Path of light

Chapter 343 344. The disappeared headhunter

A flash of white lighted up on the sky, the night sky was still dark blue, and the stars gradually faded away.

There were cries of killing outside, including the strange roars of plateau headhunters, the shouts of elven warriors, the neighing of war horses, and the clash of weapons, which was chaotic and confusing.

The owner of the Grantham mine lifted off the blanket and got up from the mattress.

He hid at the tent door and peeked out for a moment, then took out a small gold dagger from his trousers.

The two wives of the Grantham mine owner were trembling with fear and hurriedly hid in the corners of the tent.

Two elf warriors were guarding the owner of the Grantham mine, and were also peeping at the situation outside. Some plateau headhunters relied on their flexible skills to roll and jump around the camp. They wore gray leather armor, which made it easy for them to run. It turned into a gray shadow.

Those elf warriors hurriedly fought, and from time to time, an elf warrior would fall down covered in blood, covering his white body with a thin sheet.

The Grantham mine owner had obviously seen the big scene, and was not frightened by the melee outside. Instead, he grabbed the dagger and walked out of the tent.

As the Grantham mine owner walked out of the tent, a group of private soldiers from the mine also got out of the tent.

Following the Grantham mine owner's order, the private soldiers in the mine rushed towards the elf warriors around them. Usually several private soldiers in the mine knocked down one elf warrior, and everyone worked together to suppress the elf warrior. , then grabbed the weapons in their hands and stabbed these elf warriors to death.

The private soldiers who grabbed the armor and swords rushed to the front. They were specifically looking for those elven warriors who were alone.

A group of unarmed private soldiers from the mine quickly dealt with more than a dozen elf warriors, and immediately there were elf warriors running towards them.

…

The Silver Moon Elf warriors discovered that the private soldiers from the mines in the prison camp had joined the battle and pointed their spears at their own side.

Originally, these elf warriors were suppressed by the plateau headhunters. These elf warriors with weapons in their hands were just struggling to support them. Now, these private soldiers from the mines suddenly rushed up from behind.

The defense line just formed by the elf warriors of the logistics group was instantly overrun by the private army in the mine.

The plateau headhunters wore black totem patterns on their faces and carried war blades in their hands. They were so agile that they were writhing around the camp.

When the headhunters saw the private soldiers in the mine leaving the camp, they came towards the private soldiers in the mine.

The owner of the Grantham mine emerged from the camp with a group of private soldiers from the mine, and attacked the plateau headhunters from both inside and outside, killing the elf warriors of the logistics group and retreating steadily in the camp.

Captain Berkeley was covered in blood. He led a team of elf warriors to fight a bloody path through the camp, trying to get all the members of the logistics team to come closer to him.

The plateau headhunters gathered around the perimeter to intercept and kill them. In just a quarter of an hour, the camp was littered with corpses.

Captain Berkeley regretted a little. When he left the mine fortress, Captain Yalig asked him if he wanted to escort him...their reconnaissance team soldiers could properly send the logistics group to the valley camp. This matter was The leader of the Berkeley group politely declined.

A bleeding hole appeared on Captain Berkeley's waist, and the fabric below the waist was almost stained red with his blood.

He took out a bottle of life potion from his waist bag, bit open the cork with his teeth, and poured it into his stomach.

Then he took out a bottle of potion of the power of the Lion King from his magic pocket and poured it into his stomach without hesitation. He kicked over a private soldier from the mine who was flying toward him, and used his elf sword to strike at this place with his backhand. A wound appeared on the body of a private soldier.

Captain Berkeley wiped the blood flowing from his forehead and rushed towards the north side of the camp again.

Captain Berkeley couldn't tell how many plateau headhunters were attacking the camp, but he knew that there were three hundred people in the mining private army alone...

The private army of the mine and the elven headhunters joined together and massacred people in the camp.

Seeing the elf warriors falling one after another, Captain Berkeley felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. Now it was no longer... whether he could defeat the headhunters on the plateau, but how to escape from this battlefield where defeat was certain.

Several cronies gathered around Captain Berkeley, and behind them was a large group of blood-soaked elf warriors.

