Chapter 839 840. Counterattack from the Grey Dwarf
Commander Tennyson was about to follow the gray dwarf into the cabin, but the gray dwarf turned around with some feeling. He raised the candle in his hand and observed carefully in the cargo hold for a long time, but did not observe anything unusual. He could only walk back with a puzzled face.
The gray dwarf wore metal combat boots, and the boots stomped on the floor with a dull sound.
He held the candle with one hand and held the wheat cake with the other, leaving a clear shadow behind him.
Captain Tennyson hid behind the gray dwarf and walked into a large cabin. The air circulation in the cabin was poor, and various smells in the air were mixed together, which was stuffy and hot.
The cabin on the lower three levels was filled with dense gray dwarves. These gray dwarves were wearing thin linen clothes, with a large amount of metal armor piled up by the walls around them, and only a few dim oil lamps were lit in the cabin.
The bearded gray dwarf holding the wheat cake dripped the wax oil on a beam and quickly stuck the candle on it while the wax oil was not dry.
Under the candlelight, the bearded gray dwarf tear open the wheat cake with his hands and send it to the gray dwarf next to him.
There was no one in the cabin, it was all about chewing and drinking water.
After the bearded gray dwarf gave out the scones, he found an empty seat and sat down, and said angrily:
"The big ship cannot reach the port, so the empire merchants are ready to make a profit and leave."
Suddenly, a suffocating quietness fell into the cabin, and some gray dwarves whispered in whispers around them. They could not suppress their anger, but they did not dare to make loud noises. The cabin of the lower three levels was filled with a fire.
"We have been hiding in the cabin on the lower floor for so many days. Can we just leave just by saying that?"
"Yes! Didn't you agree with other leaders? We create opportunities on the dock to allow other fleets to land on the island from other places. There is no movement here. What should other gray dwarves do?"
"Merchant ships cannot reach port, so do you have to give up your actions? That won't work. We paid!"
"What do you say over Jais?"
"Jias said that the other party's half-elf leader found some clues on the ship, so he ran back without looking back. Now the other party is highly alert to the merchant ship!"
"So that's the reason we evacuated Kui Island?"
"The reason given by Moses is that even if we didn't take action, they have successfully restrained the griffin cavalry regiment and a large number of hybrid elves on Kui Island. At this time, we attacked these mixed elves from the merchant ship, which is tantamount to dying. At that time, even these merchant ships may be ruined."
"Didn't we start an attack last night? We have been sitting in the cabin all night and suddenly we have to cancel again. It's really a bit incomprehensible."
"I was planning to wait for the port last night and launch a night attack, but they ignored our application and asked us to stay on the boat. Until the morning, Boss Roy suddenly ran on the boat."
"So why not arrest him? I mean if we arrest him, we might be able to directly occupy Kui Island!"
"He brought a griffin cavalry squadron, and the mercenaries and the imperial merchants suddenly became timid at critical moments."
"Go to his door..."
"Sure enough, those imperial people are not trustworthy. We shouldn't have cooperated with these imperial merchants at the beginning and threw them into the sea to feed sharks."
"What's the use of saying this now? When all the mixed-blood elves leave, we can move freely in the lower cabin."
"That's great. If you don't go out for a walk and have a breeze, mushrooms will almost grow on my body..."
The group of gray dwarves ate scones and whispered to discuss the situation outside.
Commander Tennyson was shocked and sweated coldly. He quietly withdrew from the cabin. After returning to the cargo hold, he quickly drilled from the passage dug out before to the stern cargo hold on the lower second floor, and then sneaked back to the deck.
This imperial merchant ship transported over 1,300 mixed-race elves, just filled with two three-masted sailboats.
Two three-masted sailboats returned to the port pier at the same time and were warmly received by the mixed-race elves on the pier.
A large number of hybrid elves gathered on the entire dock. Some of them were brought by Roy from Castleton Port, while others were rescued by Roy from the Lost Sea. These hybrid elves are more looking forward to new hybrid elves joining Que Island, so that they will feel more secure.
Although the mixed-race elves on the Imperial Merchant Ship looked like a group of refugees, the mixed-race elves waiting on the dock enthusiastically took them to take a bath, put on clean clothes, and then took two apples to sit in the clearings in the woods to rest, waiting for the tree house to be allocated...
