Chapter 768: Bloody Battle on Kui Island 769
The sunlight shines through the dew-covered young leaves and falls on the mossy woodland. Various insects and fungi are hidden in the countless rotten leaves, and the woodland exudes a smell of corruption and mildew.

The gray dwarf Harold pushed aside a banana leaf in front of him, and the dew on the leaf dripped onto his head. He wiped his face with his hand, and when he took his hand away, he found that his palm was full of blood.

Harold spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which was all blood-colored. He pressed his right ribs with his hand and felt that his ribs must be broken. He felt a sharp pain with every breath.

He was originally just an engineer carrying flint on the catapult position. Last night, he found a group of elves who appeared out of nowhere and forcibly occupied the dock. So he picked up the warhammer and followed the captain to support his companions on the dock...

But before he even touched the edge of the dock, he saw a large number of elven guards wearing full silver armor rushing out from the dock.

Harold had participated in the raid on Queen's Island. He had seen the well-equipped Silvermoon Elf guards. Although the elves had advantages in weapons and equipment, they could not stop the charge of the Gray Dwarf warriors on the battlefield.

Not only are the elves afraid of death, they are also far inferior to the gray dwarf warriors in terms of strength.
But the elven guards with silver masks on their faces at the dock last night were completely different. They were wearing the top-level magic armor and holding the sharpest magic weapons in their hands. They swung the elven swords in their hands, and Harold saw with his own eyes that the elven guard cut off the handle of the forged steel hammer with one sword. The hammer head fell to the ground and directly smashed the toes of the unfortunate gray dwarf warrior into pieces.

He had never seen elves being stronger than dwarves...

Dozens of gray dwarf warriors fell as soon as they fought with the elven guards, and then the defense line formed at the edge of the dock collapsed instantly.

Harroy was squeezed in the fleeing crowd and was constantly swept away into the depths of the jungle.

He wanted to remind his companions that the elves were the masters of the forest, but they were so frightened that they just ran forward desperately, and he couldn't stop them.

The further they ran, the more their companions fell behind. Harold ran from the Kuei Island Pier to the edge of the woods on the other side of the island in one breath. Everyone heard the sound of waves outside the woods and saw the fiery red sun rising above the sea level. Only then did they realize that there was no way forward.

A group of elven guards wearing silver armor were actually able to line up in formation. The front row of elven warriors held swords and shields, the back row of elven warriors held spears, and the last row of elven warriors held longbows...

There was actually a group of human priests following behind their team...

Along the way, some gray dwarves kept trying to resist, and some kept falling in pools of blood. The remaining gray dwarves were forced out of the jungle little by little by the elven warriors who were chasing them from behind, and everyone was forced to stand on the beach.

Several gray dwarves were about to take advantage of the chaos to escape into the sea, but were immediately shot dead by the surrounding elves holding longbows. Their bodies fell on the beach, and waves surged over and pushed the bodies of the gray dwarves back.

The biggest difference between these elves and the elves we have encountered before is that they don’t like to leave any alive during battle.

When fighting the Silver Moon Elves, the Gray Dwarves were used to one thing: the Silver Moon Elves guards would not kill easily. They would often beat the Gray Dwarves until they lost their combat effectiveness, then arrest them and send them to the military court for trial and conviction...

However, the elven guards who rushed to Kui Island had no such idea at all. Their arrows were basically aimed at the forehead, throat and heart.

Many of the gray dwarves who were shot by arrows fell straight on the beach...

Harold finally felt the fear of 'death chasing him'.

When we rushed into the jungle last night, there were about three thousand gray dwarves.

The number of gray dwarves who have managed to escape to the beach is less than one-tenth of the number last night...

Harold squeezed into the crowd and stood on the soft sand. At this time, all the gray dwarves lost their fighting spirit. Seeing the elven guards constantly coming out of the dense forest and quickly forming a formation, the gray dwarves stood in a row and dropped their weapons on the beach.

But to Harold's surprise, the elf guards did not rush over quickly. Instead, someone shouted in Dwarven:

"All the gray dwarves who are willing to surrender put down their weapons and walk ten steps forward, raise their hands above their heads, and spread their legs..."

