Path of light

Chapter 423 424. The End of the Headhunter

In the dark jungle clearing, the bonfire was about to burn out, leaving only a pile of dark red charcoal fire.

The sudden battle caused the headhunters to suffer a great loss. More than half of the headhunters were lying in a pool of blood, but the Dark Moon Elf warriors who assassinated them retreated into the darkness again.

A headhunter whose abdomen was slashed was lying on the ground. A piece of intestine flowed out from the open wound in his abdomen. There was a large pool of blood on his lower body. He still had his last breath at the moment. His hands were holding him tightly. He grabbed the thigh of a Dark Moon Elf warrior, and even though the Dark Moon Elf warrior stabbed his dagger in his back, he still held on to the Dark Moon Elf warrior...

Other headhunters who were still capable of fighting rushed toward the Dark Moon Elf warrior.

The Dark Moon Elf Warrior was a little panicked. He wanted to quickly rush into the shadows and hide, but the dying headhunter refused to let go...

Seeing a group of headhunters rushing towards them from behind, the Dark Moon Elf warrior's face turned pale. He could only tighten his grip on the dagger in his hand and prepare to fight the headhunters who rushed towards him.

At this moment, a delicate little hand suddenly stretched out from the shadow, like an extension of the shadow...

The Dark Moon Elf Warrior's eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out his hand, only to feel a force coming to his arm. The Dark Moon Elf Warrior immediately used this pulling force to kick away the headhunter who was hugging him desperately. Or, the body almost jumped directly into the shadow.

The headhunters who caught up watched helplessly as the Dark Moon Elf warrior disappeared in the shadows.

The headhunter captain rushed up with a torch. The black patterns on his face almost turned completely black. He waved the torch back and forth, but unfortunately he could not find those Dark Moon Elf warriors in the shadows...

The headhunters are the best hunters on the Pagisto Plateau. They can clearly feel the presence of those Dark Moon Elf warriors, but they just can't find them...

'ah……'

The headhunter captain shouted angrily and threw the torch onto a charred tree trunk, causing a cloud of sparks to explode.

…

Vice Captain Tennyson pursed his lips and glared at the Dark Moon Elf warrior who was almost left behind by the headhunter.

The Dark Moon Elf warrior lowered his head and did not dare to look at Vice Captain Tennyson. He obviously knew where he had made a mistake.

As an assassin, greed can kill him at any time. He just missed the best opportunity to escape just to kill a headhunter...

Moira was sitting not far away. It was she who just reached out and grabbed the Dark Moon Elf warrior and pulled him into the shadows.

Deputy Captain Tennyson walked into the woods to prepare for the next raid target.

The Dark Moon Elf warrior breathed a sigh of relief and quickly checked his aching left leg. It might be that the headhunter hugged him too tightly before he died, and there were a few dark blue finger marks on his leg.

When his companions walked past him, they all patted him on the shoulder to show comfort!

The Dark Moon Elf warrior hesitated for a moment, then walked slowly to Moira and said to her in a very small voice: "Just now...thank you!"

"You're welcome...we are companions!" Moira responded in a mosquito-like voice, her face slightly red, she was not very good at sociability.

They hid in the depths of the Scorched Wood Forest and did not dare to make any sound, for fear of being discovered by those astute headhunters...

…

On this night, a total of sixteen assassin teams sneaked into Ghost Crow Ridge and launched an assassination operation against the headhunters in Ghost Crow Ridge.

During the day, the griffin cavalry had already discovered the area where the headhunters were hiding. Although they could not determine the specific location, they could still circle the general range.

At night, two captains, Timothy and Tennyson, led sixteen assassin squads into the mountains on the east side of Ghost Crow Ridge, clearing out seven outlying headhunter camps.

Moira followed Deputy Captain Tennyson. With her excellent skills and keen perception, she not only easily completed the assassination mission, but also occasionally extended a helping hand to her companions.

A month ago, in the eyes of these Dark Moon Elf warriors, Moira was just a little girl who turned pale with fear when she saw blood.

Now Moira is not only a member of the assassin team, but also has been recognized by the Dark Moon Elf warriors with her excellent perception...

Vice Captain Tennyson walked out of the darkness and waved to the Dark Moon Elf warriors lurking in the forest. Everything was done quietly.

