409. Trapped Battle

Roy's fears were fulfilled the next afternoon.

The Dark Moon Elf warriors who had been sent out to scout the outside a few days ago ran back to report to Roy that the two black iron mines in the south and central had been breached by the headhunters.

The highland headhunters besieged the two black iron mines, and the battle lasted for three days and two nights, and just yesterday evening, the two castles were captured by the headhunters almost simultaneously.

The half-blood elven warriors who defended the city were all killed.

The headhunters cut off their heads, put them in wooden cages and hung them on the city walls.

After the headhunters seized both mines, the absconding mine owner returned to the black iron mine and took over the management of the mines.

Of course, it is impossible for headhunters to send the black iron mine out for nothing.

The headhunters help the mine owners retake the Black Iron Mine, and the mine owners have to create weapons and armor for these headhunters.

Of course, the existing labor in the castle is actually the gray dwarves, who are not only skilled in metallurgy, but also know how to black.

The Plateau Headhunters did not continue south......

For a week in a row, a steady stream of headhunters from the north gathered in the castle of the snow-capped mountains, and almost every day, hundreds of headhunters passed through the mountain road at the bottom of the slopes of the northern black iron ore field.

The half-blood elven archers on the tower count these highland headhunters from the north every day.

Roy was sure that there were at least five thousand headhunters in the two black iron mines.

I didn't expect so many headhunters to go south, and outside the castle of the North Black Iron Mine, there were at least a thousand plateau headhunters......

Perhaps it was the failure of the headhunters to attack the city last time, which made their next operation against the North Black Iron Mine a little timid.

In recent times, the headhunters have only besieged the castle of the North Black Iron Field.

In fact, Roy's castle in the North Black Iron Mine is like a nail stuck in the eye of the highland headhunters, and if it is not pulled out, the highland headhunters will not be able to continue southward at all.

So when the headhunters captured the two black iron mines in the south and middle, the pressure instantly shifted to Roy's North Black Iron Mine Castle.

The number of highland headhunters stationed on the hillside opposite the castle is also multiplying.

Almost overnight, more than 2,000 highland headhunters gathered on the opposite hillside, a large area of black press.

The second siege of the North Black Iron Mine broke out on the third day after the loss of the South and Central Black Iron Mines.

A large number of headhunters crossed the terraces and laid siege to the castle from three directions.

Despite the meticulous restoration of the city walls, it still could not stop the athletic headhunters, who could rush to the top of the city with their hands and feet with their blades in their mouths......

Then the headhunters discovered that during the day, the assassins rarely appeared.

On the contrary, at night, headhunters will become cautious, and even go out in groups.

If they are not careful, they will have their throats slit by assassins hiding in the shadows.

……

The battle on the side of the castle in the North Black Iron Mine is becoming more and more fierce day by day, and the city walls are about to be broken.

Roy moved all the wounded half-blood elven warriors to the mine in the backyard.

The shouting and killing above their heads no longer affected the half-blood elf warriors.

Except for the elite warriors who were on duty on the city walls, everyone else in the castle basically ate, slept, and regained their strength......

From time to time, some white ash would fall from the roof of the restaurant, and Roy was in line.

A lump of dirt fell from in front of him, and Roy looked up at the cracked vaulted ceiling, wondering how long the castle would last.

Days of fighting have left the castle scarred......

Roy took a cup of fruit tea from the cook's hand and walked to a table with scones.

Moira, Claire, and Miss Tiffany were sitting around the table, and the three of them looked a little listless, and it could be seen that they had little appetite, and their eye sockets were blue, and they were tired, but they still had work to do.

Roy took the plate, walked between the three of them, sat down on the bench, took a sip of fruit tea, and then said:

"Things are getting worse and worse here lately, but as long as we wait until the evening, the assassin team will be able to find a breakthrough, I want to send you out first, as long as you keep going south and find the Sudazor Mountains, you can return to the southern part of the Pagysto Plateau along the edge of the mountains, I hope you can get out of here as soon as possible."

"What about you? Will you come with us? Miss Tiffany stared at Roy.

"How is it possible, there is a lot of mess here that needs me to clean up." Roy whispered.