Captain Berkeley shouted as he walked, and quickly reorganized a group of defeated elf warriors. Under his leadership, these elf warriors formed a line of defense in the camp, and everyone retreated towards the valley camp.

The headhunters mounted the argali sheep and chased them all the way...

An orange magic signal bomb exploded into countless fragments in the night sky and dissipated in the night sky a few seconds later.

"Don't worry about the other companions, just keep up with me!"

Captain Berkeley shouted at the top of his voice, and then continued to rush north.

The plateau headhunters are like sharks surrounding a school of fish, constantly devouring the elf warriors.

Captain Berkeley quickly asked the other elf warriors to continue walking north, while he covered the wound on his waist and stabbed a headhunter who jumped over with his long sword, and the long sword passed through the headhunter's thigh...

…

The battle lasted until the sky was completely bright. The elven warriors at the valley camp finally saw the signal for help. A group of cavalry warriors rushed out from the valley. They were wearing silver armor and rushed toward the camp like a whirlwind. The battlefield on the other side.

Captain Berkeley stopped when he saw the reinforcements of Silver Moon Elf warriors appearing in his field of vision.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen blood holes on his body. The reason why he could continue to fight was all because of his own breath, in addition to drinking a bottle of high-quality life potion.

The few personal guards around him were also covered in blood...

Captain Berkeley stopped. He thrust the long sword in his hand into the chest of a private soldier in the mine, and he could never pull the sword out.

The whole person fell to the ground, and the two plateau headhunters almost stepped on his body and chased the other elf warriors.

A strange whistle sounded on the battlefield, and all the plateau headhunters stopped. They called for their mounts one after another. A large group of argali sheep caught up from behind. The heads of the plateau headhunters hung on their waists were filled with the heads of elf warriors. He jumped on the back of the argali, turned around and retreated towards the mine.

Plateau headhunters are like a whirlwind, coming and going as quickly as they come.

The owner of the Grantham mine led a group of private soldiers from the mine and snatched some horses in the chaotic camp. The elven private soldiers got on their horses and followed the owner of the Grantham mine, retreating towards the headhunting plateau. chased in the direction.

A group of elven warriors who were lucky enough to survive could no longer support their exhausted bodies and sat on the ground one after another.

The reinforcements from the valley camp rushed to the battlefield here and saw the mess on the ground and the shocking scenes everywhere. The cavalry captain who came with reinforcements quickly ordered his men: "Hurry and save people!"

Then he saw a group of elven warriors surrounding a corpse. The cavalry captain had recognized that the corpse lying on the ground with his face covered in blood was none other than Captain Berkeley of the Logistics Regiment.

"How could this happen?" an elf cavalry captain asked loudly.

"A group of plateau headhunters... came out of nowhere. They took advantage of us sleeping and took away the prisoners from the mine. They also launched an attack on us." An elf warrior from the logistics team was covered in blood. answer.

"Damn it, you guys wait here for the rescue, we will chase you!" The cavalry captain was filled with anger and led his cavalrymen to chase down the square where the plateau headhunters disappeared.

…

The plateau headhunters ran along the mountain road for more than ten kilometers and came to the edge of a mountain ridge. They quickly rushed into the rocky slope of the mountain.

These plateau headhunters returned with a full load, and they couldn't even wait to run to a safe area to see the trophies they had collected.

The headhunter captain wiped the blood from the war blade in his hand before putting the war blade into its scabbard.

A group of plateau headhunters also jumped off the argali.

The owner of the Grantham mine led the mine's private army to follow closely and came to the rocky beach.

A group of private soldiers wearing stolen armor and holding standard weapons surrounded the owner of Grantham Mine. With these private soldiers, the owner of Grantham Mine became obviously tougher.

After he dismounted, he walked directly to the plateau headhunting captain and thanked him.

The plateau headhunting captain's face looked like a ghost painting, revealing an indescribable weird smile. He patted the Grantham mine owner on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue to follow the team and walk into the mountains.

At this moment, the Grantham mine owner was already weak. If it weren't for the strong support of the guards, he would have been unable to hold on and sat down on the ground.

