Path of Light.

Chapter 677 678. Roy's influence
When Roy arrived at Partington Island on the magic airship, he happened to see the logistics supply troops of the Silver Pegasus Legion anchored at the dock of Partington Island. These ships were ready to go, and the decks of all the ships were full of supplies. It seemed that they were supposed to be transported to Murayaki Port.

The Silver Moon Elf logistics officer on the medium-sized sailing ship recognized Roy and saluted him from a distance while standing on the deck.

The magic airship was now slowly lowering its altitude, and the propulsion device at the stern was running at full capacity. The entire magic airship was slowly flying towards the small town in the mountainous area of ​​Partington Island.

The crack in the mountain is just big enough for a magic airship to pass through...

The magic airship passed through the cracks in the mountains at a crawling speed. At the narrowest point, when Roy stood on the edge of the ship, he could almost touch the cold wall with a wooden stick...

The hull of the three-masted sailing ship was not very wide, so it passed through the fissure in the mountain relatively smoothly. It hovered above the town of Partington Island for half a day, until the portal turned into one leading from Partington Island to Padstow City. Only then was this magic airship the first to pass through the portal.

When the magic airship flew out of the portal in the central square, cheers were immediately heard from all around the square.

Roy stood on the bow and saw that the central square of the entire city of Padstow was closed. The square was surrounded by a large number of half-elf guards. A large number of half-elfs occupied the streets around the square, and several nearby streets were crowded with half-elfs.

Traffic near the central square was completely paralyzed, and Roy took a magic airship to the airport terminal in Padstow.

The moment Roy stood on the bow, cheers suddenly broke out in the streets around the square. Those cheers immediately turned into a wave, and then the half-blood elves on several streets became excited.

Boss Roy's name was echoing in the area above the central square.

Roy had no choice but to grab a taut cable, then stood directly on the bronze sheep head horn at the front of the magic airship, raised one arm and waved it vigorously at the half-blood elves below.

The half-blood elf crew members on the magic airship were also curiously looking at the half-blood elves gathered around the square...

"Why are there so many half-blood elves in the central square?"

"Didn't you hear them all calling out the boss's name? Of course they all came here because of his reputation..."

"Great, we're finally back to the Partington plane. The air here is so fresh!"

"Partington, we're back!"

"We're back!"

The half-elf crew members on the magic airship also started yelling like crazy towards the ground below.

Roy brought the last magic airship back to the Partington plane, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground...

The magic airship hovered steadily at the airport terminal. Roy found that the eight berths at the airport terminal were full of magic airships. Roy walked to the platform and saw Timothy and Tennyson waiting there.

Roy took the initiative to hug Timothy, and then heard Deputy Headmaster Timothy whisper to Roy:

"Boss, all the soldiers have been arranged to go to the camp outside the city for repairs. Everything is going well at the moment."

“Good job, Timothy!”

Then Roy hugged Tennyson again.

Tennyson is currently the leader of the Assassins. He is known for his cruelty and cold-bloodedness. The Dark Moon Elf warriors are not afraid of Leader Timothy, but they are really afraid of Tennyson...

"Boss, the core members of the Freedom Association have been cleared out, and there will definitely be no future troubles!" Tennyson whispered in Roy's ear.

Roy's hands trembled slightly. He didn't expect to hear such bloody news just after arriving in Padstow...

He knew that when Tennyson spoke of 'cleaning it up', he must have really disposed of it.

Roy glanced at Tennyson and responded:
"This is my fault. I underestimated those guys at the beginning. If I had suppressed them when I first discovered them, I guess they wouldn't have made such a big fuss."

The three of them walked down along the spiral staircase built on the giant tree, and a team of half-elf warriors followed Roy in an orderly manner.

Leah and Alice were also in the team.

The two sisters came to the Partington plane for the first time and were looking curiously at the endless forest in front of them.

……

There was a row of carriages parked outside the airport terminal.

Roy got directly into the carriage and left the airport terminal without stopping.

Roy's carriage arrived at the supply warehouse and drove directly into the warehouse. Raysander is now in charge of the warehouse. After a series of reorganizations, Tennyson found several members of the Freedom Association in the supply warehouse. The entire supply warehouse is now firmly under Roy's control.

The material warehouse is the place that Roy values ​​the most. Whether it is magic herbs or magic metals, almost all materials will be temporarily stored in the material warehouse here before leaving the Partington plane, so this place is considered Roy's money bag.

As the market for magic herbs became increasingly popular, the mines on the Pagisto Plateau resumed production one after another, and both magic herbs and magic metals were very profitable.

The mine guard regiment formed by Roy has now expanded to more than 15,000 half-elf guard warriors.

In addition, Roy also has an air force of two thousand griffin cavalry.

Because of the rapid accumulation of wealth, Roy boldly built a plateau city on the plateau. More than 12,000 plateau headhunters were constructing the plateau city. In addition, Roy also built an alchemy workshop, with more than 2,000 gray dwarves serving in the alchemy workshop...

All materials stockpiled due to excess production capacity will be transported to the material warehouse in Padstow City, and then transported to Castletown City through the portal.

Claire and Woods are the persons in charge in Castletown.

Woods was in charge of the magic herb business, mainly selling it to imperial merchants at the port docks.

Claire handles all kinds of goods except magical herbs. His family has an intricate network of relationships in Castletown City, so it is naturally very convenient for him to handle these supplies.

This also indirectly shows how important the material warehouse in Padstow City is in Roy's heart.

But Rambo, the person Roy trusted the most, was actually persuaded by Bernard Xiazo.

During this year and more, Rambo has provided great help to Bernard Xia Zuo by virtue of the convenient conditions of the material warehouse... This time, he asked Leishande to take charge of the material warehouse in order to completely clean out the cancer in the material warehouse.

