426. Horn of counterattack

The blood of the half-blood elven warriors stained the walls of the Silver Mines Castle red, and the corpses of some of the half-blood elven warriors still hung outside the walls.

The headhunters on the city walls have been killed by the rebel half-blood elven warriors, and now the half-blood elven warriors have stormed the castle and are chasing the headhunters hiding inside.

Captain Helik was covered in blood, with five short flying spears inserted into his shoulder, left ribs, lower abdomen, and thighs, and the blood stained the shaft of the spear red, and he sat on the wall with a pale face, and removed the cork of a bottle of healing potion, and poured the pale red liquid into his stomach, and a force suddenly grew in his body, filling the blood.

The guards on the side handed him another glass of diluted Tree of Life sap, and Captain Helik took it and drank it down.

Two half-blood elven warriors crouched in front of his legs, handling the short flying spears on his body for him.

In this siege, the head of the Helik regiment took the lead and led a team of half-blood elf warriors to rush up to the city wall from the front, and fought with the headhunters at the head of the city, until a large number of half-blood elf warriors rushed to the head of the city, and all the headhunters guarding the city wall were killed.

Exhausted by this time, Captain Helik sat by the battlements with the banner of the rebels beside him.

The banner embroidered with the elven dragon was blown by the wind......

Captain Helik spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, and the sap of the Tree of Life entered his stomach, only to feel that the strength in his body began to recover rapidly.

He clutched a short flying spear and pulled it out of his thigh with the help of his cronies' guards.

Blood quickly poured out of the hole, and another close guard immediately bandaged the wound tightly with a hemostatic bandage.

Captain Helik patted the shoulder of his cronies' guards, gritted his teeth and stood up from the battlements, walked to the edge of the wall, raised his long sword in his hand, and shouted at the half-blood elven warriors who continued to fight valiantly in the castle: "We fight for freedom!" ”

A group of half-blood elven warriors who were still fighting the headhunter knocked their opponents out of the way and chimed in, "We...... Victory! ”

This sentence seemed to have a magical power, which rekindled the fighting spirit of the half-blood elf warriors fighting in the castle, and screamed and rushed towards the headhunters, killing all the headhunters who were still stubbornly resisting.

All that remains in the mine is a group of rebel half-blood warriors covered in blood.

The rebel fighters smashed open the large locked iron gate behind the castle, and a foul smell came from inside.

The corpses of hundreds of half-blood elven miners who had begun to decompose badly almost filled the Silver Mine Cave......

In addition to the half-blood elven miners, the corpses of the gray dwarves can also be seen in the corpse pile.

The headhunters who stormed the castle killed almost everything that was alive in the castle, and now they are all dead in the castle.

The castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is built on a ridge that stretches outward in the middle of the Kaltim Mountains, where it is not a pass, but it is like a nail driven deep into the middle of the Kaltim Mountains.

The headhunters arrived from the north, destined to pass through the tundra next to the castle of the silver mines before they could reach the crow ridge in the south.

In this capture of the silver mines, the rebel army sacrificed nearly 400 half-blood elven warriors, and more than 800 half-blood elven warriors were wounded, while the headhunters guarding the castle were only 500.

……

News of the rebels' capture of the silver mines in the middle of the Kartim Mountains was soon sent to Roy through the griffin cavalry.

At this time, Roy was stationed at the foot of the mountain north of Ghost Crow Ridge with the mine guards, he has been busy reorganizing the mine guards in the past few days, and when he entered the Ghost Crow Ridge, he brought a total of 2,000 half-blood elf warriors, after the victory of the Battle of Ghost Crow Ridge, the half-blood elves gathered from all over the world took the initiative to join Roy's mine guards, and the number of these half-blood elves was about 1,500 people.

After the mine guards captured the Ghost Crow Ridge, the number of troops swelled to 3,500 at once.

It's just that the new half-blood elven warriors who have joined the mine guards have not yet been assigned weapons and armor, and they only have earthen spears and hunting bows, and then warblades taken back from the headhunters.

New armaments are being rushed in from the second mine.

Roy didn't expect that the victory in the Battle of Ghost Crow Ridge would have a chain reaction.