These Dark Moon Elf warriors followed Deputy Captain Tennyson one by one, heading towards the next raid location...

…

In the middle of the Kaltim Mountains, a rebel army of mixed-blood elf warriors emerged from a canyon.

Looking around, the western part of the Pagisto Plateau is a dark green tundra. There is a kind of slippery moss growing on the ground here. These moss can also bloom a kind of light yellow flowers, which only argali sheep and some rodents can bloom. Can eat this slimy moss.

In addition to moss, there are only some thorny shrubs on this tundra.

There are very few wild animals in this area, and occasionally a ghost-like short-eared rabbit can be seen from the cracks in the rocks.

Captain Herrick took the rebel mixed-blood elf warriors and secretly hid in a valley. On the other side of the valley, there was a team of headhunters heading south...

Captain Herrick stood on the stone cliff at the exit of the valley, staring coldly at the headhunter team of only a few hundred people, and did not order a pursuit.

These headhunters have maintained their physical strength quite well. They feed on some small herbivores on the tundra. They are not the hungry group of headhunters fighting in the Gasai Mountains. Especially when fighting on such a tundra, the mixed-blood elf warriors have no No advantage at all.

"Boss, are we just going to let them go?" A mixed-blood elf warrior looked at the group of headhunters down the valley and asked with some regret.

Helic didn't like other mixed elf warriors calling him 'captain'. When all the commanders in the rebel army were sent to the trial court, he didn't want to see that day.

"Let them go, we don't have to rush to fight these headhunters. Our main purpose of coming here is to find a suitable place on this tundra to cut off the tundra on the west side of the Kartim Mountains... "Captain Herrick said: "...At that time, all the headhunters trying to enter the southern part of Pajisto Plateau will flow into this pocket. At that time, we only need to tighten the pocket and deal with these guys bit by bit. .”

Captain Helik spoke with some enthusiasm, and his eyes shone brightly...

This team had just won a big victory in the southern part of the Gasai Mountains, and it was an unprecedented victory. Seeing a group of headhunters appearing below the valley, the mixed-blood elf warriors felt some uncontrollable impulses.

In fact, Captain Helic also wanted to rush out and swallow the piece of fat that was brought to his mouth.

But the news from those griffons showed that there was a larger team of headhunters behind them. Captain Herrick obviously couldn't take any advantage at this time, and he might even be attacked from both sides...

…

Roy led the mine guards into Ghost Crow Ridge, which had been plowed by the assassin team last night. Even if there were some surviving headhunters left, they had little fighting capacity...

While the team was clearing out the headhunters, they headed west of Ghost Crow Ridge.

As the only druid in the mine guard team, Woods walked in front of the team.

He found a big old tree in this charred wood forest. In front of this big tree with almost no leaves, Woods drew a magic pattern array on the ground, and the magic pattern flowed along with it. Magic power, Woods stood in the center of the magic pattern array and slowly closed his eyes.

Then, magic runes appeared on Woods' body.

He stepped out of the magic pattern circle, came to the big dead tree, and put his hand on the trunk.

Woods closed his eyes silently and relaxed his mind to communicate with the big tree.

Not long after, Woods opened his eyes listlessly. He turned to Roy who was waiting behind him and said:

"There are at least two thousand headhunters scattered on Ghost Crow Ridge. They are scattered all over Ghost Crow Ridge like loose sand. The assassin team drove away the headhunters here last night..."

Roy asked Woods: "Then have you asked him where the nearest team of headhunters to us is?"

Woods pointed to the west of Ghost Crow Ridge and said: "Ten kilometers further, you can meet a group of headhunters..."

"How come the trees here are all burnt and have no leaves?" Roy asked Woods curiously.

"That's because the trees here have mutated to a certain extent. The soil in this mountain contains a lot of black devil aura, so the plants growing from this land rarely grow leaves." Woods said simply. For a moment.

"So the vegetation here has been demonized to a certain extent?" Roy asked curiously.

"That's pretty much it. However, the demons have disappeared from the Elf Continent for nearly ten thousand years. Even if demonized plants appear in some planes, it is not unusual." Woods said to Roy.

Roy nodded and said nothing more.

He stepped on the dark mud-like soil and felt that the soil under his feet became oily and even a little sticky...

