Melee

Behind the Dark Moon Elf Leader, dozens of Dark Moon Elf ran towards the cave at the same time. Their bodies gradually faded as they ran, and finally disappeared into the dark cave.

These Dark Moon Elf are all assassins; they can run stealthily in dimly lit places, and each one is incredibly agile.

In this mine, the Dark Moon Elf Prisoners not only enslaved the Half-Elf miners, but also drove the Gray Dwarf to the deepest part of the mine.

A hint of madness flashed in the Dark Moon Elf Leader's eyes; he felt this was definitely an opportunity.

If we can capture the group of Silver Moon Elf who have infiltrated the mine, we might be able to use them to blackmail the elves on the surface.

A week ago, a Rope Ladder was lowered down from the shaft, but the Dark Moon Elf Leader hesitated for several nights and didn't dare to climb it...

He himself didn't dare to try it, nor did he want to give others such an opportunity.

So the Rope Ladder just stayed there.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader heard from his subordinates that a Silver Moon Elf squad had stormed in through the shaft, wounded several Dark Moon Elf, and then disappeared into the mine.

Without hesitation, he led a group of Dark Moon Elf in pursuit...

'I am the king of the mine!'

The Dark Moon Elf Leader kept repeating this to himself, his gaze growing increasingly resolute as he watched his subordinates surge forward.

Vitas led everyone to hide at the end of an abandoned mine. There were no Spinel Mine visible on the surrounding rock walls, and a lot of waste rock was piled up inside the cave. The team members almost climbed inside.

The cave was a bit stuffy, but very safe. One Elf Warrior guarding the narrow entrance was enough to keep out any intruders.

Roy discovered that the Half-Elf miners in the Second Mine seemed to be very afraid of the Dark Moon Elf Prisoners.

Inside this enclosed cave, everyone could finally relax. Roy cast a ' Glimmer Illumination Spell,' causing a Divine Light to float above the cave ceiling.

This oval-shaped cave is less than twenty square meters in area, and there are traces of mining with pickaxes all around. Unfortunately, there is a large Lapis Lazuli here, and it is probably this large Lapis Lazuli that ultimately led the elven miners to abandon their excavation here.

Mulin leaned against the rock wall, still looking somewhat indignant.

She was somewhat angry and said to Roy, "We should have stayed and taught those arrogant prisoners a lesson."

Vesta, who was sitting to the side eating an apple, heard Mulin say this and, forgetting to finish his apple, whispered to Mulin, "Mulin, they are very powerful and ruthless."

Vesta swallowed hard, but ultimately didn't continue.

It's easy to see that the Half-Elf here have been terrified by the Dark Moon Elf Prisoners.

Mulin looked at Walker and asked, "Walker, how did you defeat those Dark Moon Elf Prisoners at your First Mine?"

Walker raised his head and said without hesitation, "We outnumber them. If they dare to come over, we'll trade our lives for theirs, and they won't be able to go back. Those Dark Moon Elf are actually quite afraid of death, and they gradually stopped harassing us."

Everyone fell silent, except for Vitas, who was munching on a sweet apple.

In the quiet mine, time seemed to move slowly, and even the sound of everyone's heartbeats seemed to be amplified infinitely.

"What do we do next?" Mulin asked Roy.

Roy walked to the mine entrance, which was mostly blocked by waste ore, and looked into the dark tunnel.

To enter the cave from the outside, one has to crawl in on their stomach over the piles of rubble...

"Let's wait and see. If they catch up, we'll fight them here. If they don't, we'll have to think of another way. Maybe we'll need to bring in some Elf Warrior from above."

His last words were addressed to Captain Kepler.

Captain Kepler, who was sitting to the side wiping his shield and longsword, nodded without hesitation when he heard Roy say this, "Leave this to me!"

There was a faint light on the rock wall, which looked like a moonstone was embedded in it, but the color was not quite the same.

The Dark Moon Elves, of course, did not know that it was Roy's ' Glimmer Illumination Spell ' that was emitting light, and they thought it was a moonstone with some unusual color.

There is a chance to find moonstone ore in this mine.

The miners here almost all carry Carbide Lamp with a moonstone wick, and the mine tunnels emit a soft light, which is not surprising.

"Chieftain, they should be hiding inside. There are still footprints they left here. Only those who went in..." a Dark Moon Elf skilled in tracking reported to the Dark Moon Elf Leader.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader nodded expressionlessly.

