Path of light

Chapter 437 438. Abir’s escape plan (Part 2)

This secret passage is very long, but the section inside the Mithril Mine Castle is very secret. Orisis followed Abiel and walked down the steep steps for a long time. It felt like he had almost reached the location of the castle. The hillside extends straight in one direction.

Aulisis was completely lost in the secret passage and did not know where the exit was.

This secret passage was built in a very hidden way. In addition to the accumulation of a thick layer of dust, mice would occasionally slip through the cracks in the stones.

There wasn't much ventilation in the secret passage, and it was stuffy and hot.

Sweat flowed down the heavy armor into the steel combat boots. Not only was the lining soaked through, but the feet inside the boots were also sticky. The feeling was really hard to describe.

Oresis, who has been living a pampered life for these years, feels that the power in his body is rapidly draining...

But Abir had no intention of stopping and taking a rest.

Aulisis knew that even if he asked to take a break at this time, Abiel would not agree, so he could only grit his teeth and persist.

Aulisis did not expect that this secret passage would be so long. He estimated that he should have walked in the secret passage for a whole night, and he still had not found the exit.

Abir was very careful when building the secret tunnel.

Along the way, there were more than a dozen forks in the secret passage alone.

Even if there are elf warriors chasing after you, you still have to keep doing multiple-choice questions in this intricate secret passage.

Just when Orisis was completely lost, Abir stopped. He first made sure there was no pursuer behind him, and then stood in front of a stone wall in the secret passage. He asked Orisis to come over to help, and the two Together, they pushed a huge boulder on the stone wall in, and a passage like a dog cave appeared in the secret passage. Abiel bent down and got in, and then motioned for Orisis to follow.

This passage, which is not much wider than a dog cave, is simply a hardship for Olysis, who is wearing heavy armor.

Because his shoulders were too wide, the shoulder armor got stuck in the corner of the passage.

If Abir hadn't turned around to help him unbuckle the breastplate and take off the heavy armor, he would have been stuck in the passage and starved to death...

The exit of this passage was a crevice in the rock wall. Abiel hid at the edge of the crevice and looked outside to make sure that no mixed-blood elf warriors were seen on the hillside. Then he took a long breath and weakly Leaning on the side wall of the rock crevice, he said to Orisis:

"I finally escaped. It was not easy this time. The shelter I built is 20 kilometers away from here. Let's hide here first, and then go to the shelter after dark."

While saying these words, Abiel was not idle either. He led Orisis to climb up the narrow rock crevice.

After the two climbed up the rock wall, they hid on a high platform in the rock crevice.

Abir then took out two sleeping bags from his magic waist bag and used an iron drill to nail two hooks on the rock wall. The two of them hung the sleeping bags on them and then got into the sleeping bags. They looked like they were hanging like silkworm chrysalises. In the rock crevice.

The entire escape process went very smoothly, so smoothly that Abiel was a little suspicious of whether the owner of the Roy mine was a straw bag.

It's so boring to escape from the mithril mine in Wochak Mountain so easily!

…

A team of assassins quietly emerged from the exit of the passage. They followed it all the way and finally found the secret exit.

It was very dark inside the stone crevices, and they were hiding in the shadows. Even a skunk that slipped through the stone crevices could not detect this group of Dark Moon Elf warriors.

When Deputy Captain Tennyson emerged from the passage, Abiel was taking Orisis to hang two sleeping bags high in the rock crevice.

The operation of the owner of Abiel Mine shocked the Dark Moon Elf warrior Fielding who was following Deputy Captain Tennyson:

"What on earth does this guy want to do..."

"Why do you care so much! Let's start working. The Silver Pegasus Legion has a precedent for mine owners who abscond in fear of crime. They can directly execute them during pursuit." Deputy Captain Tennyson's voice was a little cold.

As he spoke, Captain Tennyson was like a gecko, putting his hands and feet on the rock wall and climbing up quietly.

Lieutenant Commander Tennyson's body became blurry in the shadows.

Unfortunately it wasn't night and his body couldn't be completely hidden.

Vice Captain Tennyson crawled to the sleeping bag, pulled out a dagger from his thigh, and stabbed it towards a sleeping bag without making a sound. However, the moment the dagger just touched the sleeping bag, a layer of pale gold suddenly appeared around the sleeping bag. Light shield comes.

