Chapter 461 462. Island City

A group of huge sea beasts appeared from the left side of the fleet and rode the waves side by side with the Silver Moon Elf fleet.

The mixed-blood elf warriors lay curiously on the edge of the ship's side, watching the wonders in the sea...

Those sea beasts can swim much faster than a sailboat, and each sea beast is bigger than an orca.

Roy stood on the control panel behind the sailboat, exchanging navigation and helming techniques with the captain.

He also has a ship in the port of Castletown City and wants to move that ship. These navigation skills are particularly important to Roy.

Although this is a medium-sized sailing ship, it is the most common shuttle-shaped sailing ship among the Silver Moon elves.

Although this ship was much smaller than the Black Pearl, Roy studied extremely seriously. The Silver Moon Elf captain saw that Roy was so eager to learn and explained in detail how to control the steering wheel.

At this time, there was a cry of exclamation from the mixed-blood elves on the deck. As more sailors rushed to the deck in panic, the captain noticed the sea beasts appearing on the right side of the ship. When he first saw those sea beasts, the captain was still Didn't react.

When he saw the group of sea beasts clearly, his face instantly turned pale, and he immediately pulled the big bell on the ship.

'Dangdangdang...'

The bell rang quickly, and the captain hurriedly shouted to Roy:

"Stop standing here stupidly, and hide in the cabin quickly. The one who can scare these crows into this state must be a giant beast of the deep sea..."

Before the captain could finish speaking, a dull buzzing sound rushed up from the bottom of the sea. That kind of sound could repeatedly resonate with the ship's hull. Roy felt that his whole body was being attacked by this low sound wave, and his heart beat violently...

The captain pointed to the cabin door and urged Roy again: "Hide in quickly..."

Roy immediately rushed to the deck and shouted to the mixed-blood elves who were admiring the spectacle of sea beasts on the deck: "Everyone, hurry back to the cabin."

Roy's words are still very useful.

No matter how reluctant the mixed elf warriors were, no one dared to openly raise objections.

Everyone returned to the cabin one after another...

The sailors stood on the deck as if facing an enemy, and Roy walked into the cabin.

His cabin is located next to the captain's cabin. It is one of the best rooms on the entire ship. There are windows in the room that can see the sea.

Just when he walked back to the room, he saw a huge wave suddenly rising on the calm sea. This huge wave rushed nearly a hundred meters into the sky, and there was a giant sea beast in the clear water.

It carried a large amount of sea water and rushed into the sky. When the body emerged from the sea water, it was accompanied by an explosion sound.

A huge body suddenly jumped out of the sea...

The sea beast was actually two hundred meters long. Its skin was mottled with barnacles and seaweed. The front half of its body clearly looked like a shark, but its tail was covered with countless tentacles like a giant squid. Its body was moving in the air. After passing a beautiful parabola, when it hit the sea, water splashed hundreds of meters high, followed by huge waves.

The sea beast opened its huge mouth and bit a black sheath sea beast, and its body was smashed into the sea like a cannonball.

And the huge waves it created rushed towards the fleet, causing the mixed-blood elves in the cabin to scream in fear.

Huge waves crashed onto the sailboats, causing them to tilt sharply to one side on the sea.

The captain, who was holding the steering wheel tightly, shouted to the sailors: "Hurry up and lower the sails, lower the sails..."

And the captain's hands were not idle either. He quickly turned the steering wheel to death and let the sailboat face the huge waves...

The sailors on the ship were obviously very experienced. There was a rope tied around the sailor's waist to the railing of the ship's side. No matter how the sailboat rose and fell under the pounding of huge waves, the sailors would not be thrown out of the ship.

They lowered the sail against the wind and waves, and the ship quickly adjusted itself and was pushed forward by the waves...

This giant beast from the deep sea had no intention of attacking the fleet. It just rushed out and ate a black sheath beast before returning to the deep sea.

It just passed by the fleet, causing the sailboats in the fleet to almost capsize...

When everything calmed down, Roy returned to the control console.

At this time, the captain took off his wet clothes and changed into dry clothes in front of the console. He wiped his wet hair with a towel and said to Roy:

"These are Morado beasts. They are quite docile and never attack passing ships. However, their bodies are huge. Even if they set off huge waves on the sea, they are not something that sailboats like ours can contend with."

