Selena lay on her side on the bed, not even daring to open her eyes, she was afraid that Surdak would peek into the secrets of her pupils.

Goddess Celine seems to be full of curiosity about everything here, as long as she wants to understand the world, she will use the 'Goddess Descending' to send a trace of divine thought into her body, and she will not fight for control of the body, more like a second personality sharing the same body.

However, this will occasionally make Selena feel a little ashamed of someone peeping around.

Selena has dedicated her life to the goddess Celine, so naturally she will not have any resistance to the goddess.

Surdak hugged gently from behind, his breathing was smooth and even, he should be asleep.

Sometimes Selena even secretly used the power of the Dark Goddess to enter Surdak's dreams, but she basically only dared to touch those dreams that had some shadows of her, which would help him recover some mental power, but this time she did not enter his dreams.

Selena opened her eyes, and the curtains kept the moonlight out of the window......

The biggest benefit of the frequent arrival of divine thoughts for Selena is that her affinity for the dark element has improved a lot in the past half month, and her body has almost reached the state of a dark body.

Surdak rolled over in his sleep, the blanket slid to the side, and his naked upper body was covered with scars, which were a little shocking to look at.

The goddess was still attached to her body, so that she did not feel the slightest sleep, wrapped in a blanket and sat up from the bed, walked barefoot to the window, and looked up at the blood-red crescent moon in the night sky.

The soft night breeze caressed her long, silky chestnut hair, making her back tickle.

In fact, Selena knows that when the goddess comes, it is best for the divine thoughts to fall on Xigna, because Xigna's body and mind are relatively pure, and she can better integrate with the divine thoughts, and Xigna's physique is also relatively special, and there is no loss when accepting the divine thoughts.

But recently, Celine seems to like to descend directly on her, and even consumed some divine power to put a sign on her chest.

Stretching out his white and greasy arm like a lotus root, he opened the curtains a little, and felt a little sweaty in his body.

Walking into the independent bathroom of the master bedroom, there is still half a tank of water in the bathtub.

The hard life in Wall Village had made her accustomed to using cold water in the bath, and the ornamentation on her chest was a little hot, and she felt that the trace of divine thought began to slowly withdraw from her body when she sat in the bathtub.

Floated overhead like an invisible light mist.

Then a beam of pure darkness shone through the rubble, beams, and wooden ceiling on the ridge of the roof.

That divine thought quickly rose into the sky along this dark light.

And under this pure black beam, her body seems to enter a state of nourishment, she feels that her skin is full of vitality, every tiny sweat pore is breathing, the skin of her body is as white as a smooth ivory under the darkness, and the faint eye bands and nasolabial folds that appeared a few days ago are being eliminated.

It feels like you're swimming against the tide of time.

As her body absorbed the dark element, the shadow of the patio and the goddess behind her resurfaced.

She just leaned quietly in the bathtub, and the countless dark breaths around her formed a vortex and poured into her body.

It was almost dawn before Selena lay back on the bed, resting on the intoxicating strong arms, closing her eyes against his chest, quietly listening to the powerful heartbeat.

In the morning, I have to go to the market to inspect the transaction price, those ghost pattern soldiers and ants hard leather armor that have not been counted, and continue to count and check and pack into storage, in recent days, the merit value of the cavalry in the cavalry camp has increased a little fast, and some soldiers have tried to exchange some gold coins.

Every day, many people gather around the merit exchange list, looking forward to the new round of rewards being updated as soon as possible.

She also hoped that the magic weapons and individual magic pattern structures ordered by Surdak would arrive soon, and everyone's merit value would be reduced.

The afternoon can be spent preaching the dark teachings to the aborigines, who can be said to be blind and disorderly about their current lives.

She felt that with the help of the hand of the goddess, they would become more positive in their attitude towards life.

The vast majority of the aborigines in the town do not have any assets, and live in the slums of the town's aboriginal settlements, and everyone's life is leisurely and simple.

Of course, there are many reasons for the poverty and hardship of the local aborigines, of course, not only the oppression and exploitation of the imperial merchants, but also the laziness of the aborigines themselves.

They have empty hands and feet, but they have a lazy personality, they will spend the money they earn immediately, and they do not like to save money.

