Helick's Road to Freedom

In August 1407, the headhunters on the Pattington Plane Pagisto Plateau Western Front were forced to evacuate Kaltim Mountain Range. Just three weeks later, the headhunters handed over North Wind Canyon to the Mine Guard team. At this point, all the headhunters had withdrawn to the north of Pagisto Plateau.

Roy led four thousand Half-Elf Warrior to occupy North Wind Canyon across the board.

Team Mine Guard has now expanded to four brigades with a capacity of 1,000 people. In addition to Roy personally leading a team, Sabrina, Woods and Mulin serve as captains of team Mine Guard. Among these four teams, the first team led by Sabrina is the strongest.

Nearly half of the Half-Elfs in the first brigade are heavy-armed swordsmen. As long as they break through, they will become Sword Dancers like Sabrina.

Sabrina led the first brigade to fight for two days and one night in North Wind Canyon, directly driving the headhunters from the southern entrance of the canyon to the northern wilderness of Pagisto Plateau...

Of course, Griffon Corps and Assassin Squad have been fully cooperating throughout the battle.

Miss Tiffany has been protecting Sabrina. Her Ice Shield has blocked Sabrina from countless Short Flying Spear.

Sabrina used 'Dance of Radiance' to kill almost all Highland Slavers, and North Wind Canyon killed two headhunters Chieftain at the southern entrance.

It was the death of these two headhunters Chieftain one after another that caused the headhunters in North Wind Canyon to fall into chaos. The Mine Guard team took advantage of the situation, and Sabrina carried a Serugi Longsword and killed all the way through the entire North Wind Canyon.

Commander Helik led five thousand Rebel Army soldiers and rushed to North Wind Canyon along the edge of the Kaltim Mountain Range. Mine Guard team of Roy had completely occupied North Wind Canyon...

According to incomplete statistics from various mines, headhunters killed at least 10,000 Half-Elf in Pagisto Plateau.

These include three silver mines Kaltim Mountain Range and two silver mines Gaxi Mountain Range Black Iron Mine.

There were almost two thousand Half-Elf mine slaves in the three Silver Mines, and there were more than five hundred Gray Dwarf slaves, all of whom were executed by Highland Slavers in the mines...

These three Silver Mine were captured by the Rebel Army soldiers led by Commander Helik. It was precisely because the next two siege battles delayed Rebel Army's progress that Commander Helik arrived at North Wind Canyon five days later than Roy.

A team of Half-Elf Warrior, all riding argali, left from the northern entrance of North Wind Canyon and slowly entered the cold windy northern wilderness of Pagisto Plateau...

Commander Helik led Rebel Army soldiers to stay in North Wind Canyon for only one day, and then left North Wind Canyon in a hurry.

In order to avoid being tipped off, Roy and Commander Helik did not even show up this time, and there was no communication between the Rebel Army and Mine Guard teams. This Rebel Army warrior just borrowed the path from North Wind Canyon and entered Northern Plateau.

All supplies provided to the Rebel Army were directly allocated from Leishande's pack team, and then directly transported by Griffon Corps. They almost never appeared in the logistics accounts of Mine Guard team.

A touch of fish belly white lights up on the horizon, and the stars in the night sky recede...

Kaka rode a griffin, carrying Roy and caught up with Commander Helik from behind. He jumped off the back of the griffin and strode towards Commander Helik.

Commander Helik pulled the reins of the argali and stopped.

North Wind Canyon In the wilderness to the north, you can see some unmelted snow in places where the sun doesn't shine.

A layer of withered yellow grass grows close to the ground, and a touch of new green is just under the dry grass blades.

Roy stepped on these thorny hay, walked up to Commander Helik, and said to him, "Commander Helik, in fact, you don't have to be in such a hurry to enter the Northern Plateau wilderness, Mine Guard team can withdraw immediately North Wind Canyon, and you can also take over the three Silver Mines of the Kaltim Mountain Range. With these three Silver Mines, you can use the resources in the mine to exchange for any needed supplies. I believe that Leishande's team will never refuse this deal."

Commander Helik shook his head, smiled and said to Roy, "Kaltim Mountain Range is still too close to Padesto City, now Silver Pegasus Legion has to deal with Due to the chaos in Empress Ivini Islands, they can't take care of things on Pagisto Plateau for the time being, but once they solve Gray Dwarf of Empress Ivini Islands, they will immediately turn around and deal with things on Pattington Plane."

