Path of Light.

Chapter 850 851. Jungle Tiger and Night Blade Leopard

The half-elves on three imperial merchant ships were successfully rescued.

Except for those who died, the remaining gray dwarf bandits were almost all captured by the elven guards, even those who jumped into the sea to escape were not spared.

The elven guards gained the upper hand, and the other two imperial merchant ships also surrendered.

The half-elves wrapped themselves in some sheets and blankets, shivering as they walked onto the deck, waiting for rescue by the half-elf guards.

As for the gray dwarf robbers on the ship, they all climbed out from the bottom cabin and became prisoners obediently.

The imperial merchants and crew members on the ship were also taken to the island of Kuei by the half-elf guards.

Only two of the five imperial merchant ships were intact, one sank in the coral reef sea, and the other two were almost destroyed during the battle. It is probably unlikely that they can be completely repaired.

It can only be left alone and some valuable things removed.

These gray dwarf captives on the five merchant ships almost all live on islands near Kui Island.

They knew how powerful the half-blood elves were and were often bullied by the griffin cavalry. They knew they could not defeat the half-blood elves on the island of Kuei, so their will to fight was not very strong. They chose to surrender at the slightest sign of defeat, so that they could at least save their lives.

These imperial merchants were in trouble.

Originally, they came to Kui Island to send the half-blood elves from the Elf Continent to Kui Island, intending to make a fortune, and then buy a large number of magic herbs to return to the Green Empire to make another fortune.

But on the way, he happened to meet Commander Macchio.

After some reluctance, the imperial merchants decided to cooperate with this group of gray dwarves.

Their original plan was: look for an opportunity to raid Kui Island, and if there was no opportunity, just do business honestly.

Unexpectedly, the gray dwarves colluded with the mercenaries on the merchant ship and launched a surprise attack on Que Island in the middle of the transaction, which not only made it impossible to continue the transaction, but also made these imperial merchants and crew members become prisoners of the half-elves.

All their property was confiscated, and three of the five large sailing ships were scrapped at once.

The crew members sat obediently in the wooden house, and they didn't dare to complain at this time.

Some half-blood elves died on the ship. Although they were killed by the gray dwarf bandits, they were also closely related to them...

The imperial crew on the five ships totaled more than five hundred people, filling several wooden houses.

Nineteen imperial merchants were imprisoned in a wooden house. In the corner of the room there was a bucket filled with fresh water.

An elf guard also brought a box of rotten apples and placed it at the door.

It is estimated that they can only eat this for some time to come, but for the time being they can't eat anything else. A group of businessmen whispered about what to do next.

They need to take out some chips in exchange for the forgiveness of the half-blood elves.

Following the grille, I saw a long line of gray dwarf bandits outside walking dejectedly into the woods.

Not long after, the merchants saw another team of half-elf guards coming out of the woods.

The team of elven guards lined up in four rows and walked in front of the hut where they were imprisoned. It took them nearly half an hour to finally get through.

"How many Elven guards just walked by?"

The Imperial merchant Moses asked the Imperial merchant standing at the window.

"Fifteen thousand half-blood elves."

The merchant looked back at Moses and said.

At this moment, the room became extremely quiet, and all the merchants looked at Moses...

Because this is not quite the same as the information Moses had provided before.

At the beginning, Moses told everyone that there would be no more than 30,000 half-elves guarding the island of Kuei. This time, the Gray Dwarf Legion prepared 40,000 Gray Dwarf warriors to attack Kuei. The Gray Dwarf bandits had a huge advantage...

"Why did this group of half-blood elves deploy nearly half of their forces at the port dock?"

An Imperial businessman broke the silence.

The Silver Empire merchant guessed:
"Could it be that those gray dwarf bandits failed to land on the east side of the island as planned?"

The Empire merchant Moses stepped forward, holding the window grille with both hands, and said solemnly:
"What's the use of talking about this now?"

He turned around, his eyes like a hawk staring at the group of merchants in the wooden house:

"Who do you hope will win at this time, the half-blood elves? Or those gray dwarf bandits?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he said in a deep voice:

"No matter who wins now, it can't change our fate! You don't think those gray dwarf bandits can share our joy of victory after occupying Kuei Island? In their eyes, we are also fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!"

"Now we are no longer entitled to share delicious food with them."

"We have become a piece of fat mutton. Whoever is the winner has the right to deal with us..."

...watching a large number of half-elf guards walk out of the portal,

The half-blood elves living in the tree houses around the Kuei Island Square were completely dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that so many half-elf troops would come out of the portal. The endless stream of elven troops and a large amount of supplies instantly filled the entire forest square.

These half-elf guards seemed to be arriving on Kui Island for the first time, and they looked around with curiosity in their eyes.

