The entire hillside outside the city was circled as the camp of Lord Bena's army. There was a small, relatively clear pond under this hillside. Many knights from the Eastern Route Army led their horses over to drink water. On this slope,
There were originally tall weeds, but this time the military department also prepared a large amount of fodder and black beans.
In Ivorson City at night, the stars in the night sky and the lights in the city complement each other. Sitting on the hillside, you can overlook the entire city.
Although Ivorson City is surrounded by high walls, the camp of Lord Bena's army is also a high hill, where you can just overlook the night view of the city.
The level of prosperity here is no less than that of Bena City, with several large blocks clearly divided by several artificial water canals.
The night wind carries a faint fragrance of grass and trees. This is the most fertile province in the western part of the Green Empire. Although it is already October, as the weather gradually gets colder, many trees have begun to wither, but the trees and grassland on the sunny slopes are still so lush and green.
.
These ghost-striped soldier ants are omnivores with a very wide range of food. They can eat grass, leaves, carrion, bones, and meat...
They prefer to eat meat and can dig holes. In the area where they rest, there is no longer any grass or trees. What comes into view are newly dug holes. The ghost-striped soldier ants hide their bodies in the holes.
Here, there is no place to stay on this hillside.
Because the military did not prepare food for these ghost-striped soldier ants in advance, they almost ate all the grass and trees on the hillside, and they preferred to eat plant roots and small animals hidden in the soil.
When they were in Wilkes City, they were next to a cattle and sheep slaughterhouse. The large amount of animal offal dumped out by that slaughterhouse was the favorite food of these ghost-striped soldier ants. Now Suldak also wants to
Find a slaughterhouse in Ivorson City and want to buy some cattle and sheep offal, bones and scraps. At least you can't let them chew the soil here.
The 100,000 soldiers of the West Route Army were well arranged, which was partly due to the efforts of the Bena Military Headquarters, and of course also partly due to the officials here in Ivorson City.
That's right, after learning that the Bena Province was willing to send additional reinforcements into the Warsaw plane, the noble officials of the Ivorson Province, who had long been exhausted by the war in the Warsaw plane, made some careful preparations for the arrival of the Bena reinforcements.
Not only did they provide the most suitable pasture for setting up a camp outside the city as a camp for Bena's reinforcements, they also prepared some local delicacies for these allies from other provinces.
It's just that Surdak came out of the portal a little late. The noble officials of Ivorson City left in a hurry after sending local delicacies.
To be honest, they were probably frightened by the long queues of red ant cavalry coming out of the temporary teleportation circle.
There are large grasslands in many places in the western provinces of the empire. The ranchers here control about 70% of the black-scaled war horses in the entire empire. These black-scaled war horses are necessary mounts for the formation of elite knights.
There are not many pastures in Ivorson Province. The land in Ivorson Province is fertile and more suitable for growing crops.
When I walked into the military camp, I found that it seemed to be a very quiet camp, with many knight guards patrolling inside.
Gary Decker saw Surdak coming in from the outside with a group of soldiers, riding a magic-patterned horse and waving hello to Surdak from a distance.
Suldak's march tent was built in the most eye-catching position of the Western Route Army. When he walked into the tent, he found that Selena, Xigna, Nika, Naomi and others were waiting inside. Everyone was worried about this trip to Warsaw.
A trip to another plane is full of freshness, expectations, curiosity, and of course a little bit of apprehension and worry.
After all, Grand Duke Newman and the most elite legions in the Bena Province were trapped in the Warsaw plane and unable to escape.
All the reinforcements coming here are also worried that if they enter the Warsaw plane, they will never have the chance to return to the Bena Province. This is what everyone is most worried about deep down.
On the contrary, Selena, Signa, Nika, and Naomi do not have these worries in their hearts. Selena and Signa just want to follow Suldak. It doesn't matter where they go. Nika is used to being around them.
The days of Signa again.
As for Naomi, as long as she can leave Ruit City, it doesn't matter where she goes.
For a necromancer like Naomi, whose body is mostly turned into a corpse, the best place to go is actually the world of the dead, so she is actually not too afraid of death.
When Surdak walked into the tent, the women were talking about whether to go to Ivorson City.
Selena, who is the apostle of the Dark Goddess, and Naomi, who has half-stepped into the world of the dead, are not very willing to go to the city. They don't want to be targeted by the magic union of Ivorson City. Only Signa is there.
I kept lobbying Nika and wanted to go to the city tomorrow to have a long experience.
When Surdak sat down, before he had a chance to drink a glass of water, Signa, who was wearing a small light leather armor, came over, hugged Suldak's arm with both hands, shook it vigorously, and begged:
"Dak, can you take Nika and me to the city tomorrow?"
Seeing her daughter harassing Suldak, Selina quickly waved to her daughter and said: "Dak is the commander of the Western Route Army. There are many important things waiting for him. How can he take you to the city..."
