Standing on the nearly 65-meter-high arrow tower, Elder Ambroby could see the endless hills to the north.
Although this is a valley halfway up the southern foothills of Moyunling, it is also the southern gate of Moyunling. Further north is a series of overlapping peaks, and the mountain roads leading to the highlands of Moyunling are as dense as a spider web.
As long as you leave the Dake Valley and enter the Moyunling Highlands, there are at least hundreds of passages...
Although such a tall and majestic city wall was built at the north exit of the valley, and the city wall was even raised twice to ward off evil spirits, traces of purple blood could still be seen on some of the ground at the foot of the city wall.
When Elder Ambrobi saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a scene of bloody fighting in his heart. He didn't know how many evil ghost warriors died here to create the scene before him.
Elder Domini, who was standing aside, looked at Elder Ambrobi with a trace of hesitation in his eyes. He was full of worries about this cooperation between the tribe and the Western Route Army.
However, the voices of opposition are still in the minority among the elders.
So this time Elder Domini wanted to persuade Elder Ambroby to stay away from these cunning Green Empire people.
"Are they trustworthy?" Elder Domini's face was full of melancholy, and his skin was a little loose and full of wrinkles.
If someone thinks of him as a terminally ill old man, that would be a big mistake. For a great wizard like him, he has long since broken free from the shackles of his life span.
Elder Ambrose turned his head and looked at Elder Domini, and said firmly:
"Even if it's just for those 100,000 sets of heavy armors and weapons, it's worth a gamble for us."
"Moreover, this is our best chance to restore the glory of the Aigrod clan in these years. For so long, we have been waiting for prophecies, but unfortunately those prophecies have never appeared..."
"And our heritage is also being lost bit by bit, and our tribe has even been forgotten by the entire world. Over the years, I have repeatedly thought about how to make the Aegrod clan rise. Now I have finally figured it out. Instead of waiting year after year
Instead of waiting for the hero who can lead us out of the predicament to appear, we might as well try to find a way out on our own."
"Our tribal warriors are so brave, and our tribe has a large population. If we want the tribe to develop and grow, we have to go out from here, so what else can we not dare to break into?"
There was a hint of fanaticism in Elder Ambrody's eyes.
Elder Domini also knows that this is probably the sentiment of most elders, especially when it comes to fighting against these evil spirits.
In the past few years, the evil spirits in Moyun Ridge have infinitely compressed their livelihoods, driven many tribes out of Moyun Ridge, and even occupied the northern mountains of Moyun Ridge.
If it weren't for the imperial army's constant restraint in the south, I'm afraid the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge would have captured their city a few years ago.
It is only in the past six months that the living conditions of the tribesmen have improved.
"Then...then we will recruit another hundred thousand soldiers and send them here?" Elder Domini said with a frown.
With so many tribal warriors traveling long distances, the materials that need to be prepared are a huge expense. They have to recruit warriors and prepare rations for the long journey. This can even bring down some small tribes.
Elder Ambrose waved his hand and said:
"No, we will leave one hundred thousand tribal warriors in the north."
Elder Dominic's drooped eyelids suddenly raised, revealing a pair of amber eyes, and asked doubtfully:
"Stay in the north? Will Lord Surdak allow us to do this?"
"Of course, he will..."
Elder Ambrose narrowed his eyes and said.
…
Elder Ambroby felt that everything in the military camp was very good, from the tents to the carriages, from the big iron pots in the dining hall to the shower heads on the bathroom wall.
After fighting for a day, the soldiers returned to the military camp and had a sip of hot soup. If they had enough energy, they could also take a hot bath. This kind of marching life was much more enjoyable than the tribal soldiers.
As for those marching rations, which are even rarer things, each small package is a standard one-day ration, and the wheat cakes, dried meat and camellia inside are almost all rare delicacies.
At this moment, Elder Ambroby was sitting in the command post of Suldak, with a marching ration in front of him. He first ate a piece of crispy wheat cake, then gave up the intention of tasting the jerky, and picked up a cup with
The oil tea brewed with hot water was slurped like porridge.
This kind of oil tea is fried wheat flour mixed with some butter and salt. When the soldiers in the military camp smell this smell, their appetite will be reduced by half immediately...
