Path of Light.

Chapter 775 776. Arrangement
There are only three magic airships moored at the airport terminal, which is currently out of service. The half-elves who were originally waiting for work near the airport terminal have also dispersed, and the airport terminal has now become very deserted.

The yard was filled with metal ingots brought from the Pagisto Plateau, neatly packed in wooden crates and stacked in neat stacks at the skyport dock.

Roy arrived at the airport terminal and saw a row of horse-drawn carriages transporting fruits to the terminal. Some young half-elves were sitting on the carriages. When the carriages stopped at the courtyard of the airport terminal, they jumped off the carriages and took the boxes full of apples off the carriages and placed them in the material transfer area.

Those young half-blood elves were very efficient. They chatted and laughed while unloading a cart of apples. In one go, they moved all the apple boxes from the carriages. Then the carriages left one by one, but the young half-blood elves stayed at the airport terminal.

Roy walked down the spiral staircase from the airport platform and came to the boxes. The boxes were covered with some alfalfa. Roy pulled aside the alfalfa to reveal the red apples inside. It can be seen that the quality of these apples is very good.

Arriving at the airport terminal's management office, a half-blood female elf was reading a book intently. She felt a shadow swaying at the window, and when she looked up, she saw Roy staring at her through the window...

The half-blood female elf was shocked. Of course she knew Boss Roy.

He quickly put the book on the table, stood up nervously, and pushed open the window of the management office completely.

Roy didn't give her a chance to speak and asked her directly:
"Do you know who I am?"

"I know...I know, you are Boss Roy!"

The mixed-blood female elf's heartbeat quickened and her pretty face instantly turned red.

Roy nodded:
"From now on, all transportation tasks at the airport terminal are suspended. All magic airships that arrive at the port cannot leave empty-handed. I need these magic airships to transport the gray dwarf prisoners of war. Please pass on what I said. The first batch of gray dwarf slaves will arrive in Padstow City in the early hours of this evening."

"Okay...Okay, Boss Roy!" the mixed-race female elf quickly agreed.

Roy said, "Please repeat what I just said..."

The half-blood female elf repeated Roy's words word for word, and Roy nodded and said:
"That's right, go and do it!"

The half-blooded female elf quickly pushed open the door of the management office and ran towards the airport terminal without looking back...

……

Grimes did not go with Roy to the airport terminal yard to check on supplies, nor did he go to the management office.

His eyes were drawn to a group of young half-blood elves resting in a corner, and he walked over slowly...

When the group of young half-elves saw a magician approaching them, they all stood up and saluted the magician.

Great Magician Grams took charge of the wooden box with one hand, avoiding the clover covering it, took out a bright red apple from it, and asked these young half-blood elves:

"Which orchard are you from? Are the apples in these boxes all of this good quality?"

One of the half-blood elves who looked very sturdy walked out of the crowd and answered:
"We are from the Western Suburbs Orchard. These apples are of course very good. The apples that can be shipped out of the orchard now are basically of this quality. The inferior apples are basically used to make wine in the orchard."

The great wizard Grams had never drunk cider before, so he asked curiously, "Is cider selling well? How does it taste?"

"It tastes a little sour. You may not know how popular these ciders are on the Pagisto Plateau. Many dwarves there like to drink some cider before going to bed. Hehe."

Speaking of this, the young elf smiled brightly.

Grimes found the conversation of these young half-blood elves very interesting, so he continued to ask:
"Did you all move here from the Elf Continent?"

"Well, we have moved here for more than a year." A group of young half-elves nodded repeatedly.

Great Magician Grams continued to ask: "Are you disappointed to come here? Do you want to go back to your hometown in the Elf Continent?"

"No, life here is much easier than in Minascu City. Even if I miss home a little, it's because I miss my relatives in Minascu City. They didn't come with us at that time. Now looking back, it's a pity. Life here is easy. You can live well by finding a job. Even if you don't work, you won't starve to death. You just need to build a wooden house on a hillside full of fruit trees in the suburbs, and you will have endless apples to eat." A young half-elf rushed to answer.

