Path of light

Chapter 717 718. Queen Island Naval Battle

Eight magic airships were uniformly equipped with whale hunting heavy crossbows. Each magic airship carried 500 half-blood elf guards. When the floating device was fully activated, the magic pattern array sprinkled pieces of light blue starlight around the airship.

When passing through the portal, all the half-blood elves in the square were cheering, and some even shouted for Boss Roy.

Then eight magic airships appeared above Partington Island, and they rose quietly from the cracks in the mountain.

Roy stood at the bow. He saw a team of silver Pegasus knights flying into the sky from the dock of Partington Island. When they came to the magic airship and wandered around, they just saw Roy standing at the bow and the half-blood elf guards on the deck.

These silver Pegasus knights saluted Roy and returned to the dock of Partington Port.

Today, Partington Island has become a material transfer station for the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

A large amount of war supplies are stored in the warehouse of the Partington Island Port Terminal. Originally, it was just an island terminal that could only dock three medium-sized sailing ships. After a few years of development, it has now expanded to dock twenty medium-sized sailing ships...

This is the most important shipping hub from the Elf Continent to the Queen Ewenni Islands. Every day, medium-sized sailing ships dock and ships leave the port.

All the supplies sent from the Partington plane must be sent out from the Partington Island Terminal.

Most of these supplies will be sent to Castletown Port, and then from Castletown Port to various places in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

Since there are currently nearly one million half-blood elves gathered on the Partington plane, the Partington plane is already the subsidiary plane that transports the most resources out of the many planes of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

It is also because of the huge tax revenue and the large amount of resources provided by the Partington plane that the 17th Silver Pegasus Corps has been stationed in the Queen Ewenni Islands for so long, and the Corps' logistics line has never collapsed...

The 17th Silver Pegasus Corps stored a large amount of military supplies in the warehouse on the port dock of Partington Island, and a steady stream of supplies were delivered to the Queen Ewenni Islands every day.

Under Roy's instructions, the magic airship did not stay on Partington Island. After flying out of the gap in the mountain belly, it climbed to the wind stratum.

In the wind stratum, the magic airships began to accelerate towards the Queen Ewenni Islands...

A medium-sized sailing ship sailed from Partington Island to the Queen Ewenni Islands, and it would take about a day and a night to reach the Queen's main island.

But the magic airship rose into the wind stratum, and three hours later, Roy saw the Queen's Island.

Standing on the ship's tower, Roy faced the fierce wind in the wind layer and saw an archipelago disappearing from his sight...

I still remember the first time I led the mine guards to the Key West Islands. At that time, the mine guards came to the island on a medium-sized sailing ship, and the half-blood elf warriors had nothing in their hands...

After stationed on that island for a few months, Roy took away eleven three-masted sailing ships before leaving.

It was these eleven three-masted sailing ships that accelerated the development of the Partington plane after being transformed into magic airships.

As the Sun Island Bay was included in the territory of the Partington plane occupation area, these magic airships went to Golfito Canyon again, and Roy's mine guards were also growing.

Now the number of half-elf warriors in Roy's mine guards has reached 20,000, not including 2,200 griffin cavalry, 1,500 assassin warriors, more than 8,000 siren warriors in the Sun Island Bay, and more than 20,000 highland headhunters...

On the Partington plane, the mine guards have expanded into an extremely large warship.

Eight magic airships came to the Queen Ewenni Islands to participate in the war. In fact, Roy also had a little selfishness. He planned to seize some more three-masted sailing ships of the gray dwarves...

This three-masted sailing ship built by the gray dwarves has a reasonable structure and is very strong. With the addition of the floating device, it can be used as a magic airship without any structural reinforcement.

In comparison, the medium-sized sailing ship of the Silver Moon Elves is much thinner. The hull will be deformed when leaving the water. Even with the floating device, it cannot fly into the sky.

Moreover, the hull of a medium-sized sailing ship is relatively small, and its stability will be very poor after entering the wind flow layer...

Eight magic airships broke into the airspace of Queen Island. In addition to the huge island standing in the sea, Roy also saw nearly a hundred three-masted sailing ships gathered in the eastern waters of Queen Island.

At this time, Roy wanted to rush over and shout loudly to the gray dwarf robbers on these three-masted sailing ships:

'Don't move, everyone get off my ship...'

The magic airship had slowly descended from the clouds. At this time, waves of attack horns came from the blue sea, and the entire sea seemed to be boiling because of this sound.

