Path of light

Chapter 334 335. On the battlefield

Baron Hercules, the leader of the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment, stood at the door of the military camp tent and watched as Captain Berkeley led the horse team of the Logistics Regiment to leave the military camp.

The Cavalry Vanguard Regiment has a total of five thousand elven warriors and is one of the few cavalry units in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

Due to various reasons, there are currently only six Silver Pegasus regiments left in the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion. There are also four Elf Cavalry regiments in the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, and the cavalry vanguard of Captain Hercules. Tuan is one of them.

He is also the youngest among these chapter leaders. He has the support of the Hercules family behind him, so he can sit firmly in the position of leader.

Although he is only a Silver Moon Elf Baron, he holds military power in his hands, so he is also a key training target in the family.

This time the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment entered the Pagisto Plateau, it was Captain Hercules who took the initiative to apply to Earl Swinburne, otherwise Earl Swinburne would have sent a Silver Pegasus regiment into the plateau to resolve the chaos on the plateau.

Captain Hercules originally thought that after the cavalry vanguard arrived on the plateau, they would drive straight in and directly destroy the lair of the Elf Headhunters.

But after he led the cavalry vanguard into the Pagisto Plateau, he discovered that things were far from as simple as he thought. The entire territory of the Pagisto Plateau was larger than the area occupied by the Silver Moon elves around Padesto City. The land is much larger.

After the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment entered the vast Pagisto Plateau, it could not make a small splash at all.

However, the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment is currently stationed on the plateau, and we must not retreat at this time, otherwise both Earl Swinburne and the Hercules family may re-examine Captain Hercules' abilities.

It was not easy for him to climb to this position...

In the past few days, Captain Hercules has been studying the map of Pagisto Plateau, trying to guess where the Elf Headhunters are hiding on the plateau.

The Silver Pegasus reconnaissance team has been out for several days and has not brought back any useful information to him. In the past few days, Captain Hercules has sent out the cavalry reconnaissance team from the cavalry regiment to check the surrounding area. Are there any elven headhunters ambushing the area?

He glanced at the map coldly and marked a blank space.

Captain Hercules didn't even think much about Roy. Earl Swinburne actually sent a half-elf... This made him somewhat resistant.

Captain Hercules felt that the count was really unnecessary. No matter where the elven cavalry rushed on the vast Pagisto Plateau, the elven headhunters on the plateau could only flee.

At present, elven headhunters can still roam around on the plateau simply because the elven warriors of the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment have not yet adapted to the environment here.

Elf warriors prefer the rainforest...

Captain Hercules holds a ruler in his hand and a red and blue pencil in his pocket. He likes to draw some action plans on the map and draw a clear marching route.

After Captain Berkeley left, he turned around and walked to the map and began to think about the cavalry regiment's combat plan.

He turned around and forgot about Roy.

…

In this way, Roy and Rambo settled in the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment.

Roy and Rambo would leave the camp with the 10th Reconnaissance Team every day and enter the plateau to detect the movements of headhunters on the plateau.

Both of them were riding military horses and following the reconnaissance team.

In the past few days, the reconnaissance team has been active in the mountains to the west of Kazuo. This is considered to be an area where the elven headhunters are extremely active.

It’s just that Captain Jones of the reconnaissance team hasn’t noticed it yet.

The reconnaissance team was under a high slope. Captain Jones wanted to take everyone up the gentle slope so that they could have a panoramic view of the terrain in the surrounding area.

This gentle slope is covered with waist-high grass, and the war horses need to wade through the grass to move forward.

Lambo observed the surrounding mountains, then caught up with Roy, and whispered to Roy: "Roy, there used to be elf headhunters here. I usually choose to go around here when I pass by. This hillside is flat. The grassland, we walked up from below, the view is blocked by the grass, it is difficult to see the situation above, even if there is an elf headhunter ambushing above, we can't see it."

Rambo's personality is very similar to that of his father Lysander. He usually likes to be taciturn, but when he speaks, he must be on target.

Roy quickly rode forward, stopped Captain Jones who was walking in front, and told him Lambeau's judgment.

