Immediately afterwards, a rebel team searched along the way the woman came. They were wearing black clothes and almost blended into the night. It was difficult to see them if you didn't look carefully.
They did not find Surdak standing on the top of the mountain.
After searching all the way to the oat fields at the foot of the mountain, no trackers were found, so the rebel reconnaissance team returned the same way.
The woman pressed against the stone wall of the cave, wrapped in a worn-out military blanket. She drank a glass of cold water to calm down her mood a little, and then she told the news about seeing a fully armed knight in the evening. She even told Sur
The weapons and equipment carried by Dak are described in detail.
Coming to Bena Province to cooperate with the Dark Moon Gate mission, Captain Cavendish is the supreme commander of the rebel army. At this moment, he is sitting opposite the refugee woman. He has a thin body, slender cheeks, and a pair of big, slender and powerful hands.
, he asked carefully about the structure and characteristics of Surdak's armor. The refugee woman also observed it very carefully and described almost all the details.
However, the more detailed it was, the heavier Cavendish felt in his heart.
Because the person who came turned out to be a Construct Knight.
Among the rebels he leads, there are at least twenty people who are qualified to become construct knights, but he is the only one who owns a complete set of old magic pattern constructs.
The expensive magic pattern structure is almost an untouchable high-end armor for these rebels.
Captain Cavendish knows that a set of magic pattern constructs can greatly improve the first-turn knight. This also means that if they are singled out, I am afraid that none of these subordinates can defeat the construct that Helensa City came to investigate.
knight.
He frowned and asked again the direction the construct knight was taking into the mountain.
The refugee woman only said that it was too dark in the evening and the knight could not be seen as soon as he entered the mountain.
After receiving the news, the twelve team captains gathered around Cavendish one after another.
"Squadron Captain, have any knights from Helensa City entered the mountain?" A captain named Buddy asked Cavendish. He was Cavendish's old subordinate who was in Sloit City.
He served under Cavendish at that time, and later joined the rebel army with Cavendish.
If the coup was successful, Cavendish might now be the director of the Sloit City Intelligence Agency or the commander of the city defense army. However, the coup failed and Baron Kay died on the banks of the Galloping Horse River. Now
He is just a rebel leader hiding here and there.
There was great hope of breaking through the second rank and becoming a strong player, but now everything is lost because of the wrong decision.
Cavendish nodded, always with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Captain, what should we do?" Buddy held his chest high. He was always in a high-spirited state.
After so many years, following him through all the obstacles, Captain Cavendish glanced at him and said:
"Pack it up, he may not be able to find us so quickly. Some refugees must have run out to deliver news to the guard camp in Helensa City. We can no longer wait for the oats to mature. We must harvest those oats overnight. After harvesting these oats,
Go toward the desert."
"Yes!" Buddy and other team captains took the order at the same time.
Then Captain Cavendish ordered the scout team leader who was responsible for the reconnaissance mission and said seriously: "Take someone to conduct a reconnaissance to see how many troops are around. If only a small group comes, then we will kill them."
Eat it before leaving, otherwise there will always be people following us, which is not a good thing."
"Yes, Captain!" The leader of the scout team quickly walked out of the cave.
The scout team has a total of twenty members, which is the largest among the rebel squads. It is almost equivalent to half a squadron. Moreover, the members of the scout team are all good at lurking and hiding. However, they found a whole group of people in Death Ridge.
That night, I couldn't find the construct knight.
Instead, three ghosts were discovered in the wild. Taking advantage of the fact that these three ghosts had just condensed, the scout team hurriedly gathered people to kill these three ghosts.
…
As the Void Door opened in the room, the breath of countless space cracks continued to spread outward from the magic circle.
The room was Samira's bedroom on the second floor of the police station. Samira and Andrew were waiting in the room.
Aphrodite had set up the summoning circle in the room and was sitting aside.
Thick curtains were closed tightly, and white bread, jam, and roast lamb were placed on the table by the window.
The barbecue is already cold. This is food that Samira prepared in advance. In fact, she prepared one last night, but Surdak did not come back.
