Path of Light.

Chapter 789 790. Queen Island

When three airships loaded with magic herbs sailed out of the portal, the half-blood elves guarding the central square cheered loudly.

Although Boss Roy is purchasing all magic herbs produced without restriction, the news of a large backlog of magic herbs in the city of Padstow still makes the half-elf collectors very worried.

Everyone is worried that once the magic herb storage is saturated or the quantity reaches a certain limit, Boss Roy will no longer continue to purchase magic herbs.

Everyone knows that if the magic herbs collected cannot be digested, these newly collected magic herbs will become meaningless...

This time, Boss Roy returned to the Elf Continent with the magic airship, giving the half-blood elves in Padstow City a glimmer of hope again.

Yes, in recent times, every time there have been some bad rumors about Padstow City, it is Boss Roy who stands up and uses actions to tell everyone that the bad news can be resolved.

After the magic airship quickly slid into the space crack along the guide channel of the portal, Boss Roy's figure disappeared.

Afterwards, the portal in the central square returned to calm.

The half-blood elves gathered around the central square dispersed...

……

Three magic airships passed through the portal and arrived at Kui Island. The magic herbs loaded on these three magic airships were only one thirtieth of the current reserves in Padstow City.

The reason why only three magic airships were used to load the magic herbs was not because there were no extra magic airships at the Padstow Airport Terminal, but because Roy was worried that once the magic airships entered the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, they would be driven away by the Silver Pegasus Knights.

As for the three magic airships, as long as they sail honestly in the sea, they will not attract the attention of the Silver Pegasus Knights.

As soon as Roy stepped off the magic airship from the dock, he saw Captain Timothy, who was stationed on Kui Island, waiting on the dock with a group of half-elf guards.

The current Kuei Island is very different from before. During this period, more than 10,000 half-elf guards have been transferred from the Partington plane, which has directly increased the number of Kuei Island defenders to 20,000.

In addition, a group of highland headhunter prisoners of war built a seawall defense line on the southern coastline of Kui Island.

These highland headhunter prisoners have lived on the Pagisto Plateau all year round, so basically they cannot swim. Perhaps for this reason, they became very honest on Kui Island, and they actually worked very hard when they were asked to build a seawall on the beach.

In fact, it would be a bit difficult to defend this island of Kui with only 20,000 half-elves guarding it.

There were a large number of gray dwarf bandits entrenched on the surrounding islands. After several reconnaissances by the griffin cavalry and the magic airship, Roy obtained an approximate number of gray dwarf bandits on the nearby islands. There were at least 200,000 gray dwarf bandits on more than 30 surrounding islands of various sizes.

On some large islands, the number of gray dwarf bandits may reach tens of thousands.

On some small islands, the number of gray dwarf bandits is less than a thousand.

Recently, these gray dwarf bandits have been investigating the situation on Kui Island. The magic airships and griffin cavalry have completely blocked the waters around Kui Island. The gray dwarf bandits are not very clear about the information inside Kui Island.

"We are ready to attack other islands. This is the battle plan I have made recently. If it is feasible, we will start to capture the surrounding islands tomorrow..."

Captain Timothy said to Roy.

He was holding a thick parchment booklet in his hand. Roy took it and opened it to find that it was a very detailed battle plan. The battle book not only contained a tidal timetable, but also an analysis of the internal terrain of the island, an analysis of the ocean currents, the specific number of gray dwarf bandits on the island, the size of the fleet, and the approximate time for the support of the surrounding gray dwarf bandits, etc.

Roy was a little surprised that Timothy, as the leader of an assassination group, actually made such a battle plan.

It can be said that he was very attentive...

Several ships that had been silent near the island's pier have been salvaged one after another. These ships were stranded on the beach next to the pier and looked very damaged.

"Have you had any contact with the gray dwarf bandits on these surrounding islands recently?"

"There are some frictions almost every day, but we have air superiority, so as long as we find the ships of the gray dwarf robbers, we will send out magic airships to drive them away..."

Timothy responded.

Roy was still very confident in Captain Timothy.

