Path of Light.

Chapter 847 848. The Dilemma of the Gray Dwarf 2
A gray dwarf bandit struggled to pull his left foot out of the mud, but tripped over a vine as he stepped forward.

The gray dwarf nearly fell forward. He looked down at the vine that tripped him, pulled out an axe and chopped it down. However, since there was no point of force, the axe did not cut the vine, but instead bounced his short axe back.

The gray dwarf bent down and tried to pull up the vine that was tripping him, but a silent figure slid down the tree along the vine.

He came silently behind the gray dwarf and stabbed the dagger into the gray dwarf's neck.

The gray dwarf fell headfirst into the mud and never got up again.

This scene keeps playing out in the jungle...

Commander Mazio discovered that many of the gray dwarves who had fallen behind could never catch up, and he began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

However, there are currently nearly 30,000 gray dwarves scattered in this jungle. If he wants the army to stop, he needs to let the herald run to the front of the team and pass the command back continuously.

The jungle was filled with a strange atmosphere and was eerily quiet...

All the animals and birds in the forest disappeared, and there was no road in the woods. He could only rely on a hand-drawn map of Kui Island to move towards the underground castle.

He was ready to take the lead in capturing this military fortress...

There was a slippery slope ahead, with rocks covered with moss, and the gray dwarf warriors could only climb up using a few vines.

The gray dwarves who followed from behind crowded together. Many of them became restless and felt that there were countless eyes staring at them in the jungle...

"Commander, we found an elven army ahead, but they are not fighting us at all. All the elves are hiding in the trees and shooting arrows. They are very familiar with this jungle and are always trying to lead our warriors to the place covered with vines. What should we do?"

A gray dwarf captain ran back from the front and reported to Commander Machio.

"We must not let the elves lead us by the nose. We must reach the underground castle as soon as possible. When marching, be careful of the elves' cold arrows shot from the trees. If they dare not confront us head-on, we must force them to fight us!"

The elves have been avoiding fighting, which makes Machio full of confidence in the battle of Que Island.

The supervision team that went to the jungle to search for the gray dwarf warriors who had fallen behind has returned. However, there were 24 gray dwarves in this supervision team when they left, but only eight returned...

Mazio looked for the captain of the expedition among the crowd:
"Where's your captain?"

Macchio's voice was a little rough and his tone seemed a little anxious.

Their captain is Macchio's nephew, who grew up with Macchio and is a very brave young man...

The eight gray dwarves from the supervising team said dejectedly:
"Commander, there is a group of Dark Moon Elves lurking in the jungle behind us. Almost all the soldiers who fell behind were killed by them. The captain was also killed by the Dark Moon Elves in order to cover our retreat..."

Mazio felt as if someone had hit him in the chest. He held his chest with one hand and said to the herald beside him:
"Pass the order down. All soldiers are not allowed to fall behind and do not stop. Our goal is the underground castle of Kui Island."

"Yes!"

The original plan was to enter the jungle and give the elves a head-on blow.

Now this group of gray dwarves from the north are suffering from the terrible environment in the jungle and are having trouble finding the way to victory...

Macchio looked into the deep jungle at the foot of the volcano, wiped the sweat from his face, and continued on his way.

……

Roy and Moira rushed into the bottom hold of the imperial merchant ship with a group of griffin cavalry, and saw several priests treating a group of injured half-elf guards.

They sat on one side of the corridor. The weapons of the gray dwarves were all blunt instruments. If the elf warriors were hit by them carelessly, their bones would be broken at best, and their bones would be shattered at worst...

However, there were not many injured half-elf guards. Roy and Moira could already hear the fighting in the cabin below as they passed through the corridor.

"Where's Sabrina?"

Roy asked a wounded Griffin Trooper.

"Mistress Sabrina has gone inside..."

The injured griffin rider pointed inside the cabin and said.

Roy stopped talking and ran straight into the cabin, with Moira following him in a panic.

The gray dwarves in the cabin had been suppressed in a corner by the half-blood elf guards, but they were outnumbered, and there were still hundreds of gray dwarf bandits in the bottom cabin who were resisting stubbornly...

Some of the ceilings of the bottom cabin had been damaged in large areas, and the ice and snow on the deck fell directly into the cabin through the holes.

Seawater was pouring in through the cracks in the hull, and the water in the bottom cabin was already above the ankles...

An iron hammer bulged out from the side of the cabin, and then a gray dwarf robber wearing black full-body armor tore through the wooden wall and rushed out, and suddenly a big hole appeared in the wooden wall. The gray dwarf robber fell to the left, and at the moment he fell, a Serruki long sword stretched out from the wooden hole in the wall behind him.

