Path of light

Chapter 714 715. Padstow Parliament

The battle continued until dawn, when the first rays of sunlight appeared over the sea.

Those faceless warriors began to retreat into the deep sea, and these dark faceless warriors quickly hid in the dark abyss.

After the faceless warriors die, they will float on the sea and be pushed to the beach by the waves. These corpses will melt quickly in the sea and turn into thick black grease...

On the beach, the dark Faceless warriors who were shot into ice sculptures by magic crystal arrows finally began to melt slowly after the sun appeared on the sea level.

At this moment, there are already fish-man spirits who will take advantage of the dark faceless warriors' ice crystal state to smash their heads with hammers, eventually turning them into carrion without vital signs.

There were at least two thousand Faceless warriors who died in the sea and shoals outside Sun Island Bay that night.

After three thousand sea monsters fought hard all night, hundreds of sea monsters were entangled in the body by the faceless warriors, and their bones were broken to death. More sea monsters were injured to varying degrees, and their bodies were also contaminated. An extremely corrosive dark energy.

After the priests of the Knights Templar were busy all night, many priests had exhausted the power of the Holy Light.

Captain Jeroin relocated a group of priests from the north coast camp, and they were busy providing post-war treatment to the Kraken warriors. Roy saw that Alice was among them. He hadn't seen Leah for several days. When he saw Alice busy treating the injured Siren Warrior, he did not go over to ask.

Instead, the sea monster Zezena dragged her tired body to Roy's side and rested against a sea rock.

"I didn't expect that the battle with the dark faceless warriors would be like this. This victory is really not easy..."

Jiezena sighed with emotion, then turned her head to look at Roy:

"But we still won! With the blessing of blessed magic, we used the weapons made by the elves to severely damage the faceless army. Now I just feel like my whole body is falling apart. I am tired and sleepy, but I am so excited that I fall asleep. No, Roy, can you understand how I feel now?"

"Did the anger accumulated in my heart suddenly pour out, and I found a glimmer of victory ahead?" Roy looked at the group of human priests on the beach and asked Zezena.

Jiezena shook her hair and let the sea breeze blow by, her long hair fluttering with the wind...

Then she looked at the sea in the distance with her golden eyes and said in a low voice:

"They said that all the Kraken tribes in the Western Sea were dispersed by the Faceless Men. At least three-quarters of the Kraken warriors died at the hands of the Dark Faceless Warriors. Do you know how many Kraken live in the Western Sea? ?”

Before Roy could answer, Zezena said to Roy: "There are at least half a million sirens."

After saying this, Jiezena lowered her head and said softly: "I thought this time the Faceless Men Legion would wipe out all the sea monsters in the western sea..."

Her eyes were full of bitterness.

"I have always believed that in the western sea, the Kraken clan is the strongest overlord here. Almost no force can become the enemy of the Kraken, not even the mixed-blood elves living south of the Griffin Barrier Mountains. The elves can only If you can live in the forest, there is no way to occupy the ocean.”

"It wasn't until the Faceless Men Army appeared that I realized that the Kraken Clan's real enemy had appeared, but we were not prepared at all..."

Jiezena said a lot to Roy...

Jezena also said that during the battle between the Kraken warriors and the Faceless Warriors, the number of Kraken warriors who were strangled with their tentacles by the Faceless Warriors was actually limited. The greatest damage to the Kraken Warriors was from the surrounding bodies of the Faceless Warriors. Those dark energies.

Once a Siren warrior is contaminated with the energy of darkness, his body will be severely corroded by the energy of darkness.

What caused the massive attrition of the Siren Warriors was actually the dark energy within the Faceless Warriors...

But now the dark energy is no longer a concern for the Siren warriors, because with the presence of these priests of the Knights Templar, the priests will purify the dark energy from all the Siren warriors after the battle.

Another point is that the faceless warriors have an absolute advantage in strength.

The power blessings given by the priests to the Siren Warriors just made up for this shortcoming...

What's more... The Siren warriors are now equipped with magic weapons made by elves. These magic weapons can ignore the tough skin of the Faceless warriors. When fighting, they can easily cut through the bodies of the Faceless warriors with sharp swords. .

The Kraken warriors are more flexible in the sea...

