   Chapter 1478 1465. Choice

  Following the news that the West Route Army had opened the gate of Moyunling reached Handanal City, the people who were still immersed in the joy of regaining Kornberg County were boiling again.

  People here don’t need to care about Kornberg, after all, it’s a matter of other provinces, but no one doesn’t care about Moyunling, which belongs to the northern gate of Handanal County.

  The evil spirits on the Moyunling Highland have always been like a fishbone stuck in his throat. Duke Newman tried many ways, but unfortunately he couldn't pull out the fishbone.

  Now the West Route Army has pushed open the southern gate of Moyunling...

  The aristocratic lords in Handanar City began to have some new ideas at this time, and they were more eager than ever to send their lord army to the battlefield of Moyunling.

   Of course, the commander cannot be any of them.

  What they hoped most was that Suldak could recruit their lord army in full. The olive branch was handed over, but there was no response from the West Route Army.

  The noble lords in the city are not fools, of course they know that the commander, Earl Suldak, despises the troops in their hands.

   But seeing such a big piece of cake sitting there, if they don’t run over and cut off a piece and put it on their plate, the lords always have a little bit of emptiness in their hearts.

The dining table was covered with exquisite tableware, the champagne had already been opened, and the guests were all seated, but the chef failed to serve the main course, not only did not serve it, but distributed this delicious and delicate main course to the dining room The **** outside.

  That’s right, the nobles in Handanal City now feel this way.

   It would be embarrassing if you can't eat it. Now seeing food in the hands of roadside beggars and homeless people is simply a humiliation for Chiguoguo.

  …

  The first people to make money here in Moyunling were those adventure groups who dared to break into Moyunling.

  After the West Route Army entered the valley, they stood still. In addition to deploying defenses, one of the things that Suldak put the most effort into was building a city wall at the northern exit of the valley. First, it was a wooden wall, and then a stone city wall was built with rocks.

The actual width of the north exit of the valley is only more than 200 meters. It is a standard funnel shape, with steep cliffs on both sides. It is closely connected with the mountains at the southern foot of Moyunling. These steep mountains are covered with a lot of vegetation, and the evil ghost army has almost no There is a way to get out of Moyun Ridge from outside the valley.

   This valley in the middle of the mountain is more like the only gourd mouth at the southern end of the Moyunling Highlands. For the evil ghost army on the Moyunling, this place is a hundred times more important than the mountain pass at the southern foot of the Moyunling.

  However, such a strategically important place was easily captured by the West Route Army in one night...

Suldak knew that there would be a swift counterattack from the evil spirits, and he didn't even think about letting the heavy armored infantry enter the Moyunling Highlands, lest the evil spirits would counterattack and the infantry would not retreat quickly enough. , was besieged and killed one by one by the counterattacking evil ghost army.

  The wooden wall was built in only three days. A large amount of earth and rocks were filled between the two rows of closely arranged log fences. This wooden wall is ten meters high and three meters wide. The city wall is connected to the mountains on both sides.

  The main reason is that the West Route Army has enough infantry. They are heavy armored infantry with their swords and shields, and they are extremely high-quality labor when they put down their swords and shields.

  As long as someone takes the lead and assigns tasks clearly, of course things can be done very quickly.

   Although there were some twists and turns during the construction of the stone city wall, it was mainly due to the insufficient supply of volcanic ash cement in Suldak, which caused the entire project to stall for nearly two days.

  There is a special cement factory in Wall Village, and Suldak asked Aphrodite to go back to Wall Village for this matter.

  With volcanic ash cement, there is no difficulty in building this city wall. Even the stones outside the city wall are put into iron cages before they are stacked together.

  Inside the iron cage is almost a layer of stones poured with a layer of cement. Each iron cage is two meters square and looks like an ordinary animal cage.

  The interior of the city wall is more casual when building, as long as the gap between the two rows of iron cages is filled with stones.

  These stones don't need to be polished flat, no matter what shape they are, they use pozzolan cement to fill the gaps between the stones.

   This stone wall actually only took half a month. With the cooperation of 130,000 infantry soldiers, it was built quickly.

Everyone, including the soldiers from the West Route Army, the demon hunters from the adventure map, and the merchants from the business group, saw such an efficient project for the first time. There were more people than stones on the entire construction site, and everyone lined up carrying stones The team moves forward, and there are fixed routes when going out and in...

