Path of Light.

Chapter 772 773. Dwarf Treasure
In recent days, Zeina has been asking Roy almost every day:
"When exactly can we go back to Sun Island Bay?"

Roy's answer was the same:
"It will be soon, soon, maybe in these few days."

There are 36,000 gray dwarf bandits imprisoned in eight concentration camps on the beach. Half of the half-elf guards have to guard these gray dwarf prisoners.

Despite this, most of the half-elf officers were worried that if these gray dwarf bandits discovered that their number was less than 10,000, a riot might occur and they might overwhelm the mine guards in one fell swoop.

The fifteen magic airships were no longer docked at the pier, but hovered over the island of Kui day and night. They would rather burn some magic crystals every day than let them become the target of attack by the gray dwarf bandits.

The ship salvage work at the Kuei Island dock has also been temporarily stopped. The four three-masted sailing ships salvaged from the sea are now all stranded on the beach.

These gray dwarves built a row of catapults on the beach, there are about forty of them. These catapults are about ten meters high and are made of some square wood and metal connectors. There is a bag of stones on one side of the catapult. When this bag of stones falls from a height, it will throw the stone ball on the other end out. If it can hit the ship on the sea, it will cause considerable damage to the ship, but the prerequisite is that it can hit the ship.

I have to say, the accuracy of this thing is a bit disappointing...

In addition to forty immobile catapults on the beach, there was also a row of cannons. When Roy saw these simple cannons carved with magical patterns, for a moment he thought he had returned to medieval Europe.

This thing requires filling the barrel with gunpowder, then putting the iron ball into the barrel through the muzzle, and finally lighting the fuse.

Roy even had some doubts as to whether this guy could actually hit the enemy.

There are more than a hundred such cannons near the beach, each with four solid wooden wheels underneath, allowing it to be pushed around.

Roy had a plan. He wanted to transport these cannons to the mountain arrow towers outside the Sun Island Bay to defend against the dark faceless men coming from the western waters. The range of this thing is much longer than that of the whaling crossbow.

This is just an idea for now. After all, except for the gray dwarves, no one else can use this thing.

In addition, the biggest gain from occupying Kui Island was the capture of an underground castle that could accommodate 40,000 gray dwarf bandits. This underground castle built by the gray dwarf bandits had a very complete metallurgical forging workshop.

Several large magic furnaces are close to the underground magma river. As long as the metal ingots from the Partington plane are transported here, some metal parts can be forged.

This group of gray dwarf bandits were quite poor, and Roy did not loot many magic crystals from them. The magic crystals from all the gray dwarf bandits put together did not exceed 100,000.

However, Kuei Island has stockpiled a large amount of war supplies, including a large amount of heavy chain armor that is only suitable for dwarves to wear. Of course, the dwarves' weapons are also heavy and short, and are of no use to the elves.

The dwarves are good at making magical devices, but Roy did not find anything of that kind in the underground city of Kui Island.

If they didn't have the magic furnace and sophisticated heavy chain mail, Roy would have thought they were no different from the orcs in the north of the continent. The underground castle was too shabby...

Among the dwarves in the dwarf kingdom, the gray dwarves are not the ones who are proficient in forging.

They are born robbers who like to burn, kill and loot, and have a very bad reputation in the northern continent.

For a long time, the territory of the gray dwarves and the kingdom of the elves have not been adjacent to each other. There is the vast and desolate Mensa Plain between them. This plain belongs to the territory of the orc tribe. The gray dwarves cannot defeat the strong and brave tribal orcs on land.

Therefore, after their homes were successively occupied, they immediately ran to the gap between the Naga Sea Tribe and the Elf Kingdom to survive...

Gray dwarves are greedy, cunning, cruel, bloodthirsty, and have a strong desire to attack. However, they also have a big disadvantage, which is that they are suspicious by nature. When they meet opponents who appear to be very strong, they will easily retreat...

This time, Roy's mine guards only took one day and one night to scare and subdue these gray dwarf bandits.

