Return to Pattington

In July 1408, the Silver Moon Elf won the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle.

While the victors savored the fruits of their victory, the defeated Gray Dwarf Bandit could only slink away from the Elf Continent's seas.

The Gray Dwarf Bandit suffered heavy losses in this naval battle, and they probably won't be able to return to the coastline of the Elf Continent in the short term...

The Silver Pegasus Legion won the victory and regained control of the Empress Ivini Islands.

Unfortunately, the spoils of this victory were destined to be mostly divided between the Great Elf Archer Legion and the Moon God Temple Priest Corps, with the remaining spoils barely enough to compensate for the losses suffered by the Silver Pegasus Legion in the naval battle.

This is why Earl Swynborne struggled until the very end before finally seeking help from the Buenos Capital.

Fortunately, the Empress Ivini Islands were preserved intact after the Earl Swynborne relinquished a huge amount of profit.

Even the Moon God Temple failed to gain control of the Empress Ivini Islands.

During their pursuit of the Gray Dwarf Bandit at sea, the Silver Pegasus Knights captured fifty-seven Three-Masted Sailboat, as well as a large amount of treasure looted by the Gray Dwarf Bandit from various places. This wealth was almost completely divided up by the Great Elf Archer Legion and the Moon God Temple Priest Corps.

Another beneficiary of this naval battle was the Naga Sea Clan of the Endless Sea. After they reclaimed the Dimore Trench, they effectively eliminated the largest underwater scourge near the Empress Ivini Islands.

Almost all of these events following the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle were told to Roy by Commander Berkeley.

As an external legion of the Silver Pegasus Legion, Roy had no access to the Silver Pegasus Legion's core intelligence, but he happened to have a good relationship with Commander Berkeley.

West Reef Islands suffered the least damage in the naval battle, and as Transit Station for logistical supplies, it proved to be a great help to Commander Berkeley in the later stages of the battle...

At the end of July, a sea storm had just hit the West Reef Islands.

After the storm, the beach was a mess.

The Half-Elf, accustomed to life on the Pagisto Plateau, had never experienced such a violent storm. Almost overnight, the storm completely overturned the temporary camp on the island, and most of the Half-Elf Warrior huddled under large trees, enduring the storm with their bare bodies...

After the rain stopped, the Half-Elf Warrior had to rebuild their temporary tents, while some of the Half-Elf moved directly into the dormitories on the Three-Masted Sailboat.

The Half-Elf Guard Regiment has been stationed in the West Reef Islands for nearly five months. When many Half-Elf rest, they like to sit on the sea rocks and look towards Pattington Island.

Roy has been waiting for news from the military these past few days. When Commander Berkeley came here last time, he told Roy that the Half-Elf Guard Regiment would be able to withdraw from the West Reef Islands soon. After all, it is an army composed of Half-Elf, and the Silvermoon Elven Nobles cannot tolerate the presence of the Half-Elf Army on the Elf Continent, not even on Empress Ivini Islands.

The order to withdraw from the Pattington Plane is likely already on Earl Swynborne's desk, awaiting only Earl Swynborne final signature...

Roy waited for half a month. Three days had passed since the farewell ceremony held by the Silver Moon Elf residents of the main island of the West Reef Islands for the Half-Elf Guard Regiment, and embarrassingly, the Conscription Order for the withdrawal had still not arrived...

Roy also distinguished himself in this naval battle, as he successfully defended the West Reef Islands with the help of the Half-Elf Guard Regiment.

The main reason he was in a hurry to return to the Pattington Plane was that a large number of merchant ships from the Grimm Empire had arrived at Castleton Harbour. The Imperial Merchant came to the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom to purchase Magic Herbs, and the Pattington Plane to be a plane that was rich in Magic Herbs.

At this moment, Roy hoped to buy up large quantities of Elementary Magic Herbs from the Half-Elf elves on the Pagisto Plateau and then sell them to the Imperial Merchant...

Finally, a fleet of medium-sized sailboats appeared on the distant sea. Roy immediately ran to the dock, and sure enough, it was Commander Berkeley's supply Supply Ship.

Recently, the most active ships in the Silver Pegasus Legion have been the logistics department's Supply Ship.

Commander Berkeley was primarily responsible for the allocation of supplies, and a large amount of military equipment was transported from Pattington Island every week.

Roy Commander Berkeley, beaming and with a smile that never faded, stride off the ship, Commander Berkeley asked him:

"Commander Berkeley, has the military's transfer order come through yet?"

