Path of light

Chapter 559 560. Barrier

Earl Swinburne unfolded a map and pointed to the military camp near Castleton City and said:

"I plan to send the fifth and sixth Silver Pegasus Knights stationed in the Lighthouse Camp to the Sheep Horn Bay for support. Once the gray dwarf bandits land on the island to fight, the current infantry guard regiment on the island may not be able to stop the attack of the gray dwarf bandits. Can the infantry guard regiment on the Queen Island be transferred a few times?"

The adjutant standing next to him whispered: "If you want to transfer the infantry guard regiment, you must give up some of the outer islands."

"Well, I'll think of a way." Earl Swinburne sighed and said.

He didn't want to give up the outer islands of the Queen Ewenni Islands.

After all, every island here was taken back after a bloody battle with the gray dwarf bandits.

If we withdraw troops from the island now, wouldn't it mean that the naval battle outside the Queen Ewenni Islands has become meaningless...

"Yejiao Fjord is the exit of Murayaki Port. Otherwise, we can ask the garrison near Murayaki Port for reinforcement?" Earl Macaulay said.

Earl Swinburne turned his head and looked at Earl Macaulaye: "Are you saying that you are going to ask the local Silver Moon Elf nobles to send troops to reinforce?"

"Well, I will go to Shejiao Fjord with the Fifth and Sixth Silver Pegasus Knights. Earl Persela of Murayaki City and I have a good relationship! I believe he will be willing to help us with this."

Earl Swinburne is a close confidant of His Majesty Ansel, the Silver Moon Elf King. The commander of the legion who maintains close contacts with the Silver Moon Elf Royal Family will definitely not get the support of the local Silver Moon Elf noble forces.

But Earl Macaulay is different. He is on good terms with many Silver Moon Elf nobles.

In addition, the Second Silver Pegasus Knights sent to Golfito were jointly formed by Earl Macaulay and several other Silver Moon Elf nobles, and belonged to Earl Macaulay's direct army.

At present, this Silver Pegasus Knights have encountered trouble in Sheep Horn Bay, and Earl Macaulay naturally has to personally come forward to solve the crisis encountered by the Second Silver Pegasus Knights.

Moreover, Earl Swinburne has already dispatched the Fifth and Sixth Silver Pegasus Knights of the Lighthouse Camp to the maximum extent, and has made it clear that he wants to protect the logistics group of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights.

At this time, Earl Macaulay must go to Sheep Horn Bay to supervise the battle.

But Earl Macaulay has another trouble in his hand. He can't ignore the letter of help from General Kampfred.

General Kampfred was promoted by Earl Macaulay himself.

Originally, Earl Macaulay wanted to increase his control over the Partington plane. After all, several important positions in the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Department were almost all held by Earl Swinburne's cronies, including Berkeley, who was in charge of the Security Guard Corps, Siagra, who was in charge of the trade of medium and high-level magic herbs, and Roy, who was in charge of the entire Padstow Plateau Mine.

At the end of the Queen Eweni Islands naval battle, Earl Macaulay gave up some of his interests in the Queen Eweni Islands and finally pushed Kempfred to the position of Chief of Logistics. He thought that he would take advantage of the rapid development of the Partington plane to make a lot of achievements and then slowly insert some people in the Partington plane.

But he never expected that General Kempfred, who had been in office in Padstow for so long, still could not control the situation there, and let the situation deteriorate to the point where he had to ask the Silver Pegasus Knights to go to the Partington plane to suppress it...

Captain Macaulay continued, "How to deal with the affairs of the Partington plane?"

He put this matter on the table, and also sent a signal to Earl Swinburne that he was ready to give in and hoped that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion could successfully overcome this dilemma.

"I'll go and deal with it!" Earl Swinburne nodded and said.

At this time, there was a knock on the side door of the room connecting to the lounge.

"Christine? Come in!"

"...Father, are you looking for me?"

Christine, wearing a long skirt, walked quickly into the office, and her crisp voice seemed a little ostentatious.

But she then saw Earl Macaulay and High Priest Reginald, and hurriedly stopped and saluted guiltily.

