Boss Roy
Inside the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp, Legion Commander Gabreles stood with a cold expression at the bottom of the steps.
Behind him stood a group of Silver Moon Elf captains, all staring at Roy's blood-stained Magic Cloak.
Clearly, the Silver Moon Elf leaders had gained a profound understanding of the dangers of the Dark Land through Roy's actions. As the leader of the Mine Guard Regiment, Roy had appeared before them in such a disheveled state.
Many Silver Moon Elf commanders even began to imagine the bloody scene of Roy fighting fiercely against Dark Creatures outside the camp...
Roy immediately straightened up and, without changing his expression, loudly reported to Legion Commander Gabreles, "Your Excellency, the Mine Guard Regiment is preparing to go out and clear out the Dark Creatures around the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp. Recently, high-level Dark Creatures have been frequently appearing outside the valley. In order to ensure that the Expeditionary Force is not discovered by Dark Creatures, I have decided to take the initiative this time and clear out the Dark Creatures outside the valley first, forming a strategic buffer zone..."
Seeing Roy's disheveled appearance, Legion Commander Gabreles had many complaints, but he couldn't show them too much.
He frowned, feigning concern, and reprimanded Roy, "How could you... just leave the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp like that? And with all your forces? This is blatant dereliction of duty, a complete lack of teamwork! Your Mine Guard Regiment now belongs to the Darkness Gate Guard of the Gorfito War Zone. This is the gateway from the Dark Land to the Elf Continent. I don't need to elaborate on how important this place is, do I? Commander Roy, I now order you to immediately halt your current operations. You all must stay and guard the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp!"
Roy's expression was somewhat strange. He stared at the Legion Commander Gabreles and said seriously:
"Commander, I have already arranged for squads of warriors to patrol the Expeditionary Force camp. Our mission to clear out the Dark Creatures outside the valley is to ensure that the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp is not discovered by Dark Creatures!"
"... Besides, when the Mine Guard Regiment was stationed at the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp, you personally promised me that the Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard Regiment were allowed to enter the Dark Land to hunt Dark Creatures!"
Legion Commander Gabreles recalled that he had indeed promised Roy three conditions: the first condition was to provide the Mine Guard Regiment with the Tree of Life Sap, and the first condition had already been fulfilled.
The second condition is that the Mine Guard Regiment are allowed to go hunting. Right now, Commander Roy is organizing people to enter the Dark Land, and it seems that I really have no reason to step forward and stop them.
Although Legion Commander Gabreles was now somewhat regretting his decision, he couldn't take it back...
Seeing that Legion Commander Gabreles clearly didn't want to delve any further into the matter, Roy immediately approached him and pressed, "Commander, when will the five thousand Magic Cloak we requested from the military Legion Commander Gabreles be delivered to the Expeditionary Force?"
"It's still unclear. You know how remote the Gorfito Canyon is. The Logistics Regiment currently providing supplies to the Gorfito war zone isn't able to deliver all the necessary supplies to us on time," Legion Commander Gabreles said to Roy, glancing down at the steps.
Roy had heard Chief of Staff Kampferfred say this to him quite often at the Padesto Silver Pegasus Military Department...
Now that Roy heard the same thing from Legion Commander Gabreles, Roy had a smile on his face, but in his heart he was complaining that Legion Commander Gabreles was not keeping his word.
Seeing the Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard Regiment returning to the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp in droves, Legion Commander Gabreles coldly returned to Gorfito. The Silver Moon Elf commanders also passed through the Darkness Gate back to their camp in Gorfito Canyon.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a good look at the harsh environment of the Expeditionary Force camp. The magical beams shot out from the sixteen Magic Tower enveloped the camp, making it look like a huge cage...
Moreover, the image of Commander Roy covered in blood and in a sorry state was deeply etched in the minds of these Silver Moon Elf captains.
The Silver Moon Elf commanders began to ponder whether they could outperform Commander Roy if they led their infantry Guard Regiment into the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp. "As you all have seen," they said, "the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp currently only has one Mine Guard Regiment stationed outside the Darkness Gate. The defenses there are quite weak. Therefore, I hope you can all lead your Guard Regiment into the Expeditionary Force Expeditionary Force to enhance its overall defenses!"