The two bumped fists.

The Commander Berkeley excitedly said:

"Yes, I've brought the transfer order."

Seeing Roy's anxious look, Commander Berkeley laughed and said, "Why do you look so impatient? Are you in such a hurry to return to the Pattington Plane?"

Roy stood still, pointed to the clear sky above and then to the vast ocean in the distance, and explained to the Commander Berkeley, "It's the rainy season now, and I want to get them back to Pattington before the second storm hits."

The Commander Berkeley pulled a Parchment Scroll from his pocket, smiled, and handed it to Roy, saying:

"You can evacuate now."

After saying that, Commander Berkeley signaled his men to unload a batch of supplies off the ship, and then he and Roy walked side by side along the wooden planks of the dock toward the temporary camp.

As Commander Berkeley, he said, "Actually, the transfer order could have been sent over last week. The reason it's a little late is because I wanted to help you secure some war benefits. In any case, we won this time, so we should enjoy the fruits of victory."

Roy had heard from Commander Berkeley that the Silver Pegasus Legion might not have gained much from this naval battle, and might even have suffered some losses, so he thought there wouldn't be any rewards.

It's a bit surprising that the Commander Berkeley now claims to have secured some benefits for him.

"Ah, our Half-Elf Guard Regiment will also get some benefits?" Roy said in surprise.

Commander Berkeley laughed heartily, "Of course, at the very least those two thousand-plus Gray Dwarf prisoners of war belong to your Half-Elf Guard Regiment. You can take them back to Pattington Plane when you have time."

After saying that, he jumped from the wooden planks erected on the dock onto the shore, stepping onto the soft white sand. Pointing to the Three-Masted Sailboat moored side by side on the dock, he said to Roy, "I also secured berths for you at Pattington Island dock. You can moor these Three-Masted Sailboat at Pattington Island dock."

These Three-Masted Sailboat were indeed a bit of a headache for Roy, mainly because he had nowhere to put them. Roy had originally planned to sail them back to Castleton Harbour.

Now, according to Commander Berkeley, these Three-Masted Sailboat can be moored at the dock on Pattington Island, and all the problems will be solved.

After saying this, Commander Berkeley handed the Parchment Scroll to Roy. Roy opened it and saw that it indeed ordered the Half-Elf Guard Regiment to go to the Pattington Plane.

With this order, Roy was able to lead the Guard Regiment back to the Pattington Plane.

Commander Berkeley then reached into his Magic Pouch and pulled out a second Parchment Scroll, handing it to Roy.

"Commander Roy, this is your appointment order."

Roy took the Parchment Scroll with surprise, tore it open with both hands, and saw that it was written inside:

'Appointment Order: Roy is hereby appointed as the Commander of the Half-Elf Guard Regiment of the Pagisto Plateau in the Pattington Plane, within the Silver Pegasus Legion Headquarters.'

It also bears the military seal and the signature of the Earl Swynborne.

This Parchment Scroll, a formal appointment order, officially made Roy a commander-level officer in the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Commander Berkeley placed his hands on Roy's shoulders and explained to him:

"It was because of this appointment order that I waited an extra week at the Silver Pegasus Military Department. Well, now you're the commander of the Silver Pegasus Legion, congratulations, Commander Roy! You've done a good job in the West Reef Islands these past few weeks, thank you for ensuring the smooth operation of the rear supply lines..."

Roy held the appointment order, somewhat at a loss.

Although he was previously the captain of the Half-Elf Guard Regiment and the Mine Owners of all the mines on the Pagisto Plateau, he never had an official position in the Silver Pegasus Military Department. Now that he has obtained this appointment order, he is nominally on the same level as Commander Helix.

Commander Berkeley only stayed in West Reef Islands for nearly an hour. After unloading a batch of supplies, he led the fleet to Queen Ivini Island.

Roy received the transfer order and immediately instructed his Half-Elf Warrior to prepare to evacuate the West Reef Islands.

Roy had enough ships, so Commander Berkeley didn't need to arrange medium-sized sailing vessels for the Half-Elf Guard Regiment's evacuation from West Reef Islands...

Upon hearing that they could finally leave the West Reef Islands, the Half-Elf Warrior dismantled the makeshift tents in the trees that very night and moved to their Three-Masted Sailboat to live.

Nearly five thousand Half-Elf Warrior were stationed on the main island of West Reef Islands, which filled the cabins of eleven Three-Masted Sailboat.

