The afternoon sun was not warm, and a dry, cold north wind was blowing across the plateau.

In the distance, the grass on the vast plains has begun to wither and turn yellow, and gusts of wind blow, raising clouds of dust...

Roy emerged from the Black Iron Mine. The Half-Elf Warrior occupied the wellhead and several areas around the furnace, and the backyard had not completely fallen into the hands of the headhunters.

The glaring sunlight made Roy a little uncomfortable. He squinted as he walked to a pile of ore. Behind him followed four Half-Elf Warrior who nervously held up their Iris Shield. The headhunters had occupied the castle and were guarding the City Wall and Arrow Tower. They would throw some very powerful Short Flying Spear into the backyard from the high places.

Recently, more than a dozen Half-Elf Warrior have died from being pierced by Short Flying Spear.

Roy stepped onto the loose pile of iron ore, immediately attracting the attention of the Highland Slavers...

Roy's face was very different from that of an elf, so he was noticed by the Highland Slavers as soon as he appeared. Short Flying Spear Short Flying Spear fell, one of which struck a bluestone statue next to Roy, and the force instantly shattered the Stone Sculpture's head.

The four Half-Elf Warrior quickly raised their shields, trying to protect Roy from head to toe.

Roy, however, stood up straight and stared intently at the griffins circling in the sky.

One, two, three... there were so many that they were countless, circling high in the sky like a flock of crows.

Roy thought that Kaka would only bring Little Eugene with him when he came back this time.

With Kaka and Little Eugene alone, they could easily build an information network between the eight mines.

But plans can't keep up with changes...

The headhunters suddenly rushed out from the north and captured two Black Iron Mine in an instant.

Currently, the North Black Iron Mine where Roy works has also become an isolated island on the verge of collapse.

Roy also planned to have the Dark Moon Elf Warrior lead their friends to break out, while he would lead the Half-Elf deep into the mine to wage a guerrilla war against the headhunters.

The afternoon sun shone on Roy's face; although it didn't feel warm, it wasn't too glaring.

Roy squinted at the sky; beneath the clouds, at least a hundred griffins circled overhead...

That's right, this time Kaka actually brought a large flock of griffins, which circled in the sky in a magnificent display.

Roy waved his hand forcefully towards the sky...

The griffins in the sky were also constantly trying to lower their altitude.

The distance was too great for Roy to see the faces of the elves on the griffins, but he could see that each griffin carried two Half-Elf Warrior: a rider in leather armor in front and a half-elf Half-Elf Warrior behind...

Those standard-issue armors were probably stock from the First Mine warehouse, which Roy personally distributed to the group of Half-Elf Warrior.

Therefore, he was extremely impressed by this batch of armor.

The Highland Slavers stood atop the City Wall and Arrow Tower of the North Black Iron Mine Castle, watching the sky with a mixture of surprise and fear. The group of Silver Pegasus Warrior clad in silver armor had left the Pagisto Plateau, and in the blink of an eye, another group of Griffon Warrior had arrived.

Those headhunters who had suffered at the hands of the Silver Pegasus Warrior were somewhat bewildered. Hadn't they already left?

The headhunters watched the figures circling among the clouds, and their pent-up anger erupted. They shouted at the sky and threw Short Flying Spear, but the griffins Short Flying Spear too high, and the spears couldn't even touch a feather.

The Half-Elf atop the griffins were also testing the maximum range of the Short Flying Spear. Once they discovered that the Short Flying Spear couldn't harm them at all, the Half-Elf continuously adjusted their altitude and slowly descended.

Arrows shot from high altitudes are ultimately only affected by gravity and wind.

The Half-Elf have a hard time controlling their aim...

By flying the arrow lower, you can control its landing point within a general range.

Kaka rode a griffin, constantly trying to lower his flight altitude...

His companions kept reminding him to be careful of the Highland Slavers were hiding their strength, luring them down to the plateau, and then suddenly attacking to wipe them all out.

Kaka, however, was extremely anxious and didn't want to pay attention to any of this.

When he left, the situation on the Pagisto Plateau had not yet deteriorated to this extent.

But now, seeing the castle City Wall lined with Highland Slavers wielding Short Flying Spear, he knew things were not looking good...

