Path of light

Chapter 470 471. Remove the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron

The sea breeze could not dissipate the steaming mist on the sea, and eleven three-masted sailing ships were anchored in the deep waters of the coral reef.

After nightfall, several horse lanterns were hung on the boat. The weak light could not be diffused in the fog, but instead formed a halo around the horse lanterns.

The ship was of no apparent age, and its bottom was covered with a thick layer of barnacles.

Several gray dwarf bandits stood on the deck, constantly patrolling the edge of the ship. A bandit captain walked from the bow to the stern and climbed to the roof. Surrounded by a large amount of fog, even other sailboats could not be seen.

The bandit captain touched his beard that was wet with mist, twisted his big red nose, threw the snot into the sea, wiped his hands on the wooden railing, and then looked at the gray dwarf who was standing sentry on the top of the ship building. The robber said:

"You must be alert tonight. Chief Miles will lead everyone to the island to fight. We can't make any mistakes here!"

He paused, pressed his hands on the wooden railing, leaned his body outside the railing, and shouted loudly to the gray dwarf bandit on the deck:

"Tonight! No one can drink. If I smell the slightest smell of alcohol from anyone, I will let him clean the toilet for a month! I will do what I say..."

"Captain, let Brad clean the toilet. I'll report that he has a wine bottle hidden in his arms!"

Immediately, a gray dwarf bandit laughed and responded.

"From the moment I set this rule..." the bandit captain roared viciously.

Laughter came from the boat again: "Brad, go and take out the wine bottle you hide in your crotch!"

An angry shout came from the observation deck of the main mast:

"Brother Rini, Piasno, if you dare to trick me again, when I come down from the observation deck, I will hook your tongue out of your mouth and hang it on the mast to dry..."

"..."

"Haha! Piasno, push back...don't be a coward!"

A group of gray dwarf bandits laughed at Piasno, who dared not answer any more, and the laughter on the ship spread far away.

…

Roy clung to the edge of the bottom of the boat, his head above the water.

The waves rippled, always pushing him against the barnacle-covered shipboard. There was a burst of conversation and laughter on the ship. Unfortunately, they were speaking in dwarf language, and Roy didn't know what they were talking about. What.

It was pitch black all around. Although he knew that there were other three-masted sailboats moored around, the heavy fog blocked his sight and he couldn't see other ships at all. But Roy knew clearly that there were a total of eleven sea ships moored here.

Roy only brought fifty Dark Moon Elf warriors this time. He was short of manpower and could only push them across one ship at a time...

Seeing a group of Dark Moon Elf warriors surrounding the ship, Roy nodded to Captain Timothy next to him.

Captain Timothy hid his body in the darkness and climbed up the anchor chain, leaving only a faint trace of water on the chain...

…

The Dark Moon Elf warriors lurked into the shadows one after another, following Captain Timothy's footsteps and quietly climbing onto the ship.

After Captain Timothy boarded the deck, he led the Dark Moon Elf warriors to hide in the shadow of the ship's building. Vice-Captain Tennyson began to count the number of gray dwarf bandits on the ship. They were on the bow, deck, observation deck, and on the top of the ship's building. Patrolling duergar bandits.

Vice-Captain Tennyson walked back to the shadow of the ship building with his waist down, and kept using gestures to lay out the battle plan. In this regard, he was more thoughtful than Captain Timothy...

Captain Timothy was assigned to climb to the observation deck to deal with the gray dwarf bandits there, while Deputy Captain Tennyson was to lead a team of Dark Moon Elf warriors into the cabin below the deck to deal with the gray dwarf bandits resting in the cabin. them.

A dark moon elf warrior climbed up the stairs to the roof.

There was a gray dwarf bandit standing on the roof of the building. He was walking along the edge of the roof. He didn't notice at all that a black silhouette stretched out from the shadow behind him. The black silhouette stretched to his back, like It's an arm...

…

Captain Timothy has now climbed to the observation deck of the main mast. He is quietly waiting for the signal from the top of the ship's building...

Vice Captain Tennyson, who entered the cabin, also hid at the door of a cabin. There was no light in the corridor. They were hidden in the darkness and reached out to knock on the cabin door.

‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

There were subtle footsteps inside the cabin...

On the deck, almost all the gray dwarf bandits were targeted by the Dark Moon Elf warriors lurking in the darkness.

All the Dark Moon Elf warriors hiding in the shadows hold their breath...

