829. Cavalry battalion on hilly and mountainous terrain

The group followed the horseshoe prints of the cavalry battalion Gubolai war horses and marched towards the depths of the hills and mountains.

In the distance, you can also see sporadic ghost red ants haunting the hills and mountains, and many mercenary groups come to the wild, mainly to hunt these lone ghost red ants.

Since the two veins that Marquis Luthor gave to Surdak were both on the east side of Invercargill Forest, the cavalry battalion rushed out of the northern exit of the Dodan Gorge and chose to break through to the northeast of the hills.

This time, the cavalry battalion sent troops to the hilly and mountainous areas, whether it was Andrew or Samira, they were holding their breath in their hearts.

Last time, I was almost eaten by the ghost pattern soldier ants, and the cavalry battalion was a large army.

Although Surdak retaliated against the ant colony afterwards and successfully killed the ghost pattern ant queen, it still did not completely depress the hearts of several of them.

So this time the cavalry battalion went very deep in the hilly and mountainous terrain, just to chase the ant colony in the hilly and mountainous area.

There are some huge thunder footprints along the way, which are extremely clear for everyone to point in the right direction, and Surdak is not worried about making a mistake, as long as he is on the lookout for ghost-patterned red ants in the distance.

During the trip, Surdak found that most of the red ants in the colony were a little restless due to their inability to make it past the Thorny Mountains.

The Ghost Red Ants also need a leader who can lead them out of the Thorny Mountains.

The ghost ant queens who can survive in the hills and mountains until now will not be reckless to burrow into the Dodan Gorge to die, and if they want to bypass the Thorny Mountains, they can only make a detour to the east and west.

The Dodan Gorge is in the middle of the Thorny Mountains, where ant colonies have begun to decline significantly.

The hillside is littered with traces of battle.

The green vegetation on the hilly terrain has been almost destroyed by the ghostly red ants, revealing patches of red soil that eat almost everything.

Surdak rode his horse, always by Hathaway and Beatrice's side, chatting with them from time to time.

Clouds piled up in the sky like rolling mountains, and from time to time there were some birds hovering back and forth in the sky.

Hathaway and Beatrice rode side by side, the two had not left Pena City for a long time, and they were naturally very yearning for the vast world outside.

Blue sky and white clouds, hills and mountains.

Further north is Invercargill Forest.

The group didn't walk too fast, and occasionally some ghost-patterned worker ants came out, and they didn't have time to get close before they were shot by the archers in the team.

Sharp arrows can easily pierce through the hard carapace of worker ants.

Along the way, I almost never encountered ghost tattooed soldier ants.

Lily. Cecil rode a maroon Guborian horse, her leather armor with a high corset, pushing almost all the excess flesh from her belly to her chest. Breasted.

This type of leather armor, while very delicate, is not very practical.

Lily rode up from behind, first quietly listening to Surdak and Hathaway talking about the indigenous tribes in this area, and patiently waited for Surdak to finish talking about this topic before interjecting and asking Surdak: "Baron Surdak, I want to ...... If you can give the Demonic Pattern Construct as a reward to the cavalry, why don't you wear one yourself? ”

Surdak turned around, smiled politely at Lily, and said, "Lady Cecil, because my body has the carrying capacity, it is not enough to wear a beginner magic pattern structure for the time being. ”

Lily was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you still a knight?" ”

"I'm a knight, but I've had some injuries before, so I can't restore my carrying capacity to the same as before." Surdak explains.

Lily spread her hands and said, "That's a pity, I heard that after the knight wears the magic pattern construct, his strength will change qualitatively. ”

Surdak didn't say anything more, but turned his head to Beatrice and said with a smile: "The first few times I came here, I didn't notice that the scenery here is really beautiful."

Beatrice squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, her face was a little round, so she looked fleshy.

Pointing to a group of mercenaries not far away, he asked Surdak, "Where do those mercenary groups want to go?" ”

At this time, the team had just turned around a hilly mountain, and Surdak found that in front of their group, there were actually several mercenary groups, which were also advancing along the footprints of the Thunder Rhinoceros.

Surdak said: "The mercenary groups who are willing to come here are actually all for hunting ghost pattern soldier ants, as long as they can hunt some soldier ants, they have a great chance to obtain magic crystals, and this kind of hunting activity is sure to make a profit." ”

"There are a lot of mercenary groups, they are actually walking the same road as us......" Beatrice exclaimed, and then pointed to a large ant colony on a hilly slope moving eastward, and said to Surdak a little nervously: "Look, there is an ant colony over there......"