Then another half-blood elf continued:

"We used to be in Minasku City, where all the apple trees belonged to the Silver Moon Elf nobles. We worked from morning till night, but all we got in return was a basket of rotten apples. It's different here. The entire mountain range outside the city is covered with apple trees. These orchards currently belong to the Padstow City Fruit Farmers' Union. All orchards are managed by the union. Not only can we eat as much apples as we want, but we can also get paid for working in the orchards."

"Usually we pick the good-looking apples, and we wait for the small ones, the green ones that haven't been exposed to the sun, and the rotten ones that have been eaten by insects to fall from the trees, and then we collect them together to make wine."

When the young elves get together, they can easily become noisy and the atmosphere suddenly becomes cheerful.

"Aren't you going to be gatherers?"

A group of half-blood elves shook their heads:

"We also want to be herb gatherers, but it's still quite dangerous to be one, especially now. If you don't go deep into the Blackwater Swamp, you can hardly find any high-level magical herbs. But there are a lot of poisonous horned black anacondas there, so it's still very dangerous for inexperienced herb gatherers to go there."

Great Magician Grems looked at these carefree young half-blood elves and asked:
"So what do you want to do? You don't want to spend your whole life picking apples in an orchard!"

Everyone started talking at once, but the burly half-blood elf spoke most clearly:

"This kind of life is pretty good. As for wishes, I do have them. When I save enough money, I will buy a boat ticket to the Plateau City and travel there. I will come back when the money is gone. Every elf likes to travel. In fact, the Partington plane is also quite large. When the Sun Island Bay is open in the future, I also want to go to the Sun Island Bay for vacation!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I have also saved money. Soon I will have enough to buy a round-trip ticket. I heard that you can see snow-capped mountains in the plateau city..."

The other half-blood elves also echoed.

Great Magician Grams smiled and waved goodbye to the group of young half-blood elves. These half-blood elves stood up very politely...

……

Grahams sat in the carriage and waited for a short while before Roy trotted from the yard of the airport terminal and got into the carriage.

The coachman followed Roy's instructions, whipped his horse, and drove towards the central square...

Roy leaned back on the sofa feeling somewhat exhausted, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

"Are you done with things here?"

Great Magician Grams asked Roy. "Yes."

Roy nodded slightly, then reached out and pinched the corner of his eye.

"I know that you have been managing the mines on the Partington Plateau for the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. I didn't expect that you have done so many things in the Partington plane and managed it so well."

Great Magician Grams looked out the window and praised sincerely.

Roy explained:
"In fact, the manager of Padstow City has always been someone else. He officially withdrew from the Partington plane a few days ago. I have never been the manager here!"

"At first, the area I was responsible for was only the town of Fortress. Later, the Padstow Plateau was added. Later, they inexplicably occupied the Sun Island Bay. The area occupied by the half-blood elves on the Partington plane continued to expand, but the city of Padstow has never been under my jurisdiction."

"After the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion evacuated from the Partington Plane, they gave their military headquarters to me."

"In fact, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion suffered the greatest loss in this incident. They were forced to abandon the Partington Plane. Originally, half of the output of the mines on the Pagisto Plateau belonged to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. Now that they have given up this part of the income, the loss is still quite large."

"I guess they didn't expect that you would rebuild the portal on Kui Island." Great Magician Grams hit the point with a casual remark.

If the Partington plane is really isolated, the magical metals produced by the Pagisto Plateau will have to remain in the Partington plane.

The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion couldn't get it even if they wanted it...

But now the Partington plane can actually establish a connection with the Elf Continent, and the output of these mines on the plateau will be a considerable amount of wealth.

What's more important is that all the Silver Moon Elf merchants in the Partington plane have left. Now the only and largest magic herb trading company is Roy's, and he now monopolizes the magic herb business in the Partington plane.

When talking about the magic herb business, Roy patted his forehead. He suddenly remembered that he had an unfinished business deal with the imperial businessman Darwi.

He has not yet received the third batch of floating devices, and now there are still ten three-masted sailing ships parked in the safe harbor of Partington Island.

