Path of Light.

Chapter 776 777. Transfer of Prisoners of War
The captains of the magic airships took a step forward in unison and said one after another:
"Boss, I'm willing to stay..."

Seeing that everyone expressed their willingness to stay on Kui Island, Roy thought about it for a while and finally decided to let magic airships No. 14, No. 27 and No. 28 stay.

These three magic airships will conduct daily patrols in the waters near Kui Island and monitor the movements of the gray dwarf bandits on the surrounding islands.

In addition, Captain Timothy will also stay in Kui Island for the time being. He is responsible for the security and defense of Kui Island.

At present, the island of Kui will not be open to the half-blood elves from the Partington plane.

In the past two days, small groups of gray dwarf bandits have begun to try to investigate the situation on Kui Island.

In fact, Kui Island is quite large. On its 80-kilometer-long coastline, only the southern end has beautiful silver sand beaches and dense forests. When the coastline extends to the east and west sides, due to the influence of the active volcano in the north, the coastline is a black cliff several meters high. This cliff continues to extend northward, and the height of the cliff is getting higher and higher.

The northern slope of Kui Island is directly connected to the volcano, with steep rock walls extending all the way to the clouds. The rough volcanic rocks are covered with traces of lava flowing and solidifying, just like a huge mountain covered with scars.

If the surrounding gray dwarf bandits mobilized their fleet to besiege Kui Island, the more than 6,000 half-elf guards on the island would not be able to defend the island, so Roy transferred another 10,000 half-elf guards from Padstow City.

Even if the half-elf guards on Kui Island increased to 16,000, Captain Timothy still felt that it would not be easy to defend the more than 20 kilometers of coastline in the southern part of the island in the face of the subsequent counterattack by the gray dwarf bandits.

This is also the reason why he is eager to have the Griffin Cavalry come to Kui Island.

Currently, the half-elf guards are mainly gathered near the dock of Kuei Island. For the long coastline of the island, there are actually only more than a thousand secret outposts set up by Dark Moon Elf assassins.

Reconnaissance teams of the Assassin Regiment are lurking all over the island.

Under a banana tree, rotten leaves piled up under the huge leaves.

There are so many vines here that the sunlight cannot penetrate into the woods as it is blocked by dense branches and leaves. Even the wind cannot blow in.

The jungle was wet and hot. The bark of many trees was covered with water droplets, and most of the tree trunks were covered with green moss. If you touched them, you would feel wet and slippery.

The Dark Moon Elf warriors were wearing light leather armor, lurking in the shadows of the dense forest. Although these leather armors had been made light and breathable, in this humid rain forest, after the sweat soaked through the leather armor, the Dark Moon Elves soon became like pickled sour meat, greasy and sweaty all over...

Occasionally, some reptiles would pass through my body, and the feeling was indescribable.

Unfortunately, the secret sentries lurking in the dense forest cannot move at will. Although they have applied some ointment to repel mosquitoes, some blood-sucking leeches will still crawl silently onto the exposed skin.

Moira squatted under a banana leaf from the time the sun came out in the morning until it was about to set. The area she was responsible for monitoring was a forest area less than two hundred meters long. As long as any gray dwarf bandits entered the forest area from the beach, it would be difficult for them to escape Moira's eyes.

Less than a hundred meters away from her, the captain of their reconnaissance team was leaning against a tree.

Don’t think that sitting on a tree will be easy. In fact, lurking in a tree is the most troublesome.

Pulling out the cork and drinking the last bit of water in the kettle, Moira squinted her eyes and continued to hide her body...

In recent days, there are always gray dwarf bandits swimming ashore from the sea and trying to sneak into Kui Island.

The location that Moira was watching was an important passage leading into the dense forest from this coastline.

A Darkmoon Elf reconnaissance team came up from the beach. Moira guessed that they were here to take over, but she was still very cautious and did not reveal her hiding place until the captain jumped down from the tree and communicated with the other captain for a few words. Then she waved to the members in various hiding places and called everyone out.

Moira also crawled out from under the banana leaves. Sweat had soaked her thorn-tailed crystal lion leather armor, and her hair was almost stuck to her forehead.

The captain of the other team obviously recognized Moira's identity at a glance, and his eyes stayed on her for two or three seconds longer.

The captain of the reconnaissance team quickly completed the handover. Their team did not encounter any gray dwarf bandits, but last night a group of gray dwarf bandits tried to pass through here and were blocked by the previous reconnaissance team.

Those gray dwarf bandits fought hard, and finally tried to escape, but in the end they fought to the death...

"Moira, let's go." The captain shouted to Moira.

He had been Moira's captain before, when Roy was still managing the spinel mines on the Pagista Plateau.

"understood."

Moira has a very sweet voice.

The members of the team have become accustomed to her presence in the past few days. Although she has a special aura around her, no one feels that she is any different, and no one gives her any preferential treatment. The atmosphere within the reconnaissance team is very harmonious.

Walk along the edge of the dense forest towards the camp. As long as you don’t stay in the dense forest or stay in the sun, this island is still very comfortable.

