The Headhunters' End 2
On a rocky cliff at the westernmost edge of Ghost Crow Ridge, a group of headhunters were stationed. From here, one could see the edge of the mountains on the southwestern corner of the Pagisto Plateau. Ghost Crow Ridge and the edge of the mountains were only a few dozen kilometers apart, and the gathering place of the Half-Elf was in those mountains.
Headhunters have already entered the mountains in that southwestern corner and discovered traces of the Half-Elf.
Before the headhunters could take any further action, a squad of Half-Elf Warrior stormed in from the east of Ghost Crow Ridge.
These Half-Elf Warrior seemed to be able to step on the headhunters' heads with every step. They ambushed and killed the headhunters several times on Ghost Crow Ridge, and in just two short weeks, they forced the headhunters to the westernmost cliff of Ghost Crow Ridge.
This can be considered the westernmost point of Ghost Crow Ridge, and also the last piece of sandstone rock extending from the southernmost end of the Kaltim Mountain Range.
Nearly half of the more than 1,500 headhunters suffered some degree of injury.
Above these headhunters, at least a hundred griffins hovered in the sky, arrows raining down from above, ready to strike them at any moment...
The headhunters could only hide under the rocky cliffs, and some hid under charred trees.
Further north lies an endless expanse of tundra...
At this moment, less than two kilometers away from this boulder, on a mountain ridge, Roy led nearly two thousand Half-Elf Warrior to a stop. Woods and Sabrina stood side by side at the front of the group, and the headhunters below the cliffs in the distance had already come into view.
In addition to the two thousand Half-Elf Warrior that Roy brought, more than a thousand Half-Elf from various parts of the Southern Plateau gathered in the mountains of the western region of Ghost Crow Ridge.
Woods walked at the head of the group, and besides Sabrina, he was surrounded by heavily armored Half-Elf Warrior...
A group of headhunters stood atop several boulders halfway up the mountain, holding Short Flying Spear in one hand and wooden shields in the other to protect themselves from Fletched Arrow falling from the sky.
Almost every shield above their heads was studded with several Fletched Arrow...
Woods came to within about a hundred meters of the headhunters, who then began throwing their Short Flying Spear.
These Short Flying Spear pierced through the charred trees and landed among the Half-Elf ranks.
Before the headhunters could even see if their thrown Short Flying Spear had struck the Half-Elf Warrior, a Earth Tyrant Bear suddenly leaped out of the forest, followed by a group of Half-Elf Warrior ...
The Earth Tyrant Bear swung its front paws, swatting away the scattered Short Flying Spear. Even though several Short Flying Spear struck the Earth Tyrant Bear, it shook its fur violently, sending the Short Flying Spear flying.
A large, fat Earth Tyrant Bear exudes the aura of earth element, and it seems that every time it steps on the ground, whether it is rock or soil, it leaves a clear footprint.
It stormed out of the charred forest, snapping and collapsing all the trees around it that looked like they had been charred.
Sabrina, holding the Serugi Longsword, followed behind Woods, her body shimmering with a radiant aura.
The headhunters roared and leaped off the boulder, hurling their Short Flying Spear at Woods...
Although the Short Flying Spear struck Woods, it failed to penetrate his thick, oily fur.
The Earth Tyrant Bear leaped up again, its front paws landing on the headhunter's shoulder, instantly knocking him to the ground. The headhunter was also very agile; the moment he fell, he thrust his dagger towards the Earth Tyrant Bear's chest.
An oval-shaped Ice Shield suddenly appeared on the Earth Tyrant Bear's chest. The dagger barely pierced the Ice Shield, and the Headhunter fell heavily to the ground.
The Earth Tyrant Bear plopped down on the headhunter, instantly making it hard for him to breathe...
Woods swung his massive bear paw and slammed it hard into the headhunter's left cheek, severing the headhunter's head almost completely from his neck.
A headhunter captain, exuding a strong aura of blood, rushed to Woods ' side in a few steps, wielding War Blade, and simultaneously plunged both War Blade into Woods' ribs.
His movements were lightning fast, and he suddenly burst out from the crack in the rocks, leaving Woods, the Earth Tyrant Bear in his true form, no time to react.
Before the two War Blade could pierce the Earth Tyrant Bear's body, Roy, who was following behind Woods, immediately swung out a ' Holy Light Hammer '. Although the headhunter captain saw the Holy Light Hammer, he hardened his heart and used his body to withstand the blow, determined to wound Woods...
