Counterattack of the Gray Dwarf Bandits
In fact, when Miss Tiffany offered to come with Roy to the Empress Ivini Islands in Castleton City, Roy thought Miss Tiffany just wanted to use her racial abilities to help him scout out the movements of the Gray Dwarf Bandit during the naval battle...
Roy never expected that Miss Tiffany would bring back so many Magic Rune Plate with Magic Protective Shield.
The Magic Rune Array on this water-based Magic Rune Plate represent the most advanced academic knowledge that Naga Magic possess in the field of magic.
It is said that the Naga Sea Clan built their underwater city using this Magic Protective Shield. Countless semi-circular shields overlapped to create a rather spectacular city on the seabed.
The Magic Rune Array of this Magic Protective Shield rarely leak out.
The sight of eleven Three-Masted Sailboat simultaneously raising their Magic Shield was quite spectacular. A row of semi-circular shields connected together looked like a semi-circular light blue tortoise shell.
Although these Three-Masted Sailboat looked somewhat dilapidated, after inspecting the hull structure, Roy discovered that the main keel and mainmast of the sailing ships were made of expensive ironwood, and the outer planks of the hull had also been treated with anti-corrosion. Although they looked old and worn, the whole ship was very sturdy.
The Gray Dwarf even used triangular supports inside the hull to secure it, making the sailboat strong enough to withstand storms on the Endless Sea.
Four large cannons were mounted on both sides of the ship's deck; these cannons could fire solid shot.
The ship is 45 meters long. In addition to the enclosed cabins on the bottom deck, there are two decks of cabins below the deck, each with 50 cabins. Each cabin has two bunk beds and four beds. Thus, a Three-Masted Sailboat can accommodate up to 400 Half-Elf Warrior.
Additionally, the stern third of the deck features a two-story Ship Building. The first floor, besides the suggested kitchen, has a storage room, while the second floor, in addition to the captain's wheelhouse, has two lounges.
The three masts are evenly distributed on the two-thirds of the deck ahead of the hull, and there are two triangular sails and one spinnaker ahead of the mainmast.
The ram's head at the Buta Ram Head is made of bronze.
The Gray Dwarf Bandit probably hadn't cleaned the barnacles off the hull in a long time. After the Half-Elf Warrior removed the barnacles from the hull, they originally planned to paint the bottom of the ship, but unfortunately, building a dock here was too troublesome, so they could only paint the part of the hull above the water.
However, the wood used in these Three-Masted Sailboat was very carefully selected. After being soaked in seawater for a long time, the planks became more and more solid with no gaps. Moreover, this wood has a faint camphor smell. Apart from the thick barnacles covering the surface, there are almost no signs of insect damage on the hull.
As evening fell, the West Reef Islands was enveloped in a crimson sunset, and even the sea surface was tinged with a pale gold.
Some skuas flew to the rocks on the beach to rest; their nests were right there.
Several skuas gathered around a shallow puddle, vying for the small fish trapped inside.
After a busy day, a group of Half-Elf Warrior carried Yunxia back to the temporary camp. Roy went straight to the dock, climbed onto a Three-Masted Sailboat, Miss Tiffany was making final adjustments to the Magic Rune Plate on the ship.
"Won't bringing these Magic Rune Plate over cause trouble?" Roy's voice came from behind Miss Tiffany.
Miss Tiffany, exuding a faint aura of Water Elemental, answered confidently, "No, it's not some valuable Magic Rune Array. Such Magic Rune Array are already widely used in magical weapons. Besides, I bought these Magic Rune Plate with Magic Crystal Stone..."
His tone made it clear that I had paid for it.
The sun slowly sank into the sea, and a thin layer of blue mist suddenly appeared on the distant sea surface.
"Every time fog rolls in at sea, those Gray Dwarf Bandit come to land on the island. I wonder if they'll dare to come again tonight," Roy muttered as he stood by the ship.
Miss Tiffany blinked and said, "Every year during the rainy season, there's fog on the sea here, but do those Gray Dwarf Bandit really dare to sail their ships to the island in the thick fog at night?"
"That's how it was both times," Roy replied.
Miss Tiffany frowned, said nothing more, but looked up at the night sky and said:
"The Coral Reef here are so beautiful!"
He then stretched his body and jumped from the edge of the ship into the deep sea, causing a series of splashes on the surface...
