Path of Light.

Chapter 556 557. City-wide Arrest
Roy found a hotel near Woods Warehouse and settled down there. Nowadays, hotels can be found everywhere in Padstow.

These hotels are tree houses with more than a dozen individual rooms built on a big tree. There are only showers in the rooms, and no hot water is provided.

I just took a nap in the hotel.
Waking up in the morning, Roy listened to the birds singing outside the window. He sat up from the bed and pushed open the window. A series of "puff puff" sounds came from the leaves, and several large gray birds flew out.

Roy washed his face casually, put on his thick-skinned magic pattern suit, received a piece of breadfruit from the small restaurant next to the hotel front desk, and left the hotel casually.

He took a carriage to the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters, where dozens of half-elf warriors were already waiting at the entrance.

When these half-elf warriors saw Roy, they immediately gathered around him.

Roy actually discovered that there were more than a hundred half-elf warriors who came to Padstow by boat, but only about thirty of them had the courage to stand at the entrance of the Silver Pegasus military department.

Roy stood on the steps and said to everyone with a smile: "Are you all ready? If you are ready, let's go in and talk to Kempfred!"

"Boss Roy, we are all ready!"

The speaker was the middle-aged half-elf named Alonso, who was very prestigious among this group of half-elfs.

Roy led everyone into the lobby of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters in Padstow City, and saw that the Silver Moon Elf receptionist standing at the front desk had a very stiff smile on her face. She even winked at him secretly, as if hinting at something but not daring to do it too obviously.

The lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters was empty, and Roy had a bad feeling...

In fact, he noticed that the atmosphere around him was a little strange when he arrived at the door of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters. It was impossible that there was not even a shadow of a person at the door of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters at this time, and there was not even an elf guarding in front of the steps.

But since he was already here, Roy walked in calmly. Just as he walked to the front desk, a group of half-elf warriors followed him into the hall.

Everyone was looking around curiously when a large group of Silver Moon Elf warriors emerged from the stairs and behind the fence of the second-floor terrace. These Silver Moon Elf warriors held elven longbows in their hands and aimed at the half-blood elf warriors in the hall.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the half-elf warrior near the hall door immediately wanted to escape through the door.

At this moment, a group of Silver Moon Elves rushed in from outside the door and completely blocked the door.

Several Silver Moon Elf officers stood on the second-floor terrace, their long golden hair meticulously combed, wearing sophisticated military uniforms, with smug smiles on their faces, staring at the hall on the first floor of the military headquarters.

Roy discovered that Captain Craven and Captain Brad were also standing among several Silver Moon Elf officers. They looked sinisterly at the half-elf warriors in the hall.

One of the Silver Moon Officer Elf raised his pointed chin and said arrogantly to the group of half-blood elf warriors in the hall:
"Since you have deserted your unit without the consent of your superiors, you have violated the management regulations of the Silver Pegasus Legion. Therefore, I now officially announce to you that you will be sent to a military court and will be imprisoned before you receive your sentence."

These half-elf warriors were dumbfounded, and they all looked at Roy with confusion.

At this time, Roy could only stand in front...

He raised his head and looked at the several Silver Moon Elf officers on the second-floor terrace, and asked the Silver Moon Elf receptionist at the front desk:
"Is General Kempfred here? I want to see him."

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist bit her lip, her expression somewhat hesitant, but her eyes kept glancing towards the corner of the second floor.

Roy turned around, looked up at the second floor of the hall, and asked loudly to several Silver Moon Elf officers:
"I brought them here this time because I wanted everyone to sit down and talk. After these half-blood elves join the Silver Pegasus Legion, what exactly does the legion need them to do? In the Infantry Guards, are they guards or miners?"

Unfortunately, General Kemp Fred, who was standing in the corner of the second floor, did not come out directly.

A Silver Moon Elf officer stepped out from among the group of officers. He looked down at Roy.

"They have joined the Silver Pegasus Infantry Guards, so they must obey the management system of the Guards and the orders given by the Infantry Regiment Commander. This is the most basic soldier ethics that an Infantry Guard soldier must have. Unfortunately, these half-blood elf warriors in the hall do not have soldier ethics."

