Byron.Toll left Sun Island Bay with a chest full of Magic Crystal Stone, saying he would head east along the northern part of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range to see the Blackwater Swamp, which was rich in Magic Herbs, and if possible, he would also like to get a few Dragonfly Stings.

The headless corpse of Lord Commander Latimore hung on a wooden pole erected from a log, like a flag, announcing that the entire Sun Island Bay had a new master.

Only a few high-ranking members, including Roy, knew that this was not the real body of Lord Commander Latimore; his body had long been buried beneath the ruins of Sun Island.

However, the Half-Elf dwelling in Sun Island Bay didn't care; they hoped that the corpse of Lord Commander Latimore would have some deterrent effect on the Sun Island fishmen.

In fact, ever since the moment Lord Commander Latimore defeated, the fish-men throughout the bay began a mass exodus.

Along with the Sun Island fishmen, the Griffon Cavalry Regiment and the Assassin Squad also evacuated.

On the very day that Lord Commander Latimore died, Roy immediately dispatched these two forces to the Pagisto Plateau. The six hundred Griffon Cavalry were just enough to take away an equal number of Dark Moon Elf Warrior.

They needed to rush back to the Second Mine in the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, where they would make a brief rest before flying directly to the Plateau City.

Mulin will be assigning them small-team clearing and exploration missions in the Plateau City.

Although the Half-Elf Rebel Army have destroyed the headhunters' stronghold on the Pagisto Plateau, peace has not been completely restored on the Pagisto Plateau. In some areas, small groups of headhunters are still wreaking havoc on the plateau.

These small groups of headhunters require the elite tribes of the Mine Guard Regiment to wipe them out.

The combination of the Griffon Cavalry Regiment and the Assassin Squad will greatly enhance both their mobility and combat capabilities.

Faced with the combined forces of the Griffon Cavalry and the assassins, the headhunter squads lurking throughout the plateau were virtually powerless to retaliate.

In addition, Commander Tiprado led one hundred Griffon Cavalry to remain in Sun Island Bay.

The next task is to clear the battlefield and explore Sun Island.

The arched seawall built by the Half-Elf on the North Coast was not destroyed by the tide, but the log-built port and dock were once again washed away by the tide.

Moira squatted on the beach and dug a hole in the sand. She pursed her lips and mumbled words to comfort the dead, burying the head of Lord Commander Latimore in the sand.

There were many Half-Elf Warrior standing around...

Even though Moira buried the head of Lord Commander Latimore with her own hands, no one wanted to believe that it was this petite and sweet elf girl who had cut off the head of that Sea Beast Priest with a single sword stroke.

You should know that he was a Sea Beast Priest...

Roy, Miss Tiffany, Woods, Sabrina, and others stood on the ruined port dock, facing the damp and cold sea breeze, discussing the reconstruction of the dock.

Roy frowned and said, "This time I plan to build the dock here in stone."

The dock, built of logs, was repeatedly destroyed by the great tides summoned by the Toadfish Cavalry.

Roy thought it would be good to build a sturdy port here now, since the Half-Elf here would also need to fish in the bay by boat in the future. In addition, if the waterway between Sun Island Bay and Padesto City were to open, the Magic Airship would also need berths.

Without a dock, these two Magic Airship cannot land.

Because this area is Sun Island Bay, and these Magic Airship Magic Airship converted from Three-Masted Sailboat without side or Bottom Cabin, the advantage of this is that they can land in the sea.

Therefore, Sun Island Bay does not need to build Air Port Dock, but it must have a good harbor.

"Boss Roy, this dock can be built by the Half-Elf residents here. I will be responsible for communicating with them. Your clearing out of the merfolk in Sun Island Bay has been a great help to us. On behalf of all the Half-Elf living in Sun Island Bay, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."

"This is what the Commander Tiprado, said earnestly from the side."

If Roy hadn't led his army to arrive, it probably wouldn't have been long before the Sun Island fishmen drove the Half-Elf living in the jungles of the North Coast to the easternmost point of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, completely dominating the entire Sun Island Bay.

