Setting Sail

Pattington Island is located just behind the Empress Ivini Islands. The Silver Pegasus Legion built a warehouse on the island to store military supplies. The military supplies needed by the Empress Ivini Islands military are almost all transported from the warehouse on Pattington Island.

In addition, a lot of supplies are stored in the Padesto City.

The six Magic Airship, fully loaded, did not stop in Padesto City.

After the Magic Airship arrived at Pattington Island, Roy redistributed the five thousand Elf Warrior onto the nine Magic Airship.

In this way, each Magic Airship can also replenish some food and military supplies.

In order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Mine Guard Regiment, Earl Swynborne handed Roy a blank material request form, with Earl Swynborne's name already signed at the end.

Roy had already heard from Commander Berkeley that there was a legion Material Warehouse on Pattington Island.

The warehouse was located in a secret stone chamber inside the mountain on Pattington Island. Roy, led by a Logistics Department Official, entered the stone chamber, which was carved into the inner wall of the mountain.

The heavy iron gate was as tall as a two-story building, yet when the Logistics Department Official placed his hands on the two stone doors and pushed them with a little force, the massive stone doors opened so easily amidst a rustling sound.

A squadron of Silver Moon Elf infantry was stationed in this warehouse, and they usually guarded the warehouse.

The warehouse manager was a Silver Moon Elf Officer who looked very young and was also cheerful and talkative.

He heard that the officer who came to the warehouse to collect supplies was Boss Roy from the Pattington Plane. He even personally led Roy into the warehouse and introduced him to the various military supplies inside, which could be basically divided into several categories such as weapons, equipment, and consumables.

The warehouse was divided into several areas, which made Roy a little dizzy...

Because he had a blank supply list that he could fill in at will, Roy thought any supplies he saw in the warehouse were good and wanted to take them all.

As they passed a row of weapon racks, the Silver Moon Elf Officer smiled slightly at Roy: "Roy, you came from the Castleton Elf Academy, didn't you?"

"Yeah! But it's a little embarrassing to say, I still haven't graduated from the Castleton Elf Academy!" Roy touched his nose and replied somewhat awkwardly.

"I also graduated from the Castleton Elf Academy, so you should call me senior!" the Silver Moon Elf Officer said familiarly.

"The longswords on these weapon racks are all of excellent quality; they're among the best in the warehouse. If you need a longsword, you should take one from these racks!"

Roy looked at the Silver Moon Elf Officer with gratitude before saying, "Senior, this time I'm not going to apply for weapons and equipment; I plan to apply for a batch of Armor-Piercing Arrow."

The Silver Moon Elf Officer smiled and said to Roy, "The Armor-Piercing Arrow are in the consumables section, not here. I'll take you there."

The Silver Moon Elf Officer led Roy through a corridor to another large door. Pushing open the stone door, the items inside appeared rather eclectic, many displayed in boxes, with only a single sample on the front shelf.

How many Armor-Piercing Arrow are you planning to request?

"One million," Roy said. "Senior, isn't the number of Armor-Piercing Arrow we're applying for a bit too many?"

"..."

The Silver Moon Elf leader was speechless for a moment, then asked with some curiosity, "How many archers do you have? You actually need to apply for a million Armor-Piercing Arrow!"

Roy requested one million Armor-Piercing Arrow. Although this number seemed large, if these Armor-Piercing Arrow were divided equally among five thousand Elf Warrior, each Elf Warrior would only receive four quiver of arrows...

In addition to one million Armor-Piercing Arrow, Roy also requested ten Wooden Box each of ordinary arrowheads, fletchings, and shafts.

As long as there's a chance to retrieve the damaged Armor-Piercing Arrow, the Half-Elf Warrior will pick them up and repair them. These ordinary-quality arrow parts are actually the most abundant supplies in their inventory.

Inside the Material Warehouse, you can also see other supplies. On the shelves against the wall, there are various kinds of magic potions, boxes of Elf Biscuit, first aid bandages, and so on.

"Five thousand Elf Warrior," Roy said casually.

"That's fine. I'll have someone move these Armor-Piercing Arrow out, and you can continue choosing..."

After arranging for people to carry the Armor-Piercing Arrow, the Silver Moon Elf Officer led Roy forward.

Roy would really like to get some of the Tree of Life Sap if it were available, but unfortunately there isn't any in the warehouse.

After walking a little further into the warehouse, Roy saw some large objects covered with tarpaulins. He couldn't tell what was inside, and the tarpaulins were covered with dust, as if they hadn't been touched in a long time.

Roy smelled an oily odor nearby, pointed to the large objects covered with tarpaulins, and asked curiously, "What are those?"

