Lord of Hyranza

Many indigenous tribes from the Bailin Plane lived among the mountains, and now this place has almost turned into a piece of terracotta.

A large number of ghost-striped ant colonies are constantly wandering in this mountain, and each ant colony maintains a relatively independent colony. They are equivalent to the team of a ghost-striped red ant empire. location, these ghost pattern worker ants will immediately throw themselves into the construction of the empire.

It's just that these queens didn't build an empire north of the Thorn Mountains.

The garrison cavalry of Duodan Town came out of the canyon, and a team of nearly a thousand people pulled out a long line of nearly two kilometers in the canyon, followed by ten four-wheeled carriages.

A group of mercenaries standing at the mouth of the canyon looked at the cavalry team walking out slowly, with envious expressions on their faces.

This group of cavalry should indeed be envied by everyone. Their achievements may not be so dazzling, but all the mercenaries in Dodan Town know that it is this group of cavalry that almost wiped out the ghosts in the Dodan Canyon on their own. Red ants are exterminated.

Now that they saw the cavalry walking out of the canyon, they knew that their target should be the ghost-striped red ants in the mountains.

For Suldak, without Aphrodite and Selena by his side, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the ant queen in the ant colony for the time being. After all, it was a fourth-level monster. Not long after hatching, but the coercion brought by the high-level monsters it owns is also palpitating.

Suldak hunted and killed five ghost ant queens before and after, but he never really came into close contact with them.

Even the last group of ghost-striped red ants in Prantos town was killed by Samira with a bed crossbow. It can be said that Suldak killed the first and fifth ghost-striped red ants on the bed. Under the giant crossbow arrows of the crossbow.

The second Ghost Ant Queen rushed into Selena's dark mist and was killed by everyone.

The third queen and the fourth queen died under the rocks.

According to the Chester Great Swordsman, the Ghost Ant Queen possesses spiritual skills such as mind puncture, mind control, and illusion. When fighting with her, keep a distance as much as possible, otherwise you may be affected by the Ghost Ant Queen.

Fortunately, Thunder Rhinoceros was following behind with four bed crossbows on its back for hunting in the Dodan Canyon this time. Otherwise, Suldak would really have to devise a way to hunt the ghost ant queen.

The entire hilly area seemed to have been devoid of living creatures other than ghost-striped red ants for a long time. As soon as the cavalry entered the hills and mountains, some ghost-striped soldier ant scouts wandering outside the ant colony discovered the cavalry team. The queen ant slowly approached the cavalry with a large group of ghost-striped red ants.

Tens of thousands of red ants in the hills and mountains can almost cover several hills. From a distance, there are red ants all over the mountains and plains.

Suldak didn't want to confront these ghost-striped red ants head-on. They had a steady stream of red ants, and no matter how strong the [-] cavalrymen were, they would eventually be exhausted.

The cavalry brigade stopped a few kilometers away, and only Andrew and the two-headed ogre led fifty first-turn cavalry to kill them directly.

They rely on Gu Bolai's running speed to circle the ant colony.

A large number of soldier ants in the ant colony rushed out towards Andrew and the others, and a few giant ghost pattern soldier ants were among them.

Andrew did not fight, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran in another direction.

The cavalry came and went like the wind in the hilly land, these ghost pattern soldiers couldn't catch up with the cavalry, they could only eat ashes behind them.

Surdak led a large cavalry force and waited on a hill at the edge of the canyon.

After Andrew rode his horse through the ant colony several times, the ant colony, which was originally in a bloated formation, was quickly torn apart by Andrew's cavalry.

The originally circular ant colony is now like a split continental plate, with gaps everywhere.

Andrew and the two-headed ogre are simply two rascals. They rampage in the ant colony, and they don't fight with the giant ghost-striped soldier ants at all. They just take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to cut wounds on the ghost-striped soldier ants. .

The soldier ants in the ant colony spit acid on the two of them. Andrew has the Earth Shield magic pattern structure, and Gulitum has the frost armor personally blessed by his good brother Naohuaer. Both of them have protective measures. So no one cares much about these sour liquids.