Less than a month had passed since Roy left Padstow when he saw Lesander again. The half-elf old man had lost a lot of weight and looked extremely tired. He was still counting the account books of the supply warehouse.

There are so many goods coming in and out every day that checking the accounts becomes extremely troublesome...

Roy walked into the building and saw that the account books stacked on Leishande's desk were taller than his body. He sat down opposite Leishande without saying a word.

Leisander put down the account book in his hand, looked up at Roy, and said dully:
"Now the name of the Partington plane has even spread to the Evernight Forest and Darnassus. Even the Silver Moon elves are saying everywhere that the Partington plane is a city where half-blood elves are completely free. This reputation has directly caused the Partington plane to cause a siphon effect on the Elf Continent. Half-blood elves from all over the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom are willing to sell their property and travel thousands of miles to rush to the Partington plane..."

"Last month, the population of Padstow exceeded 900,000, and it is estimated that it will soon exceed the one million mark. The city has undergone four rounds of large-scale expansion, but the expansion speed still cannot keep up with the influx of half-blood elves."

"The most important thing is that Padstow is too bloated. It can't even be considered a central city, but it already has a population comparable to that of a central city. The city lacks various infrastructure. The most troublesome problem now is that it takes an hour to travel by carriage from the city center to the edge of the city..."

"The Silver Pegasus Corps will be responsible for the development of Padstow City," said Roy. "What we need to do is to attract as many talents as possible from Padstow City and let them shine in the Plateau City."

Roy paused, then continued:
"Also, we need to build a town at the Sun Island Bay Pier. It should be at least as big as the Fortress Town."

"Boss, I sent Rambo back to the alchemy workshop on the Pagisto Plateau to push the mine and transport coal gangue..."

Leisander finally found an opportunity to explain to Roy the treatment of Rambo.

Roy didn't expect that Leishande was so hard-hearted that he actually threw Rambo directly into the mine for transformation.

"It's good to let him calm down, but I'm really short of manpower here. When he figures it out, I'll have him go to the pier at Sun Island Bay and plan to build a port town..."

What made Roy angry was that he had clearly reminded Rambo to stay away from those guys who were advocating freedom.

But Rambo was a stubborn person. Not only did he not listen to Roy's warning, he also got involved with those guys.

This time Roy asked Leisander to give him a beating, hoping that he would wake up as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow, the soldiers of the mine guard group will take the magic airship to the plateau city, but I will stay here for a while. If you have any questions, please come to the tree house hotel to find me..."

After Roy told Leishande a few important things, he hurriedly left the supply warehouse.

Leah and Alice were also brought by Roy. They had lived in a dark place since childhood and were very unfamiliar with the outside world. When they saw a city hidden in the woods, they looked around curiously along the way.

Roy rented two separate tree houses in the tree house hotel in the city center. One tree house was for sisters Leah and Alice to live in. Then he gave Leah a whole bag of Kohl's and asked Leah to take Alice around the city for a few days and it was best for her to mind her own business.

……

Roy took a quick shower in the rented tree house, changed his clothes, left the hotel without taking a rest, and went directly to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters in Padstow City.

Almost all the officers in the lobby on the first floor of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters knew Roy. Occasionally, there were young Silver Moon Elf officers who didn't know Roy, and other colleagues would quietly remind them, "Hey, look at that... That's 'Boss Roy'."

The young Silver Moon Elf officer stared at Roy with his eyes wide open, but he couldn't see anything special about him.

"He really is a half-elf! Why don't I see any characteristics of an elf in him..."

"If you can get in touch with him, you will find that except for not looking like an elf, he is an elf in his bones..."

Roy passed through the lobby on the first floor, and an adjutant immediately came up to him and whispered to him:

"Captain Roy, Chief Berkeley has been waiting for you, please follow me!"

Director Berkeley's office was the same office as Director Kempfred's. The decoration in the room had not changed at all, except that the number of documents on the desk had more than doubled.

Roy was brought in by Chief Berkeley's adjutant and sat opposite the desk.

“Berkeley, are you this busy every day?”

Without even looking up, President Berkeley replied humorously: "Today is better. At least I can still see you when I look up..."

He put the quill pen back into the pen holder, replaced it with a quill pen filled with ink and continued signing.

"The city of Padstow is now four times larger than before. The streets of the entire city need to be replanned, including street trees and shrub walls on the street, as well as magic fountains and fruit shops. Now large residential areas have been built, but the basic supporting facilities have not kept up. The massive amount of garbage generated by the entire city every day has given me a headache for several days..."

Chief Berkeley babbled on and on.

He didn't expect Roy to give him some good advice or help him solve the problem. He just wanted to vent his anger...

As the head of logistics for the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion and the governor of the city of Padstow, there were not many people that Berkeley could confide in so freely.

Roy just happens to be one of them.

"Now that you're back, you can help me share some of the burden." Berkeley smiled and said to Roy.

Roy waved his hand helplessly and said to Berkeley, "Don't count on me. I have a lot of things on my hands. Besides, I am also in trouble. This time I came to you just to draw a line between us."

"Draw a line?" Berkeley was slightly startled, then immediately understood Roy's idea and said helplessly, "You are really cautious."

"We have no choice. We have to pretend to be nice to those Silver Moon Elf nobles who are eyeing the Partington plane..." Roy said as he leaned on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the window. "If those Silver Moon Elf nobles see us getting along harmoniously, they will probably lose sleep again."

"Okay, how do I cooperate with you?" Berkeley raised his head again and looked at Roy: "We've agreed in advance! You go and appease the half-blood elf warriors in the Padstow City Security Guard..."

"No way...but now you haven't dealt with them yet?" Roy said in disbelief.

"Don't you know how much influence you have in the Partington plane?"

Berkeley asked Roy with a smile.
