Path of Light.

Chapter 928 927. The Impossible Boss Roy
After leaving the Farin Islands, the forty magic airships of the mine guard fleet rose into the wind sphere and flew northward to the Nantalli Islands.

Along the way, the fleet did not always travel in the wind layer.

The magic airships that Roy dispatched would leave the wind layer and hide above the clouds, and then he would send out a large number of griffin cavalry to search for sailboats over this sea area.

The elves' ships basically do not go to the Mensa Strait. The only ships that can appear in this sea area are the three-masted sailing ships of the Gray Dwarf Northern Army and the merchant ships of the Green Empire. These ships are the main targets of the mine guard fleet.

Therefore, as long as the griffin riders spotted a sailboat on the sea from high in the sky, they would fly over to investigate without hesitation.

Along the way, they did not encounter any three-masted sailing ships of the Gray Dwarf Northern Army Fleet, but they did encounter many imperial merchant ships along the way.

Griffin cavalry descended from the sky. These imperial merchant ships that sold half-blood elves had almost no resistance to the griffin cavalry in the air...

By the time the magic airship landed on the sea, the battle here was over.

The griffin cavalry were also very experienced. As long as the magic airship did not land on the sea, they would hover in the sky and would never land on the deck of the merchant ship, not even if the crew on the merchant ship raised the white flag and summoned all personnel to the deck.

While waiting for the magic airship to land in the sea, the two large ships came together, and the half-elf guards climbed up the grid ladder to board the imperial merchant ship, guarded the imperial merchants and crew members separately, and then dealt with the mercenary group on the merchant ship separately.

Only then will the griffin cavalry land on the deck of the merchant ship...

When dealing with these mercenary groups on merchant ships, few mercenary groups will fight to the end.

Of course, there were some outliers. The merchants and crew members surrendered, but the mercenaries stayed in the cabin below the deck and fought desperately.

At this time, Sabrina will lead the Griffin Riders to suppress these mercenary group members...

If the opponent resists fiercely, a magic signal will be sent to call Roy and Jie Zena.

At present, the mine guards have so many second-level strongmen, so it is quite easy to deal with a mercenary group of no more than a hundred people.

In order for the Siren Corps to be able to move together with the fleet, all the Siren warriors boarded the magic airship when leaving the Farin Islands.

Along the way, Zeena and Olive worked with Sabrina to sweep up the Imperial merchant ships they met along the way...

Along the way, a total of thirty-seven imperial merchant ships were detected by the Griffin Riders, but half of them were merchant ships trafficking in half-elves, and the rest were almost all engaged in the business of magical herbs.

Roy let all the imperial merchant ships doing legitimate business leave normally.

But the merchant ships that trafficked in half-elves were not so lucky. With the surveillance of the griffin cavalry, these merchant ships could not escape in the vast ocean...

The merchants on the ship never imagined that Boss Roy would lead his fleet to the Mensa Strait just for these half-elves.

……

The merchants of the Empire were also filled with despair when they saw those magic airships falling from the sky...

In fact, everyone was wrong. In the battle plan of the Gray Dwarf Northern Fleet, they sent an invincible fleet of 200,000 Gray Dwarf warriors to Kui Island, determined to wipe out the tens of thousands of half-blood elves on Kui Island.

Everyone felt that Boss Roy would not be able to withstand this heavy blow from the Gray Dwarf Northern Army Fleet.

That's why the merchants had evil intentions. Under the instigation of the gray dwarves, they used Roy's name to trick the half-elves onto the ship in the elven kingdom.

But no one thought that the gray dwarves lied about this matter, or that they didn't do it at all...

Moreover, they did not inform the imperial merchants of the news of the defeat in a timely manner. This was the most fatal thing for these imperial merchants.

No one knew that the mine guard fleet on Kui Island had time to deal with them.

Roy happened to discover this incident when he went to Castleton Harbor to discuss the opening of the route...

So, when these imperial merchants stood on the roof of the ship and saw the griffin cavalry descending from the sky, they collapsed on the roof on the spot.

No matter which imperial merchant ship it was, facing the magic airship with griffin cavalry on this vast ocean, the only way was to surrender. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to...

There were magic airships and griffin cavalry in the sky, and siren warriors in the sea chasing and intercepting the imperials who wanted to escape in lifeboats.

