Chief of Staff Kampferfred remained silent as he stared at the commendation notice on the table...

Lord Lucius, the newly Logistics General, was dismissed because he had accomplished nothing in the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle.

When the Silver Pegasus Legion first occupied the Pattington Plane, this plane, which was rich in Magic Herbs, did not show great value.

However, when the Imperial Merchant arrived on the West Coast of Elf Continent, the price of Magic Herbs on the Elf Continent continued to rise, and the price of herbs in the Pattington Plane also rose accordingly. Now, it is unknown how many nobles in the Legion have their eyes on the position of Logistics General.

Chieftain Kampferfred stood out from many competitors not only because his family strongly supported Kampferfred, but also because he was a typical moderate on the issue of Half-Elf Kampferfred.

Currently, at least 95% of the inhabitants of the Pattington Plane are Half-Elf.

Although the Silver Pegasus Legion nominally governs the Pattington Plane, due to the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle, the legion transferred all its forces to the Empress Ivini Islands. As a result, currently only a small number of Silver Moon Elf remain in the management of the Pattington Plane, while Half-Elf are gradually becoming the administrators.

Therefore, the Silver Pegasus Legion needs an official with a moderate attitude towards the issue of Half-Elf to govern the Pattington Plane.

This is the main reason why Kampferfred was able to become the Logistics General.

In the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle, Roy's Mine Guard Regiment became the only force to preserve the Pattington Plane.

Although this commendation notice came a little late, it was at least a recognition of the Mine Guard Regiment by the legion.

The only point of contention is that this is a force composed of Half-Elf Warrior.

Some high-ranking members of the Silver Pegasus Legion had serious doubts about this...

In the camp of the Padesto city defense guard

Roy arrived early; Commander Berkeley was conducting martial arts training for a group of Half-Elf guards on the training ground.

Upon seeing Roy arrive at the military camp, Commander Berkeley tossed his whip to the instructor behind him, strode over to Roy, and led him into his office.

"Commander Berkeley, is there something important that you're so eager to see me?"

Roy asked Commander Berkeley, still thinking about how to transport the Elementary Magic Herbs from the warehouse to Pattington Island.

He had already arranged with the carriage company to transport the Elementary Magic Herbs to the Central Square in the morning.

"I have two pieces of news about you, one good and one bad. Which would you like to hear first?" Commander Berkeley leaned against the window and poured Roy a glass of water.

"Let's hear the bad news first!" Roy said.

"The Elven Council of Elders in Buenos City has approved the indictment against you. At least half of the Elven Council of Elders members believe you have neglected your duties in this matter, especially since the other party is a descendant of a Silvermoon Elven Nobles. Therefore, they have requested that you write a detailed report on this matter, and the notice is expected to arrive soon," said Commander Berkeley.

Roy was already mentally prepared for this, so he wasn't surprised to hear what the Commander Berkeley said.

"I estimate that the investigation team has entered the Pattington Plane, and may even need to go to the Nikoba Mountain Range of the Pagisto Plateau to investigate and look for evidence. You need to be more careful recently."

Roy said nonchalantly, "Let them investigate if they want. It's a simple matter. The Mine Owner Abel was unfortunately killed in battle while fleeing to avoid punishment. That's the fact."

"What I'm trying to say... isn't that. I'm saying that when those investigators enter the Pagisto Plateau, you need to make them understand as much as possible how those Mine Owners oppress the elven miners. It would be best to find as much evidence as possible of Mine Owner Abel's crimes. You need to make those investigators believe that Abel is a ruthless Slave Traders on the Pagisto Plateau."

Commander Berkeley leaned closer to Roy and whispered something in his ear.

"I understand, I'll find a way to prove that," Roy said.

The Commander Berkeley asked with a smile, "Would you like to hear some good news?"

"Of course!" Roy said with some anticipation.

"The Silver Pegasus Military Department's commendation for you should have been sent to the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padesto City. I expect to receive the notification soon. It's said that you might even get a promotion this time!" Commander Berkeley said to Roy.

"Commander Berkeley, would you like to know why I came to see you so early?" Roy asked in return.

