In more than a year, Aphrodite successively produced nearly 8,000 magic contract scrolls. On the eve of the war, the ant cavalry of the Western Route Army expanded to 8,000, and a total of 16 ant cavalry regiments were organized.
, and because the ghost-patterned soldier ants participated in several battles one after another, the number of giant ghost-patterned soldier ants also exceeded the 10,000 mark.
However, due to the successive battles, the number of 70,000 ghost-striped red ants in the West Route Army has dropped sharply to 35,000.
In other words, Surdak twice recruited 100,000 ghost-patterned soldier ants from the Bailin plane. After a year of fighting, there were only 35,000 ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ants left, and one more.
Ten thousand evolved giant ghost-patterned soldier ants and eight thousand ant cavalry mounts.
Nearly half of the ghost-patterned soldier ants died on the battlefield in the Moyun Ridge Highlands, which allowed Surdak to harvest tens of thousands of ordinary magic cores. (The ghost-patterned soldier ants do not have black magic crystals on their bodies.)
In addition, most of the hard armor skins peeled off by the ghost-marked soldier ants killed in the battle were also brought back to Hellanza City by Surdak, and then transported by land to Bena City, becoming Harvey Gopherena.

In the West Route Army, these ghost-striped soldier ants have always been an independent existence. They usually live in caves and will not cause any trouble to the lives of the soldiers in the military camp. Their food is also very simple, basically coming from the evil ghost army.
Those ordinary evil warriors.
The West Route Army claims to have assembled 400,000 troops. Judging from the current situation, the most powerful army is not the Constructed Knights led by Andrew, nor is it the nearly 130,000 heavy armored infantry, but these are completely fearless on the battlefield.
Deathly ghost-striped soldier ants.
Every time a war starts, the ghost-patterned soldier ants are always at the forefront. While the evil ghost warriors and ghost-patterned soldier ants are fighting, the Constructed Knights and the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment enter the battlefield.
In just one year, the Western Route Army won successive victories in the northern part of Handanar County, which completely established the dominance of the Western Route Army in the northern battlefield of Handanar County.
At the same time, because no lord army was willing to reinforce the Warsaw plane, the Bena Military Headquarters made a commitment to prepare for these two reinforcements, which was that the Bena Military Headquarters would bear all the military expenses for material supplies for the east and west armies, and the spoils obtained
But it still belongs to the lords and battlefield commanders of all parties.
It was precisely because of this contract that the West Route Army made a net profit of nearly 50,000 ordinary magic crystals from the 45,000 dead ghost-patterned soldier ants alone, not counting the captured evil ghost legion trophies.
The Western Route Army also relied on its brilliant achievements this year, and the entire army has grown wildly...
Surdak's Constructed Knights have grown from two at the beginning to five, with an additional eight thousand ant cavalry and a monster legion composed of nearly ten thousand giant ghost-patterned soldier ants.
It is worth mentioning that the first-turn knights of the latter two Constructed Knights are basically tribal warriors who came out of the Aegrod tribe. Almost all of these tribal warriors have the peak combat power of the first-turn. In addition, Surda
Ke also absorbed nearly sixty Aegrod warriors, the so-called second-level warriors.
These second-level warriors of the Aegrod tribe were incorporated into each squadron of the Constructed Knights by Surdak. The combat power of the constructed knight squadrons with second-level warriors will increase exponentially.
Five groups of construct knights and nearly 10,000 giant ghost-patterned soldier ants are wandering near the North Sunderland Mountains. They are like passing locusts. Almost no small group of evil ghosts dare to appear at the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains.
…
The North Sunderland Mountains stretch from east to west for nearly 300 kilometers. The mountains in the eastern section gradually become less steep, and the cliffs turn into low mountains that plunge into the inner lake.
In a mountain col less than 70 kilometers away from Neihu, a regiment of more than 700 evil ghosts is trapped inside. Giant ghost-patterned soldier ants can be seen everywhere on the mountain ridge.
With the cooperation of the legion, the evil ghost legion in the mountain col has been completely wiped out. The corpses of the evil ghost warriors lie strewn on the rocky slope covered with trees.
There had just been a bloody battle here. After receiving information from the Magician Scouting Group, the Second Constructed Knights of the West Route Army set out from the Neihu Fortress on the south bank of Neihu and rushed all the way here. They would lurk here.
The evil ghost army in the mountainous area of the forest area was defeated in one fell swoop.
The surrounding mountain ridges were filled with ant cavalry and giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, and they intercepted the fleeing ghost warriors.
