Chapter 569 570. Recruitment
The gray dwarf bandits stared at the nine magic airships suspended in the sky. They knew very well that the Silver Moon elves were already in an invincible position in this naval battle.
More than a hundred three-masted sailing ships were severely bombarded by ship-borne ballistae, and almost half of them sank near Io Island.
The remaining gray dwarf bandits drove the remaining three-masted sailing ship and quickly evacuated the sea outside the Sheephorn Fjord...
Magic airships can fly at extremely fast speeds after entering the wind flow layer, but once they leave the wind flow layer, they will fly as slowly as a snail in the air thanks to the magic airship's own propulsion device.
Therefore, the magic airship has no pursuit capabilities on the battlefield.
Seeing the gray dwarf robbers escaping on a three-masted sailboat, with only the Silver Pegasus knights chasing after them, Roy's magic airships were powerless...
The local Silver Moon Elf noble fleet that rushed out from Mura Yaki Port quickly arrived in the waters near Io Island. They immediately picked up the Silver Moon Elf Guards of the Silver Pegasus Legion trapped on the pirates on the medium-sized sailing ship. .
The fleet then cleaned up the battlefield around Io Island. The Silver Moon elves first picked up the gray dwarf bandits who fell into the sea and imprisoned them together. Then they looted some three-masted sailing ships that were not sunk but were seriously damaged. Got some loot.
In addition to catching a large number of gray dwarf bandits, the Silver Moon Elf fleet at Mulayaki Port also seized five ships of loot. In addition, the elves also towed back four severely damaged but unsinked three-masted sailing ships. to the port of Muraayaki.
Roy's nine magic airships were also propelled by the propulsion device, slowly flew into the Sheephorn Fjord, and then docked at the dock of Mula Yaki Port.
When Roy led a group of mixed elf warriors off the three-masted sailboat, the Silver Moon elves on the dock applauded, and some Silver Moon Elf officers shouted to Roy:
"Well done..."
"...Well done!"
There were many Silver Moon Elf officers on the dock, most of whom were local Silver Moon Elfs in Mura Yaki Port. These Silver Moon Elf officers were surrounded by two Silver Moon Elf nobles in gorgeous military uniforms, and Roy recognized them at a glance. One of the Silver Moon Elf officials wore the badge of the Silver Pegasus Legion on his chest.
That badge was very special, because Roy had seen a similar one on Earl Swinburne's chest.
Count Swinburne's Legion Commander's Badge is made of pure gold, and this Silver Moon Elf official's badge has a silver thread on the edge. There are only two senior members of the Silver Pegasus Legion who are qualified to wear the Legion Commander's Badge, except for Count Swinburne. Apart from that, there is only Earl Macaulay.
And Roy knew that Earl Macaulay came to Sheephorn Fjord with the Fifth and Sixth Silver Pegasus Knights this time.
So even if Roy had never met Count Macaulay, he could still confirm that the Silver Moon Elf official was Count Macaulay.
Roy took a step forward, put his right hand across his chest, and shouted: "Salute!"
The mixed-blood elf warriors who followed Roy down from the magic airship immediately stood up straight, imitated Roy's movements, and saluted Count Macaulay in unison.
"Commander Macaulay Corps, the Guard Group of the Pagisto Plateau Mine on the Partington plane is here to report!" Roy said loudly.
His Elvish language had a bit of a Castletown accent, which made Count Macaulay feel more comfortable.
Count Macaulay nodded slightly, then turned to look at Count Stasa beside him, complaining: "This time you should know how difficult the current situation of our 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is, right? !”
"The naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands contained almost all the Silver Moon Elf guard groups, so we had to dispatch a guard group from the Partington plane."
Count Stasa glanced at Count Macaulay, pushed his long hair behind his temples with one hand, and said in a strange tone:
"I am very familiar with Viscount Alves from the Partington plane, so I know that plane very well. I know that most of the people living in that plane are mixed elves... But your 17th legion actually The formation of a mixed-blood elf guard group in that plane is really unexpected!"
Count Macaulay could see that Count Stasa was not in a very beautiful mood.
As the instigator of this incident, Viscount Felleck had already escaped in despair when he got off the ship.
