Ghost Crow Ridge
Roy led the Mine Guard to the Third Mine, just as the headhunters occupied Ghost Crow Ridge.
The Third Mine is the closest mine to Ghost Crow Ridge, and headhunters have already set their sights on it. Seeing that the fortress of the Third Mine is full of Half-Elf Warrior, the headhunters who came to investigate did not make any rash moves.
A group of headhunters, who were lying in ambush on the rocky cliffs, were huddled in fur rugs.
Their bodies were covered with dark rocks, and their heads were covered with a layer of Iron Caltrop, making them blend perfectly into the mountainside.
The headhunters could see the roof of the Third Mine Fortress simply by looking down.
However, several griffins were hovering in the sky at this moment, making the headhunters afraid to stick their heads out or even move, for fear of being discovered by the griffins...
They waited until evening before the headhunter on the cliff finally poked his head out to look at the Third Mine.
At this moment, lights were on in every room of the Third Mine Fortress, and there were noticeably more guards on the City Wall than yesterday.
The headhunters had planned to sneak into the fortress under cover of night and take back the Third Mine Third Mine the Half-Elf if it was understaffed, but now that the Third Mine Third Mine suddenly become very lively, it was clear that more people had been added to it.
The headhunters hiding on the cliff immediately abandoned their plan to raid the Third Mine.
As a group of Half-Elf inside the fortress cheered, the sound even drowned out the howling wind, reaching the ears of the headhunter on the cliff top.
The headhunters exchanged bewildered glances. Even the most oblivious among them knew that a large number of Half-Elf must have arrived at the Third Mine as reinforcements.
Roy and his thousand Half-Elf Warrior successfully arrived at the Third Mine that afternoon.
When Half-Elf Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard met them at the Third Mine, they immediately welcomed them into the fortress. Although they had heard the news of the victory in the battle in the Gaxi Mountain Range, they knew nothing about the details of the battle and wanted to know how the mine Guard Squad had defeated the headhunters in the Gaxi Mountain Range.
As the Mine Owners, Roy was naturally welcomed by all the Half-Elf in the Third Mine.
The Half-Elf stood in the courtyard, looking at Roy with adoration, watching Roy walk into the room on the third floor, surrounded by a group of Half-Elf Warrior.
Woods and Miss Tiffany, who were standing next to Roy, were also the focus of everyone's attention.
The Half-Elf were whispering amongst themselves; the battle in the Gaxi Mountain Range had already been circulated in several versions...
Of course, the fact that they were able to lead the Half-Elf Warrior to defend against the headhunters on the plateau was something that made the Half-Elf grateful.
Roy quickly wiped his face with a towel in the room, rested for a while, and then returned to the arched terrace in the third-floor corridor. He gripped the railing with both hands and addressed the Half-Elf who still lingered in the courtyard:
"Everyone, please disperse. After spending one night at the Third Mine, we will soon set off for Black Crow Ridge. Our soldiers have been traveling through wind and rain these past few days, and they need a good night's rest to recover their strength!"
"Boss Roy, you led the Mine Guard to defeat the Highland Slavers in the Gaxi Mountain Range. Are you going to Ghost Crow Ridge this time to drive the Headhunters back to the Northlands?" A Half-Elf asked loudly in the courtyard, mustering his courage.
"That's right. This time we're heading to Ghost Crow Ridge to take care of the headhunters there and, incidentally, reclaim some of the mines!" Roy said calmly, leaning on the railing.
He spoke with great confidence.
Not long ago, he had successfully received news that Commander Helik had led the Rebel Army to the western part of the Kaltim Mountain Range.
This is why he couldn't stay at the Third Mine for even one more day before rushing off to Ghost Crow Ridge.
Once Commander Helik starts putting pressure on the headhunters in the western part of the plateau, the situation at Ghost Crow Ridge will deteriorate instantly...
The best course of action is for Roy to establish a foothold in Ghost Crow Ridge Ghost Crow Ridge with the Mine Guard Army before the situation deteriorates.
The Half-Elf below cheered when they heard that Roy was about to march into Ghost Crow Ridge.
