The inner courtyard of the mine fortress was filled with Silver Moon Elven warriors, and Captain Yalig was surrounded by elven warriors in the center.

A total of 103 elven warriors died in last night's battle, including three scout team leaders.

The Scout Brigade lost nearly a fifth of its elven warriors, something that had not happened since the Battle of Queen Evannie Island.

In addition, Captain Yalig also brought another bad news, when Captain Berkeley led the logistics team to the valley camp, he was also raided by this headhunter team, and the entire logistics team suffered heavy losses.

Captain Heckles is currently leading the elven knights to retreat to the valley camp, abandoning plans to capture a second mine.

The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion will send two investigators to investigate whether Captain Heckles is derelict in his duties.

The defeat of the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment on the Pagisto Plateau had seriously affected the reputation of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

Several of the leaders of the reconnaissance team stood at the front, and the captain of the 14th reconnaissance team said:

"Captain Yalig, we are a reconnaissance team, not a guard force, this time the plateau headhunters sneak attack on the mine fortress, we must not forget it like this, we have to go after and kill that group of plateau headhunters!"

"Yes, we're going to hunt down those highland headhunters!" The other elven warriors responded.

"Even if you want to chase those plateau headhunters, you have to take care of your injuries! This time, I despised this group of headhunters a little, and I have to pay a lot of responsibility for losing this battle! Captain Yalig said to himself.

Captain Yalig inquired in detail about the whole process of the highland headhunter's sneak attack on the mine fortress.

He even called Roy over and asked him in person for some details about the headhunters he found in Warehouse 2.

Of the four surviving elven warriors of the 10th Scouting Team, there happened to be two who guarded the mine with Roy, and they were almost the same as Roy described.

……

On the third floor of the fortress, in the room of Captain Yalig.

Captain Yalig patted Roy on the shoulder and said to Roy:

"Roy, the Scout team may be moving out of this mine at any time, but I want you to keep an eye on this mine and keep it running as smoothly as possible."

Roy was completely dumbfounded......

He didn't want to stay on the Pagisto Plateau forever, but Roy couldn't say no at this time.

Captain Yalig did this, obviously because he wanted Roy to get out of touch with the reconnaissance team and avoid being held accountable by the investigators.

But if Roy had promised Captain Yalig to take care of the mines, he wouldn't know when he would be able to get out of the Pagisto Plateau.

He had originally come to the Cavalry Vanguard as a guide, but Captain Heckless did not lead the way with Roy. Now he has somehow become the manager of the spinel mine, and he has taken over in the worst of the war.

Captain Yalig could see that Roy didn't want to manage the mine, but he didn't have a good way, there was no suitable person around him, and since Roy was doing a good job, at least he didn't have to worry, he would starve the prisoners in the mine to death......

Roy looked at Captain Yalig and found that the Silver Moon Elf had a serious expression, his brows were tightly locked, and the words of refusal came to his lips and were swallowed back by him......

"Captain Yalig, are you asking me to manage the entire mine?"

Captain Yalig said: "You can raise any difficulties, and I will try my best to help you solve them......"

Roy scratched his head and said, "The manpower on this side of the mine is the biggest problem, although those prisoners and gray dwarves live under the mine, but in order for the mine to operate normally, it needs a group of people. ”

Captain Yalig shook his head and said, "I can't give you any manpower!" What is the current situation of the reconnaissance brigade...... I think you're also well aware that I can apply to the logistics team for you to get some personnel, aren't you familiar with the half-blood elves here? Can you ask them to come and help you? ”

"Okay...... I can give it a try! ”

Roy knew that it was impossible to refuse, so he agreed to it.

……

Leaving Captain Yalig's room, the smell of blood in the hallway was strong.

The reconnaissance team brought back a batch of supplies from the battlefield, which could only be stored in a warehouse on this side of the mine for the time being.

The gem mines at the gate of the mine fortress were all cleaned aside, and the city gate was reopened in the morning, but unfortunately the three heavy gates were all destroyed, and there was no spare in the warehouse, so they could only be left open.