"What could you possibly want from me... Hey! You're not going to cut in line to enter the Plane Teleportation Portal again, are you? How much cargo do you have this time? If there's too much, I suggest you transport it out through the Teleportation Portal at night so it won't attract too much attention," Commander Berkeley whispered to Roy.

"There's quite a lot of cargo this time, that's why I came over to say hello!" Roy replied.

Roy's trade permit in the Pattington Plane was personally issued by Earl Swynborne. In the Pattington Plane, only the Silver Pegasus military and Roy are authorized to transport supplies from here to the Elf Continent.

Commander Berkeley, naturally, didn't care about Roy's supplies and readily agreed.

When Commander Berkeley arrived at the Teleportation Portal in the Central Square at noon, he saw that in the northwest corner of the square, Roy had piled up a small mountain of Elementary Magic Herbs that he was preparing to transport to the Elf Continent.

Roy was settling his bill with the carriage company at the edge of the square when Commander Berkeley looked at the pile of Elementary Magic Herbs and asked in surprise, "Are all these Elementary Magic Herbs yours?"

Roy nodded and said, "I'm working with a local Magic Herbs merchant, and he gets almost all of these Elementary Magic Herbs from the Blackwater Swamp..."

Without asking any further questions, Commander Berkeley turned around and went to the Teleportation Portal, personally communicating with the Teleportation Portal guard.

Nowadays, these Teleportation Portal guards are almost all Half-Elf Warrior from the city's defense Guard Regiment.

So even if Commander Berkeley doesn't come, there won't be any goods from the Teleportation Portal guardian, Boss Roy.

A large quantity of Elementary Magic Herbs were sent to Pattington Island, Roy then transported these Elementary Magic Herbs to the Silver Pegasus Legion's Supply Ship, which departs tonight and will arrive at Castleton Harbour early tomorrow morning.

Roy did not return to Castleton Port with the ship, but instead wrote a letter to Klayr and Woods, instructing them to pick up the cargo at Castleton Harbour.

Just as Commander Berkeley had predicted, on the third day after Roy arrived in Padesto City, Chief of Staff Kampferfred summoned Roy.

This notice was delivered to Roy by Half-Elf Warrior from the city's defenses.

If the notice had arrived an hour later, Roy might have already left Padesto City with Miss Tiffany.

Having received a summons from Chief of Staff Kampferfred, Roy had no choice but to return to the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padesto City.

As Roy ascended the familiar stairs, he became well-known in the Padesto City. Many officers and logistics personnel in the Silver Pegasus Military Department recognized Roy, and some Silver Moon Elf even approached Roy to greet him.

Roy waited at the door of the Chief of Staff's office, and soon after was summoned by Chief of Staff Kampferfred.

Chief of Staff Kampferfred sat in a chair behind his desk, his hands crossed on the table, carefully examining Roy.

"Roy, commander of the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Regiment, greets the Chief Commander."

Roy stood in front of the desk and saluted the new Logistics General.

"You're Roy? I know you, but I didn't expect you to be so young. How's the situation on the Pagisto Plateau? If you need support from the military in terms of supplies, try to submit some written applications. As long as they comply with the legion's regulations, I can sign them for you."

Chief of Staff Kampferfred spoke slowly and deliberately, observing Roy as he spoke.

"Thank you for your consideration, Chief Commander!"

Roy quickly thanked him.

Chief of Staff Kampferfred then pushed the commendation notice in front of Roy, gesturing for him to pick it up and take a look.

Roy picked up the notification letter and looked at it, only to find that he had inexplicably received a Silver Pegasus Freedom Medal, and he had no idea what use this medal could be.

Then he saw the appointment letter from the Silver Pegasus Military Department, in which Roy was promoted from commander of the Mine Guard Regiment to governor of the Pagisto Plateau...

This was somewhat unexpected for Roy; it seems the Silver Pegasus Legion will not be sending troops to the Pattington Plane anytime soon.

Roy stood before Chief of Staff Kampferfred, pondered for a moment, and decided that he should reveal the information about Sun Island Bay. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Speaking of which, the Mine Guard Regiment does indeed need the Legion's support."

"Currently, the Legion's main forces are concentrated on the Empress Ivini Islands, so I hope the Legion can provide some military supplies, such as Fletched Arrow and Elf Biscuit."

