In the fourth week of August, Roy led Half-Elf Guard Regiment to the col camp at the foot of Pagisto Plateau mountain. After repairing in the camp for three days, he led a large group of people into Southern Foothills of Pagisto Plateau.

This time he not only had to escort two thousand Gray Dwarf prisoners of war, but also carried a large number of Magic Machinerys. Almost all Magic Machinerys were suspended more than three meters above the ground with Floating Devices. Each Magic Machinery was pulled by four war horses.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that four war horses could pull a Magic Machinery that was as big as a room...

These supplies were discharged far back in the queue.

After entering the southern foothills, crossing the mountains is not the most difficult thing. The biggest problem is passing these materials through the mountain pass.

Due to the strong winds at the mountain pass, it would be very troublesome for these military supplies to pass through the mountain pass. Roy mobilized almost two thousand Half-Elf Warrior to allow these Magic Machinery to pass through the strong wind steadily...

A Half-Elf Warrior who had traveled in the Grimm Empire described to Roy the most popular means of transportation there - Magic Airship.

In fact, before that, Imperial Merchant had also described it to Roy, but due to the rush of time, Roy couldn't understand it at all, and he didn't understand the driving device of Magic Airship at all.

Half-Elf Warrior described the structure of Magic Airship to Roy in detail. Only then did Roy understand that the airship in this magical world turned out to be a flying sailboat. Floating Device is only responsible for lifting Magic Airship into the high altitude, but Magic Airship itself does not actually have a strong driving force. They can fly in the air completely relying on Wind Stream Layer in the high altitude...

"According to you, as long as I install these Floating Devices on a Three-Masted Sailboat, that sailboat will become a Magic Airship?" Roy rode a horse and turned around to ask the talkative Half-Elf Warrior.

"That's almost it! But there are some differences between Magic Airship and a sailboat. Magic Airship actually has a Propulsion Device, but the driving force is not very strong. It can barely make the airship complete a certain angle of drift in Wind Stream Layer. In other words, Wind Stream Layer The wind direction in cannot blow the Magic Airship to the next destination accurately. The Propulsion Device on the Magic Airship can adjust the course slightly. In addition, the mast and sail are somewhat different. The Magic Airship is actually lighter than the sailboat..." Half-Elf Warrior introduced in detail.

Roy kind of wants to build a Magic Airship and let it travel between Padesto City and Plateau City.

In this case, it may only take a few days to travel from Pagisto Plateau to Padesto City by taking Magic Airship.

When the team was traveling through the Southern Foothills Mountains, Kaka and Little Eugene, who had received the news in advance, rode griffins and found Roy's team. Then they heard Roy talk about Empress Ivini Islands's naval battle, and immediately regretted not being able to go there in person.

The gryphon flapped its wings violently and flew up to the clouds with Kaka and Roy, because Roy wanted to know Wind Stream Layer in the sky.

When the griffon broke through the clouds, Roy felt that the whole world had become much brighter.

The clouds below were like a large soft cotton field, flying above the clouds. Although the cold wind blowing in the face quickly turned Roy's nose red with cold, the beautiful scenery with a wide field of vision also made Roy deeply understand how vast Pattington Plane is.

"Roy, can you have a good rest when you come back this time?"

Kaka turned his head slightly, allowing Roy to easily hear his question.

It's really cold at high altitudes, and the view is wide and you can see far away.

Some big birds can also line up and fly in the wind in Wind Stream Layer...

"Let me deal with Plateau City's affairs first, and then we will discuss Sun Island Bay's affairs. Kaka, how many Half-Elf are currently settled over Sun Island Bay?" Roy asked curiously.

Kaka calculated it and said, "If we count all the Half-Elfs over there, there are probably more than 20,000 Half-Elfs!"

Hearing Kaka say this, Roy was really shocked. You must know that there are only tens of thousands of Half-Elf in the entire Pagisto Plateau.

Many elves like to live a hermit life without being disturbed...

There are so many Half-Elf living in Sun Island Bay, but they still can't deal with the group of murlocs in the bay. Roy finds it somewhat incredible.

