After discovering that the Lord Army was trying to enter the Dark Worm Valley through the cave, the Ghostly Red Ants launched a fierce counterattack in order to prevent the Lord Army from invading.
The cave is overwhelmingly crowded with ghost-patterned soldier ants, and they are trying to use their numerical superiority to retake the cave. Most of Surdak's lord army are heavy armored infantry warriors, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong, but Surdak
There are several second-level experts around him, as well as half of the Constructed Knights.
Under the leadership of Andrew, a heavy armored infantry regiment first seized the entrance to the cave.
The ghost-patterned red ants launched a fierce counterattack. The heavy armored infantry regiment could not withstand the attack of the ghost-patterned soldier ants. Then Andrew mobilized half of the Constructed Knights to the battlefield and immediately stabilized the battle situation at the entrance of the cave.
Subsequently, the commanders of other lord armies also petitioned Surdak, hoping that their armies could also fight in the cave battlefield, so Surdak organized these lord armies into eight teams, with four teams every day.
They appear in the cave battlefield alternately, and it takes two days to complete a major rotation.
However, due to the unprecedented fierce resistance of the ghost-striped soldier ants here, not only casualties occurred every day, but the Lord Army did not successfully capture the cave, and the battle continued at the entrance of the cave. Andrew and Tago led the Construct Knights several times
The elite soldiers pushed back the ghost-patterned soldier ants, but this group of ghost-patterned soldier ants were able to regain the lost position every time they changed defenses.
After entering November, the temperature in Bailin plane dropped suddenly, but the war situation here has been in a stalemate.
Surdak's army of lords fought with the ghostly patterned soldier ants, and there were new gains every day, but they were unable to penetrate the depths of the cave.
The merchant group that follows the army can purchase the corpses of hundreds of ghost-striped soldier ants almost every day, and some lucky infantry soldiers pick up some gems similar to citrine from the caves. These uncut raw gemstones also reach out to follow the army.
The pursuit of caravans.
In this way, many caravans and adventure groups appeared in the northern occupied area of the Bailin plane this winter. It is said that the adventure groups that first followed the lord army into the Three Rivers Plain had already found their first pot of gold. Now
The adventure group that entered the mountains outside the Dark Worm Valley also made a lot of money.
On this long supply line that passes through the Invercargill forests, hills and mountains, and the Dodan Gorge, there are trucks transporting supplies almost everywhere.
This plane war is actually constantly squeezing out the wealth contained in the Dark Worm Valley, and the wealth itself is these ghost-patterned soldier ants.
This was also the original purpose of Surdak's original plan to come to the Bailin plane. He needed to raise a sum of money to invest in Ruit City to change the city's current "dirty, messy" predicament, and he also wanted to invest in Ruit City.
Hanging gardens are built on the outer city walls. Only in this way can this ancient city attract some investors and tourists again.
The ghost-striped soldier ants were transported to Bena City one by one, and their meat became delicacies on people's tables, and their hard armor was sent to the leather-making workshop.
These hard leathers are excellent materials for making war horse armor. Currently, merchants from the western provinces have gone to Bena Province to purchase some of this kind of hard leathers.
Surdak didn't know how many ghost-patterned soldier ants were hiding in the Dark Worm Valley.
In the past month, the Lord's army had killed nearly at least ten thousand ghost-marked soldier ants on the battlefield at the entrance of the cave.
Judging from the current signs, the ghost-striped soldier ants seem to be endless, constantly pouring into the battlefield through the caves. In order to form a numerical suppression on the battlefield, the red ants rush to the battlefield and never go back. Either
Die in battle, or die from exhaustion after fighting hard until the end.
Even Surdak threw some black powder barrels on the battlefield, but he couldn't make these ghost-patterned soldier ants who were fighting hard on the battlefield retreat.
During this time, the ghost-striped male ants in the Dark Worm Valley often emerged from the ground. They often emerged from the lake and attacked the logistics supply line behind the Lord's army. However, Surdak was also prepared for this.
The mage group has been conducting reconnaissance and surveillance in various places. As long as these ghost-marked male ants dare to show up, they will soon be rushed to the battlefield by the cavalry led by Samira or Kali Decker, and these ghost-marked male ants will be dealt with immediately.
ant.
The magic core in the magic sealing box can be filled almost every few days, and the magic materials harvested in addition are sent to the merchants and exchanged for gold coins, which can completely offset the daily expenses of the lord's army.
By the beginning of December, someone in the Lord Army finally accumulated enough merit points and successfully redeemed the set of magic patterns on the list.
This swordsman, who is affectionately called Lao Mao by his companions, is just a swordsman in his prime. He is the commander of the 7th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment of Lord Collins' Army. During the battle, he wields as much power as a screwdriver in his hand.
With a bee stinger and a sharp storm sword, he can kill almost randomly in the soldier ant colony. This month alone, more than 300 ghost-marked soldier ants died in his own hands.
His life-saving fighting style also caused him to be injured repeatedly, and he was sent to Surdak for treatment every time.
When he exchanged for a brand new magic pattern structure, he immediately ran to the gate of the military camp and put on the entire set of magic pattern structure on his body in full view of everyone.
Many soldiers from the Lord's Army cast envious glances at him when they passed by him.
It was when the magic pattern construction suits on the merit list were redeemed that those warriors who had accumulated a lot of merits retreated to the next best thing and began to redeem other rewards.
Some people exchanged it for a single magic pattern structure, some exchanged it for magic weapons, and some even simply exchanged some magic crystals and sent them home through the military merchant group.
The profiteering side of war is vividly displayed in front of these Lord Army soldiers.
The soldiers of the Lord's Army also gradually became familiar with the way of fighting these ghost-striped soldier ants, and the Lord's Army's battle line began to slowly advance into the cave.
In fact, the most difficult thing here is that the ghost-patterned soldier ants that have just rushed to the battlefield will pour out the acidic liquid stored in their belly towards the Lord's army. Even the tower shield cannot completely block this corrosive liquid, which is almost the same as
Soldiers who have fought against the ghost-patterned soldier ants will have such corrosive wounds on their bodies.
Although not fatal, it is very painful.
Now in the entire wounded soldier treatment camp, most of them are infantry soldiers whose skin has been burned and corroded, and even the bright red muscles and white bones inside are exposed.
For Surdak, during this month of fighting, he was able to obtain some precious life magic patterns from the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants that occasionally appeared. Originally, these life magic patterns were used to form another half of the construct.
Knights, to strengthen those magic pattern war horses and construct knights, but now, Surdak will also implant these life magic patterns into wounded soldiers who have lost large areas of skin.
Of course, Surdak will not take out these magic patterns for free. These warriors who were cured after being seriously injured rejoined Surdak's lord army after their bodies recovered...
