Path of light

Chapter 458 459. Plateau City

After the mine guards occupied the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau, Mullin has been guarding the camp.

This tundra is full of headhunter tribes, and the mine guards need to slowly clear the mountains one by one. Even with the help of the griffin group, this requires patience.

She came behind Roy wearing standard armor and asked Roy:

"You want to take these headhunters to the wilderness?"

Roy turned his head to look at Mu Lin, and then looked at the headhunters in the camp. Now the camp looked like a refugee camp.

Roy nodded and said:

"Well, I plan to build a prisoner-of-war concentration camp by the Tuolai River in the wilderness, and gather these headhunters there. This will make management easier."

He paused and then said:

"We can't kill all the headhunters, and of course we can't expel them from the Pagisto Plateau and let them fend for themselves, let alone carve out an area for them to develop slowly. I've thought about it , the wilderness is rich in resources, as long as a prisoner of war camp is built next to the wilderness, those resources will be enough to feed these headhunters."

Mu Lin stared at Roy, who had a young human face.

Mu Lin felt that he was not like an elf at all. Elves like to live a comfortable life, but Roy is different.

He always has a lot of bold ideas, and he dares to try them. Those ideas are full of creativity.

Before the situation in the Jiaxi Mountains was completely clear, he dared to lead the mixed elf warriors to capture the Tianpu Canyon...

After the mine guards entered the northern part of the plateau, they drove countless headhunter tribes to the ancestral land of Gazan, and then moved to the Nicobar Mountains.

The Mine Guards seem to have great achievements in battle, but in fact, the Mine Guards have no achievements worth showing off.

Now it is planned to build a concentration camp by the Tuolai River in the wilderness, and based on the news coming from the North Black Iron Mine, Roy had already started preparations more than a month ago.

Just now, the Griffin Cavalry reported to Mullin that Captain Herrick sent a large number of Headhunter prisoners of war from the northern battlefield, and these prisoners of war were about to arrive at the camp.

Roy came to the camp in the north of Tianpu Canyon at this time, probably to deal with these headhunter prisoners of war.

There are too many headhunters in the camp, and various conflicts and contradictions occur every day. Mu Lin has long been confused by these old, young, sick and disabled headhunters. Now Roy is finally here, and she wants to take a look. How will Roy solve it...

Unexpectedly, Roy wanted to build a prisoner-of-war camp in the hinterland of the Pagisto Plateau.

At this time, a mixed-blood elf warrior riding an argali appeared on the mountain ridge to the north. He held the reins with one hand and looked toward the camp. Then he raised a hand. A moment later, a large group of people appeared around him. A hybrid elf warrior riding an argali.

Judging from their travel-stained appearance, you can tell that they have come from afar...

Afterwards, groups of headhunters with ropes tied to their bodies appeared on the mountains. Many of the headhunters had no leather clothes on their bodies and were only wrapped in some rags. They looked exhausted. They lined up in long lines and were beaten. Some leather ropes were tied together.

"They're coming!"

Mu Lin pointed to the headhunter prisoners in the distance and said to Roy.

Roy stood at the entrance of the camp, looking calmly at the mixed-blood elf warrior walking at the front.

He should be the leader of this team.

After he saw Roy, he immediately rode an argali to Roy and saluted Roy respectfully:

"Adair has met Boss Roy. Captain Herrick sent me to send you some Headhunter prisoners of war and asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"

Roy nodded.

"How is the situation in the Ancestral Land of Gazan? Is Commander Helic okay? What difficulties are you having there?" Roy asked.

The mixed-blood elf Adair waved his hand behind him, signaling the mixed-blood elf warriors behind him to escort the headhunter prisoners over.

Mulin walked towards the mixed-blood elf warriors. She was responsible for arranging the arrangements for these mixed-blood elf warriors and headhunter prisoners of war.

Only then did Adair say:

"The northern part of the plateau is a series of large snow-capped mountains. The terrain there is complex. The land of the ancestors of Gazan is in a hot spring valley deep in the snow-capped mountains. There is only one entrance to the hot spring valley, and it is almost surrounded by snow-capped mountains. We will headhunt these The soldiers were trapped inside, but they were unable to capture the Gazan Valley. We currently occupied the slope west of the entrance to the valley and established a camp there.