This time, the gray dwarf robbers were so powerful that Roy made a preliminary estimate. If every ship was full of gray dwarf robbers, there would probably be nearly 100,000 gray dwarves on more than a hundred three-masted sailing ships.

The total number of troops of the entire 17th Silver Pegasus Legion distributed in the Queen Ewenni Islands could not exceed 50,000. After all, the number of Silver Moon Elves was originally small, and the number of Silver Moon Elves willing to join the army was even smaller.

Of course, there is a good side. The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has absolute air superiority in the Queen Eweni Islands. After all, there are four Silver Pegasus Knights stationed here for a long time.

The horn sounded, and all the three-masted sailing ships drew waves on the sea...

Raise the sails, and the three-masted sailboat attacks with all its might.

Opposite the gray dwarf bandits are nearly a hundred medium-sized sailboats. This fleet is not up to the task when facing a large three-masted sailboat that is seventy or eighty meters long on the sea.

The gray dwarf bandits even hit the cannons on the three-masted sailboat. When the charge horn sounded, these cannons that spewed solid iron projectiles began to emit white smoke.

Pumpkin-like iron projectiles flew out from the gray dwarf bandits' sailboats, and only caused a small splash when they landed in the sea. However, once these iron projectiles hit the medium-sized sailboats of the Silver Moon Elves, they would almost directly smash a large hole in the hull of the medium-sized sailboat.

Some projectiles would even break the masts of the medium-sized sailboats, and when they fell on the bodies of the Silver Moon Elves' guards, they would almost all have broken bones and tendons. Some of the Silver Moon Elves' guards would be smashed to pieces by the iron balls ejected from the cannons.

The moment the charge horn sounded, the medium-sized sailboats of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion began to collapse.

There was not even a real confrontation between the two sides...

There were countless silver Pegasus knights scattered in the sky, flapping their white wings and circling back and forth in the sky. The silver Pegasus knights held long javelins in their hands and threw them at the three-masted sailing ship. For a time, the javelins fell like raindrops.

It was basically difficult for these javelins to destroy the hull of the three-masted sailing ship. The silver Pegasus knights almost all aimed at the gunners on the deck...

These javelins fell from a high altitude. Once they pierced the gray dwarf gunners, even if they were wearing barrel helmets, they would be directly pierced through the body by these magic spears, and then their bodies would be nailed to the deck.

Soon, a group of gray dwarves wearing full-covering dwarf chain mail held tower shields in their hands, completely covering the deck of the three-masted sailing ship, and would not retreat even if the spears in the sky fell frequently.

As for the cannons on the three-masted sailing ship, they were also firing frequently.

The medium-sized sailing ships of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion quickly retreated to the dock of Queen Island, and the fleet of three-masted sailing ships also rushed directly to the dock of Queen Island...

There are ten ancient war trees arranged side by side on the dock of Queen Island. These ancient war trees are sixty or seventy meters tall. Behind them is a large shoal covered with sea reefs. On the crowns of the ancient war trees, countless Silver Moon elves carrying forest bows stand. There are so many that they cannot be counted...

Looking at the large number of three-masted sailing ships on the sea, the Silver Moon elf guards on Queen Island became extremely nervous, especially the medium-sized sailing ships that almost fled back to the port dock. It is clear that in the battle plan, the medium-sized sailing ships are to attract the gray dwarf fleet to the edge of the pirates, but when such a scene of collapse appears on the sea, almost all the Silver Moon elf guards will feel a little weak at this moment.

A large number of artillery fire appeared on the three-masted sailing ships. The shells of these artillery ships are solid, and the damage caused is very limited, but the damage to the medium-sized sailing ships is still very serious.

Now the gray dwarf bandits filled all the decks. They raised their tower shields that were not full of iron nails and almost avoided all the javelins of the silver Pegasus knights in the sky.

The three-masted sailing ship in the front was moving very fast, and it rushed to the shallows of the port dock with an unstoppable momentum.

A large number of gray dwarves jumped onto the beach along the sides of the ship and approached the dock of Queen Island along the beach.

The ten ancient war trees on both sides of the dock used their strong wooden arms to roll up sea rocks and began to smash the three-masted sailing ships. The three-masted sailing ships were constantly broken by the boulders.

The silver moon elves on the ancient war trees took advantage of their height and sprinkled a rain of arrows at the gray dwarf bandits rushing up from the front of the port.

Unfortunately, these gray dwarf bandits relied on their strong physiques. They not only wore iron barrel-like helmets, but also held door-like tower shields outside the dwarf chain mail. The rain of arrows shot by ordinary forest bows could hardly hurt the gray dwarf bandits.

