On the Battlefield

Baron Hekelis, commander of the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment, stood at the entrance of the main tent, watching Commander Berkeley lead the Logistics Regiment cavalry away from the camp.

The Cavalry Vanguard Regiment consists of five thousand Elf Warrior and is one of the few cavalry units in the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion.

Due to various reasons, the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion now has only six Silver Pegasus Battle Group left. The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion also has four Elven Cavalry Battle Groups, one of which is the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment of Commander Hekelis.

He was also the youngest of these chapter leaders, and with the support of the Hekelis Family, he could sit comfortably in the position of chapter leader.

Although he was only a Silver Moon Elf Baron, he held military power and was therefore a key figure being groomed for advancement within the family.

The Cavalry Vanguard Regiment's entry into the Pagisto Plateau was at the request of Commander Hekelis's own initiative, who had applied to Earl Swynborne. Otherwise, Earl Swynborne would have sent a Silver Pegasus Battle Group into the plateau to resolve the unrest there.

Commander Hekelis originally thought that after the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment arrived on the plateau, they would drive straight in and destroy the Elf Headhunters ' lair.

But when he led his Cavalry Vanguard Regiment into the Pagisto Plateau, he discovered that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. The entire Pagisto Plateau was much larger than the land that the Silver Moon Elf had occupied around the Padesto City.

After the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment entered the vast Pagisto Plateau, they couldn't even make a ripple.

However, the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment is already stationed on the plateau, and at this time, it is absolutely not an option to retreat. Otherwise, both Earl Swynborne and the Hekelis Family may have to reassess Commander Hekelis's abilities.

It wasn't easy for him to climb to this position...

For the past few days, Commander Hekelis has been studying the map of the Pagisto Plateau, trying to guess where the Elf Headhunters are hiding on the plateau.

The Silver Pegasus scout team has been out for several days and has yet to bring back any useful information. In the past few days, Commander Hekelis has sent out cavalry scout squads from the cavalry regiment to check if any Elf Headhunters are lying in ambush in the surrounding area.

He glanced coldly at the map and then made a mark in a blank space.

Commander Hekelis didn't even think much about Roy's matter; the fact that Earl Swynborne had sent a Half-Elf... made him somewhat resistant.

Commander Hekelis felt that the Earl was making a huge mistake. On the vast Pagisto Plateau, wherever the elven cavalry charged, the Elf Headhunters on the plateau could only flee in terror.

The reason why the Elf Headhunters can still roam freely on the plateau is entirely because the Elf Warrior of the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment have not yet adapted to the environment here.

Elf Warrior prefer the Rainforest...

Commander Hekelis held a ruler in his hand and a red and blue pencil in his pocket. He liked to draw action plans on maps and draw clear marching routes.

After Commander Berkeley left, he turned around and walked to the map, beginning to think about the cavalry regiment's battle plan.

He immediately forgot about Roy.

And so, Roy and Langbo settled down in the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment.

Roy and Langbo also had to leave the camp with the Tenth Reconnaissance Squad every day to go into the plateau to scout out the activities of the Highland Slavers.

They were both riding military horses, following the reconnaissance team.

For the past few days, the reconnaissance team has been active in the mountains west of Kazuo, which is considered to be an area where the Elf Headhunters are particularly active.

However, Captain Jones of the reconnaissance team was unaware of this.

Below a high slope, Captain Jones wanted to lead the reconnaissance team up the gentle slope so they could get a clear view of the surrounding terrain.

The gentle slope was covered with waist-high weeds, and the warhorses had to wade through them to move forward.

Langbo observed the surrounding mountains, then caught up with Roy and whispered to Roy, "Roy, Elf Headhunters used to frequent this area. I usually take a detour when I pass by. This hillside is a flat grassland. If we go up from the bottom, the view will be blocked by the weeds, making it difficult to spot what's up there. Even if there are Elf Headhunters lying in ambush up there, we won't be able to see them."

Langbo's personality is very similar to his father, Leishande. He is usually taciturn, but when he does speak, it is always purposeful.

Roy quickly rode forward and stopped Captain Jones, who was walking ahead, to tell him Langbo's assessment.

