Upon seeing the flag rising from the Ship Building of the Magic Airship, some of the Half-Elf at the Air Port Dock immediately ran to the highest point of the airport Tower Station and blew a horn made of bison horn with all their might.

'Ugh...'

The deep sound had a strong penetrating power. The Half-Elf Warrior on the City Wall heard the horn and almost simultaneously looked up at the sky.

The Half-Elf in the city all put down their work, stood up one by one, and looked up at the Magic Airship descending from the sky.

Even Mulin came out of her office and stood on a terrace on the second floor of the City Hall, gazing at the Magic Airship in the distance...

Christine walked up the stairs to the rooftop and leaned against the railing in the corner of the Ship Building. She looked at Roy, who was standing at the bow of the ship, holding the bronze Argali Ram Horn with one hand. The young, Half-Elf figure she remembered suddenly seemed much taller and more imposing.

The Magic Airship docked in front of the Air Port Dock platform.

As Roy descended from the Air Port Dock tower, he saw Mulin riding up to the Air Port Dock gate. She called out to Roy, who was about ten meters away, "Roy, how did that matter go?"

Roy knew which question Mulin was referring to and immediately responded loudly:

"It's all sorted out. You can't imagine how amazing it is, but I don't have time to go into details right now."

Roy said loudly as he walked:

"Go to the Guard Regiment camp and gather five thousand Elf Warrior. I plan to take them to Goat Ram Horn Fjord on the Elf Continent to participate in a rescue operation. I will bring them back here by Magic Airship at this time tomorrow. Let them prepare for the long journey before they set off. The airship will not stay in the Plateau City for long. I hope they can board the ship quickly."

Mulin asked Roy, "Huh? Is there going to be another war on the Elf Continent?"

Roy replied, "Yes, a group of Gray Dwarf Bandit has appeared in Ram Horn Fjord. Their fleet is blocking the fjord's entrance. Our Mine Guard Regiment's mission is to go to Ram Horn Fjord and assist the Fifth and Sixth Silver Pegasus Knight Order in fighting these gray Dwarf Warrior."

After explaining this, Roy turned and walked towards the Tower Station.

"Okay, where are you going?" Mulin quickly followed behind and asked.

"At the North Coast dock of Sun Island Bay, I plan to take out all the Magic Airship moored there..."

Roy explained.

He raised his right hand and casually waved it at Mulin behind him.

At this moment, Mulin noticed an unfamiliar figure appearing on the Magic Airship above her. Somewhat puzzled, she asked her assistant, "Am I seeing things? Why do I see a Silver Moon Elf lady on the Magic Airship?"

"Lady Mulin, you are not mistaken. There is indeed a Silver Moon Elf standing on the Ship Building of that Magic Airship."

The deputy responded in a low voice.

Seeing Roy climbing the stairs of the Tower Station step by step, Mulin couldn't help but complain:

"Roy is really something else. He just defeated the Sea Beast Priest in Sun Island Bay, and now he wants to go back to the Elf Continent to participate in the naval battle in Ram Horn Fjord..."

The deputy beside him dared not utter a word at this moment.

The only elf who would dare to publicly criticize Boss Roy like this is Lady Mulin.

"Wasn't Boss Roy back? Where is he?"

Captain Timothy of the Assassin Squad, arrived at the Air Port Dock, only to see the Magic Airship slowly rising overhead once again...

"They came... and then they left!"

Mulin couldn't help but roll her eyes and said.

There were many Half-Elf standing outside the Air Port Dock. They were all Half-Elf Warrior who had deserted from the army and were waiting for news from Air Port Dock Padesto City.

However, Roy came and went in a hurry and did not mention anything related to the desertion incident.

Mulin called out to Captain Timothy, who was turning to leave. She walked up to Captain Timothy and instructed him, "By the way, Timothy, go and gather the Dark Moon Elf Warrior of the Assassin Squad back. Before noon tomorrow, I don't care how many you can gather, make sure they are all ready for their journey."

Captain Timothy took a deep breath and said, "What? Are we going to have another war so soon?"

Mulin nodded and said in a low voice, "This time we're going back to the Elf Continent to fight a naval battle against the Gray Dwarf Bandit. Your Assassin Squad needs to send at least five squadrons back with Roy."

The Assassin Squad demonstrated formidable combat power back in West Reef Islands.