The victory in the Battle of West Reef Islands was like a fuse, suddenly revealing the key to victory to the Silver Pegasus Legion. The legion's leadership finally realized that the Elf Warrior ' advantage lay in jungle warfare.
Once inside the dense forest, those short-legged, barrel-waisted Gray Dwarf Bandit can no longer run, and their fighting power is reduced by three-tenths.
Having discovered the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' weakness, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior began to proactively wage Gray Dwarf Bandit against them on the outer islands. Thus, the naval battle of the Empress Ivini Islands erupted in full force.
The initial small-scale disputes began on remote islands surrounding the Empress Ivini Islands.
The proud Silver Moon Elf Warrior were lying in ambush in the jungle, something the Gray Dwarf Bandit who had ventured to the island never expected. For more than half a month, the Gray Dwarf Bandit suffered silent losses in the battles for control of the surrounding islands.
This greatly angered the Gray Dwarf Bandit Chieftain.
In the past two weeks, the islands surrounding Empress Ivini Islands have been reporting a series of victories. The high command of the Silver Pegasus Legion thought that these Gray Dwarf Bandit were only capable of so much. The Silver Pegasus Legion Elf Warrior on Queen Island have even begun to celebrate their victories.
It's as if, at this pace of attack, the Silver Pegasus Legion could wipe out the entire Gray Dwarf Bandit in one fell swoop...
On the southern edge of the Empress Ivini Islands lies a group of Coral Reef islands. Many of these Coral Reef islands are tidal islands that are submerged, but a few small islands are always above the surface. However, these small islands are not very large; the largest island is less than 300 meters long and is a single-slope cliff.
The cliff slopes from north to south, and its slopes are covered with lush, dense forests.
The island has a beach on one side and cliffs on the other three sides. The cliff on the north side is almost 100 meters high, and below the cliff are rugged reefs extending from the sea.
This is the southernmost island of the Empress Ivini Islands, where the Silver Pegasus Legion is stationed. There is a squadron of sixty Silver Moon Elf Warrior on the island.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the wind was strong on the sea, with waves several meters high crashing against the rocks on the shore.
Visibility was low over the sea, but there was no fog.
Two nautical miles away, two Three-Masted Sailboat were anchored on the sea Silver Moon Elf Warrior hiding on the island could see the group of Gray Dwarf Bandit on the deck, who were eyeing them menacingly.
Instead of deploying along the coastline, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior lay in ambush in the jungle on the hillside, setting up hundreds of animal traps in the dense forest. They were waiting for the Gray Dwarf Bandit to take advantage of the darkness and fog to come ashore. If they rushed into the forest at night, the animal traps would give them a hard time.
Night fell once again over the island; the sky was overcast, but there was no thick fog.
A row of ropes appeared on the sides of two Three-Masted Sailboat. The fully armed Gray Dwarf Bandit slid down the ropes, climbed onto the small boats, and slowly rowed towards the beach...
Soon, the Gray Dwarf Bandit arrived at the beach in small boats, but they were not hindered by the Silver Moon Elf Warrior on the island when they arrived.
The Silver Moon Elf Warrior on the island seemed completely unaware that they had landed there.
These Gray Dwarf Bandit, clad in full-body armor resembling iron cans and carrying Dwarf Chain Shield, strode out of the waist-deep water.
The Gray Dwarf Bandit leader lifted the visor on his helmet, looked at both sides of the beach, and found nothing unusual. He then pointed to the dense forest on the hillside and gestured for the other Gray Dwarf Bandit to line up in a neat row and approach the forest with their shields raised.
Just as the Gray Dwarf Bandit emerged from the beach and stepped onto the grass, a sharp, piercing sound rang out from the night sky.
Those were Armor-Piercing Arrow frequently used by the Silver Moon Elf Warrior. Since these Gray Dwarf Bandit wore metal armor, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior were also equipped with Armor-Piercing Arrow capable of penetrating armor.
Arrows flew frequently from the dense forest, immediately slowing the advance of the gray Gray Dwarf Bandit Gray Dwarf Bandit and keeping them outside the forest.
The gray Dwarf Warrior showed no sign of dejection. They crouched outside the dense forest, forming a human wall of iron with their bodies.
The Armor-Piercing Arrow that struck the Dwarf Warrior were almost all deflected and scattered on the sand...
The Gray Dwarf Bandit knew that the dense forest before them was full of traps and that they must not venture into it at night under any circumstances.