Surdak walked out of the space-time rift. After passing through the space-time rift of the summoning circle so many times, he had long been accustomed to the bad reaction of traveling through different dimensions. When he saw Andrew and Samira were there, he asked
: "Has Karl arrived at Wall Village with the guard battalion knights?"
Andrew stood up and replied: "Yes, Captain, Captain Carl has mobilized the Knights of the Relief Squadron as the vanguard to rush to Wall Village. Captain Solon will lead the team to Wall Village tomorrow morning."
Suldak walked to the window, lifted the curtains and looked outside. It was dark outside.
"Captain, have the rebels been found?" Andrew asked curiously, standing behind Suldak.
Surdak turned his head, spread a map on the table, and said, "I found it. As expected, Death Ridge is hidden in the Western Wasteland. If they move, I will mark it along the way."
After saying that, he reached out and picked up a piece of white bread and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating:
"This group of rebels is already on alert. It is estimated that they may move at any time. You must move quickly. Here is the map. It will save the most time to follow the route I marked."
Sure enough, there was a clear thin line marked on this simple parchment diagram.
"Captain, how many people are in this rebel army?" Andrew asked again.
Suldak thought for a while and realized that he really didn't know how many people there were in this group of rebels. If he wanted to find out the specific number of people, he would have to sneak into the cave. He didn't want to alert the enemy for the time being, so he said:
"They are hiding in the cave. The specific number of people is currently unavailable."
Andrew asked again: "Is there a magician from the Dark Moon Gate?"
Surdak said: "There was no sign of the magician last night. If there is any sign, I will notify you in time."
After filling his stomach with the food prepared by Samira, Surdak prepared to return to Death Ridge.
Before leaving, Andrew asked Suldak: "Aren't you going to meet with Captain Karl?"
Surdak waved his hand and said casually: "Forget it, Aphrodite, guard Wall Village well, and call me if there is any situation."
Half a foot stepped into the void rift, Surdak stopped and asked: "Is Gulitem back?"
Andrew said: "Not yet, there are a lot of salamanders running out this time..."
Surdak nodded and just said: "Okay, if there is nothing to do, I will go back and monitor those guys. When Gulitem comes back, remember to tell that guy to keep all the salamander heads."
"Got it, Captain." The indigenous warrior Andrew watched Surdak disappear into the void again.
Aphrodite yawned, turned and left Samira's room.
Karl and the knights from the support squadron did not live with the security team. The house of the security team could not house the sixty guard battalion knights anyway, so these guard battalion knights temporarily stayed in the row houses at the entrance of the village.
Andrew waited patiently until dawn, then ran to the door of Karl's room and handed the parchment map to Karl.
"Is your captain back?" Karl asked casually.
"No, I just asked someone to send the news!" The indigenous warrior has red skin, and you can't tell it when he blushes.
Karl led the support squadron to enter the wasteland first and headed towards the western wasteland along the route marked by Suldak.
Andrew accompanied him, while Samira stayed in Wall Village to wait for Captain Sauron's first brigade.
…
Unexpectedly, the rebels had such a strong awareness of danger, and the reconnaissance team has been searching for his whereabouts in Death Ridge.
All the rebels were dispatched after dawn. They rushed to the oat fields at the foot of the mountain, wielding their sickles, and snatched back all the half-ripe wheat ears in the oat fields.
The group of refugees were hiding in a broken house. The old people, children and women watched with despair as the rebels harvested the unripe oats. No one dared to stand up and stop them. It had already been agreed that the oats would be harvested when they were ripe.
They will also be given some food rations, enough to sustain them until they can walk back to Hellanza City, but now it seems that these crazy rebels have no intention of following the previous agreement.
They can only hope that when these rebels are cutting wheat, more ears of wheat will fall in the fields. After they leave, they can pick up the scattered ears of wheat that fell in the wheat fields so that everyone can pass through this desolate land.
The Western Wasteland.
The old people sat in thatched huts, watching the oats fall one after another, and slowly closed their eyes.
