A group of people walked along the cavalry camp and headed towards the depths of the hills and mountains.
In the distance, sporadic ghost-marked red ants can be seen in the hills and mountains. Many mercenary groups came to the wild, mainly to hunt these lonely ghost-marked red ants.
Since the two mineral veins given to Suldak by Marquis Luther were both on the east side of Invercargill Forest, the cavalry battalion rushed out of the north exit of Dodan Canyon and also chose to rush northeast of the hills.
This time the cavalry battalion sent troops to the hilly and mountainous areas, both Andrew and Samira were holding their breath in their hearts.
Last time, the cavalry battalion was almost eaten by ghost-striped soldier ants.
Although Surdak launched an act of revenge against the ant colony afterwards and successfully killed the ghost-striped ant queen, the depression in their hearts was still not resolved.
So this time the cavalry battalion went very deep into the hilly and mountainous areas, just to chase a larger circle of ant colonies in the hilly and mountainous areas.
There were some huge thunder rhinoceros footprints scattered along the way, clearly guiding everyone in the right direction. Surdak didn't have to worry about going in the wrong direction, as long as he was wary of the ghost-striped red ants that were eyeing him in the distance.
During the journey, Surdak discovered that due to the delay in crossing the Thorny Mountains, most of the red ants in the ant colonies seemed a little restless.
The ghost-striped red ants also need a leader who can lead them out of the Thorny Mountains.
The ghost-striped ant queens that can survive in the hills and mountains to this day will not rush into the Dodan Canyon to die. If they want to bypass the Thorny Mountains, they can only take detours to the east and west sides.
Dodan Canyon is in the middle of the Thorny Mountains, and the ant colonies here have begun to decline significantly.
There are traces of battles everywhere on the hillside.
The green vegetation on the hilly land has almost been destroyed by the red ants, exposing patches of red soil, and these red ants eat almost everything.
Suldak rode a war horse and always accompanied Hathaway and Beatrice, chatting with them from time to time.
Clouds pile up on the horizon like undulating mountains, and from time to time there are some rocs circling back and forth in the sky.
Hathaway and Beatrice rode horses side by side. They had not left Bena City for a long time, and they were naturally yearning for the vast world outside.
Blue sky, white clouds, hills and mountains.
Looking further north is Invercargill Forest.
The group of people didn't walk too fast. Occasionally, some ghost-striped worker ants appeared, but they didn't even have time to get close, so they were shot and killed by the archers in the group.
Sharp arrows can easily penetrate the hard armor of worker ants.
Along the way, we almost never encountered ghost-patterned soldier ants.
Lily Cecil was riding a maroon ancient Bolan horse. Her leather armor had a very high girdle, which pushed almost all the excess meat on her abdomen to her chest.
Although this type of leather armor is very delicate, it is not very practical.
Lily rode up from behind and listened quietly to Suldak and Hathaway talking about the indigenous tribes in this area. She waited patiently for Suldak to finish talking about the topic before interjecting and asking Suldak.
: "Baron Surdak, I think...since you can give the magic pattern structure as a reward to the cavalry, why don't you wear one yourself?"
Suldak turned around, smiled politely at Lily and said, "Mrs. Cecil, because my body's carrying capacity is not enough to wear a set of primary magic pattern structures for the time being."
Lily was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you still a knight of one turn?"
"I am indeed a one-turn knight, but due to some injuries I suffered before, I still haven't been able to restore my carrying capacity to the original level." Surdak explained this way.
Lily spread her hands and said, "That's such a pity. I heard that the knight's strength will change qualitatively only after he puts on the magic pattern structure."
Suldak didn't say any more, but turned to Beatrice and said with a smile: "I didn't notice the beautiful scenery here the few times I came here."
Beatrice squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly. Her face was a bit round, so she looked full of flesh.
Pointing at a mercenary group not far away, he asked Suldak: "Where do those mercenary groups want to go?"
At this time, the team happened to pass a hilly mountain, and Surdak discovered that there were actually several mercenary groups in front of their team, also following the footsteps of the Thunder Rhinoceros.
Surdak then said: "The mercenary groups who are willing to come here are actually here to hunt ghost-patterned soldier ants. As long as they can hunt some soldier ants, they have a great chance of obtaining magic crystals. This kind of hunting
The activities are guaranteed to make money without losing any money.”