The two are like two sharp arrows, unstoppable in the ant colony.

Even so, the ghost pattern ant queen did not send out the male ants of the personal guard group, but sent the largest force in the ant colony - the ghost pattern worker ants.

The ghost-striped worker ants are the hard workers at the bottom of the ant colony. The dirtiest and most tiring work in the entire red ant empire is done by the ghost-striped worker ants. Even the queen wants to store some rations, and these ghost-striped worker ants eat the food. The nutrients in the stomach are converted into sugar, and finally become a honeypot for storing honey, and then hung on the roof of the cave to dry slowly.

Although these ghost pattern worker ants do not have much combat power, their biggest feature is that they are numerous.

They rushed out of the ant colony according to the queen's instructions, trying to surround the cavalrymen. As long as they could hold back these cavalrymen, the ghost pattern soldier ants that came after them would entangle the cavalrymen tightly.

How could the cavalry give them such an opportunity, even if they took these ghost-striped red ants to run around in the mountains, if they had the opportunity to launch a charge, of course they would not miss it.

The tug-of-war continued for a whole day, and the corpses of ghost-striped worker ants were everywhere in the surrounding hills and mountains.

The cavalry led the ant colony to the edge of Dodan Canyon several times. Unfortunately, the ghost-striped male ants are unwilling to leave the colony. They also protect the ghost-striped queen in every possible way. willing to leave.

When the sun was about to set, I saw the 'Path of Fire' finally burning behind the two-headed ogre.

The two-headed ogre ran vigorously in the hills and mountains, and wherever it ran, there were flames burning there.

However, these red ants are very afraid of fire. Even if the wall of flames is two feet high, the red ants will not cross it.

In the end, these ghost-striped red ants could only be led by the nose by the two-headed ogre. Andrew led a group of cavalry to wander outside the ant colony. It's the queen ant, and she doesn't have the ability to restrict Andrew's coming and going.

The cavalry kept harassing the ant colony, and each time there were only more than a hundred cavalry.

It wasn't until two days later that the ghost-striped worker ants and soldier ants outside the ant colony were all cleaned up, and the queen trapped in the middle of more than 30 ghost-striped drones realized that she had lost the best time to escape.

Just as the giant crossbow arrows continued to shoot down, the ghost-striped male ants fell down one after another in the mountains.

At the last moment, the ghost ant queen finally realized that she was about to die, she no longer cared about the birds in the sky, and rushed towards the sky with fluttering wings.

A giant crossbow bolt wrapped in wind elements on the shaft hit it, piercing its chest cavity...

Chapter 819 Fur Trading

On the first day of entering the hills and mountains, ten four-wheeled carriages returned to Dodan Town full of ghost pattern soldier ants that afternoon.

On the second day after the ten wagons returned with a full load, Mrs. Luna, acting as the mayor of the town, organized twenty wagons to pass through the Dodan Valley and arrived at the battlefield in the hilly area before noon.

Although the acting female mayor made the boldest prediction of her life, the twenty carriages still failed to carry all the spoils.

On the third day, a thunder rhino caravan came to the hills and mountains.

This caravan has a total of twelve Thunder Rhinos. They line up in a row among the mountains, and they look like a row of moving hills from a distance.

Thanks to the timely arrival of the Thunder Rhino caravan, all the spoils accumulated in three days can finally be transported to Dodan Town.

The Thunder Caravan originally came to modify the body of the Thunder Rhino. Suldak led the army to hunt ghost-striped red ants outside the canyon. The head of the caravan immediately decided to bring the Thunder Rhino Caravan to see Suerdak commander.

The scene of cleaning the battlefield was very lively.

Selina personally rushed to the frontline position, and assigned personnel to count the spoils, achievements, battle damage and the need for supplementary supplies.

In this hunting, the merit points obtained by the cavalry battalion will no longer be distributed equally, but will be divided according to the cavalry squads. All ghost-striped red ants killed on the battlefield will have unique marks for each squad.

