427. Two letters
The head of the regiment leaned against the battlements in some prostration, and short flying spears were thrown from under the city and landed at the top of the city.
Sharp spears pierced into the city walls, splashing a handful of stone chips, some of which flew over the battlements of the walls, some flew into the castle and smashed some red tiles, but few of the short spears could hurt the rebel soldiers.
These rebel half-blood elven warriors have been holding out on the castle in the silver mines for nineteen days, during which time the griffin cavalry of the griffon regiment has brought food and armaments twice to keep the rebel fighters in the castle well supplied......
This is also the main reason why Captain Helik has been able to persevere.
Every time the Headhunters charged the castle, they threw a wave of short flying spears beneath the walls, overpowering the half-blood elven warriors on the walls......
Without the covert support of the mine owner, the headhunters carried with them were also less than one of the short flying spears, so they were only willing to throw them out when they launched a siege.
Several half-blood elven warriors in heavy armor stood at the head of the city with tower shields, and the short flying spears slammed into the shield in front of them with a muffled 'thump' thud.
Captain Helik felt that the number of short spears was drastically decreasing, and he allowed his breathing to become calmer, and then he slammed out of the battlement, hiding behind a shield with his sword in his hand, and peeking under the wall.
Sure enough, a group of headhunters were slowly climbing up from under the city walls, and the headhunters at the front were already about to rush to the top of the city.
Captain Helik hurriedly swung his long sword and stabbed at the headhunter who had just emerged from behind the battlement, the headhunter was obviously on guard, and hurriedly raised the shield in his hand to block the sword of Captain Helik, his body was a little unstable, and he almost fell from the city.
The companion behind dragged the headhunter's body with his hands, and the headhunter slammed onto the city wall, and before the head of the group could put away his sword, he twisted his body and gave an elbow blow to the headhunter, which just hit the headhunter in the chest steadily.
The headhunter flew out of the city wall and, with a scream, fell under the city......
More headhunters had already climbed up from under the city walls, and the half-blood elf warriors stepped forward one after another, piercing the headhunter's body with the spears in their hands.
This scene in the silver mines of the Kaltim Mountains repeats itself almost every day.
The elven warriors of the rebel army, led by Captain Helik, always fought off the headhunters without danger......
……
This kind of siege has been going on for more than half a month, and this group of headhunters has to attack the city almost every day, but unfortunately they have met a group of rebels with an extremely strong will to fight, and this rebel army still has a steady stream of supplies.
As a result, the headhunters have not been able to breach the castle in the silver mines.
Although the headhunters withdrew from the south side of the Raven Ridge in waves, and as they passed the silver mine castle, they also tried to attack the castle, but without exception, none of the headhunters were able to capture the castle from the hands of Captain Helik.
Seeing that the headhunters were attacking the silver mines every day, Captain Helick knew very well in his heart that Roy's mine guards must have put too much pressure on them to fight.
Headhunters are constantly retreating from the side of Raven Ridge, which is why this group of headhunters attacks the Silver Mine Castle so frequently.
And because of the steady stream of headhunters coming from the north of the Kaltim Mountains, the headhunters are more likely to be able to hold their ground somewhere in the Kaltim Mountains......
The two headhunter leaders have their sights on the castle of the silver mines and have been trying to take it.
However, they met Captain Helik, and the two sides were in a stalemate for nearly nineteen days, with the leader of the headhunters unable to capture the silver mines, and the rebel fighters unable to break out of the castle to intercept the headhunters who were constantly retreating north.
So much so that a large number of headhunters who withdrew from Ghost Crow Ridge crossed the silver mine castle and continued to flee north.
Although the battle was not as planned by Captain Helik, the rebels formed a coalition with the mine guards, completely blocking the headhunters in the southern section of the tundra......
But with the rebels stuck like a nail in the middle of the Kartim Mountains, the headhunters had to retreat north in a hurry if they wanted to stay alive except to capture the castle in the silver mines.
