Path of light

Chapter 554 555. The focus of the top leaders

With the lifting of the ban on the Partington plane, the number of half-blood elves in Padstow City has skyrocketed from 300,000 to more than 1 million in just over a month.

At least half of the tree houses in the city were originally idle. Now, not only are the tree houses in the city saturated, but a large number of tree houses are even being built on the hillside opposite the city.

The half-blood elves who continue to pour into Padstow City from the Elf Continent finally feel something they have never experienced before in this city - equality, freedom, and justice.

The security guards here will not give any preferential treatment to the Silver Moon Elves because of their special status.

Because the plane is rich in magical herbs, a large number of herbal merchants have gathered in Padstow City. As long as the half-blood elves in the city are willing to work, they will always get a bite to eat.

Every time he comes to Padstow City, Roy can feel the obvious changes in the city.

But Roy doesn't like this kind of speech advocating the independence of half-blood elves. He only listened to a few words and turned away from the small square.

Not long after, Roy was drinking a glass of orange juice on the street when he saw a half-blood elf guard team riding horses passing by the street. They were heading to the small square where the Declaration of Independence was being held.

Seeing a carriage parked on the street, Roy quickly got into the carriage and said to the coachman:

"Take me to the airport terminal..."

The city entered the fast lane of development, and some half-blood elves seemed to have started to swell.

Roy did not plan to stay in the city. When he took the carriage back to the airport terminal, the half-blood elf workers on the terminal had already loaded apples and breadfruits into the cabin of the magic airship.

Roy quickly climbed onto the platform and instructed the captain who was resting on the deck:

"Have all the cargo been loaded?"

The half-elf captain immediately stood up and reported to Roy:

"Boss, all the cabins are full, and the airship is currently fully loaded."

Roy glanced at the deck, and all the half-elf crew members on the deck stood up with their chests and stomachs held in. Roy asked casually:

"Are all the crew members on board?"

The half-elf captain quickly replied: "Everyone is on standby on board!"

Roy nodded and ordered: "We won't wait any longer. Let's set off for the Plateau City immediately. We'll have a good rest after we arrive at the Plateau City!"

"Okay, boss!" The half-elf captain agreed, and then he shouted to the ship's tower: "Flander, quickly get all the floating devices running, untie the ropes on the platform, and we're setting sail!"

The half-elf magician who was responsible for starting the floating device ran out of the ship's tower in a panic, putting a magic hat on his head while running.

The half-elf captain also took the opportunity to quickly run to the control platform and give orders to the half-elf crew on the ship...

The entire magic airship started to operate quickly.

Roy did not stay on the deck.

When he was on the deck, all the crew members had to walk around him when they passed by him. These half-elf crew members were excellent half-elf warriors selected from the mine guards. They were the group of elves who admired Roy the most.

In order not to affect the normal work of the half-blood elves on the ship, Roy returned to the cabin. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Suddenly, the image of High Priest Reed appeared in his mind.

He was wearing a gray cloth cloak, wrapping his whole body, walking alone in the darkness. In one hand, he held a holy cup of wisdom that emitted a faint holy light. Countless dark creatures were wandering in the darkness around him. Those dark creatures tried to tear High Priest Reed through the faint holy light, but every time they put their claws deep into the holy light, they would be instantly melted into a wisp of black smoke by the holy light.

High Priest Reed was walking slowly forward in the darkness, surrounded by endless darkness...

Roy suddenly opened his eyes, and the picture that appeared in his mind quickly dissipated.

He sat up from the bed and found that the sacred tree in his body had turned into a phantom emitting a faint holy light behind him. All the flowers of light in the crown of the huge sacred tree were blooming, and the holy light particles were like pollen in the stamens, flying down from the sacred tree.

Roy reached out and touched the water cup from the bedside table, took a big sip of cold water, and quickly calmed himself down.

Ever since he broke through the shackles of his body and became a first-level high priest, no matter how many holy light particles the sacred tree absorbed from the outside world, he did not feel the growth of the holy light power in his body. It seemed that since he became a high priest, his path of cultivation had stagnated.

