Executive Roy
A light drizzle began to fall on the streets of Padesto, and Klayr walked in the rain with an umbrella.
During this period, he has been actively working on matters related to the Pagisto Plateau.
Aside from the day he paid the spinel to the military logistics department and received a batch of Elf Biscuit in return, almost all the military supplies Roy asked him to collect were rejected by the Chief Commander of the Padesto military headquarters.
The Logistics General of the Pagesto military headquarters did not respond at first, but later Klayr met with him. However, during this meeting, Klayr did not convince the Chief Commander.
Even the Chief Commander said to Klayr in a veiled way:
"You're the youngest musician in Castleton City, and a Silvermoon Elven Nobles. I don't understand... why are you acting as an advocate for these Half-Elf?"
Klayr knew that the Logistics General would not provide any additional military supplies to the Pagisto Plateau.
Meanwhile, Earl Swynborne, who had always supported Roy, was leading the Silver Pegasus Legion in a battle against the Gray Dwarf on the Empress Ivini Islands, and had no time to attend to the events on Pattington Plane.
Currently, the military is pouring all its military supplies into the Empress Ivini Islands. Even if there are still some reserves in the warehouses, the Logistics General has no intention of sending them to the quagmire of the Pagisto Plateau.
Klayr had lost a lot of weight in the past few days. He never imagined that there would be such a deep divide between the Silver Moon Elf and the Half-Elf...
He had just prepared a batch of supplies for Leishande, most of which were collected from Half-Elf merchants in the Padesto City. He also contacted a local carriage company and hired more than two hundred carriages to transport the supplies to the Valley Camp on the edge of the Pagisto Plateau.
Klayr planned to follow Roy's plan, using the Teleportation Pass to leave Pattington and return to Castleton City, where she would purchase military supplies and Tree of Life Sap from Castleton City Black Market.
A carriage stopped at the side of the street. Klayr turned her head and saw that the coachman had jumped down from his seat, stood on the side of the street, bowed to him, and opened the carriage door for him...
Klayr nodded, bent down to fold her umbrella, and stepped into the carriage.
On the rainy streets, some Half-Elf hurried along.
He said to the coachman, "Take me to the Teleportation Portal in the Central Square."
The coachman closed the carriage door for him.
He sat back in the driver's seat, cracked the whip in the rain, and the carriage sped towards the Central Square of Padesto City...
Klayr arrived in Padesto City full of confidence, only to leave the city utterly disappointed, leaving her somewhat disheartened.
Even though Klayr was in a terrible mood, the thought of Roy still fighting the headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau didn't deter her from giving up...
In the rain, the street leads all the way to the Central Square, and the Teleportation Portal towering over the Central Square gradually becomes clearer.
The carriage wheels rolled through the rainwater on the street and soon came to a stop next to the Central Square.
Because of the rain, the Central Square, which was usually piled with supplies, was deserted. Klayr held an umbrella and walked toward the two guards in front of the Teleportation Portal.
Klayr handed the pass to the Teleportation Portal guard. Upon seeing the Silver Pegasus Legion's seal on the pass, the guard straightened up and gave Klayr a crisp military salute. "Sir, please wait a moment!"
Klayr knew without the Teleportation Portal guards' warning that the Teleportation Portal was currently in a state of traveling from Pattington Island to the Pattington Plane, and that going back to Pattington Island at this time would be extremely dangerous.
He nodded and asked the Teleportation Portal guard, "How much longer?"
"It will take about fifteen minutes," the Teleportation Portal guard said hastily.
Klayr saw a waiting area next to the Teleportation Portal, so she took her umbrella and went to the shelter in the waiting area. There were only three Silver Moon Elf chatting together there, seemingly also waiting to go through the Teleportation Portal and return to the Elf Continent.
Although the Pattington Plane is currently under blockade by the Silver Pegasus military, many privileged Silver Moon Elf can still freely enter and exit the Pattington Plane with special passes.
Klayr stood in a corner of the waiting area, in a terrible mood, with no desire to exchange pleasantries with anyone...
Noticing Klayr's grim expression, the three Silver Moon Elf wisely refrained from approaching to exchange pleasantries.
