Roy stood in the widest part of the mine shaft, holding a piece of paper.

This is currently the Dark Moon Elf camp. There are more than twenty tents set up around the mine. Four Dark Moon Elf live in a marching tent, which is quite spacious.

A Carbide Lamp hangs outside each tent; these Carbide Lamp, made with wicks polished from moonstone, are now commonplace in the mine.

Moonstone can continuously emit a faint, cool glow without burning.

In the mine, it was the most convenient lighting tool.

Roy stood on a high platform, waiting for a group of Dark Moon Elf to slowly gather around.

Every time Roy comes to the mine, something big happens.

The Dark Moon Elves dared not delay. Not only did all the Dark Moon Elves in the mine gather there, Dark Moon Elves who were supervising the Gray Dwarf ' mining operations also returned.

More and more Dark Moon Elf gathered in front of them, and there were many familiar faces among them, including Timothy and Tennyson, who were standing at the very front.

They were the best among the Dark Moon Elf Dark Moon Elf, with Timothy being the most popular, while Tennyson was an excellent assassin instructor.

If Tennyson hadn't taught these Dark Moon Elf some combat skills, the Dark Moon Elf in the Second Mine would definitely not be as powerful as they are now...

Timothy stood below the stage, smiling as he greeted Roy.

Although Tennyson is highly capable, he has a bad temper and his work style is not as smooth as Timothy's.

"Boss, is there anything we can do for you that you've called us here today?" Timothy asked Roy, looking up at him.

Roy looked away from the letter, then glanced at the Dark Moon Elf who had gathered around him, and asked Timothy, "Are all the Dark Moon Elf here?"

Timothy quickly said, "I'll go and count the number of people right away..."

After saying that, Timothy quickly went to count the number of Dark Moon Elf present. He was a very perceptive Dark Moon Elf.

Roy waited a little longer until Timothy came running back, panting, and said to Roy, "Boss, all the Dark Elf have arrived."

Roy nodded slightly.

He stood on the platform looking at the dark Dark Moon Elf in front of him. There were some Carbide Lamp hanging around, so the mine was well-lit, and at least he could see the face of each Dark Moon Elf.

All the Dark Moon Elf were staring at Roy with curiosity, wondering what Roy was going to say...

Roy clapped his hands, and the mine instantly fell silent.

Roy held up a piece of parchment from the office and said to everyone, "I have a list of personnel in my hand."

A month ago, I promised you all that I would ask my friends in Inohaus City to help me check the personnel list of the Dark Moon Elf in the Second Mine, mainly those prisoners with information. If you have completed your sentences in Inohaus City Prison, then I will fulfill my promise and grant you your freedom. Below, I will publish the list of those who have completed their sentences.

Galaher, Rodney, Dennis, Wells, Alger, March, Hubert, Mansfield, Jared, Romeo, Jonas, Gegil.

According to the investigation data, your sentence has been served.

So you don't need to stay in the mine any longer. You can take your personal belongings and leave with me in a bit. You're free now.

Of course, I hope that after you leave the Second Mine, you will have time to come back and visit. If you can come back occasionally, it will give the other elves serving their sentences here some confidence! Also, I have something else to tell you. I'm sorry, the entire Pattington Plane currently under lockdown, Teleportation Portal are temporarily closed.

Although you have regained your freedom, you cannot return to the Elf Continent yet and can only continue to live in the Pattington Plane for a period of time.

If any of you want to leave the Second Mine, my suggestion is that you can try to make a living in Padesto City or Rampart Town.

These two places are the two largest elven settlements in the Pattington Plane, and of course, the main inhabitants are Half-Elf.

If you'd like to embark on an adventure in the Pattington Plane, I'd be more than happy to oblige.

If you have such ideas, you can come to me at any time to apply for some supplies, such as a tent, a cooking pot, and a flint.

If you bring back a sufficiently accurate travel map at the end of your trip, I will pay you a reward.

Of course, there is another option: you can choose to stay. The Second Mine welcomes you all.

