There is a huge flat top on the top of the cliff in the east of Dake Valley. Now it is classified as a military control area of the Western Route Army. The entire top of the cliff is surrounded by dense woods.
Many people in the Dak Valley know that the monster legion of the Western Route Army is stationed in this mountain.
Those giant red ants have dug countless burrows on the hillside. The outermost area of this area is surrounded by a wire fence, and there are warning signs every ten meters to discourage unsuspecting outsiders from entering this mountainous area.
After the cavalry regiment successfully returned to the Duck Valley, the number of military guards patrolling this area doubled.
There are some unfounded rumors circulating in the valley camp. It is said that a certain demon hunter sneaked into the mountain secretly, but there has been no news since.
The hillside is covered with tall trees, and the trees are crowded with weeds, vines, bracken and bushes. It is extremely difficult to carve a path from this steep hillside.
Every morning, a large number of evil ghost corpses are transported to the foot of the mountain. There are two business groups in the valley that have signed a material supply contract with the Western Route Army Cavalry Regiment. They are responsible for transporting some evil ghost corpses back from the highlands. These evil ghost corpses are
The ghost corpses are almost all food for the ghost-striped red ants hiding in this mountain.
But few people know that in addition to an army of ghost-patterned red ants stationed in this mountain, there is also a necromancer Ms. Naomi who does not want to have contact with the outside world living on the top of the mountain.
The degree of rigidity in her whole body has exceeded 70%, and the joints in many parts have been completely hardened. Only her thighs, upper arms, cervical spine and other parts can barely move. She can go for a long time without blinking, and she doesn't like to talk much. Now
She even gave up using the magic engraving pen, but the amazing thing is that she can still draw magic patterns on Abomination's body.
Because the skeleton accompanying her could actually hold a magic engraving pen in his hand, and according to Naomi's instructions, he squatted on Abomination's body and drew magic patterns on his rotten skin.
What made Surdak a little confused was how this skeleton possessed magic power, and could actually squat on the abomination's body to draw magic runes in a decent manner.
It is said that after Naomi and the Skeleton Warrior reached a magical contract, Naomi was able to attach her spiritual consciousness to the Skeleton Warrior, and the Skeleton Warrior continued to input mana, so the Skeleton Warrior could draw magic runes.
The skeleton warrior has no sense of smell yet, so naturally he cannot smell the disgusting odor of the abomination.
Looking at the skeleton that seemed a little confused for the time being, Suldak felt that giving him a set of swords and shields would give him some momentum.
The body is becoming more and more like a zombie. In fact, this kind of life is somewhat inconvenient and even painful for Naomi.
She even hoped that life would come to an end soon, and then she could change to another life form and continue to 'live' with the skeleton in front of her.
However, the reason why Naomi has been reluctant to take the final step is also very simple. She is worried that after her death, if she still stays in this world, she will easily be completely erased.
This situation is actually no different than death.
Naomi's daily life is actually very simple. She has been unable to eat anything for a long time. She usually just drinks a little potion prepared by herself, and occasionally needs to perform some daily maintenance on her rigid body.
She and the skeleton sewed each abomination on the corpses of the evil ghost warriors every day, then painted some runes on them, and then injected the soul fire extracted from the evil ghosts into the abominations, giving them another form.
s life.
Naomi and the Skeleton Warrior usually live on the top of the mountain next to the cliff on the east side of the valley, and sew up hatred every day.
After more than two months, a battle squadron of sixty Abominations was actually formed. This time Suldak led the Western Route Army to advance into the Moyunling Highlands, and Naomi's Abomination Army also had to accompany them.
, they are the best cannon fodder for the evil ghost army on the battlefield.
…
The magician combat group of the West Route Army was successfully formed. Now this combat group has annexed the former magician reconnaissance group and currently has 337 magicians.
In other words, Surdak's speech actually summoned 306 magicians.
Although the strength levels of these magicians vary, at least they can control magic tricks, and each of them has a flying tool such as a magic harpoon.
However, these magicians, who were originally the backbone members of various adventure groups, joined the magician fighting group of the West Route Army, and they are bound to have a great impact on these adventure groups. The role of a magician in an adventure group is quite large.
