Lord of Hyranza

It will take at least half a day to clean up the battlefield here, and there are still a large number of bed crossbows and catapults that need to be transported to the north exit.

In order to effectively manage these adventure groups and prevent them from running around on the battlefield or even stealing things, Suldak specially opened up a passage for these adventure groups.

And asked the West Lujin Logistics Department to set up a toll booth at the entrance to the southern end of the valley. All adventure groups who want to enter Moyun Ridge have to pay a construction fee here. The money is collected in units of heads. To enter Moyun Ridge, each person needs to pay a gold coin...

The high fees also made all the adventure groups startled, and everyone even secretly called Suldak a vampire bat in their hearts.

But at this time, the evil ghost army just experienced an unprecedented defeat. As long as they can go to the Moyunling highlands, they will basically search for those injured evil spirits...

This kind of opportunity may not be encountered several times in a lifetime. Those powerful and wealthy adventure groups heard the news, paid the fee without hesitation, and passed through the valley halfway up the mountain immediately after obtaining the pass.

After chasing from the north exit of the valley, you can see a large number of fleeing ghost warriors on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road ahead...

……

The battlefield here has been cleaned for a day, and the heads of all the ghost fighters have been put into the warehouse, and the achievements of each fighter have also been recorded.

As the hundreds of crossbows on the cliff were dragged to the north exit, the Constructed Knights rested all morning, and all the knights became full of fighting spirit...

Andrew rode his horse to the north exit of the valley, and saw Carrie Decker and Samira were here. One of them was responsible for the construction of the wall, and the other was responsible for the temporary placement of the bed crossbow. The most basic fortifications.

At least they can't let the ghost warriors destroy these precious bed crossbows as soon as they charge up.

But the bed crossbow is a powerful weapon against the attack of evil spirits. It is now deployed at the north exit, and with the help of giant ants and heavy armored infantry soldiers, it can resist the counterattack of evil spirits in the next period of time.

Samira is surveying the terrain here.

Andrew hurried over and asked Samira:

"Where's the boss?"

The half-elf archer's expression was a little dull, and she couldn't see the joy of victory in her eyes. She said to Andrew very calmly:

"I didn't say where I went, but it should appear in a while."

Andrew jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the warrior next to him, and asked Samira:

"Has the command post made a pursuit action plan?"

At this time, Carrie Decker, who was explaining the matter to an officer, turned his head and replied with a smile:

"On hold for now."

"Stop chasing?" Andrew touched his forehead with one hand, and closed his eyes in an incomprehensible look.

Carrie Decker nodded and said 'um':

"At present, the magician investigation team has begun to enter the Moyunling Highlands to investigate the terrain here and the number and distribution of the evil spirit army..."

Andrew was a little furious, and the fighting spirit in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all. It seemed that he wanted to talk to Suldak about it.

Carrie Decker immediately leaned over, put one hand on Andrew's shoulder, and whispered to him:

"I advise you to be honest for the time being. The boss has been in a bit of a mood lately. He always thinks about things with a straight face..."

"Really?" Andrew hesitated, thought for a while, and asked in a daze, "What does he usually look like?"

Carrie Decker glanced at Samira with a half-smile, and said, "I'm very busy every day, and I'll stay with Selena and Aphrodite after I'm done, oh, now I have to add Samira..."

"...Hey, I didn't say anything," Samira protested coldly to Carrie Decker.

Carrie Decker said without hesitation, "Well, that's not a bad thing."

The three legion commanders gathered together to chat in a low voice, and the surrounding officers didn't dare to approach them at all, and stood around quietly watching this side.

……

Surdak sat beside the cliff of a mountain ridge to the west of the valley, and he couldn't find any traces of it.

The day he dumped kerosene and set fire to the cart full of corpses came to mind, and now he just wanted to find the remains of the pile of ashes, even if it was a little bit of bones.

But the rock wall here is already covered with knee-high fine thatch, as well as some thorny vines, wild flowers, moss and so on.

He felt that the ashes had already been integrated into the grass and trees. There was almost no special place on the cliff several hundred meters away. There was a slight deviation in the location in his memory, and he hadn't gained anything for the whole afternoon.

Selena stood quietly aside, without any inquiries or relief.

The golden sunset inlaid a golden border on her body, and she just silently followed behind the man who was walking back and forth across the grass.

On the grass not far away, Signa was riding a pony, playing happily.

