Path of Light.

Chapter 885 886. The Gray Dwarf's Northern Fleet

The waves hit the beach, leaving some white foam, and then disappeared silently.

Several bonfires were lit on the beach near the jungle.

A group of priests were invited by the imperial crew and sat on the beach chatting while enjoying the sea breeze.

In order to express their gratitude to the priests of the Knights Templar, the imperial crew members specially exchanged some sea fish from the Naga sea tribe and prepared a bonfire picnic.

There are several chefs among the imperial crew. Their best cooking is fruit-flavored grilled fish, which, paired with some fruit wine, can be considered a good dinner.

The Imperial sailors told the priests about the customs and practices of the Gray Port in Luin Bay, and how broad the breasts of the girls there were...

Tells how rampant the mermaid slave traders are in Pelage Harbor...

Telling about the artistic Port of Haines...

This crew has been away from home for so long that there has never been a time when they miss home more than now.

"Do you think we will spend the rest of our lives on Kui Island?"

An imperial crew member handed a golden grilled fish to the priest beside him.

Before the priest could speak, an imperial crew member behind him said optimistically:

"As long as the news that we are trapped on Kui Island spreads, the merchant alliance that trades herbs in the Elf Continent will redeem us. Don't worry, compared to those merchants, we are worthless!"

He asked anxiously:

“What if the news doesn’t get out?”

The Imperial sailor said with great certainty: "No, it will definitely happen."

The young imperial crew member looked at the priest wearing a comfortable and breathable linen robe and asked with a smile:
"Priest Wood, if we have the opportunity to return to the Green Empire, would you like to go home with us?"

"Me? I may not be able to leave with you. Next we plan to go to the west coast of the Elf Continent and cause trouble for those slave traders." Priest Wood responded.

"Are you going to deal with the gray dwarf slave traders?" asked the young imperial crew member with some envy.

Priest Wood looked at the Imperial crew with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Not only the gray dwarf slave traders, but also the slave traders of other races need to be dealt with."

"Priest Wood, can you plead for us with Boss Roy? I hope Boss Roy will give us a chance to redeem ourselves." The young imperial crew member said to Priest Wood.

For a moment, the surrounding imperial crew members all looked at Priest Wood.

Priest Wood hesitated for a moment and then said:
"I want to know why you help those gray dwarf bandits. I want to hear your reasons and then decide whether to help you or not..."

"..."

……

The gray dwarf bandits on the Endless Sea are like a group of homeless prairie hyenas, they are crazy and violent.

Usually they would form small-scale pirate groups to rob and plunder everywhere.

Once they encounter foreign armies, they like to huddle together for warmth on the vast ocean.

The gray dwarf bandits have a wide hunting range, and everything they see will become their hunting target...

Whether it's a Naga, an elf, a human, or even a lone Siren, they will stretch out their claws and try to scratch it.

When encountering a large-scale Naga army, the gray dwarf bandits will scatter and flee.

The Naga army intercepted a few three-masted sailing ships, which was simply a piece of cake for these gray dwarf bandits...

The gray dwarf bandits only care about their own life and death, and don't care about the life and death of other gray dwarf bandits at all.

In fact, they don't have any special means to deal with the Naga Sea Clan. The Naga Sea Clan is more troubled by the Gray Dwarves because the Gray Dwarf bandits are running around in the Endless Sea like mad dogs.

Most of the gray dwarf bandits are nomadic, and they will immediately sail away after attacking the naga tribe.

Because there are so many gray dwarf bandits.

Like a swarm of locusts, they plundered almost all the Naga tribes in the eastern part of the Endless Sea.

This may be the main reason why the Naga tribe is afraid of them.

Among these seas, the waters of Kuei Island are precisely where the gray dwarf bandits are most rampant.
Once the gray dwarf bandits discover a Naga tribe, they will first investigate the size of the tribe. If they cannot swallow it all in one go, they will gather helpers for a hunting feast.

If this Naga tribe is too powerful and we cannot defeat them after several attempts, we will have to choose a strategic retreat...

If you find that the other person is a soft persimmon, you will eat him slowly, bite by bite, including the skin and flesh.

The Naga Sea Clan had fought against the Gray Dwarf bandits several times and were very troubled by the Gray Dwarf bandits' sticky tactics.

Many Naga tribes living on the edge of the Endless Sea were eventually forced to migrate their settlements to the vicinity of Gomez City to seek shelter from the Naga army.

At one time, more than 500,000 gray dwarf bandits gathered near Kui Island. They repelled a patrolling Naga army in the waters around this area.

Since that naval battle, these gray dwarf bandits have become full of confidence.

They found that the Queen Ivni Islands had a very good geographical location. By occupying the Ivni Islands, they could not only control the west coast of the Elf Continent, but also connect it with the waters of Que Island and the Alphabet Islands.