Hearing Roy say this, Captain Jones dared not be careless.

He quickly ordered the reconnaissance team to stop, and then sent two Elf Warrior on horseback to circle around from the left and right sides, thus avoiding direct surveillance.

When the two Elf Warrior reached the top of the mountain, they saw a group of Elf Headhunters fleeing into the distance.

The two elves quickly signaled to the scout team below. Once the scout team reached the top of the hill, the several Elf Headhunters who had fled were now just tiny black dots in everyone's sight.

"They must have been lying in ambush on the grassy slopes of the mountains. They must have been scouts from the Elf Headhunters," Captain Jones said, still shaken.

Just now, if he had insisted on climbing to the top from the front slope, his reconnaissance team would probably have been met with a fierce attack from those Elf Headhunters...

They must have been waiting for the reconnaissance team to enter the ambush zone before making their move, but they didn't expect that the reconnaissance team would circle around the mountains on the left and right and immediately discover the group of Elf Headhunters.

When the Elf Headhunters realized that the scouts had noticed them, they immediately abandoned the ambush and slipped away quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Captain Jones turned to Roy and Langbo and praised them, "You two did a great job!"

For the next few days, the reconnaissance team conducted reconnaissance in this area...

In a patch of waist-high weeds, Langbo followed behind Roy, the two of them wading through the weeds one after the other.

An Elf Warrior witnessed three headhunters burrowing into the meadow. Captain Jones, wanting to capture these Elf Headhunters, ordered his squad of Elf Warrior to split up and search.

Roy and Langbo were both newcomers to the reconnaissance team, and no Elf Warrior were willing to team up with them, so the two of them had to form a team together.

Before leaving, Captain Jones gave Roy a whistle.

Captain Jones instructed Roy to put the whistle in his mouth and hold it with his teeth, so he could blow it to call for help no matter what happened.

This wasteland is vast, and the headhunters are lurking within it. They are all skilled assassins, and as long as they remain hidden in the grass, it is extremely difficult to find them.

Once ambushed by Elf Headhunters, life and death can be decided in an instant.

As Roy dared not be careless in the slightest. He even blessed Langbo and Lamb with ' Strength Blessing ' and ' Wisdom Blessing ', and the Magic Inscription Construct he was wearing was also fully activated.

Langbo didn't have any Magic Inscription Construct, so Roy had Langbo follow behind him.

As the two waded through a patch of grass, Roy did not notice that just half a meter to his left, an Elf Headhunters was crouching in the tall grass.

Once Roy and Langbo had both walked over, the Elf Headhunters suddenly stood up, grabbed Langbo by the neck with one hand, and swiftly slashed at Langbo's throat with the sharp knife in his hand.

In fact, Langbo had been on guard the whole time, but the Elf Headhunters had the ability to 'hide', so they couldn't detect them at all.

When the headhunter grabbed Langbo's neck, Langbo instinctively reached for the large hand, and his right hand just happened to block the dagger...

The dagger in the headhunter's hand was stuck in Langbo's forearm, Langbo tried to break free from the Elf Headhunters's chokehold.

These struggles instantly snapped Roy out of his daze, and he turned around to try and rescue Langbo behind him.

But just as he turned around, a headhunter appeared beside him and, using almost the same method, strangled Roy's neck, then plunged a dagger into Roy's heart.

At the critical moment of life and death, the magical runes on Roy's Magic Inscription Construct lit up, and Iron Armor and Stone Skin also activated.

The Elf Headhunters felt as if he were holding a rock with one hand, and his dagger pierced a thick book. At that moment, Roy burst out with tremendous strength and broke free from the hunter's restraint.

The Hammer of Judgment Book, bound by a chain, slammed into the headhunter's face. The book had a bronze cover, and the headhunter cried out in pain.

Roy instantly broke free from the headhunter's restraints, and a Holy Scepter appeared in Roy's hand.

The scepter struck the Elf Headhunters on the head, instantly shattering his skull, and the Elf Headhunters fell into a pool of blood.

Roy blew his whistle and saw another Elf Headhunters tightly gripping Langbo's neck. This hunter was very clever; he signaled to Roy that if he dared to rush over, he would slit Langbo's throat.

