Lord of Hyranza

The magic caravan drove into the horse farm along the path by the river, and Suldak saw the black scaled horses in the horse farm when he sat in the carriage. Instead of a mane, it is covered with black scales like dragons. These scales are so tough that ordinary arrows can't penetrate them at all.

Seeing thousands of black-scaled horses grazing leisurely in the racecourse, Suldak couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these ranchers in the west are really rich...

The thousand black-scaled horses that Suldak bought were among the group of scaled horses. They were said to be bought, but in fact they were exchanged for healing ointment and gunpowder barrels.

A black-scaled horse is discounted by [-] gold coins. This price shows that the Western Knights Alliance is quite sincere. It is the lowest price in the market. Generally speaking, it is basically impossible to exchange ten magic crystals for a black-scaled horse in the market. It can be bought. Currently, the Western Route Army is allied with the Western Cavaliers Alliance. What Marquis Yves Kim gave Suldak was the internal transaction price of the Cavaliers Alliance.

When he came to the forage warehouse on the side of the pasture, Suldak took the opportunity to move out boxes of healing plasters from the magic pocket. It was bought by the aboriginal people there.

In the Dark Insect Valley, these natives not only provide Suldak with a large number of ghost pattern soldier ants, but also prepare a large amount of this healing ointment.

And Suldak provided them with various living supplies...

Three hundred boxes of healing ointment and [-] gunpowder barrels are all the supplies that Suldak brought. According to Suldak's suggestion, the gunpowder barrels were not stored at the racecourse, but another large warehouse was rented for storage. .

The transaction went smoothly. The thousand black-scaled horses will go to Handanal County with the convoy of the Bena Army. After entering Handanal County, they will change their way to Moyunling Highlands.

Because there is a convoy from the logistics department of the military, Suldak is not too worried about the safety of these black scaled horses.

Suldak also brought back a thousand sets of standard magic-weave structures from the imperial capital this time. These magic-weave structures and black-scaled horses can completely form two more knights of the structure, and now Suldak has no one at all. Lacking knights in armor, this time Suldak plans to select a group of tribal warriors from the Aigrod Tribal Alliance Army and let them officially join the Lord's Army.

At present, in Bena Province, there are not many noble lords who can simultaneously own five Constructed Knights. After Suldak forms these two Constructed Knights, he will officially become one of the great lords of Bena Province.

Although he hasn't formed a heavy cavalry regiment for the time being, the red ant troop and ant cavalry regiment have also made up for this aspect of combat power.

……

After completing the transaction of the Blackscale Horse in Epsom City, Suldak immediately returned to Handanar City by magic airship.

He was not assassinated by assassins along the way. When he returned to Handanar City this time, Suldak went directly to the mercenary union and the adventure group union, and placed a reward task on the task entrustment column of these two unions: 'Investigate the assassination case of Earl Suldak's magic airship, and provide useful clues to get magic spar rewards. '

The number of rewards was not clearly marked on the reward task, and the amount of gold coins to be paid obviously depends on the estimation of the quality of intelligence.

However, Suldak blatantly wrote it on the task entrustment column of the mercenary union and the adventure group union in Handanal City. Face, the man behind the assassination is very likely to be a certain lord in the city of Handanal.

Because Suldak's rise was rapid, and he hadn't had time to take on the deep hatred with other people during this period, these lords in Handanar City were the most suspected.

When Suldak met with Marquis Peggy Bivis again, Marquis Bivis was still inquiring about the details of the assassination of the airship in detail.

Surdak only stayed in Handanar City for one day.

Under the coordination of Marquis Bivis, take a three-masted magic airship to Moyun Ridge...

That's right, the airway between Handanal City and Moyun Ridge has been opened. Although there is no airport terminal or high tower terminal on Moyun Ridge, it does not prevent the magic airship from flying to Moyun Ridge. .

It takes half a month to ride a horse to reach the Moyunling highlands. It took only six days for Suldak to ride the magic airship. The magic airship stopped temporarily on the highest archery tower in Gaogang Fortress. The archers on the archery tower were all stupid , they never thought that there would be a magic airship flying over from Handanal City so soon...

