Path of Light.

Chapter 845 846. The Gray Dwarf's Landing Plan
Just when the gray dwarf bandits in the coral reef area were engaged in a tough battle, twenty three-masted sailing ships appeared in the waters east of Kui Island.

These three-masted sailing ships were blown towards Kuei Island by the southwest wind, and they drew white lines on the sea...

The sailboat did not slow down as it approached Kuei Island.

The gray dwarf captain standing in the captain's room saw the long seawall across the coastline, gripped the steering wheel tightly, opened the glass window and shouted loudly to the gray dwarf crew members on the deck:

"Pull the sails and let's go..."

The five three-masted sailing ships in the front collided directly with the seawall. All the crew members stood beside the side of the ship, holding on to the handrails on the side tightly...

Driven by the sea breeze, the five sailboats crashed directly into the seawall.

The huge impact force caused the hard bronze argali horns on the bow of the ship to directly hit the gabion of the seawall. The nearly seventy-meter-long three-masted sailing ship directly inserted the argali horns on the bow into the stone wall.

Then the bow of the ship moved on the foundation of the seawall, the bronze argali ram's horns were raised high, the huge hull tilted, and the front third of the three-masted sailing ship rushed directly out of the sea and pressed on the gap in the seawall...

The gray dwarf bandits on the ship held on to the handrails tightly, but were still thrown into the air by the huge impact force and fell heavily on the deck.

It was not until the three-masted sailing ship stopped that the gray dwarf bandits climbed up from the deck with great pain. They saw that the three-masted sailing ship had crashed into the seawall, so they jumped from the three-masted sailing ship to the seawall.

At this time, the Griffin Cavalry that was heading to the eastern part of the island for support from the Kui Island Pier was still on the way.

There were only some highland headhunters reinforcing the seawall not far away. When they saw the three-masted sailing ship appearing on the sea, they thought it was a half-elves sailing in the surrounding waters.

It wasn't until these three-masted sailboats rushed towards the seawall that the highland headhunters realized something was wrong.

Five three-masted sailing ships rushed to the seawall, and a large number of gray dwarf bandits rushed down from the ships, holding weapons in their hands, and killed their way along the seawall.

The plateau headhunters suddenly realized one thing, that is, they had no way to escape on this seawall, and the only way to survive was to fight to the death.

The eyes of these plateau headhunters, who were holding hammers, chisels and crowbars, also turned red at this moment.

They were originally a group of hunters filled with a strong desire to fight. When they saw the gray dwarf bandits howling and charging at them, they also roared madly...

In order to enable the headhunters to work properly, the half-elves had already undone the shackles on their hands. Although the shackles between their legs were not removed, the chains between the shackles were very long and did not affect their walking.

The fully armed gray dwarf bandits rushed over, but the seawall only allowed five people to walk side by side. The two sides collided on the seawall, and only the dozen or so warriors in the front could attack the other side...

The gray dwarf bandits smashed the headhunters with their war hammers, and the headhunters fought back desperately with their stone-chiseling hammers.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, more than a dozen headhunters had their heads smashed by the gray dwarf bandits. Their bodies fell on the seawall and were immediately trampled under the feet of the gray dwarf bandits.

The highland headhunters who were crowded in the back howled and did not retreat. They took advantage of the moment when the gray dwarf bandits swung their hammers to smash the gray dwarf bandits with their hammers...

For a moment, many gray dwarf bandits were knocked down and lying on the seawall.

It was the first time that the gray dwarf bandits fought against the headhunters. Although the gray dwarf warriors inflicted heavy casualties on the headhunters, facing these alien races whose fighting will was no weaker than that of the tribal orcs, they also suffered heavy casualties themselves.

The melee on the seawall began to spread to the shallows.

At this time, more highland headhunters emerged from the reef area.

They were mining rocks in a nearby reef area, and when someone saw the fight on the seawall, they immediately came over to support them...

The plateau headhunters howled as they ran, and their strong fighting spirit also burst out in these howls.

A large number of gray dwarf bandits rushed into the shallows from the seawall, and then the two sides started a bloody battle on the eastern beach of Kui Island. This group of highland headhunters who had been suppressed in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp for several years finally found an outlet to vent their emotions.

Although the price seemed a bit high, the group of plateau headhunters still rushed forward like crazy.

Plateau headhunters kept falling in the shallow sea, their blood dyed large areas of the sea red, and their bodies soaked in the sea.

