The camp of the West Route Lord Army almost occupies the entire southern slope of Wangyue Ridge. This is one of the dozens of ridges south of Bena City. It can be used as the military camp of the West Route Army mainly because the south slope is gentle and has a large area of grass.
There is a clear river below the hillside.
White felt tents are neatly arranged on the hillside, and each team is clearly distinguished.
When the commanders of the various lord armies heard that Surdak had finally arrived, they all ran to the large tent specially built for him by the military headquarters. This large tent had been idle in the camp for nearly three weeks. This was the first time today.
Crowded with people.
Surdak was sitting on a chair in the middle of the tent, flipping through a marching plan that had just been delivered. According to the instructions of the military department, the Western Route Army would be waiting at the temporary portal in eight days without any delay.
Surdak knew that once the temporary portal was activated, the Demonic Nexus would burn a large amount of magic crystals every moment, so each army of the Lord Army must be perfectly connected when passing through the portal, but the biggest problem now is
, Gary Decker and five thousand cavalry are still on the way, and it will take at least a week to reach Bena City.
In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, when Gary Decker and the cavalry arrive at the camp, there will be no resting world at all, and they will immediately pass through the portal and enter Ivorson City.
Surdak looked up and glanced around, seeing that the tent was already crowded with commanders of various lord armies, and immediately turned to the marching plan in his hand.
There was a catalog of the Western Route Army on the wooden table on the other side. He coughed lightly, and the tent immediately became quiet.
As for Lord Surdak, all the commanders present had heard of his name.
When someone mentioned him at the noble ball in Bena City, many people would subconsciously think: Oh! That lucky knight chosen by Marquis Luther, I know! Luther not only recommended him to become a noble, but also made him a nobleman.
His daughter married him, what a lucky guy.
When someone talks about him in a military tent in a certain plane, some people can't help but sigh: He's the great knight who knows the Holy Light Technique! He's a second-level powerhouse. If only we could have one in our knights.
It's great to have such a strong person, at least a lot of people can be saved from dying in one battle.
According to a certain lord, he also became friends with a red dragon. Although he is not a dragon knight yet, he has at least taken the first step towards that legendary road.
Some people even say that he has reached some kind of agreement with the lords in the world of the dead, and that he will take the lead when he is in danger.
The most outrageous thing is that some people say that there is a great alchemist hiding behind him, who has strengthened all his horses with strengthening scrolls...
Although it was a bit outrageous, these things were not groundless. When the commanders in the tent passed by the entrance of the big tent, they all saw that the tendons of the ancient Bolai horse's front legs were almost covered with complicated magic patterns.
Now that he finally appeared in front of everyone, they realized that he was nothing more than that.
He has an ordinary appearance, a burly figure, and although his eyes are a bit sharp, he has the air of a gentleman. The beard on his face is neatly groomed, which makes him look very clean.
"Ahem, there are no tables or chairs in the tent, so I'll make a long story short. The main purpose of calling everyone here this time is to meet everyone and get to know each other better. After all, we will have to fight side by side for a long time to come."
Suldak held the directory of commanders of the Western Route Army Lords in his hand and said to everyone present.
"Then the commander whose name I will call next, please come out and say a few words to everyone!"
"Jasper Mende..."
"Gain Ludwig..."
Surdak called the names of the commanders one by one and asked them to walk to the center of the tent one by one, and then introduced himself to the commanders in the tent.
Wait until the commanders present introduce their identities.
Suldak then said: "This time the military headquarters appointed me as the commander of the Western Route Army, I would like to make two requests to everyone present. The expedition is about to begin. Once you leave Bena City with the Western Route Army,
When you step into the territory of Ivorson City, you must obey absolutely. Even if you don't understand and have doubts about some of my orders, you must carry them out to the letter."
"Because we are a whole, and we are facing powerful enemies that we have never seen before. They are the Dark Legion from the Abyss. The Evil Ghost Legion that occupies the Warsaw plane is cruel and murderous. We need to suppress it.
Only by working together can we have a chance to defeat them."