Roy then returned to the room, which had a window on the other side. Roy pushed open the wooden window and looked out at the twilight.
Roy was very happy to return to the Third Mine and receive a warm welcome from the Half-Elf Third Mine.
He had asked himself more than once: 'Is this the life I want?'
Roy felt that what he did on the Pagisto Plateau wasn't actually what he most wanted to do...
It's just that one thing after another came straight to his face, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.
Now that he has taken over eight mines and fought a major battle with the headhunters, even if Roy wants to back down now, what will happen to the Half-Elf who have gathered around him?
Patting his forehead and letting the wind from the window blow on his face, Roy felt a little more awake.
There were many Half-Elf chatting outside, and it was clear that the Half-Elf living in the Third Mine were also eager to know about the situation outside.
The battle in the Gaxi Mountain Range buried nearly six thousand Highland Slavers. When the news reached the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, the name ' Roy the Mine Owners ' became known to all the Half-Elf of the Pagisto Plateau.
When Roy was very young, Ms. Belinda told Roy that as an elf, one should: love bravely, pursue dreams, and help those around them to the best of one's ability.
Roy felt he was doing his best to do these things. He could feel Moira's deep affection for him. Actually, having a well-behaved and cute Half-Elf girl quietly standing by his side was a very good feeling for Roy.
Every time I see Moira's clear eyes and sweet smile, it's as if all my worries can be left behind.
As for Roy's dream, if this question had been asked to him three years ago, Roy probably wouldn't have been able to answer it, but now Roy's dream is to find the Holy Light...
After arriving at the Third Mine, the Assassin Squad disbanded on the spot, and the Dark Moon Elf Warrior went to their assigned dormitories to rest.
We need to head to Ghost Crow Ridge tomorrow morning, so the Assassin Squad has no missions scheduled for tonight.
Although Moira was with the Assassin Squad squad, her accommodation was not arranged to be with the Dark Moon Elf Warrior.
Before leaving, Vice Captain Tennyson patted Moira on the shoulder and told her, "Take a good rest. The next few days might be tough..."
Moira touched the hilt of the Thrust Sabre at her waist with one hand, a gesture that had become almost a habit.
Although she appeared sweet and demure standing in the courtyard, the Dark Moon Elf who knew her well knew that there were at least twenty stars painted on the hilt of the Thrust Sabre at her waist.
Even Vice Captain Tennyson had to admit that Moira possessed exceptional Dark Moon Elf bloodline talent...
Of course, every Dark Moon Elf Warrior has the talent of stealth.
But Captain Tennyson praised Moira for more than just these qualities; she also possessed extremely keen senses, such as the ability to anticipate danger, a sharp sense of smell for prey, and the ability to control her surroundings, among other things.
At this time, the Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard team also went to find the dormitories that had been arranged.
Moira quickly ran to Sabrina's side and followed Sabrina to their room with Miss Tiffany. The room was on the third floor, and because of Miss Tiffany, it not only had a bathroom but also a very nice bathtub.
Sabrina currently serves in the Guard Squad, where she is responsible for training the Half-Elf Warrior in martial arts...
Seeing Moira approach, Sabrina put her arm around her shoulder, and the two talked quietly about what they had encountered on the way, slowly walking up the stairs.
Back in their room, the two heard the sound of water splashing coming from the bathroom...
For a Naga Sea Clan, no matter where they go, the first thing they do is to revert to their original form and take a good bath.
"Roy told me this morning that I had to persuade you no matter what. The Guard Squad will be entering Ghost Crow Ridge soon, and the Assassin Squad will be going on missions frequently. Roy doesn't want you to go out and take risks," Sabrina whispered in her sister's ear, her arm around her sister's shoulder.
"Okay, sis, I'll try my best to avoid dangerous missions."
Moira responded softly, her narrowed eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
Sabrina knew that Moira wouldn't listen to advice so easily. She had completed more than a dozen missions in the Moira Gaxi Mountain Range and had become a qualified assassin. Naturally, she wouldn't give up so easily now.
The two leaned against the window and chatted quietly.
