399. Between the hurried
Roy was in a hurry to go to the black iron mine this time.
He led a team of a hundred half-blood elven warriors and a hundred Darkmoon elven warriors along the northern section of the Sudaso Mountains, and after only half a day's walk, he entered the edge of the Doroji Wasteland, a barren meadow full of thorny rattans.
These rattans are thin and tough, and when a running war horse stumbles on this rattan, it is easy to fall and turn over on his back.
Only the one-horned bison, with tough armor pieces on their lower legs, can tear off the thorny rattan without hurting their legs.
The team walked more than twenty kilometers north along the edge of the Doroji Heath before reaching the southern part of the Gatsy Mountains.
The mountain was covered in a patch of blue-purple moss and bushes, and the entire mountain wall was full of strange colors, while the mountain peaks were dark in color, like a whole piece of hard magic black iron.
This time, Roy left in a hurry, and even many things in the North Mithril Mine were not dealt with, so he could only put it on hold for the time being.
Roy left all the half-blood elf warriors he brought from the second mine in the North Mithril Mine, and the half-blood elf warriors brought out this time were all recruited from the Mithril Mine, they were mine slaves in the mine two weeks ago, and now they have become half-blood elf warriors......
There is a real shortage of manpower......
If you don't take the mine back, the black iron mine may be discarded.
Roy wouldn't feel sorry for the Black Iron Mine, but the half-blood elf miners in the mines would probably be scattered across the wilderness of the Katsy Mountains, and it might be a hassle to gather them when the time comes.
When the Berkeley Captain left, he didn't take the Mithril Bars from the mine, which were disposed of by Roy himself, and the magic crystals exchanged for were used to form the Half-Blood Elven Guard.
The Gathi Mountains stretch across the central hinterland of the Pagisto Plateau.
The southern part of the Sierra de Gassi is close to the Sudasso Mountains and the Doroji Heath, so the Northern Mithril Mine is close to the South Black Iron Mine of Kathsi, and even much closer than the South Mithril Mine, which is only two days away on horseback.
This vein of black iron does not run through the entire Kassi Mountains.
Only the three snow-capped peaks at the southern end of the mountain range contain some black iron ore, or these three dark snow-capped mountains are made of black iron ore, and the mountains are full of some black iron ore.
The three main peaks are Shivana, Aurelian, and Edas. Arranged from south to north, Mount Sivana is the southernmost and Mount Edas is the northernmost of the three snow-capped peaks.
The South Pyrite Mine in Kassi is located in a col on the sunny slopes of Mount Sivana.
The Central Black Iron Mine in Kathi is located in the southeastern part of the Aurelian Mountains.
The North Black Iron Mine in Kassi is located between the Idas Peak and the Aurelian Mountains.
This time, Roy arrived first at the Black Iron Mine in the south of Gathsi, and the half-blood elven warriors formed a long line on the mountain road, and Roy rode at the front of the group.
A castle was also built in the black iron mines of South Gathsi, which was smaller than the castle in the South Mithril mines, and the entire castle was made of black iron ore, which seemed to merge with the snow-capped peak in front of him.
Seeing Roy riding close to the mine, the gate of the castle of the Black Iron Mine suddenly opened, and a team of Silver Moon Elf warriors rushed out of it, and the officer at the head was the leader of this guard group.
When he saw Roy, he only said, "I'll leave it to you, and I'll take the mine owner and his family back to Paddestow!" ”
After the leader of the guard regiment finished speaking, some Silver Moon Elf warriors rode out of the castle, and some of the mine owner's family members also rode horses and waited outside the castle with luggage.
Roy nodded at him.
Apparently the head of the guard regiment heard something and took care of these things beforehand.
Roy saw that the elven warriors of the guard group began to withdraw from the castle, so he hurriedly led the half-blood elven warriors into the castle and rushed to various posts in the castle, mainly to prevent the miners in the mine from taking the opportunity to start a riot.
The castle is built on a hill, and even half of the buildings are hidden in the mountain, which is connected to the black iron mine.
Roy walked through the living room to the back of a long corridor, at the end of which the large iron door was open, and inside was a huge space like a cave in the belly of a mountain, about the size of a small opera house, and in it was a very solid furnace, and hot magma was still flowing from it.
A pungent smell of sulfur filled the hallway......
The living quarters of the castle were already in shambles.
With the withdrawal of the Silver Moon Elf Guard, all the valuable things that can be taken away from the castle have probably been taken.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the black iron mine in the back......
By the time Roy led the half-blood elven warriors to completely control the black iron mine, the Silver Moon Elf Guard was gone.
Then Roy announced in public that the mine would be taken over by him, and then he urgently recruited the half-blood elf miners in the black iron mine, although the half-blood elf miners were freed, but because it was currently in a special period, all the half-blood elf miners had to join the half-blood elf guard.
The half-blood elven miners were accustomed to obedience and had no objection to Roy's requests.
There are even some half-blood elf miners who continue to dig for black iron ore in the mines......
Hearing that if they can survive this time, they can regain their freedom, and the half-blood elf miners have become more obedient.
In this way, after Roy quickly took over the black iron mine in the south of Katsi, he immediately brought the half-blood elf warriors to the black iron mine in Kathi, and quickly took over the black iron mine in Kassi.
……
In the darkness of the night, Roy led a hundred Darkmoon Elf warriors through a mountainous area in front of him, and in front of him was the Black Iron Mine in the north of Gathi.
He has taken over two black iron mines non-stop, and this one in front of him is the last one, and the war horse under his crotch is already running all over the sweat, and he keeps spitting hot air while running, and it can be seen that the war horse has also reached the limit of physical fitness.
Roy injected a ball of holy light into the body of the war horse, and sure enough, the situation of the war horse was much better......
The Dark Moon Elf warrior behind him had already been thrown a hundred meters away by him.
Looking at the sky that was about to get dark, Roy decided to work harder, and once it was dark, he couldn't continue on his way.
A team of Dark Moon Elf warriors also ran miserably, and the two captains, Timothy and Tennison, followed behind, licking their dry lips and making eye contact, some of them couldn't understand that Roy's riding skills were very ordinary, but he was leading in front all the way.
Finally arrived at the North Black Iron Mine in Gathi before dark, the Silver Moon Elf guards had already lined up to evacuate from the castle, Roy rushed up to think about these Silver Moon Elf warriors and asked, "Where is your commander?" ”
The Silver Moon Elf Warrior pointed inside and said, "The head of the regiment is distributing daily necessities to that group of half-blood elf miners in the castle, where are you from?" We're about to evacuate from this mine......"
"I'm here to take over this mine!"
Roy said aloud, and the man had already rushed into the mine.
Obviously, the leader of the guard regiment was worried that after they left, the mine would be in chaos, and the half-blood elf miners would suffer, so he gave them some supplies before leaving.
When they leave the Ironite Mine, these half-blood elves will also leave the Ironite Mine.
