Citywide Manhunt
Roy found a hotel near Woods Warehouse to stay in; hotels are now a common sight in Padesto City.
These hotels are treehouses with a dozen or so individual rooms built in a large tree. The rooms only have showers and do not provide hot water.
After taking a nap at the hotel, Roy woke up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. He sat up in bed, casually opened the window, and heard a series of "puff puff puff" sounds as several large gray sparrows flew out from the leaves.
Roy quickly washed his face, put on his thick- Magic Inscription Construct, received a piece of Breadfruit at the small restaurant next to the hotel reception, and left the hotel in a very casual manner.
He arrived at the Padesto Silver Pegasus Military Department in a carriage, where dozens of Half-Elf Warrior were already waiting at the entrance.
Upon seeing Roy, the Half-Elf Warrior immediately gathered around Roy.
Roy had also noticed that there were about a hundred half- Half-Elf Warrior had come to Padesto by boat, but only about thirty of them dared to stand at the entrance of the Silver Pegasus Military Department.
Roy stood on the steps, smiling, and said to everyone, "Is everyone ready? If so, let's go in and talk to Kampferfred!"
"Boss Roy, we're all ready!"
The speaker was a middle-aged Half-Elf named Alonso, who was highly respected among the group of Half-Elf.
Roy led everyone into the Silver Pegasus Military Department Hall in Padesto City, where he saw the Silver Moon Elf receptionist standing at the front desk with a very stiff smile on her face. She even secretly winked at him, as if hinting at something, but dared not be too obvious.
The lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters was deserted, and Roy had a very bad feeling about it...
Actually, he noticed something was off about the atmosphere at the entrance of the Silver Pegasus Military Department. At this time, it was impossible for there not to be a single person in sight at the entrance of the Silver Pegasus Military Department, and there were no Elven Guard in front of the steps.
However, since he had already come all this way, Roy walked in without hesitation. Just as he reached the front desk, a group of Half-Elf Warrior followed him into the hall.
As everyone looked around curiously, a large group of Silver Moon Elf Warrior emerged from behind the railing of the second-floor terrace at the top of the stairs. These Silver Moon Elf Warrior held Elf Longbow and aimed them at the Half-Elf Warrior in the hall.
Seeing that things were not going well, the Half-Elf Warrior near the entrance of the hall immediately tried to escape through the door.
Just then, a group of Silver Moon Elf burst in from outside, completely blocking the entrance.
Several Silver Moon Elf Officer stood on the second-floor terrace, their long golden hair meticulously combed, dressed in impeccable military uniforms, and wearing smug smiles as they gazed at the main hall on the first floor of the military headquarters.
Roy noticed that Captain Ke Leiwen and Commander Brad were also standing among several Silver Moon Elf Officer, who were staring menacingly at the Half-Elf Warrior in the hall.
One of the Silvermoon officers raised his pointed chin and said somewhat arrogantly to the group of Half-Elf Warrior in the hall, "Because you have deserted your units without your superiors' permission, you have violated the Silver Pegasus Legion's regulations. Therefore, I hereby formally announce that you will be sent to Military Tribunal, and you will be imprisoned until you are sentenced."
The Half-Elf Warrior were dumbfounded, and they all looked at Roy with puzzled expressions.
At this point, Roy could only stand at the front...
He looked up at the Silver Moon Elf Officer on the second-floor terrace and asked the Silver Moon Elf receptionist at the front desk, "Has Chief Commander Kampferfred arrived? I would like to see the Chief Commander."
The Silver Moon Elf receptionist bit her lip, her expression hesitant, but her eyes kept glancing towards a corner on the second floor.
Roy turned around, looked up at the second floor of the hall, and loudly asked the Silver Moon Elf Officer and hostages, "I brought them here this time so that we could sit down and talk about what the legion needs these Half-Elf to do after they join the Silver Pegasus Legion. In the infantry Guard Regiment, are they guards or miners?"
Unfortunately, Chief Kemp Fred, did not come out directly.
Among the group of Silver Moon Elf Officer Silver Moon Elf Officer, one stepped forward and looked down at Roy:
"Once they join the Silver Pegasus Guard Regiment, they must obey the Guard Regiment's management system and the orders issued by the Infantry Regiment commander. This is the most basic soldier's conduct that an infantry guard must possess. Unfortunately, these Half-Elf Warrior in the hall do not possess such conduct."
