Path of light

Chapter 432 433. Roy’s Waiting

Roy found that these young headhunters were not very smart. They were very brave when fighting, but the more brave and fearless they were, the faster they died.

The forest glade was filled with the corpses of young headhunters. When the old headhunter was dying, his cloudy eyes could only look at the sky...

Only he knew that these young people had heard too much about the glorious deeds of their fathers, so they were a little blind and arrogant about their abilities. They called the mixed elves in the southern plateau pigs, because the headhunters in the village thought that catching a mixed elf would be enough. It's as simple as catching a wild boar.

But now retribution has finally come. These mixed-blood elves look very young, but each of them has unique skills...

The old headhunter looked helplessly into the distance. He wanted to alert other headhunters in some villages, but now he could do nothing but wait for death.

The blood slowly flowed out of his body. He was a little cold. The sky in front of him was quickly darkening, and his body's perception was gradually weakening...

He knew he was about to die, and he wanted to call out one last time to see if there were any survivors around him, but he couldn't even make a sound.

A long time ago, he warned the headhunters in the village, but in order to get the reward from the mine owner, those headhunters did not listen to his warning at all. Later, the headhunters discovered that the headhunters living in the southern part of the plateau did not seem to have the same problem. It's so scary, they don't even know how to fight back.

At the beginning, the headhunters were careful not to catch the mixed-blood elves. Later, they found that the mixed-blood elves seemed to be very easy to catch, and then the matter spread quickly.

In recent years, the adult headhunters in the village have captured many half-blood elves, and they sell them to the mines.

The old headhunter knew that the mixed-blood elves would never let this matter get worse. Sure enough, an elven army appeared on the plateau two months ago. They rode silver pegasus and rushed to the land of the ancestors of Gazan, almost killing them. Capture the ancestral land of the Headhunters.

No one expected that the group of Silver Moon Elf warriors would quickly evacuate the Pagisto Plateau overnight.

So the headhunters living in the northern part of the plateau got together, and many headhunters came forward to propose retaliation against the headhunters in the southern part of the plateau.

This matter has won the approval of all headhunters...

The old headhunter couldn't remember anymore. His eyes and pupils began to dilate, and even his breathing had stopped.

…

Roy failed to obtain any information from these headhunters. The battle just now filled everyone in the adventure group with the smell of blood.

When Kaka and little Eugene and their friends came to pick up the adventure group and left, the griffins seemed very restless...

"Roy, what's wrong with you? Did you just encounter trouble?"

Kaka asked with concern when he saw that Roy was covered in blood and Sabrina and Woods were not much better.

"I met a group of young headhunters and had a fight with them in the woods. After taking over, it became like this."

Roy lowered his head and saw that the magic pattern structure on his body was spattered with blood, and said rather helplessly.

"Did you go to the Headhunter Village to investigate?"

The griffin jumped into the air with all four legs at the same time, flapped its wings violently twice and then took off into the air. Kaka hugged the griffin's neck and turned to ask Roy.

"I've been there. Their village is very simple. Almost all headhunters are used to living in tree holes and lighting a bonfire in the forest clearing..." Roy introduced Kaka to the headhunter village. What I saw and heard.

"The life of these headhunters seems to be very backward!" Kaka couldn't help but sigh.

Every time the griffon flaps its wings, its head stretches forward. Flying at low altitude consumes some energy, so it rushes up into the wind layer. As the griffon rises rapidly, Roy can see the entire outline of the mountain clearly again.

"Yes, it is like that……"

Roy replied.

…

Roy figured out that there were not a large number of headhunters lurking at the north pass of the Tianpu Canyon, so he asked the mine guards to leave the temporary camp at the south pass and pass through the Tianpu Canyon. The mine guards stationed their camp in the Tianpu Canyon. On a grassy slope outside Beishan Pass.

Half-blood elf warriors set up nearly five hundred tents on this slope.

All the mixed elf warriors were ready for battle, but Roy did not issue a battle order.

