Path of light

Chapter 730 731. Return to Castletown

The Faceless Legion suddenly disappeared without a trace, which was undoubtedly good news for the half-blood elf guards and the sirens in the Sun Island Bay. After so many days of fierce fighting, everyone finally had a few days of rest.

Roy stayed in the Sun Island Bay for nearly a week.

During this period, the headhunter prisoners carried out a third large-scale reinforcement of the city wall, and even built four 30-meter-high arrow towers on the city wall, making the city wall blocking the entrance of the Sun Island Bay look like a gate.

Roy considered that after the naval battle, when dismantling this city wall, he would simply keep the four arrow towers and let the four arrow towers become the gate of the Sun Island Bay...

The third magic airship arrived at the Sun Island Bay and finally delivered a batch of magic crossbows. At present, Roy's mine guard group has become the largest purchaser of this type of magic crossbows. The purchase volume in the last three times is almost the inventory reserve of the Magic Guild for nearly three years.

The volume of orders Roy received later directly promoted the Mine Guards to VIP customers of the Silver Moon Elf Magic Guild, with the transaction amount exceeding 500,000 magic crystals.

Such a large number of purchase orders really frightened the Silver Moon Elves on the Elf Continent. Some Silver Moon Elf nobles even thought that this was some preparation made by the half-blood elves for the second riot. If so many giant magic crossbows were dropped into the Elf city, it would be enough to wipe out a city.

For this reason, Earl Swinburne had to send an elf to deliver a letter, asking Roy to make a detailed purchase application for the purchase of giant magic crossbows.

Roy was somewhat unable to understand. Obviously, this purchase was made through the relationship of the Great Magician Grams, but in the end, he still had to make a written report to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

Although he had to write a report, the Elf military could not interfere with the transaction on the Magic Guild's side. The order was not cancelled, and batches of materials were being transported from Wopeye to the Partington plane.

The magic airship stopped at the Plateau City on the Padstow Plateau. Roy stood at the airport pier and could just see the prisoner-of-war concentration camp across the Tora River.

All 55,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war had moved into the concentration camp outside the city. The entire camp was extremely crowded. The prisoner-of-war concentration camp had undergone a temporary expansion, and many facilities were in an unfinished state. The three main buildings in the camp, dormitories, canteens and toilets, were all in an uncapped state.

A large number of hollow bricks were stored in the Plateau City. It was actually very simple to build a courtyard wall and a one-story building, but the wood used to build the roof needed to be airlifted from the city of Padstow, which was the most troublesome.

There are 6,000 half-blood elf guards stationed in the Plateau City, of which 5,000 are responsible for guarding the concentration camp...

"You have transferred 5,000 half-blood elf guards from the Plateau City, which has made me live in fear every day recently, fearing that the prisoner concentration camp will suddenly riot... Do you know that there are not only 22,000 plateau headhunters living in the concentration camp, but also 55,000 gray dwarf prisoners? Once a riot occurs, even if these prisoners are unarmed, the 5,000 half-blood elf guards guarding the concentration camp will not be able to stop them at all."

In the office of the City Hall, Mu Lin came to Roy and said to him with a serious face.

"The number of half-blood elf residents in the Plateau City has increased to 300,000, and I have to be responsible for their safety."

Roy put down the copied sea chart and looked up at Mu Lin who was asking for an explanation:

"...So how is the recruitment of new guards going?"

Mu Lin glared at Roy fiercely. Sometimes she felt that Roy always liked to gamble when doing things, and this habit was not good at all.

"So far, the Plateau City has recruited 10,000 new half-blood elf guards, and the number of elf guards in the mine guard group has actually reached 30,000. This number can be split into six elf guard groups." Mu Lin said to Roy.

That is to say, Roy actually has six elven guard regiments...

Roy nodded softly and said:

"Let's do this for now. We can't form a new mine guard regiment now, and the military will not approve it."

Mulin sat down opposite Roy and asked: "What are you going to do with these gray dwarf prisoners of war?"

Roy said: "First select a group of blacksmiths and send them to the forge. Our forge is not big enough."

Thinking of the current situation of the forge, he immediately reported to Roy: "Now the black iron ore produced by the three black iron mines in the Jiaxi Mountains is all supplied to the forge. The construction of the plateau city has been consuming hollow bricks made of waste slag. The black iron ingots stored in the forge have now piled up into more than a dozen small hills."

Roy nodded and said: "Let Qian Ning transport a batch of mithril ingots to the forge. I plan to make a batch of heavy armor. Considering that it will be used in the sea, the surface of the armor needs to be silver-plated."

"Got it."

Mulin will seriously carry out what Roy arranges.