"Captain Roy, this matter has nothing to do with your Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Regiment. Please do not interfere in the internal affairs of other infantry guard regiments without authorization."

As he was speaking, a row of shield-wielding Silver Moon Elf warriors came over, stripped the weapons and armor of the half-elf warriors surrounding them, and tied them up with ropes. Some half-elf warriors planned to resist, but were stopped in time by Alonso.

All thirty-one half-elf warriors were captured, and even Roy was surrounded by several Silver Moon Elf warriors.

"What? Are you planning to tie me up too?" Roy asked the Silver Moon Elf officers.

"Captain Roy, there are some things that may require your cooperation in the investigation, so please stay at the military headquarters for the next few days." The Silver Moon Elf officer explained to Roy, and then ordered the Silver Moon Elf warriors: "You guys, take Captain Roy to the lounge on the second floor!"

Several Silver Moon Elf warriors tried to grab Roy's arms, but Roy stepped aside.

The half-elf warriors saw that Roy was also controlled by the Silver Moon Elf warriors. Although he was tied up with ropes, they all wanted to struggle and resist.

While they were struggling, the Silver Moon Elf warriors smashed the tied-up half-elf warriors with the hilts of their swords, instantly smashing the struggling half-elf's heads and causing them to bleed.

Roy didn't say anything, he turned and walked up the stairs.

The Silver Moon Elf officer standing on the terrace immediately raised his arm, signaling the Silver Moon Elf warriors to stop.

Six Silver Moon Elf warriors took Roy to a small windowless room on the second floor of the Silver Pegasus military headquarters.

There was only a single bed in the room, and the door was even covered with a thick layer of iron sheet.

Walking into the hut, Roy keenly discovered that the room exuded an aura of spatial magic. This should be the confinement hut specially opened by the Silver Moon Elves on the Tree of Life.

Through the only small window on the wooden door, Roy could see two Silver Moon Elf guards standing outside...

Roy didn't expect that he would be put under house arrest this time. He sat on the wooden bed angrily.

He hoped that General Kampfred would come forward and resolve the matter.

……

Roy lay on the wooden bed, quietly feeling the Holy Light Tree absorbing the holy light particles in the surrounding space.

The Silver Moon Elf guards standing guard outside the door had already changed shifts four times, but the Chief Kempfred he was waiting for never showed up.

It seemed as if Chief Kampfred was unaware of Roy's imprisonment in the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters. There was no movement in the corridor outside. Roy came to the door of the confinement hut and bumped into a completely transparent magic wall. His body was suddenly bounced back, and his mood completely fell to the bottom...

This was a confinement room with a magic shield, and Roy found that he couldn't get out...

The Silver Moon Elf officers dared to imprison him, so they must have obtained the consent of Chief Kempfred. However, Chief Kempfred refused to show up. Roy knew that this matter was developing in the direction he least wanted to see...

Kempfred wanted to take advantage of the time when he could not intervene to convict these half-elf warriors of a crime, so that when he walked out of the confinement hut, he would not be able to reverse the incident.

It seems that it's not just Lord Alvis. Other Silver Moon Elves also treat half-blood elves with arrogance and disrespect. They look down on half-blood elves from the bottom of their hearts.

The Silver Moon Elf guards would deliver a plate of fruit to the confinement hut every once in a while, but no officer came to visit the prisoner.

……

There were about a hundred escaped half-elf warriors who arrived at Padstow City with Roy on the magic airship.

The reason why they did not go to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters together in the morning was Alonso's idea. Alonso was worried that the Silver Moon Elf Warriors in the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters would confuse right and wrong, and then kill all of them, the half-blood elf warriors. Perhaps this matter would really end with the half-blood elf warriors escaping!
The remaining eighty-odd half-elf warriors did not wait foolishly in their temporary residence. Instead, they divided into several groups and wandered around the city of Padstow, paying close attention to the movements of the Silver Pegasus military.

At noon, a large number of security guards were suddenly dispatched from Padstow to conduct a large search in Padstow...

On almost every avenue and small square in the city, there are security guards questioning the identities of half-elves.

