Chapter 720 721. The Earl's request
In order to seize some three-masted sailing ships, Roy gave up the magic burst arrows, only leaving the crew on the magic airship unable to use magic crystal arrows.
Roy spent a huge sum of money to purchase these large magic crossbow arrows. Each magic crossbow arrow is worth two magic crystals. The crew can only use the whaling heavy crossbow to aim at the gray dwarf bandits on the ship. This is To hunt down a gray dwarf bandit, Roy needs to at least It costs two magic crystals, which is still the cost of hunting if the shot is successful. If the shot is missed, the cost of hunting will increase exponentially...
But even so, Roy Still insist on letting all the whaling heavy crossbows on the magic airship fire at full speed.
These magic crystal arrows fell on the three-masted sailing ship. All the gray dwarf bandits enveloped in the explosion range almost instantly turned into ice crystals, like crystal statues carved by artists, standing on the three-masted sailing ship.
These gray dwarf bandits made all kinds of moves. Some gray dwarf bandits planned to climb over the side of the ship and jump into the sea. Some gray dwarfs were holding up their shields, preparing to resist the magic crossbow arrows falling from high altitude. Some gray dwarf bandits were horrified. His eyes looked towards the magic airship high in the sky.
The impact of these magic crystal arrows on the gray dwarf bandits is quite big, because the gray dwarves who are good at building various magic machines know these magic crystal arrows very well, and they know how terrifying this thing is. ...
What they couldn't imagine was that the elven military would actually use such expensive magic weapons to shoot ordinary gray dwarves on the three-masted sailboat.
The gray dwarf bandits looked at the sky in despair. At this moment, they even forgot to hide in the cabin below the deck.
What made them even more desperate were the more than 3,000 Silver Pegasus knights in the sky. The short flying spears thrown from their hands fell like raindrops, and some wooden boards that were not too thick would be directly hit. The short flying spear penetrates...
If it were normal times, the Silver Pegasus knights would have long needed to find a desert island to rest due to physical exhaustion.
Even if the Silver Pegasus Knight wants to continue the pursuit, there is no way for the Silver Pegasus Knight to hunt down the gray dwarf bandits without getting any supplies.
But this time it was different. The Silver Pegasus knights got a full rest on the magic airship and received sufficient supplies...
The pursuit pair sailed to Queen Igweni. For the gray dwarf bandits on the edge of the archipelago, it was very sudden. The gray dwarf bandits even thought that they had escaped this time, but they did not expect to be intercepted by the Silver Moon elves again.
They were wearing heavy black iron armor, but they still could not stop the pursuit of the Silver Pegasus Knight...
The gray dwarf bandits tried to escape, but were surrounded and killed by two groups of Silver Pegasus knights, and could not break out of the encirclement.
Eight magic airships floated in the sky. These magic airships lacked sufficient maneuverability and were quickly left behind by the three-masted sailing ships sailing in the sea.
Roy was not in a hurry to catch up, and followed slowly behind to provide supplies to the Silver Pegasus knights.
If it really falls too far, Roy will rise into the corresponding wind flow layer, fly in the wind flow layer for a while and then fall down...
That's it, thirty-three ships Barque on the outskirts of the Queen Evenee Islands After escaping in the sea for a whole day, the Silver Pegasus knights beat all the gray dwarf bandits on the three-masted sailboat so that they did not dare to show their heads. The gray dwarves hid in the cabin, and the Silver Pegasus knights took the opportunity to fly down and use the elves in their hands. The long sword cut off the cables holding the sails on the mast.
A large number of sails piled down one after another, and the three-masted sailing ship lost its traveling power and gradually stopped...
At this time, the Silver Pegasus knights surrounded these three-masted sailing ship in the sky, and Roy's magic The airship fell into the sea and slowly approached these three-masted sailing ships. The mine guards on the ship took out some hooks and let the magic airship approach these three-masted sailing ships filled with short flying spears. Then the mixed-blood elf guards jumped Get on board the barque.
The mixed-blood elf guards wore sophisticated magic armor and held magic weapons. They boarded the ship under the cover of the whaling heavy crossbow and the silver Pegasus knight.
In close combat, the half-blood elves hold elven longbows, and the magic arrows they shoot can penetrate the armor of any gray dwarf bandit.
These elven archers quickly controlled the commanding heights of the ship, and then the mixed elves armed with swords, shields and spears raided the captain's cabin, blocked the deck entrance, and shouted to the gray dwarf bandits in the cabin, as long as the gray dwarf bandits If you are willing to hand over your weapons and surrender, you will guarantee that you will not kill them.
