Lord of Hyranza

On the first night after entering the Moyunling Highlands, the second letter from Marquis Simon Jeffrey was in the hands of Marquis Heller. Marquis Heller was not surprised when he saw the contents of the letter. Erdak has already said it on his live-action sand table.

In his letter, Marquis Geoffrey also accused Earl Suldak of occupying almost all the land in the east of the highland, while the unoccupied western part of the highland is currently haunted by evil spirits...

After his Constructed Swordsmen entered the western region, they were chased and intercepted by three evil ghost legions in just half a day.

Now the Constructed Swordsman Group has retreated to the middle of the highland, but no matter where they go, they seem to be able to see the guiding sign of Lord Suldak...

Chapter 1534 Battle Plan

The heavy armored infantry regiment of the West Route Army has been stationed in the Dak Valley, indeed because Suldak did not issue an expedition order.

The Moyunling Highland is surrounded by mountains on all sides, but the center of the whole highland is flat, and there are no criss-crossing mountains. The only North Senland Mountain Range looks extremely gentle, like a pile of hills stretching for hundreds of kilometers. There are not many rivers on the ground, almost all of which are small rivers formed by the melting of surrounding snow mountains and glaciers, and an inner lake is formed in the Moyunling Highlands.

Most of the vegetation on the highlands are low shrubs and cold and drought-tolerant bitter-leaved grasses, which is simply a natural pasture.

The magician scouting team of the West Route Army spent several months flying around on magic sticks almost every day, exploring the entire terrain of the Moyunling Highland.

The magicians have almost flown over the entire highland. After their investigation, Suerdak obtained the most detailed map of the Moyunling Highland. This map includes the distribution of resources in the Moyunling Highland mine, mountains, rivers The trend of the lake, the various stations of the evil ghost army, etc.

The biggest reason why Suerdak kept the infantry regiment of the West Route Army in the Dak Valley was that the Moyunling Highland was too flat.

These ghost warriors run no slower than war horses. On such a flat and open battlefield, the only arms that the empire can face against the ghost warriors are heavy cavalry and constructed knights.

The province of Bena is the hometown of swordsmen in the Grimm Empire. Most noble lords don't like to form knights, so the heavy cavalry is particularly important when fighting against the ghost army. The Bena in the hands of Duke Newman The Legion has a large number of heavy cavalry regiments.

In fact, this is also the main reason why the evil ghost army on Moyun Ridge has never captured the forest camp.

In places with flat terrain like the Great Meadow or the Moyunling Highlands, the heavy cavalry regiment is stronger than the evil ghost army. If it is in a mountainous area where it is impossible to charge, the heavy cavalry regiment will be suppressed by the evil ghost army.

This is also the reason why the Bena Legion has not been able to capture the valley at the southern foot of Moyunling for so long.

If Suldak had a powerful heavy cavalry regiment in his hands, then as early as two months ago, Suldak would have led the heavy cavalry straight into the battlefield on the Moyunling Highlands.

However, the current main force of the West Route Army is heavy armored infantry. Once these heavy armored infantry enter the Moyunling highlands, they will be at an absolute disadvantage when facing the evil ghost army.

It cannot happen that every battle happens at night...

Suldak wanted to find some battlefields suitable for heavy armored infantry to fight, or areas near valleys and rivers. Only by using the special terrain on the high ground could the heavy armored infantry fight against the evil ghost army.

Of course, he originally wanted to borrow a few heavy cavalry regiments from Duke Newman, so that he could fight on the high ground at will.It’s just that the Bena Legion has fought in the Warsaw plane for eight years, and now it has finally captured Kornberg County. The plane battlefield has achieved a phased victory. Most of the soldiers are eager to return home. When Dak opened his mouth, a group of heavy cavalry regiments had already returned to the Roland Continent in the form of garrisoning in turn.

The remaining heavy cavalry regiments are still driving out the evil spirits along the Kempato River...

Before the magician reconnaissance team had fully explored the Moyunling highland, Suldak began to formulate a highland battle plan, and this battle plan has been continuously improved...

Now there are four routes that can be determined to send troops all the way to Mount Horsens.

The first road, which is also the optimal marching route in Suldak's entire battle plan, is to follow the south bank of the largest river from the southwest bank of the inner lake to the highland, and advance all the way west. Suldak intends to use the ghost warriors He is not good at swimming, and if he wants to build some boats in the inner lake, the only troublesome thing is to go out to the mountains at the southern foot of Moyunling to transport large timber to the high ground.