Roy continued:

"The rest of the gray dwarf prisoners will receive six months of training in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp. They need to learn the Elven language, learn to obey, and adapt to the new rules. Mulin, no matter how honest they behave, they are still a group of gray dwarves. They are born robbers among the dwarves. They have the bad habit of plundering other people's property in their bones. Although there are some blacksmiths among them, we must also be more cautious against them."

He paused, then said in a more severe tone: "When dealing with these gray dwarf prisoners, the stick is often more useful than the carrot."

Mulin frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Roy handing over the gray dwarf prisoners to her.

"It's already troublesome for me to manage 300,000 half-blood elves here, and I have to manage 80,000 prisoners who may explode at any time. It's really troublesome."

Roy raised his head and smiled slightly, saying: "You'll get used to it..."

Mulin rolled her eyes and wanted to refute it again.

In fact, as early as a year ago, she found that she couldn't keep up with Roy's pace. He walked too fast and refused to stay where he was.

Now, his hand has reached the sea of ​​the Partington plane. It just so happens that the Dark Faceless Legion is invading the plane at this time, and the half-blood elves of the Partington plane can't sit and wait for death...

At least the half-blood elves in the Plateau City are unprecedentedly enthusiastic about asking for battle.

The elves have never been so proactive in war as they are now.

I heard that Boss Roy had built a defense line in the Sun Island Bay, and more than 10,000 young half-blood elves rushed to join the mine guards.

Now, the Plateau City, which was designed and built for 100,000 half-blood elves, is crowded with nearly 300,000 half-blood elves...

The magic herbs on the Pagisto Plateau were almost dug out by the collectors.

But there are still a large number of half-blood elves coming to the Plateau City by magic airships.

Mullin looked out the window, and a magic airship slowly docked at the airport pier.

"Arrange these things as soon as possible. I will take this magic airship to Padstow later."

Roy's voice sounded in Mulin's ears...

...

Thirty-three three-masted sailing ships are still parked in the safe harbor of Partington Island. Roy needs to go to the imperial merchant Darwin in person to discuss the transformation of the magic airship.

He and the imperial merchant Darwin are old friends, and their relationship is very strong, because the magic herb business in the Partington plane maintains their friendship.

Roy walked out of the cabin and walked up the stairs to the rooftop. The sea breeze passed by him, and the statue of the Silver Moon Elf on the top of the mountain in the distance gradually became clearer.

Thinking of returning to Castletown City, I have to go see Moira first. It has been a few months since I last saw this well-behaved and lovely girlfriend.

Now, even Miss Tiffany lives in Sun Island Bay.

Without Miss Tiffany's company, Moira would probably be very bored.

The half-blood elf girl has been studying at the Elf Academy. Every time I see her, I can clearly feel her transformation from youth to maturity...

Every time I see her beautiful face, clear eyes like purple grapes, and jelly-like lips, Roy can't help but want to take a sip.

Her body is more sensitive, and even if she licks her pointed ears lightly, her whole body will become soft.

Clearly, he was a night blade leopard with bared teeth and claws because of nervousness the moment before, and the next second he turned into a civet cat with wide eyes...

Maybe it's been too long since we last met, and the longing is like spring water, flowing out from the treasure house of memory.

Roy stood on the top of the ship and blew the sea breeze for a long time. An elf recognized his identity, so the area on the top of the ship became a forbidden area, and no elf would come up without knowing the fun.

There were even some half-blood elves and silver moon elves on the deck who would secretly look at the roof. Roy certainly didn't like being watched, so he found a chair on the roof and sat down. A silver moon elf crew member also brought him a cup of hot tea and biscuits.

After sitting for a while, looking at the thief seagull that appeared at the stern, Roy knew that Castletown Port was about to arrive.

…

The port terminal has changed a lot. A tower crane fixed to the dock has been installed on the deepwater dock. This is to facilitate the lifting of various materials from the five-masted sailing ship.

Most of the merchant ships moored at the deepwater pier were still from the Green Empire, at least that's what Roy thought.

When he got off the boat, the buildings next to the pier seemed to be being renovated, and many half-elf carpenters were building some wooden shelves.

Probably because a large number of fishing boats were docked, the fish market opposite the pier was very lively, and a large group of vendors were crowded there.

Roy glanced casually at the west side of the pier. The Black Pearl was stranded on the beach as usual. The tide rose, and the Black Pearl was surrounded by sea water...

The white manor on the cliff next to the Black Pearl was still so dazzling in the sun.

Roy couldn't help but think of Princess Ophelia. He didn't know how this history teacher was doing in the Elf Academy recently...

At the pier of Castletown Port, large merchant ships were neatly arranged.
