Tianpu Canyon

The room was quiet. Helick leaned against the wall and turned his head to look out the window.

In the courtyard, Qian Ning and a group of her subordinates were preparing dinner. Four rows of long tables were set up in the courtyard, and the tables covered with white tablecloths were piled with all kinds of food.

Helick brought over 5,000 Half-Elf Warrior from Rampart Town. Such a large army would require a huge amount of logistical supplies wherever it went.

A single meal will consume the entire supply of the North Mithril Mine for the next ten days...

Roy promised Helick that he would supply them with ample supplies for the foreseeable future, without including them in the Mine Guard, which was exactly what Helick wanted.

Regardless, these Half-Elf Warrior were all from the Rebel Army, and the Silver Moon Elf military would not allow them to enter the military system.

Helick wore a heavy Plate Armor, and his arms bore several scars...

Roy turned his gaze to the desk and asked Helick, "Rampart Town is doing very well now, both in terms of security and development prospects. Why do you still plan to leave Rampart Town?"

Helick lowered his head, stroking the hilt of his sword with his calloused hands, and said:

"Indeed, Rampart Town now. If it weren't for the riots in Padesto City, life in Rampart Town would be very comfortable."

Then he sighed softly and said:

"But not now. Even if the Rebel Army take off their armor and lay down their weapons, no matter what changes we make, the Silver Moon Elf military will always be wary of us. This is evident from the fact that Pattington has not been unsealed for so long. If our threat is not eliminated, the Pattington Plane may remain closed indefinitely."

Roy had also thought about this matter, and in fact, he didn't quite understand the Silver Pegasus Legion's leadership's actions.

Helick smiled and said, "We chose to stay because many of the Half-Elf Warrior who stayed were wounded. They needed to recuperate in Rampart Town for a while until they were fully recovered before they could prepare for their journey..."

Roy nodded.

Helick continued, "We are leaving Rampart Town now because other places need us, like the Pagisto Plateau now."

"Of course, besides the Pagisto Plateau, we also want to travel to other places."

"Back then, two Rebel Army leaders led a group of Elf Warrior into the unknown areas of the Pattington Plane. We were going to follow the path they took and go back to it. But now, I want to send these headhunters back."

"We can't let them keep having the misconception that ' Half-Elf are easy targets, don't know how to fight back, and are used to being oppressed.'"

When Helick said these words, he seemed to radiate a different kind of light.

Then, Helick said in a firm and powerful voice:

"The reason we rioted in the Padesto City was because the Half-Elf in Padesto City had been living under the oppression of Lord Alvis and were eventually sold into slavery."

"Now, the headhunters emerging from the Pagisto Plateau are the same. They think we Half-Elf are easy to bully and can be easily captured and sold to the mines."

"I don't quite understand... why do these highland natives also bully the Half-Elf?"

"If they dare to stick their hands out, I'll chop them all off to teach them a lesson..."

It's clear... Helick is a bloodthirsty Half-Elf Warrior.

Roy didn't think that way.

He only wanted to manage the eight mines he had taken over and rescue the Half-Elf miners from the mines; in fact, that was all he wanted to do...

Leading the Mine Guard to defend against the Highland Slavers was only a matter of time before they were forced to fight back when the enemy attacked right at their doorstep.

In fact, he hoped that the Silver Pegasus Legion could deal with the troubles in the Empress Ivini Islands and then turn around and eliminate the Highland Slavers here.

The headhunters who came from the north along the Gaxi Mountain Range were almost all tied down by Roy in the southern part of the Gaxi Mountain Range.

But headhunters heading south along other mountain ranges have already appeared on the southern wasteland of the Pagisto Plateau...

If these headhunters are allowed to cause trouble in the Southern Plateau...

It's estimated that it won't be long before even Roy's three Spinel Mine will be lost.

This time, the Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior annihilated nearly two thousand headhunters outside the castle of the North Mithril Mine, wiping out all the headhunters who had entered the southern part of the Sudaso Mountain Range in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, these headhunters didn't have anything valuable on them. Their War Blade were crudely made and could only be thrown into the furnace to be melted down into Metal Ingots.

Their leather armor was worthless; it could only be piled up and burned along with their corpses, producing only a stench from the smoke that came out of the fire.

Helick arrived at the Pagisto Plateau with a group of the Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior, which gave Roy a much-needed respite...

