377. The War in the Queens Islands
The first phase of the second mine is nearing completion, including the expanded mine, the new stables and the bow training ground.
Roy prepares to install two elevators in the mine, and the drawings of the elevators have now been handed over to the old dwarf Putgis.
In addition, the newly built stables and bow and arrow training grounds were about to be shut down due to a lack of sufficient timber.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of forest resources on the Pajisto Plateau, and the current gathering place of half-blood elves is in a large mountain.
There are many dense pine and fir forests between the mountains......
So Roy handed over this batch of wood to Mu Lin to procure, so that the half-blood elves in the mountains could use the existing resources in exchange for more benefits.
……
Speaking of those half-blood elves who hid in the mountains, the gathering places in the mountains are still extremely short of all kinds of materials, and they lack everything......
During Roy's time in the Pajisto Plateau, his junior magic herb business was not interrupted.
Reshander also sent a magical herb to the city of Paddestow last month.
The people who picked up the goods were Woods and Claire.
Woods couldn't have done the deal alone.
Even if he had Roy's business license, he was not eligible to pass through the dimensional portal.
With Claire's help, he was able to receive the herbs in Padstow.
Roy's magical herb business in Castletown already has a stable sales channel.
When Woods got this batch of magic herbs, he only needed to follow the list of catalogs provided by Roy and send these low-level magic herbs to these magic medicine shops.
Roy also knew that the magical herbs sold by the half-blood elves of the Pagisto Plateau could not feed all the half-blood elves in the gathering place.
At best, it will only relieve some of the pressure on the life of the half-blood elves......
So, Roy asked Mullin to recruit half-blood elven warriors from the gathering place to form the guards of the second mine, and it went very well.
After Mu Lin returned to the gathering place, she easily recruited three hundred young half-blood elves.
Roy had to pay this group of half-blood elf warriors a considerable amount of commission every month, and the other guards formed would have to fight against the headhunters on the plateau in the future, and for these two things alone, Roy won the support of a large number of young half-blood elves.
Having money to make and being able to fight the headhunters of the plateau is what the young half-blood elves hope for but fail to do......
Of course, the half-blood elves were able to run to the mines as guards, and there was also the reason why Roy rescued the half-blood elf miners in the two mines, and the half-blood elves felt that Roy was trustworthy.
In addition to building stables and shooting ranges, Roy is also preparing to build supports for all the tunnels underground.
These projects require Roy to purchase a large amount of pine wood from the half-blood elf gathering place, and once these transactions are completed, it is estimated that the embarrassing situation of the half-blood elf gathering place can be completely solved......
……
In the eyes of Judge Arillo, the second mine is a bustling scene......
Inquisitor Yalig was in the fortress courtyard and met Roy.
When the young mine owner saw the investigation warrant in Investigator Yalilo's hand, he only smiled faintly, and then said, "Both the first and second mines will actively cooperate with your investigation. ”
Inquisitor Arilo nodded, and he glanced around in the courtyard.
There are indeed many half-blood elves living here, and some half-blood elf warriors even gather around the railing on the second floor, smiling and watching the excitement......
The investigation report applied to the military headquarters by the 3rd Mine Guard Regiment was purely redundant.
Even if this report is handed to it, it is estimated that it will not have any effect.
"You're just in time, there's something on my side that I'm about to complain to you." Roy returned the warrant to Investigator Arilo and said to him with a smile.
Although Investigator Yalilo kept a straight face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Inquisitor Arilo followed Roy to the front of the material warehouse on the first floor of the mine fortress, where Roy asked the keeper to open it.
The warehouse was stocked with apples and elf biscuits, as well as a few bags of flour and a dozen barrels.
The apples were stored in wooden boxes, the elf biscuits were stored on the shelves by the wall, and bags of flour were piled up in the doorway.
The supply warehouse doesn't look very big, and there are only a handful of apple chests.
Investigator Arillo's face changed slightly, judging from these apples in the inventory of the second mine, it was not even enough for these half-blood elves in the mine to eat for two days, and those elf biscuits could only last for half a month at most, and other things, Judge Arilo didn't even bother to look at them.
"This is your storehouse for food?" Inquisitor Arilo asked Roy with a serious expression.
"That's right."
He pointed to a row of apple boxes on the shelves and asked directly: "Your food reserves are seriously insufficient now, have you applied to the military department for supplies?" ”
Roy replied, "I applied two weeks ago. ”
Inquisitor Yalilo took a deep breath and asked, "So the logistics department hasn't replenished the food supply all the time?" ”
"I don't know why, but it does."
Investigator Arilo had vaguely guessed what the problem was at this moment......
Leaving the supply warehouse, Roy took Investigator Arilo to the cafeteria on the second floor of the fortress, where lunch was being prepared, and he saw a soup boiling in three pots with a slightly sweet and sour taste.
Investigator Arillo walked over and could see the red berries on the canteen shelves that hadn't been used up, some of which still had turquoise leaves on them, but they looked very fresh.
Roy said to Investigator Arillo:
"Recently, we basically eat these red berries for lunch here, the half-blood elves who went out to collect red berries in the morning have not returned, these berries were collected yesterday, and now they are still very fresh, this red berry is a bush berry unique to the plateau, most of the elves who live here are half-blood elves, and they are used to eating ......"
