502. The song of the Siren
Chapter 501 - 502. The Siren's Song
Looking at the commendation notice on the table, Chief Kempfred was silent......
The previous Chief of Logistics, Lord Lucius, was removed from his post because of his indestructibility in the Battle of the Queen Ivanie Islands.
When the Silver Pegasus first occupied the Partington plane, the plane was rich in magical herbs and did not show much value.
However, when the imperial merchant ships arrived on the west coast of the Elven Continent, the price of magical herbs in the Elven Continent continued to rise, and the Partington plane also rose as a result, and now I don't know how many nobles in the legion have taken a fancy to the position of the chief of logistics.
Chief Kempfred stands out from many competitors, in addition to the family's support behind Chief Kempfred, another reason is that Chief Kempfred is a typical moderate when it comes to the issue of half-blood elves.
Currently, at least ninety-five percent of the inhabitants of the Partington plane are half-blood elves.
Although the Silver Pegasus Legion is nominally in charge of the Partington Plane, due to the Battle of the Queen Eventon Islands, the Legion has transferred all its forces to the Queen Eventon Islands, so that only a small number of management in the Partington Plane are still Silver Moon Elves, and the half-blood Elves are gradually becoming managers.
Therefore, the Silver Pegasus needs an official who has a moderate attitude towards the half-blood elves to govern the Partington plane.
This is the main reason why Kempfred was able to become the chief of logistics.
In the Battle of Queen Evanie Islands, Roy's Mine Guard Regiment became the only force to preserve the dignity of Partington.
Although this commendation came a little late, it was at least an affirmation of the Legion's Mine Guards.
The only thing that's controversial is that it's a force of half-blood elf warriors.
Some of the top brass of the Silver Pegasus are skeptical......
……
In the camp of the Guards of the city of Padusto
Roy arrived early, and the head of Berkeley was training a group of half-blood elf guard warriors on the playground.
Seeing Roy in the barracks, Captain Berkeley threw the whip to the instructor behind him, walked quickly over to Roy, and led him to his office.
"Captain Berkeley, are you in such a hurry to see me, is there anything important?"
Roy asked the Berkeley Chief, still thinking about transporting the rudimentary magical herbs from the warehouse to Partington Island.
He had already made an appointment with the carriage and horse shop, and in the morning they were transporting the primary magic herbs to the central square one after another.
"I have two pieces of news about you here, a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" The head of Berkeley leaned against the window and poured Roy a glass of water.
"Then let's hear the bad news first!" Roy said.
"The Elven Council of Elven Elders in Buenos City has passed the letter of accusation against you, and at least half of the members of the Elven Elders' Council feel that you have been derelict in this matter, especially since the other party is also a descendant of a Silver Moon Elf noble, so I ask you to write a detailed written report on this matter, and it is estimated that the debriefing notice will be sent in the near future." Head of Mission Berkeley said.
Roy was mentally prepared for this, so he was not surprised to hear Captain Berkeley say this.
"I estimate that the investigation team has entered the Partington plane, and may even go to the Nicobar Mountains of the Pajisto Plateau to investigate and look for evidence, you have to be more careful recently."
Roy said indifferently:
"They wanted to investigate, so they asked them to investigate, and this matter is very simple, the owner of the Abel mine died in battle while absconding in fear of crime, and this is the truth."
"What I want to say...... That's not it, I mean, when the inquisitors enter the Pagisto Plateau, you have to let them know as much as possible how the mine owners oppressed the elven miners, and it is better to find more evidence about the Abel mine owners, and to convince the inquisitors that Abel was a slave trader who did all kinds of evil on the Pagisto Plateau. ”
The head of Berkeley leaned in close to Roy and whispered in his ear.
"Got it, I'll find a way to prove this." Roy said.
The head of Berkeley smiled and asked, "Then do you want to hear the good news?" ”
"Of course!" Roy said expectantly.
"The Silver Pegasus Military Department's commendation for you should be sent to the Silver Pegasus Military Department in Padstow City, it is estimated that you will be notified soon, and it is said that you may have to be promoted this time!" Head Berkeley said to Roy.
"Captain Berkeley, do you want to know what happened when I came to you so early?" Roy asked rhetorically.
