The three hundred bed crossbows on the cliff have almost become a nightmare for the evil ghost army. Surdak purchased 50,000 dual-attribute magic crossbow arrows from the imperial capital this time. For this battle in the valley, two four-wheeled trucks were used to transport them.
Hundreds of giant crossbow arrows and bed crossbows tilted down the cliff are giant crossbow arrows with dual magic properties of 'sharpness' and 'penetration'.
Fireballs kept exploding into fireworks in the night sky. Except for places shrouded in the fog of war, everywhere in the valley was as bright as day.
Crossbow arrows poured down from the cliff, and the evil ghost warriors in the valley were crowded together. The crossbowmen did not need to aim at all. As long as the auxiliary soldiers carrying the crossbow arrows could run faster, the operator's hand would twist the winch with all his strength, and the crossbowmen would
The crossbow string of the bed crossbow was pulled out.
The crossbows shimmering with magical light constantly pinned the evil spirits in the valley.
The giant soldier ants advance forward. Although the fangs of the soldier ants can cut off the evil ghost warriors, they are too clumsy after all.
Even in the fog of war, it acts as a human shield.
The heavy armored infantry regiment behind them followed up, thrust out the spears in their hands, and the evil ghost warriors trapped in the fog fell one by one.
The battle in the valley was very fierce. The evil ghost army organized an effective counterattack at the beginning. However, as the fog of war continued to erode, the last bit of fighting will of the evil ghost warriors collapsed, and the entire evil ghosts in the valley halfway up the mountain collapsed.
In the great rout.
Countless evil ghost warriors rushed toward the northern exit of the valley, causing a large number of evil ghosts to crowd the northern valley entrance.
There may even be a stampede of more than a thousand people. As long as you fall down among the demons and are trampled by other demons, don't expect to stand up.
The West Route Army's catapult arrived belatedly, and just when the Evil Ghost Army was almost evacuating the valley, it was re-erected at the southern entrance to the valley.
Several evil generals wanted to organize a group of evil warriors to launch a counterattack at the entrance of the northern valley. However, as meteors and fire showered across the night sky, giant crossbow arrows continued to fall from the cliffs, and the fog of war was not there yet.
Arriving at the entrance of the northern valley, nearly half of the evil ghost warriors guarding here had been killed or injured.
And the fog of war at night is like a huge harvester, constantly devouring those evil ghost warriors...
…
It only took the Western Route Army one night to successfully occupy the valley halfway up the southern foot of Moyun Mountain. Suldak asked giant soldier ants and heavy armored infantry regiments to guard the northern exit of the valley, and at the same time, he spent the whole night at the northern exit.
Build a wooden wall and transport the bed crossbow on the cliff to the north exit.
This is the gate to Moyun Ridge. Surdak plans to first build a wooden wall with giant trees, and then build a stone wall at least forty meters high with rocks outside the wooden wall to resist Moyun Ridge.
Those evil spirits in the highlands.
This time, in order to capture the valley halfway up the mountainside in the southern part of Moyun Ridge, the West Route Army relied entirely on the fog of war from the goddess of the night, in addition to being surprised...
Once the top brass of the Evil Ghost Legion on the Moyun Ridge Highlands react, they will surely retake the valley halfway up the mountain.
The location here is too important. The Western Route Army's occupation here means that the army can freely enter the Moyunling Highlands. This will pose a huge threat to the evil ghost army on the highlands. Therefore, the evil ghosts will not let Sur
Duck built the pass.
That's why Surdak had just ended the battle and while the heavy armored infantry soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers from the infantry regiment behind him came to the north exit of the valley and started cutting down trees to build wooden walls.
Finally, at dawn, a ray of clone descended by the goddess of night also floated away from Selena's body.
Selina collapsed on the head of the giant soldier ant in some exhaustion. Fortunately, Surdak had been staying by Selina's side at this time. Knowing that her mental power was very high, he poured a bottle of mental power potion into her.
Then he took her down and asked Nica to carry Selena to the back with members of the medical team.
What she needs most now is to get enough rest...
Nika ran around in the valley for a long time, only to find that there were very few injured soldiers on the battlefield in the valley, and the ground was full of corpses of evil ghost warriors.
Some giant ghost-patterned soldier ants also died on the battlefield. The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment were quickly cleaning the battlefield. At this time, Surdak was also busy removing the complete body from the dead giant soldier ants.
The limbs and legs of the magic pattern of life.
The place where the battle was more fierce was the dense forest on the slope on the back of the cliff on the east side.
