Lord of Hyranza

So Duke Newman just listened quietly and didn't speak.

At this time, the guard outside the door came in and reported to Duke Newman:

"My lord, the envoy of the Knights Alliance is here..."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Duke Newman came out in public and told the guards:

"Invite them in..."

Then he said to the staff around him:

"The next step is to clean up all the ghost legions in the Kempato River Basin. This strategy was discussed with several other dukes before, so the plan will not change."

He turned to the herald beside him and said:

"Let the logistics side prepare the armaments and supplies, and I will go and see the people from the Cavaliers Alliance."

"Yes, Lord Duke."

Now that Kornberg County is in his hands, Duke Newman knows that he has made the right bet this time, and the years spent in the Warsaw plane have not been in vain.

Even if there are no more than ten such rich planes in the entire territory of the Grimm Empire.

The Busman family once became the top three lords of the Green Empire by virtue of the rich products of the Warsaw plane.

But Ryan Busman made enemies everywhere in the empire. In just a few decades, the Busman family's ranking among the nobles dropped from the top three to outside the ten.

Now that Ryan is dead, the Busman family has almost given up on the Warsaw plane, and the road left for the Busman family is getting narrower and narrower...

I don't know how the young Duke Quentin Busman will turn this situation around.

But these are not what Duke Newman needs to consider.

What he needs to pay attention to now is how to divide the big cake of the Warsaw plane. The counties of Handanal and Kornberg alone cover an area as large as two Bena provinces. The minerals of Kornberg County The resources are extremely rich, and there are large grasslands and woodlands in Handanal County, surrounded by large mountains.

According to the suggestions of his staff, as long as the Beinar Army can hold these two counties, they can now march northward, take advantage of the West Route Army to open the gate of Le Moyun Ridge, advance into Mo Yun Ridge, and divide that piece of land into Bei Na The territory of Naxing Province.

But in this way, the interests of the West Route Army and Earl Suldak will be greatly reduced.

To put it a bit harshly, the West Route Army opened the gate of Lemo Yunling, and the Bena Army went to pick the fruit...

This is the biggest reason why Duke Newman rejected the proposal of his staff.

Of course, the Marquis of Luthor is not ruled out. After all, the Luthor Legion has been stationed in the province of Bena.

The province-wide rebellion has always been in charge of the Marquis Luthor...

'Count Suldak, that stage is for you, you can't let me down! '

Duke Newman thought in his heart.

……

The West Route Army has already moved the garrison camp to the valley on the mountainside of Moyunling. Suldak has been waiting here for nearly half a month, but he has not seen any letter from Duke Newman.

The evil ghost army that was driven out of the valley by Suldak gathered together again in the past half a month.

Now they are hidden in a mountain depression outside the north exit of the valley. The magician investigation team has already found out their location, and there are almost 3 ghost warriors gathered together.

Of course, so far, the ration problem has been seriously restricting the size of the evil ghost army.

The Moyunling highlands were originally relatively barren, and now the evil spirits can't wait to dig out the grass roots here and stuff them into their stomachs.

The ghost hunting group has not been able to obtain food supplies along the Ganda Er Mountain in the past few months, and the northern mountains of Moyunling are full of aboriginal tribes.

In the past, the evil spirits were able to drive the group of aboriginal warriors back to their stronghold, and then hunt wantonly in this mountain range.

But now there are almost no prey in the northern mountains, unless the aborigines are caught and eaten, but this kind of thing is not realistic at the moment.

It is not so easy for the ghost hunting group to cross the northern mountains and go hunting in the wild mountains further north...

Therefore, the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge has been starving recently.

Suldak estimated that in the past few months, there should not be too many ghost fighters entering Moyun Ridge through the ghost gate, because the logistics supply of the ghost army was insufficient.

In fact, what Suldak is most concerned about is Duke Newman's attitude. After all, so many noble lords are staring at the big cake in Suldak's hand...

"The Benar Legion didn't respond at all, and the noble lords in Handanar City have been unable to intervene." Andrew explained to the wolf knight Tiger in a low voice, and then added: "It seems that Duke Newman is a man. not bad……"

Carrie Decker sat across from Andrew, holding a quill pen, writing and drawing on a piece of parchment.

She stopped the pen in her hand and blurted out, "Perhaps Duke Newman has taken into account the thoughts of Marquis Luther."

"Anyway, it looks like the Duke of Newman is planning to hand over the Moyunling Highland to us." Andrew said with high spirits: "Boss, just let me..."

Suldak waved his hand quickly, signaling Andrew not to continue drawing his pie.

He hoped that more adventure groups would gather here to nibble away at the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge.

It is better to use the strength of those adventure groups to weaken the evil ghost army on the opposite side little by little than the useless lord army in the city.

Not only are there no disputes over territorial ownership, but the demon hunters in the adventure group will not foolishly fill the stomachs of those evil spirits...

