Silver Moon Elf Reinforcements

June arrived in the blink of an eye, as the Gray Dwarf Bandit and the Siren Legion formed a naval alliance and began plundering the islands on the edge of the Empress Ivini Islands.

The Silver Moon Elf Warrior on the outer islands suffered repeated losses, so Earl Swynborne had no choice but to order a retreat and concentrate the Silvermoon Elven Guard on the outer islands to garrison several large islands in the Empress Ivini Islands.

The West Reef Islands are located in the rear of the Empress Ivini Islands. Because the Gray Dwarf Bandit suffered heavy losses on the West Reef Islands twice, the West Reef Islands have not felt any pressure from the Gray Dwarf Bandit and the Siren Legion in the past month or so.

Commander Berkeley believed that the West Reef Islands were not involved in the battle mainly because the Gray Dwarf Bandit and the Siren Legion had their sights set on the three main islands of Empress Ivini Islands.

However, the three main islands of Empress Ivini Islands are protected by the War Ancient Tree, and after several major battles, the combined forces of the Gray Dwarf Bandit and the Siren Legion have not gained any advantage.

The Gray Dwarf Bandit are currently building Bunker Fortifications on the outer islands of the Empress Ivini Islands in an attempt to completely blockade the area.

In that case, the next strategic target of the Gray Dwarf Bandit will inevitably be the back door of Empress Ivini Islands — the West Reef Islands.

In the past month or so, Roy has transferred another three thousand Half-Elf Warrior from the Pagisto Plateau.

The Half-Elf Guard Regiment has been replenished with manpower. Even if the injured Half-Elf Warrior have recovered, they can return to the Pagisto Plateau for leave. Therefore, the total strength of the Half-Elf Guard Regiment in the West Reef Islands has remained at around 5,000.

After nearly two months of intensive training, the Half-Elf Warrior were able to skillfully maneuver eleven Three-Masted Sailboat to navigate freely within the waters of the West Reef Islands.

Meanwhile, the Elf Academy in Castleton City also began its holiday before the rainy season arrived.

On the beach next to the main island's pier, Roy and Woods sat side by side on a rock, gazing at the distant sunset through eleven Three-Masted Sailboat.

Woods said with some concern, "Roy, I know you guys have been at war, but I didn't expect the situation to be this tense. Some time ago, news came to Castleton City that the Silver Pegasus Legion had found the key to victory. Now, how come the Silver Pegasus Legion has retreated to the three main islands?"

"The Gray Dwarf Bandit and the sirens have formed an alliance. The sirens are using Fishmen Monster to storm the islands. Apart from the three main islands, there shouldn't be any island in the Empress Ivini Islands that can hold out," Roy muttered to Woods.

Because of this, Roy has already gathered the Half-Elf Warrior from the West Reef Islands around Key West to the main island.

Currently, the number of Half-Elf guards on the main island has reached five thousand.

Even if the Gray Dwarf Bandit and the Siren Legion arrived at West Reef Islands right now and tried to take over this main island, they would have to pay a considerable price.

Hearing Roy say this, Woods became even more worried and said, "What if we lose the three main islands? Will we have to give up the Empress Ivini Islands?"

"This is the last springboard for the elves to enter the Endless Sea, how could it possibly fall!"

Roy smiled and said, but there wasn't much confidence in his tone.

"But doesn't the current dire situation speak volumes?" Woods said anxiously, muttering, "We should have brought the Black Pearl over and let that ship contribute to this naval battle. Roy, have you considered what would happen if West Reef Islands fell?"

Roy paused for a moment before saying, "Then let's take the fleet and retreat to Pattington Island."

"..."

Then the two fell silent. This topic left Roy and Woods with no hope of victory in the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle, or any hope of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

The opponent's use of Fishmen Monster as cannon fodder on the battlefield clearly countered the jungle warfare that the Silver Moon Elf excelled at.

In the distance, on the sea, Moira was desperately chasing after Miss Tiffany, who had transformed into a Naga mermaid.

She's been learning to swim lately, and even wearing tight leather armor, she managed to hold her own against Miss Tiffany for a while.

Sabrina sat on the beach with her knees drawn up to her chest. She didn't go into the water, but simply watched quietly as Moira and Miss Tiffany played in the sea.