Klayr looked up at the gray clouds in the sky. The entire Padesto City was shrouded in rain, and the road conditions in the jungle would probably be very bad. Leishande might suffer a bit in the next couple of days.
Just as Klayr looked up at the sky, a group of young Half-Elf suddenly appeared on the street outside the Central Square. They ran wildly along the street, shouting as they ran, "Good news has come from the Pagisto Plateau..."
"Good news has come from the Pagisto Plateau..."
"Roy, the Mine Owners, led his Half-Elf Guard Squad to defeat the Highland Slavers in the southern part of the Gaxi Mountain Range..."
Klayr only caught a glimpse of the young Half-Elf running through the rain.
He stood there, stunned, never expecting to hear good news from the Pagisto Plateau at this moment.
He had just returned from the North Black Iron Mine, and no one knew the situation North Black Iron Mine better than him: the entire southern part of the Gaxi Mountain Range was almost overrun, and with only four hundred Half-Elf Warrior and one hundred Dark Moon Elf Warrior from the North Black Iron Mine, Roy was absolutely no match for the thousands of Highland Slavers...
With a hint of doubt, Klayr didn't even open an umbrella and ran to the street in the rain, wanting to ask these Half-Elf for more details.
Just then, a carriage from the Silver Pegasus Legion's Padesto City military headquarters sped by, its wheels splashing through the street, creating a long trail of water...
As the coachman pulled on the reins, the carriage stopped on the street not far ahead of Klayr.
Three military officers rushed out of the carriage and hurried to Klayr. The three Silver Moon Elf officers greeted Klayr with great joy:
"Klayr, I've finally found you!"
"... A report of victory has come from the Pagisto Plateau. The Chief Commander heard that the Mine Owners the Roy Mine has taken control of the situation there and instructed us to find you. The military will be providing a batch of military supplies to the Pagisto Plateau this time. However, there is no logistics Transport Team here. All the Logistics Regiment are in the Empress Ivini Islands. The Chief Commander would like to ask you, if we provide you with a batch of military supplies now, are you capable of transporting them to the Pagisto Plateau?"
Seeing the fake smiles plastered on the faces of the three Silvermoon officials, Klayr was so angry that her teeth itched. She really wanted to kick each of them and then send them flying...
These same guys were the ones who obstructed things a few days ago, but now they've changed their tune and are coming over to offer military supplies.
"Yes, we have a way to get this batch of military supplies to Pagesto!" Klayr said quickly.
Although Klayr wanted to refuse, the thought of Roy's difficult situation on the Pagisto Plateau made her smile appear even more friendly.
"That's good, that's good... Come with us back to the military headquarters to complete the handover procedures!"
The three Silver Moon Elf officials practically escorted Klayr as she boarded the military carriage...
As news of the victory on the North Slope slopes of Aidasi Mountain in the Gaxi Mountain Range spread throughout the Padesto City, countless Half-Elf flooded the streets to cheer and celebrate.
When Klayr caught up with Leishande, Leishande's caravan was almost out of the jungle south of Padesto.
When Leishande heard from Klayr that there was another batch of military supplies waiting for him to transport to the plateau Padesto City, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately led his caravan back to Padesto City, received the supplies, and headed to the First Mine.
All the way there, they kept praising Klayr's resourcefulness; she actually managed to get a batch of military supplies from the military! It was clear that the Silver Moon Elf had gone to great lengths to help the Half-Elf this time...
What Leishande didn't know was how many times Klayr had been turned away and refused entry by the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padesto City.
It's unclear whether this batch of military supplies can actually be considered as Klayr having requested it.
A report of victory from the southern Gaxi Mountain Range made the Chief Commander realize one thing: if this risky operation to suppress Roy had failed, the Earl Swynborne would have dealt with him severely. Fortunately, there was still time to make amends.
That's why, as soon as the good news came back, he took the initiative to find Klayr and send out the military supplies in the warehouse...
Throughout the entire Pagisto Plateau, only the mines along the Sudaso Mountain Range Gaxi Mountain Range, where Roy was located, were not captured by the Highland Headhunters Highland Headhunters; almost all the other mines fell into their hands.
Some mines have been returned to their original Mine Owners by headhunters.