He is a thoughtful dark moon elf. Before carrying out certain actions, he will do a lot of preparation and investigation...

This is different from Captain Tennyson. Captain Tennyson is more bloodthirsty and has a stronger desire to attack. He will use the most fierce means to resolve all the enemy's means.

Great Magician Grames walked down from the boat, and Roy arranged him to the camp near the portal, where there were many empty tents.

Grahams didn't like sleeping on the boat. Even when docked at the dock, these magic airships would still shake slightly.

……

Roy first saw Sabrina on the beach, who was about to go on patrol. She was combing the feathers of a griffin, and the snow-white griffin was very active in front of her.

She saw Roy coming out from the port dock and just nodded to him. Then she asked a group of half-elf cavalrymen under her to prepare for flight. She turned over and climbed onto the back of the snow-white griffin, sitting steadily on the saddle.

Facing the sea breeze, she quickly gathered her long golden hair and put on her helmet.

A group of griffins took off from the beach, flapping their wings quickly and soaring into the sky...

Strong winds blew away a layer of dry sand on the beach, and the griffins successfully took off at this moment.

Currently, there are nearly 800 griffin cavalry stationed on the island of Kui. They are the backbone of the force against the gray dwarf pirates, because with the support of magic airships, they can attack some gray dwarf bandit sea forces without restrictions.

The silver armor glitters in the sun...

……

Every other day, Moira also has to carry out missions on Kui Island with the reconnaissance team.

The reconnaissance teams of these assassin regiments are mainly responsible for blocking all places on the island where the gray dwarf bandits may land, preventing the gray dwarf bandits from finding out the number of half-elf troops on Que Island.

Today happened to be her time to rest, and she did not stay in the camp with the other Dark Moon Elf warriors of the Assassin Regiment.

Instead, they lived in the woods near the pier, with a coconut tree hanging over the wooden roof.

When building the cabin, Roy joked that if a coconut fell from the tree, it would make a big hole in the roof...

After Roy returned to Kui Island, he did not rush to deal with the things here, but went straight back to the cabin.

Moira was taking a nap on a rattan chair under the shade of a tree. She liked to curl up on her side when she slept, which made her feel more secure. There was a dark figure lying next to her. She didn't expect that the big cat was actually on Kui Island.

Roy thought it was wandering around in the jungle on the north coast of Sun Island Bay, but it actually came to Kui Island.

Roy was walking on the beach. Just as he approached Moira, the big cat shook its whiskers gently. It didn't even lift its eyelids and continued to sleep under the shade of the tree.

Moira wore gauzy bloomers and a long-sleeved blouse with a cool linen bodice underneath.

Just as Roy climbed the first step outside the cabin, Moira suddenly woke up. She looked at Roy in a daze. When Roy's figure appeared in her eyes, her big dark eyes opened wider. "Roy, you're back?"

She was like a lithe little deer, and she jumped into Roy's arms in an instant.

Moira, with her squinting eyes, looked like a cat. Roy pressed his lips against her forehead and sat with her on the rattan chair under the tree.

The big black cat then raised its head, stuck out its tongue, licked Roy's ankles twice, and then curled up to sleep.

"I hurried back after I finished dealing with things in Sun Island Bay. There are too many magical herbs stockpiled in Padstow City. I plan to go to Castleton Port to contact the imperial merchants there." Roy hugged the soft Moira and whispered to her.

The two of them lay on a rattan chair, which happened to be in the shade of a tree, so they could enjoy the sea breeze without being too hot...

"Will you come to Castletown with me? We may not return to Castletown frequently in the future..."

"The route hasn't been officially opened yet. Sabrina and I have discussed this. We don't want to become an exception among these half-elves because of you." Moira squinted her eyes, resting her head on Roy's arm, and responded in a low voice.

"No one will say anything," Roy assured Moira.

“That’s why we have to be more careful!”

"I'm going to close the alchemy workshop this time. If possible, I'll bring the Black Pearl back..."

"Please help Sabrina and I go visit Jillian, okay?" Moira begged softly.

Roy readily agreed:
"Of course, I'll go."