There are battles everywhere on the high ridge. Although these evil ghost warriors are much stronger than the ant cavalry, they are not good at climbing rock walls, and they escaped from the battlefield in the col, and have no fighting spirit.
, so when facing the ant cavalry, they almost always fled in a one-sided defeat.
Hitchcock, the leader of the Constructed Knights, had just fought with the evil general in this legion and his arm was opened by a war blade with a wound that was more than a foot long. Although the bleeding had been stopped and he was bandaged with a hemostatic bandage,
But the wound still needs to be sutured as soon as possible.
Therefore, although a large number of evil ghosts fled on this side of the battlefield, the Construct Knights did not launch a deep pursuit.
The Constructed Knights began to collect the spoils on the battlefield. Recently, Commander Surdak has expanded the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry Regiment on a large scale. There are some rumors circulating in the West Route Army. Many knights have heard that Commander Surdak has
The official spent almost all his savings on the battle in the Moyunling Highlands.
Even if there is a defeat in the next battle, the impact on the Western Route Army will be huge...
Therefore, the knights attach great importance to collecting trophies on the battlefield. In the past, many black-striped demon skins were casually abandoned in the wilderness, but now the knights have dismounted and started skinning them seriously.
A group of knights rode on magic-patterned horses, strangling the seriously wounded evil ghost warriors on the slopes of the mountain. Behind them were a group of construct knights on foot, peeling off the skin of black demons.
With the completion of the Neihu Fortress, the Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army have begun to launch an offensive from the Neihu to the North Sunderland Mountains. The cavalry regiment gradually captured the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains.
Seeing the scattered evil spirits fleeing outside the mountain col, several squadron leaders of the Constructing Knights did not want to give up. Each evil ghost represents a rich achievement. Now that they are chased out, these evil ghost heads will be picked up for nothing.
.
But once these evil ghost warriors escape from the mountain col, the adventure group ambushing outside the mountain col will definitely take a bite of this piece of fat.
Some Constructed Knights have seen members of the adventure group emerging from the dense forest. They are constantly ambushing the fleeing ghost warriors with crossbows and trapping nets. Although these ghost warriors are covered with hard bone armor, they are confused.
The body is extremely powerful, but when faced with the adventure group's special animal trap, once caught in the net, it is impossible to struggle out, and the harder it struggles, the tighter it becomes...
Seeing the adventure group hunting evil spirits outside the mountain col, the construct knights wanted to chase them out...
"Captain, should we pursue him?" The captain of the third squadron held the head of the evil spirit general in one hand and the two-foot-long green horn in the other, and asked Hitchcock, the leader of the second construct knights.
"The commander gave us an order at the last meeting, allowing the adventurous groups outside the mountain col to fish for oil and water outside the battlefield, as long as it does not affect the battle on our side," Knight Commander Hitchcock said.
Then the knight leader ordered: "Tell those adventure groups to be careful. There may be a small army of the evil ghost army in the nearby dense forest..."
"yes!"
A messenger immediately agreed, turned around and rode his horse towards the outside of the col.
Knight Commander Hitchcock saw that the battlefield here was almost cleaned, and immediately got on his horse and ordered to a group of construct knights: "Let's go back to Neihu Fortress!"
The assembly whistle was immediately blown within the Constructed Knights, and then a group of 500 Constructed Knights quickly ran out of the mountain col, running along the plains at the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains towards the Neihu Fortress in the east.
go.
The ghost-patterned soldier ants and ant cavalry who were besieging the evil ghost warriors on the mountain ridge quickly withdrew from the battlefield and followed the Constructed Knights back to the Neihu Fortress.
…
Small-scale annihilation battles like this happen almost every day. The Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army use various fortresses on the defensive line as strongholds, using the very time-sensitive intelligence provided by the magician reconnaissance team to raid those who haunt Beisen.
The evil ghost army in Delan Mountain...
These five Constructed Knights will not stay in the North Sunderland Mountains for too long. From the launch of the attack to the end of the battle, they will basically be controlled within two hours. They will not wait for the support of the evil ghost legions from other areas to quickly withdraw.
Out of the mountains.
The benefits of such a blitzkrieg are very obvious. Since the Constructed Knights are a surprise attack, they have an absolute advantage in strength, and there are ghost-patterned soldier ants rushing in front, so there are very few attrition in combat.
The Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army relied on Gaogang Fortress, Neihu Fortress, and Canyon Fortress to launch a surprise attack on North Sunderland. They had completely suppressed the Evil Ghost Legion in the North Sunderland Mountains. As the Evil Ghost Legion gradually retreated westward,
, there are only a small army of evil spirits lurking deep in the dense forest in the eastern section of the mountain range.