But in Elder Ambroby's opinion, this kind of marching ration is really good stuff.
Surdak was still a little hesitant about the request put forward by Elder Ambrose. Every mountain pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he wanted to seize the northern pass of Moyun Ridge from the evil ghost army, Surdak
I don’t know how many lives of aboriginal warriors need to be filled in before this can be defeated.
He said hesitantly:
"If we fight up from the north, many people may die."
Elder Ambrose said:
"If the equipment and weapons can be delivered to the tribe as scheduled, I am confident that I can capture the Beishan Pass of Moyun Ridge in two months."
Surdak walked to the front of the sand table, picked up a wooden block and placed it across a mountain pass in the sand table.
In this way, the entire Moyun Ridge will be completely sealed.
"That's fine. If we can also block the north exit, then we can teach this evil ghost army a lesson behind closed doors." Suldak said.
He felt that such a flanking attack from the north and the south might put more pressure on the evil spirits than from one direction.
"Not only will the weapons and equipment be delivered as scheduled, but at that time, the West Route Army Ant Cavalry Regiment and the Constructed Knights will also come to the North Pass of Moyun Ridge to assist in the battle. We can encircle the Evil Ghost Legion in the North Pass in the mountains and attack from both front and rear.
Capture Beishan Pass in one fell swoop."
Suldak thought of the war and said:
"When the time comes, I will bring the craftsmen from the West Route Army over and help you build a city wall at Beishan Pass."
"In this way, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge will be completely unable to escape."
Hearing Suldak agree so readily, Elder Ambroby felt a little untrue, and he asked doubtfully:
"What benefits can you get from helping us like this?"
Surdak used his finger to draw a circle on the entire Moyun Ridge area on the sand table and said:
"This territory belongs to me in name, and the minerals here will also belong to me. I will also open a trade route here. These will bring me huge profits in the future. In addition, my eyes are not here, but further north.
It’s a barbaric land where the magical beasts and herbs are the empire’s scarcest commodities. In the future, my lord’s army may set foot on that land.”
Elder Ambrose put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked with some worry:
"Can my people really live here forever?"
"Unless the Green Empire ceases to exist, the decree on the noble lords has been overturned, and this place no longer belongs to me...otherwise you can continue to live here." Surdak replied.
Seeing that Elder Ambroby still had doubts, Suldak decided to draw a pie for him:
"We have occupied many planes, but basically we have built beautiful homes together with the natives of the planes. Very few lords' armies will fight against hostile tribes for years. This will not do us any good, and will also involve a lot of energy, unless there is hatred.
It is too big, or there is a huge conflict between the interests of both parties.”
Surdak finally said:
"The world is so big, there is no need to fight to the death for a piece of land."
Hearing what Suldak said, Elder Ambrobi felt relieved.
Afterwards, he talked with Suldak about the matters that required close cooperation between the two parties in the future, and finalized all the details. Elder Ambrobi finally signed a new cooperation agreement with Surdak on behalf of the Aegrod clan.
The magical contract to fight against the evil ghost army is out.
With such a magic contract alone, Surdak was able to expand the total strength of the West Route Army to 300,000.
Moreover, the combat power of the aboriginal warriors is far beyond that of the heavy armored infantry warriors. Their physical fitness is excellent. Each aboriginal warrior will participate in the sacrificial ceremony of the tribal wizards before the war, plus the heavy armor
With sophisticated weapons, your combat power will be greatly improved.
After Elder Ambroby left, Suldak stood in front of the sand table for a long time.
During this period, countless adventure groups entered the Moyunling Highlands. Not only did they bring back evil ghost heads and black magic crystals from the Moyunling Highlands, they also brought back raw ores picked up in some places.
Surdak discovered that many places on the Moyunling highlands were actually rich in mineral resources.
There are not enough civilians in Surdak's territory, and probably no one would be willing to move their family here. So even if he captures this place and applies for it to be his own territory, after driving away these evil ghosts, this place will be
It has just become a no man's land.
Then there will be a large number of business groups and adventure groups sneaking in to mine illegally, unless Surdak can build his own mine early.