Sabrina's beautiful figure also emerged from the big hole. There were traces of being hit by axes and hammers on her body. Two priests were behind her, and several gray dwarves holding square hammers were chasing after her.

Two priests held scepters in their hands and blocked the axe in the gray dwarf's hand.

As Sabrina turned around, the Serruki sword in her hand suddenly disappeared.

When she turned her wrist, the long sword cut into the gray dwarf bandit's forearm at a tricky angle.

The gray dwarf bandit stopped in his tracks. He had no time to block with his hammer, so he could only stick out his stomach and use his shoulder to hit Sabrina...

The black iron shoulder armor worn by the gray dwarf was covered with sharp rivets, which looked like a small round shield full of spikes. However, he ignored the two priests beside him. Suddenly, sacred shields condensed by holy light appeared on the arms of the two priests, blocking Sabrina like two doors.

The gray dwarf bandit hit the holy shield with his shoulder, and although it broke the holy shield instantly, Sabrina used her long sword to cut a gash on the elbow of his left arm.

His left arm immediately fell down weakly, perhaps because the tendon was cut...

Sabrina continued to stab her sword inside, but it was caught by the gray dwarf's wrist armor, and the sharp tip of the sword hit his chest armor, and she could no longer penetrate.

At this moment Sabrina immediately pulled back her sword, and the gray dwarf bandit took the opportunity to smash Sabrina's face with the chain shield in his hand again.

This gray dwarf was able to hold his own in the fight, so he was probably at least a first-level peak warrior.

The gray dwarf who chased out from behind swung his hammer at the two priests. The priests' holy shields had already dissipated from their arms, and they could only grit their teeth and use their holy scepters to parry.

At this time, Roy and Moira rushed into the bottom cabin...

When Roy saw the gray dwarf bandits, he immediately opened the Book of Judgment. Although the cover of the Book of Judgment had become a carved wooden board and had lost its defensive power, it was still possible to instantly cast the 'Hammer of Judgment'.

The Holy Light Hammer circled in the air and flew towards the gray dwarf...

Unexpectedly, the gray dwarf warrior standing in front just raised his shield to hit Sabrina. Seeing a small silver hammer flying along the corridor, he moved his shield horizontally, and the holy light hammer hit the heavy dwarf chain shield.

What Roy didn't expect was that a layer of black light burst out from the surface of the chain shield, and then the holy light hammer shattered...

The gray dwarf warrior was knocked back three steps, and the floor beneath his feet was dented.

Roy was a little surprised that the Hammer of Judgment did not penetrate the chain shield...

It seems that there are some second-level strongmen hidden among the gray dwarves. The gray dwarf warrior looked at the prickly footprints on the floor and stared at Roy with some fear.

He had fought with Sabrina for a long time and knew how difficult this sword dancer was to deal with. His elbow tendon had just been severed, leaving only his right arm holding the shield to move...

Now a human priest has arrived, and the final hope of victory has vanished into thin air.

He didn't intend to lose his life here, and when he saw that Roy and Sabrina didn't move, his body tensed up again and he rushed towards the right wall.

He wanted to break through the wall to escape, but before he could get out of the broken wall, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back.

I reached out to grab it, but it only touched the leather armor. I turned around and saw a gray figure disappearing into the shadows. It seemed to be a petite female elf assassin...

The pain in his waist caused half of his body to become numb. The gray dwarf quickly petrified his body. Marble patterns appeared on his body and all the pain disappeared.

This can also prevent bleeding, but the petrified body will not heal the wound, but may aggravate the injury.

The benefits are obvious. After such a serious injury, my body has recovered to normal and even my left arm can move without hindrance.
The gray dwarf raised his warhammer to block Sabrina's sword.

Before he could gather his strength to fight back, he saw the disappeared figure appear in his arms and pierce his chest with a fanged dagger.

The black iron plate armor couldn't block the dagger.

The hilt of the sword hit the iron plate on his chest with a ding sound, and the entire blade sank into the gray dwarf's chest...

The gray dwarf looked at the beautiful elf girl in front of him with some despair. The girl had a delicate face but slightly gray skin.

He could feel the life essence in his body constantly dissipating, and his soul seemed to be about to leave his body and rush into the sky. He was already somewhat unable to control his own body, and yet at this moment he could not feel any pain.

Before he died completely, he dropped his hammer and shield, and with his petrified body, which made him temporarily immune to pain, he suddenly picked up the beautiful figure with his arms, wanting to break her lumbar vertebrae with the strength of his arms.

At this moment, the desperate and angry face of the gray dwarf was reflected in Moira's big black eyes, but she was like a loach. At the moment when the gray dwarf closed his arms, she slipped out...

A black mist emanated from the gray dwarf's arms, and as he staggered forward two steps, he fell to the ground with a thud.
