Chapter 771 Chapter 772 Surrender

Chapter 771 772. Surrender

In the dense forest of Kuei Island,

When the sunset approaches the sea, the end of the sea seems to be constantly burning, and the steaming red clouds continue to spread to the sky.

The gray dwarf Doyle poked his head out of the underground city exit. The wall was full of half-blood elf guards holding longbows. Several elf guards pulled the longbows and pointed the arrows directly at Doyle's head.

Doyle held a white flag in his hand and gently waved it to the elves on the wall.

Immediately, an elf guard reported to Roy.

At this time, just as he was about to change shifts with Captain Timothy, he was ready to eat something, then go around the dock, and then return to the tent to rest. Starting tomorrow morning, he would launch an attack on the underground castle, so he had to rest tonight.

Moira was not on duty at night, so she was very happy to accompany Roy. While eating breadfruit, the two talked about the assassins' war group capturing dozens of gray dwarf bandits near the secret exit last night.

In front of Roy was a cup of diluted life tree juice...

Since the Mine Guards took control of the Tree of Life in Padstow, Roy, as the leader of the Mine Guards, would have a cup of diluted life tree juice for dinner every day.

However, Roy felt that this kind of life tree juice would not help him much, so he would give it to Moira whenever he had the chance.

He pushed the cup in front of Moira, and his adjutant Walker ran to him and reported to Roy:

"The gray dwarves in the underground castle surrendered!"

Roy was a little surprised, he was actually ready for a tough battle.

Because there are at least 30,000 gray dwarf bandits gathered in the underground castle, and his troops on Kui Island are only 8,000, including 1,000 siren warriors hiding in the shallow sea.

At present, the Silver Pegasus Knights are stationed on the beach, and Zeina and the siren warriors will not appear near the dock.

So the troops that Roy can mobilize are actually only the elf guards and human priests of the Mine Guards.

The strength of the gray dwarf bandits should not be underestimated. Although they suffered repeated setbacks in the first day of fighting, their population base is there. Roy doesn't even know how many second-level strongmen there are in the underground castle...

"Let's go and meet the elder of this group of gray dwarf bandits!"

Roy stood up excitedly and walked quickly towards the entrance of the underground castle with his adjutant Walker.

...

When Elder Augustus walked out of the entrance of the underground castle, it was completely dark.

The wall was full of elf guards. These elf guards pulled their longbows to the full extent, and the cold arrows were aimed at the gray dwarf leaders who slowly walked out.

Behind Elder Augustus were two gray dwarf elders. The three of them were the real controllers of this group of gray dwarves.

Doyle followed a group of gray dwarves behind him. Everyone climbed up the wall along the temporary ladder. Only then did they see that the elf guards had moved the camp outside the wall, and a large amount of military supplies were also piled nearby.

The surroundings were crowded with elven guards, all wearing silver armor that exuded a magical aura, and the long swords on their waists also exuded a magical aura...

Roy stood in the front of all the elven guards, and behind him were Captain Timothy, Captain Jeroin, Sabrina, and several half-blood elven officers.

Roy invited Elder Augustus and others to a meeting table in a clearing in the forest, and everyone sat down.

Elder Augustus looked a little heavy. He looked at Roy and never thought that the captain who controlled such a powerful elven army was actually a half-elf.

He set his eyes on Captain Timothy. Many gray dwarves died at the hands of this group of assassins. He showed anger in his eyes and stared at Captain Timothy fiercely.

Captain Timothy gave Elder August a smile of victory, which immediately made Elder August blush...

After introducing the identities of the participants in the negotiation meeting, Elder August was the first to speak:

"I want to know how you will deal with us after we surrender?"

Roy pointed his finger at the table and paused for a moment before saying:

"If the news Doyle provided to us is true, you will serve in the mines of Pagisto Plateau. The labor term of all gray dwarves will be fifteen years, which means you will dig ore for fifteen years, and you will accumulate ten points for each day you complete. No matter who you are, you can regain your freedom if you accumulate 50,000 points."