Thousands of gray dwarf bandits rushed onto the beach in the front, and some of them rushed onto the port dock. They engaged in close combat with the Silvermoon Elf guards on the port dock.

The elves' magic armor was exquisite and light, and their weapons were flexible and sharp. The gray dwarf bandits wore heavy armor, held tower shields, and carried war hammers or giant axes in their hands. They rushed forward and destroyed all the resistance they saw.

The elf warriors fought with the gray dwarf bandits with their flexible bodies. They tried to stab the long swords through the gaps in the armor and give the gray dwarves a fatal blow.

The gray dwarf bandits would take the opportunity to lock the elves' weapons with armor. If they did not let go of the weapons in their hands, they would be smashed in the head by the gray dwarf warriors with hammers in an instant.

As more and more gray dwarf bandits landed, the port dock soon lost nearly half of its defense.

The silver Pegasus knights in the sky could not cause any damage to the shield-bearing gray dwarf bandits on the deck, so they flew over the dock and fought against the Silver Moon Elf guards on the auxiliary port dock...

But the Silver Pegasus knights of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion were the main combat units on the battlefield.

Once the Silver Pegasus knights were assisting in the battle on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

The ten ancient war trees could only destroy the three-masted sailing ships that kept docking at the port. A large number of gray dwarf bandits boarded the medium-sized sailing ships and began to kill the Silver Moon Elf warriors on the medium-sized sailing ships.

The entire Queen's Island was filled with smoke...

...

Earl Swinburne, standing on the observation tower high above the Tree of Life, frowned. He and the other high-ranking officers of the legion had not expected that the gray dwarf bandits would be so determined to attack this time. They were almost willing to take over the Queen's Island at all costs.

Without the support of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion had already shown signs of defeat at the port dock.

Some legion staff even advised Earl Swinburne:

"My Lord, the gray dwarf bandits have successfully landed on the island. For safety reasons, the legion headquarters should leave the island in advance."

"The battle has just begun, and the outcome is still undecided. Have you, the staff, already started to consider the evacuation plan?"

Earl Swinburne asked angrily.

Several Silver Moon Elf staff officers on the side lowered their heads in shame, but still gritted their teeth and insisted: "Please ask the Earl to leave the island in advance..."

The Silver Pegasus Knights joined the battle at the port dock, throwing short flying spears from the sky, and immediately blocked the offensive of the gray dwarf robbers.

However, the scale of the gray dwarf robbers this time was a bit large. As the three-masted sailing ship behind continued to approach the port, more gray dwarf robbers rushed to the port dock.

At this time, someone pointed to a few black spots under the clouds in the sky and shouted loudly: "Look, what are those?"

"It looks like a magic airship!"

"It must be the magic airship of the gray dwarf robbers, quickly send the Silver Pegasus Knights to intercept it!" Some senior officers have begun to shout out.

"Wait, those magic airships look like those on the Partington plane..."

A Silver Moon Elf Guard Corps leader couldn't help shouting.

More senior officers began to notice the magic airships that were falling rapidly from high altitudes.

"Didn't they say that the Partington plane is under attack by the Dark Legion? Isn't that Captain Roy setting up a defensive line in the southern part of the plane?" Earl Macaulay approached Earl Swinburne and asked in a low voice.

Earl Swinburne squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. The magic airship in his eyes became clearer and clearer. He could even see the flag flying on the airship.

His eyes gradually became brighter...

...

Roy didn't expect the fleet to come to the Queen Ewenni Islands. It was really timely...

A large number of medium-sized sailing ships of the Silver Pegasus Legion were surrounded by three-masted sailing ships around the port dock. The front group of gray dwarf robbers actually successfully landed on the island. The Silver Pegasus Knights and the Silver Moon Elf Guards worked together to defend the port dock.

However, more and more gray dwarf robbers rushed out of the three-masted sailing ships, and they kept approaching the port.

The elves relied on ten ancient war trees to fight, but the gray dwarf robbers occupied the space. The port dock was full of gray dwarf robbers.

Roy urged the captain to let the magic airship descend quickly.

The captain was worried that the magic airship was falling too fast and the floating device would not be able to stabilize the magic airship's downward momentum, causing it to crash next to the port. He had to keep the six floating devices running normally.

Roy could only let the half-blood elf warriors aim the whale-hunting crossbow at the three-masted sailing ship of the gray dwarf robbers...

Magic explosive arrows flew out from the magic airship, like meteorites in the sky constantly falling on the three-masted sailing ship, and then balls of fire appeared in Roy's eyes.
