Path of light

Chapter 583 584. Roy's plan

In fact, Captain Gabor Reis hoped that a Silver Moon Elf Guard Corps would take the initiative to take over the task of guarding the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp.

But these Silver Moon Elf captains did not seem to be willing to do so. Among the many Elf Guard Corps, the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Corps sent by the 17th Silver Pegasus Knights was a very special existence. This was a guard corps composed entirely of half-blood elf warriors.

In the eyes of Captain Gabor Reis, this mine guard corps was synonymous with a cannon fodder corps.

Now that no Silver Moon Elf captain was willing to take on the garrison mission of the Dark Gate, it could only be given to this mine guard corps composed of half-blood elves.

He was also worried that such a mine guard corps could not take on the task of guarding the Dark Gate. After all, this gate was related to the safety of the entire Elf Continent.

But in fact, during this period, several magicians from the Magic Guild had to stay here to restore the Dark Gate, which was on the verge of collapse. A team of unicorn knights was guarding the other side of the gate, and there were dozens of Moon Temple priests in the square in the back garden. All of these represented the strongest combat power of the Elf Continent.

Of course, Roy also thought of these...

If what the old priest said was true, as long as there were no sudden problems at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp, it would be relatively safe for the Elf Army to garrison here.

The only thing to worry about was that the half-blood elf warriors might be infected with the dark aura.

But Roy himself was a great priest, and as long as he often used the "twilight illumination technique" to dispel the dark aura on the half-blood elf warriors, he could ensure that the warriors would not be eroded by the dark aura.

In fact, there were far more reasons why Roy agreed to garrison the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp.

He wanted to know where the holy light power in the holy water pool in front of the Dark Gate came from, and he also wanted to inquire about the news of the great priest Reed.

Since he was the one guarding the Dark Gate, he would think about whether he could bring High Priest Reed back to the Elf Continent.

In addition, Roy had some selfish motives. He wanted to improve his holy light power. The fastest way was to eliminate some undead, demons and dark creatures through purification.

This was the Dark Land. There were a large number of dark creatures in the surrounding area. Roy wanted to try to enter the Dark Land to hunt some dark creatures to see if he could get soul crystals to improve his abilities.

In fact, he was also a little worried that the holy light power in his body would not be able to recover in the Dark Land.

But when he found a pool of holy water in front of the Dark Gate, he suddenly became confident...

After Commander Burres gave Roy the task of guarding the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp and agreed to Roy's three requests, he turned around silently and crossed the Dark Gate to return to Golfito Canyon, ignoring the Silver Moon Elf leaders who made him feel cold.

Commander Malthus looked at Roy with some worry, thinking that the person standing in front of him was a young half-elf after all, and he didn't know how to refuse the orders from the top.

Originally, the garrison mission should not have fallen on the head of the mine guards.

He was beside Roy, patted Roy on the shoulder, pulled him aside and whispered:

"Regarding the fact that Captain Gabreth gave the task of garrisoning the expeditionary camp to the mine guards, I will write to Earl Macaulay and Earl Swinburne. This garrison mission should not be the responsibility of our Silver Pegasus Knights, but since the legion commander has decided and you have received this garrison mission, you must guard the expeditionary camp seriously. After all, this is related to the safety of the entire elf continent. Don't hold on if you encounter danger. Remember to send someone through the Dark Gate to report the information to the legion commander in time."

"... In addition, you must always observe the status of the half-blood elf warriors. After all, this is a dark place and it is easy to be contaminated by the dark atmosphere. You can arrange some half-blood elf warriors to return to Golfito Canyon at an appropriate time, and you should also come back frequently."

Roy looked at the long-winded Captain Malthus, and felt indescribably moved in his heart.

"Captain Malthus, please rest assured! I used to be an apprentice priest and know some simple divine arts. I will often observe the status of the warriors." Roy said to Captain Malthus.

At this time, a group of half-blood elf captains climbed the steps of the Dark Gate and returned to the Statue of Liberty in Golfito from the expeditionary camp.

Roy also followed Captain Malthus through the Dark Gate.

He wanted to return to the camp of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights as soon as possible and bring the half-blood elf warriors of the Mine Guard to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp.

...

After Captain Malthus and Roy returned to the camp of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights, Captain Malthus was a little surprised:

When the half-blood elf warriors heard Roy say that the 'Mine Guard will go through the Dark Gate to the expeditionary camp to perform garrison tasks', this group of half-blood elf warriors turned back to the tent area without saying a word, and quickly dismantled the tents. All the supplies that could be used for the march were all on their backs, and they stood at the entrance of the camp ready to go.