From here, you can see a small stream on the hillside, and in the distance, a slope covered with moss.
The Mine Guard only stayed at the Third Mine for one night. After replenishing their supplies there, the Mine Guard continued westward along the mountain ridge.
The end of this mountain range happens to meet Ghost Crow Ridge. A large number of headhunters appeared in Ghost Crow Ridge. Roy did not want to let these headhunters into the Southern Plateau, so he wanted to intercept them in Ghost Crow Ridge.
Sabrina followed the procession of Half-Elf Warrior, riding a warhorse, her face expressionless beneath her helmet.
She removed the visor and stuck it on top of the helmet.
This heavy armor was quite substantial, and her warhorse was clearly struggling more than the others.
As a Sword Dancer, Sabrina always charges ahead in every battle, leading from the front.
After several battles, the Half-Elf Warrior in the party had complete faith in Sabrina...
She could hold off several headhunters single-handedly, Half-Elf Warrior loved to fight alongside her.
In truth, Mulin had always envied Sabrina. Although Mulin was the most outstanding among these young Half-Elf -Half-Elf, many of them did not show her the same respect as Sabrina ...
In the sky, Kaka rode his griffin, staring down at the dark thickets, searching for the headhunter's trail.
The Griffon Corps was the first to arrive at Ghost Crow Ridge, Griffon Cavalry ' mission was to find the Headhunter's hiding place.
However, the headhunters on Ghost Crow Ridge were very alert. As soon as they spotted the Griffon Cavalry, they immediately disappeared into the woods of Ghost Crow Ridge.
This mountain range, located on the Pagisto Plateau, is a rare find—a place with dense forests and overgrown weeds.
The headhunters could easily evade the Griffon Cavalry ' sight by simply disappearing into the dark forest, making them quite difficult to find.
Moreover, the trees on this mountain ridge are also very special. A large forest looks like it has been scorched by a huge fire. The trees only have some black branches and no leaves can be seen. But it is precisely because of this scorched forest that the branches are very dense.
Several Griffon Cavalry hovered in the sky, but they couldn't spot the headhunter.
Roy led the Mine Guard Army to the eastern edge of Ghost Crow Ridge and set up camp there for the night.
A bonfire was lit in the Scorched Wood Forest, the north wind howled, and the woods seemed to be filled with ghostly figures.
A group of headhunters were hiding in this area. They had originally planned to cross Ghost Crow Ridge during the day and enter the tundra ahead, but they discovered griffins in the sky. For safety's sake, the headhunters hid in this Scorched Wood Forest that emitted a strange smell.
The headhunters planned to storm the Half-Elf hideout and launch a retaliatory operation against the Half-Elf there.
Then he slowly maneuvered around the Half-Elf in those mountains and forests...
They had already captured five mines along the way from the Kaltim Mountain Range, but sensed danger at Ghost Crow Ridge and decided to seek refuge for the night.
In the shadows, a sharp blade, like an extension of the shadow itself, finally emerged from the shadows and appeared completely on the headhunter's neck, then easily slit the headhunter's throat.
The headhunter only felt a sharp pain in his throat, and when he touched his neck, his hand was covered in blood.
The headhunters across the fire stared at him in horror, their eyes filled with fear. All the headhunters gathered around the fire stood up, their War Blade in hand, their backs to the fire, huddled together shoulder to shoulder, observing the situation outside.
These headhunters were highly experienced in combat; they lit torches and peered into the darkness, but no one ran out...
One of the headhunter captains even threw a torch into a shadowy spot, but to no avail.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the howling mountain wind blowing past the headhunter...
The headhunter captain took two steps forward, and a Dark Moon Elf Warrior suddenly appeared beside him, his dagger aimed at the headhunter captain's back. But the headhunter captain was prepared and slammed his elbow into the Dark Moon Elf Warrior's left ribs. The Dark Moon Elf Warrior fell to the ground in a sorry state and then quickly retreated into the shadows.
Other Dark Moon Elf Warrior from the Assassin Squad also appeared one after another. Some Dark Moon Elf Warrior successfully stabbed the Headhunter, while others retreated back into the darkness in a sorry state.