"Go in and take a look."

"Yes!"

Before long, a Dark Moon Elf crawled through the narrow mine shaft while invisible. As he cautiously peeked out from the cave, his figure gradually became visible in the holy light, but he didn't even realize that he had been exposed at the mine entrance.

He clung to the edge of the Mine Road tunnel wall with one hand, his body sprawled on the rubble like a lizard, and stuck his head into the opening, peering into the cave.

Several Elf Warrior wearing Light Armor were sitting against the wall. This squad was special. Apart from one Half-Elf miner, there were only three Silver Moon Elf, two Half-Elf, and a guy whose identity was unclear. He was wearing very good Thick Leather Armor.

The Dark Moon Elf Warrior was thinking that when the battle broke out, he would rush at him first, hoping to snatch the Thick Leather Armor he was wearing.

He looked around and saw only seven elves.

As he was retreating along the same path, he felt a chill on his back, as if a sharp sword tip was pressed against his heart.

He didn't dare to move. He struggled to raise his head, but before he could see who was pointing a long sword at him, a large hand covered his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the elves who had been sitting by the wall in a daze all ran to the cave entrance, and they hurriedly tied him up tightly...

He couldn't make a sound, and was bound like a dumpling, looking around in terror.

Roy and his group looked at the Dark Moon Elf with cold smiles, and no one showed any surprise.

It was only at this moment that the Dark Moon Elf realized that it was actually that foolish clown who was behind it all.

The first prisoner was tied up by Mulin and stuffed into a relatively hidden corner...

Immediately afterward, a second Dark Moon Elf crawled in to investigate, unaware that he was exposed to the Holy Light.

With almost no fighting, their bodies were stuck in the Mine Road, and Captain Kepler held a sword to their necks. Without any hesitation, Roy's squad captured another Dark Moon Elf.

Perhaps the Dark Moon Elf haven't tasted defeat in too long.

Perhaps these Dark Moon Elf had great confidence in their stealth skills, because the third Dark Moon Elf was captured in the same way.

Just as everyone was busy binding the third Dark Moon Elf like a dumpling, the fourth Dark Moon Elf, like an agile Night Blade Leopard, leaped directly into the narrow mine shaft.

Captain Kepler, who was guarding the cave entrance, was caught off guard and his defenses were breached by two Dark Moon Elf assassins lying in ambush behind him.

The Elf Archer waiting at the innermost part of the cave instinctively dodged to the sides and used his battle longbow to block the Dark Moon Elf's sneak attack.

Walker and Mulin rushed forward, and the two sides quickly clashed. Under the divine light, the Dark Moon Elf ' advantages were completely ineffective against Roy's squad. Roy and Vitas then joined the battle, and two Dark Moon Elf were quickly captured.

Only Captain Kepler crouched at the cave entrance, waiting for the Dark Moon Elves to walk right into his trap.

Clearly, the Dark Moon Elf behind them also realized there was something wrong inside the cave, and they stopped climbing further in.

However, there must have been a large number of Dark Moon Elves blocking the entrance. They refused to leave and waited for quite a while before more Dark Moon Elf began to climb into the narrow Mine Road.

This time, the Dark Moon Elves were smarter. Instead of foolishly peeking inside, they directly used their Elf Long Sword to stab Captain Kepler was guarding the cave entrance.

Captain Kepler crouched beside the cave entrance, shield in hand. As soon as he saw the Dark Moon Elf Warrior, two daggers were already thrust towards Captain Kepler ...

He quickly raised his Iris Shield and used it to block the daggers thrust at him by the two Dark Moon Elf.

The dagger struck the metal shield, making a sharp scraping sound.

Captain Kepler was struck by the combined force of the two Dark Moon Elf, causing him to stagger backward uncontrollably. The two Dark Moon Elf seized the opportunity to rush into the cave.

Captain Kepler barely managed to stay upright and slammed his shield into a Dark Moon Elf.

Unable to conceal their bodies, these Dark Moon Elf were not much stronger than the Silver Moon Elf.

Captain Kepler was a peak-stage Elf Warrior at the first level of the race. He had only been slightly careless, which gave the Dark Moon Elves an opportunity to take advantage of him.

This time, it was also a furious counterattack, and it immediately sent a Dark Moon Elf Warrior flying.

Although the Dark Moon Elves controlled the mine's exit, Dark Moon Elves were emaciated due to food shortages...

