Lord of Hyranza

Now this forest road has been completely abandoned, the forest road is full of weeds, and the roadbed is covered with vines on both sides.

A group of ghostweave soldiers led the way in front of the army under the command of a druid.

This forest road seems to have been completely forgotten by everyone. When Suldak drew this line accurately on the map with a pen, the magician investigation team was still a little disbelieving, because after nearly a month of repeated investigations, , The magicians never found such a way in the forest area.

But Commander Suldak was very sure that this forest road must exist in the mountains.

There was no need to prepare anything in advance. On the day the army was dispatched, a team of soldier ants were sent to clear the weeds on the forest road.

As the soldiers and ants used their scissor-like fangs to gradually clear away the weeds on the forest road, a forest road leading straight to Moyunling appeared in everyone's sight as if it had been endowed with magic. The officers of the West Route Army They became more convinced of Suldak.

The forest road here is still so familiar. There are even some small trees with the thickness of arms growing on the forest road. The trees on both sides of the forest road are towering, and the crowns above the head have even been connected together, completely covering the forest road.

Suldak rode a magic-patterned horse with the army. This time, at the request of the little lords in the West Route Army, thirteen heavy-armored infantry regiments were used as the advance army to follow the two formations in Suldak. Behind the Knights and a full ant cavalry regiment, they walked into Moyun Ridge first.

The first batch of supplies for the ghost pattern soldier ants arrived at the forest farm camp three days ago, which meant that the army of soldier ants had finally been recognized by the Bena Army.

Although they have not yet been established, the military department defines these soldier ants as horse-like mounts for the heavy armored infantry regiment of the Lord Suldak Army.

In any case, getting the military's approval finally made Suldak heave a sigh of relief.

Next, there is no need for him to bother to raise supplies for the ghost pattern soldier ants.

In addition, this time the military department also sent one hundred bed crossbows and one hundred catapults to the West Route Army. Suldak guessed that these catapults and bed crossbows were already in the supplies of Handanar City. It has been stored in the warehouse for a long time, and Duke Newman has been waiting for this opportunity before taking out these strategic materials.

With this batch of bed crossbows, Suldak has greater confidence in stopping the Moyunling evil spirit army.

With the businessman Malakom opening up the trading channel in the imperial capital, now whether it is buying standard magic pattern structures or giant magic crossbow bolts, Thunder Rhino Merchant Group can not only get the goods in the first time, but also has the support of big customers. Benefits.

For Suldak, although the cost of using this type of war weapon has been greatly increased, the deterrent effect against evil spirits has also been doubled.

In order to allow the heavy armored infantry regiment under their command to keep up with the marching speed of the Constructed Knights, the little lords of the West Route Army deliberately bought a large number of horses from the ranchers on the large meadow. Now this group of heavy armored infantrymen All own horses.

When passing through the forest road, you can also see a neat team of horses passing through the forest.

The large groups of red-eyed hyenas in the mountains have now disappeared. At the beginning, these red-eyed hyenas, which were not considered monsters, posed a great threat to the heavy armored infantry regiment in the forest camp, mainly because the number of red-eyed hyenas in this mountain was too large. huge.

Now the red-eyed hyenas in the mountains have obviously been eaten up by the evil spirits, and there are no traces of them in the mountains.

Suldak sighed softly, he thought of the earth storm bear that had helped him escape from this mountain range, maybe that bear had also become food in the belly of the evil spirits.

Through the gap between the forest roads, Moyun Ridge in the distance still pierces into the sky.

……

The countermeasure that Suldak formulated this time was not only to lead the West Route Army to actively attack Moyun Ridge, so as to contain the evil spirit army on Moyun Ridge.

He spent more than a month supporting the adventure group of Handanal County to hunt evil spirits in the northern part of the Great Meadow and the northern mountains of Ganda Er Mountain. Not only did he require a rich variety of free market transactions opposite the forest camp, but More importantly, the forestry camp is willing to treat the injured members of the adventure group.

Of course, these alone are not enough to attract all adventure groups.

Another policy of Suldak made these adventure groups unwilling to leave easily.

Because he promised the adventure group stationed in the forest camp that the evil spirits hunted by the adventure group can be traded with the lord army in the forest camp.

And the lords can exchange merits and receive rewards on the merit list...

After this opening was released by Suldak, it meant that while hunting evil spirits, the adventure group could enjoy the welfare of the soldiers of the Lord Army as long as they traded the loot to the Lord Army of the forest farm camp.

