After the Salamander Ghost Snake was repelled by the Lord's army, the remaining Salamander Ghost Snakes fled back to the river.
Next, the scouts of the Lord Army began to look for a suitable place to build a pontoon along the river bank. These newt ghost snakes were like two kinds of creatures in the river and on the land. If they were like a group of reckless people on the land,
Warriors, then they are like a group of assassins who are proficient in stealth in the river. Their scales are almost completely integrated with the river water. They will only appear for a moment when they release ice arrows.
The pontoon bridges built by the Lord Army several times were destroyed by these newt ghost snakes.
At this time, Surdak finally realized what a headache these newt ghost snakes were. They were the masters of the rivers in this area.
As long as they are not completely eliminated, the lord's army will not be able to enter the hinterland of this plain.
The magician group led by Lance has been busy exploring the area around the Three Rivers Plains in recent days. They recorded all the landforms they saw in the magic crystal and brought Surdak with them. Lance did not expect Surdak.
Ke actually asked their magicians to record every mountain range in detail.
These image information were made into maps by Surdak in his military camp.
On this map with accurate images provided by magicians, you can clearly see a grand canyon upstream of the river in the Three Rivers Plain.
According to Surdak's plan, if you want to enter the hinterland of the Three Rivers Plain, you must completely clean up the community of newts and ghost snakes entrenched near the rivers in the plain.
In fact, on the first day when the Lord Army arrived in the Sanhe Plain, they experienced a battle with the newt ghost snakes and killed hundreds of newt ghost snakes. These newt ghost snakes have always been huddled at the bottom of the river, no matter how they were lured.
Huodu refused to come out again. Even though the Lord's army had some perfect people, it became very difficult to clean up these newts and ghost snakes along the coast.
The Lord Army has no Naga warriors and cannot fight the newts, ghost snakes in the water.
After some consideration, Surdak decided to lead this lord's army up the river and stationed himself next to a valley in front of the Grand Canyon. This valley was only separated from the Grand Canyon by a mountain. The lord's army was here.
After setting up camp, Surdak did not rush to arrange combat missions, but asked all the lords' troops to rest where they were.
In the past few days, he only sent out some scout teams every day to explore the surrounding areas, and at the same time, he also hunted down the magical beasts lurking around.
Although the scout team made some gains every day, the Lord Army did not successfully enter the Three Rivers Plain.
The merchant group accompanying the army can purchase some Warcraft materials every day, but the quantity is not very large. Some merchants have even begun to complain that tens of thousands of lords' troops are waiting here, and it costs a lot to feed people and horses every day. It is not the scout team that hunts these Warcraft.
What can be compensated is that if no loot is captured, the merchants will not have much income.
The adventure group following the military merchant group discovered that this time was a rare opportunity. For this group of adventurers, the border buildings of the Three Rivers Plain were a paradise-like hunting ground, and the riverside was full of newts, ghosts, and snakes.
Usually they appear in groups. Even if the adventure group discovers them, they will choose to go around because of their large number.
But now that they are all hiding at the bottom of the river, the adventure group has some special means to hunt them down one by one.
More and more adventure groups began to hunt salamanders and ghost snakes by this river. On the contrary, the Lord Army has done nothing in the past few days...
Two days later, the merchants accompanying the army suddenly discovered that a large number of migrant workers had gathered outside the camp, and these migrant workers were basically hired from Plantos Town. On the first day they arrived at the camp, they began to dig branch channels next to the river.
, they braved the scorching sun from the exit of the Grand Canyon, preparing to dig a drainage canal to the north.
In this way, the river water flowing down from the upstream can be diverted.
Although these migrant workers look a little dark and thin in everything they do, they are very easy to manage.
As long as the foreman releases the task to them and takes them to get the tools, they can start working immediately.
While the soldiers of the Lord's Army were still wondering what these migrant workers could do here, Surdak had already completed the survey of the path of this drainage channel.
Subsequently, this group of migrant workers and a group of ordinary soldiers began to dig the drainage channel at the same time.
This drainage channel with a length of two kilometers actually does not require many places to be dug manually. Under the leadership of Tula, this drainage channel was dug in only seven days, although many places still need to be dug.
It needs to be widened a little, but it can already lead the water of this river to the valley on the other side.
As a result, the river is divided into two at the exit of the Grand Canyon.
Later, Suldak asked the soldiers and workers to put the stones dug out from the drainage canal into a large barbed wire mesh. The stones were wrapped in barbed wire bags and thrown into the original channel of the river.
It took just three days to completely cut off the river, and all the river water was directed into the valley next door along the drainage canal.
Due to the cutoff in the downstream river, the water level dropped little by little, gradually revealing the river bed full of silt...
In this way, the newts and ghost snakes that were lurking at the bottom of the river were exposed to people's sight again. They originally tried to hide in the soft mud under the river bed. When the mud on the river bed was exposed to the scorching sun, the mud
Cracks began to appear, and these newt ghost snakes realized that the situation was not good. They began to crawl out of the mud of the river bed and fled in all directions.
A row of crossbows has been placed on the grass beside the river. What a group of archers have to do is to kill the newts and ghost snakes crawling out of the mud at the bottom of the river. Almost all of them have bodies removed from their bodies.
After emerging from the mud, his body was covered in mud and lost all flexibility, so he became the target of a crossbow on the river bed.
Giant crossbow arrows were shot out one after another, quickly harvesting the lives of the newt and ghost snake.
Only then did the other lord armies and adventure groups standing on the shore realize...it turns out that the war with Warcraft can still be fought like this.
The salamander ghost snakes that died tragically at the bottom of the river were picked up by the soldiers and thrown into the four-wheeled truck of the business group without any treatment, and then some magic crystals could be harvested from the businessmen.
Surdak did not collect the heads of these newt ghost snakes this time. These heads were severely broken, and they were only elementary sacrifices.
Once the newt ghost snake dies, its entire body begins to decay rapidly. When the soldiers bring their corpse up, it looks like a slug without any skin, with sticky mucus everywhere on its body.
Without the protection of the river, even if these newt ghost snakes managed to escape into the grassland by the river, they would not be able to escape being shot by members of the adventure group who swarmed behind them.
Suddenly, the garrison camp on the edge of the Grand Canyon was filled with joy, and while the river stopped flowing, the Lord Army quickly built bridge piers with some stones in the river channel, preparing to build several stone arch bridges here.
The merchant group accompanying the army finally obtained a large amount of cheap materials for the Salamander Ghost Snake, as well as a large number of first-level magic cores.
In addition to the Salamander Ghost Snake, the Lord Army also harvested some Gambis Devil Fish.
Immediately afterwards, Andrew led a cavalry regiment of 500 people across the dry river and entered the plain...
