The Marquis of Caesar entered the brightly lit temporary command post of the reinforcements in Handanar City. This is also the residence of Marquis Valentin Heller. It is a wooden house with three rooms.
Marquis Heller was sitting next to a round table. On the table was an old parchment map, but the Moyunling Highlands area was still blank on this map.
Marquis Heller raised his head and saw the dark-faced Marquis Caesar walking into the room, so he asked him:
"How did things go?"
Marquis Caesar shook his head slightly, sat on a chair opposite Marquis Heller, put his right arm on the table, gently rubbed his temples on both sides of his forehead with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and replied:
"It's not going very well. The amount of Black Magic Crystal held in the market here is much less than we expected."
This matter made it difficult for him to explain to the group of lords in Handanar City...
The noble lords in the city pieced together this support group and came here just to gain profits.
I thought I could buy a batch of unidentified black magic crystals here in Duck Valley, but what Marquis Caesar didn't expect was that maybe the adventure group had some black magic crystals in their hands, but these black magic energies would not be easily
There are not many black magic crystals in the hands of businessmen, which puts great resistance to his plan to acquire black magic crystals.
"You're saying that Count Surdak refuses to sell the Black Magic Crystal?" Marquis Heller's eyes were sharp and his voice was a little cold.
He is considered the most famous general among the noble lords of Handanar City. He followed the Bena Army to regain Kornberg County and was sought after by a group of noble lords in the city.
This time the noble lords in the city pushed Margrave Heller to the front because he fought two very beautiful battles in Kornberg County.
His character is not very likable. He is rigid, paranoid, and cold. He is a lone wolf-like existence in the aristocratic circle of Handanar City. If it were not for the fact that there is no suitable commander, the position of reinforcement commander would definitely not be suitable.
will fall on his head.
Marquis Xize did not want to argue with him, but said patiently:
"Although there is no explicit rejection, raising the price of magic crystal to a quite outrageous height should be an expression of dissatisfaction with us."
Marquis Heller snorted coldly and continued: "Their Western Route Army has been guarding this valley for so long, and the situation in the Moyunling Highlands has never been opened. What right do they have to express dissatisfaction with us? Waiting for our heavy armor
The infantry regiment enters the Moyunling highlands and builds several strong fortresses on the highlands, and then the situation will be reversed."
Marquis Xize knocked on the table and said: "Having said that, but now... I have no good way to convince Count Suldak, and I can't buy unidentified black magic crystals for the time being."
Marquis Heller said arrogantly: "Then just wait and wait for the news from Simon. It won't take long for our heavy armored infantry regiment to be ready for departure. As long as our regiment can successfully reach Moyun
At Ling Highland, we will definitely be able to seize the black magic crystal."
Seeing that Marquis Heller wanted to lead the army into the Moyunling Highlands, and there was no good way to ease Earl Suldak's emotions, he stood up helplessly and said: "Okay, I will keep an eye on the logistics department.
Let them bring the fodder needed for the war horses as soon as possible."
"Hmm..." Marquis Heller grunted in his throat, then ignored Marquis Xize and continued to stare at the blank map in a daze.
Marquis Xize sighed secretly, turned around and walked out of the temporary command post of the reinforcements.
…
Marquis Valentin Heller continued to sit in front of the round table, looking at the blank parchment map, thinking about how the heavy armored infantry regiment would fight next.
Although he didn't know how the Western Route Army defeated these evil spirits in other battlefields, he was very familiar with the Battle of Bouyin River. He knew that Suldak had a mysterious red ant army in his hands, and this
This regiment has also been recognized by the Bena Military Department.
But in his hands, he only had a group of heavy armored infantry warriors pieced together from various lords.
On the frontal battlefield, currently only the heavy cavalry of the Bena Legion has the power to compete with the Evil Ghost Legion.
As for the battle between the heavy armored infantry regiment and the evil ghost warriors, it basically requires a fully equipped six-man squad to fight against one evil ghost. The 70,000 heavy armored infantry warriors in hand can defeat the evil ghost army of about 10,000 at most. Of course,
This is only in terms of military strength.
In fact, when it comes to the battlefield, 70,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers cannot defeat 10,000 evil spirits.
