, and then said: "Tiffany Magic has been busy here all day."

Roy specifically stayed at the door of the room for a while, but unexpectedly did not hear the sound of pain like a slaughtered pig coming from the room.

In fact, when using hydrotherapy to heal wounds, although the wounds can heal quickly, the pain will also increase exponentially...

Over at the North Black Iron Mine, Tiffany has been responsible for treating the slightly injured mixed-blood elf warriors, but even the slightly injured warriors will scream in pain when receiving treatment from Miss Tiffany.

But this time Roy stood at the door and listened for a long time, but did not hear the wounded mixed elf crying out in pain.

Roy was a little curious, so he pushed the door open, and a melodious singing came from the room. The song was not sung in Elvish, but the sound was high-pitched and melodious. It reached Roy's ears and he immediately It made him feel like he was flying into the clouds.

However, the power of holy light in his body turned into a stream of warmth and rushed into Roy's body, making him wake up immediately.

Miss Channing, who was following Roy, staggered and fell forward.

Roy was worried that her head would hit the ground, so he reached out and picked her up.

Miss Tiffany heard the door open and quickly stopped singing. She was sitting in front of a hospital bed. When she saw Roy standing outside the door, she said hello and said, "Roy, are you back?"

Roy helped Miss Channing to a bench at the door of the room and let her rest there.

On the hospital bed, a wounded mixed elf was sleeping. There was a deep wound on his arm. Tiffany was cleaning the wound with salt water.

When cleaning the wound, the mixed-blood elf warrior did not react at all. Not only that, while receiving hydrotherapy to treat the wound, the mixed-blood elf warrior also fell into a deep sleep. It was not until the wound was completely bandaged that Miss Tiffany was there. The wounded half-blood elf called into his ear:

"Get up soon. The wound on your arm has been bandaged. You can go..."

With just such a call, the mixed-blood elf warrior lying on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes, then sat up from the bed, stared at the wrapped arm, and thanked Miss Tiffany very politely: "Thank you, Tiffany. Miss Ni!”

"Be careful next time you fight. Be careful not to do strenuous exercise in the past few days to avoid tearing the wound!" Miss Tiffany warned.

Only then did Roy finally understand that in order to prevent the wounded from feeling pain, Miss Tiffany actually used the siren's song to put them into sleep...

Miss Channing prepared a simple dinner. Roy, Sabrina, Miss Tiffany, the village chief of Tiprado, Kaka and little Eugene sat at the table. There were fruits and fish on the plates of the table. There was steaming lemon tea.

While eating the fish, Miss Tiffany complained to Roy in a low voice: "Roy, when you buy these dried fish from Castletown Port again, can you ask them not to make the fish so salty?"

"..."

After all, this is the Northern Mithril Mine in the Sudarso Mountains. In the evening, after the headhunters were scared away by the griffins, the entire Mithril Mine became quiet.

With the addition of these griffons, Roy firmly believes that the headhunters are doomed to fail, and life in the mine will gradually get better...

…

The next day, the Griffin Group returned to the North Black Iron Mine.

This time, Kaka took Roy around in a large circle in the southern part of the Gasi Mountains. Roy finally understood the distribution of headhunters in the southern part of the Gasi Mountains.

The headhunters here are relatively scattered and can be seen everywhere in the wilderness. They chase the buffalo herds and sheep. Many headhunters carry a cow leg on their shoulders and move forward when they see a group of griffins. Escape...

They already have rich experience in dealing with the rain of arrows shot by the gryphon group.

As soon as griffons appear in the sky, headhunters will scatter in the wilderness as soon as possible. Some headhunters will hide behind piles of rocks, and some will even put their legs on their heads, or simply dive in. Waist-deep in the bushes...

These arrows pose no threat to them.

Once the griffins lower their flying altitude, the power of the short flying spears in the hands of the headhunters is revealed. These short flying spears still pose a certain threat to the griffins.

Therefore, the group of griffons lingering in the southern part of the Ghassan Mountains is increasingly less of a deterrent to these headhunters.

Most of the time, the gryphon regiment still plays a reconnaissance role. They will carry the assassin team and land near the headhunter's temporary camp in the evening. The Dark Moon Elf warriors will take advantage of the night to eat away at these lone individuals in the wild. of headhunters.

Under the pressure of the assassins and the griffon group, the number of headhunters entering the southern part of the Gasan Mountains began to decrease. The headhunters continued to gather in the South Black Iron Mine and the Middle Black Iron Mine because they discovered that With the protection of the castle, these elf warriors of the assassin team did not dare to come in.

At the same time, because griffons always capture these one-horned bison in the wilderness...