Then the sleeping bag suddenly broke open, and the owner of Abiel Mine, who looked surprised, got out of it and jumped directly to the high platform next to the rock crevice.

He held the flaming dagger in one hand and the feathered bow in the other, staring intently at Deputy Captain Tennyson.

At the same time, the sleeping bag where Orisis was in also burst open, and the strong Orisis emerged from the inside holding two swords. The two storm swords strangled Deputy Captain Tennyson's neck. .

Aulisis's feet were propped up on the stone walls on both sides of the rock crevice. In order to avoid this strangulation, Deputy Captain Tennyson quickly slid down.

At this time, the owner of Abiel Mine, who was standing on the rock crevice platform, drew his light feather bow towards Deputy Captain Tennyson, and shot out a light magic feather arrow with a whoosh.

But the next second, he didn't even have time to see if Deputy Captain Tennyson had been hit by an arrow. He felt a cold dagger pressed against his throat. The cold touch and sharp blade made his neck hurt.

The owner of Abiel Mine could even look back at the ambusher behind him before his throat was separated by the dagger.

He let go of the Light Feather Bow and dagger, and covered his neck with blood gushing out with both hands, unable to say a word.

He only felt that the source of power in his body was slowly disappearing, and the world in front of him slowly became extremely blurry. He could not breathe normally...

Then the owner of the Abiel mine knelt on one knee on the rock platform, his blood staining the elegant wind and magic pattern structure on his body red.

Captain Timothy stood on the stone platform. He had just wiped a knife on the neck of the owner of the Abiel Mine, ending the sinful life of the owner of the Abiel Mine.

…

Aulisis drove away Deputy Captain Tennyson with a sword, and then he rushed towards Deputy Captain Tennyson along the rock crevice.

Aulisis is a sword dancer who wears full heavy armor. This kind of heavy sword dancer can completely restrain assassins to a certain extent.

Vice Captain Tennyson was knocked back by Aulisis's sword. Fielding and Kunir of the Assassin Squad came up from both sides of the rock crevice. This time, the Assassin Squad caught up with a total of six Dark Moon Elf warriors.

If it were two months ago, this assassin team might not have any advantage in front of the owner of Abiel Mine and Orisis...

However, after these two months of training on the battlefield, the strength of the assassin team members has greatly improved.

Although Oresis was very brave, as a sword dancer, he was caught between the cracks in the rocks and could not perform any moves at all, especially the storm sword which was very clumsy.

Two assassins pounced on them, breaking their tendons and garroting their throats...

Orsis's body slid down the crevice and was caught at the bottom of the crevice.

…

The assassin team carried the bodies of Abiel Mine Owner and Orisis directly back to the castle at the Mithril Mine in Wochak Mountain.

The square at the gate of the castle was filled with mixed-blood elves and dark moon elf miners. Everyone surrounded the dark moon elf warriors of the assassin team in the center, and then they saw the owner of the mine, Abiel, who was covered in blood and his body was stiff. .

Then, the whole square erupted into cheers and cries that had been suppressed for a long time.

These cheers and cries seemed to officially declare that the miners of the Mithril Mine in Wochak Mountain were completely free.

The mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard were very calm at this time. Some of them maintained order in the small square of the castle, and some mixed-blood elf warriors took out some fruits from the mine warehouse and distributed them to the miners in the square.

Just in front of the small door on the other side of the square, Team Tiffany, with a team of mixed-blood elf warriors, was checking the health of some elf miners. Mixed-blood elves and dark moon elves who passed the physical examination could join the mine guard team.

In the morning, the Elf Mine of the Mithril Mine of Wochak Mountain specifically found Roy and made a request to Roy to join the mine guard team.

That's why Roy had this arrangement in the small square. According to the elf miners in the mine, joining the Mine Guard will make them feel safer, so many miners hope to join the Mine Guard.

The bodies of the owner of Abiel Mine and Aulisis were placed in the middle of the square, and were buried in the mixed-blood elf cemetery on the west side of the castle in the afternoon.

…

‘A Silver Moon Elf mine owner in the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau was killed by the mine guards on the way to escape while fleeing in fear of crime...'

This news soon spread to Padstow City, and the whole Padstow City was shocked by it. On the contrary, the Silver Moon Elf managers in Padstow City were silent at this moment, and even The logistics chief of the Silver Pegasus Legion remained silent.

Obviously he didn't want to anger the mixed elves living in the city at this time of excitement.

