Path of Light.

Chapter 727 Chapter 728. Night battle
Overnight, a stone wall appeared at the narrow entrance to Sun Island Bay.

The ice wall continued to melt under the scouring of the sea water, and the stone wall behind the ice wall was revealed little by little. The griffin cavalry in the sky had been fighting for a whole night and now flew to various arrow tower sentries to rest. Only a large group of headhunter warriors were still working hard to carry hollow bricks and continue to build the stone wall.

After daybreak, the tide gradually receded, and the part of the stone wall exposed above the sea looked very spectacular.

However, the boulders dropped by the griffin riders could only be the cornerstones of the stone wall. If they wanted to build a wall, they would need the headhunter prisoners to use hollow bricks to build a real city wall on the sea.

These headhunter prisoners have rich experience in wall-building. They first make the stone foundation flat, then pile up the hollow bricks, and string all the hollow bricks together with chains. With a large number of chains connected, the wall can become very strong even without cement mortar.

Since the arrow tower was built on the top of a mountain, the required building materials could only be obtained locally.

At the beginning, the headhunter prisoners insisted on using the stones carved out from the cliffs to build arrow towers. Later, Roy planned to build a wall between the arrow towers. From that time on, the mined stones were not enough.

In order to build the city wall smoothly, Captain Tiprado obtained the formula of a building material from Miss Tiffany. This building material was the material used by the Canas to build underwater cities.

The main ingredient is a kind of gelatin boiled from a large amount of kelp. The gelatin is mixed into sand and gravel, and then pressed into the shape of hollow bricks using a mold. After drying, it can become a very strong hollow brick. This hollow brick appears a matcha color in the sea.

The headhunter prisoners strung these hollow bricks together with chains, connecting hundreds or thousands of bricks together. Such a city wall can be built very quickly. In the future, the city wall will be covered with some corals, shells and seaweed. When all the gaps disappear, the chains will be completely rusted by the sea water in time, and the entire wall will not collapse.

In order to build the city wall at the exit of the bay in a very short time, some of the hollow bricks at the back were even removed from the city wall on the top of the mountain.

After a day and a night of fighting, a city wall appeared at the exit of Sun Island Bay. This stone wall was more than 200 meters long and was built by more than 4,000 half-elves and 5,000 highland headhunter prisoners of war.

The stone foundation of the city wall was piled up with large rocks found by 2,500 griffins from nearby mountains, and on top of the stone foundation was a wall built with hollow bricks.

The part of the city wall that is exposed above the sea is only six or seven meters high, but the wall is more than ten meters wide, completely isolating the Sun Island Bay from the western waters.

When dusk came, the Dark Faceless Army came again, but they couldn't find the entrance to the Sun Island Bay...

They tried to drill out of the sea and climb up the newly built city wall, but the tentacles kept emerging from the sea and spreading upwards along the cracks in the wall, and then a huge corpse emerged from the sea.

At this time, the griffin riders who were constantly hovering in the sky immediately lowered their flying altitude and drew out short flying spears from behind.

As the griffins folded their wings and dived downward, the griffin riders threw short spears toward the sea...

These short flying spears had a row of sharp barbs on the tips. With a "puff" sound, one short flying spear after another pierced the Faceless Warriors who were trying to climb the wall.

The Faceless Warriors were stabbed by the short spears, and their bodies immediately twisted violently. The tentacles on their bodies kept twisting, and some tentacles even wrapped around the short spears and pulled them out of their bodies.

Other Faceless Warriors sprayed ink into the sky. The ink could reach a height of thirty meters, but it couldn't even touch the griffins' feathers.

……

The exit of Sun Island Bay is attacked by the Faceless Legion every day.

Last night, the siren Jie Zena summoned all the siren singers on Sun Island to form an ice wall at the exit of the bay, allowing Roy to command the half-elf guards, griffin cavalry and headhunter prisoners, and built a stone wall behind the ice wall.

At dusk the next day, when the Faceless Legion approached the Sun Island Bay again, they found that a stone wall had inexplicably appeared there.

When the Faceless Warriors climbed up the stone wall, they were immediately attacked by the Griffin Cavalry in the sky...

At the same time, the city walls were filled with half-elf guards. They held forest bows and continuously shot feather arrows emitting a sacred aura at the Faceless Warriors. Behind these half-elf guards were a dozen priests.

