Path of light

Chapter 54 55. Friends

A deep horn sound resounded throughout Castletown Harbor...

The great elf archers appeared on the top of the dock building one after another. They were wearing black cloaks and gray light leather armor. They carried battle longbows on their backs and had two quivers hanging on their waists. They had just appeared on the Sea Wolf ship. Rooftop opposite the pier.

A strong chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire port.

The Silver Moon Elves' archer regiment is known as the most outstanding long-range force in the Eastern Continent, and is as famous as the Orc Tribe's Flying Ax Orc Legion and the Swamp Tribe's Lizard Man Archer Legion.

They quickly occupied the commanding heights across the pier.

Then there were arrows that were silently wrapped in the wind element, tearing through the darkness and covering the deck of the Sea Wolf in all directions.

An arrow wrapped in wind element hit the main mast.

The arrow actually penetrated the rod body, which was nearly half a meter in diameter, and popped out from the other side.

Another arrow flew past Mrs. Yudula's cheek. If she hadn't turned around and glanced at the dock just now, the arrow would have hit the center of her eyebrow.

The arrow hit the wooden railing next to it with a bang, and the arm-thick oak railing immediately broke into two pieces in the middle.

The first mate, Mrs. Yudula, was so frightened that she immediately held up a magic light shield. She felt that this was not very safe. In a panic, she pulled out the magic harpoon from the magic waist bag and flew towards the night sky on the magic harpoon.

Several arrows that flew after her landed behind her and disappeared into the dark night.

Subsequently, more arrows wrapped in wind elements flew in. Two arrows almost partially hit the floating device of the magic urn handle backwards. The floating device on the magic urn handle suddenly shattered. Mrs. Udula Fell from the air into the sea.

On the battlefield, magicians are always the priority targets for archers to focus their fire...

Lady Udula failed to dodge the arrows of the great elf archers...

…

Captain Relf forced Captain Simpson against the brass ram on the bow.

Captain Simpson ran around the bronze horned humanoid statue, avoiding the war hammer in Captain Ralph's hand.

The warhammer hit the bronze man, causing some dents to appear on the statue.

The sailors who rushed out from below the deck had just driven a group of elven guards off the ship, and they had not even had time to cheer for their brief victory.

Arrows fell on the deck one after another. The leather armor worn by the crew could not block the sharp arrows at all.

The arrow pierced the chest, and the crew members became stiff.

He looked at the arrow stuck in his chest with a look of despair, and reached out to pull the arrow out of his chest, but finally fell to the deck.

With just a hail of arrows, there were only a dozen or so crew members left standing on the deck of the Sea Wolf.

Other crew members were hit by arrows and fell on the deck.

Even Captain Ralph had a few feather arrows stuck in his body.

It's just that the muscles of his body are as hard as rocks, and a few arrows have penetrated into the flesh, not even the slightest injury.

Although there are several arrows hanging on the body, it looks like a porcupine.

But he still waved the war hammer in his hand, forcing Captain Simpson to retreat steadily, without the ability to fight back.

The elven warriors jumped onto the deck of the Seawolf again along the ships on both sides, followed closely by the archers who boarded the ship.

This group of elven sword dancers wearing heavy armor rushed to the deck of the Sea Wolf and unceremoniously killed the remaining twenty or so crew members.

Second Officer Nelev sensed that something was wrong and saw his companions dying in battle, so he moved towards Captain Relf...

Although there were a few arrows hanging on his body, he was able to withstand the injuries from these arrows due to his strong physique.

The deck of the Sea Wolf was filled with sword dancers wearing heavy armor. Everyone gathered together and surrounded the second officer Nerev. Some of the elven sword dancers rushed into the ship building.

The elven guards and patrolmen who were forced back by the crew of the Sea Wolf to the other two ships took the opportunity to run back and began to rescue the injured elves on the deck.

In addition to the wounded lying on the deck, some elves fell into the sea.

…

Several more arrows landed on Captain Ralph with a clanging sound.

Even though he had hard armor and rock-like skin, he was still defeated under the siege of several sword dancers.

Several Seruki swords were twisted on the chains of Captain Ralph's shield at the same time, and the chains of the dwarf's chain shield were broken.

Without the protection of the shield, Captain Ralph could not resist the attack of the elven warriors with his war hammer alone.

Seeing that the situation was doomed, Captain Ralph made a decisive decision even though he was reluctant to part with the Sea Wolf.

Under siege by the Elf Sword Dancers, he broke through the defense of the two Sword Dancers like a cannonball and jumped into the dark sea.

…

Now only the second officer Nerev was left on the deck, still resisting.

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape from the Sea Wolf, but he was surrounded by several Elf Sword Dancers and had no chance of jumping off the ship.

At this time, the elves on the deck had discovered that the Sea Wolf was sinking slowly. The elven sword dancers who wanted to enter the cabin along the deck stairs also withdrew one after another at this time.

Originally, the height difference between the Sea Wolf's deck and the port pier was nearly five meters, but now it's only less than two meters.

There were already crew members in the oar room of the Wave Wave shouting in panic:

"Oops, sea water is pouring in, swim out quickly..."

The second officer Nerev, who was covered in injuries, also used his last chance to rush to the right side of the ship.

He wants to jump ship...

He used his body to resist the long sword slashed by the elf guard, and easily broke through the encirclement of the two elf guards...

But at this time, Captain Simpson appeared in front of him.

Nelev used all his strength to slash at Squadron Leader Simpson.