The Holy Light Hammer struck the headhunter's right shoulder first, instantly smashing the headhunter Chieftain's shoulder into a bloody mess, and the powerful impact of the Holy Light Hammer sent him flying...
His War Blade could only leave a shallow wound on the fur of the Earth Tyrant Bear.
The headhunter's body crashed into a protruding rock wall. Only then did he have time to look at his body. His entire shoulder had been smashed to pieces by the Holy Light Hammer, and his shoulder blade was almost retracted into his chest cavity.
Blood kept gushing from his mouth, and his whole body was stained red with blood.
Sabrina then appeared beside the headhunter captain, swung her Serugi Longsword, and beheaded him.
The headhunters, upon discovering that their captain had been killed by the elves, immediately let out a series of mournful howls.
At this moment, the headhunters were filled with despair. They saw the ferocious Earth Tyrant Bear charging forward, followed by a huge swarm of Half-Elf Warrior. The courage that the headhunters had just mustered instantly collapsed.
Even though other headhunter captains were leading their headhunters to resist the Half-Elf Warrior, the headhunters still fled in all directions.
They didn't think about rescuing their companions; they just fled north without looking back.
Led by Roy and his companions, a group of Half-Elf Warrior headed straight for the cliff. The headhunters had already fled into the Kaltim Mountain Range to the north...
Miss Tiffany, panting, ran up the mountain ridge amidst a group of Elf Warrior, only to find that the headhunters had all fled down the ridge.
Woods, in his Earth Tyrant Bear form, did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he crouched on a giant rock, silently gazing northward...
Roy and Sabrina walked over to Woods, and the three of them talked quietly.
A moment later, Miss Tiffany arrived and joined in.
Mulin, leading the Half-Elf Warrior, rushed down to the bottom of the cliff. She looked at Roy and the others, pursing her lips with a hint of envy.
Especially the tall and slender Sabrina, whom Mulin envied the most.
She even thought that Sabrina possessed the talent of Wood Elf bloodline, which was why her physique was much stronger than that of ordinary Half-Elf.
Mulin had no idea what kind of martial arts techniques Sabrina had displayed during the fight...
He could casually conjure a mountain of swords, as if he were enveloped in a divine radiance.
Mulin watched Sabrina try to do it several times, but she just couldn't learn it.
In addition to the two thousand Half-Elf Warrior, some ordinary Half-Elf hunters also gathered in the western part of Ghost Crow Ridge. They came from all directions to drive away all the headhunters on Ghost Crow Ridge.
But now... it seems there's no need for these Half-Elf at all, as the headhunters on Ghost Crow Ridge have already suffered a northward rout.
In the eyes of these Half-Elf, the headhunters on Ghost Crow Ridge were actually defeated by the Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard. However, the elves who knew the true situation of the Ghost Crow Ridge battlefield knew that the Assassin Squad and the Griffon Corps also made great contributions to this victory.
These days, the Assassin Squad has been launching nighttime raids on the headhunters of Ghost Crow Ridge.
The Griffon Corps is also actively scouting the Headhunters and is also transporting a batch of military supplies from below the plateau.
The Mine Guard successfully captured Ghost Crow Ridge, which finally relieved Roy. In doing so, the Mine Guard completely cut off the headhunters' southward route.
Headhunters who want to enter the Southern Plateau must pass through Ghost Crow Ridge.
A large number of Half-Elf Warrior rushed up the cliff, silently watching the headhunters retreat into the southern part of the Kaltim Mountain Range.
"Woods, you were seriously injured last time... but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. You've advanced to the Claw Druid so quickly. With this Earth Tyrant Bear leading the charge, the battle has become much easier..."
Miss Tiffany sat on the boulder, poured all the water from her leather bag over her head, and then said to Woods with great envy.
Of all Roy's friends, Sabrina is the strongest. Before coming to the Pagisto Plateau, she was already a first-class Sword Dancer, but she was very low-key and only revealed her true strength on the battlefield.
In addition, Moira has improved her strength the most in the past two months...
Ever since the Thrust Sabre in her hand was stained with blood, Moira's 'momentum' transformed into the phantom of the Night Blade Leopard, and she subsequently successfully advanced to the first rank of assassin. Otherwise, Roy would never have allowed her to participate in the Assassin Squad's nighttime operations.
