Path of light

Chapter 468 469. Unlucky Miles

Although Cenarius, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, spoke in a somewhat obscure manner, Roy still grasped something from these words.

Roy also wanted to ask the Ancient Tree of Wisdom what the Wheel of Fortune was, and what the pair of wings growing out of his back looked like, but he passed on all these questions, and the Ancient Tree of Wisdom suddenly stopped responding.

It became like an ordinary tree at this time. Roy could not sense the spiritual link released from it, and the surroundings suddenly became silent...

Without the spiritual connection, Roy could not sense the existence of the ancient tree of wisdom.

He took his hand away from the trunk of the ancient tree of wisdom, then took a few steps back and looked up at the towering ancient tree.

It feels like what I just experienced may be my hallucination.

The old Silver Moon Elf who had been standing behind slowly walked behind Roy and said softly:

"Let's go. Lord Cenarius fell asleep again. I don't know when he will wake up next."

Roy was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the ancient war tree could still fall asleep while talking.

"Does this Lord Cenarius always fall into deep sleep?" Roy asked curiously.

The old Silver Moon Elf nodded and said: "Well, it often happens like this, and once you fall asleep, it often takes more than a month to wake up, and sometimes it delays for months, or even years..."

Roy raised his head and took a closer look at this towering ancient tree. The umbrella-shaped crown almost completely covered the top of the mountain...

"I remember when I was young, the Queens of Igweni were the territory of the Elf Kingdom. There were a total of twelve ancient trees of wisdom and one hundred and three ancient trees of war on the island. It has always been the front line of the Elf Kingdom against the Naga Sea Tribe. battlefield."

The old Silver Moon Elf said to Roy.

"Later, as the influence of the Elf Kingdom weakened little by little, and the Elf Continent was split into three kingdoms, its control over the Queen Egweni Islands became worse and worse. The Naga Sea Tribe took the opportunity to take back the Queen Egwene Islands, so here There’s always a war going on.”

"The endless wars on the island have caused many ancient trees of wisdom and ancient trees of war to die."

"Today, only Lord Cenarius himself remains among the twelve ancient trees of wisdom in the Queen Egwene Islands."

"There are only six ancient war trees left on various islands, and two of them are on the main island of the Queen Egwene Islands. Therefore, it is impossible for gray dwarf bandits to capture Queen Egwene Island. They can only occupy the outer islands."

"This is the rear area of ​​the Queen Egwene Islands. We didn't expect that those gray dwarf bandits would dare to touch here..."

The old Silver Moon Elf said a lot to Roy before turning around and walking back through the forest path.

Roy guessed that the reason why Lord Cenarius, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, was willing to meet him was because he made a special trip to thank him.

Those who have a closer relationship with plants should be the group of wood elves.

Roy and the old Silver Moon Elf slowly walked down the mountain along the forest path. When they passed by the path, the forest path behind them slowly disappeared and turned into an overgrown woodland again.

After walking out of the area covered by the ancient tree of wisdom, Roy returned to the Silver Moon Elf Village.

From here, you can just clearly see the harbor pier.

Roy was thinking randomly along the way:

What kind of path should you find so that you can grow while walking!

In this year, Roy has made rapid progress. He just arrived at Pagisto Plateau for a while and was only a fifth-level priest. Now Roy is only one step away from being promoted to a first-level priest.

He has realized the 'potential', and what he needs now is an opportunity to be promoted to a powerful person.

Roy found that only when he purified the dead souls, dark creatures, and demons, he could feel a significant increase in his power.

But in the elven continent, it is difficult to find dead souls, dark creatures and demons...

Then Roy remembered the letter from High Priest Reed. Maybe he could go to the dark place to find dark creatures in order to quickly improve his strength.

…

Roy leads the mixed-blood elf warriors of the guard group to patrol the jungle every day, conduct training on the beach, and lay traps in the dense forest.

After all, we have to watch out for those gray dwarf bandits coming back...

As there were fewer and fewer injured mixed-blood elves in the temporary camp, Roy gradually had more free time.

In the Key West Islands in April, almost all the mixed-blood elf warriors learned to swim and operate flying fish boats.

During this period of time, Roy was never able to take the time to return to Castletown...

After entering May, the situation in the Queen Evening Islands became more serious.

