"I am usually only responsible for some trivial matters here in the fortress. Deans and Musta can also do these things very well, but rather than doing chores in the fortress, I am more looking forward to going to the neutral area south of the defense zone.
look."
The three people gathered in front of the counter of the logistics team. Old Heyman poured Bart a cup of black tea, and the three people gathered around the counter to peel nuts with daggers.
"I heard that the battle damage rate of the patrol teams that enter there has always been around 50%..."
Suldak said to Bart.
"Is this information that old Heyman gave you for free?" Bart asked Suldak.
Suldak nodded.
"This is old Heyman's nonsense. His only purpose in doing this is to make you more careful!" Bart said with a smile.
"You kid, you're always going to make trouble for others!" Old Heyman laughed and cursed at Bart.
Bart just laughed and asked Suldak: "Did Old Heyman ask you to help him bring something back from the neutral area this time?"
Surdak asked with a look of astonishment: "Are these the past practices?"
"The patrol team wanted to go south a few times and Old Heyman also made various requests. This is indeed the routine of the logistics team!"
Bart threw one of these into his mouth. The bitterness in his mouth made him frown. Although the aftertaste was sweet, he still didn't want to eat it again.
"Is there any information about neutral areas?" Suldak asked old Heyman.
Old Heyman dug out another old hand-drawn map from the cabinet and pushed it to Suldak.
"There is a relatively reliable map. As for what threats there are in neutral areas, I hope you don't rely on what is written in these reports, because those things that are not written on them are the real dangers to you. The more detailed the
The report will become more dependent on you...so I won't give it to you."
"When you go to a neutral area for the first time, everything must be focused on exploration. You are both hunters and prey, so you must pay attention to safety."
Old Heyman warned Suldak.
The three of them chatted in the logistics team for a while, and when they were about to leave, Surdak said to Bart:
"Oh, we will set off tomorrow morning. Before then, try to bring as many supplies as possible for the battle."
Bart immediately said: "Got it."
Suldak drank the black tea in the cup, jumped down from the high chair, and walked to the door before he seemed to remember something, turned around and said:
"Bart..."
Bart put down the tea cup in his hand and turned to look at Suldak: "Huh?"
Surdak drew a circle in front of his chest with one hand and said casually: "There are just a few of us. There is no need to add more people. This time we are not going to help the poor in a neutral zone..."
After saying that, he opened the door and left the logistics team.
"knew."
Bart exhaled, then looked at Old Heyman, and the two began to discuss what to bring out from the logistics team.
I heard that Surdak's patrol team was preparing to explore the neutral zone. The construct knights and swordsmen in the Blue Bridge Fortress were all talking about this matter during dinner.
From time to time, everyone glanced at the dining area where Team Surdak was dining.
It was also at this time that Bart officially dined with Surdak and his party.
Deans and Musta sat next to Bart's team and ate in silence with their heads down.
After finishing the meal, when Surdak walked out of the restaurant, some patrol team captains would take the initiative to say something to Surdak when they saw him:
"Hey, Captain Duck, I heard you are going out on patrol tomorrow?"
"Yes!"
"I wish you all the best..."
"Thanks!"
Surdak could clearly feel the admiration conveyed by other teams...
…
In the early morning of the 18th, Suldak led the patrol team to leave the Blue Bridge Fortress and walked along the mountain road on the east side, passing through several fortress jurisdictions along the way. It took three days to get from the precipitous to the fortress.
Come out of the mountain road.
Yalu Fortress is located at the southernmost end of the east mountain ridge. There is only a rugged mountain road leading to the foot of the mountain. There are steep cliffs on both sides of the road. From a distance, it looks like an artificial slope.
The Yalu Fortress, located at the southernmost end of the eastern ridge, looks easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If we hadn't known that demon warriors often bypassed Yalu Fortress and secretly entered the imperial defense zone, we would have thought that there was really only such a dangerous road!
However, even if there are other passages, they are basically steep mountain passes that require climbing over rock walls to sneak to the rear.
Because Vicidus Fortress was re-captured by the Green Empire.
During the recent period, basically no large-scale smuggling operations were carried out by demon warriors, and no demon warriors hiding in the mountains on the east side were found along the way to Surdak.
As the bridgehead of the Green Empire, the ordnance and guard forces deployed on the walls of Yalu Fortress are obviously much more than those of Blue Bridge Fortress...
Surdak did not enter the Yalu Fortress to rest. Instead, he passed directly through the Yalu Fortress and walked along the steep mountain road all the way down the east side of the mountain. This is considered the eastern edge of the Seventh District and can be seen several kilometers away.
of Death Ridge.
