Path of Light.

Chapter 557 558. The Demonstrators
Captain Berkeley stood up suddenly and said angrily:
"At this time, Camp Fred didn't come out to solve the problem, but instead went around hunting down half-elf warriors. What on earth is going on in this guy's head?"

The adjutant looked at Captain Berkeley hesitantly.

"Anything else?" Captain Berkeley asked puzzledly.

"Which... I heard that Governor Roy of the Pagisto Plateau was also involved in this matter. He is currently detained in the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters." The adjutant whispered.

"Roy?" Captain Berkeley's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief: "Kampfred... this is a really bad move! Bring my horse over here and follow me to the military headquarters."

Captain Berkeley glanced at the security guards on the square and ordered:

"Pack up this place and return to the barracks to wait. Without my order, all soldiers of the Security Guard Corps are not allowed to leave the barracks."

"Yes, leader!"

Several officers nearby agreed.

The adjutant brought two war horses, and Captain Berkeley took a rein. He turned over and rode on the war horse, stepped on the stirrups with both feet and squeezed hard, and rushed out of the square first...

……

Many half-blood elves in the city are discussing this matter...

Captain Berkeley rode on the busy street, and the half-blood elves on the roadside began to point at them, the Silver Moon elves.

Perhaps because they saw that they were riding war horses, wearing armor and had weapons hanging around their waists, no half-elf took the initiative to step forward to stop Captain Berkeley and his group. Instead, they just looked at Captain Berkeley with a wary look and followed them without saying a word.

Captain Berkeley and his adjutant were walking down a street, and dozens of half-blood elves were following them.

By the time they arrived at the Silver Pegasus military headquarters, they discovered that the incident had become a big deal.

A group of angry half-blood elves stood on the street outside the Silver Pegasus Military Department. It was estimated that there were at least nearly a thousand half-blood elves...

Captain Berkeley couldn't ride a horse through this road, so he could only jump off the horse, holding the reins of the warhorse with one hand, and walk slowly forward.

When the half-blood elves saw Captain Berkeley, they immediately rushed towards him, shouting:

"Release our half-blood elf compatriots!"

"Release our compatriots!"

Captain Berkeley led his horse forward in silence. The half-elves saw that he was wearing silver armor and knew that he was an officer, so they did not dare to stop him.

When they reached the curved steps of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters, the adjutant following behind Captain Berkeley was already sweating profusely from fear. Captain Berkeley handed the reins to the adjutant behind him and walked into the military headquarters hall with a serious face.

……

In an orchard on the outskirts of Padstow, a row of wooden houses were built on the north side of the orchard.

The headquarters of the independent half-elves organization in Padstow is here.

A group of members of the organization who had been giving repeated speeches in various squares, markets, and busy intersections in the city hid in a wooden house in the apple orchard.

The Silver Moon Elf Warriors are arresting people everywhere in Padstow City...

They don't want to get into trouble by giving inflammatory speeches at this time.

The atmosphere in the city was tense, so they hid in the apple orchard and waited until they were out of the spotlight before giving their speeches.

The purpose of establishing this independent organization is to free all half-elves from oppression, enable them to be self-reliant, and enjoy life as they please.

These members of the organization flowed through the city of Padstow like an undercurrent.

The leader of the independent organization is a half-elf named Bernal. At this moment, he is wearing a white robe, sitting by the window, holding a half cup of fruit tea in his hand, squinting his eyes and looking at the lush green sea. The Padstow Forest is really beautiful.

The climate here is pleasant, and there is a tree of life in the center of the main city.

He came here from the city of Amirante in the Elf Continent and found that the soil here was suitable for the survival of half-blood elves...

In addition, the only way to communicate with the outside world is the portal in the central square of Padstow City.

More than 90% of the elves in Padstow are half-elves.

All of the above gave him sufficient reasons to prove that this plane was the best breeding ground for the development of independent organizations.

He gave speeches in the city, instilling the idea of ​​independence and self-reliance in the half-elves. Over time, he gathered a group of followers who shared the same ideals.

The half-blood elves here come from all over the Elf Continent.

They suffered from the hard life in the Elf Continent, otherwise they would not have left their homes and come to the Partington plane to make a living.

President Bernal is a member who is preparing to develop an independent organization among these half-elves.

