Chapter 809 810. Conflict on the Island

The half-elf crew members appeared beside the ship. They picked up ropes as thick as their arms from the deck and threw them onto the dock.

At this time, the fog dissipated a little, and the faces of the half-elves on the ship gradually became clear.

But standing on the dock were some strange creatures in strange costumes. There were blond, white-skinned Imperials wearing pirate costumes, orcs with two fangs sticking out of their mouths, gray dwarves with naked upper bodies and long beards, and even some lizard men with human bodies and lizard heads on their necks.

Of course, these are still considered normal races.

In addition to these, Roy also saw some mermen standing on the dock, but they were obviously not the sub-humans on the reef island with the IQ of a five-year-old human. These mermen had strong limbs and very flexible eyes. When looking at them, he would find that they were very smart.

There are also humans with octopus heads, shark heads, or humans with limbs transformed into fish fins...

Pairs of eyes were repeatedly looking at the ships on the dock, with greed, cunning, expectation, and doubt...

The most special thing is the penguin standing on a broken anchor at the edge of the pier.

It also looked a bit like an Owl Beast, with a very fat body, two meters tall, and shouted in a loud voice:

"Welcome to Lupstead Island in the Lost Sea. Please go to the dock management office to pay the berthing fee. The berthing fee for a three-masted sailboat is two magic crystals per day."

It actually understood the languages ​​of various races. Roy listened to it speaking in Elvish, and then it switched to Dwarven, Naga, and Imperial...

At this time, the mutated sea creatures on the dock also discovered that there were actually a group of half-elves on the three-masted sailing ship.

Suddenly, the aliens at the port dock became excited.

The half-elf crew lowered the sampan, and Roy was the first to step off the three-masted sailboat.

A lizardman wearing hunter leather armor licked his lips and nostrils with his tongue, then said to Roy hatefully:

"Imperial people, when you come here, you must put away your arrogance and unreasonableness, and don't think that your Construct Knights can conquer everything. This is the Lost Sea, so it's best to be honest."

Roy stared speechlessly at the strong lizard man standing in front of him.

At this time, Sabrina also followed Roy and walked down from the three-masted sailboat.

A team of half-elf guards followed behind. They were wearing silver armor, wielding exquisite magic swords, and marching in unison.

Seeing the half-elf guards marching off the ship in a line, the islanders on the dock became excited again.

"Half-blood elf, it's actually a half-blood elf. How dare a half-blood elf come here?"

Two half-elf guards were still escorting the gray dwarf captain, whose arms were bound with oily hemp ropes, and he followed them down dejectedly.

During these few days, the gray dwarf captain has learned how to avoid suffering.

When the islanders on the dock saw the gray dwarf captain, they immediately started shouting again:

"Oh my God! How did the gray dwarves become slaves? The half-elves became slave traders. Has the world begun to change?"

Some even pointed at the half-blood elf guards and asked:

"You are selling gray dwarves on this island. Aren't you afraid that the gray dwarves here will kill you?"

"Even if you dare to sell it, I'm afraid no one will dare to buy it."

"I advise you to run quickly before the gray dwarves arrive. I'm afraid they are already on their way."

Another orc warrior wearing chain mail came up and asked Roy:

"Hey, boy, how much is this gray dwarf slave?"

Roy turned his head and glanced at the orc, but ignored him.

A half-elf guard reached out and pushed the lizardman in front of Roy.

“Please move aside!”

The half-elf guard obviously underestimated the strength of the lizard man. His hand pressed on the lizard man's leather armor, but the lizard man hunter's body did not move at all...

The lizardman hunter gave the half-elf guard an exaggerated sneer.

The next second, a white arm pressed on the Lizard Hunter's shoulder, and the other hand grabbed the Lizard Hunter's arm like lightning. Only then did Roy see Sabrina's figure appear in front of the Lizard Hunter.

A standard 'over-the-shoulder throw' directly placed the lizardman hunter on the wooden board of the dock.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Sabrina. Sabrina let go of her hand, stood up straight, and said condescendingly to the Lizard Hunter:

"You're blocking us. Next time I'll throw you directly into the sea!"

The yellow and green color of the lizard hunter's neck and chest became particularly bright at this moment, and his fierce eyes fell on Sabrina's face.

