Chapter 718: Battle of Queen Island

Eight magic airships lined up in a row in the sky, passing over the fleet of three-masted sailing ships with crushing force.

When the gray dwarf bandits first saw these magic airships, they thought they were reinforcements from other gray dwarf bandits. Some of the gray dwarf bandits standing on the main mast lookout even kept waving flags at the magic airships, signaling them to float over the Queen's Island Pier and suppress the ten ancient war trees on both sides of the port, as well as the silver Pegasus knights flying around in the air.

However, as soon as these magic airships approached the fleet of three-masted sailing ships, giant magic explosive arrows were shot out from the magic airships.

Fifty-six whaling heavy crossbows fired magic crossbow arrows at the same time. These magic flames, with gorgeous tail flames, drew graceful arcs in the sky, and then exploded on the three-masted sailing ships that were almost stuck together.

Because these three-masted sailing ships were going to land at the port terminal of Queen's Island, a large number of them were crowded together in the sea near the port terminal.

From these closely packed three-masted galleys, the gray dwarf bandits leapt to the harbor docks to join the battle.

The explosive arrows landed on the deck and exploded. Countless shattered flames attached to the hull and burned. Although these wooden sailing ships had done some fire-proofing, they could not stop these explosive arrows. One after another, the three-masted sailing ships began to burn. The gray dwarf robbers on the ship wanted to put out the fire, but were injured by the falling magic explosive arrows.

One after another, fiercely burning magic arrows fell on the three-masted sailing ship...

The crew on the magic airship shot out ten rounds of magic explosive arrows in succession, and at least half of the three-masted sailing ships on the sea began to burn. The fire first engulfed the wind on the ship, and then several masts were burned. Embers continued to fall on the deck, and soon, the wooden deck of the three-masted sailing ship was also ignited by the fire.

The three-masted sailing ships at the back kept gathering towards the port dock. The gray dwarf robbers on the ships saw that the three-masted sailing ships in front were completely submerged by explosive arrows and there were fires on the ships. The three-masted sailing ships at the back did not dare to get closer. They quickly turned the rudder and let the three-masted sailing ships quickly escape from the port dock before they plunged into the flames.

The number of three-masted sailing ships capable of escaping the port docks was less than one-third of the entire fleet.

A huge fire ignited on the battlefield, and the heat rushed to the sky. The eight magic airships could no longer hover above the flames, and could only rely on the magic propulsion devices to move forward against the wind...

Roy stood at the bow of the magic airship, looking at the dozens of three-masted sailing ships being engulfed by the fire. He pointed in the direction of the port pier and urged loudly:
"Stop burning these three-masted sailing ships. Let's go stop the group of gray dwarf bandits who are landing on the island. These guys are so bold that they dare to besiege Queen's Island..."

The magic propulsion devices at the tails of the eight magic airships flashed with magical light as they slowly sailed out of the sea of ​​fire.

The magic airship's whale-hunting heavy crossbow no longer shot out magic explosive arrows, but instead shot out magic wind blade arrows. These magic crossbow arrows fell and exploded among the gray dwarf bandits. Countless wind blades flew out one after another under the explosion of the magic crossbow arrows.

These wind blades penetrated through the gaps in the heavy armor, instantly injuring a large number of gray dwarf bandits, and blood flowed out through the gaps in the armor.

The magic crossbow arrows seemed to be free of charge, falling from the sky without regard for cost...

The more than 30 three-masted sailing ships behind them saw the sea of ​​fire at the port dock and did not dare to stay. They drove their three-masted sailing ships away from Queen Island...

Seeing eight magic airships rushing into the battlefield and attacking from the front and back with ten ancient war trees, scaring away one third of the gray dwarf bandits, the Silver Moon Elf archers standing on the crowns of the ancient war trees suddenly cheered like a tsunami.

Eight magic airships approached the Queen Island Pier. At Roy's command, hundreds of half-elf guards crowded on both sides of the deck. They took out their forest bows and, at the captain's command, shot out rain of arrows in unison.

Although the gray dwarf bandits were wearing bucket helmets, the rain of arrows was too dense, and many arrows hit the bucket helmets, immediately making a clanging sound...

The sudden appearance of the magic airship caught the half-elves at the port dock off guard.

Magical arrows rained down one after another, and the gray dwarf bandits could only raise their tower shields above their heads. In this way, when the gray dwarf bandits charged forward, only the front row of gray dwarf bandits held up their tower shields to push forward...