At this time, the cavalry at the front stopped.

A cavalryman rode quickly to Surdak and reported to Surdak that the road ahead was blocked by an ant colony.

Surdak groaned slightly, and then commanded:

"Then let's get out of the way, and until we join up with the cavalry battalion, we try to avoid encountering the ant colony for the time being......"

The procession lasted until noon, and after avoiding four ant colonies, they finally arrived at the hunting ground of the cavalry battalion.

As far as the eye can see, there are a total of 500 cavalry in the cavalry battalion running around the ant colony, they are like fierce sharks around the fish colony, and they are about to kill a few ghost soldiers in the outer circle of the ant colony.

Looking south along the slope on the north side of the hill, there are some ghost-patterned worker ants everywhere along the way, and the worker ants in the colony seem to have been almost killed by the cavalry, leaving only some soldier ants forced by the cavalry battalion to retreat frequently.

They have lost the courage to take the initiative to attack.

In fact, these ghost-patterned soldiers are not afraid of death, mainly because the ghost-patterned ant queen who controls the ant colony is worried that once the soldier ants are mobilized to confront the cavalry head-on, Andrew and Gullitham will lead the elite cavalry to raid the ghost-patterned male ant's personal guard group.

And there are two thunder rhinos with ten bed crossbows on their backs to deter from a distance, and this ghostly ant queen has always gathered the ant colony densely.

In this way, the ghost queen ant queen will not be threatened for the time being, and the ant colony will move towards the Invercargill forest in the north little by little, but the soldier ants at the edge of the ant colony will be killed by the cavalry again and again.

The carcasses of these soldier ants are often gathered in a heap and marked, and then thrown on the side of the road, waiting for the Thunder Rhino Caravan to return and transport the hard armor of these soldier ants along the way back to Dodan Town.

……

Standing on the platform of the Thunder Rhino, Samira was the first to see Surdak and his party coming from a distance, and waved at them.

The Great Swordsman of Chester was fighting in large numbers with the cavalry battalion, and it didn't look anything special except for the fact that there were many mercenary groups around the battlefield.

But these are just staring at the ant colony. They didn't go into battle, they just waited quietly for the ghost soldiers to break away from the colony, and then they would surround them and hunt them.

The Chester swordsman also found that although the number of cavalry in the cavalry battalion was limited, these cavalry, led by two generals, attacked the ant colony again and again, and almost every time they burst out with the greatest impact.

These cavalrymen cooperate very well, and the knight's spear in their hands almost never pierces the air, even if the stab is not fatal, they will not fight around the ant colony.

And if you can't pull out the knight's spear, you will decisively give it up.

On the other hand, those ghost-patterned soldiers and ants, in the face of the cavalry's charge, only had time to spew out some acid.

The cavalrymen were dressed in heavy armor, and their horses were tightly wrapped in armor......

In the dust, the cavalry leaped over.

Many soldier ants were crippled in this way, and they had no choice but to fall behind the ant colony, and then they were surrounded and killed by cavalry.

The most eye-catching existence in the team, in addition to the two thunder rhinoceros like small mountains, is also the two-headed ogre brother with a bone-crushing stick in his hand, the blue ice armor hangs on the outside of the chain mail, chasing after the ant colony, and the bone-crushing stick in his hand ignores the hard armor skin of the ghost-patterned soldier ants, and a huge depression will appear when it is knocked on it.

Once the ghost-patterned soldier ant turned his head to fight against the two-headed ogre, the ogre did not resist, and immediately turned around and ran back.

Once these soldiers chase them out, they will be immediately killed by the cavalry.

When these ghost-patterned soldiers returned to the colony, he chased after them and stuck to the tail of the colony, but the big stick was very lethal, so pulling back and forth, the ghost-patterned soldier ants fell on the battlefield unconsciously.

The Great Swordsman of Chester could see at a glance that this was completely a crushing of the level of strength.

Behind him, the armed Thunder Rhinoceros was slowly advancing, Samira and Lance stood on the backs of the two Thunder Rhinoceros respectively, and once the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants in the ant colony rushed out, they were immediately shot mercilessly.

Occasionally, some fireballs will fly out and blast the dense colony through it.