   By the time the evil ghost army on the Moyunling Highland responded, Suldak had already set up three hundred bed crossbows on the 40-meter-high stone wall.

  The wooden wall behind the stone wall was not abandoned either. Almost all the catapults of the West Route Army were pushed against the wooden wall. From here, flints were thrown outside through the 40-meter-high stone wall. These flints were just enough to fly out.

  The latest merit list of the West Route Army was posted directly on the city wall this time...

  A great battle has just ended, and the soldiers have accumulated a lot of achievements in their hands, but at this time, few people are willing to redeem their achievements, because everyone once again focused their attention on the top ten rewards on the merit list.

  …

   As we all know, the biggest hidden danger in the northern part of Handanal County is the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge.

   It is said that this group of evil spirits opened a door of evil spirits on the highland of Moyunling.

  In the past few years, the Beina Legion once wanted to capture Moyun Ridge and destroy the Gate of Evil Ghosts. Unfortunately, the legions that went out were defeated one after another, and Duke Newman has not been able to do so.

This time the Bena Legion regained Kornberg. Duke Newman originally only hoped that the West Route Army would be able to defend the Gandahell Mountains and prevent the evil ghost army on the Moyun Ridge in the north from taking advantage of it, but he never thought about the West Route Army. Not only did he successfully complete the garrison mission, but he also helped the Eastern Route Army intercept an advancing army of evil spirits.

   Not only that, but the West Route Army took advantage of the situation to open the gate to the south of Moyunling after the Beinar Army captured Kornberg County.

  Looking at the map of Handanall County, Duke Newman couldn't get out of his thoughts for a long time.

   During his eight years in the Warsaw plane, he is familiar with every battlefield here.

  Thinking of the letters Luthor wrote to himself before, I thought that the words of praise for Suldak above were nothing more than a boast. Who would have thought that what he said was the truth...

   Several staff officers from the war room stood behind Duke Newman.

   At this time, they had woken up from the shock, and someone immediately said:

   "It seems that the epic equipment given to Earl Suldak last time was not in vain. This Earl Suldak really brought us an unexpected surprise."

Some people simply stepped forward, pointed to the map on the wall, and suggested: "My lord, since we have captured the entire territory of Kornberg, I think it is better to return to the northern part of Handanal County and take the Morocco Cloud Ridge is down."

  The staff officers behind also nodded again and again, echoing:

   "At that time, we will open the passage to the north of the Warsaw plane..."

"In the seven counties of the Warsaw plane, only two counties are still under the control of the evil spirits, but our Bena Legion is basically a swordsman regiment. In any case, it is not as fast as those knights of the Cavalry Alliance. We are rushing now. In the past, it would not have occupied the best quality resources, so it would be better to go back and conquer Moyun Ridge."

   Some staff officers also held negative opinions, and everyone argued endlessly in the room.

   "It is impossible for the Bena Legion to return to Handanal County immediately. Kornberg County still needs our legion to garrison. We can only move to the next place when the lords come over."

  Duke Newman was disturbed by this group of people. They were not good at strategic deployment, but when preparing for a big war, they were able to make up for the omissions and come up with some good ideas.

  At least when they captured Kornberg County, they still had some brilliant performances.

  So Duke Newman just listened quietly and did not speak.

  At this time, the guard outside the door came in and reported to Duke Newman:

   "My lord, the emissary of the Knights Alliance is here..."

  The hall suddenly fell silent.

  Duke Newman came out in public and told the guards:

   "Ask them to come in..."

   Then he said to the staff around him:

   "The next step is to clean up all the ghost legions in the Kempato River Basin. This strategy was discussed with several other dukes before, so the plan will not change in any way."

  He turned his head and said to the herald beside him:

   "Let the logistics side prepare the military supplies, I'll go and see the people from the Cavaliers Alliance."

   "Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

   Now that Kornberg County is in his hands, Duke Newman knows that he has made the right bet this time, and the years spent in the Warsaw plane have not been in vain.

   There are no more than ten such rich planes even in the entire territory of the Grimm Empire.

  The Busman family once became the top three lords of the Green Empire by virtue of the rich products of the Warsaw plane.