A large number of Silvermoon Elf guards crowded around the port dock. Standing between the ancient war trees, they wore the best equipment and tried their best to resist the offensive of the Gray Dwarf bandits.

The spearmen standing behind the elven guards holding swords and shields thrust their spears through the gaps in the human wall. Before the gray dwarf bandits could rush up, the spears pierced through the inside of their armor's skirt, the weakest part. The gray dwarf bandits kept wailing and fell in front of the elven guards.

Some gray dwarf bandits who barely rushed forward were holding war hammers and smashing them on the iris shields of the Silvermoon Elf guards. The hammers in their hands were very powerful. As long as the Silvermoon Elf guards who were holding their shields couldn't hold on, the hammers would smash on the helmets of the gray dwarf bandits in the next second.

A blow of hammer will leave a dent on even the most sophisticated magic helmet.

The Silver Moon Elf guards kept falling, and the Silver Moon Elf warriors at the back of the team immediately picked up the Iris Shield and held up the wall.

The number of Silver Moon Elf guards on Queen Island was less than 20,000. With the cooperation of the Ancient War Tree, they were able to withstand the attack of the Gray Dwarf bandits...

Every time the spears of the silver Pegasus knights in the sky fall, they will take the life of a gray dwarf bandit.

With the help of the rain of arrows shot from the magic airship, these gray dwarf bandits crowded on the port dock were blocked on the dock, unable to move forward or backward. The three-masted sailing ship behind them was on fire, and their way forward was blocked by the well-equipped Silvermoon Elf guards.

The gray dwarf bandits wanted to rush to the island, but they couldn't...

I wanted to retreat back to the three-masted sailing ship, but all the three-masted sailing ships near the dock were on fire...

A large number of gray dwarf bandits crowded on the port dock. The Silver Moon Elf archers on the ten ancient war trees shot arrows one after another, and arrows kept falling from the magic airship. The gray dwarf bandits kept being shot and fell down. Some of the gray dwarf bandits also tried to retreat back into the sea.

However, the sea water had been burned so hot by the fire that the gray dwarf bandits had no choice but to rush towards the Queen's Island at the risk of their lives.

Aerial roots continued to appear at the feet of the ten ancient war trees. These tough roots bound the legs of the gray dwarf bandits, trapping them in place...

In order to fight against the dark faceless warriors on the other side of the Sun Island Bay, Roy equipped the mine guards with magic arrows. Facing these gray dwarf robbers wearing barrel helmets, the half-elf guards only need to throw down armor-piercing arrows, and the gray dwarf robbers will be completely unable to stop them.

Under the pouring of large amounts of arrows, the gray dwarf bandits on the port dock began to suffer heavy casualties.

The gray dwarf bandits fell one after another, and the corpses were so dense that they were almost piled up on top of each other.

Led by dozens of leaders, the gray dwarf bandits have been trying to find a breakthrough. Unfortunately, the ancient war trees on Queen Island are connected together to form a long tree wall. The Silver Moon Elf guards stab the gray dwarf bandits with spears across the tree wall. Now the gray dwarf bandits are completely trapped on the port dock and can't get out at all...

Until the number of the gray dwarf bandits was less than 30,000, more than half of the gray dwarves on the port dock were killed or wounded. The gray dwarf bandits completely lost their fighting spirit and began to roar at the Silvermoon Elf guards on the port dock.

The magic airship and the elven archers on the ancient war tree stopped almost at the same time... The gray dwarf bandits on the port dock put down their weapons, raised their hands, and declared surrender to the Silver Moon Elves on Sun Island.

At this moment, the fire had spread to the port dock. Dozens of three-masted sailing ships were destroyed in the sea of ​​fire. In addition to three-masted sailing ships, a large number of medium-sized sailing ships also burned at the port dock.

At dusk, thick smoke billowed across the sky from the Queen's Island Pier.

The elven guards quickly received the gray dwarf bandit prisoners, and a disgusting smell of barbecue wafted from the fire burning at the port dock.

After the gray dwarf bandits surrendered, Roy tried to shoot a magic ice arrow at the burning three-masted sailing ship. Unfortunately, the fire was too fierce. Even if the magic ice arrow flew to the deck of the three-masted sailing ship, it would be instantly evaporated by the raging flames.

The surrendered gray dwarf bandits at the port dock were taken to a beach. These gray dwarves were chained together by the Silvermoon Elf warriors. After an inventory, it was found that 27,000 gray dwarf bandits were captured in this battle.