"What can you do with me...... Ay! Are you going to cut the queue into the plane portal again, how many are there this time? If there is too much cargo, I suggest that you take advantage of the night when you are carrying it away from the portal so that it doesn't attract too many people's attention. The head of Berkeley whispered to Roy.
"The amount of goods this time is a bit large, so I just came to say hello to you!" Roy replied.
Roy's trade permit on the Partington plane was issued by the Earl of Swinburn himself, and in the Partington plane, only the Silver Pegasus military and Roy could transport the supplies from this side to the Elven Continent.
Naturally, the head of Berkeley would not accept Carroy's supplies, so he casually agreed.
When the head of Berkeley came to the portal in the central square at noon, he saw that in the northwest corner of the square, Roy was preparing to transport the primary magic herbs to the elven continent, piled up like a hill.
Roy was settling accounts with the people in the carriage shop at the edge of the square, and the head of Berkeley looked at these elementary magic herbs and asked in surprise:
"All these elementary magic herbs are yours?"
Roy nodded and said:
"I'm working with a local magical herbalist, and most of these rudimentary magical herbs are from the Blackwater Swamp......
Without asking too much, the head of Berkeley turned around and walked to the portal to communicate with the portal guards in person.
Today, almost all of these portal guards are served by half-blood elf warriors of the city defense regiment.
So even if the head of Berkeley doesn't come, there won't be any goods from the portal guard Boss Carroy.
A large number of primary magical herbs were sent to Partington Island, and Roy transported them to the Silver Pegasus Legion's supply ship, which departed tonight and arrived in Castletown Harbor early tomorrow morning.
Instead of returning to Castleton Harbor with the ship, Roy wrote a letter to Claire and Woods asking them to pick up the cargo at Castletown Harbor.
……
Sure enough, just as Captain Berkeley had said, on the third day of Roy's arrival in Padstow, Chief Kampfred summoned Roy.
This notice was still sent to Roy by the half-blood elven warriors of the city guards.
If this notice had arrived an hour later, Roy would probably have left Padstow with Miss Tiffany.
Now that he had received a summons from Chief Kampfred, Roy had no choice but to come to the Silver Pegasus headquarters in Padstow again.
Walking up the familiar staircase, Roy is already very famous in Padstow City, many officers and logistics personnel of the Silver Pegasus Military Department know Roy, and some Silver Moon Elves even take the initiative to come forward to greet Roy.
Roy walked to the door of the Chief's office and waited, and was summoned by Chief Kempfred shortly after.
Chief Kampfred sat in the chair behind his desk, his hands crossed on the table, and looked at Roy earnestly.
"Roy, the head of the Mine Guard Regiment on the Pagisto Plateau, has seen the Commander-in-Chief."
Roy stood at his desk and gave a military salute to the new chief of logistics.
"You're Roy? I know you, I just didn't expect you to be so young, how is the situation in the Pagisto Plateau now? If you need support from the military department in terms of supplies, try to submit some written applications, as long as they meet the regulations of the legion, I can sign them for you here. ”
Chief Kempfred's voice was unhurried, and he kept observing Roy as he spoke.
"Thank you, Mr. Chief, for your care!"
Roy hurriedly thanked him.
Chief Campfred then pushed the commendation notice in front of Roy and motioned for him to pick it up and take a look.
Roy picked up the notice and read it, only to find that he had somehow received a silver Pegasus Freedom Medal, and he didn't know what this medal could be used for.
He then saw the letter of appointment from the Silver Pegasus Army, and Roy was promoted from the head of the Mine Guard Regiment to the governor of the Pagisto Plateau......
This was somewhat unexpected, and it seemed that the Silver Pegasus Legion would not be sending a garrison to the Partington Plane anytime soon.
Roy stood in front of Chief Kampfred, thought for a moment, felt that he should reveal the information on the Bay side of Sun Island, and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Speaking of which, the Mine Guards do need the support of the Legion."
"At present, the main strength of the Legion is concentrated on the Queen Evanie Islands, so I hope that the Legion can support some armaments, such as feathered arrows and elven biscuits."
Chief Kampfred didn't expect that he was just polite to Roy, and Roy actually climbed up along the bamboo pole.
