361 Lord Roy

The Dark Moon Elf Prisoners in the cave laid down their weapons and walked to the edge of the cave wall, placing their hands on it while facing the stone.

Two Silver Moon Elf Archer kept their Feathered Sword nocked on their bows, vigilantly watching the group of Dark Moon Elf.

The Dark Moon Elf Prisoners who were still trying to crawl out of the narrow cave were desperately retreating, while the Dark Moon Elf behind them were still trying to climb in, making the narrow passage a chaotic mess.

The cave was filled with shouts and cries, and even some Dark Moon Elf were crying out:

"Our Chieftain was killed by those Silver Moon Elf! Let's rush in and avenge Chieftain..."

Despite their loud slogans, no Dark Moon Elf dared to rush in.

Vitas stared wide-eyed as he watched this six-person Silver Moon Elf squad single-handedly drive back a group of Dark Moon Elf.

Mulin picked up a reasonably intact dagger from the pile of scrap metal, put it in Vitas's hand, and said to him, "Take this, follow us later."

Vitas was dumbfounded. Judging from Mulin's expression, they seemed to still want to fight their way out.

Roy picked up the military dagger from the ground; its blade was as sharp as a needle. He turned to look at the Iris Shield on Captain Kepler's arm, and sure enough, there was a deep stab mark on the shield. It was just a hair's breadth away from piercing the Iris Shield.

Captain Kepler glanced down at the shield, grinned, patted the Iris Shield in his hand, and said with great pride, "See, my old buddy is still the most trustworthy!"

Walker and Mulin used ropes to tie up the Dark Moon Elves leaning against the stone wall one by one.

"If the attacker had used just a little more force, they might have pierced your arm as well. Be careful if you encounter an assassin like this again..."

Roy sheathed the blue-bladed military dagger and tossed it to Mulin; the Half-Elf Rebel Army on the plateau lacked such sophisticated weapons.

Mulin gripped the bayonet in her hand and said to Roy:

"Thanks, Roy!"

The Dark Moon Elves had mostly withdrawn from the narrow passage, and the outside was now completely silent.

There were more than twenty Dark Moon Elf Prisoners bound inside the cave. They squatted in a row along the cave wall, almost forming half a circle inside the cave.

Roy and Captain Kepler stood at the entrance of the cave. Roy cast ' Glimmer Illumination Spell ' again, sending a faint ball of light into the narrow passage to check if any Dark Moon Elf were lurking inside.

An archer drew his longbow to its full extent and crouched down behind Roy.

When the glimmer of light reached the middle of the cave, a Dark Moon Elf was found hiding in the narrow passage. He was pressed tightly against the cave wall, seemingly well concealed, but under the illumination of the Divine Light, the Dark Moon Elf's outline was instantly revealed.

The Silver Moon Elf Archer crouching behind Roy loosened his grip on the bowstring, and an arrow imbued with Wind Element flew out instantly.

Before the Dark Moon Elf could react, the arrow pierced his shoulder and went into his chest.

The Dark Moon Elf screamed and rolled around in the cave before being quickly pulled out by its companions.

Captain Kepler, holding the Iris Shield, slammed into the narrow tunnel first, Captain Kepler by Roy carrying the ' Hammer of Judgment Book '. In such a narrow tunnel, it was impossible to use martial arts techniques, so whoever had the longer weapon would obviously have the advantage.

I thought I would have a tough fight in the cave, but I didn't see a single Dark Moon Elf even after climbing to the end of the cave.

When Captain Kepler and Roy mustered their courage and crawled to a spacious area outside, the entire group of Dark Moon Elf had vanished without a trace...

Aside from some congealed bloodstains, only some messy footprints remained on the fragmented waste stone.

Mulin followed behind the two and climbed out of the Mine Road.

Behind her were two Silver Moon Elf Archer.

Walker and Vitas escorted out more than twenty Dark Moon Elf.

Seeing that there were no signs of a struggle in the empty cave, Vitas was even a little incredulous, saying with a look of astonishment, "They just got away like that?"

"If we don't run away, what else can we do?" Mulin said smugly.

These two battles inflated her confidence, making her feel that these Dark Moon Elf imprisoned in the mines were nothing special.

As the commander of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion's infantry Guard Regiment, Captain Kepler was only half a step away from becoming Second Rank powerhouse. He followed Roy into the mine this time because he was worried that Roy might encounter danger underground, and he would not be able to explain it to Earl Swynborne. Now he has some new insights into Roy.

He knew very well that it was the ball of light released by Roy that countered the Dark Moon Elf ' stealth, which was why the scales of victory tipped in Roy's favor.

He glanced at the bronze magic book hanging at Roy's waist, and then couldn't help but ask Roy, "Roy, are you Priest?"

"I used to be Novice Priest, but now the Goddess of Freedom Temple is closed. I'm just an ordinary student at the Elf Academy," Roy said modestly.

Captain Kepler pursed his lips and said nothing.