Roy looked at the vast ocean before him and smiled as he said to Commander Tiprado:

"This is something all the Half-Elf in the Pattington Plane should do. With the fishery resources of this Sun Island Bay, life will be easier in the future."

"Yes! The reason we moved here in the first place was because we liked this natural Fishing Ground."

"I'm quite moved," said Commander Tiprado.

Two Magic Airship floated on the distant sea, and two squads of Griffon Cavalry were transporting supplies from the airships to the beach.

These two Magic Airship will head to the Plateau City tomorrow. Before that, almost all the supplies on board will have to be left here, as resources are relatively scarce in Sun Island Bay.

Therefore, all the supplies stored on the ship will be left behind...

In the coming months, the Half-Elf living on Sun Island Bay will gradually relocate to the vicinity of the pier, where they will work together to build a harbor.

Currently, on the Pattington Plane, the areas under Roy's jurisdiction include the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, the Pagisto Plateau, the Hilly Mountain Area, and Sun Island Bay.

If all these areas were shown on a map, they would be almost five times the size of the jungle area surrounding Padesto.

Roy has already built two Air Port Dock in Plateau City and Padesto City, and the port of Sun Island Bay is also officially on the agenda. Once the Magic Airship are officially operational, these areas will be closely connected.

The two Magic Airship stayed on Sun Island for only three days before carrying Roy and his group to the Plateau City of the Pagisto Plateau.

On the deck, Moira, wrapped in a thick cotton cloak, leaned against the railing at the bow, looking down at the crisscrossing mountains of the Southern Plateau.

After the Magic Airship entered the plateau, the cloud cover became less dense, allowing for a panoramic view of the vast southern landscape of the Magic Airship Pagisto Plateau...

However, the Magic Airship was located in the high-altitude Wind Stream Layer, and with the help of the Magic Airship, it was flying at full speed towards the Plateau City.

Since killing Lord Commander Latimore, Moira has been unusually quiet these past few days.

Roy walked up behind Moira and said with a worried expression:

"I'm sorry, since you arrived in Pattington from Castleton City, aside from fighting the Sun Island merfolk, you've spent almost all your time on the Magic Airship, and haven't had a chance to show you around..."

"Wow, we've traveled so far these past few days, we've seen all the sights here, haven't we?"

Moira smiled, her voice soft and sweet, and pursed her lips.

"If that's how you put it, then there's nothing wrong with it."

Roy chuckled and leaned over to drape the hood of the cotton cloak over Moira's head, her little face turning red from the cold wind.

"I had no idea our Moira had become so powerful. If this achievement could be recorded in your adventurer's journal, your ranking in the Castleton City Adventure Guild would probably jump to the top," Roy teased in a low voice.

Moira seemed a little cold; she huddled closer to Roy in the cold wind.

"No way! Don't talk nonsense. I didn't kill Lord Commander Latimore. I just happened to be spared his life," Moira replied softly, squinting her eyes.

Roy was relieved to find that her mood was not affected by the death of Lord Commander Latimore.

In the valleys of the southern Pagisto Plateau, large numbers of migrating argali sheep graze on the hillsides.

Recently, many argali sheep living in the Northern Plateau have migrated to the Southern Plateau, putting a great burden on the vegetation in the valley. I heard that Mulin has recently cut off the migration route in Icefall Canyon.

Moira's soft hair swept across Roy's face in the cold wind, and Roy caught a faint scent of jasmine.

He naturally reached out his hands and embraced Moira from behind.

Moira shifted slightly, and a moment later even her translucent pointed ears turned a shade of pink...

She let out two soft moans of pleasure, her eyes narrowing like a little fox.

There were almost no other Half-Elf on the deck at the bow of the ship. Moira, with a smile on her lips, quietly enjoyed the moment.

On the bronze Argali Ram Horn nearby, a Night Blade Leopard also squinted, staring at everything before it with a puzzled expression...

At the start of the new year, the Teleportation Portal Padesto City was officially unlocked.

A large number of elves have gathered in the Padesto City, and many Elf Merchants have entered the Pattington Plane through the Teleportation Portal. The price of treehouses in Padesto City has doubled in just one week.

The treehouses that were originally empty are now almost all crowded with elves from outside the village. Many Elf Merchants buy a treehouse as soon as they arrive in Padesto.

