Path of light

Chapter 415 416. The upright Herrick

Miss Qian Ning stood on the wall of the North Mithril Mine Castle, and the cold north wind blew her long, silky hair...

She looked into the distance, and saw a group of headhunters gathered on the opposite hillside. This time they entered the northern part of the Sudarso Mountains again, just to find out whether there was a group of gryphons near the North Mithril Mine.

After several days of exploration, the headhunters were able to determine that the Griffin Group was not nearby.

The headhunters hiding everywhere emerged again and continued to gather on the hillside opposite the North Mithril Mine, bringing greater pressure to the North Mithril Mine.

If headhunters want to enter the Sudarso Mountains, the Northern Mithril Mine will be the castle they must conquer. Otherwise, once the headhunters enter the Sudarso Mountains, they will easily be captured by the mixed-blood elf warriors in the Northern Mithril Mine. Luca died.

And as the savanna cattle herds adjacent to the Gasai Mountains and Sudarso Mountains continue to migrate southward, headhunters also need to chase the cattle to the difficult point.

At this time, the Northern Mithril Mine was like a wall, lying across the southernmost tip of the Sudarso Mountains...

A group of headhunters sat on the hillside, lit a bonfire, tied the whole goat on a wooden stick, and placed it sideways beside the bonfire to bake slowly. attracted headhunters.

The mixed-blood elf warriors on the city wall were a little nervous. They were paying attention to the movements of the group of headhunters. Some mixed-blood elf warriors had already hung their quivers on their waists and began to check the arrows in the quivers...

Miss Qian Ning seemed very calm at the moment, squinting her slender eyes and staring at the group of headhunters.

She hoped these headhunters would rush forward soon...

These headhunters did not gather a thousand people and start attacking the castle as Miss Channing thought. They spent the whole day on the hillside opposite the castle and spread out the fur rolls they carried with them at night. , right next to the bonfire, sleeping soundly on the ground.

The next morning, the number of headhunters gathered on the opposite side of the hillside exceeded two thousand. Some headhunters had already tried to approach the North Mithril Mine, but they did not get too close. After all, there were arrows in the corner of the North Mithril Mine. The tower is equipped with a cloud-piercing crossbow.

This kind of bed crossbow can shoot crossbow arrows seven to eight hundred meters...

The Headhunter will not rush into the effective range of the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow before launching an attack.

There are always some headhunters joining the opposite camp on the hillside. The longer you wait, the more headhunters there are on the opposite side.

This made the atmosphere inside the North Mithril Mine become solemn again.

Miss Qian Ning climbed onto the city wall again and saw a group of headhunters already standing outside the range of the Cloud Crossbow, staring at the castle with eager eyes.

Then, a headhunter leader raised the war blade in his hand and roared toward the sky, followed by the roars of all the headhunters...

The headhunters took big strides almost at the same time, braving the incoming crossbows and rushing towards the North Mithril Castle.

This time, at least a thousand headhunters rushed towards the castle at the same time. They used the human sea tactic to occupy the city wall as soon as possible.

The messy footsteps of the headhunters made the entire hillside tremble...

A sharp and piercing whistle also sounded on the city top of the North Mithril Mine. When the whistle sounded, the mixed-blood elf warriors on the city wall took out their forest hunting bows, aiming at the headhunters rushing up from the opposite side, waiting for them When they rush into the shooting range of the hunting bow, they simultaneously throw a rain of arrows into the sky.

The headhunters quickly rushed to the base of the city wall, braving the arrows thrown from their heads.

During this period, some headhunters fell in the rain of arrows, but there were also more headhunters who rushed to the bottom of the city wall.

These headhunters have super climbing abilities. As a large number of headhunters rushed towards the city, the mixed elves on the city wall threw away the forest bows in their hands. There were already elven warriors behind them placing a whole box of metal ingots at the city. .

They only need to turn around, grab the zinc ingots and throw them down the city. These metal ingots are thrown from the city wall, and the falling process continues to accelerate, and finally hits the headhunter. Even if the headhunter's skull is carved from rock, at this moment It will be smashed directly by the metal ingot...

The headhunters who were further away under the city wall threw short flying spears towards the city head. From time to time, mixed-blood elf warriors were stabbed by the short flying spears.

The mixed-blood elf warriors on the arrow tower shot arrows one after another, and headhunters were constantly hit by arrows. These wolf-tooth arrows had six barbs. Once they were shot into the headhunters, they could not be easily pulled out by force. When the arrow is drawn out, it will inevitably be pulled out with a piece of flesh at the same time.