The Dark Moon Elf outside the cave escaped, so Roy led his squad members, escorting more than twenty Dark Moon Elf, toward the mouth of the shaft.

With Vitas leading the way, the team didn't get lost in the intricate Mine Road and quickly arrived at the bottom of the shaft. As for the Dark Moon Elf, they were too terrified by the team members to approach.

The team arrived at the mine entrance. Kepler sat in the Wooden Box and blindfolded the ten Dark Moon Elf before firing a Magic Signal Flare towards the mine. Soon after, the Wooden Box, which had fallen to the bottom of the shaft, was slowly pulled up from above.

This type of crane requires a winch to slowly pull it up, and the ascent is extremely slow. By the time Captain Kepler and ten Silver Moon Elf descended back into the mine, Roy had already been waiting at the bottom of the shaft for over half an hour.

Captain Kepler brought all twenty-odd Dark Moon Elf he had captured to the ground and then summoned fifty Silver Moon Elf Warrior.

Roy then led a group of Elf Warrior back to the Half-Elf miner camp.

In the cave camp, a group of Half-Elf miners gathered in an open space. They were ready to hand over their Gemstone Mine, which they had divided into two linen bags, waiting for the Dark Moon Elf to come and collect it.

For some reason, these Dark Moon Elf arrived rather late.

A group of Half-Elf miners couldn't help but discuss:

"Could it be that Vitas and his Silver Moon Elf squad evaded the Dark Moon Elves ' pursuit, and the Dark Moon Elves are still searching for them in the mines, which is why they haven't had time to come here to pick up the goods..."

"Hopefully they can escape the Dark Moon Elf ' pursuit!"

"Oh dear, you can't just say things like that. Those Silver Moon Elf insisted on causing trouble in the mine, angering the Dark Moon Elf and causing us to have to delay our delivery. Really!"

"Didn't they say they were going to rescue us? Didn't you hear what that Half-Elf female swordsman in their party said..."

"You're so naive. They're just saying that for show. Do you really think they'd risk going down the well to rescue us?"

"That female swordsman is Vesta's friend, she shouldn't be lying to us."

The Half-Elf miners had all sorts of opinions; many of them had been Half-Elf here for too long, and their hearts had long since become numb...

Only the young Half-Elf were still full of hope, constantly talking about the Silver Moon Elf Squad.

"I heard they've already taken control of the mine. If we could get more Elf Warrior, defeating these Dark Moon Elf shouldn't be too difficult..."

A series of footsteps came from the darkness, and a glimmer of light appeared in the cave.

"Stop talking, it must be the Dark Moon Elf. Quickly prepare the Gemstone Mine to be delivered."

There were only two linen bags on the ground, so no one had much to prepare. They were just a little uneasy, hoping that the Dark Moon Elf wouldn't cause any trouble.

But as the group drew closer, the Half-Elf realized that it wasn't the Dark Moon Elf at all.

Seeing Roy approaching with a squad of Silver Moon Elf Warrior, the group of Half-Elf were astonished and couldn't help but ask Vitas:

"Vitas, why did you bring them back again?"

Vitas stepped out from the ranks and explained to the Half-Elf miners who had come out to watch the commotion, "The Dark Moon Elf guarding the mine exit have been defeated by Lord Roy's army. Lord Roy is here to take everyone away from the mine!"

The group of Half-Elf miners could hardly believe their ears. The news was simply too shocking. They looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Perhaps because they had been under control for too long, they were somewhat unaccustomed to their sudden freedom. After a long while, one of the elves asked in a trembling voice:

"Vitas, what you're saying... is it true?"

Vitas immediately raised his right hand above his head and solemnly declared to everyone, "I swear... these are all true."

"Then what are you standing here for? Hurry up and tell everyone to come back quickly, we are finally going to be free..." an Old Elf shouted.

Immediately, a group of Half-Elf miners ran towards various mines.

Roy began to calm the trembling, excited Half-Elf: "There's no need to rush. Due to the limited transport capacity at the wellhead, we can only transport them up in batches, one hundred people at a time. Vitas, you just wait here at the camp to gather the Half-Elf. I'll leave a group of Silver Moon Elf Warrior to maintain order, and the rest of the Elf Warrior will come with me to find those Dark Moon Elf who escaped."

These Silver Moon Elf Warrior, having probably heard Vitas address Roy, responded in the same way:

"Yes, Lord Roy."

Roy was clearly still a little uncomfortable with this title, wondering what kind of adult he was...

Roy then thought: If he couldn't rescue these Half-Elf, then it would be a waste of the title ' Lord Roy ' that they called him.

Roy's mouth inadvertently parted into a grin, and he chuckled.

Patting Vitas on the shoulder, he said to him, "We need to gather a hundred Half-Elf as soon as possible..."

Turning to Captain Kepler, he said, "Captain Kepler, I'm entrusting you with the task of escorting the Half-Elf away."
