Path of Light.

Chapter 927 926. Blocking Merchant Ships
This group of half-blood elves were brought to the Mensa Strait by the imperial merchants. They still believed that the imperial merchants would send them to Kui Island. It was just that the journey was a bit far, and the merchant ship would have to sail on the sea for a few more days...

Normally everyone is crowded in the cabin, and only in the morning and afternoon do they have a short period of time to go out for some fresh air.

The half-blood elves knew that the ship was almost full of their compatriots, but the half-blood elves living in the cabins on each floor had little communication.

They believed that the imperial merchants would take them to Kui Island, and the most discussed topic in the cabin was that they would be able to live a free life there...

Now the half-elves on the ship finally understood that they had been cheated by the imperial merchants.

Everyone stood on the deck in confusion. The young human in front of them called himself Boss Roy, and behind him followed a large group of half-elf warriors.

These half-elf warriors in silver armor looked at them as if they were fools.

The half-blood elves on the boat could only pretend not to know and avoid their gazes...

"Have you never doubted these Imperials?"

Roy stood at the bow, looking at the densely packed half-elves on the deck, and felt a headache for a moment.

These guys are typical idiots who have to help others count money after being sold...

The half-blood elf standing in the front looked embarrassed.

A half-blood elf said to Roy:

"I've actually thought about it, but they provided us with water and food, and told us that all these expenses would be paid for by Boss Roy in the future, so we didn't have too many concerns..."

Roy was so angry when he heard what he said.

I wondered why these half-blood elves had such shallow eyes. They were fooled into a trance by just giving them some food...

At this time, another half-blood elf was heard saying:
"The Imperials on the ship were quite nice to us. They provided us with two meals a day and also arranged accommodation for us."

The other half-blood elves nodded in agreement...

Roy's eyes went dark. He really had no way of communicating with these half-blood elves.

He loudly questioned the half-blood elves on the deck:
"If they really sell you to the Green Empire in Roland Continent, what will you do?"

The half-blood elves fell silent instantly. They were speechless after being asked by Roy...

But there was no fear on their faces...

The look in his eyes clearly said silently: Once you arrive at Roland Continent, just live there, what else can you do?

They will continue to live in the Green Empire. Maybe life will be a little harder, but they still have to survive.

At this time, Roy asked the half-blood elves on the ship:

"What are your plans now? Do you still want to go to Kui Island to take a look? It may not be as beautiful as the rumors say. The Kui Island you heard about was beautified and imagined by those imperial merchants. In fact, it is just a volcanic island. There is a large tropical rainforest at the southern end of the island that is quite nice."

"Of course I want to go."

Many half-blood elves responded loudly.

……

After Roy rescued the first ship of half-elves in the Mensa Strait, he soon found another imperial merchant ship in the same sea area. This imperial merchant ship was intercepted by Captain Rodhart less than fifty nautical miles away from the Farin Islands.

Sabrina and her griffin cavalry kept the sailboat firmly on the sea, preventing it from moving.

The griffin cavalry in the air held short flying spears in their hands and surrounded the merchant ship, still using rockets to burn the sails, which made the merchant ship completely unable to move. Finally, it was surrounded by the imperial merchant ship that caught up from behind. The imperial crew on the ship immediately ran to the deck and hung a white flag.

When the imperial merchants on the ship saw that the magic airship was chasing them and was full of half-elves, looks of despair appeared on their faces.

The imperial merchants raised their hands and crowded at the bow with a group of imperial crew members...

There are two mercenary groups on board ready to fight to the bitter end...

But when Sabrina landed on the deck with a group of griffin riders, the mercenaries raised their hands and surrendered decisively. Their neat movements seemed as if they had practiced them in advance, and the imperial merchants on the ship were so angry that their livers hurt.

They usually like to brag and talk big, but when the time comes for them to step up, they just surrender.

"Darwin told us that we must not mess with Boss Roy in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. I didn't believe it before, but now I finally know that what Darwin said is true..."