Xigna didn't care about that, clinging to Surdak like a monkey and unable to get off.
The little girl who used to be shy about everything has changed a lot in the past few years. Now she has even cut off her long curly hair, making her look like a tomboy.
Nika poured a glass of water for Suldak, looking very appreciative.
Suldak took the water glass and drank it in one gulp, then sat on the chair in the big tent.
He was a little troubled, but he still cheered up and said:
"Well, actually I really want to go to the city to meet an old friend tomorrow. If you want to go to the city, just come with me."
When Xigna saw that her wish came true, she immediately jumped down and cheered: "Praise Dak!"
Nika stood behind Xigna without saying a word, just smiling.
Selina, who was sitting on the wolf-skin mattress, said: "I'd better stay in the military camp. I don't want to go anywhere until I enter the Warsaw plane."
Naomi in the corner also said: "Me too..."
In the past few days, Surdak has been busy with the Western Route Army passing through the temporary teleportation circle, and he has never been able to take a good rest.
Although we haven't gotten the final personnel list yet, we can at least take a good rest in the tent. This large tent is used to convene generals above the commander for regular meetings. The Surdak Marching Tent is set up here.
Behind the big tent.
Originally, Suldak wanted to sleep with Selena, but when he saw Xigna and Nika talking and laughing with Selena into the tent, he could only turn around and return to his room.
In the marching tent.
After getting into the tent, Surdak lay on the red-eyed hyena skin mattress. His eyelids were a little heavy, and he almost fell asleep within a few seconds of lying down.
…
In the early morning, Surdak got up amidst the noise in the camp.
Not only did he not have any dreams that night, he even failed to enter the spiritual world and climb the iceberg...
When I got out of the tent, I suddenly saw a touch of autumn colors. The grass on the hillside in the distance gradually turned withered and yellow. Only the water plants in the pond below the hillside still had this touch of green.
A group of war horses galloped wildly on the grassland below the hillside.
Those ghost-striped soldier ants are all hiding in the burrows and are not very willing to show up.
Suldak saw Samira practicing archery at a temporary archery range. Gary Decker accompanied Samira, waving a sharp ax in his hand, and walked over.
Seeing Suldak coming over, Gary Decker immediately stopped practicing and said to Suldak with admiration:
"Boss, how did you come up with this idea? This attention is simply incredible. We got 50,000 more red ant cavalry out of thin air..."
Suldak's eyes fell on Samira's slim waist, he shook his head and explained to Gary Decker:
"That's just for show. I have no intention of letting such precious heavy armored infantry warriors and ghost-patterned soldier ants become cannon fodder on the battlefield. Besides, how powerful do you think they can be when combined together?"
Gary Decker said with confidence: "These infantry warriors are holding spears and riding ghost-patterned soldier ants to rush onto the battlefield. I don't think any cavalry can withstand them."
"It may be okay to deal with the cavalry, but if you are on the battlefield in the Warsaw plane, rushing up like this is no different from dying. Don't forget, what we are facing in the Warsaw plane is the evil ghost army." Surdak stood aside.
said.
At this time, Samira also stopped practicing her bow skills, and looked at Suldak with Gary Decker.
"You may not have any idea about the Evil Ghost Army. Let me explain it to you. Gulitem, stand up for a moment!" Surdak faced not far away and was sitting at the door of his tent, holding a stack of
shouted the two-headed ogre who was eating and drinking wheat cakes.
"Oh." Gulitem ran over without thinking.
Surdak asked Gulitem to stand up straight, then reached out and patted the two-headed ogre's strong arm, and introduced to Samira and Gary Decker:
"An ordinary evil ghost warrior is only a little shorter than Gulitum."
"Both in terms of running speed and strength, their strength is only slightly lower than that of the Constructed Knights."
"An evil ghost army has at least hundreds of thousands of troops. If these heavy armored infantrymen hold spears and ride on ghost-patterned soldier ants and rush into the evil ghost army's position, it will be no different from delivering food, but it will be a ghost-patterned soldier ant.
I guess I can hold on a little longer."
Gary Decker opened his mouth and exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out that my opponent is so troublesome!"
"Otherwise, why do you think the Bena Legion has been restrained here by the Evil Ghost Legion and unable to escape..." Surdak asked Gary Decker.
Then he casually introduced some of these evil spirits and listened to what he said:
"Speaking of which, lone ghost warriors are actually easier to deal with, because almost all ordinary ghost warriors are not very mentally developed. They follow the command of the ghost warlord on the battlefield, and their combat power will become very strong, but
Once alone, an ordinary six-man infantry warrior team can easily kill an evil ghost. However, this requires very tacit cooperation between the infantry warrior team."
Gulitem said naively: "Boss, you seem to be very familiar with this place."
Surdak was also very speechless.
"I have said it more than once, I served four years of military service in the Warsaw plane..."