"Are sea beasts often seen in this sea area?" Roy asked curiously.

"That's not true..." the captain replied.

…

When the sea calmed down again, the fleet filled up its sails again and sailed towards the main island of the Queen Egwene Islands.

Roy looked at the two coral reef islands in the distance, and the captain introduced to Roy: "Those islands are some coral reef islands. This is on the edge of the Queen Evenni Islands, more than half a day away from the main island. distance."

"We need to be careful when we get here. Gray Dwarf bandit ships often appear in this area. Their ships are larger and stronger than our ships. They also like to run rampant in the sea..."

The captain kept complaining about those gray dwarf bandits, and Roy stood aside and listened quietly.

Although the two coral reef islands were not much bigger than oranges in his eyes, not to mention the gray dwarves on the islands, even the trees on the islands only looked a vague dark green...

He had an intuition that there must be gray dwarf bandits hiding on the island.

Entering this sea area, the fleet sailed cautiously, and almost every ship had a lookout post on the mainmast observation deck...

However, the captain did not worry for too long, because there were patrolling Silver Pegasus knights in the sky. Although there was only one Silver Pegasus team, Roy could see that the captain breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then looked up to the sky. transmit signal.

Two Silver Pegasus knights fell from the sky and landed on the deck riding Silver Pegasus. The captain asked the first mate to control the rudder, while he quickly ran to greet the two Silver Pegasus knights on the deck.

When the Silver Pegasus knight saw the captain and Roy walking together, he asked them some questions. After Roy and the captain answered, they asked Roy to show his identity plate. Then the Silver Pegasus warrior said:

"Just follow me down below. I'll show you the way in the sky. Try to avoid the warships of the Gray Dwarf bandits as much as possible!"

Roy felt that the last sentence of the Silver Pegasus knight was quite pleasing to the ear.

With the Silver Pegasus knight guiding the way in the sky, the captain was not so cautious. He immediately ordered the sailors to raise all the sails and let the sailboat move forward at full speed...

…

The Queen of Evening Islands has a large coral reef group, and even where there are no islands, the water is not too deep.

Under the sunlight, Roy could clearly see the large coral reefs on the seabed...

As the fleet gets closer and closer to the main island, the main island of the Queen Egwene Islands becomes bigger and bigger in Roy's eyes. This main island has a mountain peak, and halfway up the mountain, there is a tree of life. The tree stands out among the trees.

The shape of Queen Evening Island looks like a crown from the map, and the peak can be regarded as the jewel in the crown.

There is a bay on Queen Egwene Island that can be sheltered from the storm. The Silver Moon Elves built a harbor dock here, and now there are dozens of sailboats parked in the harbor.

Many Silver Pegasus knights can be seen coming in and out of the sky...

You can see elves building gardens, fountains, tree houses, etc. on the island. Obviously there should be a small city on this island.

Wherever there is the Tree of Life, the elves will basically build cities...

When the sailing ship entered the main island, many elves gathered on the port pier, almost all Silver Moon elves.

Roy and a group of mixed-blood elves stood on the deck of the sailboat, looking at the bustling port pier, and kept waving to the elves on the pier.

Later, the adjutant beside Earl Swinburne boarded the ship, and when he saw Roy, he said:

"Roy, Earl Swinburne wants to see you. You come with me. Please wait for the mixed elf warriors on the ship. You may go to the Key West Islands to guard several islands there, so in order to avoid the lack of personnel when gathering, Qi, soldiers, it’s best not to disembark!”

He exudes the noble temperament of a Silver Moon Elf nobleman, and is barely polite when speaking to Roy.

He didn't even take a second glance at the other elves on the ship, even the ordinary Silver Moon Elf sailors and captains...

Roy nodded, adjusted the magic pattern structure on his body, and followed the Silver Moon Elf adjutant off the boat.

There were many Silver Moon Elf warriors gathered on the dock, and there were noisy sounds everywhere. There were elves getting on the boat, elves getting off the boat, and elves carrying supplies. The scene was very lively, even a little chaotic.

