415. Remnants of the rebel army
The griffons flew north along the Sudasso Mountains, each carrying heavy armaments and supplies, and they were exhausted even as they glided through the high Aeolian Sphere.
Seeing that the griffons were unable to reach the Northern Black Iron Mine before dark, the chief of Tiprado suggested to Roy that he stay in the North Mithril Mine for a night.
The griffons landed in the North Mithril Mine, and the headhunters in the wilderness outside the castle were constantly peeking at the North Mithril Mine, and when they saw a large group of griffons descending from the sky, they turned around in fear and fled north.
The headhunters, who were reluctant to leave the Sudazor Mountains, saw these griffons, and without any hesitation and without looking back, they went into the mountains.
The griffons were powerless to pursue the headhunters in the mountains, and they had been flying since dawn in the morning, and though they had two breaks in between, they were now a little overwhelmed, and the griffons lay on the ramparts, clenching their necks to keep their fluffy feathers out of the cold north wind.
The half-blood elven hunters made a big deal of their trip to the First Mine, each of them changed into long leather boots, and got a brand new dagger, and the quiver that had been shot was filled with arrows, which were much better than the feathered arrows they had used......
……
Sabrina spent the whole day in the North Mithril Mines.
Due to the deterrence of the griffons, the Northern Mithril Mine was not disturbed by headhunters for a whole day.
This gave the half-blood elves in the North Mithril Mine a good night's rest, and by the time the sun was about to set, many of the half-blood elves had just woken up.
Seeing that everything was normal on Sabrina's side, Roy hurried down the wall.
"What about the griffon's dinner? There should be no meat stockpiles on the North Mithril Mine. Roy said to Kaka, who was following behind.
"We all brought some jerky, and in the evening, the griffons didn't eat much." Kaka responded.
It was getting dark, and apparently the griffons did not have the strength to fly out into the wilderness to hunt the one-horned bison, which had to eat meat for every meal.
Seeing Kaka say this, Roy nodded and continued to walk down......
He needs to arrange a dinner for the half-blood elven hunters, as well as a place to stay for the half-blood elven hunters.
Casually, you should also learn about the current state of material reserves in the North Mithril Mine.
At this time, Channing. Miss Sitney, dressed in a long, fluffy skirt with a thick wool cloak over it, and two retinues approached Roy.
Before Roy could speak, he heard Miss Channing say, "Boss Roy, dinner is ready, please invite the griffin knights to the restaurant on the second floor." ”
Roy turned to look at Kaka behind him and said to him, "Kaka, you take everyone to the second floor for dinner." ”
"Okay, Roy!" Kaka agreed.
Roy stopped in front of Miss Channing and said to her, "How are the supplies on this side of the North Mithril Mine being consumed, and how long can the food reserves last?" ”
"There are many more, and it is estimated that they will last at least two months." Miss Channing replied.
Seeing that Roy was a little surprised, he explained: "This is the Sudasso Mountains, where supplies are scarce, and every mine owner will hoard a large amount of daily necessities, but some materials may not be stored in the warehouse. ”
Then she asked:
"Boss, do you still need to prepare a place for these griffons?"
Roy nodded and said, "Then trouble Miss Qian Ning and arrange some dormitories for them." ”
Channing saluted Roy, and then said to Roy, "The dormitory is ready, in the row of rooms on the third floor of the castle annex." ”
Walking down the stairs, Roy found some wounded half-blood elves lined up in the hallway, waiting at the door of a room......
Roy pointed to the room and asked Miss Channing, "Where is Tiffany?" ”
Miss Channing nodded, and then said, "Tiffany magicians have been busy here all day. ”
Royce stopped at the door for a while, but unexpectedly did not hear the cry of pain like killing a pig from the room.
In fact, although the wound can heal quickly, the pain will also increase exponentially......
On the side of the North Black Iron Ore Field, Tiffany has been in charge of treating the half-blood elf warriors who have been slightly injured, but even if they are lightly injured, they will scream in pain when they are treated by Miss Tiffany.
But this time, Roy stood at the door and listened for a long time, and he didn't hear the wounded half-blood elves crying out in pain.