Soon, the gray dwarf bandits who were blocked in the cabin gave up resistance. Wearing only linen underwear, they lined up on the deck, waiting for the half-blood elf guards to collect...
Roy It took nearly three days to complete the collection of thirty-three three-masted sailing ships on the outskirts of the Queen Egwene Islands.
In this way, Roy led the half-blood elf guards to occupy the three-masted sailing ships one after another, and imprisoned the captured gray dwarf bandits in the cabin of the three-masted sailing ship.
Then the mixed elf guards controlled these three-masted sailing ships, changed their routes, and collectively sailed towards Queen's Island...
According to the account records of the army secretary, this time Roy in addition to capturing In addition to the thirty-three three-masted sailing ships, there were nearly 20,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war on board. The captured gray dwarf weapons and armors were piled in all the cabins of the five magic airships.
All the gray dwarf weapons and armor were moved to the magic airship warehouse. Even so, Roy was still a little worried and asked the five magic airships filled with weapons and armor to rise into the sky to prevent these gray dwarf bandits from taking back those weapons and armor.
"Malthus wrote to us and told us about your outstanding performance at the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp. At first we were a little unconvinced, but now it seems that Captain Malthus was definitely too conservative about your achievements. , Captain Roy, I am the First Silver Pegasus Knights. "Chang Joyce, I am very happy to work with you to chase down the gray dwarf bandits. Thank you for providing these help to the Silver Pegasus Knights on the battlefield!"
A Silver Moon Elf Knight wearing a magic pattern construct! He strode up to Roy, reached out his hand, and greeted Roy proactively.
Roy shook hands with him and responded: "Hello, Captain Joyce."
The knights of the two Silver Pegasus Knights were on the three-masted sailboat. The deck was being repaired, and the mixed-blood elf crew took the initiative to find some barley and beans from the cabin and gave them to the Silver Pegasus knights.
As expected, the Silver Pegasus knight fed the horse first, then sat next to him, took out his own marching rations and ate them silently.
The building and the cabin below the shoulders of these three-masted sailing ships are two separate parts. The building has three floors and is built on the three-masted sail deck. The cabin below the deck is divided into three floors and is close to each other. The first level of the deck is the living area for the gray dwarf bandits, the second level is the cargo warehouse, and the third level is the closed cabin used to counterweight the three-masted sailboat.
The hull of this three-masted sailboat is about seventy or eighty meters long and less than ten meters wide. It is definitely a large ship for the elves.
But Roy has seen larger ships in Castletown Port. Almost all of those ships are five-masted sailing ships from the Green Empire, and the hull shape looks flatter.
Driving such a large sailing ship requires ordinary crew members on board to have certain sailing experience.
All the sails of this three-masted sailboat are raised. When the wind is full, the entire hull will tilt to one side, and the hull will be pulled by an invisible force to make a creaking sound. The ship will sail on the sea at extremely fast speeds... …
At this time, the metal collision angle of the bow will always break one wave after another.
A flock of seabirds will also follow the stern of the ship...
...
A week after Roy's magic airship left Queen's Island, it took two The Silver Pegasus Knights successfully arrived at Queen's Island. At this time, Earl Swinburne and Earl Macaulay on Queen's Island had already learned from the report of the Silver Pegasus Knight two days in advance that Roy had won a great victory at sea, and captured all the gray dwarf bandits who ran away. return.
The two earls looked surprised at the time.
None of them thought that the gray dwarf bandits who had troubled the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion for more than half a year would actually be driven away from the mines from the Partington plane after this battle. The guard group completely made dumplings, except for the gray dwarf bandits who died in the battle, almost all the remaining gray dwarves were captured.
When thirty-three three-masted sailing ships approached Queen's Island, the port pier here had been initially sorted out. There were still hills of carbonized rotten wooden boards piled on the pier. Unfortunately, the original pier was burned down in the fire. The entire beach was covered in soot and blood.
The thirty-three three-masted sailing ships captured by Roy could not dock and could only park in the waters near Queen's Island.
Roy returns to Queen's Island on a flying fish boat.
At this time, the beach of Queen's Island was filled with a large number of gray dwarf prisoners of war. After they were disarmed, there was no suitable place to hold them, so they could only be concentrated on the beach, led by a Silver Moon The Elf Guard Group is responsible for guarding...
More than thirty thousand gray dwarves The human robbers were wearing linen shirts and sitting quietly on the beach in the scorching sun. There was no shade around them. However, the endurance of these gray dwarf robbers was strong enough, and they had no problem being exposed to the scorching sun. Although each of them had a mental level , but nothing happened to the body.