Currently, at least half of the Dark Moon Elf Warrior in the Assassin Squad are scattered throughout the Pagisto Plateau, cooperating with the Griffon Cavalry to wipe out the small groups of Highland Slavers hiding in the deep mountains and marshes.

Captain Timothy wants these Dark Moon Elf Warrior to return to Plateau City by noon tomorrow, so he can only search in areas not too far from Plateau City, such as the Wildlands, the northern region of Sudathor, the eastern side of the Kaltim Mountain Range, and the southern end of the Gaxi Mountain Range, and he also needs the support of the Griffon Cavalry Regiment.

"Uh, I'll go gather the men right away," Captain Timothy replied.

Roy's Magic Airship continued its journey toward Sun Island Fjord.

The Magic Airship only stopped for a short while in the Plateau City, but it allowed Christine to see the entire Plateau City from her vantage point.

The Magic Airship traversed the southern region of the Pagisto Plateau, naturally offering scenic views along the way.

As the Magic Airship plunged into the crisscrossing valleys of the Southern Plateau, many mountain peaks were bare, their bases piled with countless rubble, with only a patch of green visible on the mountainside.

Only in the Southern Plateau are there many mountains with this kind of terrain. The mountains here are generally not very high, and there is no snow on the top of the mountain.

Once the Magic Airship entered the Wind Stream Layer, with all the sails on the three masts billowing, its flight speed was still very fast. The only drawback was that the Wind Stream Layer was extremely cold, while only the cabin was relatively warm...

The Magic Airship bypassed the barrier-like Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range.

Half a day later, the Magic Airship arrived above Sun Island Bay. Miss Christine could clearly see the azure sea below through the glass window.

The sea was surrounded by land, like two giant arms embracing the sea tightly.

When the weather is fine, Sun Island Bay is as clear and bright as a giant sapphire, and the Coral Reef on the seabed can even reflect some colorful hues.

On the airship, Christine couldn't even see the boundary between the sky and the sea in the distance; the sea was much more vast than she had imagined.

As the Magic Airship slowly descended, it crashed into the sea with a loud bang, sending up huge waves several meters high.

The Magic Airship then rocked violently back and forth on the sea a few times before slowly stabilizing.

The Half-Elf crew skillfully raised the sails, and propelled by the sea breeze, the Magic Airship slowly approached the North Coast dock.

Adjusting the direction of Magic Airship in the sea is far easier than in the Wind Stream Layer...

Four Magic Airship were moored at the dock of the North Coast Harbor, and a row of Flying Fish Boat were moored in the shallow waters of the dock.

Some Half-Elf drive these canoes into the sea. They only have two ways of fishing: sea fishing with hooks and diving into the sea to hunt big fish with harpoons.

Roy and Miss Christine disembarked, Half-Elf on the dock seemed a little reserved when they saw Roy.

These Half-Elf have always lived in Sun Island Bay. Before the Sun Island merfolk were driven away by the Mine Guard Regiment, they basically dared not approach this coastline. Although many of these Half-Elf possess the heritage of Beast Tamer and can make griffins their companions, they would be attacked by the Sun Island merfolk whenever they appeared along the coastline.

This time, Roy led the Mine Guard Regiment to drive away the Sun Island fishmen, allowing them to fish in the bay.

Many Half-Elf know Roy.

On the beach not far from the pier, the Half-Elf people set up rows of wooden racks with dried fish hanging on them.

Roy stopped a Half-Elf on the dock and asked him, "Where is Chief Tiprado?"

The Half-Elf seemed flustered, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, and stammered, "The village chief is handling matters in the village."

The Half-Elf of Sun Island have always lived a secluded life, rarely interacting with the outside world. When Roy asks them questions, they become very nervous.

Roy came to the North Coast Pier of Sun Island Bay to take away the four Magic Airship docked there, so he had to say goodbye to Chief Tiprado before leaving.

"Let's go look for it..."

After Roy finished speaking, he walked towards the newly built elven village in the jungle north of the dock.

Miss Christine looked around curiously. When Instructor Nora led the Adventure Group up the Aperture No.3 of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, everyone knew that there was a sea to the south of the jungle, but from the Griffon Bulwark Mountains, they could only see a blurry coastline.

Now, standing on the pier by the sea, she feels a great sense of curiosity about this jungle.

