Path of light

Chapter 416 417. Tianpu Canyon

The room was quiet. Herrick leaned against the wall, turned his head and looked out the window.

In the courtyard, Miss Channing and a group of her subordinates were preparing dinner. There were four rows of long tables in the courtyard, and the tables covered with white tablecloths were piled with all kinds of food.

This time Helic brought more than 5,000 mixed-blood elf warriors from Barrier Town. Such a large army would require a huge amount of logistical supplies no matter where it went.

Just one meal will consume the supplies of the North Mithril Mine for the next ten days...

Roy promised Herrick that he would provide them with sufficient supplies in the future, and at the same time he would not incorporate them into the mine guard team. This was exactly what Herrick wanted to see.

No matter what, these mixed-blood elf warriors are all rebels, and the Silver Moon Elf military will not allow them to enter the military system.

Helic wore a heavy plate armor, and there were several scars on his arms...

Roy cast his gaze on the desk and asked Herrick:

"Both the public security and development prospects of Barrier Town are very good now. Why are you still planning to leave Barrier Town?"

Herrick lowered his head, rubbed the hilt of the sword with his calloused hands and said:

"Indeed, Barrier Town is very good now. Without the riots in Padstow City, life in Barrier Town would be very comfortable."

Then he sighed softly and said:

"But it doesn't work now. Even if the rebels take off their armor and put down their weapons, no matter what changes we make, the Silver Moon Elf military will always be wary of us. Ever since Partington hasn't lifted the ban for so long, It can be seen that if our threat is not eliminated, the Partington plane may remain closed."

Roy has also thought about this matter. In fact, he doesn't quite understand the behavior of the senior officials of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Herrick smiled and said:

"We chose to stay at the beginning because many of the mixed-blood elf warriors who stayed here were injured. They needed to recuperate in the barrier town for a while until their bodies fully recovered before they could prepare for the journey..."

Roy nodded.

Herrick continued:

"Now we are leaving Barrier Town because we are needed in other places, just like the Pagisto Plateau now."

"Of course, we also want to visit other places besides Pajisto Plateau."

"At the beginning, two rebel leaders led some elf warriors into the unknown area of ​​the Partington plane. We have to follow the path they took and walk it again. But now, I want to These headhunters rush back.”

"We can't let them always have the illusion that 'mixed-blood elves are just soft persimmons who are at the mercy of others, don't know how to resist, and are used to being oppressed.'"

When Helic said these words, he seemed to be emitting a different radiance.

Immediately afterwards, Herrick said sonorously and forcefully:

"The reason we rioted in Padstow City was because the mixed elves in Padstow City had been living under the oppression of Lord Alves, and were eventually sold as slaves."

"Now, the same is true for the headhunters who have emerged from the Pagisto Plateau. They think that we half-blood elves are easy to bully, and they can just catch us and buy them into the mines."

"I don't quite understand...why do these plateau natives bully mixed elves?"

"If they dare to stretch out their hands, I will chop off all their hands to make them remember..."

It can be seen... Helic is a bloody mixed-blood elf warrior.

Roy didn't think so.

He just wants to manage the eight mines he has taken over and rescue the mixed-blood elf slaves in the mines. In fact, he only wants to do these two things...

He led the mine guards to resist the plateau headhunters. He was forced to resist only after they were beaten to the door.

In fact, he hopes that the Silver Pegasus Legion can turn around and deal with the plateau headhunters here after solving the troubles in the Queen Egwene Islands.

Almost all the headhunters who came from the north along the Gasi Mountains were restrained by Roy in the southern part of the Gasi Mountains.

But the headhunters heading south along other mountain ranges have already appeared in the southern wasteland of Pajisto Plateau...

If these headhunters are allowed to cause riots in the southern part of the plateau.

It is estimated that before long, even the three spinel mines in Roy may not be able to be saved.

This time, the rebel mixed-blood elf warriors annihilated nearly two thousand headhunters outside the castle of the Northern Mithril Mine, killing all the headhunters who entered the southern part of the Sudarso Mountains in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that these headhunters don't have anything valuable on them. The war blades in their hands are poorly made and can only be thrown into the furnace to be re-melted into metal ingots.

