In the northern part of the North Sunderland Mountains, this mountain range runs across the central part of the Moyunling Highlands and is closely connected with Horsens Mountain in the west of Moyunling. The entire mountain range runs east-west, and the eastern part of the mountain range directly reaches the largest cold water lake in the central part of Moyunling——
Neihu.
This mountain range cuts the land in the west of Moyun Ridge into two, and now the Handanar City reinforcements have classified the land extending 200 kilometers along the west bank of the Neihu into the occupied area.
Boundary monuments have begun to be buried, and almost all of the richest land to the west of the central highland has been occupied.
A heavy armored infantry regiment of 40,000 men, led by the Marquis of Valentin Heller, was marching through a gorge in the eastern mountains of the North Sunderland Mountains.
This canyon happens to be the connecting passage between the north and south lands in the western area of Moyunling Highlands. Currently, the Handanar City reinforcements want to enter the northern western area from the southern western area. Passing here is the fastest way, except for this canyon.
In addition, if you want to enter the North District, you must detour along the shore of the Neihu Lake. Not only will you walk three times longer, but you will also have to pass through the territory of Earl Suldak.
Of course, Marquis Heller was confident that he could pass smoothly, so he led a large group of people to take this road.
Prior to this, Marquis Simon Jeffrey had led 1,500 constructed swordsmen as the vanguard and passed through this canyon very smoothly.
The Constructed Swordsmen also saw some evil spirits along the way, but after seeing the Constructed Swordsmen, those evil ghost warriors couldn't wait to get into the mountains. They seemed to have no fighting spirit and looked like they couldn't wait to escape.
Marquis Heller hopes to bury a large number of boundary markers on the edge of the land in the northern part of the western Highlands as soon as possible. Only in this way can it be proved that this land belongs to the lords of Handanar City.
Each of these heavy armored infantry warriors is equipped with two war horses. Not only can they be swapped when marching in a hurry, but they can also have another horse carry heavy armor and luggage. Even if the army travels long distances and marches in a hurry, the soldiers can take turns riding.
Let Gubo Laima regain his strength.
Facts have proved that the information sent by Marquis Jeffrey was very accurate.
Along the way, Marquis Heller also met several waves of evil ghost warriors, but after seeing the heavy armored infantry, they retreated into the mountains without even fighting.
Marquis Heller never expected that those evil ghost warriors who existed like menacing gods on the battlefield in Kornberg County would be as timid as rats hiding in burrows on Moyun Ridge.
This canyon looks extremely quiet, with only the occasional bird song coming from the sparse woods on both sides of the canyon.
It had just rained heavily in the morning, and the road in the canyon seemed a bit muddy. The rainwater flowing down the hillside merged into a muddy river at the bottom of the canyon, and the water flow was not fast.
Perhaps it was because it had just rained, and the surroundings were filled with a fresh smell.
Countless war horses trampled the only road in the canyon to pieces, and a herald came from behind on a fast horse.
He was riding a different Gubo war horse. There were several faint lines on the front legs of this horse, and it was like a gust of wind when it ran. Every time it jumped forward,
time, it is much farther than other ancient Bo Lai Ma.
The young herald was wearing leather armor, accompanied by a knight's sword, and a leather satchel slung across his body, and he chased directly towards where Marquis Heller was.
When he arrived in front of Marquis Heller, he happened to be stopped by two guards beside Marquis Heller.
"Marquis Heller, I am the herald of the Western Route Army. Commander Suldak has written a letter to you..."
The herald took out a scroll of parchment from his leather satchel and shouted loudly to Marquis Heller, who was not far ahead.
Marquis Heller frowned slightly and turned to look at the herald with some dissatisfaction. His eyes were a little cold, which frightened the herald into shutting up immediately.
"bring here!"
After a while, Marquis Heller said to the guards beside him.
The guard quickly took the letter from the herald and handed it to Marquis Heller. Marquis Heller unfolded the parchment, read the letter silently, and then came with an intriguing smile on his lips.
.
"Tell Count Suldak that I have received and read his letter, and I will try my best to cooperate with his actions."
After saying this, Marquis Heller's voice paused, his tone became a little uncertain, and then he said:
"However, the situation on the battlefield here in the North Sunderland Mountains is relatively complicated. Our heavy armored infantry regiment in Handanar City has limited combat capabilities and may not be able to advance into Horsens Mountain as scheduled."
