During the time when the Western Route Army entered the Moyunling Highlands, Suldak invested three large sums of money in succession.
The first payment was to provide nearly 100,000 sets of fully-heavy armors and various military supplies including food to the Aigrod tribe. These alone...almost have completely separated Surdak from the Evil Ghost Legion in the early stage. All the gains from the battle were consumed.
The second investment is to give 117,000 ancient Bo Lai war horses to the Aigrod tribe. To say how much the Handanar City reinforcements suffered in this expedition to Moyunling, let’s not mention other material losses for the time being. The 140,000 Gubo war horses that the lords of Handanar County scraped together were worth an astronomical figure, which would be around 350,000 in magic crystal.
The third investment was the construction of fortresses in various areas of the Moyunling Highlands. In addition to the two city walls in Dak Valley and Beishan Pass, Suldak successively began to build Gaogang Fortress, Neihu Fortress, and Alinge. River Fortress, Beiyuan Fortress...
Now the walls around Gaogang Fortress have been built, and eight arrow towers have even been built on the northern wall of the fortress.
Every fortress requires a huge amount of expenditure. The economy of the Ganbu plane has just recovered. The revenue of the mines in the Bailin plane is not bad, but almost all the cash flow has been invested in the development of the Dark Worm Valley. Surdak If you don't plan to suck blood from there, you have to find a way on the battlefield on the Moyunling Highlands.
Only by continuously winning can these fortresses be allowed to continue to be built.
This transaction of black magic crystals with Marquis Vorstizer was also the fund Suldak raised to build the Neihu Fortress.
This time he even sold off all the trophies obtained by the Aegrod tribe in the Warsaw plane in recent times to raise the huge amount of money for the project.
The construction of these fortresses also made the area occupied by the Western Route Army impregnable in terms of the battle situation in the Moyunling Highlands.
…
In the autumn of 2592, after the reinforcement plan in the Moyunling Highlands failed, the noble lords of Handanar County finally felt a little more at ease.
In the meeting of the House of Representatives, no noble would bring up the matter of seizing the territory of Moyunling Highlands without batting an eyelid.
Some lords who conserved their strength in the city also sent their troops to Kornberg County.
During this period, the Bena Legion gradually withdrew from the Warsaw plane and finally returned to Roland Continent as a victor. No one knows how much bitterness there will be behind them when they stand in the sun and smile victoriously...
The noble lords of Handanar County had not yet recovered from the defeat in the battle of Moyunling Highlands. Duke Newman once again issued a lord order:
'If the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge can be completely driven out, not only the Moyun Ridge Highlands, but also the Gandael Mountains and the right to develop northward will belong to Lord Surdak.'
The signature is signed by Duke Newman.
Duke Newman no longer paid attention to these noble lords in Handanar City. When the Bena Army returned to the Bena Province in large numbers, he finally recognized the legitimacy of Surdak's expansion of territory in Moyun Ridge.
…
As war fortresses rise from the ground one after another on the Moyunling Highlands...
The evil ghost leaders at Horsens Mountain Camp finally realized the seriousness of the situation. They continuously sent out evil ghost legions to try to hinder the construction of the fortress. However, the West Route Army and the Aigrod tribe had already completed the first step on the Moyunling highlands.
The layout of a line of defense.
On the slopes to the north of Gaogang Fortress, there are almost all bone armor fragments left from the ghost warriors. The ghost warriors left at least 5,000 corpses here, but they never found a chance to break through the highland fortress.
At this time, the top leaders of the Evil Ghost Legion also knew that the battle situation in Moyunling was more difficult than imagined.
After the south gate of Moyunling Highland was captured, this highland no longer belonged to the evil spirits.
When the West Route Army entered the Moyunling Highlands, the Evil Ghost Army had already taken the first step to shrink the defense area and ceded the eastern part of the Moyunling Highlands to the West Route Army.
As the Western Route Army and the Allied Army of the Aigrod tribe guarded the north and south exits of the highland, completely trapping the Evil Ghost Legion on the high ground, the Evil Ghost Legion in Horsens Mountain once again shrank its defense area, so that the West Route Army successively captured
It covers a large area of land south of the Mevagissi Gorge and the Viliagasi Hills.
