Chapter 699 700. The Earl's support
After the magic airship arrived in Padstow City, in order to avoid the onlookers and commotion of the mixed elves, Roy got off the ship first and left through the employee passage of the airport terminal.
Roy's friends went directly to the Central Square, and from there arrived at the town of Partington Island through the portal, and then took a boat back to Castletown City. Because Claire was there, it was estimated that they would be there along the way. Everything will be unobstructed, and the Silver Moon Elf nobles still have some privileges.
There was a carriage parked on the roadside behind the airport terminal. Roy stood next to the carriage, looking at the empty carriage, and tapped the glass window with his fingers. Then the carriage driver, stunned, opened the door and walked into the carriage. He sat down and gave the address of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters to the coachman.
Although the coachman was waiting for other elf patrons here, he did not dare to refuse Boss Roy, so he sent Roy directly to the small square in front of the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters...
Roy stepped off the carriage. When the mixed elves in the small square saw Roy's figure, they all saluted him with their attention...
Roy was still a little not used to it, so he simply looked at the people in the square. The mixed-blood elves waved their hands and quickly walked into the military headquarters.
The mixed elves in the square let out a low cry, and everyone was shouting 'Boss Roy'.
Roy walked into the hall on the first floor of the military headquarters without looking back. The hall seemed a little noisy. Roy went directly to the front desk of the hall and asked the elf receptionist:
"Berkeley Is the president here? ”
The elves in the front lobby naturally knew Roy, and they quickly said: "The president happened to be here."
"Please inform me, saying that I want to see him, there is something urgent!"
< br>Roy said seriously to the elf woman.
After waiting for a short while, the adjutant next to Berkeley appeared in the lobby on the first floor. He very diligently took Roy to the office of Governor Berkeley.
Berkeley was sitting in the main seat in the conference area, talking to a dozen elf officers...
Roy was sitting in the rest area, too far away, so Roy couldn't hear what they were saying, but Berkeley's face was serious, and a group of elf officers also sat upright.
Not long after, Chief Berkeley ended the meeting, and the elf officers left Chief Berkeley's office holding documents.
Before leaving the office, they all secretly looked towards the rest area.
Roy sat leisurely on the sofa, holding a cup of warm fruit tea and drinking it with relish.
Berkeley walked to the opposite side of Roy, sat down with a smile, and said to Roy: "Roy, why do you have time to come to my place today? I thought you would be busy for a while before you could have time. Rest time! ”
Roy put down the teacup in his hand, bumped fists with Berkeley, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"This time I am going to Queen Egwene Island to meet Lord Swinburne. I happened to pass by Padstow City, so I came to see you!" Roy said casually. "How is the situation here in Padstow City?"
Berkeley scratched his hair with his hands, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, and then said:
"What's going on these days?" For some time, there were still many mixed-blood elves with radical ideas making declarations of independence in Padstow City, but they only gave very short speeches in a small square and had little impact on the mixed-blood elves residents in the city..."
After finishing speaking, Berkeley added with a smile:
"The current craze in the city is to go to the Plateau City to pan for gold."
Berkeley then chatted with Roy about the recent development of the Partington plane.
Currently, the development speed of Padstow City cannot keep up with the increase in the population of the mixed elves, so all resources in the city have become very tight.
Fortunately, a large number of mixed-blood elves went to the plateau city, which slightly alleviated the dilemma of insufficient public resources in the city after the sudden growth of Padstow City.
Berkeley then told Roy that the Elf Council of Elders in the Royal Capital of Buenos had not stopped investigating Roy. It had lasted for nearly four years so far, and it seemed that a group of investigators had entered recently. In the Partington plane, they did not contact the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, and they were obviously preparing to conduct a secret investigation in the Partington plane.
A message came from Earl Swinburne. He hoped that Roy could stay at Pagisto Plateau and it was best not to wander around at this time.
Roy also looked helpless. The investigators from the Buenos Elf Council of Elders were like a group of smelly flies, always surrounding him and unable to get rid of them.
He led the mine guard regiment to garrison the Dark Gate in Golfito Canyon. His ears had been clean for more than a year, and now they are here again...
"Why are they still here?" Roy said with a grimace.