Roy was a little curious, so he pushed the door open, and there was a melodious singing voice in the room, the song was not sung in Elven language, but the voice was high-pitched and melodious, and it reached Roy's ears, and immediately made him in a trance, as if flying into the clouds.
However, the power of the holy light in his body turned into a warm current and rushed into Roy's body, causing him to wake up immediately.
Miss Channing, who was following Roy, staggered and fell forward at once.
Worried that her head would hit the ground, Roy reached out and scooped her up.
Miss Tiffany heard the door open and quickly stopped singing, she was sitting in front of a hospital bed, and when she saw Roy standing outside the door, she said hello and said, "Roy, are you back?" ”
Roy helped Miss Channing to a bench at the door of the room and told her to rest there.
On the hospital bed, a half-blood elf wounded man was sleeping with a deep wound on his arm, and Tiffany was cleaning it with salt water.
When the wound was cleaned, the half-blood elf warrior did not react at all, and not only that, but after receiving hydrotherapy to treat the wound, the half-blood elf warrior also fell into a deep sleep, until the wound was completely bandaged, and Miss Tiffany called out in the ear of the half-blood elf wounded:
"Come on, the wound on your arm has been bandaged, you can go......"
With just such a call, the half-blood elf warrior lying on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes, then sat up from the bed, stared at the wrapped arm, and thanked Miss Tiffany very politely: "Thank you, Miss Tiffany!" ”
"Be careful the next time you fight, and be careful not to do strenuous exercise in the last few days, so as not to tear the wound!" Miss Tiffany admonished.
Roy only then figured out that Miss Tiffany, in order to prevent the wounded from feeling pain, had used the Siren's song to put them to sleep......
Miss Channing prepared a simple dinner, and Roy, Sabrina, Miss Tiffany, Chief Tiprado, Kaka, and Little Eugene sat at the table, which had fruit and fish on a plate and steaming lemon tea.
Miss Tiffany's whispered to Roy as she ate the fish, "Roy, can you get them to stop making this fish so salty when you buy these dried fish from Castletown Harbour?" ”
“……”
After all, this is the Northern Mithril Mine in the Sudazor Mountains, and the entire Mithril Mine has gone silent in the evening, after the headhunters have been scared away by the griffons.
With these griffons on board, Roy is convinced that the headhunters are doomed to fail, and life in the mines will gradually get better......
……
The next day, the griffons returned to the North Black Iron Mine.
This time, Kaka took Roy around the southern part of the Gathi Mountains, and Roy finally got a clear idea of the distribution of headhunters in the southern Gathsy Mountains.
The headhunters here are still scattered, and they can be seen everywhere in the wilderness, they chase the herds of bison and sheep, and many of them carry a cow's leg on their shoulders, and they will flee when they see the griffin......
They have a lot of experience dealing with the rain of arrows shot down by the griffons.
As soon as they notice a griffin in the sky, the headhunters will scatter in the wilderness, some will hide behind the rubble, some will even put the leg of the ox on their head, or simply plunge into the waist-deep bush......
These arrows pose no threat to them.
Once the griffons lowered their flight altitude, the power of the short spears in the headhunter's hands was revealed, and these short spears were still somewhat threatening to the griffins.
As a result, the griffons wandered south of the Gassier Mountains, and their deterrent power to these headhunters was decreasing.
Most of the time, the griffons still play a reconnaissance role, they will carry the assassin team to land near the temporary camp of the headhunters in the evening, and the Dark Moon Elf warriors will take advantage of the night to eat away at these lone headhunters in the wild.
Under the pressure of the assassins and griffons, the headhunters who entered the southern part of the Gathssi Mountains began to decrease, and the headhunters continued to gather in the southern and middle black iron mines, because they found that with the protection of the castle, the elven warriors of these assassin squads did not dare to kill at all.
At the same time, because the griffons always catch these one-horned bison in the wilderness......
Even though the wasteland was filled with herds of cattle and sheep, with the appearance of the griffin regiments, the herds began to migrate southwest.
Griffons can fly far away, but headhunters cannot, and in the southern part of the Katsier Mountains, close to the plains, there are fewer and fewer prey, and there are thousands of headhunters gathered in the two black iron mines
In order to escape the assassination of the headhunters, they all retreated to the mines, and the black iron mines of Shivana and O'Leary Hills became the gathering places of the group of headhunters.