The next morning, before dawn, these Three-Masted Sailboat set sail towards Pattington Island, taking advantage of the sudden sea breeze...

When the Half-Elf Guard Regiment withdrew from the West Reef Islands, they restored the temporary camp to its original state, and during this time they did not disturb the Silver Moon Elf residents of the island.

Just then, the Guard Regiment was preparing to leave the island. Upon hearing the news, a large group of Silver Moon Elf ran out from the village halfway up the mountain and stood on the dock to bid farewell to the Half-Elf Warrior in the Guard Regiment...

Unfortunately, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom on the island failed to awaken until they left.

Roy was unable to meet the Ancient Tree of Wisdom one last time before leaving.

The Three-Masted Sailboat arrived at Pattington Island, Roy led three thousand Half-Elf Warrior through the Teleportation Portal of the Pattington Plane back to the Padesto City.

Roy then returned to Pattington Island and sailed to Parrham Island Prison, where he retrieved 2,000 Gray Dwarf prisoners of war, which were then transported to Pattington Island by these Three-Masted Sailboat.

Eleven Three-Masted Sailboat will be temporarily moored at Pattington Island dock.

Subsequently, the Half-Elf Warrior escorted two thousand Gray Dwarf prisoners of war back to Padesto City...

Two thousand Gray Dwarf prisoners of war appeared in the Central Square of Padesto City. They were bare-chested, wearing only linen shorts, with bronze skin and muscles like lumps of iron.

Most of the Gray Dwarf prisoners of war appeared weak and powerless, their hands and shackles connected to black collars around their necks, and their feet were also chained. Ten Gray Dwarf prisoners of war were chained together.

They slept together, ate together, and even went to the toilet in groups of ten.

It's clear that these Gray Dwarf prisoners of war have suffered a lot in the Parrham Island Prison.

It seemed that all the Half-Elf in the Padesto City had heard that a group of Gray Dwarf prisoners of war had arrived at the Central Square, so the streets around the Central Square were completely Half-Elf.

Many Half-Elf came to see just how fierce these Half-Elf really were.

Roy ordered the Half-Elf Warrior to escort the Gray Dwarf prisoners of war outside the city. The streets inside the city were already in complete chaos, and he didn't want so many Gray Dwarf prisoners of war causing trouble in Padesto City.

At this time, a large amount of supplies were stored in the Central Square, most of which were covered with tarpaulins.

After the Half-Elf Guard Regiment arrived in Padesto City, Silver Moon Elf Warrior from the Security Guard Regiment immediately rushed over to check their qualifications and identities. Before long, even Commander Helix came over to check on the situation.

Commander Hekelis rode up on horseback, followed by a dozen or so Silver Moon Elf Warrior, looking extremely arrogant...

When he saw Roy, his face was expressionless. His warhorse crossed the stone path of the Central Square and stopped directly in front of Roy: "Mine Owners Roy, please show me your Conscription Order!"

Commander Hekelis looked rather grim and didn't even glance at Roy before turning his head away.

Roy knew this was routine business, so he took out the Conscription Order and handed it to Commander Helix.

"Huh... This is just Conscription Order from the Half-Elf Guard Regiment. It doesn't specify how to handle the Gray Dwarf prisoners of war. So bringing so many Gray Dwarf prisoners of war to Padesto City violates the military's regulations on the management of the Pattington Island Plane Teleportation Portal! These Gray Dwarf prisoners of war are not allowed to enter the Pattington Plane!"

Commander Hekelis carefully read the contents of the Conscription Order and then spoke.

"These Gray Dwarf prisoners of war are spoils of war that I have captured, and I have the right to bring them to the Pattington Plane!"

Roy looked up and spoke to Commander Helix on horseback.

"These Gray Dwarf prisoners of war have seriously affected the security of the Padesto City. I now order you to send these prisoners back the way they came!" Commander Helix raised his voice, and his tone became somewhat sharp.

The once noisy Teleportation Portal immediately fell silent.

Roy was leading a squad of Half-Elf Warrior out of the square when several Silver Moon Elf Guard Regiment rushed up to block Roy path.

When the Half-Elf Warrior following Roy saw the four Silvermoon Elven Guard draw their Elf Long Sword and point the tips at Roy, they immediately stepped forward and rushed forward.

They were a group of warriors who had just returned from the battlefield of the West Reef Islands. Their murderous aura had not yet completely dissipated. Almost instantly, more than a dozen longswords were placed at the necks of the four Silver Moon Elven Guard, which terrified the four Elven Guard, turning their faces ashen.
