Roy's Growth

Roy ignored Mulin.

He was looking down, sketching the Kaltim Mountain Range on a map of the Pagisto Plateau with Charcoal Pencil.

According to intelligence provided by the Griffon Cavalry, the Kaltim Mountain Range, which run parallel to the Sudaso Mountain Range and traverse the plateau from north to south, are the longest mountain range on the Pagisto Plateau.

It almost completely separates the western part of the Pagisto Plateau from the plateau interior.

Traveling west from the Gaxi Mountain Range, one must traverse the entire wilderness to reach the foot of the central section of the Kaltim Mountain Range.

Roy was still a little worried...

Currently, Commander Helik is leading 5,000 Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior from the North Mithril Mine into the depths of the wilderness, preparing to cross the Kaltim Mountain Range and directly enter the western central section of the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy will lead the Mine Guard to the Third Mine quickly, bypassing Ghost Crow Ridge in the Southern Plateau, and trying his best to keep the headhunters entering the western part of the plateau north of Black Crow Ridge.

This allowed Roy's Mine Guard and Helick's Rebel Army to form an encirclement in the western part of the plateau.

Even with the Griffon Cavalry leading the way in the Kaltim Mountain Range, it would be extremely difficult for Commander Helik to cross that snow-capped mountain.

Mulin brought the list of Guard Squad to Roy's office, wanting to finalize the list of Half-Elf Warrior heading to the Third Mine, since the North Mithril Mine also needed to have sufficient guard forces.

In addition to more than a hundred Gray Dwarf miners, there are nearly three hundred headhunter prisoners of war locked up in the Mithril Mine.

Although the Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior did not intend to take prisoners during the battle, some headhunters did survive the battle at the North Mithril Mine. These headhunters who escaped death were carried back to the mine castle by the Half-Elf Warrior of the North Mithril Mine. Some headhunters died due to their injuries, while the remaining three hundred or so headhunters stubbornly survived.

Qian Ning imprisoned these headhunter prisoners of war in the mine shafts of the North Mithril Mine, where they were to perform hard labor...

Therefore, at least three hundred Half-Elf Warrior must remain at the North Mithril Mine to North Mithril Mine safety.

Mulin wore only a tight-fitting leather jacket on her upper body, but her trousers were heavy armor, and the sound of metal armor plates rubbing together could be heard when she walked.

She sat in the chair and pushed the list of names in front of Roy.

Roy glanced at it twice before instructing a Half-Elf Warrior outside the door, "Go and invite Qian Ning over..."

Mulin rolled her eyes.

As a Half-Elf from the highlands, Mulin dislikes Qian Ning Sitney the most.

She had almost completely emptied the North Mithril Mine of the best Half-Elf Warrior, just to cause Qian Ning some trouble.

Qian Ning arrived quickly. Roy was still looking through the list when Qian Ning walked in from outside. Roy looked up at her and asked directly, "How many Half-Elf Warrior do we need to keep at the North Mithril Mine to stabilize the situation?"

"Three hundred Half-Elf Warrior will suffice. I have a way to get those headhunter prisoners of war to obediently mine in the mines," Qian Ning said confidently.

"Alright, I'll leave you three hundred Half-Elf Warrior, but be careful of those headhunters and don't underestimate their patience..." Roy instructed Qian Ning.

"Yes, Boss. I will keep a close eye on them," Qian Ning said.

Roy handed the list of the remaining Half-Elf Warrior to Qian Ning and said, "You can count the Half-Elf Warrior according to this list. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can come to me directly and I will help you coordinate."

Qian Ning took the list, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "No problem."

"No need to rush to answer me. If you have any ideas before you leave tomorrow morning, you can come and discuss them with me..."

Roy waved to Qian Ning, indicating that she could leave with the list.

Watching Qian Ning leave, Mulin, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but snort coldly, her eyes full of resentment and provocation.

Mulin is like a thorny Tribulus, always hot-tempered wherever she goes.

If Mulin had been silently observing Roy, trying to figure out if he was truly working to rescue the highland Half-Elf, then Mulin was still doing so.

