Chapter 478 479. Reinforcements from the Silver Moon Elves

Time came to June in a blink of an eye, as the gray dwarf bandits and the Kraken Legion formed a maritime coalition and plundered the islands on the edge of the Queen Egwene Islands.

The Silver Moon Elf warriors on the outlying islands suffered repeated losses. Earl Swinburne could only order the shrinking of the front line and gather the Silver Moon Elf guards on the outlying islands to garrison several large islands in the Queen Egwene Islands.

The Key West Islands belong to the rear of the Queen Egwene Islands, and because the gray dwarf bandits twice lost troops on the Key West Islands, the Key West Islands have not felt any pressure from the gray dwarf bandits and the Kraken Legion in the past month or so. pressure.

Captain Berkeley believes that the Key West Islands are not involved in the war, mainly because the gray dwarf bandits and the Kraken Legion have set their sights on the three main islands of the Queen Egwene Islands.

However, the three main islands of the Queen Egwene Islands are protected by ancient trees of war. After several battles, neither the gray dwarf bandits nor the Kraken Legion coalition took any advantage.

The gray dwarf bandits are currently building bunker fortifications on the outer islands of the Queen Egwene Islands, trying to completely block this sea area.

In that case, the next strategic target of the gray dwarf bandits must be the Key West Islands, the backdoor of the Queen Egwene Islands.

In the past month or so, Roy has successively transferred 3,000 mixed elf warriors from the Pagisto Plateau.

The Half-Blood Elf Guard Corps has been replenished with troops. The injured Half-Blood Elf warriors can return to the Pagisto Plateau for vacation even after their injuries have recovered. Therefore, the current total strength of the Key West Islands Half-Blood Elf Guard Corps has been maintained at around 5,000 people. .

After more than two months of intensive training, the mixed-blood elf warriors were able to skillfully control eleven three-masted sailing ships to sail freely within the waters of the Key West Islands.

The Elf Academy in Castletown City also started taking vacation before the rainy season.

…

On the beach next to the main island pier, Roy and Woods sat side by side on a rock, looking at the sunset in the distance through eleven three-masted sailboats.

Woods said with some worry: "Roy, I know you have been fighting, but I didn't expect the situation to be so tense. Some time ago, news came to Castletown City, saying that the Silver Pegasus Army had found the key to victory. Why has the Silver Pegasus Legion retreated to the three main islands now?"

"The gray dwarf bandits and the Kraken formed an alliance, and the Kraken used the murlocs as cannon fodder to attack the islands. Except for the three main islands, no island in the Queen Egwene Islands should be able to defend it." Roy whispered to him. Woods muttered.

Because of this, Roy has gathered the mixed-blood elf warriors from the small islands around the Key West Islands to the main island.

Currently, the number of mixed-blood elf guards on the main island reaches five thousand.

Even if the gray dwarf bandits and the Kraken Legion arrive at the Key West Islands at this moment, they will still have to pay a high price if they want to capture the main island.

Hearing what Roy said, Woods said even more worriedly: "What if the three main islands are lost? Are we going to give up the Queen Evening Islands?"

"This is the last springboard for the elves to enter the endless sea, how could it possibly fall!"

Roy smiled and said, but there was not much confidence in his tone.

"But doesn't the current bad situation explain the problem?" Woods was a little anxious and muttered: "If I had known earlier, I should have brought the Black Pearl over and let that ship contribute to this naval battle. Roy, have you ever thought about what would happen if Key West fell?"

Roy paused and then said: "Then take the fleet and retreat to Partington Island."

"..."

The two were silent for a while. This topic prevented Roy and Woods from seeing any hope of victory for the Silver Pegasus Army in the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands.

The opponent used murlocs as cannon fodder on the battlefield, which obviously just suppressed the jungle warfare that Silver Moon Elves are best at.

…

In the distance in the sea, Moira is trying hard to chase Miss Tiffany, who has transformed into a Naga mermaid.

She was learning to swim recently, and she was able to hang out with Miss Tiffany for a while while wearing tight-fitting leather armor.