However, along the way, even the Half-Elf Warrior at the Mithril Mine said that Roy was stationed at the Black Iron Mine. Kaka checked both Black Iron Mine Black Iron Mine and found that they had been completely captured by the Highland Slavers.

This Black Iron Mine is the last one, and Kaka's last hope...

But what he saw from high above was that the city walls were filled with headhunters, which meant that the Black Iron Mine Castle had fallen into the hands of the Highland Slavers.

When he looked down into the castle's backyard, he was surprised to find that some of the figures in the mine's backyard were actually Half-Elf Warrior.

Kaka tried to make the griffin fly lower, and the Half-Elf Warrior sitting behind him had already taken out a Forest Bow and was shooting arrows at the headhunters on the castle below.

The arrow, shot from above, fell almost straight down...

The headhunters on the City Wall were hiding everywhere.

Kaka suddenly spotted that familiar figure on a not-so-inconspicuous pile of ore. He was wearing thick leather Magic Inscription Construct and had a bulky copper book hanging from his waist. He was waving vigorously at the sky.

"Roy, I knew you'd be alright."

Kaka smiled and couldn't help but shout.

Kaka recalled the scene of their first meeting at Aperture No.3...

It was Roy discovered the Silvermoon Elven Nobles selling Half-Elf slaves in Padesto City, and it was he who ran to the Bulwark Village and ultimately facilitated peace talks between the Silver Moon Elf and the Half-Elf Rebel Army. It was also he who followed the Silver Pegasus Legion to the Pagisto Plateau to rescue the Half-Elf miners imprisoned in the mines.

Even now that the Silver Pegasus Legion has withdrawn from the Pagisto Plateau, Roy is still leading this group of Half-Elf to resist the counterattack of the Highland Slavers.

The Black Iron Mine Castle had been destroyed, and the Highland Slavers stared nervously at the sky.

Suddenly, a griffin folded its wings and swooped down. Its figure was as fast as lightning. Short Flying Spear grazed past the griffin, but none Short Flying Spear them managed to hit it.

Roy also saw the griffin swooping down.

He climbed onto the long-cooled abandoned furnace using both his hands and feet, stood on the top cover, and waved vigorously at the sky.

Soon, the Griffon Knight in the sky responded to Roy, swooping down and Kaka's figure becoming clearer and clearer in Roy's eyes...

Kaka, riding on the griffin's back, waved vigorously at Roy and shouted against the Roy:

"Roy, I'm back..."

Kaka's griffin broke through the blockade of the Short Flying Spear and plunged into the backyard.

The headhunters on the City Wall were trying to take advantage of the situation to storm into the backyard, but they were held back by a group of Half-Elf Warrior.

As dusk approached, the headhunters no longer wanted to continue their attack.

Because the Highland Slavers needed to evacuate the castle that night, and they didn't want to clash with the Dark Moon Elf assassins during the night...

At night, the Dark Moon Elf Warrior are at their most powerful.

So when Kaka crashed into the backyard of the North Black Iron Mine, the Highland Slavers had no intention of rushing in...

Apart from Kaka, the other griffins all soared into the clouds.

They kept circling under the clouds, while Kaka and Roy were already embracing. The Half-Elf Warrior sitting behind Kaka took off his helmet, revealing himself to be the dashing Mulin.

Roy went up and bumped fists with Mulin before asking Mulin:

"You came all the way from the Second Mine. What's the situation at the other mines?"

A Short Flying Spear landed beside Roy, embedding itself deeply into a rock with tremendous force.

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go inside..." Roy led Kaka and Mulin into the Black Iron Mine.

As Mulin walked, she said, "We haven't found any trace of the Highland Slavers around the three Gemstone Mine yet, but when we passed the Mithril Mine, we found that the North Mithril Mine was completely surrounded by a group of Highland Slavers, and we can only see a few scattered headhunter teams at the South Mithril Mine."

Roy then asked Kaka, "Kaka, how many griffins did you bring this time?"

"Besides persuading those guys in the village, I also went to other villages to try my luck. This time I brought a total of 150 griffins," Kaka said to Roy. "When we stopped at the Second Mine for supplies, we also met Captain Mulin."