"I have been thinking a few days ago about whether to live in the tundra here on the Kaltim Mountain Range for a while. Later I felt that this place is still too close to Padesto City. It only takes a day and night for those Silver Pegasus Warrior to fly here from Padesto City."

"In addition, I think Kaltim Mountain Range can be a good buffer zone. Whether it is Silver Pegasus Legion or our group of Half-Elf Warrior, they probably hope that you can control this area and put it in the hands of Silver Moon Elf. We don't trust them. Likewise, those Silver Moon Elf will definitely not let Half-Elf control this area."

"So after much thought, I decided to give up Kaltim Mountain Range and continue walking north."

"Hey, we didn't have this ability before. There was a lack of food on Pagisto Plateau, so it was actually quite difficult for Half-Elfs to walk freely on the plateau. Now with the Elf Biscuit, Tree of Life Sap and Healing Potion you provided, as well as some necessary magic items for travel, this road is not that difficult for us."

"And we can continue to show some color to those Highland Slavers. They have killed so many of our compatriots, and now they are chased all the way by us. It is impossible to just let it go."

"Furthermore... I have always been curious about what Gazan Ancestral Land is like in the north of Pagisto Plateau. That place is actually quite mysterious to Half-Elf on Pattington Plane. Many friends have talked about it with me, but unfortunately I have never been able to give a correct answer. I want to go and see it."

"We will open the situation at Northern Plateau. There should be some mines here. Capture two of them. Then I will exchange the ores with you for the military supplies."

"Don't worry, with us here in the northern wilderness, headhunters will have no chance to touch North Wind Canyon..."

Commander Helik pulled Roy on a Wild Grass Mound and talked a lot in one go.

When Commander Helik handed over the two Black Iron Mines of the Gaxi Mountain Range to Roy, in fact, Roy owed Commander Helik a big favor.

Unexpectedly, Commander Helik gave up the entire Kaltim Mountain Range to Roy again this time, but he led the Rebel Army warriors into the northern wilderness.

Roy thought for some time, then said with a serious face, "Mine Guard team will evacuate North Wind Canyon in the next few days. We will go all the way north from Tianpu Canyon and enter Northern Plateau."

Commander Helik patted Roy on the shoulder and said, "That's really okay. When we work together to clear out all the headhunters in the Northern Plateau area, as long as the time is right, I will continue to explore north. At that time, I will trade several mines of Northern Plateau with you for a batch of supplies for the long journey."

"This is no problem, I will let Griffon Corps support you at any time." Roy said.

After saying that, Roy and Commander Helik stopped at the same time.

A red sun rises slowly from the horizon, shining on the vast wilderness.

Helick Looking at the northern part of the wilderness, there is still a lot of snow that has not completely melted in the shade between the mountains. The cold wind blows on the face, the kind of cold that freezes directly into the bones.

Roy rode on the griffin, and Kaka, who was sitting in front, patted the griffin's neck. The majestic griffin suddenly opened its wings, roared softly, jumped up, flapped its wings several times, and flew directly on the mound.

Taking off is the most strenuous. Once it flies into the sky and spreads its wings to fly in the wind, the griffon becomes much easier.

Kaka hugged the griffin, turned to look at Roy, and asked curiously, "Where do they want to go?"

Roy knows that Kaka is asking about Commander Helik and this Rebel Army.

In fact, it is not just Kaka, many Half-Elf very much hope that Commander Helik and this Rebel Army can join the Mine Guard team. In this way, all these Half-Elf Warrior will be whitewashed.

But their thinking was a little too simple. How could Silver Pegasus Legion's military department accept these Half-Elf Rebel Army?

If they wanted to accept it, they would have accepted it during the peace negotiations three years ago, and naturally they would not wait until now.

Roy set his sights on Commander Helik who was riding an argali. In the wilderness, the running argali brought up a trail of dust...

"Actually, where to go... it doesn't matter to them Half-Elf Warrior, they are just looking for freedom!"

Roy said with squinted eyes.

Commander Helik led five thousand Half-Elf Warrior to fight all the way along Kaltim Mountain Range. This Rebel Army captured three castles in total, but did not capture a single headhunter prisoner.

When I met the headhunters Rebel Army, except for those who escaped, there were only some corpses left.