Sabrina and Moira arrived at Pattington Island by ship the day after the Elf Academy's holiday. They stayed on Pattington Island for a day before finding a Silver Pegasus Legion supply Supply Ship and Supply Ship to the West Reef Islands.

Woods accompanied the two of them this time to deliver four boxes of basic magic potions to Roy.

Ironically, Roy currently controls the market for low-level Magic Herbs Pattington Plane, and also owns a medium-sized Alchemy Workshop in Castleton City. Yet, when his own army needed magical potions, Woods managed to scrape together only four boxes of basic magical potions.

What put Woods and Roy in this predicament was not the poor management or impending bankruptcy of the Alchemy Workshop.

On the contrary, the Alchemy Workshop in Castleton City is currently being expanded and is actively recruiting magical potion masters.

The main reason is that within the past month and a half, the Alchemy Workshop has sold out all of its basic magic potions and Elementary Magic Herbs three times in a row.

Even though the price of these Elementary Magic Herbs has nearly doubled compared to two months ago, the market for Elementary Magic Herbs is still in short supply, and even the warehouses in Padesto City have run out of stock.

Augustus, the herbalist from Padesto City, has already led a caravan of a hundred people to the Blackwater Swamp to purchase Magic Herbs.

As a result, the Pattington Plane also ushered in its first huge windfall from Magic Herbs.

In the past month and a half, almost all industries related to Magic Herbs in Padesto City have seen some improvement, and new Magic Herbs shops have even sprung up like mushrooms after rain on Padesto City's commercial streets.

The instigators of this situation were the large merchant groups that came from the Grimm Empire.

As soon as the large ships arrived at Castleton Harbour, they immediately began their shopping spree.

Whether it's Magic Inscription Construct, magical weapons, magical potions and herbs, or even Water Magic scrolls, these Imperial Merchant don't just walk into magic shops and pick things out randomly. Instead, they book the entire Magic Shop and buy all the magical goods.

They buy everything, and almost half of the Magic Crystal Stone they pay for are black.

Speaking of these Magic Crystal Stone, most of them are actually magic cores found inside the bodies of magical beasts. These magic cores usually contain Magic Crystal Stone the size of walnuts.

The colors of Magic Crystal Stone are also varied. According to research by magic scholars, the specific color of a magic core mainly depends on the magical attributes of the magical beast itself.

Magic Crystal Stone obtained from magical beasts possessing air-type magic are mostly white, Magic Crystal Stone from water-type magical beasts are almost always bluish, Magic Crystal Stone from fire-type magical beasts are red, those from earth-type are yellow, and those from wood-type are green. If the magical elements within a magical beast are very pure, then the Magic Crystal Stone will be these basic colors.

However, if a Magic Crystal Stone contains Water Magic and fire magic elements, then the Magic Crystal Stone will most likely be purple.

The black Magic Crystal Stone that the Imperial Merchant brought out looked just like flawless obsidian, and they were filled with an incredibly rich magical aura, making them highly sought after by mages...

All the goods in Roy's Alchemy Workshop were bought by these Imperial Merchant.

Woods took only four boxes of basic magic potions with him and went straight to West Reef Islands.

"How's Klayr doing lately?" Roy asked Woods.

If Klayr hadn't been pulling strings and making connections, the Alchemy Workshop in Castleton City would probably have been destroyed long ago.

"He's currently preparing for his summer stargazing concert, so he couldn't come with us," Woods said.

The sunset gradually swallowed the sky, the clouds began to change from red to dark blue, and a warm, humid sea breeze blew in, bringing the most comfortable moment of the day to the main island of West Reef Islands.

Moira, in the sea, kept calling to Sabrina on the beach, her joyful expression like that of a little dolphin...

As darkness fell, masts began to appear on the sea, and billowing sails gradually emerged, resembling a forest on the water in the dim light.

It was the lookout on the mainmast of the Three-Masted Sailboat who first spotted the fleet, but the Half-Elf lookouts seemed to make no move.

Woods gazed nervously into the distance, and even Sabrina on the beach stood up, looking at the sails in the distance...

Moira and Miss Tiffany swam quickly toward the shore.

