In just a few days, adventurous groups have sprung up on the Sayroman Plateau.

Along the way, three more caravans joined the caravan behind the heavy infantry legion, although the number of caravans following the legion increased to six, but at present, the only caravans that belong to the army are the Pame's Bay merchant group and the Rye Catcher merchant group.

However, Surdak was not averse to the soldiers privately selling some loot, such as the claws and teeth of Cerberus.

As for the Hellhound's head being a forbidden item, it has become a common practice in the military that whoever is in the barracks must hand over the Cerberus head.

Along with the merit exchange list, there are abundant rewards on the list.

The soldiers in the heavy infantry regiment began to become proactive, although the exchange merit of the magic pattern in the first row of the exchange list was simply an astronomical amount for the vast majority of heavy infantry soldiers, but there were still many soldiers with dreams and working hard for it.

There is even a whisper among the Legion that they don't want the war on the Dry Cloth Plane to end too soon, lest everyone be unable to redeem the Magical Pattern Fabric.

In fact, after several battles with Lord MacDonnell's legions, Surdak pieced together not only one hundred and twenty-three complete demonic pattern constructs, but also more than fifty pieces from the loot he had captured.

Surdak intends to hang these pieces on the merit exchange list one after another, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the hoplite regiment when fighting.

As the army continued to advance eastward, encountering more and more low-level demons along the way, Surdak had to send additional scout teams to clean up small groups of low-level demons around the legion.

The plateau is flat, but there are no trees, but overgrown with weeds, these low-level demons are lurking in the grass, and it is a desolate scene as far as the eye can see.

As the adventuring group continued to appear around the army, they would hunt in the wilderness during the day, return to the caravan's camp at night, drill triangular tents when there was a harvest, and go to the caravan's mobile tavern to drink a small glass when the harvest was low, and the life of these adventure party members was free and easy, which made the soldiers of the hoplite regiment very envious.

……

In the past few days, the scouts have gradually discovered that if they follow the established route, the team's harvest is getting less and less day by day, and sometimes they can see the battlefield they have just fought in front, and the purple blood has not coagulated.

The Legion's infantry scout team doesn't understand who always cuts off the prey that should be their own, so they find the legion's military mages and ask them to help investigate.

The mages fought a beautiful battle of annihilation in the North Canyon of Mount Myra, which was recognized by the legionnaires, and the two sides have been getting along much better lately.

Seeing the request from the scout team of the infantry troupe, the mages rode the magic handle and did a reconnaissance in advance according to the trajectory of the scout team the next day, only to discover the secret hidden inside.

In fact, the matter was related to the adventure groups, one of which seemed to have figured out the course of action of the infantry scout squad.

They will run ahead of the scout team first to hunt the low-level demons.

In this way, it doesn't matter if you encounter danger, because there is a scout team behind you who is about to arrive, as long as you hold on for a while, you can get out of danger, and if you don't encounter danger, then after hunting low-level demons like hellhounds, you will quickly run to the front......

The party is very doggy, but it's very safe.

The mages who scouted in the air were amazed...... In the world, there are really all kinds of shameless people.

When the scout team heard the answer given by the mages, they immediately gathered a group of friends in the squadron after the patrol mission, and wanted to beat these adventurers hard, but they were rushed to Ned after hearing the news. Commander Mosby stopped it in time.

Just kidding, beat these adventure groups away, who else wants to run to the plateau to clean up these demon garbage in the future.

However, these adventurous groups can't just be allowed to come around, after all, this kind of thing will still damage the face of the heavy infantry regiment.

Ned. Captain Mosby's solution is actually very simple, which is to ask the mages for help.

During the legion's march, the main task of the mages is to ride the magic handle to the field to investigate the situation, they are mainly to detect whether there are a large group of low-level demons around, if a large number of low-level demons are found, Surdak will send an army to clean up in time.

Now, Ned. Captain Mosby asked the mages to assist the scout team, guide the scout team in the sky, and by changing the course temporarily, they could get rid of the adventurers.

When the adventuring group found out several times in a row that the scout team had thrown them away from a distance, and the mages were still flying through the air on magic handles, they knew that their small actions had already fallen into the eyes of others, and they were worried about the subsequent retaliation of the scout team, so they honestly followed the merchant group for two days.

After discovering that no one was pursuing the incident, the adventuring party finally decided not to mix like this anymore.

……

The town of Samp is located in the central region of the Sayroman plateau, right next to Lake Bellanorma, which is part of the hinterland of the plateau.