Only by dealing with the headhunters in the southern Gaxi Mountain Range can Roy be able to handle the Highland Slavers in other areas.

The most pressing needs of the Half-Elf warband, composed of the Rebel Army forces, are food and military supplies.

In fact, the warehouse at the North Mithril Mine still has a batch of Elf Biscuit that Roy brought back from the First Mine last time.

If this batch of Elf Biscuit were kept at the North Mithril Mine North Mithril Mine, it would be enough to feed the Half-Elf Warrior -elf warriors there for more than half a year. However, if it were provided to Helick's Rebel Army, it would only be enough to feed the Half-Elf Warrior of the Rebel Army for half a month.

Roy brought a large number of arrows with him, which could also be provided to these Half-Elf Warrior.

When the Rebel Army disbanded, their armor and weapons were not confiscated by the Silver Moon Elf military. Otherwise, if Roy were to deal with the weapons and equipment of five thousand Half-Elf Warrior, he really wouldn't have been able to do it...

Five thousand Half-Elf Warrior arrived in the northern part of the Sudaso Mountain Range, immediately plunging the North Mithril Mine into a predicament of resource shortage.

Therefore, Roy had no choice but to send Little Eugene. to the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau overnight.

Little Eugene knew Leishande.

Roy estimated that Leishande's caravan was still active near the First Mine. If he could find Leishande, he would have Leishande go to Padesto City to purchase a large amount of supplies, and then hire the city's wagon and horse companies to transport the supplies to the foot of the Pagisto Plateau.

The Silver Pegasus Legion has a temporary camp at the foot of the Pagisto Plateau. Although all the Silver Moon Elf Warrior of the Legion have withdrawn, that temporary camp should still exist.

Leishande could have simply stockpiled the supplies that couldn't be transported at the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain.

Otherwise, given the current size of Leishande's caravan, the supplies they bring up simply won't be enough to sustain so many Half-Elf Warrior...

Moreover, Klayr should be in Leishande's caravan right now. With her help, Leishande shouldn't have too much trouble procuring supplies in Padesto City.

Helick led five thousand Half-Elf Warrior northward...

Roy returned to the North Black Iron Mine Castle aboard Kaka's griffin. The Griffon Corps was carrying out a scorched-earth policy on the plains, driving all the cattle and sheep south.

Headhunters who want to hunt cattle and sheep must venture deep into the wilderness.

Even if they rode argali sheep and galloped wildly into the wilderness, it would probably take them two days and two nights to see any trace of the Unicorn Wild Ox.

Because the Griffon Corps frequently roams the area around Xiwana Mountain and Aorilian Mountain, the headhunters who originally lived in the wild were forced to gather in the two mining castles, which housed nearly four thousand headhunters.

The headhunters of the Gaxi Mountain Range mostly gathered in the two castles, with only a few hunting parties sneaking into the wilderness to hunt Unicorn Wild Ox.

In fact, these headhunters who entered the Gaxi Mountain Range were also struggling to survive in a dilemma.

Their route southward followed the Sudaso Mountain Range, and once they left the Sudaso Mountain Range, they reached the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau.

However, this route is currently blocked by the North Mithril Mine. The Highland Slavers want to enter the Sudaso Mountain Range but don't want their retreat cut off, so they have no choice but to find a way to take over the North Mithril Mine...

Unfortunately, they have been unable to crack the tough nut of the North Mithril Mine.

Furthermore, the North Black Iron Mine in Aidasi Mountain is no longer in the hands of the Headhunters, which means that a thorn is firmly driven into their retreat route. If this thorn is not removed, the Headhunters heading north from the Tianpu Canyon in the Gaxi Mountain Range will all face the threat of the Half-Elf Warrior in the North Black Iron Mine.

It is said that the Tianpu Canyon is the only passage through the Gaxi Mountain Range.

In recent days, griffins have been seen hovering above the canyon, causing headhunters to panic once again...

Tianpu Canyon is like the remnant left behind after an ancient Titan Giant cleaved the Gaxi Mountain Range in two with a giant sword.

The Gaxi Mountain Range were cut in half, and after thousands of years of wind Rainforest and sun, the Tianpu Canyon full of traces of rock weathering.

A squadron of headhunters guarded the southern entrance to Tianpu Canyon.

