Path of Light.

Chapter 730 731. Return to Castletown

The Faceless Legion suddenly disappeared without a trace, which was undoubtedly good news for the half-elf guards and the sirens in the Sun Island Bay. After so many days of fierce fighting, everyone finally had a few days of rest.

Roy stayed in Sun Island Bay for nearly a week.

During this period, the headhunter prisoners carried out a third large-scale reinforcement of the city wall, and even built four 30-meter-high arrow towers on the city wall, making the city wall blocking the entrance to Sun Island Bay look like a gate.

Roy was thinking about leaving the four arrow towers when he demolished the city wall after the naval battle and letting them become the gates to Sun Island Bay...

The third magic airship arrived at the Sun Island Bay and finally delivered a batch of magic crossbows. Currently, Roy's mine guard group has become the largest purchaser of this type of magic crossbows. The volume of the last three purchases is almost the inventory reserve of the Magic Guild for nearly three years.

The volume of orders Roy received later directly promoted the mine guards to VIP customers of the Silver Moon Elf Magic Guild, with the transaction value of the orders exceeding 500,000 magic crystals.

Such a large purchase order really scared the Silver Moon Elves on the Elf Continent. Some Silver Moon Elf nobles even believed that this was some preparation made by the half-blood elves for the second riot. If so many giant magic crossbows were dropped into the elven city, it would be enough to flatten the city.

For this reason, Earl Swinburne had to send an elf to deliver a letter, asking Roy to make a detailed purchase application for the giant magic crossbow.

Roy was a little confused. This time the purchase was made through the relationship with the great magician Grahams, but in the end he still had to make a written report to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

Although a report had to be written, the elven military had no way of interfering with the Magic Guild's transactions. The orders were not cancelled, and batches of supplies were being continuously transported from Wopeye to the Partington plane.

The magic airship stopped at the plateau city on the Pagisto Plateau. Roy stood at the airport dock and could just see the prisoner-of-war concentration camp across the Tora River.

All 55,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war have moved into the concentration camp outside the city. The entire camp seems extremely crowded. The prisoner concentration camp has undergone a temporary expansion and many facilities are in an unfinished state. The three main buildings in the camp, dormitories, canteens and toilets, are all in an uncapped state.

The Plateau City has a large stockpile of hollow bricks, so it is actually very simple to build a courtyard wall and a one-story building. However, the wood for building the roof needs to be airlifted from Padstow City, which is the most troublesome.

There are 6,000 half-elf guards stationed in the Plateau City, of which 5,000 are responsible for guarding the concentration camp...

"You have transferred 5,000 half-elf guards from the Plateau City. I have been living in fear every day recently, fearing that the prisoner-of-war concentration camp will suddenly riot... Do you know that there are not only 22,000 Plateau Headhunters living in the concentration camp, but also 55,000 gray dwarf prisoners? Once a riot occurs, even if these prisoners are unarmed, the 5,000 half-elf guards guarding the concentration camp will not be able to stop them at all."

In the office of City Hall, Mulin came up to Roy and spoke to him seriously.

"The number of half-elven residents in the Plateau City has now grown to three hundred thousand. I am responsible for their safety."

Roy put down the copied sea chart and looked up at Mu Lin who was about to ask for an explanation:

"…So how is the recruitment of new guards going?"

Mu Lin glared at Roy fiercely. Sometimes she felt that Roy always liked to gamble when doing things, which was not a good habit at all.

"So far, the Plateau City has recruited 10,000 new half-elf guards. The number of elven guards in the mine guard corps has actually reached 30,000. This number can be split into six elven guard corps." Mulin said to Roy.

This means that Roy actually has six Elf Guards...

Roy gently knelt on his forehead and said:
"Let's do this for now. We can't form a new mine guard group right now, and the military won't approve it."

Mulin sat down opposite Roy and asked, "What are you going to do with these gray dwarf prisoners?"

Roy said: "First select a group of blacksmiths and send them to the forging workshop. Our forging workshop is not large enough."

Thinking of the current situation of the forge, he immediately reported to Roy: "Now all the black iron ore produced by the three black iron mines in the Jiaxi Mountains is supplied to the forge. The construction of the plateau city has been consuming hollow bricks made of waste slag. The black iron ingots stored in the forge have now piled up into more than a dozen small hills."

Roy nodded and said, "Let Qian Ning transport a batch of mithril ingots to the forging workshop. I plan to make a batch of heavy armor. Considering that it will be used in the sea, the surface of the armor needs to be plated with silver."

"understood."

Mu Lin would seriously carry out whatever Roy arranged.