"Keep everything simple during the march. I won't write a reply. Just follow my instructions and send a message to Count Suldak."
"Have you remembered what I said?" Marquis Heller's tone rose, and the ending was even a bit sharp.
The herald kept his head lowered. When he heard Marquis Heller's question, he quickly said: "I have written it all down..."
Marquis Heller waved his hand, indicating that the messenger could leave.
Then he turned around and continued on his way...
As for Suldak's order for the reinforcements to move westward along the Villagasi Hills, Marquis Valentin Heller pretended that he had not seen it at all.
What a joke. Now that the reinforcements from Handanar City are about to pass through the North Sunderland Mountains and enter the western and northern areas of the Moyunling Highlands, how could they return the same way and call in the heavy armored infantry scattered in other places?
The regiment, following the route drawn by Surdak, approached the evil ghost camp.
They did not come here to kill many evil ghost warriors. Marquis Heller was quite familiar with the terrifying combat power of the evil ghost warriors.
The main purpose of their coming here is to occupy more land. Since the hateful Lord Suldak has included all the best eastern areas into his territory, of course Marquis Heller will try his best to transfer the remaining land to Han Dynasty.
The occupation area of Danar City reinforcements.
As for whether he obeyed Count Suldak's military orders on the battlefield in Moyunling Highlands, that depends on how he says it.
A count commander wants a distinguished marquis to execute military orders. Even if Count Suldak complains to the parliament of the Bena House of Representatives, they can only argue with each other. Even if there is Marquis Luther standing behind him, but Heller
The Marquis is the noble lords of Handanar City.
Marquis Heller thought of this and waved to a guard beside him.
The bodyguard rode over and shouted respectfully: "Your Majesty the Marquis!"
"Send the order and ask the soldiers in front to speed up and try to cross this canyon before dark and try not to conflict with the evil spirits here." Marquis Heller ordered to the guards around him.
"Yes." The guard replied immediately.
…
In recent times, the reinforcements have encountered ghost warriors several times in the mountains of North Sunderland. However, the number of those ghost warriors is very small, only dozens...hundreds. They encountered reinforcements from Handanar City.
An army numbering in the tens of thousands ran into the mountains without looking back.
These several encounters with evil spirits gave Marquis Heller great confidence that those evil spirits were nothing more than that.
In fact, many of these evil ghost warriors escaped from Beishan Pass. All the confidence of the evil spirits who experienced the battle at Beishan Pass was shattered. They hide in these mountains just because they can still enter the mountains.
Find something to eat so that you don't starve to death.
When they see the Green Empire's army, they will subconsciously hide.
They fled from the battlefield at the North Pass all the way into the North Sunderland Mountains, losing countless companions along the way. At this time, a large number of their heavy armored infantry regiments passed through the canyon without even the thought of harassing them.
There are many such evil ghost teams along the North Sunderland Mountains. They always gather in dozens or hundreds, so there is no need to fear the demon hunters in most adventure groups.
…
Although Marquis Valentin Heller has no intention of fighting this group of evil ghost warriors, this does not represent the intention of all reinforcements.
This reinforcement from Handanar City was actually pieced together by many lords' armies. Marquis Heller was only the supreme commander of the reinforcements, and the real command authority of many lords' armies was still in the hands of the commanders of the various infantry regiments.
When everyone saw that the ghost warriors in the North Sunderland Mountains were as timid as mice, some of the commanders of the infantry regiments became excited.
This support force forced its way into the Moyunling highlands. In addition to wanting to occupy some land, it also wanted to acquire some unidentified black magic crystals.
Now that a large area of land has been included in the occupied territory, the leaders of the infantry regiments are thinking about whether they can obtain some unidentified black magic crystals at the minimum cost.
Marquis Nishizawa's magic crystal acquisition plan here has not been going well, so when these group leaders saw the evil ghost warriors emerging from the mountains, they had some careful thoughts.
There will always be some small groups of warriors in the reinforcements who sneak into the woods on both sides of the canyon to hunt evil spirits in the name of investigating the surrounding enemies.
…
These warrior squads still took some advantage in the early stages.
There are no steep peaks in the North Sunderland Mountains, it is more like a closely overlapping hilly land.