"Continue to increase the benefits for the adventure group and attract more adventure groups to help us."

Suldak pinched the sore corners of his eyes and said wearily.

Chapter 1478 The Secret on the Merit List

According to incomplete statistics, in the summer of 2592 of the Grimm Empire, at least two thousand adventure groups gathered in Moyun Ridge in the northern part of Handanal County on the Bailin plane. Almost all the demon hunters in these adventure groups passed through the mountainside valley, Enter the Moyunling highlands to hunt down evil spirits.

The Moyunling Highland is 600 kilometers long from south to north, and only 400 kilometers wide from east to west. The total area is nearly a quarter of the size of Handanar County.

The location of the evil ghost army is located on a high platform on the west side of the highland. The magician investigation team found the largest gathering place of evil ghost fighters here, and it is backed by the mountains in the west of Moyunling.

Suldak used more than two months to build a 60-meter-high city wall at the north exit of the named Dak Valley, completely blocking the evil spirits on the Moyunling highland.

Three hundred bed crossbows were densely packed on the city wall, and the distance between each bed crossbow was less than one meter.

During this period, the evil ghost army only tried to attack the city wall once, but before they entered the range of the bed crossbow, they were thrown back by the flint thrown by the catapult.

In this regard, Samira even complained quite a bit, thinking that the catapult group should not throw flints too early, and it was they who threw a large amount of flints that scared the group of evil spirits away.

The reason why the adventure group gathered in Moyun Ridge in large numbers had a lot to do with Duke Newman restricting the adventure group from entering Kornberg County. In addition, the Naroda Fortress where the Eastern Route Army is located is currently closed.

The adventure group that used to go to the Samostuo River Basin to hunt and kill evil spirits, but now there are no traces of evil spirits there.

Some time ago, a lot of evil spirit warriors appeared on the Great Meadow, and these evil spirits soon became the hunting targets of the adventure group, but the scope of the Great Meadow was too large, and if they wanted to track down the traces of the evil spirits, at least the hunting team A person needs two horses with good endurance.

The guard team formed by Earl Bradley appeared on the big meadow, and the residents of the small town living on the big meadow were more willing to believe in this lord army.

Those scattered adventure group demon hunters couldn't find any clues about the ghost warriors. They heard that many adventure groups hunted evil spirits in Moyun Ridge, so a large number of adventure groups gathered in the camp at the foot of Moyun Ridge.

Almost all the adventure groups who came from behind started to try after seeing that other adventure groups had gained a lot...

It's just that the adventure group has mixed opinions on the fact that Suldak charges construction fees based on the head. Some adventure groups are supportive, and some simply knocked down the report letter directly to the military headquarters of Handanal City.

The military department has remained silent on this, without any feedback.

In fact, there is no possibility of any feedback, because the valley at the southern entrance of Moyun Ridge has been changed into the Dak Valley. Obviously, this place has officially become the territory of the Earl of Suldak.

It is the right of every Grimm Empire lord to set up checkpoints in his own territory to collect tolls.

At the foot of the southern foot of Moyunling, there is the largest trading market. Many nobles and lords will send people here to buy black magic crystals.

Merchants even regard black goblins, goblin horns and fangs as specialties here.

There was an endless stream of caravans coming here every day. They brought a large amount of supplies, and then brought back the materials of evil spirits that were sought after by the imperial people back to the Roland Continent.

Even Suldak regretted it a bit, he should have collected an extra income tax.

However, considering that this might make more adventure groups feel dissatisfied, they gave up the idea after thinking about it for a few days.

Now in the Moyunling highlands, the most harmful to the evil ghost army is the demon hunter in the adventure group.

They are composed of small groups. These adventure groups are very flexible. They will run away immediately when they see a large group of evil spirits. They will only set traps when they see some evil spirit squads. Some are on the road ahead of the evil spirits, while others are arranged in specific locations, and then the members of the adventure group will run out to act as bait to lure the evil spirit warriors...

After Suldak occupied this valley, these adventure groups probably hunted nearly ten thousand ghost warriors in just two months.

Although there are still a large number of ghost warriors in the Moyunling highlands, these ghost warriors have become much smarter, and they are also learning the skills to fight against the adventure group demon hunters.

Countless ghost warriors and adventure group demon hunters are fighting each other on this land of 24 square kilometers.

As for the list of achievements posted on the city wall by the West Route Army, thirty sets of magic pattern structures were exchanged in just two months, and the thirty sets of magic pattern structures were almost all exchanged in the past two weeks, and The frequency of recent exchanges is still surging.

It’s just that these adventure groups still don’t know that these primary magic pattern structures are almost all the standard magic pattern structures purchased by Malakom, a businessman from Suldactor, in the imperial capital, and Malakom is the master of this workshop. Customers, the purchase price of each set of magic patterns is only [-] magic crystals.

