Lord of Hyranza

He wanted to build a military stronghold here, and he didn't plan to fight in the wilderness with the evil ghost army that was about to kill them.

There are few trees on the tundra of the Moyunling Highlands, but there are still some deciduous forest belts in the canyon, but Suerdak has no plans to cut down all the trees in the canyon to build a military stronghold.

The main material for building the stronghold this time is the shale that can be seen everywhere on the Moyunling Highlands. These shales can be stacked very high without much modification. As long as each layer is filled with volcanic ash cement, a solid road can be built in no time. city ​​walls.

As soon as the infantry soldiers of the West Route Army arrived here, they began to mine this kind of stone around Gaogang, and then built a wall with Gaogang as the center day and night. It is a pity that the foundation of the wall has just been built, and a large number of ghost warriors appeared in the hills of Villagaxi in the north.

The evil ghost soldiers saw the camp of the West Route Army from a distance, and they didn't rush forward to fight.

They stopped at the edge of the hilly land, apparently waiting for the ghost warriors behind.

According to the information that Avid brought to Suldak, this army of evil spirits belongs to the westernmost of the three army of evil spirits that came from the North Sunderland Mountains.

The other two evil ghost legions chose to rest in the hills of Villagasi, and were not in a hurry to show up...

It was the evil ghost army on the easternmost side that was hit head-on by the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry. The evil ghost generals were probably worried that they were not strong enough, and there are still ghost warriors scattered all over the North Senderland Mountains. They rushed towards the hills of Villagasi, but the ghost warriors behind them seemed much looser.

Stared at by a large group of evil ghost warriors in the hills, the atmosphere in the West Route Army camp also became tense.

Everyone doesn't know when those evil spirits will rush up. The camp seems to be quiet from the outside, but in fact, the camp is still building walls as soon as possible...

Chapter 1548 Battle of the Highlands 5

The evil spirit army is stationed at the edge of the Villagasi hills, and there are constant evil spirit soldiers coming from the north. There are traces of evil spirits everywhere in the mountains and plains, and those evil spirits on the edge of the hills are more like a dark cloud in the sky, overwhelming The soldiers on the West Route Army were a little out of breath.

The evil ghost fighters have a strong body, and when they stand together, they will condense a strong momentum.

In the past two days, even the voices of talking and laughing in the barracks have decreased a lot. Due to the pressure brought by those evil spirits, many infantry soldiers took the initiative to carry stones on the edge of the canyon. high.

The clouds on the Moyunling highlands are very low. It is the rainy season recently, and the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky are like pieces of white cotton candy.

The tundra is full of water vapor, and many dry streams are gurgling at this time.

Surdak's tent was set up on the highest point of the high hill, and the tents of all infantry regiments surrounded his tent.

Standing at the entrance of the tent and looking north, you can see countless black figures crowding the hills to the north, and those evil spirits are also staring at this side, they should be more eager than the West Route Army...

These evil spirits almost ate all the large animals on the Moyunling Highlands to extinction, and then gnawed on the bark in the mountains for several months. Now that they see the imperial army, they may not be enemies in their eyes, but countless Delicious grilled sausages and steaks.

The basic part of the wall of the military stronghold of the West Route Army has been built, and the stones carried back by the infantry soldiers from the edge of the canyon are constantly building the main body of the wall.

No matter whether it is the evil spirits or the West Route Army, no one can afford to wait for this battle...

The senior executives of the Evil Ghost Legion were worried that the West Route Army would build a military stronghold. If the Evil Ghost Warriors wanted to attack again, they would have to sacrifice how many Evil Ghost Warriors to open a gap.

Suldak and the officers of the West Route Army were worried that the evil spirits coming from the North Sunderland Mountains would eventually accumulate to a very large number, and the military stronghold might not be able to hold it.

Inside the tent in Suldak, Selena was holding a cup of black tea from Hailansa City and was teaching Signa to draw runes.

Recently, everyone has been influenced by the magicians in the investigation team, and they practice drawing magic patterns in their spare time. Recently, these magicians are making magic shield scrolls, and Selina taught Signa some things related to darkness. some runes.

Apparently, Signa is not yet old enough to sit still. It is extremely boring for her to draw complex-shaped runes on the magic parchment every day.

At this moment, she pouted, kept twisting her body, and impatiently drew a symbol.

If Selena hadn't been here to watch in person, she would have run away without a trace.

