784. Victory in the Battle of the Canyon

The cavalry relied on the charge and could smash the knight's spear, which was more than five meters long, into the body covered with hard armor of the ghostly soldier ants.

Measuring more than three meters in length, the Ghost Striped Soldier Ant looks like a grumpy one-horned bison, but they are stronger than the one-horned bison, have a worse temper, and spit sour rotten liquid.

Even if he has a knight's spear stuck in his body and is half-lying on the battlefield, he will still drag half of his immobile body and attack the cavalry.

But what followed them was another knight's spear.

They would be pinned to the ground with spears, and even if there was room to struggle, they would be slashed by the cavalry that followed them.

A large number of ghost-patterned worker ants have become the souls of the dead under the iron hooves of war horses.

Under Andrew's leadership, the 170 cavalry did not plan to penetrate the entire Dodan Gorge.

They just crushed a large colony of red ants that were about to move towards the northern city wall, and then they circled the canyon clearing.

The distance of the charge was reopened, and a second charge was launched at these tenacious red ants, who were like bayonets, and the purpose was to use this gouging tactic to break up the colony.

The ant colony, which numbered nearly 10,000, was successfully cut into seven islands by the cavalry under the impact of one hundred and seventy cavalrymen.

Among the nearly 10,000 ghost red ants, there are less than 1,000 ghost ant soldiers.

There are no high-level demonic beasts like giant chariots like ghost-patterned male ants, and these soldier ants are not a big threat to ogres.

The ogre Gulitm did not want to come out again after he entered the ant colony, and after he had a brother, his body entered a second stage of development.

His strong physique gave him the power to completely suppress the ghostly soldier ants.

Standing in the dense ant colony, his lower body was almost covered with sour putrid liquid, but these sour putrid liquids were almost blocked by the ice armor on his body, which looked extremely miserable, but in fact, the sour putrid liquid did not touch his body.

The bone-shattering stick in his hand didn't know how many heads of ghost-patterned soldier ants had been broken, and occasionally a fireball would be thrown from his body.

The fireball exploded around the ogre's side like a brilliant firework.

……

As the cavalry cut through a group on the battlefield, the horse infantry behind entered the field.

With the cooperation of 200 archers, Surdak led 800 infantry soldiers to concentrate on clearing the ant colony that had been divided in the easternmost part.

There were probably more than 2,000 ghost-patterned red ants here, but under the impact of the cavalry, the number of ghost-patterned soldiers was reduced to more than 100.

For ordinary heavy infantry soldiers, the Ghost Striped Soldier Ant is still very threatening, but if the tactics are right, it only takes three people to work together to block a Ghost Tattoo Soldier Ant.

As long as you are careful to dodge the acid of the ghost pattern worker ants, the strength of ordinary infantry and worker ants is about the same.

Adams and Gallatin followed behind Surdak, and the two of them were mainly staring at the giant ghost-striped soldier ants that suddenly appeared in the ant colony.

This giant ghost-patterned red ant is the big killer in the ant colony, they are infinitely powerful, and the hard armor is very strong, killing from the ant colony, without the suppression of the bed crossbow, even if the ordinary warrior has the aura of Surdak's power, it can't stop those giant soldier ants.

Samira stood at the head of the archers, and she stood on top of a wooden frame resembling a siege engine, with four wheels underneath, drawn by six Gubolai horses into battle.

She is specifically responsible for the battlefield, and once the warriors encounter danger on the battlefield, Samira will use her superb bow skills to shoot those ghost-patterned red ants to minimize the casualties of the hoplites.

An army of nearly 1,000 people will soon be able to dispose of this divided ant colony.

Andrew's axe is pointing in the direction in which the cavalry charges.

The fierce fighting turned the whole battlefield into chaos, and Surdak stood in the front row of the hoplites, who were more accustomed to this infantry way of fighting.

The battle lasted from morning to night, and as the entire ant colony was eaten by the Dodan garrison, the larger ant colony in the canyon didn't even come closer to this side of the battlefield.

The colony was driven by cavalry and archers to the northern part of the canyon, and they were large in number, but extremely loosely organized, covered by a rain of arrows, leaving behind dead and wounded ghost workers, and the rest of the red ants were constantly forced to retreat.

……

The first time the town's mercenary regiment and caravan hunting group saw the cavalry battalion fighting in the field, they saw a group of cavalry overthrowing a large number of ant colonies, which made all the mercenaries a little dumbfounded.