Just thinking about last night's affair between his wife Serena and her adulterer, Viscount Felek, on the big bed worth 800 magic crystals at home, Count Strasser felt like a raging fire was stuck in his chest, ready to burst out at any time.
Originally, Count Stasa hoped that Viscount Felek would die on the battlefield at best, and learn a lesson in this naval battle at the worst. But who would have thought that Count Macaulay would show off this naval battle in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion? After a trump card, it suddenly stopped...
The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion defeated the gray dwarf bandits with an overwhelming advantage.
So Count Stasa was a little confused. The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion clearly had such a fleet of magic airships. Why did Count Macaulay need to ask for so many favors and ask the fleet at Muraayaki Port to leave? Go to the Yangtze Fjord and join the battle in the waters of Io Island...
So many unpleasant things were crowded together, which made his tone of voice a little strange when he spoke!
When Count Macaulay heard what Count Stasa said, he could only smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't understand the things on the Partington plane, let alone Roy. After all, the half-elf boy had a very early age. The imprint of the Swinburne family had been imprinted before.
In front of outsiders, Earl Macaulay could not say this.
"When we first created this mixed-blood elf guard group, we set many restrictions on this guard group."
"Unless they encounter special circumstances, they cannot leave the Partington plane at will. They can only move around on the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane. If it hadn't been for the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group in the Yangjiao Gorge this time, If the Bay is attacked, we will not transfer them from the Partington plane," Earl Macaulay explained.
These matters must be made clear to Count Stasa, otherwise if misunderstood, Count Macaulay is worried that this will affect the friendship between the two.
Count Stasa also felt that he seemed to have lost his temper just now, so he immediately calmed down his bad mood, and then discussed with Count Macaulay how to deal with the gray dwarf robber prisoners captured in this naval battle.
The way the Silver Moon elves usually deal with prisoners of war is actually quite cumbersome.
According to the normal procedure, these gray dwarf prisoners of war were first sent to a military court to be convicted of crimes, usually war crimes, and then went through several trials to confirm which of these gray dwarf prisoners of war had killed elves and which had not.
Gray dwarf prisoners of war who have killed elves will be sent to Parram Island Prison. These gray dwarf prisoners of war will be sentenced to life imprisonment.
The prison terms of gray dwarf prisoners of war who have not killed elves will vary. The length of the prison term depends entirely on the guilty attitude of the gray dwarf bandits...
Therefore, the trial of prisoners of war is also a very cumbersome matter, and no benefits can be obtained.
Count Stassa stood in front of the dock, looking at the gray dwarf prisoners of war who were slowly walking down from the small sailing ship in a long queue, and took the initiative to say:
"You defeated these gray dwarf bandits, so they should be dealt with by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion!" "Yes. But those trophies captured from the sea around Io Island must be given priority to me to select!" Mai While Earl Cowley readily agreed, he also attached his own conditions.
"No problem! You choose first." Count Stasa agreed.
Count Macaulay showed a grateful smile on his face, and smiled at Count Stasa and said: "...No matter what, thank you for unconditionally reaching out to us when the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion needed help the most. A helping hand."
After saying that, he took the initiative to step forward, shook hands with Count Stasa and bumped his shoulders heavily.
"Haha, since you can think this way, I won't be polite to you about something!" Count Stasa had a rare smile on his face.
"Please just say...as long as I can do it." Count Macaulay said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't make it too difficult for you..."
Count Stasa whispered into Count Macaulay's ear.
…
Roy led a group of mixed-blood elf warriors in front of the loot pile, specifically selecting wooden boxes containing magic crossbow arrows.
In fact, some ship-borne ballistae were also installed on these three-masted sailing ships of the gray dwarf bandits. These ship-borne ballistae were specially used to deal with the Silver Pegasus Knights. During the naval battle, the floating height of Roy's magic airships exceeded The effective range of the ship-borne ballistae, the gray dwarf bandit's ballistae could not reach the magic airship at all.
When the three-masted sailing ship sank near Io Island, the Silver Moon Elf warriors fished some wooden boxes filled with magic crossbow arrows from the sea.