Earl Swinburne glared at Miss Christine who was reckless, and then said to her:

"Get ready, and follow me to the Partington plane later."

"Oh! Got it."

Miss Christine bent sideways, lifted the hem of her skirt at her knees obediently, and saluted again before leaving gracefully...

...

Pushing open the heavy oak door carved with life leaves and irises, the dazzling sunlight shone into the hall of the Silver Pegasus Military through the crack in the door.

Roy held the door handle with both hands, walked out of the crack in the door, and stood on the top of the semicircular steps.

Thousands of half-blood elves gathered under the steps. Most of these half-blood elves sat on the ground. The half-blood elves in the front held wooden signs, and the half-blood elves in the back held up huge banners.

Under the scorching sun, the spirits of these half-blood elves seemed a little sluggish.

When the half-blood elves noticed that it was Boss Roy who came out of the gate, and then more than 30 half-blood elf warriors stood behind Roy, the expressions of the half-blood elf warriors seemed a little excited...

Roy put his right hand on his chest, clenched his fist, and slowly raised it.

The half-blood elves at the bottom of the stairs stood up one after another...

Everyone saw Roy raise his fist and burst into cheers like a tide.

Cheering like a tide...

Many half-blood elves even wanted to squeeze forward, and the square, which was already crowded, suddenly became a little chaotic.

"Please be quiet and don't crowd in the middle!"

Roy tried to make his voice louder, but his words were still very useful. The mixed elves behind him stopped pushing forward, and the restlessness in the crowd gradually calmed down...

"I'm Roy!"

"The residents of Padstow may know what our Padstow has gone through in the past few years. The five-year ban on the plane portal has brought so much inconvenience to our lives. Today Padstow The prosperity of Stow is so hard-won, and the current Padstow is exactly what we want to see. "

"This city is a gathering place for mixed elves, but it is also a central city under the management of the Silver Pegasus Legion."

"I often think that if the portal had not been unblocked, our lives would actually get better day by day, but we would never become as prosperous as we are today."

"After the portal was lifted, the mixed elves who came from the Elf Continent only saw the beautiful Padstow Forest. They didn't experience the most difficult two years, so many of our fellow mixed elves may not understand us. Desto residents’ desire for peace.”

"I know that all the anger among everyone gathered here today is because these mixed-blood elf warriors standing behind me have been treated unfairly."

"But in the final analysis, this matter... is only an internal matter within the Silver Pegasus Legion. I believe that the senior management of the Silver Pegasus Legion will give a fair judgment."

"You come here to settle down, do business and make money, or travel and explore. There is nothing wrong with this. But I hope you will not be easily fooled by some extreme remarks. You must use your own eyes to observe and your own ears to understand. Listen and feel it quietly with your own heart. You can listen to what kind of wind language the oak trees in these cities are singing. It must be full of cheerful melodies. "

"I can't give you any guarantees here, but I can tell you that I will stand with you very firmly. Please give me some time and let me and Captain Berkeley deal with this matter."

"Do you trust me?"

Roy asked all the mixed elves present.

The group of mixed-blood elves in the square shouted almost simultaneously:

"trust!"

Roy shouted again:

"Then can you guys leave the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters and go about your own business?"

All the mixed-blood elves responded loudly:

"Can……"

The sound waves of the mixed-blood elves even shook the tree of life.

Roy took two steps forward again, looked around before saying:

"Okay, everyone, please leave in an orderly manner. The elves on the outermost side can leave first..."

The thousands of mixed-blood elves gathered at the entrance of the Silver Pegasus Military Department actually started to move.

…

Bernal Shazo, the leader of the independent organization crowded in the crowd, looked at Roy standing on the steps from a distance. This was the first time he met Roy's boss from the Partington plane, who lived in Pad These days in Sto City, the name 'Boss Roy' is talked about most among the mixed-blood elves in the city.

He also heard that Boss Roy was a half-elf who looked like a human, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

A group of members of an independent organization saw the mixed-blood elves leaving one after another. At this time, they could not stand up and raise questions, so they could only gather around the leader Bernal.

"Chief, what should we do?" his subordinates asked in a low voice.