"So what! What are you going to do when we're gone? Waiting for the North Black Iron Mine to be breached by plateau headhunters? Miss Tiffany asked.

"I may take a group of elven warriors and continue to deal with these plateau headhunters." Roy tore a piece of wheat cake and put it in his mouth, saying as he ate.

"We still want to stay because we can still help you." Claire put her arm around Roy's shoulders and said to him.

"But Sabrina and Woods are both injured, and they need to recuperate for a while......," Roy hesitated.

"It's not that serious, as long as I don't meet the head hunter leader, I think I can still fight them."

The voice came from behind Roy, Sabrina's voice.

With a tight bandage around her shoulders and a plate in hand, Sabrina walked around the table and sat down across from Roy.

The wound on her shoulder was from yesterday's battle with a headhunter leader who, as he was dying, stuck a short flying spear in Sabrina's shoulder......

In the fighting in recent days, Woods has been injured one after another, and the large and small wounds on his body have accumulated together, and he can only lie in bed to recuperate today.

The wound on Sabrina's shoulder was dealt with by Roy himself, Sabrina's injury was not as light as she said, the short flying spear almost pierced her shoulder, such a serious injury, even with Roy's Holy Light Technique and Miss Tiffany's Hydrotherapy Technique, it would take at least a week to recover.

Sabrina and Woods were both wounded, and the defenses on the walls of the North Black Iron Mine were suddenly much weaker.

"I'll check the wound for you in the evening, the hydrotherapy is painful, but it doesn't leave a scar......" Miss Tiffany said to Sabrina as she ate the grilled fish.

Roy hurriedly ate his lunch, first rounded the mine in the backyard, checking on the health of the wounded soldiers, and then climbed the city walls.

At present, almost all of the Plateau Headhunters choose to attack the city during the day, so that they will not be disturbed by the assassins of the Dark Moon Elves......

When Roy climbed the city wall, he saw several highland headhunters just climbing over the battlements, holding their blades in their hands, forcing the half-blood elven warriors stationed on the walls to retreat.

Skillfully opening the Book of Judgment, the Holy Prayer was chanted very smoothly, the divine pattern shone brightly, and a small hammer of holy light flew out, smashing the headhunter who rushed to the front to the ground......

Roy's movements were very skillful, but unfortunately the power of the holy light in his body was drained, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He quickly gave up his plan to throw out another small hammer of holy light, and took out the sacred scepter stained with a layer of black and purple blood, and Roy rushed forward with an arrow step, blocking a 'Shun Slash' for a half-blood elf warrior who was about to be unable to support it.

The divine scepter in his hand bloomed with a faint holy light, and seeing another group of headhunters climb the city wall, Roy hurriedly moved closer to that side......

Several half-blood elven warriors were forced to retreat by the group of headhunters.

Roy gritted his teeth and chased after him to help the half-blood elven warrior break out of the siege.

On the side of the castle, a fresh army of troops, full of strength and spears in their hands, as soon as they appeared, they forced the highland headhunters to the side of the battlements.

Miss Tiffany, holding a wand, also came out of the staircase.

Seeing the scuffle at the head of the city, Miss Tiffany did not hesitate to pull out a magic scroll, and as the magic scroll unfolded, a hoarfrost appeared under Miss Tiffany's feet, and as this hoarfrost continued to spread outward, part of the city wall was rendered into hoarfrost.

Miss Tiffany's eyes sparkled with magic.

These hoarfrosts condense into leaf by leaf ice crystals, which are as sharp as knives.

The half-blood elven warriors wore armor and leather boots, and these ice blades naturally could not hurt them, but those highland headhunters were not so lucky, they climbed the city barefoot, although the soles of their feet were covered with calluses, but they still had blood flowing on these ice blades.

The headhunters of the plateau immediately shouted and kept gathering people.

Before the headhunters' companions could climb up, the spear-wielding half-blood elven warriors had already taken the headhunters down the city.

……

It can be seen that these half-blood elf warriors guarding the city walls are growing rapidly in battle.

Many half-blood elven warriors have been injured, and after a little healing, as long as the injuries are not particularly serious, they continue to stick to the city walls.

Although the castle can be defended for a while, it has no power to rush out.