When the soldiers in the fortress saw that Suldak was the first to jump off the magic airship, the whole fortress burst into cheers like a tidal wave.

I don't know if they were happy because of Suldak's return, or because the magic airship was available in the Moyunling Highlands, or both.

Carrie Decker is in charge of guarding the highland fortress. As the evil spirit army retreats to the North Sunderland Mountains, there are no evil spirits in the Villagasi hills.

Therefore, during the two months since Suldak left the Highland Fortress, only three small-scale battles broke out.

According to Carrie Decker's report, the other fortresses on the high ground have not been attacked by the army of evil spirits, and the only troublesome ones are the flying evil spirits with wings.

Now these flying ghosts have spread all over the cliffs and high mountains of the North Sunderland Mountains, posing a great threat to the magician detection team.

At present, the magician reconnaissance team no longer easily enters the North Sunderland Mountains to investigate the situation, so the West Route Army cannot grasp the movement of the North Sunderland Evil Ghost Army in time...

Suldak did not expect that the flying evil spirits of the evil ghost army could already wreak havoc in the mountains in groups, and would become the biggest hidden danger before the West Route Army launched a general attack on the evil ghost army...

At Gaogang Fortress, Suldak arranged for Carrie Decker to find a way to use an archery tower to transform an airport tower, and then he went to Neihu Fortress non-stop. When he left Moyunling Highland, Neihu Fortress The foundation has just been built, and it is said that the Neihu Fortress has been completely completed.

The defense line established by the West Route Army on the Moyunling Highland has officially been completed...

……

In the autumn of 2592, as the war horn on the Moyunling Highland was sounded again, the ant cavalry of the West Route Army demonstrated their powerful combat capabilities in the North Senderland Mountains.

Chapter 1587 The Battle in North Sunderland

Over the past year or so, Aphrodite has successively produced nearly [-] magic contract scrolls. The ant cavalry of the West Route Army expanded to [-] on the eve of the war, and a total of sixteen ant cavalry regiments were organized. And because the ghost-striped soldier ants participated in several battles one after another, the number of giant ghost-striped soldier ants also broke through the [-] mark.

It's just that the number of [-] ghost-patterned red ants in the West Route Army has dropped sharply to [-] due to successive battles.

In other words, Suldak recruited [-] ghost-pattern soldier ants from the Bailin plane twice. After a year of fighting, there were only [-] ordinary ghost-pattern soldier ants left, and one more The mounts of ten thousand evolved giant ghost pattern soldier ants and eight thousand ant cavalry.

Nearly half of the ghost pattern soldier ants died on the battlefield of the Moyunling highlands, but Suldak harvested tens of thousands of ordinary magic cores. (Ghost pattern soldier ants do not have black magic crystals on their body)

In addition, most of the hard armor skins peeled off by the ghost-pattern soldier ants who died in battle were also brought back to Hailansa City by Suldak, and then transported by land to Bena City, where they became Harvey Gopher Raw materials in that leather workshop.

In the West Route Army, these ghost-patterned soldiers and ants have always been an independent existence. They usually live in burrows and will not cause any trouble to the soldiers in the barracks. The food is also very simple, basically from the ghost army. Those ordinary ghost fighters.

The West Route Army claims to have assembled 40 troops. Judging from the current situation, the most powerful legion is not the Constructed Knights led by Andrew, nor is it nearly 13 heavy armored infantry, but these are completely fearless on the battlefield. Dead ghost-striped soldier ants.

Every time a war starts, the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants will always be at the forefront. Taking advantage of the fight between the ghost soldiers and ghost-patterned soldiers, the knights and heavy armored infantry regiments will enter the battlefield.

In just one year, the successive victories won by the West Route Army in the northern Handanaer County completely established the dominance of the West Route Army in the northern battlefield of Handanaer County.

At the same time, since no lord army was willing to reinforce the Warsaw plane at the beginning, in order to prepare for these two reinforcements, the Pena Army Department made a promise that the Bena Army Department would bear all the military expenses for the supplies of the East and West armies. The spoils still belong to the lords and battlefield commanders of all parties.

