Chapter 675 676. Roy’s smuggling plan

The Knights Templar were stationed in a temporary camp only twenty kilometers away from Isnes.

Roy didn't expect that three thousand human priests would be smuggled out at once, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

Since the Mine Guards were about to evacuate from the Dark Portal, there was not enough time, so Roy could only bring the Templars back to the vicinity of the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp.

Three thousand human priests formed a mighty one-kilometer-long team, walking on foot in the wilderness of the Dark Land. The walking speed was not very fast, but their speed was very stable. Nearly three thousand priests were walking on the road. There was no sound, even the sound of footsteps was reduced to a minimum.

Some priests still wear tattered divine robes, but these divine robes are already in tatters...

Some priests have already put on the attire of the Demon Hunters from the Dark Land, wearing pockets and various weapons.

They looked like a group of refugees. Due to long-term malnutrition, the priests were generally thin and slightly stooped.

It's a good thing to be thinner, because elves are originally more slender than humans. If Roy wants to dress them up like elves, he must be thinner.

It's just that the rickety body is not in line with the habits of the elves.

When elves walk, they pay great attention to their manners.

Regarding this point, Roy needs these priests to practice hard...

…

Dark Portal Expedition Camp,

Roy walked back from the camp with a heavy heart. Deputy Captain Timothy wanted to tell Roy the specific details of the mine guard group's evacuation from the camp, but Roy did not stop at the camp, but went directly to the Dark Portal. Run straight back to Golfito.

Deputy Captain Timothy chased after him and asked the mixed-blood elf guard standing in front of the Dark Door:

"Why did the boss return to Golfito in such a hurry?"

The two mixed-blood elves shrugged their shoulders, saying that they didn't know...

Roy passed through the dark door that had stabilized. The space rift no longer showed signs of collapse. The unstable arcs no longer appeared in this rift. You could even see the long river of time and space through the passage...

Those magicians have left the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp, and they spent a lot of money and energy to repair the Dark Portal.

Next time I want to ask the Magic Guild to participate in sealing the Dark Portal, I guess these magicians will not be so easy to talk to...

This time, the Moon Goddess Temple assumed a posture of watching from the sidelines, and it was still aloof.

Later, there was basically no communication between the priests of the Moon Temple and the group of magisters from the Magic Union.

Roy came to the back garden of the Temple of Liberty. The door in front of the Dark Door was empty. There was not even an elf guard here.

The two priests of the Temple of the Moon were sitting under the shade of the trees by the pool, not looking at this side at all.

Roy walked directly along the long and narrow corridor to the main hall of the Temple of Liberty. Several elf guards could be seen in the corridor. The Silver Moon elf guards knew Roy. When they saw him passing by the corridor, they just glanced at him coldly. I will ignore it...

When we arrived at the main hall, the morning meeting had already dispersed.

Commander Gabrielleis was working in the main hall, and Roy waited at the door for a short while before going in.

Commander Gabriellesi sat behind his desk, put down the quill in his hand, placed the signed parchment on the corner of the table, and said to Roy:

"Roy, you're here just in time. The military department has communicated with the chief priest of the Moon Temple. The priests of the Moon Temple have agreed to purify the dark energy for the Silver Moon Elf guards. I plan to send out Silver Moon Elf guards within half a month. The Moon Elf guards have entered the Dark Land, and after your mine guard team has completed the handover, they can gradually withdraw from the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp."

"Yes, Legion Commander." Roy agreed happily.

After talking about this, the commander of the Gabriel Regiment asked Roy again: "Tell me! What do you want from me?"

Roy once again saluted the commander of the Gabriel Regiment, and then said:

"Lord Legion Commander, I met some priests living in the Dark Land at the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp. Some of them revealed that they want to return to the Elf Continent. Should we open the Door of Darkness to them?"

Commander Gabrieles frowned and thought for a moment before saying:

"If I look at this matter from my personal point of view, of course I am willing to open the door of convenience for these priests, but the current situation in Golfito is more complicated. Although we are responsible for guarding the Dark Door, the priests of the Temple of the Moon They are also monitoring this side, and they definitely don’t want those priests to return to the Elf Continent.”

