Path of light

Chapter 385 386. Kaka’s Thoughts

Roy didn't expect that Lysander would meet Kaka and bring him to the Pagisto Plateau.

Kaka didn't bring the gryphon this time.

There is no way, the Silver Pegasus warrior is still on the plateau.

If Kaka dares to ride the gryphon over, he will definitely be targeted by the Silver Pegasus warriors.

"Unexpectedly, I went to Barrier Town to ask about you and Woods, and I heard from the elves in the town that a pack team arrived in Barrier Town and said they were here to buy food for you. Then I went to ask them about you. I didn't expect it to be Lysander." Kaka said with a silly smile.

"I heard something about you from Lysander, so I came here with Lysander's pack team."

Kaka put one arm around Roy's neck, and the smile on his face could not be concealed.

Roy said to everyone in the yard: "Elves of the second mine, please return to your respective posts."

Upon hearing Roy's words, the mixed elves immediately dispersed.

The expansion project of the second mine has not yet been completed, and the mixed elves still need to do some finishing work.

Now the shaft passage has been expanded, but the elevator has not yet been built.

Many mixed-blood elves are also considering whether to stay in the second mine. If they go down to mine, they can still get a salary...

The horse team transporting wood arrived at the second mine a week ago, and now the roof of the stable has begun to be covered with moss.

The dwarf craftsman Putgis personally drew the drawings of the beams and skylights of the archery training ground. The architectural style of the dwarves is different from that of the elves. They do not pursue luxury, beauty and artistic flavor. The dwarves are accustomed to building houses that are strong and durable. The wood selections are all extremely heavy.

Moreover, there is an attic on the roof of the archery training ground. There are wooden stairs leading directly to the roof. There are fences on the edge, so you can lie on the roof and bask in the sun.

It's just that the wood brought by the mixed-blood elves is obviously not enough, because the gathering place seriously lacks transportation capacity.

There are timber everywhere in the mountains, but they just can’t be transported...

…

During Roy's absence, Mu Lin managed the second mine in an orderly manner.

The yard has become much cleaner and tidier, and many groceries piled in the yard have disappeared.

Roy led everyone to the second floor.

Walk along the corridor to the left. At the end of the corridor is the mine's restaurant.

The thick dark red door is carved with cliffs, woods, creeks and lakes. When the door is opened, there are five neat rows of long dining tables in the restaurant. The tabletops of the dining tables have been wiped clean, and there are water jugs on the table. and cups.

Boxes filled with fruits are lined up against the wall behind the restaurant.

Roy brought everyone into the restaurant. Everyone sat down around a long dining table, and then asked Lysander:

"Lesander, is the road from the Second Mine to Bulwark Town... easy to walk?"

After speaking, Roy took out a map from his pocket. On this map, the area around Padstow City and Rampart Town was described in great detail, but the Padstow Plateau only had some rough outlines. depiction.

During this time, Roy had already painted the mountain range of Spinel Mine on it.

Lysander took a charcoal pen handed over by Roy, started from the second mine, and slowly drew out a zigzag route, finally connecting to the barrier town.

"The route is roughly like this. Many places are engraved in my mind, but I can't draw it..." Lysander said: "This mountain road is okay for a pack team to walk, but a convoy cannot pass. The entire Pajis Due to the mountains surrounding the plateau, there is no road that can be used by horse-drawn carriages.”

"Lesander, can your pack team go back and forth between the Second Mine and Barrier Town once a month?" Roy asked.

"Barely enough, does the pack team carry this food every time?" When Lysander frowned, his face was full of wrinkles.

Roy nodded and said:

"Well, mainly food, you can also bring some other supplies. I need you to maintain this trade route. As long as your pack team can deliver the goods, the mine will naturally use your goods first. You can also The magic herbs and leather from Pagisto Plateau can be transported to Barrier Town, and I will arrange for the manpower to pick up the goods."

"It is crucial for us to open up this trade route!"

Roy added.

The moment the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion entered the Pagisto Plateau, this land had already been included in the territory of the elves.