Chief Berkeley: "It is said that a certain noble dug out your information and threw it at the quarterly summary meeting of the Council of Elders."
"..."
Roy was speechless, and then he whispered something into Chief Berkeley's ear.
“This time I came here, and I also brought some bad news: this time when I led the mine guard group to explore the western sea along the Sun Island Bay, I discovered the Dark Faceless Legion there. They are currently fighting the Kraken Legion in the western sea. The Kraken Legion is no match for those Dark Faceless Men!”
Chief Berkeley looked at Roy in stunned silence, not knowing what to say for a moment! .
……
After Roy met with Captain Berkeley in Padstow City, he arrived at Partington Island through the portal. More than half of the ships at the dock at Partington Island were transporting supplies for the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. ship, so after Roy revealed his identity, he easily boarded a material transport ship to the Queen Egwene Islands.
Every day, ships go from Partington Island to the Queen Egwene Islands, mainly to transport some living supplies to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, such as fresh fruits that are not available on the islands.
The medium-sized sailing ship Roy is traveling on is a special ship for transporting berries. This ship is very fast and always chooses to set sail in the evening...
The captain of the medium-sized sailing ship He was a Silver Moon elf who worked in the logistics department of the 17th Silver Pegasus Military Department. He heard that Roy was on his ship and specially set aside a cabin for Roy to rest.
The sea breeze is lighter at night and the sea is calmer. The medium-sized sailboat sails very smoothly on the sea.
It was a bit stuffy in the cabin, so Roy walked to the deck to enjoy the cool breeze. When he saw the captain standing on the roof of the ship building observing the star map, he asked him: "Why do you choose to go to sea at night?"
“Commander Roy, there have been frequent incidents around the Queen Egwene Islands recently. Some gray dwarf ships have been discovered. Once they discover our transport ships, these bandits will fill up their sails and catch up. Speaking of which... in the past two months, four medium-sized transport ships have been intercepted by gray dwarf bandits. "The Silver Moon Elf captain said with a sigh.
“Sailing at night can avoid the group of gray dwarf bandits. As long as you don’t deviate too far from the route, there will be no danger.”
“Have the group of gray dwarf bandits come back again?” Roy asked.
"Yeah, I really don't understand why these guys always miss our Queen Evanee Islands..." Captain Silver Moon Elf said with some distress.
"I heard privately that some people said that the homeland of the gray dwarves was occupied by other races, so they chose to take a boat south to find some livable islands to settle down." The first mate on the ship poked his head from the cabin and said casually. .
The elf captain said to Roy: "We are currently in the preparation stage. The sea blockade of the Gray Dwarf bandits is not so strict. We must take advantage of this moment to transport more supplies to the island..."
The medium-sized sailing ship sailed on the sea all night. After dawn, Roy found that the medium-sized sailing ship had passed through the outer area of the Queen Ewinnie Islands safely.
These gray dwarf bandits are really difficult to deal with... The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion successfully drove them away last time. The gray dwarf bandits also lost their troops and their vitality was severely damaged. Unexpectedly, after two days, Year, this group of gray dwarf bandits actually made a comeback again.
Roy is looking forward to the appearance of gray dwarf bandits in the Queen Egwene Islands...
His magic airship fleet was recaptured from the gray dwarf bandits. If there is still a chance to come to the Queen Egwene Islands to participate in the battle this time, Roy is prepared to seize a few more three-masted sailing ships to expand the size of his magic airship fleet. .
Thinking of this, Roy stood on the roof of the ship and looked around. Unfortunately, he stood on the ship all morning and didn't even see the gray dwarf robber.
......
Queen's Island is the largest main island in this archipelago. There is a Tree of Life on the island, and the Silver Pegasus Military Department built on this Tree of Life.
The pier of Queen's Island is also made of wooden boards, but there are also stone foundations at the edge of the pier. There are more than 40 medium-sized sailing boats moored at the port pier, and there are even more flying fish boats. clear.
The medium-sized sailing ship arrived at Queen's Island, and Roy said goodbye to the elf captain, and then went to the military headquarters of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion alone.
In the hall of the legion headquarters, Roy wanted to meet Lord Swinburne, but he didn't expect that such a thing would require an appointment in advance...
The time for the meeting was agreed upon, so what happens next? Just find a place to live on the island and wait quietly.