After the Aegrod tribe alliance army came from the north and established a foothold in the Beishan Pass camp, the tribe's western expedition army fought all the way to the source of the Alinge River.
As the Ghost Army in the northern highlands suffered several defeats one after another, most of the northern tundra that had been firmly held had to be abandoned, and the remaining Ghost Army retreated to the northern part of the North Sunderland Mountains.
The Allied Army of the Aegrod tribe took the opportunity to occupy the center of the northern tundra. According to Surdak's strategic deployment, the Aegrod tribe will build a third fortress in the northern tundra, and the location of the North Plains Fortress happens to be the Valentine Sea.
The meadow chosen by Le Marquis.
When the tribal alliance troops arrived here, they could still see some traces of battle left on the grass.
The reinforcement infantry soldiers who died in the battle have turned into white bones scattered everywhere. There are also some broken scale armor fragments, deflated shields, broken swords on the grass...
Just two weeks ago, the Handanar City reinforcements and the Evil Ghost Army were still fighting here for nearly half a month.
But now, not only the reinforcements from Handanar City have given up here, but even the Evil Ghost Legion has to withdraw from this grassland to the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains.
With unlimited support from the Magician Fighting Group, the Aegrod tribe's Western Expeditionary Army has firmly occupied the north bank of the Aringe River.
In Surdak's camp on the south bank of the inner lake, the command post has received five consecutive reports of aerial attacks on magicians in the past week.
Among them, three times the magicians were attacked and injured by evil spirits. The incident directly made the magicians in the magic fighting group feel a little worried, because the magicians themselves were very weak. They thought there would be no danger flying in the air, but
These several aerial attacks made the magicians realize that the sky in Moyunling is not actually that safe.
Seeing Suldak sitting on the chair reading the report and walking into the tent with refreshments, Selina asked with concern:
"What's going on? I heard that the mage group is always attacked by evil spirits recently?"
Surdak also scratched his head a little. He took the refreshments handed over by Selina, put one hand on the table and pinched the corners of his eyes and said:
"Probably they feel that the existence of the Mage Group is a serious threat to them. Recently, the West Route Army has been able to quickly understand any information about the battle situation on the Moyun Ridge Highlands, causing the Evil Ghost Army to continue to shrink to the North Sunderland Mountains. Therefore, the Evil Ghost Army is also looking for
Ways to deal with the mage group."
"In order to curb the scope of activities of the magicians, the evil ghost army should have appeared evil ghosts with the ability to fly."
Surdak looked a little solemn.
Given the current situation, magicians may no longer be able to go out in pairs to perform reconnaissance missions. Perhaps it would be safer to form a team of five.
The two were discussing this matter,
Aved, the leader of the mage group, and Samira, the half-elf archer, walked in from the outside. Samira was holding a leather bag in her hand and threw it in front of Surdak's desk, and then opened the bag with her hands.
The rope tied to it.
After the leather bag was opened, a giant black bat-like body covered with sharp scales was revealed.
If you look carefully, you will find that this is not a giant bat. When its fleshy wings are fully unfolded, you will find that its body shape is more like a flying squirrel living in the rain forest. This creature also has no wings. The indicators are on its arms and
Some feather-like bone armor grew out between the legs, and it looked like it had two pairs of wings.
And its face still looked like an evil spirit, but it was put into a leather bag by Samira. It was obviously not very big as a single body.
Compared with those evil ghost warriors who are over 2.5 meters tall, this kind of evil ghost is only about 1.5 meters tall, but the wingspan of the bone wings can reach more than two meters.
Probably in order to lose weight for flying, this kind of evil ghost is relatively light, mainly because its bone armor is relatively thin. There are still three bloody holes on the evil ghost's chest, which must have been shot by bows and arrows.
Looking at the sharp bone blades at the end of its wings and the row of sharp teeth growing out of its mouth, you can tell that this evil spirit has a very single attack method.
Once the evil ghost dies on the plane of Warsaw, it will decay very quickly. At this moment, this evil ghost has already exuded a foul smell.
After Surdak covered his mouth and nose and checked, he guessed at Samira and asked: "The one who attacked the magician...is this kind of evil spirit?"
Samira nodded and said:
"Avid took me into a circle near the canyons of the North Sunderland Mountains. When flying at low altitude, there were indeed a few of these guys flying out of the cracks in the mountain walls. Their flying ability is very weak, but they are capable of flying.