The hilly and mountainous battlefield also spans a large area. The cavalry carried out raids around the ant colonies, resulting in the corpses of ghost-striped red ants everywhere in the hills and mountains. Run around the area, and use the lasso to drag back the ghost-striped soldier ants that were missed.

But in this way, the enthusiasm of the cavalry to fight has been greatly improved at once.

This hunting did not use explosives to clean up the ghost-striped worker ants, and these ghost-striped worker ants were also included in the merit account again, making the merit statistics more cumbersome.

Selena temporarily found a few cavalrymen who knew the imperial language to make statistics together, and they were busy until night before returning to Dodan Town with the Thunder Rhino Caravan.

As for the merit statistics, I have been busy until night, mainly because when Selina checked the total at the end, the merit value and the number of ghost-patterned soldiers did not match up.

In order to count the merits of each team as soon as possible, Selina temporarily invited several cavalry to do it together.

But these cavalry participated in this battle after all. Many of the cavalry on the battlefield were their familiar friends. Everyone had selfish intentions. Occasionally, some people recorded more meritorious deeds in private. This kind of thing cannot be supervised...

This is the first time that the cavalry battalion has falsely reported their merits since the merits were counted this time.

When she returned to Dodan Town, Selena still had a straight face and didn't want to say a word.

Selina wanted to thoroughly investigate these cavalrymen who were in charge of counting merits, but was stopped by Suldak later. The amount of falsely reported merits was not too large. In order to ensure the smooth progress of hunting ghost-striped red ants, she did not continue. Pursue this matter.

It's just that the few cavalrymen who are in charge of counting their merits have been busy for half a day without any subsidies and rewards.

……

Lance and several of his friends have been living in Thunder Rhino's cabin for the past few days.

I have also participated in several battles in the past few days, but unfortunately I did not give full play to the advantages of the magician.

They just stood on the platform and threw a few fireballs at the ant colony, but it didn't actually have much impact on the entire battle.

The few young magicians have a certain understanding of the fighting style of the imperial cavalry, and have a clear understanding of the strength of the cavalry team of Suldak.

Lance didn't expect that Suldak's subordinates would have second-rank powerhouses such as the Nanai native warrior Andrew and the two-headed ogre. No wonder he could not only easily defend the Dodan Canyon, but also lead the cavalry to fight out of the canyon.

The two of them led a group of cavalry to fight in the ant colony, and they were almost the mainstay on the battlefield. All the cavalry followed behind them, like locusts passing through the border, plundering and harvesting ghost-striped red ants.

This is also the most intuitive feeling for Lance to fight in the hills and mountains with the cavalry battalion.

Later, Lance discovered that the half-elven archer Samira was the core of the entire team. In the final battle to kill the queen ant, she shot and killed sixteen ghost-striped drones and one ghost ants by herself. Ant Queen.

Seeing these soldiers in the cavalry battalion, the young mages also began to think about how to gain more merit and how to fight with those cavalry in coordination.

The five of them gathered in the cabin and began to think about the role of magicians in a war.

They can't charge like a knight, nor can they shoot arrows as frequently as an archer. Although the power of the fireball is not bad, if this thing is used dozens of times frequently, the mental power will be exhausted.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally found out sadly that a good entry point was not found.

Among the five magicians, Ge Lianna was the first to take this step in the end.

The reason is that Ge Lianna is a water magician, and she can perform simple treatment after learning the 'hydrotherapy technique', and then she is honored to be Suldak's assistant, usually responsible for some treatment of injured knights.

Several magicians also saw the quick money-making ability of the Suldak Cavalry Battalion.

The cavalry have been slaughtering the ghost-striped red ants wantonly these days, and actually harvested a lot of magic materials.

They couldn't figure it out, if it was what they saw, why didn't other legions grab this piece of fat?

The Bailin plane is not prominent among the several planes controlled by Duke Newman of the Bena Province. The resources of this plane are very common, and there is no air supremacy. Even the channel for magic airships cannot be opened here.

It is not as developed as the Maca plane, nor is it as rich in resources as the Ganbu plane.

