On the beach in the southern part of the West Key, next to the pier, a row of wooden cages is placed outside the dense forest, and these cages hold more than 2,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war.

The sun was scorching, and even if there was a gust of sea breeze, the gray dwarf robbers in the wooden cage were still drowsy from the vicious sun.

They curled up in the wooden cage and did not dare to move, for fear that any unnecessary movement would cause excessive water loss of their bodies.

This group of gray dwarf prisoners of war have been locked up on the beach for nearly half a month, Roy is worried that these gray dwarf prisoners of war will make trouble, and is only willing to provide them with one meal and drink water twice a day, and in half a month, the bodies of these gray dwarf prisoners of war have been emaciated at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The dock on the main island has been rebuilt by the Silvermoon Elves, and this time the rebuilt dock extends twenty meters more into the sea.

A fleet of medium-sized sailing ships happened to be docked at the docks, and a group of Silver Moon Elf warriors began to carry various armaments from the cabin, and the Berkeley Commander also stepped down from the sailboat, this time in addition to delivering armaments to Roy, he also had to take the group of gray dwarf prisoners of war from the West Reef Islands.

In order to transport these gray dwarf prisoners of war, the Berkeley Commander brought a total of seven medium-sized sailing ships.

The weather in Key West is a bit hot, the sea breeze doesn't feel cool on your face, the beaches are steaming, and the trees at the edge of the dense forest are scorched by the sun.

In this kind of weather, it is best to hide under the shade and sleep in, and it is best to drink a glass of cold coconut water.

The victory in the Battle of the West Reef Islands has given the Silver Moon Elves of Queen Evanie a shot in the arm, and they have regained their confidence in defeating the Grey Dwarf bandits.

Even the Silver Pegasus Warband has not had particularly outstanding results in recent times, causing the entire Silver Pegasus Legion to be full of worries about the future.

For this reason, the Count of Swinburne even wrote a letter of help to an old friend in Buenos.

Breathing in the warm air, the Berkeley Commander walked out of the sampan on the dock and caught a glimpse of the gray dwarf prisoners of war lined up in the scorching sun.

If it weren't for the wooden cages blocking half of the sun, I'm afraid these gray dwarves would have been roasted into human jerky by now......

They lay lazily in their cages, looking like they didn't even have the strength to breathe.

Then the head of Berkeley saw Roy, who was standing in the shade of a tree and waved to himself, and he walked over quickly, and Roy asked him to hand him a cup of fruit tea, and then said:

"It's too hot on the beach at this time, so let the soldiers rest first, and wait until the heat dissipates in the evening to carry supplies! At this time, I can still send supplies, Chief Berkeley, and allow me to express my sincerest thanks to you! ”

"If it weren't for the fear that the supplies on the island would not be able to support so many gray dwarf prisoners ......of war, I might not have come here until three days," said the head of Berkeley.

He walked up to Roy's side, pointed to the row of wooden cages, and asked with some concern, "You didn't burn these gray dwarf prisoners of war to death, did you?" ”

"How is that possible! They were provided with water every morning and evening, a free lunch at noon, and from the day they were imprisoned, the gray dwarf robbers in the wooden cage did not die. Roy swore to the head of the Berkeley regiment.

Hearing Roy say this, the head of Berkeley said that he was a little relieved.

"Roy, did you know that the battle in the West Reef has completely reversed the decline of the Silver Pegasus Legion, and the Silver Moon Elf Guards stationed on the outer islands of the Queen Evanie Islands are also imitating your combat methods, maneuvering in the jungle with the gray dwarf bandits, and fighting them in jungle battles."

Captain Berkeley sat on a recliner under the tree and said to Roy.

"So...... How long are we going to stay on Key West in Queen Evenney? Roy asked the head of Berkeley.

"Uh...... It's hard to say for the time being! ”

This is a question that the head of the Berkeley regiment cannot answer.

"The praise from the military department may be sent later, and I am here not only to replenish your supplies, but also to escort these gray dwarf robbers to the prisoner of war camp." The head of Berkeley whispered to Roy.

