Strong Reinforcements

"Dark Land is far wider than we imagined. In that land full of deathly silence, our Expeditionary Force lacks material supplies. The main reason is that a large number of material supply convoys entered Dark Land., it is easy to get lost and cannot find the leading troops of Expeditionary Force. Although Expeditionary Force has set up at least hundreds of temporary camps along the way, the supply troops still cannot avoid getting lost in Dark Land..."

Byron.Toll picked up the wine glass and took another sip Orange Wine.

He looked a little down.

"Although there are specialized search and rescue teams that have been searching for the whereabouts of lost supplies, as long as they are lost... they are basically impossible to find."

Byron.Toll recalls the battlefield of Dark Land.

"In Dark Land, we are invaders. There are strong Dark Creatures over there, and some are weak. Some will attack us from the front. The most common ones are some Dark Creatures called Fear Evil Spirit. Some often launch sneak attacks on us, like Shadow Demon and Death Scythe Hand..."

Although Roy has never seen Shadow Demon, listening to Byron.Toll's description, I feel like ghosts are appearing behind me.

"Over there, every battle is like the last battle. I can never figure out where the danger comes from. In that oppressive environment, every soldier is like a tightened hunting bow. No one knows when the bow string will break, and then the whole person will completely collapse and go crazy."

When he said this, Byron.Toll's pupils shrank, his expression was a little painful, and some sweat broke out on his forehead.

He drank all the Orange Wine in the cup.

"We met High Priest Reed at Camp Ninety-Eight in Dark Land, which is the forefront of the Expeditionary Force front and belongs to the eastern theater."

As he spoke, Byron.Toll dipped a little Orange Wine on his fingertips and drew a simple map on the table.

This simple map has two outlines, just listen to what he said:

"After Expeditionary Force entered Dark Land, it achieved brilliant results at first. However, as the battlefield slowly spread, a large number of Priest penetrated into the depths of Dark Land, and the battlefield gradually became larger. The troops invested by the first batch of Expeditionary Force seemed stretched, so the first batch of Expeditionary Force The battle situation was slowly stabilized on the battlefield until the second batch of Expeditionary Force arrived, but what followed was the second expansion of the battlefield. By the time the third batch of Expeditionary Force entered Dark Land, Dark Creatures in Dark Land had already assembled a large number of troops and began to raid the Expeditionary Force camp..."

Byron.Toll squinted his eyes and said, "High Priest Reed followed the third batch of Expeditionary Force into Dark Land. The first thing I wanted to see was him. He was also holding a Wisdom Holy Grail with a sacred flame in his hand."

At this moment, Byron.Toll seemed to have fallen into deep memories, and his face was full of bitterness.

"At that time, Camp Ninety-Eight had just ended a big battle. Two of my Mercenary Group team members died in that battle, and almost all the team members were injured. When we returned to the camp, High Priest Reed was treating other injuries. It was obvious that he was very tired. When he saw us returning to the camp, he took out a bottle of Mana Potion from his pocket. After drinking it, he hung Wisdom Holy Grail on the tent door and used Holy Light Art to treat our injuries."

After a pause, Byron.Toll lowered his head and said:

"Dark Creatures attacked the camp again that night. Our tent happened to be right next to High Priest Reed's tent. High Priest Reed held up Wisdom Holy Grail and used holy light to shine out Dark Creatures who emerged from the darkness..."

"Wisdom Holy Grail's light reflected his unusually thin face, and his face was as pale as paper. After a night of fighting, I felt that High Priest Reed had aged at least ten years."

Roy knows that some magical spells are cast when Holy Power is exhausted, in order to absorb Priest's vitality.

When Priest Anderson was forced to advance, he died due to exhaustion of vitality.

"Has this battle been won?" Roy asked.

Byron.Toll shook his head and said in a low voice:

"We held out until daybreak and then withdrew to Camp Ninety-Seven. Four members of my Mercenary Group stayed on the battlefield of Camp Ninety-Eight forever. Several other members dismantled the tent and built a stretcher to carry me back from the battlefield. I will never forget the way those few members looked at me temporarily and kept repeating: 'Captain, take everyone home, we should go home...'"

