Path of light

Chapter 336 337. Attack the mine

The mine owner Grantham took a group of mixed-blood elf warriors to hide in the wall stacks on the top of the fortress. Through the gap in the wall, he saw thousands of Silver Moon elf warriors gathered at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, the mine owner Grantham's mind went blank. .

As early as a month ago, he heard that the Silver Pegasus Legion of the Silver Moon Elves had entered the Pagisto Plateau.

More than ten days ago, he was still imagining that these Silver Pegasus warriors could not discover his mine, and he could avoid this trouble as long as he stayed in the fortress.

He even asked the plateau headhunters to provoke the Silver Moon Elf Cavalry in an attempt to attract their attention.

Just a few days ago, these plateau headhunters were driven away by a group of Silver Pegasus warriors.

At that time, the mine owner Grantham realized that something was wrong...

They, the mine owners, have lived a peaceful life on the Pagisto Plateau for so long that they have forgotten how dangerous the Silver Moon Elf army is.

In the past, mine owners like them cooperated with the Silver Moon Elf nobles in Padstow City. They could exchange ore for some Elf slaves, and then throw these Elf slaves into the mines for a small amount of water and food. You can harvest some high-quality ore every day.

Later, a riot broke out on the Partington plane. The Silver Moon Elf nobles in Padstow City all committed crimes, and the slave traders were also wiped out by the Silver Pegasus Legion.

The line of elf slaves was interrupted. There were no elf slaves added to the mine for a long time. The number of slave miners underground was decreasing day by day. The owner of the mine, Grantham, began to think of ways to solve this problem.

Without the elven slaves, the Partington plane was also closed, so the mine owners began to contact the headhunters on the plateau.

The requirements of the mine owners are very simple. As long as they can get some elf slaves back, no matter where the elf headhunters got them, the mine owners will buy them at the market price of the elf slaves.

In fact, it was because of the trade first that the plateau headhunters inflicted harm on the mixed elves.

Grantham originally thought that he might have to live like this in the future...

He never expected that there would be a mighty Silver Pegasus army of Silver Moon Elves charging into the Pagisto Plateau.

Yesterday morning, a dozen silver Pegasus flew over in the sky.

Silver Pegasus warriors hold bows and arrows and wander high in the sky.

The owner of the mine, Grantham, suddenly felt a chill...

At first, he hoped that this elven army was just passing by and that they would not find this fortress disguised as a cliff.

Later, when he saw the Silver Pegasus warriors in the sky, he felt a little desperate, but he did not give up completely, praying that these Silver Pegasus warriors were just passing by.

It was not until the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment was stationed at the foot of the mountain that the owner of the Grantham Mine felt completely cold.

From last night to now, Grantham has been a little bit unsatisfied, and even the people inside the fortress are in panic.

In front of them is a Silver Pegasus legion with outstanding military exploits.

And he has a lord's private army guarding the mine. This lord's private army cannot resist the Silver Pegasus warriors.

I saw an officer of the Elf Cavalry riding a war horse, facing the fortress and pulling out an Elf long sword, pointing the sword at the fortress of the mine...

The owner of the mine knew that this battle would happen sooner or later. He looked anxiously at the elf cavalry below, feeling extremely panicked in his heart.

However, the elven private soldiers hiding around him were also a little dumbfounded. Looking at the murderous elven cavalry at the foot of the mountain, the last bit of courage in their hearts was wiped out by the flying ashes.

"Boss, those elven cavalry are coming to kill them. What should we do?" the leader of the private army asked hoarsely.

He didn't want to fight with the Silver Moon Elf regular army. If the owner of the Grantham Mine insisted on having them fight the regular Elf Army, then he and a group of elf warriors under his command would directly tie up the Grantham Mine Owner and directly kill him. He was dedicated to the armies of the Silvermoon elves.

"What else can we do! Open the fortress gate and let them in. We admit defeat." The owner of the Grantham Mine said.

After saying this, he couldn't help but look up at the Silver Pegasus warriors in the sky.