Squadron Leader Simpson turned sideways to avoid the scimitar that Nerev slashed in front of him. He rotated his body to Nerev's side, and held the long sword in his backhand to cut Nerev's throat.

A spurt of blood spurted from his throat.

Nerev threw away the scimitar in his hand in despair, and covered his throat with both hands. Unfortunately, the blood still gushes out from between his fingers. He even became unable to breathe, and his eyes protruded outward, staring. Wandering around, looking around desperately.

When he was sailing in the endless sea, he was not swept into the deep sea by the violent waves of the sea. When he was catching the Naga mermaid, he was not swallowed by the deep sea monster at the feet of the sea beast sacrifice. He was not fighting with other slave traders. When fighting for the chassis, he died under the opponent's machete.

But he died under the sword of an Elf Sword Dancer in Castletown Port in the Elf Kingdom, the place where he was least likely to encounter a battle.

There was so much reluctance in his heart...

He originally wanted to purify the captain's cabin and get a commendation from Captain Ralph.

It's a pity that everything was messed up by him...

Nelev collapsed on the deck.

…

The Sword Dancers of the Seventeenth Legion began to pursue Captain Ralph, who jumped into the sea to escape, and Mrs. Yudula, who fell into the sea and was missing.

Although the elves don't know their names, their identities are very easy to identify. One is a strong gray dwarf and the other is a blood elf magician.

A row of great elf archers stood on the edge of the port pier, facing the sea, holding battle longbows and paying attention to the movements of the sea.

The Sea Wolf was surrounded by more than two dozen fishing boats.

The bows of these fishing boats all raised their lanterns and began to search around the Sea Wolf.

Thinking that Jasper was still in the hold and had not been rescued, Roy ran towards the ship's stairs.

Claire followed closely behind Roy.

There is a group of Elf Sword Dancers guarding the stairs.

Roy wanted to follow the corridor below deck into the bilge.

When we reached the stairs, we discovered that sea water had poured in from below.

Some crew members swam out from the cabin and were still splashing in the water.

As soon as they struggled to climb up the stairs, the elf guards held their necks with swordsmen.

Roy wanted to go in and explore the bottom of the cabin. His water skills were okay, but he was stopped by the elf guard guarding the door.

"Let me go down, my companion is still down there..."

Roy was a little emotional.

He thought that if Jasper had not given the opportunity to him at that time, he might be the one tied up in the bottom cabin now.

Squadron Leader Simpson, with his right arm wrapped in a bandage, came up from behind and pressed Roy's shoulder with his left hand:

"The seawater has already submerged the bottom cabin. It is estimated that there is no way to rescue him now. The situation inside is very complicated now. Even if you want to recover his body, it is best to wait."

"It is estimated that during the day, two hanging towers will be built here to fish out the sunken ship."

…

At this moment, the Sea Wolf kept sinking.

The deck is already at the same level as the pier stone platform.

Miss Belle Claire on the shore called out Wagner Claire's name, asking him to get ashore as soon as possible before the Sea Wolf sank.

Claire quickly pulled the reluctant Roy onto the dock.

The bodies of the sailors on the deck were also carried to the shore by the elven warriors, and were neatly placed on the dock.

Some fishing boats also retrieved the bodies of some Sea Wolf crew members from the sea and brought them to the shore.

Since the elven guards and patrols were relatively life-saving, no elves really died in this battle.

Seriously injured elf warriors have also been sent to the Moon Temple for treatment as soon as possible.

It's getting a little chaotic on the dock...

Roy went ashore and asked the elves returning from the fishing boats if any of them had caught a mixed-blood elf covered in wounds.

Almost all the elves who were asked were shaking their heads, but when a few elves were searching the sea, they saw some naga mermaids appearing in the sea.

After hearing the news, Roy sat exhausted on the stone slab on the dock.

At this time, almost all of the Sea Wolf sank into the sea, and only the captain's cabin on the top floor of the ship's building and the five masts of different lengths on the ship were exposed on the water.

Roy glanced at the dark sea and sighed. He was so tired that night that he almost collapsed and wanted to take a breath before looking around.

He hadn't even had time to inform High Priest Reed of the Temple of Liberty of the bad news here...

Claire wanted to talk to Roy again, but was pulled into the carriage by her sister Belle.

At this time, other young elves also left in carriages. It is estimated that tonight's experience will become a topic of conversation at every gathering for a long time to come.

When the elven army arrived at the dock, Princess Ophelia left the port in a carriage.

When Wolfe and Wilson, two outstanding elf nobles, returned to the dock, Princess Ophelia had long disappeared.

Roy was about to get up from the ground and ask the elves who had just landed for news about Jasper.

Then I heard the grocery store owner shouting from afar:

"Hey, Roy, your friend not only returned...the ax and chisel, but also paid back the money you owed me...for you!"

Roy was slightly startled: 'An ax and a chisel? ’

His eyes widened, he got up from the ground and ran towards the grocery store owner.

The grocery store owner quickly threw the hand ax with a sharp edge like a saw-tooth and the chisel bent like a horn at Roy's feet with disgust, and said loudly:

"Now this ax and chisel are yours. They are already in this state. Don't let me return them!"

Roy blinked at the grocery store owner, ignoring the axes and chisels that were no different from scrap metal, and looked past the grocery store owner:

"Where are the others?"

Recently, I figured out the error correction method for correcting typos. Please give me more tips. In order to be able to write more, I am relatively blind recently. Please help me. Thanks for the reward, brother. I really can’t pay the debt I owe now. I won’t pay it off until the end no matter what I say this time.