There were many injured construct knights and ant cavalry over there. The battle there was quite fierce, and it seemed that many people in the ant cavalry group died.
It was the first time for the Aboriginal warriors to participate in such a large-scale battle, but they were responsible for protecting the catapults all night long. It happened that there were not many evil spirits stationed on the high hill here, and the Aboriginal warriors suffered almost no casualties.
The two tribal elders even believed that they had received extra care from Surdak. After the war, they were still complaining to Surdak that they should be assigned some arduous tasks to the indigenous warriors. These young indigenous warriors needed more.
of tempering.
Surdak didn't explain anything, he just nodded with a smile and agreed, definitely next time!
This battle in the valley was a great victory. The Western Route Army's harvest almost made back all of Surdak's large-scale purchase of military supplies. However, due to the relatively large amount of supplies Surdak purchased, this
This victory only allowed Surdak to balance his income and expenditure.
Next, Surdak also wanted to build a pass in the north of the valley to block the counterattack of the evil ghost army in the Moyunling Highlands.
Building a strong pass requires a huge investment.
Now the entire Moyunling Plateau has been completely opened to the Western Route Army. The defeated evil ghost legions are scattered all over the mountains and plains. However, the Western Route Army did not take this opportunity to send out the Constructed Knights to pursue the victory.
The adventure group who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a whole night learned the news of the victory. A large number of adventure groups ran over from the military camp. Dozens of adventure group leaders petitioned Surdak, hoping that
Enter the Moyunling highland through the valley and continue to pursue the defeated evil ghost warriors.
Of course, Surdak will not stop them from doing this, but the entire valley is currently under the control of the Western Route Army. Except for the soldiers of the Western Route Army, it is impossible for others to enter.
It will take at least half a day to clean the battlefield here, and there are still a large number of crossbows and catapults that need to be transported to the north exit.
In order to effectively manage these adventure groups so that they do not run around on the battlefield or even steal things, Surdak specially opened a passage for these adventure groups.
And asked the West Road Jin Logistics Department to set up a toll station at the entrance to the southern end of the valley. Any adventure group that wants to enter Moyun Ridge must pay a construction fee here. This money is collected based on the number of people.
If you want to enter Moyun Ridge, each person needs to pay one gold coin...
The high fee made all the adventure groups stunned, and everyone even secretly cursed Surdak as a vampire bat in their hearts.
But at this time, the evil ghost army just experienced an unprecedented rout. As long as they could run to the Moyunling highlands, they would basically search for injured evil ghosts...
This kind of opportunity may not come across a few times in a lifetime. When those capable and wealthy adventure groups heard the news, they paid the fee without hesitation and passed the valley halfway up the mountain as soon as possible after obtaining the pass.
After chasing after the north exit of the valley, I saw a large number of fleeing evil ghost warriors scattered on the slopes on both sides of the mountain roads ahead...
…
After a day of cleaning the battlefield here, the heads of all the evil ghost warriors have been put into the warehouse, and the achievements of each warrior have been recorded.
As hundreds of crossbows on the cliff were dragged to the north exit, the Constructed Knights had rested for a whole morning, and all the knights became high-spirited...
Andrew rode his horse to the north exit of the valley and saw Gary Decker and Samira here. One of them was responsible for the construction of the wall, and the other was responsible for the temporary placement of the bed crossbow. The most basic needs were needed in a short time.
of fortifications.
At least we can't let the evil ghost warriors destroy these precious bed crossbows as soon as they rush up.
The bed crossbow is a powerful weapon to resist the evil ghost's attack. It is now placed at the north exit, and combined with the giant soldier ants and heavy armored infantry soldiers, it can resist the evil ghost's counterattack in the next period of time.
Samira is surveying the terrain here.
Andrew hurried over and asked Samira:
"Where's the boss?"
The half-elf archer's expression was a little dull, and there was no joy of victory in her eyes. She said to Andrew very calmly:
"I didn't say where I went. I should be able to show up in a while."
Andrew jumped off the horse, handed the reins in his hand to the soldier next to him, and then asked Samira:
"Has the command post made a plan for the pursuit?"
At this time, Gary Decker, who was explaining the matter to an officer, turned around and answered with a smile:
"On hold for now."
"No more chasing?" Andrew touched his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes, looking incomprehensible.
Gary Decker nodded and said 'hmm':
"Currently, the magician reconnaissance team has begun to enter the Moyunling highlands to explore the terrain here and the number and distribution of the evil ghost army..."
