Path of light

Chapter 462 463. Encounter

Earl Swinburne pointed to the Key West Islands in the pool and told Roy:

"This is the back of the Queen Egwene Islands. There are some Silver Moon elves living on the island. When you go to the island, your main responsibility is to maintain local security, clean up the gray dwarves on the island, and do not conflict with the Silver Moon elves on the island."

"Berkeley will be responsible for the logistical supplies. This time I will equip the mixed-blood elf combat group you brought here with the legion's light cavalry, and the mine guards will be upgraded to the Pagisto Plateau Local Guard Group."

As he spoke, Earl Swinburne took out a regimental badge from a wooden box and put it on Roy's chest.

This means that Roy is officially promoted to the leader of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Earl Swinburne patted Roy on the shoulder and said: "This time the gray dwarf bandits are coming fiercely. Their fleet will always land on the island at night. You should be more careful on the Key West Islands."

"As you command, Lord Swinburne!"

Roy gave a military salute to Earl Swinburne and said.

Roy walked out of the combat command room, only to find that there was a group of officers outside waiting to see Earl Swinburne. These officers were all Silver Moon elves, but when they saw Roy walking out of the combat command room, they did not show any surprise or questioning expressions. Come.

The Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters on Queen Egwene Island seems extremely busy, and you can always see some secretaries running with documents in the corridors.

After meeting Earl Swinburne, Roy planned to return to the dock and take a boat to the Key West Islands.

As I walked down the wooden stairs, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind:

"Roy, why are you here?"

Roy stopped and turned around to see Miss Christine wearing a set of light green vine armor, standing on the stairway with an elf war bow behind her, leaning down to look down, a pair of beautiful There was a faint smile in her big eyes, and the way she pursed her lips was very playful.

A beam of light came in from the glass window behind her, passing through the side of her face. Her pointed ears were reflected crystal clear, and the very thin blood vessels on them were clearly visible.

"Miss Christine, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Roy was a little surprised to see Miss Christine here.

When he left Castleton City last year, he also heard that Miss Christine was preparing to travel on the Elf Continent.

Miss Christine glanced at the clerks peeking in next to the stairs, walked straight to Roy, pointed to a terrace at the end of the corridor, and said, "Come on, let's go sit there..."

Roy followed Miss Christine to the terrace on this floor. There were several tables on the terrace. Around these tables, there were some chairs scattered around. Several Silver Moon Elf officers were sitting there. Chat together.

When they saw Miss Christine coming to the terrace, followed by a half-elf, they all stood up and gave up the terrace.

Miss Christine held her hands on the balcony railing and looked at the street opposite.

She said to Roy: "Aren't you managing the mine on the Pagisto Plateau? Why did you suddenly end up on Queen Egwene Island?"

"Earl Swinburne sent a recruitment order, so I came here with five thousand mixed elves. But you, didn't you say you were going to travel around the Elf Continent? Why did you come to Queen Egwene Island?" Roy found a chair and sat down comfortably.

Miss Christine pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I have already arrived in Buenos City. I heard that a war broke out on Queen Igweni Island, so I decided to come back!"

"We and the Naga Sea Tribe have fought countless times because of these islands. This time there are so many gray dwarf bandits participating in the fight for the islands. Of course I have to come back to help..."

Miss Christine was sitting on the railing, and a breeze blew through the woods, causing her long silver hair to fly in the wind...

"So you have joined the Silver Pegasus Legion?" Roy asked.

"I am now the Christine Knight of the Fifth Silver Pegasus Fighting Group!" Miss Christine said very proudly.

Roy didn't expect that Miss Christine had become a Silver Pegasus knight.

Hearing what she said, Roy looked at Miss Christine with envy. Miss Christine asked curiously:

"Roy, have you received the mission to garrison the outlying islands?"

Roy nodded and said, "Got it."

"Where?" Miss Christine asked curiously.

Roy answered truthfully: "Over there in Key West..."

Miss Christine actually took out a finely crafted chart from her magic pocket. When she looked at the Key West Islands, she said to Roy: "That's the island closest to the Elven Continent among the entire Queen Egwene Islands. Are there actually guard troops stationed now?”