Even though there were herds of cattle and sheep in this wilderness, with the emergence of the griffon group, the cattle and sheep began to migrate to the southwest.

The griffins can fly very far, but the headhunters cannot. In the area adjacent to the wilderness in the southern part of the Gasai Mountains, there are fewer and fewer prey to hunt. Thousands of headhunters are gathered in the two black iron mines.

In order to avoid the assassination of the headhunters, they all huddled in the mines. The black iron mines in Shyvana Mountain and Aurian Mountain became the gathering place for this group of headhunters.

Because of the existence of the Griffin Group and the Assassin Squad, the headhunters cannot enter the Sudarso Mountains...

But there are only a few hundred mixed-blood elf warriors here in the North Black Iron Mine.

It is easy for these elven warriors to defend the castle of the Northern Dark Iron Mine, but if they want to take back the Southern Dark Iron Mine in Shyvana Mountain and the Middle Dark Iron Mine in Aurelion Mountain, even with the help of the Griffin Group and Assassins, , is also impossible.

Although the headhunters were huddled in the mine during this period, they were not idle. They forced the gray dwarves in the mine to help them forge armor pieces.

Although there is no armor-forging process in the black iron mine, black iron ingots can be forged into hard armor pieces.

These headhunters also put some thought into it. They drilled small holes around the armor pieces and connected them with iron chains. When they put the armor pieces on their bodies, it became a cross between chain armor and plate armor. The armor between them, although a bit bulky, is very effective in protecting against arrow rain.

The number of headhunters wearing this kind of armor increased day by day on the city wall, and the hunters of the Griffin Group no longer posed any threat to them.

Roy reached a stalemate with the headhunters at the Northern Black Iron Mine. As the headhunters forged unique black iron armor, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the headhunters' side.

Roy is also implementing a plan to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness. He asked the village chief of Tiprado to lead the griffon group to drive the cattle on the edge of the wilderness toward the southwest...

I believe that the headhunters trapped in the two black iron mines will soon have a food crisis, so a team of headhunters will enter the wilderness to look for food, and then the assassin team will have an opportunity.

But before Roy's plan to clear the country could succeed, a message from the military headquarters came from the North Mithril Mine:

'Currently, most of the mines in the hinterland of the Pajisto Plateau and the northern part of the plateau have fallen. Only the Sudarso Mountains and the southern part of the Gasai Mountains have blocked the southbound headhunters. As headhunters from other areas continue to move southward, , the entire Sudarso Mountains will be surrounded by headhunters. Headhunters will approach the southern Pagisto Plateau from other mountain valleys...'

The advice given by the military to Roy was to abandon the large area north of the Gasi Mountains and the Sudarso Mountains and retreat to the southern part of the Sudarso Mountains.

"It seems that the Silver Pegasus Legion is temporarily unable to send troops to support the Pagisto Plateau..." Roy stood at the top of the city and said to Woods next to him.

Woods looked at the empty wilderness in the distance and said with some regret: "As long as we persist for a while, we will be able to drive the headhunters in these two black iron mines out of the Gasai Mountains."

"I didn't expect this group of headhunters to be so huge..." Roy sighed.

Mulin walked up from under the city wall and reported to Roy: "The mixed-blood elf warriors are packing up. Do we really want to withdraw from here?"

"Evacuate to the North Mithril Mine first, and then observe the situation. I'm worried that other headhunters will take a detour into the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau. By then, even if we want to withdraw, it will be too late." Roy frowned said.

This time the headhunters' retaliatory action can only target the mixed-blood elves on the plateau. Currently, most of the mixed-blood elves are concentrated in the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, and there is an extreme lack of defense forces...

The three of them fell silent at the same time. Although they did not want to give up the black iron mine here, they still had to evacuate here in the end.

Unless these mixed-blood elf warriors left on griffins, the headhunters in the two black iron mines were destined to bite off a piece of meat from the mixed-blood elf warriors.

Roy was about to discuss the evacuation plan with the head of Tiprado Village when he saw Kaka swooping down from the sky riding a griffon. As soon as the griffon landed on the city wall, Kaka eagerly waved an envelope and shouted to Roy. shouted:

"Roy, there is a letter from you. It was brought from the North Mithril Mine."

Roy walked up quickly, took the letter handed over by Kaka, and opened the parchment of the envelope. The handwriting on the letter was very beautiful, and he could tell at a glance that it was written by Miss Qian Ning.

After reading this text message, Roy was in a daze...

"What happened, Roy?" Woods couldn't help but ask.

"Channing said that the remnants of a mixed-blood elf rebel army arrived at the Northern Mithril Mine..." Roy said with a strange expression.
