Path of Light.

Chapter 806 807. Slave Ship

Ever since the island of Que was occupied by a group of half-elves, this island has become extremely mysterious in the eyes of the gray dwarf bandits.

The gray dwarf bandits kept sending gray dwarf scouts to the island, but unfortunately only a few of them were able to return safely.

Even those gray dwarf scouts who returned safely were unable to sneak into the core area where the half-elves were.

They had no idea how many half-elves there were on the island. They could only see nearly 10,000 natives wearing baggy pants, standing on the beach and chiseling stones. They built a wall foundation out of those sea rocks and then tied them tightly with wire.

In recent days, the gray dwarf bandits on the surrounding islands have been suffering from aerial attacks by magic airships and griffin cavalry in the sky.

The gray dwarf bandits on the nearby islands didn't even dare to go out to sea during the day.

Now the gray dwarf bandits finally discovered that ten magic airships docked at the dock of Kuei Island were dispatched at once, and a large number of half-elf guards on the island were on board. It seemed that there was some large-scale operation.

The gray dwarf bandits on the surrounding islands, who had been secretly paying attention to the movements of the half-elves on Que Island, finally felt that this might be a great opportunity.

Some gray dwarf bandits are ready to make a move again. They are constantly thinking about how to take back Kuei Island...

……

Roy organized an army to head to the Lost Sea.

This time, ten magic airships, six thousand half-elves, four thousand sirens and one thousand human priests were dispatched.

He was determined to get the dwarven treasure hidden in the Lost Sea this time, so he made such a big fuss...

The surrounding gray dwarf bandits have always been keeping an eye on Kuei Island. When they discovered that a large number of elven troops had left Kuei Island, they wanted to investigate the truth about Kuei Island.

Their ships dared not go out to sea during the day and only went out at night.

These ships dared not go too far at night, fearing that they would not be able to return safely before dawn, so they could only wander around the islands...

Now these islands all sent out small boats to approach Kui Island under the cover of night.

Under the cover of night, the gray dwarf bandits climbed the stone foundation of the sea embankment.

Although the highland headhunters sleeping nearby heard the subtle footsteps, they did not make any noise because they did not want to scare away the gray dwarf bandits.

The best outcome for this group of gray dwarf bandits would be if they were captured by the half-elves on the island. By then, more prisoners of war would be sent out to work, and their work would become easier.

The headhunters of the plateau had this in mind, so they did not react to the gray dwarf bandits who sneaked into the island...

But in a jungle a hundred meters away from the sea, Moira was still lurking in the old place, and her teacher, Captain Tennyson, was also lying on a tree.

This time, Captain Tennyson also followed Roy to Kui Island.

During this period, he will be mainly responsible for the overall defense of Kui Island, while Captain Timothy will be responsible for the progress of various engineering projects on Kui Island.

"So many people have died, how could a gray dwarf sneak in?"

Moira couldn't help but mutter in the dark that she would never dare to do this without Captain Tennyson.

Captain Tennyson silently jumped down from the tree, hid beside Moira, and whispered to her:
"Kui Island is in a very special location. From this location, the three-masted sailing ships on Kui Island can almost reach any of the surrounding islands. This makes the gray dwarf bandits on all the surrounding islands sleepless and restless all the time. We have occupied this island, and they want to explore the island's strengths and find out our strengths."

"According to the detailed investigation conducted by the Griffin Cavalry yesterday, there are nearly 300,000 gray dwarves stationed on the forty or so islands nearby. However, these gray dwarves are not very harmonious. They are divided into several large groups and are suspicious of each other. At present, they are still unwilling to unite."

"But... under the current circumstances, some small groups of gray dwarf bandits have begun to reunite."

"They gradually began to realize that only by uniting together can they fight against us."

Moira asked Captain Tennyson:
"Then why don't we drive them away completely?"

"I have discussed this with the boss. His intention is to use the gray dwarf bandits to contain the Naga tribe in the Endless Sea. We drove the gray dwarves away, and now we are facing the Naga tribe who are hundreds of times stronger than the gray dwarves." Captain Tennyson looked at Moira in confusion and asked her, "Didn't the boss tell you about this?"