Count Macaulay obtained the right to first select the spoils from Count Stasa, and naturally gave this right to Roy, who had made the greatest contribution in the naval battle.
Miss Christine also followed the team, curiously observing the many trophies placed on the dock.
At this time, the Silver Moon Elf officer who informed Roy to give priority to selecting the trophies walked up to Roy and said: "Captain Roy, Lord Macaulay wants to see you!"
Roy slowly raised his head, then walked to Captain Timothy and whispered to him: "You keep an eye on this side for now, I'll go see Lord Macaulay!"
"Yes, Captain Roy."
Captain Timothy replied.
…
In a tree house in the aristocratic neighborhood of Mulayaki City, Roy sat on a set of sofas. The partition in front of him was hollowed out and carved with precious materials. The wood itself exuded a refreshing aroma, and the wood around him On the table was a gold ornament inlaid with several gorgeous gemstones.
The cup in front of him contained green life tree sap and a faint aroma of wine. The rich breath of life made Roy feel comfortable just by smelling it.
There are several silver-white taro fruits on the plate. The ripe taro fruits have a sweet aroma.
A Silver Moon Elf maid squatted beside the small table. She peeled off the Taro fruit with her crystal-clear fingers like white onions, and handed the white jade-like flesh the size of an egg inside to Roy's mouth.
Roy sat on the sofa a little stiffly, his back straight.
Seeing that Roy refused to open his mouth, the Silver Moon Elf maid smiled softly, put the peeled Tyro Fruit on the plate, stood up and left.
Not long after, Earl Macaulay walked in from the door.
He changed into a set of exquisite casual clothes, smiled and said to Roy:
"Are you Roy?"
"Yes, Lord Macaulay." Roy stood up from his seat without any expression on his face.
"Your mine guard group did a great job this time. If I had known that your mine guard group had such strong combat power, I should have suggested to Earl Swinburne that your guard group go to Golfito!"
Roy responded loudly to Earl Macaulay: "Your Majesty, this is what we should do!"
"I don't even know where these magic airships come from. Can you introduce them to me?" Count Macaulay said with a smile.
Although Roy was very reluctant, he acted without any hesitation and quickly explained: "In the naval battle of the Queen Egwene Islands, our regiment was ordered to station on the Key West Islands. Gray dwarf bandits made a sneak attack on Key West Island at night and were intercepted by our regiment's scouts. After discovering this, our regiment immediately started a battle with those gray dwarf bandits on the island. At that time, all the gray dwarf bandits failed to escape back to the ship. We followed the clues and were lucky enough to find their fleet, so we captured eleven ships. Barque."
"The entire battle process should be recorded in more detail in the Silver Pegasus Legion headquarters battle report summary."
"After the naval battle, these eleven three-masted sailing ships became the trophies of the mine guard group. I happened to return to Castletown City at that time to deal with the matter of primary magic herbs. At that time, I was dealing with imperial merchants, and they asked I revealed that there was a dwarf craftsman on their ship who could transform three-masted sailing ships, so I spent a sum of money and asked this old dwarf to help me transform all eleven three-masted sailing ships into magic airships!"
"I know that magic airships cannot sail on the Elf Continent. The original purpose of transforming the magic airships was to transport them to the Partington plane."
"Padstow City in the Partington plane is too far away from the Pagistow Plateau. Transport by pack teams alone cannot meet the needs of the merchants, so I submitted an application to the military department to open a link between Padstow City and Padstow Plateau. The waterway between plateau cities..."
After Roy finished speaking, Earl Macaulay sighed softly. What Roy said was almost the same as the information he had investigated.
"Roy, you performed very well both in the naval battle of the Queen of Evenni Islands and in the naval battle of the Sheephorn Fjord. Have you ever thought about going to the Buenos High Elf Academy to take further military courses? If you have this If you have any ideas, you can come to me, I happen to have a recommendation spot for this high-end college!" Count Macaulay said tentatively.
Roy didn't expect that Earl Macaulay would extend an olive branch to him at this time...
"Well, Lord Macaulay, I have no plans yet!"
Roy stood in front of Count Macaulay and said calmly.