Sabrina hugged her knees and sat on the beach. She did not go into the water, but quietly watched Moira and Miss Tiffany play in the sea.

Sabrina and Moira arrived at Partington Island by boat the day after the Elf Academy's holiday. They were delayed on Partington Island for a day before they found a supply ship from the Silver Pegasus Legion. , took a supply ship to the Key West Islands.

This time Woods came with the two of them to deliver four boxes of primary magic potions to Roy.

It's funny to say that Roy currently controls the entire market of low-level magic herbs in the Partington plane, and at the same time owns a medium-sized alchemy workshop in Castletown, but when his own army needs magic potions At that time, Woods scraped together and brought only four boxes of primary magic potions.

What put Woods and Roy in this predicament was not the poor management of the alchemy workshop and the fact that it was facing bankruptcy.

On the contrary, the alchemy workshop in Castletown City is currently being expanded, and it is actively recruiting magic pharmacists.

Mainly because within this month and a half, the Alchemy Workshop sold out all primary magic potions and primary magic herbs three times in a row.

Even though the price of these primary magic herbs has nearly doubled from two months ago, the market for primary magic herbs is still in short supply, and even the warehouses in Padstow City are out of stock.

Augustus, the herbal medicine merchant in Padstow City, has led a caravan of a hundred people to the Blackwater Swamp to purchase magic herbs.

Therefore, for the first time, the Partington plane ushered in the huge dividends brought by magic herbs.

In the past month and a half, almost all magic herbal medicine-related industries in Padstow City have seen some improvement, and even new magic herbal medicine shops have sprung up on the shopping streets of Padstow City. .

The initiators of this situation were the large business groups who came from the Green Empire.

After large ships arrived at Castletown Port, they immediately started buying and selling.

Whether it is magic pattern structures, magic weapons, or those magic potions and herbs, or even water magic scrolls, these imperial merchants do not just walk into the magic shop to choose at will, but directly take over the magic shop, all magic All items were purchased.

They bought everything, and almost half of the magic crystals they paid for were black.

Speaking of these magic crystals, most of them are actually magic cores found from the bodies of monsters. These magic cores usually contain magic crystals as big as walnuts.

The colors of magic crystals are also varied. According to research by magic scholars, the specific color of the magic core mainly depends on the magical properties of the monster itself.

Most of the magic crystals obtained from monsters with air magic elements are white in color. The magic crystals from water monsters are almost always bluish. The magic crystals from fire monsters are red and earth yellow. Wood is green. If the magic elements in the body of Warcraft are very pure, then these magic crystals are these basic colors.

But if a magic crystal contains both water and fire magic elements, then most of the magic crystal will be purple.

The black magic crystals brought out by the empire's merchants look like obsidian without any impurities. The magic aura contained in them is extremely rich, and they are highly sought after by magicians...

All the products in Roy's alchemy workshop were bought by these imperial merchants.

Directly, Woods took only four boxes of primary magic potions and ran to the Key West Islands.

"How is Claire lately?" Roy asked Woods.

If Claire hadn't been working hard to establish relationships with the alchemy workshop in Castletown, it would have been impossible to save it by now.

“He’s currently working on the Summer Starry Concerts, so he’s not able to come with us,” Woods said.

The sunset gradually swallows up the setting sun, the clouds begin to change from red to dark blue, and the warm and humid sea breeze blows in the face. The main island of the Key West Islands welcomes the most comfortable moment of the day.

Moira in the sea kept calling Sabrina on the beach, looking as happy as a little dolphin...

…

The sky was getting darker and darker, but masts appeared on the sea, and bulging sails were exposed one after another. In the dim light, these sails looked like forests on the sea.

It was the lookout on the main mast of the three-masted sailing ship who immediately discovered these ships, but the half-blood elf lookouts seemed to be making no move.

Woods looked nervously into the distance. Even Sabrina on the beach stood up and looked at the sails from a distance...

Moira and Miss Tiffany quickly swam to the shore.

But Roy didn't look nervous at all. He turned his head and glanced at the sea in the distance, and said to Woods, who looked nervous:

"Don't worry, judging from these sails, it should be the Silver Moon Elf fleet." Roy said casually.