Seeing that Kaka didn't continue, Mulin added, "I mobilized 150 Half-Elf Warrior and a batch of supplies from the Second Mine and asked Kaka to help transport them over..."

Unexpectedly, in addition to 150 Griffon Warrior, Kaka also brought Mulin and 150 Half-Elf Warrior this time.

Even more precious are the vast amounts of supplies; the North Black Iron Mine has now almost completely exhausted its resources...

Sabrina, Moira, Tiffany, and Klayr were also at the mine entrance when they saw Roy and Kaka walking in side by side, and they all greeted Kaka.

"Why are you all here?" Kaka greeted everyone warmly when she saw them.

"We've been here for over a week, and on the night before we were to leave, these Highland Slavers suddenly appeared and kept us here for good..." Klayr explained to Kaka.

"Now that you've arrived, we have the ability to retake the Black Iron Mine Castle."

After saying that, Roy turned to Captain Timothy, who was following behind, and instructed him, "Captain Timothy, organize men tonight to retake the castle..."

"Yes, Boss!"

Captain Timothy quickly agreed.

As night fell, the Assassin Squad hiding in the Black Iron Mine slipped out of the mine, concealed in the shadows.

As darkness fell, Kaka rode his griffin back into the sky.

The battle tonight will mainly depend on these Dark Moon Elf Warrior. Only after they clear the headhunters out of the castle can the Half-Elf Warrior take over the Black Iron Mine Castle...

Meanwhile, the Griffon Warrior in the sky must gather together to attack the headhunters' open camp on the opposite hillside.

The griffins won't swoop down...

The Half-Elf Warrior riding behind the griffin will use the Forest Bow to bombard the headhunters at the open camp...

As darkness fell, the Highland Slavers on the back City Wall began to withdraw.

As they walked into a corridor, a group of Dark Moon Elf Warrior suddenly emerged from both sides of the corridor and routed the headhunters.

The Dark Moon Elf Warrior were ruthless; in the blink of an eye, the corridor was littered with headhunters.

Roy, leading a group of Half-Elf Warrior were still able to fight, followed behind, quickly taking over various parts of the Black Iron Mine Castle, while also helping to deal with the headhunters who were seriously injured but not yet dead.

In this Night Battle, the Half-Elf Warrior riding griffins completely blocked the group of headhunters outside the castle.

A hail of arrows rained down, sending the Highland Slavers on the opposite hillside scrambling for cover...

These military supplies were stored in the warehouse of the First Mine. The warehouse contained a large number of arrowheads and shafts. Each of the Half-Elf Warrior carried three Fletched Arrow, and the arrows rained down as if they were free.

At night, these Highland Slavers warriors on the hillside had no idea where the arrows were coming from, nor could they retaliate...

These arrows completely blocked the path for the Highland Slavers to storm the castle.

The Highland Slavers inside the castle were constantly fleeing from the castle as they were pursued by the Dark Moon Elf Warrior.

That night, Roy utterly defeated the Highland Slavers at the North Black Iron Mine Castle. By daybreak, the castle was littered with the corpses of the Highland Slavers, and the opposite hillside was a scene of utter devastation.

The headhunters who had camped on the hillside had moved to the North Slope of Aidasi Mountain.

After daybreak, the headhunters made no attempt to recapture the castle.

One hundred and fifty griffins landed in the castle courtyard.

The supplies that Mulin brought for Roy this time were very simple: besides fruit and fish, there were boxes of arrowheads. These sharp Wolf Fang Arrowhead, crafted by the elves, could be used to make a sharp arrow once attached to the shaft...

With the help of griffins and Assassin Squad, Roy successfully recaptured the Black Iron Mine Castle.

It must be said that the Assassin Squad played a crucial role in this battle, but they could only unleash their full power at night, so to defend the castle, they still had to rely on the Half-Elf Warrior.

These days, the Half-Elf Warrior in the North Black Iron Mine have been constantly injured because of this, to the point that Roy had no choice but to abandon the castle.

Now that Mulin has arrived with the support of the Half-Elf Warrior, Roy has the confidence to retake the castle.

Moreover, with the Griffon Warrior that Kaka brought, the headhunters dared not fight back and could only retreat in disarray to the North Slope of Aidasi Mountain.