Many aborigines don't even have a sense of family, and they want to live together if they are in love, but they don't want to face the future together.

They need someone to guide them in order to be exposed to more colorful lives.

Believe in the glory of darkness and become believers in darkness!

Selena closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep......

……

In the morning, as soon as Surdak returned to the barracks, he heard Andrew's report that some scattered ghost-striped red ants had appeared near the town's forest farm, and a caravan hunting party had rushed over to deal with them.

He walked around the barracks, looked at the progress of the expansion of the barracks, and asked the craftsmen to tear down and rebuild several unreasonable places.

Before he could sit down for a glass of water, he heard the town's messenger arrive and report to him that some ghostly ants had also been found in a ranch in the southern part of the town.

Obviously, the ghost-patterned red ants in the Dodan Gorge have been driven to the northernmost section by the cavalry battalion, but now the ghost-patterned red ants frequently appear in the outskirts of Dodan Town, which makes Surdak have some bad premonitions.

Andrew was supposed to lead the cavalry battalion to the northern part of the canyon again in the morning to clean up the ant colony there, but this time the operation to clear the red ants was canceled by Surdak.

He asked all the cavalry in the cavalry battalion to rest in the camp for two days and adjust their current state.

The wooden hut for the two Thunder Rhinos has been completely completed, and the bed crossbow will be installed on the platform in the morning.

Samira ran to the top of the city wall with a few city guards who were familiar with the structure of the bed crossbow early, removed the four bed crossbows, and used the hanging tower to hang the upper part of the heavy bed crossbow with the pitching frame to the platform, and then connected the bed crossbow to the pedestal in the center of the platform, and the two thunder rhinoceros had the appearance of a little war beast.

The wooden platform on which the Thunder Rhino was loaded was originally flanked by simple shelves, which were made very simple in order to be able to carry as much cargo as possible.

Now Surdak has also made some changes to these shelves for carrying goods, adding marksman slots to the shelves, and the entire Thunder Rhino can carry six archers on each side of the shelves in addition to the two bed crossbows in front and back.

By the time Surdak inspected the two Thunder Rhinos in the afternoon, his hunch had finally been fulfilled......

A letter for help from the town of Plantos was sent to Surdak, with little extra writing on it, only scribbled: All the soldiers of the 13th Cavalry Regiment of the Luthor Regiment and the 19th Heavy Infantry Regiment have been killed, and the independent cavalry battalion of the garrison of Dodan Town is ordered to rush to the town of Plantos immediately, and must arrive at the mouth of the canyon on the evening of April 23 to prevent the ant colony from entering the northern occupation zone.

In addition to this sentence, only the scarlet seal of the military department was stamped on it.

Surdak didn't expect the situation in the town of Plantos to be so serious.

When he first arrived in the Luther Legion, he was not familiar with the other armies in the Legion, and basically did not have any personal contact with the surrounding garrison commanders, let alone the garrisons in the surrounding towns.

Surdak did not see the Chester Swordsman's autograph on it, and it seems that this order was not issued by the Chester Swordsman.

This kind of requisition order lacks the signature of the Chester Archswordsman, which only means that the matter is so urgent that this order does not have time to pass it one by one.

In this case, Surdak has a lot more choice.

He could have waited for the Deputy Commander of the Luther Legion in the Bailin Plane to sign the requisition order, and it would be impossible for the military headquarters to hold him accountable at that time.

It is also possible to send troops immediately and enter the town of Plantos with this requisition, without being accused of deserting and leaving the garrison at will.

A large number of ghostly red ants invaded the town of Plantos, and the situation on this side of the Dodan Gorge was relatively stable, Surdak immediately decided to send troops to the town of Plantos, but the north wall of the Dodan Gorge also needs to be garrisoned, and the Chester Great Swordsman brought over to reinforce the five hundred heavy infantry and two hundred archers of Dodan Town, and the city guard brigade should stay in Dodan Town to guard the north wall.

Adams and the ogre stayed behind in the town of Dodan, and Surdak led the three captains Andrew, Samira, and Gallatin with 800 cavalry to set out before dusk.

This time, you can also bring these two newly armed thunder rhinos.