He recognized that these sails were only found on medium-sized sailing ships because of the observation deck above the mast.

"ah……"

Woods breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, after a while these medium-sized sailboats appeared in everyone's sight, but these sailboats did not stop at the main island of the Key West Islands. Instead, they passed by the main island and headed east towards the main island of the Queen Ewinnie Islands. go.

Although it was getting late, the route chosen by these medium-sized sailing ships was very close to the main island of the Key West Islands, so Roy could clearly see the Silver Moon Elf warriors on those ships. Behind these Silver Moon Elf warriors wearing silver armor They all carry elven longbows, and the elven longbows they carry are not even equipped by the elite troops of the Silver Pegasus Legion...

Roy suddenly thought of what Captain Berkeley said to him when he passed by here a few days ago.

Captain Berkeley said at the time, ‘Maybe other legions from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will intervene in the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands this time. ’

Roy also curiously asked, 'Will the Unicorn Legion be used? ’

Captain Berkeley chuckled, 'That's not the case, the Unicorn Legion will not leave the Holy Land easily, most of them are the Great Elf Archer Group. ’

Now that Roy saw these silver-armored elf archers on the medium-sized sailboat, he immediately thought of the group of big elf archers that Captain Berkeley mentioned. This is also an army that can represent the heritage of the Silver Moon elves...

More than thirty central sailing ships full of great elf archers sailed past the main island.

Just as it was getting dark, a wisp of moonlight hung in the night sky, and beams of light appeared on the stern of the medium-sized sailboat behind. Those beams of light looked like they were shot from the moon.

There are also ten such medium-sized sailing ships...

Roy and Woods both stood up from the rocks with surprised faces and looked at the sailboats in the sea in the distance.

In the dim light, Roy vaguely saw the flag of the Moon Temple flying on the bow of the ship.

"It's the priest of the Temple of the Moon!" Roy and Woods said almost at the same time.

The two looked at each other. In this situation, no one expected that the priests of the Moon Temple would also be dispatched.

The Silver Moon Elf Kingdom has made such a big move, and the meaning is very obvious. It is impossible to give up the Queen Egwene Islands under any circumstances...

Roy took a breath, sat down again and said to Woods next to him:

"It is estimated that the winner of this battle will be decided soon. These gray dwarf bandits have never figured out the details of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom!"

"Well, although the Great Elf Archer Corps and the Moon Temple Priest Corps are not as good as the Silver Pegasus Legion and the Unicorn Legion, they are also the ace legions of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom." Woods also said with excitement.

Roy jumped off the rock and walked quickly to the temporary camp, saying as he walked:

"Although the gray dwarf bandit fleet has not sailed into the Key West Islands, we still have to fight for a share of the pie. The tactics of those Kraken legions are very simple, which is to use the lives of murlocs to pave the way for blood. They are in front of the Silver Moon Elf warriors. It can be like this, but it’s still not enough for us.”

"Let's make some preparations first to see if any gray dwarf bandits will break into the Key West Islands!"

Roy murmured to Woods while walking towards the temporary camp...

In his opinion, the headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau are much more powerful than the fish-man spirits.

In addition, Silver Moon Elf warriors do not have the toughness of mixed-blood Elf warriors, and their fighting will on the battlefield is not high. Although their armaments and combat skills are excellent, once they are asked to make a life and death decision, these Silver Moon Elf warriors will Collapse immediately.

At this moment, Moira and Miss Tiffany also came ashore, joined Sabrina, and followed Roy back to the temporary camp.

Moira put a bath towel on her shoulders, chased after Roy, and asked him actively: "Roy, are you ready to go on a mission? Don't forget to take me with you this time..."

"No, it's just a temporary deployment."

Roy said without looking back.

Forty medium-sized sailing ships have just passed by in one breath. If each medium-sized sailing ship is fully loaded with Silver Moon Elf warriors and priests, it means that an elite army of 10,000 elves is heading for the main island of the Queen Egwene Islands.

This also means that a big war is coming.

So Roy wants the mixed-blood elf warriors in the temporary camp to be fully prepared...
