At noon the next day, Hangis, who had encountered many obstacles in Dodan Town, said goodbye to several magicians.
He followed everyone to Dodan Town, mainly to win the favor of the female magician Galena. Unfortunately, Galena treated him aloofly along the way and occasionally chatted ambiguously.
But most of the time, female magicians prefer to act together with everyone.
Even though Hangis made it clear that if Galena was willing to accept his relationship, he could go to his mentor to discuss transferring Galena to the Bena Magic Guild, but it was a pity that Galena was not interested in this.
It was three days after Lance and others came to the military camp again. Merit points were being exchanged at the military camp.
The scene at the entrance of the military camp's material warehouse was very lively.
Due to the canyon hunting a few days ago, the soldiers in the cavalry battalion almost equally shared the achievements of the ghost-patterned soldier ants hunted according to the number of people. The total number of ghost-patterned soldier ants hunted reached more than 7,000. Evenly distributed, each of them
The cavalry received more than 460 merit points.
Many cavalry captains in the military camp have merit points of more than 5,000, and they already have the conditions to redeem magic weapons.
Since the cheapest single-product magic pattern structure costs more than 20,000 merit points, many cavalrymen gave up the competition for magic pattern structures at the beginning and turned around to set their sights on these magic weapons.
The cavalry battalion prepared fifty epee-type weapons this time, and they were all selected by the cavalry almost in the morning.
It has to be said that these magic weapons produced by Malacom are almost all of the same quality. The cavalry choose the attributes of the weapons according to their own preferences.
Occasionally, some cavalrymen choose to exchange some magic scrolls, but many cavalrymen are reluctant to use such expensive consumable items. The main reason is that magic scrolls are too expensive. Some cavalrymen buy them for self-defense.
This time the archers did not participate in this round of exchange, mainly because there were no magic weapons such as bows and crossbows.
The heavy armored infantry were unable to exchange for these magic weapons because their accumulated merit points were not enough for the time being.
Some archer squad captains and heavy armored infantry squad captains approached Samira and Gallatin privately and made requests to Surdak, hoping that he could prepare more such magical weapons.
Surdak did not expect that so many warriors would be willing to exchange for magic weapons, but magic crystals and gold coins were ignored.
After privately consulting with several captain-level warriors, cavalry, and archers, I finally understood what these warriors were thinking.
Now the beast tide is obviously not over yet. Everyone has earned so many merit points. Although they know that fifty gold coins is also a big fortune, everyone is more willing to exchange the merit points into weapons and have excellent magic weapons.
, you can hunt more ghost-marked red ants on the battlefield, and it is also a kind of protection for yourself.
Even if you leave the military camp after completing your military service in the future, you won't lose too much money whether you leave such a magic weapon to your family or sell it again.
Therefore, many warriors believe that exchanging magic weapons now is definitely a profitable investment.
The prerequisite is that the battle to eradicate the ant colonies will continue...
…
‘Of course we have to continue, at least to complete the deal with merchant Malacom!’ This was what Suldak thought in his heart.
This time, the colony of ghost-patterned ants in the canyon was successfully cleaned up. Surdak gained a lot. He harvested more than 7,000 magic cores alone. The hard armor of the ghost-patterned soldier ants was removed from some seriously damaged ones, and the harvest was almost the same.
5,000 copies.
However, Surdak still needs to pay part of the expenses. He needs to pay two hundred gold coins to the Dodan Town Lumber Camp.
In addition, more than 2,000 aborigines were employed in Duodan Town to dig pits in the canyon day and night and build wooden walls with logs.
The whole project lasted three days, and the salary of the indigenous people employed was three silver coins per day, for a total of nine silver coins in three days.
More than two thousand aborigines also asked Suldak to take out two hundred gold coins.
In addition to these costs, the largest expenditure is the achievements of the soldiers. These achievements are converted into gold coins, and the number of gold coins required to pay the soldiers is approximately 3,600.
For Suldak, the process of redeeming these achievements is like constantly taking out gold coins.
Of course, the speed at which he has accumulated wealth in recent times has also reached an incredible level.
It is often said that war is the most profitable industry, one step further to heaven and one step back to hell. The winner can gain unimaginable huge wealth, but the loser is also likely to lose everything...even his own life.
