Thea is with Surdak. Her water therapy can heal most of the warriors' minor injuries, but it hurts a little during the treatment process.
At this time, everyone realized that this girl with eyes as beautiful as lakes was actually a water magician. They usually saw this little girl surrounding Lord Surdak all day long, but they didn't expect that she was actually a magician...
The magicians in the law enforcement group are also getting ready to take action, and everyone wants to get to know this beautiful girl.
Among the magicians, only Archmage Harper saw some clues, and he immediately stopped the unreasonable behavior of these magicians who were full of male hormones.
…
The captured black magician took poison and committed suicide before dawn, and did not reveal any information about the Black Magic Priory until his death.
When the merit points were counted the next day, the new soldiers of these infantry regiments realized that the trophies they captured were not handed over for free, but could be exchanged for a certain amount of merit. The heavy armored infantry regiment had issued an announcement that one hundred points of merit would be given.
You can exchange it for a gold coin...
Well, in this battle last night, all the soldiers of the 1st Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment earned their first 100 merit points in their lives.
This alone makes other infantry regiments envious.
Lord Surdak did not keep the captured metal armor in his pocket, but with everyone's efforts, he reassembled 2,500 complete sets of armor.
Subsequently, these sets of armor were issued to the 2nd Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment. In addition, about a thousand infantry soldiers in the 3rd Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment received this captured armor.
There were nearly 4,000 new troops wearing armor in the entire camp.
The quality of this batch of armor is far inferior to the 1,500 sets of heavy armor purchased by Surdak!
Even so, for these infantry recruits, being able to put on a complete set of armor means that they are qualified to participate in the next battle, and everyone is looking forward to this.
When Big Beard captured Takarai Town, although a large amount of supplies were captured, the armor and weapons obtained were very limited.
There are not as many armors and weapons as Surdak captured in this battle.
The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment continued to rest in this camp for a long time...
Afterwards, Surdak took them to another area of Black Crow Ridge.
…
That afternoon, the black magician investigator also found this abandoned camp. When he wanted to follow the clues, he was almost shot down from the air by Samira with an arrow from the Sky Strike Bow.
If this black magician hadn't been proficient in some electrical magic and magic armor, he might have become Samira's trophy.
When he fled back in a hurry and several other infantry regiments of the Third Army came here, all traces of the camp here were covered up by a heavy rain...
…
Six infantry regiment commanders rode horses and circled the ruined camp twice, gathering together with gloomy faces.
The soldiers from the Guards surrounded the open space, forming two distinct circles with the hell dogs.
Not far away, there are some demon servants with stench all over their bodies. They are calming the restless hell dogs.
More than two dozen black magicians were hovering in the sky on magic harpoons. They took the trouble to circle back and forth over the jungle, looking for clues left by the resistance army.
However, these magicians just wandered back and forth in this forest, not daring to fly too far. After all, a lot of their companions had died recently. Who knew whether the next person would be them, so there was nothing wrong with being careful.
This time, the black magician transferred two thousand hell dogs and demon servants from the rear of the Third Legion, just to make these hell dogs play their due role in the jungle.
These vicious hell dogs searched a large circle in the abandoned camp, but unfortunately they found nothing except causing a group of birds in the forest to fly up from the top of the trees and killing a few small animals that were slow to escape.
The black hell dogs roared and whimpered from time to time...
In the eyes of these black magicians, Hell Dogs are much more reliable in combat than the group of infantry soldiers in front of them.
Unfortunately, the black magician did not expect the heavy rain to come so quickly. By the time they arrived, all the smells had been washed away by the heavy rain.
Even the last bit of blood on the ground seeped into the soil.
According to the information provided by the infantry regiment, the magician arrived here early, but unfortunately he has found nothing until now.
The black magician suspected that the disappearance of several black magicians on the outskirts of Bansk half a month ago might have an indirect relationship with the annihilation of the 7th Infantry Regiment.
…
The 7th Infantry Regiment was raided by the rebels at night and was completely wiped out. The 3rd Army Corps finally realized that it had underestimated the opponent's strength.
At the same time, the internal strife within the Third Army finally subsided, and the internal supply line of the Army finally extended to the Black Crow Ridge on the eastern border of Bankstown. Those distinguished cavalry gentlemen were also urged by Glover McDonnell. Get off and drive slowly towards the eastern border.
…
Several infantry regiment commanders gathered together. They were incompatible with the black-robed magicians. Even if they were in the same camp, they despised each other and didn't get along well.
Therefore, the two groups of people rarely get together in normal times. If the 7th Infantry Regiment had not been wiped out this time, they, the regimental commanders, would not have endured the stench and stood in the same abandoned camp with these hell dogs.
The campground was deserted, with only a few extinguished campfires left.
The leader of the First Infantry Regiment was a bald man with a steady personality, and he seemed to speak in an angry voice. I heard him say: "With so many people, have they left any tracking clues?"
His adjutant quickly explained in a low voice: "The rain yesterday covered up all the smells, and now those hell dogs can't do anything about it."
The group leaders glanced at the other side of the ruins, where a black mass of hell dogs gathered, and low roars could be heard from time to time.
"I heard that those demon servants came from Aker Town..."
A young infantry commander was about to tell the gossip he had learned when he was interrupted by a bald man:
"Hey, don't pry around if we don't know. You see, maybe one day we will end up with the same fate as the 7th Infantry Regiment, but at least we will die decently this way. We really have to be offended by talking nonsense.
If you fall in love with some people, they might be used as fertilizer and sprinkled on the vegetable garden. That would be too worthless, and I won’t be willing to accept it..."
