Andrew hurriedly ran to summon the construct knights. The construct knights had just set up the cauldron, and the water in it had not yet boiled.
Almost all the construct knights were holding a piece of baked wheat cake and gathered around the big iron pot, waiting to drink the broth.
This group of construct knights probably haven't had enough to eat in the past few days. Some knights have already eaten most of the wheat cakes.
This group of Constructed Knights was the first group of people to follow Surdak in battles. They had rich combat experience and knew how to adjust and maintain their condition before a battle.
In fact, Suldak really wanted to tell Andrew that there was no need to rush to make preparations. The cavalry regiment's attack on the evil ghost camp was destined to be at night. Only by relying on Selina's fog of war at night could they get more casualties with minimal casualties.
Big results.
I saw Selena sitting in the tent, looking like she was meditating, with an indescribable coldness on her face when her eyes were closed.
You can even see a layer of fine hidden lines emerging on her smooth skin. Those lines are black and blue and spread all over the surface of the skin. There are fishnet-like lines on her face, arms and neck, giving people the impression of a
A porcelain doll about to break into pieces.
Surdak was a little worried about Selina's physical condition. After all, the goddess of night's divine thoughts came frequently, which might cause irreversible damage to her body.
He sat down against the tent door and looked at Selina with some worry. The woman under the black robe slowly opened her eyes at this moment.
The invisible marks on her body slowly dissipated unconsciously.
Her charming face has not left any traces of time, and there is a slight golden glow in her dark brown eyes.
She has very sexy lips, with an upward curve at the corner of her mouth, which seems to be a compliment to the fact that she can see Surdak at the first glance when she opens her eyes.
She didn't say any greetings, but looked at Suldak with gentle eyes, but her eyes were extremely calm.
"You are becoming more and more like a devout believer. I am even worried that one day you will abandon me and go to the temple to serve the goddess of the night and never come back..." Surdak said to Selina.
He hooked his fingers on Selena's chin and looked at this increasingly beautiful face.
A ripple finally appeared in Selena's eyes, and then she smiled and asked softly: "Really?"
Suldak held her arm and lifted up the sleeves of the black robe. On Selena's white lotus-like forearms, there were still black markings that had not faded away.
"With such frequent visits, I'm worried that your body will be homogenized by the divinity of the Night Goddess..."
Surdak expressed his worries.
To put it bluntly, Selena's body is like a vase. Originally, the bottle only contained Selena's soul. But every time Selena prayed to the Dark Goddess to obtain the power of darkness, the Night Goddess would send a trace of divine will to her.
On Selena's body.
At this time, Selina can cast the fog of war, a powerful dark spell at night - it can even be said to be a divine spell.
But every time the mind bends over Selena, her body will be filled with dark power. These dark powers will change Selena's physique little by little, making her like the night more and hate the day.
Suldak felt that Selena had been unwilling to go out to bask in the sun for a long time, and usually stayed in a dimly lit room or tent.
Even if he had to go out, he would wrap himself in a black robe and even cover his face with black gauze.
Selena blinked her eyes. If her pupils were not pure black, it meant that she was not attached to the goddess of the night...
Although the words Surdak said were blasphemous to the goddess of the night, he actually did not have much respect for this deity who had little status in the kingdom of gods.
The 'power' behind him now is the Archangel in the Silver City's high-level Heavenly Angel Council.
Selena smiled slightly, bent down and walked out of the tent, sat down on Suldak's shoulder, turned to him and asked:
"When did you have this illusion? Although she often attaches her spiritual thoughts to me, I am like her coordinate point in this world, just one of the millions of believers.
And all that came was a little spiritual thought. She felt my prayer and would give me a little bit of dark power."
"In fact, this is also a way for her to understand our world."
"Originally, Xigna's body was more suitable. After she was born, I discovered that her body has a rare dark constitution, which is very suitable for absorbing the power of darkness around her."
