Two Letters Seeking Help

As Commander Berkeley, walked down the stairs, he saw Roy sitting at the entrance of the Detention Cabin, chatting and laughing with two Silvermoon Elven Guard...

"Roy, I thought you'd be jumping up and down in the Detention Cabin."

Commander Berkeley stood outside the Detention Cabin, craning his neck to peek inside. He found that the room was almost empty except for a wooden bed.

Roy looked up, smiled, and asked the Commander Berkeley:

"Berkeley, what brings you here?"

Commander Berkeley snorted, somewhat displeased, and said, "Isn't it all because of those Half-Elf Warrior who deserted the legion on their own?"

Roy stared at Commander Berkeley: "You went to see Kampferfred?"

"Um."

"What did you find?" Roy blinked, a look of anticipation on his face.

The Commander Berkeley spread his hands, somewhat speechless, and said dejectedly, "That guy is very stubborn, I can't persuade him."

Roy rubbed his forehead with his fingers, glanced at Commander Berkeley, and asked him curiously, "So you're planning to go and persuade the Half-Elf Warrior in the underground prison to confess their crimes?"

The Commander Berkeley shook his head. "No, I was planning to come and see you because I wanted to know what you were thinking."

"So you came to find me? Planning to rescue me from this Detention Cabin?" Roy stood up and asked with a smile.

The Commander Berkeley's expression was somewhat strange. "Didn't you already come out?"

Roy chuckled awkwardly, "Actually, I didn't leave the Detention Cabin. I just opened the door and chatted with the two of them."

"Do you know that things are in complete chaos outside? There are at least three thousand Half-Elf surrounding the military headquarters, and that number is still rising. There are now about eight hundred thousand Half-Elf gathered in Padesto City. If a riot breaks out in Padesto City, the consequences will be hard to predict. And you still have the mood to sit here and chat with those two?" Commander Berkeley questioned Roy with an exaggerated expression.

Roy tentatively asked, "So... I can go out now?"

"Let's go, we can talk as we walk. When you two report back to your commander, tell him that I took Governor Roy away!" Commander Berkeley put his arm around Roy's shoulder and turned to the two Silvermoon Elven Guard.

"Yes, Commander Berkeley."

The Silvermoon Elven Guard replied cooperatively.

Commander Berkeley served the longest in the logistics department of the Silver Pegasus Legion. Almost all the Silver Moon Elven Guard in the Padesto Silver Pegasus Military Department had served under Commander Berkeley Commander Berkeley, and they trusted his words implicitly.

Berkeley led Roy up the stairs to the military hall, where Commander Brad and Commander Ke Leiwen were standing behind a window, observing the Half-Elf demonstration outside and occasionally exchanging a few words in hushed tones.

The two commanders were startled to see Roy emerge from the stairwell, but upon spotting Commander Berkeley Commander Berkeley, they greeted him warmly.

The Commander Berkeley nodded with a stern face, which was his response.

He led Roy into a small room in the corner of the first-floor lobby, where Commander Berkeley's adjutant stood guard outside.

"Actually, I discovered a month ago that an Inciter Organization had appeared in the Padesto City. The members of this group were spreading the word throughout Padesto City that the Half-Elf should become independent," Commander Berkeley said to Roy in a low voice.

He then added, "I discovered that members of Independent Organizations were also involved in this demonstration by the half- Half-Elf. They want to completely muddy the waters of Padesto City. The Pattington Plane has just begun to show signs of improvement, and I doubt anyone wants Padesto City to return to its former state. If they cause trouble in the city, it could affect Padesto City's development."

"So I don't want to give them this opportunity to fish in troubled waters..."

After speaking, Commander Berkeley looked at Roy.

Roy pursed his lips, then asked the Commander Berkeley:

"There's something I've never understood. You know, Half-Elf are very wary of the Silver Moon Elf military. How exactly did Captains Bu Lade and Ke Leiwen manage to recruit two thousand Half-Elf Warrior?"

The Commander Berkeley smiled somewhat awkwardly and said:

"Those two guys have really gotten me into serious trouble this time..."

Roy knew that without Commander Berkeley's help, Bu Lade and Ke Leiwen probably wouldn't have been able to recruit Half-Elf Warrior in Padesto City...