Although the half-blood elves had not received any news yet, they had begun to realize that the atmosphere in Padstow was becoming tense.

And until noon, Boss Roy and his companions did not come out of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters. These half-blood elf warriors realized that something was wrong...

These half-elf warriors did not gather together again.

According to the plan they had made on the magic airship, they divided into several groups and hid in the city.

"Alonso and the others must have been captured by those Silver Moon elves!"

"I'm saying... those Silver Moon elves don't follow any principles at all. They always think that what they do is absolutely correct..."

"Damn Silver Moon Elf!"

"What do we do now?"

"Everyone, please scatter. We can only think of ways on our own at this time. It's best to hide in various corners of the city..."

"In addition, we must let all the half-blood elves in Padstow know what those silver Pegasus warriors did to us!"

A group of half-elf warriors hid in a park, and everyone was discussing what to do next.

"Alonso specifically told me this morning that we must not try to sneak into the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters. The Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters is heavily guarded, and we cannot rescue them with our own strength."

"Then let's first let all the half-blood elves in the city understand how these Silver Moon Elf officers in the Silver Pegasus Legion treat us..."

More than 80 half-elf warriors took off their standard armor and dispersed to the city of Padstow. They were like fish entering the sea, and they could not even find their shadows...

They spread the news about how Brad and Craven, two Silvermoon Elf officers, treated Silvermoon Elf warriors and half-blood elf warriors differently and how they treated half-blood elf warriors harshly.

The half-blood elves in Padstow soon knew the news.

The half-blood elves began to discuss, and the high-ranking officials of the Silver Pegasus Legion began to imitate some of Lord Alvis's practices and began to infinitely exploit the value of the half-blood elves on the Partington plane...

……

In the morning, in the garden square next to the Security Guard camp, Captain Berkeley was standing on a podium and giving a pre-recruitment speech.

It mainly tells the story of how half-blood elves join the security guard group and can obtain various benefits, as well as the duties of the security guards...

There are about two hundred young half-elves who are interested in joining the Security Guard.

Captain Berkeley set the recruitment time in the afternoon, but when the afternoon came, the young half-blood elves in the garden square suddenly gathered together and began to discuss something excitedly.

Originally, the recruitment team had formed a very long line here, but suddenly, those half-elves dispersed in the team.

Even the half-blood elves who were about to sign the application refused to join the security guard group led by Captain Berkeley after their friends whispered to them...

They even looked at Captain Berkeley with fear, fearing that he would arrest them in a rage.

In just a quarter of an hour, all the half-blood elves in the garden square left.

Captain Berkeley frowned and asked the adjutant behind him: "Go check what happened in the city?"

The adjutant had a painful expression on his face. He closed his mouth and stammered, refusing to speak.

Captain Berkeley's eyes gradually turned cold. He stared at the adjutant without blinking and urged, "What do you know? Tell me quickly..."

"The military has sent out a number of Silver Moon elves, who are searching the city for the half-blood elves that arrived at Padstow City on the magic airship this morning. The military has reported that the group of half-blood elf warriors secretly escaped from the silver mines in the Caldeum Mountains, and they all need to be arrested and brought to a military court." The adjutant responded in a low voice.

Captain Berkeley was so angry that his eyes went dark. He angrily swept the documents on the desk to the floor and said angrily:

"What on earth do these guys want to do by running to the Partington plane?"

"The military asked our Security Guard Corps to dispatch troops to assist in capturing those half-elf warriors, but I declined on the grounds that the Security Guard Corps was temporarily short of manpower." The adjutant responded again in a low voice.

"Have you figured out what's going on?" Captain Berkeley asked with narrowed eyes.

"It is said that Captain Brad and Captain Craven went to the Pagisto Plateau to take over the mine. Because they treated the Silver Moon Elves and the Half-Blood Elves differently, the Half-Blood Elves were dissatisfied, so they chose to leave." The adjutant introduced in a low voice.

The adjutant paused, took a breath, and then said:

"I heard that some half-blood elf warriors ran to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters to cause trouble and were captured by the Silver Moon Elf Guards of the military headquarters. There are still some half-blood elf warriors lurking in the city. General Kemp Fred wants to capture all of them..."
