Path of Light.

Chapter 913 913. Preparation before departure
Captain Jeroin's words made Roy fall into deep thought.

He knew that this kind of thing was unavoidable, and it was almost impossible to intercept all merchant ships trafficking in half-elves.

There are many routes on the nautical chart.
Even if they enter the Mensa Strait, imperial merchant ships can still choose multiple routes.

The room became a little quiet, and Woods walked over to Roy and looked at the nautical chart on the table carefully.

Captain Jeroin looked at the sea chart on the table and said to Roy:

"We know that the Horde orcs have never had a real naval force."

He pointed to a large area of ​​sea on the chart and continued:

"The sea area here has actually always been controlled by the gray dwarves."

"The real controller here should be the Northern Army Fleet, which is currently the largest military force in Durrag."

"Although they did not have the courage to face the Dark Legion on Durrag's Knee, their methods against the Naga Sea Tribe and the Empire's merchants were so cruel that the Naga Sea Tribe migrated to the deep sea. The Empire's merchants could only pay a certain transit fee so that they could pass through the last area of ​​the Frozen Sea."

"They failed to stop the invasion of the Dark Legion and lost most of the territory of Durrag's Knee. They have been entrenched on some islands on the west coast of Durrag's Knee. Their daily life mainly depends on looting the Naga sea tribe and human merchant ships in the Endless Sea."

"Before we occupy the waters of Kuei Island, the gray dwarf's three-masted sailing ship can sail all the way south from Durrag's Knee and smoothly enter Garo Island in the Seven Realms Sea. The islands and waters around this route are all controlled by the gray dwarf bandits."

"In fact, the gray dwarves in the waters of Kuei Island no longer belong to the Northern Army Fleet."

"The gray dwarf bandits here are more loosely organized. Other gray dwarves call the gray dwarf bandits in the waters of Kuei Island Black Sting Bees. The gray dwarf bandits here have always made a living by trafficking in slaves. The targets of their robbery are either Nagas or elves, because in Roland Continent, only slaves of these two races are easier to sell, and generally women are more popular."

"The Gray Dwarf's Northern Fleet claims to have a million Gray Dwarf warriors, but according to my estimation, although their Gray Dwarf warriors will not be one million, there will be at least 300,000 to 400,000 Gray Dwarf warriors. Moreover, they still have a large number of warships, and they even have weapons supported by the Dwarf Kingdom."

"In addition, there are currently millions of gray dwarves stranded on the west coast of Durlag's Knee."

"So what stands in front of us is a mountain that is even more precipitous and majestic than the Rampart Mountains. Don't think you can defeat them all at once."

"The reason why they have been hiding in the area of ​​the west coast of Durrag and the Mensa Strait in recent years is that they are worried that the Silver Pegasus Legion of the Elf Continent will attack their ships. It is for this reason that they want to fight for the Queen Ewenni Islands."

"Your mine guards are a new army. They are not strong enough to fight against the gray dwarfs' northern fleet..."

"Once we enter the Mensa Strait, we will inevitably encounter the Northern Fleet. We must exercise restraint then..."

Roy remained silent.

The information that Captain Jeroin said should have been obtained from the imperial merchants.

Although the imperial merchants at the shipyard would not tell him any useful information, they would not hide it from Captain Jeroin...

In fact, they revealed this information to Captain Jeroin in order to ease the deadlock.

They hoped that Captain Jeroin could mediate and get Boss Roy to agree to pay a ransom in exchange for their freedom.

"What do we mainly rely on to win the war at sea now?" Roy asked Captain Jeroin.

Captain Jeroin said as a matter of course: "Of course it is a large number of warships, there is no doubt about that!"

Roy shook his head, pointed to the cabinet next to the wall, and said:
"I think we should seize air superiority and use magic weapons to carry out long-range strikes, just like the giant crossbows we used before. If we shoot them from high altitude, the sea fleet will only become a sitting duck."

"This time I will drive these gray dwarves back to Durlag and make them fight against the Dark Legion in Durlag's Knee."