Mulin walked through a forest and came to the silver beach.

There were six three-masted sailing ships and two larger five-masted sailing ships moored at the pier ahead...

Mu Lin looked up at the blue sky and breathed in the warm air. It turned out that this was the main plane!

She strode from the team to the dock and saw a group of half-elf guards carrying the wounded from the merchant ship. Roy was discussing things with the sisters Sabrina and Moira. Several priests were waiting on the side, and a group of griffin cavalry were waiting further away.

The dock seemed a bit messy, and there were some blood stains on the floor.

Mulin avoided the blood and made way for two half-elf guards carrying a stretcher. He was almost hit by a half-elf who was getting off the boat in a panic. Then he came to Roy.

"Why are you here too?"

This was the first thing Roy said when he saw Mulin.

Without waiting for Mu Lin to answer, Roy continued:
"Mullin, you stay at the dock to deal with the aftermath. I'll go to the east to see how the battle is going. Sabrina, you lead the half-elf guards eastward along the coastline. Follow the information provided by the Griffin Cavalry Regiment and try to encircle this group of gray dwarves. Don't let them escape..."

Mu Lin agreed habitually:

"Oh!"

Sabrina originally wanted to take her cavalry squadron directly to the battlefield ahead, but now she could only lead the Security Guard Regiment eastward along the coastline.

"understood."

Of the two magic airships participating in the battle in the Coral Reef Sea, one has returned to the dock, and the other is slowly sailing towards the battlefield on the eastern side of the island.

After Roy arranged things at the dock, he sat on the back seat of a griffin cavalry and let it carry him into the sky...

The great magician Grams caught up from behind on his magic broom, and the two of them went to the eastern battlefield together.

……

Woods followed the half-elf warriors of the mine guard regiment and trekked more than ten kilometers through the jungle.

The griffin cavalry in the sky delivered the message that the gray dwarf army was in the dense forest one kilometer ahead and they were moving towards the underground castle.

Vitas led a group of guards around to the front of the gray dwarf army and happened to meet a half-elf warrior who was retreating from the eastern outpost.

Vitas was the half-elf warrior that Roy rescued in the spinel mine.

Along the way, he has become the commander of the first regiment of the mine guard regiment.

He had experienced the war with the headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau, the war with the sea beast priest Latimore on the Sun Island, the war with the gray dwarf bandits on the Queen Ewenni Islands, and the defense of the Dark Gate expeditionary camp...

Although Vitas has not yet broken through the second level, he is considered the strongest elf warrior at the peak of the first level.

The captain of the elf training team who had withdrawn from the sentry post went directly to Vitas and explained to him the actual situation of these gray dwarf bandits:
"Captain Vitas, the gray dwarves are about to arrive here. There are about 30,000 gray dwarves landing this time. Their leader is a gray dwarf wearing heavy armor like an iron can. So far, five of his companions have died from his flying axes. He can throw the flying axes directly over 300 meters away, and can easily cut down trees as thick as waists. Please be careful when you meet him."

"Their commander should be a rank 2 expert."

Vitas said to the fifteen captains around him:

"Although they have 30,000 people, we don't need to worry too much about those gray dwarf bandits being able to tear through our defenses."

He turned to look at Captain Jeroin who had hurriedly caught up with a group of priests, and said to a group of half-blood elf captains:

"Captain Jeroin and the priests of the Knights Templar will give us the greatest support this time. Those gray dwarves dared to come to Kui Island. We must let them know how powerful our mine guard group is!"

The morale of the half-elf captains was high.

"Captain Vitas is right. This time we have to let these gray dwarves know that we are not the weaklings on Queen Evanni Island..."

I don’t know which captain said this in the crowd.

Vitas paused and said:
"Also, the assassins are currently nipping at their tails. Captain Tennyson is leading the team again, so there is no need for me to say anything more!"

"As long as we can tear apart the formation of this army of gray dwarves, Captain Tennyson will be able to devour them. So... warriors, it's time to prove yourself."

Vitas squatted down, drew a simple diagram on the ground with a branch, and continued to arrange:
"Each team will form a shield wall, and the archers will fire three rounds of arrows. Then we will give them a hard blow..."

"When the blessing spell is about to disappear, we will retreat to the north. The archers will cover us in the trees. We must not fight with them. Our physical strength and endurance will definitely not be able to outlast them. There is a large depression over here, which is a mangrove forest. We will go directly into the mangrove forest."

A captain immediately reminded Vitas:
"Vitas, we've been there before when we were on patrol. That mangrove forest is too difficult to walk through. In some places, if you step in, the mud is so deep that your thighs are submerged."

Vitas smiled and said:
"That's why we're going there. If the mud in that mangrove forest can swallow our thighs, what do you think will happen to the gray dwarves?"
