Chapter 1474: 1461. The Eve of the Battle of the Valley 2
Surdak stood on a high place and looked at the valley halfway up the mountain. At the mountain pass at the southern foot of Moyun Mountain, he could see the evil ghost guards wandering around the edge of the valley.
This time is the largest battle since the Western Route Army entered the Warsaw plane. Suldak will invest nearly 200,000 troops in this valley battle, and the Bena Army in the hands of Duke Newman only has 400,000 troops.
, currently the Bena Army has captured Kornberg County. Duke Newman can say that this battle has almost recouped the seven years of investment in one fell swoop.
War is like this, the victor will not only enjoy flowers and applause, but also fine wine and delicious food.
Although the cake has not yet been divided, Suldak knows that there will definitely be a piece of this cake that belongs to him.
But now, what was accumulating in his mind and always lingering in his heart was that every time he dreamed, he saw the cemetery where countless comrades were buried, right on the cliff of the valley in front of him.
Almost all the soldiers of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment were buried here, and Surdak knew that he was finally qualified to go up and see them.
Handanar County seems to have no worries now, so he has been quietly preparing for this battle in the past few months.
Almost all the black magic crystals and black-patterned magic skins seized from the battlefield in Warsaw, including the Warcraft materials and magic herbs obtained from the indigenous people, were almost all replaced by Suldak into military supplies and a large number of magic weapons.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army were almost armed to the teeth. Even the giant soldier ants were covered with a layer of hard armor.
Malacom purchased hundreds of boxes of magic crossbow arrows from the magic workshop in the imperial capital. This was also the last time the evil ghost army counterattacked the mountain pass at the southern foot of Moyun Mountain. Samira actually commanded the crossbow operator to shoot from the beginning to the end.
What came out were all dual-attribute magic crossbows.
Surdak walked back to the wall of the southern mountain pass, climbed up to a high arrow tower here, and stood next to a bed crossbow.
Looking towards the wooden wall, the two hundred crossbows that were originally installed on the base of the wooden wall are now being dismantled by a group of infantry soldiers and lifted down from the city wall using an earthen crane made of three masts.
These bed crossbows will also be incorporated into the offensive sequence of the Western Route Army. In addition, the forty-seven bed crossbows on the arrow towers of the military camp will also be removed one after another.
At this moment, a hundred catapults are lined up on the south side of the wooden wall. A group of mechanics are conducting final inspections on these catapults. Whether it is the wheel axle or the catapult thrower, almost all the places that need to be greased have been greased.
A layer of butter.
Samira led a group of bed crossbow operators to communicate with the soldiers of the ant cavalry regiment. When attacking the valley, these ant cavalry will pull the bed crossbows and quickly occupy the front entrance of the valley, and the catapult regiment will be pushed up the left side of the valley.
On the ridge on the side, as long as you occupy the high ground on the left side of the valley and push the catapult up there, the flints projected by the catapult will cover the entire valley.
This time, Surdak prepared 300 bed crossbows and 200 catapults in order to attack the Moyunling Valley. Currently, the catapults are ready, and only the 300 bed crossbows need half a day to disassemble and debug.
Ant Cavalry is also responsible for transporting these catapults and crossbow ammunition and arrows.
Surdak has currently accumulated nearly 2,500 ant cavalry, and he has organized these ant cavalry into five ant cavalry regiments.
In addition, Naomi also prepared a death squad consisting of sixty abominations for Surdak, which was almost Naomi's effort in the past three months.
Of course, Naomi's ability to sew so many abominations is inseparable from Surdak's full support. At least from the materials such as corpses and sutures, Surdak did not let Naomi prepare them by herself.
All you need to do is sew the corpses of the evil warriors together, and then give them soul fire.
The dense forest next to the military camp is home to nearly 70,000 ghost-striped soldier ants. Recently, the rations required by these ghost-striped soldier ants have almost overwhelmed the logistics department of the Bena Military Headquarters. These big guys are really good at eating.
But for rations, the logistics department needs to spend a lot of money every month.
That is to say, the Bena Army occupied Kornberg County and quickly replenished the army's blood, allowing the logistics department to continuously supply sufficient food to each lord's army.
These ghost-patterned soldier ants live in burrows dug in the dense forest. Based on the current number of druids in the Western Route Army, Suldak organized these soldier ants into forty ghost-patterned soldier ant regiments. Among them are
Five are still giant soldier ants.
Naomi's hateful death squad is hidden in this dense forest. This is the only restricted area of the Western Route Army.