In fact, Roy also knew that every time he purified the undead and demons, the holy light power in his body would increase significantly...

But in the Elf Continent, undead creatures and demons are very rare. Even if he has the power of holy light in his body and can feel the undead creatures and demons around him, the chances of meeting them in this year are very few.

I don't know why, but Roy suddenly had an urge to go out for a walk.

In the past few days, he has heard a pair of eyes of reincarnation in the dark looking at him from a distance, and a low murmur came into his ears. Then his body was ignited by a ball of fire, and a graceful figure danced in the dark.

It was a dance full of charm.

Every time Roy tried to look over, a dazzling holy light would burst out from his body.

Then he would wake up in the dazzling holy light, and then he would feel as if the holy light in his body was hollowed out.

…

After a day and night of sailing, the sixth magic airship finally arrived at the Plateau City smoothly.

Today, the Plateau City has gathered a large number of half-blood elf craftsmen, who are all skilled in rock carving and relief. They have to carve exquisite murals on huge stone slabs and then paste the murals on the walls of large buildings in the city.

The elves' city can be without walls, but it cannot be without these artistic sculptures and relief murals.

Many crossroads in the city have pools and fountains, the water supply system in the city has been improved, and many trees have been transplanted on both sides of the street. According to Roy's requirements, these trees are basically apple trees and orange trees. Although Mulin would like to transplant some hibiscus cotton to make the streets more beautiful, this proposal was rejected by Roy.

If the breadfruit tree wasn't too big, Roy would have even wanted to plant a breadfruit tree in the center of every small square in the city...

The biggest change in the Plateau City is that the half-blood elf collectors are finally willing to sell some medium and high-level magic herbs to the herb merchants on the free market. There are no less than 50,000 half-blood elves who make a living by collecting herbs on the Pagisto Plateau.

They are scattered almost in every corner of the Pagisto Plateau. For many half-blood elf collectors, the northern and eastern parts of the Pagisto Plateau are blank areas. In the past, these places were the territory of the plateau headhunters, and the half-blood elf collectors didn't dare to set foot there.

Now the plateau headhunters have been defeated by Roy's mine guards and Helike's half-blood elf rebels. The half-blood elf collectors can find magic herbs anywhere on the Pagisto Plateau.

A large number of magic herbs have gathered in the Plateau City, making this newly built small city gradually lively.

The original purpose of the city's existence was to build a prisoner-of-war concentration camp on this mound surrounded by water on three sides, mainly to detain those plateau headhunters.

But Roy never thought that one day the number of plateau headhunters in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp would exceed 10,000.

Plateau City was born under such circumstances, and now with the bonus of the booming magic herb market, Plateau City only took a few months to get through the most difficult period of development.

Although the current Plateau City is not very prosperous, it is the largest gathering place for half-blood elves in Padstow Plateau...

The life of half-blood elves here is much more comfortable and peaceful than that in Padstow City. The barracks of the mine guard regiment are built in Plateau City.

This time Roy brought back 1,700 sets of standard military uniforms of excellent quality. Three half-blood elf guard regiments received new standard armaments, and the old equipment eliminated from them was packed and sent to the ancestral land of Gazan in the north of the plateau.

The half-blood elf rebels led by Captain Helike are currently in a state of lack of armaments and supplies.

Currently, there are only four magic airships traveling between the Plateau City and Padstow City. After entering the Partington Plane, the rest of the modified magic airships were transferred by Roy to the Sun Island Bay and docked at the dock on the north coast.

In Roy's opinion, it was enough to have four magic airships traveling between the two cities.

However, the modified magic airships could no longer stay on Partington Island, so they were all transferred to the Partington Plane by Roy...

...

But even if they acted so low-key, when the eighth magic airship entered the City of Padstow, a report from General Kempfred was still placed on the meeting table of the senior leaders of the Silver Pegasus Corps.