"The third Expeditionary Force entered Dark Land. The top leadership of the legion still sent the most elite Priest deep into Dark Land. Many mercenaries are not optimistic about this holy war."

"High Priest Reed was retreating with us from Camp Ninety-Eight and was treating injured soldiers along the way. Although the situation was very bad at the time, he continued to comfort every soldier around him and encouraged everyone to hold on and their injuries would slowly get better."

"Later, we retreated to Camp Ninety-Seven. Because I was too injured, I followed the logistics supply team back to Gorfito. Soon after, our Mercenary Group was disbanded at Gorfito."

Byron.Toll Having said this, he untied the silk scarf tied at his collar. A claw mark extended from his left neck to the right side of his chest. Although it had become scarred, the pink scar still looked a bit shocking.

Roy can clearly feel a hint of darkness in the wound.

He stretched out his right index finger, and a ball of Divine Light Flame appeared on the fingertip. When Divine Light Flame came close to the scar on Byron.Toll's chest, the dark aura disappeared immediately.

Roy I didn't expect to be able to dispel the dark atmosphere so easily...

But when he took back the Divine Light Flame on his fingertips, the dark aura of meaning came out again.

Roy was a little surprised. He quickly drew the divine pattern and recited the prayer quickly.

Although Roy's voice was not too loud, the prayer still attracted a lot of attention in the tavern. In full view, a sacred beam of light fell from the roof, covering Byron.Toll in it.

'Purification Art'

In the holy light, traces of darkness continued to dissipate.

Roy can feel that although the dark aura has become very weak, the last trace of dark aura cannot be dispelled...

Roy tried to use Holy Light Art on Byron.Toll, but it still failed to dispel the last bit of dark aura.

"I can only temporarily suppress this dark aura, but I can't completely purify it." Roy said to Byron.Toll.

He was a little worried about High Priest Reed's safety, because of the situation Byron.Toll dictated, Expeditionary Force's situation in Dark Land seemed to be very bad...

But he can't help now, so he can only pray silently here: High Priest Reed can everything go well in Dark Land! "Thank you for the news you brought back!"

Roy felt a little heavy. He thanked Byron.Toll and prepared to leave the tavern...

In the evening there is a Supply Ship going to Pattington Island, and Roy is going to take that ship.

At this time, you can still go shopping in the Lower District market and buy whatever you want.

Byron.Toll waved his hand and said casually:

"Some things feel much better once they are spoken out, but for me, there are very few friends who can act as listeners."

"I remember you came to the tavern to look for me yesterday. Why... have you encountered any trouble recently?"

Byron.Toll asked proactively.

Roy said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just... I met a Sea Beast Priest in Pattington Plane's Sun Island Bay, and we want to occupy If Sun Island is the case, we must find a way to get rid of that Sea Beast Priest. I originally applied for assistance from the top brass of the military department, but there was no response from the military department, so I planned to issue a bounty mission to Castleton Mercenary Guild."

Byron.Toll stared at Roy:

"The island occupied by Sea Beast Priest... you are not planning to abandon that island?"

"Yeah." Roy nodded. He really didn't want to give up Sun Island Bay's piece of Fishing Ground easily.

Byron.Toll stared at Roy and said:

"Once you choose to be an enemy of Sea Beast Priest, even if you defeat this Sea Beast Priest, there will be a second and third Sea Beast Priest that come out of the deep sea one after another and seek revenge on you. Aren't you afraid that you have to be an enemy of the strong Second Rank who came out of the deep sea so early?"

Roy spread his hands and said very casually, "There's no use in being afraid. If someone punches me, I can just give it back."

"That's right!"

Byron.Toll Unexpectedly, Roy looked soft and weak, but the words he spoke seemed very tough.

"High Priest Reed helped me once, but I couldn't return the favor at Dark Land, so... it doesn't matter if I help you once."

"I'll go to Pattington Plane with you and see if I can deal with that Sea Beast Priest!"

"I can only try. Once I can't beat him, I will turn around and leave without any hesitation."

Byron.Toll Finally, I would like to emphasize again.

"I know."