"It's just that the goddess has chosen me the last few times she has appeared, and my body has long been modified to have a very high affinity for darkness. This is nothing. This is the path that every priest in the temple will take."
"As for whether I will abandon you and hide in the temple alone to serve the goddess, that may be a long time later..."
"Perhaps you no longer need my company in the future. If you live in Luyt City, I will probably be in the Bailin plane. We only see each other once a year. Wouldn't it be better for me to serve the goddess in the temple?"
As she said that, Selina's eyes fell on her arms, and circles of magic patterns appeared on her arms.
Those magic lines are very simple black lines, but Surdak can feel the power of the rules.
Selena's arms and neck are covered with such black lines, but they look more dense than usual.
"Are you scared?" Selena asked with a smile.
Surdak shook his head and said: "Every second-level strong man has magic lines on his body. You are the envoy of the goddess of the night, and you have some magic lines painted on your body. Isn't it strange?"
After he finished speaking, he showed off the magic mark of life on his throat, which was a dragon's throat bone that he had implanted into his body.
Selena looked at the soldiers who had started eating in the camp. At this time, no one came to disturb the two of them. Although the camp was full of people, the twenty meters around this tent seemed like an isolated area.
Same as individual areas.
The two of them sat and chatted at the entrance of the tent without worrying about anyone hearing them.
Selena sat there and smiled and said to Suldak:
"Speaking of which, she was worried that the competitor opposite would take away more believers, so she paid me a little too much attention."
Surdak thought about who the 'competitor' was, and it took him a long time to think of it, so he said:
"Are you talking about the Goddess of Dawn? Why do I feel that this goddess has no sense of existence, or maybe it's just Nika who can feel her power..."
Selina glanced at Nika who was queuing up with a group of medical team maids to receive the broth in the distance, narrowed her eyes, concealed the look in her pupils and said:
"She is like a spring breeze that subtly changes the people around her."
"You may not have noticed that the maids in the medical team now know a little bit of light magic..."
Suldak usually didn't pay attention to the maids given to him by Malacom. He touched his nose and said:
"Really? I really haven't discovered this yet."
Selena stopped saying these, but rested her head on Suldak's shoulder, looking at the busy camp with calm eyes.
"I've been wondering what can be done to break through the fog of war." Surdak whispered to Selina.
Selina put her head to Suldak's ear and whispered:
"Just like it cannot be cast during the day, pure light cannot dispel these fogs, but holy light can."
Obviously she didn't want this to be heard by anyone other than Surdak.
After telling this secret, the floodgate in Selena's heart seemed to be pushed open by someone's hand, and her emotions fluctuated a bit.
"Speaking of which, the goddess has not been able to spread the dark doctrine widely in the Green Empire. It is precisely because of the existence of the priests and priests in the Freedom Temple."
"The followers of the Night Goddess are pagans in their eyes."
"This idea not only exists in the hearts of every priest of the Temple of Liberty, but has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of every imperialist. Everyone will call all people who believe in other than the Statue of Liberty as heretics."
"If we go back ten years, if someone like me appeared on the street, I might be nailed to a cross and burned to death. Even if you were a noble lord... you wouldn't be able to protect me."
"If it weren't for you, I might..."
Suldak pressed Selina's lips with his fingers. Selina pushed his fingers away and whispered:
"I also want to thank you for your company."
After saying this, Selena's eyes seemed to become clearer, and then the two of them remained silent.
…
The knights had a dinner and began to make some preparations before the battle.
Surdak, Andrew, Wolf Knight Tiger, Gulitem, Selina and some other mid-level officers gathered at the tent and spread a hand-drawn map of the Moyunling Highlands on the table.
There are also many traces of alterations visible in the area.
The map at this time will inevitably have some deviations when hand-drawn. Only constant modifications can make the map more accurate, and each modification will make the map more valuable.
In the past, the Moyunling Highlands area was completely blank for the Bena Army in Handanar County.
