Path of Light.

Chapter 952, Section 951: Cleaning Up the Mess
When Roy led Woods and Kaka off the Black Pearl, the half-elf guards had already established a foothold on the north side of the harbor.

A large number of armored half-elf guards stood on the battlefield, forming a silver shield wall. Behind them, half-elf warriors wielded spears and greatswords, piercing the bodies of the grey dwarf warriors who tried to charge forward.

As the grey dwarf warriors fell, the half-elf guards moved forward, stepping over their corpses.

A barrage of arrows rained down from the sky in parabolic arcs, and most of the gray dwarf warriors crowded on the dock were not wearing armor.

Even if they could temporarily petrify their bodies, they wouldn't be able to withstand the constant barrage of arrows for long.

Arrows pierced the bodies of the gray dwarf warriors, not fatally, but they still rendered them incapable of fighting...

When the half-elf guards saw Boss Roy personally step down from the Black Pearl and stand on the dock to oversee the battle, their morale soared. They continued to shrink the area controlled by the gray dwarves on the port dock, driving a large number of gray dwarves toward the south side of the dock.

The half-elf guards were finally able to form their square formation on the docks. At the very front stood a group of heavily armored guards wielding elven longswords and iris shields. Behind them were sword dancers wielding longswords, followed by spearmen wielding spears. Behind the spearmen was a row of rangers wielding hunting bows, and behind these rangers were archers wielding longbows…

A group of human priests from the Knights Templar stood at the very back of the column. These priests needed to continuously cast blessing spells on the elven warriors in front and use holy light to heal the wounded elven warriors, ensuring that they could still maintain a certain level of combat strength even when injured...

In fact, this formation of the half-elf guards was the first time they had tried it. When they fought against the Highland Headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau, the priests of the Templar Order had not yet joined them. Later, when they fought against the Dark Faceless Legion in the western sea of ​​the Partington Plane, the half-elf guards were mostly on the ships, and the Siren Legion was the main force on that battlefield...

Now that the mine defenders are attacking Ruyun Fortress, they can finally deploy this offensive formation.

In the chaos of the night, most of the gray dwarf warriors hadn't had time to put on their armor. Now, armed with weapons, they were no match for the mine guards' advance.

Hidden in the shadows, Lia and Moira are also secretly helping the half-elf guards who have been driven into danger by the gray dwarf warriors.

During the daytime, as assassins, it would be difficult for them to make any significant impact on this battlefield at the docks.

If these gray dwarf warriors were wearing heavy armor, their weapons would be unable to pierce it, rendering them equally ineffective...

But now is precisely the time when the two can unleash their strongest power. Lya, moving in the darkness, is like a light mist drifting in the wind, and can disappear in the blink of an eye.

Moira and Lia have different fighting styles. Moira is like a nimble and agile night leopard, with extremely fast pounces and dodges. She only hides her whereabouts when she pounces into the shadows.

The two also used different approaches when dealing with the gray dwarf warriors.

Leah grew up in the wanderer camp in the Darklands, following the natural law of survival of the fittest. If she could kill her opponent, she would never give them any chance to breathe. Her movements in battle were clean and swift. Almost all the gray dwarf warriors she killed had their throats slit or their hearts pierced.

Although Moira is as fierce as a night-blade panther when fighting, she rarely kills people on her own initiative. She almost always moves on to the next target after rendering her opponent unable to resist.

Most of the half-elf guards in the mine's guard regiment knew Moira. When she fought, the half-elf guards around her would do their best to create opportunities for her to escape. Therefore, on the battlefield, the gray dwarf warriors rarely posed a threat to Moira.

In an instant, the entire dock battlefield became extremely chaotic.

At this moment, Woods transformed into a giant bear, charging at the forefront of the army with his massive physique.

Roy, on the other hand, stood at the rear of the army formation, intending to use the Sacred Tree to restore the holy light power to the human priests behind the formation...

These half-elf guards were able to fight the strong gray dwarf warriors to a standstill entirely because the half-elf warriors were filled with the power of a blessed aura.

The half-elf guards had completely overwhelmed the gray dwarf warriors of the northern fleet on the battlefield, and the scales of victory began to tip in favor of the elven army.