Roy gave the Elf Headhunters a cold smile and raised his hand to signal that he wouldn't step forward...

Roy then very naturally opened the Hammer of Judgment Book in his hand and uttered a string of prayers with almost no expression on Roy face.

Before the Elf Headhunters Elf Headhunters could react, a silver hammer suddenly flew out and smashed into his forehead, leaving a bloody Holy Hammer in his head. He then fell straight down.

Along with the Elf Headhunters, Langbo also fell, with a wound on his neck from which blood spurted.

A flurry of footsteps could be heard around them as Captain Jones and several Elf Warrior quickly moved toward Roy.

Langbo clutched his throat with one hand, blood gushing from between his fingers, making it difficult to breathe. There were even some blood blisters between his fingers...

Roy immediately crouched down and almost instantly poured a bottle of Life Potion into Langbo's mouth, then quickly wrapped a bandage around his neck.

At this moment, Captain Jones and his Elf Warrior caught up from the side.

Roy ignored Captain Jones and continued chanting prayers. As the divine runes appeared, a beam of light landed on Langbo's neck.

Captain Jones burst through the bushes from the side, panting as he ran over, and asked Roy was crouching next to Langbo, "How are you two?"

"Langbo had his throat slit, but thankfully he received timely treatment and should be fine." Roy wiped the blood from his palm with a blade of grass.

Jones breathed a sigh of relief at first, then he thought of the two Elf Headhunters...

He first looked around, and when he saw the unrecognizable Elf Headhunters, Captain Jones couldn't help but frown.

Then he turned to look at another Elf Headhunters.

That Elf Headhunters had also died a violent death long ago.

"There it is, check quickly, is it still breathing?" Captain Jones ordered the Elf Warrior beside him.

Roy lived this life on the edge of a knife almost every day.

The reconnaissance team needed to search for the Elf Headhunters's whereabouts, and Roy's wilderness reconnaissance skills improved little by little in this way.

Occasionally, they would encounter Elf Headhunters who would fiercely resist, and Roy would fight them to the death.

During his recent military service, Langbo has also learned many new combat skills.

In the past few days, Roy has brought back five corpses of Elf Headhunters from outside. Each time, Roy has completed the mission excellently, and he has quickly gained some fame in the Tenth Reconnaissance Squad.

The Elf Warrior in the reconnaissance squad learned of Roy's strength and gradually became acquainted with him.

The reconnaissance teams risked their lives every day to conduct reconnaissance on the plateau, and the whereabouts of the Elf Headhunters were finally exposed on Commander Hekelis ' map.

Knowing the activity patterns of these Elf Headhunters, the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment won several consecutive battles, driving the hunters on the plateau into retreat.

Commander Hekelis ' confidence was also growing stronger...

However, in the following days, when the Elf Headhunters saw a large number of elven cavalry, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, resolutely refusing to fight against the elven cavalry.

And the elven cavalry pursued them valiantly...

Because they were unfamiliar with the high-altitude mountains, they were led into some horse traps by the headhunters and suffered several setbacks. Finally, the Elf Warrior of the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment abandoned their arrogance and once again used reconnaissance teams to search for the headhunters.

Almost simultaneously, Commander Hekelis immediately sought help from the headquarters of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, hoping that the legion would send more Silver Pegasus Warrior to line up.

Roy has been constantly scouting outside these days, and occasionally gets injured in confrontations with the headhunters. However, he carries Life Potion and knows Holy Light Art, so he can recover quickly even if he gets injured.

As a large number of Silver Pegasus Warrior from the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion appeared on the plateau, the situation on the Pagisto Plateau immediately reversed. After being surrounded and killed several times by the Silver Pegasus Warrior, the Elf Headhunters fled back into the heart of the plateau without looking back.

Commander Hekelis' Cavalry Vanguard Regiment immediately pursued the headhunters, heading towards the heart of the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy and Langbo were also in the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment.

The Silver Pegasus Legion won a great victory, and Langbo was the happiest elf. The Elf Headhunters withdrew from here to the heart of the highlands, and the Half-Elf hiding in the settlement were now safe.

Roy was completely forgotten by Commander Hekelis in the Tenth Reconnaissance Squad.
