Path of light

Chapter 397 398. Full evacuation

Captain Berkeley brought a large amount of supplies this time. In addition to the supplies on horseback, Captain Berkeley's magic waist bag also contained a thousand sets of military supplies. Compared with these military supplies, the food carried by the pack team It seems a bit insignificant.

Roy finally knew that Captain Berkeley was not just talking. He really transported all the military supplies in the valley camp to the North Mithril Mine, and handed them over to Roy in person.

The value of this part of military supplies is at least around 100,000 magic crystals...

It can be seen that the Silver Pegasus Legion is really preparing to evacuate the Pajisto Plateau, and even leaves a little hastily.

Roy guessed that the situation of Queen Egweni's group was deteriorating rapidly, and the Silver Pegasus Army needed to quickly return to defense.

Captain Berkeley and his logistics department will also leave Pagisto Plateau, and the logistics supply chain of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion will be completely cut off.

There are currently no caravans on the Pagisto Plateau, so material supply will become the biggest problem. Fortunately, Roy has taken some precautionary measures in advance. Lysander's pack team has already gone to Barrier Town to transport the second batch of supplies. This time Roy Yi hopes he can bring back more food.

The supplies brought by the pack team were being moved into the warehouse box by box.

Roy stood beside Captain Berkeley and said to him:

"With you gone, how will the supply of supplies be solved?"

Captain Berkeley looked at Roy with a smile and said casually: "Don't tell me that you haven't found a mixed-blood elf transport team and asked them to transport it here from Padstow City. I can issue a special pass for them. Ensure smooth traffic within Padstow City.”

With that said, Captain Berkeley took out a document from his arms and handed it to Roy.

Obviously, Lysander's pack team has long been in the sight of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

Roy took over this special pass, which was regarded as a trade license during a special period.

"I will write a letter to Lysander and ask him to bring more fruits and sea fish to meet the food needs of these mines first." Roy said, and then added: "In addition, I need to increase the amount of fish, wheat flour, and alcohol. The supply of these materials is very difficult to find in Padstow City.”

"Leave this matter to me. I will ask the logistics department's material transport ship to transport the materials to Padstow City. You can ask Lysander to take this voucher and go to the material warehouse in Padstow City. You can buy it, but you must remember to bring money. It is more convenient to pay with magic crystal." Captain Berkeley said to Roy.

Roy nodded. Since he has three gem mines and two mithril mines in his hands, he doesn't have to worry about not having magic crystals.

But then Roy said: "Captain Berkeley, there is one more thing I need your help with. There are not enough miners in the Mithril Mine. I need the military to provide a group of gray dwarf prisoners of war to supplement them."

Captain Berkeley glanced at Roy and readily agreed:

"That's no problem. To be honest, the military's prisoner-of-war camp in the Queen Egwene Islands is already full of gray dwarves. The laws of the Silver Moon Kingdom do not allow the removal of these gray dwarf prisoners of war who only bask in the sun after being fed every day. It can only be raised in a prisoner-of-war camp. You have such a demand, which is exactly what the prisoner-of-war camp wants. How many gray dwarf prisoners of war can you digest at once?"

Roy calculated it and said, "One thousand gray dwarf prisoners of war."

Captain Berkeley agreed directly without any hesitation: "Yes, but according to the regiment's management system for prisoners of war, Roy, you must write a report on the conditions of these prisoners of war every quarter. If there are any injuries or deaths, you must List them separately, the picket department is still very concerned about these, don't write too perfunctorily."

"Okay." Roy didn't expect that these gray dwarf prisoners of war were managed so strictly.

Captain Berkeley stood at the door of the warehouse, patted Roy on the shoulder, and said to him seriously:

"Roy, the withdrawal happened a bit suddenly. The plateau headhunters probably haven't reacted yet. Once they realize that all the main forces of the Silver Pegasus Legion have withdrawn from Pagisto, these headhunters should come back soon. So we need to form a guard team as soon as possible.”

"In addition, what I'm most worried about is that the mixed-blood elf warriors in the guard have not received formal training. They have never even been on the battlefield. They are no match for the plateau headhunters. After forming the guard, it is also a top priority to strengthen daily military training. Don't underestimate it. It captures the keen sense of smell of those plateau headhunters.”

"This time, I brought over almost all the military supplies stored in the valley camp."

"Of course, some of the supplies will be distributed to other mines. Roy, I suggest you contact the other mine owners appropriately."

Roy nodded and agreed: "I will make time to contact you."