He also needed to find time to complete the transaction and sell the magic herbs he had stockpiled in recent days. When he thought of the magic herbs stored in the warehouse in Padstow, Roy suddenly became a little worried. Could the businessman Darwin eat so many magic herbs?

Roy's carriage stopped at the central square. Normal order had been restored in the square. Under the arrangement of the gate guards, two columns of gray dwarf prisoners were passing through the gate and arriving at the central square.

Roy made a rough count and found that there were already about 5,000 gray dwarf prisoners in the central square.

Adjutant Walker was also at the central square. When he saw Roy push open the door of the carriage and walk down, he ran over here quickly, holding a sheepskin account book, and reported to Roy:

"Boss, all the gray dwarf prisoners of the first prisoner-of-war camp on Kuei Island have passed through the portal and arrived in Padstow City. Please give us your instructions!"

"Arrange for them to go to a temporary resettlement site in the suburbs as soon as possible. Go to the airport terminal later to apply for a magic airship. I have just informed the airport terminal management office..."

Roy walked towards the central square.

On the other side of the portal, a large number of half-elf warriors from the Security Guard were gathering quickly.

This group of half-elf warriors were the reinforcements that Roy requested from Leishand. They would be transferred to Kuei Island collectively in the early morning. By then, the number of half-elf guards on Kuei Island would increase to 15,000.

At the same time, one hundred human priests will stay on Kui Island to assist these half-blood elves in guarding Kui Island...

The remaining human priests and all Dark Moon Elf warriors will return to the Partington plane in batches.

Once these 40,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war arrive at the Plateau City, the pressure on Mulin will increase again, and the number of prisoners of war in the Plateau City will increase to an unprecedented 100,000.

Currently, there are only 300,000 elves living in the Plateau City...

This plateau city, originally designed to house only 100,000 half-elves, was crammed with nearly 400,000 people. Not only was Mulin giving it a headache, but Roy was also thinking hard about how to reduce the potential crisis of the plateau city.

Roy returned to Kui Island in the early morning with the elf guards of the Security Guard Corps.

When Roy returned to Kuei Island, it was daytime. A large number of gray dwarf prisoners were waiting in the open space in the woods near the portal. Everyone sat under the shade of the trees, watching the half-elf guards enter Kuei Island one after another.

Miss Tiffany found Roy and reported to him:
"Just now, a patrol team discovered a three-masted sailing ship of gray dwarf bandits in the waters around Kuei Island. They only circled half a circle around Kuei Island. When they were circling the northern part of the volcano, the three-masted sailing ship accelerated away from Kuei Island."

Roy nodded and said:

"They shouldn't dare to approach Kuei Island. If they do, we'll bombard them with catapults and artillery. Tiffany, do you want to go back to Sun Island Bay with me?"

Tiffany thought about it and said, "I'd better stay."

Arriving at the mine guard camp, Roy walked into the tent and saw Captain Timothy looking at the map of Kui Island.

Roy said to Captain Timothy:
"Captain Timothy, I will leave three magic airships to you. The remaining ten magic airships will follow me back to Padstow. I need the magic airships to transport these gray dwarf prisoners to the Plateau City as soon as possible."

Captain Timothy rubbed his brows in distress and asked Roy:
"...When will the Griffin Cavalry Regiment arrive?"

"Within a week, a group of griffin cavalry will arrive at Kui Island."

Roy said.

Captain Timothy drew a line on the southern beach of the island on the map of Kuei Island, and then said to Roy:

"I will build a defense line here. Let's get the griffin cavalry here as soon as possible before the gray dwarves react. By then, as long as we have air superiority, the gray dwarves will not dare to attack the island easily!"

"I'll have the Griffin Cavalry come here as soon as possible." Roy responded.

Outside the tent, eleven captains of magic airships stood at the door and leaned over to say to Roy inside:

"Boss, are you looking for us?"

Roy turned around, waved and motioned for them to come in, and said to the captains of the magic airships, "Now I need three magic airships to stay on Kui Island to assist Captain Timothy in defending this place. Who among you wants to stay?"