……

On an island about eighty nautical miles away from Kui Island, there lives nearly fifty thousand gray dwarf bandits.

It is the largest island among the nearby islands and has the largest number of gray dwarves.

There are a lot of gray dwarf bandits active in this area.

However, in the past two weeks, the gray dwarf bandits here have just suffered an aerial attack from the magic airships of the half-blood elves...

At this moment, the gray dwarf bandits no longer dared to park their three-masted sailing ships at the dock. These three-masted sailing ships were parked in a cave on the island, which was connected to the sea outside by a waterway, and the three-masted sailing ships could just barely pass through.

In the past, whenever a pirate group of gray dwarves encountered an elven fleet at sea, they almost always had the upper hand.

Now these three-masted sailing ships can't withstand the high-altitude projections of the whaling crossbows on the magic airships.

The leader of the gray dwarf bandits hiding in the cave looked at the only thirty-one three-masted sailing ships in the cave, feeling a little bitter. He threw the wooden wine glass in his hand to the ground and said, "It's all these damn bastards."

"Have you found out where these half-blood elves came from?"

The surrounding group of gray dwarf island leaders were completely silent...

The gray dwarf bandit leader couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

They knew clearly that the other side was fighting for money, and a giant crossbow arrow was worth about two magic crystals. Not only did these magic airships use levitation devices to hover at low altitudes, but they also consumed magic crystals to keep the magic airships propelled in the air.

When a three-masted sailing ship encounters the gray dwarf bandits, it will immediately shoot out giant magic crossbow arrows.

Half-elf crews will choose magic explosive arrows.

As long as these magic explosive arrows fly onto the three-masted sailing ships on the sea, they will immediately explode into inextinguishable magic flames...

Two or three arrows exploded in succession, and the three-masted sailing ship was about to burn in the sea...

The gray dwarf bandits were helpless in this regard. They even thought of asking for help from the north, hoping that the headquarters could send a few magic airships.

Even if the magic airship could fly over, they would still have to worry about the griffin cavalry...

Once the griffin cavalry crashes the magic airship, the last trump card of the gray dwarf bandits will be destroyed...

For the gray dwarf bandits, the cost of the magic airship is too high, and they simply cannot afford the loss...

……

When the three magic airships passed over an island, they simply destroyed a dilapidated three-masted sailing ship in the nearby waters, and then quickly climbed into the sky according to Roy's orders.

"Why did you stop? Aren't you going to land on the island and fight?"

Grimes stood on the deck and asked loudly to Roy who was standing beside the ship.

Roy waved his hand directly and responded:

"This time I only plan to destroy their three-masted sailing ships. Once these gray dwarf bandits lose their three-masted sailing ships, they will be trapped on these islands, and Quei Island will become very safe."

Roy's idea was to destroy as many gray dwarf pirate ships as possible on his way to Queen Ewenni Islands.

He has no intention of occupying the island...

"With these gray dwarf bandits here, the Naga sea tribe will not attack us." Roy walked up to the roof and continued to explain to Grahams.

"As long as the gray dwarf bandits don't attack Kuei Island, the Naga Sea Clan won't dare to easily intervene in this mess, and I just need time to manage Kuei Island..."

He reached out and knocked on the glass window of the captain's room, and shouted to Captain Rodhart in the captain's room:
"Let's go, our next stop is Queen Eweni Islands."

……

Three magic airships flew to the edge of the waters of the Queen Evenny Islands and landed in the sea.

The three magic airships turned into three-masted sailing ships with their sails hoisted. After sailing on the sea for a whole day with the help of the wind, they successfully drove the magic airships into the newly built dock on Queen's Island.

It's still the same here. Except for the newly built pier, the whole island looks particularly old because of the war.

At the dock, Roy handed a letter to the Silvermoon Elf Guards, asking them to personally deliver it to Earl Swinburne...

Roy then waited on the dock.

After the war, Queen's Island underwent a large-scale renovation, and the pier and dock were restored to their original appearance.

The Silver Moon Elf guard who went to the military headquarters to report the situation quickly returned, saluted Roy, and then said:

"The Earl invites you..."