It is still unknown how many evil ghosts there are in the Moyunling Highlands. According to the information transmitted from the adventure group, there are at least tens of thousands of evil ghost warriors. Marquis Heller feels that this data is a bit exaggerated.
If the number of evil ghost warriors on Moyun Ridge exceeds 50,000, then they may have rushed out from the highlands long ago and captured the forest farm camp in the northernmost part of the Great Meadow.
You must know that before the arrival of the Western Route Army, the forest camp camp only had about 30,000 troops stationed there, so it did not have much combat effectiveness at all.
Marquis Heller led the support army to the battlefield in the Moyunling Highlands. In fact, he had no intention of fighting the evil spirits head-on. He just wanted to lead the support army to occupy a territory in the Moyunling Highlands, and then choose an area that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Build a military stronghold in the place to resist the evil ghost army on the Moyunling highlands.
According to the news from the adventure group, the evil ghost warriors on the Moyunling highlands are about to starve to death and have no fighting power at all...
Marquis Heller believed that if his support army could stay in a stronghold, it should be able to fight against the evil ghost army.
After all, the purpose of coming to Moyunling Highlands is to occupy some land...
I originally thought that when the Western Route Army saw the reinforcements from Handanar City coming to seize the territory, Lord Suldak would increase the speed of advancing into the Moyunling Highlands, and then the reinforcements could follow the footsteps of the Western Route Army and enter Moyunling.
On the high ground, you can choose a position where you can advance, attack, retreat or defend based on your own vision. Anyway, you have the right to command the reinforcements.
As for listening to the command of the West Route Army, it is really a joke!
Who would want to be cannon fodder!
However, the West Route Army has no plans to send troops at present. At this time, it is somewhat risky for the Handanar City reinforcements to enter the Moyunling highlands.
…
Regarding the reinforcements from Handanar City, these adventure groups in the Duck Valley have been keeping a certain distance in the past few days.
Because everyone clearly felt that there were many conflicts between the Western Route Army and the Handanar City reinforcements, the infantry soldiers of the two armies were even somewhat hostile to each other. Fortunately, the soldiers of both sides were usually relatively restrained and no conflicts occurred.
It's just that the Dake Valley falls under the jurisdiction of the Western Route Army, and the reinforcements from Handanar City stationed in the valley need to abide by the code of conduct set by the Western Route Army in some aspects.
This makes the Handanar City reinforcements even more dissatisfied...
First of all, there is the issue of sanitation. The Western Route Army asked the reinforcements in Handanar City to build toilets in the military camp and prohibit open defecation in the camp.
Moreover, there are construction requirements for toilets in the camp. Each toilet needs to have a septic tank with a depth of three meters. It must not only be covered on all sides, but also have a roof, ventilation windows, etc...
As a result, the logistics force of the Handanar City reinforcements needed to dedicate hundreds of people to dig toilets.
Another issue is public security. Recently, there have been a series of infantry soldiers disrupting the normal business order in shopping streets. Currently, there are still more than 20 infantry soldiers from the Handanar City reinforcements being detained in the temporary prison of the West Route Army.
According to the regulations of the West Route Army, soldiers do not have any privileges when conducting transactions even during wartime.
Businessmen who are forced to buy or sell by force, threaten or intimidate will be punished, and they will also have to pay fines.
Finally, there is the issue of different treatment of the two legions. In just one week since the Handanar City reinforcements were stationed in the Duck Valley, Marquis Heller heard a lot of doubts in the military camp. What was more outrageous was that some soldiers actually asked Marquis Heller
I'm asking if there is a merit exchange list for the reinforcements.
The reason why they asked this was because it was said that the grooms in the West Route Army all had some merit points.
In addition, the comparison of various benefits and benefits within the legion made the soldiers in the military camp feel a lot dissatisfied with the legion.
Marquis Heller naturally had no way of giving answers to these questions. The material supplies for the reinforcements of each lord's army were paid by each lord from his own pocket, and these heavy armored infantry regiments were basically the private soldiers of the lords.
As for the trophies obtained on the battlefield... apart from a certain percentage of commission, Marquis Heller could not get any trophies at all.
The reward system such as the merit exchange list simply does not exist for Marquis Heller, unless the lords of Handanar City are willing to pay this money.
So for Marquis Heller, the best way to solve these problems is to leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, these infantry soldiers would probably take off their armor and run directly to the camp of the West Route Army...