Moreover, some small lords in the West Route Army also need unidentified black magic crystals to be promoted to the title, and they are willing to spend some money to buy black magic crystals.

The adventure group handed over the spoils to the lord army, and they can get some rewards on the merit list. Many adventure groups set their sights on the top ten magic pattern structures on the merit list. According to Suldak's exchange rate for the adventure group Well, these adventure groups only need to kill [-] evil spirits and turn in all the spoils to exchange for a complete set of magic pattern construction, which is much cheaper than using magic spar to bid in the auction house.

It was this news that caused the adventure group from Handanar City to flood into Gandar Er Mountain in large numbers.

According to the preliminary statistics of the tavern owner in the free market of the forest camp, there were at least several hundred adventure groups who came to the forest camp in just one month.

As soon as these adventure groups plunged into the Ganda Er Mountain, they became hunting groups hunting evil ghost scout teams.

For an adventure group with the ability to hunt evil spirits, at least one constructed swordsman will be in the team.

The Bena province is most famous for the Bena swordsmen. These constructed swordsmen may not be as good as the constructed knights in the army, but they are far more important than the constructed knights in the adventure group, so this is also the Bena swordsman. One of the reasons why the province has much more adventure groups than other provinces.

With the large number of adventure groups pouring into Mount Gandhar, the scout teams of the Evil Ghost Legion all over the mountains had to be forced to shrink to the Moyun Ridge area.

The scope of activities of the Evil Ghost Scouting Team has been continuously backlogged by the adventure group, gradually losing control of Ganda Ershan.

In fact, the most incomprehensible thing for the adventure group is that even though there is no one guarding the Yangchang Canyon now, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge dare not step into the Yangchang Canyon.

The arrival of Suldak's West Route Army at the foot of Moyunling Mountain happened to be the first day of the New Year of the Green Empire.

And that day happened to be the day Quentin Busman succeeded the Duke of Busman.

……

Probably knowing the movements of the West Route Army, the East Route Army Marquis Edmund Arnold also launched an offensive posture on the western defense line of Handanal County.

However, the eastern foothills of Handanal County are completely different from the northern mountains. The Eastern Route Army is stationed in a fortress in a canyon. This fortress was named 'Naroda' by Duke Newman.

In fact, as long as the Naroda Fortress is defended, Marquis Edmund Arnold's Eastern Route Army has completed the task assigned by the military department.

The Marquis of Edmund Arnold is obviously not satisfied with this merit. This time, there are still a group of Constructed Knights who came to the Warsaw plane with the Eastern Route Army. Ordinary achievements cannot satisfy their appetite.

Chapter 1430 Moyun Ridge

The giant mountain on the opposite side is the highest peak in the north of the Ganda Er Mountains - Moyun Ridge.

It is hidden in the mountains, but it is alone among the mountains.

There are countless overlapping peaks on the Gandar Er Mountains. Moyun Ridge is nearly a thousand meters high from a group of mountains, and the peaks soar into the clouds.

Standing at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, it is already difficult to have a panoramic view of this mountain.

When Suerdak entered Moyun Ridge with the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, he didn't think it was so tall and majestic. The magician scouting team flew around this Moyun Ridge for nearly 20 days before it was worthy. Flying around the main peak of Moyunling.

Before that, Suldak thought that Moyun Ridge was just a main peak, but according to the information obtained from the magician investigation team, the peak hidden in the clouds should be at least as large as the Sai Ruoman Plateau in Ganbu Plane. Big, that is to say, there is likely to be a vast wilderness hidden in the main peak of Moyun Ridge that goes straight into the clouds.

So the plan of the Bena Legion in the forest camp to attack Moyunling was really a bit hasty.

The barracks of the West Route Army was built in a north-facing woodland at the foot of the southern Moyun Mountain. This is a gentle slope full of oak forests. The oak trees in the woodland are thick and tall, and there are some moss and ferns in the woodland. , there are no low bushes and vines, and there is a river not far away, facing Moyun Ridge, and there is an open valley of nearly ten kilometers in front.

Even if there is an army of evil spirits rushing down from Moyun Ridge, they will be exposed in this valley where people can hardly hide.

In the barracks of the West Route Army, thousands of heavy armored infantry soldiers are constructing the camp wall in full swing. Nine meters high wooden fence.

A row of wooden thorns inclined at an angle of 45 degrees are buried under the foundation of the outer side of this wooden fence. Each wooden thorn is six meters long and is almost as thick as a human thigh. Very sharp.