The Commander Berkeley continued to explain:

"I recruited those two thousand Half-Elf Warrior. They were originally intended to expand the Security Guard. They came from the Empress Ivini Islands and wanted to open up mines on the Pagisto Plateau. Chief Commander Kampferfred hoped that the Security Guard Regiment could send a Half-Elf team to accompany them to the Pagisto Plateau."

"Sigh, I never expected them to make things like this. I guess the Security Guard Regiment will have a hard time recruiting Half-Elf Warrior in the future. I really regret it..."

Roy interrupted Commander Berkeley's self-reproach, saying, "Let's not talk about that now. Solving this crisis is the most urgent task."

Commander Berkeley looked at Roy, and Roy said:

"The main problem this time is that Chief of Staff Kampferfred refuses to back down an inch. I can't just try to win over these demonstrating Half-Elf with no bargaining chips!"

"..." The Commander Berkeley was so speechless he didn't want to say a word.

After a pause, he asked Roy, "So what do you want to do?"

Roy immediately voiced his thoughts. "The imprisoned Half-Elf Warrior must be released first. They haven't done anything wrong. Why should they lock us up before we've even discussed anything at the Silver Pegasus Military Department?... Speaking of which, I thought Chief of Staff Kampferfred would send them directly to Military Tribunal and convict these Half-Elf Warrior."

Commander Berkeley understood; Roy wanted to personally rescue the Half-Elf Warrior in the underground dungeon.

"Hmph..."

The Commander Berkeley had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Although Commander Berkeley couldn't persuade Grand Master Kampferfred to change his mind, he could still secretly let the group of Half-Elf Warrior leave.

However, this meant that Commander Berkeley had completely placed himself on the opposite side of Chief of Staff Kampferfred.

The two walked out of the lounge and went straight to the end of the corridor, where there was a staircase leading to the basement.

Roy followed Commander Berkeley to the underground prison, where the Silvermoon Elven Guard on both sides saluted Commander Berkeley.

There were only six cells in the basement. Thirty-odd Half-Elf Warrior were locked in the first cell, all sitting on stone slabs against the wall.

The Half-Elf Warrior hadn't eaten breakfast. Here, there was no distinction between day and night; everyone remained mostly silent to conserve energy as much as possible...

The Half-Elf heard footsteps, and some couldn't help but look up. When they saw Roy and a Silver Moon Elf official approaching, they couldn't help but call out, "Boss Roy..."

Roy walked outside the cell and reassured the Half-Elf Warrior inside, "I'll take you out first, and we'll settle this score with them later!"

As he spoke, he gently pushed the iron door with one hand, and Roy opened the prison door with a click.

Roy entered the cell and checked each of the Half-Elf Warrior to see if they were injured.

A Silvermoon Elven Guard outside the prison tried to intervene, but was glared at by Commander Berkeley, who immediately pulled his leg back.

"If Chief Commander Kampferfred asks, just tell him that I took these Half-Elf Warrior with me."

Commander Berkeley stood aside and gave instructions to the Silvermoon Elven Guard outside the prison.

Moria, the Silver Pegasus Knight, rode his Silver Pegasus across the vast sea.

He rode his Silver Pegasus for more than three hours until the main island of the West Reef Islands finally came into view. He planned to rest on the island for a while, drink some coconut juice, and then continue his journey.

When Moria left the Padesto Silver Pegasus Military Department, a large, Half-Elf half-elf warriors had gathered outside.

The scene terrified him.

He first passed through the Teleportation Portal, and then flew non-stop towards the Empress Ivini Islands.

Upon arriving at Empress Ivini Islands, following Chief Commander Kampferfred's instructions, Knight Moria first secretly visited Earl McCauley.

So the letter of appeal written by Campbell was quickly delivered to Earl McCauley.

Earl McCauley lay on a wicker chair, two young Silver Moon Elf maidens massaging his legs. He held a book of poems in his hands. A trusted aide hurried over and handed Earl McCauley a letter. Earl McCauley slowly opened the letter, unfolded the paper, and began to read its contents.

With each sentence he read, his face grew darker, and by the time he finished reading the entire letter, he was so angry that he sat up from his recliner.

"What on earth is wrong with this Camp.Fred?"

