Twenty thousand infantrymen of the Heavy Armored Infantry Corps left the town of Samp on the shores of Lake Bellanomah and entered the eastern plateau.
The land here is sparsely populated, and the vast land is covered with green grass. You can walk dozens of kilometers eastward from Samp Town.
It can be said that this is the large pasture where Lord MacDonnell once raised war horses, but now there is not even a single living animal in the entire pasture, let alone horses, cattle and sheep.
In addition to the lush green grass,
Only the vultures in the sky that refused to come down were left.
However, those white hell dog feces have not yet melted into the soil.
The rabbit holes on the grass seemed to have been dug by cavemen, and there were even some traces of rabbit fur left at the entrance of the holes. They were obviously hunted to death by the cavemen and hell dogs.
The mages rode magic harpoons and circled around the infantry regiment to patrol.
Soon, a group of hell dogs lurking in the deep grass were discovered behind a mound. The number was not even more than a hundred. Surdak asked the heavy armored infantry regiment to march as usual.
Only a light cavalry regiment of the Luther Legion was sent to clean out the hell dogs.
He was worried that there were three hellhounds hiding among the dogs,
Then he asked Samira to set off with the light cavalry regiment to carry out this hunting mission.
With the second-level strong men mixed in the team, the light cavalry successfully completed the hunting mission.
The light cavalry also know that there is a merit exchange list in the legion. As long as you have merit, you can exchange for many valuable and good things. Even if you don't want those precious magic items, you can still exchange for some gold coins at worst.
It is precisely because of this benefit that the cavalrymen in the light cavalry regiment feel like they have been given a shot of blood when performing their missions.
They fought very bravely, mainly because the cavalry were not afraid of being injured. As long as they were not killed on the spot, they could be revived by Surdak when they returned to the military camp.
The light cavalry are all very good bow riders. On the grassland, they rely on their excellent endurance to fight horses. It can be said that they come and go like the wind on the grassland.
All low-level demons who try to sneak up on the heavy armored infantry regiment will be directly exposed to the eyes of the mages who are conducting reconnaissance in the sky.
The magicians kept discovering low-level demons all day long, and then sent the light cavalry regiment to clean them up.
When these light cavalry returned, each of them had a bloody linen bag hanging on their saddle, which was almost full of hell dog heads.
The light cavalry harvested many Hell Hound heads along the way, making other soldiers in the legion envious.
…
Great Swordsman Quintus sent a message of ‘Come to Acre Town soon’.
Surdak did not want to be delayed on the road.
They would set out every day before dawn, and they would set up camp on the spot when it was basically completely dark. Three meals a day were dry food eaten during the march. The conditions were very difficult. Surdak even gave up his Qinglin horse.
The horses also gave way to carry the supplies carried by the legion.
He mingled with the infantry regiment, ate and lived with everyone, and walked all the way to Aker Town.
Since the top commander in the legion has set an example like this, the soldiers have no complaints.
The marching speed was not slow. After seven days of continuous walking, the heavy armored infantry regiment arrived at the boundary monument of Aker Town. A huge stone more than seven meters high stood by the roadside. There was no writing on it. In the center of the huge stone
A huge rune is engraved in its place.
With years of exposure to wind and sun, the traces of the rune have become somewhat blurred, but when Surdak saw the rune the first time he saw it, he recognized it as a symbol in the language of runes.
The army hurriedly passed in front of Runeterra and walked along a road with no grass for more than a day.
Finally arrived at Ake Town at the foot of the eastern Daxue Mountains.
The flat plateau ends abruptly at the town of Aker,
The terrain to the north suddenly turned into steep snow ridges,
Even the east side is full of towering and steep snow-capped mountains.
Along the way, the light cavalry regiment hunted at least dozens of small groups of hellhounds. They were considered the most profitable group in the legion.
When entering the town of Acre, two magicians happened to come out of the town to greet them, but they did not see the great swordsman Quintus and the great swordsman Chester.
Although Surdak knew that this place had been cleared by the Constructed Swordsmen Group, he did not expect that the Constructed Swordsmen Group had completely occupied Aker Town. The hell demons here were dying and running away.
Very quiet.
After asking the two magicians, he learned that the Great Swordsman Quintas and the Great Swordsman Chester each led a team of constructed swordsmen into the Snowy Mountains to clean up the stronghold of the Black Magic Hermitage in the snowy mountains.
This time, the Constructed Swordsmen Group assembled more than 1,500 Constructed Swordsmen, and the two great swordsmen each took away 500 swordsmen.
There are only five hundred constructed swordsmen left who cannot completely control the entire town of Aker, and can only guard the most important magic area in the town.