On the inner side of the wooden fence, a platform is built on the top. The platform made of wooden planks is made of pillars. There is a wall climbing ladder every 50 meters, and the wooden fence is also arranged. There are quite a few arrow towers.

There are several highly skilled carpenters in the legion, and this temporary camp was built like a stronghold with complete fortifications.

Nearly [-] heavy armored infantry soldiers have been living in this camp. Each arrow tower on the wall has installed a magic bed crossbow. Almost half of the one hundred bed crossbows sent by the military department to the West Route Army They are installed on the arrow tower of the camp.

When the camp was first built, there were ghost scouts running over from time to time to harass them. Suldak ordered people to put out a hundred bed crossbows, and shot and killed dozens of ghost fighters who attacked the camp. The ghost warrior became much more honest.

In order to prevent the West Route Army from camping in the camp, the evil ghost army on Moyunling sent out batch after batch of evil ghost soldiers.

For this reason, Andrew led two Constructed Knights to have dozens of small-scale skirmishes with the evil ghost army on Moyunling during the half month. Cheap.

Although the strength of the constructed knights is similar to that of the ghost warriors, the two sides are only evenly matched in a frontal battle.

If the Constructed Knight didn't open up the battlefield to charge, the Ghost Warrior would even have a certain advantage on the battlefield.

It's just that Andrew and the Constructed Knights play very flexibly. Sometimes they will lead these ghost fighters into the battlefield where soldier ants are ambushed. These soldier ants are almost lurking underground, just waiting for the ghost fighters to enter the ambush circle. Suddenly crawling out of the hole, their fighting style is also extremely barbaric, completely dragging the ghost warrior with their bodies desperately, waiting for the constructed knight who rushes out from behind to harvest the life of the ghost warrior.

Sometimes the Constructed Knights would lead evil spirits into the valley full of gunpowder barrels. The wide-view valley in front of the West Route Army camp was almost destroyed by black powder. The originally sparse woods had already turned into scorched earth. There are even small pits surrounded by big pits, and many broken limbs and arms of evil spirits are even buried in the soil.

This conflict continued until the wooden fence on the front side of the camp was built, and twelve arrow towers were erected, and twelve magic bed crossbows were arranged on the arrow towers.

Only then did the number of ghost fighters running over to harass them gradually decrease.

In fact, during this period of time, a large group of ghost warriors appeared at the foot of the Moyun Ridge, planning to take advantage of the fact that Suldak's lord army failed to gain a firm foothold here, and completely wiped out this group of advance troops.

It's just that on both sides of this forest at this moment, there are not only two army ants looking at each other, but also a group of magicians riding magic horns and turning around in the sky.

This group of magicians even threw a row of gunpowder barrels neatly into the camp of the evil ghost soldiers. Before the evil ghost army could form an attacking formation, the magicians blasted the scene into chaos.

Although not many evil spirits died from the explosion of black powder kegs on the battlefield, the mages successfully prevented a large-scale attack of the evil spirit army.

Now the military camp is finally built. Not only the surrounding walls have been built, but the number of tents in the camp is gradually decreasing. With the construction of wooden houses, this temporary camp looks a lot more regular.

In Suldak's lord's army, there are many aborigines from the Bailin plane, southern rebels from the Ganbu plane, and villagers from the barren land.

This group of people are all good at building wooden houses. It only takes half a day to build a wooden house for 60 people, and at least nearly a hundred of them can be built in the camp at the same time.

Now the entire hillside is occupied by Suldak's West Route Army, and countless wooden houses are hidden in the woods.

……

Andrew strode into Suldak's command post that had just been built, greeted Selena who was sitting aside and counting logistics supplies, and came to Suldak's side.

Suldak was in front of the map, raising his head and drawing the general outline of Moyun Ridge on the unknown area of ​​the map.

The map information was provided by the magician scouting team. Suldak had originally prepared an attack plan, but after learning that Moyunling covers such a vast area, he immediately changed the attack plan.

"Boss, should we try to kill it now? Let me take the Construct Knight to be the vanguard first. Even if the evil spirits on the other side are well prepared, I am sure to withdraw completely."

Andrew stood by Suldak's side and said loudly.

Suldak looked away from the map, waved his hand at Andrew, pointed to the chair in the command post, and told him to sit down.

Then he said to Andrew: "The magician investigation team is investigating the details of Moyun Ridge. The terrain in this area is more complicated than I thought. The evil spirits have been here for so long, and they must be more familiar with this place than us. Here, it is obviously not worthwhile for us to rush in this time just to kill a few more evil spirits, and it will also arouse the high vigilance of the evil spirit army."