On the morning of the eighth day, Marquis Heller received a piece of information from Marquis Simon Jeffrey. Marquis Jeffrey’s description of the Moyunling Highlands was:
'Leading the Constructed Swordsman Group deep into the central area of Moyunling Highlands, we met a large number of adventure groups hunting evil ghosts along the way, but found no signs of evil ghost legion activities.'
This is great news for Marquis Heller. He has always suspected that Count Suldak was exaggerating about the battlefield of Moyunling Highlands. Now it seems that it should be real, in order to prevent other armies from entering.
In the Moyunling Highlands, Count Suldak, the commander of the West Route Army, gave an exaggerated description of the current situation in the Moyunling Highlands.
The 40,000 troops in the camp at the foot of the southern foothills of Moyun Ridge just arrived in the valley. Marquis Heller did not even intend to stay in the valley, so he marched towards the Moyun Ridge highlands with 70,000 reinforcements from Handanar City.
Each infantry soldier in Handanar City's reinforcements was equipped with a war horse, and there were additional horses carrying their luggage and heavy armor. Therefore, the reinforcements moved very fast, and Marquis Valentin Heller did not even attack.
Surdak said goodbye and hurriedly passed through the northern city wall of the valley and entered the mountain road at the southern foot of Moyun Mountain.
…
Surdak stood on the city wall, watching the reinforcements from Handanar City gradually disappear on the mountain road, feeling faintly worried in his heart.
The reinforcements brought so many horses to the Moyunling Highlands this time. What he was most worried about was that once those evil spirits were fed, the next battle might become troublesome.
Four-wheeled trucks carrying large amounts of fodder followed the army and also lined up to leave the valley camp.
It is said that after arriving at the Moyunling Highlands, there is grass everywhere on the highlands, so there is no need to prepare fodder for the war horses. Therefore, after arriving at the highlands with the reinforcements, this transport team will not be in a hurry to return for the time being...
He hoped that Marquis Valentin Heller could last longer as rumored.
The reinforcements from Handanar City left the Duck Valley, and the land where they camped became a mess. There were domestic garbage, dark earthen stoves, and some leftover firewood everywhere.
The only decent building in the reinforcement camp is the wooden toilet hut in the four corners of the camp...
Andrew wore a set of light leather armor and led a logistics team into this area. He kicked away a dark stone in front of his feet. Some sticky marching rations were poured into the fire, and the wooden stakes on the ground were
It was not removed, but the ropes and tent were taken away.
"Boss, do you want to stop their later troops and let them clean up the area before letting them go?" Andrew asked.
In the Battle of Beishan Pass, Andrew's rash attack caused the ghost warriors to rush directly into the camp behind the city wall. At least thousands of aboriginal warriors from the Aegrod tribe died in the battle.
After returning to the valley, Surdak dismissed his position as Grand Master of the Constructed Knights, and now he does miscellaneous tasks in the Logistics Department.
Suldak glanced at Andrew who came to flatter him, and said unmoved:
"Forget it, go find someone to clean it!"
Andrew showed a bitter face.
"yes!"
…
On the third day after the reinforcements left the Dake Valley, the reinforcements from Handanar City had passed through the mountain road at the southern foot of Moyun Ridge and entered the Moyun Ridge Highlands.
The reason why he walked so slowly was because Marquis Heller sent people to explore most of the mountain roads in the mountains at the southern foot of the mountain. He was worried that there might be some remnants of the evil ghost army hidden in these mountains, and they might be killed.
Block your own way back.
After nearly three days of exploration, Marquis Heller found that these mountain roads were well cleared and no evil team was found...
On the first night after entering the Moyunling Highlands, Marquis Simon Jeffrey's second letter came into the hands of Marquis Heller. Seeing the content in the letter, Marquis Heller was not too surprised. Su had previously
Erdak already said it on his real-life sandbox.
In his letter, Marquis Jeffrey also accused Earl Suldak of occupying almost all the land east of the Highlands, but the unoccupied western area of the Highlands is currently frequently haunted by evil ghost legions...
After his Constructed Swordsman Group entered the western region, they encountered three evil ghost legions in just half a day.
Now the Constructed Swordsmen Group has retreated to the middle of the highlands, but no matter where they go, they seem to be able to see the guide sign of Lord Surdak...
