The iron cage Coffey took out contained a prairie dog. At this moment, the little thing in the cage was squeaking because he was a little nervous.
This kind of groundhog has a docile temperament. If it is a young groundhog, it can become a pet with a little training.
The Moyunling Highlands are rich in a kind of flower-backed prairie dog. When this kind of prairie dog reaches adulthood, its back has pale yellow patterns like a chipmunk. Moreover, this kind of prairie dog is not as smelly as other gophers.
Xigna has wanted to buy one for a long time, but unfortunately Selena has never agreed.
This kind of prairie dog was almost hunted to extinction by evil spirits in Moyun Ridge. This time, Kofi also found several friends from the adventure group to get such one.
After taking the cage, Xigna's big eyes were bent like crescents. She took out a piece of whole-wheat bread from the bag on her waist, broke off a piece as big as her fist and carefully put it into the cage. The woodchuck in the cage
The rat was a little timid, maybe frightened, and just huddled in a corner of the cage, not daring to come close.
"Thank you!" Xigna said happily.
Then he held the cage, bumped Nika beside him with his elbow, turned around and walked back to the camp.
At this time, Nika nodded to Kofi, saying hello, and quickly followed Xigna into the military camp.
Kofi quickly waved his hand to Xigna, turned around and prepared to leave the main entrance of the military camp.
But before Kofi could walk even ten steps away, he heard Xigna's voice coming from the door of the military camp:
"Be careful! This time when you go to Moyunling Highlands to hunt evil spirits, it's best not to go too far. If your luck is really bad, then walk all the way north along the east side of the mountains and go as far as possible."
Kofi didn't expect that Xigna would actually give such a prompt, and was stunned for a moment.
He didn't even think about asking for any information, he just wanted to maintain this relationship, which would be useful in the future. After all, she was the little princess of the West Route Army.
Their adventure group has indeed made all preparations before setting off. This time Captain Hayes is planning to head west along the North Sunland Mountains in the middle of the highlands. It is said that there are often large groups of evil ghosts here. Come here to have a chance.
If you are lucky, you may gain more.
Today, the Hayes Adventure Group has grown to more than two hundred people, including fifty-seven outstanding demon hunters. Each member of the adventure group has a war horse. The adventure group has a very large space for activities in the Moyunling Highlands.
The last time they hunted in the Moyunling Highlands, the most dangerous time was only more than fifty kilometers away from Horsens Canyon.
Precisely because the last trip went very smoothly, Captain Hayes decided that this time the adventure group should be more aggressive. Only in this way can more black magic crystals be harvested.
Kofi thought that at this time, the group leader might still be discussing the travel route with other captains in the group. Thinking of the tips Xigna gave him, he did not dare to delay at all, and ran back to the Hayes Adventure Group in one breath.
The settlement in Duck Valley reported the news to Captain Hayes.
Captain Hayes was originally hesitant about the course of action. After hearing the information passed back by Kofi, he immediately revised the course of action overnight.
…
Dawn had just broken, and the morning fog in the valley had not yet dispersed, when the horns for morning exercises rang out in the military camp.
This made the reinforcement soldiers who just arrived at the valley station yesterday very uncomfortable. They are not in the habit of running and doing exercises in the morning.
Many reinforcements soldiers wanted to huddle up in their sleeping bags and take a nap, but they heard the sound of neat footsteps outside, "Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff", and even the ground was shaking.
These heavy armored infantry soldiers are fully armed when they go out for training. When running, the sound of the armor rubbing against each other is particularly harsh.
There was even a sharp whistle "beep beep beep", and then a group of heavy armored infantry soldiers shouted in unison: "One, two, three, four..."
People in the Duck Valley have long been accustomed to this kind of morning exercise. Even many businessmen took the opportunity to wake up their servants. The soldiers in the military camp have all gotten up to do morning exercises. There is no reason for you to continue to sleep in.
Groups of sleepy-eyed reinforcement infantry soldiers crawled out of tents and stood in the camp wearing only their shirts. They looked curiously at the heavy armored infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army who were wearing heavy armor and carrying heavy backpacks, surrounding the camp.
