MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 1588 1574. Battle in North Sunderland

Over the past year or so, Aphrodite has successively produced nearly 8,000 magic contract scrolls. The ant cavalry of the West Route Army expanded to 8,000 on the eve of the war, and a total of sixteen ant cavalry regiments were organized. And because the ghost-striped soldier ants participated in several battles one after another, the number of giant ghost-striped soldier ants also broke through the 10,000 mark.

  It's just that the number of 70,000 ghost-patterned red ants in the West Route Army has dropped to 35,000 due to successive battles.

In other words, Suldak recruited 100,000 ghost-pattern soldier ants from the Bailin plane twice. After a year of fighting, there were only 35,000 ordinary ghost-pattern soldier ants left, and one more The mounts of ten thousand evolved giant ghost pattern soldier ants and eight thousand ant cavalry.

   Nearly half of the ghost pattern soldiers died on the battlefield of the Moyunling highlands, but Suldak harvested tens of thousands of ordinary magic cores. (Ghost pattern soldier ants do not have black magic crystals on their body)

In addition, most of the hard armor peeled off by the ghost-patterned soldier ants who died in battle were also brought back to Hailansa City by Suldak, and then transported by land to Bena City, where they became the Harvey Goeffel Raw materials in that leather workshop.

In the West Route Army, these ghost-patterned soldiers and ants have always been an independent existence. They usually live in burrows and will not cause any trouble to the soldiers in the barracks. The food is also very simple, basically from the ghost army. Those ordinary ghost fighters.

The West Route Army claims to have assembled 400,000 troops. Judging from the current situation, the most powerful legion is not the Constructed Knights led by Andrew, nor is it nearly 130,000 heavy armored infantry, but these are completely fearless on the battlefield. Dead ghost-striped soldier ants.

  Every time a war starts, the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants will always be at the forefront. Taking advantage of the fight between the ghost warriors and the ghost-patterned soldiers, the knights and heavy armored infantry will enter the battlefield.

  In just one year, the West Route Army's successive victories in the northern Handanaer County have completely established the West Route Army's dominance in the northern battlefield of Handanaer County.

At the same time, since no lord army was willing to reinforce the Warsaw plane at the beginning, in order to prepare for the two routes of reinforcements, the Pena Army Department made a promise that the Bena Army Department would bear all the military expenses for the supplies of the east and west armies. The spoils still belong to the lords and battlefield commanders of all parties.

  Because of this contract, the West Route Army made a net profit of nearly 50,000 ordinary magic crystals just from the 45,000 ghost-pattern soldier ants that died, not counting the trophies captured by the evil ghost army.

  The West Route Army also relied on the brilliant achievements of the year, and the entire army has grown savagely...

  Suldak's Constructed Knights changed from the first two to five, and there were 8,000 more ant cavalry, and a monster army composed of nearly 10,000 giant ghost-striped soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that the first-turn knights of the last two Constructed Knights are basically tribal fighters who came out of the Aegrod tribe. Ke also absorbed nearly sixty Aigrod warriors, the so-called second-rank strongmen.

  The second-rank strongmen of the Aigrod tribe were organized by Suldak into each squadron of the Constructed Knights. The constructed knight squadron with the second-ranked strong will double its combat power.

  Five Constructed Knights and nearly 10,000 giant ghost-patterned soldiers ants wandered around the North Sunderland Mountains. They were like locusts passing through the border. Almost no small group of evil spirits dared to appear at the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains.

  …

  The North Sunderland Mountains stretch from east to west for nearly 300 kilometers. The mountains in the eastern section gradually become less steep, and the cliffs become low mountains that plunge into the inner lake.

In a mountain depression less than 70 kilometers away from the inner lake, a regiment of more than 700 evil spirits is trapped inside. Giant ghost-patterned soldier ants can be seen everywhere on the mountain ridge. With the cooperation of the legion, this army of evil spirits in the valley has been completely killed, and the corpses of evil spirit soldiers are lying here and there on the rocky **** covered with trees.

Just now there was a killing battle here. After receiving the information from the magician scouting group, the Second Constructed Knights of the West Route Army set off from the Neihu Fortress on the south bank of the Neihu Lake and hurried all the way here, where they will lurk here. The evil ghost army in the mountain depression in the forest area was defeated in one fell swoop.

  The surrounding mountain ridges were full of ant cavalry and giant ghost-striped soldier ants, and they intercepted the fleeing ghost warriors.