When the news of Captain Helik's occupation of the silver mines reached Crow Ridge, Roy had Kaka fly him high into the air to see the terrain at the southern end of the Kaltim Mountains.

The area between the Kaltim Mountains and the western mountains of the Pagisto Plateau is a narrow tundra, in which headhunters are currently trapped in the tundra south of the Kaltim Mountains.

The headhunters, who had been guarding the southern part of the Kaltim Mountains, had noticed that the situation was not quite right, and began to slowly retreat towards the central part of the Kaltim Mountains.

Although they hid in the jungle of the Kartim Mountains and secretly retreated north, this move was discovered by the griffons at the first time.

The headhunters clearly realized that something was wrong with the situation, and they wanted to retreat to the north of the plateau......

Roy didn't want these headhunters to retreat easily.

……

A pack team slowly walked along the tundra at the foot of the mountain north of the Devil's Raven Ridge towards the camp of the mine guards, and Lei Shande rode the argali, walking in the front, and after several months of running, Lei Shande lost a lot of weight, and his pack team brought a new batch of armaments and food to the mine guards.

In addition to the more durable elf biscuits, the food brought this time also included some fresh apples.

It's just that Lei Shande didn't expect Roy's mine guards to expand to 3,500 people all at once, which made the supplies he brought over obviously a little stretched.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to expand so many people at once, I knew I would bring more elf cookies." Reshander said with some self-reproach, but his eyes were full of relief.

The half-blood elves hiding in the southern part of the Pajisto Plateau are willing to stand up and defend themselves against the headhunters in the Kaltim Mountains.

This in itself means that this group of half-blood elves, who usually live a secluded life, will not run away anymore, and they rebel against the idea of the highland headhunters.

"Reshande, your pack team needs to be expanded a little more, you can temporarily rent the carriage and horse shop in Padstow City, it is best to rent the entire carriage and horse shop to transport logistics materials to us, as long as they are willing to bid, they will agree, in the next period of time, the griffin regiment will not do material transportation again, there are still five thousand half-blood elves in the middle of the Kartim Mountains who need us to provide the necessary logistics materials." Roy greeted him and said to Reisander.

Reshander nodded and replied, "It has been arranged, and the second pack team should have set off from the valley camp below the plateau and rushed to this side." ”

As he spoke, Reshander asked the two half-blood elves to open a wooden chest, and inside it was a series of black iron spears that were only as thick as a thumb, a little too thin for the elven warriors, only six feet long. The spear was made of black iron and was extremely heavy, and the tip of the spear was even plated with a layer of mythril, which looked unusually sharp, and the tip of the spear also imitated the wolf's tooth arrow, creating six barbs.

Reshander took out a short flying spear from the wooden box and said to Roy, "This is a spear created by Miss Channing according to Captain Tiprado's description, specially equipped for the griffin cavalry. ”

"Go and get Captain Tiprado!" Roy said to a half-blood elven warrior behind him.

Soon Captain Tiprado hurried over, and his eyes lit up when he saw Roy holding a jet-black spear in his hand.

"It was built so quickly, much faster than I expected...... Captain Tiprado said happily.

Roy handed the black iron spear in his hand to Captain Tiprado, and when Captain Tiprado held it in his hand, he said in surprise, "...... It's so heavy! ”

"Made of pure black iron, of course it will be heavier!" Mu Lin held a black iron spear and said, "And the spear shaft is a little thin, so it's not easy to hold!" ”

"I'll try!"

Captain Tiprado whistled as he spoke, and a pale brown griffin spread its wings and burst out, gliding at a low altitude for nearly 100 meters, and landed firmly beside Captain Tiprado.

Captain Tiprado grabbed a spear and rode onto the griffon, and the huge griffin spread its wings, leaped to its feet, flapped its wings with a few blows, and soared into the sky......

A strong wind suddenly blew around Roy and the others......

After Captain Tiprado wandered around the sky, the griffin suddenly gathered its wings at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, and its body was like a meteorite, falling straight from the sky.

Roy thought the griffin was going to turn on Iron Will......

