Lord of Hyranza

Samira walked out of the camp with a coffee cup and a bow on her back. She needed to check the surroundings.

Suldak sat opposite the young magician and chatted with him.

The character of this magician is quite cheerful, he smiled and said to Suldak:

"Commander Suerdak, the three of us have been flying in the northern mountainous area of ​​Moyunling for nearly two weeks, and we will not be able to find you tonight. We are going back to the camp, in the northwest area of ​​Moyunling The searching magicians will come here to replace us."

Suldak took a sip of the hot bitter coffee, and said to the magician: "When I designed this plan, I didn't expect that Moyun Ridge would be so big. Hundreds of kilometers away, if you want to find us in such a large area, it is not easy to contact us even with magic flares..."

The magician chuckled and said nothing.

"Master Basil, how is the situation in the camp?" Suldak remembered the name of the magician.

The magician Basil said: "The evil spirits don't seem to want us to block the mountain pass at the southern foot of Moyun Ridge. They are fighting almost every day. Their attacks are fierce and their numbers are large. Recently, there have been heavy casualties every day. Before we came out, there were less than [-] soldiers and ants left, and the heavy armored infantry regiment of the Lord Army also suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, we buried the gunpowder barrels on the hillside in front of the garrison camp in advance. When you touch it, it’s all blown back.”

Suldak nodded, this was already in his expectation.

Since the Bena Army is going to capture Kornberg, it's no wonder that the evil ghost army on the Moyunling side is not in a hurry.

"Did the Legion of Demons try to sneak through Gandar Er Mountain?" Suldak asked him.

"We only came out once before, but after being beaten back by Captain Andrew with the Ant Cavalry and Constructed Knights, we didn't dare to come out again." When Magician Basil said about Andrew, his tone was full of admiration.

It seems that many magicians in the investigation team admire Andrew very much, and appreciate his desperate and fierce fighting style.

"What's the situation in Handanar City?" Suldak didn't ask about the details of the battle, but asked about the situation in Handanar City.

The Magician Scouting Group can be said to be the most well-informed group of people in the entire camp. After all, the status of the magicians is here, and they are naturally able to access some secrets in the legion.

The magician Basil continued: "It is said that the Benar Legion has crossed the Moss River across the board and has begun to enter the Seven Islands River Bay area in the north of Kornberg County. The cavalry regiment has rushed from Epsom County into Basa Musa County, and is advancing south along the Kempato River, and now the ghost army in each county is almost fighting independently."

While listening to Basil's narration, Suldak took out the map of Handanar County, wanting to see the current location of the Benar Legion.

Although the Bena Army crossed the Moss River, judging from the map, their advancing speed was not fast.

In order to divide the cake, the Cavalry Alliance pointed its sword at Basa Musa County, so that the pressure on the Bena Legion on the battlefield was not so great.

"Did the military headquarters say when the follow-up reinforcements will arrive?" Suldak asked again.

Basil shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this, there is no such news in the latest information..."

He was silent for a while, drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, and then said: "However, the number of catapults and bed crossbows sent up from Handanar City has increased to [-], and now there are half of the bed crossbow frames On the wall of the Moyunling camp."

Suldak knew in his heart that Duke Newman had taken out all his wealth this time.

What made him faintly worried was that the ghost pattern soldier ants were consumed a bit fast. Although it was planned before coming here, these soldier ants would serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield. Now Suldak is thinking that once the soldier ants are completely consumed , You need the heavy armored infantry regiment of the West Route Army to go up.

After resting for a day, in the evening, Suldak and Samira set off again.

The flying speed of the magic scorpion is not much slower than that of the magic airship. The only disadvantage is that it costs a magician...

The three mages took turns to fly at night. They hid in the jungle at the foot of the mountain to rest during the day, recovered their mana through meditation, and then quietly lifted off at night. They stayed nocturnal like this for ten consecutive days.

Back at the foot of the southern foot of Moyunling, Suerdak has been away for nearly two months this time.

……

The wooden fence in front of the barracks had been broken for a while, and the soldiers erected three rows of giant logs here. A layer of planks was nailed to the top of the giant logs to become a real wooden fence.

A bed crossbow was lined up on the wooden fence, and behind the bed crossbow was a stack of giant crossbow bolts, but these were ordinary crossbow bolts, and almost all the giant crossbows with magic pattern circles were destroyed in the battle.