Because there are a large number of ghost-patterned soldier ants hidden there, no one dares to come here at ordinary times.
There are currently nearly 100,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers stationed in Muchengzhai at the foot of Moyunling Mountain. These infantrymen form 65 heavy armored infantry regiments. Thirty-one of these 65 heavy armored infantry regiments currently belong to the Soviet Union.
The rest of the direct troops of Lord Erdak's army are miscellaneous troops joined by other lords. However, after more than half a year of adjustment and training, these miscellaneous troops have also adapted to the battlefield here.
In addition, the aboriginal tribes in the northern mountains of Moyunling sent nearly 30,000 aboriginal warriors, and these aboriginal warriors were organized into twenty aboriginal regiments by Surdak.
In addition, Surdak also has two groups of Constructed Knights...
This is almost the entire property of the West Route Army, and regiments gathered at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.
On the eve of the war, these armies consume a lot of supplies every day. All the soldiers leave a letter to their families. Only after their death is confirmed, this letter will be sent to the Logistics Department of the West Route Army along with the pension.
Jin and all the belongings of the soldiers were sent home.
The atmosphere in the military camp has been quite heavy these days. It feels like all the soldiers are talking less, and there are even large-scale exchanges of achievements.
This time, the main rewards that the soldiers exchanged were almost all gold coins and magic crystals. Fortunately, Surdak had made preparations beforehand, so the logistics department was not in the embarrassing situation of not being able to exchange gold coins.
Probably seeing the frequent mobilization of troops by the West Route Army and feeling the tense atmosphere within the army, the surrounding adventure groups and mercenary groups also returned to the camp one after another and no longer ran out easily.
The medical team of the West Route Army has also begun to reduce its external treatment work, and extremely rare treatment potions frequently appear on the merit exchange list. These treatment potions can only be redeemed once by each soldier.
Of course, it was impossible for Surdak to collect 100,000 bottles of healing potions at a time. The healing potions he poured out one after another were only more than 1,000 bottles, and almost all of them appeared on the exchange merit list and were snatched away instantly.
Of course, people with such strength are almost all members of the Constructed Knights.
By the time this news reached the ears of the adventure group members outside, these healing potions had long been redeemed.
In the current magic market, healing potions are still an extremely scarce commodity, so after hearing the news that nearly a thousand bottles of healing potions suddenly appeared on the West Route Army's merit exchange list, the members of this group of adventure groups still lamented that they could not have done it earlier.
Son got the news.
The magic pattern constructs that have appeared one after another on the merit exchange list have all been redeemed in the past few days. Unexpectedly, in addition to second-level powerhouses like Andrew and Samira, there are actually people in the military camp who have accumulated ten merit points.
Ten thousand.
Seeing that one set after another of magic pattern constructs were being exchanged, someone actually tried to redeem the enhanced magic pattern that was ranked behind the magic pattern constructs.
Surdak did not write that these rewards were 'life magic patterns', but directly explained the actual functions of these magic patterns in the remarks column of the exchange list. In the eyes of the soldiers of the West Route Army, this was also part of the magic pattern construction.
Seed is just engraved on oneself.
Many first-level warriors believe that before they break through to the second level, their bodies cannot condense the power of elements, so they cannot use this magic pattern construct, so no one has ever redeemed it.
As the war approaches, a group of construct knights wonder why no one cares about the most cost-effective life-enhancing magic pattern on the merit list...
Almost all of the two Construct Knights of Surdak have enhanced magic patterns, so they no longer need to implant magic patterns before the second turn. However, although the Construct Knights do not need it themselves, they will
The news was revealed to the ant cavalry, and it was suggested that before they obtain the magic pattern structure, if they have enough merit points, they might as well exchange it for the enhanced magic pattern.
So during this time, Surdak was busy almost all day and night.
I heard that the West Route Army was brewing a war, so the adventure group all withdrew from Moyun Ridge in the past few days, finally allowing Moyun Ridge to usher in the tranquility on the eve of a war.
In the dense forest, on the hills, and on the cliffs, there are no longer scenes of fights between demon hunters and evil spirits.
The evil spirits in the valley opposite seemed to be aware of it, and they kept increasing their patrol teams.
…
Klaus Ladner is a heavy armored infantry soldier and squad leader of the 32nd Regiment of the Western Route Army.
At this moment, he was sitting in front of the tent, counting the gold coins he had just exchanged. He stacked ten gold coins together, and there were three piles in front of him.
He was originally a member of the rebel army in the Gambo plane. When Surdak entered the Gambo plane to organize an army to resist Lord McDonnell, he joined Surdak's lord army. In the past two years, he has been a member of the heavy army.