Roy quickly pulled out a map of the Pagisto Plateau and the Griffon Barrier Mountains.
At the bottom of the map, it's clear that there's a bay of Sun Island.
Pointing to a woodland in the Bay of the Isle of the Sun, Roy introduced to Chief Kempfred:
"The Mine Guards made their way through the hills and mountains and the Thousand Thousand Mountains, arriving at Sun Island Bay in the southern part of the Griffin Barrier Mountains a month ago."
"The Legion is currently stationed in the jungle on the north coast of the bay, in a stalemate with the fish-man spirits of Sun Isle."
"The main reason why we came to the North Coast jungle is to help the half-blood elves who live here."
"For a long time, they have been oppressed by the Gulf Fishmen every day, and in order to let the half-blood elf inhabitants here own the North Coast, the Guardians have decided to wage war against the Gulf Fishmen of Sun Island......"
Roy slowly introduced the Mine Guards, who were clearly carving out territory on the Partington plane.
In this case, the Silver Pegasus Legion will have to give a certain amount of support to the Mine Guards.
Kemp. Chief Fred looked at the young half-elf who was talking in front of him, and watched him point to a hand-drawn map, explaining his battle plan clearly and concisely.
Kemp. Chief Fred discovered that this half-elf was now showing an astonishing military talent and was extremely aggressive, actively advocating for the exploration of lands in uncharted areas......
At this moment, a half-blood elf threat theory that he had seen a long time ago actually appeared in his mind.
Kemp. Chief Fred never imagined that this piece of cake after the victory in the naval battle of the Ivani Islands did not satisfy Roy's appetite......
With the location of his current guard group, he not only wanted to control the area around the hills and mountains and the Qianren Mountains, but also aimed at the bay of Sun Island.
……
In October, Roy finally returned to the Mine Watch camp in Sun Island Bay in Kaka's griffon, this time with Miss Tiffany and Mrs. Winnie's Nightblade Leopard.
In Miss Tiffany's eyes, there was no sea in the Partington plane.
Kaka flew Roy straight through Pass Three in the Griffon's Barrier Mountains, and when the griffin broke out of the Griffon's Barrier Mountains, Miss Tiffany's back saw a Sun Island bay surrounded by two slender landmasses.
Because of the need to cross the Griffin Barrier Mountains, Kaka's griffons flew high.
On a clear day, the entire Gulf of the Isle of the Sun was incomparably clear to Miss Tiffany's eyes.
It's like a sapphire, set in a sea of green.
"This bay is so beautiful......"
Miss Tiffany, sitting on the back of the griffin, could not help but praise loudly.
"But those fishmen are also very fierce!"
It was Little Eugene's griffon, carrying Miss Tiffany, and he couldn't help but say to Miss Tiffany.
"Those brainless Fish-Man Spirits don't do anything smart, and the real threat to you is the Kraken standing behind the Fish-Man Spirits......" Miss Tiffany said.
……
As soon as Roy returned to Sun Island Bay, he heard a report from the squadron leaders of the Mine Guard Regiment.
Recently, along the north coast of Sun Island Bay, it is common to hear the singing of some sirens at night.
These Sirens had already confused a dozen half-blood elves into drowsy walking into the sea and drowning in the sea.
Recently, the Siren's singing has terrified the half-blood elf warriors in the camp......
Although the management of the camp is very strict, there are still half-blood elf warriors who are constantly recruited.
The fish-man spirits hiding on Sun Island are also ready to move again, and a large number of fish-man spirits are lurking in the coral reef area, apparently trying to take the opportunity to regain control of the north coast.
This time, Miss Tiffany went to the barracks of the Mine Guards, and went to the beach that night to investigate where the Sirens were hiding and singing......
In fact, there is one biggest flaw in the singing of these krakens, which the half-blood elves do not know.
That is, the Siren's song can only confuse the male elves, and has no effect on the female elves.
That's why Miss Tiffany ran to the beach with the Nightblade Leopard at night, Roy was a little worried about Miss Tiffany's safety, but unfortunately the half-blood elf warriors who came to Sun Island Bay this time by the mine guard group were all men......
