High Command Meeting of the 517th Legion

Roy never expected that the Pattington Teleportation Portal, which had been sealed for six years, would be unsealed at this time.

In order to better manage the Half-Elf on the Pattington Plane, the Silver Pegasus Legion sealed off the Teleportation Portal connecting the Pattington Plane to the Elf Continent...

In recent years, the economy of Pattington Plane has been declining, but the Silver Pegasus Legion has not unlocked the Teleportation Portal.

Now, the market for Magic Herbs on the Elf Continent is booming, with the Silver Pegasus Legion controlling the mid-to-high-level Magic Herbs across the entire plane.

If it weren't for the consistently profitable Magic Herbs business in the Pattington Plane, the Silver Pegasus Legion would likely be facing a financial crisis after the naval battle at Empress Ivini Islands.

Unlocking the Teleportation Portal at this point would be tantamount to voluntarily sharing the huge pie of the Pattington Plane with others...

Roy estimated that his Elementary Magic Herbs business would also be affected to some extent. "Is it finally going to be unbanned?"

The Logistics Regiment nodded and said:

"It's all because of the Magic Herbs. Many nobles have heard that the Pattington Plane is rich in Magic Herbs, so they have been demanding that the Legion's high command open the plane. The day before yesterday, the ruling from the Buenos Silver Moon Elven Council of Elders was delivered, ordering the Legion to open the Plane Teleportation Portal before the end of the year, so you should be prepared."

The Logistics Regiment told Roy this news, naturally hoping that Roy could control the trade of Magic Herbs on the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy nodded.

Once the Plane Teleportation Portal is unlocked, some merchant guilds will definitely enter Padesto City to compete for the Magic Herbs business...

As the governor of the Pagisto Plateau, Roy's control over the plateau was beyond question.

As long as Roy provides even a little support to the Legion Merchant Guild, the mid-to-high-level Magic Herbs from the plateau will surely flow into the hands of the Silver Pegasus Legion Merchant Guild.

In fact, Roy was quite excited when he heard that the Plane Teleportation Portal had been unsealed.

While some of the Magic Herbs pie is destined to be shared, it also means that the Half-Elf of the Elf Continent will be able to freely enter the Pattington Plane...

This is a good thing.

Roy traveled through the Teleportation Portal overnight and took a boat back to Castleton City from Pattington Island docks.

He discovered that Castleton City and Padesto City were not actually that far apart. If the Teleportation Portal went smoothly, he would only need to sleep one night on a Silver Pegasus Legion Supply Ship.

The Supply Ship will arrive in Castleton City at daybreak.

Roy returned to Castleton City this time to hire a Second Rank powerhouse from the Castleton City Mercenary Guild to deal with the Sea Beast Priest on Sun Island.

In Castleton City, it's rare for Half-Elf living in the Lower District to become Second Rank powerhouse.

Therefore, Roy planned to send Klayr to the Mercenary Guild to hire a Second Rank powerhouse capable of defeating the Sea Beast Priest.

Roy didn't expect that his arrival in Castleton City would coincide with the last day of the semester at the Elf Academy. Starting tomorrow, the students of the Elf Academy would begin a two-month-long vacation.

However, according to past practice, the Elf Academy should be holding End-of-Term Ball tonight.

Roy walked from the dock to the intersection of Brown Street and saw several young Half-Elf students getting off Long Carriage.

They walked and talked about the dance party that evening.

Roy didn't rush to find Klayr.

This is probably when Klayr is busiest.

Klayr would play a few pieces at each End-of-Term Ball, and by then he should be getting ready for the dance, so Roy didn't want to disturb him.

After the rainy season ends in Castleton, the cold winds blowing from the Frozen Sea will cause Castleton's climate to cool rapidly.

A cold sea breeze blew across the sea, and a thin mist rose from the surface.

Standing on the Da Nei River, gazing out at the sea beyond Castleton Harbour Castleton Harbour, Roy suddenly realized that he hadn't paid attention to this stretch of sea in a long time.

Because it was not the rainy season, the water level of the Da Nei River dropped significantly.

A row of Great Sea Ship were still moored at the Deep Water Pier of the port, almost all of which flew the Sword Shield Eagle Lion Banner of the Grimm Empire.

