Path of Light.

Chapter 698: The Knights Templar Join
The sea monster Jie Zena looked at Tiffany's receding figure with a confused look on her face, and suddenly got up from the shell bed, glanced at the two fish-men monsters beside her, and swam towards the western sea without hesitation...

In fact, if she could live quietly in a certain sea area for a few years and adjust her body to its peak condition, Jie Zena would try to break through the shackles of the second level and be promoted to a second level strongman.

But she was in no mood to live in seclusion now. According to what Tiffany said, something serious had obviously happened in the Western Sea, so Jie Zena couldn't wait to sneak back to the Western Sea to take a look...

……

When Commander Latimore was defeated in the battle for the Western Seas, he left the Western Seas with a group of followers and hid on the Sun Island in a bay south of the Griffin Barrier Mountains. He relied on the cold springs on the island and the power shared by the deep-sea beasts to suppress the toxins in his body...

Zezena is a follower of Lattimore.

The rift between her and Commander Lattimore had gradually developed over the course of her long stay in Sun Island Bay.

The irreconcilable problem between them was that after Jie Zena had reached the peak strength of the first level, she gradually showed signs of being promoted to a second level strongman.

This gave Commander Lattimore a strong sense of crisis.

He was worried that Jiezena would be promoted to a sea beast priestess and would immediately replace himself, so he tried every means to suppress Jiezena.

Commander Lattimore not only failed to tell Jiezena what situations she should pay attention to when advancing to the second-level strongman, but also continued to create trouble for Jiezena.

Now that Commander Latimore is dead, the last factor preventing Jie Zena from becoming a rank 2 warrior has also disappeared. She has begun to prepare for becoming a rank 2 warrior...

Just at this time, a big chaos broke out in the western waters.

The Dark Faceless Army appeared in the western waters, which was a big event for the Sirens.

If every siren stays out of it, the western sea area will inevitably be devoured bit by bit by the Dark Faceless Men, so Jie Zena can't wait to check the situation there.

She twisted her long snake tail and swam at high speed on the seabed like a sea eel...

……

Tiffany climbed onto the boat, all wet. Her long legs were wrapped in a mermaid-patterned skirt, revealing a clear outline.

She lifted her skirt and walked barefoot across the deck quickly to the stern tower, pushed open the heavy wooden door and ran in.

Roy, who was standing at the door of the captain's room, quickly opened the door, leaned out, and shouted to the mermaid who ran into the corridor: "Tiffany, have you told Jie Zena about the Faceless Legion's invasion of the western waters?"

"Ok!"

Miss Tiffany's voice came from the deck, and some sea water and a clear line of wet footprints were left on the deck.

Tiffany walked back to the room, stood next to the closet, untied the straps and buckles, took off her wet mermaid-patterned dress, hung it on the wooden hanger beside her, and soaked herself in the bathtub.

Roy's voice came into the room along the corridor:
"What did Zeina say?"

"She went to the western waters to investigate the situation."

Miss Tiffany got out of the bathtub, clean water flowing down her soft long hair. She picked up a bath towel from the shelf next to the bathtub, stood up from the bathtub, wrapped the towel around the important parts of her body, and walked out of the bathtub barefoot.

She wrapped her body tightly with a bath towel, then picked up the towel to wipe her wet hair...

Then he poked his head into the corridor and saw Roy standing at the end of it.

"What are you going to do about this?" Miss Tiffany asked Roy curiously.

Roy stopped and thought for a moment before saying seriously, "I plan to report the situation here to the military to see if I can get support from above. I also plan to help the Siren Corps privately. I'm worried that the Siren Corps can't stop the attack of the Dark Corps."

Tiffany leaned out of the room, revealing her round shoulders and delicate collarbones, and said to Roy:

"Aren't you afraid that after the Sirens have weapons and armor made by the elves, they will become a powerful army that even half-blood elves cannot resist?"

"No matter how powerful you are, it is limited to the sea."

Roy responded, and immediately left Miss Tiffany speechless...

……

The fleet returned to the dock of Sun Island Bay, and Roy officially handed over the defense of Sun Island Bay to Captain Tiprado.

Captain Tiprado needs to build defensive fortifications on the peninsula connecting the Sun Island Bay to the open sea in the near future, mainly arrow towers that can house whaling crossbows.

