Two Letters

Commander Helik leaned weakly against the battlements as Short Flying Spear were thrown from below the city walls and landed on the walls.

Sharp spears pierced the City Wall, sending up a spray of stone dust. Some spears flew over the battlements, some even penetrating the City Wall and damaging red tiles, but very few Short Flying Spear managed to injure the Rebel Army soldiers.

These Rebel Army Half-Elf Warrior have held out in the Silver Mine castle for nineteen days. During this time, the Griffon Cavalry of the Griffon Corps have delivered food and military supplies twice, ensuring that the Rebel Army warriors in the castle have sufficient supplies...

This is also the main reason why Commander Helik has been able to persevere.

Each time the headhunters charged the castle, they would hurl a volley of Short Flying Spear from below the City Wall to suppress the Half-Elf Warrior on the City Wall ...

Without the Mine Owners ' covert support, the headhunters' Short Flying Spear Short Flying Spear becoming increasingly scarce, so they only used them when launching a siege.

Several Half-Elf Warrior clad in heavy armor stood atop the city wall, their Tower Shield raised high. The Short Flying Spear struck the shields in front of them with dull thuds.

Commander Helik sensed that the number of Short Flying Spear was decreasing rapidly. He calmed his breathing, then suddenly stepped out from behind the battlements, grabbed his longsword, hid behind a shield, and peered down into the City Wall.

Sure enough, a group of headhunters were slowly climbing up the City Wall from below, and the headhunter at the front was about to rush to the top.

Commander Helik quickly raised his longsword and thrust it at the headhunter who had just emerged from behind the battlements. The headhunter was clearly on guard and hurriedly raised his shield to block Commander Helik's sword. He lost his balance and almost fell off the city wall.

His companions grabbed the headhunter's body with their hands, and the headhunter suddenly leaped onto the City Wall. Commander Helik, unable to sheathe his sword in time, twisted his body and delivered an elbow strike to the headhunter, which landed squarely on the headhunter's chest.

The headhunter was thrown from the City Wall, falling with a scream to the ground below...

More headhunters climbed up from below the City Wall, Half-Elf Warrior stepped forward, piercing the headhunters' bodies with their spears.

This scene is repeated almost every day at the Silver Mine in the Kaltim Mountain Range.

Led by Commander Helik, the Rebel Army Elf Warrior always managed to repel the headhunters without serious incident...

This siege has been going on for more than half a month. The headhunters have been attacking the city almost every day. Unfortunately, they have encountered a group of the Rebel Army with extremely strong fighting spirit, and this Rebel Army also has a constant supply of supplies.

This prevented the headhunters from breaching the Silver Mine's castle.

Although wave after wave of headhunters retreated from Ghost Crow Ridge in the south, and attempted to attack the Silver Mine Castle as they passed by, without exception, none of them managed to capture the castle from Commander Helik.

Seeing the headhunters launching daily attacks on the Silver Mine, Commander Helik knew very well that Roy's Mine Guard must be putting too much pressure on them.

The headhunters kept retreating from Ghost Crow Ridge, which is why they attacked the Silver Mine Castle so frequently.

Moreover, with headhunters continuously pouring in from the north of the Kaltim Mountain Range, the headhunters are even more eager to stabilize their defeat somewhere in the Kaltim Mountain Range...

The two headhunter Chieftain had their eyes on the Silver Mine Castle and had been wanting to conquer it.

However, they encountered Commander Helik, and the two sides were deadlocked for nearly nineteen days. The headhunter Chieftain failed to capture the Silver Mine, Rebel Army warriors were unable to break out of the castle to intercept the headhunters who were constantly retreating to the north.

As a result, a large number of headhunters who had retreated from Ghost Crow Ridge crossed the Silver Mine Castle and continued their escape northward.

Although the battle situation here is not as Commander Helik planned, with the Rebel Army and the Mine Guard forming an encirclement and completely blocking the headhunters in the southern part of the tundra...

However, since the Rebel Army were like a nail driven into the middle of the Kaltim Mountain Range, the headhunters had no choice but to retreat hastily northward if they wanted to survive, except to occupy the Silver Mine Castle.