An earthen platform was built in front of the large tent of the military camp in the camp, and there were densely packed catapults here, and the flint not far away seemed to be well prepared.

There were bursts of shouts and killings on the battlefield ahead, but the camp seemed very quiet. After eating in the cafeteria, the infantry soldiers who took turns had to stand in front of the merit redemption list for a while, discussing those who were still on the merit list. There are no redeemable rewards.

Recently, many magic weapons on the merit list have been exchanged by people. The prizes on the list have not been updated this month. Some infantry soldiers want to exchange for some selected magic weapons as soon as possible.

A low-lying valley below the hillside to the north of the garrison camp. There were some sparse trees here, but they were cut down by soldiers two months ago. Now this valley has become a battlefield. A group of heavy soldiers holding tower shields The armored infantry followed behind a row of ghost-pattern soldiers and ants, and were slowly approaching the group of ghost warriors in front.

Behind the tower shield warriors came a group of spear warriors holding Paglio's spears.

The archer phalanx at the back was formed temporarily. Although Suldak's lord army had an archer corps, they did not follow this expedition to Moyun Ridge. The reason was that the temporary teleportation circle could not pass through the armed Thunder Rhino.

The battlefield is already a piece of scorched earth, and the stumps of some evil spirits and soldier ants are still in the scorched earth. However, infantrymen who are injured or killed in battle will be carried back to the camp by soldiers from the logistics department. The infantrymen who died in battle will be burned to the ground that night. The ashes were put into jars, and the wounded infantrymen were sent to the medical team.

In this battle, the ant cavalry and constructed knights on the camp side did not dispatch.

The row of bed crossbows on the wall of the camp could not reach the battlefield. Only the catapult at the gate of the camp was able to throw flints on the battlefield after adjusting the throwing distance.

Every day, evil spirits were crushed to death by flints. By now, these evil spirits had judged the range of the catapult, and they didn't rush up because they didn't want to be hit by the flint rain.

They were waiting for the soldier ants to slowly approach, and only when they got entangled with the soldier ants for the first time, the catapults at the camp would not throw flints.

If Carrie Decker was in command, the army of soldiers and ants would definitely not have reached the front of the battlefield at this time. She would have patiently waited for the evil spirits to rush up and experience a wave of flint rain before starting a brutal melee.

But today's commander is Andrew, and the wolf knight Tiger and the two-headed ogre Gullitum are by his side, so Andrew is going to give some color to the evil spirits this time...

As the number of evil spirits gathered at the southern foot of Moyunling is increasing, the usual war of attrition has been unable to restrain the increase in the number of evil spirits. If this continues, the number of evil spirits will become more and more obvious. That's why Andrew wanted to Fight a big battle on the battlefield.

When the soldiers and ants reached the center of the battlefield, the ghost warriors rushed up with big strides.

The phalanx of archers in the rear shot out a rain of arrows, and more than a dozen magicians in the sky dropped explosive barrels one after another...

Due to the existence of magicians and explosive barrels, the camp of evil spirits was bombed by magicians almost every day, so that the group of evil spirits had to disperse and hide in the dense forest at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.

The soldier ants and the ghost warrior collided with each other in the next moment, and countless soldier ants were chopped off by the ghost's war blade.

A group of spear warriors took the opportunity to emerge from behind the soldier ants, pierced the bodies of the evil spirits with their sharp Paglio spears, and then the shield warriors stepped up, and the swordsmen behind them chopped off the heads of the evil spirits.

The battle was very fierce. The soldiers ants in the front were strangled by the evil spirits. Under the order of the herald, the heavy armored infantry soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Naturally, the evil ghost fighters were unwilling to let the group of heavy armored infantry leave the battle easily, and the magicians who retreated behind the army released a wall of fire on the battlefield.

A group of unwilling ghost warriors fought their bodies to be ignited by the fire and broke through the wall of fire.

As the infantry soldiers kept retreating, the gunpowder barrels buried on the battlefield were detonated again, and the smoke and dust and splashing mud that shot up into the sky instantly engulfed these evil spirits...

Chapter 1441 Battle Situation

In the evening, the last group of heavy armored infantry soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies back from the battlefield, and the heavy wooden gate of the garrison camp was tightly closed.