Guard Regiment Southern Foothills Mountains who climbed over Pagisto Plateau, this kind of journey is actually a bit boring. In addition to looking for a suitable campsite every day, we are constantly rushing forward. Especially traveling on a mountain road with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other is a challenge for every Half-Elf Warrior.

Along the way, Roy would sometimes fly into the sky with Kaka, overlooking the terrain of the surrounding mountains from a high altitude, and sometimes flip through the charts left by Abbott. During that experience at Empress Ivini Islands, Roy discovered one thing, that is, the set of charts left by Abbott were very accurate and detailed.

Until mid-September, Half-Elf Guard Regiment finally arrived at the south of Pagisto Plateau.

This is the main residential area of the plateau Half-Elf. Originally, there were some elven villages built in several valleys in this area.

Now those villages have almost been destroyed by the headhunters, leaving only some ruins piled up with broken bricks and rubble.

Half-Elf haven't come back to clean up these ruins for so long. It seems that Half-Elf don't want to come back and settle down...

Southern Plateau has a large grassland, and Guard Regiment walks through this grassland. The road is not difficult to walk.

Arriving at the first Spinel Mine, Roy saw that the gem mining work in the mine was in order. Some Half-Elf also became miners in the mine, taking the elevator to transport the Gemstone Mine underground to the surface.

When Half-Elf saw Roy appearing in the mine, they quickly gathered around and greeted Roy one after another.

Now the manager of the Gemstone Mine field is Walker. Like Mulin, he comes from the Half-Elf gathering place on the plateau and seems to be very motivated.

The mine passage of First Mine is also being upgraded. It is estimated that a two-car water-gravity lift will be built in accordance with the Second Mine lift design standards.

Then Roy went to check the Gemstone Mine warehouse, and he accumulated a large amount of Gemstone Mine in the past six months.

From the current point of view, the output of Gemstone Mine is still much higher than that of the Sudaso Mountain Range and the two Mithril Mine...

Walker reported to Roy that in the past six months, two more Dark Moon Elf Prisonerss below the mine had met the conditions for release after serving their sentences. Roy did not hesitate and signed on the spot. We agreed to give these two Dark Moon Elf Prisoners their freedom so that they could live again in Pattington Plane. Since Teleportation Portal is still under military control, they cannot leave Pattington Plane yet.

The two Dark Moon Elf Prisoners may have been in the mine for a long time, but they suddenly regained their freedom, and their eyes were full of confusion.

Roy stood over the two Dark Moon Elf who were carrying travel backpacks. According to the system of First Mine, any elf who regains freedom will be able to get a travel backpack, which contains not only Elf Biscuit for half a month, but also a map about Pagisto Plateau, as well as some necessary travel items such as water bags.

Standing in front of two Dark Moon Elf, Roy said to the two elves:

"This is a turning point in your life to regain freedom, and it is also your new life. You can choose to stay in the mine to adapt for a period of time, or you can leave the mine directly to see the outside world, but I don't want you to continue on the old path. After all, you still have a long way to go in the rest of your life. I hope you can enjoy your life and cherish your current life."

The two Dark Moon Elf looked at each other and said to Roy, "Boss Roy, we want to go see Rampart Town..."

"Of course, there is a road marked on the map. You just need to follow this road to get out of Pagisto Plateau. However, the road is very far and Mountain Road is also difficult to walk. You must be mentally prepared." Roy warned.

Not long after, the two Dark Moon Elfs were carrying their bags and a simple map, heading towards the Southern Plateau mountains...

A week later, Roy arrived at Mithril Mine north of the Sudaso Mountain Range with Half-Elf Guard Regiment.

Qian Ning held a party in this mining castle, officially welcoming Roy, and the news of Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle's victory spread quickly...

Facing the enthusiastic Qian Ning, Roy was somewhat embarrassed.

Early the next morning, I took Half-Elf Guard Regiment to Plateau City on Pagisto Plateau.

