Path of Light.

Chapter 692 693. Fierce battle

Roy climbed to the top of the mountain and stood at the highest point looking around. The surrounding scenery was in full view.

To the south of the mountains, beyond this sheltered fjord, is the boundless sea. To the north of the mountains, there are mountains that extend deep into the sea. These mountains are relatively straight, and they divide the nearby sea into fjords, just like ridges in a field.

Each fjord is very different. The fjord occupied by the fleet is a natural harbor with a narrow entrance and a wide open space inside.

After the storm, the sky became unusually clear.

Everywhere is the fresh smell of trees washed by rain...

Moira stood on a huge rock, covering her brow with one hand, looking at the magic airship as big as a matchbox under the fjord, and exclaimed to Roy:

"Roy, it's so high here..."

She looked very happy, standing on the top of the mountain, enjoying the sea breeze. Her short hair had fallen to her shoulders, and her originally childish face now had a more charming look.

Moira is a mixed-race of Silver Moon Elf and Dark Moon Elf. Her skin is a little gray, but her eyebrows and eyes are slender and elegant like those of a Silver Moon Elf. Her facial features are very delicate, especially the elves' very unique pointed ears. When she blushes, it first shows on her ears.

A pair of big eyes like black grapes blinked, which was very unique among the elves, because the eyes of elves were almost all blue-green, and Moira's black eyes were very special.

Roy walked to Moira's side. She turned her head and looked back at him affectionately with a smile in her eyes. She stretched out her arms naively. Roy held the cute elf girl in his arms, lowered his head and gently pecked her soft lips. The faint sweet scent made Roy feel dazed.

There was infinite tenderness in Moira's eyes. She hooked her arms around Roy's neck tightly, making it impossible for him to look away.

The two of them stared at each other closely on the top of the mountain, even their breath sprayed on each other's faces.

The soft lips touched him again, and Roy's heart was filled with excitement. This was a wonderful experience he had never had before...

Moira blushed quickly and they were very close.

Roy put his arms around Moira's slender waist and could clearly feel her heart beating rapidly. Roy put his mouth to the neck below her earlobe, perhaps tickling her, causing Moira to giggle.

Then she pushed Roy hard, and Roy was a little unsteady. The area on the top of the mountain was very narrow, and Roy was forced to let go of his hands in order to keep his balance.

Moira took the opportunity to break free from Roy's arms like a happy little deer and ran forward along the top of the mountain...

Although Roy was not afraid of heights, he had to prepare himself mentally if he was to run freely on the top of a mountain.

Roy was a little worried about Moira, so he could only chase after her carefully...

At this time, Moira, who had run a few steps, suddenly stopped. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes looking towards the fjord which was only separated from the fleet by a mountain.

The fjord on this side looks winding and tortuous.

Only by looking down from a high altitude can you find that there is a very secret place over there. If you want to reach this fjord by boat, you have to walk for a long time in the long waterway before you can get there.

Roy came closer and stood behind Moira, resting his chin on her round shoulders and putting his arms around her.

Moira's cheeks turned redder, but she didn't look away. She stared at the fjord below without blinking.

"Roy, what do you think that is?"

Moira pointed at the sea of ​​the fjord below and asked Roy in a low voice.

"What……"

Roy didn't care much. He smiled and looked towards the fjord next door.

Some fuzzy black lines appeared in the narrow waterway. Since the sea surface of the fjord was far away from the top of the mountain, Roy could not see clearly what creatures they were. He thought they were a group of whales trapped in the fjord, so he asked Moira:

"Are those... whales?"

Moira shook her head, frowned and continued to observe the movements below.

Roy also noticed something was wrong, because these dark creatures were trying to land, and the first few creatures had already revealed their dark backs. Roy's face changed slightly, because he could already see what those creatures were.

"It's the Dark Faceless Man..." Roy said in surprise.

He turned to look at Moira, and Moira gave Roy an affirmative look.

At this time, Roy discovered that there were other creatures on the beach. Although they were too far away to see clearly, those dark faceless creatures seemed to be approaching the shore under tremendous pressure.