There are battles in the eastern waters of the archipelago almost every day. The Silver Pegasus Legion has invested almost all its troops in it, but the gray dwarf bandits are still devouring the outer islands of the Queen Egwene Islands.

The cloud-piercing crossbows on the gray dwarf bandits' fleet have a strong deterrent effect on the Silver Pegasus knights, and there is not much advantage on the main battlefield.

The rainy season is about to enter, and there are more and more foggy weather on the island.

During this time, another elf army came from other areas and entered the outer islands of the Queen Islands.

…

The sky was overcast, and the cold and wet sea breeze pushed the waves to hit the pier constantly. In this kind of weather, fishing boats could dock at the pier.

Like the sky rendered by ink, it may rain at any time, and the sea is very stormy.

But at this time, a faint mist suddenly appeared on the sea. The mist was not blown away by the sea breeze, but became thicker and thicker.

By the afternoon, the fog had completely enveloped the island.

Roy stood on the dock and couldn't see clearly what was going on at sea.

Under the blow of the sea breeze, the rolling mist quickly wetted his clothes. Roy felt that his whole body was wet, and the tips of his hair were constantly touching the dew.

When the fog obscures everyone's view, the island looks like a claustrophobic space.

Roy had some bad premonitions...

At this time, although the mixed-blood elf warriors in the temporary camp were hiding in tents, all the mixed-blood elf warriors were fully armed.

…

A three-masted sailboat broke through the fog and poked its head out of the sea. A group of gray dwarf bandits jumped off the ship. This time they were obviously more prepared. Some simple rafts appeared on the sea.

The gray dwarf bandits climbed onto the raft from the sea. The gray dwarf bandits sitting on the edge of the raft paddled hard and began to charge towards the dock.

A strong gust of wind blew some of the fog around the pier.

A gray dwarf bandit leader wears a crown on his head, holds a hammer in his hand, and has a dwarf chain shield tied to his other arm. He wears a set of golden full-cover dwarf chain armor and stands at the front. On a raft, he led a group of gray dwarf bandits and rushed towards the dock of the main island of the Key West Islands.

As a gray dwarf bandit leader, Miles the Redbeard owns eleven three-masted sailing ships. This is not the strongest among the gray dwarf pirates, but his fleet is very famous.

On the west coast of the Endless Sea, there are almost no gray dwarf bandits who have not heard of Miles the Redbeard.

This reputation has been accumulated from naval battles. In the past ten years, he has intercepted more than thirty human merchant ships in the waters east of the Queen Ewinnie Islands. Those merchant ships that traveled across the ocean from the Roland Continent only touched Ivan. The edge of the Queen Ni Islands was intercepted by Redbeard Miles...

It is precisely because of the interception of so many merchant ships that Myers' strength has expanded greatly in recent years.

This time he joined the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands, and also wanted to divide several islands in this naval battle...

The gray dwarf bandits actually had no intention of capturing the main island of the Queen Egwene Islands, they just wanted to capture the outlying islands.

However, the Silver Pegasus Legion stationed on the Queen Egwene Islands refused to give up those uninhabited islands. As long as the gray dwarf bandits appeared in the waters near the Queen Egwene Islands, they would be mercilessly attacked by the Silver Pegasus Army. .

In the past ten years, at least twenty pirate gangs have been completely defeated by the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Even Captain Johnny Relf fell into the hands of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

However, there are as many gray dwarf bandits in this sea area as locusts. In order to completely defeat the arrogance of the Silver Pegasus Legion, dozens of pirate groups formed an alliance, hoping to destroy the Silver Pegasus Legion on the Queen Egwene Islands. Press hard on the main island and force them to give up those outer islands. It is best to compromise with these gray dwarf bandits...

For such a goal, Redbeard Miles joined this pirate alliance.

This time he drew lots and got the Key West Islands. When the fleet came to this area, it was considered to have entered the rear of the Queen Egwene Islands...

This time when he came to the Key West Islands, he did not arrange for the fleet to disperse and attack other islands. Instead, he devoted all his forces to the main island of the Key West Islands.

These heavily armored gray dwarf bandits were sitting on rafts, approaching the dock not far ahead.

"After we capture the dock, your team will quickly seize the fishing boats and medium-sized sailing boats on the dock, and use the boats on the dock to transport our soldiers to the dock as quickly as possible." Redbeard Miles assigned tasks to the captains under his command. .