Surdak dipped a little ink with a quill pen, then drew a small circle on the map, pointed to this area and said:

"As long as we are stationed here, even if we can control the evil spirits from slipping out from the south side of Moyun Ridge, after the fortifications we built here are completely completed, this place will become the main battlefield of the West Route Army."

Andrew followed Suldak's fingers and found that what Suldak was talking about was the valley in front of the camp.

The place has been blown to pieces by black powder now, and every time the ghost fighters rush out from Moyun Ridge, they will take the initiative to avoid that battlefield.

He didn't think it would become the main battlefield against the army of evil spirits.

At this time, Samira and Carrie Decker walked in side by side from outside the command post, and Suldak asked her:

"Have the rest of the magic bed crossbows been placed?"

"It's all installed." Samira responded.

Because the magic bed crossbow moves a bit slowly, it needs to be dragged by the horse every time, which is extremely inconvenient on the battlefield, especially in jungle warfare.

So this time Suldak simply installed half of the bed crossbows on the arrow tower, and the other part of the bed crossbows was also arranged around the camp by Samira to become a fixed fort.

All the trees in the valley below the hillside were also cut down by the soldiers, and the range of the bed crossbow just reached the edge of the valley.

It can be said that Suldak spent a lot of manpower and material resources in order to clear this battlefield.

"I want to suppress the evil spirit army here in Moyun Ridge. Only in this way can those adventure groups enter the hunting grounds in the northern part of Ganda Er Mountain with confidence. This time I need them and these adventure groups to be our eyes, regardless of the evil spirits. Wherever the soldiers go, they can't escape their sight!" Suldak told Andrew his plan.

Recently, he has been encouraging the adventure group to be stationed in the forest camp. For this reason, he did not hesitate to separate part of the treatment team with limited resources from the West Route Army to provide paid treatment for the injured members of the adventure group.

Suldak rubbed his forehead and asked Samira, "Do you know what's going on near Moyun Ridge?"

Samira thought for a while, then replied:

"The biggest problem facing the evil ghost army recently is still food. Since the evil spirits from the Samosto River all evacuated that area, the hunting group on the Yangchang Canyon has also suffered heavy losses. According to the report of the magician investigation team, it can be judged Come out, now only the mountains to the north of Moyun Ridge remain in the hunting area of ​​the Evil Ghost Legion."

"The evil spirits may need to increase their hunting range in the northern part of Moyun Ridge. I think this may be a good opportunity for us..."

Suldak thought for a while, and then asked Samira again: "Can the Magician Detective Team give you the detailed information in Moyun Ridge?"

"The vegetation over there is dense, and the magicians are worried that evil spirits will suddenly appear, so they dare not approach the top of the canopy easily." Samira said expressionlessly: "I heard that the highest peak is shrouded in clouds and mist. Teachers dare not fly in."

"In addition, when the magician was investigating the mountains to the north of Moyun Ridge, he also found traces of the tribe's aborigines in that mountain range, but there is still a not-so-short distance from Moyun Ridge."

Suldak nodded, walked in front of Andrew, patted his shoulder and said:

"What we need to do now is to firmly tie this evil ghost army here. This is the task that Duke Newman entrusted to our West Route Army. Only when we do this can we consider other things... such as how to weaken Morocco The Yunling Demon Legion has strength."

"I don't have the slightest interest in that piece of Moyun Ridge right now, but if I can do it without losing manpower, of course I still hope to hunt as many evil spirits as possible..."

Andrew asked in a low voice with some reluctance: "Don't you want to see the door of evil spirits hidden on the top of the mountain?"

Suldak waved his hand again, and quickly said to Andrew: "No...how is it possible?...I'm not interested in the top of Moyunling at all right now!"

Hearing what Suldak said, Andrew could only give up his aggressive offensive plan.

Originally, he had made an agreement with the wolf knight Tiger this time, and the two continued to cooperate this time, just like fighting a beautiful cooperative battle in Yangchang Canyon.

Unexpectedly, when he ran to Suldak, he got a bad nose, turned around and left the command post sullenly.

Suldak's eyes fell on the blank area to the north of Moyun Ridge, and there is no detailed information on that area on the map of the Bena Legion.

There are several hexagonal magic crystals on the table, and many magic images are stored in these crystals.

Suldak pulled out a crystal from it, and was about to check the contents, when Samira approached and asked:
