Path of light

Chapter 422 423. Ghost Crow Ridge

Roy led the mine guards to rush to the third mine, and the headhunters just happened to occupy Ghost Crow Ridge.

The third mine is the mine closest to Ghost Crow Ridge. Headhunters have already set their sights here. They saw that the fortress of the third mine was filled with mixed-blood elf warriors. Those who came to investigate the situation The headhunters did not act rashly.

A group of headhunters lurking on the cliffs of the rocky mountain were huddled in fur mattresses.

Their bodies were also covered with some dark rocks, and their heads were covered with a layer of iron thorns, allowing them to blend perfectly into the mountain wall.

As long as this group of headhunters looked down, they could see the roof of the third mine fortress.

However, there were several griffons wandering in the sky at this time, so the headhunters did not dare to poke their heads out, or even move, for fear of being discovered by the griffins...

He stayed up like this until evening, and then the headhunter on the cliff stuck his head out to look at the third mine.

At this time, all the rooms in the Third Mine Fortress were lit up with lights, and even the guards on the city wall were obviously more than yesterday.

The headhunters also planned to sneak into the fortress at night and take back the third mine from the mixed-blood elves if the troops in the third mine were empty. But now they saw that the third mine suddenly became very busy. Obviously It is the third mine that has added more manpower.

The headhunters hiding on the cliff suddenly gave up the idea of ​​sneak attack on the third mine.

As a group of mixed-blood elves inside the fortress cheered, the sound even covered up the howling wind and reached the ears of the headhunters on the top of the cliff.

The headhunters couldn't help but look at each other. No matter how slow they were at this moment, they knew that there should be a large number of reinforcements from mixed elves coming to the third mine.

…

Roy and a thousand mixed elf warriors successfully arrived at the third mine in the afternoon of that day.

The mixed elves in the third mine saw the mixed elves warriors of the mine guard, and immediately welcomed everyone into the fortress. Although they heard the news about the victory in the battle in the Jasi Mountains, they were not familiar with that battle. They didn't know the details, and they all wanted to know how the mine guards defeated the group of headhunters in the Gasan Mountains.

As the owner of the mine, Roy was naturally welcomed by all the mixed-blood elves in the third mine.

The mixed elves stood in the courtyard, looking at Roy with admiration, watching Roy walk to the room on the third floor surrounded by a group of mixed elven warriors.

Woods and Miss Tiffany, who were following Roy, were also the focus of everyone's attention.

The mixed elves are all whispering that the battle in the Gasai Mountains has been spread into several versions...

Of course, being able to lead the mixed-blood elf warriors to resist the headhunters on the plateau makes the mixed-blood elves grateful.

Roy simply wiped his face with a towel in the room, took another rest, and then came back to the curved terrace in the corridor on the third floor. He held the railings with both hands and faced the mixed-blood elves who still refused to disperse in the courtyard. said:

"Everyone, please disperse. After we stayed in the third mine for one night, we are about to set off for Black Crow Ridge. Our soldiers have been sleeping and eating all the way in the past few days. They need a good night's rest to recover some physical strength!"

"Boss Roy, you led the mine guards to defeat the plateau headhunters in the Jiasi Mountains. Are you going to Ghost Crow Ridge to drive the headhunters back to the Northland this time?" A mixed-blood elf was in the yard. , bravely asked loudly.

"That's right, this time we went to Ghost Crow Ridge just to get rid of the headhunters over there and take back part of the mine there!" Roy said unhurriedly, holding on to the railing.

He seemed very confident when he said these words.

Because not long ago, he had successfully received the news that Captain Herrick led the rebel army to the west of the Kartim Mountains.

This was also the reason why he couldn't stay in the third mine for one more day and rushed to Ghost Crow Ridge.

Once Captain Helic starts to put pressure on the headhunters in the western part of the plateau, the situation in Ghost Crow Ridge will deteriorate instantly...

The best way is for Roy to lead the mine guards to occupy a position in Ghost Crow Ridge before the situation in Ghost Crow Ridge worsens.

The mixed-blood elves below heard that Roy was about to march into Ghost Crow Ridge, and they immediately cheered.

