Garrison

"It must have been Mulin and her group who did it!"

After a long while, Leishande finally mustered his energy and spoke.

Although the small village was abandoned, a group of headhunters lay in the mud, which made Leishande feel a little better.

The Adventure Group risked their lives to ambush two headhunting squads in the rubble.

When everyone arrived at the elf village, they found that all the elves living there had safely evacuated, which was something to be happy about.

Woods had bandages wrapped around his chest, making him look like a mummy.

He leaned his head back against the stone wall, his eyes closed, and it was clear that the two battles had severely exhausted his body.

After a while, Woods took out a bottle of medicine from his waist bag, held it in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the cork from the bottle, carefully poured a drop of the medicine into his mouth, and then carefully put the cork back on and put the medicine into his waist bag.

Sabrina, Moira, Miss Tiffany found an empty house with a usable bathroom, so they decided to take a bath there.

Miss Tiffany, in particular, was eager to soak in the bathtub.

She also brought a bag of Sea Salt with her, which she could add to the bathtub while taking a bath.

This time, Kaka didn't patrol in the air; he released the griffin to freely roam the skies...

The Adventure Group didn't stay in the elven village for long. Soon, the griffins discovered the headhunters' whereabouts and kept warning Kaka.

Kaka quickly told Roy the news.

"Roy, two headhunting teams are getting closer to us," Kaka whispered to Roy as he approached.

Upon hearing Kaka's voice, Leishande and Klayr immediately looked towards Roy.

"Where are they right now?" Roy asked Kaka.

Kaka pointed west and replied, "Both headhunting teams are currently in the northwest, steadily approaching this direction. They're operating alone. Roy, should we continue searching for ambush sites to snipe them...?"

Without a second thought, Roy decisively told everyone, "Prepare to evacuate. We should try to avoid fighting them."

Klayr stood up and chased after Roy, saying, "Roy, we've successfully ambushed two headhunting teams... why are we avoiding battle this time?"

"I suspect these two headhunting teams are probably after us! And they've figured out our approximate capabilities. They're acting alone, and they're not far apart, so they're probably trying to lure us out..."

Roy explained to Klayr as he packed his luggage.

Sabrina had just taken a bath, changed into dry clothes, and came out of the stone house.

Her hair was still wet when she heard Roy say they were preparing to evacuate the elven village. She hurried back to the stone house to inform Miss Tiffany, who was still taking a bath...

Sabrina wasn't wearing Dwarf Chain Mail...

In the previous two battles, she was injured in many places, and bandages were used to tighten the wounds.

The Adventure Group quickly packed their bags and rode away from the elven village, which consisted of only four houses.

Sure enough, the two headhunting teams met up in the elven village. Instead of staying there, they followed the trail left by the Adventure Group Adventure Group.

The headhunters also rode argali sheep, and the Adventure Group could not shake them off using their superior horses.

Moreover, some of these headhunters are skilled trackers who can follow closely behind the Adventure Group by following the hoofprints left on the ground.

Roy originally wanted to visit a mine deep in the highlands to see the true plight of the miners there.

But now this path has been completely blocked by Highland Headhunters...

The Adventure Group could no longer go west.

He led his Adventure Group on a long drive through the mountains, but they still couldn't shake off the two small teams of headhunters.

Roy didn't even dare to let the team stop...

He worried that the two hunters would close the distance and then suddenly charge at them, which the Adventure Group wouldn't be able to handle. So he could only spread out a map while riding his horse and said to Leishande, who was riding a argali, "If we go in now, we'll probably run into their reinforcements. We can only retreat to the valley at the edge of the plateau."

Leishande nodded. He hadn't really agreed with Roy going to the heart of the plateau to investigate the mines in the first place, so Roy's suggestion to head to the edge of the plateau was exactly what he wanted.

After determining their location, Leishande led his Adventure Group toward the eastern hillside...

As they crossed a mountain ridge, Roy stopped on his horse.

He glanced down the hillside and finally spotted the two headhunting teams at the foot of the mountain.

The two headhunting teams met up and headed up the hillside, only two or three kilometers away from the Adventure Group.

Once the Adventure Group stops, it's estimated that the two headhunting teams will be able to catch up from behind in less than fifteen minutes.

Roy looked at the headhunter in the distance and remained silent for a moment.

A moment later, he turned and rode away...

The headhunting team in the valley also spotted Roy, but they were too far apart to see anything more than a blurry figure.

The two headhunting team leaders immediately sensed that they had been discovered...

He quickly rallied his men and charged up the mountain.

On such a gentle slope, argali sheep simply cannot outrun warhorses.

Moreover, the argali sheep's advantage lies in their explosive power during short sprints, but their disadvantage is their lack of endurance, making them unsuitable for long-distance runs.

The headhunting team followed the Adventure Group's trail all the way...

After traversing countless gentle slopes and ridges, the headhunting team continued until the surrounding mountains gradually became steeper. Only then did the team leader realize that they had entered the high-altitude mountainous region...

"Captain, if we go any further, we'll be entering the Southern Mountain Area. We don't know much about the situation there," a headhunter reminded the captain.

"Stop..."

The two headhunting team leaders issued the order simultaneously.

The mountains ahead blocked their view, so the headhunters lost track of the Adventure Group again.

Fortunately, the hoof prints left on the ground were still fairly clear...

After entering the mountainous region of the plateau, larch forests began to appear at the foot of the mountains on both sides. The hunters became cautious, fearing that a group of Half-Elf might emerge from the forest and surround and kill them.