The dark faceless men walking in the front had half of their bodies exposed above the sea, and their tentacles began to dance constantly.

Roy didn't expect that there would be so many dark faceless people in the fjord. These dark faceless people were more dangerous than the natives of the Partington plane. He remembered the Grimm Empire plane war described to him by the Empire merchant Darwin. It was mainly the dark army of the Abyss Hell forces invading the Grimm Empire plane on a large scale...

He didn't think much about it at this time. He turned around, took out a magic flare from his waist bag, and released it in the direction of the fleet.

Although it was daytime, the yellow flame of the magic flare still drew a beautiful arc in the sky and finally exploded above the magic airship fleet.

This is the distress signal that Roy has set. Once the orange flare is launched, it means that a major event has occurred.

The half-elf cavalrymen who were feeding the griffins on the beach were the first to notice the magic flares above their heads, and they all looked up to observe.

On the deck of the magic airship, a white griffin quickly flew up from the deck, followed by a squadron of griffin cavalry.

At the same time, the half-elf guard warrior on the magic airship also sounded the alarm immediately.

Griffin riders kept flying into the sky. The griffin riders on the beach stopped feeding the griffins one after another. They comforted the griffins while straddling the saddles on their backs. Then the griffins flapped their wings violently. Hundreds of griffins took off at the same time. The scene was quite spectacular.

There was the sound of flapping wings everywhere, and the griffins were constantly crying.

A huge feather fell from the sky...

The crew members on the magic airship could only look up nervously, and no one knew what was going on.

……

The young mermaid, who had just escaped from the bushes halfway up the mountain, saw a large group of griffin cavalrymen taking off from the deck of the fleet and flying over her head. She was so scared that her face turned pale.

The first thing that came to her mind was that the half-elf army had discovered their camp...

If such a secret camp was discovered by the elf army, what should she do? Should she run back and try her best to rescue her compatriots in the secret camp, or hide secretly to save her life...

The next second, she made a bold decision.

She ran towards the top of the mountain with all her might, trying to stop the fight. She knew it was too late, but she still tried her best to climb up the steep and grassy mountain wall...

Nearly a thousand griffin cavalrymen took off at the same time from nine three-person sailing ships. The air currents in the entire fjord changed dramatically, and the sound of the flapping wings made her legs weak...

Seeing so many griffins rushing up, the young mermaid felt cold all over. She kept making sharp screams and rushed to the top of the mountain holding her breath.

But the griffin riders just passed over her head and ignored her at all.

She grabbed the weeds with both hands and climbed up with all her might until she reached the top of the mountain. Only then did she find that the group of griffins had already passed by the secret camp below the fjord. Countless griffins blocked her vision, and she could not see the situation below the fjord at all.

At this moment, her body seemed to be drained of all strength, her legs went limp and she fell to the top of the mountain.

……

Sabrina led a group of griffin riders and rushed over Roy and Moira's heads, moving in the direction of Roy's finger.

Kaka and little Eugene arrived just in time...

Both of them trained their griffins very well, and Roy often rode on Kaka's griffin.

This time, Roy also jumped onto the griffin's back skillfully...

Moira sat behind little Eugene, and the two griffins followed one after the other in the group of griffins.

The griffin cavalry led by Sabrina rushed to the front of the team. Sabrina had already seen the dark faceless men walking towards the shore step by step.

They walked out of the sea with huge steps, with seawater flowing all over their bodies...

At this time, these dark faceless creatures also raised their heads, separated the tentacles on their heads, revealing a pair of small eyes.

It's just that the sunlight above their heads is a little dazzling. The light shines on them, causing small faint pustules to appear on their originally tough skin. Once they leave the sea water and stand in the sun, their skin begins to rot, and the process is very rapid.

The Dark Faceless Man wanted to quickly cross the beach and rush into the shady cave ahead.

But above their heads, a huge danger was looming.

At Sabrina's signal, sixty griffin riders formed a diving formation, then folded their wings, and one by one the griffins fell onto the beach of the fjord like cannonballs.