Captain Jelloin didn't expect that Roy not only wanted to crack down on those imperial merchants who were deceiving half-elves everywhere in the Elf Continent, but he also wanted to give a loud slap to the gray dwarf Northern Army Fleet of Durlag's Knee.

He wanted to persuade Roy at first, but then he thought of Roy's mine guards working together with the Siren Legion to clear out the Dark Faceless Legion on the Partington plane. It didn't seem that it would be difficult to deal with the Gray Dwarf Northern Army Fleet...

Roy continued:
"As for these slave-trading imperial merchant ships, after losing the protection of the Northern Fleet, they won't be able to easily cross the Mensa Strait. Even if any merchant ships successfully enter the west coast of Dulag, I will bring people to chase them back."

Seeing the fiery look in Roy's eyes, Captain Jeroin felt that the group of imperial merchants who were forced to choose a team might have made a wrong decision this time.

……

The sea breeze blew up the gauze curtains, allowing Wendy, who was lying on the rattan chair, to hear a familiar sound of footsteps.

She was only wearing a cool nightgown and was barefoot, with nothing underneath. Her plump breasts formed a perfect outline, but they were slightly tilted outwards and had no cleavage at all.

Although this place is close to the sea, no elves ever dare to disturb her, so she dares to take a nap on the cool terrace.

It is summer in Kui Island now. Even the sea breeze is hot and dry. At this time, taking a shower, changing into a loose nightgown and taking a nap in a rattan chair under a coconut tree is definitely a very enjoyable thing.

Even when she was at home before, Wendy had never enjoyed this...

Sabrina and Miss Moira had returned from outside, but they both washed and changed into clean clothes and hurried out.

Boss Roy never showed up.

She prepared lemon tea, fruit and fresh sea fish, waiting for Roy to come back so that she could serve him one of his favorite dishes.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Wendy sat up from the rattan chair and saw Boss Roy, wearing a magic pattern suit, pushing the door and walking into the living room. She hurried in and helped him take off the magic pattern suit and hung them on the wooden rack one by one.

This magic pattern set has very complicated magic patterns inside, so even though the magic pattern set has a faint smell of sweat, Wendy dare not scrub it, and even if she wipes it lightly, she is very careful...

Every time at this time, she had the urge to learn magic knowledge, even if it was the simplest magic pattern array maintenance course.

"Give me a glass of water and prepare something to eat. I'm going to take a shower first. Please find me a set of clean clothes and leave them outside the door."

Roy said as he walked towards the bathroom.

He also placed all the dirty clothes that had been stored in his magic waist bag for a long time in the basket at the bathroom door. He didn't know how long they had been accumulated, but the entire willow basket was full.

For Roy, having such an elf maid at home is actually quite convenient.

At least I could prepare some simple meals for him, do some housework, etc...

Moreover, this wood elf beauty is very pleasing to the eyes, the kind of beauty that makes you feel better just by looking at her...

Wendy followed behind Roy and quickly replied:

"Okay, boss."

She started calling Sabrina, Moira, and Roy 'Masters', but Roy said she was brainwashed by the slavers and insisted she call him 'Boss'. Wendy found Roy's change of clothes in the closet and placed them on the shelf by the bathroom door.

She put the pile of clothes that Roy had taken out into the big wooden basin. Before pouring clean water into the basin, she even put her head close to the clothes to smell the sweat on the clothes, and then closed her eyes and imagined some heart-pounding scenes.

Then, with a red face, he poured a bucket of water into the basin.

All the elven women on the island of Que were talking about Boss Roy, and the one that everyone envied the most was Miss Moira, who was the most beloved person.

Recently on Kui Island, there have been magic airships flying out of the portal.

She knew something big was going to happen on the island, but she didn't know what it was, so she could only wait quietly at home...

Wendy carried the wooden basin to the clothesline next to the terrace, then hurried into the kitchen, brought the prepared lemon tea to the bathroom door and placed it on the wooden shelf.

This wooden rack has five layers in total. The top layer has folded clean towels, the second layer has clean clothes, the third layer has lemon tea, and the bottom layer has fruit plates and elf cookies...