Harold was a little hesitant at first, for he did not want to lie on the beach in such a humiliating manner with only his buttocks exposed. But while he was hesitating, a gray dwarf tried to stand up to protest. Almost at the moment he opened his mouth, an arrow shot into his mouth, and the tip of the arrow came out through the back of his head.

The body of the gray dwarf fell straight down, his head hitting the beach, blood splattered everywhere...

"Put down your weapons and give up resistance. We may not kill you, but don't try to do any dangerous actions, otherwise we will shoot you without mercy!" Another sentence came from the group of elf guards opposite.

The gray dwarves who were shivering on the beach fell down again, and Harold was among them.

He was thirsty and sleepy at the moment, and had already been exhausted. Soon, an elf guard stepped on his back, and the hard iron boots almost broke his vertebrae. Then he felt a rope around their wrists...

A group of gray dwarf captives, their hands and feet bound, struggled to get up from the beach sand.

Harold was covered in sand, and his companions were not having an easy time either. When all the gray dwarves were tied together with ropes, the elves only left ten guards to escort the gray dwarves to the dock, and all the remaining elven guards went back into the dense forest.

It took Harroy a whole morning to walk back to the dock from the west side of the island. He then saw hundreds of gray dwarves in shackles digging holes with pickaxes at the edge of a woodland near the dock.

The sand pit was easy to dig out, but it was also constantly collapsing…

The prisoners carried the bodies of the gray dwarves to the edge of the sand pit and then threw them into it. When the pit was almost full, they would cover it with a layer of sand. Then new sand pits would be dug at the edge of the woods to continue burying the bodies of the gray dwarves.

Harold secretly looked at the sea near the dock. Only a few masts were visible on the sea. Except for the fifteen magic airships, almost all the ships were sunk in the sea.

At this moment, Harold felt disheartened, because he finally realized that the gray dwarves on the island of Que were completely finished.

Even if the compatriots in the underground castle could hold on for a while, without the boat, they would be trapped and die on this volcanic island.

Harold knelt on the dock in despair. The chains on his body were connected to the neck of the gray dwarf companion behind him. Due to his chain, the companion behind him was also pulled to his knees on the dock. Then a chain reaction occurred, and a group of gray dwarves staggered and knelt on the dock.

At this time, Harold saw a siren warrior with a hideous face emerging from the sea. He glanced at the gray dwarves on the dock and shouted in Naga:

"Boss, what should we do with these gray dwarf prisoners? It would be a waste of manpower to guard them, or we could just bury them..."

"Let them stay here. They are Roy's prisoners of war. We should not treat them carelessly."

A cold voice came, causing Harroy's whole body to tremble continuously. Then he let out a long breath, and there was a kind of bitterness of surviving a disaster, which kept surging from his heart...

Roy naturally didn't know at this time that a large number of gray dwarf prisoners were gathering at the dock by the sea, so much so that some of the sirens wanted to give up and dig a pit to bury the excess gray dwarf prisoners.

He squatted on the stone wall in front of the entrance to the underground castle, looking down at the gray dwarf bandit who walked out of the entrance step by step with chain shield in hand.

These gray dwarf bandits were wearing black iron armor that was as heavy as an iron barrel. Magic arrows with the "penetration" attribute could no longer penetrate this heavy armor, but the half-blood elf guards still had short flying spears with the "armor-breaking" attribute in their hands...

These short flying spears were originally equipped for the griffin cavalry. This time when Roy led the fleet to conquer Que Island, he brought some with him.

Half-elf guards rarely have to use these, but that doesn't mean they won't use them.

Especially near the exit, there was an arc-shaped wall built. The half-elf guards stood on the wall looking down. When they saw the gray dwarf robbers wearing iron barrel-like armor walking out of the entrance, they immediately threw the short flying spears in their hands.

Some of the short flying spears pierced the iron barrel, and blood immediately gushed out along the barrel wall, while some of the short flying spears bounced directly and fell to the ground...

It was already noon, and the half-elf guards who had fought all night began to feel tired. Roy arranged for them to take turns to rest in batches.