At this moment, the magic patterns on these griffins continued to light up, and the griffins' bodies began to take on a metallic color.

'Iron Will'

The magic arrays that the griffins possessed...

Then, sixty griffin riders hit the beach like cannonballs. The huge impact force caused the griffin riders to blast sand pits on the beach.

The dark faceless men who had just landed on the shore were blown up in the sand pits by the swooping griffin cavalry.

Some griffins even pounced directly on the Dark Faceless Man, opened their sharp beaks like iron hooks, and pierced through the Dark Faceless Man's tough skin and into its soft, boneless brain.

With two powerful swings of their sharp iron beaks, the griffins easily took out the black magic core from their heads.

The dark faceless man was twitching all over, and he was struggling in his death throes just now. Now, the bodies of those dark faceless men looked like deflated balloons, shrinking rapidly. As some black water flowed out of their bodies, in the end, these dead dark faceless men were left with only a piece of festering black leather.

In an instant, sixty griffin riders appeared on the beach. With their first dive, they smashed the Dark Faceless Men who were about to land into pieces.

There are still many Dark Faceless Ones hiding in the sea of ​​the fjord...

However, these dark faceless beings were so frightened when they saw the massacre on the beach that they dared not show their heads in the sea. They have absolute dominance in the sea.

Kaka took Roy to fly over the sea. It was obvious that there were many Dark Faceless Men in the fjord. After being killed by the Griffin Riders, they lost the courage to fight and dared not show their heads no matter what.

……

The sirens hiding in the caves on the mountain walls were also a little confused at this time. When they saw the Dark Faceless Men landing, they had already made plans for the worst. They were even prepared to fight back in the caves, and then a few quick-witted sirens would take the children and sneak away.

But when these Dark Faceless Men landed, a vast number of Elf Knights appeared in the sky. These Elf Knights swooped down on griffins and smashed dozens of Dark Faceless Men to pieces.

However, these griffin riders seemed to be unable to see them and were quietly repairing on the beach of the fjord...

The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour before the Griffin Riders successfully repelled the Dark Faceless Men.

When we arrived at the beach here, the bodies of the Dark Faceless Men had already rotted beyond recognition.

Roy looked at his surroundings and strode into the shallow water. He vaguely saw some dark faceless figures swimming in the sea. Judging from the direction they were swimming, they seemed to be approaching the exit of the fjord.

Roy quickly sat on Kaka's griffin and flew a circle along the fjord.

Although this fjord is hidden, a big disadvantage is also exposed, that is, the road along the fjord is somewhat winding, the water level is very shallow in several places, and this fjord is a dead end with only one entrance and exit.

Roy came to the only exit of the fjord and arranged a team of griffin cavalry to block it.

The Dark Faceless Men who tried to escape back to the sea from the exit of the fjord were all intercepted at once. The Dark Faceless Men did not dare to come out of the sea and could only hide in the deep water.

Roy found that the Griffin Riders had no way to deal with the Dark Faceless Men in the sea. After thinking it over again, he said angrily: "Kaka, go notify the nine captains of the fleet and ask them to fly over as soon as possible..."

"Okay, boss!"

Kaka responded quickly and rode a griffin over the mountains to deliver the letter.

……

Not long after, with the help of levitation devices, the nine magic airships quickly jumped over the mountains and hovered above the fjord.

The water in the fjord is very clean. Through the surface of the sea, you can actually see the dark faceless beings hiding on the bottom of the sea...

Kaka sent Roy back to the magic airship. Roy stood at the bow, and a group of crew members removed the tarpaulin from the whaling crossbow, revealing the giant crossbow inside.

At Roy's instruction, the ship's heavy whaling crossbow was aimed at the surface of the fjord. As a black shadow appeared below the sea, the elf guard in charge of operating the heavy whaling crossbow pulled the trigger, and a crossbow arrow more than three meters long shot into the sea at an almost vertical angle.

Then a huge splash appeared in the sea...