"There are so many mercenary groups, they actually walked the same road as us..." Beatrice exclaimed, then pointed at a large ant colony on the slope of a hill moving eastward, and looked nervously at Su
Erdak: "Look, there's an ant colony over there..."
At this time, the cavalry at the front stopped.
A cavalryman rode quickly to Suldak and reported to Suldak that the road ahead was blocked by a swarm of ants.
Surdak pondered for a moment and then ordered:
"Then let's go around. Before we meet up with the cavalry battalion, we will try our best to avoid coming into contact with the ant colony for the time being..."
The team continued until noon, and after avoiding four ant colonies, they finally arrived at the hunting grounds of the cavalry camp.
Looking at the cavalry battalion, there are a total of five hundred cavalrymen running around the ant colony. They are like ferocious sharks surrounding a school of fish. If they find an opportunity, they will kill a few ghost-striped soldier ants on the outer circle of the ant colony.
Looking south along the slope on the north side of the hill, there are corpses of ghost-striped worker ants everywhere along the way. It seems that most of the worker ants in the ant colony have been killed by the cavalry, and only a few soldier ants are left.
Frequently retreated.
They have lost the courage to take the initiative to attack.
In fact, these ghost-striped soldier ants are not afraid of death. The main reason is that the ghost-striped ant queen who controls the ant colony is worried that once the soldier ants are mobilized to confront the cavalry head-on, Andrew and Gulitem will lead the elite cavalry to raid the ghost-striped ants.
Ant's bodyguards.
Moreover, there are two Thunder Rhinoceros with crossbows on their backs threatening them from a distance. This ghost-striped ant queen always keeps the ants densely gathered together.
In this way, the ghost-striped ant queen will not face any threats for the time being. The ant colony is moving gradually towards the northern Invercargill Forest. However, the soldier ants at the edge of the ant colony have lost their heads in repeated raids by the cavalry.
.
The carcasses of these soldier ants are often gathered into piles and marked, and then dumped on the roadside, waiting for the Thunder Rhinoceros caravan to return and transport the hard armor of these soldier ants along the way back to Dodan Town.
…
Standing on the platform of Thunder Rhinoceros, Samira was the first to see Surdak and his party coming from a distance, and waved to them.
Swordsman Chester was studying the cavalry battalion's fighting methods. Apart from the fact that there were many mercenary groups watching around the battlefield, there seemed to be nothing special about it.
However, these were just staring at the ant colony. They did not participate in the battle, they just waited quietly for the ghost-striped soldier ants to leave the ant colony, and then they would surround them and hunt them.
Swordsman Chester also discovered that although the number of cavalry in the cavalry battalion was limited, these cavalry, led by two generals, attacked the ant colony again and again, almost every time with the greatest impact.
These cavalrymen cooperated very well, and the knight's spear in their hands almost never hit the target. Even if the stabbed part was not fatal, they would not fight around the ant colony.
And once he can't pull out the knight's spear, he will give up decisively.
On the other hand, those ghost-patterned soldier ants only had time to spray out some acid when faced with the charge of the cavalry.
The cavalry were wearing heavy armor, and the horses were also tightly wrapped in armor...
In the flying dust, the cavalry jumped past.
Many soldier ants were maimed in this way, but they fell behind the ant colony and were surrounded and killed by the cavalry.
The most eye-catching presence in the team, in addition to the two hill-like Thunder Rhinoceros, is the two-headed ogre brother holding a bone-crushing club. The blue ice armor is hung outside the mail, chasing the ant colony.
Behind him, the bone-crushing stick in his hand ignored the hard armor of the ghost-patterned soldier ants, and a huge dent would appear if he hit it.
Once the ghost-striped soldier ants turned to confront the two-headed ogre, the ogre did not resist and immediately turned around and ran back.
Once these soldier ants are chased out, they will be immediately rushed to death by the cavalry.
When these ghost-striped soldier ants returned to the ant colony, he chased after them and stuck to the tail of the ant colony. However, the big stick was very lethal. As he was pulling back and forth, the ghost-striped soldier ants fell to the battlefield unknowingly.
.
Great Swordsman Chester could tell at a glance that this was a complete crushing of power levels.
The armed Thunder Rhino behind him was advancing slowly. Samira and Lance were standing on the backs of two Thunder Rhinos respectively. Once giant ghost-striped soldier ants rushed out of the ant colony, they would be shot and killed without mercy.
