478. The Grey Dwarf Bandits' Counterattack
In fact, when Miss Tiffany was in Castletown and offered to come to Queen Evaney Islands with Roy, Roy thought that Miss Tiffany just wanted to use her racial ability to help him detect the movements of the gray dwarf bandits in this naval battle......
Roy hadn't thought Miss Tiffany would bring back so many magic rune plates.
Regarding the magic pattern circle on this water-based magic rune board, it can be regarded as the leading academic knowledge of Naga magicians in the field of magic.
It is said that the city built by the Naga Sea people on the bottom of the sea was made possible by this magical shield, and countless semi-circular shields were stacked on top of each other to create a rather spectacular city at the bottom of the sea.
The magic pattern of this magic shield rarely spreads outside.
The appearance of eleven three-masted galleons holding up magic shields at the same time was quite spectacular, and a row of semicircular shields were connected together, like a semicircular light blue turtle shell.
Although the three-masted galleons looked a little dilapidated, Roy inspected the hull structure and found that the main keel and mainmast were made of expensive ironwood, and the wooden planks on the outside of the hull had been treated with anti-corrosion.
The Grey Dwarves even fastened it to the inside of their hull with triangular brackets, a sailboat that was strong enough to withstand the storms of the endless sea.
Four cannons were also mounted on either side of the hull deck, which could throw solid shells.
The total length of the hull reached forty-five meters, and in addition to the enclosed cabin on the lower deck, there were two decks below, each with fifty cabins, and two wooden beds with bunk beds, each with four beds, so that a three-masted galleon could accommodate up to four hundred half-blood elven warriors.
In addition, the aft third of the deck is a two-storey building, with a storage room on the first floor in addition to the proposed galley, and two lounges on the second floor in addition to the captain's wheelhouse.
The three masts were evenly divided between two-thirds of the deck in front of the hull, and in front of the mainmast there were two spinnakers and a ball sail.
The ramming horn in front of the bow is a Buta sheep's head made of bronze.
The grey dwarf robbers may not have cleaned the barnacles at the bottom of the ship for a long time, and after the half-blood elf warriors cleaned the barnacles attached to the hull, they originally planned to paint the bottom of the ship, but unfortunately it was very troublesome to build a dock here, so they had to paint the surface part of the hull casually.
However, the wood used for these three-masted galleons is very exquisite, and after a long time of soaking in the seawater, it makes the planks thicker and tighter, and the wood has a faint camphor smell, except for the thick barnacles covering the surface, the hull is hardly moth-eaten.
In the evening, the West Key Islands are shrouded in a reddish sunset, and even the sea is dyed with a pale gold.
Some skuas fly to rest on the reef of the beach, where their nest is located.
Several skuas gather around a shallow puddle and compete for the small fish trapped inside.
After a busy day, a group of half-blood elven warriors returned to the makeshift camp with Yunxia on their backs, and Roy made his way to the docks and climbed aboard a three-masted galleon, where Miss Tiffany was putting the finishing touches on the magic rune board.
"Get these magic rune boards...... Will it cause trouble? Roy's voice rang out from behind Miss Tiffany.
Miss Tiffany's body was filled with a faint aura of water elementalism, and she replied firmly:
"No, it's not a valuable magic pattern array, this kind of magic pattern array has long been widely used in magic weapons, and besides, these magic rune plates are ...... I bought back with magic crystals."
The tone is full of money, I spent money.
The sun slowly sank into the sea, and a faint green veil suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance.
"Every time there is fog on the sea, those gray dwarf robbers will come to the island, and I don't know if they will dare to come tonight." Roy stood beside the boat and muttered.
Miss Tiffany blinked and said, "Every year during the rainy season, there is always fog on the sea here, but do those gray dwarf robbers really dare to sail a ship to the island in the fog at night?" ”
"That's it for both times." Roy replied.
Miss Tiffany frowned, and didn't say anything more, but looked up at the night sky and said:
"The coral reefs here are so beautiful!"
Then he stretched his body, and then jumped from the edge of the boat into the deep sea, and the sea suddenly turned a string of splashes......
……
The victory in the Battle of the West Key was like a fuse, allowing the Silver Pegasus Legion to suddenly find the key to victory, and the legion's higher-ups finally realized that the advantage of the elven warriors was jungle warfare.