As soon as Roy opened his mouth, he set a sentence for these gray dwarf bandits.

Fifteen years is not too long for the gray dwarves, and they can basically endure it.

The gray dwarf leaders around him whispered and discussed in a low voice, but Elder August did not speak.

Roy continued:

"In addition, I can also tell you about the benefits of being a dwarf miner."

"You will work underground for no more than ten hours every day, and then take a mine cart back to the surface. The quality and quantity of ore brought back in the mine cart will determine how many points you get that day. When there is less ore, it may be one point, and when there is more ore, it may be ten points. The specific number of points depends on how hard the miners work that day."

When Roy said this, he heard one of the gray dwarf leaders opposite him say dissatisfiedly:

"If we are only given one share every day, we may have to dig for 150 years before we have a chance to gain freedom!"

Roy looked at the gray dwarf and said:

"Every mine has very fair criteria. I want you to extend your sentence. I can tell you directly that there is no need to tamper with these numbers."

"Your residence is a stone house in the mine. The mine will provide you with three meals a day. You can eat some fruits and dried fish every day. The food may not be very delicious, but it will make you full. These foods It is provided free of charge by the mine. You can have one day off every six days of working and can move freely in the mine, but you are not allowed to leave the mine without permission. Anyone who escapes from the mine without authorization will be severely punished. "

"There is an internal store in the mine. You can buy some daily necessities in the store, such as blankets and clothing. Sometimes the store also has special food and wine. You need to redeem these supplies with points, and the prices are absolutely reasonable."

"After your service period expires, you can choose to live in the Partington plane or return to the Elf Continent."

"On the Pagisto Plateau, there will be a town built specifically for gray dwarves. There are currently more than 60,000 gray dwarves living on the Pagisto Plateau, but their service terms are fifteen years longer than yours. Year."

"If you don't understand anything, just ask me..."

Elder Augustus sat on the chair and stared at Roy with his sharp eyes. He asked Roy: "We have served in the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane for fifteen years. Can we really do it again?" Be free?"

"I can sign a magic contract with you." Roy responded.

“When we reach the mines on the Pagistow Plateau, will we suffer ill-treatment and torture?”

"As long as you work hard to mine every day, you will not be punished. If you are lazy and slippery, you will receive a verbal warning. If you fight in the mine, you will be severely punished."

After finishing speaking, Roy explained: "We need miners, and we will not give up any hard-working dwarf miner easily. Please rest assured. My guarantee is for those hard-working gray dwarves. If anyone If you dare to cause trouble in my mine, the supervisor in the mine may have some disciplinary measures..."

Elder Augustus kept asking other questions.

All the questions Grand Elder August had were what would happen to the gray dwarf prisoners of war after they surrendered, and what kind of treatment they would receive.

He didn't even ask Roy to reduce his sentence.

The other two gray dwarf elders also made no special requests, they just hoped that Roy could do what he said.

Then Elder Augustus solemnly announced:

"We surrender!"

He stood up slowly and handed a bronze scepter to Roy with a heavy expression.

Roy took the heavy scepter. The top of the scepter was in the shape of four dwarves holding a copper ball back to back. The patterns carved on it were very detailed, but the scepter did not have any magic fluctuations.

"I have to say, this is a smart move!" Roy responded.

Elder Augustus was like a deflated rubber ball at this moment, slumped on his chair in a daze.

In this way, he handed over Kuidao to the elves. It is estimated that even if he regained his freedom in the future, he would still have betrayed the gray dwarf tribe.

But if they don't surrender, they will have no choice but to stay in the underground castle and wait for death. During this period, no other gray dwarves will take the risk to rescue them...

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Between life and death, Elder Augustus decisively chose to live.

Afterwards, Roy asked Miss Tiffany to prepare a magic contract. This magic contract was signed by him and Elder Augustus. It mainly stipulated that the service period of the gray dwarves on Kui Island should be about fifteen years.

In fact, it is not that accurate to measure the service period in terms of years. In fact, these gray dwarf prisoners of war need to collect 50,000 points.