On an imperial merchant ship, Roy saw a familiar face. He was an imperial merchant who had done magic herb business in Castletown Harbor and had purchased many magic potions and magic herbs from the alchemy workshop.

I didn't expect that he would also be involved in this slave trade...

Roy was a little confused, so he squatted in front of the imperial businessman, frowned and asked him:
"Is it impossible to make money in the magic herbal medicine business in the Elf Kingdom?"

"They all said you were isolated in the Partington plane."

The imperial merchant leaned against the railing of the ship in a very decadent manner, and said bitterly:

"Without the large inventory of magic herbs from the Partington plane, we can only collect scattered magic herbs from everywhere. It is almost difficult to gather a shipload of goods in a month."

"Later, some people said that you led your fleet into the Endless Sea and were hunted down by the Gray Dwarf Northern Army Fleet. We have seen the Gray Dwarf Northern Army, and everyone said that you could not survive the encirclement of the Northern Army Fleet..."

"We traffic in half-blood elves. In fact, in addition to the support of the gray dwarves, the Silver Moon Elf nobles also opened some convenient doors for us in the Elf Kingdom..."

"Those guys made us feel like trading slaves was like picking up money. It was even more profitable than trafficking in magic herbs. I was also blinded by the huge profits at the time..."

"This incident has even become a trend in the ports of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. Whenever our merchant ships dock, half-blood elves will take the initiative to wait at the port, and everyone will ask us if we want to send them to Kui Island."

"Just say a few words to them, and they will happily come aboard with their families."

Roy pressed his forehead. He didn't expect that the matter he had casually asked the imperial businessman Darwin to do would turn out like this.

After the Empire businessman calmed down a little, Roy asked him again:
"You transport these half-blood elves to the Green Empire. Do you think it will make more money than magic herbs?"

"certainly……"

"These half-blood elves are very popular in the Green Empire. Male elves are cheaper in the Green Empire, but no matter how cheap they are, an elf with a lifespan of 800 years is still very valuable. Buying one can become a witness to the family's history. The price is at least 30 magic crystals or more."

"Female elves are more expensive, usually fifty magic crystals or more. If they are virgins, the price will be doubled. The Green Empire highly respects elf culture."

"A shipload of half-elves like this is worth at least 200,000 magic crystals, which is more profitable than magic herbs."

"The main thing is that you don't need to deposit any capital, it's all free."

"Although everyone knows that slave trading is a bad thing, everyone is doing it, so I got tempted to do it too."

"..."

Roy was speechless. The ship that caught up with him in the middle of the Mensa Strait was obviously the group of merchants who took action earlier.

None of these imperial merchants are innocent.

Since they were involved in this matter, once they were caught, they would have to endure the subsequent trial...

The imperial merchants and crew members will stay on Kui Island first. After Roy finishes dealing with things in the Mensa Strait, he will put all the imperial merchants on trial.

As for the mercenary groups, Roy planned to take them to the Partington plane first. To develop unknown areas in the Partington plane, some adventurers were needed.

These mercenary groups are obviously very suitable for this task...

……

After a group of griffin riders left the magic airship, they flew directly through the clouds and headed southwest.
When this magic airship was speeding through the wind layer, a crew member spotted a small white dot on the sea that looked like a sailboat...

So the magic airship decisively descended from the wind layer, hovered above the clouds, and sent out griffin cavalry to search towards the location where the sailboat was found.

The griffin cavalry on this magic airship was led by Kaka. They flew less than three kilometers to the southwest and found a row of three-masted sailing ships on the sea below. There were five three-masted sailing ships in total. The lookout standing on the bow watchtower was a dark-skinned gray dwarf.

Seeing the gray dwarf warships, Kaka immediately called on all the griffin cavalry to rush above the clouds.

Kaka then brought this amazing discovery to the magic airship.

The magic airship released three magic flares above the clouds.

The flare exploded in the sky, and the magical glow could be heard far away even in the glaring sunlight...

In this situation, the magic airship sailing in front definitely has no way to turn back. This magic flare can only attract the magic airship following behind.

Kaka was very lucky this time, as the Black Pearl, which Roy was on, was right behind them.

Soon, eight magic airships gathered above the clouds.

There were large patches of fish-scale clouds in the sky over this area. The magic airship was hidden in the clouds, and the three-masted sailing ship on the sea was not visible at all...