In order to be able to provide sufficient volcanic ash cement to the military stronghold, Suldak and Aphrodite have been running back and forth between the rented warehouse and the stronghold warehouse in Hailansa City almost day and night for the past two days. Dak has accumulated a lot of magic pockets, which can carry a lot of supplies every time.

Half-elf archer Samira and magician Avid walked in from outside.

Suldak was sleeping soundly on a rattan chair, with a hand-drawn map of Moyunling covered on his face.

Probably also heard the sound of footsteps, Suldak woke up, lifted the parchment map on his face, and saw that it was Avid walking in from the outside, so he sat up from the rattan chair and asked him: "Willie?" What is the current situation of the evil ghost army on the other side of the Agassiz Hill?"

The magician Evid also knew that it would be useless to say "take a rest" at such a time.

The war is imminent, and no one can get a good night's sleep.

He pointed directly at the map and said:

"There are currently three evil spirit legions heading towards us. The evil spirit army gathered in the northern hills is the westernmost road. Among the three evil spirit legions, this evil spirit army has the largest number of evil spirit fighters. So far, there are about [-] evil spirits gathered in the hills of Villagasi, so far we have only found a few evil spirit generals, and no evil spirit commanders..."

"When the vanguard of the evil ghost army in the middle road entered the southern area of ​​the Villagaxi hills, it just ran into Andrew's Constructed Knights, and the vanguard was completely dispersed. Now this evil ghost army is repairing here. We're about a day away from here."

"A part of the evil spirits in the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains chased the reinforcements from Handanal City and headed north. Therefore, the number of evil spirits assembled on the east road is the smallest. So far, there are only about [-], and they are coming from the direction of the inner lake. , if you don’t take a break in the middle, it will take at least three days to get here.”

"Their vanguard just met the Constructed Swordsman Group led by Marquis Simon Jeffrey who was moving eastward in the eastern section of the Villagasi Hills. They fought tentatively not far from the inner lake, and the Constructed The number of swordsmen is much smaller than that of the evil spirits, and they didn't take advantage of it. According to the news from over there, there should be some constructed swordsmen who quietly left the structure of Marquis Simon Jeffrey after that battle. Swordsmen."

Suldak's eyes lit up when he heard Avid say this: "Have you figured out where they all went?"

"Most of the constructed swordsmen who left chose to go north. They walked very scatteredly. Some constructed swordsmen simply joined the adventure group hunting near the inner lake." Evid replied.

"You said that these constructed swordsmen who left the team joined the adventure group over there?" Suldak said with some regret.

"There are also some Constructed Swordsmen who caught up with Andrew's Constructed Knights. It is said that they offered to join the West Route Army, and some are trying to cross the canyons of the North Sunderland Mountains. They should be looking for Handa who is heading north. Reinforcements from the city of Nar." The magician Avid introduced everything in detail.

Suldak nodded, he was a little disgusted with the aristocratic military system of the Green Empire.

Many expeditionary armies are made up of the lord armies of noble lords, large and small. The noble lords also have to prepare all logistics materials for the lord armies that go out. That is to say, everything used by these lord armies on the battlefield is made of Those noble lords pay the bill, which is the basic investment in launching a war, and the spoils divided after the victory of the war are the specific income of these noble lords.

Although war is a violent industry, a victory can make everyone earn a lot of money, but the failure of the war means that these noble lords have nothing to lose...

Of course, in addition to these large and small noble lords who sent their lord armies to join the battle, there were also some small nobles who could not afford to support private troops and joined the legion in their own names.

This kind of nobles often join some Constructed Swordsman Corps, and they are also responsible for their own expenses. However, after the war is won, the spoils are also owned by them personally. In many cases, the legion only takes a small percentage.

It is easy to say that this kind of army belongs to the victory of the war. Once the war shows signs of failure, it will disintegrate quite quickly.

Just like the Constructed Swordsman Group of Marquis Simon Jeffrey, there is actually no sign of defeat. It is just that Marquis Simon Jeffrey made two mistakes in judging the battle situation, so that the Constructed Swordsmen in the Constructed Swordsman Group Constructed swordsmen had a great degree of doubt on Marquis Jeffrey.

That's why some free noble knights took the opportunity of fighting to quietly leave the Constructed Swordsman Group.

"At present, Marquis Simon Jeffrey leads the rest of the Constructed Swordsman Regiment to be stationed on the south bank of the Inner Lake." The magician Avid added at this time.

Suldak asked again: "Where is the current location of Andrew's Constructed Knights?"