If you want to deal with the wounds caused by such arrows, you need to use a skinning knife to cut a cross-shaped gap around the arrows, and then slowly pick out the wolf-fang arrows.

Headhunters don't do this when fighting. They will break the wolf-fang arrows directly and let the arrows stay in their bodies...

The metal ingots falling from the top of the city continuously injured some headhunters.

At this moment, nearly two thousand headhunters completely surrounded the Northern Mithril Mine Castle.

A group of headhunters hiding in the gaps between the arrow tower and the city wall have climbed to two-thirds of the height of the city wall. Once they climb the city wall, it means that a melee at the top of the city will begin soon.

Miss Qian Ning had retreated behind the city wall. She looked beyond the city wall to the narrow mountain ridge to the southwest, frowned and whispered:

"Why haven't you come yet..."

Before Miss Qian Ning could finish her words, a row of mixed-blood elf warriors suddenly appeared on the southwest mountain ridge.

These mixed-blood elf warriors lined up on the mountain ridge for a full two kilometers.

They were wearing all kinds of armors and had a variety of weapons in their hands. The few mixed-blood elf warriors standing in the center were the first to rush down the hillside. The other half-blood elf warriors behind them quickly followed up, instantly covering a large area of ​​the hillside... …

Hearing the cry of killing coming from behind, the headhunters who were attacking the city were terrified...

Although the headhunters have surrounded the city wall, and a small group of headhunters have even rushed up the city wall, the number of mixed-blood elf warriors rushing up from behind them is too many, and the black mass is overwhelming, almost covering the entire city. Mountains.

Although these mixed-blood elf warriors do not have the same style of standard armor, they are also fully armed.

Although they are not riding horses, they can assume a charging stance by keeping their legs close together...

Soon, the mixed-blood elf warriors rushing up from behind collided with the headhunters.

They are obviously different from the mixed-blood elf warriors on the city wall. They have rich fighting experience, and when they fight against the headhunters, they are also extremely ruthless. They rush to the back of the headhunters in one breath and the two sides collide with each other...

To Miss Qian Ning's expectation, these mixed elf warriors turned out to be a group of experienced warriors.

Upon contact, the half-blood elf warriors overturned a large group of headhunters.

The headhunters immediately turned around and charged behind...

Now that a large group of helpers appeared on the other side of the hillside, Miss Qian Ning immediately gave instructions to the mixed-blood elf warriors on the top of the city:

"When these headhunters reveal their defeat, we will rush out together and have a good fight with them..."

The mixed-blood elf warriors on the city wall suddenly became more energetic, and even the speed of throwing metal blocks downwards increased a lot.

The headhunters gathered nearly two thousand people at the North Mithril Mine, trying to quickly capture the North Mithril Mine with the headhunters' numerical advantage. However, they never expected that behind the mountains on the west side of the castle , unexpectedly ambushed this group of mixed-blood elves that were twice as many as these headhunters.

The inner circle is the Northern Mithril Mine that is too hard to chew, and the outer circle is a large number of mixed-blood elven warriors. These mixed-blood elven warriors completely wrapped up the dumplings for the two thousand headhunters.

The ones rushing at the front were all sword dancers holding heavy swords. These mixed-blood elves were flashing with gorgeous light. They swung the heavy swords in their hands and charged into the headhunter's camp.

The mixed-blood elf warriors behind followed closely...

These mixed-blood elf warriors were like the tide, slapping the headhunters to death on the beach.

The mixed-blood elf warriors on the city wall frequently fired arrows, plunging the headhunters into chaos.

Several headhunter leaders led their cronies to break out. Several mixed-blood elf captains immediately rushed out from the camp of this group of mixed-blood elf warriors, and they entangled several headhunter leaders.

The battle lasted until dark.

The whole castle was brightly lit, and there was still fighting outside the castle.

After several hours of bloody fighting, only about 500 of the nearly two thousand headhunters were left. Almost all of the headhunters were injured and their bodies had reached their limits.

The battle lasted until midnight, and not a single headhunter escaped from the half-blood elf warriors.

Two thousand headhunters all died in the North Mithril Mine...

There is no way that so many mixed-blood elves can live in the castle in the Northern Mithril Mine for a while.

A mixed-blood elf leader walked into the castle with several of his men. Miss Qian Ning was waiting at the gate of the castle in person...

The remaining mixed-blood elf warriors could only clean the battlefield outside, dispose of the corpses, and set up camp on the west hillside.

