Chapter 686 687. Exploring the Nicobar Mountains

In the city hall of Plateau City, Miss Channing walked through the corridor and went straight to the door of the innermost office.

Along the way, many mixed-blood elves were greeting Miss Qian Ning...

The mixed-blood elven officers are still very familiar with the mine owner who came out of the Sudarso Mountains. During the days when the mine guard group was fighting against the plateau headhunters in the Gasan Mountains, the one who gave the guard group the greatest support was North and south mithril mines in the Sudarso Mountains.

Most of the mixed-blood elf officers in the mine guard group knew this Miss Channing.

‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

Miss Channing stood at the door and knocked gently.

"Come in……"

Roy's voice came from the room. Miss Channing pursed her lips, lowered her head and adjusted her long skirt, then opened the door and walked in.

This office is actually not that big. Roy was standing in front of the round table in the corner, holding a charcoal pen and square in his hand, and was writing and drawing on the map. He looked back and saw Miss Qian Ning standing there. At the door, he nodded to Miss Qian Ning, pointed to the leather sofa in the room, and said to Qian Ning:

"Qian Ning, please sit down for a while. I'll be ready soon. How are the arrangements at the Sudarso Mithril Mine?"

"Boss, even if I'm not here, the Sudarso Mithril Mine can still operate normally. You called me here...which mine do you want me to manage?" Qian Ning raised his delicate eyebrows and asked Roy asked.

The way she sits on the sofa is more elegant than the Silver Moon Elf noble...

The fluffy skirt spread out on the sofa.

"In the preliminary inspection of the mines in the Nicobar Mountains, there are some mithril mines there, so I don't think any mine is more professional than you in this aspect." Roy crouched and kept looking at the parchment map Write and draw on it.

Although Qian Ning did not get close enough to observe it, he could tell from the general shape of the map that it should be a map of Sun Island Bay.

"Nicobar Mountains?"

Miss Channing was a little surprised.

The Nicobar Mountains belong to the eastern mountains of the Pagisto Plateau. The Nicobar Mountains are very vast, and the mountains in the most peripheral areas are even closely connected with the eastern Collapse Mountains.

The Nicobar Mountains were among the last areas occupied by the Mine Guards.

The original mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains had filled in the mines before fleeing the Pagistow Plateau.

Moreover, there is also a group of plateau headhunters operating around the Nicobar Mountains. It can be said that that area is very dangerous...

"The highland headhunters in the Nicobar Mountains have been jointly eliminated by the Griffin Cavalry and the Assassin Chapter, so you don't need to consider safety issues when heading to the Nicobar Mountains this time."

"Several mines in the Nicobar Mountains have been abandoned to this day. If we no longer find a way to develop them, I guess the military will arrange for some Silver Moon Elf guard groups to come over."

"I think you should have heard about the situation in the mines in the Kartim Mountains. I don't want the mithril mines in the Nicobar Mountains to be like that. After thinking about it, you are the only one. I am quite familiar with the mineral veins of the Mithril Mine, so I plan to... let you go to the Nicobar Mountains to have a look."

Roy stopped what he was doing, turned around and said to Miss Channing.

After saying that, he leaned down again and began to draw on the map.

Miss Qian Ning finally couldn't help but stood up and walked over. Unexpectedly, Roy had drawn a navigation route on the map.

"Okay, that area has always been the territory of headhunters. Although I grew up on the Pagisto Plateau, I haven't been there yet..." Miss Channing agreed happily.

Roy didn't expect the conversation to go so smoothly. He paused before saying:

"I will send a squadron of elven guards and two squads of gryphon cavalry to go with you to the Nicobar Mountains. You go there this time to write me a feasibility report on restoring the normal operation of the mithril mine. come out."

"I will write this report seriously, boss."

Miss Qian Ning stood next to Roy, watching him draw a curve very seriously, biting her lip and said to Roy:

"Boss, are you planning to explore the waters beyond Sun Island Bay?"

She wore such a beautiful dress, but Roy didn't even say a word of praise and assigned her tasks as soon as she came in. This made Miss Channing very unhappy.

She stood behind Roy and secretly rolled her eyes at him.

Roy didn't look back.

