Path of light

Chapter 459 460. Recruitment Order

A group of argali carried heavy stones and came continuously from the side of the Gasai Mountains. They walked silently on the winding path at the foot of the mountain, following a mixed-blood elf every few hundred meters.

Standing on the mound, you can clearly see the pack team stretching for dozens of kilometers, which looks very spectacular.

Lysander looked speechlessly at the trench in front of him for a long time to build the stone foundation of the city wall.

This trench has surrounded the entire mound.

He visually estimated that the trench might be several kilometers long, which meant that Roy was planning to build a prisoner-of-war concentration camp on the banks of the Tuolai River with walls alone that would be several kilometers long...

"Roy, are you sure you're building a prisoner of war camp here?"

Lysander was a little confused as to what Roy was planning to do by spending a lot of manpower and material resources here.

Roy, Lysander, and Kaka stood side by side on the highest point of the mound. Looking down, the entire wall could be seen at a glance...

In fact, Roy did not plan to build such a large city at first, but when the stone from the black iron mines was continuously transported here, Roy found that he needed to build another embankment along the Tuolai River to prevent the river from rising during the rainy season. The low-lying areas of this prisoner of war camp were flooded…

So a dike extending along the Tolai River became the first building to be built.

The Tuolai River makes a big bend here and flows straight south, and this mound is surrounded by the Tuolai River, resembling a small peninsula.

When the Headhunter prisoners of war were forced to carry tools and dig foundation trenches along the mound, Roy found that it would be better to continue extending the dike and completely surround the mound...

The Headhunter prisoners of war were digging foundation trenches every day. As for the bricklayers who built the wall, Roy transferred a group of gray dwarf craftsmen from the Northern Black Iron Mine. Since the city wall was built with square hollow bricks, the city wall was built very quickly. quick.

The city walls in front of us have begun to take shape.

Roy smiled, pointed to the area in the corner of the northern slope of the hill and said:

"Actually, the prisoner of war concentration camp is just an area in that corner. I plan to build some row houses there first. I can't live in those simple cowhide tents all the time."

The ground over there has been leveled by the headhunter prisoners of war, and the rough outlines of various buildings have even been drawn on the flat ground with light gray stone powder.

Roy pulled Lysander a few steps forward, pointed to the west side of the sunny slope of the mound and said:

"I plan to build a market here. Those caravans entering the plateau from Padstow City should preferably come to the market here to trade."

"A barracks will be built here on the west side, close to the prisoner of war concentration camp. A row of warehouses will be built there to store various materials shipped back from the northern plateau. Some commercial streets will be developed in the area surrounding the market. Those places will slowly become the living areas of mixed-blood elves.”

"In the near future, this place will become a town of mixed elves. I think that only by building houses first can we attract the mixed elves."

"Headhunter prisoners of war will also be centrally managed here. The old, young, sick and disabled will stay here to live, while the adult headhunters will be sent to various mines to mine..."

Roy took Lysander and Kaka back to the outside of the tent where he lived. He built a pergola here where he often sat to revise the plans.

Lysander looked at the messy parchments on the table. Some of the parchments were very messy, but he could find some familiar places in these complicated lines.

"So you actually have such a plan!" When Lysander said this, he couldn't tell whether he was feeling emotional or shocked, maybe both.

Roy asked Lysander to sit down, looked at the chaotic construction site at his feet, and said to Lysander:

"We need a lot of living materials here. You alone can't transport all the materials to the plateau, so we have to attract caravans and leave part of the profits to these merchants. Only materials and currency will start to circulate. If you get up, this place will develop quickly.”

"As long as we transport these minerals from the plateau, we will continue to receive financial support, and this place will get better and better."

Lysander asked hesitantly: "Are you going to let the mixed elves settle here?"

"Of course, if they are willing!" Roy paused, and then said: "I guess there will be people who are willing to live here. This is located in the center of the hinterland of Pajisto Plateau, next to the wilderness, and to the south is Sudarso. The mountain range, to the north is the Kasai Mountains, with a unique geographical location. If I have the chance, I have also thought about continuing to explore to the north..."