When Roy first entered this new elven village, it was built on the edge of the jungle. The Toadfish Cavalry had summoned the sea tides several times to crash against the jungle on the north shore, leaving the edge of the jungle covered with all kinds of broken or uprooted trees. After passing through this area of dead trees, and heading north into a lush Rainforest, you would see some wooden houses built in the trees.

Many wooden houses have rows of long poles erected under them, with fish and meat hanging from them.

The biggest difference between Half-Elf and Silver Moon Elf is that they do not reject eating fish.

Moreover, many Half-Elf in the village tame griffins, and these griffins actually love to eat fish...

"Boss Roy, how may I help you?"

Chief Tiprado must have learned of Roy's arrival from the other Half-Elf, because he came out of a treehouse.

"I'm taking a Mine Guard Regiment to the Elf Continent. I'm entrusting the management of the Plateau City to Mulin. Commander Tiprado, your vacation here at Sun Island Bay is over. You're now in charge of security in the area surrounding the Pagisto Plateau."

"As you command, Boss Roy!"

"That's what the village chief Tiprado said."

Miss Christine stood behind Roy and noticed that the Half-Elf in the village looked at Roy with eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

Roy chatted with the village chief Tiprado for a few minutes before returning to the North Coast dock.

Five magical sailboats were lined up at the dock, and the Half-Elf crew members had all returned to their ships to await orders.

These crew members must have known that the Magic Airship was about to depart, so the Half-Elf on the dock carried the dried fish that had been drying on the beach onto the Magic Airship.

The five captains of the Magic Airship were waiting on the dock. When they saw Roy walking back, they all went to greet him.

"Have all the crew members assembled?" Roy asked as he approached the five captains.

"Boss, we're all ready!" the five Half-Elf replied in unison.

They were all Half-Elf Warrior from the Mine Guard Regiment, and Roy promoted them to captain of the Magic Airship because they excelled in the navigation training.

"Then let's set off immediately, our first stop: the Plateau City!"

Roy didn't want to wait a moment longer.

The five Magic Airship arrived in the Plateau City as scheduled, on the afternoon of the second day.

Five thousand Mine Guard waited outside the Air Port Dock of the Plateau City, while the Half-Elf Warrior leaned against the wall, sitting in the shade by the City Wall.

Mulin stood alone on the Lookout Platform at the top of the airport tower. She only breathed a sigh of relief when the fleet of Magic Airship gradually broke through the clouds and slowly descended. She picked up a flag that was stuck in the sky and waved it vigorously.

The Elven Guard standing on the City Wall also saw the Magic Airship, and then a deep horn sounded from the Air Port Dock.

Upon hearing the horn, the Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard Regiment rose from the shade of the wall and looked up at the sky...

A Magic Airship is still parked in front of the control Tower Station at the Air Port Dock. All the supplies on the Magic Airship have been unloaded. The Air Port Dock is currently closed, and everything must give way to the mission of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Roy stepped off the Magic Airship and immediately ordered the five thousand Elf Warrior waiting outside the Air Port Dock to line up and board the ship.

Currently, six Magic Airship are docked at the Air Port Dock. Each Magic Airship is equipped with eight hundred Elf Warrior, which is enough to transport five thousand Elf Warrior to Padesto City at the same time.

A Magic Airship carrying eight hundred Elf Warrior was already at full capacity.

In this state, the twelve Floating Device were operating at almost maximum power, and the speed at which they burned Magic Crystal Stone was terrifying. In order to carry as many Elf Warrior as possible, Roy dumped all the cargo that could be unloaded from the Magic Airship at the Air Port Dock in the Plateau City.

To Roy's surprise, the Dark Moon Elf Warrior of the Assassin Squad practically monopolized a Magic Airship. When Roy boarded the Magic Airship and saw Captain Timothy, he realized that he had managed to recall more than seven hundred Dark Moon Elf Warrior from various parts of the Pagisto Plateau in a single day.

This time, the Assassin Squad was led by Captain Timothy alone, as Vice Captain Tennyson was unable to return in time.

One after another, the Magic Airship left the Plateau City.

After the Magic Airship ascended into the sky, it flew straight towards the Padesto City.

The Half-Elf Warrior who boarded the Magic Airship wore high-quality Magic Armor, had Storm Sword at their waists, and carried enchanted Elf Longbow on their backs; their silver armor gleamed in the sunlight...