So the two headhunting team leaders huddled together and whispered for a while, and the final order was, "Let's go, the situation in the mountains here is complicated, let's go back!"

The headhunters returned empty-handed, and the team leader walked at the front with a cold face.

"Roy, they haven't caught up. Should I go back and lure them back?"

Kaka asked Roy loudly.

"If they didn't chase after us, then forget it!"

Roy waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop and rest for a while...

Leishande was very familiar with this valley; he even knew where to find wild fruit and where to gather berries, so this woodland was also a food source for the elves.

Unfortunately, the season wasn't right; the pears here were sour and bitter, and not ripe yet.

Having finally shaken off the headhunting team, the Adventure Group continued forward for a while before, at Leishande's suggestion, deciding to rest at the edge of the woods...

For the past two days, the headhunting team has been constantly chasing after the Adventure Group. They can only get a chance to rest when the headhunting team stops.

Roy sat on the roots of a large tree and pulled out a map from his Magic Pouch, carefully filling in the blank spaces.

Leishande dismounted, tied his horse to a large tree, pointed to a high mountain ahead, and introduced it to Roy:

"Roy, that's where Mulin established her Resistance Army. The last time we saw Mulin, she invited us to visit their base."

Roy hesitated, "Is it convenient?"

Leishande was also a little uncertain. "It should be okay!"

Now that they had come this far, Roy decided to go and check out the Resistance Army base.

The original purpose of this Resistance Army was to resist the headhunters on the plateau, but the Resistance Army lacked various supplies.

Roy had also promised Mulin that he would get her some magical weapons and armor.

Leishande had only heard Mulin mention that the Resistance Army ' base was in these mountains, but finding it would be quite troublesome.

The adventure group spent almost a day wandering around these mountains. In the evening, they encountered a patrol team and realized that the Adventure Group had been wandering on the western slope of the mountain, which was still some distance from the Resistance Army's base.

So Leishande found out the exact location of the Resistance Army's base before leading everyone to this treehouse base in the woods.

Although this was Resistance Army stronghold, Roy felt it was more like a refugee camp.

Many Half-Elf have built simple treehouses in this woodland, and old people, women, and children can be seen everywhere in the settlement...

As the Adventure Group entered the camp, they were immediately greeted by the elves who lined the way.

Mulin happened to be at the camp when she heard that Roy and Leishande had arrived, so she immediately ran out to greet them.

Mulin led the Adventure Group to her treehouse, which consisted of only one room and contained almost nothing but a blanket.

Mulin, somewhat embarrassed, asked everyone to sit down on the floor inside the house before curiously asking Roy:

"Roy, I heard you ambushed two headhunting teams near the boulders at Seventh Ridge?"

Roy looked at Mulin and said, "Did Leishande tell you that?"

Mulin's figure can only be described as very well-proportioned, with prominent muscles in her arms and thighs, making her look like a powerful elven female warrior.

"It was Leishande who said it, Roy! Thank you."

Roy casually asked, "How's the evacuation of the Half-Elf from the plateau going?"

Mulin shook her head helplessly and said, "Everyone lives too far apart. We can't notify all the villages. Our warriors are generally active in the southwest of the highlands and are familiar with the environment here, so we only notified a portion of the elven villages here..."

Mulin's gaze fell on Roy's back... Sabrina, Moira, Miss Tiffany, Klayr and Woods, and so on.

"So, are you interested in joining our organization?" Mulin asked Roy after turning her gaze away.

Roy was somewhat surprised. He pointed to his nose and asked Mulin, "Am I still Adventure Group?"

"Either is fine, you're welcome to join us," Mulin said with a slight smile.

Roy thought about it carefully before saying to Mulin, "We'll be starting school in a month. We've only come to Pagesto to lead everyone on a dimensional adventure; we don't plan to settle here."

Hearing Roy say that, Mulin didn't press the matter further.

Roy thought of the headhunting team that was chasing them, each headhunter being exceptionally capable, and explained, "Besides, with our abilities, we might not actually be able to help you."

Mulin's eyes dimmed, then she asked Roy:

"Didn't you say you were going to help us procure some weapons and equipment?"

Roy quickly said:

"I did promise that. When we leave here, I will have Leishande come with us to Padesto City. I will give him these supplies then, but he will need to find a way to bring them back."

Mulin nodded, her expression relaxing a little.

When Roy arrived at the Resistance Army base, he deeply realized that the elves here were not having an easy time.

Clearly, these weapons and armor were very important to the Resistance Army.

Roy once again wanted the Silver Moon Elf army to help him.

He asked Mulin, "Have you considered sending the Silver Moon Elf army into the Pagisto Plateau?"

Mulin waved her hands repeatedly and said to Roy, "Please don't do that. The Mine Owners have already squeezed us to the point where we have no room to survive. Once the Silver Moon Elf army enters the Pagisto Plateau, our situation may become even worse."

Thinking of the various methods the Silver Moon Elf used to govern the city, Roy lost the desire to continue.

"Then you must be careful," Roy cautioned.

"I'll be careful."

Mulin responded.

Roy did not go to see the Chieftain of the Resistance Army.

He only stayed at Mulin's house for a short while before leaving the Resistance Army base with his Adventure Group.

Before leaving, Mulin took out some Magic Herbs and Magic Crystal Stone and gave them to Roy.

The elves here don't have Kole, but they have Magic Herbs and magic cores, which are considered hard currency in Castleton City and are enough for magical weapons and armor.

Leishande left the Resistance Army base with the Adventure Group. Since they couldn't go to the heart of the plateau, Roy decided to leave the Pagisto Plateau.