The magician Avid pointed to the canyon in the North Sunderland Mountains and said: "They have already entered the canyon and are planning to pass through the canyon to reach the northern tundra, but the speed of progress is a bit slow!"

Suldak and Samira raised their heads at the same time, looked at the magician Avid, and waited for his next explanation.

"Because the reinforcements from Handanal City had just passed through this canyon before, the heavy armored infantry regiment of the reinforcements gave the ghost warriors hiding in the mountains a taste of sweetness. These ghosts don't care much about the army passing through this valley. After all Is it the Reinforcement Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, or the Constructed Knights Regiment of the West Route Army."

"They are constantly harassing Andrew's Constructed Knights, but Andrew is eager to face all the evil spirits, and the Constructed Knights are on the way... fighting with evil ghost warriors every day."

After speaking, the magician Avid stopped.

Suldak asked again: "How many adventure groups are there in the North Sunderland Mountains?"

In fact, he is still a little worried about the adventure groups hunting in this area. Now a large number of evil spirit legions are rushing out of the North Senderland Mountains. Swallowed by the evil ghost army.

These adventure groups are the main force for cleaning up the remaining evil spirits after the war. If it can be done smoothly, Suldak still wants to take care of them.

"There are less than a hundred of them. Most of the adventure groups are currently hunting evil spirits in the Mevajixi Canyon, and most of these adventure groups are located in the inner lake area." Evid said.

Samira, who was sitting next to her and hadn't spoken much, asked the magician Avid at this time: "Is there any news from the reinforcements in Handanar City?"

"The heavy armored infantry regiment on the side of the reinforcements is currently being bitten by a group of evil spirits. They have been forced to stop in the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains. They are building a city like us, but due to the nearby There were no suitable building materials, just an earthen wall with trenches built on the hillside."

The magician Avid introduced.

……

When the magician Avid reported to Suldak all the information detected by the magicians, the reinforcements from Handanar City were fighting the evil spirits on the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains.

The location of the battlefield happened to be on a soil slope. This grassy slope was very gentle. There was a huge ditch in the middle of the slope. On the other side of the ditch was an earth wall made of clay.

A group of evil spirits rushed over from the bottom of the earth slope with war blades in their hands. They jumped down the ditch against the rain of arrows, and then climbed over the earth wall to fight with the heavy armored infantry soldiers guarding behind.

Two rows of heavy shield warriors holding square tower shields stand at the front of the formation. They use their shields to block the rushing ghost warriors, and the soldiers behind will also use Paglio spears to pierce the ghost's body.

However, the moment the evil spirits rushed forward, they would also rely on their tall bodies and the sharp blades in their hands to stab from the upper edge of the infantry warrior's tower shield. Many shield warriors had their heads cut off in this way, or simply A bloody hole was stabbed in the face.

Almost all the ghost soldiers rushing to the front had a few spears and feathered arrows stuck in their bodies. Before they fell down, they had to pounce on the other heavy armored infantry soldiers, using their bone spurs to die with the infantry soldiers...

All ghost warriors will become extremely bloodthirsty on the battlefield, and they are not afraid of death. The ghost warriors rushing to the front kill a bloody path and fall down, and the ghosts behind become even crazier.

This caused extremely heavy casualties to the shield warriors in the reinforcements in Handanar City.

In just half a day, Marquis Heller mobilized two heavy armored infantry regiments, mainly shield fighters, to the front battlefield.

At this moment, Marquis Heller's heart is also extremely bitter. If it weren't for the heads of these infantry regiments who wanted to hunt evil spirits on the way, causing so many evil spirits to follow them all the way, maybe he could build a city here. Village to.

As long as you rely on the fortifications of the city wall, you can stop these evil spirits in front of you...

But now!The earthen city wall has not been repaired, but this battle is almost being trampled down by the ghost warriors.

Fortunately, at dusk, these ghost warriors retreated hastily from the battlefield, which gave the reinforcements of Handanal City some respite.

The wounded heavy armored infantry soldiers withdrew from the battlefield to the back one after another, and the rest of the soldiers began to clean the battlefield, collecting valuables from the ghost soldiers, and then carried the corpses of the infantry soldiers who died in battle together to check their identities and sort out their belongings.

The heavy armored infantry regiment that did not participate in the battle had to take advantage of the night to rush to repair this huge trench and earthen wall.

There are a lot of heavy armored infantry who died in battle, but the reinforcements have no way to retreat and can only stick to this hillside.

There weren't too many evil spirits gathered below the hillside. They were eating the food they got from the battlefield, and they would let out low-pitched roars from time to time.

