Samira stood on the platform of the armed thunder rhino back, looking up at the birds flying in the sky, and she even hoped that these birds could fly a little lower, so that the sky strike bow in her hand would have a chance to shoot these big birds that were always hovering in the sky.

It is said that the indigenous tribes have a certain connection with these pengnia, at least no one in the indigenous tribes has ever moved to hunt pengyao.

They even thought that these Peng Birds between the rock walls of Tianzhu Mountain were their guardians, when the Imperial Army entered the Bailin Plane, the Indigenous Army and Peng Bird jointly resisted those armies, but unfortunately later because the Indigenous Army was defeated by the Imperial Cavalry on the grassland, this Alliance Army was disbanded.

The indigenous tribes were driven north by the Imperial cavalry from the fertile central grasslands like water dogs, and the indigenous tribes originally planned to build a natural barrier with the Thorn Mountains, but unfortunately the Imperial Cavalry occupied the Thorn Mountains in one fell swoop, driving the indigenous tribes into the Invercargill Warcraft Forest to compete with the Warcraft over there for living space.

After the coalition of the indigenous tribes was dispersed, the Peng Birds also returned to the northern cliffs, but they are the veritable air overlords of the White Forest Plane, and they have always dominated the sky of the White Forest Plane.

The main reason is that these Peng birds will always attack those magic airships, and they can split lightning bolts from their mouths, and this powerful lightning is just a sharp weapon to restrain the floating device, so there has never been a magic airship in the Bailin plane.

Of course, another reason why the airport terminal has not been opened is that the occupied area of the Bailin plane is actually not large.

Every native warrior has a deep respect for these birds, and this idea is slowly influencing the entire army.

The army crossed the poison boor, and 3,000 tribal warriors crossed the chain bridge first, and then Samira led a brigade of archers back to the viscounty of Surdak and settled in the barracks on the southern slope of the gorge.

Andrew's cavalry was to remain at Camp Chain Bridge.

The combined forces of the Adventure Party and the Mercenary Regiment followed Surdak's army back to Invercargill Forest, although some of the Adventure Bands chose to stay at Camp Chain Bridge.

The expedition officially ended on the day Surdak crossed the chain bridge.

……

The first to be disbanded were the indigenous warriors from the various tribes, who returned to the tribes with their own booty.

The native warriors had gained a lot from this campaign, and each of them left the camp with almost all two magic crystals, a suit of imperial armor, a craftsman's heavy sword at his waist, and a tower shield and a Paglio spear on his back.

These armor and weapons will be the foundation of their survival in the Invercargill Forest, and will be the reason for them to continue fighting for the tribe next time.

Surdak's archer brigade and cavalry battalion were much simpler, they only recorded their exploits in the account books, no one was stupid to receive magic crystals at this time, everyone was accumulating merits in exchange for some better magic weapons.

Exchanging merit for magic weapons in the barracks has almost become a trend in the garrison.

Although Surdak lost a large number of bed crossbows and catapults, he had captured more than 30,000 magic cores, and according to previous experience, it was estimated that half of them could produce complete magic crystals, which was just enough to compensate for the losses in the last battle.

The harvested Crystalstone shards can also pay off the warriors' salaries.

In addition, he also harvested the heads of two giant male ants, which are even more valuable for this high-level sacrifice, and the high-level magic core in the skull is also extraordinary.

It was also after Surdak left the Chain Bridge that he learned that the behemoth was called the Ant Overseer by the magicians, during a conversation with the native warriors.

In this northern expedition, the giant ghost pattern soldier ants also hunted nearly 100 of them, probably this is the real purpose of Surdak's trip, he has harvested nearly 300 'strength and toughness' magic patterns this time, and all of them have been packed into his magic pocket.

Surdak planned to continue to expand the cavalry battalion, but among the more than 200 soldiers killed in this battle, more than 40 of them were cavalry, and the cavalry killed in the battle were a group of veterans, which made Surdak a little annoyed.

He also needs to pay a significant pension.

Surdak did not stay long in the camp in the gorge, but the army rested in the camp for three days before continuing to camp towards the copper mines.

……

Surdak rushed to the copper mine, which was still being mined in an orderly manner.

However, due to the cold weather, the labor efficiency was greatly reduced.

Surdak felt that the free market here had become more lively than it had been two months ago, and it had even become a transit point for supplies, and many merchants flocked to the loot and magical materials brought back from the Chainbridge camp.

Many caravans did not dare to venture into the frontline war zone, so they could only wait here, trying to buy some of the supplies that had been brought down from the front, some of which were even sold in the copper mines' trading market, and some of which were shipped back to Wilkes City, so that they could earn the difference.

There are a lot of goods sold here, and the market is very lively, and there are always some adventurous groups rushing to the copper mines to pan for gold.

Merchant Malacombe's Thunder Rhinos are now mainly responsible for transporting tons of copper ingots produced by the mines, and he has transferred five nearby Thunder Rhino caravans to this side, alternating to transport these supplies to Wilkes City.

In the thriving copper mines, some of the adventuring party members also returned to the copper mines.

Some of the indigenous warriors also returned to the copper mines with the army, and they took two magic crystals and began to try to buy some food and supplies in the market.

At this time, they discovered that the two magic crystals could really buy a lot of materials.

The natives need to exchange the magic crystals for some gold coins and then some silver coins before they can go to the free market to buy things.

……

When he returned to Dodan Town, Surdak realized that although it was already winter, there were still some workers on some construction sites in many places, and they were working hot against the north wind, and a lot had happened in Dodan Town these days.

A brand new wooden house has been built along the south bank of the river, and the town's Empire settler area is being renovated, both of which Baron Martino is in charge of.

In addition to these, the foundation of the junior war academy on the dirt slope outside the town has been leveled, and even some pillars and ropes have been used to completely expand the boundaries of the academy, and even the stone paved road between the academy and the town has been built.

On both sides of this stone road, there are already some homesteads that can't wait to appear, and it seems that Mrs. Luna's land is being pre-sold quite well.

At least many people in the town know that the land on both sides of this road may increase in value......