The leather armor on their bodies was of no value and could only be piled up and burned together with their corpses. However, the smoke that came out had a smell that only emitted when the leather was burnt.

…

Helic brought a group of mixed-blood elf warriors from the rebel army to the Pagisto Plateau, just enough to give Roy a breather...

Only by dealing with these headhunters in the southern part of the Gasai Mountains can Roy be able to deal with the plateau headhunters in other places.

The most scarce thing for the mixed-blood elven war group composed of rebels is food and military supplies.

In fact, the warehouse of the North Mithril Mine still stores a batch of elf biscuits that Roy brought back from the first mine last time.

If this batch of elf biscuits were placed in the Northern Mithril Mine, it would be enough to feed the mixed elf warriors in the Northern Mithril Mine for more than half a year. However, if provided to the rebel army like Helic, it would actually only be enough to feed the mixed elf warriors of the rebel army. Half a month.

Roy brought a lot of arrows this time, which can also be provided to these mixed elf warriors.

When the rebel army was disbanded, their armors and weapons were not confiscated by the Silver Moon Elf military. Otherwise, if Roy had to deal with the weapons and equipment of five thousand mixed-blood elf warriors, he would really have no choice...

Five thousand mixed-blood elf warriors arrived in the northern part of the Sudarso Mountains, immediately putting the Northern Mithril Mine into a shortage of supplies.

So Roy could only send little Eugene to the southern part of Pagisto Plateau overnight.

Young Eugene knew Lysander.

Roy estimated that Lysander's pack team should still be operating near the first mine. If he could find Lysander, he would ask Lysander to go to Padstow City, purchase a large amount of supplies there, and then hire people from the city. The carriages and horses transported the supplies to the foot of the Pagisto Plateau.

The Silver Pegasus Legion has a temporary camp at the foot of the Pagisto Plateau. Although all the Silver Moon Elf warriors of the Legion have evacuated, the temporary camp should still be there.

Lysander can completely store supplies that cannot be transported up in the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain.

Otherwise, with the size of Lysander's current pack team, the supplies transported would not be able to sustain the consumption of so many mixed-blood elf warriors...

Moreover, Claire should be in Lysander's pack team now. With his help, I believe it won't be too difficult for Lysander to purchase supplies in Padstow City.

…

Helic led five thousand mixed-blood elf warriors to the north...

Roy took Kaka's griffon back to the North Black Iron Mine Castle. The griffin group was carrying out a clearing plan in the wilderness, and all cattle and sheep had to drive south.

If headhunters want to hunt cattle and sheep, they have to go deep into the wilderness.

Even if they rode the argali into the wilderness, it would probably take them two days and two nights to see the one-horned bison.

Because the Griffins often haunt Mount Shyvana and Mount Aurelion, the headhunters who originally lived in the wild were forced to gather in two mining castles. The two mining castles were crowded with nearly 4,000 headhunters. .

Almost all the headhunters in the Gasai Mountains gather in the two castles, and only some hunting teams will sneak into the wilderness to hunt one-horned bison.

In fact, this group of headhunters who entered the Gasai Mountains were also struggling to survive in a dilemma.

Their passage south was along the Sudarso Mountains. As soon as they left the Sudarso Mountains, they reached the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau.

It's just that this road is currently cut off by the North Mithril Mine. If the plateau headhunters want to enter the Sudarso Mountains, but don't want their back route to be cut off, they can only find a way to capture the North Mithril Mine...

It's a pity that they have never been able to crack the hard nut of the Northern Mithril Mine.

In addition, the Northern Black Iron Mine in Aidasi Mountain is no longer in the hands of the headhunters, which means that there is still a nail firmly driven into their retreat path. If this nail is not removed, they will not be able to escape from the sky waterfall of the Gasai Mountains. Headhunters heading north into the canyon will face the threat of the mixed-blood elf warriors in the northern black iron mines.

It is said that Tianpu Canyon is the only passage in the Gasai Mountains.

In the past few days, griffins can always be seen wandering above the canyon, making the headhunters panic again...

…

The Sky Falls Canyon is like the remains left behind after the ancient Titans cut off the Gasai Mountains with a giant sword.

The Kasai Mountains were cut in half, and after thousands of years of wind, rain, forest and sun, today's waterfall canyon is full of traces of weathered rocks.