A middle-aged imperial merchant saw the half-elf guards on the ship and said to his fellow merchants with a wry smile.

Some of the imperial merchants did not believe that the half-blood elf guards in front of them were Boss Roy's army. They all said in surprise:

"Impossible, impossible. How dare this elven army chase us to the Mensa Strait? Aren't they worried about encountering the gray dwarfs' northern fleet?"

"These half-elf guards should be the rumored mine guards, right?"

"Are these half-elf guards Boss Roy's army?"

After receiving a positive answer, the imperial merchants huddled in a corner and watched the half-elf guards quickly board the ship.

The mercenaries knelt on the deck one by one and were tied up with hemp ropes by the half-elf guards. Then the half-elf crew members quickly searched the entire merchant ship.

They don't even bother with the Imperial merchants and sailors...

"We must have been intercepted by Boss Roy's army. I opposed this matter when we were in Moyobamba Port. Now they have caught up with us. I want to know what other solutions you have!" the middle-aged businessman continued.

The other merchants in the empire had sad faces and began to complain:

"Old Sanchez, you have a good relationship with Darwin. Can you ask Darwin to help us mediate?"

"What do you want me to say?"

The imperial merchants began to make random suggestions.

"Or we can say that we are actually planning to take a detour to Kui Island..."

"You could say we were coerced by the gray dwarfs' northern fleet. They forced us to lure those half-elves to Durrag..."

"What kind of reason do you think can get us out of this trouble?"

"..."

"Didn't you say that if the half-blood elves caught up with us, the gray dwarfs' northern fleet would help us?"

"Where exactly is the Grey Dwarf fleet now? Where are they?"

"Didn't they say that Boss Roy's mine guards had been defeated by the gray dwarves? Then where did these half-elf guards come from?"

"I think we may have been cheated this time..." A group of imperial merchants were whispering in the imperial language in the corner.

……

After Roy boarded the ship, the first thing he said when he saw these imperial merchants was:

"I'm a little confused. Why did I not perform well enough to make you make such a wrong judgment?"

The imperial merchants begged for mercy, begging Roy to give them another chance.

Roy sat in a reclining chair and said to the group of imperial merchants:
"Since you asked me to give you another chance, I can promise you that. As long as one of you can provide the specific location of other slave ships, I can make your life more comfortable."

"Next, you will go to Kui Island on a merchant ship, and you will serve as laborers in the shipyard on the island..."

Roy then told these imperial merchants a lot about the imperial prisoners of war on Kui Island. These imperial merchants were obviously frightened by what Roy said.

A group of imperial merchants began to consider the days of being coolies on Kui Island, and immediately rushed to report the information of other imperial merchant ships:
"We know, we know where they are!"

"There are some imperial merchant ships around Farin Island. They are gathering there now. If we rush over now, we may be able to find their merchant ships..."

Roy took out a notebook and a pencil and began to record the information revealed by those imperial merchants. Sure enough, these imperial merchants communicated with each other.

According to the imperial merchants on this ship, there are more than a dozen imperial merchant ships hiding in the waters of the Farin Islands ahead. They did not go to the Naantali Islands because there are not many supplies on the ship and there is still a long way to go.

Originally, these imperial merchant ships could still carry out some material supplies at the port terminal of Durrag's Knee, but now that Durrag's Knee has been caught up in continuous war, the port terminal on Durrag's side can no longer gather enough supplies.

That is why these merchant ships temporarily anchored at Farin Island, waiting for the supply ships to catch up from behind.

After these imperial merchants told him all the information they knew, Roy closed his notebook, rubbed his stiff fingers vigorously, and said to the imperial merchants on the deck:
"Once we get to Kui Island, you will also work in the shipyard."

"If the information you told me is true after verification, I will let you choose some easy jobs based on your good performance here!"

After saying that, Roy stood up and left with the notebook, ignoring the merchants' request to pay the ransom.

The imperial merchants started arguing on the deck again.