Chief of Staff Kampferfred hadn't expected that Roy would actually climb up the bamboo pole just because Roy was being polite.

Roy quickly produced a map depicting the Pagisto Plateau and the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range.

At the bottom of the map, there is clearly a Sun Island Bay.

Roy pointed to a woodland in Sun Island Bay and introduced it to Chief of Staff Kampferfred: "The Mine Guard Regiment crossed the Hilly Mountain Area and the Thousand Ren Mountain Range and arrived at Sun Island Bay, south of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, a month ago."

"The legion is currently stationed in the jungle on the North Coast the bay, locked in a stalemate with the Fishmen Monster of Sun Island."

"The main reason we came to the North Coast Jungle is to help the Half-Elf residents living here."

"For a long time, they have suffered daily oppression from the Gulf Fishmen. In order to give the Half-Elf residents of this place the North Coast, the Guardian Army has decided to wage war against the Sun Island Bay..."

Roy slowly introduced the current situation of the Mine Guard Army, Mine Guard Army were clearly expanding their territory on the Pattington Plane.

In that case, the Silver Pegasus Legion will have to provide even more support to the Mine Guard Regiment.

Chief Kemp Fred looked at the young Half-Elf who was speaking eloquently, pointing to a hand-drawn map and clearly and concisely explaining his battle plan.

Chief Kemp Fred discovered that this Half-Elf was now displaying astonishing military talent and was extremely aggressive, actively advocating for the expansion into uncharted territories...

At that moment, a theory about the threat of Half-Elf he had seen long ago suddenly came to mind.

Chief Kemp Fred never imagined that the spoils of victory in the Battle of the Ivenis Islands would not satisfy Roy's appetite...

Given his current Guard Regiment, he not only intends to control the Hilly Mountain Area and the Thousand Ren Mountain Range, but also has his sights set on Sun Island Bay.

In October, Roy finally returned to the Mine Guard Regiment camp in Sun Island Bay aboard Kaka's griffin, accompanied by Miss Tiffany and Mrs. Mrs. Winnie's Night Blade Leopard.

In Miss Tiffany's eyes, the Pattington Plane has no ocean.

Kaka carried Roy directly through the Aperture No.3 of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range. As the griffins burst out of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, Miss Tiffany saw Sun Island Bay, surrounded by two narrow landmasses, from on the back of the griffins.

Because they had to cross the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, Kaka's griffins flew very high.

On a clear day, the entire Sun Island Bay appeared perfectly clear in Miss Tiffany's eyes.

It's like a sapphire set in a Green Sea.

"This bay is so beautiful..."

Miss Tiffany, sitting on the griffin's back, couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"But those mermen are also extremely ferocious!"

"It's Little Eugene's griffin carrying Miss Tiffany," he couldn't help but say to Miss Tiffany.

"Those brainless Fishmen Monster won't do anything smart. The real threat to you is actually the sirens standing behind the Fishmen Monster ..." Miss Tiffany said.

As soon as Roy returned to Sun Island Bay, he heard a report from the captains of the Mine Guard Regiment.

Recently, faint siren songs have been heard frequently at night along the North Coast of Sun Island Bay.

The siren's song had already bewitched more than a dozen Half-Elf, who drowsily walked into the sea and drowned.

Lately, the siren's song has been causing widespread panic among the Half-Elf Warrior in the camp...

Despite the strict management of the camp, Half-Elf Warrior continue to fall victim to the virus.

Meanwhile, the Fishmen Monster hiding on Sun Island are stirring again, with large numbers of Fishmen Monster lurking in the Coral Reef reef area, clearly intending to seize control of the North Coast.

Miss Tiffany arrived at the Mine Guard Regiment's camp that very night and went to the beach to investigate where the sirens were hiding and singing...

In fact, these siren's songs have a major flaw that the Half-Elf are unaware of.

That is, the siren's song can only bewitch male elves, and has no effect on female elves.

That's why Miss Tiffany took the Night Blade Leopard to the beach late at night. Roy was a little worried about Miss Tiffany's safety, but unfortunately, the Half-Elf Warrior from the Mine Guard Regiment who came to Sun Island Bay this time were all male...