Some time ago, the city of Handanal received frequent battle reports from the Bena Army and the West Route Army. Whether it is Kornberg County or the Gandar Er Mountains, there are many good news...

So much so that the lords in the city felt that fighting the evil spirits might make victory easier.

The lords think... maybe the evil spirits in the Abyss Realm have realized that there is no living space in the Warsaw plane, so they have no fighting spirit, so that the Bena Legion has won successive victories, even guarding the Ganzhou plane. The West Route Army on the edge of the Daer Mountains also killed a large number of evil spirits.

But now, when Marquis Heller actually came to the battlefield in the Moyunling Highlands, he realized that it seemed completely false to say that the ghost fighters had no fighting power.

Those evil spirits can really eat people on the battlefield, they eat people, horses, dry food, almost anything...

Chapter 1549 Battle of the Highlands 6

The battle between the reinforcements in Handanal City and the evil spirits is still going on. The evil spirits insist on attacking the camp where the reinforcements are stationed every day during the daytime. At dusk, the evil spirits will retreat very simply. Never delay for a moment.

This made the reinforcements standing on the tundra in the northern part of the North Senderland Mountains a little confused. They felt that this group of ghost warriors seemed to be afraid of the dark.

On the northern tundra, nearly ten thousand ghost warriors confronted the reinforcements from Handanar City.

At night, the reinforcements will take the opportunity to repair the earthen wall, and also clean up the trenches under the earthen wall.

During the day, the shield warriors of the heavy armored infantry regiment will stand at the forefront of the army formation, fighting to the death with the ghost fighters. Although nearly a thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers die every day, the battle between the reinforcements and the ghosts has not changed signs.

The two sides had been in a stalemate on this slope for several days, and the reinforcements suffered continuous casualties for several days, which made the morale of the infantry soldiers in the legion low...

Many heavy armored infantry regiments bravely went to the battlefield. Although they could reap some spoils every day, the laughter and laughter of a few days ago had long since disappeared in the barracks.

A row of wounded soldiers sat in front of the tent basking in the sun, apart from worrying about the current battle situation, there seemed to be a kind of relief on their faces.

However, those heavy armored infantry regiments that hadn't yet had their turn to go to the battlefield became a little lifeless, and practiced their formation on the grass behind the camp in advance.

And those shield fighters wished to turn their heavy armor into canned luncheon meat. They also had to put on a layer of tight leather armor inside the full armor, and added a layer of armor on the helmet, determined to arm themselves to the teeth.

In just a few days, Marquis Valentin Heller's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. After fighting this evil spirit army for a few days, the reinforcements had no chance to withdraw from this battlefield.

The only way to get rid of these ghost fighters right now is to rely on other reinforcements.

Thinking about it, I find it ironic that my army itself came here as reinforcements from Handanal City, but now it is stuck on the battlefield in the northern tundra of the North Sunderland Mountains, waiting for other lords to come rescue...

But on this Moyunling Highland, apart from Suldak's West Route Army, there was no other army at all.

Looking at the glowing red brazier in front of him, Marquis Valentin Heller, who was sitting on the armchair, felt disturbed for a while, thinking that he still thought of the battle situation on Moyun Ridge too simply, in order to occupy more territory, The reinforcements actually ran into a dangerous situation without knowing it.

Thinking of this, Marquis Heller reached out and picked up the gold quill pen from a wooden table that he made up temporarily. After dipping a little ink, he quickly wrote a line on a piece of parchment. After writing, he will The parchment was rolled into a roll, tied with string, and then another sheet was written.

The previous letter was written by him to Earl Suldak, and he didn't even dare to think about Suldak's expression when he saw this letter.

The second letter was written by him to the Marquis Simon Geoffrey.

'I hope that after Marquis Jeffrey reads this letter, he can lead the construction swordsman group over from the south as soon as possible. 'Marquis Heller thought to himself while sitting in a chair.

"Come on!"

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Send someone to deliver these two letters, this one to Marquis Simon Geoffrey, and this one to Earl Suldak of the West Route Army, as soon as possible!"

Marquis Heller's voice was a little hoarse.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, only to find that there was only a bit of bitter tea residue left in the cup.

"Yes, my lord!"

The adjutant who walked in from the outside responded immediately.

It didn't take long for two messengers to leave the reinforcement camp on fast horses. They bypassed the battlefield ahead and ran straight towards the North Senderland Mountains.

At this time, the Caopo battlefield is still full of shouts and killings...
