Chapter 477 478. The Gray Dwarf Bandit’s Counterattack

In fact, when Miss Tiffany was in Castletown City and offered to accompany Roy to the Queen Ewinnie Islands, Roy thought that Miss Tiffany just wanted to take advantage of her racial abilities. In this naval battle, Help him detect the movements of gray dwarf bandits...

Roy never thought that Miss Tiffany would bring back so many magic rune boards for magic shields.

Regarding the magic pattern array on this water magic rune board, it can be regarded as the most advanced academic knowledge of Naga magicians in the field of magic.

It is said that the city built by the Naga Sea Tribe on the seabed was realized by relying on this magical protective shield. Countless semicircular protective shields overlapped together to create a rather spectacular city on the seabed.

This kind of magic protective shield's magic pattern rarely spreads outside.

The appearance of eleven three-masted sailboats holding up magic protective shields at the same time is quite spectacular. A row of semicircular protective shields are connected together, like holding up a semicircular light blue turtle shell.

Although these three-masted sailboats looked a little worn out, after checking the hull structure, Roy found that the sailboat's main keel and main mast were made of expensive ironwood, and the wooden boards on the outside of the hull had also been treated with anti-corrosion. , although it looks dilapidated, the whole ship is very sturdy.

The gray dwarves even used some tripods to fix it inside the hull. This kind of sailboat is strong enough to withstand the storms on the endless sea.

There are also four cannons installed on both sides of the hull deck. These huge cannons can eject solid projectiles.

The total length of the hull reaches 45 meters. In addition to the closed cabin on the bottom, there are two levels of cabins below the deck. Each level has fifty cabins. There are two wooden bunk beds installed in the cabin. Each cabin has With four beds, such a three-masted sailboat can accommodate up to four hundred mixed-blood elf warriors.

In addition, the stern third of the deck is a two-story building. In addition to the proposed kitchen, the first floor is a storage room, and the second floor is in addition to the captain's wheelhouse and two lounges.

Three masts are evenly distributed on the front two-thirds of the deck of the hull, and there are two jibs and a spinnaker in front of the mainmast.

The ram in front of the bow is a Buta sheep's head made of bronze.

The gray dwarf bandits may not have cleaned the barnacles on the bottom of the ship for a long time. After the mixed elf warriors cleaned the barnacles attached to the hull, they originally planned to paint a layer of paint on the bottom of the ship, but it was a pity to build a dock here. It's very troublesome, so you can only paint the surface of the hull casually.

However, the wood used in these three-masted sailboats is very sophisticated. After being soaked in seawater for a long time, the wooden boards become tighter and tighter without any gaps. Moreover, this wood has a light camphor smell, except that the surface is covered with The hull was thickly covered with barnacles, and the moth-eaten spots were almost invisible.

In the evening, the Key West Islands were shrouded in a red sunset, and even the sea surface was dyed with a layer of pale gold.

Some skuas fly to rest on the rocks on the beach, where their nests are.

Several skuas gathered around a shallow pool, fighting for the small fish trapped inside.

After a busy day, a group of mixed-blood elf warriors carried Yunxia back to the temporary camp. Roy came directly to the dock and climbed onto a three-masted sailboat. Miss Tiffany was giving the final touches to the magic rune board on the ship. debugging.

"Bringing these magic rune boards... will they cause trouble?" Roy's voice sounded from behind Miss Tiffany.

Miss Tiffany's whole body was filled with a faint aura of water element, 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. Besides, I bought these magic rune boards with magic crystal stones..."

It sounds like I paid for it.

The sun slowly sank into the sea, and a faint green gauze suddenly appeared on the distant sea surface.

"Every time there is fog on the sea, those gray dwarf bandits will come to the island. I don't know if they 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 bandits really dare to drive a sea ship to the island in the fog at night?"

"That's it these two times," Roy replied.

Miss Tiffany frowned and said nothing more, but she 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 ship's side into the deep sea, and a string of water splashes suddenly appeared on the sea surface...

…

The victory in the naval battle of Key West Islands was like a fuse, allowing the Silver Pegasus Legion to suddenly find the key to victory. The top brass of the Legion finally realized that the advantage of the Elf warriors was jungle warfare.