At the end of the mountain ridge on the east side, there is an area next to the extinct vegetation. In addition to the accumulated gravel, there are cracked stone slabs everywhere, and countless cracks extend from the large stone slabs.
In addition to some shrubs that can be seen at the foot of Death Ridge, there are only some rolling gravels on the Gobi Desert at the end of the mountain ridge on the east side.
"Originally, this was also the main battlefield in the Empire's garrison area. However, the fighting in the past few years was so severe that the entire land was cracking and collapsing. The rocks and space here have become extremely unstable, so this place can no longer be used as the main battlefield.
." Kali Decker rode on horseback and introduced to Suldak. "The demons have always hoped to capture the Yalu Fortress, but they have never succeeded!"
When the black-scaled horse's iron hooves step on the cracked stone slabs, the slabs will break into smaller and faster gravels.
When a group of people passed by this stone road, the war horses left a row of extremely clear hoof prints on the ground.
This is the eastern edge of the battlefield in District 7. Looking to the east, you can easily see the end of this land. To the east of the end is the endless void...
The Surdak team did not stop on the Gobi Desert, which could collapse at any time and had unobstructed views of the surrounding scenery. The team headed along the Gobi Desert towards Death Ridge and set up camp on the edge of Death Ridge.
I saw Suldak stringing lunch cans together with ropes and arranging the ropes around the camp.
Bart asked Surdak with a surprised look on his face: "Have you seen the Hell Mantis?"
Surdak took out a bone sickle that was almost dry from his arms and asked Bart: "Is this what you are talking about?"
"Have you really hunted this thing before..."
Bart squatted next to the campfire and placed an iron pot on it. Although the team was located on the edge of the dry Gobi Desert, the team was not short of water.
Bart poured the water from the water bag into the cooking pot and waited for the water to boil...
Samira had abandoned her war horse in the camp and climbed up the side of Death Ridge alone to explore the surrounding situation.
Gary Decker and Andrew began to build a tent, while the Ogre brothers moved a few large rocks and placed them in the camp to serve as simple tables and chairs.
In the team, no one will tell you what to do next, but everyone performs their duties and cooperates seamlessly...
"They like to go out at night, they are cunning and greedy by nature, so I prepared this..."
Surdak pulled out a magic sealing box from his magic pocket, and there was actually a whole chilled pig leg inside. Surdak casually cut two knives on the pig leg and hung it on the
On a shelf next to the campfire.
"Gulitem...if you watch it, it will be your breakfast tomorrow morning. If you don't watch it, it will become the midnight snack of the mantis in hell!" Surdak waved the plump pig leg in his hand and put the iron in his hand.
The rack was pushed towards the bonfire, allowing the heat from the bonfire to roast the pork legs.
When the two-headed ogre heard what Surdak said, he immediately dropped the stone in his hand and came over to look at the pig leg carefully.
Both Gulitem and Naohua were so greedy that their mouths watered. Naohua was still beside him and kept saying: "Just roast it slowly on a low fire. Wait until early tomorrow morning when the pork leg is cooked, and you can bite it casually. It will be fresh and tender."
The fat meat will leave the bones and squeeze into our mouths...it is absolutely delicious!”
"Dak, have you sprinkled salt on it?" Gulitem asked seriously.
"Not yet..." Surdak said.
"Before baking this, you must sprinkle a little salt on it..."
Upon seeing the pig leg, the two-headed ogre immediately became a professional chef.
However, the subsequent scene also completely overturned Bart's view of this team, because throughout the night, the hell mantises who wanted to sneak into the camp did not stop. However, when Bart crawled out of the tent in the morning, he discovered that except for two mantises,
In addition to being hung on the iron rack and roasted together with the pig legs, the other hell mantis corpses were all piled outside the tent.
Surdak took a skinning team and began to dismember these hell mantises with his own hands.
Bart had great doubts in his heart: "So... what about fighting?"
This hell mantis, which was talked about with disdain by the Green Empire's construct knights, did not feel the slightest threat in front of the Surdak team.
And it was obvious that the two hell mantises had been roasted. Gulitem took one of the hell mantises off the shelf, laid it flat on the stone platform, and used a dagger to cut open the mantis's plump abdomen, revealing a bright yellow color like corn.
The same insect seeds, these roasted insect seeds exude a mouth-watering aroma.
The two-headed ogre brothers burst into cheers of joy at this moment, took out a spoon from their waist, scooped up these delicious proteins and stuffed them into their mouths.
When he saw Bart looking straight at him, he immediately handed the spoon over in a friendly manner and asked: "Bart, do you want some?"