The melting snow from the Great Snow Mountains in the north converges to form the Norma River, the only major river on the Sayroman Plateau, which divides almost all of the two halves of the Sayroman Plateau into the Eastern Plateau and the Western Plateau.

The reason why Sampu Town can become the central town of the plateau is because there is a pearl of the plateau, Lake Belanoma.

Lake Bellanorma is the second largest lake in the Dry Cloth Plane, and the town of Samp is located at the outlet of the southern channel of the lake, and the town of Samp is on the west bank of the Great Dam of Lake Bellanomah.

The dam is also a bridge connecting the eastern and western plateaus of Sayroman.

Because it is a transportation hub connecting the eastern and western plateaus, this town is the most prosperous central town among the fifteen small towns, and many nobles have settled here, so this town is far more prosperous than other highland towns.

This is also the first town that Surdak is responsible for the main attack, as for why the commanders of the legions gave this place to Surdak, in addition to Surdak being the supreme commander of the legion, he is also the person chosen by the Marquis of Luthor.

He also has a red dragon friend......

This doesn't mean he's going to be a dragon knight in the future, but at least he has a good chance of becoming one.

Finally, there is a crucial reason that the town of Samp has a wall, just like the town of Hatangada, the town of Takkale, and the town of Banske, the town of Sampu also has a wall, and when this wall was built, it even included half of Lake Belanoma, and at the same time it was integrated with the big dam.

When the legion arrived at the border of Samp Town, Surdak found that the low-level demons here had become very dense.

Even some of the adventuring groups that arrived here first did not dare to enter the suburbs of Samp Town easily.

It is said that there have been three adventuring groups that wanted to sneak into Samp Town in advance to pick up garbage, but they were discovered by low-level demons and chased all the way.

When they fled back to the caravan, many of the three groups had died.

The grass was littered with whitish feces and broken bones, all of which were left behind by the hellhounds.

Due to the huge number of Cerberus legions, they will eat all the living people and animals in the area as rations wherever they conquer, and because there is always not enough food, their bite force is very amazing, and they will basically bite bones and swallow them into their stomachs when they eat.

Therefore, it is rare to see complete bones in the barren grass, and piles of dung are washed away by the rain, and finally only a gray bone residue remains.

The low-level demons here seem to have mastered many techniques of fighting humans, often lurking in the barren grass, ambushing infantry regiments, scout squads, and adventure groups.

When the infantry legion had just arrived at the border of Samp Town, the mage regiment had already brought the detected images of Samp Town and Lake Belanoma back to the camp through engrams.

There are two city gates in Samp Town, namely the West Gate and the East Gate, if you want to enter Samp Town from the Western Plateau, you can only pass through the West Gate, the city gate is not closed, and the broken gate can still see dry blood stains, collapsed in the city gate hole.

Scattered around the walls were a number of torn armor and broken weapons.

Nearly a thousand Flame Gog were stationed on the walls, and thousands of demonic minions were stationed on the walls, and the city was inhabited by a large number of Hellhounds and Cryptmen.

Surdak thought that the Hell Demon would be heavily guarded in Samp Town, but he didn't expect that there would be so many flame Gogs, each of which was a mage who would release small fireballs, and once these Gogs gathered in groups, the threat to the siege warriors was still very huge.

Moreover, those demon minions also wore some blood-stained armor, which looked like they should have been ripped off the defenders of Samp Town, and they were also equipped with some weapons in their hands, and there were piles of black oil-like things on the city.

Surdak had seen Demon Minions use the balls of black oil in other towns, and they would light them before throwing them, but due to their arm strength, the fireballs would not be thrown far.

If it were on the battlefield outside the city, these black oil balls might not be a threat in the hands of demonic minions, and a single rain of arrows could knock them down.

But now they are standing on the wall more than five meters high, and they can throw these black oil balls from the city downward, these slimy black oil balls are difficult to shake off once they are on their bodies, and the continuous burning flames are more threatening to the siege soldiers than the fireball technique.

With Surdak's current strength, it seems that it will not be so easy to capture the town of Samp now.

Surdak asked Harper, who was holding a magical engram, "Harper, have you contacted the Archswordsman of Quintas and the Archswordsman of Chester from your mage group?" ”

Archmage Harper raised his head, the reddish fire element in his eyes slowly disappeared, and said casually:

"Our people are on the other side of the Great Snow Mountain, tracking down the marks they left a few days ago."

Surdak nodded......