It is precisely because of this contract that the West Route Army won a net profit of nearly [-] ordinary magic spar just from the [-] ghost-pattern soldier ants that died, not including the spoils of the evil ghost army.

The West Route Army also relied on the brilliant achievements of the year, and the entire army has grown savagely...

Suldak's Constructed Knights changed from the first two to five, and there were [-] more ant cavalry, and a monster army composed of nearly [-] giant ghost pattern soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that the first-turn knights of the last two Constructed Knights are basically tribal fighters who came out of the Aegrod tribe. Ke also absorbed nearly sixty Aigrod warriors, the so-called second-rank strongmen.

These second-rank strongmen of the Aigrod tribe were incorporated into each squadron of the Constructed Knights by Suldak. The Constructed Knight Squadron with the second-ranked strong will double its combat power.

Five Constructed Knights and nearly [-] giant ghost-patterned soldiers ants wandered around the North Sunderland Mountains. They were like locusts passing through the border. Almost no small group of evil spirits dared to appear at the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains.

……

The North Sunderland Mountains stretch for nearly 300 kilometers from east to west. The mountains in the eastern section gradually become less steep, and the cliffs become low mountains that plunge into the inner lake.

In a mountain depression less than 700 kilometers away from the inner lake, a regiment of about [-] evil spirits is trapped inside. Giant ghost-patterned soldier ants can be seen everywhere on the mountain ridge. With their cooperation, the army of evil spirits in the mountain depression has been completely wiped out, and the corpses of evil spirit soldiers are lying all over the rocky slope covered with trees.

Just now there was a killing battle here. After receiving the information from the magician scouting group, the Second Constructed Knights of the West Route Army set off from the Neihu Fortress on the south bank of the Neihu Lake and hurried all the way here, where they will be lurking here. The evil ghost army in the mountain depression in the forest area was defeated in one fell swoop.

The surrounding mountain ridges were full of ant cavalry and giant ghost soldier ants, and they intercepted the fleeing ghost warriors.

There are battles everywhere on the high mountains. Although these evil ghost warriors are much stronger than the ant cavalry, they are not good at climbing rock walls, and they escaped from the battlefield in the depression, so they have no fighting spirit. , so when facing the ant cavalry, they almost always fled in one-sided defeat.

Hitchcock, the leader of Constructed Knights, had just cut a foot-long wound on his arm when he was fighting against the evil general in this army. Although the bleeding had been stopped, and he was bandaged for first aid with a hemostatic bandage, However, it is still necessary to suture the wound as soon as possible.

Therefore, although a large number of evil spirits fled away on the battlefield, the Constructed Knights did not launch a deep pursuit.

Constructed knights began to pack up the spoils on the battlefield. Recently, Commander Suldak expanded the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry on a large scale. There are some gossips in the West Route Army. Many knights have heard that Suldak commanded Guan almost took out all his savings and invested in the battle of Moyunling Highland.

Even if it is a defeat in the next battle, it will have a huge impact on the West Route Army...

Therefore, the knights attach great importance to collecting spoils on the battlefield. In the past, many black-striped demon skins were casually discarded in the wilderness, but now the knights have dismounted and began to skin them seriously.

A group of knights rode on the backs of magic-weave warhorses and strangled the seriously injured ghost warriors on the slopes of this mountain depression. Behind them were a group of constructed knights who were skinning the black devils on foot.

With the completion of the construction of the Neihu Fortress, the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army have begun to launch an offensive from the Neihu Lake to the North Sunderland Mountains, and the cavalry regiment has gradually captured the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains.

Seeing the scattered evil spirits fleeing to the outside of the mountain, the squadron leaders of the Constructed Knights did not want to give up. Each evil spirit represents a rich contribution. Now after chasing them, the heads of these evil spirits are almost for nothing. .

But once these ghost warriors escaped from the mountain col, the adventure group ambushing outside the mountain col will definitely take a bite of this piece of fat.