.
Considering that these adventure groups would suffer some losses, Surdak issued a letter to these adventure groups. Any adventure group with a magician joining the West Route Army would receive priority treatment by the West Route Army's medical team.
This compensation alone made some adventure groups with magicians stationed in the valley cheer for joy.
In addition, Surdak also agreed to provide these adventure groups with certain conveniences for hunting in the Moyunling highlands. For example, they could follow the Western Route Army to hunt for those who were alone or on the run.
But the news quickly spread throughout the valley, and at the same time, all the adventure groups in the valley seemed eager to try after hearing the news...
…
In this way, when the Western Route Army entered the first week of September in the Green Empire, the heavy armored infantry regiments began to leave the military camp one after another and march toward the Moyunling highlands in a mighty manner.
Due to the large number of troops, taking only one mountain road will stretch the team very long. Therefore, these nearly a hundred heavy armored infantry regiments are scattered in the complex mountain roads of the mountains at the southern foot of Moyun Mountain. There are heavy armored infantry in almost every mountain road.
Silhouette of a warrior.
Of course, the 70,000 ghost-patterned soldier ants and Naomi's Abomination Squadron were also mixed in the team, but their travel time with the heavy armored infantry regiment happened to be staggered. They lurked day and night every day, so as to avoid those who followed the regiment.
The people in the adventure group and business group were panicked when they saw those ugly monsters.
More than a thousand adventure groups followed the Western Route Army when it set out on the expedition. This was not the first time for Suldak.
In addition, there are more than twenty large business groups setting off from the Dark Valley, and their convoys cover almost all kinds of supplies needed by the legion.
The reason why these business groups are able to develop is actually due to some reasons from the Logistics Department of Bena Military Headquarters...
The reason is that officials from the Bena Military Department discovered something outrageous two months ago:
The Material Supply Division of the Logistics Department is usually responsible for transporting various supplies to the Western Route Army. The supply team rents more than 300 four-wheeled carriages to transport the materials from Handanar City to the Moyunling Dake Valley. This transportation process is actually
Coordinating a large number of four-wheel trucks and manpower is a very troublesome matter for the logistics department.
Occasionally, due to the arrival of the rainy season, the convoy got stuck in an endless muddy road on the big meadow.
The materials could not be delivered to the military camp of the West Route Army as scheduled, and the material delivery date was about to pass. Once the delivery date was delayed, the military department would impose severe penalties on the Logistics Department.
Especially since the Western Route Army has been victorious recently, it has attracted the attention of the noble lords of Handanar City. Once the report is sent to Duke Newman's desk, the top officer of the Logistics Department may really be dismissed from his post.
At that time, a person in charge of the logistics department thought of a way. He rushed directly to the Dake Valley with a bag of gold coins, and then purchased all the materials that needed to be delivered on time from the business groups in the valley, and sent them directly to the West Route Army.
in the military camp.
What the person in charge did not expect was that not only did the business group have sufficient stocks in stock, but the price of such materials was even much cheaper than the price they purchased in bulk in Handanar City.
At that time, the person in charge was a little confused. Although we were purchasing goods in Handanar City, we still had to rent a four-wheeled carriage to transport it hundreds of kilometers to the northern battlefield of Handanar County. The cost of renting a car and hiring a carriage driver
Even with a huge investment, how come the materials purchased in Handanar City are more expensive than the materials sold by the Dark Valley Merchant Group?
This was a bit outrageous, so a price list was sent to the military department.
But then the nobles revealed that the noble lords of Handanar City controlled the market in the city and raised the prices of all supplies. However, those previous deals had been reached. Even if all the scandals were exposed now, the losses would not be huge.
redeem.
Because of this, the Bena Military Department suspended transactions with the noble lords of Handanar City, and then sent only one clerk with gold coins to the Dark Valley, and then purchased most of the supplies from the trading houses in the valley.
Since the logistics department of Bena Military Headquarters began to purchase various military supplies from local business groups, the prices of various daily necessities in Handanar City have dropped by nearly 10%.
Now that the West Route Army has advanced into the Moyunling Highlands, the business group has immediately taken notice of the situation and followed the army with a large amount of supplies, striving to reach more deals with the West Route Army.