A dozen headhunters, armed with War Blade, patrolled back and forth at the canyon entrance.

This place happens to be a wind gap in the Gaxi Mountain Range. The howling winds in the canyon often blow sand and stones out of it, which over time has formed a narrow, elongated earthen platform on the opposite side of the canyon...

Headhunters stood guard at the entrance to the canyon, and every day some headhunters emerged from the canyon.

However, in recent days, the number of headhunters coming from the north has been gradually decreasing.

The entrance to Tianpu Canyon, viewed from a distance, resembles the spout of a teapot, with the narrow, elongated earthen platform in front of it resembling water flowing from that spout...

The southern entrance to Tianpu Canyon is less than 20 meters wide at most, and once you come out of the canyon entrance, you will encounter a soft sandy area.

As the sun set, the headhunters guarding the canyon entrance hid early beneath the rocky cliffs on the west side of the canyon.

During the day, the area at the canyon exit is fine; you can find shelter from the wind and bask in the sun.

But when night fell, the cold wind felt like knives cutting into my face...

At night, headhunters rarely stand foolishly guarding the entrance to the valley.

No other races will emerge from the canyon.

The headhunters, having endured a day in the cold wind, desperately needed to thaw their frozen bodies by the fire...

Roy watched the griffin gate fly into the night sky before beckoning to the Assassin Squad and the Half-Elf Warrior, signaling them to gather around.

Just below the rocky cliffs of Tianpu Canyon, by the campfire, Roy finally spotted the headhunters guarding the area.

By the firelight, these headhunters were eating their dinner.

Led by Timothy, the Assassin Squad has completely infiltrated the night...

Roy was followed by a group of Half-Elf Warrior, including Sabrina and Woods.

At this moment, the Assassin Squad began to slowly approach the headhunter in front of the campfire.

Roy led his Half-Elf Warrior to slowly surround them...

A headhunter sitting by the campfire suddenly looked up, sniffed hard against the wind, and then opened his eyes wide, looking toward the hiding place of Roy and the Half-Elf Warrior.

A howl escaped his lips. "The elves are coming again..."

Almost all the headhunters were invigorated, and they all stood up from in front of the campfire, looking in the direction the headhunter who had spoken was pointing.

Sure enough, amidst the howling cold wind, one could still hear the sound of hurried footsteps.

The headhunters immediately lit the torches they had prepared, each holding one, and headed towards Roy and the Half-Elf Warrior behind him...

Neither side roared; they simply engaged in a chaotic battle around the campfire.

Woods was the first of all the Half-Elf Warrior to charge forward. His body suddenly transformed into a Earth Tyrant Bear, and without even letting out a roar, he swept his fan-sized bear paws toward a headhunter's head.

Woods was enormous, and he charged forward with a claw strike. The headhunter raised his War Blade to defend, but the giant claw struck the War Blade's edge. A crisp metallic clang rang out, and the headhunter's War Blade was knocked away. Woods ' claw slammed into the headhunter's cheek, instantly revealing four bloody gashes...

The other headhunters also drew their weapons and surrounded Woods, the bear.

Roy and his Half-Elf Warrior immediately surrounded the Earth Tyrant Bear, swinging their longswords at the charging headhunters...

Meanwhile, the Assassin Squad that had circled behind these headhunters also launched an attack...

The headhunters seemed somewhat disoriented at night, falling one after another as they were attacked from both sides by the Half-Elf and the Dark Moon Elf.

The battle lasted less than an hour from its outbreak to its end. The headhunters guarding the entrance to the Tianpu Canyon were all killed by the Half-Elf and Dark Moon Elf brought by Roy. Afterwards, these Half-Elf Warrior did not rest, but immediately used the materials on the spot to build a stone wall at the entrance of the canyon.

By dawn, the more than 20-meter-long stone wall at the southern exit of Tianpu Canyon had begun to take shape.

After Roy led his Elf Warrior to raid the Southern Entrance of Skyfall Canyon, which was interrupted in the Gaxi Mountain Range, he did not immediately retreat, but instead prepared to build a defensive fortification at the canyon entrance.

At daybreak, the Griffon Corps transported the Gray Dwarf from the North Black Iron Mine.

These Gray Dwarf are natural-born stone movers and also quite skilled at building walls...

The Black Iron Mine Castle, on the contrary, has become somewhat empty.