It was these priests who released holy beams of light on the city walls, directly lighting up the city walls at night. At the same time, they also bestowed the power of holy light on the feather arrows of the half-elf guards.

After these feather arrows were thrown at the faceless warriors, they caused a strong corrosive effect on them...

In an instant, the first batch of Faceless Warriors that rushed towards the city wall left half of their bodies behind and retreated back to the sea in embarrassment.

Roy was also guarding the city wall at this time. He was wearing the Griswald Magic Pattern Armor, holding a flail and the Book of Judgment. He was surrounded by a strong sacred aura, and the shadow of a Holy Light Tree often appeared behind him...

There was always a sacred beam of light in front of Roy, which was like a holy beacon in the dark night, making all the half-elf guards on the city wall feel very secure. As long as Roy stood on the city wall, the half-elf guards had endless strength. Even if they saw the tentacles of countless faceless warriors surging out of the deep sea, they would not retreat a single step.

When a Dark Faceless Warrior dies, his body will turn into a sticky black oil-like liquid that stains the stone walls.

These black viscous liquids quickly melted under the holy light and were then carried back to the sea by the waves.

Several faceless warriors climbed up from under the stone wall, bearing the corrosion of the holy light column and with short flying spears stuck in their backs. Roy rushed forward first, holding a flail in his hand, chanting a prayer, and then swinging the flail...

Roy threw a small holy light hammer. The hammer filled with a strong holy light aura hit the Dark Faceless Man directly. A hole the size of a coconut shell immediately appeared on the chest of the unfortunate Dark Faceless Man.

And its body collapsed at this moment.

Roy put one foot on the hollow bricks next to the city wall. The half-elf guards beside him shot arrows one after another. Behind the half-elf archers stood spearmen.

Other Faceless Warriors were also stabbed by spears and fell into the sea.

At this moment, a tentacle suddenly stretched out from the crevice and secretly wrapped around Roy's leg. Roy felt that he was being pulled by a huge force and lost his balance. He was about to be pulled into the sea by the tentacle secretly stretched out by the faceless warrior. At this moment, Leah jumped out from the shadows again like a night blade leopard. She held two daggers in her hands and cut off the tentacle as fast as lightning!

At the same time, another black shadow pounced out and jumped directly onto the back of the Faceless Warrior with its nimble body. It was a real Night Blade Leopard. It opened its bloody mouth and bit the Faceless Warrior's head directly. It shook its head violently and actually tore off all the shorter tentacles on the Faceless Warrior's head.

Just when several thick tentacles emerged and tried to wrap around it, the Night Blade Leopard leaped up and disappeared into the night. The tentacles didn't even touch the Night Blade Leopard's fur.

The tentacles wrapped around his legs stood limply on the thick leather greaves. Roy discovered that there was a row of densely packed suction cups on the tentacles. There were actually needle-like poisonous stingers in the round holes in the middle of these suction cups. Unfortunately, these tiny poisonous stingers could not pierce Roy's magic pattern structure, so the stingers had no effect on Roy at all.

Roy's magic pattern equipment can enhance his holy light power, and has a significant effect on his physique, strength, and magic resistance.

He found that this time, after throwing five Holy Light Hammers in a row, he did not feel the strong dizziness he usually felt...

Throughout the entire night, Roy didn't know how many waves of Dark Faceless Warriors he had fought off on the city wall. Whenever the priests behind him got tired, they would go to the back to rest, and new priests would immediately come to replace them...

The griffin cavalry hovering in the night sky also took turns to join the battle.

When the first ray of light appeared on the horizon, the dark faceless warriors retreated back to the sea, leaving only some corpses of the faceless warriors on the city wall.

The half-elf guards who had been fighting in the Sun Island Bay could finally sit down on the city wall and rest.

Roy sat for a while before standing up from the wall. He needed to walk around the wall to see the specific conditions in other parts of the wall.

After a night of fighting, three collapsed areas appeared in the more than 200-meter-long city wall. Roy immediately called the headhunter prisoners who had slept all night to work. They had to reinforce the city wall all day.

The half-elf guards who had been fighting all night also needed a good rest.

Roy walked back and forth on the city wall. Although dozens of half-elf guards died in this battle, the emotions of the other half-elf guards were relatively stable. When they saw Roy coming, they all stood up and saluted him.

At this time, a team of half-elf guards climbed onto the city wall and replaced the half-elf guards who were already exhausted on the city wall.