In this way, if soldiers in the army have any needs for daily items, they can buy them and use them as they go, which is very convenient.
Due to the large number of competitors, the prices of these two dozen business groups are basically transparent. Basically, the goods are shipped long-distance from Epsom City. The basic price plus freight, losses and meager profits are these materials.
s price.
Although these business groups cannot be regarded as business groups accompanying the army, their current functions are no different from those of the business groups accompanying the army.
…
Every night when it gets completely dark, the ghost-patterned soldier ant army and the abominations crawl out of the temporary burrows on the hillside and head towards the Moyunling highlands along the rugged mountain road.
The Dru Yin commanded nearly 70,000 ghost-patterned soldier ants to march along in a hurry.
The Ant Cavalry Regiment is also divided into two teams, one on each side and one at the back of the team, to prevent some ghost-striped soldier ants from falling behind midway.
As a new force of the West Route Army, Naomi's hatred once again accompanied the army to fight. In fact, Naomi also knew very well that when these hatreds reached the front battlefield, they might become the first batch of the West Route Army to fall.
Even on the march, Naomi would tirelessly sew new abominations while resting in the crypt every day.
There is nothing wrong with this thing except that it exudes a strong stench and looks like a giant dung jar.
…
In the Battle of Beishan Pass, Andrew's reckless entry into the battle caused him to lose his position as the grand leader of the Constructed Knights. He was originally recruited by Suldak to become the captain of the auxiliary soldiers in the Logistics Corps.
Before the expedition, Wolf Knight Tago proposed to Surdak whether Andrew could be reinstated during the war period?
Thinking that the next battle will be extremely cruel, it can be regarded as a battle of survival between humans and evil spirits. There will be no prisoners on the battlefield. Once the soldiers of the Western Route Army are killed, they will inevitably become the rations of these evil spirits.
, and if the evil ghost falls on the battlefield, his head will be cut off immediately.
Considering the cruelty of the war, Suldak agreed that Andrew should return to the Constructed Knights, but at present he is just an ordinary knight in the Constructed Knights.
This time the West Route Army entered the Moyunling Highlands, and a lord's army stayed in the Dake Valley to garrison.
This time Suldak arranged for the lords of the Ludved family, and Viscount Price, the younger brother of Congressman Macmillan, to serve as the defense chief of the Dak Valley.
The main force of the West Route Army left the Dake Valley, and a large number of adventure groups and caravans also left at the same time.
Nowadays, the entire valley has become empty, leaving a large number of vacant wooden houses, and the commercial streets in the valley have also lost their former prosperity.
There are only a few clerks staying here from the store sitting at the gate to bask in the sun. Even if some customers walk into the store, they will find that many of the containers in the room have been emptied, and only a few goods are left in the store.
Even the business clerks have become lazy...
On the contrary, the densely packed magic bed crossbows on the northern wall of Duck Valley made the people in the valley feel inexplicably at ease.
…
The leading troops of the West Route Army passed through many mountain roads at the southern foot of Moyunling Mountains and successfully reached the Moyunling Highlands. They almost relied on their legs to advance on foot.
Almost the entire journey was on hilly roads. These roads were not difficult to walk, but it still took nearly a week.
The 17th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment of the Western Route Army was walking at the front. When they crossed the last mountain pass and saw the flat plateau in front of them, almost all the heavy armored soldiers became excited. Everyone cheered and speeded up.
forward running speed.
The wave of cheers soon spread to the teams behind.
The heavy armored infantry regiments that were the first to arrive at the Moyunling Highlands quickly set up water stations at the mountain passes to provide drinking water to the soldiers who arrived at the Moyunling Highlands one after another.
Others began to set up large iron pots and began to boil water to make porridge.
A group of infantry soldiers followed their leader, used white stone powder to divide some square areas as shown on the magic parchment map, and wrote the numbers of each infantry regiment in these areas.
Since this is the southern exit of Moyunling Highlands, almost all the evil spirits nearby were completely captured by the adventure group, so this area is relatively safe.
Suldak planned to spend the first night of the Western Route Army entering Moyun Ridge at the foot of the mountain pass on the south side.