At the same time, the Aries orc warriors swooped down from the cliff top, practically sweeping away all the gray dwarves living on the cliff...

These Aries orc warriors were significantly stronger than the gray dwarf warriors, mainly because the orc warriors were much stronger. These orc warriors were all wearing magical armor forged by the Pagestor Plateau Forge, making it much easier for them to deal with the hastily engaged gray dwarf warriors.

Moreover, the Aries orc warriors and the mixed-race elves on the docks formed a pincer movement against the gray dwarves in Luyun Fortress, causing the gray dwarf warriors to retreat in defeat.

Surrounded by a group of grey dwarf guards, the Levent Legion Commander retreated to the supply warehouse at the dock. There, they gathered a group of grey dwarf warriors and, taking advantage of the easily defensible terrain of the warehouse, resisted the white sheep orc warriors who kept attacking from the outside.

Knowing that this was the supply depot of Luyun Fortress, the Aries tribe did not want the mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard to participate in the battle here; they preferred to obtain all the supplies in the depot...

Of course, this was agreed upon before the raid on Luyun Fortress. The Aries Orc tribe hoped to occupy Luyun Fortress and obtain all the resources inside.

Roy, on the other hand, needed to deal with all the fleets at the docks on Lu Yun's waist. He couldn't allow this Northern Army fleet to escape into the Mensa Strait, otherwise the western coastline of the Mensa Plain might be torn to shreds by these gray dwarves.

The dividing line between the Aries orc warriors and the half-elf guards of the mines is the port and dock line. The battlefield for the mine guards extends outwards towards the sea...

So after Roy and his mine guards gained a certain advantage at the dock, they turned their attention to the three-masted sailing ships that were moored at the dock and unable to leave the shore.

This is the first time tonight that Sabrina's Griffin Cavalry and Zephyr's Siren Raid have cooperated closely.

As the griffin riders unleashed their 'Iron Will' to storm the deck of the three-masted sailing ship, a large number of siren warriors bravely climbed onto the bow from both sides of the ship. At the same time, the deep-sea behemoth hidden on the seabed extended countless tentacles out of the water, tightly binding some three-masted sailing ships that were trying to escape the battlefield.

For the first time, Zephyr discovered that griffin riders could not only fight in the air, but also act as a raiding force to attack ships at sea...

A large number of griffin riders crashed down like meteorites, naturally smashing the three-masted sailing ships to pieces, while the magic airships in the sky were also searching for targets and destroying them with magic crossbow bolts.

Roy, with Woods, kept ramming the three-masted sailboats approaching the dock, clearing out all the gray dwarf warriors who were still putting up a fight on these sailboats.

The grey dwarf warriors of the Northern Fleet were trapped on a three-masted ship, and in the end, those who did not want to die had no choice but to surrender...

The fierce battle lasted all night. All the three-masted sailing ships on the dock were captured by the mine guards, and more than a dozen that tried to break through the encirclement and escape to the sea were destroyed by the griffin riders and siren warriors. Two Poseidon warships crashed near the dock, now reduced to two enormous ruins, their wreckage still ablaze with intense flames, and thick smoke rising from the sea…

These flames even boiled the surrounding seawater, and a large amount of water vapor, along with thick smoke, shot into the sky, forming an extremely large and dense column of smoke that reached straight into the clouds.

Last night, the commander of the Coster Legion was killed by the combined efforts of Zezena and Sabrina. The entire naval fleet was now leaderless, and the corpses of many gray dwarf warriors floated on the sea, attracting hundreds of sharks to swim in the surrounding waters.

Many more grey dwarf warriors chose to surrender, while some abandoned ship and fled to the docks, where they were incorporated into the counter-offensive army by Commander Levent.

These gray dwarf warriors held the supply warehouse of Luyun Fortress. The white sheep orcs launched dozens of attacks outside the supply warehouse, but unfortunately, they were unable to break through the gray dwarf warriors' defenses.

A bright band appeared on the sea surface, the color of the sky began to fade, and the surrounding scenery became clearer.