Sure enough, there is a small town on Queen Egwene Island, with tree houses built everywhere. The Tree of Life is also very big, and the huge umbrella-shaped canopy can cover at least a kilometer in radius.

The Silver Moon Elf adjutant took Roy out of the dock, and he took Roy onto a carriage parked on the side of the road.

The gorgeous carriage drove along a smooth road towards the small town.

There are many shops on the lively streets, and many exquisite products are displayed in these shops.

Silver Moon Elf warriors can be seen everywhere, as well as some Silver Moon Elf adventure groups and mercenary teams.

The headquarters of the Silver Pegasus Legion was built next to the Tree of Life. The carriage stopped in front of this exquisite building. The Silver Moon Elf adjutant immediately got out of the car and strode in with Roy.

The adjutant took Roy to a combat command room. In the center of the room was a huge square pool. Inside the pool was a miniature of the entire Queen Evanid Islands, and even other small islands around it were clearly displayed.

This square pool even clearly describes the submarine topography of the surrounding sea area...

A group of Silver Moon Elf staff officers were carefully discussing tactical issues around the pool, and Earl Swinburne was surrounded in the middle.

When he saw the adjutant walking in with Roy, he separated from a group of staff officers and faced Roy:

"I never thought we would meet on the Queen Egwene Islands..."

Earl Swinburne patted Roy on the shoulder, took him to the pool, pointed to a miniature island in the pool, and said to Roy:

"This is our Queen Evenee Islands, almost all the islands are displayed..."

"It has been almost ten months since we left the Partington plane. During this time, the Silver Pegasus Legion has been dealing with these gray dwarf bandits on the Queen Egwene Islands. I thought we would soon drive these gray dwarves out of the islands. But the current situation is that although the gray dwarf bandits dare not approach the main island, their presence is almost all over the outer islands. It is obvious that they want to take root on these islands..."

"This is unacceptable to us," continued Lord Swinburne.

"Speaking of it, Queen Evening Island is like the biggest springboard for us to enter the endless sea. It has a natural shelter that is most suitable for berthing boats. At the same time, the island is rich in products. It is impossible for us to give up here."

"So we can only find a way to drive away these gray dwarves..."

"The problem is... if we and the gray dwarf bandits start a battle for each island, the existing military strength of the legion will be seriously insufficient. Originally, I wanted to transfer the guards of Padstow City back to supplement the shortage of manpower here. question."

"But that guy Lucius couldn't handle this matter. I can only ask you to bring the mine guards here..."

"The dock is a bit chaotic. Support troops just arrived at Queen's Island today. Currently, the dock cannot accommodate any more elf warriors, so we have to ask your elf warriors to stay on the ship temporarily."

Lord Swinburne told why.

"Lord Earl, where do you need my guards to be stationed?" Roy's eyes fell on the many islands in the pool.

Earl Swinburne picked up a baton and pointed to a reef island closer to Parram Island and said: "Key West Islands!"

This reef island is very small, and there are more than a dozen scattered islands.

"Recently, the Silver Pegasus cavalry discovered traces of gray dwarf bandits on this island. You were there to clean up the gray dwarf bandits that had sneaked into the island. When you encounter a large number of gray dwarf bandits, you can release flares and wait for the Silver Pegasus Legion to attack. support……"

Earl Swinburne introduced to Roy.

Roy asked: "Okay, when will we set off?"

"The sooner the better..." said Lord Swinburne.

Then he asked: "I heard that your mine guards drove the headhunters on the Pajisto Plateau back to the land of the Gazan ancestors?"

Roy shook his head and answered truthfully:

"I just recovered all the mines on the plateau. There were other people who drove the headhunters back to the land of the ancestors of Gazan. They were some mixed-blood elves who were oppressed on the plateau, and some left from the barrier town. The mixed-blood elves formed a battle group and fought off the headhunters from the plateau. When I came down from the plateau, I heard that they wanted to occupy the land of the ancestors of Gazan as their stronghold..."

Earl Swinburne was not surprised at all, he obviously knew some of the inside story.

"If you leave Pagisto Plateau now, will the situation there be affected?" Earl Swinburne asked again.

"There won't be any problems in a short time..."

Roy said.