He even regretted not buying a few cloud-piercing crossbows from the Gray Dwarf bandits. If there were a few giant crossbows on the fortress, he would definitely have a good fight with the Silver Pegasus warriors.

but now……

The Silver Pegasus warrior only needs to throw the arrows from the arrow pot on his waist from the sky. Even his private army of elves may not be able to stop them.

…

Hearing that the owner of the Grantham Mine was preparing to surrender, the surrounding elf warriors all let out a sigh of relief.

If this battle could be avoided, everyone would wish for it.

The leader of the private army had some contradictions in his heart. He felt that this matter was a bit useless, but he couldn't wait to hang a white flag.

He raised the white flag to the flagpole, and then ordered his elf warriors to open the gate under the fortress to welcome the elf cavalry at the foot of the mountain to enter the fortress.

This flag was first discovered by the Silver Pegasus Regiment in the sky.

After the two Silver Pegasus warriors asked their superiors for instructions, they circled and flew down on their Silver Pegasus.

Sure enough, once they entered the range of the archers, the elven private army on the fortress wall did not take action.

The Silver Pegasus warriors did not land on the city wall. They were suspended in mid-air only about three meters away from the city wall. The Silver Pegasus flapped its huge wings and rolled up waves of small tornadoes.

"All elves put down their weapons, put their hands and feet on the ground, and don't make any fearless resistance. Everyone stands on the city wall..."

"Open the gate of the fortress, all elves put down their weapons and accept the review of the Silver Moon Elf warriors."

The two silver Pegasus elf warriors kept saying loudly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a gate under the fortress to be pushed open by the elves' private soldiers. Groups of elves' private soldiers walked out of the gate and piled all the weapons in their hands together.

Captain Hercules also came to the gate of the fortress with a group of elven cavalry.

To be honest, if only the cavalry vanguard group attacked the mine this time, even if all five thousand elven cavalry were killed... they might not be able to break through the fortress.

But now there is a regiment of Silver Pegasus warriors in the sky, so under the absolute power, the mine owner surrendered decisively, which showed that he was very aware of current affairs.

…

Captain Hercules recovered a mine without any effort.

He stopped on horseback in front of the pile of weapons and looked at the disarmed private army in the mine. He waved to the elven cavalry behind him, signaling the cavalry to rush into the fortress.

The elven cavalry behind them passed Captain Hercules and rushed into the fortress.

Roy is also caught in the cavalry team. He is currently still a member of the 10th Reconnaissance Team, so he has priority for exploration.

Captain Jones led everyone on horseback and rushed into the castle gate. There were even a few fruit trees under the patio inside. This zigzag-shaped fortress was full of life, and the inner corridors continued to extend upwards. There were some clotheslines in the corridor, with some blood-stained bandages hanging on them.

Some mixed-blood elf women emerged from the terrace and looked at the group of elf cavalry in front of them with great anxiety.

There were even some wounded lying in the corridor on the ground floor, and the fortress was in a mess.

It was the first time for Roy to enter this kind of fortress with strong life elements. He quickly followed Captain Jones to the second floor. The rooms here should look like some dormitory colors. There are two single beds with bunk beds in the dormitory.

There are also weapons hanging on some walls, as well as some commemorative magical materials...

Roy imitated Captain Jones and drove the elves he found out of the room, leaving them standing in the corridor and silently enduring the interrogation of the cavalry vanguard group.

Roy has been looking for the entrance to this mine, but apart from two wells, there are only some green plants in the inner courtyard.

Roy didn't even find the entrance to the mine. To be honest, for such a mine, the entrance to the mine must not be small.

But now, Roy has not found the entrance to the mine at all...

On the second floor of the fortress, all the female elves in these rooms were driven out, and almost every room was made very messy.

"Your mine owner has announced his surrender. Please don't move now. Everyone waits where you are. If anyone doesn't follow our rules, we will put the troublemaking elves in an iron cage. In worse cases, we will kill them!"

Captain Jones kicked open a wooden door, and the mixed-blood elf lady inside was so scared that she clung to the wall. These elf ladies should all be servants.

Roy rushed outside the corridor and saw that the corridor was crowded with elven women.

In the courtyard on the first floor, there were still many elven warriors standing.