In fact, she wanted to send these things inside, but Roy had refused before, so now they were placed on the shelf at the door.

Wendy sighed softly, then walked out to the terrace to do the laundry.

……

A group of half-elf officers were waiting on the beach outside the cabin, and Wendy looked at them.

A half-blood elf walked out of the crowd, stopped far away, and said to Wendy politely: "We want to see the boss, I wonder if he is free now."

Wendy hesitantly looked inside the cabin, wiped her wet hands, and prepared to go in and talk to Roy.

At this time, I saw the bathroom door being pushed open by a hand.

Roy came out of the living room wearing a light linen robe. His hair was still wet and his skin was slightly red. He was wiping his hair with a dry towel.

Wendy quickly walked over, took the towel from Roy, and stood behind him to help him wipe his hair...

Roy sat casually on the rattan chair on the terrace and took a sip of the slightly sweet lemon tea. He then waved to the group of half-blood elves outside the wooden house, indicating that they could stand under the shade of the coconut tree and talk:
"What do you want from me?"

A group of young half-elves standing under the coconut trees seemed a little restrained. Among these half-elves, some were brought from the Elf Continent by imperial merchant ships, and some were rescued from Prestedon Island in the Lost Sea.

They initially knew little about Roy and the half-elves on Que Island.

Only after they adapted to life on Kui Island did they realize Boss Roy's status on the island.

"Boss, I heard that you are going to go to war... to fight against the gray dwarves. We want to join the war. Can you accept us?"

"Boss Roy, let's go to the military. They said the army has no plans to expand its forces at the moment, so let's wait a little longer."

Roy didn't expect that they came to him just to join the mine guard group.

He said to these young half-blood elves:

"You haven't received any valuable training, so you can't go to the battlefield right now. My mine guard regiment doesn't recruit cannon fodder. Even if you want to join the mine guard regiment, you can't go to the battlefield right away. You have to receive at least half a year of training, and then be assigned some simple tasks such as military garrison. If you perform well within three years, you can apply to join the regular guard regiment of the mine guard regiment."

Roy leaned back in his chair and felt something soft resting on his head.

He didn't notice Wendy dodging behind him, but instead pushed forward, and then secretly enjoyed it with trepidation...

"Joining the training group...that's fine too!"

This group of young half-blood elves said one after another.

Roy nodded and said to them:
"Kui Island will be recruiting new soldiers in a few days, just wait for the news to come out and sign up directly."

"That's great!"

"Okay, Boss Roy..."

A group of young half-blood elves left contentedly...

……

Roy took only a brief rest in the wicker chair on the tree house terrace.

After waking up, he called Woods to go to Partington Island together.

At this time, the tree-lined avenue on Kui Island was not only paved with gravel, but the road was also trampled very hard, and even flatbed trucks could drive on it...

Truckloads of supplies were being transported from the Forest Square to the dock, and Roy walked along the roadside towards the square.

It was exactly the time period to enter Partington Island from Que Island. Roy arrived on time and naturally he and Woods were the first to enter the portal.

Every time I come to the central square of Padstow, the square is filled with a large amount of supplies.

This time, almost all the supplies piled up in the central square were to be placed on the ship. Some half-elf guards saluted when they saw Roy.

Roy and Woods found a carriage on the roadside of the central square and hurried to the military headquarters of the Tree of Life.

This is also the town hall of Padstow. The governor of Padstow, Lesander, works here, and the military and political officer, Helike, stays in the military headquarters of the city security corps all day long...

When Leisander saw Roy and Woods push the door and walk in, he asked:
"What happened?"

Roy sat opposite Lesander and told him about his experience of going to Castletown.

Then he said to the surprised Leisander: "This may be the largest half-elf slave trade in history. This time, not only the gray dwarf bandits and imperial merchants are involved, but even some Silver Moon Elf nobles are involved..."

Lysander stared at Roy and asked:
"So you plan to rescue them?"

Roy replied:
"Ah."

"I plan to mobilize all the magic airships in Partington, form a fleet and head to the Mensa Strait to rescue all those half-blood elves..."