Meanwhile, Roy's Mine Guard had been chasing the headhunters northward for hundreds of kilometers along the western side of the Kaltim Mountain Range, close to the gentle edge of the tundra, without the headhunters offering any resistance.

A group of headhunters continued to retreat northward.

The Mine Guard arrived at Green Sun Lake in the central tundra without fighting a single decent battle along the way.

This place is only about 50 kilometers away from the Silver Mine where Commander Helik is located.

Here, a large wetland surrounds a freshwater lake, making the entire Green Sun Lake look like a magnificent emerald set in this tundra.

Roy's Mine Guard have taken over Green Sun Lake, which means they will be able to coordinate with the Rebel Army at the Silver Mine. The two sides can work together to gradually eliminate the headhunters in the central Kaltim Mountain Range...

Although they didn't engage in large-scale battles with the Headhunters, the Mine Guard squads frequently clashed with them in small-scale engagements.

By this time, the half- Half-Elf Warrior Half-Elf Warrior had developed a sophisticated fighting style, allowing them to grow rapidly.

Viewed from above, Green Sun Lake resembles a bright green pea, its surface clear and its waves vast and boundless...

Roy led the Mine Guard to set up camp on the grassy slopes by the lake, and the marching tents of 3,500 Half-Elf Warrior stretched across a large area by the lake.

Around Green Sun Lake are several small ponds, separated by large patches of moss...

Roy originally planned to go directly to the Silver Mine to join up with Commander Helik's Rebel Army, and then head north together to hunt down the Headhunters.

However, the day before the two sides were to meet, Roy received a letter from the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padesto City. Upon opening the letter, Roy discovered that it was a handwritten letter from the Silver Moon Elf Chief Commander of the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padesto City:

"Mine Owners Roy, the Silver Pegasus Military Department has received some very bad news. A group of the Half-Elf Rebel Army were originally residing in Rampart Town suddenly left the Rampart Town two months ago. For a long time, their Half-Elf Rebel Army were unknown. However, recently there have been rumors that they have appeared on the Pagisto Plateau, making the already turbulent Rebel Army on the Pagisto Plateau even more chaotic. The military now requires you, while fighting the Highland Slavers, to report as much information about that Rebel Army group as possible back to Padesto City..."

The letter was rather long, but it essentially instructed Roy to monitor Commander Helik's actions and, as far as possible, not to provide any assistance to the Rebel Army army. Ideally, he wanted them to be unable to survive on the Pagisto Plateau Pagisto Plateau and leave as soon as possible to travel to other areas of the Pattington Plane.

This letter really gave Roy a headache...

Although the current advantageous situation on the Pagisto Plateau was opened up by Commander Helik, the Silver Pegasus Military Department is more wary of the Half-Elf Rebel Army than the headhunters.

Roy's face turned grim after reading the letter.

Although he did not intend to reveal Commander Helik's whereabouts, the plan to meet up with Commander Helik had to be put on hold for the time being.

Because of this letter, Roy was unable to openly join forces with Commander Helik's Half-Elf Rebel Army and could only set up camp by Green Sun Lake.

Roy and Woods sat on a large rock by the lake, where waves of water lapped against the shore.

"Are they really going to suppress Half-Elf so openly?" Woods angrily retorted.

Roy sighed helplessly and said, "They probably think that I am a Half-Elf. Even if I lived in the Half-Elf area before, I am now working for the Silver Pegasus Legion. So if I had to choose between Silver Moon Elf and Half-Elf, I would definitely choose to stand on the side of the Silver Moon Elf. At least my mother is a Silver Moon Elf... That's why they sent me such a letter."

Woods stared intently at Roy, his eyes wide, and asked, "Roy, what are you going to do about this?"

Roy covered his face with a towel. Although the wind by the lake was a bit chilly, the sunshine felt warm on his skin. The area was filled with the rich Water Elemental, making sunbathing here a very enjoyable experience.

"The military supplies sent from the military headquarters will have their usage recorded more meticulously over the next period of time, and they won't be sent to the Rebel Army. Of course, whether or not other supplies were delivered to the Rebel Army by Leishande's caravan is beyond my control..."