It was mainly because the half-elf guards relied on sophisticated magical weapons and equipment, coupled with the blessing spells of the human priests of the Knights Templar, that the gray dwarves had no way to cope with it.

The gray dwarf Doyle walked into the camp barefoot.

He was wearing simple linen clothes and rubbing his wrists as he walked. After entering the camp, he looked around and observed the situation in the camp.

There was a shooting range built at the entrance of the camp. Many half-elf warriors were wearing light leather armor and carrying bows and arrows, standing next to the shooting range, waiting in line to practice archery...

Doyle discovered that even though these half-elf guards were not wearing full-coverage mithril heavy armor, they were wearing brown sheepskin light armor, and the daggers on their belts were all shining.

The targets in the shooting range were as far as two hundred meters away. In Doyle's eyes, he could only vaguely see the outlines of the targets. And for these half-elf guards, being able to hit the target was merely a passing grade.

After passing the shooting range, Doyle quickly gave up the lively thoughts in his mind.

Soon he was taken by the elven guards to the largest tent in the camp. Roy was sitting around a sea chart with several half-elven officers, discussing the situation in the surrounding seas.

In fact, there were several islands in the sea around Kui Island that were also occupied by the gray dwarf bandits. However, Roy was now short of troops and could not take care of the gray dwarf bandits on those islands.

Since it is impossible to use the existing troops to encircle and suppress those gray dwarf bandits, they can only strengthen the defenses on Kui Island.

Currently, the Siren Warriors are tasked with patrolling the surrounding waters, but they will soon leave Kuei Island. Once the portal between Kuei Island and Padstow City is repaired, Jie Zena and this group of Siren Warriors will leave here as soon as possible.

After all, the war in the Sun Island Bay was quite intense. The Sirens were taking a great risk to support Roy in capturing Kui Island at such a critical moment.

Hearing footsteps coming from the entrance of the tent, Roy looked up and saw Doyle being brought in by four half-elf guards. He put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, waved his hand, and asked the other half-elf officers to leave.

"Doyle, I remember you told me that you knew about a treasure. As long as I let the gray dwarf bandits on Que Island go, you would tell me the information about the treasure. Now my promise has been fulfilled, so it's time for you to tell me about the treasure."

Roy stood in front of Doyle. Doyle was only as tall as Roy's chest, but his waist, as thick as a barrel, could accommodate almost four Roies.

"As you said, I have been waiting for your call, dear sir."

"You can call me Boss Roy." Roy motioned Doyle to sit down at the table and handed him a cup of lemon tea.

Doyle blinked his black bean-like eyes and smiled humbly at Roy. Even the wrinkles on his face were full of hypocrisy...

"Boss Roy, have you ever heard of the name Captain Johnny Ralph of the Sea Wolf?"

Roy asked, frowning.

Doyle placed his big hand on the nautical chart on the table and said:
"He was once the most famous pirate in this area. He is different from us. We are outsiders who moved here from the north in the past ten years, while he is a native pirate in this area. In his most glorious time, he owned dozens of pirate ships in this area. He would not only rob the Naga tribe, but also rob elven merchant ships. In addition, he was also a slave trader. He controlled a very safe route that could transport all kinds of slaves to the Green Empire." "..."

Roy was speechless.

In fact, the Sea Wolf is still parked on the beach on the west side of Castleton Harbor, and has now been renamed the Black Pearl by Roy.

"He has been a pirate here for more than 200 years. During this period, he trafficked a large number of slaves. The huge amount of wealth he obtained is hidden near this sea area. In fact, the fact that we will dig an underground castle on Kui Island is also related to Captain Ralph. In fact, in addition to trying to capture the Queen Eweni Islands in recent years, we have also been looking for Captain Ralph's treasure."

"We even know that his treasure may be hidden in this area, but we just haven't found it yet," Doyle told Roy.

"I heard that Captain Ralph's treasure map was lost in the elven world. You can try to ask around for information about the treasure map. I heard from Elder Augustus that the treasure can support us, the gray dwarves who fled from the north, to open up a new home..."