…

Roy then returned to the room. There happened to be a window on the other side of the room. Roy pushed open the wooden window and looked out at the amiable dusk.

Returning to the third mine this time, Roy was very happy because he was warmly welcomed by the mixed elves in the third mine.

In fact, he asked himself in his heart more than once:

‘Is this the life I want? ’

Roy felt that these things on the Pajisto Plateau were not actually what he wanted to do most...

It's just that one thing was thrown directly into his face, so he had to bite the bullet and continue.

Now he has taken over eight mines at once and fought a big battle with the headhunters. Even if Roy wants to retreat at this time, what should the mixed elves gathered around him do?

Patting his forehead and letting the wind from the window blow on his face, Roy felt a little more awake.

There are many mixed-blood elves chatting outside. It can be seen that the mixed-blood elves living in the third mine also want to know the situation outside.

The battle in the Gasai Mountains buried nearly 6,000 plateau headhunters. After this news spread to the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, the name 'Roy Mine Owner' spread to the ears of all the mixed elves in the Pagisto Plateau. middle.

I still remember that when I was very young, Ms. Belinda told little Roy that being an elf means loving bravely, chasing dreams, and helping people around you to the best of your ability.

Roy felt that he was trying his best to do these things now. He could feel Moira's deep attachment to him. In fact, having a well-behaved and cute mixed-blood elf girl standing beside him silently was still a feeling for Roy. very good.

Every time I see Moira's clear eyes and sweet smile, it seems like all worries can be left behind.

As for Roy's dream, if this question had been asked to him three years ago, Roy might not have been able to tell what it was, but now Roy's dream is to find the Holy Light...

…

After the assassin team arrived at the third mine, they disbanded on the spot, and the Dark Moon Elf warriors went to rest in the assigned dormitories.

We have to rush to Ghost Crow Ridge tomorrow morning, so the assassin team has no tasks scheduled tonight.

Although Moira is with the assassin team, her residence is not arranged with the Dark Moon Elf warriors.

Before leaving, Vice Captain Tennyson patted Moira on the shoulder and told her: "Get a good rest, the next few days may become very hard..."

Moira touched the handle of the stabbing saber at her waist with one hand. This had almost become her habitual action.

Although she looked sweet and quiet standing in the yard at the moment, the Dark Moon elves who were familiar with her knew that there were at least twenty stars painted on the hilt of the stabbing saber at her waist.

Even Deputy Captain Tennyson has to admit that Moira has a very outstanding talent of Dark Moon Elf blood...

Of course, every Dark Moon Elf warrior has the talent of concealment.

But Moira was praised by Captain Tennyson for more than just that. She also has very keen perceptions, such as: prediction of danger, keen sense of smell for prey, ability to control the surrounding environment, etc...

At this time, the mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard team also went to find the arranged dormitories.

Moira quickly ran to Sabrina's side and followed Sabrina to their and Miss Tiffany's room. The room was arranged on the third floor. Because of Miss Tiffany's relationship, the room not only had a bathroom, but also a bathroom. There must also be a nice big bathtub.

Sabrina currently serves in the Guard. She is usually responsible for the martial arts training of the mixed elf warriors...

Seeing Moira walking over, Sabrina blocked her shoulder, and the two of them quietly walked up the stairs while talking in low voices about the things they encountered on the way.

Back in the room, the two of them heard the sound of water splashing from the bathroom...

For a Naga Hai tribe, no matter where they go, the first thing they do is to change back to their original appearance and take a good bath.

"Roy told me in the morning to advise you no matter what. Next, the guards will enter Ghost Crow Ridge, and the assassin team will also go on frequent missions. Roy doesn't want you to go out and take risks." Sabrina said. He held his sister's shoulders and whispered in her ear.

"I know, sister, I will try my best to avoid dangerous tasks."

Moira responded softly, her eyes narrowed with a hint of cunning.

Sabrina also knew that Moira would not be so easily persuaded. She had done more than a dozen missions in the Gasai Mountains and Moira had become a qualified assassin. Naturally, she would not give up easily now.

The two of them leaned against the window and chatted quietly.