However, apparently he had misjudged, and the griffin gathered his wings just to increase the speed of the fall, and when the griffin was only a few hundred meters from the ground, Captain Tiprado, who was riding on the back of the griffin, actually threw the black iron spear in his hand to the ground.

He threw it with all his strength, and the black iron spear even disappeared in the air, and only three seconds later, a huge rock only more than fifty meters away from Roy made a bang, and this boulder with a diameter of more than one meter actually exploded directly, and a black iron spear penetrated deep into the rocky ground.

The powerful impact force could not be resisted even by a heavily armored warrior wearing a tower shield in his hand.

Originally, those griffon cavalry only shot feathered arrows in the air, and the feathered arrows falling from the sky were not as powerful as black iron spears.

When Captain Tiprado rode his griffon back to the ground, Roy leaned up and asked Captain Tiprado, "Captain Tiprado, how many black iron spears can you throw in one battle?" ”

"Three won't be too much of a burden on me, five should be the upper limit, and this black iron spear is too heavy, so we can't bring too many ......," said Captain Tiprado.

"Can all the griffon warriors learn this throwing method?"

"It's not that hard...... Captain Tiprado replied.

"Alright, I'll let Channing's side continue to build this spear and equip it for the griff......ons," Roy said happily.

For the next few days, all the members of the griffon practiced throwing the Black Iron Spear......

The headhunters hiding in the southern part of the Kartim Mountains also realized that their back roads were almost cut off, and these headhunters began to become panicked, and they no longer disguised their retreat to the north, but fled all the way north on a large scale.

Everywhere in the mountains can be seen headhunters dressed in fur clothes.

……

Roy didn't wait any longer, and set out from Crow Ridge with the mine guards and chased north along the Kaltim Mountains......

The mine guards didn't chase after them very quickly, just clearing out some lone headhunter squads along the way.

Captain Tiprado thought it was a rare opportunity to exercise, because the headhunters were on the run, so they were not very likely to take the black iron spears stuck in the ground, so he followed them all the way through the sky with more than a hundred griffin cavalry.

When the headhunter is spotted, a griffon cavalry will swoop down and throw the black iron spear in his hand when he is only a few hundred meters away from the headhunter.

In fact, throwing the black iron spear at such a distance, there are headhunters fleeing all the way north, although they have no fighting spirit, but they are extremely vigilant, so it is difficult for the black iron spear to hit this group of headhunters, and then, the griffin cavalry has to fly down to pick up the black iron spear, this kind of action will be even more dangerous.

However, Captain Tiprado insisted that the griffon cavalry do the same, and Roy was very supportive......

……

Every time darkness falls, a team of assassins emerges from the Kartim Mountains, like a pack of nightbladed leopards hunting in the dark, constantly harvesting the lives of those who are on the run.

They are even more ubiquitous, and they can go around to the front of these headhunter squads every time.

Even if they encounter some of the more difficult headhunter leaders, these Assassin Squads will take advantage of the shadows in the forest to retreat safely......

In order to deal with the assassin team, the headhunters who retreated to the north had to gather together, even at night to light torches, and when they rested, everyone would almost always gather together, or simply in a cave, all the headhunters lived in a cave, and a few headhunters were left at the entrance of the cave to be on duty at night, which could effectively resist the assassination of the assassin team.

But in this way, the headhunters must retreat in groups.

A large number of headhunters gathered together and became a living target for the griffin cavalry.

Once the headhunter stabs the headhunter, it often penetrates from the top of the head, and then penetrates through the tailbone, and then pierces into the rocky ground, directly nailing the headhunter in place and dying on the spot.

Although this black iron spear did not pierce the body of many headhunters along the way, it created a huge shadow in the hearts of headhunters......

Headhunters themselves are accustomed to throwing spears, and they also know the power of spears, and at this time, they have become the prey in the eyes of spear hunters, and the fear that breeds in their hearts spreads all over their bodies, and they can't help but flee north, risking all their physical strength, and fleeing frantically.

And Roy led the mine guards far behind, like a group of shepherds driving the sheep all the way north......

On the Pagisto Plateau, Roy's mine guards finally seized the initiative and sounded the horn of a counteroffensive.