They kept running laps, and then sat in a row on the side of the track, watching the show and laughing.
Some people even fetched a basin of water from the sink, and after washing their faces, they used a dagger to carefully shave their sideburns...
"Are they stupid for getting up so early for a run?" The voice that spoke was not loud, but it was definitely not quiet either.
Although he did not directly tell the infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army, he was extremely aggressive.
The infantry phalanx of the Western Route Army passing by immediately began to waver, causing some of the running soldiers to lose their pace.
"Pay attention to your running rhythm, do you still want to have breakfast? Don't make everyone suffer together!" The squad leader of this infantry phalanx shouted in a hoarse voice.
The chaotic sounds in the infantry square immediately disappeared, and groups passed by the runway at the edge of the camp.
Seeing that no one in the infantry phalanx of the West Route Army dared to stand up and fight back, the reinforcements of the infantry soldiers probably felt that their good dreams had been disturbed, and the jeers became louder.
"Maybe it's because they don't have horses to travel with!"
"It's true, I really didn't see where their stables are."
"A high-quality Gubo Lai war horse costs at least twenty gold coins in the market. I guess their lord can't spend that much money to buy a horse."
As soon as these words were spoken, the infantry soldiers in the phalanx all looked in the direction of the sound, but they did not stop because of this...
Feeling that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense, someone immediately comforted me: "Don't speak so loudly when you are joking, be careful not to be heard."
The infantry soldiers of the reinforcements stood and watched for a while. They found that they could only eat ashes while standing here. It didn't take long for the people who lost interest to disperse.
After the morning run, the cafeteria is open for breakfast.
There are a total of fifteen large dining halls in the West Route Army barracks, but even so, they cannot provide breakfast to 140,000 infantry soldiers at the same time. All infantry regiments here have fixed times for dining in the large dining halls.
The Corps has a window to receive meals, and there is only twenty minutes to receive meals, which is just enough time to queue up and get breakfast.
At one time, almost the same infantry regiment queued up at the same window to receive meals.
This made the dining hall look very orderly, with the infantry soldiers lining up neatly and almost no one whispering to each other.
Those who have received their meals can dine at the long row of tables outside the large dining hall. Of course, some people choose to stand in front of the merit exchange list with cereals in their hands, so that everyone can see what new rewards are on the merit exchange list.
Since the number of the West Route Army continues to expand, and the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry have just returned to the camp with a lot of achievements, the merit exchange list has been updating rewards almost every day recently.
As the dining hall became lively, the infantry soldiers of the reinforcements also became hungry.
In the past, they, the Lord Army, would make their own fires to cook. Usually a small team would set up a simple earthen stove, and then hoist a small black cooking pot to cook porridge or boil water with dry wheat cakes.
eat together.
Because this kind of alliance-formed lord army goes on an expedition, the lords are responsible for the materials and supplies, so each infantry soldier brings his own rations. Even the weapons, armor, and horses are privately owned by the lords, and the trophies obtained on the battlefield are
It was also the Lord's Army's side that took the bulk, which was completely different from the West Route Army's side.
The infantry soldiers of these reinforcements saw that there was a large dining hall in the military camp, and that all the infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army who had just finished morning exercises were lining up to have breakfast, and they began to talk:
"It seems like dinner is about to begin, should we go too..."
"Didn't you see them dining in batches? Should we ask our group about the dining order..."
Everyone started talking and discussing. At this time, some captains got up from the tent, and everyone encouraged the captains in the regiment to go and ask.
They didn't want to participate in the morning exercise, but they didn't want to be left behind when eating.
The captains of each infantry regiment rushed to the door of the nearest large dining hall and began to ask the porridge cook when it would be their turn to eat. The news they received was somewhat unacceptable to the captains.
"No……?"
A captain of the Second Infantry Regiment of Lord Nelson's Army asked in surprise: "We had a sumptuous dinner at your place last night!"
The cook impatiently pointed to a person in charge at the entrance of the dining hall and motioned to ask there. He was not responsible for explaining these things.
Several captains ran to ask, and the chief of the big dining hall responded like this: "Yesterday was the welcome ceremony, and your supplies were separately allocated by Handanar City, so from today on, you have to be responsible for your own food every day.