During the whole process, no elves discussed this mission in private, and no half-blood elves asked Roy questions. It was as if everyone had been mentally prepared for the order Roy had conveyed.

The half-blood elf warriors were obedient, something Captain Malthus had never seen in the Silver Moon elf warriors.

In the camp, Roy was also packing his personal belongings in the tent.

Viscount Felek followed Roy, leaning on the armrest of the chair outside the tent, and leaning over to remind Roy in a low voice:

"Captain Roy, the mine guards are auxiliary soldiers of the Silver Pegasus Knights, and there is no need to perform the garrison mission in the Dark Land. If you don't want to go, you can appeal to the Silver Pegasus Military. Although the Silver Pegasus Military cannot help you relieve this mission immediately, it can greatly reduce the time of the mission."

Roy put a blanket into the box, turned around and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, since the mission has been arranged, the mine guards just need to work hard to do it, and we have also gained a lot of benefits this time. I have secured a cup of pure life tree juice for the soldiers every two weeks, and Commander Gabreth agreed to my application."

Viscount Felek asked Roy in confusion: "Each Elf Guard has a quota of life tree juice..."

When he said this, he suddenly realized something, and he looked at Roy in surprise.

Roy nodded slightly and said to Viscount Felek:

"For the half-blood elf warriors of the mine guard, the sap of life is not part of the distributed logistical supplies."

"To be precise, the mine guard is an extra-corps army of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, Partington Plane. Since the mine guard was established, except for the two times we received logistical supplies from the legion in the early days, the rest of the military supplies were purchased by us from Castletown."

After a pause, Roy smiled mysteriously at Viscount Felek and said, "After all... we have mines!"

Felek Viscount Lake looked at Roy's back, and suddenly seemed to have made some important decision. He said to Roy:

"I also want to go to the Dark Land with you."

Roy glanced at Viscount Feleck, put his arm around his shoulders, and complained to him:

"I think you should just forget it. I'll give you a task. Help me watch those magic airships. Don't let them become illegal ships inexplicably while we are stationed at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force Camp."

This seemingly joking remark, in Viscount Feleck's view, was also a kind of hidden worry in Captain Roy's heart.

"...I will try to apply for legal procedures for these magic airships."

Viscount Feleck whispered.

...

Before dark, Roy led 5,000 half-blood elf warriors of the mine guards through the west gate of the Statue of Liberty to the back garden square, and then through the Dark Gate to the expeditionary camp established by the priests.

At this moment, the dark land had just reached the ‘daytime’, the daytime of the dark creatures, and the world outside the magic shield was a dark place that the elves could not see their fingers.

Occasionally, there would be rustling sounds coming from all around, and some cries similar to those of night owls, which made the half-blood elf warriors who had just arrived a little creepy.

When the priests of the Statue of Liberty left, they left many unused tents. These tents were very clean. The sleeping bags and blankets in them had been taken away by the priests. Many tents were covered with a thick layer of felt.

The half-blood elf warriors packed up these unused tents and moved in.

Roy took over the garrison mission of the expeditionary camp, and there were many things that needed to be confirmed in person.

The most important thing was to ensure the normal operation of the sixteen magic towers...

Fortunately, there were several magicians here who were studying the cause of the collapse of the Dark Portal. Several magicians rode on magic brooms, almost sticking to the stone pillars of the Dark Portal, checking the magic symbols carved on them.

While the magicians were resting, Roy quickly seized the opportunity and came to a magician wearing a Kalemian magic robe, asking him to help check the operation of the sixteen magic towers in the expeditionary camp.

These magicians are all powerful masters of the third turn...

Even in the prosperous and bustling Castletown City, it is difficult to have the opportunity to meet them.

Now there is another opportunity to deal with each other, Roy will naturally not miss this rare opportunity.

Unexpectedly, the leading white-bearded mage listened to Roy's request quietly, and said to Roy very kindly:

"This matter should naturally be handed over to us. No one knows these magic circles better than us, Elaud! You go and check the sixteen magic circles with Captain Roy. It is best to give some simple daily maintenance methods to Captain Roy."

"Yes, Vice President!"

The young-looking mage immediately agreed, and then said to Roy: "Captain Roy, let's go and take a look now!"

"Uh! Okay."

Roy didn't expect these mages to do things so vigorously...