He stared into Roy's eyes, as if he wanted to see into his heart, and finally said quietly:

"If you want to help an elf priest, it's best to do it in private... Do you understand what I mean?"

The first sentence is said very softly, and the latter sentence is said very strongly.

"I understand, you are really a wise legion commander." Roy said loudly.

The commander of the Gabriel Regiment immediately burst into laughter.

"If you could say this a year in advance, I might be happier. Then... Captain Roy, you will return to the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp immediately and make preparations for evacuation. This has been more than a year. Thank you for your hard work."

Probably knowing that Roy's mine guard regiment was about to leave Golfito, the commander of the Gabrielle Corps also became amiable. ,

"Yes, Lord Legion Commander."

Roy replied.

…

After Roy returned to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp from Golfito and walked back into the tent, he sat down on a chair, rubbed his temples with one finger, and closed his eyes to think about the next plan.

The Mine Guards were stationed at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp. Roy took the opportunity to purchase a large amount of dark monster materials at the Demon Hunting Camp, and he really made a lot of money.

I thought I could just pat my butt and leave the Dark Land.

But the Knights Templar came to the door at this time and wanted to return to the Elf Continent collectively...

"What's wrong? What trouble did you encounter?"

Timothy walked into the tent and first poured himself a cup of tea. Seeing that Roy looked very bad, he asked with concern.

Roy opened his eyes and said weakly:

"Timothy, I encountered a troublesome thing this time, and I need everyone's help."

Timothy stared at Roy.

He knew Roy's character. Roy's attitude meant that the matter was not serious, so he sat on the chair opposite Roy and waited for him to continue.

"I want to secretly bring a group of human priests to the Partington plane." Roy said immediately.

Deputy Captain Timothy breathed a sigh of relief and said casually: "Then let them blend into the mine guards. It shouldn't be too troublesome to bring them back to the Elf Continent."

Roy rubbed his forehead and said, "The trouble is that there are too many human priests..."

Timothy looked at Roy warily: "How many people?"

"About 3,000 human priests."

Timothy's eyes went dark, and then he lowered his voice to warn Roy:

"Boss, you must be crazy. How can so many human priests want to leave the dark land secretly? They are not magic materials. They can't be put into a magic waist bag and taken back. They are living humans - or human priests. The military and the Moon Temple will never agree. Once they are discovered, you will probably live in the basement on Parram Island for the rest of your life."

Seeing that Roy had no expression on his face, Timothy knew that he had failed to convince Roy.

Then he turned his eyes and suggested to Roy:

"We can submit a written application to Commander Gabreth. As long as the Golfito military agrees, we can take them back to the Elf Continent without any trouble."

Roy chuckled, with a smug look on his face:

"I have already said hello to Commander Gabreth. Although he won't publicly support it, he won't care about this kind of thing..."

Timothy's eyes widened. This Dark Moon Elf was completely confused.

"Three thousand human priests entering the Elf Continent, did he really acquiesce?"

Roy couldn't help but touch his nose and said with a guilty conscience:

"Well, I didn't say the specific number, and when these human priests arrive in Golfito, I will immediately send them to the magic airship, and then fly directly to the Partington plane. At that time, I will follow the last magic airship to leave Golfito, and you will take the first magic airship to Partington Island and go to the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters to find Chief Berkeley to apply for a portal pass."

He attached an action plan at the end. Although the idea is a bit rough, it is still very feasible...

"Got it, Boss Roy."

Timothy agreed.

What else can he do? Since Roy has made an action plan, he just needs to find a way to execute it.

He doesn't care who he smuggles or who he will face...

The worst case scenario is to live in the Parram Island Prison for a while. Maybe... after the matter is exposed, he can follow Boss Roy into the dark land and become a demon hunter. It's not bad to think about it.