The gray dwarf bandits also suffered some casualties, but the number of gray dwarf bandits killed in the battle was far less than that of the plateau headhunters...

……

In the jungle less than 500 meters away from the beach battlefield, there are some elf outposts hidden, and each outpost has a team of half-elfs.

When they saw a group of three-masted sailboats rushing towards the seawall, they fired magic flares into the sky for help.

Originally, they were waiting for the gray dwarf bandits to sneak into the edge of the jungle. They would shoot two rounds of arrows with bows and arrows first to teach these gray dwarf bandits a lesson...

But they never expected that these gray dwarves would rush to the seawall and actually take the initiative to fight with the highland headhunter prisoners.

And this group of highland headhunters also revealed their bloodiness...

Without any armor on his body, he actually fought with the gray dwarves wearing chain mail with his bare body.

Looking at the river of blood on the beach, the half-elf guards hiding in the jungle felt a little admiration for the plateau headhunters for the first time.

No wonder these plateau headhunters were able to become the overlords of the Pagisto Plateau and chase the half-blood elves on the plateau everywhere. If Boss Roy hadn't stepped forward to drive them away, who knows where the half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau would have survived.

A half-elf guard standing on the top of the tree canopy in charge of lookout shouted excitedly to the half-elf patrol team in the canopy:

"Captain, look in the sky over there...it looks like our Griffin Cavalry!"

A half-elf guard captain who was standing on a branch and observing the beach battlefield raised his head and said with some doubt:

"This place is at least 20 kilometers away from the dock. How did they get here so quickly? How many Griffin cavalrymen are here?"

The half-elf guard shouted again:

"What a large group, there should be several hundred griffin cavalry, Captain, take a look..."

He pointed his finger at the distant sky.

The captain of the half-elf guard saw the dense swarm of griffin cavalry in the sky through the gaps between the leaves. They were like a dark cloud passing over the sea, flying towards this side rapidly.

The gray dwarf bandits on the beach had obviously noticed these griffin riders, and more and more gray dwarf bandits rushed down from the three-masted sailing ship from behind.

These twenty three-masted sailing ships transported nearly 30,000 gray dwarf bandits. There were only more than 7,000 gray dwarf bandits fighting with the plateau headhunters on the beach, but they had now firmly grasped the situation and surrounded more than 5,000 plateau headhunters on the beach.

Every moment, headhunters fell into the blood-stained sea...

As the loud and high-pitched cries of the griffins were heard, a large number of gray dwarf bandits began to cross the beach and rush into the jungle.

The guards at the half-blood elf outposts on the edge of the jungle had found the best blocking position, and almost everyone of them had an elven longbow in their hands. When they saw the gray dwarf bandits approaching, they all shot out the magic arrows in their hands...

These magic arrows are of course a generous gift from Boss Roy.

In fact, Roy had long discovered that ordinary arrows had very limited lethality against gray dwarves wearing chain mail.

This time, he captured the island of Kuei on the advice of Mrs. Nancy, which was equivalent to snatching a piece of fat meat from the mouths of the gray dwarves. Considering that the gray dwarves would definitely retaliate, in order to defeat these gray dwarf bandits, Roy decisively paid money to buy a large number of magic arrows from the Magic Guild of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

These magic arrows have two magic effects: 'penetration' and 'armor breaking'.

Only a dozen arrows were shot out in a round.

However, these arrows were extremely secretive, flying out suddenly from between dense leaves. By the time the running gray dwarf bandits noticed the arrows, it was too late to dodge.

These tricky arrows could hardly cause a fatal blow to the gray dwarf bandits unless they pierced their eyes or hit their hearts.

Besides, the half-elf team was set up as a sentry post on the eastern side of the island. When encountering a large number of enemies, they didn't need to stay where they were...

The half-elf guards just shot two rounds of arrows and then moved from the treetops to the depths of the forest.

At this time, hundreds of griffin riders in the sky had already arrived above the beach.

Captain Tiprado saw the gray dwarf bandits rushing towards the beach in a line, pulled out a short flying spear from the weapon rack behind him, and blew the whistle in his mouth hard.

'Woo...'

All the griffin riders stared at Captain Tiprado and saw him rushing towards the gap in the seawall that was broken by the three-masted sailing ship. The griffin riders followed him one after another, each holding a short flying spear in his hand.