Walking into Kui Island, it is like entering a large group for these displaced mixed-race elves.
The mixed-race elves who walked off the Imperial Merchant Ship were soon infected by this enthusiasm. The worries on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, and they slowly showed their long-lost smiles...
...
It is completely different from the joyful atmosphere on the pier...
It was a group of mixed-blood elves who walked down from the three-masted sailboat.
Commander Tennyson walked down the three masts with a cold face and flipped out. A group of Dark Moon Elf Warriors followed him closely. Wherever they walked, the mixed-blood elves dodged left and right.
A team of mixed-blood elves guards were on standby on the dock and looked at Captain Tennyson.
Commander Tennyson saw one of them, and walked over and asked:
"Where is Boss Roy?"
The squadron leader of the mixed-blood elf guard immediately stood up, saluted Captain Tennyson and said:
"The boss is checking the catapult on the beach..."
Commander Tennyson ran towards the beach, and the mixed-blooded elves guards looked at each other, not knowing what emergency was happening.
Roy was watching a trencher nearly ten meters high. These trenchers were built by gray dwarf robbers who had lived on Que Island. The huge trencher could throw half a ton of stones to the sea one kilometer away.
However, this kind of trencher is very bulky. Every time you throw it, you need to manually lift the counterweight basket, and the hit rate is also very low.
Despite this, the catapults towering on the beach are still a defensive weapon against sea warships.
If a fleet wants to attack the dock of Kui Island, it is destined to enter this but the effective range of the catapult...
Recently, the plateau headhunters built the seawall near the dock, even blocking part of the view of the catapult's position. Roy came here to take a look, hoping to add a lookout near the catapult.
Commander Tennyson ran over in a hurry, and Roy immediately knew that there must be a new situation on the Imperial Merchant Ship.
Roy jumped from the wooden rack into the knee-deep water, and the waves rushed over and curled his pants.
He strode back to the beach and asked Captain Tennyson:
"How is the situation on the merchant ship?"
"There are a large number of gray dwarf warriors hidden on these imperial merchant ships. They were originally planning to raid Kui Island at night, but their raid plan was disrupted by you. Those imperial merchants didn't want to take risks, so the raid plan last night was completely ruined." Commander Tennyson said.
Roy didn't understand what it meant to be 'I disrupted last night'.
Then the leader of the Tennyson said:
"According to the conversation between the gray dwarfs on the merchant ship, I heard a news that the gray dwarf robbers were trying to attack Kui Island."
Roy ordered Walker standing on the beach:
"Notify Sabrina and ask her to transport the mixed-race elves on the Imperial Merchant Ship back as soon as possible. If they refuse to cooperate, let them be detained by force in the waters of the coral reefs."
"Yes!" Walker replied immediately, then ran quickly towards the dock.
Roy wiped the water stains on his hands, walked towards the mixed-blood elf camp, and said to Captain Tennyson beside him:
"We will return to the camp and immediately call a meeting of officers above the captain."
A messenger who followed him immediately ran to the camp early and summoned the officers in the camp early...
Two griffins swept through the low altitude and spread their wings at high speed, forcibly landing on the beach. The strong wind stirred by the two pairs of wings blew up the gravel, hitting Roy in his face.
"Boss, the fleet of gray dwarves was found in the eastern waters of the island. Their ships were very fast and seemed to be preparing to land from the east side of the island."
The griffin cavalry hurriedly reported to Roy before he jumped off the griffin's back.
"Let Commander Tiprado bring a griffin cavalry squadron to the east of Kui Island to support it." Roy said decisively.
Commander Tennyson just said that there might be a gray dwarf fleet attacking the island.
Since they have given up the waters on the island of Kui, Roy speculates that they may have landed in the eastern part of the island...
Currently, only a few guard posts are set up there.
The length of Kui Island is 40 kilometers east-west, and seawalls have been built on this section of the coast suitable for landing on the island.
If the gray dwarf robber wants to land on the island, he can only forcibly capture the seawall.
Roy came to the mixed-race elves camp, and a group of officers had gathered in the conference room of the regiment headquarters. Roy stood near the sand table in the middle of the room, pointed to the eastern part of the island, and inserted several small boat models outside the seawall.
The atmosphere in the room was a little nervous, and all the elf's eyes fell on Roy.