I'm sure you all already know that I'm forming a Mine Guard team at the Second Mine. In addition to the Half-Elf Warrior, I hope that some Dark Moon Elf Warrior will be willing to join.

Personally, I would prefer that you all stay.

Just as Roy announced the list of Dark Moon Elf Prisoners from the Second Mine who had completed their sentences, the Dark Moon Elves erupted in Dark Moon Elves, like a bowl of water poured into a boiling oil pan. Long-lost excited smiles appeared on their faces.

Originally, they thought they would be trapped in this mine for the rest of their lives, but Roy's words have undoubtedly given all the Dark Moon Elves new hope.

The Dark Moon Elves who were publicly called out by Roy were frequently embraced and blessed by the other Dark Moon Elf.

They were the first Dark Moon Elf to be released, and everyone hopes to hear news about their lives outside soon...

After announcing the list, Roy left the mine with the twelve Dark Moon Elf.

There were still some Dark Moon Elf in the mine who hadn't provided the truthful information before, and they were naturally filled with regret and remorse.

Upon reaching the surface of the second mine, Roy arranged a room for the twelve Dark Moon Elf.

Then, Roy took out the twelve travel bags he had prepared.

In each tarpaulin backpack, besides one hundred Kole, there is also an Elf Biscuit that can keep a Dark Moon Elf from going hungry for two weeks, and a leather water pouch.

Roy stood at the doorway and addressed the twelve Dark Moon Elf:

"The Second Mine is also facing a severe shortage of supplies, so this is all I can provide. Whether you stay or leave is up to you to consider. Of course, if you make a decision now, you can leave now..."

After saying this, Roy returned to his room.

That evening, Mulin ran over to report to Roy:

Of the twelve Dark Moon Elf he brought up from the mine, ten chose to leave, and two chose to stay.

Six Dark Moon Elf planned to go to Padesto City, another Dark Moon Elf was going to Rampart Town, and the last three Dark Moon Elf were going to travel south along the Pagisto Plateau. They wanted to travel around the Pattington Plane Pattington Plane explore its unknown areas.

Roy thought the last three Dark Moon Elf were quite resourceful, having the audacity to explore unknown areas of the plane.

Roy provided the three Dark Moon Elf with additional assistance, including a dagger, a Hardwood Bow, and three antidotes.

The ten Dark Moon Elf stayed at the Second Mine for only one night, and left the mine early the next morning with their packs.

Two Dark Moon Elf chose to join the Second Mine Guard, which surprised Roy somewhat.

After being locked up in the mine for so many years, he actually managed to resist the urge to go outside and look around, and instead stayed...

Roy arranged a dormitory for the two Dark Moon Elf and equipped them with Elf Long Sword Hardwood Bow, and standard armor, all provided by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion.

Roy summoned the two Dark Moon Elf to his office and told them that they would receive a salary of 1,200 Kole per month.

There are still four days of holiday left; I can save up the holiday time and use it all at once.

The two Dark Moon Elf were surprised to find that staying at the mine would actually earn them a substantial monthly salary. They thanked Roy with beaming smiles, not caring much about the holiday, since they were living at the mine and couldn't really go anywhere else...

The living conditions inside the fortress are quite good, with dormitories, a canteen, and Training Ground.

Sometimes, some Half-Elf would get together and play simple instruments like the organ and the recorder.

Every afternoon, you can occasionally hear cheerful tunes, filling the entire corridor with musical notes...

Rooms at the Second Mine Fortress are in short supply. Dormitories inside the fortress are generally given priority to mine employees and Elf Warrior of the Guard Squad.

Many Half-Elf have even started building houses outside the fortress. They don't need to select stones; the stones transported from the mines are just right for building stone houses.

However, Roy told the Half-Elf to wait a little longer, as the stones could be piled up below to build the foundation of the house.

After some time, once the Half-Elf from the settlement deliver the Pine Wood Roy ordered, the elves can build a beautiful little wooden house on the stone foundation.

So the Half-Elf in the mine began to look forward to the settlement sending the timber over as soon as possible.