"You combat teams are following me. Don't rush out of the pier. We must capture the pier. Everyone must gather on the pier and then attack the island..."

Miles, the red-bearded man, stared at his copper-bell-sized eyes and said angrily.

"There are elves garrisoned on this island, so we will face a fierce battle later. For our island, we have to fight these elves this time..."

…

While Miles the Redbeard was encouraging the gray dwarf bandits, Roy was also sounding the alarm on the dock.

There are more than a dozen flying fish boats parked on the pier, in addition to three medium-sized sailing boats. The last time the gray dwarf bandits attacked the island, almost all the flying fish boats were destroyed, and even one medium-sized sailing boat was destroyed.

So the alarm bell rang on the pier. Although the sea was covered with heavy fog, the medium-sized sailboat still raised its sails despite the foggy weather...

As the anchor broke away from the sea, the three medium-sized sailboats started to move almost in sequence.

The sailing route of these sailboats was around the edge of the island and did not sail into the thick foggy sea...

The other dozen or so flying fish boats were recently used for training by the mixed-blood elf warriors of the guard group. We didn't want to be destroyed by those gray dwarf bandits anymore. A group of mixed-blood elf warriors quickly rushed to the dock and dragged these flying fish boats ashore.

A group of mixed-blood elf warriors lined up on the dock, all holding longbows.

As soon as some gray dwarf bandits emerged from the mist, the mixed-blood elf warrior shot out the arrow in his hand...

At this moment, a sharp and harsh sound broke through the air on the wharf where the thick fog was surging.

After firing several rounds, it was discovered that the gray dwarf bandits were approaching the dock. A row of gray dwarf bandits held up dwarf chain shields in front of them, blocking these dense arrows for their companions.

…

Red-bearded Miles looked at the dock in front of him, and he jumped from the raft onto the dock.

The two mixed-blood elf warriors were fully drawing the long bows in their hands and shooting two feather arrows at his throat and chest. These two feather arrows almost brought out a white air wave and flew towards the red-bearded Miles. .

Miles raised his shield almost as a reflex.

With two bangs, he blocked the two arrows aimed at him...

But then some more arrows flew in, hitting his full-heavy armor with ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong. Red-bearded Miles clenched the hammer in his hand and rushed towards the mixed-blood elves who were shooting arrows. go.

Those mixed-blood elf warriors didn't even say hello. They turned around and ran outside the dock with long bows on their backs...

The arrows of the elves could not penetrate the heavy armor, and it was foggy now, so the archers could not aim accurately, so several rounds of scattering almost did not hurt the gray dwarf bandits.

…

Roy saw a strong gray dwarf wearing black armor jumping onto the pier. These gray dwarf bandits did not immediately charge against the mixed elf warriors...

At this time, the mixed-blood elf archers had withdrawn from the dock in an orderly manner.

Roy held the chain of the Book of Judgment, waved his hand behind him and said: "The battle team begins to prepare..."

A group of mixed-blood elf warriors emerged from behind Roy and formed a square formation.

The sharp spear points exposed in the phalanx were aimed at the gray dwarf bandits rushing over from the dock.

When Roy saw the red-bearded Miles, he was immediately attracted by his big beard that turned into pigtails. And on his head was not a horned helmet, but a metal crown. Roy knew that he must be a bitch. The leader of the gray dwarves.

Roy went up to him holding the Book of Judgment. The mixed-blood elf warrior behind him was worried that Roy would get lost, so he immediately followed him from behind...

A divine pattern appeared under Roy's feet, and then a beam of light appeared in the fog.

This beam of light immediately attracted red-bearded Miles...

…

Miles looked towards Roy...

He was slightly startled when he saw a human priest standing on the dock with a copper-covered book in his hand, followed by a group of mixed-blood elf warriors.

At this moment, the human priest was shrouded in a beam of light, and then he saw the copper book suddenly opened, and a small hammer filled with holy light flew out of the book, and then disappeared in an instant. When red-bearded Miles saw the small silver hammer, the hammer had already hit his heart.

A hole as big as an egg was broken in his dwarf chain mail, half of the silver hammer was inserted into the hole, and the tip of the hammer was inserted deeply into his heart...