  But Ryan Bussman made enemies everywhere in the empire. In just a few decades, the ranking of the Bussman family among the nobles dropped from the top three to outside the top ten.

   Now that Ryan is dead, the Busman family has almost given up on the Warsaw plane, and the road left for the Busman family is getting narrower and narrower...

   I really don't know how the young Duke Quentin Bussman will turn around such a predicament.

   But these are not what Duke Newman needs to consider.

What he needs to pay attention to now is how to divide the big cake of the Warsaw plane. The counties of Handanal and Kornberg alone cover an area as large as two Bena provinces. The minerals of Kornberg County The resources are extremely rich, and there are large grasslands and woodlands in Handanal County, surrounded by large mountains.

According to the suggestions of his staff, as long as the Beinar Army can hold these two counties, they can now march northward, take advantage of the West Route Army to open the gate of Le Moyun Ridge, advance into Mo Yun Ridge, and divide that piece of land into Bei Na The territory of Naxing Province.

  But in this way, the interests of the West Route Army and Earl Suldak will be greatly reduced.

   To put it in a bad way, the West Route Army opened the gate of Lemo Yunling, and the Bena Army went to pick the fruit...

   This is the biggest reason why Duke Newman rejected the proposal of his staff.

  Of course, the Marquis of Luther is not ruled out. After all, the Luther Army has been stationed in the province of Bena.

  The province-wide rebellion has always been in charge of Marquis Luthor...

  ‘Count Suldak, that stage is for you, you can’t let me down! '

   Duke Newman thought in his heart.

  …

  The West Route Army has moved the garrison camp to the valley on the mountainside of Moyunling. Suldak has been waiting here for nearly half a month, but he has not seen any letter from Duke Newman.

  The evil ghost army that was driven out of the valley by Suldak has gathered together again in the past half a month.

  Now they are hidden in a mountain depression outside the north exit of the valley. The magician investigation team has already found out their location, and there are almost 30,000 ghost warriors gathered together.

   Of course, so far, the ration problem has been seriously restricting the size of the evil ghost army.

  Moyunling Highland was originally relatively barren, and now the evil spirits can't wait to dig out the grass roots here and stuff them into their stomachs.

  The ghost hunting group has not been able to obtain food supplies along the Ganda Er Mountain in the past few months, and the northern mountains of Moyunling are full of aboriginal tribes.

  In the past, the evil spirits could drive the group of aboriginal warriors back to their stronghold, and then hunt wantonly in this mountain range.

  But now there are almost no prey in the northern mountains, unless the aborigines are caught and eaten, but this kind of thing is not realistic at the moment.

   It is not so easy for the ghost hunting group to cross the northern mountains and go hunting in the wild mountains further north...

  So, the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge has been starving recently.

  Suldak estimated that in the past few months, there should not be too many ghost fighters entering Moyun Ridge through the ghost gate. The reason is that the logistics supply of the ghost army is insufficient.

  In fact, what Suldak is most concerned about is Duke Newman's attitude. After all, so many noble lords are staring at the big cake in Suldak's hand...

"The Benar Legion didn't respond at all, and the noble lords in Handanar City have been unable to intervene." Andrew explained to the wolf knight Tago in a low voice, and then added: "It seems that Duke Newman is a man. not bad…"

  Carrie Decker sat opposite Andrew, holding a quill pen, writing and drawing on a piece of parchment.

  She stopped the pen in her hand, and blurted out: "Perhaps Duke Newman has taken into account the thoughts of Marquis Luther."

   "No matter what, it seems that the Duke of Newman is planning to hand over the Moyunling Highland to us." Andrew said with high spirits: "Boss, as long as I..."

  Suldak waved his hand quickly, signaling Andrew not to continue drawing his pie.

  He hoped that more adventure groups would gather here to nibble away at the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge.

  Using the strength of those adventure groups to weaken the evil ghost army on the opposite side is better than the useless lord army in the city.

   Not only are there no disputes such as territorial ownership, but the demon hunters in the adventure group will not foolishly fill the stomachs of those evil spirits...

   "Continue to increase the benefits for the adventure group and attract more adventure groups to help us."

  Suldak pinched the sore corners of his eyes, and said wearily.

   None tonight
