Chapter 683 684. Plateau City

There is a nearly four-kilometer-long city wall built on the south side of the Plateau City. This city wall is nearly 30 meters high. Together with the Tuolai River that surrounds the city on three sides, it tightly surrounds the Plateau City.

Not only was a riverside dock built next to the river bank of the Plateau City, but an eight-meter-high embankment was also built, with both ends of the embankment connected to the city wall.

Even if the rainy season comes and heavy rains fall continuously on the wilderness for a month, the water of the Tuolai River will not be able to overflow the embankment and flow into the plateau city...

A magic airship flew from Sun Island Bay. It landed from the clouds a bit fast. When it was still dozens of meters away from the airport tower, the magic airship re-lit the floating device, allowing the magic airship to descend. The speed increased, and then he leaned firmly on the tower, making a muffled sound.

The mixed-blood elves in the city have long been accustomed to the magic airship flying over the plateau city...

He didn't care much about how many magic airships were floating above his head. The people who cared most about these magic airships were the Silver Moon Elf merchants in Plateau City.

When Silver Moon Elf merchants come to Plateau City, they almost always snap up a batch of metal ingots at the metal trading hall in the city, and then go to the airport terminal to queue up to buy cargo tickets for the magic airship.

Freight tickets are difficult to buy. Silver Moon Elf merchants usually have to queue up in advance and wait patiently in the plateau city. While they are waiting for their return, they will buy some scattered magic in the free market in the city. Herbal medicine…

Most of the Silver Moon Elf merchants who come to Plateau City to do business currently do business this way.

The profit from selling metal ingots is low, but it is profitable after all.

The business of magical herbs is highly profitable, but the collectors of mixed-blood elves are not willing to contact Silver Moon Elf merchants at all.

Although under Roy's initiative, the mixed-blood elf collectors were finally willing to sell some magic herbs to these Silver Moon elf merchants, the cooperation between the two parties was still limited to a small amount of primary magic herbs.

Although the business environment in Plateau City is poor, there are still elf merchants pouring in here.

All the buildings in the City of Plateau have been completed. The elves' pursuit of beauty has always been endless. There are some more stone carvings on the walls of the buildings in the city...

This time Roy arrived at the airport terminal in a magic airship and saw a row of Silver Moon Elf merchants guarding the gate of the airport terminal.

When Roy got off the airship first, these Silver Moon Elf merchants gathered around the exit of the tower stairs.

"Hey friends, where are you all from?"

"...Is there anyone selling magic herbs?"

Silver Moon Elf merchants speak this imperial language fluently.

Through the crowd, Roy saw Mulin waiting outside the airport terminal at a glance. Roy took sisters Leah and Alice through the crowd and arrived across the street from the crowded airport terminal.

Mu Lin hugged Roy and said to Roy with a smile:

"I thought you would stay at Sun Island Bay for a few more days."

"The placement of human priests went very smoothly. They didn't need me, so I came back."

Roy said with a smile, and then introduced Leah and Alice to Mu Lin...

The group took a carriage back to the City Hall of the Plateau City.

This square building was designed by Roy. The thirty-six Roman columns on the outside look very impressive.

Mu Lin asked her assistant to take Leah and Alice for a walk around the city hall, and Roy followed Mu Lin into the office.

"What did Captain Helic say?" Roy asked Mu Lin.

Mulin walked to the desk, took out a letter from the drawer, and handed it to Roy.

"The letter said that if they don't accept the Plateau Headhunter prisoners of war, they won't be able to feed those Plateau Headhunter prisoners of war with limited logistical supplies. The best way is to bury these Plateau Headhunter prisoners of war on the spot."

Roy remained silent for a long time before raising his head and asking Mu Lin:

"How many plateau headhunters are currently in the concentration camps in the city of plateau?"

"If you don't count the old, young, sick and disabled, there are currently 12,000 plateau headhunters imprisoned in the concentration camp. If you don't count the old, young, sick and disabled, there are at least 15,000 plateau headhunters in the concentration camp." Mu Lin did not hesitate. said.

"..."

Roy fell silent again, because the Plateau City Concentration Camp was designed to accommodate 10,000 plateau headhunters. Now, 15,000 mixed-race elves were squeezed into the concentration camp, which was obviously excessive.

There is currently no place to expand a new concentration camp in the city, and it is impossible to build a new prisoner of war concentration camp outside the city, because the original intention of building the plateau city was actually to deal with these plateau headhunter prisoners of war.

It's just that Roy didn't expect that the mixed elves who occupied the land of their ancestors didn't want to stop their campaign and actually continued to explore the ice fields north of the plateau.

Roy is actually very interested in this kind of plane exploration.

In fact, he is planning to form a fleet this time to explore Partington Sea along the coastline of Sun Island Bay to the west...

"Write a letter to Commander Helik and ask him to send someone to escort these plateau headhunters over. We will accept this group of prisoners of war and exchange logistical supplies with them according to the number of prisoners of war, including arrow clusters, metal ingots, and elf biscuits. , dried fruits, dried fish, etc.”

Roy said very seriously.

"Yes, Boss Roy."

Mu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and gave Roy a military salute.

…

In the eyes of Leah and Alice, although this plateau city is several times smaller than Padstow, the buildings in this city are well-organized...

The streets and alleys are paved with stone slabs, and most of the roads are gentle slopes.

There are also shops on both sides of the street. A large number of half-blood elves gather in the city. Many streets have some stalls, which are almost all scattered magic herbs.

"We should stay in Sun Island Bay." Alice complained to Leah in a low voice.

Leah stood in front of a pile of wooden boxes, and pulled the hay inside through the gaps in the wooden boards. There were some heavy metal ingots inside.

"The plateau city is actually pretty good." Leah responded while looking around.

The two sisters walked to the square in front of the main gate of the plateau city, and saw a magic airship appear again over the dock...

However, there is only one platform at the airport dock. Before this magic airship is loaded, other magic airships cannot dock, so they can only quietly float the magic airship next to it.

…

At the same time,

In the hotel of Plateau City, the three leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Guard walked out of the hotel together after getting dressed.

They also received the news that Roy had arrived in Plateau City. This time they went to the city hall just to meet Roy and ask him for some help, otherwise their mine would really not be able to operate.