Surdak was able to extract at least 3,500 magic crystals from these more than 7,000 magic cores, and the rest were a large number of magic crystal fragments.
Although the magic crystal fragments are not very valuable, they are still compared to the magic crystal.
A standard-sized magic crystal can be divided into ten magic crystal fragments. However, the current price of magic crystal fragments on the magic market usually fluctuates between thirty silver coins and fifty silver coins. The price of ten magic crystal fragments is
The total price is about four gold coins.
A piece of magic crystal can be exchanged for seven gold coins in the magic market.
This is the exchange rate after the magic crystal continues to depreciate.
Before the plane war broke out, one magic crystal could be exchanged for ten gold coins.
There are three No. 4 magic sealing boxes placed side by side on a wooden table in the logistics warehouse. The lids of the magic sealing boxes are all open. The boxes are filled with round magic crystals as big as lychees. Magic crystals of this type are placed side by side.
The number of magic crystals in a box is about one thousand.
The three magic-sealing boxes meant that Surdak's profit from decomposing magic crystals alone in this battle reached 3,000.
Selena has taken out the part of the magic crystal that needs to be spent separately and stored it in a wooden box.
In addition, there are two leather pockets under her feet, which are filled with magic crystal fragments. It is conservatively estimated that the value of these magic crystal fragments is about 700 magic crystal stones.
In the pits outside the military camp, there are still seven pits of soldier ant hard skin soaked in. Suldak feels that once these hard skins enter the leather market in Bena Province, the price of hard skins will rise.
It will definitely fall sharply.
Unexpectedly, the outbreak of the beast tide allowed him to quickly accumulate a fortune.
Guards were guarding the door, and the warehouse seemed very quiet. The fifty magic weapons on the weapon racks had been emptied, leaving only a few large wooden boxes indicating the existence of the magic pattern structure at the very back of the warehouse.
But in fact, these wooden boxes are just ordinary heavy armors. The real primary power magic pattern structure and the three single-piece magic pattern breastplates are all stored in the lava mine of Pussy Mountain. Over there is Sur.
The place where Dak stores important supplies.
Suldak said hesitantly: "I didn't expect that the eradication of ghost-marked red ants would be so fruitful this time. Should I increase the merit value of hunting each ghost-marked red ant..."
"Boss, the merit points you have given to the cavalry are a bit beyond the standard." Andrew said bluntly: "At least I have never seen any warrior in Wozhimala City perform like this in a battle.
Big harvest, the money gained from one battle is almost enough to feed him for a year."
Selina also said beside her: "Although you don't care about this, after all, we are a cavalry battalion affiliated with the Luther Army. If the benefits in the cavalry battalion are too outrageous, it will probably affect other battalion commanders."
Suldak thought for a moment, nodded, and made a decision:
"As for the merit value, let's keep it unchanged for the time being."
Then he added: "There are almost no ghost-striped red ants in the Duodan Canyon. Our next move will be to go out of the Duodan Canyon and go to the hills and mountains. Our main hunting targets this time are the guards.
There are ghost-striped male ants in there, and when hunting, you must be careful to avoid injuring the abdomen of the ghost-striped male ants. This... Andrew, you have to pay special attention."
Andrew, who was promoted to a second-level warrior, is still as honest and honest as ever.
He scratched his bald head and replied honestly: "I know, boss."
Samira put down the file in her hand, inserted the polished arrow into the quiver, raised her head and said to Suldak: "Actually, we can recruit some more archers, buy a few more Thunder Rhinoceros and form a bow.
Riding camp.”
Surdak rubbed his forehead in distress and said: "You can discuss the purchase of Thunder Rhinoceros with Malacom, but the archers may need to be retrained."
Samira immediately denied: "It's not feasible to recruit all newbies."
She felt that depending on her own strength, she would not be able to earn back the money she spent on the epic bow in the short term, so she became proactive and considered whether to form a bow cavalry battalion.
"How about... I try to persuade those two hundred archers to stay?" she suggested.
With a half-elf with such a cold personality, it is not easy for him to say this.
Surdak shook his head at this time and said:
"I plan to form an archer battalion of my own. What do you think...if we send some emergency supplies to the natives hiding in the Thorny Mountains to help them tide over the current difficulties, will they be willing to let the tribal members
Young people join us?”