Some elf knights have already begun to count the number of elves in the mining site...

Roy followed Captain Jones to the third floor. The rooms here are slightly better. There is only one bed in each room. In addition, there are some furniture needed for daily life. Although these rooms are very simple, they are At least I have my own private room.

The elf attendants who lived in these rooms probably had some status in the fortress.

Some of the elf attendants didn't even realize what changes had happened outside. They screamed loudly when they saw the elf cavalry barging in rudely.

Then the Silver Moon elves will find a way to control these elven attendants...

The entire mine fortress was in chaos. As a large number of knights from the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment entered the fortress, the mine was quickly under control.

Groups of elven captives emerged from the fortress, and Captain Jones continued to search the rooms.

Roy stood at the door of the room and saw with his own eyes a group of elf warriors escorting a mine owner downstairs.

Captain Jones plundered a bag of orange-yellow unpolished gemstones from a desk. It seemed that these gemstones should have been found in the mine.

…

Captain Hercules stood in front of the owner of the Grantham Mine. Looking at the pampered mixed-blood elf, he stretched out his hand and patted the mine owner's fat face, and said to him: "I heard that you have been secretly asking the owner recently. Is it possible for a plateau headhunter to acquire a mixed-blood elf as a miner in a mine?"

The owner of Grantham Mine felt numb from being slapped on the face.

But at this time, his life was in the hands of the other commander, and Grantham did not dare to resist.

He forced out a bitter smile and said to Captain Hercules: "I don't know about other mine owners, but I definitely don't have one here. How could I do those illegal things?"

After saying that, the owner of Grantham Mine pretended to be very innocent and said to Captain Hercules: "Sir, are you and your soldiers coming to my mine just to check these things?"

Captain Hercules sneered.

"Since we went directly to the plateau to arrest you, it means we have conducted an investigation on you..."

"I swear I didn't. Although I have been slandered by other elves, I am still not prepared to make these boring excuses. I welcome you into the fortress just to explain these misunderstandings clearly..." The owner of Grantham Mine gushed. Jedi said.

After saying this, he took out a treasure box from the magic pocket on his body and carefully placed it at the feet of Captain Hercules. He carefully looked at the cold face of Captain Hercules and smiled. explain:

"This treasure box is a gift I gave you because I admire you, sir."

Captain Hercules didn't even look at the treasure chest at his feet, he raised his foot and stepped on it.

Then he ordered the elf cavalry beside him: "Take him away, find a room and lock him up..."

"Yes, leader!"

Two elven cavalry stepped forward and escorted the owner of the Grantham Mine away.

Captain Hercules had a gloomy face and led a group of elven cavalry to the top of the fortress, where there was also a group of mining private soldiers waiting to accept them.

The Silver Pegasus warriors guarded the highest point of the fortress and had completely controlled the situation here.

Captain Hercules walked around the top of the fortress and sighed to the adjutant beside him: "This fortress is very solidly built..."

"And there's a disguise outside. It's easy to ignore it if you don't know the details here." The adjutant agreed in a low voice.

"First imprison all the people in the mine, and we will officially take over the place." Captain Hercules said: "Arrange a part of the elven cavalry to station in the room of the fortress to find out how the mine operates."

"Yes, Commander." The adjutant agreed quickly.

Captain Hercules pinched the corners of his eyes tiredly and continued to ask the adjutant: "Have you found those mixed-blood elf miners?"

"We haven't found the entrance to the mine yet, I guess there will be definite news soon!" the adjutant said quickly.

…

At the same time, the 10th Reconnaissance Team, which had finished searching the third floor, did not continue going up.

Under the leadership of Captain Jones, the 10th Reconnaissance Team returned to the first floor, where a large group of elves from the mine gathered.

These elves were lining up and walking out. Among these mixed-blood elves, there were more maids than attendants. Everyone's eyes were full of panic, and some of the mixed-blood elves' maids were even so frightened that they had tears on their faces.

Captain Jones walked up to a half-blood elf who seemed to be in charge, asked him to stop, and asked him:

"Where is the entrance to the mine?"