Hearing what the bald man said, the infantry regiment leaders who wanted to talk about the recent strange events collectively became silent.
The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment looked around and asked the bald man:
"Where do you think those constructed swordsmen come from?"
The bald man smiled disdainfully and said, "Aside from those stubborn old lords in Bena, is there any province that is willing to train constructed swordsmen?"
The commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment asked with a worried look: "So what are we going to do next? How can our infantry regiment defeat the Constructed Swordsmen!"
"I heard that the legion cavalry are coming soon." The bald man touched his bald head and added: "Master Growa will arrive in the afternoon. I think we should prepare carefully to see him.
When the time comes, there should always be something to say."
The expressions of the several infantry commanders immediately became much more serious. Soon after, the infantry commanders dispersed and led the infantry regiments to conduct a carpet search of the area.
The black magicians also began to urge the Hell Hound Legion to search westward, and they followed them in the air on magic harpoons...
By the afternoon of that day, Glover McDonnell led a group of cavalrymen to arrive at the ruins of the camp.
First, dozens of green-scaled horses emerged from the jungle. They were a group of well-equipped knights, with a young man in the center.
This Young Master Growa looks very similar to Lord MacDonnell when he was young. His eyes are slender, his eye sockets are sunken, with a little dark circles, his face is a little pale, and his skin color is a little sickly. At first glance, he gives people a sense of gaze.
Somewhat sinister, looking at everything around them with a scrutinizing gaze.
Seeing Master Growa arriving at the ruined camp, the black magicians in the sky hurriedly gathered over.
They are very familiar with Growa. If Growa hadn't pulled the strings from him, it would have been difficult for the black magicians to gain a foothold in the Ganbu plane. It was also because of this relationship that Growa Nike was able to transfer from the north.
Three thousand hell dogs and demon servants, as well as fifty black magicians, participated in this battle to annihilate the rebels.
In fact, the encirclement and suppression of the rebels went very smoothly in the past few days. After all, it was the elite troops of Lord MacDonnell's regular lord army. They pushed through five rebel camps with overwhelming force and used two weeks to hunt down and kill them in the mountains.
killed countless rebel fighters.
The only thing that made Growa anxious was that the logistics group of the Third Army was not fully prepared, and there were no businessmen willing to go with the army, resulting in the Third Army being unable to keep up with its logistics supplies.
In addition, because of the victory in the initial stage, there were a lot of voices in the legion.
The contradiction between the cavalry and the infantry also deepened day by day, and these problems left Growa scratching his head.
"Sir McCarthy, what went wrong with the reconnaissance team? So many rebels gathered here and they didn't notice it?" Growa asked the leader of the black magicians, Magician McCarthy.
"A while ago, there were some Rank 2 experts who were hunting our people everywhere in the mountains. Recently, a group of magicians from the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group gathered here. Our flight reconnaissance trajectory has been greatly restricted, and we can't get close to them at all.
The main force..." McCarthy explained gloomily.
He is the leader of this black magician support group, and he has always had a good personal relationship with Growa...
He had lost six black magicians in succession recently, leaving him wondering how to explain to the president when he returned to Aker Town.
Growa's eyes softened a little, and he turned around and asked again:
"Then can you roughly determine the location of this group of rebels?"
Black Magician McCarthy nodded reluctantly and said: "Okay, they should still be lurking in the western mountains of Crow Ridge. Next, I will send the hell dogs out to investigate all areas. I think...the places that cannot be explored are probably their hiding places."
Earth, when will your cavalry regiment arrive on the battlefield here?"
"It won't last more than ten days at most..." Growa said with firm eyes.
"Come here, all the commanders of your infantry regiments. I don't need you here to look for clues about the rebels now. And from now on, you will take all the infantry soldiers to cut down trees in the jungle for me... I need to have an unimpeded path."
The main road from here leads all the way to the town of Bansk, which can facilitate the transportation of strategic materials by the transportation group." Growa held the reins of the war horse in one hand and gave instructions to the infantry commanders who arrived one after another.
The commanders of these infantry regiments didn't care what they were doing. It was much safer to cut down trees in the jungle than to rush to the front line and face the group of constructed swordsmen.
"Yes, Commander Grova."
The infantry commanders took the order one after another, and then quickly retreated to the ruined camp with their infantry regiments.
The reconnaissance team conducting a search mission in the mountains ahead also saw the retreating magic flares, and immediately stopped and used Surdak to withdraw from the Black Crow Ridge as quickly as possible.
…
A heavy armored infantry squad ambushing on the ridge of Black Crow Ridge looked at the Lord's Army infantry reconnaissance team turning away 150 meters down the mountain, and they looked at each other for a moment.
"Why did they retreat?" The infantry soldier crouching behind a boulder looked down the mountain and murmured in a low voice.
"I thought we were going to fight here..." The companion beside him also said with some regret.
"I even pulled out the sword, but they actually slapped their butts and ran away." A soldier put the shining knight's sword back into the scabbard and stretched his neck and said.
In order to find out the situation, this infantry team took advantage of being very familiar with the surrounding environment and ran back to the original ruined camp at night to investigate the situation, only to find that the infantry regiment of the Lord's Army was building a camp here.
A soldier in the team climbed up a tree and looked at the campfire not far away. He said, "They camped at our original camp. Don't tell me, they are quite discerning."
An infantry soldier standing at the front who was in charge of sentry said quickly: "Everyone, be careful, the hell dogs are coming, let's lure them back."
The twelve warriors no longer hesitated, turned around and headed into the dense jungle...
