When the news that Darcy Christie was critically ill was sent to Ruit City...
Surdak is organizing thirty heavy armored infantry regiments.
These heavy armored infantry are the elite troops stationed in the Ganbu plane. They not only participated in the demon wars in the Ganbu plane, but also performed very well on the battlefields of the Three Rivers Plain and the Dark Worm Valley in the Bailin plane.
Now after some rest and reorganization, it has become an elite infantry regiment in the Ganbu plane. There are thirty heavy armored infantry regiments with a total of 45,000 people. This time they will take the magic airship arranged by the military department to go to Bena City together.
These thirty heavy armored infantry regiments will temporarily live in temporary military camps outside Bena City. Once the magicians of the Astrologer Union complete the construction of the magic teleportation array leading to Ivorson City, the heavy armored infantry will be
The first batch of troops rushed to Ivorson City.
This time, the Eastern Route Army under the command of Surdak had a total strength of nearly 120,000 troops, and the heavy armored infantry regiment alone had a total strength of 100,000.
Surdak controls 45,000 direct infantry warriors, and another 55,000 heavy armored infantry warriors were gathered from the hands of the lords of Bena Province after the recruitment order issued by the military headquarters.
, how much combat power they have is still unknown.
According to past practice, some incompetent heavy armored infantry regiments are just a group of cannon fodder on the battlefield.
However, this time Surdak did not intend to let them serve as cannon fodder. At least until all those ghostly patterned soldier ants died, Surdak would not withdraw them to serve as cannon fodder.
Since this is a recruitment order issued by the Military Headquarters, the Military Headquarters will be responsible for the logistical support of the lord's army this time when the army marches to the Warsaw plane.
This includes the most troublesome transportation issues, including material transportation and legion transportation.
The military headquarters built a temporary teleportation gate in Bena City, so it became very simple for the army to go from Bena City to Ivorson City. In other words, they could just go through the teleportation gate and reach the outside of Ivorson City.
In addition, Surdak's Lord's Army gathered from Ruit City to Bena City, and the military headquarters also took on the task of transporting the infantry regiment.
At this moment, there are sixty magic airships floating in the sky around the airport terminal of Ruit City. Since the airport of Ruit City has only one tower and can only dock two magic airships at the same time, the steps of the airport tower
Crowded with long lines of heavy armored infantry warriors, the infantry warriors wore thick heavy armor, with craftsman's swords hanging on their waists, carrying spears, and tower shields on their backs. They all looked like dark iron sheets.
can.
In addition to weapons and armor, each infantry soldier carries a bulging travel bag behind his back, which contains seven days of marching rations, as well as outdoor survival supplies such as sleeping bags and rainproof cloths.
Surdak's lord army has just experienced the Bailin Plane War, and each warrior has received a sum of money, so their luggage is also bulging this time.
One after another, after being filled with heavy armored infantry, the magic airships immediately activated their floating devices with all their strength.
The magic airship rose slowly and disappeared into the clouds in an instant.
Looking at the magic airship soaring into the sky, Financial Officer Kurt, who was standing next to Suldak, sighed: "The military department is so wealthy that they actually sent sixty magic airships to transport the infantry regiment to Bena in one fell swoop.
city!"
Siya held a parchment booklet, looked up at the sky from behind Surdak, narrowed her clear blue eyes and said:
"What's an airship? Doesn't Bena City still have a temporary teleportation circle? That's a big deal!"
Financial Officer Kurt lowered his head and calculated silently, and then asked Suldak:
"I heard that this time all the 220,000 troops will arrive in Ivorson City through the temporary teleportation array?"
Hearing Treasurer Kurt say this, Surdak realized that the military department was really willing to spend money in order for the lords to go to the Warsaw plane this time.
Surdak remembered that he had secretly entered Mukuso City with a group of second-level powerhouses through the temporary teleportation circle built by the space magician Avide on the Ganbu plane and arrested Lord MacDonald.
At that time, there were only more than 40 rank-2 experts, and the military department spent a lot of money on teleportation fees.
The temporary teleportation circle that was now built actually had to teleport 220,000 lords' army. Surdak was confused for a moment. How many magic crystals would be burned?