"Well, it is said that traces of gray dwarf bandits were found.".

Miss Christine originally wanted to say something, but she heard an elf calling her name in the corridor below the terrace:

"Christine, we need to go!"

Miss Christine responded quickly, turned to Roy and said, "My companion called me. I have to go out on patrol. If I have a chance, I will go to the Key West Islands to see you!"

"Okay!" Roy waved goodbye to Miss Christine.

Miss Christine twisted her body and jumped from the balcony railing into the garden on the first floor...

By the time Roy reached the balcony railing, Miss Christine had disappeared into the corridor.

…

When they walked out of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters, they saw Captain Berkeley waiting in front of the carriage that Roy came in, waving vigorously to Roy.

Roy ran over and hugged Captain Berkeley. Captain Berkeley pulled Roy into the carriage and said to Roy, "Let's talk while walking!"

The carriage turned around and headed straight towards the port terminal.

In the carriage, Captain Berkeley sat opposite Roy and said to Roy: "This time, the Earl asked me to go to the dock warehouse to collect five thousand sets of metal light armor and hand them over to you. You go with me to collect this batch of armaments. "

Roy nodded.

"I still need to send the replaced armaments back to the port warehouse..." Captain Berkeley continued: "Oh, by the way, have the thousand gray dwarf prisoners of war arrived at Pagisto Plateau?"

Roy said: "I established a blacksmith workshop in the Northern Black Iron Mine. Now almost all the gray dwarf prisoners of war are working in the blacksmith workshop."

"I saw your latest material request form. Those materials can be shipped to the Partington plane within a week." Captain Berkeley added.

"Now that the situation on the Pagisto Plateau is relatively stable, I plan to build a prisoner-of-war camp on the edge of the wilderness to detain plateau headhunters!" Roy said to Captain Berkeley.

Roy lowered his voice and asked Captain Berkeley: "The Silver Pegasus Legion is one of the most powerful legions in the Elf Continent. Why did it take so long to fight the gray dwarf bandits this time?"

There was a noise from the busy market outside the window, and Captain Berkeley said to Roy:

"These gray dwarf bandits are very cunning. Their main fleet has been staying in the waters of the Queen Egwene Islands for more than half a year. Up to now, the two sides have only had small-scale tentative battles. Since the fleet is equipped with dwarf heavy crossbows, the Silver Pegasus Knight We can't get close to those warships, so we can only guard Queen's Island."

"In addition, every time the gray dwarf bandits plan to seize the island, it is almost always at night, and there is heavy fog on the sea. The Silver Pegasus knights cannot fight the gray dwarf bandits in the foggy night. The gray dwarf bandits always take the opportunity to capture Evanni. The islands around the Queen’s Islands, and the Silver Pegasus Legion cannot all leave Queen’s Island at this time.”

"When the elven warriors clear out the gray dwarf bandits who have sneaked into the island, these gray dwarf bandits will secretly hide in caves or underground caves on the island."

"We have been here like this for more than half a year, so this time Earl Swinburne made up his mind and mobilized a group of guards to prepare to garrison on these islands."

After hearing Captain Berkeley's introduction, Roy had a certain understanding of the war situation here.

The battle situation here is a bit chaotic. Several main islands in the Queen Egwene Islands are occupied by the Silver Pegasus Legion, but these Silver Pegasus knights cannot take care of the Silver Pegasus in the peripheral areas.

A large number of gray dwarf bandits have infiltrated into the Queen Egwene Islands, and they are obviously determined to fight against the Silver Moon Elf warriors to the end.

The carriage arrived at the port pier, where there were Silver Moon Elf warriors everywhere. Some Silver Moon Elf warriors were sitting in the shade on the roadside chatting.

"We suspect that the Naga Sea Tribe of the Endless Sea and the gray dwarves are colluding with each other and want to occupy the waters near the Queen Egwene Islands." Captain Berkeley said in a low voice.

