Chapter 704 705. Military Support
Returning to the city of Padstow in the Partington plane, every time I came to the crowded central square, the scene here was extremely chaotic. Several main streets intersected around the square, and it became extremely crowded...

Think about six years ago, when the half-blood elves' Padstow riot had just ended and the rebels had completely disbanded in the Fortress Town. At that time, most of the wooden houses in Padstow were vacant, there were very few half-blood elves in the city, and the streets were deserted...

Now, the streets are full of magic herb trading shops and half-elf collectors carrying magic herbs on their backs.

For such a prosperous city as Padstow, road congestion has become a major problem in the current urban development.

Fortunately, the elves don't like to build houses in the open space in the forest. Except for shops, most wooden houses are built on the treetops. In fact, the roads in Padstow are well connected...

It’s just that there are fewer roads that can be used by horse-drawn carriages.

The place where I met Berkeley was a tree house teahouse, from which I could see most of the new town of Padstow. As for the old town, it was on the other side of the valley. Although it was a valley, the terrain was quite flat, and there were lush forests of giant trees everywhere.

The only difference is that the old city area expanded around a tree of life, while the new city area is on the hillside opposite the old city area. The urban areas are closely connected, and a small stream at the bottom of the valley is the most obvious dividing line between the two urban areas.

"The transfer documents for military supplies have been sent to me. They were signed by Earl Swinburne himself. These are the only supplies stored in the warehouse in Padstow City. These include the Whaling Crossbow and Magic Crystal Arrows. These all need to be applied for. It will take about three weeks for them to arrive in Padstow City."

Director Berkeley sat across from Roy at the small square table, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and spoke to Roy.

Roy was quickly writing and drawing on a list...

General Berkeley then asked, "Roy, you requested so much military supplies. Are you planning to build fortifications in Sun Island Bay?"

Without even looking up, Roy said, "Building fortifications in Sun Island Bay is only the first step."

Berkeley was so angry when he heard Roy's words that he almost choked to death...

"Well, no wonder they call you Boss Roy, you sound rich and powerful when you speak."

Roy and Berkeley have known each other for more than six years, and now they can make some harmless jokes...

"I will transport the first batch of supplies tomorrow. It would be best if the military supplies you prepare can fill up a magic airship." Roy looked up and said to Director Berkeley, and pushed the detailed list of supplies in front of him.

"So urgent?" asked Director Berkeley.

Roy spread his hands and explained:
"Once the Dark Faceless Legion occupies the western sea area, the southern part of the plane will lose its last barrier. The Griffin Barrier Mountains and the Sun Island Bay will become new battlefields. Currently, the gray dwarf bandits have shown their traces on the outer islands of the Queen Ewenni Islands. Although Earl Swinburne did not say it explicitly, I know that before the gray dwarf bandits in the Queen Ewenni Islands are completely dealt with, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion may not be able to mobilize troops to reinforce the Partington plane."

"The Dark Faceless Officers cannot cross the Griffin Barrier Mountains. I guess once they come from the western sea area, they will definitely land in the Sun Island Bay area, so I plan to build fortifications in the Sun Island Bay area."

After saying this, Roy drew a proposed map of Sun Island Bay on a piece of seaweed paper with a pen. Two horn-like mountains stretched out from the land into the sea, just surrounding the sea area and forming a vast inland bay.

Roy's idea was to build some fortifications on the two-horn-like mountain to resist the Dark Faceless Army. It seemed that this defense project was very large, especially the dozens of sentries similar to arrow towers built on the top of the mountain. Each sentry would be a big project.

Berkeley didn't say anything, but just looked at Roy's scribbled hand-drawn map in silence.

Roy was a little surprised and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Chief Berkeley glanced at Roy and said helplessly, "What else can I say? You built a city on the Pagisto Plateau. It's not strange that you are building fortifications now."

Roy's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Director Berkeley and said excitedly:
"Now that you mention it... it really reminds me. I originally planned to let the half-blood elves in the town of Sun Island Bay build these fortifications, but these fortifications will take a long time to build. In fact... I should transfer the highland headhunter prisoners to Sun Island Bay."

The two chatted until very late, mainly to repeatedly confirm the details of the military supplies to be shipped to Sun Island Bay tomorrow.

There are currently no giant heavy crossbows such as the "Whaling Crossbow" in the military supply warehouse of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. After the naval battle between the elves and the Naga tribe, this type of whaling crossbow was stored in the warehouse. It was not until the large-scale naval battle with the gray dwarf bandits in the Queen Ivni Islands that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion allowed these whaling crossbows to reappear on the battlefield.

Roy also saw this kind of whaling crossbow on a medium-sized sailing ship in the Queen Evigny Islands, so before exploring the western waters, he applied to the military for ten whaling crossbows.

Now it seems that this whale-hunting heavy crossbow is really effective against the dark faceless warriors...

So Roy thought of placing these whaling crossbows in the fortifications of Sun Island Bay.

The biggest loss on the battlefield is arrows. Among the large quantities of military supplies shipped from Padstow City to Sun Island Bay this time, magic arrows accounted for a large proportion, in addition to the standard elf biscuits.

For the elves, elf biscuits are also one of the most indispensable and important supplies on the battlefield.

The next morning, a large amount of military supplies were successfully loaded onto the ship at the airport terminal. This time, a large number of half-elf laborers were hired at the airport terminal.

Everyone transported boxes of heavy supplies to the cabin of the magic airship, and found that the entire ship was loaded with military supplies...

This ship does not accept ordinary passengers on board. Then everyone saw Boss Roy and a group of his men hurriedly boarding the ship. Soon, this magic airship loaded with supplies left the airport terminal and slowly rose into the clouds.

The half-blood elves in the city of Padstow speculated that there might be another war on the Padstow Plateau, so a large amount of military supplies were transported to the Padstow Plateau.

The half-blood elves from the Pagisto Plateau refuted: This statement is completely nonsense. The headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau are all imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp in the Plateau City. If they really have this ability, they will never wait until Boss Roy comes back to take action...

Soon, more accurate news came from the airport terminal in Padstow City. The magic airship carrying a large amount of military supplies was not flying to the Plateau City, but directly to the Sun Island Bay. The elves began to speculate whether there would be another war in the Sun Island Bay?