As long as they get into the dense forest, those gray dwarf bandits with short legs and bucket waists will be unable to run, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced by three levels.

Now that they had found the weakness of the gray dwarf bandits, the Silver Moon Elf warriors began to take the initiative to fight against the gray dwarf bandits on the outlying islands. At this point, the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands broke out in full force.

It started with sporadic small disputes on the remote islands around the Queen Evenee Islands.

That group of proud Silver Moon Elf warriors actually lurked in the jungle. This was something that the gray dwarf bandits who ventured to the island never expected. For more than half a month, the gray dwarf bandits suffered in the battle for the surrounding islands. .

This made the gray dwarf bandit leaders quite angry.

In the past half month, there have been frequent reports of good news from the islands surrounding the Queen Egwene Islands. The senior officials of the Silver Pegasus Legion thought that these gray dwarf bandits only had so much ability. The elven warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion on Queen Island even The victory celebrations have already begun.

It seems that according to this attack rhythm, the Silver Pegasus Legion can eat all the gray dwarf bandits in one go...

…

There is a group of coral reef islands on the southern edge of the Queen Evenee Islands. Many of these coral reef islands are tidal islands under the potential sea surface, but there are also a few small islands that have always surfaced, but these small islands are not too big. The largest island is only less than three hundred meters long, and it is also a sloping cliff.

This cliff is high in the north and low in the south, and the slopes are covered with lush and dense forests.

The island has a beach on one side and cliffs on three sides. The cliff on the north side is almost a hundred meters high. Under the cliff are rugged rocks protruding from the sea.

This is the island where the Silver Pegasus Corps is stationed at the southernmost tip of the Queen Egwene Islands. There is a squadron of sixty Silver Moon Elf warriors on the island.

The sky was full of dark clouds, the wind was strong on the sea, and waves several meters high rushed to the rocks on the shore.

Visibility on the sea was low, but there was no fog.

There are two three-masted sailing ships anchored on the sea two miles away. The Silver Moon Elf warriors hiding on the island can see the group of gray dwarf bandits on the deck.

This group of Silver Moon Elf warriors did not set up defenses along the coastline. They lurked in the jungle on the hillside and set up hundreds of wild beast traps in the dense forest. They just wanted to wait for these gray dwarf bandits to take advantage of the night and heavy fog to climb up. On the beach, if they rush into the dense forest at night, the bear traps and traps in the forest will make them suffer.

Night once again enveloped the entire island, the sky was overcast, but there was no heavy fog.

A row of ropes appeared on the sides of the two three-masted sailing ships. The heavily armed gray dwarf bandits slid down the ropes, then climbed onto the small boats and rowed slowly towards the beach...

Soon these gray dwarf bandits arrived at the beach in a small boat, but when they arrived at the beach, they were not obstructed by the Silver Moon Elf warriors on the island.

The Silver Moon Elf warriors on the island seemed not to know that they had landed on the island.

These gray dwarf bandits were wearing full armor like iron cans, holding high their dwarf chain shields, and walked up from the waist-deep water step by step.

The gray dwarf bandit leader lifted up the visor on his helmet, looked at both sides of the beach, and found nothing unusual. 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 up the shield and approaching the dense forest.

Just as the gray dwarf bandits walked out from the beach and stepped onto the green grass, there was a sharp and harsh sound in the night sky.

Those are armor-piercing arrows often used by Silver Moon Elf warriors. Since these gray dwarf bandits have metal armor, the Silver Moon Elf warriors are also equipped with armor-piercing arrows that can pierce armor.

Archery frequently flew out of the dense forest, immediately suppressing the gray dwarf bandits' progress and blocking the group of gray dwarf bandits from the dense forest.

There was no trace of frustration on the faces of these gray dwarf warriors. They half-crouched outside the dense forest, forming an iron wall with their bodies.

After those armor-piercing arrows hit the dwarf warriors, almost all of them were rebounded and scattered on the sand...

The gray dwarf bandit knew that the dense forest in front of him was full of traps, and he could not break into the dense forest at night under any circumstances.

But they had no intention of retreating, they just squatted on the grass at the edge of the beach.

…

late at night.

The waves crash on the beach...