Hearing what Roy said, Captain Jones didn't dare to be careless.

He quickly asked the reconnaissance team to stop, and then sent two elf warriors to ride around from the left and right sides, so as to avoid frontal surveillance.

When the two elf warriors climbed up the mountain, they saw a group of elf headhunters fleeing far away.

The two elves quickly signaled to the reconnaissance team below. After the reconnaissance team climbed up the hillside, several elf headhunters quickly fled, leaving only small black dots in everyone's sight.

"They should have been ambushing on the grassy slopes of the mountains before. They should be the scouts of the elf headhunters." Captain Jones said with lingering fear.

Just now, if he had insisted on climbing to the top from the front slope, it is estimated that what was waiting for their reconnaissance team would be a head-on attack from those elven headhunters...

They must have wanted to wait for the reconnaissance team to enter the ambush circle before taking action, but they did not expect that the reconnaissance team detoured from the left and right mountains and immediately discovered this group of elf headhunters.

When these elf headhunters saw that the reconnaissance team was aware of the situation, they immediately gave up the ambush and fled very quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Captain Jones turned back to Roy and Rambo and praised: "You two did a good job!"

In the next few days, the reconnaissance team was investigating in this area...

…

In a patch of waist-deep grass, Lambo followed Roy, and the two of them walked through the grass one after the other.

An elf warrior witnessed three headhunters crawling into the grass. Captain Jones wanted to catch these elf headhunters, so he asked the elf warriors in the team to disperse and search.

Roy and Rambo were both newcomers to the reconnaissance team. No elf warrior was willing to team up with them, so the two of them had to form a team.

Before leaving, Captain Jones gave Roy a whistle.

Captain Jones asked Roy to put the whistle in his mouth and bite it with his teeth. No matter what situation he found, he could blow the whistle for help.

This grassland area is very large, and headhunters are lurking in it. They are all masters of assassination. As long as they hide in the grass and don't come out, it will be very difficult to find them.

Once ambushed by an elf headhunter, life and death are likely to be a matter of seconds.

Roy did not dare to be careless while walking in the grass. He even blessed Lambo and himself with the 'blessing of strength' and 'blessing of wisdom', and the magic pattern structure he wore was also fully activated.

Lambo didn't have a magic pattern construct, so Roy asked Lambo to follow him.

Just as the two of them were walking through a patch of grass, Roy didn't notice an elf headhunter crouching in the grass half a meter away to his left.

When both Roy and Lambo walked over, the elf headhunter suddenly stood up, strangled Lambo's neck with one hand, and quickly cut Lambo's throat with the sharp knife in his hand.

In fact, Lambo has always been on guard, but the elf headhunters have the ability to 'hide', so they can't notice it at all.

When the headhunter strangled Lambeau's neck, Lambeau subconsciously grabbed the big hand, and his right hand just blocked the dagger...

The dagger in the headhunter's hand was inserted into Lambo's forearm, and Lambo wanted to break free from the elf headhunter's chokehold.

These fights woke Roy up instantly, and he turned around to rescue Rambo behind him.

But just as he turned around, a headhunter appeared beside him, strangled Roy's neck using almost the same method, and then inserted a sharp knife into Roy's heart.

At the critical moment of life and death, the magic pattern structure on Roy's body lit up with magic patterns, and the iron armor and petrified skin lit up one after another.

The elf headhunter only felt that he was holding a rock with one hand, and his dagger actually stabbed a thick book. At this moment, Roy burst out with great strength and broke free from the headhunter's shackles.

The book of judgment with a chain on it hit the headhunter's face hard. The book had a copper cover and made the headhunter scream in pain.

Roy instantly broke free from the headhunter's shackles, and a sacred scepter appeared in Roy's hand.

The scepter hit the head of the elf headhunter, and his skull was instantly shattered. The elf headhunter fell in a pool of blood.

Roy blew the whistle, and at the same time he saw another elf headhunter strangled Lambo's neck. This headhunter was very smart. He signaled to Roy that if he dared to rush over, he would cut Lambo open with a knife. throat.

Roy smiled coldly at the elf headhunter and raised his hand to indicate that he would not step forward...