Those griffin riders were also very tiny black dots in the sky.

Now that they have encountered the Northern Army fleet of the Gray Dwarves in the vast ocean, there is no way they will be let go.

Roy quickly developed a simple and crude battle plan.

There is no need to make any preparations to attack these ships at sea from the air...

Eight magic airships descended directly from the clouds to the sea.

These magic airships blocked the five warships. They were suspended in the air at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters. The half-elf crew members were now covered with rainproof cloths of the whale-hunting crossbows and taking out the magic ice arrows from the magic-sealing box.

The half-elf crew members operating the whale-hunting crossbows had all participated in the naval battles on the Partington plane, and they could hit the Dark Faceless Warlords.

These more clumsy Imperial merchant ships, unable to make evasive maneuvers, were easier to aim at.

The first salvo of eight magic airships froze the hulls of three three-masted sailing ships.

In an instant, the hull was covered with a large amount of frost and snow...

The three-masted sailing ship behind them hurriedly changed their course, but how could they escape in this situation? Soon the second round of concentrated fire froze their ships on the sea.

Then in the third round of concentrated shooting, it was changed to explosive arrows.

These explosive arrows landed on the sails and instantly set them on fire.

As the magic airships continued to land, the half-elf guards on the side of the ship fired waves of arrows.

At this moment, there was no trace of the gray dwarf warriors on the deck covered with ice and snow...

A large number of griffin cavalry were also circling in the sky at this time, using short flying spears to kill the gray dwarf warriors on the deck.

For a moment, the gray dwarf warriors on the five three-masted sailing ships were completely stunned by the half-blood elf guards on the magic airship that fell from the sky. These gray dwarf warriors had no idea how to fight back...

In just over two hours, the battle was over.

The duergar hoisted a white flag on the bow.

Some gray dwarf warriors lowered lifeboats, and then more and more gray dwarves took off their heavy dwarf chain armor and jumped into the sea.

The siren warriors on the magic airship also appeared at the side of the ship at this time.

They jumped into the sea from high altitudes. Due to the super strong physique of the Siren Warriors, they dared to jump from a height of several hundred meters...

In order to pursue the ultimate speed, the Siren warriors stretched out their bodies, turned into blurry thin lines and fell into the sea to chase the gray dwarf warriors who were preparing to escape on lifeboats.

As the gray dwarves on the five three-masted sailing ships raised the white flag of surrender, two magic airships fell into the sea and slowly approached their three-masted sailing ships.

The half-elf guards climbed up the grid ladder onto the gray dwarf's three-masted ship.

The deck of the three-masted sailing ship was in a mess, with feather arrows sticking all over the ground. The ice on the deck had not completely melted, and the sails on the three masts had been burned.

The gray dwarf warriors lined up and walked out of the ship's tower. They threw their weapons on the deck, took off their dwarf chain mail, and stood at the bow of the three-masted sailing ship under the command of the half-elf guards.

At this time, the Griffin Cavalry was circling back and forth above the three-masted sailing ship...

The mine guards have fought against the gray dwarves many times in places like the Queen Ivni Islands and the island of Que, and are very familiar with the gray dwarf warriors.

Especially if you accept their surrender and find out their leader, these gray dwarf prisoners will become very obedient.

……

In this kind of battle at sea, Roy would basically not rush to the front.

Only when the gray dwarves surrender will Roy appear on the gray dwarves' three-masted sailing ship to accept the surrender of the other commander.

According to the opposing commander, they belonged to the 12th Patrol of the 7th Fleet of the Gray Dwarf Northern Army.

The five three-masted sailing ships were all equipped with cannons and crossbows, with two cannons at the bow and stern, and twelve crossbows on the left and right sides of the ship.

These three-masted sailing ships are clearly extremely powerful against other ships at sea...

But when they faced the magic airship, their artillery and crossbows didn't even have enough elevation angle to shoot into the sky, and they couldn't hit the magic airship in the sky at all.

The gray dwarf warriors on the ship were also equipped with flintlock magic muskets, but their decks were blocked by magic crystal arrows that fell from the sky. These gray dwarf musketeers had no chance to fight back and were all captured by the half-elf guards.

When the red-bearded gray dwarf commander heard Roy say his name, his eyes seemed to pop out of his sockets and he shouted:

"That's impossible! How could Boss Roy appear in the Mensa Strait?"
