The ant colony retreated to the middle section of Dodan Canyon, nearly five kilometers away from the northern city wall.
The guards on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least during the day, they could lean against the warm wall stacks and close their eyes to rest.
While the city defense guards were cleaning the battlefield, they were transporting military supplies from the warehouse to the city wall, including arrows, kerosene, rolling stones, etc.
Except for the city guards on duty on the city wall, everyone else walked down the city wall to rest.
At the entrance of the small building where the military camp is located, Adams and Gallatin pushed open the wooden door and walked into the living room of the small building. They found that the room was full of people. Without exception, these knights were all officers of the cavalry battalion of Baron Suldak.
Everyone, including several squadron leaders, were present.
Andrew, Samira, Gulitem, Selina and a woman in black robe with a mithril mask on her face stood behind Surdak. Surdak was wearing casual clothes and looked up at the wall.
The map of Duodan Canyon is telling you the approximate distribution of ant colonies in detail.
Andrew, Samira, and Gulitem, as followers of Surdak, have firm and fiery eyes.
Having experienced more than a dozen battles on the city wall these days, Adams and Gallatin were already very familiar with them, and they also knew the fighting styles of these three people very well.
When Adams met Aphrodite for the first time, he saw a mithril mask on her face and a black robe, and guessed that she might be a mage.
Selena actually stood beside her, which surprised Adams slightly...
As the person in charge of managing logistics supplies at the military camp, Adams was no stranger to her, and his first impression was that she was a beautiful and shrewd woman.
Regarding Selina, Adams also heard some rumors in the military camp. He heard that this was the lover of Commander Surdak. In addition to being in charge of logistics supplies for Surdak, she was also a very mysterious person.
Black magician.
There are a large number of black magicians in many places in the Green Empire, and even necromancers and wizards live in some places. Although the Magic Union regards these people as heretics, the Magic Union has even set up a law enforcement group to investigate and eliminate them.
These magical heretics.
But in fact, as long as these people haven't done anything outrageous and are hiding in the territories of noble lords, the magic union's law enforcement team will have no way of investigating them.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Green Empire, so Adams didn't pay much attention to it.
Now these people are all gathered together...
Adams and Gallatin looked at each other, suppressing the doubts in their hearts.
Some things are not so clear, which is a good thing for them.
Adams just didn't expect that Baron Suldak's last trump card was actually two women. Judging from their delicate bodies, they obviously had some attainments in magic.
The six squadron leaders in the cavalry battalion stood on one side of the room wall, staring at the map silently.
Everyone's expression was serious, and it was obvious that Suldak was introducing them to the situation in the canyon.
Seeing Adams and Gallatin walking in, Suldak quickly motioned for them to come closer.
He held a riding crop in his hand and said to the two of them: "You came just in time, and the next part happens to be yours. I'll try to keep it simple."
"We have a plan to sneak attack on the rear of the ant colony. This time we are going to sneak into the middle of the canyon to kill their queen ants and take some initiative in the war of beast tides in the Dodan Canyon." Pointing to the long and narrow Dodan on the map.
Canyon, Surdak said while standing by the wall.
Adams thought he heard wrongly and didn't pay much attention at first. It took him five seconds to react and asked Suldak: "Commander, do you want to organize people to go to the back of the ant colony to assassinate the queen?"
"That's almost it, but this time the personnel have been decided, you stay in Dodan Town!" Surdak said to the two of them: "You two need to continue to hold on to the city wall until we come back. During this period, you must
Stay on the city wall, because I don’t have anyone left to replace you.”
Adams opened his mouth, but no words came out.
His eyes fell on the map filled with thin lines on the wall. He did not expect that Surdak would have such a bold plan and actually wanted to lead a group of people to assassinate the ant queen.
"Sir Commander, in fact, we have been guarding the city wall all the time. We are consuming their troops like this. If we hold on for a while, they will naturally disperse. It is too risky for you to do this." Adams felt that since the north wall could block the ants,
There is really no need to venture out of the city.