"I will do my best to bring you all back!"
The whispered conversations in the tent stopped abruptly.
The war in the plane of Warsaw...
When the commanders received this recruitment order, they knew that they would fall into the quagmire of the Warsaw battlefield. Just like Duke Newman who was tied there, they didn't know when the plane war would end, and they didn't know what.
Only then can we get out of there.
Before setting off, everyone had already prepared for the worst.
After arriving at the camp of the Western Route Army, the commanders suddenly discovered that they seemed to be surrounded by almost all such soldiers, and that everyone had the same fate. This fear of the unknown battlefield gradually lessened.
When Surdak mentioned that he would do his best to bring everyone back, the commanders realized that the quagmire was also a battlefield meat grinder. It was unknown how many Bena had been swallowed up in the past few years.
A warrior's life.
The atmosphere became a little heavy, and someone shouted something under the depressing atmosphere:
"Commander, please rest assured, we will completely obey your command!"
Surdak raised his fist and said to the commanders in the camp:
"Many people say that the current Bena Army is not as good as the previous one. Since the Bena Army left, the noble lords of the entire Bena Province have become deaf and mute. No one dares to face the cruel position.
In the face of war, there is no longer a responsible person in the Lord's army, and no one has the courage to go to that cannibalistic plane."
"Now that we are gathered here, we want to go against the wind and become an example for many lord armies."
"We want to say loudly to the evil ghost army: tremble, our Bena army is here again!"
"For the glory of Bena warriors!"
Surdak shouted with his last breath.
The passion in the hearts of the commanders was also aroused, and they all shouted:
"For glory!"
"For glory..."
…
When Surdak returned to his tent, he saw Samira spreading a sleeping bag in the corner of the tent.
Underneath the sleeping bag is a red-eyed hyena fur mattress. The fur on this mattress is already bald in some places, but Surdak is more accustomed to the smell of it, so he can sleep soundly on it.
This time Samira had made up her mind and planned to live in a tent at night.
Only now the tent is packed with people.
This marching tent is not big. Andrew, Gulitmu, and Tiger alone have occupied a large space. The three of them seemed to be chatting about the time they were apart. The two-headed ogre was in a big shape.
Chewing the jerky that Andrew brought over, the jerky made from the newt ghost snake is very chewy, and the final taste is a bit sweet, which is more delicious than the crocodile jerky of the swamp giant crocodile.
During the days when the two-headed ogre followed Suldak back to Luyint City, Andrew and Tago were not idle. After they recovered from their injuries, they took the cavalry and began to march towards the outskirts of Invercargill Forest.
During the patrol, the Three Rivers Plain to the east and the Dark Worm Valley to the north have been occupied, and the Thorny Mountains are to the south. Only the Anya Swamp to the west is still undeveloped. The cavalry have been continuously penetrating into the Anya Swamp these days.
Naomi was also sitting in this tent. There was no suitable place to place her yet. Her skin, which had almost no flesh and a skin like dead tree bark, made her look like an old woman with half a leg in the coffin.
People, her eyes also seemed a little dull, and it was a little hard to move her eyes every time.
His whole body was wrapped in thick linen and wrapped in a cloak, and he huddled in the corner without saying a word, just quietly listening to Andrew and the others chatting.
Frostwolf Bonita was lying at the door of the tent, constantly growling angrily at Naomi in the corner.
When it bared its teeth, it revealed three-inch-long sharp canine teeth, and its pale green holes revealed ferocity and bloodlust.
It issued several warnings to Tago, but Tago ignored it, and instead threw a large piece of dried meat to it. This made Bonita very dissatisfied, and its eyes almost never left Naomi.
Surdak did not expect that the frost wolves would be so resistant to the necromancers.
Tago's explanation for this is: "Bonita can smell the smell of death from her body, a very strong smell of death..."
Surdak actually has some headaches. Naomi's identity cannot be exposed in the army under any circumstances. The followers around him include plane natives, half-elves, ogres, and orcs and wolf riders. The team
It's already very weird, so now there's a weirdo wrapped in thick cloth, and no one pays much attention to it.