Because of the Battle of Buruin River as a reference, Suldak believes that the West Route Army and the Evil Army can have more advantages in fighting by the river.

The second road is all the way west from the North Senland Mountains. This marching route is the shortest among the four routes. However, the heavy armored infantry regiment needs to rely on the ant cavalry regiment to maintain its combat advantage in this mountainous area. The mountains may not be a hindrance to the army of evil spirits.

The third road goes from the foot of the mountains on the South Road, detours for hundreds of kilometers near the edge of the mountains, and arrives at Horsens.

The fourth marching route was prepared by Suldak for the aboriginal warriors of the Aegrod tribe. It was to march westward along the edge of the northern foothills, forming a north-south encirclement with the West Route Army, and completely wiped out the evil spirits. The Legion was eradicated from the Moyunling Highlands.

Suldak planned to divide the West Route Army and the Aegrod Tribal Alliance Army into four groups, and at the same time march towards Horsens on the west side of the highland, but this battle plan was delayed due to the arrival of reinforcements from Handanar City.

Now the reinforcements from Handanaer City can't wait to enter the Moyunling Highland battlefield. Although it has disrupted Suldak's battle deployment, it can be regarded as helping Suldak to test the combat effectiveness of those evil spirits on the highland.

Suldak even planned to assign a westward expedition route to the reinforcements in Handanal City, but thinking that they might not have this plan at all, Marquis Heller didn't mention this when he left.

In addition, he didn't want to have too much contact with the reinforcements in Handanal City. Their heavy armored infantry regiment was equipped with excellent weapons and horses, but he still thought too much if he wanted to defeat the evil spirits with just these.

He didn't want to be questioned by the noble lords in Handanal City when the reinforcements were defeated.

As for how the Marquis Valentine Heller led the reinforcements into the highlands, that was his duty as a commander. He naturally knew the saying 'war is risky, and you need to be cautious when marching'.

At present, the only legions in the West Route Army that can enter the central area of ​​the Moyunling Highlands are the Constructed Knights and the Ant Cavalry. It will also be violently counterattacked by the evil ghost army.

In fact, this can be regarded as a conspiracy that is not specifically aimed at the reinforcements of Handanal City. I hope that the reinforcements of Handanal City can withstand the counterattack of the evil ghost army.

Suldak felt that the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry were not strong enough, so he was still contacting some large adventure groups when he returned to Dak Valley this time.

The reason for finding them is not to organize them together and fight in the battlefield as a motley army.

These adventure groups enter the Moyunling highlands in units of combat squads to exert their maximum combat power, and their combat power is even inferior to that of the heavy armored infantry regiment.

Suldak hoped to organize the magicians from the various adventure groups to form a large wave of magician battle groups, attacking the evil spirit army that could not fight in the air.

The Evil Ghost Legion has some flying troops, but the number is smaller than that of the Evil Ghost General, and it has not been able to form a large scale...

Chapter 1535 Magician Group

In the medical tent at the West Route Army barracks in Dak Valley, Nika, who was wearing a white robe, was suturing the wound on the left side of the magician Avid.

It was a wound drawn by the bone spear. The bone spear pierced through his magic robe and flew past his armpit, allowing Avid magician to recover his life in the hands of the evil ghost warrior. The edge ran a long gash over his ribs.

If he hadn't been flying fast enough, he might have been left in the western foothills by the group of ghost warriors ambushing on the ridge.

Avid used a scroll of hydrotherapy and a half roll of hemostatic bandage on the way, and then rode a magic scorpion to the camp in Dak Valley. When he flew back to the camp, his mana was almost exhausted, almost Fainted at the door of the medical room.

Nika also hurriedly dealt with the wounded in front, and rushed over to treat the magician Avid as soon as possible.

In fact, Magician Avid's injury was only considered a minor injury, but he was a little worried about his injury when he returned to the camp. It will look very haggard.

As the priest of the Dawn Goddess Temple, the light spells mastered by Nika are slightly different from the power of holy light possessed by Suldak.

Her light magic cannot purify the undead and exorcise evil spirits, and the healing spells she masters are only twilight healing and detoxification.