The terrain of the mountains on both sides of this canyon is also quite gentle, and the woods on the hillside are like the black patterns on cows, distributed in patches among the mountains. The rest of the place is covered with moss, grass and patches of bushes.
, of course you can also see patches of rocky areas.
A squadron of heavy armored infantry riding Gubo war horses crossed the mountain ridge in front of them. The scouts in the team followed the footprints left by the evil spirits on the grass after the rain and tracked them to the front of the forest area.
The squadron leader of the heavy armored infantry squadron even smelled the unique stench of evil spirits coming from the woods in front.
The woods were extremely quiet, not even the cicadas chirping or birds chirping. As the squadron leader waved his hand behind, more than a hundred infantry soldiers jumped off their horses, quickly put their armor on their bodies, and took off their saddles.
Take out the sword and shield from the rack.
They obviously did not rush into the woods in a hurry, but quickly formed a square formation in front of the woods.
The shield warriors are at the front, followed by warriors holding spears and warriors holding axes. Only this mixed heavy armored infantry regiment can quickly kill evil spirits in battle.
For heavy armored infantry, forming a square formation and rushing in is far safer than rushing into the woods in small groups.
Several scouts with reconnaissance capabilities were mixed in the team of shield warriors. They were wearing heavy armor and holding standard repeating crossbows. The trees in this dense forest were covered with weeds...
The woods were not very big, so a few scouts circled around the woods and judged that there were not many evil ghost warriors hidden here.
This is why the squadron leader decided to fight here.
Just as the whole row of shield warriors stepped into the woods, the scouts mixed in with the shield warriors discovered the ghost warrior hiding behind the tree, with several bone spurs sticking out from behind the trunk...
Several scouts almost fired crossbows at the evil ghost warriors.
The battle is about to break out.
Some ghost warriors had no intention of fighting at all. When they saw the heavy armored infantry rushing in from outside the woods, they hurriedly evacuated.
There were also some evil ghost warriors who didn't want to escape anymore. They rushed out from behind the tree trunks with swords in their hands, and strode towards the phalanx to kill them.
However, there were only seven ghost warriors who had the courage to rush over, and the remaining few chose to flee the forest quickly.
More than a hundred heavily armed heavy infantry warriors collided with seven evil ghost warriors, especially the row of shield warriors in front. The sword in the evil ghost warrior's hand was parried by the shield, and the spear warrior behind struggled to stab out the sword in his hand.
Spear...
These evil ghost warriors did not even think about dodging. They allowed the spears to pierce through the bone armor of their bodies. Although the war blades in their hands were blocked by the shields, they used their physical advantages to sweep towards the heads of those shield warriors.
.
Three shield warriors dodged cleverly, but the other four shield warriors failed to dodge. Two war blades slashed on the iron helmets, creating a spark, and the other two war blades slashed along the helmet and chest.
The gap in the armor cut into the neck, and the heads of the two infantry soldiers flew out together with their helmets.
The evil ghost warriors reached out and grabbed the spears pierced into their bodies. When they were about to die, they spun their bodies wildly and the spears were forcibly swung.
The spear warriors were caught off guard and all the spears fell out of their hands.
Immediately, the evil ghost warriors strode into the phalanx. This endless battle was destined to end only when one party fell completely.
With their huge numerical advantage, the heavy armored infantry squadron took a quarter of an hour to surround and kill the seven evil spirits, but they also paid a heavy price with five dead and seventeen injured.
The evil spirits who are desperate to fight back are much stronger than they think.
At the end of the battle, the ax warriors at the back of the team rushed up quickly and chopped off the heads of the evil spirits. The warriors with skinning skills began to skin the black demons. They were very skilled at doing this.
There are also some soldiers who help bandage their injured comrades. As for the fallen comrades, they will be buried on the spot, and their horses, armor, weapons, and personal property will be taken back by the squadron leader of the battle group.
This is the battle of ordinary infantry soldiers. These soldiers have long been accustomed to it, and no one has a mental breakdown just because a few people died.
Everyone is performing their duties to clean up the battlefield. The injured warriors will be sent to the legion's ranks by their companions, and the others will continue to chase the six evil ghost warriors who escaped.
After this battle, these infantry soldiers have finally woken up. The evil ghost warriors hiding in this mountain do not seem to have changed at all. They are as ferocious and fierce as the evil ghosts in other places, and at the same time, they are more ferocious than other places.