Now she could tell the other Half-Elf with absolute certainty that Roy had been doing this all along, and that he was truly helping the Half-Elf...

This time, Leishande's caravan brought back a large amount of military supplies and Elf Biscuit from Padesto City, and also brought news from Padesto City:

This made Mulin realize some of the inside story...

In fact, the Padesto City military headquarters was probably taking a wait-and-see approach to the situation on the Pagisto Plateau.

They allowed the situation on the Pagisto Plateau to deteriorate without even considering taking any remedial measures.

Even Wagner Klayr, Elven Nobles, was running into obstacles everywhere in Padesto City. The Silver Moon Elf believed that the current situation on the Pagisto Plateau was beyond repair and were even unwilling to invest military supplies from their warehouses into the plateau.

If Roy hadn't won a victory in the southern Gaxi Mountain Range, the military in Padesto City would certainly not have provided any support here.

The situation on the Pagisto Plateau is gradually changing.

This time, Mulin witnessed the formidable fighting power of the Padesto Half-Elf Rebel Army. Mulin organized the young Half-Elf on the plateau, hoping that one day, these young Half-Elf in the Guard Squad could also grow up...

They possessed standard equipment provided by the Silver Pegasus Legion and had ample supplies, so there was no reason for them to be inferior to the Half-Elf Warrior in the Rebel Army.

She walked out of Roy's office, the hard heels of her tall combat boots clicking loudly on the floor.

After seeing Mulin leave, Roy closed the catalog list again.

When Leishande returned this time, he also brought him a handwritten letter from Klayr.

Seeing the familiar handwriting on the letter, Roy could deeply understand the despair Klayr felt when she was rejected everywhere she went in Padesto City...

Although Klayr successfully obtained a batch of military supplies from the Silver Pegasus Legion headquarters, Klayr felt no joy; instead, her mood became even heavier.

In his letter, Klayr said that he needed to return to Castleton City. He planned to first purchase a batch of Tree of Life Sap and magic potions on the Black Market, and then prepare other supplies.

Roy put down the letter and rubbed his slightly sore eyes.

He knew that Castleton City was the place Klayr was familiar with, and with the support of the Klayr family, Klayr would achieve twice the results with half the effort in whatever she did in Castleton City.

However, his setbacks in Padesto City this time might not be such a bad thing after all...

This time, Klayr's confidence was severely shaken, and she matured considerably.

Chief Tiprado is also making final preparations for the trip. The Griffon Corps will leave the North Mithril Mine tomorrow morning. They will first Kaltim Mountain Range to learn about the true situation of the Half-Elf there.

It is said that the headhunters have entered Black Crow Ridge in the Southern Plateau.

This actually means that the Highland Slavers have already taken a detour from the west and reached the southern edge of the Pagisto Plateau.

Tomorrow morning, Roy will also lead the Half-Elf Guard Squad away from the North Mithril Mine. The Griffon Corps will also need to provide some support, since the Griffon Cavalry can have a clear view of the situation on the ground from high in the air.

The remnants of the Rebel Army army fled to the Pagisto Plateau and wiped out several thousand headhunters in one fell swoop, catching Chief Tiprado off guard...

When the Rebel Army retreated to the northern part of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, they did not demonstrate such formidable fighting power.

Chief Tiprado knew of the decision made by Commander Helik: after defeating the headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau, they would set off from the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau and continue north to find the Half-Elf living there.

As Commander Helik said, the Half-Elf of Pattington Plane should unite instead of being scattered and disorganized across the plane.

Only in this way can the lives of the Half-Elf on the Pattington Plane improve.

The Griffon Corps now managed by Chief Tiprado has been completely transformed. The armor, bows, swords, and other equipment Half-Elf hunters have all been replaced with Standard Armaments supplies provided by the Silver Pegasus Legion.

These Half-Elf hunters also acquired a new identity— Griffon Corps cavalry, which can be considered a regular local armed force.

Chief Tiprado thought of Sun Island Bay on the south side of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range. Although the Half-Elf currently live in the forest north of Sun Island Bay, the southern territory of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range would only be fully opened up if Sun Island could be taken from the Sun Island fishmen.