There are battles everywhere on the high mountains. Although these evil ghost warriors are much stronger than the ant cavalry, they are not good at climbing rock walls, and they escaped from the battlefield in the depression, so they have no fighting spirit. , so when facing the ant cavalry, they almost always fled in one-sided defeat.

Hitchcock, the leader of the Constructed Knights, had just cut a foot-long wound on his arm when he was fighting the evil general in this army. Although the bleeding had been stopped and he was bandaged with a hemostatic bandage for first aid, However, it is still necessary to suture the wound as soon as possible.

  So although a large number of evil spirits fled away on the battlefield, the constructed knights did not launch a deep pursuit.

Constructed knights began to pack up the spoils on the battlefield. Recently, Commander Suldak expanded the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry on a large scale. There are some gossips in the West Route Army. Many knights have heard that Suldak commanded Guan almost took out all his savings and invested in the battle of Moyunling Highland.

  Even if there is a defeat in the next battle, it will have a huge impact on the West Route Army...

   Therefore, the knights attach great importance to collecting spoils on the battlefield. In the past, many black-striped magic skins were casually discarded in the wilderness, but now the knights have also dismounted and began to skin them seriously.

  A group of knights rode on the backs of magic-weave war horses, strangling the seriously injured and surviving evil ghost warriors on the slopes of this mountain depression, and behind them were a group of constructed knights who were walking and peeling the black devil's skin.

  With the completion of the construction of the Neihu Fortress, the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army have begun to launch an offensive from the Neihu Lake to the North Sunderland Mountains. The cavalry regiment gradually captured the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains.

Seeing the scattered evil spirits fleeing to the outside of the mountain, the squadron leaders of the Constructed Knights did not want to give up. Each evil spirit represents a rich contribution. Now after chasing them, the heads of these evil spirits are almost for nothing. .

   But once these ghost warriors escaped from the col, the adventure group ambushing outside the col would definitely take a bite of this piece of fat.

Some constructed knights have seen the members of the adventure group who came out of the dense forest. They constantly ambushed the fleeing ghost warriors with crossbow arrows and traps. The body is also extremely powerful, but facing the special animal trap made by the adventure group, once caught in the net, it is impossible to struggle, and the more you struggle, the tighter it becomes...

   Seeing the adventure group hunt and kill evil spirits outside the col, the constructed knights wanted to chase them out...

   "Captain, shall we chase after him?" The third squadron leader held the head of General Evil Ghost in one hand, and the two-foot-long green horn in the other, and asked Hitchcock, the leader of the second knight formation.

   "The Commander issued an order to us at the last meeting, allowing the adventurous groups outside the col to fish for oil and water outside the battlefield, as long as they don't affect the battle on our side." Knight Commander Hitchcock said.

  Then the knight leader ordered again: "Tell the adventure group, let them be careful, there may be a small army of the evil ghost army in the nearby dense forest..."

"yes!"

  A messenger immediately agreed, turned around and rode his horse and ran towards the outside of the col.

   Knight Commander Hitchcock saw that the battlefield here was almost cleaned up, so he immediately got on his horse and told a group of constructed knights: "Let's go, go back to Neihu Fortress!"

The Whistle of Constructed Knights blew immediately, and then a 500-member Constructed Knights quickly ran out of the mountain, and ran along the plain at the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains towards the Neihu Fortress in the east. go.

  The ghost pattern soldier ants and ant cavalry who were besieging the evil ghost warriors on the mountain ridge also quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and followed the Constructed Knights back to the Neihu Fortress.

  …

Small-scale annihilation battles like this happen almost every day. The Constructed Knights of the West Route Army use various fortresses on the defense line as their bases, and use the very time-sensitive information provided by the Magician Scouting Group to raid those who haunt Beisen. The army of evil spirits in Mount Delan...

These five Constructed Knights will not stay in the North Senderland Mountains for too long. From launching an attack to ending the battle, they will basically be controlled within two hours. They will not wait for the support of the evil ghosts from other regions to come, and quickly withdraw. out of the mountains.

  The advantages of such a blitzkrieg are very obvious. Since the Constructed Knights are a surprise attack and have an absolute advantage in strength, and there are ghost-patterned soldiers and ants rushing in front, there are very few cases of combat attrition.