Commander Geroin also rushed from outside, and along with him were the leader of the conference hall, he asked Roy:
"The second and third squadrons of the Griffon Cavalry have been sent over. How do you plan to fight this battle?"
Roy pointed a baton at the Quidou Pier and said confidently:
"At present, there are five imperial merchant ships two kilometers outside the dock. According to the reconnaissance of the regiment Tennyson, there are at least five thousand gray dwarf soldiers hidden on these five imperial merchant ships. I am planning to transport the mixed-blood elves back to the island and launch an attack on these imperial merchant ships."
He raised his head, found a familiar figure from the crowd of the mixed-blood elf guard officers, and said again:
"Vitas, you will lead a regiment of mine guards to the east of the island immediately to strive to be able to defend the seawall. I will send griffin cavalry and two magic airships to provide air support to you, but the seawall is definitely not the main battlefield. If the gray dwarf is determined to capture the seawall, I need you to find an appropriate opportunity to give up the seawall and put them in."
"Yes."
Vitas raised his chin and agreed.
"Captain Tennyson, you bring all the Dark Moon Elf Warriors into the jungle in the eastern part of Kui Island. As long as there are gray dwarf robbers who dare to sneak into the jungle on the island, you will take your team to hunt these gray dwarfs and let them understand one thing: who is the master of the forest!"
"I understand, boss."
Captain Tennyson narrowed his eyes, covering the murderous aura that appeared in his eyes.
"This time I don't need you to catch me many gray dwarf robbers. The prisoners of war concentration camps on the plateau city have been expanding, and the prisoners of war there are always saturated. This time I need a three-masted sailboat to strive to expand our fleet..."
Then Roy said to Commander Geroin:
"Captain Geroin, please ask your Knights Templar priests to go to the eastern part of the island with Commander Tennyson. I hope the priests will bless the elves warriors as much as possible."
Although most of the priests have returned to the Sun Island Bay with the magic airship, there is still a team of priests from the Knights Templars left on the island of Kui.
"I understand, I'll make arrangements now!"
Commander Geroin agreed.
Roy clapped his hands hard and said loudly:
"Okay, everyone! Take action, we want to let these slave traders figure it out, they have kicked it to the iron plate!"
...
Four more magic airships took off near the pier.
Although the distance is too far and I can't see clearly what is on the magic airship, the merchants on the Imperial Merchant Ship still have a very bad premonition.
The griffin cavalry above the head flew around frequently, and griffin cavalry kept flying over from the dock.
After talking to a griffin cavalry, the female officer of the mixed-blood elf asked the other three-masted sailboats to come. Now the remaining four imperial merchant ships have begun to transfer the mixed-blood elf.
The magic airship above the head is not hanging directly above the merchant ship.
They not only lowered the suspension height, but also adjusted the suspension angle...
A large number of griffon cavalry wandered back and forth overhead, and even the griffon cavalry began to try to dive.
However, when the griffin was about to touch the mast, the cavalry skillfully pulled the reins up again, allowing the griffin to rush into the sky. .
"What are they doing?"
The Imperial merchants don't understand why these griffin cavalry do these meaningless and dangerous actions.
The mercenary commander Jia Ais looked at the sky with his face against the glass window and said:
"They are adjusting the dive angle. With these attempts, once the fight starts, these griffin cavalry will dive very accurately..."
The silver-haired empire merchant suddenly stood up, ran from the rest area to the window, and looked out:
"Are they ready to attack us?"
The mercenary leader Jais looked at the empire merchant Moses with a sneer, and said in a deep voice: "It looks very similar!"
"Then should we stop those mixed-blood elves from getting off the ship?" the deputy commander of the mercenary group stood up and asked.
The empire merchant Moses hurriedly said:
"Then there is no room for relief. I guess they will immediately capture our merchant ships by then. Can your mercenary group stop those griffon cavalry?"
"If only the griffin cavalry were the only ones, I would like to..."
Before the mercenary commander Jia Ais finished speaking, someone exclaimed:
"Look at what's wrong outside. Why did it start to snow outside in such hot weather?"
I saw goose feather-like snowflakes floating outside the window of the Imperial Merchant Ship, falling from the air. On the deck, on the ship's side, and on the masts that were crossed, there were falling snowflakes everywhere.
But at this time, the dazzling sunshine still shines on the blue sea...