Timothy kept preparing himself mentally, but then he heard Roy say:

"Okay, come with me to meet the group of human priests now."

Timothy's defense was completely broken...

...

Roy took Timothy to a hillside two kilometers away from the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp.

Timothy saw densely packed human priests. They built simple tents on the hillside, which looked very messy.

And they were vaguely divided into three small groups. They built tents and even had simple interference arrays to isolate the perception of ordinary dark creatures. It can be seen that they have very rich experience in surviving in the dark land.

However, these human priests looked like refugees fleeing from the disaster, wearing tattered robes and leather armor, without the slightest priest temperament.

Roy and Timothy walked into the camp and were stared at by a group of priests, which made Timothy a little uncomfortable.

Timothy wanted to hide in the shadows and avoid these eyes...

The three leaders, Jeroin, Flint, and Dicas, walked out of the tent at the same time.

Roy found that although these human priests were very thin and had been malnourished for a long time, each of them had clear eyes and their bodies were not corroded by the dark energy.

The thing that Roy couldn't understand the most was that if they were human priests during the period of Bishop Ocasi, then it meant that these human priests were at least over 200 years old, or even a little more.

The average lifespan of humans is 100 years old. A second-level strongman may live a little longer, but he will definitely not live more than 150 years old...

These human priests all looked to be in their 40s or 50s.

They have been living in the Dark Land. At first, Roy guessed that the Dark Land and the Elf Continent might have time speed, but he stayed in the Dark Land for more than a year. This time when he returned to the Elf Continent, he was sure that these two planes did not have time speed.

So if you want to force an explanation, it may be that the Dark Plane can actually delay aging...

"Captain Roy, is this difficult to do?"

Captain Jeroin asked worriedly.

The three captains of the Knights Templar looked at Roy.

Looking at their weather-beaten faces, Roy forced a smile.

"Everything went smoothly."

Roy comforted the three captains.

"My immediate superior, Captain Gabreth, also supports this matter very much. He has tacitly allowed me to continue."

"The only trouble is the priests of the Moon Temple. You should know that the relationship between the Statue of Liberty and the Moon Temple has always been very tense in the Elven Continent. As an outsider, the Statue of Liberty has always been excluded by the Moon Temple in the Elven Continent. If His Majesty Felix Michel had not actively sought for it from all parties, the Statue of Liberty would probably have found it difficult to gain a foothold in the Elven Continent."

"Once the news of your entry into the Elven Continent is known by the Moon Temple, it may be very troublesome. So we need to avoid the Moon Temple when entering the Elven Continent."

"My plan is..."

Roy began to talk about his plan.

Deputy Captain Timothy stood aside and listened to Roy talking about the so-called detailed plan. It was just a framework when he just left the expeditionary camp...

I didn't expect that Roy would now tell all the details.

After hearing Roy's detailed introduction of the smuggling plan, the three captains could feel Roy's sincerity and their hanging hearts were slightly relieved.

The biggest investment in this plan is that Roy will take out 3,000 sets of thorium-plated magic armor and magic weapons. All human priests must wear armor, equipped with magic weapons made by elves, and disguised as half-blood elf guards.

With the cooperation of Deputy Captain Timothy, 3,000 sets of thorium armor were delivered quickly.

In addition to the armor, even the fine linen shirts and soft leather inner armor worn inside, the magic swords of the elf guards, etc. were also delivered.

The group of priests looked at a pile of extremely complicated magic armors and didn't know how to wear them...

Fortunately, there were Dark Moon Elf warriors beside them to guide them, starting with the soft leather inner armor, and putting them on one by one... until they finally put on the thorium helmets. The priests were shining silver and were tightly wrapped in magic armor, with only the thin and dark faces exposed.

Deputy Captain Timothy looked at the group of human priests standing upright, took a step forward, came to a human priest, and stretched out his hand to pull down the mask on the helmet...

The human priest put on the visor, and the last flaw was completely covered.

In this way, a team of half-blood elf guards soon appeared in front of Deputy Captain Timothy in an orderly manner...