The reason was that General Kempfred believed that Governor Roy of the Pagisto Plateau currently had eight magic airships and had formed a huge air force in the Partington Plane. Chief Kampfred declared in the report that Roy could deploy 5,000 half-blood elf warriors to any corner of the Partington plane elf territory within one day and night, and that the current mine guard regiment had absorbed some of the original rebels on the plane, and its combat effectiveness far exceeded that of ordinary infantry regiments.

If it was just such a report, the top leaders of the Silver Pegasus Corps might not pay more attention to Roy.

But at this time, a document from the Armament Manufacturing Department of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom was also delivered to the conference table of the top leaders of the Silver Pegasus Corps, which clearly stated that Roy, the leader of the Silver Pegasus Corps Mine Guard Corps, spent 300,000 magic crystals to buy 5,000 sets of excellent quality light armor sets from the Castletown City Armament Warehouse.

You should know that the Silver Pegasus Legion only spent a total of 500,000 magic crystals in the naval battle of the Queen Ewenni Islands...

The head of an external division of the Silver Pegasus Legion in a subsidiary plane actually took out 300,000 magic crystals in one go to buy armaments. What does this mean? Roy, who controls all the mines on the Padstow Plateau, may be corrupt.

The investigators sent by the Silver Pegasus Legion checked the metal ingots and magic crystals that Roy handed over to the military during his tenure at the Padstow City Military Headquarters. After converting all these metal ingots into magic crystals, a number that shocked all the senior military officials appeared in everyone's eyes.

A full 360,000 magic crystals!

In addition, Roy runs a business of primary magic herbs, and he also has a business license from the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters. No one knows how profitable the magic herb trade is better than the senior leaders of the Silver Pegasus Legion...

For a moment, the senior leaders of the Silver Pegasus Legion finally realized how big a cake Roy had in his hands.

But the top leaders of the Silver Pegasus military could not directly ask for the mines back at this time, mainly because they had lost these mines in the first place.

Now they jumped out to pick the fruits directly, not to mention what Earl Swinburne standing behind Roy would think, who to send to take over these mines was also a problem for the top leaders of the Silver Pegasus.

For a while, the top leaders of the Silver Pegasus Legion noticed Roy and the Pagisto Plateau.

The top leaders of the Legion began to pay attention to Captain Brad and Captain Craven who were rebuilding the two mines in the Caldim Mountains, but they were unable to restore the mines to normal operation in the ruins of the mines in the Caldim Mountains.

The two thousand half-blood elf warriors who were originally brought from Padstow City ran away and scattered in just one month, leaving less than a thousand people.

At present, Captain Craven and Captain Brad can only gather the half-blood elf warriors of both sides together.

But every day, many half-blood elf warriors still take the initiative to ask to leave the legion...

There are many reasons, the main reason is that Captain Craven and Captain Brad let these half-blood elf warriors work as miners every day, and they also have to clear out small groups of headhunters in the Caldeum Mountains.

Not only that, they don’t even get paid for working as miners every day...

It just so happens that all the officers in the legion are Silver Moon elves, and these Silver Moon elf officers don’t work in the mines.

This kind of differential treatment has become a fuse, completely igniting these half-blood elf warriors.

If these half-blood elf warriors were treated differently on the Elf Continent, everyone might still endure it, but this is the Pagisto Plateau. When the news of their unfair treatment spread to other half-blood elves, some half-blood elves immediately ran to the Caldeum Mountains to rescue them.

So the largest-scale half-blood elf warriors secretly left the legion and broke out in the Southern Mithril Mine of the Caldeum Mountains on the Pagisto Plateau.

...

When Roy heard the news, he was still at the North Coast Pier of Sun Island Bay. The port pier here was finally built. He and the village chief Tiprado were standing on a magic airship, planning to transport a batch of supplies to Sun Island.

"I have always wanted to build a lighthouse on Sun Island, so that the magic airship will not always get lost in the Sun Island Bay area when sailing at night..."

Roy stood on the deck with his hands on his waist and said to the village chief Tiprado with a smile.