……

Roy threw the notebook in his hand to Captain Rodhart and instructed him:
"Rodhart, let's go after the other slave trading ships..."

Rodhart pushed open the door of the captain's room and walked out of the cabin reluctantly, complaining:

"Boss, you should let us take a break. Just look at the bloodshot in my eyes and you will know how long I haven't closed my eyes."

"Rodhart, you can sleep standing up in the captain's room for a while..."

Roy climbed the grid ladder first and said to Rodhart behind him.

The magic airship took off, but did not enter the wind layer. Instead, it relied on its propulsion device to slowly sail towards Farin Island. There were two teams responsible for reconnaissance in the sea area ahead, one was the griffin cavalry flying in the air, and the other was the Siren Raiders lurking in the sea.

The two teams worked together to investigate the whereabouts of the imperial merchant ship in the waters of the Farin Islands...

These imperial merchant ships are so large that it is difficult to hide them completely in the waters of the Farin Islands...

The griffin cavalry could conduct large-scale reconnaissance in the sky. After arriving at the Farin Islands, they immediately discovered two imperial merchant ships docked behind an island.

The Griffin Cavalry quickly surrounded the two imperial merchant ships, and also used the Griffin Cavalry's air advantage to force the merchants, crew members and mercenaries on the imperial merchant ships to go to the deck and surrender to the Griffin Cavalry.

In just one week, Roy led the fleet to search for thirteen imperial merchant ships in the waters of the Farin Islands, all of which were filled with half-elves.

Only the half-blood elves on one imperial merchant ship knew the cruel news that they were about to be sold. Their situation was much worse than that of the half-blood elves on other merchant ships. They were only provided with one meal a day, and drinking water was also limited...

The half-elves on the other twelve imperial merchant ships, who did not understand their situation, had a more comfortable life.

There were more than 70,000 half-blood elves on these thirteen imperial sailing ships. Roy was shocked by this number at first...

The reason why these imperial merchant ships failed was that they had no anti-aircraft means. As long as they encountered griffin cavalry, they would decisively choose to surrender.

Roy sent out two magic airships to serve as resting platforms for the griffin cavalry.

After completing their mission, they would quickly return to the deck of the magic airship to rest. Once their bodies were fully recovered, they would quickly engage in the next battle.

After being intercepted and captured by Roy, these imperial merchant ships will all sail to Kui Island.

It's just that the roles on the merchant ship were reversed this time...

The half-elf crew drove the imperial sailing ship at full speed to Que Island...

The captives held in the cabins became imperial merchants and crew members.

The imperial merchants trapped in the cabins began to become anxious at this time. They became restless and angry, and often went crazy in the rooms.

Some half-blood elves were very calm. They usually stayed in their rooms anxiously, but when the half-blood elves appeared, they kept communicating with the half-blood elf guards...

Almost every captured imperial merchant offered to pay a ransom for his freedom.

But Roy disagreed with the businessmen doing this.

Finally, Roy was annoyed by the merchants' harassment and couldn't help but say:

"Your sentences will be determined after your crimes are determined..."

This is what Roy said to these Imperial merchants the last time they saw him.

Afterwards, the merchants of the empire boarded merchant ships and sailed to Kui Island...

……

Roy's fleet stayed in the Farin Islands for eleven days, and then continued to rise into the vortex layer and sail northward.

This time, after obtaining reliable information, Roy quickly led the fleet to the Nantalli Islands in the northern waters of the Mensa Strait to intercept the imperial merchant ship that first trafficked in elven slaves.

I heard from the captured imperial merchants that the first batch of imperial merchant ships are currently in the waters around the Naantali Islands.

So Roy did not dare to delay, because if he sailed north from the Nantalli Islands for three weeks, he would reach the west coast of Durrag's Knee.

That place completely belongs to the territorial waters of the gray dwarves...

Roy heard from the imperial merchants that the Nantalli Islands would be the last supply point for merchant ships in the Mensa Strait, and most merchant ships would stop at the Nantalli Islands, so he led the fleet to rush there...