The waves receded, and the anglerfish exposed their backs full of fleshy balls. They opened their blood-red eyes and looked into the depths of the island's dense forest.

Then, a strange scene occurred:

These dark gray anglerfish actually stood up on the beach, with two thin and short legs supporting their plump bodies...

These murlocs can't even be considered subhumans, they can only be considered subspecies of human murlocs.

They held a harpoon in their hands, stepped on the soft sand with their big webbed feet, and walked slowly ashore.

There are so many of these murlocs. When they were hiding in the sea, lines of water would appear on the sea surface. Now one by one they walked onto the beach, and these murlocs suddenly turned into a large black mass.

If you observe these fish-man monsters up close, you will find that they have fish faces, their backs are covered with black flesh bumps, and they have skinny limbs. They can hold weapons and walk upright.

Their body height is only about 1.5 meters, and they are squeezed together wetly. The mucus flowing from their bodies is constantly dripping on the beach.

A large black mass of murlocs washed up on the island beach, and the sight it brought was quite spectacular.

They walked hard on the beach, not much faster than a turtle crawling...

A hundred meters ahead, you can see the gray dwarf bandit there.

Just when these fish-man monsters were hesitant to get close, other snake-tailed figures emerged from the sea. They had six arms growing on their bodies, their faces were covered with scales, sharp teeth, fish gills, and colorful things behind their ears. The fins, the vertebrae on the back protrude from the body, and the whole body is covered with blue scales. Starting from the lower back, the entire snake tail has a light red fin.

They cannot be regarded as the Naga Sea Clan, but as another branch of the Naga Sea Clan - the Kraken.

It is said that cursed mermaids will turn into sea monsters. A row of sea monsters appeared on the coastline. There were probably dozens of them. They were carrying long thorn whips in their hands and were driving these fish-man spirits in the sea towards them. Walk to the island.

It wasn't until these murlocs passed the defense line of the gray dwarf bandits and stepped into the green grass that arrows flying out of the dense forest kept hitting their bodies.

Then, the sirens standing in the sea blew the whistles hanging on their chests.

The sharp and piercing whistle sounded in the night, and the fish-man spirits became crazy in the piercing whistle.

A large number of fish-men and monsters shouted "叽婷婷婷拉"" and rushed inside against the rain of arrows.

Even though his body was covered with arrows, he refused to take a step back. Even if he fell down, he would still crawl forward desperately, even leaving countless corpses of fish-men and monsters on the grass.

The fish-man monsters that rushed into the woods kept triggering traps in the forest, and their bodies were even scratched all over by the dense bushes.

The dense forest was immediately filled with the smell of fish, and the branches of the low shrubs were covered with mucus and rotten meat.

The fish-man spirit kept wailing and falling down...

But the Silver Moon Elf warriors hiding high in the dense forest discovered that the situation on the island was heading into an uncontrollable situation. The gray dwarf bandits followed the murlocs and broke into the dense forest. The traps in the dense forest could no longer target them. create a threat.

There were so many murlocs that the Silver Moon Elf warriors hiding in the trees had nowhere to hide under the blanket search.

The gray dwarf bandits were born with supernatural powers, and they were followed by the Kraken who kept releasing ice arrows.

The original idea of ​​using the jungle to annihilate all the gray dwarf bandits was shattered when the murloc spirits rushed up...

The Silver Moon elves fought and retreated, all the way to the edge of the cliff. Only a dozen of the more than sixty Silver Moon elves were left in this bloody battle.

Now the entire hillside is covered with murloc spirits, and the gray dwarf bandits and sea monsters are among these murloc spirits.

The twenty-odd surviving Silver Moon Elf warriors were all covered in wounds. They stood on the edge of the cliff, with the vast sea behind them...

The Silver Moon elves had already lowered the prepared ropes here. This was their pre-set retreat.

A Silver Moon Elf warrior slipped down the cliff along the rope.

Almost at the same time, a large number of murlocs rushed up the cliff, and some murlocs were pushed off the cliff by the murlocs coming up from behind, letting out high-pitched screams.

Twenty or so elven warriors slipped to the bottom of the cliff, quickly boarded the flying fish boats, and left the island overnight.