All along, although these mercenaries cooperated with the garrison to fight at the head of the city, they still retained this pride in their hearts.

The mercenaries believed that the reason why the garrison was able to hold the north wall was not because of their own strength, but because the high north wall blocked the footsteps of the ghost red ants, and the garrison used sufficient ordnance and materials, they constantly set fires, threw fire scale bullets, and relied on bed crossbows and rolling stones to block the ghost red ants.

In terms of real combat effectiveness, a single mercenary with strong strength can throw these garrison cavalry a few streets away.

The mercenaries believed that as long as they were given a set of magical pattern structures and sturdy horses, they would be a reserve of the Constructed Knights.

In any case, it must be stronger than ordinary cavalry......

In fact, there are many people in the caravan hunting party, and they also have this opinion.

It's just that everything in front of them now has completely changed the perception of the mercenaries, and when they look at these cavalry coming down from the battlefield again, their eyes become a little more respectful.

When the cavalry rushed to kill in front, the infantry behind cleaned up the divided red ants, and the battlefield was full of corpses of large and small ghost-patterned red ants.

At dusk, some horse-drawn carriages passed through the North Gate and entered the rear of the battlefield in Dodan Gorge.

The warriors stacked the harvested red ant carcasses in different categories, and many wagons loaded with various supplies returned to the town of Dodan one after another.

……

Surdak led the main force of the garrison back to the town of Dodan, and the townspeople crowded into the open space behind the northern wall, leaving only a narrow passage, and in a cheer, buckets of water diluted with ant grass juice poured out from both sides, and the sour and rotten liquid on their bodies was quickly washed away by the water as the cavalry passed through the passage.

No matter where you are, the worship of warriors will not change.

The girls of the town stood at the front of the crowd, holding basins of pale green juice in their hands, and splashed water on the horsemen on horseback.

The daring cavalry would even bend down on horseback and hook the fiery girl's waist with one hand for a brief kiss.

Some merchants also took the opportunity to get caught in the crowd, stretching their necks from time to time, wanting to hook up with some cavalrymen, wanting to buy their private goods in private.

By the time the cavalry entered the garrison camp, they were drenched in soup one by one.

Although everyone had exhaustion on their faces, there was a kind of excitement.

Surdak was the first to visit the wounded soldiers in the camp.

Under the bath wall, Andrew and the ogre are comparing the scars on their bodies, these two people have a kind of ruthlessness when they fight, even if Andrew wears the 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure, he is still covered in wounds, so Surdak is inevitably a little worried, this set of magic pattern armor can still be worn on Andrew's body for a few days.

As long as there is a war, it is inevitable that some soldiers will die on the battlefield.

No matter how busy he was, Surdak would attend the funeral, and at the funeral he would announce the exploits of the deceased soldiers, the personal property he owned, and the subsequent placement of their families in public.

Of course, these are also the things that the other cavalry want to know the most.

Whenever this happens, the merit exchange list in the barracks has become the most shining existence, because those merits are golden coins, magic crystals, or precious monster leather.

The cavalry battalion was stationed in the town of Dodan for more than a month, and many of the veterans harvested wealth that they had never had in their lives.

……

The next day, Surdak announced a decision: to expand the garrison camp.

The camp currently has 1,500 garrisons, and although some new huts and dormitories have been built in the camp, the camp is particularly crowded with so many people at once.

With a stroke of his pen on the town map of Dodan Town, Surdak expanded the narrow strip of land between the northern wall and the barracks to form a large area with the city guard brigade, which, according to Surdak's plan, would completely separate the cavalry, infantry, and archers.

Each class has its own camp to avoid the growing number of minor frictions.

The current town of Dodan is in Surdak's final say, and of course Lady Luna will not refuse this matter.

Therefore, he submitted the proposal to the town hall, which was approved at the first time, and since this land is a reserve land in the town, the town has the right to decide on the right to use it.

In the morning, timber and stone from the lumber and quarry were transported to the gate of the station.

Selena personally went to the town and hired a group of craftsmen to build the wall according to the area that Surdak had divided on the map of the town.

……

The midday sun left a small shadow on the ground on the gray tiles of the small barracks building.

Signa stood on a wooden bench in front of the railing of the small building, hanging the washed bandages on the clothesline. She was so small that she had to stand on her tiptoes to get a clothesline, even if she stepped on a wooden stool.

Nika walked in and out of the small building with a basin of water, almost trotting all the way.

Yesterday's battle in the gorge left the barracks full of wounded soldiers, and yesterday the seriously wounded were treated overnight, and the lightly wounded soldiers were treated today.