In this way, the single route from south to north of the gray dwarf bandits can be expanded into a sea area completely controlled by the gray dwarf bandits.

The gray dwarf bandits deployed nearly 800,000 troops to the battlefield of Queen Ewenni Islands. Several times, the gray dwarf bandits almost landed on the Queen Island, but unfortunately they failed in the end.

Some gray dwarves even felt that it was a waste of money to capture the Queen Eweni Islands...

If these troops were deployed among the mountains of Durrag's Knee, their hometown, they might be able to retake a mountain range.

Currently, the gray dwarf bandits have two powerful forces, one is the Northern Army Fleet located on the northwest coast of Durlag's Knee, and the other is the Garro Free Army Fleet formed by millions of gray dwarf pioneers who went south to the Seven Realm Sea.

These two forces are very powerful, and each fleet has thousands of brigs. The Northern Army fleet has more gray dwarf warriors, while the Garro Free Army has more brigs.

The gray dwarf bandits attacked the Queen Eweni Islands, actually planning a new base for the Northern Army fleet.

Once Durlag's Knee is completely occupied by the Dark Legion, the Northern Army Fleet will have to withdraw from the Frozen Sea. The most suitable island for them to live is the Queen Eweni Islands...

At the same time, Roy was touching the cake of the Northern Fleet... Kui Island originally belonged to them.

The waters currently controlled by the Gray Dwarf Northern Fleet include:
The waters of Kuei Island, the Alphabet Islands, the west coast of the Mensa Plain, and one-third of the coastline of the northwest corner of Dulag's Knee.

In addition, the Northern Fleet also has more than eight million gray dwarves who have not yet been evacuated from Durrag...

Gray dwarves are born robbers. They bully the weak and fear the strong. They are selfish and cruel. It also means that gray dwarves are tough. As long as they put on armor and pick up weapons, they can turn into gray dwarf robbers.

The slave ships of the gray dwarf bandits are actually extra-official fleets of the Northern Army Fleet.

The half-elves did not understand this, but the imperial merchants and sailors knew it very well.

Imperial merchant ships usually need to sail north from the west coast of the Elf Continent to the border between the Endless Sea and the Frozen Sea, and sail west to reach the Green Empire.

Sailing east along the northern coastline of the Durrag Ice Plains, you will reach the dwarven kingdom.

Currently, the dwarf and orc coalition has established a defense line on the eastern coastline of the Durrag Plains...

But if the Empire merchants want to enter the west coast of the Elven Continent from the Frozen Sea to trade, there is a section of the sea that needs to pass through the area controlled by the Gray Dwarf Northern Army Fleet.

In order to pass through the jurisdiction of the Northern Fleet, not only do merchant ships have to pay a toll, but occasionally they also have to serve the gray dwarf bandits.

The young Imperial crew member told Priest Wood that this was why they helped the gray dwarf bandits...

……

While the imperial crew members were discussing these topics on the beach, Roy and Captain Jeroin were sitting on the magic airship that was being repaired nearby.

Great Wizard Grams planned to install a magic cannon on the magic airship, and asked the half-elf crew at the repair shop to install a wooden platform in front of the deck, because he was worried that the original deck could not bear the weight and recoil of the magic cannon.

When Roy came to the repair shop, he also asked the supervisor in charge of the renovation project to come over and inquire about the progress of the project.

When he was talking about these things on the boat, Captain Jeroin came over and the two of them talked about the plane war of the Green Empire and some specific situations of the gray dwarf bandits.

In fact, when Captain Flint came to Que Island with Roy this time, his thoughts were revealed all at once.

The priests of the Knights Templar have lived in the dark land for half their lives. Now they have even become people abandoned by the Statue of Liberty. Although they can live a secluded life in the future, who doesn't have a hometown in this life?

He missed home and wanted to go back to his hometown while he was still alive...

Captain Flint's thoughts are probably also the thoughts of many priests in the Knights Templar.

When everyone first lived in the dark land, they just hoped to have a place to live where they could have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and be relatively safe, and it would be best if they could get some sunshine often.

Roy brought them to Kui Island, and all their wishes came true. Their life at the beginning was very satisfying and happy.

But after living like this for a while, some other emotions began to grow in the hearts of the priests, one of which was "homesickness".

Captain Flint came to visit the Imperial crew this time to treat their old injuries and also wanted to talk to them about the recent situation of the Green Empire.

Roy and Captain Jeroin never imagined that this group of priests chatting with the Imperial crew would actually allow the Imperial crew to reveal so much information about the gray dwarves.

Roy had imagined that the gray dwarf's fleet was very large, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. No wonder the Naga sea tribe had to avoid it.

He actually has two fleets, the northern and southern fleets. This time, Roy offended the northern fleet...

"How do you feel? Do you feel particularly heavy-hearted after hearing this?"

Captain Jeroin leaned his hands on the railing and asked with a smile to Roy who was lost in thought beside him.
