Surdak unearthed a hand-drawn map from his half-collapsed tent, which showed the entire Thorn Mountains and the Invercargill Monster Forest, with the Dodan Gorge in the middle of the Thorn Mountains.

To the south of the Thorn Mountains are vast green grasslands, to the north of the Thorn Mountains is a belt of hills, further north are Invercargill Monster Forest and the Dark Worm Valley, and further north are unexplored and unknown areas.

Perhaps there was a third-turn archmage or great swordsman in the Grimm Empire who had set foot in that area.

But so far, no maps and no information have come out.

Surdak's hand-drawn map is also based on the military map, and the various adventure groups have added the information in the Warcraft Forest with one pen, and many places are not detailed.

At the northern exit of the Dodan Gorge, Surdak took it upon himself to correct a few mistakes.

Although this map is full of holes, it is the only map that Surdak can get his hands on.

"Where are those ghost-striped males?" Surdak stared at the map and asked Andrew.

Andrew hurriedly leaned over, pointed to an area of the hills and mountains, and said with some uncertainty, "Oh...... Probably this area, the terrain on this map is a little different from the actual mountainous area, and I can't tell where they are. ”

Surdak hammered his forehead with some distress.

At this time, Gulitham, who was sitting outside the tent, put his head in again and shouted to Surdak: "I can find them, I remember the smell of meat on them." Wherever they go, I can pull them out. ”

Surdak exhaled a little sulk, stood next to the map and muttered, "How can you let it escape so easily after killing so many of my cavalry......"

Lance lifted the curtain of the tent and heard Surdak's words.

He stood at the doorway with a look of surprise on his face and asked Surdak, "Dark, aren't you going to return to Dodan Town with these seriously wounded cavalry?" ”

Surdak walked up to Lance, invited him into the tent, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "You are the one who helped me to send these wounded soldiers back to Dodan, I want to kill the cunning queen." ”

"Ah, why me?" Lance said with a bitter face, and then asked Surdak: "Well, even if I want to help you, but with so many seriously injured cavalry, how can I send them back to Dodan Town?" ”

Surdak said to Lance, "I ask for your help, of course, for my reasons, I know that Miss Golina is a water magician, and if she is willing to help, she can give some regular treatment to these wounded soldiers along the way, and of course, I will be grateful if she is willing to help me take care of these wounded soldiers for a while in Dodan Town." ”

"How long will it take?" Lance asked, frowning.

"Wait until I'll get back!" Surdak replied.

Lance took a deep breath and said stiffly, "No problem, I can promise you on behalf of Golina." ”

"Thank you." Surdak tapped Lance on the shoulder.

A cavalry squadron leader stood at the door of the tent and reported: "Chief, the carriage from the town of Dodan is coming. ”

When Surdak and Lance stepped out of their tents, they saw a four-wheeled carriage slowly approaching from the direction of the Dodan Gorge in the night.

The camp was dimly lit, and Selena sat in the front of the van.

When the coachmen saw that the piles of bonfire ashes on the outskirts of the camp had not been completely extinguished, and that there were dead ghost-striped red ants everywhere, and that there was no one to clean them up, they had a premonition that something was wrong.

When they drove the wagons into the camp, they saw that the camp was in shambles, with many wounded soldiers lying on the ground against their tents, and the coachmen looked panicked.

They had come from Dodan and had planned to transport the hard armor of the soldiers harvested by the cavalry back to Dodan, but seeing the current situation, the coachmen all walked up to Selena and asked her what to do next.

Selena, holding the long hem of her skirt in one hand, stepped over the corpse of a ghost-patterned soldier ant and walked down the hilly slope to the front of the tent.

Seeing that Surdak was wearing a shuffling salamander leather armor and looked uninjured, a hanging heart was put down, and he bowed his head and made a gesture of prayer, muttering in a low voice: "Oh, thank you to the Supreme Goddess of Darkness!" ”

She didn't care about the blood stains on Surdak's body, she stepped forward and hugged Surdak, and her heart was steady.

Surdak put his arm around Selena's soft shoulders and said to her, "Now it is imperative to organize these wagons to transport the wounded soldiers back to the barracks, where the hard armor of these soldiers and ants will be piled up for the time being. ”

The hills and mountains at night are full of stars.