The captain stood at the entrance of the camp and said to the team members: "Go back and take a good shower, get some sleep, and gather at the entrance of the camp before dark tomorrow night."

"Yes!"

After the five team members answered, they followed their captain back to their tent.

Moira went to her tent alone. She lived in the same tent with Sabrina. Occasionally, Miss Tiffany would come to join in the fun, but most of the time, Miss Tiffany still preferred to live in the sea.

Moira will have a day of rest next. She needs to take a shower and wash and dry the magic pattern leather armor.

When she arrived in front of the tent, Moira was about to go in to get some toiletries. When she turned around, she found Leia under the big tree opposite. In fact, Leia was hiding at the moment, but Moira saw the vague outline under the tree at a glance and immediately recognized that it was Leia.

Leia always stayed with Roy. When Leia appeared in the camp, Moira knew that Roy had returned.

Moira walked straight to Leah and asked the vague outline:
"Liya, is that you? How long will you stay on Kui Island this time?"

When Leah showed up, the surprise on her face had not yet disappeared: "I guess we'll be leaving for Sun Island Bay soon. Hey, Moira, how did you find me?"

"There is some darkness in you, and I am somewhat sensitive to it..."

Moira said bluntly.

"Will you come with us to Sunny Isles Bay?" Leah asked Moira under the tree.

Moira shook her head and said, "I plan to stay on Kui Island for the time being."

In fact, the two have become very familiar with each other recently because Roy always meets with Moira at night.

Every time Leah was on duty, especially at night, she would always hear some indescribable noises...

Leia looked at Moira carefully. Although her face was delicate and her figure was well-proportioned, her skin color was a little gray.

In the eyes of the elves, who believe that white is beautiful, her appearance is not outstanding.

Everyone knows that she is Boss Roy's childhood sweetheart, but Leah really can't understand why Boss Roy likes her.

Moira could actually feel the hostility emanating from Leia, but she was not the only one who was hostile towards her, so Moira had gotten used to it.

Roy hurried out of the military tent, followed by a group of half-elf officers. Seeing Moira standing under the tree, he walked towards her.

Moira thought about how she had been squatting in the jungle for almost a whole day and night and had almost become a piece of sore meat. She didn't want to leave any bad impression on Roy, so she waved to Roy and quickly ran to the bathroom with the basin of water.

When Roy saw Moira running away like the wind, he stopped, called out to the half-elf officer behind him, and walked towards the dock.

He planned to personally deploy the defense formation near the dock. Since there were a large number of sunken ships around the dock, the fleet of the gray dwarf bandits could not dock when they launched an offensive against Kui Island. They could only swim for a distance in the sea before landing on Kui Island.

Roy estimated that the gray dwarf bandits would attack Kui Island at night because this would effectively avoid detection by the magic airships in the sky.

Once the gray dwarf bandits successfully landed on Kui Island, it would be difficult to defend.

"The gray dwarf bandits on the surrounding islands will never give up Kuei Island. They will attack Kuei Island sooner or later. We must prepare for defense in advance. I hope the gray dwarf bandits will launch the attack as late as possible to give us more time to prepare."

Roy stood on the dock, looking at the sunken ships in the sea around him, and spoke to the half-elf officers. On the beach near the dock, there were several salvaged sunken ships stranded.

"This is the only passage from the Partington plane to the Elf Continent. We must guard this portal well. It is an extraordinary period recently. We may encounter a counterattack from the gray dwarf bandits at any time. You must be more careful."

"Don't think that just because we captured nearly 100,000 Gray Dwarf prisoners, these Gray Dwarf bandits are just a bunch of weaklings. You must always remember one thing: Gray Dwarves are also Dwarves!"

"They are not weak in combat. They must be good at swimming to be pirates. They just had bad luck in the two battles with us."

"We had many allies willing to help us, and you all showed courage in the battle, which enabled us to achieve victory!"

As they were talking, a large number of gray dwarf prisoners were already lining up to enter the clearing in the forest.

Four of the makeshift prisoner-of-war camps on the beach had been cleared.

The gray dwarf prisoners walked silently on the fine sand, and it was obvious that they were all in a heavy mood.

The first four temporary prisoner-of-war camps were almost all filled with strong gray dwarves, while the last four temporary camps were basically filled with female dwarves and children.

They were originally hiding in the underground castle, but now they are all unlucky enough to become prisoners of Boss Roy.

The last two temporary prisoner-of-war camps were almost all filled with older gray dwarves and some injured gray dwarf warriors, so the team seemed rather scattered.

After all the strong gray dwarf prisoners entered the Partington plane, the female dwarves and children were next to pass through the portal.

From within the team came the sounds of crying children, scolding from female dwarves, some sighing and complaining, and even some whispered curses. Although there were always half-elf guards urging and scolding on both sides, their team always moved very slowly.

……

In front of the portal of Kuei Island, the gray dwarf prisoners lined up in four rows and slowly passed through the magic vortex and walked into the Partington plane.

The process was smooth, but the gray dwarves' pace seemed slow.