After a busy morning, Surdak did not suspend his treatment until his mental strength was exhausted, there was no need to start the sacrificial ceremony, and the remaining wounded soldiers were estimated to wait until the evening, when his mental strength recovered a little, before he could receive the treatment of the Holy Light Technique.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and planned to take advantage of the free time in the afternoon after lunch to peel off the complete life demon pattern on the giant ghost pattern red ant that was captured yesterday.

The ghost red ants in the canyon retreated to the northern section, and the garrison camp did not go out again, but only opened the gate of the north city wall, and the mercenary group and the merchant hunting team hunted the ghost red ants in the canyon.

Selena walked in from outside the small building wrapped in a headscarf and carrying a food box.

The morning sun was a little abundant, and she had spent the whole morning outside directing the craftsmen to build the fence, and the bright sun had made her face a little red.

As long as she eats in the barracks, she will bring her lunch back to the small building, and usually will not eat it in the cafeteria.

Nika and Signa help clean up the table and set the plates.

As soon as Surdak had eaten a bite of the fried pork steak, the guards at the gate ran outside the small building and informed Surdak that Malacom, the owner of the Thunder Rhino Caravan, was outside the barracks and wanted to visit Surdak.

At this time, Surdak remembered that there were two thunder rhinos recuperating in Dodan Town, and Handel Quartermaster asked him to help take care of them, but there were so many things recently, he didn't even go to see them once, and he didn't know what the situation of the two injured thunder rhinos was at present.

He put down the knife in his hand and asked Selena if she knew about the situation in the town.

Selena shook her head, but Nika sat at the dining table on the side, and whispered: "Those two thunder rhinos are the toes that have been corroded by red formic acid and festered, and in the past few days of recuperation in the town, the local aborigines have used grass juice to help those two pilots, and have cleaned the wounds of the thunder rhinoceros a few times, and now they are almost healed, and those two big guys are still docile, but they are too good to eat, and they have been eating grass almost all day long." ”

Surdak nodded, thinking to himself that nothing had happened, otherwise he would not have been able to give Handel an explanation.

I didn't expect that the boss of this Thunder Rhino caravan would personally rush to Dodan Town, thinking that he still had a large number of leather goods entrusted to this caravan to be transported to Bena City, and since the owner of the caravan was here, he really needed to meet him.

So he asked the guards to go to the gate of the barracks and invite the owner of the Thunder Rhino Caravan in.

After thinking about it, I put down the lunch in front of me and walked out of the small building to greet it.

……

Malacombe has been running the Thunder Rhino Caravan for twenty-six years, and he took over the business from his father, Malacombe Sr., when his father ran the Thunder Rhino Caravan and almost monopolized all the transportation business in the White Forest Plane, and the Thunder Rhino Caravan was once expanded to twelve.

But now, the caravan has been in his hands for more than twenty years, and has lost almost all business in the northern region of the White Forest Plane.

Only eight Thunder Rhino caravans are still active in the southern region, and even so, three of these eight Thunder Rhino caravans are not fully formed.

Of course, there are many reasons for the decline of the merchant group, but the most important thing is that Malacomb wants to transfer part of the industry of the White Forest Plane to the province of Bednar Bank, after all, in recent years, there have been frequent plane wars, and all his family property is on the plane, once the Dark Legion of the Abyss Prison invades the White Forest, it is likely that he will become nothing overnight.

Originally, the two Thunder Rhinos were slightly injured, and only one animal trainer needed to be sent over, and the matter should be resolved.

Even if the local garrison entrusts a large number of leather goods and materials to transport business, this kind of business does not know how much to receive in the Thunder Rhino Caravan every year, and there is no need for him to come to negotiate business in person.

Malacomb came to Dodan Town in person this time, in fact, he had some plans of his own.

In view of the possibility of a plane war breaking out at any time, Malacomb hopes to be able to make friends with some of the Bailin military forces, at least in the early stages of the outbreak of the plane war, to obtain the protection of the military.

At present, almost all of his contacts are in the southern Wilkes region.

And the northern region is now a once-in-a-decade beast tide, and Malacom, with the keen sense of smell of a merchant, immediately smelled some opportunities, so he came to Dodan Town himself.

He had actually arrived in Dodan yesterday, just in time to see the local garrison win a great victory, and the whole town was in the middle of the road to welcome the triumphant warriors.

Seeing that the commander of the garrison was such a radical, he wanted to make friends even more.