The night breeze is blowing, and some small sounds can be heard in the distance, like ghost-patterned red ants constantly gnawing on something.

The tents on the hillside were full of wounded soldiers, and Selena asked Surdak:

"Do you want to take them back to Dodan now?"

Surdak strode past the camp and, while examining the wounded cavalry, said:

"Yes, Lance and his magician friends will escort you all the way back to the barracks."

Selena asked, "Wizard Reims and they escorted us back to Dodan Town, that is...... Are you still going to stay? ”

Surdak nodded, his face was a little serious, and he said in a firm tone: "The other ant colonies can live a little longer, but we must kill that ant queen." ”

"Alright! Then be careful. Selena whispered.

She secretly clenched her fists and kept her head down, lest anyone see the sly gaze in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Surdak still wanted to exterminate this ghost pattern ant colony, this time she wanted to stay, but if she said it now, she knew that Surdak would definitely not agree.

Selena then began to organize wagons to carry all the seriously wounded cavalry onto the wagons, and the carriages of the four-wheeled wagons were covered with a layer of felt, which allowed more than a dozen cavalrymen to lie on them at the same time, and twenty four-wheeled wagons were almost filled with wounded cavalry.

In addition to more than two hundred wounded cavalrymen, Lance also placed more than sixty jars full of ashes in wooden boxes and placed them on the carriage.

During this time, Selena secretly ran to the back of the tent, folded her hands and prayed to the goddess 'Goddess coming', and then walked out as if nothing had happened.

The cavalry captain handed the list of fallen cavalry to Selena, who nodded slightly and put the list away.

The convoy did not rest on this side of the camp.

Under the starry sky, twenty four-wheeled carriages rushed back to the town of Dodan overnight.

Surdak personally put Selena in the carriage and watched her disappear into the night.

When the convoy arrived at Dodan Town, it was already early in the morning, and seeing so many wounded soldiers being sent back by the carriage, the entire northern city wall guards were in an uproar, and everyone couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

The coachman transporting the wounded ran up to Lance and asked what to do with the wounded.

At this time, Lance found out that Ms. Selena did not return to Dodan Town with the convoy, when she left, he didn't even know, and he didn't find out all the way, if it wasn't for the coachman who came to ask how to deal with these wounded soldiers after arriving in Dodan Town, he didn't find out that Selena actually left.

Fortunately, before Selena secretly left the convoy, she left a message for Lance, asking Lance to go to the barracks to find the interim head Adams after arriving in Dodan Town.

……

It wasn't until the convoy had been out for a long time that the cavalry in the camp had only taken a short break and began to pack up at night.

Selena stepped out of the darkness and walked directly into the Surdak tent.

At this moment, her eyes showed another look, her pupils changed to another color, and her whole face was serious, silent, and her whole body exuded a faint coercion that did not belong to her.

When she saw Surdak, she just said briefly: "I'm going to stay and help you!" ”

He sat silently in the corner of the tent.

Surdak had been accustomed to the recent 'Goddess Arrivals', and he knew that Selena had not lost her consciousness at this time, but only had a trace of divine thought to share her body with her, and this divine thought could bring her some unexpected benefits.

For example, the body has more dark elemental affinity, and the body has some stronger abilities.

In this state, Selena can cast the 'Dark Mist' at night, and this kind of domain-type range magic can completely block the perception of the ghost-patterned red ants, and can almost perfectly suppress the ghost-patterned ant queen.

Since he had stayed, Surdak didn't say anything more, but he felt that the dark goddess seemed to be very enthusiastic, and she was too good to say anything to her gods, but she was a little cold and didn't like to talk much.

In fact, Surdak has a little misunderstanding of the divine thought, the trace of divine thought that the goddess of darkness descended on Selena has no subjective consciousness, or independent thinking or the like, it only has a trace of the breath on the goddess's body, which can make Selena have a powerful dark power.

Selena's mood has changed a little, mainly due to her own reasons, she feels that she is only a dark apostle at this time, of course, she must maintain a little majesty.