Andrew was a little angry, and he couldn't hide the fighting spirit in his eyes. It seemed that he wanted to argue with Suldak.
Gary Decker immediately came over, put one hand on Andrew's shoulder, and whispered to him:
"I advise you to be honest for the time being. The boss has been in a bad mood recently. He always thinks about things alone with a straight face..."
"Really?" Andrew hesitated, thought for a while, and then asked with a confused face: "What does he usually look like?"
Gary Decker glanced at Samira with a half-smile, and then said: "I am very busy every day. When I am done, I will stay with Selena and Aphrodite, oh, and now I have to add
Samira..."
"...Hey, I didn't say anything." Samira protested coldly to Gary Decker.
Gary Decker said without hesitation: "Well, it's not a bad thing."
The three regiment commanders gathered together and chatted in low voices. The surrounding officers did not dare to come near at all and stood around quietly watching.
…
Surdak sat next to the cliff of a mountain in the west of the valley. He could not find any traces of the past here.
His mind flashed back to the day when the kerosene was dumped and the two-wheeled cart filled with corpses was set alight. Now he just wanted to find the remaining pile of ashes, even a little bit of bones.
But the rock wall here is already covered with knee-high fine thatch, as well as some thorn vines, wild flowers, moss, etc.
He felt that the ashes had been integrated into the grass and trees. There was almost nothing special about the several hundred meters of cliff here. There was a slight deviation in the location in his memory, and he gained nothing for the entire afternoon.
Selina stood quietly aside, without any questions or any relief.
The golden sunset set a golden edge on her body, and she just silently followed the man walking back and forth on the grass.
On the grass not far away, Signa was riding a pony and playing happily.
Nika is not here. She will be very busy every time after a war, and today is no exception.
Originally, Surdak should have been in the treatment tent at this time, but this time he felt a little confused, so he simply took Selina out for a walk.
He found the battlefield in his memory, but he didn't expect that the fire burned it so thoroughly that not even half of the bones could be found.
In the grass, he finally saw a gleam of metal. He pushed aside the grass and saw several rusty armor pieces hidden in the soil. He took out a shovel from his magic belt and dug deeper, and saw again
There was a sword blade that was so rusty that it was almost invisible, the spearhead that was left after the wooden handle had rotted was covered in patina, and there were even two wheel frames that were almost rotten but had not been completely burned out.
Several of the skeletons are no longer complete.
Surdak felt that this was the right place.
He used a shovel to lift up the turf here and began to dig.
Selena was also silently helping. When she saw some bones, she bent down and picked them out. She could see that Suldak was in a bad mood at the moment, and his eyes were full of nostalgia for the past.
Thinking that someone he cared about must be buried here, he took out a picnic cloth that he had brought but not used, and placed all the bones on it, including the scrap metal.
Facing those human bones, Selena wasn't too afraid, and even used her hands to clean the soil from the bones.
He didn't stop until Surdak dug a big hole here and couldn't find anything else of value.
There was no coffin prepared and it had already rotted to such an extent that many of the bones were even picked up by small animals and became incomplete.
Surdak re-wrapped everything with Selina's tablecloth, then put it into the big hole he dug, covered it with soil, and even piled up a round mound, and
A rock was also pressed on top of the mound.
After building such a tomb, Surdak actually took out a tombstone that had been prepared long ago from his magic pocket, and even had many people's names engraved on it:
Sidney, Bearded Cagle, Augustus, Craigie, Billy, Little Duck...
After setting up the stone monument, Surdak sat down in front of the stone monument, his eyes slightly moist.
At this time, Xigna also calmed down, led the pony to Suldak's side, took the initiative to hold his big hand, and took the initiative to kneel there.
Selena also knelt down and Suldak held Selina's soft shoulders and sat in front of the tombstone for a long time.
Then he took the mother and daughter to the cliff not far away. Looking down from here, it was bottomless. The cliff was covered with dense bushes. His voice was a little sad:
"That's when I jumped from here. I grabbed some branches while falling, and finally landed on the branches below, and then I escaped from here..."
"I first escaped to the forest farm camp and found that it was also in ruins, so I immediately got into the big meadow."
"There I met Hathaway, the injured Beatrice, and Darcy Christie. But when Darcy Christie and her sisters left alone, I took Hathaway and Bea with me.
Tris, and the John we met in Epsom City, we ran south together until we reached Handanar City."
"I got the pass to the portal there. When my military service expired, I saved some money and left this plane..."