Now, Bonita is very hostile to Naomi, so it seems necessary to keep her away from the hounds.
The dinner was very sumptuous and everyone sat together.
Naomi doesn't seem to need to eat. She usually just drinks some potions she carries with her to maintain the last bit of her body's functions.
There were fried meat, mutton soup and rice porridge on the dinner plate...Suldak immediately tasted something familiar.
At that time, he had just arrived in Wall Village. At that time, Wall Village was still very poor. The village would only kill a sheep during festival celebrations. In order to turn this sheep into the most delicious sheep soup, the old village chief Bu
Laite also tried his best to ask Selina, the best cook in the village, to cook mutton soup. Then Suldak met Selina, who was called the disaster star by the villagers, and even drank it at Selina's house.
Eat multi-grain rice porridge.
Surdak poked the rice on the plate with a spoon, squinted his eyes and said to the outside of the tent:
"Selena, stop hiding, come out!"
I heard a surprised question from outside the tent: "...Ah! Duck, how did you find out?"
Signa's voice was very sweet, and before she finished speaking, a fair little face came in from the door, and her big black grape-like eyes flickered at Suldak.
After a while, Selena, wearing a black robe and a black silk scarf on her head, entered the tent with a smile.
Nika also followed Selena.
Andrew smiled and said to Selina: "I didn't tell him this. God knows how he guessed that you were here..."
Selena smiled and said nothing, and knelt down next to Suldak naturally, took the dinner plate from his hand, and added some more multigrain porridge for him.
"Why are you here?" Surdak asked with some confusion.
Selena said nonchalantly: "I want to go to the Warsaw plane with you!"
Time seems to have never left any traces on her face, and her skin is even fairer and more delicate than before, and her eyes are full of rich emotions.
"What should we do over there at the Twin Goddess Temple?" Surdak asked in a low voice.
Selina handed him the plate, poured him another glass of ale, and then said:
"Don't worry, I have already found new priests for the Temple of the Night and the Temple of the Morning. They will also be under the care of the two goddesses. This time I will follow you to the Warsaw plane because I also want to see what the environment is like there.
Sample……"
Although she said that, the smile on her face did not look like she was going to develop followers of the Dark Goddess.
Samira, who was sitting next to her, was holding a green apple in her hand, and she suddenly felt that it was a bit bitter and astringent in her mouth.
She put down the apple she had just taken a bite of, sat up straight, and whispered in Naomi's ear: "You will set up a tent with me later, and we will sleep together..."
Naomi turned her head mechanically, and her neck bones made a crisp sound. She looked straight at her and nodded in agreement.
…
Samira rarely prepares new army tents because her troops are armed Thunder Rhinoceros, and the wooden house on the platform on the Thunder Rhinoceros' back is her residence.
It’s just that this time there is no armed Thunder Rhinoceros in Surdak’s Lord Army. The temporary portal set up this time cannot pass through the eight-nine-meter-high behemoth, although the plane portal in Ivorson City can allow the Thunder Rhinoceros to be free.
However, if you want to transport the Thunder Rhinoceros to Ivorson City, you have to take a long land route, so Surdak excluded the archer group armed with Thunder Rhinoceros from the lord's army.
Before it got dark, Samira set up another marching tent next to Suldak's tent and took Naomi to live in it.
Throughout the night, Samira lay in her sleeping bag and barely slept well.
Even though she had blocked her ears with cotton balls, for a Level 2 expert with super strong five senses, the uncontrollable joy next door could still penetrate her ears clearly.
Moreover, Naomi, who lived with her, seemed unable to sleep. She did not get into the sleeping bag, but lay on the wolf-skin mattress, staring at the roof of the tent without saying a word with her eyes open.
"You can't sleep either?" Samira turned over in her sleeping bag and asked Naomi.
Naomi barely made any move and said to Samira: "No...it's just that my eyelids are so dry that I can't close them. Tomorrow I will buy some magic materials and put some eye drops on them. I heard that there is magic in Bena City."
The store has a very complete range of magic materials.”
