Roy followed the Elven Guard to the headquarters of the Seventeen Silver Pegasus Legion stationed in Padesto City.

The hall here was also in chaos, with officers running back and forth carrying documents, and no one knew how many orders they had to convey to the outside world.

It seems that the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion is back in operation.

Led by an adjutant, Roy arrived at the door of Earl Swynborne's office.

The adjutant knocked on the door first, then pushed it open and went inside.

Roy and the others were waiting at the door.

Not long after, three Silver Moon Elf Officer came out of the room. Roy recognized one of them as the military commander of Padesto City. The military commander looked at Roy with surprise, nodded to him in a friendly manner, and left while talking quietly with the other two Elf Officer.

They were talking about the Padesto City development plan, which sounded like the Padesto City's management system would be gradually relaxed in the coming period.

Unfortunately, the three officers exchanged a few words and then disappeared around a corner in the corridor.

The office door was pushed open from the inside, and the adjutant poked his head out, beckoning Roy to come in.

Roy quickly followed his adjutant into the office, where the Earl Swynborne's desk was piled high with various documents awaiting approval.

When Roy walked in, Earl Swynborne looked up and dipped his Quill Pen into the Ink Bottle.

He pinched the corner of his eye and pointed to the chair opposite him, indicating that Roy could sit down.

The adjutant also brought Roy a cup of Lemon Tea.

Earl Swynborne looked at Roy and said to him, "It was a message from the intelligence officer on the other side of the Teleportation Portal. He said you happened to be in Padesto City, so I called you here. I've asked you to come here to ask you some questions about the Pagisto Plateau. I heard you went to the Pagisto Plateau some time ago."

Roy took a sip of his Lemon Tea, then looked into Earl Swynborne's eyes and said, "Well, my Adventure Group's summer dimensional journey was an adventure on the Pagisto Plateau."

Earl Swynborne nodded, signaling Roy to continue.

Roy thought for a moment before saying, "At that time, the Elf Headhunters on the plateau were capturing Half-Elf everywhere. The local Half-Elf organized a Resistance Army Resistance Army, which even sent some elven children to live in Rampart Town. My Adventure Group met them on the way. At first, we thought they were a group of Slave Traders, but after clearing up the misunderstanding, we learned that they were preparing to send these Half-Elf back to Rampart Town."

"That's how I met the Half-Elf on the plateau. Later, they brought me to the plateau and sold me some Magic Herbs. I also provided them with some supplies," Roy answered honestly.

Earl Swynborne narrowed his eyes and asked, "What specific supplies are involved?"

Roy answered honestly, "I bought a batch of ordinary weapons and armor from human merchant ships, and also provided some Elf Biscuit."

Earl Swynborne nodded, showing no displeasure, and seemed to know what Roy had done.

"I would like to invite you to join the expedition to the Pagisto Plateau, since you are more familiar with the area," Earl Swynborne said slowly.

Roy knew that since Earl Swynborne had spoken, he probably wouldn't be able to refuse.

Although his studies at the Elf Academy were not yet finished, he had no choice but to suspend them and continue his studies after the war ended.

After all, he still held the identity of the governor of Rampart Town.

"Oh, am I to go into the Pagisto Plateau with the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment?" Roy asked.

Earl Swynborne gave Roy a very appreciative look. Although he was a young Half-Elf, his composure was far superior to that of many young Silver Moon Elf.

Earl Swynborne said:

"Go up with the Logistics Unit. Also, I hope you can contact the local Half-Elf and provide the military with some clues about Highland Headhunters. Our legion may not gain the trust of the local Half-Elf when we enter the Pagisto Plateau, but you are different. You have already established contact with them and gained enough trust."

"Okay, I'm ready to go anytime," Roy replied.

As Roy emerged from the Earl Swynborne's office, an adjutant immediately led Roy to a clearing in the woods outside the military headquarters.

A Logistics Unit was stationed here, with a large amount of supplies piled up on the open ground and many horse-drawn carriages parked around it.

A group of Silver Moon Elf Warrior were loading Wooden Box onto a wagon. Some of the Wooden Box were very heavy, and only four crates were loaded onto a wagon before a tarpaulin was placed over them. Other crates were very light and were stacked high inside the wagon.

The adjutant found the commander of the logistics army, a very capable Elf Warrior. When Roy saw him, he was standing on the carriage, leading several Elf Warrior to tie hemp ropes to the boxes on it.

He then ordered two Elf Warrior to inspect the axles of the carriage.

The adjutant walked up to him and said to the Elf Warrior, "Commander Berkeley, this is Roy. The Earl has assigned him to your Transport Team, and you need to escort him to the Pagisto Plateau."

After saying that, he presented the military order personally signed by the Earl Swynborne.

"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed." Although Commander Berkeley frowned, he still reached out and took the order, readily agreeing.

Roy walked over, Commander Berkeley looked Roy over carefully before asking, "Do you prefer a carriage or a horse?"

"Riding a horse is better," Roy replied.

Although his riding skills weren't great, riding a horse was much more comfortable than traveling by carriage.

Commander Berkeley nodded and instructed the Elf Warrior beside him, "Later, you take him to choose a horse, preferably one with a gentle temperament."

"You will follow the Logistics Regiment into the Pagisto Plateau. Someone will contact you later," the adjutant told Roy.

Roy didn't have much of a choice.

Since they've been assigned to the Logistics Regiment, they should at least be more comfortable than the Vanguard Regiment.

The Logistics Regiment spent the entire afternoon loading supplies onto horse-drawn carts.

Roy acquired a gentle stallion, intending to build a basic level of trust with it, and also received a simple military tent from the Logistics Regiment.

Before leaving, Roy wrote a letter to Sabrina and Moira, telling them not to worry, as he would be heading to the Pagisto Plateau with the Logistics Regiment, and the letter should arrive in Castleton City soon.

Roy only stayed in Padesto City for one night.

The next morning, the Elf Warrior of the Logistics Regiment received orders from above, and the Logistics Regiment left the Padesto City in the morning.

The vast jungle south of Padesto City had long been designated as public territory for the Half-Elf.

Many Half-Elf hunt in this jungle, which has drastically reduced the prey population. There is no longer any danger in this forest, and the Logistics Regiment has chosen the same route taken by the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment.

The Logistics Regiment carried supplies for forty wagons, and each time they chose a campsite that the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment had previously visited.

Roy followed the Logistics Regiment for a week. When the Logistics Regiment entered the Hilly Mountain Area, they saw a continuous range of high mountains, which were the edge of the Pagisto Plateau.

The Logistics Regiment of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion carried a great deal of supplies, and Roy rode his little stallion in the middle of the group, having a very pleasant journey.

Roy rode his little stallion up a hill, where a herd of argali sheep appeared in the distance. Roy guessed that it must be Leishande's supply Transport Team.