She was able to serve as the attending physician in the medical team entirely by relying on her excellent suture and bone setting skills, as well as the simple natural spells mastered by the maids in the medical team, such as wild growth, nourishment and so on.

What's more, Suldak can get herbal medicine. Even if it is not magical herbal medicine, those maids who are proficient in herbalism can also prepare some healing potions.

Moreover, after she became the priest of the Dawn Temple, she has mastered some light magic and can use the magic scroll of hydrotherapy. It is no problem to treat some ordinary wounded soldiers.

But her healing ability is really not good, she can only treat ordinary wounded soldiers, and almost all seriously injured soldiers need Suldak to treat them.

At first Nika thought it was because she hadn't learned the second-level light spells, so she couldn't master stronger healing spells. After she had worked hard day and night and successfully broke through, she realized that was not the case at all. She learned from the revelation of the Goddess of Dawn that the second-level light magic was actually 'flash' and 'light shield', and did not learn more advanced healing spells.

This incident made Nika very depressed a few days ago, but now his mood seems to have recovered a little.

As a priest, Nika's five senses are still very keen, and her hands are very dexterous. Under the condition of low light, she used the pliers to precisely hold the suture needle, and even used the suture thread to sew the end of the wound. a knot.

Magician Avid has come to his senses, lying on the hospital bed looking a little weak, and keeps asking Nika if he is still saved.

Hearing that Nika said his injury was not serious, he thought Nika was comforting him and became more nervous.

"Don't lie to me anymore, I just feel out of breath, chest tightness, every breath is like piercing my heart, am I going to die? Nika, Commander Suldak's Holy Light can Save me?"

The Avid magician lying on the bed was panting slightly, and his words were intermittent.

At this time Suldak walked in from the outside. After all, Magician Avid is the head of the mage investigation team, and he has been taking the blame for Suldak's ability to obtain a large amount of supplies across space, so Suldak heard Avid was injured, so he rushed over to visit.

Seeing Suldak walking in from the outside, Avid calmed down and didn't ask about his injury.

From Nika's mouth, Suldak learned that Avid's injury was actually not serious, not a single bone was broken, there was only one wound, and the blood loss was not too much.

Seeing Avid's earnest eyes, Suldak patiently helped him to check, and the final result was exactly the same as Nika said.

How did the hemostatic bandage come off, and how did Suldak put it back on.

In the end, Suldak only said to Avid: "The wound is recovering well..."

After speaking, a mass of holy light condensed in his hand, pushed it into Avid's body, and asked casually:

"Have you informed the magicians of the other investigative teams?"

An adjutant following Suldak quickly said: "The notification has been made."

Suldak nodded, and then said to the magician Avid:

"When you go on missions in the future, especially in complex mountainous areas, you must maintain a good flying altitude. It is best to travel with two magicians, and each magician should carry at least three magic shield scrolls. The scouting team will make magic How many shield scroll magicians are there?"

Perhaps it was because of the healing power of the holy light, or perhaps because of Avid's psychological effect, Avid lying on the hospital bed became more energetic and said:

"Basically everyone can do it, but the success rate of production is somewhat uneven."

To put it bluntly, drawing magic scrolls still requires a certain degree of proficiency. Only when you are proficient in drawing and figure out the matching point between mana transfer and rune drawing can the success rate of making scrolls be improved.

Suldak thought for a while before saying, "As long as the magicians in the scouting team are interested in making it, I will be responsible for providing magic ink and magic parchment."

To make a magic scroll, whether it is magic ink or magic parchment, the cost of materials is definitely not a small amount.

Suldak's willingness to bear the cost of materials means that as long as magicians are willing to spend some time, they can make them by themselves. Many magicians have a very low success rate because of the expensive material costs and their proficiency. So most of them don't do it by themselves.

Although it is expensive to buy from a master scroll maker, it will be somewhat cheaper than drawing by yourself.

Now that someone is willing to pay, even if you are not proficient, you can get the materials to draw scrolls by yourself. Such a good opportunity to practice, no matter how many times you have to try it.

The magician Avid even struggled to sit up from the hospital bed and said:

"That's great."

Suldak didn't want the magicians in the reconnaissance team to make any mistakes, so he reminded the magicians of Avid: "Be sure to let the magicians be more vigilant when they go out on missions."

At this time, an adjutant walked in from outside the medical room, and said respectfully to Suldak:

"Commander, the mages are all here."