If this place is given to this group of Aigrod tribe to settle down, then it would be natural for them to help take care of the mines on the highlands.
When Surdak's mining team comes to the Moyunling Highlands in the future, they can also hire local tribesmen as miners...
It's actually not a big deal to give up the land here to the aborigines of the Aigrod clan.
In fact, this is what Surdak thought.
…
Elder Ambrose led a group of elders to leave the Duck Valley in the south of Moyun Ridge.
They left with the magic contract signed with the West Route Army. When they returned to the tribe, they needed to recruit 100,000 tribal warriors as soon as possible, while Surdak needed to gather 100,000 sets of equipment within two months, and also needed
It needs to be sent to the tribe.
In addition to a full set of heavy armor, heavy swords, spears, and alloy bows, Surdak also planned to equip these tribal warriors with skinning knives and water bottles.
In addition, Suldak promised Elder Ambrose to give him one hundred thousand boxes of marching rations.
Even though these are just small items, when the number reaches 100,000 copies, it will be a big expense.
In fact, this is not because he has money but no place to spend it. The main reason is to allow these aboriginal warriors to have sufficient physical strength to participate in the war.
He needed the merchant Malacom to go to Constantinople to buy a complete set of weapons and equipment, so he wrote a letter to the merchant Malacom, and then mailed the letter out of the city of Hiranza, reaching the Bailin plane at least
It will be twenty days later.
It is estimated that the time left for Malacom to purchase will not be too much. All weapons and equipment still need to be transported to Aquamarine City.
…
Elder Ambrose and his entourage came quietly and then left quietly.
In the eyes of others, the war situation in Moyunling has been making little progress. There are more than 100,000 troops hoarded in this valley, and countless rations are consumed every day, but the commander of the West Route Army has never released the troops.
The busiest people in the West Route Army every day are the magicians with reconnaissance missions. The magicians built a sand table of the entire Moyun Ridge area in the command post. This is the seventh time during this time that they have rectified the details. They even
Clearly explore all the evil ghost army's stations in the west.
Occasionally, there will be knights of constructs going out to perform missions, but these knights of constructs will not enter the depths of Moyunling Highlands.
Almost all the people hunting in the highlands of Moyunling are demon hunters from the adventure group, so the mountains and fields are full of them. They meet evil spirits in the highland wilderness. Both the demon hunters and the evil ghost hunters from the adventure group
In a game between two parties, the one who is smart and cautious will always win the final victory.
Ghost hunters are also very vigilant guys, and their attacks are extremely ruthless.
Many times, life and death are just a matter of thoughts.
Some people cry and some laugh. The world is full of competition.
Many demon hunters, because of their uncontrollable greed, have sent themselves into the hands of evil spirits little by little, becoming a meal in their hands.
There are also many demon hunters who have made fortunes from hunting the evil spirits in the highlands of Moyunling.
Just when the Western Route Army had just conquered the Dake Valley, the adventure groups at that time were just picking up money all over the mountains and plains. Now is the beginning of the hunting game. Both sides are hunters and prey. It depends on who is more ruthless.
Spicy.
Losers leave sadly, while successful people will have more followers. Many adventure groups have grown because of this, and the Hayes Adventure Group is one of the successful ones.
A large number of adventure groups gather here, and naturally many businessmen will follow.
The military buildings in this valley are far more impressive than the garrison camps at the foot of the mountain. The merchants are certainly not stupid. It clearly has the original appearance of a military fortress, so the first tavern in the valley was opened quietly.
Later, someone applied to build exquisite wooden houses in the valley. The wood was planed into square pillars and then stacked one on top of the other. Some wooden houses even had pointed attics. However, to build a house, you need to apply for a foundation from the West Route Army.
.
A large number of people gathered here every day. The first hotel in Duck Valley was also built at this time, which was a three-story wooden building.
Trading houses also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and wooden houses were built one after another in the valley.
Just on the street opposite the military camp, there is a bustling commercial street. There are even more than a dozen restaurants on the street. You can almost find the flavors of Handanar City and the flavors of Bena City.
Where you can even eat soldier ant meat and evil ghost meat, these people will eat almost anything...