In addition to the gryphon regiment that goes out to scout for intelligence every day, the mixed elf warriors of the mine guard team conduct some basic training in the camp almost every day, and the combat plan has not yet been issued...

The mixed elf warriors in the entire camp were speculating on what Boss Roy wanted to do.

In fact, Roy has been waiting for news from Captain Herrick these days...

He didn't take the mine guard into the northern plateau wilderness to clean up the headhunter villages in the mountains, because he didn't want the mixed elf warriors to kill too much...

Now the young headhunters in the headhunter village are a little too blindly confident and regard the half-blood elves as pigs.

Once the mine guards appear on the northern plateau at this time, those young headhunters will inevitably resist desperately. This is not what Roy wants to see.

So he is waiting silently. It is estimated that it won't be long before the news of Captain Helic's campaign in the northern part of the plateau will reach here...

No matter what, these young headhunters must be in awe.

Roy prepares to do his best to reduce the killing...

…

Obviously, the headhunters who escaped from Tianpu Canyon did not tell the news of their defeat to the villages in the northern part of the plateau.

Most of the headhunter community is still in the dark.

Only those headhunter villages where headhunters fled home from Tianpu Canyon learned the inside story. They were actually the first batch of headhunters to move from the northern plateau to the land of the ancestors of Gazan.

At first, only a few of these villages evacuated northward.

In the wilderness to the north and west of the plateau, many headhunter villages migrated north.

Captain Herrick led a group of rebel soldiers, riding argali sheep and rushing around in the wilderness. He had to clear out some headhunter villages almost every day, making the northwest region of the plateau a mess. A large number of young headhunters gradually realized that , it turns out that the mixed-blood elf warrior is so terrifying...

The mixed-blood elf warriors charged all the way.

The young headhunters fled in all directions, and news of the defeat of the headhunters in the Ghazi Mountains and the Kartim Mountains began to spread in the northern part of the plateau.

A large number of headhunters want to take refuge in the ancestral land of Gazan.

Although the mine guards at the camp on the north slope of Tianpu Canyon did not participate in the battle, the headhunter villages in the surrounding mountains were retreating northward.

All the headhunters in many villages have fled.

…

Woods didn't understand why Roy always stood still and allowed the headhunters in the surrounding mountains to evacuate north.

In fact, there were a lot of doubts in the military camp. The elf warriors of the mine guard army were gearing up in the camp, hoping that Roy could take them with him to have a good fight with the headhunters.

A letter of invitation was sent to Roy, but it always fell into the sea without any response.

That afternoon, Woods completed the training with the mixed elf warrior, and then came to Roy's tent. Seeing that Roy was still drawing some incomprehensible lines on the map, Woods asked curiously:

"Roy, what are you doing? When can we go out and eliminate the headhunters in the surrounding villages?" Woods asked after sitting down.

Roy put down the quill in his hand, gently rubbed his sore shoulders, and patiently explained to Woods:

"If they don't escape, once our mine guards kill them, many headhunters will be injured and surrender. If they are captured, I may have to build a new prisoner-of-war camp, and then we will need mixed-blood elf warriors to guard them. "

"The number of these mixed-blood elf warriors in my hands is very limited. Where can I find the manpower to manage the prisoner of war camp? It is better to let them leave, so that... we can follow their footprints and find other headhunters. As long as we keep driving them northward, we can still follow their footsteps to find the land of the ancestors of Gazan."

Woods didn't expect Roy to have such an idea.

"This idea really makes sense." Woods said to Roy.

…

Padstow City, Silver Pegasus Legion Military Headquarters Meeting Room.

"The war in the Queen Egwene Islands may continue for a while. As we expected, after those gray dwarf bandits occupied the outer islands of the Queen Egwene Islands, they began to build defenses on the islands and dug underground holes to wait for them. Completely occupying these outer desert islands, the Silver Pegasus warriors will pose no threat to them, and the subsequent battles will become increasingly difficult to fight!"

An officer held a piece of information and briefed everyone in the conference room on the war situation in the Queen Egwene Islands.

