Recruiting

The Gray Dwarf Bandit stared at the nine Magic Airship hovering high in the sky, knowing full well that the Silver Moon Elf were already in an invincible position in this naval battle.

Under the fierce bombardment of the Shipborne Ballista, nearly half of the more than one hundred Three-Masted Sailboat sank near the Aio Island.

The remaining Gray Dwarf Bandit, aboard their remaining Three-Masted Sailboat, quickly retreated from the waters outside Ram Horn Fjord...

Once the Magic Airship enter the Wind Stream Layer, they can fly at extremely high speeds. However, once they leave the Wind Stream Layer, their speed in the air will be as slow as a snail, thanks to Magic Airship own Propulsion Device.

Therefore, Magic Airship have little ability to pursue targets on the battlefield.

As the Gray Dwarf Bandit escaped on their Three-Masted Sailboat, with only the Silver Pegasus knights in pursuit, Roy's Magic Airship were powerless to stop them...

The local Silvermoon Elven Nobles fleet that rushed out of Murayaki Port quickly arrived in the waters near Aio Island. They immediately took the Silver Pegasus Legion Silvermoon Elven Guard were trapped on the pirates onto the medium-sized sailing ships.

The fleet then cleaned up the battlefield around Aio Island. The Silver Moon Elf first pulled the Gray Dwarf Bandit had fallen into the sea onto the ships and imprisoned them. Then they looted some spoils from some of the unsunken but badly damaged Three-Masted Sailboat.

In addition to capturing a large number of Gray Dwarf Bandit, the Silver Moon Elf fleet at the Murayaki Port also seized five ships full of spoils. Furthermore, the elves towed back four severely damaged but unsinkable Three-Masted Sailboat to the Murayaki Port.

Roy's nine Magic Airship, propelled by their Propulsion Device, slowly flew into Ram Horn Fjord and then docked at the pier of Murayaki Port.

As Roy led a squad of Half-Elf Warrior off the Three-Masted Sailboat, the Silver Moon Elf on the dock applauded, and some Silver Moon Elf Officer shouted to Roy:

"Well done..."

"... Well done!"

There were many Silver Moon Elf Officer on the dock, most of whom were local Silver Moon Elf from Murayaki Port. These Silver Moon Elf Officer surrounded two Silvermoon Elven Nobles dressed in magnificent military uniforms. Roy immediately recognized that one of the Silver Moon Elf officers was wearing the Silver Pegasus Legion's badge on his chest.

That badge was very special because Roy had seen a similar one on the chest of the Earl Swynborne.

Earl Swynborne's legion commander's badge was pure gold, while this Silver Moon Elf officer's badge had a silver line along the edge. Only two members of the Silver Pegasus Legion's high command were qualified to wear the legion commander's badge: Earl Swynborne and Earl McCauley.

Moreover, Roy knew that Earl McCauley had come to Ram Horn Fjord with the Fifth and Sixth Silver Pegasus Knight Regiment.

So even if Roy had never met Earl McCauley, he could still confirm that the Silver Moon Elf official was Earl McCauley.

Roy stepped forward, crossed his right hand over his chest, and shouted, "Salute!"

The Half-Elf Warrior who followed Roy down from the Magic Airship immediately stood up straight and, mimicking Roy's movements, gave Earl McCauley a uniform military salute.

"Commander McCauley, the Pattington Plane Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Regiment reporting for duty!" Roy announced loudly.

His Elven Language had a slight Castleton accent, which made Earl McCauley feel somewhat better.

Earl McCauley nodded slightly, then turned to Earl Stasa beside him and complained, "Now you should understand how difficult the situation is for our Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion!"

"The naval battle at Empress Ivini Islands almost tied down all the Silver Moon Elf Guard Regiment, which is why we had to transfer a Guard Regiment from Pattington Plane."

Earl Stasa glanced at Earl McCauley, brushed a strand of long hair behind his ear with one hand, and said in a somewhat strange tone:

"I am quite familiar with Alvis of the Pattington Plane, so I know a lot about that plane. I know that most of the people living on that plane are Half-Elf ... But it's quite unexpected that your Seventeenth Legion has actually formed a Half-Elf Guard Regiment on that plane!"

Earl McCauley could tell that Earl Stasa was not in a good mood.