As for the gem mines, which had been drenched in fire oil and burned for half a night, the skin had turned grayish-white, and there were cracks on it, and it looked like it should have been discarded, piled up in the corner of the wall and left unattended.

The cavalry vanguard regiment failed to capture the second mine, and morale was very low.

The reconnaissance team returns to the mine fort and finds that the mine fort has been attacked by headhunters......

The Silver Pegasus warriors who came to support them had already flown out to find the whereabouts of the headhunters.

Now the elven warriors of the Scout Brigade are still cleaning up the battlefield in the mine fortress......

They washed the walls with water, pale red blood flowing down the outer sides of the rock walls, and occasionally finding half a stump from the corner, much to the disgust of the Silver Moon Elf warriors.

Roy walked down the stairs, and the inner courtyard was filled with the corpses of the Silver Moon Elves, and he even knew that those corpses belonged to the Elven warriors of the Tenth Squad.

Roy leaned against the edge of the mine, one hand holding the rocker arm next to the mine, and began to count the supplies in the wooden box.

Lambo's arms were coated with herbs and tightly wrapped in bandages, looking a little ridiculous......

"What did Captain Yalig ask you?" Lambo asked Roy curiously.

"That's how it was last night!" Roy took out the list of supplies and began to check it carefully.

"I've heard that the Cavalry Vanguard Regiment failed to capture the second mine, so are we going to evacuate from here?" Lambo asked, with some concern.

"Who did you listen to?" Roy asked rhetorically.

"Well, that's what the elven warriors of the Scout Brigade say." Lambo responded.

"I don't think I'll give up this mine for the time being."

With that, Roy continued to count the fruits in the wooden box, and he had twenty-three wine glasses ready.

……

In the evening, Roy hoisted a whole crate of gem ore from the mine, and then he hoisted some fruit and ale.

A group of silver Pegasus warriors flew back from outside, and they flew out along the two ridges, searching for a whole day, but they could not find the shadow of the headhunters.

Roy stored the gem ore in Warehouse 2.

Although there was such a big disturbance in the mine fortress, the mine still had to be mined normally.

The agreed fruit and ale should also be paid as agreed, and these things should not be discounted at all.

There is a shortage of manpower on this side of the mine, and Lambo has to help next to the mine even though he has an arm injury......

Roy didn't know when the Scout team would leave here, so the recruiter gesture was necessary, and he couldn't run back to Fortress Town to recruit half-blood elves, so he could only discuss with Lambo.

"Lambo, Captain Yalig wants me to manage this mine, but the current situation is that there are not enough people on this side of the mine, and Captain Yalig refuses to give me some manpower from the reconnaissance team, he wants us to recruit some people ourselves. So I wondered if I could recruit some half-blood elves from the Gathering to help? ”

Roy whispered to Lambo.

Lambo readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go back to the gathering place tomorrow to see if it's possible to call some helpers." ”

Roy didn't expect Lang Bo to agree so quickly, and some of the words he prepared were useless, and finally he only said: "Okay, you should be careful on the road." ”

"Wait until I get back......"

Lambo smiled and responded.

Roy thought for a while, but couldn't help but remind: "You must explain the situation here to Lei Shande and them clearly, so as not to make a wrong decision over there......"

Lambert leaned against the mine and sat down on the stone floor, his bandaged hands on the edge of the shaft.

He turned his head to look at Roy and asked him, "Roy, do you think the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion will be evacuated from the Pagisto Plateau?" ”

Roy said: "Of course not, I guess they may bring in a more elite army, and before that, the cavalry vanguard may have to try to save face." ”

"Then what's there to worry about." Lambo laughed, then whispered to Roy, "...... And joining us is not involved at this time...... Do you want to get involved in the Silver Pegasus Legion's successes? Who's going to pay attention to us, the Half-Blood Elves? ”

I didn't expect Lambo to have so many considerations......

Roy thought about what Lambo had just said: 'Will the Silver Pegasus admit defeat and leave the Pagisto Plateau in disgrace?' ’

Of course not!