Meanwhile, Roy's mine guards had been chasing hundreds of kilometers north along the western side of the Kaltim Mountains, clinging to the gentle edge of the tundra, and the headhunters did not put up any resistance.
A group of headhunters kept retreating north.
The mine guards didn't fight a decent battle all the way before they reached Lake Green Sun in the middle of the tundra.
It is only a little more than fifty kilometers away from the silver mine where the head of Helik is located.
A large wetland encloses a freshwater lake in the middle, and the whole Green Sun Lake is like a magnificent emerald set in this tundra.
Roy's Mine Guards have taken over Lake Green Sun, which means that they will be in opposition to the rebels in the Silver Mines, and the two sides can work together to eat the headhunters of the central Kaltim Mountains......
Although they have not been able to engage in large-scale battles with headhunters, the scout team of the Mine Guards has been engaged in skirmishes with headhunters quite frequently.
At this time, the half-blood elf warriors already had a mature fighting style, allowing these half-blood elf warriors to grow up quickly.
Looking down at the Green Sun Lake from above, the lake looks like a green pea, with a clear surface and vast blue waters......
Roy and the mine guards set up camp on the grassy slopes by the lake, and the marching tents of 3,500 half-blood elven warriors spread across the lake.
There are also small pools around the Green Sun Lake, which are separated by large moss......
……
Roy had planned to go straight to the silver mines, join up with the rebels of Helik's leader, and then go north to hunt down the Headhunters.
But the day before the two sides converged, Roy received a letter from the Silver Pegasus Army Department in Padstow City, and Roy opened the letter, only to find that it was a letter written by the Silver Moon Elf Commander of the Silver Pegasus Army Department in Padstow City:
'Roy Mine Owner, Silver Pegasus Military Department has received very bad news, some half-blood elf rebels who originally settled in Barrier Town suddenly left Barrier Town two months ago, and for a long time, the whereabouts of this half-blood elf rebel army have been unknown, but recently it was heard that this rebel army appeared on the Pagisto Plateau, which made the already turbulent situation on the Pajisto Plateau even more chaotic. The military department now asks you to feed back the situation of the rebel army to the city of Padstow as much as possible, in addition to fighting the highland headhunters......
The letter was a bit long, presumably to ask Roy to spy on Captain Helik's movements, and to refrain from providing any assistance to the rebel team as much as possible, preferably if they could not survive on the Pajisto Plateau, and to leave the Pagisto Plateau early to travel to other parts of the Partington Plane.
This letter is really a bit big for Roy......
Obviously, the current advantageous situation on the Pajisto Plateau was opened up by Captain Helik, but the Silver Pegasus Military Department was more wary of the Half-Blood Elf Rebels than those headhunters.
Roy's face turned ugly after reading the letter.
Although he did not intend to reveal the whereabouts of Captain Helik, the plan to join Captain Helik could only be put on hold for the time being.
It was because of this letter that Roy could not blatantly join up with the half-blood elven rebels of Captain Helik, and could only camp on the shores of the Green Sun Lake.
Roy and Woods were on a boulder by the lake, and the waves of the lake lapped against the rocks on the shore.
"Are they blatantly suppressing half-blood elves like this?" Woods rebuked with some exasperation.
Roy sighed a little helplessly and said:
"They probably think I'm a half-elf, even if I used to live in a half-blood elf settlement, but now I work for the Silver Pegasus Legion, so if I have to choose between a silver moon elf and a half-blood elf, I will definitely choose to side with the silver moon elf, at least my mother is a silver moon elf...... That's why I was sent such a letter. ”
Woods' eyes widened, staring at Roy very seriously, and asked him:
"Roy, what are you going to do about this?"
Roy put a towel over his face, although the wind by the lake was a little cold, but the sun was warm on his body, and it was full of strong water elemental atmosphere, so it was a pleasure to bask in the sun here.
"The armaments and materials sent by the military department, in the next period of time, all the use will be recorded in detail, and they will not be sent to the rebels, of course, other materials, whether Leishande's pack team is sent to the rebels or not, it is not something I can control......"