"Although the large temporary teleportation array is expensive to build, the teleportation fee is not as exaggerated as the small temporary teleportation array. The magic crystals burned by the space magic hub every day are constant, and the number of teleporters reaches a certain number.
When , the transmission costs shared by each person are not so exaggerated..."
Everyone was standing at the airport terminal discussing the transportation costs of the military, and the president of the Magic Guild personally explained it to everyone.
However, everyone only understood the first few sentences, and few people on the scene could understand the principles of space magic such as the magic arrangement matrix and the magic hub building a space bridge.
As for why the president of the Magic Guild is standing here, it’s because during this expedition to the Warsaw plane, the Luit Magic Guild sent thirty magicians to join Surdak’s lord army, and he came here specifically to say goodbye.
Of those young magicians.
These magicians will once again form an independent aerial reconnaissance team to help Surdak detect the actual situation on the battlefield.
Facts have proved that these magicians riding magic harpoons may not be able to turn the tide of the battle by throwing a few fireballs on the battlefield, but as long as the investigation work is done carefully, it will be of great help to the subsequent battle.
Standing on the command podium under the high tower of the airport terminal, with a sullen face and saying nothing, it was not until all 45,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers boarded the magic airship and ascended into the night sky that he turned around and said, "Xiya
Ya, prepare the magic caravan, I am going to go to Halanza City..."
Siya walked quickly to the gate of the airport terminal with the sheepskin book in her arms, and soon a magic caravan stopped in Surdak.
Surdak got into the carriage without saying a word. He didn't even have time to say a few words of thanks to the president of the Magic Guild. He just waved goodbye to them and hurriedly left the airport terminal.
"What happened?" Siya sat across from Suldak and asked cautiously when she saw that Surdak looked a little ugly.
Suldak handed the letter to Siya.
Seeing the sentence on the letter, Thea hurriedly asked: "How about Lord Consul Christie?"
Suldak shook his head and said: "I don't know what the specific situation is yet..."
…
Thea did not follow Surdak to Hellanza City, she wanted to stay and handle the daily affairs of the city hall on behalf of Surdak.
In fact, after the magic caravan drove out of Ruit City overnight, Suldak chose to get off the car at a quiet place, and Siya took this magic caravan back to the castle in Ruit City.
Standing in the quiet woods, Surdak stepped into the void magic circle and came to Aphrodite's lava mine.
Seeing Surdak coming out of the void magic circle, Aphrodite put her daughter into the cradle and asked Surdak: "Why are you here? It's not that the army will be reorganized recently, at least.
How many days will it take to come over?"
"Something happened to Darcy. I have to go to Hellanza City to have a look!" Surdak did not stop in the lava mine. He walked quickly to his daughter's cradle, picked up her and walked beside the lava pool.
He walked around, kissed her tender forehead again, and then put her back into the cradle with some reluctance.
Then Surdak walked quickly to the entrance of the cave. Aphrodite sat on the recliner and reminded him: "There is a magic-patterned war horse prepared at the warehouse of the sulfur mine. You can ride that horse!"
Do you need me to come with you?"
Surdak waved his hand without looking back and strode out of the lava mine.
Sure enough, just as Aphrodite said, there was actually a magic-patterned war horse in the stable next to the sulfur mine warehouse.
This kind of war horses with the 'strength and toughness' life magic pattern engraved on their legs all come from the town of Dodan in the Bailin plane. Aphrodite prepared one in the stable here, obviously to deal with emergencies.
event.
The overseer here saw Suldak coming in a hurry, heard that he wanted to ride the magic-patterned war horse, and helped him lead it out without hesitation.
Surdak got on his horse and rushed to the city of Hiranza without saying a word.
The overseer stood beside the stable in a daze, unable to say a word to Surdak. Seeing Surdak disappear in the rain of volcanic ash falling from the sky, he turned around and closed the stable door with some frustration, then closed the door again.
After removing the outer dust cover, I turned around and returned to the work shed.
There are only less than a hundred kobold slaves left in the sulfur mine. Some of the remaining kobold slaves are building dams on the Bailin plane, and others are building hanging gardens in Ruit City. So the current situation in the sulfur mine is almost
In discontinued status.
