In these seven days, Aphrodite and Samira hunted seven times, with successes and failures.
When the number of black magicians hunted in this area has increased to five, black magicians can no longer be seen flying around in the sky, and this area has become a forbidden zone for black magicians.
At the same time, the main force of the Third Army of the Lord's Army also concentrated its main force here.
As a large number of troops began to search across the mountains, Surdak led nearly 300 rebels who had gathered together in the past few days to climb over the mountains and head towards the Benggai Mountains in the south.
Nearly half of this team was injured, and they basically had to be carried on their backs along the way. They didn't walk very far every day.
…
Because Samira and Aphrodite drove away the black magicians in the sky, these lord army search teams were blinded. Those hell dogs didn't know what went crazy recently, and they dared not leave no matter what.
Entering the mountain to the south, even those demon servants can't do anything with them.
The Lord's Army soldiers in the same team just stood by and watched their jokes from a distance, but no one stood up to help them analyze what went wrong.
This caused the main force of the lord army to search the mountain very slowly.
The greater difficulty faced by the Third Army is that the supply line is too long and the military supplies from the rear cannot be transported.
To say that the supply line is too long is actually a bit exaggerated. The straight-line distance between this mountain range and the town of Bansk is less than a hundred miles. The main reason is that four-wheeled carriages cannot travel on the mountain roads and can only rely on human transportation.
The town of Takarai has just been turned into ruins. In Banks, a town with a population of less than 100,000, many civilians are inextricably linked to the rebels in the mountains, so no one is willing to work for the Lord's Army.
, a large number of migrant workers were brought over from Mukuso City by the Logistics Department of the Third Army, about two thousand people, but these people were not enough to support this supply line.
Originally, the top brass of the Third Army hoped that there would be a business group willing to join the army in this war, specifically responsible for purchasing spoils of war and transporting food...
But when they heard that the Third Army was going to the mountains to encircle and suppress the rebels, these business groups lost interest in continuing the conversation. There was nothing to be gained from the rebels eating wild vegetables in the mountains, and they would inevitably end up losing money to the lord's military transport.
food.
At this point, the Third Army's biggest problem in this mountainous area became apparent: supplies could no longer keep up.
Therefore, their speed of marching through the mountains was slower than that of Surdak's rebel team, half of whom were wounded.
…
Finding that the third legion of the Lord Army behind him did not follow up as expected, Surdak stopped walking towards the Collapse Mountains.
He didn't have the patience to waste time waiting.
Under the guidance of Dennis, the team walked southeast along Black Crow Ridge. From here, they could reach the canyon town behind the rebel army.
The team gathered nearly 300 more scattered rebels along the way, and the entire team increased to more than 700 people. The food that Surdak bought from Bena City was consumed very quickly, and someone suggested that every day
The food distribution was halved, a proposal that was firmly resisted by the two-headed ogre.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the food Suldak brought out was much more than everyone expected...
His magic belt seemed like a huge warehouse of supplies, covering almost everything from wheat flour and canned luncheon meat to marching tents and hemostatic bandages.
There was ample food supply along the way, and the wounded received proper treatment. When the team walked out of Black Crow Ridge, no casualties occurred.
Denise followed the team. She and a rebel soldier carried a stretcher and followed the team. Her horse had been given to a wounded man with a calf injury. The entire team stretched for one kilometer on the mountain road.
.
The team came to a river, and Surdak asked everyone to camp in the woods by the river.
Dennis and four other rebels rode on fast horses and ran eastward along the river bank. This river was connected to the river in the canyon town. As long as the canyon town could send some flat-bottomed boats to meet them, they would be fine.
Save these wounded people the trouble of walking.
However, while Dennis was asking for help from the canyon town, Surdak was not idle either. He led a group of rebels all the way eastward along the river.
Finally, two days later, we encountered a fleet of thirty flat-bottomed boats.
Dennis was standing on a flat-bottomed boat at the front, waving desperately to everyone.
Everyone got on the boat, and Surdak also returned to the canyon town with the team.
…
This time, in addition to bringing back more than 700 rebel soldiers and their families, he also brought back a high-grade gem base for the somewhat carefree magician Avid who lives in the canyon town.
That's right, he bought this high-grade gem base last night when he and Aphrodite secretly ran back to the largest magic gem store in Bena City.
Just for this gem base inlaid with eight magic crystals, Surdak spent one hundred and thirty magic crystals.
According to the sales manager who sells gem bases, this high-grade gem base can provide a power source for magic airship floating devices and magic cannons.
Of course, temporary teleportation array is also one of them.
The wound on the chest of the magician Avid has almost healed. His relationship with Miss Nora has been heating up rapidly in recent days. He was quite happy to see Suldak return safely from the rebel camp in Bansk Town.
of.
The news that the camp near Bansk Town was attacked by the Lord's Army had reached the Canyon Town a week ago.
Now, not only did Surdak return safely, but he also saved so many rebels along the way. The news spread all of a sudden in the canyon town, and even the magician Avid became the hero of this operation.
When other people talk about this, it is the followers of the magician Avid who saved our people... I heard that they want to join us and build a new camp.
Perhaps for Avid, that camp was his and Miss Nora's love nest.
It was also because of this incident that he knocked on Surdak's door and ran over to discuss setting up a new camp with him. This was an excellent opportunity for them to join the rebel army.
As for when to return to Bena City, he hasn't thought about it recently. Anyway, the temporary teleportation circle is broken... isn't it?
But now a brand new eight-hole high-grade gemstone base is placed on the coffee table in front of him. When Suldak took out the gemstone base, his eyes were filled with 'How is it? I'm very surprised...'
Magician Avid didn't know what to say at this moment.
"So... okay, I'm trying to build a temporary teleportation circle now, but I hope to find a safe place to live, at least for the time being that I won't be allowed to demolish, so that we can be with the dry cloth plane at any time.
Make connections while doing it.”
Avid collected his thoughts and then said to Suldak.
"I've already prepared this. The place we selected is right next to Miss Dennis's house. There are two unused pigeon cage wooden houses here. I have bought them today." Suldak said to Avide with a smile.
: "You have no other objections. How about we go over and take a look at the two wooden houses now..."
"Of course, go now!"
Avid stood up and walked out of the hotel with Surdak.
Over at the Pigeon Cage Wooden House, Dennis is cleaning the two Pigeon Cage Wooden Houses with Thea and Samira.
In fact, Thea and Samira were paddling the entire time, and neither could work as fast as Dennis's two sisters.
"I'm so glad that you are willing to live here in the canyon town..." Dennis, wearing an apron and holding a linen scarf on his head, used a tongs to clean the dust in the corner, and said to Thea sincerely.
Siya stood by the fence, leaned out and looked at the lake in the canyon below, and said casually: "We should be able to live here for a while! I'm not sure about this either..."