"Commander Roy, this matter has nothing to do with your Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Regiment. Please do not interfere in the internal affairs of other infantry Guard Regiment."
As they spoke, a row of Silver Moon Elf Warrior with shields came over, stripped the weapons and armor off the Half-Elf Warrior surrounding them, and tied them up with ropes. Some of the Half-Elf Warrior tried to resist, but Alonso stopped them in time.
All thirty-one Half-Elf Warrior were captured, and even Roy was surrounded by several Silver Moon Elf Warrior.
"What? Are you planning to tie me up too?" Roy asked the Silver Moon Elf Officer.
"Commander Roy, there are some things that might require your cooperation in the investigation, so please stay here at the military headquarters for the next few days," the Silver Moon Elf Officer explained to Roy. He then instructed the Silver Moon Elf Warrior, "You few, take Commander Roy to the second-floor lounge!"
Several Silver Moon Elf Warrior tried to grab Roy's arm, but Roy dodged to the side.
When the Half-Elf Warrior saw that Roy had also been controlled by the Silver Moon Elf Warrior, they tried to struggle and resist, even though they were bound by ropes.
As they struggled, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior smashed their sword hilts down on the group of Half-Elf Warrior, instantly causing the struggling Half-Elf warriors to bleed profusely from their heads.
Roy didn't say anything; he turned and went up the stairs.
The Silver Moon Elf Officer standing on the terrace immediately raised his arm, signaling the Silver Moon Elf Warrior to stop.
Six Silver Moon Elf Warrior escorted Roy to a small, windowless room on the second floor of the Silver Pegasus Military Department.
There was only a single bed inside the room, and the door was even covered with a thick layer of sheet metal.
Upon entering the hut, Roy keenly sensed an aura of Space Magic emanating from it; this must be a secluded hut specially created by the Silver Moon Elf on the Tree of Life.
Through the only small window in the wooden door, Roy could see two Silver Moon Elven Guard standing outside...
To his surprise, even he himself was placed under house arrest this time. Roy sat on the wooden bed, somewhat furious.
He hoped that Chief of Staff Kampferfred could step in and resolve the matter.
Roy lay on the wooden bed, quietly feeling the Holy Light Tree absorbing the Holy Light Particle from the surrounding space.
The Silvermoon Elven Guard standing watch outside the gate had already changed shifts four times, but Chief Commander Kampferfred, whom he was waiting for, still hadn't appeared.
Chief Commander Kampferfred seemed completely unaware of Roy's imprisonment at the Silver Pegasus Military Department. There was no sound from the corridor outside. When Roy reached the door of the solitary confinement hut, he bumped into a completely transparent magical wall, his body bouncing violently back, and his spirits plummeted to rock bottom...
This was a small, magically enclosed cabin, and Roy discovered he couldn't get out...
The Silver Moon Elf Officer must have had Chief of Staff Kampferfred's permission to imprison themselves.
Chief of Staff Kampferfred refused to show up, and Roy knew that things were developing in the direction he least wanted to see...
Kampferfred wanted to use this time when he couldn't intervene to convict these Half-Elf Warrior of crimes, so that once he walked out of the confinement hut, there would be no way to reverse the situation.
It seems that not only Lord Alvis, but also the other Silver Moon Elf treat Half-Elf with arrogance and disrespect; they despise Half-Elf to the core.
Every so often, the Silvermoon Elven Guard would bring a plate of fruit to the solitary confinement hut, but not a single officer ever came to visit.
There were about a hundred runaway Half-Elf Warrior who arrived in Padesto City with Roy in Magic Airship.
The reason they didn't go to the Silver Pegasus Military Department together that morning was Alonso's idea. Alonso was worried that the Silver Moon Elf Warrior at the Silver Pegasus Military Department would distort the truth and wipe out all of them, the half -Half-Elf Warrior warriors. Perhaps this matter would really end with the Half-Elf Warrior deserting! The remaining eighty-odd Half-Elf Warrior didn't wait idly at their temporary residence. They split into several groups and wandered around the Padesto City, closely monitoring the movements at the Silver Pegasus Military Department.
Around noon, a large number of security guards were suddenly deployed in Padesto City to conduct a thorough search of the Padesto City...
On almost every main street and small square in the city, there were security guards questioning the Half-Elf his identity.
Although the Half-Elf had not received a single word of news, they had already begun to realize that the atmosphere in Padesto City was becoming tense.