Then, they swooped down towards the places where the gray dwarf bandits were particularly densely populated...

……

On the three-masted sailing ship where the gray dwarf bandits were, Machio followed behind all the gray dwarf bandits.

He was wearing heavy plate armor, like a tin can, and the helmet inlaid with the horns of the Snowman King was hung on his belt, hitting his skirt armor with a clang as he walked forward.

He was a rank two warrior, holding in his right hand a metal shield that was thicker than a door panel.

As the supreme commander of the fleet heading south, Macchio was a little confused. There was a large island in front of him with a landing coastline of dozens of kilometers, but he could not find any information about the island at all.

At first he thought that the gray dwarf scouts who sneaked onto the island were all fools, but after sending out hundreds of gray dwarf scouts, still no one could bring back information about Que Island. Machio began to suspect that there were half-elf spies within the gray dwarf army.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I still have no clue.

So he took advantage of the close relationship he had established with the imperial merchants and asked them to transport the gray dwarf vanguard to the Kuei Island dock in advance.

However, it was obvious that those imperial merchants were unreliable. The battle that was supposed to start last night was delayed until this morning.

If the gray dwarf army wants to retake Kuei Island, they must land on the island and fight.

Although Macchio knew that this was not the most appropriate time, he had no choice.

At this time, all he needed to do was to deliver a thundering blow to the half-blood elves on the island of Kui.

They were the gray dwarf reinforcements coming from the north, but when they arrived here, they found that the gray dwarves near Kuei Island had been frightened by the half-blood elves, and they didn't even have the courage to participate in this battle...

Machio brought 30,000 gray dwarves from the north, and barely gathered another 5,000 from nearby pirates.

He thought that there should be only tens of thousands of half-blood elves guarding Kui Island...

In terms of combat power, the gray dwarf warriors are much stronger than the elf guards.

By this calculation, as long as he could carry out a perfect raid, his army of gray dwarves would be able to defeat the elven army on the island in one fell swoop.

He looked at the dense griffin cavalry in the sky, frowned and cursed:
"Damn it, there are so many Griffin Knights on the island, why didn't anyone tell me about it..."

No wonder these half-elves were able to occupy the island of Kuei, it turns out they have a powerful air force.

"Pass my order and have the team speed up. We have to rush into the jungle before these griffin cavalry launch their most violent attack on us. The griffins in the sky cannot fight in the jungle. We have to recapture the underground castle on the island before dark."

The gray dwarf leader Mazio said to the herald beside him.

"Yes, Commander."

The herald following beside him immediately chased forward and conveyed Macchio's orders over and over again.

These gray dwarf warriors had strong execution capabilities, and the team's running speed increased significantly. Even the gray dwarf warriors who were fighting with aliens on the beach began to prepare to rush into the jungle.

……

As the griffin cavalry in the sky flew over the shallow battlefield, they casually threw a round of short flying spears.

These gray dwarf bandits have no idea what the griffin riders are holding...

Although they knew that there were griffin cavalry flying in the sky, they were powerless to do anything about it as the flying axes in their hands could not be thrown that high.

They didn't even think that the Griffin Cavalry would launch an attack on them, because there were still many aliens on the battlefield, and an indiscriminate attack from a high altitude would inevitably injure those unarmored alien warriors...

Just when the gray dwarf bandits thought the griffin riders would not attack them, those short flying spears had already fallen from the sky...

A short flying spear fell beside the gray dwarf bandit like lightning.

It dived into the sea with a whoosh, and not even a shadow was seen.

The gray dwarf bandit only felt a cool breeze blowing down from above his head...

The other gray dwarf bandit was not so lucky. Just as he raised the short hand axe in his hand and prepared to chop off the head of the alien in front of him, a black shadow fell from the sky, and the tip of the short flying spear just pierced his right shoulder. The powerful penetrating force directly made the short flying spear penetrate the shoulder armor, breaking his collarbone, and then rushed into the chest cavity, crushing the heart and lungs...

A blood mist dispersed, and the short flying spear that fell from the sky broke the gray dwarf warrior's right arm at the shoulder, and his entire chest exploded. Then the tip of the spear came out from his lower back.

Half of the gray dwarf warrior disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, hundreds of short flying spears fell from the sky, and at least three hundred gray dwarf warriors were pierced through the bodies by these short flying spears and fell on the beach.