Woods was seriously injured in the battle with the Headhunters in the Gaxi Mountain Range. He took advantage of his injury to successfully comprehend 'Momentum' and advance to become a first-tier Claw Druid. His giant bear form was also upgraded to Earth Tyrant Bear.
Of all these friends, only Roy remains at the Priest level.
The Holy Light Tree within his body had ceased to grow; instead, a root system composed of the Holy Light Power extended from his body and took deep root in the ground.
Perhaps because Roy has a Holy Light Tree hidden inside his body, Roy is noticeably more powerful during the day than at night.
Miss Tiffany is a Naga Sea Clan mage. Because she possesses the power of Naga blood, she easily comprehends 'momentum'.
As long as she gradually increases the Magic Power within her body, she is destined to become a first-tier mage.
The Naga Sea Clan's affinity for Water Elemental is unmatched by any other race.
Even if she breaks through to the Second Rank... becoming Great Mage is not without hope. It can be said that Miss Tiffany has the best growth potential among them.
Miss Tiffany said that to Woods because she had witnessed the power of the Earth Tyrant Bear.
Woods just smiled faintly and said nothing.
The friends became increasingly coordinated during the battle.
By this time, Griffon Cavalry had already begun to pursue the headhunters who were fleeing north.
Some Half-Elf Warrior gathered around the boulder where Roy was, cheering and shouting continuously:
' Boss Roy ...'
"Boss Roy..."
They stood around the boulder, shouting excitedly.
Roy stood up from the rock and waved to the Half-Elf. He still had to treat the injured Half-Elf Warrior, so Roy didn't plan to immediately lead the Mine Guard into the Kaltim Mountain Range.
Ghost Crow Ridge is a bottleneck in the western part of the plateau. As long as this place is held, the headhunters of the Kaltim Mountain Range will not be able to enter the Southern Plateau.
Roy did not set up camp on the rocky cliffs of Ghost Crow Ridge, but instead set up a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain on the north side of Ghost Crow Ridge.
The Half-Elf Warrior are stationed here.
This time, Leishande gathered a large amount of supplies from Padesto City and Rampart Town, so the Mine Guard did not suffer from food shortages.
The Griffon Corps also has enough Fletched Arrow to scatter freely at high altitudes...
At this point, Roy would have to slowly wear down this group of headhunters in the area.
A few kilometers further north from Ghost Crow Ridge, you'll reach the edge of the Kaltim Mountain Range.
The headhunters fled into the mountains in panic, and because they were so scattered, the Griffon Cavalry were unable to find them for a while.
On the contrary, on this narrow tundra in front of the Kaltim Mountain Range, there were many Elf Warrior corpses lying haphazardly.
A group of headhunters hid in the Kaltim Mountain Range, using the dense forests of the southern part of the Kaltim Mountain Range to constantly outmaneuver the Griffon Corps...
The Assassin Squad was once again dropped into the Kaltim Mountain Range by the Griffon Corps.
However, the headhunters had developed a way to defend against the Assassin Squad's surprise attack. For two consecutive days, the Assassin Squad did not gain any advantage over the headhunters in the southern part of the Kaltim Mountain Range.
The two sides reached a stalemate...
In the middle of the Kaltim Mountain Range, Commander Helik led five thousand Rebel Army soldiers to surround a Silver Mine. This Mithril Mine, too, relied on the mountain terrain to build a very sturdy castle.
The Silver Mine is now in the hands of headhunters.
However, there weren't too many headhunters stationed in the castle. After several days of investigation, the two Griffon Cavalry discovered that there were definitely no more than five hundred headhunters in the castle.
The headhunters engaged in a major battle with the Mine Guard in the southern part of the Kaltim Mountain Range.
At this time, the group of headhunters in the southern part of the Kaltim Mountain Range had no time to attend to the battlefield in the middle section, and the number of headhunters coming from the north had decreased significantly. Therefore, the Silver Mine was the most vulnerable area.
The Rebel Army soldiers fought their way out of the mountain valley and quickly surrounded the fortress outside the Silver Mine's City Wall.
By nightfall, the Rebel Army soldiers were already prepared for battle.
Commander Helik stood among a group of Half-Elf Warrior, approaching the castle under the cover of night.
At Commander Helik's command, all the Half-Elf Warrior began to run almost simultaneously, charging towards the fortress City Wall...
Another fierce battle unfolded under the cover of night...
