The gates of the fortress in the First Mine were full of elven warriors who had come to see them off.

The cold wind in the mountains blew on the face, wet and cool, the slopes were covered with moss like a carpet, and on the winding mountain roads, the ranks of the logistics regiment were stretched for a long time.

After entering the Pagisto Plateau, the rugged mountain roads made it impossible to drive horse-drawn carriages, and the transport team of the logistics regiment was an all-packer team.

The nearly 300 private soldiers in the mine were all disarmed, dressed in gray linen robes and untied ropes.

The privates walked in long lines on the rugged mountain roads, and the Grantham mine owner was among them, dressed in linen robes of the same color as the privates, with dirty faces and a somewhat embarrassed look.

However, in the mine, the family members of the Grantham mine owners rode on the same horse in pairs, and the horses of the logistics team were all docile old horses, as long as someone led the lead horse in front, the team could follow one horse and go forward obediently.

Captain Berkeley rode his horse to the rear, turning and waving to Captain Allig......

Roy stood in the crowd at the gate, watching the logistics group drift away, before turning back to the mine in the inner courtyard, where he was going to exchange gem ore with the prisoners and gray dwarves at the bottom of the mine.

Next to the mine today, there are several boxes of ordinary fruits, which are packed in wooden boxes, and they are piled up in large piles.

These were all transported from the rear by the logistics regiment, and the city of Padestow was rich in apples, but not on the Padesto plateau.

Due to his recent performance, Roy was personally appointed by Captain Yalig as the leader of the Mine Guards, a team of eight elven guards who alternate between day and night.

As the leader of the Mine Guard Group, Roy didn't need to be at the head of the mine all the time.

Most of the time, he was preparing to trade supplies in the evening.

As soon as the private soldiers in the mines and the families of the Grantham mine owners left the mines, the inside of the fort became quiet, and the fort was full of empty and messy rooms.

Roy received a large pile of supplies and stockpiled them next to the mine.

In this way, after his underground supermarket opens, he doesn't need to go to Captain Yalig to sign, as long as he receives the gem mine, Roy will order someone to send all the items on the list to the mine, and there will definitely be no delay.

This kind of trading of ores for the necessities of life, Roy is talking about integrity.

As long as there is a gem mine to send it, there will be a reward.

Roy knew that the elven prisoners from the Eternal Night Forest needed fresh fruit, and that the grey dwarves were heavy drinkers, so the large wooden chest was always full of gem mines.

In fact, because there are silver Pegasus warriors everywhere on the Pagisto Plateau, the head of Berkeley is not worried that those plateau hunters hiding in the shadows will suddenly appear, if they really dare to run out, as long as they fire a magic flare into the air, and soon the silver Pegasus warriors will come over.

However, this time the logistics group did not take much spinel ore, and a large amount of ore is still in the mine's warehouse.

……

Soon after the departure of the logistics regiment, the battle situation of the cavalry vanguard regiment on the front line was soon heard.

Roy thought that after the cavalry vanguard group arrived at the mine, the Silver Moon Elf army would capture the mine with great momentum, but the battle report from the front line surprised all the elven warriors in the reconnaissance team.

The capture of the second mine by the Cavalry Vanguard did not go well.

The owner of the Second Mine was very prescient in the construction of the fort, and he added eight sky-shooting crossbows to the four corners of the wall at the top of the fort.

It was these sky-shooting crossbows that made it impossible for the Silver Pegasus warriors to get close.

At the same time, the mine was built so well that as long as the gates of the fortress were tightly closed, the cavalry vanguard could not storm the fortress for a moment.

The Cavalry Vanguard Regiment raided the second mine, carrying only a small amount of supplies.

A large amount of supplies are still stored in the warehouses of the First Mine, and the logistics regiment has also sent a large number of war supplies, which must be delivered to the battlefield in time.

The owner of the second mine not only raised a personal army of nearly 600 elves, but also mobilized nearly 500 half-blood elf miners from the mine, and these armed forces held the city wall day and night.

Captain Heckles could only stand on the hillside and blow the cold wind......

After learning that the owner of the Grantham mine and the private army of the mine had left the mine, he ordered Captain Yalig to send three hundred elven warriors from the reconnaissance team to the battlefield with a large amount of supplies.

Captain Hercules was even ready to prepare for a long-term siege of the second mine.

On the side of the mine fortress, Captain Hercules decided to leave several reconnaissance teams to guard the mine.

After receiving the order from Captain Herkles, Captain Yalig hurriedly called a meeting of the captains of the reconnaissance team.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone already knows that our cavalry vanguard regiment is not going well on the battlefield ahead, and the mine owner of that mine launched a counterattack against the cavalry vanguard regiment......"

"Commander Heckles hopes that we can take these supplies and quickly reinforce the battlefield ahead."

"This matter cannot be delayed, we will take these supplies and set off tomorrow morning and rush to the battlefield ahead."

"Of course, more than half of these reconnaissance teams in front of me will have to leave here."

"The elven team that stayed behind not only had to guard the mine, but also was responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the mine, and then I recited the names of the team leaders who stayed behind."

"Captain of the Seventh Squad...... Jones, the leader of the 10th squad...... Captain of the 14th Squad. ”

The elven captains who were named stood up one after another, their faces showing subtle bitterness.

None of them wanted to stay in the mines, and they all felt that it would be the best errand if they could follow Captain Yalig to the battlefield.