"But in the area around the mine, there are fewer and fewer of these red berries."
As he spoke, he pulled Inspector Arillo to sit down at the table, and then asked the cook to bring two servings of sour soup made with red berries.
Roy's gaze fell on the sweet soup in front of him, and he said to Investigator Arillo:
"If after the mine was taken over by me, I would often worry about what I would eat tomorrow, then I would rather not take the third mine, at least when the guard group manages the mine, the third mine will not worry about what to eat tomorrow anyway."
Inquisitor Arillo sat across from Roy, and he didn't even know how to take that ......
"Why do you want to keep them starving?" Roy smiled and said.
Investigator Yalilo's face turned slightly red, and when he said this, he was a little slapped in the face.
Roy glanced at the door of the restaurant, pointed to his heart, and then to the half-blood elves outside, and said unceremoniously to Inspector Arillo:
"If I had enough capacity, I'd take them to Barrier Town, where they can at least eat apples!"
Arilo was speechless, and he felt his face burn a little.
The typical thing on the mining side is that for some reason, he was stuck by the logistics department, so Roy was reluctant to take over the third mine.
The two sides have been at a stalemate, and neither is willing to compromise.
Eventually, the guards of the Third Mine couldn't wait any longer, so they wrote a report and handed it to the Provisional Military Headquarters of the Valley Camp......
Roy spread his hands out and said directly:
"Otherwise, just wait for the head of Berkeley to come back, and maybe these problems will be properly resolved."
Of course, Arilo knew that Commander Berkeley could easily solve this matter, he knew too well the faces of those silver moon elves in the logistics department, and always thought that Xiang, as the quartermaster of the logistics department, should eat more and take more, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take advantage of it......
They were now waiting for Roy to bow his head and take the opportunity to fix Roy so that he could become more obedient.
But Roy's side would rather reduce his daily food consumption, and would rather go outside the mine to collect red berries to fill his stomach than stalemate with the other party.
The second mine is used to form a guard.
With the handwritten signature of the Earl of Swinburn, the food supplies for the mine guards were all provided by the Silvermoon Elf military.
The logistics department thought that cutting off the food supply would make the other party bow their heads......
But those guys in the logistics department forgot one thing, it's true that they are half-blood elves, but they are half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau, and they have long adapted to the highland life here.
Arilo even dared to assert that even if the logistics department cut off the food supply, they would not starve these half-blood elves to death.
It's a bit of a hassle at best.
Now, the Silvermoon Elven Guards were chained to death on the other side of the mine, and this intractable nuisance was being pushed around, left and back to Arillo.
Arilo was annoyed......
It's so good, these guys have to stretch out their hands randomly, and they stretch their hands so long......
……
Roy handed the warehousing list from the storekeeper to Arillo, and said:
"The list I signed, the quantity of all the supplies, is very different from the bill of goods handed to us by the logistics department."
"How much we get, it's clear and written on it, and if we don't get it, I definitely won't sign the list."
Inquisitor Arilo looked down at the two lists of supplies, the types of items on the lists had not changed, but there were some nuances in the amounts.
The midday sun shone through the window on Arillo's face, and Arillo felt a little roasted.
In fact, he had also heard of some dirty things in the logistics regiment, but he had not made such a big fuss this time before......
He unbuttoned his neckline, drank some of the red berry broth, and promised Roy:
"Got it, we'll look into it."
Roy and Investigator Arillo said this just to wait for Investigator Arillo to say this.
Seeing that the purpose had been achieved, Roy got up from the bench and responded with a smile, "Then you can always come to me if you need anything,"
With that, Roy left the restaurant.
Arilo took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, thinking about how to report it......
……
The next day, Investigator Yalilo left the second mine.
A week later, Roy received news that the lieutenant had been transferred out of the Partington plane, and was said to be in the Queen Ivanie Islands to take part in the battle against the grey dwarf bandits.
Regarding the gray dwarves in the Queen Evanie Islands, Roy had also asked the head of Berkeley some inside information.
The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion is not unable to defeat those gray dwarf bandits, but there are too many of them, similar to whack-a-mole, the war here is pressed, and the war over there comes out again, and the Silver Pegasus warriors are also physically and mentally exhausted.
But the current situation is that those gray dwarves can't be cleaned up, and they have to invest a lot of military power every day, just to put the sea area between the Queen Ivanie Islands and the Elven Continent.
Roy still has some ideas about the gray dwarves in the Queen Ivanni Islands, and he wants to suggest to the Earl of Swinburn that these gray dwarf captives be transported to the Partington plane, and now that the mines on the Pagisto Plateau are seriously short of miners, it is appropriate for these gray dwarf robbers to mine ore in the mines.
Along with the news of the adjutant's transfer from the Partington plane, there was also a large amount of daily necessities to the second mine.
It included a large amount of breadfruit and apples, which immediately solved the food crisis in the second mine.
But Roy didn't see the head of Berkeley......
In addition to these apples and breadfruit, Roy received a letter from Innohaus.
It was a letter from Wiesel to Roy, and it contained almost no nonsense, just a list of prisoners, including the names of the crimes they had committed, and the sentences they would be sentenced to.
This list belongs to those Darkmoon Elf prisoners in the Second Mine, but I didn't expect Vizel to actually do it.