Perhaps this thought can occasionally give feedback to some of the apostles' subtle emotions, but it is a trivial matter.

……

The cavalry demolished the half-collapsed barracks tent.

Andrew was reorganizing the remaining cavalry of the cavalry battalion outside the camp, and these cavalrymen were quickly recovering with the blessing of the 'Divine Blessed Body'.

The two-headed ogre said that he was going to look for the smell of the ghostly ant queen outside the camp, but some cavalrymen heard an exaggerated fighting sound behind the hills outside the camp, and the cavalry who ran over to reconnoiter returned and said that the ogre was beating himself, and it seemed that Gulitham and his good brother Brainflower had a little dispute.

Samira stood on the platform on the back of the thunderous rhinoceros, and her whole person seemed to melt into the night, as if there were a pair of eyes on the ground from above.

Surdak took Selena to climb up to the second formation of the Thunder Rhino, pushed open the door of the wooden house, and saw Aphrodite in a black robe lying on the floor of the wooden house, her graceful figure looking a little bewitching in the dark.

Surdak was a little speechless and said, "I didn't even summon you, how can you come by yourself." ”

Aphrodi sat up lazily with a faint smile on her face and said to Surdak:

"I made the summoning scroll myself, of course, you have to accept my wishes occasionally, and I think that if I don't come over by myself, you don't plan to notify me of this kind of thing, and you don't want me to help......"

For this equal symbiosis magic contract signed with the succubus, Surdak gradually felt that the rights and interests that belonged to him seemed to be a little less.

Especially after Aphrodite gave him a few summoning scrolls, although it was said that they could summon each other...... But other dark mages study those powerful forbidden ones. The main thing to avoid black magic is to summon powerful demons from the hell realm, even if it is for a short period of time, and then the demons will return to the hell realm.

But now Surdak found that the few summoning scrolls he owned didn't seem to be so reliable.

This contract of equality and symbiosis is obviously more convenient and advantageous for the caster.

Surdak walked into the cabin and explained, "I think I can handle it. ”

Selena pushed the door straight into the next room and sat alone in the room.

Aphrodite sat down in front of Surdak and said to him with a smile:

"Hey...... We have a symbiotic contract, you can't always take risks or put yourself in danger, or I won't be able to take a good vacation on the side of Pusquid Mountain, and I won't be in the mood to enjoy a volcanic ash bath by the hot lava pool, and I think I can try the power ......of these two magic patterns, I feel like my wings are back. ”

Aphrodite stood up, her chest bulging. She spun around in front of Surdak, the black robe clinging to her body, showing off the graceful curves of her back.

……

"Head, everyone is ready."

Andrew stood under the belly of the Thunder Rhino and shouted at the top of his lungs at the top of the cabin.

Surdak came out of the hut and saw the cavalry in order

The two-headed ogre with a blue nose and swollen face stood beside Andrew, and sure enough, as the old fable said, he was the only one who could hurt the ogre......

"Gulitham, which direction are they." Surdak asked the two-headed ogre.

Finding something to do for them might be able to distract them, for a pure-blooded ogre, there's nothing a soup pot can't solve.

"Over there......" said the two-headed ogre urn in a huffy voice.

It seemed that the fight just now was fierce, and his voice had changed, and he was a little slurred.

"Let's catch up!"

Surdak gave the order.

The cavalry, led by the ogre, walked down the slope in a neat line.

Leave the messy camp behind you, and ignore the corpses of those ghostly soldier ants.

The team had traveled about ten kilometers along the valley between the hills.

During this time, Samira, standing on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros, shot dozens of ghost-patterned soldier ants that roamed among the hills and mountains.

The two-headed ogre was at the front of the group, suddenly stopped, raised his head and shouted to Surdak: "Chief, there is a familiar smell of ant colonies ahead, and I am sure that it is those ghost-patterned male ants." ”

Surdak was riding on the Gubolai horse, and he didn't want to say a word, he was obviously in the cavalry ranks, and it wasn't far from him......

Gullit was still shouting at the top of his voice, as if he would not stop until he deafened his good brother's brain.

"We have the Dark Realm, this time we touch it and start killing ......"