Moira grinned and said, "I did say something, but I don't quite understand it. So why don't we negotiate with the gray dwarves?"

"That's what Boss Roy meant. He believes that many of the gray dwarf bandits in this sea area are slave traders. We recently sent out an investigation team to investigate the gray dwarf bandits on the nearby islands. Once we find out which gray dwarf bandits are slave traders, he plans to personally bring the half-elf guards to the islands to clean them out..."

When talking about this, Captain Tennyson, who was full of murderous aura, shuddered.

"Is he going to deal with those gray dwarf bandits who trade slaves?" Moira took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

"That's pretty much it!"

Moira said nothing.

Because several gray dwarf bandits have already entered the dense forest and are about to start arresting people.

If she wanted to speak again at this time, Captain Tennyson would scold her...

……

Sabrina's Griffin Cavalry Battalion also set off with the fleet.

The island's most elite 5,000 half-elf guards have all left the island by boat.

There is a spacious square around the portal.

In the woods surrounding the square, half-elves built tree houses.

Currently, the remaining half-elf guards on the island are basically some new troops, and there is also a large group of Dark Moon Elf warriors, who are mainly responsible for the defense of the island.

The seawall on the south coast of Kui Island has begun to take shape. Under the night sky, the sea water beats against the foundation stone, and countless waves break into foam on the foundation stone.

Recently, the highland headhunters on Kui Island have been making cages out of black wire mesh and stuffing stones into the cages.

When building a seawall, giant iron cages are filled with stones so that they will not be washed away by the waves...

The only trouble is that once the barbed wire rusts, the levee will soon collapse.

To this end, the dwarven craftsmen at the forging workshop came up with a very extravagant method, which was to mix some special metals into the iron wire during the smelting process, such as the magic black iron that was more precious than gold. Once the magic black iron was mixed in, these black steel wires would not rust even if they were soaked in the seabed...

The half-blood elves in the small town on the island also began to weave large iron cages on the beach. They could earn 100 work points by weaving a cage that was five meters long, two meters wide and two meters high. The half-blood elves worked in groups of four. The iron cages were too large to be moved, so they were almost all woven on the stone foundation of the seawall, and then sea rocks were added inside.

In this way, even if the shape of the sea reef is strange, it can still be used.

The eight imperial merchant ships that came to Kui Island last time brought a large number of daily necessities. In addition to daily necessities, there were also some sculptures, paintings, etc.

Elves yearn for a comfortable life, and so do half-elves.

They built brand new tree houses around the square and installed some beautiful glass windows on them, and the inside of the tree houses also needed some decoration.

No one expected that the imperial-style sculptures and paintings left behind by the imperial merchant ships would be sought after by the half-blood elves on the island.

People want to buy these artworks, so they have to earn some work points...

So these half-elves began to take the initiative to find things to do on the island, and weaving cages on the seawall became the most profitable job.

In addition, when the half-blood elves on Kuei Island no longer have more demands for food and shelter, they hope that Kuei Island can become safer.

Although everyone knows that the gray dwarf bandits dare not attack Kui Island easily, everyone feels that it is necessary to build this seawall. Once the seawall is built, it will not only prevent the gray dwarf bandits from landing on the island, but also prevent the Naga sea tribe from occupying Kui Island.

Therefore, the half-blood elves on the island are currently actively building the southern seawall...

A group of half-blood elves were weaving iron cages on the seawall and chatting away:
"We live well here now. We can get the most basic respect. We can have enough to eat even if we do nothing. I came out to make money just to decorate my home. I hope more half-blood elves will know about this place and have the opportunity to come here."

A half-elf dodged sideways to allow a highland headhunter carrying a black reef to pass.

These highland headhunters walk barefoot on the stone foundations, carrying large rocks and still walking briskly...

"Those Silver Moon elves looked down on us in the past, but now they can't leave us. They won't let our compatriots leave easily!"

"That's right. After we left, no one even cleaned up the garbage in the city..."

……

The Lost Sea is about a few hundred nautical miles away from Kui Island.

