In the west route army camp at the mountain pass in the south of Moyunling, as the Constructed Knights and the Heavy Armored Infantry Pioneer Group left one after another, the camp has gradually become deserted, except for the hundreds of adventure group tents outside the camp, as well as a
The warehouses stocked by a caravan here indicate that this place will become the heart of the Moyunling Highlands battlefield.
Whether it is the Western Route Army, adventure groups, or caravans, they all deliver a large amount of blood to the entire highland from here.
Surdak sat in front of the round table, his eyes fell on the map, which was messy with countless red and black lines. Signa stood beside it, staring at Surdak with some boredom. She was just about to ride a horse.
I went out for a walk, but before I left the camp, I was called back by Suldak. I felt a little unhappy and wanted to complain to Surdak.
There aren't any evil spirits around here, so it's no big deal to go out for a walk.
Signa stared at Suldak with a pair of big black eyes, her fair little face was sullen, and she didn't say a word.
Surdak deliberately pretended not to see her and left her there.
It wasn't until Selena walked in from the outside that Signa blinked her eyes, pouted her lips, and looked pitiful and aggrieved.
"What? Do you still need me to explain where you went wrong?" Zhen
Selena glared at her daughter. If Suldak hadn't stopped her just now, she would have personally captured Signa and locked her in a warehouse to let her reflect on it.
There are many adventure groups around the camp, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring here. Even if most of these adventure groups come to hunt evil spirits, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no adventure groups hiding some other thoughts.
These adventure groups are basically composed of adventurers, demon hunters, and magicians, but there are also some slave traders hiding among them.
Most of the adventure groups come from Handanar City. No one can guarantee that there are no noble lords of Handanar City mixed in. If someone secretly captures Xigna at this time, it will definitely affect Sur.
Dake, and even the entire process of the Western Route Army's Western Expedition.
So at this moment, Surdak did not dare to let Xigna run out and risk her own life.
Andrew and Wolf Knight Tago led the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry Regiment to the Viliagasi Hills, and Gary Decker led the heavy armored infantry vanguard to the Mevagissi Canyon. There were not many close friends left here.
, no one has time to stare at Xigna.
Regarding these matters, Nika warned Xigna once in the morning.
Obviously Xigna did not take these words to heart.
Seeing her mother's stern face, Xigna shrank her neck and completely acted like a sand chicken.
Suldak reached out and touched Xigna's head, messing up her curly hair even more.
"Go and play. When you have free time, help Nika. Don't think about leaving the camp." Surdak said.
Signa knew that as long as Surdak spoke, her mother would not object again even if she was unwilling to let her go.
When she raised her head, a sweet smile once again filled her face, her big eyes curved into crescents, she held the hem of her princess dress with both hands, curtsied to Suldak, and said happily:
"Got it!" Zhen
He turned around and ran out of the military tent.
"You've spoiled her."
Selina complained softly to Suldak.
"It's okay. Signa is smarter than what we see. She's just a little playful."
After saying that, Suldak leaned back on the chair and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands.
Selina was responsible for the logistics supplies of the entire Western Route Army. The main force of the heavy armored infantry regiment was about to go on an expedition. She was the busiest during this period. She only stayed in the big tent for a moment and then left in a hurry.
Not long after, Samira walked in, followed by the herald who ran to the valley of the North Sunderland Mountains to deliver a message to the reinforcement commander of Handanar City, Marquis Heller. The herald walked to the big tent and said to
Surdak saluted and then said: Zhen
"Lord Commander, your letter has been delivered to Marquis Valentin Heller."
If there was any letter, it must have been handed to Suldak at this moment.
"Um."
Suldak looked up at him and asked: "What did Marquis Heller say to you?"
The herald lowered his head and said: "Marquis Heller just said that the situation is complicated, the reinforcements are limited, and they may not arrive at Horsens Mountain as scheduled."
The tent suddenly became quiet for a moment.
The herald secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't hear Surdak throw the cup.
Regarding the reply given by the reinforcements from Handanar City, the herald was almost stunned after hearing this. The Marquis clearly told Commander Surdak: 'I will occupy the territory first, but you will fight.
It's best not to look for me, because if you look for me... I won't be able to help.'
Although that army is nominally the reinforcement of the West Route Army, if the other party really refuses to listen to Suldak's orders, there is really nothing the West Route Army can do.