"Absolutely. This time I plan to go west along the coastline and will not enter the depths of the sea. Although there are no Naga sea tribes in the sea of ​​Partington plane, there are many sea monsters living in this sea area. I heard It is said that those sea monsters control many fish-men tribes, and the mine guard group does not intend to contact those sea monsters yet. "

Roy said calmly.

To put it bluntly, this time Roy just wanted to walk west along the coastline...

Miss Channing looked at the map of the Pagisto Plateau hanging on the wall. The area belonging to the Nicobar Mountains was just a few simple lines, so she said to Roy:

“This time I go to the Nicobar Mountains, I must draw a map of the route I take.”

Looking at Roy's back, I don't know since when, Miss Qian Ning always felt a little strange in her heart...

…

Miss Channing only stayed in the plateau city for three days, and then headed to the Nicobar Mountains alone with an army of sixty mixed-blood elf guard warriors and twenty-four gryphon cavalry.

While Roy was stationed at the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp in Golfito Canyon, Deputy Commander Tennyson led the Dark Moon Elf Warriors and Griffin Cavalry to plow through the Nicobar Mountains. The plateau headhunters in the field quickly disappeared.

This time Roy sent Miss Channing to the Nicobar Mountains to survey the abandoned mines, and she also confirmed one thing from Deputy Commander Tennyson: There are no groups of plateau headhunters currently operating in the Nicobar Mountains.

According to Deputy Commander Tennyson's report, the mines in the Nicobar Mountains were severely damaged.

Therefore, Roy felt that before resuming normal operation of these mines, an experienced mine owner was needed to explore the conditions of the abandoned mines there.

Roy searched through his group of mine owners several times, and finally selected Miss Qian Ning from among the many mine owners.

Because the two mines in the Sudarso Mountains are also mithril mines, and Miss Qian Ning also personally participated in the reconstruction of the two mithril mines, Miss Qian Ning should be the most concerned about the mithril mines. Have a say.

…

Roy has been busy with one thing in Plateau City recently. He is preparing to lead a fleet of magic airships westward along the coastline of Sun Island...

Captain Helic led the mixed-blood elf rebels to open the way to the northern ice sheet in the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau, and captured many plateau headhunters along the way.

As the strength of the Mine Guard Group continues to grow, Roy is also planning to explore westward along the Sun Island Bay.

The trade of magic herbs and magic metals in the Partington plane allowed Roy to quickly accumulate a lot of wealth.

Now, the Mine Guard Group possesses the most sophisticated magical equipment of the Silver Moon Elf military.

These weapons and armors have armed the mixed elf guard warriors almost to the teeth...

Elf armies have never been known for their prowess.

Their ability to stand firm on the battlefield relies entirely on sophisticated magic equipment.

Roy bought the most sophisticated magic armor for the mine guard group through the channels of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion...

This armor is the top magic armor that the Silver Moon Elf Infantry Guard Group can purchase.

Of course, there is still a certain gap between these magic armors and the magic pattern structures worn by the Silver Pegasus Knights, but they are at least many times stronger than ordinary full-cover metal armors.

After two months of repairs, Roy re-selected 6,000 mixed elf guard warriors and 1,000 gryphon cavalry, and gathered at the Sun Island Bay Pier.

And he also mobilized eight magic airships to form an expedition fleet at the dock of Sun Island Bay.

He was worried that high-level monsters would appear deep in the Partington plane, and he did not dare to let the gryphon cavalry fly too far.

With the fleet of magic airships, the Griffin Cavalry can explore the land along the western coastline of Sun Island. The Griffin Cavalry can not only explore the inland area two hundred kilometers away from the coastline, but also use the magic airship as a foothold. , flying hundreds of miles into the depths of the sea.

Before traveling, Roy made a lot of preparations.

They even borrowed the Whaling Heavy Crossbow from the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

This ship-borne heavy crossbow is a heavy weapon used by the Silver Moon Elves in naval battles with the Naga Sea Clan, and is specifically designed to hunt down some large sea beasts.

…

The weather was clear and cloudless.

The waves crashed onto the beach, leaving some white foam behind.

The crew at the Sun Island Bay Pier are all on the magic airship, making final preparations before departure.

This time the magic airship will be restored to a three-masted sailing ship, form a fleet and go out to sea.

A magic airship landed in the sea near Sun Island Pier...
