1032. Northern Expedition

The word 'dilapidated' alone may not be able to describe the city of Mukuso in front of you.

It was more like the ruins of four complete walls, and although some of the buildings were still intact, the whole city was suddenly devoid of inhabitants, and the silence of the streets made it seem like a forgotten corner.

Scattered Cryptmen and Hellhounds can still be seen outside the city, but their armies have withdrawn further north.

Pursued by a group of light cavalry, the Cerberus Legion crossed the northern pass of Mukusuo, and if you look at the regional territory of the Ganbu plane, the demon army can be regarded as leaving Mukusuo.

The demon army not only destroyed the entire northern part of the Ganbu plane, but also destroyed the central city of the Ganbu plane, Mukusuo, although it is still in the hands of humans.

Surdak felt so tired that he could barely straighten up, and stepped out of the marching tent and stood on the steps at the gate of the town hall.

A group of cavalrymen who came out of the town hall stopped and saluted when they saw Surdak resting against the swordsman statue, and then they walked away quickly, and even their voices became much quieter.

In fact, Surdak is very annoyed by these etiquettes in the army, subordinates must salute when they see their superiors, and Surdak must also return the salute when he is the same, otherwise he will be regarded by the soldiers as an arrogant and rude commander.

But he was too lazy to lift his heavy arms right now, he just wanted to find a quiet place to rest for a while.

Across the street, in the square garden, a huge figure was sitting on the ground with his back to the town hall, and there was a bonfire in front of him, which seemed to come from the doors and windows of a house, and on which a large piece of roasted meat leaned against it, and the smell was ......

Well, lately there has been a smell of barbecue everywhere in the city, and Surdak feels a little sick to his stomach.

Originally, he wanted to walk over and have a casual conversation with the two-headed ogre Gullitham, but now he changed his mind.

A white hand stretched out from his side, holding a red apple in his palm.

Surdak turned around and found Samira standing in the 'Snake Fang' patterned outfit, her leather armor slightly open, her fair skin peeking out from the neckline, a little dazzlingly white.

I remember seeing Samira in the city of Vozhmara, dressed in shabby leather armor, with a bandage on her right arm, her skin was a very healthy wheat, and the lines of her arms were clearly muscular.

But now she is like a white butterfly that emerges from a cocoon, and after two metamorphoses, even her skin has become white and has an ivory sheen.

Those pale red eyes, the pupils in the center were more pure, and the water chestnut-like lips had a hint of rebellion.

Surdak took the apple and took a big bite, the sweet and sour juice filling his taste buds at once.

Like a swift leopard, Samira scurried to the statue's square stone platform, holding on to the statue's thick stone legs and looking northeast.

"Will they ever come back?" Samira asked quietly.

She's talking about the demons of hell.

"I don't know, but we'll hit them until we've got them out of the dry cloth." Surdak stretched out his arm.

A hellhound came out of the alley not far away, and caught up with several warriors of the adventuring group, who looked a little angry, but they couldn't outrun the hellhound.

Samira stood on the stone platform, drew her bow to the full, and two steel arrows flew out.

The hellhound clearly saw the two feathered arrows, but the moment it saw it, it had already jumped forward, and its body was in mid-air, as if it had actively hit the arrows.

A feathered arrow pierced the eye socket of the hellhound, and an arrow pierced its abdomen, pinning it firmly into the street.

The warriors of the adventuring group rushed up breathlessly, and the four of them lifted the body of the hellhound and pointed to Samira's side.

Samira waved her hand and motioned for them to carry them away.

One of the adventuring group warriors pulled out the two arrows, wiped off the sticky purple blood on them with a rag, and sent them over himself.

"Don't you really want to get a piece of that hellhound? After all, it was your arrows that killed ......," the Adventure Trooper warrior asked Samira.

Samira took the arrow and waved her hand.

"Thank you for your help......"

The warriors of the adventuring group thanked Samira before turning to leave.

Now in this city, in addition to the Bena coalition army, there are only some adventure groups and mercenary groups left, they hunt cavemen and hellhounds in the city all day long, the cavemen themselves are not valuable, but they are very easy to hunt, occasionally meet the crypt warriors, in order to make a small profit, only these hellhounds are worth a little money, just want to capture the hellhounds, in addition to using some brains, you also need a little tricks.

Samira looked at the adventuring group carrying the corpse of the hellhound and happily departed down the deserted long street, and asked:

"Once the army leaves, what will happen to Mukuso's side?"