Although the Constructed Swordsmen would occasionally find time to hunt down low-level demons in the town, forcing them to hide everywhere, the Constructed Swordsmen have never been able to completely eradicate these low-level demons.
To this day, there are still some Hellhounds, Gog and Shadow Demons hiding in many houses in the town.
There are many cavemen hiding in the underground tunnels.
They are probably afraid of being killed, so they all hide during the day and only come out at night.
There are dark clouds over Aker Town, and the Snowy Mountains only have white snow on their peaks. When you enter the town, you will feel the wind blowing in front of you with a biting coldness.
There was deathly silence over the entire town of Aker. There were traces of battles everywhere. Only the figures of swordsmen could be seen on the main street. Surdak seemed to be able to feel the strong demonic aura of the town.
There are no walls in Ake Town. The outermost part of the town is connected by the courtyard walls of the town's residents' houses. The courtyard walls made of bluestone are uneven. Some courtyards are full of trees, and some courtyards only have simple walls.
A main street extends out. Occasionally, flaming Gog can be seen from the walls and windows of houses, and there are also figures of cavemen in some ditches.
They looked very alert, but they just appeared and disappeared the next second.
The army did not enter Aker Town immediately. Surdak, Archmage Harper, Samira, Gulitem and others followed the two magicians to the magic area in the northwest corner of the town.
Along the way, Suldak found that Aker Town was much more dilapidated than Samp Town. The doors and windows of many buildings were extremely damaged, and the wooden furniture in the rooms was also covered with black blood stains. There were messy traces of battles everywhere.
But as time passed, the town became filled with a kind of decadence.
It can be seen that when the low-level demons appeared in Aker Town, the residents of the entire town were probably unprepared.
The mottled bloodstains on the wall seemed to recreate the scene that day. The residents of the town were unable to respond to the sudden change. Almost everyone in the town died from the mouth of the hell dog, and some
It is here that the inhabitants become demonic servants.
Some wooden buildings only have a little black frame left, and the masonry houses have also suffered serious collapse. Some dark purple weeds have begun to grow on some dark soil in the town. Those are only found in the hell world.
plant.
Obviously Aker Town has been seriously invaded by demons, and even the environment here has been demonized to a certain extent.
The Magic District was also severely damaged. Many shops seemed to have caught fire and have now been turned into ruins.
Surdak rode a blue-scaled horse into Acre Town. It can be seen that this town is also quite prosperous. There are many shops on the central street of Acre Town. If it were not for the blood stains on the walls and glass, Surdak even felt that
I entered an ancient city that had been dusty for a long time.
Many magic shop doors are open, the products inside have long been invisible, and many shelves have collapsed.
Most of the street trees on both sides of the street have died, and some purple plants are even growing in the flower beds. Those purple leaves obviously do not need sunlight and rain to grow well.
Suldak raised his head and saw the magic tower in the town. It was a three-story circular building made of stone. It was not very tall, but it was like a three-story birthday cake, round and flat.
, and there are also exterior cloisters and exquisite stone pillars with reliefs.
In front of the Magic Tower is a huge square, with a pool in the middle that no longer sprays water. The water in the pool is actually purple.
Seeing the huge pyramid-shaped altar made of skeletons in the square, Suldak's heart felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. His heart seemed to suddenly stop at this moment. It was a pyramid-shaped altar made of corpses.
It would take at least several thousand corpses to build an altar of that size.
These corpses piled up on the altar should be sacrifices. Their bodies have no blood, their faces are hideous, and they look like mummies.
The altar in the square was tightly tied with silver chains. These chains were actually as thick as arms, and they were connected from the altar to all sides of the square.
Only then did Surdak notice the square in front of the magic tower. There seemed to be a large array made up of hundreds of magic rune boards. There were also magic lines drawn between these magic rune boards.
The connection seems to be the work of a certain great magician.
Streams of mana were drawn from around the square and continuously poured into the center of the altar.
At this time, Surdak turned his head and looked at Archmage Harper. There was no surprise on his face, and it was immediately clear that he must have known about it.
Since it was the mage group that always delivered the news from the Constructed Swordsmen Group, Surdak didn't know that there was such a large magic circle in Aker Town.
Suldak and Archmage Harper followed the two magicians to the edge of the square. The two magicians said to Archmage Harper: "Teacher Harper, Teacher Morrison is on the altar!"
Archmage Harper nodded slightly, turned to Suldak and asked with a smile: "How about it, do you want to go up with me and have a look?"
Surdak touched his nose and said to Archmage Harper: "Great Swordsman Quintas wrote a letter urging me to come to Aker Town. Is it probably because of this?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the altar in front of him...