The group of ghost warriors scattered on the battlefield in the valley also retreated to the mountains and woods where they were hiding with deep roars.

Due to the repeated bombing by the mage group half a month ago, the evil ghost fighters have changed from a dense camp to a loose distribution in the dense forest on the hillside. magicians.

The evil spirits who had been taught a few times by the fog of war finally knew that their night battles had no chance of winning. After nightfall, these evil spirits would retreat back to the dense forest in Moyunling.

Every evening when the sun goes down is a rare rest time for soldiers.

The facilities in the garrison camp were gradually improved. Today's camp has not only built a dining hall, but also public toilets and bathrooms. The division of each legion's camp is also very clear.

Sitting and chatting in front of the merit list at the entrance of the canteen every day seems to have become a habit of the soldiers.

All fighters have recently been paying attention to the remaining prizes on the merit list. As the prizes become less and less, everyone finds that the options for rewards that they can redeem are getting smaller and smaller, except for those who are going to exchange for magic crystals or gold coins from the very beginning. That group of people, everyone else has a sense of urgency, and everyone is hurrying to raise merit these days.

The command post located in the center of the barracks is an independent area. A back-shaped wooden house is built here, with an inner courtyard of less than [-] square meters. This is an independent place for women.

On the commander's left is Nika's medical team treatment tent, and Nika and the group of therapists also live in the dormitory on the side of the command post.

During the recent period, almost every night a group of commanders from the legion gathered in the command post, some of them were reporting on the battle situation of the day, and the head of the mage, Avid, would provide the latest intelligence information to the commanders present.

The meeting was chaired by Andrew and Carrie Decker.

"Is there no news from Commander Suldak from the reconnaissance team?" Carrie Dekelpi pressed his forehead with one hand and asked the mage leader Evid.

Her blond hair cascaded down, she wore a light sheepskin waistcoat over baggy knickerbockers, and she smelled of post-bath soap.

There was a bandage on her right arm from the wound from yesterday's fight.

A ghost general cut a half-foot wound on her arm with a war blade, the wound was as deep as the bone.

If the evil ghost general had struck more decisively and severely, Carrie Decker's arm would have been lost on the battlefield.

The magician Avid has been used to this kind of questioning recently, and he scratched his head helplessly. If it weren't for the scheduling work here that needs him to complete, at this moment, he can't wait to go to the north of Moyunling to transfer Sur Dak got it back.

"Well, I have sent out five search teams successively to search in the northern area of ​​Moyunling in turn, and have not received any news until now..."

Avid is sitting next to the sand table of the command post. This sand table has now completely reproduced the topographic map around Moyun Ridge, but the Moyun Ridge in the middle, which is shaped like a leg of lamb, is still blank, and only a continuous line of fine sand is piled up. mountains.

The magician investigation team has not yet flown to Moyun Ridge to go to the peak to investigate the situation there. It is estimated that Moyun Ridge is likely to be a plateau surrounded by mountains.

I knew that the magician Avid would say this, a group of regiment leaders and commanders all looked calm and expressionless.

"The powder kegs in the warehouse have been exhausted, and the next battle with the evil spirits is to consider how to get out of the battle." Selena sat beside Carrie Decker, holding a ledger in her hand, which was almost drawn It was full of horizontal lines, she had to remind the lords and commanders present.

Fortunately, the supply of food and general military supplies is sufficient, and these supplies are continuously shipped from Handanar City every week.

The Viscount Bansko is a small lord in the West Route Army. Recently, the Bansko lord led his heavy armored infantry regiment and performed extremely well on the battlefield. At least he has won the affirmation of other foreign lords and Andrew.

Viscount Bansko sat in front of the round table with a plate in front of him, put down the knife, wiped the bread crumbs from his beard, and said to everyone: "Recently, the number of evil spirits coming down from Moyun Ridge has increased dramatically. It can be seen that , Those are a group of evil spirits who haven’t had enough to eat, and it is estimated that the senior management of the evil spirit army is also giving it a go. Instead of starving to death on Moyun Ridge, it is better to transfer them to the battlefield.”

His lord army participated in the battle as the second echelon today, and he just came down from the battlefield at this moment, and he ran to the meeting before he could take off the magic pattern structure on his body.

