Ant Cavalry constantly appears in the mountains around the forest camp, posing a considerable threat to the evil ghost warriors patrolling this mountain forest.
Originally, the only people who could deal with the evil ghost warriors in this mountain forest were a group of Bena swordsmen. However, at the beginning of the year, Duke Newman suddenly gave up the battle plan to advance north. The Bena swordsman group stationed in the forest camp camp
Just evacuate the forest camp.
The garrison in the forest farm camp was only responsible for controlling the evil spirits in Moyunling, keeping them at bay in the high mountains in the northern part of Handanar County.
In fact, just after the Bena Constructed Swordsman Group withdrew from the forest camp, the Evil Ghost Army took the absolute initiative in the small-scale battle in the wild.
During this period of time, the scout team at the forest farm camp did not even dare to set foot in the Gandaur Mountains.
No one expected that a Bena reinforcements would actually follow the Samosto River all the way to the north of the mountain. Not only would they completely rob the demon hunting group along the way, they would also transport all the large amounts of food they had hoarded to the forest camp.
This incident not only subverted the Evil Ghost Legion's understanding of the Bena Army, but the biggest problem is that the Evil Ghost Legion in Moyun Ridge needs to tighten their belts recently.
The supply of the army has always been the most important problem for the Evil Ghost Legion in the Warsaw plane. The Evil Ghost warriors usually need to eat meat. After Duke Newman occupied Handanar County, he concentrated all the people in this county in Handanar.
In the Ercheng area, on the edge of Handanar County, it is rare to see imperial immigrants.
The objects hunted by the evil ghost warriors are the hordes of wild beasts in the mountains, as well as some local aboriginal tribes.
In the past few years since the evil spirits occupied the plane of Warsaw, they have only occupied and destroyed it. They have hunted down all the larger beasts in the mountains and fields.
Until now, the evil ghost army needs to continuously invade the territory of the Green Empire in order to obtain more sufficient food.
This was also a major incentive for the Evil Ghost Army to gradually speed up its offensive pace and begin to quickly devour the seven counties of Warsaw.
In the eyes of the evil spirits, the Bena Army in Handanar County has few hard bones to crack. In order to contain the Bena Army, the Evil Ghost Army not only deployed heavy troops along the Kepathomos River, but also
An evil gate has been set up on Moyun Ridge, a mountain in the northern part of Handanar County, and nearly ten thousand evil ghost warriors guard the mountain.
At the beginning, Duke Newman also thought about sending out elite troops to completely eradicate the evil ghost army from Moyun Ridge before the evil ghost army could gain a foothold.
It was precisely with this idea that the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, where Surdak belonged, originally opened a forest road in this forest.
Unfortunately, the battle between the Bena Army and the Evil Ghost Army in Moyun Ridge ended in failure.
In the following years, although Duke Newman has always been obsessed with Moyun Ridge, he only sent troops to retake the forest farm camp and guard the gate of Handanar's backyard. He has never wanted to take another step north.
The Evil Ghost Legion has become accustomed to this method of fighting, but Surdak's Lord Army did not follow the routine. This sword stabbing down just cut off the logistics line of the Moyunling Evil Ghost Legion.
Due to the insufficient food supply for the Moyunling Evil Ghost Legion, a large number of Evil Ghost hunting teams have to run out in search of food.
In the area south of Moyun Ridge, the forest camp is also a fixed base. Although the evil ghost warriors have no intention of capturing the forest camp, they know that they will definitely encounter a human scout team wandering around here...
So nearby skirmishes continue every day.
Although the Ant Riders need three times the numerical advantage to defeat them in small-scale team battles, once the Ant Riders become invincible during the battle, they can quickly withdraw from the battlefield.
Therefore, during the recent period, although the Western Route Army suffered casualties every day, it also made gains every day.
It was precisely for this reason that Suldak was unable to leave the forest camp for a while. He did not want the infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army to be consumed bit by bit like this.
If you can save it, you must try your best to save it...
Recently, Aphrodite has been the busiest. The number of ant cavalry in the military camp has been growing every day, and the battles in the jungle have begun to result in more wins than losses.