Roy found a hotel on Queen's Island and stayed on the island.
After only waiting for one day, Roy was informed that he would have half an hour with Earl Swinburne the next morning...
Earl Swinburne's office is on the highest floor of the Tree of Life. When Roy walked into the office, Earl Swinburne was still bowing his head to sign documents.
Remembering the sound of footsteps, Earl Swinburne raised his head. When he saw Roy, he motioned for him to sit aside for a while.
When Earl Swinburne finished signing the last page of documents, he handed all the documents to his assistant, then pointed to the rest area next to him, walked over on his own initiative, and sat down lazily.
Roy followed Earl Swinburne and sat opposite Earl Swinburne.
"Roy, you are too brave. Do you know how many Silver Moon elves are investigating you now?"
Lord Swinburne's first sentence when he sat down startled Roy.
Roy rolled his eyes and looked at Earl Swinburne...
Seeing that there was no fear in Roy's eyes, he tapped Roy's forehead with his finger: < br>
“Do you know how high the pile of personal information and crimes about you is in the filing cabinet of the Council of Elf Elders in Buenos?”
Speaking, Earl Swinburne used his hand to After making some gestures, he said:
"It's my idea to send your mine guards to the Dark Portal Expeditionary Army camp in Golfito Canyon!"
"Originally, I planned to let you wait until the public opinion calms down. Return to the Partington plane, and then manage the Pagisto Plateau honestly."< br>
“But recently, there have been more and more questions about you. Now the investigation orders sent from Buenos will no longer be sent to the Military Department, and there is no need to obtain the Military Department’s Approval..."
Earl Swinburne looked at Roy.
I remember that when I first saw Roy, his face was still very immature. At that time, he was still a student at the Elf Academy...
Now, Roy's face has become slightly more handsome, and it is said that he performed very well at the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp.
The only thing that made Earl Swinburne a little regretful was that Roy was not a Silver Moon Elf. Earl Swinburne said to Roy:
"In the past few days, you have to go back to Pa." Go to the Tinton plane, don’t go anywhere, just keep an eye on Pagisto Plateau, that’s enough.”
Roy could feel the love and care of Earl Swinburne, and he stood up and said to Swinburne. The earl saluted with a military salute and replied loudly:
"Yes, your lord."
"Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me at the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters this time?"
Earl Swinburne sat on the sofa, put his hands on the back of the sofa, and asked very relaxedly .
Roy stood up.
"Your Majesty, Earl, I found traces of the Dark Faceless Legion in the western sea of the Partington plane..."
"...What did you say?"
< br>
The smile on Earl Swinburne's face froze almost instantly. He stood up and strode towards the wall with the map of the Partington plane. His eyes were fixed on the map of the Partington plane, but on that map there was only Pad. The areas of Sto Forest, Pagi Sto Plateau, Sun Island Bay and Western Sea are no longer on the map at all.
He glanced at the map, and then asked Roy: "Where is the Western Sea?"
Roy pointed to the blank spot on the map and said: "The approximate direction... that's about it. Here!”
Then Roy told Count Swinburne how the fleet encountered the Dark Faceless Legion. Count Swinburne listened carefully. At the end, Count Swinburne said to Roy:< br>
"Okay, write a detailed report and give it to me. I will report this matter to the superiors. Now you have to go back immediately and keep an eye on the Dark Faceless Army on the Roland continent. Plane wars occur frequently, and this is the first time that traces of the Dark Legion have been discovered in the Elven Continent, but this deserves our close attention.”
"Your Majesty, Earl, I would like to apply for some more military supplies." Roy said to Earl Swinburne with a smile.
Earl Swinburne nodded very readily and said: "Yes, the Silver Pegasus Military Department also has a procurement quota for military supplies, but you have to pay for the specific costs yourself."
"This I have prepared a sum of military expenses."
"If you need anything, make a list and give it to me," Earl Swinburne said.
“Yes, Lord Earl.”
Roy's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and it could be seen that Earl Swinburne still supported him.
At this time, Earl Swinburne also patted Roy on the shoulder and said to him:
"I have always thought that you are the best among the young elf officers, and I still think so now, Go back to the Partington plane as soon as possible, don’t let me down.”