Nika is not here, she will be busy every time after a war, and today is no exception.

Originally, at this time, Suldak should also be in the treatment tent, but this time he was a little confused, so he simply took Selena out for a walk.

He found the battlefield in his memory, but he didn't expect the fire to burn so thoroughly that he couldn't even find half of the bones.

Right in the grass, he finally saw a sliver of metallic light. He pushed aside the grass and saw a few rusty armor pieces hidden in the soil. He took out a shovel from his magic belt and dug down, and saw again. A blade of the sword was so rusted that it was almost invisible, the spearhead left after the rotten wooden handle was covered with verdigris, and there were even two wheel frames that were almost rotten and not completely burned out.

Several skeletons are not complete.

Suldak felt that it should be right here.

He lifted the sod here with a shovel and began to dig.

Selena was also silently helping. When she saw some bones, she bent down to pick them out. She could see that Suldak was in a bad mood at the moment, and her eyes were full of nostalgia for the past.

Thinking that someone he cared about must be buried here, he took out an unused picnic cloth and placed all the bones on it, including the scrap iron.

Facing those human bones, Selena wasn't too afraid, and even used her hands to clean up the dirt on the bones.

Suldak didn't stop until he dug a big hole here and couldn't find anything else of value.

No coffin was prepared, it had already rotted to this extent, and many bones were even taken away by the little beasts, making it incomplete.

Suldak rewrapped everything with Selina's tablecloth, then put it into the big pit he dug out, covered it with soil, and even piled up a round mound of soil, and A rock was also pressed on top of the mound.

After building such a tomb, Suldak actually took out a tombstone that had been prepared a long time ago from his magic pocket, and many people's names were even engraved on it:

Sidney, Bearded Cagle, Augustus, Craigie, Billy, Duck Jr...

After erecting the stele, Suldak sat down in front of the stele, his eyes slightly moist.

At this time, Signa also calmed down, led the pony to Suldak's side, took the initiative to hold his big hand, and knelt down there.

Selena also knelt down, and Suldak sat in front of the tombstone for a long time with his arms around Selena's soft shoulders.

Then he took the mother and daughter to the edge of the cliff not far away, looking down from here, the bottom is not bottomless, the cliff is covered with dense bushes, his voice is a bit sad:

"At that time, I jumped from here. I grabbed some branches during the fall, and finally fell on the branches below, and escaped from here..."

"I first fled to the forest farm camp, and found that there was also ruins there, so I immediately got into the big meadow."

"There I met Hathaway and the injured Beatrice, as well as Darcy Christie, but when Darcy Christie and her sister group left alone, I took Hathaway and Bea Triss, and the John I met in Epsom City, we ran south together, and we ran all the way to Handanal City."

"There I got a pass for the portal. At the end of my military service, I saved a sum of money and left this plane..."

Chapter 1477 Choice

As the news that the West Route Army had opened the gate of Moyun Ridge spread to Handanal City, the people who were still immersed in the joy of regaining Kornberg County were boiling again.

People here can not care about Kornberg, after all, it is a matter of other provinces, but no one cares about Moyun Ridge, 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 Moyun Ridge...

At this time, the noble lords in Handanar City began to have some new ideas. 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, without running over to cut 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 bum 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 the delicious food in the hands of beggars and homeless people on the roadside, this is simply a humiliation for Chi Guoguo.

……

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

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 northern exit of the valley is only more than 200 meters. It is a standard funnel shape, with steep cliffs on both sides, and is closely connected with the mountains at the southern foot of Moyunling. Beyond the valley, walk out of Moyun Ridge.

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.

It took only three days to build the wooden wall. 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, and 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 when they hold up 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 in the construction process 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 specifically for this matter.

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

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

When building the inside of the city wall, it is more casual, as long as the gap between the two rows of iron cages is filled with stones.

The stones don't need to be smoothed, they can be of any shape, and they fill the gaps between the stones with pozzolan cement.

This stone wall actually took only half a month, and with the cooperation of 13 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 plateau reacted, 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 able 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, 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 army of evil spirits on Moyun Ridge.

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

In the past few years, the Bena 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 Handanal 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 that 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...

Behind Duke Newman stood several staff officers from the war room.

At this time, they had recovered 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 in the back nodded again and again, and echoed:

"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."

There were also staff officers who held negative opinions, and everyone debated 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 those 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 battle, 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.