But if you want the mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau to live a good life, they must rely on trade routes to transport the plateau's special products...

As long as there are caravans entering the Pagisto Plateau, the pressure on the logistics team's transportation team will not be that great.

What Lysander was thinking about was the magic herbal trade. He thought for a while before saying to Roy:

"The plateau headhunters have been driven to the northern mountainous area of ​​the plateau by the Silver Pegasus Legion. Our resistance army is about to be disbanded, so we no longer need to use magic herbs to exchange weapons... Many young soldiers have been brought to the plateau by Mu Lin. Second Mine.”

Mu Lin said to Lysander very proudly:

"After the Silver Pegasus Legion withdraws from the Pagisto Plateau, our mine guards will continue to fight against the plateau headhunters."

Lysander said: "We formed the Resistance Army in the first place to prevent the plateau headhunters from wantonly arresting the mixed elves."

He set his sights on the map. A large area to the north of Pagisto Plateau was completely blank...

He made no secret of the embarrassing situation at the gathering place, and kept sighing as he said:

"Roy, we actually know that plateau headhunters sell the captured mixed-blood elves to various mines, but we have been unable to rescue our compatriots in the mines. Now Roy, what you are doing is... Something we’ve only dreamed of.”

Seeing Roy about to interrupt, Lysander waved his hand, with a soft look on his face, and continued:

"This time I also saw the group of children I sent there in Barrier Town. I left them a little money. They live in the tree house in Barrier Town. The older children can still find something to do every day, no matter what. Whether it’s a big one or a small one, you can always get a bite to eat every day.”

Lysander has been staying at the second mine for two days just to meet Roy.

Now I heard Roy say that his pack team has been transporting various supplies between Pajisto Plateau and Barrier Town.

He and Roy confirmed that the next shipment would still be some food, and then they left the second mine with the pack team before dark.

In addition to visiting Rambo, Lysander also wanted to send some food to the first mine.

…

The second mine in Kaka's eyes is still full of novelties.

After having a simple fruit meal in the restaurant, Kaka ran to an arrow tower at the corner of the fortress wall, from where he could overlook the wilderness on the north side.

The light of dusk dyed the grassland in the distance a layer of pale gold. In the distance, a herd of one-horned bison was slowly moving on the grassland, and some predators also appeared in the dusk.

Roy has lived alone on the plateau for more than three months. Here, he doesn't even have any friends to chat with.

Kaka's ability to run over surprised Roy...

Kaka wore a pair of rough leather armor.

This time he ran to the fortress town. In addition to inquiring about Roy, he also wanted to buy some rivets and thin threads specially used by leatherworkers from the grocery store to make the leather armor more refined.

He squinted at the mixed-blood elves busy on the archery training ground, turned to Roy and said:

"Roy, I heard that you were rescuing the mixed elves here on the Pagisto Plateau, so I thought I would come over and have a look anyway, but I didn't expect that it was exactly what they said. You are really cool now! "

"Actually, it was the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion that really rescued these mixed elves. It was the Silver Pegasus warriors who drove away the plateau headhunters and recovered these mines. I am only dealing with the follow-up of a few of these mines. Work." Roy explained to Kaka seriously.

Kaka curled his lips and said with some disdain:

"How could the Silver Moon elves be so kind!"

"In my opinion, those Silver Moon elves just want to occupy these mines, and they have not returned freedom to the mixed-blood elves."

"The one who truly gave freedom to these mixed-blood elves was you, Roy!"

When Kaka said these words, his eyes became bright.

"Now I finally understand how these Silver Pegasus warriors fight. These Silver Pegasus warriors have no advantage when fighting on the jungle battlefield, but when fighting in a place with a wide field of vision like the Pagisto Plateau, the opponent is also on a plateau. Natives, as long as the commander doesn't have a clear head, it's hard to lose!"

"Roy, after the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion withdraws from Pagisto Plateau, I will come to help you. I can also ride a gryphon to scout around in the sky..."

Kaka narrowed his eyes and said longingly.