Roy agreed quickly.

In the evening, Klayr ran to Castleton Harbour to see Roy off, only to find that Roy had actually convinced Byron.Toll and asked him to go to Pattington Plane with him.

"It's really you who actually convinced Byron.Toll!"

"Roy, I may not be able to go to Pattington Plane with you this time. At the end of the year, I will have a concert at Buenos. This is important to me and I cannot miss it." Klayr said apologetically.

"What's the matter! You practice piano well at Castleton, and help me take care of Alchemy Workshop, and Woods... I think it's best for you to stay at Alchemy Workshop." Roy put his arm around the shoulders of Klayr and Woods, and the three of them crowded together.

Supply Ship All supplies over there have been shipped.

The crew members stood on the side of the ship, preparing to wait for Roy to board the ship before withdrawing to the sampan...

"This time I will go to Sun Island Bay no matter what." Woods rejected Roy's proposal and insisted on following everyone to Sun Island Bay in Pattington Plane.

Sabrina and Moira have boarded the ship and are now standing on Lookout Platform on top of Ship Building, looking at the beautiful sea view against the setting sun.

Byron.Toll is also wearing a set of Magic Inscription Construct, carrying a long bow wrapped in linen, standing on the bow of the ship.

He is a strong Second Rank who is good at archery. According to the information in the Mercenary Guild, his name is Abyss Walker.

It's a pity that Roy is a Priest, and my friends around me are not very good at using bows and arrows. Sabrina is Sword Dancer, Moira is an assassin, and Woods is a druid. None of them have any interest in archery, and none of them need Byron.Toll's teaching. Speaking of which, it is really a waste in a certain sense.

In the Elven Kingdom, there is no archer in a Adventure Group, so this Adventure Group is definitely incomplete.

Supply Ship came to Pattington Island, Roy took everyone down the pier, and then went to Safe Harbor in Three-Masted Sailboat.

The second Magic Airship is being renovated in full swing here. The Floating Device and Propulsion Device of this Magic Airship have been installed, and the Magic Airship is currently undergoing final installation and commissioning.

Seeing ten Three-Masted Sailboats parked here, all Half-Elfs will respectfully shout 'Boss Roy' when they see Roys.

Only then did Byron.Toll realize that Roy actually had such a ship on Pattington Island's side...

For the next two days, Roy stayed on board Pattington Island, waiting for the completion of the transformation of the second ship Magic Airship.

It has to be said that the old dwarf Maggs was still very powerful under the temptation of fine wine. It took him just over a month to transform the second Three-Masted Sailboat into Magic Airship.

During the two days that Roy stayed at Pattington Island, the Green Imperial Merchant Federation sent one hundred Floating Device and eighteen Propulsion Device to Pattington Island.

The next step is to watch the old dwarf Maggs start working day and night to transform these Magic Airship one after another.

As the test flight of the second Magic Airship ended, Roy took a team of Half-Elf crew members who had learned to drive Magic Airship to board the ship, and entered Pattington Plane from Pattington Island Teleportation Portal.

This time the dwarf apprentice did not set off with the ship, and the entire Magic Airship was full of Half-Elf.

In recent days, Teleportation Portal at Pattington Island seems to be a bit crowded, and a large amount of supplies have even been hoarded in the square. Many Elf Merchantss have heard that Pattington Plane is about to be lifted, so they bring a large amount of supplies and wait at Pattington Town.

The second Magic Airship entered Pattington Plane, once again causing a sensation in Padesto City.

This time Magic Airship taxied out of Teleportation Portal and immediately flew to Air Port Dock in Padesto City.

Under the supervision of Commander Berkeley, Air Port Dock here at Padesto City has been built, but currently Air Port Dock only has one berth.

Magic Airship successfully docked at the port and was suspended in mid-air, which was very visually impactful.

Magic Airship will stay in Padesto City for nearly a day, and he will need to load a large amount of food and living supplies here, and then transport them to Plateau City in Pagisto Plateau.

Padesto City has become very lively recently. The news of the lifting of the ban must have spread. Many closed shops on the street are preparing to reopen, and even posted a leasing information.