Roy smiled and said:

"We do have very little supplies left, and even though we only provide one meal a day, these gray dwarf robbers have almost eaten everything they can eat on the island."

The two walked shoulder to shoulder to the makeshift camp.

Sure enough, as Roy said, the armaments and materials in the camp have bottomed out......

Commander Berkeley actually saw the wooden wall erected between the main island and the West Island, he hadn't seen it the last time he came here, but he had it this time, and it was obvious that Roy had spent a lot of thought on winning the naval battle of the West Key.

The Berkeley Captain also saw a lot of local products in the makeshift camp, and even saw a group of Silver Moon Elf residents carrying some fruit into the camp.

"You guys have a pretty good relationship with the local Silver Moon Elf residents?" The head of Berkeley asked curiously.

The Silver Moon Elves have always looked down on the Half-Blood Elves, which is almost the norm in the Silver-Moon Kingdom, but the Silver Moon Elves on this side of the main island are unusual, and they are very friendly to the Half-Blood Elf warriors.

"It's okay, to defend them against the gray dwarf bandits, we have to work hard even if we don't have merit!" Roy said casually. "You just came, and I was thinking about how to get out of the island! Where are you next? ”

"The first step is to escort these grey dwarf prisoners of war to Pallam Island, and then the fleet will arrive at Partington Island to load a shipment of supplies before returning to the main island of the Queen Ivanie Islands. What's wrong? The head of the Berkeley regiment asked.

"I'm going to take four days off and go home to have a look, just in time for Ling's boat." Roy said.

"Vacation...... Who told you at this time that we have the right to take a vacation? The head of Berkeley asked with a look of disbelief.

"Miss Christine told me that we have four days off a month." Roy replied.

"Alright! I can send you to Partington Island, and then I can send you to the supply ship bound for Castletown, but you only have one day in Castletown, and you will have to follow the supply ship back to Partington Island the next day, and then I will arrange for the ship to send you back to the West Key, you can't afford any further delays, after all, the situation here is changing rapidly. The head of Berkeley admonished Roy with a solemn face.

"That's fine!"

Roy readily agreed.

The thought that he would be back in Castletown in two days made Roy's heart full of anticipation.

……

Roy boarded the supply ship of the Berkeley regiment, passed through Pallam Island, and returned to Partington Island in only half a day.

With the help of the head of the Berkeley regiment, he boarded a supply ship bound for Castletown at the docks on Partington Island, which was to depart overnight for the port of Castletown.

For some things about Roy, Captain Berkeley still knows a little.

For example, he was in the business of low-level magical herbs in the Partington plane, and he also shipped a large number of metal ingots produced in the mines to Castletown City for sale, and some other news was on the desks of almost all the high-ranking officials of the Silver Pegasus Army, and if Roy had not had the trading license signed by the Earl of Swinburn, I am afraid he would have been sent to a court-martial by now.

Even if Roy was not sent to the court-martial, in recent times, negative news about Roy has frequently appeared in the ears of the top management of the Silver Pegasus Army.

Obviously, he touched the cake on the plate of some Silver Moon Elves, so he was constantly backstabbed by this group of Silver Moon Elves......

In fact, the head of Berkeley has been vaguely reminding Roy recently, but Roy doesn't seem to listen much.

The two consecutive naval victories on the West Reef Islands also put a thick umbrella on Roy, at least for now, no one in the upper echelons of the legion has mentioned Roy's business.

The head of Berkeley watched Roy board the ship and stood on the dock and waved at Roy.

……

A row of five-masted galleons is moored at the deep-water pier of Castletown Harbour, and these giant five-masted galleons almost fill the deep-water dock.

Early in the morning, the supply ships from Partington Island arrived at the port of Castletown.

Roy stood on deck, looking over to the Black Pearl, but his view was blocked by the row of five-masted galleons.

Truckloads of goods were also being delivered to the big ships, and half-blood elf boatmen lined up on the docks.

The ships were bearing the flag of the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom and a Gripon sword and shield flag, which Roy had seen on the human merchant's ship, and he knew that the five-masted galleons were supposed to be from the Roland Continent.

Roy's eyes scanned around the docks, the docks in Castletown Harbour were still the same, and the lively place was always the fish market on the other side of the pier.