There were too many headhunters outside the castle, and the headhunter leader planned to attack the city......

There were not many armaments and materials stored in the Black Iron Mine Field, and they had been guarding the North Black Iron Mine for nearly a week, and the supplies in the warehouse were also rapidly depleting.

Roy knew that if he couldn't find a solution, the food here would soon run out.

Due to the lack of supplies, the castle was not destined to be held for long.

Every day, the half-blood elven warriors on the city walls hope that it will get dark sooner, and when it is completely dark, the assassin team will be free to enter and leave the castle.

The highland headhunters will obediently retreat to the opposite hillside......

Now these headhunters have learned wisely, and they rarely attack cities at night.

But even so, every night among the highland headhunters, some fighters will be inexplicably cut their necks and then die quietly.

Captain Timothy and Vice Captain Tennison lead a group of assassins to attack the headhunters in the dark.

Assassin warriors and headhunters are engaged in frequent battles around the Idas Snowy Mountains.

The fierce counterattack of the Dark Moon Elf warriors at night will always make the highland headhunters unable to deal with it.

……

Since the castle of the Northern Black Iron Mine had not yet been captured, the highland headhunters did not dare to continue south.

The siege of the castle of the North Black Iron Mine lasted for nine days.

There are more and more plateau headhunters staying on this side of Idas Snow Mountain, and Roy also found that the important parts of the plateau headhunters who have recently ascended to the top of the city actually have some armor metal plates tied to their bodies......

These metal plates are basically made of black iron, which is very strong.

Seeing that the team of highland headhunters on the opposite side was growing, they also added some improvised armor and armor pieces to their bodies.

In each siege, both sides suffered casualties.

But there are only three hundred half-blood elf warriors in the castle, and the half-blood elf warriors are frequently injured, and there are fewer and fewer elven warriors who can stand on the city wall to resist the plateau headhunter.

The outer wall of the castle was riddled with holes by headhunters, and headhunters continued to climb the castle until the headhunters captured all four of the castle's arrow towers......

The headhunter stood on the turret with a short flying spear, and the walls immediately fell into the hands of the highland headhunters.

Roy could only take the half-blood elf warriors and the Dark Moon elf warriors who could still fight, and retreat to various rooms in the castle.

The headhunters were not familiar with the inside of the castle, and nearly a hundred headhunters rushed into the castle and were broken by the Dark Moon Elf assassins one by one, and none of them could get out alive......

The headhunters did not dare to enter the castle easily, so they could only attack the castle rooms one by one.

And Roy and the elven warriors guarded some corridors and doorways, and the two sides fought fiercely in the castle of the North Black Iron Mine for two days, and the headhunters stormed the castle gate, and a large number of headhunters poured into the castle.

As a last resort, Roy could only lead the remnants of the elven warriors to retreat to the black iron mine in the backyard.

There was little food left in storage, and the mine was filled with wounded elven warriors.

Roy is thinking about how he can keep out the vicious headhunters out there......

Captain Timothy strode in from outside the mine with more than two dozen Darkmoon Elf warriors, and he came directly to Roy and said to Roy:

"Boss, we can't continue to spend here, once the headhunters occupy the mine wellhead, we will be blocked here, and we will withdraw from the North Black Iron Mine at night with us, even if we are fighting in the mountains outside, we have the power to fight with the headhunters, as long as we can retreat to the side of the Sudaso Mountains, we can reorganize a battle group against the headhunters."

“……”

Roy turned his head to look at Woods, who was sleeping on the blanket, after this guy was injured, he was forced to turn into a giant bear last night and fought for most of the night, and then he fell unconscious, and poured some sap from the tree of life to no avail.

Roy looked at Sabrina, Moira, Miss Tiffany, and Claire, who were also sitting next to the stone wall.

His heart was shaken a little......

Roy pointed to Moira and Sabrina and said, "Timothy, you help me get them out......"

Before Roy could finish speaking, there was a sudden huge earthquake outside the mine, and the entire black iron mine was shaking.

A half-blood elf warrior quickly ran in and shouted at Roy, "Boss, go out and have a look, there are a lot of griffons outside the mine, and there are half-blood elf warriors sitting on those griffins......"