The Grantham mine owner and his private army could only continue to follow the plateau headhunters into the mountains. Many headhunters stood on the ridges of the mountains, looking at the sky around them. Once there were Silver Pegasus warriors flying over their heads, the elf headhunters would They will hide in the shadow of the rocks.

Finally, after walking for a while, the Grantham mine owner entered a very secret cave.

Although the entrance of the cave is not too big, the interior space is very large, and there are some stalactites everywhere in the cave.

Argali sheep and war horses can be led into the cave. It seems that this is the hiding place of this group of plateau headhunters.

There are traces of life in the cave. A group of plateau headhunters left the argali aside and counted the trophies they could possess.

The Grantham mine owner dragged his almost unconscious legs across the plateau headhunters and came to the headhunter. He first expressed his gratitude to the headhunter whose face was engraved with black magic patterns. .

The owner of Grantham Mine had seen this headhunter.

When the mine owners united and invited headhunters to catch the mixed elves, they had met this headhunter captain.

The headhunting captain also seemed to be dissatisfied with their performance. He frowned and said to the owner of Grantham Mine:

"What happened? Do you know how many outstanding headhunters we lost this time when the Silver Moon Elf Legion entered the Pagisto Plateau!"

When the owner of Grantham Mine saw those stern eyes, his legs began to cramp involuntarily.

How did he know that the Silver Moon Elf Legion would come to the plateau, and now even his mines have been occupied by the Silver Moon Elf Legion, making him a completely homeless pitiful man.

"My losses are not small. I have lost all my mines. Now I just want to take back the mines. I will get back what belongs to me first, and then escape... Are you interested?" Gran The owner of Seum Mine said.

The headhunter of the plateau rolled his eyes. He immediately said:

"Then it depends on what else you can come up with?"

The owner of the Grantham mine said without hesitation: "I can get a lot of high-quality gemstones ore. As long as we successfully recapture the mine this time, I can give you a whole box of gemstones..."

When the plateau headhunter heard the word gem, he immediately became energetic and said:

"Okay, it's settled. After this job, I'm going to run away. Only those who are full will become enemies of the Silver Moon Elf's Silver Pegasus Army."

Then, the headhunter paused again, and then said viciously:

"When we get back... let's show these Silver Moon elves a little more color."

The Grantham mine owner also said: "We have just defeated their logistics troops. It is estimated that there will be many Silver Pegasus warriors looking for us everywhere. Let me tell you... we are standing on the cusp of the storm now, it is better to hide here. Last a while.”

The headhunter calmed down at this time, and he said decisively: "Don't think about other things for now, let's take back the mine first..."

…

Roy was guarding the mine gate in the spinel mine. He didn't know yet that the logistics team had been hijacked by plateau headhunters.

At noon, Roy took Lambo to practice martial arts in the corridor. Obviously Lambo was his sparring partner...

The mine fortress was deserted. Before any reinforcements arrived, there were probably less than two hundred elves in the fortress. These elf warriors lived in the huge fortress and could be seen almost all the time except when dining in the restaurant. Little communication.

Roy sat next to Captain Jones, chewing an apple, and said to Captain Jones:

"Captain Jones, how long are we going to stay here?"

"What's wrong, are you a little tired of life here in the mine?" Captain Jones had an orange in his hand. He peeled the orange and said with a smile.

"It's just that there are too few elf warriors living in the fortress, so I always feel unsafe." Roy answered honestly.

"There is nothing to worry about. There is a Silver Pegasus regiment on the plateau. As long as we send out a distress signal in time when we encounter trouble, the Silver Pegasus soldiers will soon come to support..." Captain Jones said confidently said.

"Yes, Roy! There are Silver Pegasus warriors who can support you at any time. Roy, what are you still worrying about?" Other elf warriors of the 10th Reconnaissance Team also echoed Captain Jones.

"Just manage the mining in the mine well. It seems to be okay now. The gray dwarves inside seem to be very active." Captain Jones said with satisfaction.

"It's okay now. I hope the logistics team can bring some more rum." Roy said.

"I have already mentioned this to Master Yalig... Don't worry, it won't take long for the logistics team to deliver the supplies." Captain Jones patted his chest and said, "Roy, I heard that Lord Yalig wants to let you Be the mine owner here."