Suldak shook his head firmly. The map that Marquis Luther gave him originally included the large area of Invercargill Forest, the two mines there, and the rich ironwood resources in the forest. These were all
He needs to at least control the Warcraft Forest around Dodan Canyon.
Now that the ant colony has almost taken over the entire Invercargill Forest, Suldak wants to at least take back that piece of land from them.
Suldak used his riding crop to draw a large circle on the vast grassland in the southern part of Dodan Town, and said to Adams:
"I don't want my army to be restrained in this canyon by this group of red ants. The news came from the logistics supply group yesterday that some ghost-striped red ants have climbed over the Thorny Mountains and sneaked into the place behind us.
Although we don’t know where they got in from now, in the coming time, we may have to search the grassland behind us on a large scale to clean up the ghost-striped red ants in the occupied area..."
Adams wanted to say that every small town in the northern area of Wilkes City had Luther Legion troops stationed there. These ghost-marked red ants that leaked in could not gather into a group and would soon be hunted down by the adventure group.
Suldak walked up to Adams, reached out and patted Adams on the shoulder and said:
"I will leave you a large number of fire scale bombs and explosives. Is there any problem?"
Seeing Suldak's resolute attitude, Adams immediately gave Suldak a military salute and said firmly: "I will go all out."
"very good……"
…
Adams and Gallatin walked out of the small building and ran non-stop to the city defense brigade's supply warehouse to arrange for tonight's defense supplies.
By this time, the sun had already set behind the mountains of the Thorny Mountains.
Although the sky has not yet darkened safely, the ant colonies hiding in the Duodan Canyon have begun to move again.
A squadron leader knocked on the door and came in, reporting to Suldak: "Sir Commander, all the first-level soldiers of the cavalry battalion are here..."
Surdak nodded and walked out of the small building first. These veterans in the cavalry camp were all his direct descendants who followed him from the deserted land.
He stood on the steps of the small building, holding one hand on the railing, and said loudly to the cavalry in front of him: "Everyone follow me out this time. I don't know how many people will come back alive. I don't have many benefits for going."
Say, the rewards at the top of the Merit Exchange List will no longer be a luxury for you. Is anyone willing to fight with me?"
The cavalrymen stood in front of the small building, looking at each other.
No one spoke, and the scene became very quiet.
Andrew stared at the veterans in front of him and couldn't help but want to yell, 'You eggless cowards should hide in the mountains in the desert and eat dirt...'
Before he could speak, the squad leader named Hudson in the cavalry battalion raised his hand and asked weakly: "Commander, if I die, can I keep the merit points I saved?"
Exchange it for gold coins for my family?”
Surdak said to him seriously: "Of course, the Warcraft materials we harvested here should have arrived in Wall Village, and the achievements of every warrior will be fulfilled! I remember you, you exchanged a piece of Warcraft for your leg injury.
Pattern."
"Yes, Commander!" Hudson shouted loudly: "Then I am willing to join..."
"I'd like to join too!"
"And I!"
Almost all the veterans in the cavalry battalion stood up. This time, Surdak selected the veterans who had been implanted with magic pattern breeding equipment, because their combat effectiveness was obviously higher than others.
Surdak, together with eight squadron leaders, selected a total of twenty cavalry to join the assassination plan.
Other cavalrymen also took turns to guard the northern city wall.
Next, Surdak sacrificed 630 heads of ghost-patterned soldier ants, allowing all members of the assassination team to possess the 'Blessed Body', 'Blessed Shield', 'Overlord Body' and 'Sacred Shield'.
For the blessing of the seed god, the first two elementary blessings only consumed thirty elementary sacrifices, and the latter high-level blessing almost swallowed up all of Surdak's inventory in recent days.
Samira, Aphrodite, Andrew and others gained additional ‘insight’.
The sacrificial ceremony continued until dusk when a group of people walked out of the small building. Only then did Suldak feel that it was really necessary to build an altar in the military camp.