Roy returned home.

The house was very clean, Ms. Belinda still hadn't returned. It must have been Moira and Sabrina who helped with the cleaning.

There was no one in the neighboring yard either; Sabrina and Moira were not home.

Ms. Jillian is not here either; she should be at the Fish Market at this time...

There is a Tree of Life on the main island of Queen Ivini Island, which is one of the reasons why the Silver Moon Elf are determined to occupy this island.

This Tree of Life is located halfway up the island, and its canopy covers one-fifth of Queen Island.

It is this Tree of Life that exudes vitality here, making the three main islands of the Empress Ivini Islands appear lush and green...

Building treehouses on the trunk of the Tree of Life is a tradition that the Silver Moon Elf have always passed down.

The headquarters of the Silver Pegasus Legion is located on this Tree of Life. With the end of the Empress Ivini Islands War, the Legion has been absorbing the benefits of the victory in the past two months.

Inside the highest-level conference room of the Legion headquarters, three high-ranking Legion officers were sitting around a round table, looking at a hand-drawn map.

The map shows the entire Pagisto Plateau, the hills and Hilly Mountain Area to the Southern Plateau, and the valley between the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range and the mountains on the southern slopes of the plateau.

At the end of this valley is the narrow, Thousand Ren Mountain Range, and further south lies the vast Sun Island Bay.

Earl Swynborne stood silently before the round table, his lips pursed, gazing at the vast territory depicted on the map without uttering a word.

To his left is Earl McCauley, the vice commander of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Earl McCauley looked very young, with a clean-shaven face, but his wise eyes made one have to reconsider his age.

The third high-ranking member of the legion was Earl Reginold, who usually wore a priest's robe and was an outer temple elder in the Moon God Temple.

Earl Reginold Earl Reginold rarely participates in the affairs of the legion; he only requests the support of the Priest Corps from the Moon God Temple during times of war.

If behind Earl Swynborne stood the royal family of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom and His Majesty Ansiel, then behind Earl McCauley stood the Elven Nobles.

Behind Earl Reginold is the Moon God Temple...

The three earls were discussing the issue of opening a portal to the Pattington Plane Teleportation Portal, a problem that had been troubling them for a long time, and now they had to make a decision.

"Since we can't withstand the pressure from above, let's just open the Teleportation Portal."

Earl McCauley said, "As long as we control the high-grade Magic Herbs and establish connections with the herbalists here, the market for Magic Herbs will remain in our hands!"

"Once we open the Teleportation Portal, a wave of merchant groups will inevitably flood in. If we want to maintain our competitiveness in the Magic Herbs trade, in addition to winning over those Magic Herbs merchants, we also need to set up an additional threshold: all goods entering and leaving the Teleportation Portal must pay an export Commodity Tax!"

"I'll continue," said Vice Commander McCauley.

He said this so that the Silvermoon Elven Nobles in the legion would be more competitive when doing business selling Magic Herbs in the Pattington Plane ...

Earl Swynborne hesitated for a moment, thinking about His Majesty Ansiel's private letter, before saying, "In recent months, the policy of using half -Half-Elf to govern Half-Elf in the Pattington Plane has been quite effective. Once the Pattington Plane opens its Teleportation Portal, it will not only attract a group of merchant caravans to Pattington, but also Half-Elf from other regions. As long as we can attract those restless Half-Elf from the Elf Continent to the Pattington Plane, we can greatly reduce the conflict between Half-Elf and Silver Moon Elf."

In recent years, the boundary between the Upper District and Lower District of Castleton City has become clearer, and conflicts between Silver Moon Elf and Half-Elf have become more frequent. Many Half-Elf are dissatisfied with the various privileges of the Silver Moon Elf.

This kind of conflict occurs in almost every Elf City.

In an effort to ease tensions between the Silver Moon Elf and the Half-Elf, His Majesty Janis Ansiel devised a plan to lure the more unruly Half-Elf to other planes.

The Pattington Plane is clearly a great place to go...

If it weren't for His Majesty Ansiel's idea, Earl Swynborne believed that the Pattington Plane Teleportation Portal would never have opened at this time.