The gray dwarf bandits were blocked in the underground castle by them and were constantly trying to launch some counterattacks...

Roy felt that the Iron Barrel Heavy Armor might be the last resort of the gray dwarf bandits, because he had already felt the powerful aura overflowing from the entrance of the underground castle.

At this time, Captain Jeroin and Captain Timothy came to Roy at the same time, staring at the entrance of the underground castle. With the sound of chains being dragged, a second-level gray dwarf with a beard that grew to his feet walked out of the underground castle. He was holding an iron chain in his hand. At the end of the five or six meter long chain was a huge hammer.

He walked out of the entrance with his eyes squinted and yawned, raised his head and looked at Roy, with an almost crazy smile on his face.

"You guys... actually dared to come to my door..."

His words were a little unclear, and it looked like he was drunk last night and had not yet fully sobered up.

However, the powerful aura emanating from him forced Roy to be cautious...

As he spoke, the shadow of a dwarf king emerged from behind him. Just as he swung the chain casually, the shadow of the dwarf king actually swept the surrounding walls with his war hammer. An incomparably powerful air wave rushed over and caused the temporary walls to collapse in an instant.

The gray dwarf leader rushed towards Roy like a charging wild boar.

Before Roy could react, Captain Jeroin raised a gold-decorated shield. A beam of holy light fell on his shield, and a silver iris pattern suddenly appeared on the shield. In the middle of the pattern was a cross. The entire shield completely blocked Captain Jeroin's body.

Captain Jelloin held up his shield, stood in front of Roy, and walked towards the gray dwarf leader.

The gray dwarf leader swung the chain in his hand, and the huge hammer head seemed to turn into a black anaconda with poisonous horns in the air, smashing towards Captain Jelloin.

There was a muffled 'bang' sound.

The huge hammer head bounced back and flew towards the sky...

The holy shield in Captain Jeroin's hand instantly lost its color and returned to its original appearance.

Captain Timothy had already received the news from Roy, and then half of a dagger appeared on the back of the gray dwarf leader's neck. Before the dagger appeared completely, the gray dwarf leader turned around abruptly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Captain Timothy who was hiding in the shadows.

Captain Timothy closed his eyes, and his body turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared instantly.

"Human priests, Dark Moon Elf assassins, no wonder you occupied most of my island in one night..."

The gray dwarf leader shouted loudly in dwarven language that Roy could not understand. He pulled the chain hammer with one hand and easily swung it, then smashed it at Captain Jelloin.

Captain Jelloin raised his shield again, and then a shield of light appeared in front of him. The chain hammer hit the shield of light, and the entire shield exploded instantly. The hammer head hit the iris shield again, and immediately knocked the iris shield in Captain Jelloin's hand away.

Captain Jeroin took advantage of the momentum to roll over, barely avoiding the flying chains of the gray dwarf leader.

The leader of the gray dwarves took the opportunity to stick behind Captain Jeroin. Only then did Roy activate all the magic patterns on his Griswald magic pattern structure. The light blue magic pattern structure emitted an extremely dazzling halo...

Roy held a book of judgment in both hands. When he opened the first page, a small silver hammer began to spin and dance around him. When he opened the second page of the book of judgment, the second small silver hammer began to spin around his body.

Roy began to recite a prayer, and the Book of Judgment turned to the third page. The third silver hammer kept spinning and jumping, appearing around Roy.

He pointed his finger at the gray dwarf leader, and three silver hammers with different patterns flew towards the gray dwarf leader almost at the same time.

'Hammer of Justice'

The first hammer turned into a lightning-like silver light and hit the forehead of the gray dwarf leader accurately. The gray dwarf leader suddenly froze in place.

Following closely behind is a 'Hammer of Judgment'.

When it flew in front of the gray dwarf leader, the shadow of the dwarf king behind the gray dwarf leader suddenly became solid, and the giant hammer in the hand of the dwarf king's shadow fell in front of the gray dwarf leader, and the hammer of judgment hit the giant hammer...

The giant hammer received a heavy blow and dissipated into thin air.

Under the horrified gaze of the gray dwarf leader, the third silver hammer thrown by Roy at the same time had already flown in front of him.