Back in the Main Hall hall of the Goddess of Freedom Temple, Legion Commander Gabreles, sitting on his chair on the high platform, addressed a group of Silver Moon Elf commanders below.
However, the Silver Moon Elf commanders had already seen Commander Roy's disheveled appearance, so they were naturally unwilling to agree to Legion Commander Gabreles's request.
Unfortunately, the Elven Guard of Gorfito Canyon were pieced together from various parts of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.
If these Silver Moon Elf captains refused to obey the orders of Legion Commander Gabreles, the legion commander really had no way to do anything about it.
The Silver Moon Elf Infantry Guard Regiment was unwilling to enter the Dark Land. The reason given by the Silver Moon Elf commanders was that the Darkness Qi would make the Silver Moon Elf Warrior Silver Moon Elf Warrior and extreme, easily causing irreversible mental damage to them...
As the Silver Moon Elf commanders left the Main Hall hall one after another, Legion Commander Gabreles sat on the high platform with a livid face.
He suddenly realized that the Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard Regiment had never mentioned these reasons, and Commander Roy had not complained about anything other than making three requests.
The only thing that displeased Legion Commander Gabreles was that the Half-Elf Warrior also didn't take him, their commander, seriously.
Even though he was the legion commander, he couldn't give orders to those Half-Elf Warrior.
This is precisely why he flew into a rage at the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp today.
Although he was the legion commander of the Gorfito war zone, he did not have a single true direct legion. These ragtag Guard Regiment all had complicated backgrounds. Even the Mine Guard Regiment composed of Half-Elf was backed by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion and Earl Swynborne.
Thinking of all this, Legion Commander Gabreles closed his eyes, feeling somewhat powerless.
He pondered the series of adjustments he had made to the Gorfito war zone, and it seemed that he could make arrangements in advance.
The most important thing is to send a group of Silver Moon Elf Warrior who are willing to enter the Dark Land into Gorfito. Then he will personally form these Silver Moon Elf Warrior into a core battle group. The Darkness Gate is the place where he— Gabreles —rose to power.
Although Legion Commander Gabreles was keen to move the Mine Guard Regiment away from the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp to prevent them from making any rash moves.
However, there is currently no one available, so the Mine Guard Regiment can only hold their ground at the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp.
In fact, the Legion Commander Gabreles was also under some pressure when he mobilized the Mine Guard Regiment to enter the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp.
On his desk lay a letter from the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, containing Vice Commander McCauley's inquiries about some deployments at the Gorfito military headquarters. One of the questions was about why the auxiliary troops of the Second Silver Pegasus Knight Regiment Legion Commander Gabreles had been transferred to the Dark Land, even though they were an untrained unit whose sole purpose was to serve the Second Silver Pegasus Knight Regiment...
Furthermore, the sealing process of the Darkness Gate has been extremely difficult, which has put increasing pressure on Legion Commander Gabreles.
After Legion Commander Gabreles left the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp with a group of Silver Moon Elf commanders, Captain Timothy led a group of Half-Elf officers to surround Roy.
Everyone expressed strong dissatisfaction with Roy's reckless behavior last night.
By this time, the Elf Warrior who were preparing to enter the Dark Land had returned to their tents and removed their full armor, gathering around the camp's pool in only Light Leather Armor.
Roy sat alone on the low wall of the pool, recounting to the Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard Regiment the events that had transpired in the wilderness of the Dark Land over the past two days and one night.
When the Elf Warrior heard about Roy's thrilling battle with the Dark Scythe, they broke out in a cold sweat.
Some Elf Warrior were even secretly grateful to Evele's Demon Hunter squad; if they hadn't arrived in time, Roy might have died in the wilderness of the Dark Land, never to return...
In fact, Roy also felt that yesterday's battle was quite thrilling.
On the way back to the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp, Roy also reflected on his rash actions.
As the leader of the Mine Guard Regiment, he had absolutely no need to confront these dangers directly.
His most important task now is to assemble an elite demon-hunting squad.