First noticing Andrew, this indigenous warrior had successfully advanced to a second-turn powerhouse in the town of Plantos, and the Chester Great Swordsman was very impressed with him.

Then he saw Samira, the archer standing on the back of the Thunder Rhino, judging by the years of experience of the Chester Great Swordsman, this archer could actually add wind power to the arrows he shot, and he had obviously broken through the second turn.

At this time, the Great Swordsman of Chester discovered that there were two second-turn powerhouses and a two-headed ogre in Surdak's cavalry battalion, which was a bit scary.

What's even more outrageous is that there is also a mage squad mixed in the cavalry battalion.

I thought it was privately funded by the Marquis of Luthor.

I thought to myself: The Marquis of Luthor really loves this Baron Surdak, and in addition to marrying his beloved daughter, he also helps him extra...... Even if it's his own son, it's not an exaggeration.

……

Surdak joined the cavalry battalion with the troops.

Chester found one thing, Hathaway was not familiar with these two second-turn powerhouses at all, and the two second-turn powerhouses and the two-headed ogre obviously had no respect for Hathaway.

These three powerhouses and those magicians from the city of Highlandsa can still talk together.

The Archswordsman of Chester guessed that they had all come with Surdak from the city of Highlandsa.

And just half a month ago, Surdak had not yet advanced.

In such a short period of time, the barrier has been broken through continuously, and some people have become second-turn powerhouses in a row.

In addition to individual strength, there is also a high-intensity battle.

Watching Surdak lead Hathaway and Beatrice to climb onto the back of the Thunder Rhino, the Great Swordsman of Chester had some new understanding of Surdak's abilities at this time.

Seeing that the Chester Swordsman was staring at Andrew and Gullitham, Surdak hung on the soft ladder beside the Thunder Rhinoceros, turned his head and introduced to the Chester Swordsman, "They were all brought back from Warzmara City...... Not only did we defeat the Hellhounds in that war, but I also brought back some helpers and fighting partners from the city of Warzhmara. ”

"You're really right...... Marquis Luthor has a thousand first-turn swordsmen, and in the end, there are less than ten swordsmen who can be promoted to second-turn. The Great Swordsman of Chester said with a smile to Surdak.

Samira stood on the platform and poked her head out to look down.

Andrew also returned with those tireless cavalry, surrounding the Thunder Rhinoceros.

Of course, they weren't here to watch Surdak, they were curious about Miss Hathaway of the Luther family and Miss Beatrice of the Gophilo family.

Surrounded by nearly five hundred cavalry, and some mercenaries from the mercenary group around him also looked at this side, Beatrice stepped on the soft ladder, inevitably a little nervous, and his leather boots accidentally stepped on the air, and his body slid down sharply.

Although she was holding the rope with both hands, at this moment, her brain was also blank with fright, and she completely lost the lightness and balance of a female swordsman.

Surdak was just below Beatrice, and took the opportunity to hold the foot she stepped on and let her climb steadily.

He turned to Chester's great swordsman and said, "Andrew's awakening of 'Momentum' happened to be at the time of the siege of Warjmara, and I found out that he had awakened the 'Spirit of Berserker'. ”

He pointed to the half-elven archer above his head and introduced, "Samira also met during the siege, when she had already inspired the elven bloodline. ”

"This is Gulitham...... and his good brother Brainflower, he is a gourmand who loves to explore the world's cuisine and reason with people......"

The ogre was naturally very happy to hear Surdak introduce him like this.

"The three of them all have some potential, this time they came to the Bailin Plane to encounter the beast tide, and the most important thing here is the fresh meat and battle of the demonic beasts, so they have the opportunity to hit the bottleneck of the second turn."

As he spoke, the young magician Lance and his friends also rode the magic handlebars, flew off the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros and landed beside Surdak.

"Lance, you're here just in time, let me introduce you, this is the Chester Great Swordsman, the supreme commander of the Luther Legion in the White Forest Plane." Surdak hurriedly introduced the Chester Great Swordsman to Lance.

“…… This is my good friend Lance, a magician from the city of Highlandsa, who came to Dodan to help me. ”

Surdak then introduced Lance's friends to the Chester Swordsman.

When the Great Swordsman of Chester saw Lance and these magicians, he realized that Surdak also had his own connections in the city of Highlandza, and he hunted these ghost-patterned red ants in the hills and mountains, and he completely relied on his own strength.

Now my opinion of him has changed a lot.