…

At this time, an arm stretched out from the shadow on the top of the ship suddenly wrapped around the gray dwarf robber's neck. A Dark Moon Elf warrior strangled the gray dwarf robber's neck, and then took the dagger in his hand from the gray dwarf robber. It was inserted through the gap in the ribs on the left side and stabbed directly into the heart.

The gray dwarf bandit's eyes widened suddenly. He wanted to struggle and shout, but his mouth was covered with his hand.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed the arm of the Dark Moon Elf Warrior desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of the arm, but he was not strong enough and could not break free from the arm...

Then the blood gurgled out along the blood groove of the dagger.

The gray dwarf bandit felt that his strength was disappearing little by little.

The gray dwarf robber struggled feebly and could not even cry out until he died.

The gray dwarf bandits on the roof of the ship were eliminated by the Dark Moon Elf warriors. Captain Timothy and the Dark Moon Elf warriors hiding in the shadow of the ship's side on the deck also took action almost at the same time...

The gray dwarf robbers were knocked down one by one by the Dark Moon Elf warriors. Then there was a slight noise below the cabin. Not long after, Vice Captain Tennyson took the lead in dragging the body of the gray dwarf robber and walked out of the cabin backwards. The gray dwarf robber The blood flowing from his body stained the wooden stairs red.

These fifty Dark Moon Elf warriors were all elite assassins. They sneaked into the same ship together and almost instantly seized control of the three-masted sailing ship.

All the gray dwarf robber corpses were placed side by side on the deck. Captain Timothy slipped down from the mast and did not let the Dark Moon Elf warriors throw these corpses into the sea. He was worried that the sound of falling into the water would cause the other three sailboats nearby to panic. vigilance.

Roy also received the signal from the ship at this time and climbed onto the deck of the sailboat along the anchor chain.

As soon as he arrived on the deck, he saw the corpses of gray dwarf bandits lying on the deck...

Captain Timothy didn't make any communication, just nodded to Roy, and then led the Dark Moon Elf warriors to slide into the sea along a rope, preparing to capture the second sea ship.

Roy was left alone on the three-masted sailboat. Roy climbed along the blood stains on the stairs to the captain's cabin on the second floor of the ship's building.

The room was dirty and messy, with some personal belongings of the gray dwarf captain everywhere. There was half a box of cigars on the console, many wine bottles lying on the floor, and even a pair of socks with a peculiar smell hanging on the rudder.

There were some blood stains everywhere on the floor and wooden walls of the room...

Roy pushed the cabins open and did not close them again. He turned around and walked out of the captain's cabin and climbed straight to the roof of the cabin.

Unfortunately, the heavy fog at night had not dissipated, and he could not see the ships beside him at all.

…

While waiting on the ship, Roy even completely purified the ship inside and out, so that the resentful spirits lingering on the ship could be freed.

Then he went to the cabin to check for fish that had slipped through the net, but the Dark Moon Elf warriors searched very carefully. Roy did not find the hidden gray dwarf bandits, but he did find boxes of them in the cargo hold below the ship. supplies.

Including cloth, leather, armor pieces and a small number of weapons, etc.

Roy casually opened a treasure box, and there was a row of gold-inlaid bone china inside.

After opening the other box, it turned out to be a box full of magic crystals.

There are many exquisite small boxes like this in the cabin. It seems that the gray dwarf bandits left some of the wealth they robbed in the cabin.

Although these ships look much shabbier than the Black Pearl, there are really a lot of valuable things on board.

Roy just opened a few boxes and saw three boxes of magic crystals and some sets of magic pattern structures...

Coming out of the bottom of the cabin, Roy stood at the bow of the boat again, unable to hear a single sound from the other side.

It took the Dark Moon Elf warriors half a night to capture all eleven three-masted sailing ships.

The guard group successfully captured eleven three-masted sailing ships. After Roy ran to the ships one by one to inspect them, he and the Dark Moon Elf warriors wrapped all the gray dwarf corpses together in fishing nets, and finally added a large number of stones to the fishing nets. , and then pushed the corpses of these gray dwarf robbers into the sea to feed the fish.

…

Roy then led the Dark Moon Elf warriors to sail the eleven ships one by one into the deep sea area five nautical miles away from the main island to ensure that the gray dwarf bandits could not swim here from the island. Then he led the Dark Moon Elf warriors Returned to the main island by flying fish boat.

The heavy fog that lasted all day and night finally began to fade at dawn.