The chief logistics officer sat at the main seat in the conference room. It was not until the officer finished speaking that he slowly opened his eyes and asked:

"What military supplies are currently lacking over there?"

"There is no shortage of anything at the moment, except for the priests of the Moon Temple. If those priests can fight with the army, the battle for the island may be easier." The officer continued to explain.

The chief of logistics nodded and turned to ask another officer: "How is the battle situation on the Pajisto Plateau?"

"Currently, Roy's mine owner's guard has entered the northern part of the plateau through the Tianpu Canyon, and the headhunter villages in the northern part of the plateau are migrating northward on a large scale." The officer stood up and explained.

The chief of logistics thought that Roy had just taken back a few mines that had been seized by headhunters, but the actual situation was not...

"So, his mine guard team has already entered the northern part of the plateau?"

"That's about it!" the officer said cautiously.

"So in terms of military supplies, what are the requirements for those on the Pagisto Plateau?" the logistics chief asked after pondering for a moment.

"Not yet. In addition to standard armaments, they have only applied for some armaments that are easily lost in battle. We have never been responsible for supplying food and potions..."

The officer from the logistics department explained.

The chief of logistics nodded and did not continue to ask further questions.

…

At this moment, Roy was leading the mine guards to a mine in the northern part of the plateau.

Under the investigation of the Griffin Regiment, the Griffin Cavalry discovered a total of eleven mines in the northern part of the plateau. The sizes of these mines varied.

Smaller mines only have a hole dug against the rock wall. There is only a row of dilapidated stone houses in front of the hole. The ore is piled on the mountainside. The ore still needs to be screened twice...

As the headhunters from the villages near the mountains gradually evacuated, these mines were exposed to the mine guards.

This time Roy led the mine guards to the outside of a mine, and saw that there was only a low wall outside the mine, with two rows of stone houses built inside.

The Griffin Group passed the news to Roy that the owner of this small mine did not leave with the headhunters.

This mine is built very secretly. It is built in a depression on the north slope of a mountain. If you look at it from the bottom of the hillside or from a distance, you will never be able to see the mine halfway up the mountain, but the griffins are in the sky. The field of vision became very wide, and I suddenly discovered the mine not far from the north pass of Tianpu Canyon.

When Roy and the mixed elf warriors stood outside the mine, the mine owner who was hiding inside the mine could no longer sit still. He led a group of private soldiers in the mine and cautiously opened the gate of the wall.

The mine owner seemed to be a mixed-blood elf, and the faces of the private soldiers behind him were also extremely ugly.

It's hard to tell how old the mine owner is. He should be an adult mixed-blood elf, wearing a pretty good magic pattern outfit. When Roy saw him walking out of the yard, he took the initiative to take a step forward. Then he said to him coldly:

"My name is Roy, and I have been ordered to take over this mine. The private military forces in this mine need to be disbanded on the spot. In addition, you must cooperate with me to take over this mine. If there are mixed blood in the mine, Elf Mine Slave, you will be sent to the Padstow City Trial Hall for trial..."

The mine owner did not want to resist. He looked back at the private army in the mine behind him. The more than thirty elf warriors seemed to be very weak.

Behind Roy stood at least a thousand mixed elf warriors...

Some mixed-blood elf warriors walked out from behind Roy and tied up the helpless private soldiers and the mine owner with ropes.

Then Roy stepped into the mine. The mine was built on a platform he created on the mountainside. The entire platform was surrounded by a rock wall. There were a row of stone houses on the east and west sides of the yard, with an open space in the middle.

The entrance to the mine is on the rock wall behind the clearing. A group of mixed-blood elf miners are still pushing mine carts to transport ore from the mine.

They saw a group of mixed-blood elf warriors rushing in from outside. They stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

Roy walked straight into the mine. He ignored the ore on the ground and walked towards the group of mixed-blood elf slaves. When he came to them, he said:

"I am Roy, and I have been ordered to take over this mine. How many mixed-blood elf miners do you have here?"