Some constructed knights have seen members of the adventure group coming out of the dense forest. They constantly ambushed the fleeing ghost warriors with crossbow arrows and traps. Although these ghost warriors were covered with hard bone armor, they It is powerful again, but facing the special hunting net made by the adventure group, once caught in the net, it is impossible to get rid of it, and the more you struggle, the tighter it becomes...

Seeing the adventure group hunt and kill evil spirits outside the col, the Constructed Knights really wanted to chase them out...

"Captain, should we chase after him?" The third squadron leader held the head of General Evil Ghost in one hand, and the two-foot-long green horn in the other, and asked Hitchcock, the leader of the second knight formation.

"The Commander issued an order to us at the last meeting, allowing the adventure groups outside the col to fish for oil and water outside the battlefield, as long as they don't affect the battle on our side." Knight Commander Hitchcock said.

Then the knight leader ordered: "Tell the adventure group, let them be careful, there may be a small army of the evil ghost army in the nearby dense forest..."

"Yes!"

A messenger immediately agreed, turned around and rode his horse and ran towards the outside of the col.

Knight Commander Hitchcock saw that the battlefield here was almost cleaned up, so he immediately got on his horse and ordered to a group of constructed knights: "Let's go, go back to Neihu Fortress!"

The Whistle of Constructed Knights blew immediately, and then a 500-member Constructed Knights quickly ran out of the mountain, along the plains at the foot of the North Sunderland Mountains, towards the Neihu Fortress in the east. .

The ghost pattern soldiers and ant cavalry who were besieging the evil ghost warriors on the mountain ridge also quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and followed the Constructed Knights back to the Neihu Fortress.

……

Small-scale annihilation battles like this happen almost every day. The Constructed Knights of the West Route Army use various fortresses on the defense line as their bases, and use the very time-sensitive information provided by the Magician Scouting Group to raid those who haunt Beisen. The army of evil spirits in Mount Delan...

These five Constructed Knights will not stay in the North Senderland Mountains for too long. From launching an attack to ending the battle, they will basically be controlled within two hours. They will not wait for the support of the evil ghosts from other regions to come, and quickly withdraw. out of the mountains.

The benefits of such a blitzkrieg are very obvious. Since the Constructed Knights are a surprise attack and have an absolute advantage in strength, and there are ghost-pattern soldiers rushing ahead, there are very few cases of combat attrition.

The Constructed Knights of the West Route Army relied on Gaogang Fortress, Neihu Fortress, and Canyon Fortress to launch a surprise attack on North Sunderland. They have completely suppressed the Evil Ghost Army in the North Sunderland Mountains. With the Evil Ghost Army gradually retreating westward In the eastern part of the mountain range, there is only a small army of evil spirits lurking deep in the dense forest.

As long as these ghost fighters are cleared out, the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains will be considered the occupied area of ​​the West Route Army.

In addition, Suldak encouraged the adventure group to enter the North Sunderland battlefield, and promised the adventure group that as long as the adventure group does not affect the battle of the West Route Army, after defeating the evil ghost army, the adventure group can hunt and kill the fleeing evil ghost fighters at will , the West Route Army will not interfere with blocking.

On the day this military order was issued, more than [-] adventure groups ventured into the North Senderland Mountains overnight.

Facts have proved that Suldak's move is very effective. These adventure groups are like an invisible large net spread in the North Sunderland Mountains. They found a large army of evil spirits, and even fired magic flares to notify those who were at high altitude. Magicians who scout the enemy.

So much so that in just one month, the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains almost fell into the hands of the West Route Army.

The activity area of ​​the evil ghost army is further compressed...

Due to the large number of flying ghosts in the North Sunderland Mountains, the magicians of the reconnaissance team are not afraid to fly at low altitudes in the mountains, so the small army of ghosts hiding in the dense forest is difficult to find. With these adventures This changed when the regiment entered the North Sunderland Mountains.

These flying ghosts with bone wings also like to haunt the mountains in groups. They usually hide in the crevices of the cliffs. Airflow glides over long distances.

Flying evil spirits are a great threat to magicians. After the Constructed Knights drove away the large army of evil spirits, nearly [-] ant cavalry flooded into the eastern part of the mountain range, and a large number of ant cavalry climbed up the cliff. Use the standard repeater and short flying spear that you carry with you to hunt down the weak flying demons.