…”
"...Unless your lord reaches an agreement with our Western Route Army commander, Lord Suldak, and we provide breakfast for you, your infantry soldiers can only eat with us!"
A group of captains were dismissed by the officer in charge with a few words, and then reported to the commanders of each infantry regiment. The matter was then reported to Marquis Valentin Heller.
Unexpectedly, the stubborn Marquis Heller had no intention of negotiating with Suldak. He waved his hand and ordered: "Each infantry regiment will build its own earth stove and solve the meal problem by itself!"
In fact, these infantry regiments have been here all along, but there is no harm if there is no comparison. Why can they have a hot breakfast after training, while my own infantry regiment has to collect firewood for the stove when they wake up?
Cooking porridge, if you want to have breakfast like this, it will probably be noon...
Immediately some infantry soldiers began to complain privately.
…
A messenger led the horse and left the valley before the morning fog cleared. He carried a transfer order from Lord Marquis Heller in his arms.
The remaining reinforcements stationed at the foot of Moyunling Mountain will gradually arrive at the camp in the Dake Valley within half a month. There are currently 40,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers on standby in the city garrison at the foot of the mountain. Marquis Heller plans to
All heavy infantry regiments were mobilized in the Dark Valley.
It is estimated that when preparations are made here, there should be news from Marquis Jeffrey, who formed the Swordsmen Regiment, and then the army will immediately rush to the Moyunling Highlands and begin to occupy a large area of territory.
During this period, the fodder required by the tens of thousands of war horses in the valley will be continuously supplied by the logistics group from the large meadow.
Although the long supply line has brought a heavy burden to the lords, at this point, these noble lords of Handanar County gritted their teeth and persevered.
Last autumn, Duke Newman transferred 200,000 reinforcements from the Bena Province for the last time. The lords in Handanar City did not say that they would put their own lords' troops on the battlefield, but now they are scrambling to be the first.
Send out the army.
The purpose is to be able to enter the Moyunling Highlands in advance under the leadership of Marquis Heller.
That’s right!
The reinforcements' heavy armored infantry regiment entered the Moyunling highlands just to occupy some unoccupied territory. As for attacking the evil ghost camp, the lords in Handanar City had no such idea...
Of course Surdak knew about these situations.
He stood on the city wall and looked at the rising sun. The morning fog in the entire valley began to dissipate quickly.
The half-elf archer was holding a sky strike bow and performing jujitsu on the city wall. Suldak felt that she was the most beautiful when she was wearing salamander leather armor. Apparently after becoming a second-level powerhouse, Samira was also looking for a breakthrough.
road.
At this time, Marquis Watersizer walked up the stone steps.
The marquis came to the front and immediately said to Suldak straight to the point:
"Your Majesty Earl Suldak, the lords of Handanar County are willing to spend gold coins to purchase the Black Magic Crystal. This time, they entrust me with full responsibility to talk to you. No matter what the current situation is, we can actually sit down
Come down and make a deal.”
Suldak looked at Marquis Caesar, turned around and held his hands on the wall and said:
"Are you talking about a deal? Okay! Twenty gold coins for each unidentified magic crystal. You can negotiate as much as you want. The larger the amount, the more expensive the unit price will be. If the quantity purchased is too small, please go to the black market in Handanar County.
Buy."
"Now adventure groups can also buy black magic crystals. I don't want to repeat the specific price."
"Why does the price increase the more you buy?" Marquis Caesar asked in confusion.
Surdak smiled and replied:
"There are only so many achievements, which means there are only so many opportunities for promotion. This is Handanar County. If you want to buy black magic crystal, you can still buy it. You also know that I am from Talapagan in Bena Province.
In this small place, there are many noble barons who have piles of gold in their cellars. Everyone needs black magic crystals. There is a thick stack of orders sent to me now. You also know that everyone is in a noble place.
In this circle, it is difficult to say no to many things."
"I only have so many unidentified black magic crystals in my hand. If anyone takes more, someone will inevitably take less."
"So the more you buy in a single batch, the higher the unit price will be..."