When the cavalry team was gathered, it was discovered that more than half of the 300 cavalry who came to Dodan Town as reinforcements actually took the opportunity of the rotation to run out of the northern city wall without permission and go to the Dodan Gorge to hunt ghost-patterned red ants to earn merits.

Adams was dumbfounded when he received the order to assemble the cavalry, and immediately sent his cronies to the Dodan Gorge to recall the cavalry.

The western mountain beam obscured all the sunlight in the valley, and Surdak raised the torch of holy light in his hand, a burning flame

Although he only waited for less than 700 cavalry, Surdak still decided to set out according to the scheduled time.

In the passage of the northern city wall across the town, some cavalry squads rushed desperately towards the gathering point in the south of the town, but the horn of departure at the southern exit of the town had already sounded.

The townspeople gathered from all over with puzzled expressions, and watched with some dumbfounded eyes as the columns of cavalry departed.

All the cavalry were in a state of rapid march, leaving the two Thunder Rhinos behind as soon as they set off.

The two Thunder Rhinos carried not only four bed crossbows, but also twenty-four of the best archers, as well as a full load of arrows, rations and other supplies.

In just half a day, more ghost-patterned red ants appeared around Dodan Town, and some mercenary groups and merchant hunting teams withdrew from the canyon after hearing the news and joined the army of cleaning up the ghost-patterned red ants around the town.

The seven hundred cavalry simply ignored the ghostly red ants they encountered along the way, and under the leadership of Surdak, they rushed all the way east to the town of Plantos.

Surdak had some headaches because he didn't know how many queens had broken in.

It seems that the number of queens should be insufficient, otherwise there should not be so many scattered ghostly red ants, and these queens need to restrain all the subjects in their kingdom and continue to look south for suitable land where they can establish a red ant empire.

Just after the early hours of the morning, the ghost red ants that appeared around have made it impossible for the cavalry to continue to rush, some ghost red ants appear in groups, they have a very strong sense of attack, as long as they find a sound where they will gather,

He didn't even need a guide from Dodan Town, Surdak already knew that this was supposed to be entering the territory of the town of Plantos.

Unable to get rid of these oncoming ghost-patterned red ants, the cavalry could only put on a sharp sagittal formation, facing a small stream of ghost-patterned red ants to kill inside.

The war horses implanted with the life magic pattern rushed to the front, this group of war horses was full of physical strength, and half of the knights were veterans who had reached the strength of one turn.

It was until dawn, and the two thunder rhinos behind had already followed.

The mountain ridge that the cavalry had found was overgrown with broad-leaved forests, and Surdak had two thunderous rhinos blocking the foot of the mountain, and seven hundred cavalry camped halfway up the mountain.

Due to the cavalry marching all night, although a group of demonic war horses opened the way in front, all the war horses were basically exhausted after a whole night of marching.

The camp did not have time to settle down, first to give the horses water and bean feed, in the cavalry camp, when resting in the field, the war horses have always been in the first place, and when all the horses have been fed, the cavalry took out the small iron pot, and put a little slimy marching rations next to the big iron pot that burned in the open space.

The taste of this marching ration is very simple, and it is not bad to eat it once in a while, but if you eat several meals in a row, you need to mix some wild vegetables into it.

The rising sun shone on the land in front of you, the morning mist lifted, and a large meadow beneath the mountain range came into view.

Wave after wave of ghost-striped red ants appeared on the grass, and looking in the direction of these red ants, a huge gap appeared between the mountains in the distance, but this gap was very different from the Dodan Canyon, this is not a canyon fissure, but a pass between two high mountains.

The town of Prentos was built on this pass halfway up the mountain.

But now that I look at the past, there are still puffs of gunsmoke wafting from this pass and the town, and from a distance, there are dark red dots constantly moving.

Surdak was in the meadows below the ridge, and there weren't even any fleeing townsfolk in sight.

The number of ghostly red ants is too large, and the town of Plantos was breached the day before yesterday, so it is difficult for the townspeople to survive the onslaught of ants unless they can find some shelter for such a long time.

Andrew stood beside Surdak, staring solemnly at the ruins of the dilapidated town on the mountains in the distance, and spat at the stump next to him......