Another officer ran up to Roy and said to him:

"Boss Roy, you've been fighting all night, go to the camp behind and take a rest."

……

The half-blood elf guards' camp was set up in the woods on the northern slope of the mountain. The tents had already been built, and there were half-blood elves distributing food and hammocks in the open space in the woods.

Roy also queued up to get two breadfruits and a cup of fruit tea, and sat under the tree to eat them alone.

By this time the sun had risen, the sea surface had also become brighter, and the Faceless Warriors had disappeared...

Some half-elf guards were holding long poles, searching for dark magic cores in the sticky black oil. These were the most valuable things on the Faceless Warriors.

The half-elf guards who had fought all night had the dark energy on their bodies purified by the priests. Then they hung hammocks in the woods and fell asleep in the hammocks.

Suddenly, snoring sounds were heard in the camp, and all the elves passing by the camp would inadvertently slow down their footsteps.

Roy was sitting under a tree at the edge of the camp, preparing to lie in the hammock for a while, when he saw Sabrina, exhausted, leading a snow-white griffin up the slope. She had obviously seen Roy and was walking towards him.

She held the helmet in her hand, her hair was wet, as if she had just taken a shower.

The quivers and short spear racks behind him were all empty, and it seemed that they had participated in the fierce battle last night.

Sabrina came to Roy, patted the griffin's head, and told it to go find a dry place to rest. Then she hung a hammock on two trees nearby and said to Roy, "Do you mind if I set up a hammock here?"

"Would you like some help?"

Roy put down the teacup in his hand and walked over to help Sabrina tighten the rope of the hammock.

Sabrina pursed her lips, a hint of joy hanging on her bright face, her eyes were as clear and blue as the sea. She inherited the beautiful face of the Silver Moon Elf and the tall figure of the Wood Elf, which made her look very different among the elves.

Sabrina did not take off her magical armor, but only removed the shoulder armor and hung it on the head of the hammock together with the helmet.

A pair of silver combat boots was placed on the other side. He placed his hands on both sides of the hammock, and moved his body slightly, like a nimble carp, and lay down in the hammock nimbly.

She turned slightly to look at Roy.

Roy was standing in front of a hammock between two other trees. The two hammocks were not far apart. The terrain here was just right, with a wide view. He could see the sea in the distance while lying in the hammock.

Roy was still debating whether to lie down in the hammock for a while when he heard Sabrina say to him:

"Roy, do you think we can defeat the Dark Faceless Army? If we lose, do we have to give up the Partington plane?"

"The Dark Faceless Army has never been a threat to us. What I'm worried about is that once the Dark Faceless Army gains a foothold in the Partington plane, they will immediately bring other dark armies over. That would be the most troublesome thing." Roy took off his boots, hung them on a tree branch, and climbed onto the hammock.

"This time I went to Queen Ewenni Islands to participate in the war and captured a lot of gray dwarf prisoners. I heard that their hometown was completely occupied by the Dark Legion, so they were forced to compete with us for the island. There are so many islands in the Endless Sea, but they just want to occupy Queen Ewenni Islands. I really don't understand."

Roy turned over and lay in the hammock, speaking somewhat speechlessly.

"Did you go to see Moira when you went to the Elven Continent this time?"

"No, I'm planning to go back to Castletown in a few days. Do you want to go with me?" Roy asked casually.

"The situation here in Sun Island Bay is so bad, let's just forget it."

Sabrina twisted herself up, reached up and put the helmet on her face, and stopped talking.

On the sea not far away, two medium-sized sailboats were moored at a simple dock, and a group of half-elf guards were unloading a large amount of supplies from the ships.

Even among the half-blood elves living in the Sun Island Bay, not all of them supported Roy's fight against the Faceless Legion. Some middle-level officers in the regiment, including Captain Tiprado, believed that the Dark Faceless Legion could not threaten the elf town on the north shore of the Sun Island Bay. If they wanted to fight the Sirens, then let them fight, and it would be best if both sides suffered losses...

Therefore, when Captain Tiprado led the Griffin Cavalry Regiment to participate in the night battle a few days ago, he was always working without putting in any effort, which was also the reason why the mermaid Jie Zena was furious.

Now that Roy had come to the battlefield of Sun Island Bay in person and had fought with the Dark Faceless Army for a whole night, the Siren Jie Zena's anger should have subsided.