"Now that I am your prisoner, I will tell you this secret."

The gray dwarf Doyle stopped talking here, holding a teacup in his hand, waiting for Roy to ask more about the dwarf's treasure.

But Roy sat in the chair, lost in thought, and didn't speak for a long time.

When Roy regained consciousness, he waved to the half-elf guard standing beside him and ordered, "Send Doyle back to the prisoner-of-war camp, and give him a bottle of rum as a reward."

After saying that, he stood up, walked out of the tent and looked at the sea in the distance. At this moment, his face seemed to be full of memories.

Doyle happily followed the half-elf guard out of the camp. Before leaving, he took the initiative to say to Roy, "Boss Roy, if you have any news you want to know, please feel free to find me. I will be at your service at any time."

Roy ignored him and just stared at the sea in the distance...

Several half-elves quickly took the gray dwarf Doyle away.

Miss Tiffany and Moira walked back from the beach, talking and laughing. Seeing Roy standing outside the tent in a daze, Miss Tiffany couldn't help asking:

"Roy, what on earth are you thinking about that makes you stand here stupidly?"

Tiffany woke up Roy who was deep in thought. Roy showed a complicated expression on his face and said to Miss Tiffany:

"Tiffany, remember Johnny Ralph?"

"..."

Miss Tiffany stood there in a daze.

……

A space-time rift appeared on the beach of Kuei Island in the afternoon. The moment it appeared, Oppaia walked out of the portal.

The great magician Grams followed behind in a very embarrassed manner, and managed to get out before the space rift disappeared.

He steadied his staggering body, casually looked around, and immediately spotted the iconic active volcano of Kuei Island. He gave Oppaia a thumbs up and praised:
"Your sea chart positioning is pretty good. At least it didn't lead us into the sea. I was ready to fly directly on the magic broomstick just now."

Oppaia looked at the great magician Grams with disdain, twisted her sexy waist and walked a few steps on the beach, then took out the magic broom and rode on it. After flying into the air, a winding coastline soon came into view...

Oppaia not only saw the prisoner-of-war concentration camp, but also the harbor of Kuei Island and the magic airship floating in the sky.

The first ones she chose were the magic airships flying into the sky. The great magician Grams followed closely and flew onto a magic airship with Oppaia.

In fact, he had noticed the prisoner-of-war camps on the seashore while in mid-air. When he arrived on the magic airship, he randomly found a half-elf captain and asked, "Have you all successfully occupied this place?"

"Yes. Your Excellency the Great Magician Grahams!" Captain Rodhart answered respectfully.

"Do you know me?" Great Magician Grams asked, staring at the half-elf captain.

"Boss Roy took you on my ship..."

"No wonder!" Great Magician Grams asked directly: "Where is Roy now?"

"The boss should be in the camp on the island now. You can go to the camp and take a look..."

Rodhart walked to the side of the ship and pointed to the dense forest at the edge of the island.

The great magician Grams called out to Oppaia who was standing on the deck, and then flew to the island of Que on his magic broom.

Oppaia followed Grahams silently, and soon the two great magicians found the half-elf camp hidden at the edge of the woods. Great magician Grahams flew directly into the camp on his magic broom to look for Roy.

……

Oppaia was hovering over the beach of Kuei Island, and she circled over several prisoner-of-war concentration camps. She was a little surprised to see the dense crowds of gray dwarf prisoners sitting obediently on the beach of the concentration camps...

Some half-elf guards spotted Oppaiia flying in the sky, and seeing that she was an elven magician, they did not draw their bows and arrows and aim at her.

Instead, he immediately reported to his superior...

Oppaiya did not stay over the prisoner-of-war concentration camp. She took a walk around the dock. The sea had been calm in recent days and the water was crystal clear. Oppaiya could see at a glance that the seabed near the dock was full of sunken ships.

At this moment she had a completely new understanding of Roy.

The young half-elf guide who led the way on the magic caravan turned out to be such an outstanding elven general...