And by noon, when Boss Roy and his companions still hadn't emerged from the Silver Pegasus Military Department, the Half-Elf Warrior realized something was amiss...
These Half-Elf Warrior no longer gathered together.
Following the plan they had made on the Magic Airship, they split into several groups and hid in the city.
"Alonso and the others must have been captured by those Silver Moon Elf!"
"I knew it... those Silver Moon Elf don't reason at all; they always think that what they do is absolutely right..."
"Damn Silver Moon Elf!"
What should we do now?
"Everyone has scattered, so at this point we can only figure out our own way. The best course of action is to hide in various corners of the city..."
"Furthermore, we must let all the Half-Elf in Padesto City know what those Silver Pegasus Warrior did to us!"
A group of Half-Elf Warrior were hiding in a park, discussing what to do next.
"Alonso specifically told me this morning that we must not try to sneak into the Silver Pegasus Military Department. The Silver Pegasus Military Department is heavily guarded, and we cannot rescue them by our own strength."
"Then let's first make sure all the Half-Elf in the city understand exactly how these Silver Moon Elf Officer in the Silver Pegasus Legion are treating us..."
More than eighty Half-Elf Warrior removed their standard armor and scattered throughout the Padesto City, like fish in the ocean, completely disappearing without a trace...
They spread the word about how the two Silver Moon Elf Officer, Bu Lade and Ke Leiwen, treated Silver Moon Elf Warrior differently from Half-Elf Warrior, and how they treated Half-Elf Warrior harshly.
The Half-Elf in Padesto City quickly learned of this news.
The Half-Elf began to discuss how the higher-ups of the Silver Pegasus Legion were starting to emulate some of Lord Alvis's practices, relentlessly exploiting the Half-Elf ' value on the Pattington Plane...
In the morning, in the garden square next to the Security Guard Regiment, Commander Berkeley stood on a high platform, giving a pre-recruitment speech.
The main story revolves around the Half-Elf joining the Security Guard Regiment, the various benefits they receive, and the duties of the security guards...
There are approximately two hundred young Half-Elf who have expressed interest in joining the Security Guard Regiment.
Commander Berkeley set the recruitment time for the afternoon, but when the afternoon came, the young Half-Elf in the garden square suddenly gathered together and began to discuss something excitedly.
The recruitment team had already formed a long line, but suddenly, the Half-Elf scattered within the team.
Even the Half-Elf were about to sign the application form refused to join the Commander Berkeley's Security Guard Regiment after their friends whispered something in their ears...
They even looked at Commander Berkeley with fear, lest he arrest them in a fit of rage.
In just fifteen minutes, all the Half-Elf in the garden square had left.
Commander Berkeley frowned and asked his adjutant behind him, "Go and find out what exactly happened in the city?"
The adjutant looked pained, kept his mouth shut, and stammered, refusing to speak.
Commander Berkeley's gaze gradually turned cold as he stared unblinkingly at the adjutant, urging, "Tell me what you know..."
"The military has dispatched quite a few Silver Moon Elf to search the city for those Half-Elf who arrived in Padesto City this morning on Magic Airship. The message from the military says that the group of Half-Elf Warrior escaped from the Silver Mine in the Kaltim Mountain Range and need to be arrested and brought to Military Tribunal," the adjutant whispered in response.
Commander Berkeley was so angry he nearly fainted. He furiously swept the documents and files off the table and roared:
"What exactly are these guys trying to do by coming to the Pattington Plane?"
"The military ordered our Security Guard Regiment to deploy troops to assist in capturing those Half-Elf Warrior, but I declined, citing a temporary shortage of manpower in the Security Guard Regiment," the adjutant replied again in a low voice.
"Have you investigated the situation thoroughly?" Commander Berkeley asked, squinting his eyes.
"It's said that Commander Brad and Captain Ke Leiwen went to the Pagisto Plateau to take over the mines. Because they treated the Silver Moon Elf and the Half-Elf Half-Elf, the Half-Elf became dissatisfied and chose to leave," the adjutant whispered.
The adjutant paused, took a breath, and then said:
"I heard that some Half-Elf Warrior caused trouble at the Silver Pegasus Military Department and were captured by the Silvermoon Elven Guard. There are also some Half-Elf Warrior Half-Elf Warrior in the city, and Chief Kemp Fred wants to capture all of them..."