For the infantry soldiers of Lord Surdak's army, the biggest gain from dealing with the evil ghost warriors outside the forest camp during this period is that almost every soldier has learned to peel off the black-striped demon skin from the evil ghosts. This is
Skinning is a skill that is also an important way for soldiers to make extra money.
The free market on the slope outside the forest farm camp finally ushered in a little spring. Every day, merchants would wait for the infantry soldiers in the camp to bring the black-striped magic skin to them for trading.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers actually hope that the black-striped magic skin can be exchanged for achievements, but the logistics quartermaster in the military camp is very picky about the black-striped magic skin. If there is even a slight flaw in the skinning process, it will be returned by the logistics quartermaster and eventually flow to freedom.
In the hands of businessmen in the market.
It is for this reason that the business group outside the forest camp became noisy again.
Since the number of ant cavalry was limited, and half of the Western Route Army was still on the way from Handanar City to the forest camp, Surdak was not prepared to engage in a large-scale war with the evil ghost warriors active outside the camp during this period.
battle.
The name of the commander of the Western Route Army, Suldak, was also spread in the free market opposite the forest camp.
…
After a month and a half, the 50,000 heavy armored infantry and 10,000 cavalrymen of the West Route Army finally arrived at the forest camp in a dusty and windy manner.
Along with the 60,000 troops arriving at the forest camp, there were hundreds of four-wheel trucks carrying consumable supplies.
Although the situation in Epsom City is extremely tense now, most of the supplies delivered here from Ivorson City every day have to be shared with other legions, as well as the millions of refugees in Epsom City, but this time the Bena Legion
The Logistics Department still endured huge pressure and sent logistical supplies for 100,000 troops to the forestry camp.
The only thing that makes Surdak a little helpless is that there is still no news about the supplies of ghost-marked soldier ants.
Samira, Gary Decker, Selena, Signa, Naomi, Nika and the medical team followed the large army to the forest farm camp, finally letting the stone hanging in Suldak's heart fall.
Come.
After all, many people in this team have special identities. Selena, who believes in the goddess of the night, Naomi, who is a necromancer, and Nika, who can feel the element of light...
Now that everyone has arrived at the forest camp safely, the strength of the West Route Army suddenly reached 110,000.
The entire military camp suddenly became lively. After Gary Decker and Samira entered the military camp, they first saw dozens of stacks of bacon in the material storage area, so they couldn't help but said: "What is this? Is it...
A great gift left for us by friendly forces?"
"Impossible, if there was such a good thing, those guys in the logistics department wouldn't have such bitter faces all the way!" Samira responded in a low voice.
Surdak quickly came out of the commander's room, spread his arms to hug Xigna, hugged Selena and Samira, whispered about the situation along the way, and then told everyone
Please enter the command post.
Gary Decker couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked Surdak: "Boss, how did you get those stacks of bacon outside? When we arrived at Handanar City,
When I applied for these supplies from the logistics department, I didn’t expect that they were already ready.”
"This was picked up by the Samosto River when we were fighting all the way." Suldak lifted Signa up, let her sit on his shoulders, and turned to Gary Decker and said
.
Samira looked at the group of ant cavalry going in and out of the camp, watching them walk out of the camp, her eyes like sharp arrows passing over their bodies.
"It's really unimaginable that they can command these ghost-patterned soldier ants so easily..." Samira sighed beside Suldak.
During the march, bathing is probably the most troublesome thing.
When they arrived at the forest camp this time, the group of women immediately took a shower in the bathroom at the camp command post.
The row of officers' residences with the best conditions in the camp has been occupied by the magician reconnaissance team. Although there are some unused wooden houses in the corners, considering that some of them have sensitive identities, Surdak asked the craftsmen to
A row of wooden houses was built next to the command post.
Selina is the person who has been with Suldak for the longest time. She has heard Surdak talk about this coveted camp more than once.
However, there does not seem to be a continuous white tent here, instead there are rows of neat wooden houses.
"How was the journey?"
"not bad."
Selena pulled up her wet long hair and stood behind Xigna to help her comb her hair.