Should this lawsuit be taken to Duke Newman? Now Duke Newman may have to go through the portal in Epsom City.
And the House of Representatives of Handanar County is their territory, and Surdak doesn't even have to think about saying anything to those noble members...
"I know, thank you for your hard work. You can go and rest." Surdak waved his hand and said to the herald.
The herald responded: "Yes, Commander."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left. He didn't want to bring disaster to Yuchi. Zhen
Thinking that Surdak must be holding back the anger in his heart, the herald wished he could walk faster.
Half-elf archer Samira clasped her hands on her chest, stood beside the round table and said to Suldak: "It seems that as you said, this Marquis of Heller will not fight with us."
"At least he didn't readily agree and then stand still. At least he gave me some mental preparation." Suldak responded with a faint smile.
Since there were no expectations, there was not much disappointment. At least the Marquis Valentin Heller was a real villain.
"What are we going to do next?" Samira asked.
Suldak did not answer directly, but changed the subject and asked: "Where are Gary Decker's vanguard regiment now?"
Samira clicked on the map with her slender fingers and said: "Here, it is less than a hundred kilometers away from the Mevagissi Gorge," Zhen said
Surdak nodded and continued:
"This battle is crucial. I have to give enough confidence to the adventure groups behind me, so that they will be bolder and spread out like fishing nets throughout the western part of the highlands instead of waiting behind us like they are now.
The situation changes.”
…
In the valleys of the North Sunderland Mountains, an infantry squadron won a small-scale encounter. Although there were some casualties, it also greatly increased the confidence of these infantry soldiers.
Every unidentified black magic crystal will be a glory. When this war is over, as long as you can return home safely, you will not need to pay taxes to the lord for at least five years.
Each of the heavy armored infantrymen, with their hearts burning with passion, continued to pursue them deep into the mountains, following the blood trails left by the evil spirits.
There are six experienced scouts in their squadron scouting the road ahead, always alert to the surrounding movements. Once they find a large number of evil spirits ahead, everyone will immediately mount their horses and run back.
If you still meet a small group of evil spirits, you will naturally eat them in one bite.
Everyone comes to the battlefield here to get a bargain. I heard that the adventure group of more than a dozen people can survive here and the harvest is pretty good. They, the heavy armored infantry warriors, will definitely not have any problems.
It is said that you can pick up black magic crystals by just walking on the highlands of Moyunling. Now this rumor seems to be really... true.
After chasing forward for half a day, they still could not catch up with the six escaped evil spirits. The squadron leader of the infantry squadron did not want to leave too far from the canyon and mountain road, so he thought of leading the squadron back.
Although the harvest this time was lower than expected, it was still a small achievement.
A group of heavy armored infantry soldiers rested for a while in a forest on the hillside. They boiled some water and ate some batter-like marching rations, and then planned to mount their horses and leave the mountain.
But before all the soldiers had finished eating the marching rations in their lunch boxes, the infantry soldiers on guard duty standing on the ridge in the distance waved their hands toward the forest in a panic, then hurriedly pulled the reins of the horses beside them, and hurriedly
Want to mount a war horse and escape. Zhen
A black bone spear flew out from the other side of the ridge and accurately pierced the back of the sentry infantry soldier. The sharp bone spear came out from his chest and penetrated into the neck of the war horse, killing him and the war horse.
String together.
The war horse neighed miserably and fell onto the mountain ridge.
A police whistle immediately sounded in the rest area in the forest. All the infantry soldiers put down their lunch boxes and picked up the weapons around them to prepare for the battle.
The squadron leader of the infantry regiment simply threw the lunch box in his hand at his feet and strode out of the woods.
Before he could shout 'get ready to fight', he saw one, two, three appearing on the mountain ridge...
There was a whole row of evil ghost warriors covered in black bone armor. These evil ghost warriors were holding bone spears in their hands and almost sprinting towards the forest. There were at least dozens of them.
"Everyone, mount up and retreat quickly!" Zhen
The squadron leader shouted, turned around and ran towards the Gu Bo Lai horse beside him.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers in the forest were in a mess. At this time, no one was willing to fight to stop the evil spirits. Everyone went to find their own horses. They thought that as long as they got on the horses, they could get rid of these evil spirits who were already weak from hunger.
of evil spirits.
‘Swish swish’
Bone spears pierced the sky one after another.
