372. Escape plan
The news that Roy had brought out the ten Darkmoon Elves from the mine immediately spread throughout the Second Mine, and then the incident also caused concern among the half-blood elves......
In their opinion, this is a precursor to the mine owner, Lord Roy, who is more willing to believe in the Darkmoon Elves, and it deserves the attention of all half-blood elves.
Roy was about to send someone to the warehouse to select ten sets of armor and weapons, when he saw Mu Lin lift the curtain from the door and break into the restaurant in a hurry.
"Roy, how are you ......?"
Before Mu Lin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Roy:
"Mu Lin, I just happened to be looking for you, you helped me select twenty outstanding half-blood elf warriors, and I will take them to the first mine."
Murreen froze in place, and she blurted out what she was about to say to Roy...... Swallow it back into your stomach.
"Uh...... Okay, okay. ”
Mu Lin said.
Then Mu Lin leaned over to Roy and asked in a low voice:
"What's going on at the First Mine?"
Because Mu Lin knew that there were at least three hundred half-blood elf warriors on the side of the first mine, but Roy gave up these half-blood elf warriors and had to mobilize people from the second mine, which was a problem in itself.
Roy pulled Mulling out of the dining room and said in the hallway outside the restaurant:
"The first mine has not been able to supply spinel ore normally, and I guess something must have happened underground, and I need to go into the mine to check the details to find out."
Mu Lin's eyes widened and she asked Roy:
"That's why you went to the well to recruit ten Dark Moon Elves?"
Roy turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes, without you and Captain Kepler, as well as his elite warriors, in order to be on the safe side, in addition to the ten Darkmoon Elf warriors, twenty of the best half-blood elven warriors are needed to go on an adventure with me." ”
"I'll go with you too......"
Mu Lin blurted out without thinking.
In addition to her straightforward personality, this girl is an adventurer by nature......
The worry on Mu Lin's face quickly dissipated, and she looked at Roy eagerly, but Roy said:
"Mu Lin, you have a more important task now!
The second mine is now under construction and the shaft extension will soon be connected to the mine.
When the time comes, you'll need to step up your efforts to guard the mines.
Previously, the shaft had only one gondola to connect the shaft to the upper and lower shafts.
Now that we've opened a staircase tunnel, it's easier to get into the mine, but it also means it's easier for them to get out......"
Hearing Roy say this, Mu Lin said with some reluctance:
“…… Well, I'll keep an eye on these Dark Moon Elves and Grey Dwarves. ”
Speaking of which, the half-blood elven miners in the second mine mine did not have any hostility towards the gray dwarf bandits, because these gray dwarf bandits did not have time to oppress this group of half-blood elven miners under the coercion of the Dark Moon Elves.
However, the half-blood elf mine slave is full of hatred for the Dark Moon Elf, and the grudge between the two sides has lasted for at least a few decades.
Obviously, the grievances between them are not so easy to resolve......
……
Ten Darkmoon Elves led their horses out of the gate of the Second Mine Fortress, and saw the rolling mountains and the vast wilderness in the distance, the sapphire-like sky and the clouds like galloping horses in the distance, and the herds of one-horned bison and jumping antelopes in the vast barren grass, and the air inhaled into their lungs was fresh and free.
A harrier eagle flew out from the cliff at the top of the mountain, its form disappearing from the craggy rocks in an instant.
A moment later, its gray wings flapped violently, and the harrier eagle flew up from among the rocks, clutching a fat hare in its talons......
The eyes of the Dark Moon Elves followed the harrier eagle far away.
Ignoring the Darkmoon Elves' longing for freedom, Roy touched the horse's stock with his whip, and the horse galloped briskly along the narrow gravel path of the ridge.
Thirty elven warriors in armor hurriedly rode their horses to keep up with Roy's footsteps......
……
Roy hurried to the first mine with thirty elven warriors.
Walking into the courtyard inside the fort, he saw Lambo standing next to the mine, worried, with only a few pieces of ore waste in the gondola.
There were even broken stone slags next to those scrap stones, and the empty wooden crates seemed to be putting on the most merciless mockery of Lambo......
A group of half-blood elves also rebuked resentfully:
"These gray dwarves and dark moon elves down there are just too much, do they want to strike?"
"Captain Lambert, you want me to ...... Tomorrow should cut off the food supply, let them starve for a while, and sober up! ”
Lambert looked up and saw Roy leading a squad of well-armed warriors through the fortress gate and into the courtyard, and knowing that Roy had made up his mind to go into the well to take a look, he said to Roy:
"We put food in according to the quota, but there is still no response......"