The next evening, dark red clouds filled the sky.
The wheat fields have all been harvested by the rebels, but the wheat ears are a little green, and they are still not completely dry after being exposed to the sun for a whole day. The wheat ears are stuck on the falling slate, and it is difficult for the oats to escape from the wheat ears, which makes Ka
Squadron Leader Vendish's evacuation plan was delayed for another day.
Unable to wait for the oats to dry completely, the rebels could only cut the oats from the straw and put them hastily into linen bags.
More than 150 horses were standing in the dilapidated village waiting at the foot of the mountain. These war horses chewed the green oats silently, each one with a bulging belly.
The grooms responsible for managing the horses began to tell the rebel soldiers everywhere not to feed the horses too much. Otherwise, once they drink the water, the oats will swell in the stomach and easily burst the belly of the war horse. Moreover, a full war horse will not be able to feed the horse at all.
Can't run.
Some rebel knights don't think this is a big problem. They are about to leave Death Hill. There is a desolate land outside. If the war horses want to have a full meal, they probably have to at least enter the Pagros Mountains to get one more bite.
, you will be less hungry.
The rebel scout team continued to investigate the surrounding situation, but could not find the construct knight that day. The refugee woman who reported the message was found by Cavendish. After repeated questioning, he finally confirmed that the refugee woman was not there.
I'm lying. It's just that the refugee woman was almost driven crazy by the endless questions, her eyes were a little distracted, and she just kept leaning against the corner and giggling.
Finally, I put the last handful of wheat ears into my pocket.
Cavendish waved his hand, and the rebel army prepared to leave Death Ridge.
The morning sun reveals a thin line on the eastern slope, and the foot of the Death Ridge is exposed to the sun.
The leading troops of the rebel army have walked out of the ruined village, and the subsequent rebel armies are also mounting their horses one after another. The refugees are staring at these rebels, waiting for them all to evacuate, then rush into the oat fields to pick up the remaining wheat ears.
.
Standing on the mountain ridge, Surdak had already seen the flag of the rescue squadron in the distance, but the rebels here were also evacuating from the dilapidated village. According to the speed of the rebels, they could just catch up before the rescue squadron arrived.
Everyone evacuated from the foothills of Death Ridge.
This was the scene that Surdak didn't want to see the most. On top of the mountain, he took out a magic flare from his arms, pulled out the fuse and launched the magic flare into the air.
A red firework exploded in the air, and the sound of the explosion was like a copper hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
Whether it was Captain Cavendish or Captain Carl Casement of the rebel army, they were all shocked when they saw the red magic flare exploding in the air.
Karl, who was riding on his war horse, looked at the gray mountains nearby. Without hesitation, Karl shouted to all the knights of the guard battalion in the support squadron: "Raise your gun and move forward!"
He was not even prepared to send out scouts to investigate the situation ahead, just because Surdak was on the mountain ridge ahead.
At the same moment, Captain Cavendish pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted to all the rebels: "Everyone, mount up, let's withdraw!"
At this time, the scouts on the mountain who were investigating the enemy's situation also sent a warning that they had discovered the knights in the guard camp.
There were chaotic sounds of horse hooves in the distance, and the rebel cavalry mounted their horses one after another and chased the cavalry at the front.
Surdak was riding an ancient Bolai horse on the hillside, watching a group of rebels passing by in the wind below the hillside. He pulled out the blood-red crescent and held the 'Moses Blessing Shield' in his other hand, heading towards the front.
The rebels rushed forward.
Finally a guard camp of knights appeared on the horizon.
They rushed up from the side and charged towards the rebels. At the front was the indigenous warrior Andrew.
Seeing that the knights of the guard battalion were already charging, Captain Cavendish closed his eyes and knew that the best opportunity to evacuate had been missed. He quickly waved to Buddy, who was already eager to try.
Buddy quickly led some of his men, picked up the knight's spear from the saddle, formed a formation to face the knights of the guard battalion of the supporting squadron, and launched a countercharge.
Surdak rushed to the front of the rebel army alone and blocked the rebels' way...