Earl McCauley cursed, his face turning ashen.

At a time like this, they actually thought of transferring a Silver Pegasus Knight Order from Queen Ivini Island to the Pattington Plane...

The Silver Pegasus Legion headquarters on Empress Ivini Islands is currently at its weakest point.

After the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle, the Silver Pegasus Legion had not yet recovered its strength, but at this critical moment, it sent a Silver Pegasus Knight Order to support Gorfito. Accompanying this Silver Pegasus Knight Order were two infantry Guard Regiment and Logistics Regiment consisting of thirty medium-sized sailing ships.

Where does the Silver Pegasus Legion have the manpower to suppress the protests of the Half-Elf of the Pattington Plane?

Earl McCauley was very dissatisfied with Kampferfred, who couldn't even handle such a small matter.

He initially didn't want to pay attention to Chief of Staff Kampferfred's letter requesting assistance, and casually tossed the letter onto the table...

But then Earl McCauley immediately remembered that the situation in Pattington Plane was somewhat special, so he picked up the letter again, hesitated for a moment, and then instructed his confidant:

"Go and invite Earl Swynborne and High Priest Reginold to the meeting room... Never mind, I'll go see them now!"

He changed his mind halfway through his sentence.

Earl McCauley instructed his confidant, "Take that messenger and go rest for a while."

After saying this, Earl McCauley turned around and walked to the coat rack, letting the two Silver Moon Elf maidens help him put on his robes before hurriedly leaving his residence.

Earl Swynborne leaned back in his chair, resting his head on the backrest, closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his temples with one hand to soothe his bad mood.

What you fear most is what is most likely to happen...

The Silver Pegasus Military Department leadership originally believed that the waters surrounding the Elf Continent would be very safe once the Gray Dwarf Bandit retreated to the Outer Sea of the Orcish territory, since the Silver Pegasus Knight Order could provide aerial support to the fleet.

Unexpectedly, just as the fleet, laden with logistical supplies, entered the Ram Horn Strait, bad news arrived: two infantry Guard Regiment of the Silver Pegasus Legion, along with thirty logistical supply ships, were attacked by Gray Dwarf Bandit upon reaching the Ram Horn Strait. The entire fleet is currently anchored on an island in the fjord, awaiting rescue by the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Earl Swynborne calculated the number of troops stationed on the Empress Ivini Islands. Almost every island was already below the warning line, and it was impossible to continue to draw troops.

In recent years, due to the lack of warfare near the Silver Moon Elf territory, the Silver Moon Elf royal family has been reducing military spending year by year, and the size of the army has also been gradually decreasing.

The drawbacks of reducing the military have already emerged.

The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom is primarily responsible for guarding the Empress Ivini Islands and patrolling the more than 700-kilometer-long coastline between Castleton Harbour and Moneliss Port...

The legion's manpower was already somewhat stretched, and now it is even more difficult to maintain.

Although the Silver Pegasus Legion has recruited some new Silver Moon Elf soldiers, these new soldiers have no combat experience and are unlikely to be sent directly to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

The Silver Moon Elf have the utmost respect for life, which is why they conduct the most rigorous training for the new army.

Earl Swynborne turned to look at the military defense layout map hanging on the wall, considering which battle group to withdraw from the defense zone.

After all, it was a battle at sea, and the infantry Guard Regiment was no match for those Gray Dwarf Bandit.

We might need to deploy the Silver Pegasus Knight Order, but we can no longer spare any more knights from the Empress Ivini Islands...

Earl Swynborne wanted to calm down.

At that moment, Earl McCauley walked in, looking very unwell.

Earl Swynborne asked, "What happened?"

Earl McCauley handed the letter of appeal to Earl Swynborne, Earl Swynborne read it in one breath and then remained silent.

He pushed the letter requesting aid from Ram Horn Fjord, which was lying on the table, toward Earl McCauley.

After reading it, Earl McCauley slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "What the hell is going on? Everything bad just seems to be happening at once!"

The High Priest Reginold also appeared at the office door. Given what had happened, the Priest Corps of the Moon God Temple would definitely have to be dispatched to Ram Horn Fjord for rescue...

The process of applying for Priest Corps is quite complicated.