The biggest difficulty for us at present is the lack of cold protection supplies and magic potions. To suppress the headhunters in the land of the ancestors of Gazan, a large number of arrows are consumed every day, and these materials are consumed a lot. "

Roy said: "Based on the flight time, these supplies should have arrived at the land of the ancestors of Gazan."

The mixed-blood elf Adair's eyes lit up and he said with surprise: "Really? It's so good..."

"Before I come, Captain Herrick asked me to confirm with you again, will you accept Headhunter prisoners of war in the future?" Adair asked Roy impatiently.

"Well, I will take as many Headhunter prisoners of war as I want, and each prisoner of war can be paid on a head-to-head basis. After all, it is not easy for you to fight on the front line. In addition, you and Captain Helic said, I To buy the three mines in the Kaltim Mountains, the money can be converted into any supplies, as long as I can get them."

Roy took Adair into the camp, talking as he walked.

"..."

Adair didn't know what to say for a moment.

It is true as Captain Herrick said, no matter what kind of concessions he makes, Boss Roy will find a way to make up for it.

…

This time Captain Adair escorted back a total of 1,500 Headhunter prisoners of war.

Almost all of this group of prisoners of war were captured on the battlefield in the land of the ancestors of Gazan...

Prior to this, Captain Helic led the mixed elf warriors to fight in the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau, leaving almost no prisoners of war behind.

Because their mixed-blood elf army has no logistics team and reserve army, it has no ability or energy to deal with these prisoners of war.

It was precisely in the battles ahead that these mixed-blood elf warriors almost refused to accept the surrender of the headhunters, which frightened the headhunters who fled into the ancestral land of Gazan...

In the face of death, these headhunters who are violent by nature also appear extremely vulnerable.

Therefore, as long as they are defeated, this group of headhunters will quickly express their willingness to surrender to the mixed elf warriors.

The captured headhunters were escorted to the North Camp of Tianpu Canyon. After Roy accepted this group of headhunter prisoners of war, he did not stay in the north camp. He continued to take this group of headhunter prisoners of war, as well as the original prisoners of war in the camp. More than 3,000 headhunters, old, young, sick and disabled, and 3,000 argali sheep passed through the Tianpu Canyon and returned to the Gasai Mountains.

There are always griffin cavalry from the griffin regiment circling back and forth in the sky. .

More than 3,400 old, young, sick and disabled headhunters with the weakest physical strength walked at the front of the team. Although they gritted their teeth and insisted on moving forward, a large number of headhunters still fell behind every day because they could not walk.

Whenever a headhunter falls behind, Roy will arrange for the group of headhunter prisoners following behind to carry them forward.

At the end are three thousand argali sheep...

The team passed through the glacier path in the Tianpu Canyon and passed the towering wall on the south side of the canyon. The southern mountains of the Gasai Mountains immediately appeared in sight.

It took four days for the headhunter prisoners of war to follow a path along the edge of the mountains to the foot of the castle in the North Black Iron Mine. The headhunters were not eligible to enter the castle and could only set up a temporary camp on the hillside outside the castle.

Due to the lack of tents, only some old and infirm headhunters were qualified to live in tents, while the rest of the headhunters had no choice but to sleep on the grass.

Arriving in the southern part of the Gazai Mountains, the climate here is much better. You can't feel the biting cold wind. A group of headhunter prisoners of war huddle together to keep each other warm.

Walker invited Roy into the castle. Roy walked in front and asked Walker:

"Are those shipping racks ready?"

Walker followed Roy and replied:

"It's all done..."

"Come on, take me to see it."

Roy immediately walked towards the mine behind the castle.

This time Walker did not lead Roy into the mine yard, but walked out from the side door of the castle...

Just outside the castle, next to the stables, three thousand argali sheep are in a large sheepfold.

A dozen mixed-blood elf warriors were hanging shelves on the hooks on both sides of the saddle, and then tried to load stones into the shelves on both sides. One shelf could barely carry three hollow stones, and the two sides added up to six. piece.

Roy walked over and took a look. The shelves were just the right size and very light and strong, just right for transporting the stones.

"Boss Roy, do you think this shelf is what you want?" Walker asked.