One hand went to the dagger at his waist, and his body bounced straight up from the floor, clawing at Sabrina's throat with his sharp nails.

Sabrina slightly leaned to the side, and her leg hit the lizard hunter's ribs with an afterimage. The strong lizard hunter fell into the sea like a cannonball.

"Plop!"

The Lizardman Headhunter was struggling frantically in the sea, with a terrified expression on his face, as if there was something terrible in the sea.

But no matter how he slapped the sea with his arms, his body still sank uncontrollably into the sea.

The other islanders on the dock were so scared that they hid back.

At this time, some gray dwarf bandits in the crowd came forward, and they had obviously recognized the identity of the gray dwarf captain.

Soon, more gray dwarves came from all directions of the island. They ran very fast with their short legs. These gray dwarves had short hand axes on their belts and kept shouting:

"You elf bastards, now that you're on Lupstead Island, where else do you want to run to? This is the largest gathering place for the Gray Dwarves of the Lost Sea. Once you come here, you'll fall into our hands."

But when they ran to the dock, they saw four three-masted sailing ships docked there, and each ship was full of half-elves.

These gray dwarves who had been moving forward suddenly stopped.

The dock was in a mess, but on this crowded dock, a strong penguin kept pushing everyone, squeezed out of the crowd, and shouted to Roy:

"Hurry up and pay the berth fee. You bastards, stop crowding here. Get out of the way..."

Roy took out a handful of magic crystals from his arms and stuffed them into the arms of the sturdy penguin.

The penguin held the magic crystal with its black wings, widened its eyes, and screamed:

"Okay, you can stop your boats here and keep an eye on them. If you don't want to provoke the gray dwarves, you can pay me a protection fee, and then I will deal with them for you."

While the penguin beast was speaking, his eyes kept glancing at the gray dwarf bandit.

Roy took a step forward, reached out and touched the Penguin Owl Beast's belly, then looked up and said to it:

"No need, we can handle this ourselves."

There was a heavy fog over the dock, and the fog over the sea was rolling continuously.

On the dock, you can only see things within ten meters.

The figures around were blurry, with only a group of gray dwarf bandits crowded in the front.

These gray dwarf bandits ignored Roy and stared at the fully armed half-elf guards...

The penguin blinked its black bean-like eyes, and when it saw that Roy refused to pay the protection fee, it said to Roy:

"Good luck to you then!"

After saying this, he left without looking back.

…

Only then did Roy notice the appearance of these gray dwarf bandits on the island...

Perhaps because they have lived in the dark, damp fog for a long time, these gray dwarf bandits have signs of rust on their bodies. Their exposed skin has even grown sparse scales. Some of the gray dwarves also have purple seaweed growing on their heads, and their bodies exude a fishy and salty smell.

The gray dwarf bandits, holding hatchets, approached the three-masted sailing ship step by step.

Captain Rodhart, standing on the deck, held the side of the ship with both hands and taunted the group of gray dwarves on the dock:

"How did you gray dwarves become like this? Did you eat too much seafood? Why are scales growing all over your body?"

When the gray dwarves heard Captain Rodhart's ridicule, they immediately rushed towards the half-elf guards in anger.

This group of half-elf guards was the most brave and combative squadron under Roy. They all raised their iris shields and charged towards the gray dwarf bandits in unison...

For a moment, the gray dwarf bandits in the front were all bounced away by their iris shields. When the gray dwarf bandits behind wanted to rush up again, the elven swords of the half-elf guards were already pressing on their necks.

The gray dwarf bandits, who were held up by the elves' long swords, immediately half-knelt on the dock.

The gray dwarf bandits at the back wanted to rush forward, but a row of sharp spears suddenly appeared from behind the half-elf guard warriors holding shields, and these gray dwarf bandits who were not wearing heavy armor were forced back in an instant.

Walker, who was mixed in with the half-elf guards, shouted at the gray dwarf bandits:

"Since we dared to come here, we never thought of running away!"

Some gray dwarf bandits were already lying on the dock, covered in blood.

The gray dwarf bandits rushed forward again, and the half-blood elves arranged their iris shields into a shield wall. The gray dwarf bandits rammed their bodies into it, but could not break through the defense of the half-blood elf guards.

The half-elf guards thrust their spears out one after another, and immediately some of the gray dwarf bandits were stabbed with bloody holes.