However, Captain Yalig stepped forward and comforted the leaders of the reconnaissance team who came forward one by one.

"The rest of the reconnaissance team will prepare today, and we will leave the mine tomorrow morning." Captain Yalig commanded from the room.

The captains who were named sighed, and the captains who followed Captain Yalig to the front line were smiling......

For a moment, Captain Yalig's room was filled with mixed joy.

Captain Jones was a little speechless, this kind of duty thing actually fell on his head again.

"I've done some research this time, and I hope you will do your part to keep this mine safe......" Captain Yalig said.

Several captains hurriedly responded, "Got it, Captain." ”

……

Hearing that among the several reconnaissance teams left behind, there was the 10th reconnaissance team, and Roy was relieved to stay next to the mine and did not go to pack his luggage.

This was the fifth time Roy had cantilevered his arms out of the mine, and it was a very heavy crate filled with spinel ore of different qualities.

According to the exchange details, Roy packed the fruit and ale into wooden crates, and then put them in the mines.

There was another howl of ghosts and wolves from the well......

As it gets dark quickly, Roy stores the gem mines in the warehouse and returns to the lab to rest.

Captain Yalig took away half of the reconnaissance team early the next morning, along with a large amount of armaments and supplies.

Roy follows Captain Jones and sees off the Scout Brigade.

Then he stood at the gate of the city, and looked up at the nearly seven-story mine fortress, the protruding rocks on the surface of the walls looked neat, and the whole fortress looked like a large square chimney.

The fortress was strong, so Captain Hercules would draw a group of elven warriors from the mine......

"Roy, do you think those highland headhunters will show up?" Lambo leaned into Roy's ear and asked in a whisper.

"Probably not!"

In fact, when answering this sentence, Roy was also comforting himself.

It's almost an empty city......

If a large number of highland headhunters suddenly appeared outside the mine, Roy knew that they alone would never be able to stop them.

……

The logistics regiment was about to arrive at Camp Vale, and the Commander of Berkeley intended to reorganize in the Camp in the Vale before the Grantham Mine Owner and his family regrouped and led them out of the Pagisto Plateau.

The mine bootleggies were walking to the valley camp, so the team walked slowly.

The distance from the valley camp to the first mine is not far, nor is it close, it only takes half a day if you ride a horse, but it can take four or five days to walk on your legs.

And along the way, the private army of the mine was also exhausted......

The mountain wind was howling, and it was the moment before dawn, and the elven warriors in the tent were sleeping soundly, and the elven warriors who were guarding around were also wrapped around thick cloaks, curled up together to keep warm, and everyone was a little drowsy.

He didn't even notice the appearance of a black-pressed plateau headhunter on the horizon in the distance.

They had just walked out of the mountains.

All the headhunters crept close to the temporary camp of the logistics regiment, and those headhunters were agile and soon reached the camp.

The headhunters wore leather boots and short blades around their waists.

Two headhunters were lying behind a rock, and one of them was holding a longbow in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, aiming at the elven warriors of the logistics regiment fifty meters away.

The elven warrior had no idea of the impending danger.

These headhunters are coated with a layer of pot ash on their faces, even on their teeth.

Waiting for the headhunters to touch the side of the camp one after another, along the way quietly solved the elf warriors in the three sentry posts, these elven warriors almost all died at the hands of a headhunter, he was in the dim before dawn, like a dark shadow, constantly flowing forward, everywhere he went, the elven warriors were cut throats by daggers.

There was no sound.

One of his hands was on the mouths of the elven warriors, and he lay on the ground, holding them down and slitting their throats with a dagger until the blood ran out.

It wasn't until they reached the edge of the makeshift camp that the headhunters rushed out like cheetahs.

They rushed into the tent set up by the elven warrior and stabbed their swords at the elven warrior who was sleeping soundly......

For a while, screams rang out one after another.

There was chaos in the camp.

……

In the last two days, the head of Berkeley has always had a bad premonition.

He would have the feeling that something was staring at him for no apparent reason, but every time he looked around, he couldn't find the eyes behind him.

So recently, he hasn't slept so steadily.

As he lay asleep in the tent, he suddenly woke up from his nightmare, and then he sat up sweating profusely, and through the gap in the tent curtain, he found that it was not yet dawn outside, and he crawled out of his sleeping bag.

When camping in the wilderness, he rarely takes off his leather armor.

The sword stood next to the tent, and he grabbed it in his hand, and then slipped out of the tent.

The lights and shadows in his eyes looked like cheetahs, but Captain Berkeley knew how could there be so many cheetahs on the plateau?

Even if there is...... Nor will the camp be attacked at this time.

The head of Berkeley, having realized that something was wrong, grabbed the brass whistle that hung around his neck, put it in his mouth and blew it with all his might......

'Hiss-hiss......'

That high-pitched, shrill sound streaked across the pre-dawn night sky.

At this time, those headhunters were already rushing to the tent of the camp, and at the same time, the elven warriors of countless logistics regiments woke up from their sleep, everyone did not take off their leather armor, grabbed the long sword next to them, and got out of the tent and strangled with those plateau headhunters.

There are no fancy moves on both sides, everyone is fighting for their lives, and the blade is stabbing towards the vital point, and it will definitely not use the slightest softness.

The sudden battle threw the camp into chaos.

……

The Grantham mine owner opened his eyes, and he heard the chaotic fighting outside.

The two half-blood elven warriors beside him, both of whom were the best warriors in the private army in the mines, had been by his side for the past few nights.