As long as these evil ghost warriors are cleared out, the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains will become the occupied area of the Western Route Army.
In addition, Surdak encouraged the adventure group to enter the battlefield of North Sunderland and promised the adventure group that as long as the adventure group did not affect the battle of the West Route Army, after defeating the evil ghost army, the adventure group could hunt and kill the escaped evil ghost warriors at will.
, the West Route Army will not interfere or block it.
On the day this military order was issued, more than 700 adventure groups ventured into the North Sunderland Mountains overnight.
Facts have proved that Surdak's move was very effective. These adventure groups were like a large invisible net spread in the North Sunderland Mountains. When they discovered a large army of evil spirits, they would even launch magic flares to notify those who were high up in the sky.
Magicians who detect the enemy's situation.
As a result, in just one month, the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains almost fell into the hands of the Western Route Army.
The activity area of the Evil Ghost Legion has been further compressed...
Since the North Sunderland Mountains are filled with a large number of flying ghosts, the magicians of the reconnaissance team no longer dare to fly at low altitude in the mountains. Therefore, the small army of ghosts hidden in the dense forest is difficult to detect. With these adventures
This situation changed only when the regiment entered the North Sunderland Mountains.
These flying evil spirits with bone wings also like to appear in groups in the mountains. They usually hide in the gaps in the cliffs. Only when magicians pass by, they will jump deep from the cliffs, and then fly through the air.
Air currents glide long distances.
The flying evil spirits were a great threat to the magicians. After the Constructed Knights drove away the large army of evil ghosts, nearly 8,000 ant cavalry poured into the eastern section of the mountain. A large number of ant cavalry climbed up the cliff.
Use the standard repeating crossbow and short flying spear that you carry with you to hunt those weak flying evil spirits.
It was only at this moment that the role of these ant cavalry was fully highlighted.
Relying on the climbing ability of the ghost-striped soldier ants, they can easily find the flying evil spirits hiding in the cracks of the cliff, clearing the way for the magician investigation team.
…
The biggest advantage of the evil ghost army on the Moyun Ridge Highlands is that there is an evil ghost door in the evil ghost camp of Horsens Mountain. This door connects to the dark area deep in the hell, and the evil ghosts living there
You can enter the Moyunling Highlands continuously.
It's just that Surdak recently discovered that after launching the general attack, the number of evil ghosts on the Moyun Ridge Highlands continued to decrease, and during this period, except for some flying evil ghosts, there were no legions from Horsens at all.
Come out of the mountain camp.
In other words, due to the successive defeats of the Moyunling Highlands Evil Ghost Legion, the Sanaei Evil Ghosts are very likely to be preparing to abandon the Moyunling Highlands...
Through the information obtained from the Western Knights Alliance, they discovered an evil gate in an evil military camp in the Kemperto River. After preliminary research by the magicians, they found that this evil gate is similar to a one-way gate.
The portal, that is, after the evil ghost gate is established, the evil ghosts in the hell can only crawl over. Once they enter the Warsaw plane, they have no way to return.
Surdak has occupied the northern and southern mountain passes of the Moyunling Highlands. The evil ghost army on the highlands has no way to escape, and now they can only fight against the trapped beasts.
…
The Western Route Army won successive battles in the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains, and there were few evil spirits in the occupied areas outside the fortress defense lines.
The merchant group has brought a large amount of supplies from the rear, and they are currently hoarding them at the stronghold outside the Neihu Fortress. In order to pursue profits, the merchants have become very bold. The general attack on the North Sunderland Mountains has just begun, and they will hoard them in Epsom.
The city's supplies were shipped over.
The supplies currently stored in the Neihu Fortress are almost enough to consume the Western Route Army's 400,000 troops throughout the winter.
Before Baron Martino arrived at the Moyunling Highlands, news had already reached the ears of the merchants. They didn't know where they heard it. It was said that Commander Suldak was preparing to build a city by the lake. This was not only
It is a big event. For businessmen, it means a huge business opportunity that is rare in several years.
Before Surdak gave any hint, a business group had already purchased the rock mining rights at the easternmost end of the North Sunderland Mountains from Surdak, and began to build a quarry on the west bank of the inner lake. The first batch of
The masons were recruited from the Ivorson Province, and the remaining quarrying laborers were homeless refugees from Epsom City who had no way to return to the Ivorson Province.
On the first day when Suldak came to Neihu Fortress, he discovered that there were already quarries and lumberyards here...