…
When Surdak passed through the desolate land of Wall Village, he did not stop at Wall Village.
Instead, we rushed directly to the Paglos Pass. It happened to be night when we passed through the village of Wall. The entire mountain village was ablaze with lights. The neat Western-style buildings were all lit with lights. Even the free market was sprouting like bamboo shoots after rain.
A lot of houses appeared.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Wall Village is now a prosperous town. At night, some villagers gather at the free market open-air tavern at the entrance of the village to drink. The noisy and lively sounds, accompanied by the aroma of ale, can be heard far away.
The lights of Wall Village seem to light up the entire valley, which makes Wall Village very beautiful at night.
When passing the Paglos Pass, Suldak couldn't help but glance towards the top of the mountain on the left. Although everything was covered in the night, Suldak felt that the wooden crosses on the top of the mountain were still there, and
The top of the mountain even had a faint air of death condensed there.
The mountain road at night is not easy to walk. Although the mountain road in Oak Ridge is repaired every year, after all, the road in the mountain ridge is very rugged. Surdak can only slow down the magic pattern war horse.
The entire dense forest was completely covered by the night, and Surdak's thoughts returned to the time when he just returned to Hailan Sachen...
At the beginning, he was just a reserve knight, and he was still running around between Helensa City and Wall Village in order to fill the stomachs of the villagers of Wall. In order to obtain a knighthood, he remembered that he also met a gang of robbers at that time.
Coming.
In the blink of an eye, this place has changed drastically, and countless young people from Wall Village have long since left this desolate land.
But the golden and silver oak trees in this mountain range have not changed at all.
After running around all night, I finally arrived at the city of Halanza in the early morning before the fog dissipated.
The city of Helensa on the mountainside was exposed above the heavy fog. Surdak led the horse out of the thick fog, and then stood in front of the city gate suspension bridge, looking up at the knights of the security brigade on the top of the city.
.
Although the guards on the city wall did not recognize Surdak at the first time, when they saw the panting magic-marked war horse and the magic-marked structure on Surdak's body, these alone made them
They opened the city gates and lowered the drawbridge an hour in advance and invited Suldak to enter the city.
In Helensa City in the morning, the nobles seemed to be lying on their beds at home having sweet dreams, while the common people were eating breakfast and getting ready to start the day's work.
And Suldak, who had been running continuously for a day and night, walked non-stop through the central street with few pedestrians, and arrived at the Christie Family Castle, which is the highest in the city.
The situation in the city seemed normal. When they arrived outside the Christie family's castle, Suldak didn't even call for the door. The guard at the gate pushed open the big iron gate at the outermost part of the castle. Suldak didn't even get off his horse.
, walked straight to the steps of the castle courtyard.
At this time, the housekeeper in the castle hurried out from the hall of the castle with a group of servants. Following them came a roll of carpet, which rolled and paved a red road in front of Surdak.
Surdak handed the reins to the servant on the side, stepped up the steps, and saw Karl running out with a tired look on his face.
"What happened? Did his condition get worse last time?" After seeing Karl, Suldak first gave him a hug, and then asked him impatiently.
Karl shook his head, put his arm around Suldak's shoulders and said, "You'd better go in and take a look and you'll find out!"
"Is it serious?" Surdak asked impatiently.
Karl nodded and said no more.
Suldak quickened his pace and walked into the hall. At this time, Mrs. Mariana in a plain dress came out. Suldak glanced at her bulging belly, then glanced at Karl, and said nothing.
What.
"Dak, you are here, please save Darcy again!" Mrs. Mariana almost buried her hands in tears and begged Suldak.
"Where is Darcy? Take me to see her..." Suldak said to Lady Mariana.
"What exactly is going on?" Suldak asked Karl in a deep voice.
Karl sighed lightly and whispered to Suldak: "It was an assassination. On the way back to the castle from the city hall, Darcy was stabbed in the chest by an assassin hiding in the shadows. The assassin was on the spot.
She took poison and died, and now her injuries are very serious..."
Suldak did not expect that Darcy Christie would be assassinated, and the assassin would die even though he knew he could not escape.
Seeing the dull atmosphere in the castle, Suldak's heart suddenly sank...