…
Samira stood on the control platform of a bed crossbow on the west side of the north city wall. There was a giant crossbow arrow with a rope tied to its tail in the bed crossbow arrow slot.
The half-elf archer aimed at a raised rock at the bottom of the mountain wall two hundred meters away, and shot the crossbow with a rope. The crossbow arrow with the long rope was firmly nailed to the raised rock.
The rope was gradually tightened, and Samira took the lead in taking out a hook and hanging it on the rope. She stepped on the wall and jumped, and her dexterous body slid down the rope.
In the dusk, only a faint figure can be seen crossing the shadow of the mountain wall.
Sliding in front of the boulder, Samira jumped up, like an agile female leopard leaping into the grass. After a few steps, she stood on the boulder and made all normal gestures to Surdak.
.
Surdak stood at the head of the city. Although the ant colonies in the middle of the canyon had gathered under the northern city wall, the soldier ants at the front were still at least one kilometer away.
A group of veterans of the cavalry battalion, under the extremely respectful eyes of the city defenders, slid down from the top of the city one by one, skillfully occupied the favorable terrain beside the boulders, and hid their bodies in the grass.
The setting sun has completely set, and the surrounding light has quickly dimmed.
Selena lay on Suldak's back, holding her arms tightly around his neck, feeling the excitement of the zipline descent, the whistling of the wind in her ears, and the excitement caused a sensation in her body.
There was an inexplicable numbness.
Smelling the familiar scent of Suldak made Selena's fair face flush.
Surdak landed firmly on the grass.
Selena jumped off Suldak's back. She squatted in the grass next to Suldak, trying to calm down the surging emotions in her body. She was a little ashamed. She didn't expect that when she was nervous, she would
will become so excited.
Aphrodite followed Surdak and landed steadily on the grass.
…
Samira with 'clairvoyance' can see in the dark.
She walked in front, quietly shot a ghost-striped soldier ant that was wandering around, and led the team successfully into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain not far away.
At this time, a large number of ant colonies had gathered under the north city wall, and many ghost-striped worker ants had penetrated into the woods.
Selena knelt on the forest clearing. She clasped her hands and prayed in a low voice. The magic pattern array under her feet was actually black. As the prayer she recited ended, a beam of darkness enveloped Selena's body.
, a powerful dark element poured into Selena's body.
When she opened her eyes, they became extremely dark.
She stood up slowly, stretched out her hands, and stared at the back of her hands, as if feeling her body.
Her eyes became extremely cold and emotionless...
Looking at the surrounding trees, when his eyes fell on Surdak, there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes. Then he closed his eyes again, lowered his head, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the shadow of the patio and the goddess of darkness appeared again.
Appear behind Selena.
The dark tide surged out from all around, like a thick black mist surrounding the team.
Samira and Aphrodite were at the front of the team, Suldak and Selina were in the middle, and Andrew and Gulitem were at the back of the team. There were a total of twenty-six people in this team.
Almost every cavalryman wears thick heavy armor.
The group of people walked forward for a while, and encountered pairs of ghost-striped worker ants running into the mist along the way. Even if they took a detour, they would avoid the group.
These ghost-striped red ants crawl forward on the ground. Their bodies are dark red and very inconspicuous in the dark, and their abdomens are bulging like ticks.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, the northern city wall in Duodan Canyon almost disappeared from sight, and the number of ghost-striped red ants gradually decreased.
…
Hidden in the darkness, Samira carefully searches for the ghost-striped ant queen in the canyon.
There was a rumbling sound in the distance. Samira retreated into the black mist alertly, ran to Surdak, pointed to the direction of the rumbling sound, and said to Surdak: "They are over there.
From now on, I will be surrounded by ghost-striped male ants, and I won’t be able to see a few of them..."
"I can feel one!" Aphrodite, standing next to Samira, said. "They seem to have discovered something and are coming towards us."
Surdak did not expect to encounter a queen ant so soon, and immediately led the team towards the dead forest on the right side of the canyon.
In the desolate and scorched land, a path continues towards the dead woods...