As the instigator of this incident, Viscount Philek had already slunk away when he disembarked.

Just thinking about his wife Serena's affair with Viscount Philek on their eight-hundred- Magic Crystal Stone- worth bed last night made Earl Stasa feel a raging fire burning in his chest, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Count Earl Stasa had hoped that Viscount Philek would die on the battlefield, or at least learn a lesson in this naval battle, but unexpectedly, Earl McCauley's naval battle came to an abrupt end after the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion revealed a trump card...

The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion overwhelmingly defeated the Gray Dwarf Bandit.

Earl Stasa was puzzled. Why would Earl McCauley go to such lengths to ask the fleet from Murayaki Port to leave Ram Horn Fjord and join the battle in the waters Aio Island, when the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion already had such a Magic Airship fleet?

With so many unpleasant things piling up, his tone of voice sounded a bit strange! When Earl McCauley heard Earl Stasa say this, he could only smile bitterly to himself. He didn't know anything about the Pattington Plane, let alone Roy, since the Half-Elf boy had long ago been marked with the mark of the Swynborne Family.

Earl McCauley could not say this in front of outsiders.

"When we first created this Half-Elf Guard Regiment, we imposed many restrictions on Guard Regiment."

"Unless there are special circumstances, they cannot leave the Pattington Plane at will. They can only move around on the Pagisto Plateau in the Pattington Plane. If it weren't for the attack on the Silver Moon Elf Guard Regiment in Ram Horn Fjord, we wouldn't have transferred them out of the Pattington Plane," Earl McCauley explained.

These matters must be made clear to Earl Stasa, otherwise, if there is a misunderstanding, Earl McCauley fears it will affect their friendship.

Earl Stasa realized he had just lost his composure, so he quickly calmed himself down and discussed with Earl McCauley how to deal with the Gray Dwarf Bandit prisoners of war captured in the naval battle.

The Silver Moon Elf ' usual methods of dealing with prisoners of war are actually quite complicated.

According to normal procedure, these Gray Dwarf prisoners of war would first be sent to Military Tribunal to determine their crimes, usually War Crime, and then go through several trials to determine which Gray Dwarf prisoners of war had killed elves and which had not.

Gray Dwarf Gray Dwarf prisoners of war who have killed elves will be sent to the Parrham Island Prison, where they will be sentenced to life imprisonment.

The sentences of Gray Dwarf prisoners of war who had not killed elves varied in length, depending entirely on the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' attitude toward admitting their guilt...

Therefore, the trial of prisoners of war was a very tedious process, and no benefits could be obtained from it.

Earl Stasa stood at the dock, watching the long line of Gray Dwarf prisoners of war slowly disembarking from the medium-sized sailing ships, and spoke up:

"You defeated these Gray Dwarf Bandit, so they should be dealt with by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion!"

"Sure. But I'll have priority in choosing the spoils of war captured from the waters around Aio Island!" Earl McCauley readily agreed, but also added his own conditions.

"No problem! You can choose first," Earl Stasa agreed.

Earl McCauley smiled gratefully at Earl Stasa and said, "... In any case, thank you for extending a helping hand to the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion unconditionally when they needed it most."

After he finished speaking, he stepped forward, shook hands with Earl Stasa, and gave him a hard bump on the shoulder.

"Haha, since you think that way, I won't stand on ceremony with you about something!" Earl Stasa rarely smiled.

"Please just say the word... as long as it's within my power," Earl McCauley said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't make things too difficult for you..."

Earl Stasa whispered something in Earl McCauley's ear.

Roy led a group of Half-Elf Warrior to the pile of spoils, specifically selecting the Wooden Box containing magic crossbow bolts.

In fact, the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' Three-Masted Sailboat were also equipped with some Shipborne Ballista. These Shipborne Ballista were specifically designed to deal with the Silver Pegasus knights. During the naval battle, Roy's Magic Airship hovered at a height exceeding the effective range of the Shipborne Ballista, and the Gray Dwarf Bandit ' ballistae could not reach the Magic Airship at all.

When the Three-Masted Sailboat sank near the Aio Island, the Silver Moon Elf Warrior retrieved some Wooden Box filled with magic crossbow bolts from the sea.