Outside the house, a half-elf thief wearing tight leather armor walked briskly into the room where President Bernard was. After he approached, he reported:

"President, I have inquired clearly, and it is... more or less like this."

The half-elf thief told President Bernard everything that happened in the Silver Pegasus military headquarters this morning.

President Bernard frowned and thought for a moment before asking:
"Are you sure that Boss Roy from Pagisto Plateau personally took the half-blood elf to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters?"

The half-elf thief said with certainty: "Yes, should we organize some people to rescue them?"

President Bernal showed a mysterious smile on his face:
"Of course we have to go! This is an opportunity for us. We need to make a name for ourselves in Padstow and do something that will please the half-elves. Currently, the one with the highest reputation and the most fame in the Partington plane is Boss Roy. We can use his influence to develop our organization."

"Gather everyone, we need to get moving..."

……

It was already midday when the independent speakers reappeared in Padstow.

They didn't dare to appear at the crossroads and squares, so they ran to the alleys in the woods, the pavilions behind the flower beds, and wherever there were half-blood elves, they would hide there. They began to spread the news that half-blood elves had joined the Silver Pegasus Legion and were treated unequally.

Boss Roy brought them to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters to seek justice, but was instead detained without reason by the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters...

When the half-blood elves in Padstow heard the news, almost all of them were filled with indignation. Instigated by the speakers, they began to gather towards the Silver Pegasus military headquarters, even shouting slogans along the way.

At the beginning, there were only about a thousand half-elves at the gate of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters, which only made the street opposite the military headquarters a little congested.

Captain Brad and Captain Craven have been keeping a close eye on the half-elf people who are demonstrating in front of the military headquarters.

The two captains and a group of Silver Moon Elf warriors stood together, blocking the steps in front of the Silver Pegasus headquarters.

Although this group of half-elves were somewhat emotional, they merely gathered at the gate of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters and did not appear to be engaging in any radical behavior at the moment.

"Why haven't the elf warriors from the Security Guard come to support us yet?" Captain Brad frowned and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.

The Silver Pegasus military headquarters was surrounded by a group of half-elf demonstrators, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

Captain Craven also echoed, "Hasn't Captain Berkeley come over already?"

"The General Manager and Captain Berkeley are actually competitors in some areas, so sometimes, Captain Berkeley will not interfere in matters that the General Manager is responsible for... So this matter..."

The leader of the Silver Moon Elf beside him responded in a low voice.

Captains Craven and Brad looked at each other and said nothing more. Outside the Silver Pegasus military headquarters, the number of half-blood elves demonstrating continued to increase...

By nightfall, several thousand half-elf demonstrators had gathered in front of the Silver Pegasus military headquarters.

At first, these half-elves gathered together spontaneously.

By the evening, more half-elves gathered in groups.

Among them were not only leaders, but also some half-elves pushing fruit carts, distributing fruits to the half-elf demonstrators sitting at the entrance of the Silver Pegasus military department.

The Silver Moon Elf officers in the military department originally thought that after dark, the half-blood elves gathered at the entrance of the Silver Pegasus Military Department would automatically disperse...

I didn't expect these half-elves to sit on the ground, and it seemed that they were going to defend the gate of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters to the death.

During the day, these Silver Moon Elf officers did not take advantage of the chaos to leave the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters. At night, the military headquarters was crowded with half-elf demonstrators, and it was impossible for them to escape.

The night passed like this, and when the next morning dawned, more half-elf demonstrators gathered outside the Silver Pegasus military headquarters.

The number of protesters has exceeded 10,000...

Many half-elves began to hold up protest banners and held up wooden signs covered with elven words.

Many half-elf demonstrators began to shout in unison:

"Release our half-blood elf compatriots!"

……

Chief Kampfred had a gloomy look on his face. He hoped that the Security Guard could suppress the half-elves who were marching and demonstrating.

Captain Berkeley sat opposite Chief Kempfred, eating breakfast with a calm expression.

He was also blocked at the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters and spent the night in the lounge here.

General Kampfred did not agree to Captain Berkeley's request yesterday to release Roy, and Captain Berkeley did not agree to General Kampfred's request to dispatch the Security Guard to disperse these half-elf demonstrators.

Captain Berkeley had a very good reason: the Security Guards were all half-blood elves, and it was already very difficult for the Guards to maintain the security of Padstow. The Guards had no ability to disperse the demonstrators here.

