Surdak, Intas, and Hampton, the three commanders, stationed troops on the city wall at the pass of Plantos Town to resist the ghost-striped red ants pouring out from the mountain road to the north.
On the afternoon of the second day after the town of Plantos was captured.
The heavy armored infantry regiments and baggage regiments that were subsequently reinforced by the Luther Legion arrived in Plantos Town one after another, accompanied by the armed guards of the local lords of Wilkes City.
When these large groups of people arrived, Suldak was cooperating with the great swordsman Chester to eliminate the last ant colony.
At that time, three thousand cavalrymen surrounded the group of red ants, and two thunder rhinos carried four crossbows on the outside of the ant colony.
Samira stood on the platform and controlled the bed crossbow to aim at the ghost-striped queen ant surrounded by male ants in the center of the ant colony.
This battle has already been won, the only thing worth looking forward to is when it will end.
The Great Swordsman Chester finally saw the power of Surdak's two thunder rhinoceros. Under the fierce fire of four bed crossbows, the group of red ants had no choice but to break out at the last moment.
The cavalrymen were certainly not afraid of the ants scattering on the vast grassland.
After the cavalry team dispersed the soldier ants, they began the final work of closing the net. Almost all the ghost-marked soldier ants were hunted and killed, and the queen ant did not escape the fate of being penetrated by a giant crossbow arrow.
According to Commander Intas, the ability of the queen ant is mental control and illusion, which can control the ant colony. Once you get too close to the queen, it is easy to be pulled into the illusion by it.
Even a strong man like Chester Great Swordsman could not break the illusion created by the Queen Ant.
At this time, the power of the bed crossbow, which was at the outermost edge of the battlefield, became prominent.
Under Samira's control, the queen ant was quickly shot and killed.
At this moment, the town of Plantos has long been turned into a dead town. The only good news is that it has blocked the opening for the ant tide to invade south.
In addition to the subsequent garrison issues in Plantos Town, what worries Suldak the most is the underground cave in the town. The queen ant that has completed mating has hidden deep in the cave. It is difficult to say when she will lead the ant colony.
Comeback.
After the follow-up troops arrived one after another, the Chester Great Swordsmen needed to continue to garrison in Plantos Town, and the other cavalry battalions rushed back to their respective stations.
Surdak led seven hundred cavalrymen loaded with loot and returned to Dodan Town with two Thunder Rhinoceros.
This campaign in Plantos Town lasted for a week. After the cavalry team returned, when they passed through the neighborhoods of Dodan Town, the residents of the town lined the streets to welcome them. Surdak seemed to see Nika in the crowd.
figure.
When I returned to the town, I discovered that the expansion of the military camp had been completed and the wooden houses in the military camp had been built. Craftsmen were currently leveling the yard and an independent shooting range would be built at the military camp.
Adams is still stationed on the north wall and cannot escape yet.
The two-headed ogre Gulitum was sleeping soundly in the tent of the camp. If he hadn't heard the heavy footsteps of the Thunder Rhinoceros, he probably wouldn't have woken up.
When he found out that it was Surdak's cavalry battalion returning to the camp, Gulitem ran out of the military camp with bare feet. From a distance, Surdak heard him shouting loudly: "Suldak, come back."
La..."
"I said you should put on your shoes. It's not too late to run over here. You should also pay attention to your words and deeds. Only when we return to the tribe can we find a wife!" The other head on the shoulder chattered to Gulitem all the way.
Nagging.
Gulitem smiled naively, not caring that his good brother was preaching beside him. He ran to Suldak and stretched out his hands to hold Suldak's shoulders.
On the other hand, his good brother Naohuaer stared at Andrew with a pair of icy eyes and a strange expression.
Then he whispered in Gulitem's ear: "That person seems to have been promoted to the second rank. Hey, do you feel it? Such a strong aura..."
Gulitem looked back at Andrew. Andrew jumped off his horse and strode up to the ogre. The two of them punched each other hard. Gulitem looked at his fist in surprise and said to him happily.
Andrew said: "You have really become stronger!"
"I'm really lucky this time!" Andrew laughed.
…
Surdak returned to the military camp in Dodan Town. The first thing he did when he returned to the small building was to count the loot.
This time I went to Plantos Town. Generally speaking, I won several battles in a row. However, I brought back not many trophies. There were only a few bags of magic cores and seventeen pieces ripped from the legs of giant ghost-patterned soldier ants.
The magic pattern of life.
Since the pit for acid rot has never been built there, not a single piece of soldier ant leather was brought back.
And the heads of those ghost-striped soldier ants were almost used on the spot, leaving almost nothing left.
On the contrary, the magic core has collected more than 1,200 magic cores, which can produce at least 600 magic crystals.
There are also a lot of magic crystal fragments, but those things are not very valuable.
The life magic patterns of the seventeen giant ghost-patterned soldier ants are also a large amount of income. It is estimated that Surdak also earned some military honors from the Chester Great Swordsman.
Many of the magic cores were stained with dirty blood, and all the pockets had a faint odor, which made Surdak lose interest in counting.
Suldak was about to climb up the northern city wall for a tour when he heard the guard at the door running in and reporting: "Commander, the owner of the Thunder Rhinoceros Merchant Group, Malacom, wants to see you!"
"Invite him in!" Surdak said immediately.
After saying that, he went to the kitchen to boil water. He couldn't have guests coming and he couldn't even drink a glass of water.
…
The merchant Malacom was brought to the front of the small building of the garrison camp by the guard at the door. The guard opened the door and asked Malacom to enter, and then returned to the entrance of the military camp to continue standing guard.
When the businessman walked into the living room of the small building, he saw a few smelly linen bags piled on the coffee table. One opened the bag and revealed several walnut-sized magic cores. Judging from the color of the skin, it looked like Malacom.
I know that these magic cores were taken from the ghost-striped soldier ants. They still have the unique sour smell of the ghost-striped red ants, and they are in good quality.
He stood in the living room and waited for a short while before he saw Suldak coming out of the kitchen carrying a tea tray.
"Baron Suldak, good afternoon!" Malacom greeted.
Surdak waved his hand and asked the boss of the Thunder Rhinoceros Merchant Group to sit down before asking him: "Malakom Merchant, you are coming back from Wilkes so soon. Those magic weapons and a single piece of magic pattern structure are all ready."
Is it done?"
"Yes, when I made the list, they were basically all ready-made items selected from various trading houses. Not all of the many types of magic weapons and single-piece magic pattern structures are in my warehouse." Ma.
Lacombe sat down and said with a smile. "I heard that your trip to Plantos Town went well?"
"For the town of Plantos, it may be considered a moderate disaster, but fortunately the pass was recaptured by us again!"
Surdak said while pouring tea for Malacom.
Then he asked the Malacom merchant: "Is it convenient for me to see the goods you brought?"