Judging from the current battle situation, the Earl of Swinburn only sent a vanguard regiment over, and it was obvious that the Earl of Swinburn was a little underestimated.

By the time the elite troops of the Silver Pegasus Legion reach the Pagisto Plateau, the tide of battle on the plateau may be reversed overnight.

……

The next afternoon, the Luna priests and investigators arrived at the mine fort.

The two priests of the Temple of the Moon, dressed in beige robes, walked down the makeshift steps with straight faces on their horses......

They didn't even stop at the mine fortress, and walked straight to the hillside outside the fortress where the elven warriors were buried.

Seeing the priests of the Moon Temple coming, except for the elven warriors who were on duty, the other elven warriors followed the priests to the cemetery next to the mine.

The priests of the Temple of the Moon wore robes on their heads and hoods covering their faces, and two priests stood in front of the tomb, each holding a jug in their hands, and constantly pouring water from the jug onto the tomb.

The priests also chanted a requiem incessantly.

Roy stood at the back of the crowd, and he could clearly feel the soul power surging from the graveyard......

A faint mist actually rose around the tomb, and the surroundings became much darker, and the two priests drew divine patterns with their fingers, and then the moonlight fell on these tombs, and the resentment hovering in front of the tomb was quickly dispelled by the moonlight, and the power of the soul became more pure......

The souls of these silver moon elves have turned into small elves like colorful butterflies, constantly flying around the moonlight.

When the two priests saw that the ceremony was almost complete, they each held a bouquet of roses, and the flying elves gathered around the bouquet and danced around it......

The first time Roy attended the funeral of the Luna priests, an elven warrior secretly told Roy that the elves would be taken back to the temple's moon well by the two Luna priests.

Those young elven females who wanted to conceive would run to the Temple of the Moon to pray, and then drink a cup of the Fountain of Life.

The ceremony was soon over, and the Luna priests had no intention of staying here, as they were carried back to Padestor by the Silver Pegasus warriors......

The two investigators had arrived with the priests of the Moon Temple, and the two of them were in no hurry to leave the mine fortress.

Captain Yalig personally arranged the best room on the third floor for the two of them, but the two investigators refused, and they found a room in a remote corner of the second floor, and the two of them cleaned up the room and set it up into an interrogation room.

Then, starting with Captain Yalig, he called the officers of the reconnaissance team one by one into the room and was questioned by the investigators.

Every officer came out of the room with a somewhat ugly face.

A soldier of the 10th Reconnaissance Team came out of the room, and Roy, who was waiting on a bench in the hallway, said:

"Roy, it's your turn......"

Roy saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was a little ugly, so he was also a little nervous.

Standing in the doorway, Roy took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Come in......" came the investigator's voice.

Roy pushed the door open and walked in, and found that the room was simple, with only three chairs except for two single beds against the wall.

The two investigators sat opposite Roy and were slightly stunned when they saw a half-elf who looked like a human walking in from outside!

The two investigators were both Silver Moon Elves, and they wore noble insignia on their chests, but their appearance was very ordinary, always with a straight face, without any smile......

"You're Roy?" One of the investigators asked, somewhat surprised.

It should be wondering how there is a half-elf in the cavalry vanguard regiment......

Roy sat down across from the two investigators, first explaining why he was in the vanguard of the Silver Pegasus Legion, and then telling him a little about the night before.

Although Roy is also questioned by the investigators, Roy is currently the manager of the mine fortress, and he has other dazzling auras on him.

Not only was he the first to discover that the Plateau Headhunters had sneaked into the mine fortress through secret passages, but he also participated in the gate guard battle and kept a large number of Plateau Headhunters out of the gate.

Roy's record the night before was not as dazzling as that of Captain Jones, but the investigators couldn't have found fault with him.

So Roy passed the review with ease.

Captain Yalig and the other officers of the reconnaissance team did not have the good fortune of Roy.

Each of them had to go through at least three rounds of investigations, mainly to investigate whether the officers had been derelict in their duties.

The investigators were stationed in the mine fort, and there was a tense atmosphere throughout the fort.