In front of the port warehouse, Captain Berkeley showed a list of supplies to the warehouse manager, and then entered the warehouse to check the light cavalry armors inside. These silver light cavalry armors are the standard armors equipped by the Silver Pegasus Legion for the cavalry. These brand-new armors are Glowing with silvery luster.

Captain Berkeley led a group of logistics personnel to move the light cavalry armor in the warehouse to Roy's ship.

The dress-up activity continued until the evening, and then some food was loaded onto these sailboats before Captain Berkeley left the port dock with a group of his men.

…

Facing the setting sun, the fleet set sail and left the harbor pier.

These mixed-blood elf warriors on the ship are still in a state of excitement.

None of the mixed-blood elf warriors expected that after arriving at the Queen Egwene Islands, although they were unable to disembark and stroll around the bustling island, they would receive a suit of high-grade light cavalry armor.

Fortunately, this time it was not in vain...

The fleet sailed with the wind for most of the night before arriving at the Key West Islands on the westernmost side of the Queen Evenee Islands.

Since it was night, no one could see clearly the docked island.

And they didn't get off the boat. All the mixed elves spent the night on the sailboat.

On the next morning, a red sun jumped up from the sea level, and the entire island appeared clearly in front of everyone. Roy found that the fleet had brought everyone to an island they passed by when they arrived.

Standing on the deck at that time, Roy could only see the vague appearance of the pirates.

Now the fleet has docked at the small pier on the island. This medium-sized sailboat has a small draft and can completely dock at this small pier.

This coral reef island, which is completely covered by jungle, is surrounded by a circle of white sandy beaches. The entire island is in the shape of a pea, and the dock is built on the navel of the pea. This is a dock built of logs, which is very simple.

The island is not very big, probably no more than one kilometer in length.

Roy brought over five thousand mixed-blood elf warriors. Such a small island could not accommodate so many mixed-blood elf warriors. It was impossible for all twenty sailboats to dock at the island pier.

This is one of the islands in the Key West Islands, so Roy only arranged for one ship of mixed-blood elf warriors to be stationed on this island.

The remaining ships need to travel to other surrounding islands.

Lord Swinburne said there were still some silver moon elves living in Key West.

So far, Roy has not discovered any elves living on the island.

Roy walked out from the pier, pointed to the thirty-meter-high coconut tree next to the dense forest, and said to the mixed-blood elf warrior who came down behind him:

"You build a sentry here. Although this island is not very big, it is the gateway to the Key West Islands. When the gray dwarf bandit fleet enters the waters of the Key West Islands, they will be discovered here first."

"Don't rush to set up a tent later, search around the island to see if there are any traces left by the gray dwarf bandits..."

The jungle on the island is full of weeds and vines. If you want to enter the jungle, you need to use a hatchet to open the way.

Roy did not stay on the island. He reboarded the ship at the island pier and the fleet sailed towards the interior of the Key West Islands. An hour later, three closely connected islands suddenly appeared in Roy's sight.

It is said that the three islands are connected together because when the tide is low, the exposed beaches connect the three islands together.

But once the tide rises, the three islands are immediately separated by the sea.

Roy stood on the deck. There were some treehouses built in the woods on these three islands. Apparently there were some elves living there.

Seeing a fleet of ships moored in the sea, a group of Silver Moon elves came out of the jungle. Everyone stood on the dock and looked at these sailing ships curiously.

Roy asked the captain to dock the sailboat at the dock. He nimbly crossed the side of the ship, jumped directly onto the dock, and slowly walked towards the group of Silver Moon elves.

At this time, an old elf on the dock holding a cane looked up at Roy:

"Where are you from?"

He looked very old, but his whole body seemed to be full of strength, and his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to pierce the soul.

Roy hurriedly said: "We came from the main island of Queen Egwene Island. Under the order of Earl Swinburne, we will be stationed on this island in the future to prevent the gray dwarves from sneak attacks on the island."

"This is really good news. Are you a half-elf?"

The old elf walked up and asked, and then looked at a group of mixed elf warriors following Roy.

"Have there been any traces of gray dwarves on the island so far?" Roy asked the old elf.

The old elf shook his head slightly and said to Roy: "No trace of the gray dwarf bandits has been found yet..."
