The day after Surdak recaptured the Stone Bridge Camp, he led the cavalry battalion to the battlefield on the sand beside the lake. In addition to the remains of two giant male ants, there were thousands of ghost marks among the ashes.
The magic core left by the soldier ants.
The ghost-striped red ants were completely defeated. The soldier ants completely left the Shiqiao camp and the lakeside, leaving behind a large number of burned remains of the soldier ants.
In the early morning, the cold north wind was raging on the lake, and the remaining snow was picked up by the wind and floated farther away.
Against the north wind, the cavalry used hammers to hammer the carbonized soldier ant skeletons on the battlefield by the lake. Some of the skeletons were burned white and shattered with the slightest touch, and even some fragments floated away in the wind.
Some bones are soaked in tar and become hard and brittle. If you want to break these bones open, hit them with all your strength. Some bones are not completely burned and even retain the nature of hard armor. Use a long sword to chop them.
It will be much easier.
These magic cores, which are like briquettes, are very inconspicuous in the pile of bones. It is not easy to find them all.
The cavalry need to first identify the number of bones from their initial state, which is also the approximate number of magic cores, and then they have to clean them up bit by bit and find them bit by bit.
It is not necessary to break all the bones, but the battlefield is indeed huge and there are many wreckage.
The cavalry were the first to enter this battlefield. By the time the archers joined, they had already made themselves look like coal diggers in the mine. Colors could only be seen when they smiled and blinked.
But what surprised everyone was the number of dead soldier ants. Thousands of ghost-patterned soldier ants burned to ashes on the battlefield just after the red dragon breathed out its breath several times.
This cross-level dimensionality reduction attack allows everyone to clearly understand the terrifying power of high-level Warcraft.
The income brought to Surdak from the magic cores recovered from these ghostly patterned soldier ants alone could almost make up for nearly one-fifth of the losses after the defeat in the Battle of Stone Bridge Camp.
It's a pity that a lot of hard armor was lost.
The remains of the giant male ants were not well preserved. The corpses of the male ants were stained with acid rot, and the entire hard armor was mottled with burns. No magic patterns were preserved, and the
The flesh and blood were also eaten clean by other ghost-marked soldier ants.
From a distance, they look like the remains of two huge magic mechas. When you walk in, you realize that they actually have no use value at all.
Probably the soldiers in the army were frightened by Israel. Seeing him riding into the battlefield, his expressions were not as relaxed and casual as before, and everyone's eyes were filled with awe.
It took the army a whole day to clean up more than half of the battlefield. The main reason was that the value of the magic core was too high. The soldiers would rather be careful and slow than miss anything. Moreover, the entire battlefield was burned by fire.
The remaining snow and ice in some places melted as a result, and then solidified into ice with the bones after the fire was extinguished, making this part more difficult to deal with.
These days, it gets dark relatively early at Shiqiao Camp.
In the evening, Surdak stood by the lake and looked up at the sky.
The sky was covered with gray clouds, and heavy snow was about to fall.
Once these wreckage are buried in the snow, it will be even more difficult to dig them out.
Watching the soldiers dragging their exhausted bodies back to the camp in darkness, they had been freezing in the wind and snow all day, and their physical strength had been exhausted.
Surdak still thinks that he will continue to collect these magic cores tomorrow morning.
The heavy snow started to fall in the middle of the night. The goose feather-like snowflakes floated down silently and soon piled up a thick layer on the ground.
The soldiers lying in the tents in the military camp crawled out of the tents one after another. They didn't have time to clear the snow covering the tents, picked up the hammers, and ran towards the battlefield by the lake despite the wind and snow.
In the heavy snow, they rushed to smash the wreckage that had not been searched, and took advantage of the snow not being too deep to snatch out the magic core overnight.
By the time daybreak came, the entire Shiqiao camp had been covered by two feet of snow, and the pitch-black battlefield was completely buried in the snow.
Seeing the head of the last charred ghost-patterned soldier ant being crushed, in the dawn light, the soldiers covered in a thick layer of ice armor cheered, and everyone returned to the camp happily.
In this cold weather, you must eat more high-calorie foods to keep out the cold. The oil of ghost-striped soldier ants is not rich enough, but it is also a good delicacy when stewed with canned luncheon meat transported from the rear.
It snowed heavily all night, and almost half of the marching tents in Shiqiao Camp collapsed.
The soldiers rebuilt their tents in the biting cold wind, and then got into sleeping bags and slept soundly
After the lake surface froze, it was covered with a thick layer of snow, and what appeared most often on the snow were the pointed footprints of ghost-striped soldier ants.
In order to prevent a large number of ghost-striped soldier ants from crossing the ice lake to attack the Shiqiao camp, Suldak placed a large number of explosives on the ice lake. These explosives were buried in the ice by the cavalry, and fuses soaked in beeswax were crisscrossed.
Hidden under the snow.
He did not take advantage of the red dragon Iser to severely damage the army of ghost-marked red ants and cross the ice lake to attack the Dark Worm Valley at the foot of Shizhu Mountain.
In fact, although the caves of ghost-marked red ants are everywhere at the foot of the mountain, it is only the outermost entrance to the Dark Worm Valley. In the cold winter, the ghost-marked red ants also have to sneak into the deep caves of the dark insect valley to rely on their storage.
Food to survive the harsh winter.
So no war broke out for several days.
The combined forces of the Adventure Group and the Mercenary Group also camped by the lake again. Almost all the magic herbs in this area had been plundered by this group before the heavy snowfall. Now there is no trace of the ghost-striped red ants. Many people are on the battlefield.
Look for usable materials in the wreckage.
Of course, the remains of two giant male ants are also the focus of their search.
By the time Andrew led the cavalry battalion across the lake again, it was already the fourth day after the heavy snowfall. This time the cavalry arrived at the entrance of the Dark Worm Valley at the foot of the mountain. The place was no longer as prosperous as it was three weeks ago, and was even covered with snow.
A large number of ant nest entrances.
The ghost-striped worker ants seemed to disappear without a trace after the heavy snow, but occasionally some dark red ghost-striped soldier ants appeared at the entrance of the ant nest.
They seemed to be afraid of the cold and did not emerge from the anthill, and Andrew did not attack rashly.
Latu led the crossbow maintenance team to repair six catapults in a few days. This time he followed the cavalry battalion across the ice lake and stopped on the lake.
As Samira personally ignited the oak barrel of explosives for throwing the basketball, six barrels of explosives were thrown out while rolling, and finally exploded at the entrance of the ant nest.
The catapult bombing only lasted for half a day, and just as Surdak had expected, the ghost-striped soldier ants once again emerged from the ant nests in all directions. They gathered a large army by the lake to confront Surdak's army on the lake.
Probably because they didn't see the red dragon in the sky, the ghost-patterned soldier ants began to charge towards the lake.