From here you can just see a stream on the hillside, and a moss-covered slope in the distance.

…

The mine guards only stayed at the third mine for one night. After replenishing enough supplies here, the mine guards continued to walk west along the mountains.

The end of this mountain ridge happened to intersect with Ghost Crow Ridge. A large number of headhunters appeared in Ghost Crow Ridge. Roy did not want to put these headhunters into the southern part of the plateau, so he had to intercept these headhunters at Ghost Crow Ridge.

Sabrina followed the team of half-blood elf warriors. She rode a war horse, and there was no expression on her helmeted face.

The visor was removed by her and stuck on top of the helmet.

This heavy armor has some weight, and the war horse underneath her obviously has more difficulty walking than other war horses.

As a sword dancer, Sabrina always rushes to the front every time she fights, taking the lead.

After several battles, the mixed elf warriors in the team were very convinced of Sabrina...

She can block several headhunters by herself, and the mixed-blood elf warriors like to fight behind her.

In fact, Mu Lin has always envied Sabrina. Although Mu Lin is the best among these young mixed elves, many young mixed elves do not respect her as much as Sabrina...

…

In the sky, Kaka rode a griffon and stared at the dark trees below, looking for traces of the headhunter.

The Griffin Regiment was the first to arrive at Ghost Crow Ridge, and the task of the Griffin Cavalry was to find the headhunter's hiding place.

However, the headhunters on Ghost Crow Ridge were very alert. When they noticed the appearance of the Griffin Cavalry, they immediately disappeared into the forest of Ghost Crow Ridge.

This mountain range is on the Pagisto Plateau, a very rare place where trees are densely covered with trees and overgrown weeds.

If the headhunters want to avoid the sight of the griffin cavalry, they only need to drill into the dark forest. It is actually quite difficult to find them.

And the trees on this mountain ridge are also very special. There is a large forest that looks like it has been scorched by a fire. Those trees only have some dark branches and no leaves can be seen. But it is such a charred forest with branches. And very dense.

Several griffin cavalry were wandering in the sky, but could not see any trace of the headhunter.

Roy led the mine guards to the eastern edge of Ghost Crow Ridge and camped there at night.

…

A bonfire was lit in the scorched wood forest, the north wind was howling, and the woods seemed full of ghosts.

A group of headhunters were hiding in this area. Originally, they were going to cross Ghost Crow Ridge and enter the tundra in front of them during the day. However, they discovered that griffons appeared in the sky. For safety reasons, this group of headhunters hid again. Into this smelly charred wood forest.

The headhunters planned to rush directly into the gathering place where the half-blood elves were hiding and launch a revenge operation against the half-blood elves there.

Then he slowly circled around with the mixed-blood elves in that mountain forest...

They had walked all the way along the Kaltim Mountains and had captured five mines. This time they sensed the danger in Ghost Crow Ridge and decided to take shelter for one night.

In the shadow, a sharp blade was like an extension of the black shadow, and finally escaped from the shadow, completely appearing on the neck of a headhunter, and then easily slit the headhunter's throat.

The headhunter just felt a sting in his throat. When he touched his neck, his hands were covered with blood.

The headhunters on the other side of the fire looked at him with horrified faces, their eyes full of fear. All the headhunters around the campfire stood up, holding the war blade in their hands, leaning against the fire, and everyone stood side by side. Huddle together and observe what's going on outside.

These headhunters were very experienced in combat. They lit torches and looked into the darkness, but no one ran out...

One headhunter captain even threw his torch into the shadows, but found nothing.

It was extremely quiet all around, with only the howling mountain wind blowing past the headhunter...

The headhunter captain took the initiative to take two steps forward. A dark moon elf warrior suddenly appeared next to him. The dagger in his hand was inserted into the back of the headhunter captain's heart. However, the headhunter captain was already on guard. His elbow He pressed hard on the left rib of the Dark Moon Elf warrior,

The dark moon elf warrior fell to the ground in embarrassment, and then quickly retreated into the shadows.

Other Dark Moon Elf warriors in the assassin team also appeared one after another. Some Dark Moon Elf warriors successfully stabbed the headhunter, while others retreated into the darkness in embarrassment.