The evil spirits stood high on the mountain ridge and fell into the forest towards the hillside.
The throwing distance of these sharp bone spears was much farther than the squadron leader expected. Before these heavy armored infantry soldiers could run out of the forest on horseback, some of the soldiers were already pierced by bone spears and fell off their horses.
There were also some ancient Bo Lai war horses that were pierced by bone spears and fell heavily on the grassy slopes. The infantry soldiers on horseback fell down and rolled awkwardly on the grass. It was impossible to get up and find the war horses again.
If you can still run, you will try your best to spread your legs towards the grass slope.
The squadron leader gritted his teeth and cut the luggage rope on the hook, letting the luggage hang on the horse's butt fall down. He just couldn't take off the heavy armor on the horse, otherwise he would not hesitate at this time.
Take it off.
If there were more than twenty evil ghosts, they might still have the strength to fight. However, dozens of evil ghosts suddenly appeared on the mountain ridge. The few manpower around them was not even enough to beat these evil ghosts to death. If they didn't run away, they would have to wait.
What?
He held the reins with one hand and fumbled with the buckle of the breastplate with the other hand. He took off the breastplate and threw it away, as well as the bulky shield...
When they rushed out of the forest, the squadron leader had already rushed to the front of a group of heavy armored infantry soldiers.
The physical strength of these ancient Bolai horses could not support infantry soldiers running wildly on the grass in heavy armor, even downhill. The squadron leader knew this very well and did not hesitate to reduce all the weight he could.
The other infantry soldiers were not as skilled as him. The evil ghosts on the mountain ridge roared at the top of their lungs and strode hard to chase after him.
One bone spear after another took away the lives of the infantry soldiers. When the squadron leader rode Gubo's war horse to completely get rid of those evil spirits, and then counted the surviving infantry soldiers around him, he found that there were less than twenty people left.
There were more than thirty war horses that came out.
Those evil spirits had stopped chasing them a long time ago. They stayed on the battlefield on the hillside. A group of them were squatting on the grass, almost half-kneeling in front of the corpses of infantry soldiers and war horses. They didn't care whether those soldiers were dead or not, stretching out their scarlet red eyes.
His long tongue rolled up the blood gushing from the wound.
Their bodies seemed to be trembling constantly, and their bone armor made a crackling sound.
When a heavy armored infantry squadron of more than a hundred people encountered dozens of evil spirits, they were almost unable to fight, and were chased by these evil spirits and fled in all directions.
Unfortunately, they were wearing bulky armors, and even with war horses, they couldn't escape. One after another, they became a meal for the evil spirits.
Those evil ghost warriors didn't chase too far at all. They stopped when they found enough food. Waves of low howlings came from the mountains far away...
I heard that the legs of the two dozen surviving infantry soldiers were so weak that they might not be able to walk if they weren't riding on horseback.
... frame
They are a group of ghost warriors who fled into the North Sunderland Mountains after being defeated at the Battle of North Pass.
Being chased by those terrifying construct knights, they can only run away desperately, and they don't need to run very fast, as long as they are faster than their companions.
Later, the construct knights stopped chasing and met groups of adventure groups looking for lone ghosts. They suddenly realized that only by joining together could they avoid being hunted by those adventure groups, and hid in the mountains of North Sunderland in a panic.
, and I was scared to death. There was nothing edible at all in this bare mountain.
They could only eat moss and bark. Just when they thought they were about to die, a heavy armored infantry regiment suddenly appeared in the canyon.
At first they were so frightened that they hid deep in the mountains. Then they found that the heavy armored infantry soldiers formed teams and dispersed into the mountains around the canyon. Then some of the heavy armored infantry soldiers found the evil spirits hiding in the woods.
When these evil ghosts started fighting, they thought they would run away if they couldn't defeat them, but as they fought, they discovered...these heavy armored infantry warriors didn't seem to be as strong as the infantry warriors they met before.
So the evil spirits tried to fight back, and the battle went smoothly. Not only did they kill nearly a hundred infantry soldiers, they also killed many war horses.
All the evil spirits began to squat on the battlefield and feast. They had not been able to have a full meal for a long time.
The smell of human blood made them even crazier, and they let out a low roar of calling.
When the evil ghost warriors in the distant mountains and forests heard such roars, they turned around and walked towards the place where the sound came from...