Until now, the role of these ant cavalry was fully highlighted.

Relying on the climbing ability of ghost-patterned soldiers, they can easily find the flying ghosts hiding in the crevices of the cliff, clearing the way for the magician scouting team.

……

The biggest advantage of the evil ghost army on the Moyunling Highlands is that there is a door of evil ghosts in the evil ghost camp on Mount Horsens. This door is connected to the dark area in the depths of the abyss. You can continuously enter the Moyunling Highland.

It's just that Suldak discovered recently that after launching the general offensive, the number of evil spirits on the Moyunling Highland continued to decrease, and during this period, except for some flying evil spirits, there was no legion at all from Horsens. Mountain camp out.

That is to say, due to the successive defeats of the Moyunling Highland Demon Army, the current Sanae Demon is very likely to be preparing to abandon the Moyunling Highland...

According to the information obtained from the Western Knights Alliance, they found a ghost door in a ghost camp on the Kempato River. After preliminary research by the magicians, everyone found that this ghost door is similar to a one-way door. The portal, that is, after the gate of evil spirits is established, the evil spirits in the abyss can only crawl over. Once they enter the Warsaw plane, there is no way to return the same way.

Suldak occupied the two mountain passes in the north and south of the Moyunling highland, and the evil ghost army on the highland had no way to escape, and now they could only fight with trapped beasts.

……

The Western Route Army has won successive battles in the eastern section of the North Senderland Mountains, and there are few evil spirits in the occupied area outside the fortress line of defense.

The merchant group brought in a large amount of supplies from the rear, and they are currently stockpiling them in the strongholds outside the Neihu Fortress. In order to seek profit, the merchants have become very courageous. As soon as the general attack on the North Sunderland Mountains started, they will stockpile in Epsom The supplies from the city were brought in.

The materials hoarded in the Neihu Fortress are almost enough for the 40 troops of the West Route Army to consume for the whole winter.

Before Baron Martino arrived at the Moyunling Highlands, news had already reached the ears of the merchants. They did not know where they heard it, saying that Commander Suldak was planning to build a city by the lake. This not only It is a big event, and for businessmen, it means a huge business opportunity that is rare in a few years.

Before Surdak gave any hint, a business group had already purchased the rock mining rights at the easternmost end of the North Sunderland Mountains from Surdak, and started to build a quarry on the west bank of the inner lake. The first batch of The stonemasons were recruited from the province of Evelson, and some of the remaining quarry laborers were homeless refugees in Epsom who had no way to return to the province of Evelson.

The first day Suldak came to Neihu Fortress, he discovered that there were already quarries and lumberyards here...

1588 Marriage

North Plains Fortress, the vanguard of the Aegrod Tribal Alliance Army camped at the foot of the North Mountain of North Sunderland.

With the retreat of the evil ghost army, the Aigrod tribal alliance army has begun to try to go deep into the mountains, and cooperate with the West Route Army to construct the knights and ant cavalry regiments to intercept the evil ghost army that is constantly fleeing westward.

In just over three months, Delia's temple guard has also expanded to 500 people. Although only [-] guard soldiers are riding black-horned elk, the rest of the soldiers can only ride ancient Bolai horses for the time being. , but the strength of this guard army is astonishing.

Although the escort team is under the command of the West Route Army, the actual area of ​​action is still the area occupied by the Aigrod tribe.

The main duty of Delia and her guards is to deal with emergencies between the tribal alliance army and the evil ghost army.

Delia's prestige in the Aegrod tribe is very high. No matter where she goes, Delia can feel the cheers of the aboriginal warriors...

She and her guards come and go like the wind on the battlefield, especially when the situation of the battle has become one-sided, the guards have become synonymous with 'protector gods'.

The entire northern tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains fell into the hands of the Alliance Army of the Aegrod Tribes.

This also means that except for North Sunderland Mountain and Horsens Mountain, the entire Moyun Ridge has been included in the territory occupied by the West Route Army.

Recently, the evil ghost army trapped in the mountains often counterattacked the tribal alliance army.