The Dark Creatures in the Dark Land are a significant source of wealth for the Demon Hunter Squad.
Roy's biggest worry was that hunting Dark Creatures without authorization would attract the attention of high-level Dark Creatures. However, he now knew that the Dark Lord of this area had died at the hands of the Temple Expeditionary Force, and the area was now a chaotic zone, which had even attracted a large number of Demon Hunter.
The Mine Guard Regiment Demon Hunter Squad hunting Dark Creatures in this area and shouldn't encounter any problems for the time being...
After recounting his experiences from the previous day, Roy stood up from the low wall of the pool and sincerely addressed the thousands of Elf Warrior gathered around it. "I assure you all that the upcoming hunt for Dark Creatures Dark Creatures not be a solo operation. To ensure a more successful hunt, I plan to assemble an elite hunting team..."
Outside the camp, it was pitch black, with the occasional wailing of Dark Creatures echoing through the air.
Not a single Dark Creatures can be seen near the Darkness Gate Expeditionary Force Camp...
A group of Elf Officer from the Mine Guard Regiment were gathered around Roy, listening attentively to Roy next plan.
For the Demon Hunter, the entire Dark Land is a huge goldmine, with abundant hunting resources. Roy figured that since he was going to stay here for three years, there was no reason not to go outside the Expeditionary Force camp to reap some rewards.
As for the gains...
Roy took out half a scythe, a precious material harvested from the Dark Scythe. This half of the scythe exuded a dark aura, and its pure white bone blade was exceptionally sharp.
Captain Timothy took the half-scythe and pulled a piece of tough leather strap from his waist. He would even use this strap to sharpen his daggers. Now, he tried to cut it with the half-scythe, and a small piece of the leather strap was easily cut off.
The scythe is extremely sharp and is a bone blade that doesn't require much polishing. Simply choose a comfortable handle and embed the half of the bone blade into it to obtain an exquisite magical bone blade, especially since the bone blade is filled with a rich dark aura.
Captain Timothy held the broken half of the scythe in his hand, examining it repeatedly, before finally concluding that a magical bone blade made from this bone scythe might be the most suitable weapon for assassins.
Captain Timothy led over seven hundred Dark Moon Elf Warrior out of the Pattington Plane and has been hiding his identity within the Mine Guard Regiment for the past few months.
Therefore, the Silver Moon Elf Officer, including Earl McCauley, Legion Commander Gabreles, Commander Malthus Viscount Philek, only knew that the Mine Guard Regiment had five thousand Half-Elf Warrior, but they did not know that among these Half-Elf Warrior were seven hundred Dark Moon Elf assassins.
Because some Half-Elf also have dark skin, these Dark Moon Elf Warrior are not very conspicuous.
Furthermore, they deliberately kept a low profile...
So none of the Elf Warrior in the entire Gorfito Canyon discovered that there was a Assassin Squad hidden within the Mine Guard Regiment.
It turns out that Dark Moon Elf Warrior are far more suited to operating in the Dark Land than Half-Elf Warrior. Whether day or night, these assassins can enter stealth mode at any time, which means that the Assassin Squad's combat power will be greatly enhanced...
Captain Timothy's eyes lit up as he looked at the broken scythe in his hand.
He asked Roy, "Is it difficult to specifically hunt Dark Scythe?"
Roy nodded and said to Captain Timothy, "In my several hunts in the Dark Land, this is the only time I've encountered the Dark Scythe. I reckon it's not a very common Dark Creatures..."
"Then it might be unrealistic to think about hunting down the Dark Scythe and giving the Assassin Squad a makeover," Captain Timothy said somewhat dejectedly.
Roy was taken aback by the fact that Captain Timothy would have such a plan.
"There's another way to equip the Assassin Squad with magical bone blades," Roy said to Captain Timothy.
"Boss, do you have any ideas?" Captain Timothy asked, puzzled.
"We can go to the market at the Wanderer Camp and maybe buy some!" Roy said casually.
"Really?" Captain Timothy asked with some surprise.
"If you want to confirm whether it's true or not, just go to the Wanderer Camp and take a look..."
Roy said smugly.