Every day, some Half-Elf would even run to Mulin to ask where the timber had been transported, which annoyed Mulin to no end. She wasn't the foreman of the logging camp, so how could she possibly know the progress of that batch of timber...

The timber hadn't arrived, but the logistics department at the Valley Camp had delivered a new batch of supplies to the Second Mine.

Moreover, the Silver Moon Elf in charge of escorting the supplies was actually Commander Berkeley, who had just gone to the heart of the highlands. During this trip to transport supplies to the heart of the highlands, Commander Berkeley's skin had been tanned to a honey-colored hue.

He led the caravan through the mine gate and complained to Roy, "I only returned from the military camp deep in the plateau because I received an emergency transfer order from the military headquarters... So, considering how hard I've worked, let's quickly finish this unpleasant story."

Roy stood on the second-floor corridor, his hands gripping the railing, and asked Commander Berkeley, "I didn't expect you to be transferred back, Commander Berkeley. Did the Logistics Regiment deliver the supplies on the list I mentioned before?"

Commander Berkeley, holding up a stack of supply lists, replied, "It's all here!"

Speaking of the supply lists Roy submitted to the logistics department of the Valley Camp, almost all of them involved supplies that only Gray Dwarf would need.

Roy went downstairs and took the supply list from Commander Berkeley. He then discovered that the supplies being transported included a batch of salted fish, barrels of Orange Wine and wine, as well as some wheat flour and cheese from the Grimm Empire. Obviously, the latter were intended for the Gray Dwarf miners.

Once all the supplies were stored, the Logistics Regiment's pack animals drove into the unroofed stables, and Roy pulled Commander Berkeley aside to ask about the battle situation in the heart of the highlands.

There wasn't really any fighting going on. Wherever the Silver Pegasus Legion's Silver Pegasus Warrior went, the Mine Owners simply fled at the mere sight of them...

After suffering two major defeats on the battlefield deep in the plateau, those Highland Slavers fled all the way back to the southern part of the plateau, which was their Highland Headhunters.

According to Earl Swynborne's battle plan, the Silver Pegasus Legion will advance into the Southern Plateau and drive all the Highland Headhunters out of Pagisto.

Only in this way can we truly claim control of these mineral veins on the Pagisto Plateau...

Commander Berkeley sat opposite Roy and asked:

"Roy, things should be mostly settled at the Second Mine, right? When are you going to take over the Third Mine?"

"Has something happened at the military headquarters?"

Roy asked Commander Berkeley with some curiosity.

"The fighting in the Empress Ivini Islands is escalating, and the military's proposed solution is to transfer some Guard Regiment from the highlands to station on uninhabited islands on the outskirts of the Empress Islands," said Commander Berkeley.

"..."

Roy never expected it to be like this.

"Alright, then I'll take people to take over the Third Mine tomorrow."

"Although Wendell isn't very capable, many members of his family serve as officers in the legion. If you see someone named Wendell, be careful..." Commander Berkeley warned Roy.

Roy said, "I'll be careful."

Commander Berkeley didn't say anything more. He had come to the mine this time and seen the huge changes that had taken place in the Second Mine in a short period of time. He had gained a deeper understanding of Roy's abilities, which was why he reminded Roy.

Wendell was the adjutant to Commander Berkeley. In fact, Commander Berkeley was also helpless in some ways. Wendell was forced to serve by the military. Now that Wendell had such a problem, Commander Berkeley would definitely be held accountable by the military.

Moreover, in the end, it was the Commander Berkeley who transported a large amount of supplies all the way back to act as a peacemaker...

The next day, Commander Berkeley led the caravan away from the Second Mine, intending to take it to the heart of the high plateau once more.

Roy was also gathering the Guard Squad at the Second Mine. This time, he planned to go back into the mine to recruit some Dark Moon Elf Warrior to accompany him to the Third Mine...

Roy's attempt to gather the Dark Moon Elf Warrior in the mine went surprisingly smoothly.

A squad of twenty Dark Moon Elf Warrior was quickly formed.

Timothy serves as the squad leader, Tennyson serves as the vice-captain...