Occasionally, some fireballs will fly out and explode the dense ant colony.
First, he noticed Andrew. This indigenous warrior successfully advanced to become a second-level warrior in Plantos Town. The Great Swordsman of Chester was deeply impressed by him.
Then he saw the archer Samira standing on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros. Judging from the many years of experience of the Great Swordsman of Chester, this archer could actually add wind energy to the arrows he shot. He had obviously broken through the second level.
.
Only then did Great Swordsman Chester discover that there were actually two second-level warriors and a two-headed ogre in Surdak's cavalry camp, which was a bit scary.
What's even more outrageous is that there is a mage team mixed in with the cavalry battalion.
I thought it was privately funded by Marquis Luther.
I thought to myself: Marquis Luther really loves and cares for this Baron Suldak. In addition to marrying his beloved daughter, he also helps him extra... Even if he is his own son, it is not an exaggeration.
…
Surdak led the team to join the cavalry battalion.
However, Chester discovered one thing. Hathaway was not familiar with these two second-level powerhouses at all. The two second-level powerhouses and the two-headed ogre obviously had no respect for Hathaway.
These three powerful men and the magicians from Halanza City were able to chat together.
Great Swordsman Chester guessed that they all came from the city of Halanza with Surdak.
And just half a month ago, no one around Surdak had advanced.
In such a short period of time, they have continuously broken through barriers, and some people have become second-level powerhouses.
In addition to personal strength, you also have to experience high-intensity battles.
Watching Suldak lead Hathaway and Beatrice onto the Thunder Rhinoceros, the Great Swordsman Chester now had some new understanding of Suldak's abilities.
When Suldak saw the Great Swordsman Chester staring at Andrew and Gulitem non-stop, he hung on the ladder beside Thunder Rhinoceros and turned to introduce the Great Swordsman Chester: "They are all from me.
What I brought back from Wozhimala City... Not only did we defeat the hell dogs in that war, I also brought back some helpers and fighting partners from Wozhimala City."
"Your vision is really accurate... Marquis Luther has a thousand first-level constructed swordsmen, but in the end there are less than ten swordsmen who can be promoted to the second level." Great Swordsman Chester said to Suldak with a smile.
.
Samira stood on the platform and stuck her head out to look down.
Andrew also returned with the tireless cavalry, surrounding the Thunder Rhinoceros.
Of course, everyone did not come here to watch Suldak. They were very curious about Miss Hathaway of the Luther family and Miss Beatrice of the Gopher family.
Being surrounded by nearly 500 cavalry, and some mercenaries from the mercenary group also looking this way, Beatrice stepped on the ladder, inevitably a little nervous, her leather boots accidentally stepped on the air, and her body suddenly
Slide down.
Although she was holding the rope with both hands, at this moment, she was so frightened that her mind went blank, and she completely lost the agility and balance of the female swordsman.
Suldak was just below Beatrice and took the opportunity to hold her foot that had slipped off, allowing her to climb up steadily.
He turned to the great swordsman Chester and said, "Andrew awakened the 'Shi' just at the time of the siege of Wozhimara City. That's when I discovered that he had awakened the 'Berserker Soul'."
Then he pointed to the half-elf archer above his head and introduced: "Samira was also met during the siege of the city. At that time, she had already inspired the elven blood."
"This is Gulitem... and his good brother Naohua'er. He is a gourmet who likes to explore the world's food and also likes to reason with people..."
The ogre was naturally very happy to hear Suldak introduce him in this way.
"The three of them all have some potential. This time they came to the Bailin plane to encounter the beast tide. The most important thing here is fresh meat and battles with monsters, so they have the opportunity to hit the second-level bottleneck."
While they were talking, the young magician Lance and his friends also rode on magic harpoons, flew off the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros, and landed next to Suldak.
"Lance, you are here at the right time. Let me introduce you to the great swordsman Chester. This is the supreme commander of the Luther Army in the Bailin plane." Suldak quickly introduced the great swordsman Chester.
To Lance.
"...This is my good friend Lance, a magician from Halanza City, who came to Dodan Town specifically to help me."
Suldak then introduced Lance's friends to the Great Swordsman Chester one by one.
When Great Swordsman Chester saw magicians like Lance, he realized that Surdak also had his own connections in Helensa City, and he relied entirely on his own strength to hunt these ghost-patterned red ants in the hills and mountains.