Wailing and roaring could be heard continuously.

Although these gray dwarf bandits were strong and powerful, they were still no match for the half-blood elf guards who had been blessed with a full set of divine spells...

Seeing that the gray dwarf bandit was at a disadvantage, the penguin owl beast ran out again, licking its belly.

"Stop, stop now, private fighting is prohibited in the dock area!"

The voice of the penguin beast was sharp and loud, and its body covered with brown feathers forced its way in, separating the gray dwarf bandits and the half-elf guards by itself.

Several half-elf guards were unexpectedly harmed by the short wings of the penguin beast.

Roy raised one hand, and all the half-elf guards immediately stepped back and withdrew from the battle.

"We heard that this is a gathering place for slave traders protected by sirens. This group of gray dwarf bandits attacked us on the dock for no reason. Do you want to give us an explanation from the dock management office?"

Roy said to the penguin moonbeast.

The Penguin Owl Beast's fierce gaze shifted away from Roy's face and looked at the gray dwarf bandits who had temporarily had a chance to catch their breath.

The islanders crowded on the dock have already realized that this group of gray dwarf bandits are no match for the half-elf warriors.

The Penguin Owl Beast also asked the Gray Dwarf Bandit helplessly:

"Why are you making trouble here?"

A gray dwarf bandit with a bleeding hole in his shoulder from a spear gasped and said:

"This group of half-blood elves robbed our ship and took our Captain Brayle back as a slave. We just want to get our ship back and ask them to release Captain Brayle and other compatriots."

The surrounding islanders were immediately in an uproar, thinking: These half-elves are really cruel. They robbed other people's boats, captured people, and even dared to drive the boat back. No wonder these gray dwarf robbers wanted to fight with these half-elves without saying a word.

"Why? You gray dwarf bandits can plunder elven slaves everywhere in the sea of ​​the Elf Continent, but we half-blood elves can't come here to trade with gray dwarf slaves?"

Roy asked the gray dwarf bandit in front of him.

A large group of gray dwarf bandits suddenly rushed over again, but they did not dare to move too forward when facing shields and spears.

The penguin beast was also speechless after Roy's question.

Because there had never been any elf slave traders on Plesterton Island, and what Roy said made sense, and he had just paid the berth fee...

In order to prevent the gray dwarves from suffering any more losses, the penguin beast said loudly:

"If you want to fight, you can go to the Arena. All residents of this island are protected by the Sirens, and all transactions here are legal."

"If any of you disrespect the laws here, I will kick you out."

The Penguin Owl Beast obviously knew that the words he had just said lacked deterrence, but they just happened to give this group of gray dwarf bandits some way out.

The gray dwarf bandits had gradually calmed down from their rage, and several of them were lying dying on the wooden boards on the dock.

The half-blood elf and the gray dwarf bandit were still glaring at each other...

The Penguin Owl shook its feathers and continued:

"If you want to save your people on the island, you can do so through trade, or you can simply exchange slaves with each other."

The arrival of a half-elf on the island attracted a large number of islanders to the dock to watch. At this moment, the dock was already packed with people.

A gray dwarf bandit stepped out from the crowd and said loudly:

"All the half-blood elf slaves I have here...you can choose whatever you like."

"Sorry! We're not planning on selling this guy just yet."

Roy stood in the middle of the crowd and said without hesitation:

“…Or you can understand this as – the price you offered is not high enough.”

The gray dwarf bandit asked anxiously and angrily:

"So how do you want to change it?"

Roy stared into his eyes and said, "I demand that you hand over all the half-blood elf slaves on the island to me."

The gray dwarf bandit was furious.

"You are dreaming. This is impossible. Not all the half-blood elf slaves on the island belong to me. I will give you all the power I have. Besides, you only have a few gray dwarves. Why should you exchange them for all the half-blood elf slaves?"

Roy waved his hand indifferently:

"Since you don't agree, that's even better. I didn't intend to exchange with you in the first place."

The gray dwarf bandit wanted to charge forward, but when he saw that the three-masted sailboat was full of half-elf archers, he could only yell and curse:

"You half-blood elves, is this how you do business? Don't let me see you outside the Lost Sea, or I will blow you to pieces with the cannons on my ship."

Roy ignored him.

The half-elf guards cleared a passage, and Roy strode towards the town on the island.
