Water vapor is steaming from the grassland, making the scenery in the distance become curved, and some weeds with seed ears sway back and forth in the breeze.
A group of grasshoppers flew out of the grass and flew into the distance.
Compared with foods such as grass seeds and roots, these locusts are simply incomparably delicious in the eyes of ghost-striped soldier ants.
There are traces of red everywhere in the grass. The two hill-like Thunder Rhinoceros in Surdak's army are very eye-catching, and they also attract the peeping glances of many ghost-striped red ants. However, they basically have no chance to get close, and are captured.
A whirlwind of cavalry smashed the skull with its flail.
These ghost-striped soldier ants are like a pack of hungry wolves. When they see the cavalry charging towards them, they lie down in the grass and spit acid at the horses.
At the same time, he opened his sharp pliers and rushed forward desperately, jumping on the horse and biting it wantonly.
Andrew led a group of heavy cavalry at the outermost edge of the team. Even the horses were fully armed. The flails in the hands of the cavalry were used to crush the heads of red ants immediately to prevent them from spitting acid everywhere.
The fifty first-level veterans were like tireless machines, constantly rushing back and forth to kill outside the army.
They did not spare their physical strength and did not care about the life or death of the war horses. When cleaning up these red ants, some people even stood on the platform of Thunder Rhinoceros and took out parchment account books to count the number of ghost-striped worker ants killed.
These ghost-striped worker ants can peel off some meat, but their bodies are almost worthless.
In order to encourage the veterans to clean up the worker ants, Surdak can earn a little merit for every ghost-striped worker ant he kills. Almost all of these merit points are subsidized by Surdak from the soldier ants.
The veterans all hope that they can hunt down the ghost-striped soldier ants. They think that killing worker ants is a job for ordinary cavalry.
Of course, ghost-patterned soldier ants are not that easy to kill.
Even in the wild, on this grassland terrain that is most beneficial to the cavalry.
If these first-level veterans want to kill soldier ants, the most labor-saving way without using "power" is to charge fifty meters away. These soldier ants are not very good at jumping. As long as the knight's spear can stab the ghost
The head of the tattooed soldier ant can basically severely damage this ghost-patterned soldier ant.
However, if the knight's spear misses the point, or is caught by the claws of the ghost-patterned soldier ants, the veteran behind him must hit the target in time, otherwise the veteran in front may be injured.
The heads of the ghost-patterned soldier ants were chopped off by veterans with knight's swords and thrown into sacks. Once full, they were thrown onto the shelves of Thunder Rhinoceros.
The corpses of the soldier ants that could still be exchanged for money were randomly discarded on the grass and could not be taken away at all.
Andrew was a madman as soon as he arrived on the battlefield. He was the first to rush towards the ghost-striped red ants every time. With the butcher's ax with bleeding properties in his hand, even if he encountered the ghost-striped soldier ants, he would almost kill them with one axe.
His fighting style, in which he would rather suffer some injuries than kill the enemy, seemed very bloody.
Usually after a wave of charges, he would be covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell how many of these light red blood stains were his own.
Jean Intas and Hampton were a little stunned. Only then did they see Suldak's strength clearly: this native subordinate relied solely on the commander's use of the 'Holy Light Technique' and the 'Holy Light Technique' he was wearing.
The Earth Shield's heavily armored magic pattern structure, with the war horse underneath it having more physical strength than the black scale horse, allows it to act recklessly on the battlefield!
It is his unreasonable fighting style that can ignite the morale of all cavalry on the battlefield.
Aren’t these heavy cavalry tired?
The performance of those war horses is too exaggerated!
Even a black-scaled war horse cannot run so tirelessly!
Under such circumstances, a group of cavalry advanced against a large number of ghost-striped red ants running out from the direction of Plantos Town.
Suldak, Gallatin, and Intas stood at the front of the team.
Occasionally there is a giant ghost-striped soldier ant in the ant colony.