Walking on the grassland on the edge of the wilderness, you can see the winding Tollai River flowing from the Gaxi Mountain Range all the way to the depths of the wilderness. On a river bend in the Tollai River, the outline of a stone city stands on the mound. It is even said that this stone city has completely covered the mound.

The tall City Wall makes this Plateau City look very huge.

The stone buildings gradually appearing on the mounds make the city look well planned...

Although there are no Tree of Life that the elves need in the city, the Half-Elfs have also planted many trees on the streets of the city, and every Cross Street Intersection can see a small fountain, and even some extremely simple sculptures.

Many areas in the city have been temporarily planned as gardens, and these areas are paved with flat stone slabs.

Elves like a comfortable living environment. Although half of this Plateau City is designed for Highland Slavers, these streets and buildings still have a sense of beauty. Every time you go to a square, you will see tall stone arches covered with reliefs in advance. Most buildings have long steps outside. Some complex corridors in the garden have some green-purple bushes planted on both sides...

It has to be said that the aesthetics of Half-Elf people are also very online. Almost all the buildings here have complicated appearances and are full of artistic atmosphere and beautiful carvings.

Roy learned from Qian Ning last night that Half-Elf Rebel Army, under the leadership of Commander Helik, had conquered Gazan Ancestral Land. Now those Half-Elf Warrior not only occupied that Hot Spring Valley, but also captured nearly 20,000 headhunters.

However, the supplies Commander Helik currently possesses can barely fill Half-Elf Rebel Army's stomach. For these 20,000 headhunter captives who are difficult to feed, Commander Helik is ready to exile them to Land of Ice Peaks outside the Northern Plateau mountains.

If Roy needs these headhunter prisoners of war, Commander Helik can also escort them to Plateau City here...

Mulin stood on the platform at the door of Plateau City's Government Affairs Hall. She was wearing a silver full composite armor, holding her helmet in her arms. The cloak behind her was blown back by the north wind in the wilderness, and the broken hair on her head was very messy.

Seeing Roy leading a group of Half-Elf Warrior up the stairs, a faint smile appeared on Mulin's face covered with light freckles.

"Boss Roy, welcome back to Plateau City!"

Mulin shouted loudly towards Roy.

Roy strode forward and came to Mulin. This is the platform at the entrance of the Government Affairs Hall. It is located at the highest point of the mound. From here, you can overlook the entire Plateau City...

It only took more than half a year for this city to take shape.

"Well done! Mulin." Roy praised Mulin.

"When I heard the news about Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle's victory, I guessed that you would be back soon. Sure enough, I just waited for a month and saw you Boss..."

"How's it going? Have you encountered any trouble here?" Roy asked Mulin.

"It's easy to talk about things in the city. We can coordinate them anyway, but Commander Helik is waiting for your decision. How many Headhunter prisoners of war are you prepared to accept this time?" When Mulin said these words, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the square below the steps.

A group of Gray Dwarf prisoners of war were huddled in the shade of the square, lining up to drink water at the fountain.

It will be very troublesome to deal with so many Gray Dwarf prisoners of war. Therefore, Mulin does not think that Roy will take in those Highland Slavers prisoners of war...

"Reply to Commander Helik and tell me that I can accept all Highland Slavers prisoners of war!"

Roy decided without any hesitation.

Mulin was slightly in a daze...

"This city will continue to be built, and it is estimated that it will need a lot of labor. Let's choose from those Highland Slavers prisoners of war!"

Speaking Roy paused again.

"The remaining Highland Slavers prisoners of war will be arranged in batches to mine in the mines of the mine. The same goes for these Gray Dwarf prisoners of war, who will also be arranged to work in the mines!"

After saying Roy, he walked into the magnificent Government Affairs Hall...

The original planning drawing of this city was designed by Roy, but that drawing was only a preliminary plan. It only marked the construction of a certain building at a certain place, but the appearance of the building was not specified in detail by Roy, so Mulin built this Government Affairs Hall like a temple. The fifty-six Roman columns nearly forty meters high almost surrounded the entire building. There was also an elf sculpture nearly ten meters high on the roof of the Government Affairs Hall.

Roy walked into the hall step by step, and it was unusually empty inside...