Then Roy opened the Book of Judgment in his hand very naturally, and Roy uttered a string of prayers almost expressionlessly.

The elf headhunter had no time to react. A silver hammer suddenly flew out and hit the elf headhunter on the forehead. A bloody hole was made in his head by the sacred hammer, and then he fell straight down.

Rambo also fell with the elf headhunter. There was a wound on his neck, and blood spurted out from his neck.

There was already a burst of chaotic footsteps all around, and Captain Jones and several elf warriors quickly moved closer to Roy.

Lambo covered his throat with one hand, and blood kept pouring out from between his fingers. Even breathing became difficult, and there were even some blood bubbles between his fingers...

Roy immediately squatted down and poured a bottle of life potion into Lambeau's mouth almost immediately, and then quickly wrapped a bandage around his neck.

At this time, Captain Jones had already rushed up from the side with the elf warriors.

Roy ignored Captain Jones. He kept reciting prayers. As the divine pattern appeared, a beam of light fell on Lambo's neck.

Captain Jones broke through the grass from the side, ran over panting, and asked Roy, who was squatting next to Lambeau: "How are you two?"

"Lambo's throat was cut, but fortunately he was treated in time, so it shouldn't be a serious problem." Roy wiped the blood on his palm with a blade of grass.

Jones breathed a sigh of relief first, and then thought of the two elf headhunters...

He first looked around, and when he saw the elf headhunter who had changed beyond recognition, Captain Jones couldn't help but frown.

Then, he looked back at another elf headhunter.

The elf headhunter also died a long time ago.

"Over there, look quickly, are you still angry?" Captain Jones ordered the elf warriors around him.

Almost every day, Roy lived a life of licking blood from the tip of a knife.

The reconnaissance team needs to detect traces of elf headhunters everywhere, and Roy's field reconnaissance ability is improved little by little in this way.

Occasionally, he would encounter elf headhunters who desperately resisted, but Roy fought with all his life against the headhunters.

During the recent period of military life, Lambo also learned many new combat skills.

In the past few days, Roy had brought back five corpses of elf headhunters from outside. Every time, Roy could complete the task well, and soon he gained some fame in the 10th Investigation Team.

The elf warriors in the investigation team learned about Roy's strength and became gradually familiar with him.

…

The reconnaissance team had to risk their lives to conduct reconnaissance on the plateau every day, and the whereabouts of the elf headhunters were finally exposed on the map of Captain Hercules.

Because they knew the movements of these elven headhunters, the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment fought several victorious battles in succession, defeating the headhunters on the plateau.

Captain Hercules is becoming more and more confident...

But in the following days, when the elf headhunters saw a large number of elf cavalry, they immediately dispersed and refused to confront the elf cavalry.

And this group of elven cavalry pursued them bravely...

Because they were unfamiliar with the plateau and mountains, they were led into some horse traps by the headhunters and suffered several hardships. The elven warriors of the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment finally regained their arrogance and once again used the reconnaissance team to find the headhunters.

Almost at the same time, Captain Hercules immediately asked the headquarters of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion for help, hoping that the Legion would send more Silver Pegasus warriors to line up.

Roy has been scouting outside these days, and occasionally gets injured in confrontations with headhunters. However, he carries a life potion and knows the Holy Light spell, so even if he is injured, he can recover quickly.

As the Silver Pegasus warriors of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion appeared in large numbers on the plateau, the situation on the Pagisto Plateau immediately reversed. After being surrounded and killed several times by the Silver Pegasus warriors, the elven headhunters lost their heads. Return to the ground and flee to the hinterland of the plateau.

The cavalry vanguard group led by Captain Hercules immediately followed the headhunters and headed towards the hinterland of the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy and Lambeau were also in the vanguard of the cavalry.

This time the Silver Pegasus Legion won a great victory, and Lambo was the happiest elf. The elf headhunters retreated to the hinterland of the plateau from here, and the mixed-blood elves hiding in the gathering place were considered safe.

And Roy was completely forgotten by Captain Hercules in the Tenth Reconnaissance Team.