With their flexible bodies, they can constantly fight with the Faceless Warriors in a narrow area. When their strength and weapons are strengthened, the Kraken Warriors become the dominant side on the battlefield.

When the two sides were fighting in the sea, the advantage of the Siren warriors was actually not obvious, but once the battlefield moved to the sea or the beach, the casualties of the Faceless warriors would increase instantly.

The magic airship suspended in the air and the whale hunting crossbow built on the arrow tower on the top of the mountain will continuously shoot magic crystal arrows.

Once these magic crystal arrows hit the dark faceless warriors, the bodies of these faceless warriors will soon condense into ice crystals.

These ice crystals can be easily broken, and the body of the faceless warrior frozen in the ice crystals will also be shattered.

…

In the next half month, the Faceless Legion in the Western Sea would send a large number of Faceless warriors to attack Sun Island Bay almost every night.

Due to the serious casualties of the Siren Warriors in the early stage, Roy ordered the Siren Warriors to retreat to the entrance of Sun Island Bay. Only the Faceless Warriors tried to rush into the Sun Island Bay. The Siren Warriors would fight fiercely with the Dark Faceless Warriors at the narrow bay entrance.

Recently, these Faceless Warriors also tried to cross the arc-shaped mountains and directly enter the Sun Island Bay. Unfortunately, because Roy built arrow towers and walls between the mountains, the Faceless Warriors' smuggling plan failed.

In recent days, the Faceless Warlord has never appeared on the battlefield, which also caused the Dark Faceless Army to never enter the Sun Island Bay...

The Faceless Army and the Siren on Sun Island are in a stalemate in this state.

Every time the Faceless Warriors capture the Sun Island Bay, they will cause a large number of casualties.

The entire outer sea of ​​the Sun Island Bay is also stained like ink by the bodies of the Faceless Warriors...

But the Siren Warriors have won after all.

For a long time, some dark faceless warriors were killed every day, and the siren warriors on the Sun Island even summed up a set of effective tactics.

The siren Jie Zena, who led the siren warriors to fight the faceless warriors in close combat every day, also successfully promoted to a second-level strongman according to the notes left by the commander Alcesar in this frequent fierce battle.

She is only one step away from becoming a sea beast priest.

To become a sea beast priest, she must find an opportunity to enter the deep sea and sign a magic contract with a deep-sea beast, so that she is qualified to become the leader of the siren clan.

At present, the deep sea in the western sea area is occupied by the faceless army. Jie Zena cannot enter the deep sea for the time being, so this matter can only be postponed.

The dark faceless army was unable to capture the Sun Island Bay. This matter soon spread, and soon some scattered sirens sneaked into the Sun Island Bay. They came from different seas, and almost all of them were in some remote corners of the western bay because their siren tribes were defeated by the faceless army.

When these sirens heard that the sirens in Sun Island Bay were resisting the Dark Faceless Legion, they gathered here.

Roy had never expected that the number of siren warriors in Sun Island Bay would increase. Every day, more siren warriors came. The number of siren warriors increased from the initial 3,000 to more than 8,000 in more than a month.

Sun Island has a limited area, and even on the narrow beach inside the arc-shaped mountain range, there are many siren camps.

The situation in Sun Island Bay is gradually stabilizing...

...

Roy calculated the time and found that he had been guarding Sun Island Bay for nearly four months.

A large amount of war supplies were stored in the warehouse at the north shore dock of Sun Island Bay. These supplies were almost bought by Roy with all his wealth from the Mine Guard Corps, including giant whale-hunting crossbows and magic crystal arrows, excellent quality thorium magic armor, excellent quality elven magic weapons, etc.

The most elite half-blood elven warriors of the Mine Guard Corps also gathered in Sun Island Bay.

Since the battlefield was always near the entrance of Sun Island Bay, and the main force was also the Siren Warriors, the 10,000 Elf Guards of the Mine Guards had never participated in the battle, so in March 1412, nearly 8,000 Mine Guards took the magic airship back to the Plateau City.

Five thousand Plateau Headhunters stayed in Sun Island Bay, and they will continue to build the stone wall between the arrow towers on the mountain.