A mixed-blood elf came to find Lysander. There were some situations on the pack team that he needed to deal with.

Lysander hurried away with the half-blood elf.

Kaka, who had been silent until now, said to Roy:

"Roy, now that the situation on the Pagisto Plateau has stabilized, have you ever thought about... going to Sun Island Bay to take a look. The mixed elves living there often have to fight with the murlocs on the beach. We have always wanted to We drove the group of murlocs out of Sun Island Bay, but there were more and more of them. Their ability to reproduce was really strong, and they were all good swimmers, so every time we went fishing in the bay It’s a huge risk…”

In fact, the Tiprado village chief also mentioned these words to Roy, but the situation on the Pagisto Plateau had not yet stabilized.

At that time, Roy asked the head of Tiprado Village to wait and deal with the headhunters on the plateau first, and then deal with the fish people in Sun Island Bay.

Now that Kaka has mentioned this matter again, it is obvious that the elf warriors of the Griffin Group are a little homesick.

Roy thought carefully and said:

"Okay, after I finish the things in the prisoner of war concentration camp, I mean building their camp and arranging some manpower to manage it. After everything is on track, we will go to Sun Island Bay to have a look. Actually... With your current strength, it shouldn’t be too difficult to defeat those fishmen, right?”

"Well, as long as the gryphon group returns to Sun Island Bay, we will have full confidence in driving away those fishmen." Kaka said with confidence.

At present, Roy has equipped the Griffin Regiment with sophisticated standard military equipment, and its strength has already far exceeded that of the murlocs in Sun Island Bay.

It's just that if the Griffin group wants to return to Sun Island Bay, they need Roy's nod of approval.

And Kaka also wanted to take Roy with him to the seaside of the Partington plane.

…

At the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters in Padstow City, Captain Helix left the commander's office with a dark face.

He had just been scolded severely by Chief Lucius, and he was in an extremely bad mood. Even when he was walking, he kept staring at his boots.

President Lucius sat back on the soft sofa with a tired look on his face and kept rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers.

This time the Silver Pegasus Legion failed to recruit the Padstow City Guard Group. Captain Helix failed to form a new mixed-blood elf guard group as scheduled, so the current guard group composed of Silver Moon Elf warriors cannot support it at all. Battlefield of the Queen Egwene Islands.

Padstow, a city with hundreds of thousands of mixed-blood elves living in it, couldn't even form a mixed-blood elven guard army.

Whenever Lucius thinks about this, he can't help but cover his face with his hands.

Hercules even went to Barrier Town to recruit the mixed-blood elf guard army. The recruitment information was posted on the notice board. Immediately, a young mixed-blood elf asked him, 'Sir, what about the mixed-blood elf guard army you recruited here? do you have any requests? ’

As a Silver Moon Elf with a strong sense of superiority, Hercules has never looked down upon these mixed-blood elves. When asked by the young mixed-blood elves, Hercules raised his chin and said loudly to all the mixed-blood elves, "Everything with the rebels" Mixed-blood elves who have had contact will not be able to join the guard group'.

It was this sentence that made his trip to Barrier Town come back in vain...

It took Captain Hercules nearly a month to recruit more than 800 mixed-blood elf warriors, which was far from forming a mixed-blood elf guard group.

The Queen Evine Islands had been unable to wait for support from Padstow City for a long time. The top brass of the Legion sent an urgent notice. After waiting for another two weeks, they still did not receive the volunteer group from Padstow City. They would send it later. A letter of accountability.

The letter asked Commander Lucius why the Padstow City Guards had been unable to arrive at the Queen Egwene Islands.

Chief Lucius knows that this year’s job evaluation will probably be impossible to get an A...

Although Padstow City is in a mess, the overall situation in the Partington plane is very good.

The main results are basically on the Pajisto Plateau.

Since the mines on the plateau continue to transport back some spinel ore and mithril ingots, this makes the economic situation of the Silver Pegasus Legion in continuous battles very stable, and armaments and resources are continuously transported to the frontline battlefields, so that Queen Igweni can A dozen large islands in the central area of ​​the archipelago stabilize the war situation...