There were less than 8,000 seriously injured gray dwarf prisoners of war lying under the shade of palm trees by the sea. The elves not only gave them plenty of water and food, but also used linen bandages to bandage these injured gray dwarf prisoners of war. Wound.
The physical strength of the dwarves is second only to the orcs, and even stronger than the orcs in some aspects. Therefore, many seriously injured gray dwarves can only breathe weakly, as long as they are allowed to rest more, their injuries may still be Get better.
These gray dwarf prisoners of war stared at Roy silently. They would not forget that on the day of the battle, it was this human-like officer who, with eight magic airships, destroyed the back line of their fleet almost instantly.
If the defense line of the gray dwarf fleet had not collapsed, the gray dwarf bandits would not have fought so hastily, nor would they have been engulfed by fires that engulfed more than sixty ships. In the end, they were also forced by the fire at the port dock. He had to surrender to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.
"That man is the devil. If he hadn't sprayed fire from the magic airship, we wouldn't have lost so miserably!"
"Maybe we wouldn't have lost at all..."
“Hey guys, instead of sitting here in the sun every day, we might as well risk rushing into the sea. As long as two rotten wooden boards from the destroyed ship, I will have the confidence to float back...”< br>
"Stop dreaming. Although the Silver Moon Elves don't kill prisoners, it doesn't mean they don't kill escaped prisoners of war. If you miss, you can do it yourself, and don't hold me back!"
"I heard that they even The guilty Silver Moon elves will not be spared. As long as they dare to escape, they will be killed during the capture process. It fell..."
"Stop talking, the food delivery guy is coming soon. I have eaten a total of three apples in the past few days. I feel like the muscles in my body will melt if I don't add some protein... …”
The gray dwarf prisoners of war sat on the beach and discussed in low voices.
At this time, Roy also saw some Silver Moon Elf guards pushing some flatbed trucks. Sure enough, the flatbed trucks were piled with fruits, basically breadfruit and apples that were not very valuable, and they distributed these fruits. At that time, it was almost a small portion per person.
Roy had no problem with this.
If Roy was responsible for managing these gray dwarf prisoners of war, he would definitely not give him fruit at this time.
How much fruit can be stored in the entire Queen's Island? This part of the supply is for the elves on the island. Once distributed to the gray dwarf prisoners of war, the food on Queen's Island will soon be consumed by these gray dwarf prisoners of war.
Roy even thought that letting the gray dwarf prisoners of war dig clams in the sand of the beach to fill their stomachs...
Walking through the area where the dwarf prisoners of war were, I met Silver Moon along the way. The elf warriors will salute Roy.
A week ago, these Silver Moon Elf guards were not like this!
Roy looked at these energetic Silver Moon elves, smiled at them, and then strode towards the military headquarters.
……
Military Department, Lord Swinburne’s office.
Roy knocked on the door, and the door was pushed open by a Silver Moon Elf adjutant. He saluted Roy.
"The Earl is waiting for you inside, Captain Roy."
Roy quickly returned the gift. Before this, the Silver Moon Elf adjutant had never been so pleasant.
When he walked into the office of the tree house, he saw Earl Swinburne raised his head and said to him with unconcealed appreciation in his eyes:
"Roy, your pursuit this time The gray dwarf bandits won a great victory, and all the troubles I was worried about were solved!"
Roy stepped forward directly and saluted Earl Swinburne.
At the instruction of Earl Swinburne, he sat on the chair opposite Earl Swinburne's desk.
"Tell me, what are your plans next?" Earl Swinburne asked Roy.
Roy smiled and said to Earl Swinburne: "I know you are also short of ships. This time I captured thirty-three three-masted sailing ships. How many are you going to keep? The rest I'm going to take it back to Partington Island for modification."
Earl Swinburne smiled slightly, with a real look on his face, and said to Roy:
"You pay. I don't want any of these three-masted sailing ships, but I also have another request. If you drive these three-masted sailing ships away, you must take away all the gray dwarves on the beach. You will be responsible for settling them. I Regardless of whether you build a prisoner of war camp in the Partington plane or put them into labor camps in the mines, you must keep these gray dwarf bandits in the Partington plane..."
Roy was a little dumbfounded. There were tens of thousands of gray dwarf prisoners of war on Queen's Island, and he was not capable of managing so many prisoners of war.
But looking at Earl Swinburne's expression, this matter does not look like a joke...
Roy was a little embarrassed, but when he thought that he could bring all thirty-three three-masted sailing ships with him, Returning to Partington Island, he bravely agreed:
"Okay, I'll take them back to Pagisto Plateau!"