As long as they get into the dense forest, those gray dwarf robbers with short legs and buckets will not be able to run, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced by three layers.
Now that they have found the weakness of the gray dwarf bandits, the Silver Moon Elf warriors have taken the initiative to wage war against the gray dwarf bandits on the outlying islands. At this point, the naval battle of Queen Evanie Islands broke out in full swing,
The first was a sporadic dispute over a small remote island around the Queen Ivanie Islands.
The group of proud Silver Moon Elf warriors were actually ambushed in the jungle, which was something that the group of gray dwarf robbers who ventured to land on the island never expected, and the gray dwarf bandits suffered losses in the battle for the surrounding islands for more than half a month.
This made the Grey Dwarf bandit leaders quite angry.
In the past half a month, the islands around the Queen Ivanie Islands have been reported frequently, and the top management of the Silver Pegasus Legion thought that these gray dwarf bandits only had such a little ability, and the elven warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion on Queen's Island had even begun to celebrate the victory.
It was as if at this pace of attack, the Silver Pegasus could devour all the grey dwarf bandits in one go......
……
On the southern edge of the Queen Ivanie Islands is a group of coral reefs, many of which are tidal islands under the potential surface, but there are also a few small islands that have always surfaced, but these small islands are not too large, and the largest island is only less than 300 meters long, and it is a sloping cliff.
The cliffs are high in the north and low in the south, and the slopes are covered with lush forests.
The island has a sandy beach on one side and cliffs on three sides, the north cliff is almost 100 meters high, and below the cliff is a craggy reef jutting out of the sea.
This is the southernmost island where the Silver Pegasus Legion is stationed in the Queen Ivanie Islands, and there is a squadron of sixty Silver Moon Elf warriors on the island.
The sky was not cloudy, the wind was strong on the sea, and waves several meters high rushed to the reef on the shore in waves.
Visibility on the sea was low, but there was no fog.
Two nautical miles away were two three-masted galleons, and the Silvermoon Elf warriors hiding on the island could see the group of grey dwarf robbers on the deck.
The Silver Moon Elf warriors didn't follow the coastline, they lurked in the jungle on the hillside, and set up hundreds of beast traps in the dense forest, just to wait for these gray dwarf robbers to take advantage of the night and fog to get to the beach, if they rushed into the dense forest at night, the traps in the forest would make them suffer enough.
Night once again covered the island, and the sky was overcast, but there was no fog.
A row of ropes appeared on the side of the two three-masted galleons, and the heavily armed grey dwarf robbers slid down the ropes, then climbed into the boats and paddled slowly towards the beach......
Soon the grey dwarf robbers arrived on the beach in small boats, but when they arrived at the beach, they were not hindered by the silver moon elf warriors on the island.
The Silver Moon Elf warriors on the island were as if they didn't know they had landed on the island.
Dressed in full-covered armor like a tin pot and holding dwarven chain shields, these grey dwarven robbers stepped up from waist-deep waters.
The leader of the gray dwarf robbers lifted the visor from his helmet and looked at the sides of the beach, but found nothing unusual, so he pointed to the dense forest on the hillside to the other gray dwarf bandits, and motioned for everyone to line up in a neat row, holding their shields and approaching the dense forest.
As soon as the grey dwarf robbers stepped out of the beach and stepped onto the green meadows, a shrill sound sounded in the night sky.
These were the armor-piercing arrows often used by the Silvermoon Elf warriors, and since these gray dwarf bandits had metal armor on their bodies, the Silvermoon Elf warriors were also equipped with armor-piercing arrows that could pierce the armor.
Archery frequently flew out of the dense forest, which immediately suppressed the progress of the gray dwarf bandits, blocking this group of gray dwarf bandits from the dense forest.
There was not the slightest frustration on the faces of these grey dwarf warriors, who half-crouched outside the dense forest, forming a tin wall with their bodies.
When the armor-piercing arrows hit the dwarven warriors, they were almost all bounced off and scattered in the sand......
The gray dwarf bandits knew that the dense forest in front of them was full of traps, and they could not break into the dense forest at night no matter what.
But they had no intention of retreating, and only half-crouched on the grass on the edge of the beach.