"How could such a beast tide not be noticed by other noble lords?"

Colina leaned against the window, looking at the hilly and mountainous battlefield at dusk, a team of Thunder Rhinos loaded with various goods was slowly walking towards the Dodan Canyon, and couldn't help sighing.

The sweet-faced female magician snuggled up beside her, and she also had some doubts: "Yes! When did the noble lords of Bena province become so polite? Didn't they come to share a piece of the pie?"

"I think it probably has something to do with Commander Suldak's personal ability." The monocle male magician gave an answer.

Lance smiled and said nothing.

The other magicians asked curiously: "What ability?"

The monocle male magician took it for granted and said, "Of course it's the Holy Light! Do you see how much the sour venom of these ghost-striped red ants has affected his cavalry?"

He pointed to the cavalry who were resting and eating on the hillside and said:

"Normal cavalry are exposed to these sour and rotten poisons. I am afraid that even if they do not reduce their numbers, they will lose their combat power!"

"But what about them? You have also seen that, by the way, rinse the red, swollen and festered skin with clean water, and the skin will be able to regenerate new skin the next morning. This is simply the two-in-one effect of a healing potion and an antidote potion. "

"...So, magic pharmacy is really a subject worthy of a lot of energy. If we carry a whole box of magic potions with us, we can probably create such a cavalry."

"..."

The young wizards ignored the Potions-obsessed lunatic.

Lance also discovered that Suldak had an unusual interest in ghost drones.

He felt that the main target of the cavalry battalion's hunting this time was not the ghost-striped queens in the ant colony, but the ghost-striped males who had received extra care.

In order to be able to hunt and kill all the ghost-striped drones, the cavalry disperse and isolate these huge ghost-striped drones after killing the ghost-striped drones. The team took care of them, and the cavalry were obviously capable of killing them one by one, but they had to give these ghost-striped male ants a row of numbers.

Suldak participated in the killing of almost every ghost-striped drone...

This is also what Lance can't understand the most. Whoever kills is not killed!

Suldak doesn't need merit, so why is he obsessed with killing every ghost-striped drone?

Of course, when mentioning Suldak, Lance felt that he was not a competent commander, because he seldom commanded battles.

Andrew is often responsible for the task of cavalry raiding the ant colony, and Samira is usually responsible for the task of commanding and stopping the ant colony. Occasionally, Suldak will ask him to come forward to command the cavalry brigade to transfer tasks. He is a magician and has never Learned to command an army.

But as a holy knight, Suldak is undoubtedly the most competent, he will take the initiative to treat the injured cavalry.

This topic seems to be going a little far.

In terms of strength, the ghost-striped male ant can be regarded as a monster at the beginning of the third level. Its biggest feature is that its armor is so thick that it can't be pierced by a bed crossbow. The second is that it has extraordinary power and can spit acid and rot. liquid.

In addition, the ghost pattern male ant is not qualified as a third-level monster at any point.

The most important point is that the hard armor on its body is too thick, and it is impossible to use it to make magic pattern structures. The skull has only one magic core, which is still valuable. Lance thinks its value is not even as good as the ghost pattern soldier ant, but Facing such ghost-striped drones, Suldak was particularly concerned.

And Suldak is very obsessed with dismembering these ghost-striped drones.

Lance knew that Suldak's skinning skills were not bad, but he was the supreme commander of the cavalry battalion, how could he waste precious time on skinning, the skinning divisions in the barracks could at least form a small team.

Facing the heavy and hard armor of the ghost pattern male ant, he doesn't need other people's help...

Suldak has a very luxurious tent, which can cover a whole ghost-striped drone in it. Every time these ghost-striped drones are dismembered, Suldak will get into the tent and make a mess. Mysterious.

Not all the ghost-striped drones he will do it himself. Before doing it, he will select the ghost-striped drones in advance, and he will hand over the ghost-striped drones to other skinners if he doesn't like it, and then continue hunting for the next one. , Make sure that every ghost-striped male ant has just died when it comes to him.

Of the nearly thirty ghost-striped drones, only five were picked out by him...