In addition, some arrow tower-like defensive fortifications should be built around the Sun Island Pier. Once the Faceless Army enters the Sun Island Bay, the half-blood elves in the seaside town should be given at least an hour to evacuate.

Roy then came to the camp built by the Knights Templar. In nearly a month, the human priests of the Knights Templar had built some exquisite wooden houses in the woods. They did not have the habit of building wooden houses on trees, but these seaside tree houses were almost all stilt houses with a lot of dried palm leaves on the roof. These houses looked very warm.

These human priests learned some fishing skills from the half-elf fishermen, and they also dried a lot of fish in the sun.

When Roy arrived at the Knights Templar camp, many human priests were praying under the shade of the trees...

It can be seen that they have recovered well during this period.

When Captain Jeroin saw Roy coming over, he warmly invited him into the room. He smiled and said to Roy:

"Captain Roy, I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come here. The camp here is almost built, and I want to go to Padstow to buy some daily necessities."

"Whatever the Knights Templar need... they can send people to Plateau City and Padstow to purchase. However... they need to confirm the departure time of the magic airship. This needs to be confirmed by the captains of the magic airships at the dock. Of course, if I'm in Sun Island Bay, you can always come to me."

"I will soon take the magic airship back to Padstow. This time you can ask the person in charge of purchasing supplies to go to Padstow with me."

"Captain Jeroin, I'm here to bring you some very bad news."

"Oh? What happened?" Captain Jeroy immediately became serious.

"This time I led the fleet to sail westward along the coastline, all the way to the western waters, where we encountered a naval battle."

Roy paused for a moment before continuing, "It was a war between the Siren Legion and the Dark Faceless Legion. A Siren Legion was driven to the coastline of the western sea area by the Faceless Legion..."

"You mean to say that the Dark Army also appeared in the Partington plane?"

Captain Jeroin frowned...

"Yes, it seems that in this plane war, it is not just the plane lords of the Green Empire who are invaded by the forces of the Abyss. At present, it seems... there is also the Partington plane of the elf world." Roy said. "If this place is attacked by the Faceless Legion, you may have to retreat to the south of the Pagisto Plateau."

"Captain Roy, the Knights Templar have applied to join the war this time!"

Captain Geroi said without any hesitation.

"The current situation is not that bad. Right now, the Dark Faceless Legion is fighting with the Siren Legion for the waters of the Partington plane. Next, I plan to provide some necessary support to the Siren Legion..."

Roy began to explain his plan to Captain Jeroin.

Captain Jeroin also mentioned one thing to Roy, that is, the priests can participate in the war, and can be incorporated into the half-elf mine guard group to assist the elf warriors in combat and provide them with blessing magic and holy light magic.

Roy chatted with Captain Jeroin for the entire afternoon. When he left the Knights Templar, Roy was still dizzy. This was mainly because many of Captain Jeroin's ideas were things Roy had never thought of before, such as equipping the mine guard with a team of priests.

He had never thought about this before because of the limited conditions...

The Silver Moon Elf Army itself was very hostile to the priests of the Statue of Liberty. They had the help of the priests of the Moon Temple, so how could they possibly have any connection with the priests...

But the army of half-elves is different!

The priests of the Moon Temple would not care about the life and death of the half-elf army. The Statue of Liberty and the priests of the Elf Continent had all disappeared. Roy naturally did not think of equipping the mine guards with priests.

But now the Knights Templar have moved to the Sun Island Bay, and Captain Jeroin has volunteered to join the war. So, it seems possible to recruit some human priests into the mine guard corps!
In addition, Roy remembered that some half-elf guards in the mine guard regiment seemed to have mastered some elementary divine arts.

He never paid much attention to it.

It now seems that as long as these half-elf warriors are promoted to priests, the combat effectiveness of the mine guard will definitely increase significantly.

……

Roy arrived at the Plateau City on a magic airship. He only told Mulin that the Dark Faceless Army had been discovered in the western waters and asked her to make some preparations in advance.

For example, to deal with these Dark Faceless Warriors, you need a whale-hunting heavy crossbow, and you also need some giant crossbow arrows. If there is no magic effect involved, then the forging workshop on the Jiaxi Mountains can make these giant crossbow arrows.

