Rampart Town's New Look
When the old Gray Dwarf saw several Silver Moon Elf approaching and staring at him with unfriendly expressions, he immediately buried his head in his crotch, sat down under a shady tree, and stopped talking nonsense.
Captain Elvis walked up to Roy and said with a sneer, "These Gray Dwarf Bandit are masters of making up stories. If Dark Creatures have been in the Elf Continent for a hundred years, how could they not have been discovered by the outside world?"
Roy didn't say anything.
He knew that the Gray Dwarf Bandit originally lived in the Northernmost Land, and it was said that to travel from the Elf Continent to the Gray Dwarf ' homeland, one had to cross the entire Orc Tribe.
"Once you cross this territory of the Lapis Lazuli Beast, you'll reach Rampart Town. Mine Owners Roy, the mission we've been given is simply to escort you to Rampart Town. You'll likely have to walk the rest of the way yourself; it's a long journey. Don't be fooled by these Gray Dwarf Bandit. They may seem honest, but they're actually quite cunning and greedy..."
Captain Elvis gave Roy a few reminders before leading a group of his men to inspect other areas.
After Lord Alvis ceded this area south of Padesto City to his private domain, the only commendable thing he did was to build a Forest Avenue through this southern jungle, which leads south to Rampart Town.
Roy clearly remembered that when he first came to this jungle, Instructor Nora led everyone to follow a caravan to Bulwark Village. The caravan traveled through the jungle, stopping frequently, and would always stop for half a day when passing by some elven villages.
The treehouses in those villages are now mostly abandoned, and some are even occupied by wild animals in the forest.
Sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled patterns on the forest path. The rainy season here was over; although a light mist still lingered in the jungle in the mornings and evenings, it didn't persist until noon...
This road is much easier to travel than before, but there are no caravans or Adventure Group in sight...
The Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range in the distance had become clearer, and the further south they went, the more majestic and imposing the mountain range appeared in their eyes.
Upon arriving at Rampart Town, the Bulwark Mountain Range stood like a towering wall piercing the clouds, completely separating the northern and southern parts of the Pattington Plane...
As the nominal governor of Rampart Town, Roy had not paid any attention to the town's affairs for more than half a year. However, upon his return, he found that the town was well-managed. Treehouses had been built all over the hillside, and the forest roads on the hillside were even paved with stone slabs and pebbles. Each area was surrounded by bushes and low walls, and there were even some public pools at some major intersections.
Compared to the lifeless atmosphere of Padesto City, Rampart Town was clearly more vibrant.
Especially the children running through the woods, who dashed past the streets in a flash, and who knows if any of them were children who had been smuggled in by Leishande.
Upon seeing Roy lead a group of Gray Dwarf with their feet shackled into the town, some Half-Elf gathered from all directions.
These Half-Elf knew Roy, and in the past six months, the name of Boss Roy had been heard dozens of times almost every day. The main reason why Rampart Town was so prosperous was that Leishande purchased a large amount of supplies from the town every month and transported them to the Pagisto Plateau.
From apples, oranges, Breadfruit to fabrics and general merchandise, Leishande has become the biggest businessman in Rampart Town, single-handedly revitalizing the Rampart Town's economy.
The transport of these supplies to the Pagisto Plateau is inseparable from Boss Roy's hard work on the Pagisto Plateau. Everyone knows that Boss Roy has rescued all the Half-Elf slaves on the Pagisto Plateau.
For this reason, Commander Helik also took five thousand Half-Elf Warrior from the Rampart Town. These Half-Elf had all participated in the Rebel Army. The reason they rioted in Padesto City was because the Elven Nobles in Padesto City were secretly trading Half-Elf slaves.
Actually... reality is quite harsh.
At that time, everyone only knew that the Silver Moon Elf Lord Alvis traded Half-Elf slaves, but they did not know that many of the buyers hidden on the Pagisto Plateau were Half-Elf Mine Owners.
Compared to the outwardly glamorous but inwardly twisted Silver Moon Elf, these Half-Elf Mine Owners who harmed their own kind were clearly far more heinous.
So when Commander Helik drunkenly raised his fist in the tavern and loudly denounced those unscrupulous Half-Elf Mine Owners, all the Half-Elf in the tavern immediately became agitated, and later formed a large army heading to the Pagisto Plateau to subdue these Mine Owners...
At first, the Half-Elf remained in Rampart Town were worried about the future of this army. They were originally the core of the Rebel Army, and now that they had reorganized, if the Silver Pegasus Legion investigated, these Half-Elf would probably have to go to Parraram Island to eat in jail...