The Constructed Knights of the West Route Army relied on Gaogang Fortress, Neihu Fortress, and Canyon Fortress to launch a surprise attack on North Sunderland. They have completely suppressed the Evil Ghost Army in the North Sunderland Mountains. With the Evil Ghost Army gradually retreating westward In the eastern part of the mountain range, there is only a small army of evil spirits lurking deep in the dense forest.

  As long as these ghost warriors are cleared out, the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains will be considered the occupied area of ​​the West Route Army.

In addition, Suldak encouraged the adventure group to enter the North Sunderland battlefield, and promised the adventure group that as long as the adventure group does not affect the battle of the West Route Army, after defeating the evil ghost army, the adventure group can hunt and kill the fleeing evil ghost fighters at will , the West Route Army will not interfere with blocking.

   On the day this military order was issued, more than 700 adventure groups ventured into the North Senderland Mountains overnight.

Facts have proved that Suldak's move is very effective. These adventure groups are like an invisible large net spread in the North Sunderland Mountains. They found a large army of evil spirits, and even fired magic flares to notify those who were at high altitude. Magicians who scout the enemy.

   In just one month, the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains almost fell into the hands of the West Route Army.

  The activity area of ​​the evil ghost army is further compressed...

Due to the large number of flying ghosts in the North Sunderland Mountains, the magicians of the reconnaissance team are not afraid to fly at low altitudes in the mountains, so the small army of ghosts hiding in the dense forest is difficult to find. With these adventures This changed when the regiment entered the North Sunderland Mountains.

These flying ghosts with bone wings also like to haunt the mountains in groups. They usually hide in the crevices of the cliffs. Airflow glides over long distances.

Flying evil spirits are a great threat to magicians. After the Constructed Knights drove away the large army of evil spirits, nearly 8,000 ant cavalry flooded into the eastern part of the mountain range, and a large number of ant cavalry climbed up the cliff. Use the standard repeater and short flying spear that you carry with you to hunt down the weak flying demons.

   Until now, the role of these ant cavalry was fully highlighted.

  By relying on the climbing ability of the ghost pattern soldier ants, they can easily find the flying ghosts hiding in the crevices of the cliff, clearing the way for the magician investigation team.

  …

The biggest advantage of the evil ghost army on the Moyunling Highlands is that there is a door of evil ghosts in the evil ghost camp on Mount Horsens. This door is connected to the dark area in the depths of the abyss. You can continuously enter the Moyunling Highland.

It's just that Suldak discovered recently that after launching the general offensive, the number of evil spirits on the Moyunling Highland continued to decrease, and during this period, except for some flying evil spirits, there was no legion at all from Horsens. Mountain camp out.

   That is to say, due to the successive defeats of the Moyunling Highland Demon Army, the current Sanae Demon is likely to be preparing to abandon the Moyunling Highland...

According to the information obtained from the Western Knights Alliance, they found a ghost door in a ghost camp on the Kempato River. After preliminary research by the magicians, everyone found that this ghost door is similar to a one-way door. The portal, that is, after the gate of evil spirits is established, the evil spirits in the abyss can only crawl over. Once they enter the Warsaw plane, there is no way to return the same way.

  Suldak has occupied the two mountain passes in the north and south of the Moyunling Highland. The evil ghost army on the highland has no way to escape, and now they can only fight with trapped beasts.

  …

  The West Route Army has won successive battles in the eastern section of the North Senderland Mountains, and there are very few evil spirits in the occupied area outside the fortress line of defense.

The merchant group brought in a large amount of supplies from the rear, and they are currently stockpiling them in the strongholds outside the Neihu Fortress. In order to seek profit, the merchants have become very courageous. As soon as the general attack on the North Sunderland Mountains started, they will stockpile in Epsom The supplies from the city were brought in.

  The materials hoarded in Neihu Fortress are almost enough for the 400,000 troops of the West Route Army to consume for the whole winter.

Before Baron Martino arrived at the Moyunling Highlands, news had already reached the ears of the merchants. They did not know where they heard it, saying that Commander Suldak was planning to build a city by the lake. This not only It is a big event. For businessmen, it means a huge business opportunity that is rare in a few years.

Before Surdak gave any hint, a business group had already purchased the rock mining rights at the easternmost end of the North Sunderland Mountains from Surdak, and started to build a quarry on the west bank of the inner lake. The first batch of The stonemasons were recruited from the province of Evelson, and some of the remaining quarry laborers were homeless refugees in Epsom who had no way to return to the province of Evelson.

  The first day Surdak came to Neihu Fortress, he discovered that there were already quarries and lumberyards here...