In addition, a new batch of plateau headhunter prisoners of war have arrived at the plateau city. This time, Captain Helike sent another 5,000 plateau headhunter prisoners of war.

This brings the number of headhunter prisoners of war in the Plateau City concentration camp to more than 20,000...

Fortunately, more than a month ago, Roy asked Mulin to arrange for these highland headhunters to build a new prisoner-of-war concentration camp on the other side of the Tolai River. In just one month, although the buildings in the concentration camp were not all completed, at least the walls and arrow towers had been built.

These newly arrived headhunter prisoners have not participated in labor reform and are still full of wildness.

According to Mulin's idea, they should suppress them with tough measures and make them get used to the life of prisoners of war. However, Roy did not agree with this.

He told Mulin to let the new prisoners wear shackles and chains and watch the old headhunters do hard labor on the construction site. Those prisoners who did not work would only have one simple meal a day, just enough to avoid starving to death.

They will never force anyone to work if they don't want to.

Those who are willing to work will be assigned to the labor camp, where they will enjoy all the benefits of the headhunter prisoners...

In addition, Mulin reported to Roy that the mine run by the Silver Moon Elves in the Caldeum Mountains was about to stop working again. The reason was that even though the Silver Moon Elves warriors were supervisors in the mine, they still felt that life in the mine was very boring. Life in the mine had caused a great psychological trauma to the Silver Moon Elves warriors...

Many Silvermoon Elf warriors applied to return to the Elf Continent for vacation, and even several captains of the Silvermoon Elf Guard planned to do so.

However, because Roy was not in the Plateau City, without Roy's personal signature, these captains had no way to allow a large number of Silver Moon Elf warriors to return to Padstow.

Unless they have a transfer order from the Berkeley governor, which they obviously don't have at the moment...

"Leave them alone for now and let them continue to stay in the Caldeum Mountains."

Roy didn't want to pay attention to the Silver Moon Elves' leaders at this time.

He walked out of the city hall and stood on the high platform outside the city hall looking down. Half-blood elves could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of the entire Plateau City. The free market in the city was extremely lively. A new living area had been built on the original site of the Plateau Headhunter Prisoner of War Concentration Camp.

The Plateau City was well managed by Mu Lin. Roy turned around and asked Mu Lin behind him:
"What is the current population of half-elves in Plateau City?"

"Almost 200,000. A large number of half-elves pour into the Plateau City every day!" Mulin replied.

"Well, this number of people is needed to support the normal operation of a city. I'll leave the Plateau City to you. I'm going back to the Elf Continent this time and may have to stay there for a while." Roy said to Mulin.

"Got it, boss. I will take good care of Plateau City!" Mu Lin responded confidently.

……

Moira, Miss Tiffany, Woods, Claire and others got off the magic airship and stayed at the riverside pier of Plateau City for a while. Although there was a pier here, there was no corresponding shipping, and there were no ships near the pier.

However, a new prisoner-of-war camp is being built on the other side of the pier. The high walls and arrow towers make this prisoner-of-war camp look heavily guarded...

Everyone sat by the river and whispered about how Roy had created a new town on the Pagista Plateau in just a few years. Unknowingly, this good friend had gone so far.

This time, Leah and Alice did not follow Roy to the Plateau City. They both stayed in the Sun Island Bay. It was said that it was Alice's idea, and the reason was very simple: Leah, who had a dark physique, could detect the invasion of the Dark Faceless Men in time.

To this end, the two sisters took the initiative to request to live on the pier of Sun Island Bay.

"Moira, Tiffany, Woods, Claire, the magic airship is about to set sail, let's get on board..."

Roy hurried to the dock and said to several friends who were waiting there.

"I didn't treat you all properly this time when you came to the Partington Island plane. There's nothing I can do because I have military duties to attend to. I'll have to wait until next time!" Roy said apologetically, putting his arms around Woods and Claire's shoulders.

"I don't care. Anyway, I've already got what I wanted. Roy, don't worry about things in Castletown City. I will manage the trading company well." Claire said proudly.

Woods stared at Roy with some confusion and asked him, "Roy, I say... Did you call me here this time... just to teach those human priests how to cultivate the Flower of Light?"

"How could that be! Haha..."