Compared with the magic pattern structure in the auction house that costs 150 magic spar sets, although the effect of this standard magic pattern structure is a bit worse, the magic effect is not much different, and the price/performance ratio is extremely high...

This kind of primary power magic pattern structure is very common in the magic market, and everyone has no special pursuit of it.

If you want something better, you can buy the tooth of the magic snake, the shield of the earth, and the power of the giant bear.

Of course, these elementary and top-level magic pattern structures are priceless in the magic market, and they can't be bought even if they want to.

Although I know that some adventure groups in private are trying to piece together those black magic crystals in order to exchange for a set of magic pattern structures on the West Route Army merit list.

In this regard, Suldak can only appeal to everyone to exchange rewards rationally...

Of course, if the magic pattern structure on the merit list is the source of motivation to attract countless adventure groups to actively hunt and kill evil spirits, then another reward on the merit list is the 'reward' deliberately placed by Suldak.

The value of the strengthened magic pattern is only slightly lower than that of the magic pattern structure. Many people don't know what this thing is.

Of course, in the face of such rewards that cost tens of thousands of merit points to exchange for one piece, naturally no one would exchange one piece just to satisfy curiosity.

Therefore, three batches of magic pattern constructions worth [-] merits on the merit list have been exchanged for three batches, but no one cares about the strengthened magic patterns that can be exchanged for [-] merits.

Many people are still asking what it is in private, and some well-informed people have mentioned these strengthened magic patterns. It is said that the horses of the Western Route Army Constructing Knights have been strengthened with these magic patterns.

Now many people understand it, that is to say, this kind of enhanced magic pattern is only worth the price of a blue-scaled horse at most, but it is difficult to buy all kinds of scaled horses in the ordinary market. Basically, they are all monopolized by the Knights Alliance. If you want to buy them, you have to exchange the resources in your hand.

On the black market, the price of a green-scaled horse is almost [-] magic crystals. If it is a better-quality black-scaled horse, the price will be doubled.

Then the real price of such an enhanced magic pattern is at most [-] magic crystals, so almost no one is willing to exchange merits.

Head Hayes was the first among the group to be willing to eat crabs, because his adventure group hunted evil spirits here when the West Route Army won the Battle of Yangchang Canyon, and waited until the West Route Army The army gained a firm foothold at the southern foot of Moyun Ridge, and this adventure group began to sneak into Moyun Ridge to hunt evil spirits. Finally, the West Route Army captured the valley halfway up the mountain, and Captain Hayes led his adventure group to the first Rush into the Moyunling Highlands.

At that time, the evil spirits happened to be scattered by the West Route Army, and fled all over the mountains and plains in the Moyunling Highlands.

When the first batch of demon hunters from the adventure group rushed in, they basically picked and killed those evil spirits who were singled out and injured. After killing them, they only cut off their heads and continued to chase. Captain Hayes This adventure group are all newcomers, but they have a wealth of experience in hunting evil spirits, and this journey is simply soft.

Captain Hayes just used the accumulated black magic crystals to exchange for a set of magic patterns on the merit list of the West Route Army. This time, he rushed into the Moyunling Highlands to hunt down evil spirits. Their adventure group gained the most .

……

There is a large field next to the Dak Valley garrison camp, which is specially reserved for the adventure group to set up camp.

These adventure groups all paid the construction fee, so they also have certain privileges to live in the valley when they return from hunting on the Moyunling Highlands.

"This time I want to exchange for a strengthened magic pattern. I don't think it's that simple!"

Head Hayes spoke to other members of the adventure group in the tent.

"Leader, you have the final say. We have gained so much this time because of your precise judgments." The members of the adventure group below responded immediately.

Many people think so, and of course there are some different voices.

"I think we can wait a little longer. In another month, we can exchange for the second set of magic-weave structures. If the West Route Army stays here long enough, I think when we return to the imperial capital, we can do it. It’s not good for everyone to have a magic pattern structure…” A senior member said steadily.

Coffey immediately echoed:

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to go home and retire directly after coming out once!"

Someone laughed and said:

"Coffey, you are only 20 years old, how can you have such an old man's thinking?"

Immediately there was laughter all around.

"Ha ha……"

Captain Hayes also smiled for a while before continuing: "I want to know what the use of those strengthened magic patterns is. My intuition tells me that Commander Suldak put it on the merit exchange list, so it must belong to the soldiers. Welfare."

Now that the team leader has said so, no one is questioning anything.

Captain Hayes' prestige in the adventure group was high enough, so he easily defeated those doubting voices.

"Then change it to another one. We killed the evil spirits so smoothly this time, and we won't feel much distress when we spend this black magic crystal!"

……

Captain Hayes found the businessman Pei De, and the previous exchanges were all through Pei De's hands. Although the intermediary fee of this Pei De businessman is not cheap, his ability is still good.

He is trusted by many adventure groups, and Captain Hayes is one of them.