Earl McCauley obtained the right to choose the spoils of war first from Earl Stasa, and naturally gave this right to Roy had made the greatest contribution in the naval battle.

Miss Christine followed in the group, observing with great curiosity the many spoils displayed on the dock.

At this moment, the Silver Moon Elf Officer had informed Roy to choose his spoils first walked up to Roy and said, "Commander Roy, Earl McCauley wishes to see you!"

Roy slowly raised his head, then walked to Captain Timothy's side and whispered to him, "You keep watch here for now, I'm going to see Earl McCauley!"

"Yes, Commander Roy."

"Captain Timothy replied."

Inside a treehouse in the noble district of Murayaki City, Roy sat on a sofa. The partition in front of him was made of precious materials with openwork carvings, and the wood itself exuded a refreshing fragrance. On the wooden table next to him was a gold ornament inlaid with several gorgeous gemstones.

The glass in front of him contained the emerald green Tree of Life Sap, along with a faint aroma of wine. The rich life force was so strong that just one whiff of it made Roy feel completely at ease.

Several silvery-white Tairo Fruit are placed on the plate. Tairo Fruit that have reached maturity have a sweet and cloying aroma.

A Silver Moon Elf maidservant squatted beside the small table. She peeled open the Tairo Fruit with her slender, white fingers and offered the egg-sized, jade-like flesh to Roy's mouth.

Roy sat on the sofa somewhat awkwardly, his back ramrod straight.

Seeing that Roy wouldn't open his mouth no matter what, the Silver Moon Elf maid smiled gently, placed the peeled Tairo Fruit on a plate, and got up to leave.

Not long after, Earl McCauley walked in from outside.

He changed into a set of elegant casual clothes and smiled at Roy, saying:

"You're Roy?"

"Yes, Earl McCauley." Roy stood up from his seat without any expression on his face.

"Your Mine Guard Regiment did a great job this time. If I had known that your Mine Guard Regiment was so strong, I should have suggested to Earl Swynborne that your Guard Regiment be sent to Gorfito!"

Roy responded loudly to Earl McCauley, "Your Earl, it is the best we can do!"

"I have no idea where these Magic Airship of yours come from. Could you tell me about them?" Earl McCauley said with a smile.

Although Roy was very unwilling, he did not hesitate at all and quickly explained, "Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle, our regiment was ordered to be stationed in the West Reef Islands. The Gray Dwarf Bandit launched a night attack on West Key Island and were discovered by our scouts. Our regiment immediately engaged in a battle with the Gray Dwarf Bandit on the island. At that time, none of the Gray Dwarf Bandit were able to escape back to their ships. We followed the clues and were lucky enough to find their fleet, thus capturing eleven Three-Masted Sailboat."

"The entire battle process should be recorded in more detail in the battle report summary of the Silver Pegasus Legion headquarters."

"After the naval battle, these eleven Three-Masted Sailboat became the spoils of Mine Guard Regiment. I happened to return to Castleton City at that time to deal with the matter of Elementary Magic Herbs. I was dealing with Imperial Merchant at the time, and they told me that they had a dwarf craftsman on their ship who could modify Three-Masted Sailboat. So I spent a sum of money to ask this old dwarf to help me convert all eleven Three-Masted Sailboat into Magic Airship!"

"I know that Magic Airship cannot sail on the Elf Continent. The original purpose of modifying the Magic Airship was to transport them to the Pattington Plane."

"The Padesto City in the Pattington Plane is too far from the Pagisto Plateau. Relying solely on pack animals cannot meet the needs of merchants. Therefore, I submitted an application to the military to open a waterway between Padesto City and the Plateau City..."

After Roy finished speaking, Earl McCauley sighed softly. What Roy said was almost identical to the information he had investigated.

"Roy, you performed exceptionally well in both the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle and the Battle of Ram Horn Fjord. Have you ever considered taking military courses at the Buenos Advanced Elf Academy? If you are interested, you can come to me. I happen to have a recommendation for this advanced academy!" Earl McCauley said tentatively.

Roy never expected that Earl McCauley would extend an olive branch to him at this time...

"Um, Earl McCauley, I don't have that plan at the moment!"

Roy stood calmly in front of Earl McCauley and spoke.