Commander Helik threw the corpses of these headhunters into the mine, filled it with a layer of sand, and even planted some sea buckthorn on the soil.

The elves firmly believe that life is above all else, but Commander Helik obviously doesn't think so. Under his leadership, this group of Half-Elf Warrior almost never leaves prisoners, and kills all the headhunters they meet.

But the Mine Guard team is different. Whether it is Roy or Sabrina, they both advocate not killing those headhunters who surrender voluntarily.

Although Mulin has some different opinions on this, Team Mine Guard cannot make too big a splash.

Highland Slavers's defeat at North Wind Canyon meant that they completely lost their access to the south of Pagisto Plateau.

At the same time, nearly a thousand headhunters have become prisoners of war and are currently being held in a temporary Prisoner of War Camp in North Wind Canyon. These headhunters were confiscated of weapons and fur armor. In such a cold weather, they only wear a piece of leather around their waists. When the north wind blows at night, all the headhunter captives have to huddle together to resist the cold wind.

There are no wooden cages or tents.

Half-Elf They just drew a place on a rock cliff and surrounded it with some stones.

There are no shackles on the headhunter prisoners of war. As long as they want to run away... they can run out at any time.

Half-Elf Warrior, who is guarding Prisoner of War Camp, won't even look at it twice, but whether he can survive depends on his ability to escape and hide.

Because there is a dedicated team of Hunter responsible for taking care of these Headhunter prisoners of war, the escaped Headhunter prisoners of war can be killed, which will make subsequent processing easier, and it is always easier to deal with than the living Headhunters.

Roy even personally made a management regulation for the headhunter prisoners of war, including providing two meals a day, and the group of headhunter prisoners of war need to do morning exercises and practice some obedience training in the morning.

Roy wants to send these prisoners of war to the mine, but before that, Roy plans to let them undergo a period of training in Prisoner of War Camp, and they will also undergo a public trial. Each headhunter needs to be convicted and plead guilty, and then be tried. The final penalty is to enter the mine to participate in labor reform. The period of labor reform will last the rest of their lives.

Originally Roy wanted to keep the Kaltim Mountain Range three-seat Silver Mine in normal operation, but when he went to Silver Mine in person to see the actual situation there, he deeply understood the mood of those Rebel Army warriors who took no prisoners.

It's really miserable!

The headhunters threw the corpses of the Half-Elf miner and the Gray Dwarf miner into the mine. After blocking the entrance of the mine, they blocked the mine with waste mineral materials and ore.

When Roy came to Silver Mine, he found that the piles of corpses in the mines had not yet been dealt with, but through the waste minerals and ores, the strong smell of corpses could be clearly smelled. Even the inside of the castle was covered in bloodstains. A large amount of blood was sprinkled on the walls. After drying, it turned into a purple-black color, making those rooms look like Torture Chamber in hell.

"Those headhunter prisoners of war should be brought back and let them take a good look at the crimes they committed." Woods said with a pale face. He had already vomited to the point where there was almost nothing in his stomach.

"Then not only do they have to undergo transformation in the mine, but they also have to repent twice a day, morning and evening!"

Roy covered his face with a handkerchief, walked out of the blood-stained castle, and said after a moment of silence.

"Roy, the Silver Mine here is temporarily unable to operate normally. Where are you going to send these headhunter prisoners of war?" Mulin, who followed behind, pursed his lips and asked reluctantly.

"Don't think about it, I won't send them to Spinel Mine. Currently, the number of miners at Mithril Mine is obviously insufficient, so they will all be sent to the Sudaso Mountain Range!" Roy directly cut off Mulin's last glimmer of hope.

Mine Guard Army left North Wind Canyon and did not choose to detour from the Kaltim Mountain Range, passing through Ghost Crow Ridge and then arriving at the Sudaso Mountain Range.

Instead, we chose to take the same road Commander Helik took a few days ago, turning over from the Kaltim Mountain Range and directly crossing the wilderness to the north of the Sudaso Mountain Range.

Although this road is not easy to walk, fortunately, there is a map drawn by Commander Helik himself, and Griffon Cavalry, who is familiar with the terrain here, guides the way from the air.

Therefore, in mid-September, four thousand Half-Elf Warrior members of the Mine Guard team completed the feat of climbing over Kaltim Mountain Range and crossing the wilderness, arriving at Sudaso North Mithril Mine...