"It's not bad, yes, this is what I want..." Roy picked up a shelf and placed it in front of him for a while before saying.

When this group of mixed-blood elves heard what Roy said, they immediately became excited and everyone moved out all the shelves in the forging workshop.

…

The Headhunter prisoners of war rested for a night on the hillside outside the castle of the Northern Black Iron Mine...

The next morning, the mixed-blood elves in the Northern Black Iron Mine got up early again and hung these simple shelves made of iron bars on the saddles on both sides of the argali. These shelves were just enough to be stuck firmly on the saddles. Hooks on both sides.

What was placed on the shelves were not valuable materials, but square hollow stones with regular shapes.

After loading the stones, a large team of three thousand argali sheep left the Beibei Iron Mine and headed south along the path at the foot of the mountain.

Roy led five thousand headhunter prisoners of war to follow the argali team, which extended more than ten kilometers south on the mountain road.

The North Black Iron Mine is only more than a hundred kilometers away from the northern part of the wilderness. This group of headhunters walked for three full days before reaching the edge of the northern edge of the wilderness.

Standing on the hillside and looking south, you can see a large expanse of lush grassland. Large groups of one-horned bison and wild yellow sheep return to the northern part of the wilderness. They almost all migrate back and forth along the Tuolai River in the wilderness. They go wherever the water and grass are. where.

The place chosen by Roy to establish a prisoner of war concentration camp was located on a bend of the Tuolai River. The Tuolai River turned a corner here, and the snow-capped mountain water from the melted snow peaks flowed southward.

The terrain of this river beach is higher. Even if a flash flood breaks out in the future, this mound will be easily submerged...

The Tuolai River is currently in the dry season, the water level of the river bed appears to be very low, and a large area of ​​the river bed is exposed.

Three thousand argali transporting stones came to the river, and all the stones were unloaded around the mound. Roy planned to build the stone foundation of a wall around the mound first, and now he drew the outline of the concentration camp for the headhunters. Prisoners of war built temporary shelters inside.

After setting these up, he led a group of mixed-blood elves to the edge of the mound, and used ropes to circle a rough outline around the edge of the mound.

The headhunter prisoners of war came here and began to dig a deep trench on the edge of the mound without even building a temporary residence...

Because it was close to the river, the solid soil seemed very moist, and even some water seeped out. Roy jumped into the dug trench to check the water seepage.

The headhunters’ women, children and elderly people also arrived here one after another. They built the simplest cowhide shacks in the camp. At least ten headhunters could be squeezed into one shack...

In just one week, the outline of the outer wall of the prisoner of war concentration camp was built.

Nearly a hundred cowhide shacks were built on the mounds. The elderly and children could stay in the shacks. The headhunter women also had to work here. Their main task was to dig drainage ditches that extended into the Tuolai River.

…

By the time Lysander's pack arrived at the wilderness concentration camp, it was already more than a month later.

This time, Lysander finally transported the three magic furnaces in Padstow City to the plateau. Kaka led a group of gryphon cavalry to hoist these magic furnaces from the foot of the mountain to the south of the plateau.

Then Lei Shande temporarily built a large carriage and transported the three magic furnaces to the Sudarso Mountains.

According to Roy's plan, the two mithril mines in the north and south of the Sudarso Mountains will have to replace magic furnaces. The two replaced magic furnaces and the third large magic furnace will be sent to the black iron mines.

After Lysander finished transporting the magic furnace, he helped Roy transport thousands of steel bars from the North Black Iron Mine to the concentration camp.

Here in the concentration camp, three thousand argali sheep took turns transporting hollow stones. The concentration camp wall had begun to take shape. A round arrow tower appeared every 100 meters. From the outside, it was no longer possible to tell the messy look inside the wall.

Seeing Roy again, Lysander found that Roy was carrying a roll of rope to measure on the construction site.

This construction site is full of hard-working headhunting prisoners of war. They work very hard. There are some cowhide shacks inside the wall. Some old headhunters are sitting in front of the campfire. There is a big iron pot on the fire. The thick soup in the pot is constantly boiling.

There are also some smoked meats hanging in front of some cowhide shacks...

Seeing Lysander walking over, Roy pointed to the fenced mound with some pride and said:

"It won't be long before a plateau city will rise from the ground here!"