This quickly led to a housing shortage in Padesto City, even though just a month earlier, one-fifth of the city's rooms were still vacant.

Meanwhile, some Half-Elf who had been staying in the Pattington Plane for a long time also began to leave the Padesto City...

Because Pattington Plane is a plane rich in Magic Herbs, it has attracted a large number of herb merchants.

Dozens of Magic Herbs shops have sprung up like mushrooms after rain on several main commercial streets in Padesto City.

The economy of Padesto City has seen explosive growth. In order to make up for the losses in the Magic Herbs trade, the Silver Pegasus Legion posted a tax notice on both sides of the Teleportation Portal a week in advance, requiring all goods entering and leaving the Pattington Plane to pay Commodity Tax.

For this reason, the Silver Pegasus Legion even placed several tax collectors at the Teleportation Portal, and long queues formed in the Central Square where the Teleportation Portal was located.

A group of Half-Elf guards patrolled the streets, dressed in silver armor and riding white warhorses, moving slowly along the bustling avenue. Their presence alone gave the merchants a great sense of security.

In the trading market of Padesto City, Silvermoon Elf Merchants have no special privileges; all Elf Merchants must compete fairly.

Since the Teleportation Portal to the Pattington Plane had just been unlocked, many Half-Elf gathered in the city, making Padesto City a chaotic place and creating many new sources of unrest.

Previously, theft, brawls, and robberies were almost nonexistent in the city, but after the Teleportation Portal was unlocked, these incidents began to occur frequently.

In the past few days, Commander Berkeley has practically lived at the headquarters of the Security Guard Regiment. After the Half-Elf guards captured some elves who were disturbing the peace and severely punished them, the city's security improved significantly...

In this regard, the Silver Pegasus Military Department granted Commander Berkeley of the city Guard Regiment, considerable authority.

Besides herbalists, many other merchants also came, all looking for various business opportunities in the Padesto City.

During this time, these merchants not only found out that Boss Roy was currently the largest Elementary Magic Herbs merchant in the Pattington Plane, but also that if they wanted to buy Metal Ingots in the plane, they had to go to Boss Roy.

The fact that Boss Roy had not yet appeared in Padesto City made many merchants even more curious about Boss Roy.

Subsequently, Boss Roy's official identities were revealed one after another, such as the mayor of Rampart Town, the governor of the Pagisto Plateau, the Mine Owners of all the mines in the Pagisto Plateau, and even control of a large number of undeveloped mines...

Roy came into the sight of many businessmen.

Meanwhile, the three investigators in the Investigation Team finally returned to Padesto City with a small caravan, but their journey home was not so smooth.

They were ambushed by a small group of headhunters in the Kaltim Mountain Range, resulting in the loss of all their belongings.

In addition, the three investigators encountered many cold shoulders from Half-Elf merchants along the way.

They returned to the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padesto City in utter disarray, where three investigators, dressed in rags, waited in the lobby on the first floor, incessantly complaining to the receptionist about the appalling conditions on the Pagisto Plateau.

The receptionist listened patiently to the investigator's accusations, a faint smile on her face.

At this moment, the hall door was pushed open by a young Half-Elf, and Roy stepped to the front desk. Every time he arrived in Padesto City, Roy would come to the military headquarters to sign in.

He came to the Silver Pegasus Military Department not only to sign in, but also to apply for a new route for the Silver Pegasus Military Department Magic Airship.

The receptionist and Roy were already somewhat familiar with each other. As long as they saw his somewhat distinctive face, they would sign him in without him even having to show his name tag...

"Governor Roy, what brings you to Padesto City again?"

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist greeted Roy familiarly.

Roy stood in the lobby, looking travel-worn, and smiled gently at the receptionist, "Of course, I have something to take care of..."

His return to Padesto City this time is not only to add a large area to the control map of the Pattington Plane, but also to apply for aviation permission from the military.

Roy plans to bring the two Air Port Dock in Padesto City and Plateau City, as well as the two Magic Airship, under a single management department.

In addition, they gave this management department a name that was very difficult for the elves to pronounce – Northern Airlines.