Due to the presence of griffons and assassin squads, the headhunters had no way to enter the Sudasso Mountains......
But there are only a few hundred half-blood elf warriors on this side of the North Black Iron Mine.
It is easy for these elven warriors to defend the castle of the Northern Black Iron Field, but it is impossible to take back the South Black Iron Mine in Shivana Mountain and the Middle Black Iron Mine in Aurelian Mountain, even with the help of griffons and assassins.
During this time, the headhunters were not idle, although they were huddled in the mines, and they forced the gray dwarves in the mines to help them build armor tablets.
Although there is no armor forging process in the Black Iron Mine, it is possible to forge black iron ingots into hard armor pieces.
These headhunters also put some thought into it, they cut small holes around the armor pieces, and then connected them with iron chains, and draped this armor pieces on their bodies, which became armor between chain mail and plate armor, although it was a bit bulky, but the effect of preventing arrow rain was very good.
The number of headhunters wearing this armor increased day by day, and the griffin hunters were no longer any threat to them.
Roy was at a stalemate with the headhunters on the side of the North Black Iron Mine, and as the headhunters forged their unique black iron armor, the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the headhunters.
Roy's side was also carrying out a plan to clear the wilderness, and he asked the village chief of Tiprado to drive the cattle on the edge of the plains to the southwest with a group of griffins......
It is believed that soon the headhunters trapped in the two black iron mines will have a food crisis, so that a headhunter team will enter the Mangyuan to find food, and then the assassin team will have an opportunity.
It's just that before Roy's plan to clear the wall was successful, a message from the military department came from the North Mithril Mine:
At present, most of the mines in the hinterland of the Pajisto Plateau and the northern part of the plateau have fallen, and only the southern line of the Sudasso and Gassi Mountains is blocking the headhunters from the south, and as the headhunters in other regions continue to move south, the entire Sudazor Mountains will be surrounded by the headhunters. Headhunters will approach the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau from other mountain ranges and valleys......
The Army's advice to Roy was to abandon the large area north of the Gassi and Sudazor Mountains and retreat to the southern part of the Sudazor Mountains.
"It seems that the Silver Pegasus Legion is not in a position to send troops to support the Pagisto Plateau for the time being......" Roy said to Woods beside him, standing at the head of the city.
Woods looked at the empty plains in the distance, and said with some chagrin, "As long as we hold on for a while, we will definitely be able to drive the headhunters in these two black iron mines out of the Kathi Mountains." ”
"I didn't expect this group of headhunters to be so large......," Roy said with a sigh.
Mu Lin walked up from under the city wall and reported to Roy, "The half-blood elf warriors have all packed up, do we really want to withdraw from here?" ”
"Evacuate to the North Mithril Mine first, and then observe the situation, I am afraid that the other headhunters will take a detour into the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau, and then we will not be able to withdraw even if we want to." Roy said with a frown.
This time, the headhunters' retaliation can only target the half-blood elves on the plateau, most of which are currently concentrated in the southern part of the Pajisto Plateau, and are extremely defenseless......
The three of them were silent at the same time, although they didn't want to give up the black iron mine here, but in the end they still had to evacuate here.
Unless these half-blood elven warriors leave in griffons, the headhunters in the two black iron mines are destined to bite off a piece of flesh from the half-blood elven warriors.
Roy was about to discuss the evacuation plan with the village chief of Tiprado, when he saw Kaka swooping down from the sky on a griffin, and as soon as the griffin landed on the city wall, Kaka couldn't wait to wave an envelope and shouted to Roy:
"Roy, there's a letter from the North Mithril Mines."
Roy walked up quickly, took the letter handed by Kaka, and opened the parchment of the envelope, the handwriting on the letter paper was very beautiful, and at a glance he knew that it was written by Miss Channing.
After reading this text message, Roy was a little stunned......
"What's going on, Roy?" Woods couldn't help but ask.
"Channing said that the remnants of a half-blood elven rebel army have arrived in the Northern Mithril Mines......" Roy said with a strange expression.