"Shipborne Ballista!" the Silver Moon Elf official said.

A warehouse manager walked over, cut the ropes binding it with a dagger, and lifted the tarpaulin, revealing a Shipborne Ballista with a grease-coated surface to Roy.

This ballista is somewhat special, as it has only one single-leg support at the bottom.

Unlike ballistae with four wheels, this type of Shipborne Ballista can only be used properly if it is firmly fixed to the deck.

Roy walked over, casually turned the handwheel on it, and easily changed the direction of the ballista.

This shipborne crossbow has an adjustable rotation angle of up to 180° and an adjustable pitch support angle of about 60°. It can fire one medium-sized crossbow bolt at a time, similar to the harpoon Fish Spear on some ships, but slightly smaller.

"What? Are you interested in these Shipborne Ballista?" Silver Moon Elf Officer asked as he approached.

Roy nodded and said, "We're going to Goat Horn Bay to fight the Gray Dwarf Bandit this time, so it'll be a good opportunity to install these ballistae on the Magic Airship."

The Silver Moon Elf Officer walked to the opposite shelf, forcefully opened the box lid, and gestured to Roy with his chin, saying, "The magic crossbow bolts here are all used in conjunction with Shipborne Ballista. The only drawback is that these ballistae were all captured by us, and once these magic crossbow bolts are used up, replenishing them will be a big problem!"

The magic crossbow bolts also had sticky notes in Elven attached to them. Roy looked at them carefully and saw that the notes were marked with words such as ' Flame Burst ', 'Penetrating', and 'Freezing'.

"Senior, I would like to apply for forty Shipborne Ballista," Roy said to the Silver Moon Elf Officer.

"Then write it down on the list, and walk to the very back, there are magic potions over there..." the Silver Moon Elf Officer said to Roy.

After browsing through the Material Warehouse, Roy took out the blank application form, filled in one million Armor-Piercing Arrow, forty Shipborne Ballista, and five hundred boxes of Elf Biscuit on it, and handed it to the Silver Moon Elf Officer.

"I thought you would request some magic potions, but the price of magic potions has gone up a bit outrageously lately!"

The Silver Moon Elf Officer glanced at the sparse text on the supplies request form and whispered a suggestion.

Roy quickly responded:

"Senior, I have a potion workshop in Castleton City, I have no shortage of magic potions!"

Roy didn't request a large amount of military supplies, and they were quickly delivered to the beach in the Sheltered Fjord.

Currently, only one Three-Masted Sailboat remains in Sheltered Fjord that has not been converted into Magic Airship. The Floating Device on this Three-Masted Sailboat has been installed, and the old dwarf Maggs is leading four dwarf apprentices to debug the Propulsion Device.

Roy went to the stern of the Three-Masted Sailboat, looked up, and shouted to the old dwarf Maggs, who was standing on the scaffolding:

"Maggs, I need your help, right now... it's urgent!"

"Boss Roy, just let me know what you need. Maggs is happy to serve you!" The old dwarf Maggs stood on the wooden frame, poked his head out, and shouted to Roy, who was standing on the beach.

Roy pointed to the Shipborne Ballista covered with tarpaulins on the beach and shouted:

"I would like to ask you for help in installing these Shipborne Ballista on the Magic Airship!"

The old dwarf Maggs took off his gloves, stuffed them into his overalls pocket, walked onto the beach, lifted the tarpaulin, examined the Shipborne Ballista covered by it, and said knowingly, "Oh, this is easy!"

"Oh my! These Shipborne Ballista seem to be made by dwarves! That makes things even easier. Actually, the decks of those Three-Masted Sailboat already have mounting holes pre-drilled. We just need to use long screws to install these Shipborne Ballista."

The old dwarf Maggs said confidently, thumping his chest loudly.

Under Maggs's leadership, the Half-Elf crew of the Magic Airship worked through the night to install four ship-mounted Shipborne Ballista on the Magic Airship. Each Magic Airship could be equipped with four Shipborne Ballista, just as the old dwarf Maggs had said, the Shipborne Ballista could indeed be mounted on the ship's side.

While Roy was preparing military supplies, Miss Christine, riding her Silver Pegasus, had already surveyed the Wind Stream Layer in the nearby high sky.

Although she didn't have time to find a suitable high-altitude route for the Magic Airship airship, she did find a suitable Wind Stream Layer.

After the Shipborne Ballista were installed, Roy gave the order, and the nine Magic Airship took off simultaneously. After entering the Wind Stream Layer, they Northern Aviation.

After two days and one night, Roy's nine Magic Airship successfully arrived at Ram Horn Fjord.