The Luyun Fortress was littered with the corpses of gray dwarf warriors, and the ships on the sea were also in ruins. Of the original eighty-odd three-masted sailing ships, only twenty-odd remained. The rest either sank to the bottom of the sea or burned to ashes, leaving only some wreckage on the sea.

Roy captured nearly seven thousand grey dwarf warriors aboard the three-masted ships, and they will travel to Quel'Thalas with these captured ships...

The Siren warriors were not resting at this time. They were searching for valuable items from the ruins of the sunken three-masted sailing ships and the Sea Emperor's giant ship. The Siren warriors were going to transport these spoils to the three-masted sailing ships that had not sunk.

These spoils of war, along with the grey dwarf prisoners of war, will be transported to Quel'Thalas...

……

As agreed, the half-elf mine guards could only occupy the ships at the port docks of Luyun Fortress...

The military fortress deployed by the Northern Army fleet in Luyun Port will belong to the White Sheep Orc Tribe. Not only this huge seaside fortress, but also all the supplies inside it will belong to the White Sheep Orc Tribe.

The White Sheep tribe had long coveted the supplies in the fortress warehouse...

The battle raged all night long. The Aries orc warriors paid a heavy price, but still failed to capture the supply depot.

The main reason was that the gray dwarf warriors in the warehouse were well-supplied. They wore the finest armor, carried the best weapons, and guarded the warehouse gate, fighting desperately against the orcs. For a time, the white sheep orc warriors had no way to deal with these gray dwarves.

The white sheep orc warrior leader personally organized several attacks until a gray dwarf warrior pierced a huge bloody hole in his shoulder with a spear, at which point he obediently retreated.

The morning sun shone on the cliff top of Luyun Fortress. The White Sheep Clan orc leader stood on the steps, coldly watching the gray dwarf warriors in heavy armor at the warehouse entrance.

The other Aries warriors were sitting on the still slightly damp bluestone floor of the dock, stuffing themselves with some grass cakes.

At this moment, Roy led a group of priests from the dock. The mine guards were taking in the gray dwarf prisoners of war. Roy and the priests came to the leader of the white sheep orcs, mainly to treat the wounded white sheep orc warriors.

When Roy explained his purpose, the orc chieftain looked at him with some surprise. He hadn't expected Roy to be so generous as to help them treat the wounded.

The wounded Aries orc warriors were carried to the top of the cliff by their companions. The trading market had a large flat area where the wounded orc warriors lay.

With Roy's sacred tree replenishing their holy light, the priests didn't worry about the consumption of holy light. They were almost all doing their best to cast holy light spells to heal the more seriously injured Aries orcs...

It must be said that these orc warriors are physically very strong. The priests can often use a single holy light spell to make an orc warrior with a broken leg stand up again.

Seeing that Roy and the human priests had healed more than two hundred wounded orc warriors in a short period of time, the white sheep orc leader finally lowered his guard and gave Roy a grateful smile.

He strode forward, grasped Roy's hands firmly, and spoke a string of orcish words.

The orc guide, Saire, who was following Roy, translated for Roy:

"Our leader is expressing his gratitude to you for what you did for these wounded Aries orcs..."

"Tell the leader that this is what we, as allies, should do. If there is anything else needed, please let us know, and we will definitely help if we can."

Roy smiled faintly and replied.

"The chieftain said that if possible, he would like to borrow the fire magic from last night to bombard the gate of this supply warehouse. The gray dwarves inside refuse to surrender, and these white sheep orcs are also losing patience."

Saire whispered to Roy.

"Tell him it's okay!"

Roy agreed without hesitation.

As dawn breaks, the orcs around the fortress will soon gather to watch the spectacle.

The Aries tribe didn't want to be mocked by the other tribes of beastmen, so they needed to end the battle here as soon as possible.

Instead of bringing over the magic airship, Roy had the half-elf guards remove a giant whaling crossbow from the ship and fix it directly to the dock forty meters away from the supply warehouse. Four whole boxes of magic crossbow bolts were placed next to the giant whaling crossbow.

Once everything was ready, the half-elf guard installed a giant crossbow with a 'magma boulder' attached into the crossbow's groove.