Roy said quietly, clearly indicating that he wanted to change the overt support for the Rebel Army to covert support...

"It seems this is the only way!"

Although Woods was somewhat indignant, he accepted Roy's compromise.

"Roy, the preparations for supplies in Castleton City are going exceptionally smoothly. News of your victory on the Pagisto Plateau has spread like wildfire throughout Castleton City. You have no idea how lively Castleton City has been these past few days; many Half-Elf have taken to the streets to celebrate the victory. Meanwhile, I'm procuring Tree of Life Sap and magical potions on the Black Market. As soon as they know I'm preparing to send these supplies to the Pagisto Plateau in the Pattington Plane, merchants will come knocking on my door."

"For the first time, I feel a sense of exhilaration, like I've done something right. These supplies will be the first to arrive at the Pagisto Plateau. By the time you receive these, the second and third batches should already be on their way. Finally, I want to tell you something: ' The Song of the Mountain Eagle ' is incredibly popular in Castleton City. Countless Silver Moon Elf have been inspired to visit the Pagisto Plateau in the Pattington Plane after hearing this song!"

Klayr's letter was personally delivered to Roy by Leishande.

Along with the letter came a large quantity of Tree of Life Sap and magical potions, which, as Roy had requested, were primarily Healing Potion.

Inside the tent, Roy used a dagger to pry open the square Wooden Box in front of him, lifted the lid, and parted the soft, dry grass inside. Sure enough, there were rows of glass bottles inside, each containing a bright green solution.

Leishande brought back three boxes of Tree of Life Sap and seven boxes of Healing Potion, but the Healing Potion seemed quite ordinary in comparison.

Roy immediately called over Kaka and Little Eugene, and handed them a box of Tree of Life Sap and two boxes of Healing Potion.

"You two go there yourselves and make sure you deliver these three boxes of potion to Commander Helik... Never mind, I'll go with you!"

The two griffins flew for just over half an hour from the Green Sun Lake to the Silver Mine.

Roy sat behind Kaka and could clearly feel that Kaka, the griffin, had grown much stronger these past few days...

Commander Helik personally went to the city wall to greet Roy, and his first words to Roy were. "Didn't we agree to meet up together and launch an attack on the Headhunters? Why is your Mine Guard still lingering by Green Sun Lake?"

Roy pulled a map from his pocket and laid it on the rocky ground of the City Wall. Pointing to the arrows on the map, he said, "The situation might change, so give me three days. My Mine Guard Army will pursue us all the way from here. Helick, you take your men and chase them north along the edge of the Kaltim Mountains..."

"I will have the Griffon Corps and Assassin Squad harass these Highland Slavers, keeping them constantly on the run every night!"

Upon hearing Roy's words, Commander Helik carefully examined the landline before saying to Roy, "The Mine Guard are moving through the middle of the tundra; be careful of the headhunters' counterattack."

"Yes, we will. We are fully prepared this time!"

Roy then took out three Wooden Box from his Magic Pouch and continued to say to Commander Helik, "These are Tree of Life Sap and Healing Potion. If any Half-Elf Warrior are injured, these potions will help them recover quickly. More will be added later."

Commander Helik looked at the three Wooden Box and nodded vigorously.

The following morning, the Mine Guard set off from the Green Sun Lake and continued their northward pursuit of the fleeing headhunters.

Because the Mine Guard stayed at Green Sun Lake for a few days, most of the headhunters had left the central part of the Kaltim Mountain Range. Roy traveled north for three days without encountering any headhunters.

On the contrary, the Griffon Corps and the Assassin Squad continued to reap rewards...

During the pursuit of the Headhunters, Commander Helik once again took control of the two mines.

Unfortunately, the headhunters stationed at the mines had already left. Before leaving, they smashed all the damaged boxes, cabinets, doors, windows, sculptures, utensils, and other items in the two mines.

The mine shafts were filled with the corpses of numerous Half-Elf and Gray Dwarf miners.

Commander Helik recaptured both mines, but they were almost completely destroyed, and not a single surviving elf could be found...