Roy took the flying fish boat back to the reef of the main island and brought a group of Dark Moon Elf warriors back to the island. At this time, the sky was getting brighter...

He was a little worried about the battle situation on the West Island. If he had known that the gray dwarf bandits on the three-masted sailing ship would be so easy to deal with, he would have stayed on the West Island no matter what he said last night.

When Roy returned to the island, the tide happened to be high, and the three islands that were originally connected were separated by the tide again.

The group of gray dwarf bandits on the West Island were resting on the beach at this time. Roy took a flying fish boat to watch from a distance. It could be seen that such a large group of gray dwarf bandits had long become exhausted after a night of fierce fighting. When the tide flooded their way back to the main island, the gray dwarf bandits could only retreat to the seaside.

Seeing a large group of black people on the beach, it was estimated that at least two to three thousand gray dwarf bandits would gather on that beach.

Roy took the flying fish boat around to the other side of the West Island, and then got off the boat and landed on the island...

There is only one solitary mountain less than 400 meters high on the West Island, but the surrounding area of ​​this mountain is also very large, at least two square kilometers.

Roy entered the dense forest of the West Island and soon found a group of mixed-blood elf warriors. Several mixed-blood elf warriors were standing guard around, while other mixed-blood elf warriors were lying on the trees to rest. It seemed that the night's battle had also made them... Exhausted.

The mixed-blood elf warrior who was in charge of sentry saw Roy leading the dark moon elf warrior into the dense forest, and immediately woke up a captain of the mixed-blood elf team.

"How's the fighting situation here?" Roy asked.

"Those gray dwarf bandits followed us around the West Island all night. When it was almost dawn, they began to evacuate from the dense forest..." The mixed-blood elf said to Roy.

"What are the casualties?" Roy asked again.

"Follow your instructions, try to avoid fighting with the gray dwarf bandits, drain them of their last bit of energy on this island, and then go and deal with them..." The half-blood elf captain said with confidence.

Roy nodded, and then looked at the sleeping mixed elves warriors in the camp. There were very few injured among these mixed elves.

The captain was about to wake up these mixed elf warriors, but was stopped by Roy.

"We will retreat to the main island as originally planned. There will be a medium-sized sailboat here to pick up..." Roy ordered the half-blood elf captain.

"Okay, boss." The half-blood elf captain replied immediately.

This is just one of the many battle squadrons that have entered the West Island. There are seventeen mixed-blood elf squadrons like them that have entered the West Island, and they are almost all scattered in various places on the island.

The gray dwarf bandits do not want to fight at this moment, and even want to break away from the battle, return to the dock and leave by boat...

This is just blocked by the tide at this moment.

The sky gradually brightened, and various mixed-blood elven battle squadrons gradually gathered in the forest. Soon, three medium-sized sailing ships appeared near the beach. Roy quickly took all the mixed-blood elven warriors aboard.

The mixed-blood elf warriors returned to the main island of Key West in a sailboat.

The dock on the island has been reduced to ruins, and some shriveled rafts are lying on the beach. Even the gray dwarf bandits guarding here are looking around with a look of despair.

Roy quietly returned to the temporary camp with the mixed elf war group.

It happened to be breakfast time at this time. The mixed-blood elf warriors returned to camp and had a breakfast. Then they rushed to the West Island along the boundary between the dense forest and the beach. They had to get there between the main island and the West Island before the tide receded. Build a fortification on this shoal, and then trap these gray dwarves on the West Island until they surrender...

Arriving at the shoal, Roy saw a large group of gray dwarf bandits swimming in the water on the West Island beach five hundred meters away.

Roy quickly shouted: "Archers come forward, prepare to launch..."

The gray dwarf bandits were wearing heavy armor and stepped on the soft sand. They couldn't run at all. There was only sand under their feet and sea water...

When the gray dwarf bandits saw the rows of mixed-blood elf warriors blocking the beach, they immediately raised their dwarf chain shields above their heads.

All gray dwarves moved forward without hesitation...

With a sharp whistle, all the mixed-blood elf warriors shot arrows at the same time.

The feather arrows drew beautiful parabolas in the sky, and fell into the square formation of the Gray Dwarf bandits...

The gray dwarf bandits sank into waist-deep water, their feet sinking into the sand, making every step difficult.

At this time, countless arrows flew in the sky. A group of gray dwarf bandits relied on their armors and shields to resist. A rain of arrows fell, and many gray dwarves were hit by several arrows...