Seeing such a big guy rushing up, both commanders Intas and Hampton were a little numb. The huge thick armor is simply the biggest nemesis of the cavalry, but these giant ghost-patterned soldier ants are not slow either.
, the body is also extremely flexible, and every time such a giant ghost-patterned soldier ant is killed, a cavalryman will be injured.
Intas whipped his horse's butt hard with his riding crop, stood out from the front group, and rushed towards the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant.
A group of close confidants and guards behind him were worried that Intas might make a mistake, so they hurriedly followed him on horseback.
Unexpectedly, the veterans of the Independent Cavalry Battalion almost became extremely excited, and their fighting mood was at an all-time high. They simply thought that Intas was trying to snatch the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant from them. More than ten veterans attacked the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant at the same time.
The ants charge.
Everyone mentioned the running speed of the war horses. It was obvious that in terms of explosive power, these magic-patterned war horses could completely overwhelm the ordinary war horses of other cavalry battalions.
Seeing that the veteran rushing at the front had already bowed his body, clamped the handle of the knight's spear tightly with his arm, and aimed the tip of the spear at the mouthparts of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant...
A giant crossbow arrow with the 'armor-piercing' attribute flew out, and there was a circle of wind attributes surrounding the arrow shaft, and it arrived first and last at lightning speed.
Before the cavalryman could take action, he accurately shot through the head of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ant.
The three-meter-long arrow shaft directly nailed the giant ghost-marked soldier ant into the soil of the grass. The body of the giant ghost-marked soldier ant couldn't stop the inertia and doubled in the air.
The cavalryman who rushed to the front and held a spear could only let out a roar of unwillingness, and pierced the spear in his hand into the body of the ordinary ghost-patterned soldier ant that followed behind.
He didn't dare to curse out loud, after all, occasionally on the battlefield, someone's life was saved by a stainless steel arrow.
But in my heart, MMP! The captain of the archer army has achieved great achievements recently, so he can buy himself a magic pattern structure!
After dealing with the group of ghost-patterned red ants that rushed up, a group of cavalry rushed to cut off the six legs of the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants, and then cut off the huge head, which was carried by a cavalry.
Bianpipian ran under the Thunder Rhinoceros to show his courtesy...
The captain, who was wearing red salamander leather armor, had one foot on the crossbow's arrow slot and looked at the battle situation in the distance.
Even though he was clearly showing off his cold and arrogant attitude, this cavalryman managed to put on a charming smile. He couldn't afford to offend him!
The city defense crossbowmen on the platform quickly used slings to retrieve the trophies and put them on Samira's exclusive shelves.
Without the two-headed ogre who liked to smash heads, the cavalry battalion finally had some order on the battlefield. However, the eagerness of these cavalrymen to kill the ghost-marked red ants still shocked the other two commanders.
, rode close to Surdak and asked curiously: "Baron Surdak, are these cavalry always in such a strong fighting mood? How do you usually encourage them?"
"Every time they fight, I have people record their achievements. These achievements can be exchanged for gold coins, some weapons and equipment, magic materials and so on. Isn't this what our cavalry battalions do?" Surdak walked while riding his horse.
said.
After getting around the corpse of the giant ghost-striped soldier ant, I couldn't skin it, so I had to dump it here for the time being. It was really a pity!
"Yes, it's all the same! We will also count merits. Whoever performs outstandingly during this period will have the opportunity to be promoted, win the battle, and receive some material rewards!" Commander Intas said.
Of course other cavalry battalions have similar military merit records, but they are just not as generous as the prizes on the Surdak Merit Exchange List...
As the team got closer and closer to Plantos Town, the ghost-striped red ants rushing towards them also changed from waves to a steady stream. Even the ghost-striped soldier ants scattered around began to move towards Surdak.
The cavalry team gathered together.
The battle became more intense.
A group of veterans in the Surdak Cavalry Battalion dismounted one after another, held up their tower shields, formed a shield wall around the team, and slowly moved forward...
The team's forward speed became slower and slower. The cavalry team led by Andrew charged through the ant colony and could not pick up the speed for a while.