Although the half-elf guards were somewhat dissatisfied, when all the strong gray dwarves passed through the portal, the remaining female dwarves and children, even though they walked a little slowly, everyone's tolerance increased infinitely.

No half-elf guard would pull out a whip out of impatience.

It took a full day for all 40,000 gray dwarf prisoners to pass through the portal and enter the city of Padstow.

The transfer of prisoners of war went smoothly, mainly due to the portal on Kui Island.

When all the gray dwarf prisoners entered the city of Padstow, Roy also returned to Padstow with the great magician Grams.

……

The wooded avenues of Padstow were crowded with half-blood elves...

Judging from the appearance, there were nearly 100,000 half-elves gathered in the whole long street. They all ran out to watch the fun and wanted to see what kind of ugly faces the gray dwarf prisoners would make.

In recent years, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has always been fighting against the gray dwarf bandits in the Queen Ewenni Islands.

The fleet of the gray dwarf bandits harassed the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion so much that it once abandoned the outer islands of the Queen Eweni Islands.

The gray dwarf bandits even launched an attack on Queen's Island...

In the eyes of the Silver Moon Elf warriors of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, the Gray Dwarves are evil, cruel and bloodthirsty, almost the embodiment of the demons of hell.

However, Boss Roy led the mine guards to battle three times and achieved amazing results each time, which made the half-blood elves in Padstow City feel that these gray dwarf bandits were just paper tigers.

So when these gray dwarf prisoners passed through the long street and headed for the temporary camp on the outskirts of the city, the half-elves all wanted to run out and see with their own eyes what was going on.

The gray dwarf prisoners were wearing simple linen robes, unarmed, and walking dejectedly in a line in the middle of the forest road. They were generally not tall, and the tallest gray dwarf was only as tall as the elves' chests.

Although they are short in stature, their limbs are extremely strong, their muscles are bulging, and their steps are very steady when they walk.

Most of the dwarves have small eyes and big noses. They look a little fierce, and the beards on their faces almost cover their original appearance.

"They are dwarves?"

A group of young half-elves were talking about this on the street. It was the first time for everyone to see a gray dwarf and they were all very curious.

A knowledgeable half-blood elf immediately corrected:
"They are gray dwarves. You can tell them by their skin color. Their skin is dark, just like limestone. Look at how fierce their eyes are. Dwarves like peace, but gray dwarves are different. They like to plunder other people's wealth."

He not only introduced the characteristics of the gray dwarves to these young half-elves, but also constantly reminded them:

"You little guys, stand back a little. They are a bunch of ruthless robbers. They might suddenly attack you and punch you, knocking you to the ground and making you unable to get up."

The gray dwarf prisoner who passed by rolled his eyes and glared at the half-elf with disdain.

"Look at you! You're already a prisoner, but you still dare to glare at me so arrogantly. This shows how you don't take us seriously!"

The knowledgeable half-blood elf immediately shouted exaggeratedly.

Leah stood among the crowd of half-elves on the street. She found that when there were many people around, she didn't need to hide in the shadows. As long as she blended into the crowd, she could conceal her identity well.

Because she had a strong sense of danger, she had always been by Roy's side as a close warning provider.

Leah had seen enough of the excitement and planned to find a secluded place to rest for a while. She just walked around a tree and planned to sit on the steps of the store to rest for a while.

Then a half-elf guard squeezed through the crowd and rebuked Leah who was sitting on the steps:
"Leah, why are you violating discipline again and running here to slack off?"

Leah is not afraid of this Dark Moon Elf Captain at all...

"Captain, actually I found that even if I blend into the crowd like this, no elf will notice me. I am the same as them. I think this is a better disguise, isn't it?" Leah whispered.

The Dark Moon Elf Captain looked helplessly at Leah who was crowded in the elf group, and said casually: "You can always find some excuses for yourself, Leah, anyway, you'd better not forget your responsibilities."

"Know it!"

He raised his hand and waved, sending the captain away.

Looking at the dark air evaporating from her palm, Leia sighed softly. Life in the Partington plane is very good. There will never be any crisis or anxiety in life.

However, the dark energy in his body was slowly dissipating, and it wouldn't be long before she would officially enter the weak stage...

Roy was standing on the street across the street with Raysander and others, inspecting the situation in Padstow.

A large number of gray dwarf bandits have flooded into the Partington plane, causing the emotions of the half-blood elves in the city to reach an unprecedented high...

Everyone found that what Boss Roy had said at the beginning seemed to be coming true little by little, and the city of Padstow was slowly getting better. More importantly, those extremely annoying Silver Moon Elf merchants disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Prices in the city have remained very stable.

There was no case of anyone taking advantage of the temporary interruption of the portal to raise prices.

Kuei Island is only separated from Padstow City by a gate, so Roy hopes that Lesander will always pay attention to the situation on Kuei Island. Once any special situation occurs on Kuei Island, Padstow City can send troops to Kuei Island at any time.

Leishande wiped his red eyes. He had only slept for two hours in the past two days.

There are many things to do because we have to organize the half-elf guards to enter Kui Island and set up a temporary concentration camp in the suburbs!