"Okay, you must come and help me when the time comes. I estimate that I will have to manage several mines. As long as you can help me, I can closely connect these mines and build a line of defense against plateau headhunters... ..." Roy said standing next to Kaka.

Now he also understands the big gap between the Elf Cavalry and the Silver Pegasus Chapter. He does not expect Earl Swinburne to leave a Silver Pegasus team on the Pagisto Plateau, but if Kaka can come, At least the movements of headhunters on the plateau within a hundred miles can be detected.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Mu Lin appeared at the top of the stairs.

Roy looked back at her and asked, "Mu Lin, what happened?"

Mulin walked next to Roy and whispered: "Recently, the gray dwarves in the mine have been handing in fewer and fewer spinels every day. Recently, these gray dwarves have had two conflicts with the Dark Moon Elf overseers. .”

The gray dwarves in the second mine have always been a hidden danger to Roy.

There has always been a trade between Roy and these gray dwarves in exchange for fine wine in exchange for spinels.

Roy knew that this kind of deal would not last long.

Roy rubbed his brows. He knew that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"If you don't mention this matter, I will also find a chance to deal with this trouble. Now that the mine is in our hands, we have no reason to make deals with them anymore. The gray dwarves in the other two mines are all doing their best. Real mining, only the gray dwarves in the second mine are special, I will have a good talk with them tomorrow."

Roy said casually.

"There is another letter from the military headquarters in the valley camp urging you to take over the mithril mine and black iron mine as soon as possible." Mulin reminded Roy.

"After the gray dwarf matter is settled, I will take some manpower to the mithril mine. It is estimated that I will have to recruit some mixed elf warriors from the second mine." Roy patted his forehead and said.

"You can choose any of the elf warriors I have here, and I will find a way to replenish the manpower when the time comes." Mu Lin said cheerfully.

…

Roy chose the most direct method to manage the group of gray dwarf bandits in the second mine.

The next morning, Roy took Mu Lin and a group of mixed elf warriors into the mine.

Captains Timothy and Tennyson also summoned all the Dark Moon Elves in the mine. In the past, the Dark Moon Elves did not want to break through the mine full of traps because they did not want any casualties to occur to the Dark Moon Elves.

But now that the Dark Moon elves have Roy's support, the traps in the mines are no longer a problem...

Roy brought the fully armed mixed-blood elf warriors and dark moon elf warriors to the place where he was trading with the gray dwarves. He looked at the barely scraped gem mine with a straight face, which even contained some gem slag.

Roy squatted in front of a large wooden barrel and picked out the slag inside with his own hands.

The gray dwarf Dasher stood next to the cart, feeling his face a little hot, but when he thought of the barrel of rum opposite, he could only bite the bullet and said to Roy with a playful smile:

"This gemstone vein will eventually be dug out. Recently, the ore we mined from the vein is of this color. In a few days, the ore of this color may not be seen anymore. There is nothing we can do about it!"

Roy narrowed his eyes at Dasher.

The brothers Malanduo and Magdy, who were in charge of transporting the ore, saw Roy's sharp eyes and quickly stopped in a sensible manner.

In order to dig out enough gem mines, more than half of the gray dwarves are currently mining in every corner of the mine. The total number of gray dwarves guarding the dwarf bunker will not exceed thirty.

Although Marandu and Magdy are two idiots, they know very well what they have done recently.

Seeing that the mine boss came to the door in person, and that guy Dasher was still trying to quibble, the gray dwarf brothers were a little flustered...

The two brothers put down the wine barrels filled with gemstones in their hands, and if the other party suddenly made a move, they went into the dwarf mine.

Roy looked at Dasher with a sneer. He stepped on the round wooden barrel with one foot and said condescendingly to Dasher:

"Dwarf gentlemen, I came underground this time not to continue the wine-for-ore deal with you, but to issue a mine notice with infinite indignation: In view of your unilateral violation of the agreement between the two parties, the gems paid The mine has repeatedly been passed off as good, so I think the transaction between us can be suspended."