"Maybe Roy has a way..." Captain Berkeley said this after taking the last bite of breadfruit.

Kempfred had dark circles under his eyes and was silently drinking the sap of the tree of life. When he heard what Captain Berkeley said, he snorted coldly.

He drank the sap of life in the cup in one gulp and strode out of the restaurant.

"Have Knight Moria ride on Silver Pegasus and rush back to Queen Ewenni Islands as quickly as possible to ask for help from Silver Pegasus headquarters!"

Chief Kempfred said through gritted teeth.

Not long after, a carefully raised Silver Pegasus was led out from the stable behind the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters by Knight Moria.

He mounted the silver Pegasus and flew quickly towards the portal in the central square.

……

Roy, who was sitting in the detention room, found that the fruit supply was gone...

This time, the Silver Moon Elf guard outside only brought him a glass of water.

A magic barrier was set up at the door of the detention hut. Although water and food could be delivered into the detention hut from outside, Roy, who lived in the detention hut, could not even communicate with the elf guard at the door because the sound could not be transmitted.

The Silver Moon Elf guards locked Roy in a detention hut and did not take away his magic belt.

His magic belt contained a lot of goodies, such as boxes of magic crystals, bottles of life tree juice, and some elf biscuits. Even if Roy was kept in this detention hut, the food he carried was enough for him to live in the hut for a year.

Finding that he could not communicate with the outside world, Roy simply calmed down and looked through the notes that High Priest Reed left for him.

The magic arts that High Priest Reed left for Roy were mainly divided into two categories: blessing magic arts and holy hammer magic arts. In addition, there were purification magic arts for purifying the undead and holy light magic arts for healing injuries.

There are three types of holy hammer magic: Hammer of Judgment, Hammer of Punishment, and Hammer of Sanction. Roy has already mastered them.

There are six types of blessing spells. Roy currently only masters the blessing of strength and the blessing of wisdom. He has never had time to learn the blessing of freedom...

This time he was imprisoned in a detention hut, and it was rare for him to calm down and study.

He began to follow the instructions in the notes of High Priest Reed, and deeply imprinted the divine pattern of the Blessing of Freedom in his mind. Then he chanted the sacred prayer word for word. If it didn't work once, he would do it twice. If he still wasn't familiar with it after two times, he would read the first four volumes again.

This was the first time in more than a year that Roy devoted himself to learning a divine art.

The power of holy light emanating from the sacred tree in the body.

A large amount of holy light power flowed in Roy's body, and finally gathered between Roy's hands, quickly weaving into a divine pattern.

Roy immediately chanted a prayer...

The divine patterns between his hands then appeared under Roy's feet, emitting a strong sacred aura all around.

Roy discovered that after he was promoted to high priest, the power of holy light in his body became extremely abundant.

The divine pattern he casually drew was so divine that it almost overflowed with divine aura.

The divine pattern turned into a red halo with a diameter of less than one meter under Roy's feet.

A pair of wings symbolizing freedom emerged from the aperture, and the wings quickly spread onto Roy's legs.

It was a wonderful feeling...

Roy felt as if he could break free from all restraints.
He began to move towards the magic barrier at the door of the detention hut.

The red light circle instantly formed a translucent light shield that completely covered Roy's body. Then, Roy crashed head-on into the magic barrier...

The magic barrier shattered.

Then, the iron bolt outside the detention room snapped, and Roy opened the wooden door of the detention room, but did not walk out of the detention room...

The two Silver Moon Elf guards heard a muffled sound and turned to look at the wooden door, only to see that three thumb-thick bolts broke with the sound.

They both stared at Roy in amazement...

Roy unhurriedly pulled the only chair from behind him, sat down casually, and said:
"How about you talk to me? I want to know what happened to the group of half-blood elf warriors who came to the military with me. You two should know about this, right?"

"Uh..." A Silvermoon Elf guard hesitated and chose to shut his mouth.

The other Silver Moon Elf Guard had no scruples and replied:
"Captain Roy, the half-blood elf warrior who came with you is temporarily imprisoned in the military's underground prison."

"Didn't General Kempfred send them to a military court?" Roy asked curiously.

"Not yet... yet." The Silver Moon Elf guard replied.

"Oh, so what happened outside?"

Roy didn't ask any more questions...