But they had no intention of retreating and simply squatted on the grass at the edge of the beach.
late at night.
The waves crashed on the beach...
As the waves receded, Anglerfish revealed their fleshy backs, opened their blood-red eyes, and gazed into the depths of the island's dense forest.
Then, a bizarre scene unfolded: these dark Anglerfish actually stood up on the beach, their two thin, short legs supporting their plump bodies...
These fish-men can't even be considered subhuman; they are more like Fishmen Monster of a subspecies of humankind.
They held a harpoon in their hands, their large, Flippers treading on the soft sand as they slowly walked ashore.
These Fishmen Monster numerous. When they were hiding in the sea, lines of water would appear on the surface. Now that they are walking onto the beach one by one, these Fishmen Monster have suddenly become a huge, dark mass.
If you observe these Fishmen Monster close, you will find that they have fish-like faces, black fleshy bumps on their backs, thin limbs, and can hold weapons and walk upright.
They were only about 1.5 meters tall, huddled together, their bodies soaking wet, with mucus dripping from their bodies onto the beach.
A massive swarm of fishmen rushed ashore on the island's beach, creating a truly spectacular sight.
They struggled to walk on the beach, barely faster than a tortoise crawling...
A hundred meters ahead, you can see the Gray Dwarf Bandit lying there.
Just as these Fishmen Monster hesitated to approach, other snake-tailed, human-bodied figures emerged from the sea. They had six arms, faces covered in scales, sharp teeth, gills, colorful fins behind their ears, and spines protruding from their backs. Their bodies were covered in blue scales, and a pale red fin ran along their entire snake tail from their lower back.
They cannot be considered part of the Naga Sea Clan; rather, they belong to another branch of the Naga Sea Clan —the Siren.
It is said that cursed mermaids will turn into sirens. A row of sirens appeared on the coastline, numbering in the dozens. They carried long, thorny whips and were driving these Fishmen Monster from the sea toward the island.
Only when these Fishmen Monster crossed the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' defenses and stepped into the green meadow did arrows flying from the dense forest begin to strike their bodies.
Then, the sea monsters standing in the sea blew the whistles hanging around their necks.
The sharp, piercing whistles echoed throughout the night, driving the Fishmen Monster mad.
A large number of Fishmen Monster shouted "gibberish" and charged into the rain of arrows.
Even with arrows lodged all over their bodies, they refused to retreat an inch. Even when they fell, they desperately crawled forward, leaving behind countless corpses of Fishmen Monster on the grass.
The Fishmen Monster that rushed into the forest kept triggering forest traps, and their bodies were even scratched and injured by the dense bushes.
The dense forest was immediately filled with the smell of fish, and the branches of the low shrubs were covered with slime and rotten flesh.
The Fishmen Monster collapsed, wailing incessantly...
However, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior, hidden high in the dense forest, discovered that the situation on the island was spiraling out of control. The Gray Dwarf Bandit, following behind the Fishmen Monster, stormed into the forest, and the traps in the forest no longer posed a threat to them.
With their sheer numbers, the Fishmen Monster conducted a thorough search, leaving the Silver Moon Elf Warrior hiding in the trees with nowhere to hide.
The Gray Dwarf Bandit were born with superhuman strength, and were followed by sirens who constantly unleashed Ice Arrow Technique.
The original plan to use the jungle to annihilate all the Gray Dwarf Bandit was shattered when the Fishmen Monster charged in...
The Silver Moon Elf fought and retreated, all the way to the edge of a cliff. Of the more than sixty Silver Moon Elf, only about twenty remained in this bloody battle.
The entire hillside is now teeming with Fishmen Monster, with the Gray Dwarf Bandit and Fishmen Monster mingling among them.
The twenty-odd surviving Silver Moon Elf Warrior were also covered in wounds. They stood on the edge of the cliff, with the vast ocean behind them...
The Silver Moon Elf had already laid down the prepared ropes here; this was their pre-planned escape route.
One by one, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior slid down the cliff using ropes.
At almost the same time, a large number of Fishmen Monster rushed up the cliff, while some Fishmen Monster were pushed off the cliff by the Fishmen Monster surging up from behind, letting out sharp and piercing screams.
The twenty-odd Elf Warrior slipped to the bottom of the cliff, quickly boarded the Flying Fish Boat, and left the island overnight.