This time the magic airship did not rise into the wind layer but flew directly over because the Siren troops could not keep up.

Therefore, these magic airships all raised their sails and sailed from the sea towards the Sea of ​​Lost.

When the magic airship was halfway through its journey, the griffin cavalry flying in the sky discovered a fleet of gray dwarf bandits.

This fleet consisted of four three-masted sailing ships. They braved the wind and waves on the sea and headed in the same direction as Roy's fleet...

Benli's four three-masted sailing ships were getting closer and closer to Roy's fleet, but when they saw these magic airships leaving the sea one after another and slowly floating in the low sky, they knew that they had provoked a fleet that they should not have provoked.

The four three-masted sailboats quickly raised their sails and turned around, trying to slip away...

But Sabrina had already caught up with a brigade of griffin cavalry. The griffin cavalry threw flaming short flying spears in the sky, which instantly ignited the sails. With the help of the sea breeze, the fire burned very fiercely, and the ropes and sails were burned in a blink of an eye.

The masts of the three-masted sailboat were coated with fire-resistant material, so no fire broke out.

When the sails of the four three-masted sailboats burned, they could only drift on the vast sea...

Soon, the ten magic airships following behind caught up from the air. When the crew saw hundreds of gray dwarf bandits gathered on the deck ready to fight, they didn't say any more nonsense to them and directly shot magic crystal arrows, freezing a large number of gray dwarf bandits on the deck.

Then a large group of griffin riders swooped down and landed on the deck. These griffins did not use their iron will and therefore did not cause any damage to the three sailing ships.

A large group of sirens also emerged from the sea. They used their strong arms to climb the outer wall of the ship with their bare hands...

Many gray dwarf bandits who were not frozen by the magic crystal arrows jumped into the sea to escape, while some gray dwarves chose to surrender.

However, these gray dwarf bandits who jumped into the sea to escape did not know that there were more Siren warriors waiting in the sea.

Half an hour later,
Roy landed on the front three-masted sailing ship on Kaka's griffin.

Four gray dwarf captains knelt in a row, their hands tied with ropes. A group of gray dwarf bandits were also tied to the deck, and many of them were covered in blood.

Half-elf guards threw some dead gray dwarf bandits into the sea...

The Siren warriors also jumped into the sea, and the Griffin Riders flew back into the sky.

Adjutant Walker hurried onto the deck. He leaned close to Roy's ear and said solemnly:
"Boss, we found a group of imprisoned Naga sea tribesmen in the bottom cabin."

Roy frowned. These three-masted sailing ships were indeed slave ships...

"Take me to see it."

Walker brought Roy and his party to the bottom cabin of the three-masted sailing ship. The wooden stairs leading into the bottom cabin were partially submerged by sea water.

Roy walked down and smelled a strong fishy smell from the sea water.

Although the bottom cabin was dark, when Roy looked inside, he still saw a large number of Naga sea creatures. These Naga sea creatures were hung on the keel of the cabin, with only the lower body below the waist immersed in the filthy sea water.

Because the upper bodies of these Naga sea people have been exposed to the air for a long time and have not been kept moisturized, their skin has shown symptoms such as scaling and cracking.

A large group of Naga sea creatures were wrapped in chains all over their bodies, with their hands locked up and hung on the ceiling of the cabin.

In this way, they are hung like salted fish. They seem to be still alive, but they don’t look energetic, and one can even say they are very haggard.

Roy jumped into the bottom cabin regardless of the stench of the sea water, then walked up and used a sharp magic dagger to cut the iron chain on the wrist of the Naga sea tribe.

At this time, Walker, who was following behind Roy, quickly handed over a key. Roy helped the Naga to sit down in the dirty sea water in the bottom cabin. The Naga raised her head drowsily and looked at Roy numbly.

Roy cast a "Holy Light Spell" on him, and when the holy light fell on the Naga sea tribe, he finally woke up a little.

Roy squatted there and said to him expressionlessly:
"We have occupied this ship. You are free now. I will give you two hours to rescue your companions and leave my ship as soon as possible."