"The Legion's hasty departure this time may leave a lot of hidden dangers. The higher-ups realize that the Partington plane also needs to establish a certain defense force, so the policy given by the military is very broad. Considering the situation of the Partington plane, Most of the residents are mixed-blood elves. If you form a mixed-blood elven guard team now, you can easily obtain an official military number." Captain Berkeley lowered his voice and said: "In the past, this would have been impossible... …”

Roy didn't feel that there was any difference from now. The combined number of his several mines now has nearly a thousand mixed elf warriors, and they are fully equipped with weapons and armors. This time Captain Berkeley brought another thousand sets of military supplies. , apparently still encouraged him to expand the military strength of the guard.

Fortunately, the guard team formed can obtain an official number, and the several mines in hand can fully afford this huge expenditure.

"Can all mixed-blood elves on the Partington plane be recruited?" Roy asked casually.

"Yeah. But it can't be a slave trader. Once this person is found out, he will definitely be sent to the trial..." Captain Berkeley sat down on the corridor railing at the entrance of the warehouse.

Roy felt that Captain Berkeley must have obtained the documents from the military department, so he asked him:

"It is easy to form a mixed-blood elf guard, but it is difficult to get recognition from the military. I have lived in Castletown City for so long and I have never heard that half-blood elves can form an army. Is there any official document?"

"You are really careful, but the Half-Blood Elf Guard can only operate on the Partington plane." After Captain Berkeley finished speaking, he took out a magic parchment scroll from his arms, and it was Yin Fei on it. Authorization and seal of the Cavalry Corps Military Department.

Roy's heart moved slightly, he took the parchment scroll and smiled.

"Considering some of the expenses involved in setting up a mixed-blood elf guard here in the mine, the military agrees that you can use the resources of the mine. For example, you can sell some spinel and mithril ingots to pay for the military salary of the mixed-blood elf guard."

"To give you a suggestion, you'd better make a report for each transaction. Before the opening of the Partington plane, it's best to have detailed records of each transaction." The leader of Berkeley said a few more heartfelt words in the end. Zi's ​​words.

"Got it." Roy agreed.

…

Captain Berkeley's pack team only stayed at the Mithril Mine for one night, and took the pack team to the Dorogi Wasteland the next morning.

Roy got up from bed early and saw off Captain Berkeley's logistics team.

Accompanying them will be Harold the mine owner and his family, who will follow the pack team in a large circle in Dorogi Wasteland, and then return to Padstow City. Harold the mine owner will go to Padstow. Stowe goes to trial.

His family members will also be examined in Padstow City, and not all family members will be sentenced.

First, Harold, the owner of the mine, gave Roy some good advice.

In addition, although he conducted the elf slave trade, he learned from some half-blood elves that the owner of Harold's mine was actually quite good to these half-blood elf miners. As long as they worked hard, they would have food...

So when Harold's mine owners were leaving, Roy allowed them to take some personal belongings, such as jewelry, paintings, artworks, magic pattern structures, excellent magic weapons, etc. (excluding magic crystals and magic metals) ingot).

This will at least allow them to maintain some dignity that a mine owner deserves in Padstow...

Harold, the mine owner, rode a horse with the support of his two sons. Before leaving, he turned around and glanced at Roy. Although the two did not communicate, Harold's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Captain Berkeley hugged Roy.

"Don't underestimate those plateau headhunters. Hercules's cavalry vanguard group has not been able to defeat them. Once the opponent comes fiercely, you must know the choice!" Captain Berkeley whispered to Roy.

He was afraid that Roy would cling to a few mines and be eaten up to the bone by plateau headhunters.

"Be careful too."

Roy said to Captain Berkeley.

Captain Berkeley got on his horse, took the reins, turned around and waved to Roy, and then followed the pack team who was walking ahead.

Roy also began to prepare for the trip.

If the three black iron mines cannot be taken over within five days, the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group stationed at the black iron mines may abandon the black iron mines and forcibly evacuate from the hinterland of the Pagisto Plateau.

By then, Roy may have to clean up the mess in the mine over there...

…

In early April 1407 in the Silver Moon Kingdom,

The main force of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, the Silver Pegasus Chapter, suddenly entered the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane and swept across the entire Pagisto Plateau in a month.

At the end of April 1407 in the Silver Moon Kingdom,

All the mines on the Pagisto Plateau were occupied by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, and the plateau headhunters took refuge in the land of the Gazan ancestors in the deep valleys of the northern mountains.

Subsequently, the main force of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion quickly evacuated from the Pagisto Plateau.

The infantry regiment gradually withdrew from the battlefield on the Pagisto Plateau over the next week...

At this time, Earl Swinburne had left the Partington plane and went to the Queen Egwene Islands to take charge of the overall situation.