Almost no one knows what kind of scenery there is on this mountain ridge. The early exploration work of the Bena Army was very rough. This is one of the reasons why Duke Newman defeated Moyun Mountain twice in two campaigns.
The map now in Surdak's hands is the final result of two months of hard work by more than a dozen magicians.
Even so, when Surdak passed through the northern foothills of Moyun Ridge, he modified some of the markings on the map and even marked a channel with a wind layer.
Right at the North Pass, Suldak used a red pen to draw a big red cross on the map.
He then drew the structure of the evil ghost camp on the ground. In fact, there was nothing special to note in this area, because the camp did not have any walls at all, only a few extremely simple watchtowers.
The cavalry regiment should rush directly into the camp from the southern slope, and there is nothing that requires special attention.
Now Surdak is just determining the order of attack. The giant soldier ants will rush at the front, followed by the Constructed Knights, and the Ant Cavalry at the back of the team. They have to rush there where the fighting is fierce.
…
After briefly formulating a battle plan, the sky began to get dark.
Night came later in the Moyunling highlands than in the forest camp, but as night fell, the cavalry regiment left this remote valley in a mighty manner.
The straight-line distance between here and Beishankou is not too far, but the location is relatively secluded and the mountain road is quite winding.
However, in complex terrain, it is just like flat ground to the ghost-striped soldier ants.
Seven thousand giant ghost-striped soldier ants are walking at the forefront, and their figures are everywhere on the hillsides and valleys. This is currently the strongest part of the cavalry army.
Surdak actually never thought that one day he would have to rely on these ghostly patterned soldier ants to win the war.
Seeing the warning signal coming from the front, Surdak quickly rushed over with Gulitem. Groups of ghost-patterned soldier ants were hiding on the back of the hillside. Only Andrew and the magician Basil were hiding together.
Behind the boulder.
There is only weak light in the night, but strong men like Suldak and Andrew can see very far.
Surdak thought that the cavalry regiment had been discovered by the evil ghost army. When he walked over, he discovered that an evil ghost hunting group appeared on the mountain road in front of him. These evil ghost warriors passed by the mountain road below and did not realize that there was something hidden behind the hillside.
cavalry regiment.
Andrew turned his head and looked at Suldak with questioning eyes, his eyes clearly said 'Fight or not?'
Surdak shook his head gently, and then motioned to several people on the hillside to move back.
The cavalry regiment waited quietly on this hillside for more than half an hour. After waiting until the evil ghost hunting group had gone far, they all came out from the back of the hillside and walked quickly through the mountain road.
After crossing another mountain ridge, the dark Beishan Pass finally appeared in their field of vision.
The stars in the night sky are obscured by dark clouds. The wind here is very strong at night. Because there are endless snow-capped mountains not far away, the wind here is very cold, and it feels biting when blowing on the body.
You must know that there is no winter in the Warsaw plane, and the temperature is the same all year round.
The vegetation here is just some grass and moss. Walking on the grass carpet to the north, just one thousand meters away from the Beishankou Ghost Camp, the Ghost Warriors on the sentry post finally discovered that there was something wrong with this area.
The black mist rolling on the hillside began to roll rapidly towards the camp, and the ghost warrior responsible for keeping watch immediately reported to his superiors.
Soon a large number of evil ghost warriors poured out of the camp.
However, they did not rush forward rashly, but quickly gathered in the open space south of the camp.
An evil ghost general walked out of the camp. He waved behind him, and a group of evil ghost warriors immediately followed him. The group of people ran towards the surging fog, seemingly wanting to
Find out what's going on here.
In the fog of war, giant ghost-patterned soldier ants walked forward in a neat line.
Selena stood on the back of a giant soldier ant, exuding majestic power of darkness, and countless black mist surrounded her body like a whirlpool.
Happy New Year's Eve, Little Pig is here to wish you all a happy New Year!