However, things did not go as the Half-Elf of Rampart Town had anticipated. Commander Helik led his band not only without encountering difficulties on the Pagisto Plateau, but also successively conquered several mines, successfully rescuing more than two thousand Half-Elf miners and driving back a large number of plateau natives.
Recently, news of Commander Helik has been frequently coming from the Pagisto Plateau. The news says that Commander Helik led his Half-Elf Warrior into the Northern Mountainous Area of the Plateau and drove a group of plateau natives into a valley.
Recently, many Half-Elf have come down from the Pagisto Plateau, and they have been telling stories of the hardships they endured on the plateau.
That's just how it is sometimes. The Half-Elf living in Rampart Town don't usually find life particularly wonderful; every day is just the same old routine...
But when they heard about the arduous lives of the Half-Elf on the Pagisto Plateau, they were immediately overwhelmed with happiness.
In fact, the highlands have their own advantages, but the Half-Elf in Rampart Town simply can't appreciate them.
When Roy arrived at Rampart Town with a large group of Gray Dwarf prisoners of war, they were immediately welcomed by the Half-Elf. Many Half-Elf came out to watch the Gray Dwarf prisoners of war. Looking at their short stature, but with large feet and strong bodies, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and whisper among themselves.
In fact, Leishande's caravan set off a day earlier than Roy's. The caravan stopped in the Rampart Town and prepared some supplies to be transported to the Pagisto Plateau.
Furthermore, Leishande planned to cultivate some caravans in Rampart Town. He encouraged the Half-Elf of Rampart Town to organize their own caravans and then transport the goods to the Pagisto Plateau.
This time, twelve small caravans are preparing to follow Leishande's pack caravan to the Pagisto Plateau, which is a very good start.
Roy captured more than 5,000 argali sheep in the Northern Plateau.
Leishande's caravan currently has about a thousand argali sheep. The rest of the argali sheep can only be kept in enclosures for now. Leishande plans to bring a batch of argali sheep to the Rampart Town to support these small caravans...
Leishande squeezed through the crowd of Half-Elf people, walked up to Roy, and smiled at him, saying, "You've arrived a day earlier than I expected. The houses are all ready. Are you going to take these Gray Dwarf prisoners of war over now?"
"Okay, let them get some rest. Two days later, we'll continue our journey to the camp at the foot of the Pagisto Plateau ..." Roy turned to look at the Gray Dwarf prisoners of war behind him and said to Leishande.
Roy divided the journey into three parts:
The first section is from Padesto City to Rampart Town. This is the easiest part of the journey, and you can rest in Rampart Town. The supplies are also relatively plentiful.
The second leg is from the Rampart Town to the camp at the foot of the Pagisto Plateau. This route involves walking through a jungle and then through a hill, but it's not too difficult.
The third section involves traversing the treacherous foothills from the southern foothills of the Pagisto Plateau into its southern Pagisto Plateau. This section is more difficult to traverse, and supplies are not readily available, so the Gray Dwarf prisoners of war are likely to suffer.
Upon hearing Roy's words, Leishande immediately shouted to the Half-Elf who had gathered around, "Everyone, make way for us..."
After saying that, he walked in front and followed the Forest Path to the west side of Rampart Town. This place was originally where the Rebel Army were stationed. The Half-Elf Rebel Army built some Row House in this forest clearing. After the peace negotiations, the Half-Elf Warrior in the Rebel Army gradually integrated into the life circle of Rampart Town, and these Row House were slowly abandoned.
Recently, Leishande's caravan has been purchasing supplies in Rampart Town, so this row of Row House has been put to use again as a warehouse, where Leishande usually stores the supplies he buys.
Woods ' uncle, a reclusive druid, was in charge of managing the warehouse. He had once joined the Half-Elf Rebel Army and fought to liberate Half-Elf slaves.
Later, the Rebel Army retreated to Rampart Town, where Uncle Woods settled down.
To prevent flash floods from destroying the warehouses during the rainy season, these Row House are all stilted houses, supported entirely by pillars.
The Row House have now been prepared, and the Gray Dwarf prisoners of war will stay Row House for two nights.
After Roy settled the Gray Dwarf in, Captain Elvis bid farewell to Roy. Their Silver Moon Elf Guard Squadron was not very popular in Rampart Town and was often looked down upon by the Half-Elf.
There was no other way; the number of the Half-Elf Rebel Army in Rampart Town was simply too large.
Those who Rebel Army and their families would never give these Silver Moon Elf Warrior a friendly look...
Roy escorted Captain Elvis out of Rampart Town. Standing outside the town, Roy said to Captain Elvis, "Thank you for escorting me all the way. Have a safe journey home..."
Captain Elvis pulled on the reins of his warhorse, waved to Roy, and then led a group of his men on horseback into the forest.