Surdak had already eaten all the apples, threw the pits at the bottom of the steps, and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands before he said:

"You don't want anything in Mukuso City, you just need to guard the portal here! This is not too difficult, and the news that Hellhounds can be hunted in Mukuso City has probably already spread to Bena City, and it won't be long before this place will be filled with adventure groups and mercenary groups, after all, compared to other low-level magical beasts, Hellhounds are easier to hunt. ”

Samira was a little stunned, and then asked:

"No wonder you're moving all the inhabitants of the city to Ruyt, when are we leaving?"

Surdak said calmly: "I'm waiting for the logistics from Ruit City. ”

Hearing Surdak talk about supplies, there are now nearly 50,000 Bena coalition troops stationed in the city of Mukuso, plus 25,000 heavy infantry legions of Surdak and the city defense of Mukuso. Nearly 90,000 troops are currently stationed in the city, and the daily military expenditure is an astronomical amount.

But now the whole city is shattered, and all the heads of hellhounds have been taken out to feed the wounded soldiers.

Samira then said:

"We don't seem to make much money in this battle, so many people have died, and only such a large piece of ruins have been brought back, if you go north, you have to convince the commanders of those lord legions in the coalition army, at least let them see some sweetness......

"In the north, we have large areas of borderland......

"Only the land of the north?" Samira asked.

Surdak said as a matter of course: "Of course, except for the southeastern corner of the land in the south, one-third of the land belongs to me, and the remaining two-thirds belong to the Grimm Empire, and half belong to the Bena Province. ”

Seeing Surdak's somewhat smug look, Samira said with some disdain:

"The land here is not valuable...... No minerals, no potions, no monsters, who wants to come here! ”

Surdak said with a firm face: "Believe me, as long as it is land, it will be more and more valuable!" ”

……

The dark clouds in the sky had receded to the north, and in the fields outside the city, some low-level demons could occasionally be seen fleeing towards the bereaved in disgrace.

The hunters were still only willing to hunt the cavemen who had taken refuge in the sewers in this part of the city every day, and as more and more adventuring parties entered Mukuso through portals, some teams were finally willing to pick up trash outside the city.

In the ruins of the slums outside the city, not only are there some crypt men and hellhounds, but occasionally a few silver coins can be unearthed from the ruins.

Surdak stationed two regiments of hoplite infantry in the plaza outside the portal.

Sure enough, just as Surdak had predicted, the commanders of the legions of the Bena coalition were not opposed to the northern expedition, and they even wanted to conquer the towns in the north that were occupied by the demons of hell in the north.

Perhaps it was the battle outside Mucuso that gave them full confidence, and the day after the logistics brought from Bena Province arrived in Mukuso, the Bena coalition army could not wait to embark on the northern expedition.

The light cavalry explored the road in front, followed by the heavy cavalry regiment, and at the rear were the heavy infantry regiment and the archery regiment, the baggage regiment of the logistics department.

Along the way, a variety of aristocratic insignia and flags are displayed in the wind......

Surdak discovered one thing in this dimensional war, the noble lords of Bena Province actually did not have an army in their hands, they just didn't want to lose the battle, every defeat meant the loss of a lot of money, and some declining families could not afford to lose.

So this also caused the Duke of Newman to struggle on the Warsaw plane, after all, on the Warsaw plane, except for the Bernard legion, the other lord armies had no intention of fighting, and they were thinking about when they would be able to leave this hellish place.

In contrast, although the Ganbu plane is not rich, but what it has to face here is only the desperate MacDonnell family, although there are demons on the plane, but they are also low-level demons, and these demons can be said to have no combat power in front of the cavalry.

Surdak was much more cautious about this expedition.

At least the First Legion of the MacDonnell Lord's Army returned from a crushing defeat in the north, and although Surdak didn't know what happened to them, he still recognized the combat effectiveness of the MacDonnell Lord's Army.

Perhaps it was the morale of the battle north of Mukuso that the coalition forces pushed almost all the way north.

On the first day of the expedition, the light cavalry set up camp at the westernmost foot of the Ganmonapia Mountains, two hundred miles from the city of Mucuso, less than twenty kilometers west of the town of Avaru, the nearest and largest town north of Mucuso, with a population of 150,000.

Originally, there was a golden sand mine along the river, but the land here belonged to the MacDonnell family, and the gold diggers here had to sign lease agreements with the Macdonnell family, but after the golden sands in the Jinsha River were wiped out, the town gradually declined.

According to the information passed by the mage regiment, the legions of hell have completely taken over the town.

Moreover, the vanguard of the Bena coalition army arrived at Ganmonapia Mountain, and the low-level demons in the town there showed no signs of evacuating.