A squadron of Headhunters stood guard at the southern entrance to Skyfall Canyon.

A dozen headhunters guarding the entrance of the canyon were patrolling back and forth at the entrance of the canyon with swords in their hands.

This happens to be a wind outlet in the Gasai Mountains. The strong winds in the canyon often blow out some flying sand and rocks from the canyon. Over time, a long and narrow earth platform is formed on the opposite side of the canyon...

Headhunters guarded the entrance to the canyon, and some headhunters emerged from the canyon every day.

However, in recent days, the number of headhunters coming from the north has been decreasing little by little.

The entrance to Tianpu Canyon looks like a spout from a distance, and the narrow earth platform in front of it looks like water flowing from the spout...

The south entrance of Tianpu Canyon is only less than twenty meters wide at best, and when you walk out of the entrance of the canyon, you will encounter a piece of soft sand.

As the sun set, the headhunters guarding the entrance to the canyon hid under the stone cliff on the west side of the canyon early.

During the day, the exit of the canyon is okay, as you can bask in the sun with your back to the wind.

But at night, the cold wind blowing on my face hurts like a knife...

At night, headhunters rarely stand guard in front of the valley entrance.

No other race will emerge from the canyon.

The headhunters had been blowing cold wind all day, and they urgently needed to be around the fire to bake the frozen areas...

…

Roy watched the Griffin Gate fly into the night sky, and then waved to the assassin team and the mixed-blood elf warriors, motioning for them to surround them.

Next to the bonfire under the rock cliff of Tianpu Canyon, Roy finally saw the headhunter guarding here.

Under the firelight, these headhunters were eating their dinner.

The assassin team, led by Timothy, has completely sneaked into the night...

Roy was followed by a group of mixed elf warriors, including Sabrina and Woods.

At this time, the assassin team began to slowly approach the headhunters in front of the bonfire.

Roy led the mixed elf warriors to slowly surround him...

A headhunter sitting next to the campfire suddenly raised his head and sniffed hard into the wind. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the hiding place of Roy and the mixed elf warrior.

A howl came from his mouth: "Those elves are here again..."

Almost all the headhunters were shocked. They stood up in front of the bonfire and looked in the direction of the headhunter who spoke.

Sure enough, in the howling cold wind, you can still hear the messy footsteps.

The headhunters immediately lit the prepared torches, holding a torch in each hand, and faced Roy and the mixed-blood elf warrior behind him...

Neither side roared, but just meleeed beside the campfire.

Woods was the first among all the mixed elf warriors to rush forward. His body suddenly transformed into a violent earth bear. Without even letting out any roar, his bear paws the size of a cattail fan swept towards a headhunter. .

Woods was very big, and he charged forward with another 'claw attack'. The headhunter waved his war blade to defend, and his huge claws slapped on the edge of the war blade, only to hear a crisp sound of gold and iron. With a sound, the war blade in the headhunter's hand was knocked away. Woods' claws slapped the headhunter's cheek hard, and four bloody scars suddenly appeared...

The other headhunters also took out their weapons and surrounded Woods, the bear.

Roy's mixed-blood elf warriors immediately surrounded the Earth Fury Bear and swung their swords at the rushing headhunters...

At the same time, the assassin team that circled behind these headhunters also launched an attack...

The headhunters at night seemed a little unclear, and they fell one after another under the attack of the mixed-blood elves and dark moon elves.

From the outbreak to the end of this battle, in less than an hour, the headhunters guarding the entrance of Tianpu Canyon were all killed by the mixed-blood elves and dark moon elves brought over by Roy, and then these mixed-blood elven warriors were also killed. Rest and use local materials to build a stone wall at the entrance of the canyon.

By dawn, the more than 20-meter-long stone wall at the south exit of Tianpu Canyon had begun to take shape.

After Roy led the elf warriors to sneak attack the southern entrance of the Tianfu Canyon interrupted by the Gasai Mountains, they did not evacuate immediately, but prepared to build a defense at the entrance of the canyon.

At dawn, the gryphon group transported the gray dwarves from the North Black Iron Mine.

This group of gray dwarves are naturally good at moving rocks, and they are also good at building walls...

On the contrary, the castle in the North Black Iron Mine became a little empty.