Roy said quietly, apparently trying to change his overt support for the rebels to covert support......
"It seems that this is the only way to go!"
Woods, though a little indignant, accepted Roy's compromise.
……
'Roy, the preparation of supplies for Castletown is going very well, the news of your victory in the Pagisto Plateau has been spreading in Castletown City, you don't know how lively Castleton City has been in recent days, many half-blood elves have run to the streets to celebrate this victory, and I am collecting life tree sap and magic potions in the black market, as long as I know that I am going to send this batch of supplies to the Pagysto Plateau in the Partington plane, there will be merchants who will take the initiative to come to the door. ’
For the first time, I had the feeling of 'doing something right' that these supplies would be the first to arrive on the Pagisto Plateau, and by the time you received them, the second and third supplies should already be on their way. Finally, I want to tell you one thing, "The Song of the Mountain Eagle" is very popular in Castletown, and I don't know how many Silver Moon Elves have the idea of going to the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington Plane because of hearing this song! ’
Claire's letter was personally delivered to Roy by Reisander.
The letter was accompanied by a large amount of Life Tree sap and magic potions, which, according to Roy's request, were mainly healing potions.
In the tent, Roy used a dagger to pry open the square wooden box in front of him, lifted the lid of the box, and removed the soft hay threads inside, and sure enough, there were rows of glass bottles inside, which contained an emerald green solution.
Reshander brought back a total of three crates of Life Tree sap this time, as well as seven crates of healing potions, but in comparison, healing potions were very ordinary.
Roy called Kaka and Little Eugene directly, and handed them a box of Tree of Life sap and two boxes of healing potions.
"You two will go on a trip yourself, and you must hand over these three boxes of potions to Captain Helik...... Forget it, I'll go with you! ”
Arriving at the silver mines from the shores of the Green Sun Lake, the two griffons flew for just over half an hour.
Roy sat behind Kaka, and it was obvious that Kaka, the griffon, had grown a lot stronger these days......
Captain Helick personally ran to the head of the city to meet Roy, and the first thing he said when he met was to ask Roy: "Didn't you say that you would join together and attack the headhunters?" Why are the mine guards still staying on the shores of Green Sun Lake? ”
Roy took a map out of his arms, spread it on the rocky ground of the city wall, pointed to a few arrows on the map, and said:
"Things may change somewhat, so give me three days and my mine guards will chase you all the way down from here, Helik, you take your men along the edge of Mount Kartim all the way north to ......"
"I'll let the griffons and assassin squads harass this group of highland headhunters and make them tired every night!"
Hearing Roy say this, Captain Helik took a serious look at the land line before saying to Roy: "The mine guards are walking in the middle of the tundra, and they must be careful of the counterattack of the headhunters." ”
"Yes, we are fully prepared this time!"
Roy then took out three wooden boxes from his magic fanny pack and continued to Captain Helik:
"These are the sap of the Tree of Life and the healing potions, if a half-blood elven warrior is injured, these potions will allow them to recover quickly, and some will be replenished later."
Captain Helik looked at the three wooden boxes and nodded vigorously.
……
The next morning, the mine guards set out from the shores of Lake Green Sun and continued their pursuit north of the fleeing headhunters.
Since the mine guards had been at Green Sun Lake for a few days, most of the headhunters had left the middle of the Kartim Mountains, and Roy had walked north for three days without encountering the headhunters.
On the contrary, the griffons and the assassin team have continued to gain ......
During the pursuit of the headhunters, Captain Helik took over two mines again.
Unfortunately, the headhunters stationed in the mines had already evacuated, and before leaving, the headhunters smashed all the cabinets, doors, windows, sculptures, utensils and other items that could be damaged in the two mines.
The corpses of the half-blood elven miners and grey dwarf miners were filled in the mines.
Captain Helik recaptured both mines in ruins, and not a single surviving elf could be found......