The mixed-blood elf warriors searched around in this charred forest and encountered some headhunters who had slipped through the net, and arrested them.

Among these capture teams, the capture team led by Sabrina is the most courageous. They rush almost in front of all the capture teams, so they have more chances to encounter headhunters.

With Sabrina at the forefront, those headhunters who tried to resist were beheaded by her.

Sabrina rushes to the front in almost every battle, overwhelming the headhunters...

I have met headhunter captains several times. Their combat power is obviously much stronger than ordinary headhunters, but in front of Sabrina, these headhunter captains can hardly get any advantage...

Sabrina slashed the heavy sword in her hand at the headhunter captain, and an ice spear flew out from behind the sword light.

The headhunter captain was stabbed by an ice spear and his whole body was covered in a layer of frost. As his steps slowly became sluggish, a group of mixed-blood elf warriors rushed out from behind and killed the headhunter.

There are many headhunters on Ghost Crow Ridge, but in this area on the east side, after a whole night of assassinations, there are really not many headhunters who still have the strength to continue fighting.

Just like that, at night, the assassin team attacked the headhunter camp.

During the day, Roy led the mixed elf warriors to attack from the front, occupying Ghost Crow Ridge bit by bit.

In just one week, Roy's mine guards occupied the east side of Ghost Crow Ridge...

The mixed-blood elf warriors in the mine guard slowly adapted to the battle with the headhunters. As the material resources from Padstow City continued to be sent to the second mine on the Padisto Plateau, they were then transported by the second mine. Go to Ghost Crow Ridge.

With the armaments and supplies supported by the Silver Pegasus Legion, Roy finally securely defended the east side of Ghost Crow Ridge.

After every fierce battle, corpses would be left on the ground in the woods. These corpses would bleed a lot of blood and seep into the oily black soil...

Sometimes, Roy found that the black soil underneath some campfires could burn.

In these ghostly woods, almost every inch of land bears traces of bloody battles between headhunters and half-blood elf warriors...

After some headhunters died in battle, the mixed elves would dig a deep pit directly under the big tree and bury them under the big tree.

Because of the full support of the Assassin Squad and the Griffin Regiment, the battle on Ghost Crow Ridge went smoothly.

Woods transformed into a violent earth bear and climbed onto a boulder, watching the defeated headhunters leave in a hurry with cold eyes.

The two main reasons for the failure of the headhunters this time are that the locations of all headhunter teams are too scattered. When these headhunter teams fight against the mine guards, they almost always fight alone and rarely join forces to resist the mixed elves. attack.

The second point is that the assassin team successfully raided and almost destroyed the headhunters' fighting will first...

When the mine guards fought, these headhunters hurriedly responded and were quickly defeated by the half-blood elf warriors.

News of the fierce battle between the mixed-blood elf warriors and the headhunters in Ghost Crow Ridge quickly spread in the southern part of the plateau. Some mixed elves rushed to Ghost Crow Ridge, wanting to join Roy's mine guard team.

Roy's mine guards successfully stopped the headhunters who were trying to enter the southern part of the plateau from the Kaltim Mountains.

…

At this time, Captain Herrick led the rebel soldiers and started several fierce battles with the headhunters on a hillside in the middle of the Kardim Mountains.

These headhunters came one after another from the north of the Pagisto Plateau. They walked south along the Kaltim Mountains and were intercepted by mixed-blood elf warriors on the way. After a trial, the two sides immediately broke away from the battle.

Afterwards, these headhunters hid in the mountain col. It became more difficult for Captain Herrick to engage in a head-on battle with these headhunters.

The headhunters are almost constantly fighting in this rolling mountainous area...

Fortunately, Captain Herrick was accompanied by two gryphon cavalry. They were able to continuously detect the true and false status of the headhunters at high altitudes and prevent Captain Herrick from falling into the trap set by the headhunters.

The rebel fighters failed to defeat the headhunters in the middle part of the Kaltim Mountains, and therefore failed to form an encirclement with Roy's mine guards in the southern part of the Kaltim Mountains.

As the mixed elves on the plateau continued to pour into Ghost Crow Ridge.

In just two weeks, nearly four thousand mixed-blood elves gathered in Ghost Crow Ridge...