Of course, the price these Mine Owners had to pay was extremely high. In order to regain control of the mines, these Mine Owners gave a large amount of their accumulated wealth to these headhunters. Some Mine Owners, unable to raise the required fees, made certain promises.
Headhunters are used to doing business with Mine Owners, so they aren't afraid of Mine Owners defaulting on payments...
At this time, news that nearly six thousand headhunters had been buried by Half-Elf Warrior in the southern part of the Gaxi Mountain Range quickly reached the ears of other headhunters.
The other three groups of headhunters had already reached some mountains in the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, but upon hearing this devastating news, they immediately led their headhunters back from the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau...
No headhunter team wants to be at the forefront and risk this trouble.
It was precisely because the headhunters suddenly backed down at this moment that Roy had some time to deploy the Half-Elf Guard Squad.
The Gray Dwarf who survived the three Black Iron Mine were all brought by Roy to the Southern Entrance of Skyfall Canyon. There, they had only one thing to do: build the stone wall at the south entrance.
When the first battle took place on this stone wall, the stone wall, which was only about twenty meters long and five meters high, had almost collapsed by half.
After all the headhunters in the southern Gaxi Mountain Range were wiped out, Roy gathered all the surviving Gray Dwarf from the three mines and brought them to the Southern Entrance of Skyfall Canyon to build this stone wall.
When the Gray Dwarf built the stone wall this time, they poured a lot of mud into the gaps between the stone slabs, and the thickness of the entire stone wall at the bottom was more than 20 meters. Roy planned to build this stone wall facing the Tianpu Canyon to 60 meters high, and then build two large arrow towers on both sides of the stone wall to defend against the headhunters from the north.
Helick originally planned to head north along the Tianpu Canyon and directly into the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau.
However, after discussing with Roy for several days, we realized that this was too risky. Once the Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior entered the northern part of the plateau, they would immediately be isolated and helpless. At that time, Roy might not be able to provide them with any support.
Moreover... there are currently a large number of headhunters preparing to flood into the Pagisto Plateau.
Therefore, Roy persuaded Commander Helik to lead his Half-Elf Warrior westward along the plains, crossing the Kaltim Mountain Range on the western side of the plains. This would allow them to circle around to the western side of the Pagisto Plateau. Although the Headhunters had already occupied most of the mines there, the only advantage for the Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior fighting there was the lack of a long supply line. Roy's Griffon Corps could fly across the Kaltim Mountain Range in just one day and one night. Roy's idea of establishing an aerial supply line with the Griffon Corps was definitely not just wishful thinking.
The two sat before a map of the Pagisto Plateau, pondering for several days. Finally, Commander Helik adopted Roy's suggestion and decided to lead the Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior to the western side of the plateau...
However, before heading to the Kaltim Mountain Range, Roy asked Commander Helik to stay on the plains for a while, until the Griffon Corps brought back a batch of supplies from the Valley Camp at the foot of the southern side of the Pagisto Plateau to replenish the group of Half-Elf Warrior, before Roy allowed Commander Helik to lead the team away.
During this period, Mulin also transferred nearly 600 Half-Elf Warrior from the Second Mine. Together with the original 400 Half-Elf Warrior from the North Black Iron Mine, and the Mine Guard team following Roy, the number of Half-Elf Warrior successfully exceeded 1,000, and the Assassin Squad also expanded to 200 people.
The letter of appointment given to Roy by the Padesto military headquarters lay on Roy's desk. The envelope had been opened, revealing a letter of appointment, even bearing the seal of the Padesto military headquarters. The letter's wording was simple: ' Roy is temporarily appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Pagisto Plateau Mines, responsible for the recapture and operation of all mines on the Pagisto Plateau!'
The letter of appointment was clearly not in the handwriting of Earl Swynborne. According to the letter Klayr sent, the man who was now the commander-in-chief of the Silver Pegasus Legion in Padesto City was not very friendly to Half-Elf...
Roy rubbed his forehead, and hearing a knock at the door, he said:
"Please come in..."
Mulin walked in carrying a thick list of names, then plopped down in the chair opposite Roy and yelled at Roy, "Boss, everything's ready here. When do we leave?"