Moreover, the area has abundant fishery resources, so the Half-Elf wouldn't have to eat sour green apples every day.

As they entered the desolate wilderness teeming with poisonous insects and snakes, Commander Helik turned back to look at the northern mountains of Sudasso, where the mining castle had already disappeared from sight.

Two griffins hovered in the sky, and the two Griffon Knight pointed out the way forward for them.

In fact, Commander Helik really wanted to ride a griffin into the sky and take a good look at the terrain of the wilderness.

At least you can know what the surrounding environment is like, whether there are large herds of beasts, etc.

This time, the five thousand Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior led by Commander Helik obtained a large amount of supplies at the North Mithril Mine.

This included 1,500 warhorses, enough to Elf Biscuit 5,000 Half-Elf Warrior for a month, as well as several Water Gathering Spell and Fire Gathering Art Magic Rune Plate. In addition, a batch of armor and weapons discarded by the Mine Guard Army were all given to these Half-Elf Warrior.

This time, Commander Helik led these Half-Elf Warrior to capture nearly two thousand argali sheep in the southern part of the Gaxi Mountain Range. These argali sheep were kept in the stables next to the castle at the time, and the headhunters did not have time to take them with them when they fled...

Five thousand Half-Elf formed a long, winding line across the wilderness. The Half-Elf Warrior could take turns riding their warhorses and rams, which ensured a steady pace of movement.

Commander Helik won the battle in the southern part of the Gaxi Mountain Range with ease. Besides being physically weak, the headhunters' biggest problem was that they underestimated the Half-Elf Warrior. Their fighting style was very peculiar; they always fought fiercely, exchanging blows for blows.

If fighting against young Half-Elf Warrior on the plateau, this reckless fighting style might be able to quickly break through Half-Elf Warrior defenses.

However, against well-trained Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior, this fighting style is tantamount to suicide...

Furthermore, the Half-Elf Warrior in the Rebel Army hated Slave Traders and would show no mercy in battle, which doomed the headhunters to failure.

Commander Helik originally intended to cross the Tianpu Canyon and rush directly into the Gazan Ancestral Land to seize the Headhunters' lair.

However, Roy worried that if they rushed into the Headhunters' lair, the Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior might suffer losses, so he suggested that Commander Helik lead the troops to the western side of the Kaltim Mountain Range.

"If you ask me, we should have come to the highlands in the first place. Life in Rampart Town is good, but there's always this feeling of being a dependent... like being watched every day. I've had enough!" a Half-Elf Warrior said as he walked.

One of his companions stopped, took a sip from his waist, and drank from the water pouch.

The sun was shining brightly, but the temperature on the vast plain wasn't very high. The wind blowing from the north carried grass clippings and sand, making it a little hard to open your eyes.

"Look, do you see that snow-capped mountain in the distance?"

"This time we're going to climb over that snow-capped mountain and rush to the other side. I heard there are a lot of headhunters there too..."

"Now I understand why headhunters are so rampant on the Pagisto Plateau. They're numerous and ruthless..."

A group of Half-Elf Warrior walked and talked.

Commander Helik took the reins from a Half-Elf, mounted his horse, and rode towards a nearby hill.

Once he reached the top of the mound, he could finally see the terrain around the wilderness.

Most of the area is covered with dense weeds and patches of thorny bushes. Even if you were wearing metal armor, you would probably get pricked if you tried to get through those places.

So the team avoided thorny bushes almost the entire way...

Commander Helik never expected Roy to give him so much support. Now everyone is of the same goal: to take down this group of Highland Slavers. Once the situation on the Pagisto Plateau is stable, he will go to the Gazan Ancestral Land to take a look.

I heard that it's a Hot Spring Valley, a lush canyon hidden among the endless snow-capped mountains. It sounds very interesting.

Commander Helik rode his horse down the hill, returned to the ranks, and gave the following orders:

"Let's hurry up and try to get through this area covered in thorny bushes before dark..."