Roy continued:
"The rest of the gray dwarf prisoners will receive six months of training in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp. They need to learn the elven language, learn to obey, and adapt to the new rules. Mulin, no matter how honest they behave, they are still a group of gray dwarves. They are born robbers among the dwarves. They have the bad habit of plundering other people's property in their bones. Although there are some blacksmiths among them, we must also be more cautious against them."

He paused, then said in a more severe tone: "When dealing with these gray dwarf prisoners, between carrots and sticks, the stick is often more useful."

Mulin frowned, obviously very unhappy that Roy had handed the gray dwarf prisoners over to her.

"It's already troublesome for me to manage 300,000 half-blood elves here, and I have to manage 80,000 prisoners of war who may explode at any time. It's really troublesome enough."

Roy raised his head and smiled, saying, "You'll get used to it..."

Mu Lin rolled her eyes and wanted to refute again.

In fact, a year ago, she found that she couldn't keep up with Roy's pace. He walked too fast and refused to stay where he was. Now, his hand has reached the sea of ​​Partington. At this time, the Dark Faceless Army invaded the plane, and the half-blood elves of Partington could not sit still and wait for death...

At least the half-blood elves in the Plateau City are more enthusiastic than ever about joining the battle.

The elves have never been so proactive in war.

Hearing that Boss Roy had established a line of defense in the Sun Island Bay, more than 10,000 young half-elves rushed to join the mine guard.

Today, the plateau city designed and built for 100,000 half-blood elves is actually crowded with nearly 300,000 half-blood elves...

Almost all the magical herbs on the Pagisto Plateau were dug up by the collectors.

However, there are still a large number of half-elves who come to the plateau city on magic airships.

Mu Lin looked out the window and saw a magic airship slowly approaching the airport terminal.

"Let's arrange these things as soon as possible. I will take this magic airship to Padstow later."

Roy's voice rang in Mulin's ears...

……

Thirty-three three-masted sailing ships were still anchored in the safe harbor of Partington Island. Roy needed to go in person to talk to the imperial businessman Darwin about the transformation of the magic airship.

He and the imperial merchant Darwin are old friends, and their relationship is very strong, because what maintains their friendship is the magical herb business in the Partington plane.

Roy walked out of the cabin and went straight up the stairs to the roof. The sea breeze blew past him, and the statue of the Silver Moon Elf on the top of the mountain in the distance gradually became clearer.

Thinking of returning to Castletown, I want to go see Moira first. It has been several months since I last saw this well-behaved and lovely girlfriend.

Even Miss Tiffany lives in Sunny Isles Bay now.

Without Miss Tiffany's company, Moira would probably be very bored.

The half-blood elf girl has been studying at the Elf Academy. Every time I see her, I can clearly feel her transformation from her youth...

Every time he saw her pretty face, clear eyes like purple grapes, and lips like jelly, Roy couldn't help but want to take a sip.

Her body is quite sensitive, and even a light lick on her pointed ears will make her whole body go soft.

Clearly, he was like a night blade leopard with bared fangs and claws because of nervousness a moment ago, but the next second he turned into a civet cat with wide eyes...

Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for too long, and the longing is like a spring, flowing out from the treasure house of memory.

Roy stood on the top of the ship and enjoyed the sea breeze for a long time. An elf recognized his identity, so this area on the top of the ship became a forbidden area, and no elf would dare to come up.

There were even some half-elves and Silver Moon elves on the deck who secretly looked up at the roof. Roy certainly didn't like being watched, so he just found a chair on the roof and sat down. A Silver Moon elf crew member also kindly brought him a cup of hot tea and biscuits.

After sitting for a while and watching the thief seagulls appearing at the stern, Roy knew that Castletown Harbor was approaching.

……

The port terminal has changed a lot. A tower crane fixed to the dock has been installed at the deepwater dock. This is to facilitate the lifting of various materials from the five-masted sailing ship.

Most of the merchant ships moored at the deepwater docks were still from the Green Empire, at least that was what Roy thought.

When we got off the boat, the building next to the dock seemed to be being renovated, and many half-elf carpenters were building some wooden shelves.

Perhaps because a large number of fishing boats were docked at the port, the fish market opposite the pier seemed very lively, with a large group of vendors crowded there.

Roy glanced casually at the west side of the pier. The Black Pearl was stranded on the beach as usual. The tide was rising, and the Black Pearl was surrounded by seawater...

The white manor on the isolated cliff next to the Black Pearl is still so dazzling in the sun.

Roy couldn't help but think of Princess Ophelia. He wondered how this history teacher was doing at the Elf Academy recently...

Large merchant ships are lined up neatly at the dock of Castletown Port.