Suldak raised his head and responded, "Okay! I'll go right away."

He told Avid to take good care of his injuries during this time, and then left the medical room.

Recently, many magicians in the reconnaissance team have discovered that in order to resist the detection of the magicians of the West Route Army, a throwing bone spear has appeared in the evil ghost army. The body seems to have been strengthened to a certain extent. The original bone spear could never be thrown into the sky at a height of 60 meters, but now this strengthened bone spear can easily fly to a height of 80 meters in the hands of the ghost warrior.

In addition, the evil ghost army appeared with a pair of bone wings growing on its back and extremely strong legs. In fact, they could not continue to fly in the air, but as long as they climbed to the cliff, they could slide down as long as they opened their bone wings OK.

This kind of evil spirit is somewhat similar to a gargoyle, holding a war blade when flying, and likes to pounce on the back of the target to hunt and kill.

If it is on the plains, with their legs leaping high, they can fly a kilometer or two in the air like a pheasant and then fall down, but this flying method is still relatively immature, and these evil spirits have not yet adapted to the Warsaw plane , has not yet formed a strong combat force.

However, many adventure groups have seen this kind of winged ghosts in the wild, and some demon hunters were killed by these bone-winged ghosts at night.

This kind of bone-wing evil spirit has caused many adventure groups to panic, and this kind of information was quickly sent back to the valley camp.

……

Surdak summoned all the magic professionals in the adventure team in the Dak Valley, and gave a speech in the No. [-] warehouse of the barracks.

In order to allow all the mages in the adventure group to participate, he waited in the barracks for two full weeks, and the mages rode back to the Dak valley one after another.

The bed crossbows originally stored in No. [-] warehouse had been placed on the city wall, and the warehouse became empty, except for a large wooden box in the center.

A beam of light shines in from the open window in the warehouse roof, making the surroundings of the wooden boxes extra bright.

A group of magicians gathered in the warehouse in twos and threes. Most of the magicians were wearing dark magic robes, and many of them had tired looks on their faces.

Magicians have a high status in the Grimm Empire, and they belong to the awakened nobles, so they don't care much about the military's speech.

There were even some magicians who obviously expressed some dissatisfaction with this. Obviously their adventure group was still taking risks on the high ground, but now they had to run back from thousands of miles to listen to some speeches. If the convener was not the commander of the West Route Army Well, the leaders of the adventure group were worried that the members of the magician group would not participate in this event. Once a member was injured later, it might become difficult to go to the camp for treatment.

In fact, the adventure group joined by the magician is the kind of adventure group with relatively good strength, and the magician itself has some minimal healing ability, everyone will use the magic scroll of healing, that thing is not very expensive, many The magician is also proficient in potions, so members of the adventure group will not terminate their adventure activities because of some minor injuries.

Suldak walked into the warehouse quickly with three followers, and the magicians scattered all over the warehouse looked at Suldak and his party.

He jumped onto the huge wooden box in the middle of the warehouse with light steps, and stood in a beam of sunlight coming in from the roof of the warehouse.

Standing on the wooden box, he looked around at the magicians gathered in the warehouse, then clapped his hands lightly, and said loudly:

"Good morning everyone..."

Chapter 1536 Magician Group 2

All the magicians stopped talking one after another, and the warehouse suddenly became quiet.

Among the adventure groups, the name Lord Suldak, the commander of the West Route Army, is still full of gold. Most of the adventure group leaders want to give this commander some face.

No matter how dissatisfied the magicians were with Lord Suldak, they would not openly contradict him on this occasion.

That kind of mindless thing is not something that magicians can do.

"I'm sorry that the later department failed to prepare enough chairs, so everyone can only stand and listen to me rambling in this warehouse for a while, just like me."

Suldak stood on the high platform and said a joking opening remark.

"But please be patient. Actually, I don't have much to say, and I can finish it quickly. When I am speaking, I am not used to being interrupted in the middle. If you have any questions, please wait until I finish speaking." Ask me questions again, or you can leave the warehouse without looking back, but... at least let me finish my sentence."

Some magicians originally had a smile on their faces, but after hearing what Suldak said, they all withdrew their smiles.

Suldak took a look. There were almost 300 magicians who came to Warehouse No. 2 to listen to his speech. There were nearly [-] members of the adventure group gathered in the Dark Valley, but the proportion of magicians was so small.