At this time, the docks were filled with various wooden crates, which the half-blood elves were carrying to the hold of the five-masted galleon.

Before Roy could get off the ship, he saw Woods and Claire standing on the dock, and several attendants following Claire, Woods and Claire were holding two lists in their hands, apparently checking the goods on the dock.

Holding on to the side of the supply ship, Roy shouted the names of Woods and Claire to the docks.

Woods didn't hear it, but Claire, who was particularly sensitive to sound, caught Roy's voice as soon as possible.

Claire looked up and saw Roy standing on the deck of the supply ship at a glance, he waved his hand vigorously at Roy, and shouted to Roy with a happy face:

"Roy, you're back?"

Woods looked up at this time.

The three friends met on the dock and hugged each other before Roy said to the two friends:

"I'm just coming back this time, it's only one day's off, and I'm going to be back to Partington Island tomorrow night on this supply ship."

Claire's face was obviously a little disappointed, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Why did you go in such a hurry?" ”

Woods couldn't wait to take Roy's arm, pointed to the cargo box on the dock, and said to Roy excitedly:

"Roy, come and take a look at our deal this time, those merchants from the Grimm Empire have purchased all the primary magic potions and magic herbs in our trading house, as well as iron ingots and mythril ingots, they have also been bought out, I originally planned to leave for Partington today, I want to bring back all the magic herbs in the warehouse over there......"

Then he said to Roy with joy:

"Originally, there was a lot of backlog in the warehouse for these primary magic herbs and magic potions, and now they have completely wiped out our goods at once......

Claire added later:

"They've swept away all the magic herbs in the entire city of Castletown!"

It turned out to be a big herb merchant who came over from the Roland Continent, and looking at the eyes of Woods and Claire, Roy knew that this transaction must have been earned.

"Roy, do you want to take a look at our alchemy workshop?" Woods asked a little impatiently.

"How long will it take for you to finish it? I'll go home and take a look, and then we'll meet up at the Alchemy Workshop, and I know where the Alchemy Workshop is! Roy said.

"We can leave the things we have here to them at any time!" Claire pointed to the attendants who followed behind her and said to Roy.

"Okay, we'll see you in the Alchemy Workshop later!"

Somewhat impatient to go home, Roy waved at the two and ran towards Brown Street.

……

As he passed by the Statue of Liberty, Roy noticed that the temple's large iron doors had become rusty, and the crevices of the stone slabs in the front yard were overgrown with weeds, which had been abandoned for years.

Originally, it was said that a shelter for half-blood elf children would be established here, but now it seems that it has never been built.

Further ahead is the intersection of Brown Street, where Roy can hear the gurgling of the Dane River.

As he passed by Mrs. Winnie's apothecary, a black skull peeked out of a crack under the bushes, staring at Roy with a pair of green crystal vertical pupils, and a whimper came out of his mouth, as if expressing his displeasure.

Roy hurriedly walked up, crouched against the bush wall, and reached out to touch the top of the big cat's head.

"Woo......"

The Nightblade Leopard immediately let out a whimper of dissatisfaction.

"Sorry for being out for so long, I'll bring you some food in the evening!" Roy muttered to the Nightblade Leopard, touched its head, and left.

Roy came to the door, the street outside the yard was very tidy, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, the yard was well cared for, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been taken care of by Sabrina and Moira.

There are no traces of drying clothes on the clothesline on the terrace, and the doors and windows are tightly closed.

Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but feel a little lost, Ms. Belinda's trip was not over yet, and she had not yet returned to Castleton City.

The courtyard next door was also quiet, and at this time, Sabrina and Moira should go to the Elven Academy, and Ms. Gillian went to the fish market to sell fish, so there was no one in the house next door......

Roy opened the door, and all the furniture in the living room was covered with gauze, and there was a layer of dust on the floor.

He pushed open the bathroom door, found a bucket inside, and poured some water into the Danai River opposite, poured it into the bathtub, and then took a comfortable cold shower, changed into clean clothes, and simply cleaned up the bedroom, after all, he only stayed for one night, and then hurried to the alchemy workshop.