At this moment, the two sides clashed, and Roy's combat squad gained the upper hand.

Another Dark Moon Elf sneaked in through the mine entrance. Roy had already released the ' Hammer of Judgment '. A flying Holy Hammer suddenly appeared in front of the Half-Elf, mercilessly smashing the Dark Moon Elf away, sending him crashing heavily against the stone wall, his body quickly collapsing to the ground.

More Dark Moon Elf revealed themselves in the Divine Light, and this time Captain Kepler raised his shield to meet them.

Roy, worried that Captain Kepler might be at a disadvantage, followed behind him, his ' Hammer of Judgment Book ' acting as a shield, blocking the Dark Moon Elf ' attacks...

Mulin stabbed the Dark Moon Elf in the arm with her sword. The Dark Moon Elf following behind tried to entangle Mulin and rescue his companion from Mulin grasp...

' Hammer of Judgment '

With another blow from the Holy Hammer, the Dark Moon Elf's ribs caved in, and he collapsed to the ground.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader, who was following behind, had just climbed out of the cave when he saw this scene.

He was somewhat stunned, not expecting this elf squad to be so powerful. The sight of several Dark Moon Elf tied up with ropes in the corner made his heart sink even further.

He turned to run away, but a Silver Moon Elf wielding Iris Shield blocked his way.

Captain Kepler had been watching this Dark Moon Elf, who was used to giving orders, for a long time. When he saw him barge in, he naturally took the initiative to stop the Dark Moon Elf Leader.

At this moment, the stone chamber was in complete chaos.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader still couldn't figure out how the opposing Elf Warrior had managed to see through his invisibility.

Seeing a longsword come down, the Dark Moon Elf Leader quickly took a step forward, the blade of which almost grazed his stomach.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader drew his military dagger from his waist, and with a flick of his wrist, the blade pressed against Captain Kepler's left rib.

The Elf Archer behind noticed the dire situation on Captain Capetown's side and quickly fired two arrows amidst the chaos.

An arrow grazed Walker's nose and struck the Dark Moon Elf Leader squarely in the shoulder...

The armored Captain Kepler was forced to lean against the stone wall by the Dark Moon Elf Leader's repeated attacks.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader did not immediately pull out the arrow. Instead, he reached out and snapped the arrow off his shoulder at the base, then quickly dodged to the left...

The Dark Moon Elf Leader inwardly groaned, realizing that escaping the cave seemed impossible.

Dark Moon Elves were still crawling in at the cave entrance. The Dark Moon Elf Leader was still hoping to hold out for a while, waiting for the rest of the Dark Moon Elf to crawl in and gain a numerical advantage...

Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Mulin quietly circled around to the back of the Dark Moon Elf Leader.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader's neck was tightly strangled by Mulin. The Dark Moon Elf Leader struggled fiercely, grabbing the blade of the longsword in Captain Kepler's hand with one hand and trying to grab Mulin's wrist with the other...

Mulin seized the opportunity to draw her sword, and the Dark Moon Elf Leader's four fingers were instantly severed.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader let out a miserable scream of unwillingness. Breaking free from his restraints, he suddenly delivered an elbow strike, sending Mulin back two steps. Fortunately, Mulin was protected by a metal breastplate, which absorbed most of the force of the elbow strike.

Even so, Mulin was nearly knocked unconscious by the elbow strike.

Having broken free from Mulin's restraints, the Dark Moon Elf Leader tried to squeeze into the narrow passage at the cave entrance, but was struck in the back by Captain Kepler's swung shield, collapsing onto the pile of rubble.

Roy caught up just then, carrying the Holy Scepter Holy Scepter, and smashed it hard on his head.

The Dark Moon Elf Leader's head shattered instantly, splattering a cloud of thick blood.

Seeing the Dark Moon Elf Leader leader beheaded, Roy quickly raised his scepter in the cave and shouted loudly in Elven Language:

"The Dark Moon Elf Leader has been beheaded, and I accept the surrender of the remaining Dark Moon Elf!"

Upon seeing their Chieftain's corpse, the Dark Moon Elf Prisoners lost all will to fight and retreated toward the exit, only to be blocked in the cave by Captain Kepler.

"Everyone, any elves who don't want to continue fighting and want to surrender, put down your weapons, step back against the wall, and stand firmly against it..."

Roy's voice echoed in the cave.