However, the interest groups in the Partington plane are in a state of complete separation. The relationship between the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padstow City and the owner of Roy Mine is not close, and there is even some resentment between the two parties.

Now the Padstow City Guard Corps can only give up the recruitment and stay here in Padstow City.

But Roy formed a mixed-blood elf mine guard team with more than 10,000 elf warriors on the Pagisto Plateau, which was equivalent to eating the biggest piece of cake in the Partington plane.

As the Archon of Barrier Town and the mine owner of Pagisto Plateau, Roy is currently considered the most powerful officer on the Partington plane.

The two letters were placed side by side on Chief Lucius's desk.

A letter was written to report that the owner of Roy's mine had killed Abiel, a descendant of the Silver Moon Elf nobles, in the Partington plane.

The other letter was the second recruitment order sent by the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Moreover, this letter was requested to be sent to the owner of Roy's mine. Although General Lucius did not open the letter, he could guess that this letter must be to recruit Roy to lead the mine guard team to the Queen Egwene Islands. of the battlefield.

Chief Lucius had already made annotations on the first report letter and was about to submit it to Earl Swinburne. Now he frowned and thought for a long time, and decided to put the report letter back in the drawer for the time being.

Then he knocked the bell on the table with a small silver hammer, and his assistant, Miss Anna, opened the door and walked in from outside.

"Anna, go to the mailroom and ask them to deliver this letter." Chief Lucius picked up the recruitment order, handed it to the swaying Miss Anna, and said with a serious face.

"Okay, Chief."

When Miss Anna saw that Chief Lucius seemed a little unhappy, she was worried that she would be implicated as well. She quickly reached out to take the letter and left the Chief's office.

…

At the end of April, the Pagisto Plateau is about to usher in the rainy season. The main body of the river embankment in the plateau city has already been built. Now we are waiting for the arrival of the rainy season to see whether the rising river water will affect this wall.

In fact, Roy added several auxiliary supporting walls to the inside of the wall, and built several sections of stone embankments extending into the river. These stone embankments can reduce the speed of the river water and ensure that the city wall will not collapse under flood erosion. Lose……

In addition, the construction of the headhunter's prisoner-of-war concentration camp was also completed.

During this period, Captain Herrick escorted headhunter prisoners to the prisoner of war concentration camp three times. A total of almost 5,000 headhunters were sent over.

Almost all of these headhunters were placed in various mines. Roy left less than two thousand headhunters as prisoners of war in the plateau city. In addition, nearly four thousand headhunters, old, young, sick and disabled, also lived in the concentration camp.

This group of headhunters also consumes a huge amount of materials.

Headhunters, unlike elves, eat meat.

Just to eat the food in my stomach every day, I need to hunt five one-horned bison in the wilderness...

The wilderness is a vast pasture, and large herds of bison live in the wilderness. In the past, this was the natural dining hall for headhunters.

The caravans that Lysander brought to the plateau have now arrived at Padstow Plateau for the second time. They transported some supplies from Padstow City, mainly twine, saltpeter, sea salt, and dried fish. category goods.

In order to ensure that these businessmen will continue to do so, the purchase prices given by Roy have sufficient profit margins.

It was these caravans that brought some vitality to this place. Many mixed-blood elves also gathered from all directions after hearing that they could find work in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp on the banks of the Tuolai River.

Now there are not only more than 6,000 headhunters in the prisoner of war concentration camp, but also thousands of mixed elves gathered here.

Although the outer wall has just been built here, it also forms a small market.

Some mixed elves will bring magic herbs and magical beast materials to the market to sell. If the price is right, merchants will buy these goods and transport them back to Padstow City for sale.

The war in the northern part of the plateau is not over yet, and Mu Lin can only stare at the north camp of Tianpu Canyon.

The Griffin Group also failed to find a chance to return to Sun Island Bay to clean up those fishmen...

At this time, Roy received a recruitment order from the Silver Pegasus military headquarters. The military order specified that he should take five thousand mixed-blood elf warriors to the Queen Egwene Islands to participate in the battle.