The three walked around the map, looking at it as they went, occasionally whispering among themselves. Of the three earls, Earl Swynborne and Earl McCauley both approved of the plan, so Earl Reginold said nothing more.

The Teleportation Portal will be opened at the beginning of next month...

After discussing the matter, the Earl Swynborne said:

"Let's move on to the next matter, still Pattington Plane. Currently, Commander Roy is leading the Mine Guard Regiment stationed at Sun Island Bay. Now, another vast area has opened up in the Pattington Plane!"

"In the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, between the western part of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, there is a valley. At the end of the valley is the Thousand Man Mountains, and further south... It is said to be a natural Fishing Ground, which the local Half-Elf call Sun Island Bay."

"There is a Sea Beast Priest on Sun Island. Pattington hopes that we can send a Second Rank expert to deal with that Sea Beast Priest."

Earl Swynborne glanced at Earl McCauley and said to him, "Earl McCauley, this matter is your responsibility. See who happens to be free and go to the Pattington Plane to take care of that Sea Beast Priest while you're at it..."

"Very well, Earl Swynborne! Although I don't quite agree with sending Second Rank powerhouses to the Pattington Plane, I will do as you command!" Earl McCauley said sternly and without ceremony.

Earl Swynborne looked at Earl McCauley, trying to find a reason in him to defy military orders.

Earl McCauley frowned and said:

"In the Pattington Plane, this Commander Roy has risen from an unofficial guide to the governor of the Pagisto Plateau in just two years. Such a terrifying speed of promotion makes me wonder if we can still allow him to continue serving as the administrator of Sun Island Bay if he takes over Sun Island Bay?"

"But once we occupy Sun Island Bay, can we send other administrators to govern Sun Island Bay?"

"Commander Roy is currently under investigation by the Investigation Team, so I hope the fighting on Sun Island Bay should be put on hold."

Earl Swynborne turned his gaze to Earl McCauley and Earl Reginold, and after a moment of silence spoke:

"If you want to go to Sun Island Bay, I can arrange for Roy's Mine Guard Regiment to withdraw back to the Pagisto Plateau..."

"..."

The two earls were immediately rendered speechless by the Earl Swynborne's retort...

Earl McCauley could mobilize some troops, but at this time, no Silver Moon Elf Warband would be willing to go to the Pattington Plane.

Earl Reginold would be even less likely to mobilize his Priest Corps to the planar battlefield, especially since the Pattington Plane is teeming with Half-Elf, making it impossible for the Priest Corps to go there...

The two Earl showed no interest in Sun Island Bay, Earl Swynborne spread his hands and said somewhat helplessly:

"So if no one is willing to conquer Sun Island, let the Highland Mine Guard Regiment take it over."

A meeting can take at least half a day to complete.

As he walked out of the meeting hall, Earl Swynborne heard someone hurrying after him and stopped.

He turned around and saw Earl McCauley.

Earl McCauley, panting, said, "The recent war in the Pattington Plane has spread widely across the Elf Continent. Many Half-Elf are talking privately about Boss Roy rescuing the Half-Elf miners. Once the Teleportation Portal opens, a large number of Half-Elf will flood into the Pattington Plane Pattington Plane, and Roy's influence there will increase further. Although he is currently managing the mines on the Pagisto Plateau for us, once he incorporates Sun Island Bay into his territory, he will control more land in the Pattington Plane than that guy Alvis, and all the mines will be concentrated in his hands. Swynborne, aren't you worried that he will become the second Alvis?"

Earl Swynborne smiled slightly and said, "All the supplies for the Mine Guard Regiment need to be provided by the Silver Pegasus Legion. In addition, this force is destined to be confined to the Pattington Plane. So, as the rising star of the Silver Pegasus Legion, we only need to make him understand these interests, and we can turn him into a sharp sword to manage Pattington well for us."

Earl McCauley, still somewhat uneasy after hearing Earl Swynborne's words, said:

"I just hope it won't cause us any trouble..."

As soon as the two Earl walked out of the meeting hall, several adjutants surrounded them.

There are still many things to deal with after the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle, especially the movements of the Gray Dwarf Bandit, which has been a matter of great concern to the Silver Pegasus Legion.