"Maybe."
Samira curled her lips, obviously not satisfied with the Bailin natives becoming her subordinates.
…
Outside the camp, the cavalrymen sat together.
Everyone's topic is basically about who will get that set of primary power magic patterns.
Among the three most powerful competitors in the military camp, the strongest is Captain Adams, and his current merit score ranks first among the three, having already exceeded the 40,000 mark.
Secondly, there is a squadron leader in the archer brigade who is good at controlling bed crossbows. With his excellent archery skills, he used bed crossbows to hunt more than 700 ghost-patterned soldier ants in several city defense battles, and there were also four giant ants.
Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant, such an outstanding record puts him firmly behind Captain Adams.
The third person is a squadron leader in the reinforcement cavalry squadron. Because the merit points he accumulated are not eligible to be exchanged for magic patterns, but he performs extremely well almost every time, so he has accumulated more than 30,000 merit points.
However, these three people are currently far away from 100,000 merit points.
At present, they are still facing a very real problem, that is, many people will accumulate merit points of 30,000 in the future, so some of these people will be interested in those single-item magic pattern structures.
, if they continue to insist on accumulating merit points to 100,000, they may miss out on these three single-item magic pattern structures, and they may not be able to earn the set of primary power magic pattern structures by then.
How to choose is also a big test for them.
Once you fail to exchange for the primary power magic pattern structure, you may even miss the component magic pattern structure. At that time, you may only be able to exchange for a pocket of magic crystals.
…
Five young magicians walked into the camp, which still attracted the attention of many soldiers.
The magic robes they wore were simply too conspicuous. Although they were of different colors, the dark patterns on the magic robes not only demonstrated their status as magical nobles, but also gave them a layer of mystery.
After asking the guard at the door and finding out that Suldak was at the logistics warehouse, Lance came over directly.
I happened to see Suldak taking Andrew and Samira out of the warehouse.
"You are here just in time. We are going to lead the cavalry battalion into the hills and mountains tomorrow morning to try to find the ghost-striped ant queen and eliminate the ant colonies there. Do you want to join us?" Seeing Lance, Surdak said directly.
Asked. "This operation may be a little dangerous!"
"Of course, aren't we here just to hunt the ghost-striped ant queen?" Lance put his hand on Suldak's shoulder and said.
"Well, you need to be prepared today. We will set off tomorrow morning when the fog clears." Surdak said casually to the magicians.
In fact, there are no decent ghost-striped red ants in the canyon anymore.
In the past few days, many mercenary groups have been operating around the mouth of the Duodan Canyon. They have also successfully attracted some ghost-striped red ants. Of course, some ghost-striped red ants have been lured back to Duodan Canyon, but a large number of ghost-striped red ants have been attracted by them.
Ants are reluctant to come near this place.
Seeing that the day when the businessman Malacom would deliver the Thunder Rhinoceros was getting closer and closer, Surdak felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer and he had to hunt the ghost-marked male ants as soon as possible.
…
Early morning of May 8th
Eight hundred cavalrymen and two armed thunder rhinoceros from the Duodan Town garrison cavalry battalion once again passed through the Duodan Canyon and headed towards the hilly and mountainous area at the north exit of the canyon.
Two armed Thunder Rhinoceros marched hand in hand in the canyon. Samira, wearing a fiery red leather armor, stood on the crossbow control platform on the platform, with her broken hair flying in the north wind.
The five magicians were sitting in the wooden house of the other Thunder Rhino. The two female magicians were curiously looking at the two-headed ogre in the cavalry team along the way.
Andrew, who was dressed like a tin can, was still at the front of the team.
So far, Surdak has implanted magic patterns on one hundred and sixty war horses. Except for the sixteen strengthened horses that were bitten by ghost-marked soldier ants in the Battle of Plantos Town, the rest
One hundred and forty-four horses participated in this expedition.
Through the frequent battles in the recent period, even if the veterans in the cavalry battalion have not yet realized the 'power', many of them have reached the peak of level nine.
Moreover, the hidden wounds left by some veterans on the battlefield were slowly healed by the treatment and recovery of the Holy Light Technique and the 'Blessed Body'.
Now the veterans in this cavalry battalion are a group of well-trained and experienced cavalrymen.