Not only that, the news of the murder of the owner of Abiel Mine also spread to the mines in the Nicobar Mountains in the eastern part of the plateau.

This news allowed these mine owners to finally understand one thing: although the elven army shouted, 'Life comes first, there is no death penalty for elves', mine owners who committed many evil deeds would actually be executed, just in the way they were executed. Just a little different.

…

There are eleven mines in the northern part of the plateau.

A total of five mines were discovered in the western area where Captain Herrick was located. These mines were stormed by rebel soldiers led by Captain Herrick. Moreover, Captain Herrick does not accept prisoners, and all mine owners and mine private soldiers will be executed in the mines. This is true for the first four mines. The further you get to the back, the more fierce the resistance made by the mine owners. .

The rebel fighters paid a high price for this, and the suppression process was quite bloody, which was completely unlike the elves' approach.

When the fifth mine was attacked, the owner of the mine fled directly when he heard that the army of rebel soldiers was approaching, which allowed the exhausted rebel soldiers to enter the rest period in advance.

There are six mines, four iron mines and two mithril mines distributed in the eastern area where Roy is located.

When Roy occupied these mines, it was not very difficult.

The mines were left isolated as a large number of headhunters fled to the ancestral land of Gazan.

For the first four iron mines, Roy easily received the information from the owner of the Jerome Mine. When it came to the fifth Wochak Mountain Mithril Mine, although the process was a bit tortuous, it was not very strenuous.

When he captured the sixth mithril mine, the mine owner also fled directly.

During this period, Roy also captured more than a thousand young headhunter prisoners of war in the northern part of the plateau. Roy sent these headhunter prisoners of war to four iron mines to work as miners.

In November 1407, Roy occupied the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau in one fell swoop, and all the headhunter tribes in the northern part of the plateau moved to the land of the Gazan ancestors.

When the Silver Pegasus Legion entered the northern part of the plateau, they only pursued the headhunter resistance all the way, and did not make any effort to wipe out the headhunter tribe in the northern part of the plateau. Therefore, even if they had a whole group of Silver Pegasus warriors, they were still looking for the land of the ancestors of Gazan. It is very strenuous.

Roy's combat strategy this time was completely different from that of the Silver Pegasus Legion. He directly drove away all the headhunter tribes in the northern part of the plateau, forcing them to flee north.

Captain Helic killed a large number of headhunters in the North Wind Canyon.

The headhunters were afraid of the mixed elf warriors, so the entire escape process went smoothly.

Moreover, the mixed-blood elf warriors in the rebel army also discovered one thing: not all headhunters have superb hunting methods.

Those headhunters with superb hunting skills basically went to the southern part of the plateau.

They went to the south to hunt mixed elves. At first they met the cavalry vanguard of the Silver Pegasus Legion, but some of them were driven away. Later, they met the Silver Pegasus warriors and some of them were killed.

After the Silver Pegasus Legion left the Pagisto Plateau, this group of headhunters launched a retaliatory action against the mixed-blood elves in the southern part of the plateau. Almost all adult headhunters left the northern part of the plateau, and some of the headhunters died in the Gasai Mountains. , another part of the headhunters died in the Kardim Mountains, and the last group of headhunters took their tribe and fled into the land of the ancestors of Gazan,

At this time, the headhunters who stayed in the northern part of the plateau, in addition to young people, were elderly people, and there were also some women who could only use daggers and traps.

Although these headhunters also have a certain degree of combat power, they are not even close to those murderous headhunters, so the mixed-blood elf warriors can easily win every battle.

By this point, Roy's mine guards had occupied the entire plateau, except for the mountainous areas on the northern edge of the Pagisto Plateau and the Nicobar Mountains in the east.

Hidden among the mountains on the northern edge of the plateau is the birthplace of headhunters - the land of the ancestors of Gazan.

This place has never been found by the elves.

Captain Herrick wrote to Roy that he wanted to see the ancestral land of the headhunters. If it was possible there, it would become a temporary base for the rebels.

Roy naturally wouldn't have any objections.

Instead of continuing north, the mine guards turned around and headed for the Nicobar Mountains in the eastern part of the plateau.

The terrain of the eastern mountain range is very complex, almost all of them are stacked mountains. Many headhunter groups live a hunting life here, which is a hard nut to crack. However, Roy has a group of griffons, which makes it easier to enter the mountainous area. Much easier.