Just after taking a shower, Xigna's little face turned red. Looking at the lively scene outside the window, it seemed that her heart had already flown outside.
"Dak, can you let me try the cavalry ants? I think it would be interesting." Xigna said with a flattering look on her face.
"This is not possible, it is too dangerous." Suldak sternly refused without even thinking.
"Stingy guy..." Xigna puffed her mouth and muttered in a low voice.
As the Western Route Army was completely stationed in the forest camp, Suldak handed over all affairs in the camp to Andrew, Samira was responsible for arranging the route for the waiting team to go out for patrol missions, and Gary Decker was to lead
The cavalry regiment at the forest farm camp is resting and recuperating, and then they have to conduct daily training...
After making these arrangements, Surdak immediately set off for the Bena Army command post in the south of Handanar City.
…
Surdak and the two-headed ogre traveled quickly and spent five days crossing this vast meadow. The infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army walked for seventeen days.
As the commander of the West Route Army, the order Suldak received was that after settling down the West Route Army, he would report to the command of the Bena Military Headquarters.
This time the Bena Army is preparing for a large-scale counterattack, and the commanders of several armies will arrive at the Bena Army command post to attend a pre-war meeting.
Suldak has been delaying his arrival until now, mainly because he has not received news of Duke Ryan's death. Before Duke Ryan's death, the Bena Army under Duke Newman will not take half a step across the Moss River.
The command post of the Bena Corps is located in the south of Handanar City. There are nearly 30,000 guards stationed here. Duke Newman usually lives in this camp.
Looking into the distance, Surdak could clearly see the outline of Handanar City.
This camp is also surrounded by log fences. Most of the camp is built with simple wooden houses. Rows of phalanxes are running back and forth in the military camp playground. Some soldiers are basking in the sun at the entrance of the camp. The soldiers in this camp
The pace of life is slow after all.
Surdak showed his identity plate and was taken to a wooden house by the guard at the camp gate.
Pushing open the door of the cabin, which seemed to be not much bigger than the toilet, there was not only a bed, but also a table and chairs inside.
The space is very small, but it is more than enough for Surdak to rest.
"Commander Surdak, the Duke is still having a meeting in the war room, please wait a moment..." The camp gate guard who led the way said earnestly to Surdak.
Surdak nodded slightly, then tied the war horse at the door of the wooden house, turned his head and glanced at the two-headed ogre who was sitting against the wooden house and was about to eat, and stepped into the wooden house.
…
Before the meeting, Suldak finally met Duke Newman.
The most powerful grand duke in the province of Bena was actually sitting at the dining table in the command post. There was only a piece of hard-looking white bread on the plate in front of him. He cut the white bread meticulously, and then dipped it in
There was an unknown thick soup on the plate, and I silently ate the bread into my stomach.
Finally, he slowly drank half a glass of sweet wine. When he saw Surdak sitting solemnly across the dining table, he quickly motioned to the servant behind him to bring a dinner plate to Surdak.
The chef at the back held a silver plate and quickly added food to Surdak's plate.
Only then did Suldak look at Duke Newman seriously. Although he was middle-aged, he had bright eyes. The beard on his face was a little gray, but it was trimmed very neatly. His handsome face
With a sense of vicissitudes and the majesty of a superior, there is also some fatigue hidden in his eyes.
Standing next to him was a guard, who should be a Level 3 expert, because Surdak could not feel any strong aura, but his intuition clearly told Surdak that the person in front of him was very dangerous.
Especially the two exquisite storm swords on his waist, the cold light on them can almost clearly reflect the human face.
"I've been hearing your name in reports lately, and you've also taken possession of the treasure in the Bailin plane, which originally belonged to the Bena Legion. Unfortunately, you plucked the fruit before it could be harvested..." Newman
The Duke's voice was very rich, with a kind of kindness in it.
He paused for a moment, and then said:
"I guess you must have met the queen ant, and it seems that you must have reached some agreement with it before it was willing to provide soldier ants to you. Otherwise, even if you kill the queen ant, I'm afraid you won't be able to control those soldiers.
