The day after Surdak recaptured Camp Stonebridge, he led the cavalry battalion to the battlefield in the sandy area by the lake, where in addition to the remains of two giant male ants, there were thousands of demon cores left behind by the ashes.

The ghost red ants were cleanly defeated, and the soldiers left the stone bridge camp and the lake completely, leaving behind a large number of burned soldier ant remains.

In the early morning, the cold north wind raged on the surface of the lake, and the remnants of snow were swept up by the wind and drifted farther away.

Against the north wind, the cavalry used a mace to knock the carbonized soldier ant bones on the battlefield by the lake, some of the bones were burned white, and they became shattered by a light touch, and even some fragments were blown away with the wind, and some of the bones were soaked in tar, and they would become hard and brittle, and if they wanted to crack this kind of skeleton, they would hit it with all their might, and some of the bones were not completely burned, and even maintained the true color of the hard armor, and it would be much easier to chop with a long sword.

These briquette-like cores are inconspicuous in the pile of bones, and it is not easy to find them all.

The cavalry need to first identify the number of bones from the original state of the bones, which is also the approximate number of magic cores, and then they have to clean up and find them little by little.

It wasn't necessary to break all the bones, but the battlefield was huge, and there were a lot of wreckage.

The cavalry were the first to enter the battlefield, and by the time the archers joined, they had already made themselves like coal diggers in the mines, and could only see the colors when they smiled and blinked.

However, everyone was surprised by the number of soldier ants that died, and thousands of ghost-patterned soldier ants burned to ashes on the battlefield just after the red dragon spewed dragon breath a few times.

This kind of dimensionality reduction strike across levels allows everyone to clearly understand the terrifying power of high-level Warcraft.

The income from the demon cores scavenged from these ghost-patterned soldiers alone for Surdak was almost enough to make up for nearly one-fifth of the losses after the defeat in the Battle of Camp Stonebridge.

It's a pity that a lot of hard carapace has been lost.

The remains of the giant male ants were not well preserved, the corpses of the male ants were stained with acid putrefaction, the entire hard armor skin was burned mottled, no magic patterns were preserved, and the flesh and blood in the hard armor were eaten clean by other ghost pattern soldier ants.

From a distance, it looked like the wreckage of two huge magic mechas, and when I walked in, I realized that they actually had no use value at all.

It was probably the soldiers in the army who were frightened by Isser, and when they saw him riding into the battlefield, their expressions were not as relaxed and casual as before, and everyone's eyes were full of awe.

It took the army a whole day to clean up more than half of the battlefield, mainly because the value of the magic core was too high, and the soldiers preferred to be careful and slow rather than miss anything, and the whole battlefield was burned by the fire, and the snow and ice in some places melted as a result, and after the fire was extinguished, it was even more difficult to deal with the bones.

These days, it's getting dark early at Camp Stonebridge.

In the evening, Surdak stood by the lake, looking up at the sky.

The sky was full of gray clouds, and it looked like a heavy snow was about to fall.

Once the remains are buried in the snow, it is even more difficult to get them out.

Watching the soldiers drag their tired bodies back to the camp in the dark, they had been freezing in the wind and snow all day, and their physical strength had been exhausted.

Surdak still thinks that tomorrow morning he will continue to collect these cores.

The snow began to fall in the middle of the night, and the goose feathers of snowflakes fell silently, and soon a thick layer was piled up on the ground.

The soldiers lying in the barracks tents climbed out of their tents, and they didn't have time to clear the snow covering the tents, picked up the mace, and ran towards the lake in the snow.

In the heavy snow, he rushed to smash the wreckage that had not been searched, and when the snow was not too deep, he snatched the demon core out overnight.

By daybreak, the entire Stone Bridge camp was covered in two feet of snow, and the dark battlefield was completely buried in the snow.

Seeing the skull of the last scorched ghost soldier ant being shattered, in the dawn light, the soldiers covered in a thick layer of ice armor let out a burst of cheers, and everyone returned to the camp happily at this time.

In this cold weather, you must eat more high-calorie food to keep out the cold, and the fat of the ghost soldier ant is not rich enough, but it is also a good delicacy to stew with canned luncheon meat brought from the rear.

It snowed heavily all night, almost crushing more than half of the marching tents at Camp Stonebridge.

The soldiers re-pitched their tents in the bitter cold wind and then slept soundly in their sleeping bags......

……

After the lake froze, it was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the most visible on the snow were the pointed footprints of ghost soldier ants.

In order to prevent a large number of ghostly soldiers and ants from crossing the ice lake to attack Stonebridge Camp, Surdak planted a large amount of explosives on the ice lake, which was buried in the ice by the cavalry, and the fuses soaked in beeswax crisscrossed and hid under the snow.

He didn't take advantage of the Red Dragon Isser's heavy damage to the army of ghost-patterned red ants, and crossed the ice lake to attack the Dark Worm Valley at the foot of Shizhu Mountain.

In fact, although the foot of the mountain is full of burrows of ghost-striped red ants, it is only the outermost entrance to the dark worm valley, and in the cold winter, the ghost-striped red ants also have to dive into the deep caves of the worm valley and survive the harsh winter by relying on stored food.

So for several days there was no war.

The coalition of the adventuring group and the mercenary group also set up camp by the lake again, and the magical herbs in this area had been looted by the group almost before the heavy snowfall, and now there was no trace of the ghostly red ants, and many people were looking for materials to use in the wreckage of the battlefield.

Of course, the remains of two giant males are also the focus of their search.

By the time Andrew led the cavalry battalion across the lake again, it was already the fourth day after the heavy snowfall, and this time the cavalry arrived at the entrance of the Dark Worm Valley at the foot of the mountain, which had long since lost the prosperity it had seen three weeks ago, and the snow had even covered a large number of anthill entrances.

The ghost-patterned worker ants seemed to have disappeared without a trace after the heavy snowfall, but the holes in the anthill occasionally appeared with some dark red ghost-patterned soldier ants.

They didn't come out of the anthill as if they were afraid of the cold, and Andrew didn't attack rashly.

Latour led the bed crossbow maintenance team to repair six catapults in a few days, and this time followed the cavalry battalion across the ice lake and stopped on the lake.

As Samira ignited the barrel of oak explosives that threw the basket with her own hands, six barrels of explosives were thrown out in a tumbling process, and finally exploded at the mouth of the anthill.

The catapult bombardment lasted only half a day, and the ghostly soldiers came out of the anthills in all directions again, as Surdak had expected, and they gathered an army around the lake to confront the army on the surface of Surdak.

Probably not seeing the red dragon in the sky, the ghostly soldiers began to charge towards the lake......