Roy handed the reins in his hand to the half-blood elf warrior next to him, walked straight to the side of the mine, glanced at the bottom of the black hole, then at the gondola, and said decisively:
"Without further ado, Timothy, your team will take the lead, be the first to dive into the well, remember to stay hidden throughout the whole process, if the other party arranges too many guards at the wellhead, send us a warning signal, you must also withdraw from the well, remember not to take risks, I will find another way to break through the defense of the shaft wellhead."
"Got it, Lord Roy." Timothy replied earnestly.
He was wearing a set of delicate armor and an elven sword at his waist, exuding an unconcealable battle intent on his body......
The boom can only hold ten elven warriors at a time, and the Dark Moon Elves are proficient in stealth, so Roy will let them take the lead.
In fact, Roy didn't think about whether Timothy would take several other Darkmoon Elves to defect once it was the Dark Moon Elves guarding the mouth of the shaft.
But on second thought, the chances of this kind of thing happening are really not very ......
As the ten Darkmoon Elf warriors entered the mine first, Roy waited for a short while, not waiting for the warning signal from below the mine.
Roy decisively took ten half-blood elf warriors to sit in the gondola, and this time Lambo personally manipulated the winch to put the gondola down.
Slowly entering the shaft, as the light became darker and darker, the temperature in the shaft slowly dropped, and the half-blood elf warriors were wearing fine armor, surrounding Roy, and Roy was not idle, one after another'power blessings' fell on the heads of these half-blood elf warriors.
The shaft in the first mine is shallower than the shaft in the second mine, and the further down you go, you will find obvious signs of dripping water in the rock formations on the four walls.
Entering the bottom of the shaft, Roy found that the gondola had landed firmly on a stone platform, and that there was a shallow pool around it, and a waterway flowed along the edge of the cavern to the depths of the cavern.
When Roy poked his head out of the gondola and looked inside the mine, a Dark Moon Elf showed half of his body from his hidden state and waved his hand at Roy, indicating that everything was safe in the mine.
Roy remembered that the Darkmoon Elf warrior was called Bessemer, and Roy gently climbed over the gondola and stepped on the ankle-length pool out of the shaft.
Ten half-blood elven warriors followed closely behind Roy.
Roy walked up to Bessemer's side and whispered to him, "How's it going inside?" ”
Bessemer didn't speak, but pointed inside, and Roy realized that the Darkmoon Elf warrior had actually taken control of the two gray dwarves.
The two gray dwarves were lying on the rocky floor, their eyes closed, presumably unconscious, their hands and feet tied together, and two sharp pickaxes by their sides.
Roy didn't expect the exit of the mine to be occupied by the gray dwarves.
Stooping and fumbling in the pockets of the gray dwarf's waist, he grabbed a large handful of dried mushrooms and dried moss, and sure enough, they had some food made of mushrooms and moss.
Roy couldn't understand why the Grey Dwarves had taken food and ale from the mines, and refused to provide spinel ore to the mines, which would only force the mines to stop trading food and ore.
Not a single remnant of spinel ore is visible at the head of the shaft......
Timothy walked out of the mine with a few Dark Moon Elves and whispered to Roy, "It's the Grey Dwarves who have taken over the dwellings in the mines, there are at least a hundred Grey Dwarves in it, and there are a lot of food hoarded inside. ”
The half-blood elven warriors were let go one after another.
This time, Lambo did not follow Roy's orders, and the boom went up and down eight times, and the three elven warrior teams brought by Roy entered the mine one after another, and Lambo also entered the mine with five half-blood elven warrior squads.
The shaft of the mine was crowded with eighty heavily armed elven warriors.
"Why did you come down with you?" Roy whispered to Lambo.
Lambo smiled and replied to Roy, "Together, it's at least a little safer." ”
Since there were so many elven warriors down, Roy didn't want to sneak into the mine to scout anymore, so he simply took the elven warriors to the depths of the mine.
……
The gray dwarves didn't expect that a group of elven warriors would actually come down from the mine.
And unexpectedly, the first batch of people to infiltrate the mine were actually ten heavily armed Dark Moon Elf assassins, which had never happened in recent decades......
There were only two gray dwarves guarding the mouth of the mine, and they were still dozing.
The first thing the Darkmoon Elf warriors did when they infiltrated the mines was to subdue the two grey dwarves silently.
At this time, a group of gray dwarves were still planning how to block the mouth of the shaft, and then hid in the depths of the mine's cavern, digging a passage to the surface.
They now have plenty of food in their hands, and when they run out of ale, the angry grey dwarves decide to dig a passage to the surface and escape from the ground......
They had been preparing for a long time, and they had accumulated hundreds of pickaxes in their hands.
With the half-blood elf miners leaving the mines, and the Darkmoon elf prisoners blocked in a mine, all threats in the mines have been cleared, and the gray dwarves have decided to carry out their escape plan.