"At present, there are more and more evil spirits entering the battlefield. If it weren't for the deterrence of the mage regiment's bombing group, these evil spirits are likely to become more unscrupulous." Another commander said worriedly.

The commanders in the command post started discussing in private, and everyone's tone was full of worries about the situation of the war.

Everyone has just gotten used to fighting with the soldier ants, but now it is obvious that the evil spirits on the opposite side cannot be suppressed...

"Then what are we going to do next?" Someone from the commander made a voice.

"Why don't we just stick to the barracks?" Some commanders also put forward their own ideas.

Andrew waved his hand and said, "I don't recommend sticking to it, how could this city be able to stop those evil spirits..."

The soul of a berserker is hidden in his body, it is impossible for him to shrink in the camp and be beaten passively.

"Nika, how is the situation at the wounded barracks?" Carrie Decker asked the nice girl Nika sitting next to Selena.

Nika quickly stood up and said nervously: "The number of wounded soldiers has increased dramatically in the past week, and the number of wounded soldiers' battalions has expanded to seventeen. I have asked the druids from the southern tribe of Bailin to help heal the wounded. They are good at using Herbal treatment."

Everyone was relieved to hear that the medical team is still operating normally. This can be said to be one of the few good news.

"Anyway, we have to bury the last batch of explosives on the position tonight." Andrew asked Selena.

Selena could only nod her head, indicating that she understood.

Carrie Decker knocked on the table, and told the heads of several heavy armored infantry regiments who will fight tomorrow:

"When we go to battle tomorrow, push all the more than 40 spare bed crossbows in the camp to the battlefield."

Viscount Bansko frowned and said:

"The bed crossbow is so heavy, it's easy to push it out, but once the evil ghost rushes up, we won't be able to withdraw those bed crossbows even if we want to."

He was reluctant to discard the bed crossbow on the battlefield like this, and disagreed with Carrie Decker's approach.

A group of group leaders also echoed.

Carrie Decker knocked on the table to make the command post quiet, and then said: "If the bed crossbow is pulled by Gu Bolai's horse, it is indeed very clumsy, but if those ant cavalry pull the bed crossbow to On the battlefield, when you want to evacuate, the ant cavalry will pull the bed crossbow back, so there is probably no such thing as 'inconvenient movement'."

Andrew's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "This is a way! You can try it tomorrow..."

……

After nightfall, bonfires were lit everywhere in the barracks.

There are a lot of pine trees in this mountain, and those pine trees full of oil are very flame-resistant, and even the air is filled with a pine oil fragrance.

When they arrived at the southern foot of Moyun Ridge, the three magicians began to travel during the day. They flew all day during the day, only stopping twice to drink water and eat dry food, and flew until it was completely dark before returning to the camp.

Although it was night, under the reflection of countless bonfires, Suldak could clearly see the scale of the entire garrison camp.

In just two months, the garrison camp on Moyun Ridge has been expanded into a large city that can accommodate [-] soldiers. The camp is very neatly planned, and each infantry regiment has its own area.

Originally, Suldak was planning to go directly back to the command post, but seeing the bright lights on the side of the camp warehouse, Selina was standing at the door of the warehouse and was counting the supplies by herself, so she asked the magician Basil to land on the side of the warehouse.

The guards in the camp didn't pay much attention when they saw a few magicians flying in.

……

The last batch of gunpowder was emptied by the infantry soldiers. Selina sighed, with a hint of anxiety on her brows.

Not only is he full of worries about the war in the next few days, but he is also worried about the safety of Suldak. In addition, the number of goddess visits has also decreased significantly in the recent period.

Seeing the last batch of gunpowder being brought out, she quickly adjusted her emotions to calm herself down.

Next, she will go outside the barracks to release the fog of war so that the soldiers can bury the gunpowder on the battlefield.

Recently, the soldiers have been sneaking out at night to bury the gunpowder in advance on the battlefield in front of the barracks.

Every time they fought against the evil spirits, the heavy armored infantry soldiers would retreat only when all the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants in front were dead.

Of course, the ghost fighters will not allow the infantry soldiers to evacuate the battlefield easily. At this time, the magicians behind the battlefield will release the firewall to forcibly isolate them.

Once the ghost fighters rush through the wall of fire, the mages will ignite the explosives buried on the battlefield...