In addition, the Silver Moon Elf warriors also dragged out nearly 8,000 seriously injured gray dwarf bandits from the pile of corpses...

The fire burned until night, and Roy's magic airship landed in the sea near Queen Island.

He took a small boat to the shore. The reception officer of the 17th Silver Pegasus Military Department was already waiting on the shore. When he saw him getting off the boat, he immediately stood up and saluted!

"Captain Roy, the Earl invites you!"

Roy waved his hand and said, "Lead the way!"

The whole Queen's Island was filled with a thick smell of fireworks, and some ship wreckage and corpses of gray dwarf bandits were floating in the sea.

Roy couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose as he walked.

The Silver Moon Elves who were cleaning up the battlefield on the beach all turned their eyes to Roy.

……

Seeing that the Queen's Island Port Pier had been burned down, Roy slowed down his pace. The heat radiating from the pier still made his skin feel a little stinging even though he was nearly a hundred meters away. He didn't know how long the fire would last.

However, the elves have removed any fire hazards near the port that might have entered the forest, and even the ten ancient war trees have returned to the forest.

The Silvermoon elves had apparently given up on the port terminal and no longer tried to put out the fire.

Thick smoke billowed up into the sky, forming a large gray cloud in the sky. Some ashes that floated into the sky also flew down and covered everywhere.

Roy walked along the forest path until he reached the middle of the mountain. There were injured Silver Moon Elves everywhere along the way, who were resting and receiving treatment.

The Moon Temple did not provide any help in this battle, and the Silver Moon Elves could only use magic potions to treat their wounds.

Roy came to the Tree of Life, just when Earl Swinburne and Earl Macaulay, with a group of Silver Moon Elf officers, were visiting the wounded Silver Moon Elf soldiers who were resting in the forest.

Roy followed the reception elf and took the initiative to salute Earl Swinburne and Earl Macaulay.

Earl Swinburne put down the magic potion bottle in his hand, turned around and looked at Roy seriously, and asked him:

"Roy, what's the situation in the Partington plane? Why did you take the magic airship to the Queen Ewenni Islands instead of staying in the Sun Island Bay?"

Roy knew that Earl Swinburne was very concerned about the situation in Sun Island Bay, so he said, "The situation in Sun Island Bay has stabilized. In fact, the main force resisting the Dark Faceless Army there is not us, but the Siren Army in the sea."

"I heard from Chief Berkeley that the situation in the Queen Ivne Islands is a bit tense. If we gather the magic airships together and the knights have a smooth journey, it won't take much time to fly from Padstow City to the Queen Ivne Islands."

Roy added.

Earl Swinburne nodded and said to Roy: "Your fleet arrived just in time."

As he spoke, Earl Swinburne patted Roy on the shoulder.

"My Lord Earl, I would like to apply to go out to sea tomorrow to chase the remaining gray dwarf bandits. I think they may not be able to leave the outer islands of Queen Ewenni Islands tonight, so I will catch up with them in the magic airship tomorrow morning, and I will definitely be able to stop them."

Roy applied to Earl Swinburne.

"Yes, there are currently two groups of Silver Pegasus Knights chasing the fleeing fleet. Once you reach the open sea, you can cooperate with each other in the battle!" Earl Swinburne reminded Roy.

"Yes!"

Lord Macaulay, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to interject:
"Roy, what happened to the mines in the Caldim Mountains on the Pagisto Plateau? Why did someone complain to me? Because of your obstruction, those silver mines were forced to close. Don't you want to explain to me when you come to the military headquarters this time?"

"I didn't obstruct anything. You know... I just came back from the Dark Gate Expedition Camp a while ago. I just returned to the Partington plane. The mine guards had no time to rest before the Dark Army was discovered in the Sun Island Bay. I didn't have time to take care of those things." Roy said casually.

Lord Swinburne nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Lord Macaulay.

Earl Macaulay turned his head and looked at the two Silver Moon Elf Guard Captains behind him. After thinking for a moment, he said to Roy:
"I'll return the operating rights of the silver mines in the Caldeum Mountains to you! I've figured out that only if you manage the mines on the Pagisto Plateau can you get good returns."

Roy ignored the unwilling expressions of the two Silver Moon Elf leaders behind Earl Macaulay and agreed loudly:
"Yes, Lord Macaulay!"