It can glide in the air and is very fast..."
"I shot three of them, but unfortunately the other two fell and couldn't be found. I only brought back one that was relatively intact."
Magician Avid added: "If this kind of evil ghost is on the grassland, the flight distance will be very short, the furthest is only two thousand meters, and their legs and arms cannot fly long distances...
It shouldn’t be a fully evolved form.”
"The locations where members of our mage group were attacked several times were in the North Sunderland Mountains. They usually hide in the crevices of the rock walls. When they find the magician investigators, they will slide down from the heights of the cliff in groups.
Okay, they fly very fast in the sky, and they are also very flexible. They can easily catch up with the magic harpoon."
"We found that their weakness is that once the flying altitude of these evil spirits drops, there is no way to raise the flying altitude again unless they encounter strong airflow in the canyon."
"So after we magicians discover them, we can fly to higher places in time to avoid their surprise attacks."
Surdak put on his gloves, pinched the bone wings on the flying devil's arm, and repeated the words of the magician Aved: "Unsafe evolved body..."
Avid replied:
"Well, according to the analysis of our mage group, this kind of flying evil spirit should have just evolved, but its flying ability is still very weak. In fact, we discovered this kind of flying evil spirit as early as two months ago.
Ghost, but the place where they were found was still near Horsens Mountain, and at that time they were also entrenched on the mountain walls near Horsens Mountain."
"It's just that their flying ability was weaker at that time. They could only jump from one cliff to another, but their speed was faster than the evil ghosts now. Sometimes we couldn't even see their shadows.
And they are good at hiding in rock crevices.”
"When I discovered their existence, I banned the magicians from reconnoitring that area. Unexpectedly, in just two months, they could actually fly farther."
After hearing the introduction from the magician Avid, Suldak was still a little worried.
Once the air superiority of the magicians no longer exists, it will be greatly weakened for the Western Route Army.
But as long as you think about how much trouble the magicians have brought to the evil ghost army, you won't be so surprised now that evil ghosts with the ability to fly appear in North Sunderland.
"As long as we take more precautions, flying evil spirits of this level cannot be a threat to us now, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future."
The magician Avid expressed his worries.
"The evil ghost army retreated to the North Sunderland Mountains, probably to avoid the aerial reconnaissance of the magicians." Surdak said.
The recent raids carried out by Andrew and the Constructed Knights in the Villagasi Hills actually had the magician reconnaissance team behind them.
With their flexible mobility and powerful piercing ability, the Constructed Knights have almost become ghost assassins in the Viliagasi Hills. The evil spirits could not stop them, could not hide and hide, and finally had to withdraw from the dimension.
The Liagasi Hills are tucked into the North Sunderland Mountains.
At present, the highland fortress has almost been completed, and the fighting there has subsided two weeks ago.
The evil ghost army wandering around the inner lake area has recently been pushed back to the North Sunderland Mountains by Andrew's Construct Knights. Delia's escort army has been unable to find a small group of evil ghost army here because it is now gone.
Bypassing the Neihu, we move around in the northern tundra along the north shore of the North Lake.
The Aegrod tribe alliance army has also reached the central area of the northern tundra...
The West Route Army and the Aegrod tribe have occupied three-quarters of the Moyunling Highlands. It was probably because they wanted to curb the pace of the West Route Army's attack that the Evil Ghost Army sent out the incompletely evolved flying evil spirits.
However, in the strategy formulated by Surdak, there is no plan to launch an attack on the North Sunderland Mountains during this period.
The main reason is that the heavy armored infantry regiment is not good at mountain warfare. If he wants to gain a certain advantage in mountain warfare, Surdak needs to form more ant cavalry.
But this will only happen after Aphrodite makes enough contract scrolls...
"Boss! Elder Ambrobi has arrived at the north bank of the inner lake!" Samira said to Suldak.
"Oh? It came so fast!" Suldak stood up, picked up the Shefter's cloth armor from the wooden stand on the side, and put it on with Selena's help.
Walking out of the command post, Selina, Samira and the magician Avid followed behind him.
The non-commissioned officers outside the tent saw Surdak coming out and saluted him one after another.
The guard brought his ancient Bo Lai war horse over, and Suldak got on his horse and ran eastward along the shore of the inner lake...