"Let everyone spread out and as the crowd evacuates..."

After Bernard Xiazuo gave his instructions, he followed the elves and walked out of the square.

…

Roy and Captain Berkeley did not return to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters, but took a carriage directly to the military camp of the Security Guard Regiment.

More than thirty mixed-blood elf warriors also went to the security guard camp with Roy.

Along the way, mixed-blood elf warriors continued to join the team.

"The trouble here has been solved for the time being. You need to come forward to handle the rest!"

Roy sat in the carriage and said to Captain Berkeley.

Captain Berkeley leaned back on the leather seat proudly and turned his gaze out the window.

"The news from the guards at the portal in the central square is that a Silver Pegasus knight entered Partington Island through the portal last night. I guess he was heading to the Queen Egwene Islands. Based on the flight time, the Silver Pegasus knight should be It will arrive at the Queen Egweni Islands in the early morning of the Partington plane.”

"The officials who are actually handling this matter will arrive in Padstow soon. I just don't know whether the officials sent by the senior military officials will choose to side with us or with General Kempfred... "

Roy asked: "What if it's Director Kempfred's side?"

"Then we have to find a way to drive him back!" Captain Berkeley said roguely.

Roy looked at Captain Berkeley speechlessly. Sometimes he always liked to make inappropriate jokes.

"Haha! Just kidding, if this matter can only be handled in the military court within the legion, maybe the verdict will be unfavorable to the mixed elf warriors, but now that this matter has spread, the top brass of the legion must take into account their own Face, so trust me! There will be a fair verdict.”

After finishing speaking, the leader of Berkeley began to complain again:

"Speaking of which, some of the consequences of this incident will cause me a lot of inconvenience. The Security Guard Corps may not be able to recruit mixed-blood elf warriors in Padstow City in a short period of time. I heard that there are many people living in Plateau City. Half-blood elf, how about I go to Plateau City and give it a try?"

Roy glanced at Captain Berkeley and said, "Okay, I will ask Mu Lin to cooperate with your recruitment activities..."

Thinking of Roy's half-blood elf female warrior with a hearty laugh, Captain Berkeley suddenly seemed to have bad memories.

Captain Berkeley asked curiously: "Speaking of which, how is your process of transforming the magic airship over at Partington Island?"

"We have already begun to renovate the tenth one. It's hard to avoid attracting attention with so many magic airships flying in through the portal at once, so I let the next two magic airships temporarily park in the sheltered fjord." Roy answer.

The leader of the Berkeley group hummed:

"You helped the mixed-blood elf warrior solve such a big trouble this time. It is estimated that you have completely entered the sight of the Silver Pegasus senior management. Although you have gained some reputation among the mixed-blood elves, you have also completely offended Earl Macaulay and the Silver Pegasus. Horse military power."

Roy said helplessly:

"But if I don't stand up at that time and no one can help them, do you think they will be sent to a military court and then charged with fleeing? A team consisting of two thousand mixed elves The army, two thousand mixed elves left voluntarily, and were sentenced to escape... Haha! "

Roy sneered twice at the end.

Captain Berkeley said in a low voice:

"I heard that the legion headquarters sent a group of Silver Pegasus Knights to Golfito. You probably know the current situation of the legion. I estimate that this is the time when the defense force of the Queen Egwene Islands is at its weakest. Maybe this time You also need to transfer your mine guard group to the Queen Egwene Islands, so don’t be in a hurry to bring those two magic airships over..."

…

This mass demonstration by the mixed-blood elves frightened the elf merchants in Ripadesto.

That afternoon, some businessmen packed their luggage and waited in front of the portal in the central square, waiting in line to leave the Partington plane.

There are also some mixed-blood elven collectors who have left Padstow City and entered the Padstow Forest to start collecting magic herbs.

Although the city is still very lively, there are more barriers hidden under the lively scene.

Some Silver Moon elves walking on the street can always feel the unkind eyes of the mixed-blood elves around them.

Similarly, the mixed-blood elves will also find that the Silver Moon elves always look around with vigilant eyes.

When the two parties communicate, there are many more things to do than before - be cautious.
