First Naval Battle
Beneath the oak trees in the forest cemetery, a row of the corpses of Half-Elf Warrior lay on the leaves of Red Hibiscus.
A group of Half-Elf Warrior were digging a pit under a tree. Dead elves are always buried under some big trees. When they are alive, they are nourished by the Tree of Life Sap, and after they die, their bodies are returned to the embrace of the Child of Nature.
Last night's battle with the Gray Dwarf Bandit resulted in the deaths of 74 Half-Elf Warrior on the docks.
These Gray Dwarf Bandit, clad in full Dwarf Chain Mail, were quite formidable in combat.
Even though their forces were outnumbered and they were being driven back by the Half-Elf Warrior at the docks, the last-ditch counterattacks of some of the Gray Dwarf Bandit still claimed the precious lives of many Half-Elf Warrior.
Roy led the way in moving the bodies of the Half-Elf Warrior to the forest cemetery on the island. The Silver Moon Elf residents of the island also learned about the battle the previous night, and they spontaneously came to the forest cemetery to attend the funeral and bid farewell to these Half-Elf warriors.
Several Silver Moon Elf residents even played mournful sacred hymns on an organ and recorder under a fir tree.
The old Silver Moon Elf who didn't think much of the Half-Elf was also standing in the crowd. Everyone looked solemn and watched silently as the Half-Elf Warrior dug graves under the trees.
The Silver Moon Elf residents picked some Red Hibiscus flower spikes and placed them at the feet of the Half-Elf Warrior...
In this Night Battle, the number of Gray Dwarf Bandit who died was seven times that of the Half-Elf Warrior perished.
The Half-Elf cleaned up the battlefield, finding the bodies of 531 Gray Dwarf Bandit near the docks.
In addition, 364 Gray Dwarf prisoners of war were held in makeshift wooden cages.
In this Night Battle on the island, the Half-Elf Warrior had a military advantage. After forming a square formation, the Half-Elf Warrior dealt a fatal blow to the Gray Dwarf Bandit who were soaking wet and had just crawled out of the sea.
Another battle took place under the cover of darkness and mist, with the Assassin Squad accompanying Roy acting as Soul Reaper in the night.
At least three hundred Gray Dwarf Bandit died at the hands of the Dark Moon Elf Warrior of the Assassin Squad in this battle.
The dock was a scene of devastation, with blood staining the wooden planks and many wooden frames broken and collapsed due to the fighting. Fortunately, two medium-sized sailing ships moored on the dock survived the battle, while the Flying Fish Boat were reduced to ashes when the Gray Dwarf Bandit retreated.
Although both medium-sized sailboats have suffered some damage and need proper repairs, they are still able to sail at sea.
The wounded Half-Elf Warrior were all sent back to the temporary camp on the main island. This time, Roy only used Holy Light Art to heal the wounded Half-Elf Warrior. For those wounded who could be healed by Healing Potion, he distributed two bottles of Minor Life Potion and a cup of diluted Tree of Life Sap.
After attending the funeral of the island's Half-Elf Warrior, Roy took a squadron of Half-Elf and sailed to other islands in the West Suburbs Islands to inspect the fighting.
The other twenty islands, which are guarded by Half-Elf Warrior, all experienced fierce battles of varying degrees last night.
The battles on some islands were fierce, with the Gray Dwarf Bandit even being surrounded and killed by the Half-Elf Warrior on the beach. Some Gray Dwarf Bandit, upon discovering the presence of Half-Elf Warrior on the islands, immediately turned and fled back to the fleet.
The Half-Elf Warrior also suffered considerable casualties in this Night Raid by the Gray Dwarf Bandit.
Although even more Gray Dwarf died in battle, Roy could now finally understand the anxiety in Earl Swynborne's heart...
Unexpectedly, on their second Night Raid in the West Reef Islands, they were attacked by Gray Dwarf Bandit. These Gray Dwarf Bandit came under the cover of fog and left with it, leaving the Silver Pegasus cavalry with no advantage at night...
As dawn broke, the ships of these Gray Dwarf Bandit gathered in the waters far from the Empress Ivini Islands. These ships were equipped with Sky-Shooting Ballista, and even the Silver Pegasus knights dared not get too close.
The West Reef Islands are located on the outer edge of the Empress Ivini Islands, and the Silver Pegasus Knights have no jurisdiction over this area.
The appearance of the Gray Dwarf Bandit fleet near this reef island is definitely a big problem for Roy...
Although the Half-Elf Warrior gained the upper hand in the first battle, easily repelling the Gray Dwarf Bandit, it was because the Gray Dwarf Bandit did not realize that a large number of Half-Elf guards would be stationed on the West Reef Islands. The Gray Dwarf Bandit suffered heavy losses because they rashly attacked the islands.
When they come back again, they probably won't be so easy to deal with...
Roy, while inspecting the battle situation by boat, also brought the Silver Moon Elf living on other reef islands back to the main island, leaving only the Half-Elf Warrior to retreat into the jungle.
As Roy instructed, the Half-Elf Warrior were to avoid engaging the Gray Dwarf Bandit near the beach if they encountered them again on the island in the coming nights.
Roy believed that the Half-Elf should not fight the Gray Dwarf Bandit in open areas, even if they had the advantage in military equipment and terrain, they would suffer some unnecessary losses.
The elves' battlefield must be in the jungle...
Half-Elf Warrior clad in light cavalry armor can run freely through the woodlands, but Gray Dwarf Bandit in full chainmail cannot, as their naturally short legs prevent them from navigating the overgrown thickets with ease.
For the next few nights, dense fog appeared at sea.
The Gray Dwarf Bandit did not disappoint Roy; every night, the sailboats would arrive on schedule, carried by the thick fog.
However, following Roy's orders, the Half-Elf Warrior retreated into the jungle of the reef island, leaving the Gray Dwarf Bandit with no choice but to enter the jungle...
After several days of fierce fighting, the Gray Dwarf Bandit in the waters near West Reef Islands were the first to succumb to the pressure of heavy casualties. Meanwhile, West Reef Islands was proving difficult to conquer. The surviving Gray Dwarf Bandit then boarded ships and withdrew from the waters West Reef Islands.
Despite the harsh conditions of the island, the Half-Elf Warrior, through their frequent victories in jungle warfare, caused the Gray Dwarf Bandit to lose confidence in their claim to the West Reef Islands.
The battle lasted a full week before these Gray Dwarf Bandit finally retreated from the West Reef Islands...
A medium-sized sailboat sped across the sea, its sails billowing, and the sailboat was moving at a great speed...
Roy stood on the Lookout Platform tower atop the mainmast, one hand gripping the mast as he gazed into the distance. A fleet on the sea was being forced to flee southwest by a group of Silver Pegasus Warrior.