The Armored Infantry Regiment has been following Suldak in various battles.
And every time he achieves merit, he will exchange the merit into gold coins and mail them to his family members in the Ganbu plane.
He bought a house in Mukuso City and brought his mother and three younger siblings to live in Mukuso City. They still had little ability to make money and almost all of their daily living expenses depended on Klaus Ladner.
Klaus Ladner was sitting on a wooden pier, putting gold coins into his money bag, and said to Ebenezer, the best mate in the team: "I have almost saved up my money. I will wait for Warsaw."
When the above war is over, I will go back to Mukuso, and maybe I can use the money to start a small business and get a wife."
Ebenezer responded with a smile: "It's no problem even if you marry three. You don't know how many women in Mukuso have lost their families because of the war. Those women are waiting for us to go back and marry them.
"
"My sister wrote me a letter saying that Mukuso City is now filled with businesses almost everywhere. It is very easy to find a job in the city, as long as you are not lazy!" Klaus Ladner
Said with a smile.
"I really wish I could go back soon!"
"By the way, what are you going to do when you go back?"
"Marry a wife, have a child, and then continue to return to the infantry regiment until you can't run anymore. You also know... I know nothing except fighting." Ebenezer waved his hand casually and said.
.
"I joined the rebel army just because I hoped to have a piece of land of my own so that my family could live a good life. I didn't expect that I would only achieve this by joining the Lord's Army. It's really ironic!" Klaus Ladner
He sighed.
"This time to attack the Evil Ghost Legion's station, I heard that the Bena Legion tried it once five years ago. That battle failed, and many people were buried on this Moyun Ridge!"
"I hope it goes smoothly this time..."
"We are Lord Surdak's army. Did we drive away the hell demons on the Ganbu plane?" Klaus Ladner asked loudly and somewhat excitedly.
"It's us!" Someone around shouted loudly.
"Did we capture the Three Rivers Plain and the Dark Worm Valley?"
"It's us!" the answer came louder.
"Did we kill the evil warriors in the Yangguang Canyon?"
"Of course, it's us too!" Many soldiers shouted loudly.
The morale of this heavy armored infantry regiment skyrocketed instantly...
For a while, a song unique to the Ganbu plane came from the military camp.
…
Many people are looking forward to the Battle of the Valley.
However, probably only a few officers such as Suldak knew how important this valley halfway up Moyun Ridge was to the Evil Ghost Legion.
In recent times, after the magician reconnaissance team has continuously entered the mist-shrouded Moyun Ridge for reconnaissance, the terrain of the southern foothills of Moyun Ridge has been almost completely understood.
Speaking of which, although the mountain pass at the southern foot of Moyun Ridge is the only entrance to Moyun Ridge in the southern area, it is not the most important to the Evil Ghost Legion.
The valley halfway up the mountain is a must-defend place for the evil ghost army.
Because as long as they occupy the valley halfway up the Moyunling Mountains, they will completely open the door to the Moyunling Highlands. If the West Route Army wants to enter the Moyunling Highlands, the Evil Ghost Army will be almost unable to stop them.
Therefore, the valley less than two kilometers long halfway up the mountainside of Moyunling is the southern gate of Moyunling.
After nightfall, the ant cavalry regiment would pull their crossbows and catapults into the woodland on the north slope. Therefore, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the ant cavalry had their last dinner before the war and began to prepare for the war.
Andrew seemed a little excited and tried to persuade the wolf knight Tago, the top leader of the ant cavalry regiment, to temporarily switch places with him.
Andrew is the grand leader of the two Constructed Knights, but this time the Constructed Knights were not the first group to attack the valley.
According to the order of attacking from the front, the first ones to rush up are destined to be Naomi's Abominable Death Squadron, followed by the giant soldier ant group and the heavy armored infantry group. The mission of the aboriginal battle group and the Constructed Knights is to guard the enemy.
On both sides of the valley, prevent the evil ghost warriors from destroying the crossbow and catapult positions.
However, Andrew's proposal was rejected by Tago as expected. Wolf Knight Tago regarded the battlefield as a place of glory. It was absolutely impossible for him to switch places with Andrew in this matter.
Andrew had no choice but to run to the Arrow Tower to discuss with Suldak.
From a distance, I saw Surdak standing alone on the arrow tower, with a serious expression, looking at the mountainside valley of Moyun Ridge...
Samira, Selina, Nika, Gary Decker and others were all waiting under the arrow tower, but no one went up at this time.