According to Roy's interruption, the height of this stone wall should be flush with the arrow tower. Roy even planned to build a gate with a width of 200 meters at the entrance of Sun Island Bay to completely block the entrance of Sun Island Bay.

However, the draft design of this gate has not been completed yet...

...

During this period, Miss Christine formed the Elf Elders Council in Padstow City.

There are twelve members in the Council of Elders. Roy and Chief Berkeley both became members of the Council of Elders. In addition, Mulin, Resander, and Captain Tiprado were also recommended by Roy and became members of the Council of Elders in Padstow City as half-elves.

That is to say, Roy suddenly had four votes in the Council of Elders in Padstow...

However, since the formation of the Council of Elders, Roy, Mulin, and Captain Tiprado have never appeared in the Council of Elders in Padstow.

Only Resander occasionally attends the Council of Elders, but he also sits in the corner of the meeting room and rarely speaks.

Roy even forgot about becoming a member of the Elder Council. After all, the war in Sun Island Bay had made Roy very anxious for a while...

Roy didn't know that the hiring of half-blood elves as members of the Elven Elder Council had caused a stir in the noble circles of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom two months ago. Half-blood elves serving as members of the Elder Council had never been seen before in other places in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

The Silver Moon Elf nobles condemned Miss Christine for breaking the rules. How could a half-blood elf be qualified to enter the Elder Council...

In response, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, the controller of the Partington plane, issued a statement, stating that:

The Partington plane is a plane where half-blood elves are the main residents. The number of half-blood elves on the plane accounts for more than 95% of the total elf population. Therefore, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion decided to give four seats to those half-blood elves with outstanding achievements.

The names of Roy, Mu Lin, Lysander and Captain Tiprado appeared on the statement...

This incident caused a commotion in Padstow City, but there was indeed no movement at all in the Plateau City and Sun Island Bay.

After the situation at Sun Island Bay stabilized, Roy finally took the time to take the magic airship back to the Plateau City.

Here, he heard Mu Lin talk about becoming a council member of Padstow City, and Mu Lin also asked Roy if there should be a council of elven elders in the Plateau City.

"Don't you think there are enough things to do? Let's maintain military control here in the Plateau City for the time being. This city was originally built to house prisoners of war from the Plateau Headhunters."

Roy stood on a terrace of the city hall and said to Mullin.

At this moment, the prisoner-of-war camp across the Tuolai River outside the city has been built. There are many mixed-blood elf guard soldiers standing on the sentry tower. Roy asked Mu Lin casually:

"How many Plateau Headhunters prisoners of war are left in the prison camps now?"

"So far, there are still 22,000 plateau headhunter prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp..." Mu Lin asked her assistant to take out an account book, checked it a little and responded.

Roy was startled by Mu Lin's words. He turned his head and stared at Mu Lin and asked:

"Why are there so many prisoners of war? Have you included the five thousand prisoners of war on the other side of Sun Island Bay? Those prisoners of war will probably stay on Sun Island for a while."

"No, Captain Herrick's army is still fighting in the northern tundra. The headhunters caught along the way will be sent here once if they gather one or two thousand people. In the past month, I have received two waves of them. Prisoners of war," Mu Lin reported to Roy Hui.

Roy frowned and said to Mu Lin:

"Write a letter to Captain Helic later and ask him what he wants to do? It's so cold in the north and not suitable for elves to live. What's the use of opening up the territory there!"

"Got it, boss."

After Mu Lin finished speaking, she continued: "The mines on the other side of the Kaltim Mountains have stopped working again. All Silver Moon elves have evacuated from the mines. Currently, all the mines in the Kaltim Mountains are vacant. Boss, we Do you want to take it back?"

Roy shook his head,

"It's not necessary for the time being. It's probably because the situation on the Queen Egwene Islands is relatively tense. All the Elf Guard Groups have withdrawn to the Queen Egwene Island."

"Channing went to the Nicobar Mountains to investigate the mines there. What are the specific conditions?"

Roy asked Mu Lin again.

"Qian Ning came back last time and said that the main mine tunnels of all the mines had been blown up, and the mines were severely destroyed by the mine owners. It is estimated that it will require a lot of manpower and material support to rebuild, and the mines The hole may need to be reopened…”
