Chapter 711 712. Eve of the War 3
The warehouse at the Sun Island Bay Pier is filled with a large amount of military supplies shipped from Padstow City.
The dried fish that was originally stored in the Sun Island Bay drying ground is now directly supplied to the headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau. These plateau headhunters usually only eat wild vegetables and animal meat on the plateau. They have never tasted salty fish. Dried fish!
Paired with the dried fruits shipped from Padstow City, it will naturally be delicious.
The headhunter prisoners of war on the plateau couldn't swim. They built arrow tower sentries on the mountains. As long as they sent a team of mixed-blood elves to guard the place where the mountains connected to the inland, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
These headhunter prisoners of war were a little acclimatized after leaving the plateau, but their physiques were very good. After a few days of rest, they quickly adapted to the hot and humid environment of Sun Island Bay.
A magic airship loaded with heavy whaling crossbows successfully arrived at the dock of Sun Island Bay. These heavy whaling crossbows will all be set up on the arrow tower sentries on the mountains outside Sun Island Bay.
In preparation for the war this time, Roy invested almost all the belongings accumulated by the mine guard group.
There are also a large amount of supplies hoarded in Plateau City, Padstow City and Castleton City...
Roy transferred all the gryphon cavalry on the Pagisto Plateau back to Sun Island Bay.
So far, there are nearly two thousand gryphon cavalry hovering in the sky.
Nine magic airships are neatly lined up on the port pier. Each airship now has seven whaling heavy crossbows installed on the deck, one on the bow and three on each side of the ship.
The crossbow arrows used with the whaling giant crossbow are magic crystal arrows purchased from the Magic Guild by Roy using his relationship with the Great Magician Grimes.
In the past few days, Roy has issued notices to the mixed-blood elves in Sun Island Bay every day. The mixed-blood elves can move to the plateau city and move back at any time when the war subsides. The mine guard group will bear this part of the travel expenses, and also A portion of the resettlement allowance will be provided.
However, the mixed-blood elves in the town of Sun Island Bay are relatively optimistic about this war. They do not think that the Faceless Men Legion can invade Sun Island Bay. To say the least, even if the Faceless Men Legion invades Sun Island Bay, then they You can also retreat to the foot of the southern foothills of the Griffin Rampart Mountains.
The mixed elves don’t think that this legion of faceless men can chase them all the way to the foot of the mountain...
……
Hearing that there was going to be a war with the Dark Faceless Men here, Woods also came over from Padstow City.
He broke into Roy's residence and shouted Roy's name.
As soon as Roy got up from the bed, wearing pajamas and yawning, he opened the door of the cabin and saw Woods rushing in front of him from outside and giving him a big hug.
"Hey, Roy, I heard that you are going to fight the Faceless Legion at Sun Island Bay, and I can't sit still anymore."
Woods put his arm around Roy's shoulders, and the two walked into the cabin.
The blanket on the bed was still messy. Roy picked up the teapot, poured a cup of cold fruit tea for Woods, handed it to him and said:
"I was counting on you to refine some more magic potions for me in Castletown City! Why did you come to the Partington plane without even saying hello?"
Woods patted Roy on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, even if I'm not here, the alchemy workshop in Castletown City can still operate normally and can still refine magic potions, but the Partington plane is different. My friends are fighting here, and of course I will too. Come and help.”
Woods stood by the window, from where he could just see the vast sea of Sun Island Bay, and said:
"I heard that you built a city wall here in just two months, and there are hundreds of arrow towers erected on the top of the mountain. Take me to see it sometime."
"So far, there are only seventy, and I don't plan to build any more!" Roy corrected, and then said: "In the afternoon, you can take a supply ship to go there and have a look."
The two were still chatting, and Roy was going to have a sip of morning tea before going to the temporary military headquarters set up by the mine guard group on the dock.
There should be a lot of official business accumulated over there that hasn't been dealt with yet. At this time, a half-blood elf adjutant ran to the door of the cabin panting and reported to Roy in the room:
"Boss Roy, we found many faceless reconnaissance teams in the outer waters of Sun Island Bay. Ms. Zezena has led a group of siren warriors to intercept those faceless teams."
"Ask Captain Tiprado to arrange a squadron of gryphon cavalry for air support!" Roy ordered without hesitation.
Then Roy said to the herald: "Go and ask Kaka to prepare the gryphon. I also want to go ahead to observe the enemy's situation!"
"Yes, Boss Roy!"
The herald received Roy's order and immediately turned around and ran out.
……
Soon Kaka rode a griffin and took Roy into the sky. Due to the emergency, Woods could only be left on the pier on the north coast of Sun Island Bay.
Roy rode Kaka's gryphon across the ringed mountains and found dozens of gryphon cavalry hovering on the outer sea. They were carefully observing the traces of the Dark Faceless Warriors above the sea.
Occasionally, there will be water pillars rising into the sky from the sea. The griffin cavalry need to be extra careful when flying and avoid the water pillars rising into the sky as much as possible.
The Griffin Cavalry discovered several squads of Faceless Men in the waters outside the Bay of Sun Island.
Those faceless warriors all appeared in small groups, like some scouts, but their number was still quite large.
Once they dive into the bottom of the sea, the Griffin Cavalry will have nothing to do with them.
When Roy returned to Sun Island, he happened to see the Siren Zezena crawling out of the sea wet, and a group of Siren warriors followed her ashore one after another.
"Attias said they were the faceless army that captured the North Fjord. I didn't expect them to gather here so quickly." Zezena said to Roy while twirling the seawater from her hair
Roy thought for a moment and said:
"Jie Zena, I will send gryphon cavalry to support you in the air. You can try to lure them to the sea, and then we will work together to give them some color."
Jiezena's eyes lit up, and she turned to the Siren warriors who had just crawled out of the sea and asked:
"Do you still want to take a risk with me?"
A Siren warrior stepped forward and questioned Ze Nahui:
"Leader Jezena, those faceless warriors are extremely powerful in the sea, and their skin is very tough. It is difficult for our harpoon to hurt them..."
"Of course I know they are strong!"
Jiezena looked at the siren warrior and said:
"But so what? Since they will catch up no matter where we escape, then we must face them and find their weaknesses as soon as possible!"
"Whoever wants to come with me, just come here!"
Jiezena said to a large group of Siren warriors.
They were obviously frightened by the Faceless Soldiers. Even when they just went to the outer sea to conduct reconnaissance, they ran back after seeing them from a distance...