Roy, however, showed no sign of nervousness. He glanced at the distant sea and said to the tense Woods, "Don't worry, judging from these sails, they should be the Silver Moon Elf fleet." Roy said casually.

He recognized that these sails were typical of medium-sized sailing ships because of the Lookout Platform on the masts.

"Ah..."

Woods breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, after a while, these medium-sized sailboats came into view. However, these sailboats did not stop at the main island of West Reef Islands, but passed by the main island and headed east towards the main island of Empress Ivini Islands.

Although it was getting late, the route chosen by these medium-sized sailing ships was very close to the main island of the West Reef Islands, so Roy could clearly see the Silver Moon Elf Warrior on those ships. These Silver Moon Elf Warrior, dressed in silver armor, all carried Elf Longbow on their backs. Even the elite troops of the Silver Pegasus Legion were not equipped with Elf Longbow...

Roy suddenly remembered what the Commander Berkeley had said to him a few days ago when he passed by.

Commander Berkeley remarked at the time, "This time, it's possible that other legions from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will intervene in the naval battle of Empress Ivini Islands."

Roy also asked curiously, "Will they deploy the Unicorn Legion?"

Commander Berkeley chuckled. "That's unlikely. The Unicorn Legion won't leave the Holy Land easily; it's most likely the Great Elf Archer Legion."

Now, seeing the silver-armored Elf Archer on the medium-sized sailing ship, Roy immediately thought of the great elven archers Commander Berkeley had mentioned. This was an army that truly represented the Silver Moon Elf' strength...

More than thirty central sailing ships, fully loaded with great elf archers, sailed past the main island.

As darkness was approaching, a sliver of moonlight hung in the night sky, and beams of light appeared from the stern of the medium-sized sailboat behind them, looking as if they were shooting down from the moon.

There are also ten of these medium-sized sailboats...

Roy and Woods both stood up from the rocks with surprise, gazing at the sailboats in the distance.

In the dim light, Roy could vaguely see the flag of the Moon God Temple fluttering at the bow of the ship.

"It's a priestess from the Moon God Temple!" Roy and Woods said almost simultaneously.

The two looked at each other. Under these circumstances, neither of them expected that the Priest Corps of the Moon God Temple would actually be mobilized.

The Silver Moon Elf Kingdom's move is quite clear: they will never abandon the Empress Ivini Islands under any circumstances...

Roy let out a long breath, sat down again, and said to Woods beside him, "I reckon this battle will be decided soon. These Gray Dwarf Bandit still haven't figured out the true strength of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom!"

"Yes, the Great Elf Archer Legion and the Moon God Temple Priest Corps, while not as powerful as the Silver Pegasus Legion and the Unicorn Legion, are still the elite legions of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom," Woods said excitedly.

Roy jumped off the rocks and quickly walked towards the temporary camp, saying as he went:

"Although the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' fleet did not sail into the West Reef Islands, we should still try to get a share. The Siren Legion's tactics are very simple: they use the lives of Fishmen Monster to pave a bloody path. They can do this against the Silver Moon Elf Warrior, but it is not enough against us."

"Let's make some preparations first and see if any Gray Dwarf Bandit will break into the West Reef Islands!"

Roy whispered to Woods as they walked toward the makeshift camp...

In his view, the headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau were far more formidable than the Fishmen Monster.

In addition, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior do not have the tenacity of the Half-Elf Warrior, and their fighting spirit on the Silver Moon Elf Warrior is not high. Although their military equipment and combat skills are excellent, they will immediately collapse when faced with a life-or-death decision.

At this moment, Moira and Miss Tiffany also came ashore and joined Sabrina, then followed Roy back to the temporary camp.

Moira, with a towel draped over her shoulders, followed Roy eagerly, asking, "Roy, are you getting ready for a mission? Don't forget to take me with you this time..."

"No, it's just a temporary deployment."

Roy said without turning his head.

Forty medium-sized sailing ships have just passed by in one go. If each of these ships is fully loaded with Silver Moon Elf Warrior and priests, then it means that an elite army of ten thousand elves is heading towards the main island of Empress Ivini Islands.

This also means that a major battle is about to begin.

Therefore, Roy wanted the Half-Elf Warrior in the temporary camp to be fully prepared...