……
Late at night.
Waves crashing on the beach......
When the waves receded, the anglerfish showed their backs full of balls of flesh, opened their blood-red eyes, and looked into the depths of the island's dense forest.
Then, there was a strange scene:
These dark gray anglerfish actually stood up on the beach, their fat bodies supported by two thin, short legs......
These fish-people can't even be considered subhumans, they can only be regarded as sub-human fish-man spirits.
With a harpoon in their hands and their big flippers on the soft sand, they walked slowly ashore.
There are a large number of these fish-man spirits, and when they were hidden in the sea, the sea merchants appeared one after another, and now they are walking on the beach one by one, and these fish-man spirits suddenly become a large area of black pressure.
If you look closely at these fish-man spirits, you will see that they have the face of a fish, their backs are covered with black fleshy bumps, and they have thin limbs, which can hold weapons and walk upright.
Their bodies are only about one and a half meters high, and they are soaked and huddled together, and the slime that flows from their bodies is constantly dripping on the beach.
The black pressure on a large piece of fish-man washed up on the island beach, and the vision brought by it was still very spectacular.
They struggle to walk on the beach, not much faster than a turtle crawls......
A hundred meters ahead, you can see the gray dwarf bandits across the row.
Just when these fish-man spirits hesitated and did not want to approach, other snake-tailed figures appeared in the sea, with six arms growing on their bodies, their faces covered with scales, sharp teeth, gills, colored fins behind their ears, and the vertebrae on their backs came out of their bodies, covered with cyan scales, and there was a light red fin on the entire snake's tail from the back waist.
They can't be counted as the Naga Sea Clan, but as another branch of the Naga Sea Clan, the Kraken.
It is said that the cursed mermaid will turn into a kraken, and a row of krakens will appear on the shoreline, numbering about a few dozen, carrying long thorny leather whips in their hands, driving the fish-man spirits in the sea towards the island.
It wasn't until the fish-man spirits crossed the gray dwarf bandits' lines and stepped into the green meadows that the arrows that flew out of the dense forest continued to hit their bodies.
Then, the Sirens standing in the sea blew the whistle that hung on their chests.
The shrill whistle rang out in the night, and the fish-man spirits went crazy in the shrill whistle.
A large number of fish-man spirits shouted 'Whoa' and rushed inside in the rain of arrows.
Covered with arrows, he refused to take a step back, and even crawled forward desperately when he fell, and even left the corpses of countless fish-man spirits on the grass.
And the fish-man spirits that rushed into the woods constantly triggered the traps in the forest, and their bodies were even scraped all over by the dense bushes.
The forest was immediately filled with the smell of fish, and the branches of the low shrubs were stained with slime and rotten flesh.
The fish-man spirit continued to wail and fall......
However, the Silver Moon Elf warriors who hid high in the dense forest found that the situation on the island was uncontrollable, and those gray dwarf bandits followed the fish-man spirits into the dense forest, and the traps in the dense forest could no longer threaten them.
And the number of fish-man spirits is huge, and under the carpet search, those Silver Moon Elf warriors hiding in the trees have nowhere to hide.
The gray dwarf bandits are born with divine powers, and they are followed by the Kraken who constantly unleashes ice archery.
The original idea of using the jungle to annihilate all the gray dwarf bandits was shattered when the fish-man spirits rushed up......
The Silver Moon Elves retreated while fighting, all the way to the edge of the cliff, and there were only about twenty of the more than sixty Silver Moon Elves left in this bloody battle.
The entire hillside is now infested with fish-man spirits, and the gray dwarf bandits and krakens are caught in the middle of them.
The two dozen or so surviving Silver Moon Elf warriors were also covered in bruises, and they stood on the edge of the cliff with the vast sea behind them......
The Silver Moon Elves had already laid down their prepared ropes here, and this was their pre-set retreat.
A Silver Moon Elf warrior slid down a rope down a cliff.
Almost at the same time, a large number of fish-man spirits rushed up the cliff, and some of them were squeezed off the cliff by the fish-man spirits that surged up from behind, letting out a sharp and piercing scream.
More than two dozen elven warriors slipped to the bottom of the cliff, quickly boarded the flying fish boats, and left the island overnight.