"Is our Mayor Roy here?" After entering the castle, the half-blood elf leader asked Channing in a loud voice.

"The boss is not here. He is in Aidasi Mountain in the southern part of the Gaza Mountains. Everyone is from..."

Miss Channing answered honestly.

"We are the mixed-blood elf warriors who came from Barrier Town..." The mixed-blood elf leader briefly explained his origins.

Miss Qian Ning stared at his armor full of scars for a while before finally figuring out the origins of these mixed-blood elf warriors, so she asked: "Are you the rebels of Barrier Town?"

"Exactly, we heard from Lysander that the elven warriors and headhunters were fighting on the Pagisto Plateau, and the situation seemed not to be optimistic, so we rushed here..."

The half-blood elf officer explained

Miss Channing's eyes widened, staring at the rebel leader who ran out of the barrier village.

When Lord Alves of Padstow City was trading slaves, it was these guys who set the table in Padstow City.

Miss Qian Ning immediately decided to write a letter to Roy to report what was happening in the North Mithril Mine.

…

Roy hurried over two days after the war in the Northern Mithril Mine ended.

Carrying Roy flying in the air was Kaka.

When Roy flew to the North Mithril Mine, he saw a large number of mixed-blood elf warriors stationed on the slope outside the city wall. On the hillside opposite the castle, there was a huge pile of corpses that was constantly burning...

With so many mixed-blood elf warriors stationed here, Roy estimated the number of mixed-blood elf warriors, there were at least five thousand...

These mixed-blood elf warriors did not continue to go north, probably because they were afraid of rashly entering the area controlled by the headhunters. If they were not familiar with the area, they might be able to make a sneak attack by the headhunters.

Roy first met Miss Channing, and then saw the mixed-blood elf leader in the castle. He looked familiar to the leader, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this leader was actually the blacksmith from the fortress town blacksmith shop.

Last year, Roy asked him to repair a chain on the Book of Judgment.

Roy knew that there were many mixed-blood elf rebels in Barrier Town, and it was precisely in order to be able to supervise them that Earl Swinburne of the Silver Pegasus Legion made Roy the mayor of the town, and then placed some silver elves among the town clerks. The spy of the Pegasus Legion.

"Herrick has met Mayor Roy..." Captain Herrick stood up and greeted Roy.

"Herrick, why are you here?" Roy asked.

When the rebels disbanded in Barrier Town, some of the rebels left Barrier Town and traveled to the Partington plane together, and some of the rebels returned to Padstow City. The last part of the rebels stayed in Barrier Town and became New residents of Rampart Town.

The group of rebel soldiers brought over by Herrick this time were the rebels who stayed in Barrier Town.

"I know that Lord Alves sold some of the mixed-blood elf slaves to the Pagisto Plateau. At the beginning, we planned to go to the Pagisto Plateau and rescue the compatriots trapped here. Unfortunately, in Padisto The city was defeated by the Silver Pegasus Legion, and was later trapped in the barrier village. Until the rebels were disbanded, they were unable to rescue the mixed-blood elf slaves here..." Herrick explained to Roy.

"This time we heard that the headhunters were preparing to launch a revenge operation, mainly targeting the mixed-blood elves on the plateau, so we rushed over from the barrier town, hoping to do something here!" Herrick continued.

Roy didn't expect that the rebel army had been disbanded for so long. Helic stood up and shouted casually, and thousands of mixed elves followed him to the Pagisto Plateau.

Fortunately, they arrived, and the situation on the plateau was now at an extreme disadvantage.

If they hadn't suddenly appeared, the Northern Mithril Mine might have been breached by the headhunters...

Roy touched his forehead and said to Herrick: "Since your predecessors were rebels, I can't let you join the mine guards. But since you came to Pajisto Plateau to deal with those headhunters, , I can provide you with military supplies and food."

There was a hint of joy in Herrick's eyes.

Roy knew very well that no matter how corrupt the situation on the Pagisto Plateau was, the Silver Pegasus Legion did not want the spark of the rebels to reignite again...

"If you leave Barrier Town like this, you may not be able to go back in the future. What do you plan to do in the future?" Roy asked.

Herrick said calmly:

"Since we ran away from Barrier Town this time, we have no plans to go back. I plan to take a look at Pagisto Plateau first, and if possible, walk to the north of the plateau. I believe... the Partington plane Being so big, we can live well no matter where we are!”

Roy frowned and thought to himself: Saying this in front of the mayor of Barrier Town, you are really an upright guy...