In other words, if any gray dwarf prisoner of war falls ill and is unable to mine, his points will stagnate until the gray dwarf prisoner of war can work and continue to collect enough points, so that his actual service time will be longer. .

If a gray dwarf prisoner of war likes to enjoy life in the mine and often exchanges points for rare supplies such as wheat cakes and rum, a large amount of points will also be consumed.

The surrendered gray dwarf prisoners of war will hand over all weapons and armor. They will come out of the underground castle and live in a temporary prisoner of war camp on the beach.

The Mine Guard Corps has successively resettled 60,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war. There are only 40,000 gray dwarfs on Kui Island. These gray dwarf prisoners of war are currently concentrated in ten prisoner of war camps on the beach.

The mine guard group successfully occupied Kui Island. In the following days, a large number of elven guards were cleaning up the loot in the underground castle, and a part of the mixed-blood elven crew began to salvage the three-masted sailboat that sank near the dock.

This war once again made Roy a lot of money.

In contrast, the Silver Pegasus Knights, who came a step later, failed to reap any benefits at all. They did not participate in the war from beginning to end, and this group of proud Silver Moon Elf Knights were embarrassed to take any trophies.

The Silver Pegasus Knights only stayed on Kui Island for three days.

On the morning of the fourth day, Captain Malthus took the initiative to find Roy and said to him:

"Roy, the matter here on Kui Island has come to an end. Do you want to follow me back to the Queen Egwene Islands?"

Captain Malthus thought that Roy just wanted to fight a surprise battle and return to the Partington plane with a group of gray dwarf prisoners of war.

Roy shook his head: "I still have to stay on Kui Island for a while."

Since the battle of Kuei Island was won and most of the spoils had been looted, it was time to evacuate Kuei Island. In addition, the portal on Partington Island would soon be closed, so Captain Malthus asked again:

"The plane portal is about to be closed. If you stay here, how will you return to Partington in the future?"

"There will always be a way, don't worry." Roy said casually: "Malthus, are you leaving?"

"Well, the order we received was to cooperate with you to capture Kuei Island. Now you have successfully occupied Kuei Island, and we can't actually help much. Since the mission is completed, we will return to the military headquarters in the Queen Eweni Islands to report."

Captain Malthus didn't want to stay on this deserted island any longer.

Roy extended a hand to Captain Malthus: "Although I may not be an officer of the 17th Silver Pegasus Corps in the future, our friendship will not change. Captain Malthus, thank you for your care all the time."

"Captain Roy, you are the most outstanding half-elf captain I have ever seen. I am glad to meet you."

The two captains held hands tightly, said "take care" to each other, and said goodbye on the dock.

The knights of the Silver Pegasus Knights flew into the sky one after another, and under the leadership of Captain Malthus, they flew towards the direction of the Queen Ewenni Islands.

The mine guard group did not leave Kuei Island.

This place does not belong to the territory of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and the laws of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom cannot apply to this place. Roy took this island, so Kuei Island currently belongs to Roy. Even if he wants to settle on Kuei Island, the 17th Silver Pegasus Corps cannot control them.

The only controversial point is that the 17th Silver Pegasus Corps let Roy's fleet come, but Roy's fleet did not return to the Partington plane as scheduled.

Seeing the Silver Pegasus Knights leave Kui Island, the Siren Warriors hiding in the shallow waters dared to return to the vicinity of the dock.

These Siren Warriors assisted the Elf Guards in salvaging the sunken ships near the dock, and the speed immediately increased a lot.

It has been two weeks since leaving the Partington plane, and the Siren Jie Zena is a little worried about the situation in the Sun Island Bay.

She found Roy and asked directly:

"Captain Roy, how long will it take for us Siren to return to the Sun Island Bay?"

Roy was leading the half-blood elf guards to clean up the sunken ships near the dock. Seeing Jie Zena coming over, he knew what she wanted to know.

"It will probably be in these few days, let the Siren get ready! At that time, I will send two magic airships to send you back to the Sun Island Bay..."

Roy said firmly.
