1067. Snow Ridge
Long leather boots creaked against the snow, and a heavy snowfall had bent large and dense pine branches.
Walking out of the makeshift command post converted from a cave and breathing in the cold air outside, people's minds instantly became clear.
Not far away, in the woodland, the heavily armored warriors learned from the cavalry to enclose their tents under pine trees to build shelters from the cold, and the mountains were full of red pine forests, which were full of oil and smelled of resin.
Surdak stooped into the tent.
There was a splash of water tumbling in the big iron pot, and a large stick bone was drawn from it.
The ogre took the last bit of grease on one of the bones, threw them outside the tent, and before Surdak sat down, he fished the last bone out of the boiling pot, and he was not afraid of the heat, and opened his mouth to swallow the flesh and bones into his stomach.
The Great Swordsman of Quintas lay pale on a thick wooden bed made of pine branches.
His injuries were somewhat severe, mainly due to the fact that the wound was eroded by the Demon King's black demon qi and could not heal, although the Great Swordsman of Quintas was strong and forcibly wrapped his life with high-quality healing potions, but he was only a swordsman and could not expel the demonic energy that penetrated into his body, which caused the injury to worsen.
Fortunately, Surdak arrived at the camp here two days early, and the Holy Light Technique fell, which immediately dispelled the demonic energy in the body of the Great Swordsman of Kuntas, and Surdak blessed the Great Swordsman of Quintas with the 'Blessed Body', and the wound on the right rib began to show signs of healing.
Surdak checked the Archswordsman of Quintas's wound healing, and it looked pretty good.
"You should have informed me sooner." Surdak sat beside the Archswordsman of Quintas.
"Hey, I thought there was something wrong with this little injury! I didn't expect to almost have a rotten stomach...... Ahem! ”
The Grand Swordsman of Quintas coughed a few times, and one of the auxiliaries hurriedly brought over a glass of water.
"We have been investigating recently, how many demon armies are in this valley, and now they actually let the aborigines sign a symbiotic contract with the hellhounds, it seems that the demon servants will not be less than 10,000, they don't want to rush out, it seems that they want to continue to garrison." The Great Swordsman of Quintas said to Surdak lying down.
Surdak then asked the doubts that he did not hold back and did not mention at the command post:
"What do so many people eat? The tribes of the indigenous people should not store food like that. ”
Although the Great Swordsman of Quintas was wounded, with his strong physique, his speech was not very affected, and he said casually:
"Cryptmen, now the Cryptmen are their rations, and only the Crypt Warriors are qualified to survive."
The Archswordsman of Quintas reached out and patted Surdak's arm, and then solemnly admonished him:
"This demon army has a strong combat power, and I know that the coalition army has won a brilliant victory on the Sayroman Plateau, but remember not to bring the mood of victory to this battlefield."
Since this matter is worthy of the advice of the Great Swordsman of Quintas, Surdak knew that these demon armies on the other side must be very powerful, and hurriedly agreed:
"Don't worry, Grand Swordsman of Quintas, I'll warn them."
……
Arriving in the Great Snow Mountain, it was a nightmare place for Thea, covered with snow and freezing the hydrating mask on her face into a thin ice mask almost immediately, but fortunately Surdak helped her carry the wooden box over so that she could take a hot shower in the tent every day.
She wore a thick fur coat with warm cotton and a thick sweater, which made her look a little bloated.
Samira lit a bonfire and placed a cauldron full of snow on it, and Thea poured water into the cauldron to melt the snow from the cauldron.
When the temperature in the tent rose, Thea took off her thick fur coat, and she was very concerned about her figure.
Hot water was boiling in the tent, and buckets were poured into wooden boxes.
She needed to take a hot shower so that her somewhat frozen body could fully recover.
Soak comfortably in a chest full of hot water and invite the half-elf archers to take a bath with her, but Samira decisively refuses her.
She stretched to return herself to her mermaid form, and the huge tail fin like a fan protruded from the tank and stretched out in the tent in a very bright color.
When she lived in the town of Dodan on the White Forest Plane, Thea also experienced the winter there.
But she didn't feel how hard the living conditions were there, and now that she thought about it, it was Signa and Nika who took good care of her, and they had prepared a heated bathtub when hoarfrost first appeared by the river.
Looks like when I go back, I should thank some Signa and Nika, right! They should have brought them some gifts.
To be honest, Thea misses them a little.
The tent curtain was lifted, and Surdak walked in from the outside.
Thea hurriedly hid the three-colored tail fin in the wooden box, turned over flexibly in the water tank, put her snow-white arms on the edge of the wooden box, and greeted Surdak, if it weren't for her chest being a little flat, she wouldn't mind holding her upper body a little higher.
Surdak walked into the tent and brought in a cold wind that sent Thea shivering.
Surdak patted the Seawater. With a tender face, he said to her gently: "Thea, keep an eye on the fire at night, don't let the tent burn, and pay attention to heating the water inside, I don't want to turn into an ice lump in the wooden box when I come to see you tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, I don't stay in the water all the time." Thea tried to put her arms around Surdak's neck, but Surdak didn't want her wet arm to freeze on his armor piece and quickly stepped back.
Seeing that Surdak didn't take off his armor, he asked, "Are you going out at night?" ”
"If you have action at night, stay here." Surdak nodded and admonished.
"I can't go?" Thea blurted out and asked, seeing Surdak staring at her eyes, she didn't mean to answer at all, and then retracted her head and whispered, "Okay, got it, then you should be careful......
Samira picked up the Sky Strike Bow hanging from the trunk of the tree, looked at Thea who sank into the tank with some amusement, and followed Surdak out.
Thea soaked in the warm water tank, what a trouble!
The best friend he finally met was actually his daughter, and then he naturally ignored his age and was treated as a child.
For the first time, she was worried about her youth......
……
When Surdak arrived with Samira, the Chester Archswordsman with five hundred swordsmen in white cloaks was already waiting outside the camp, along with ten second-turn archmages.
Because of Viru's relationship, Samira also became an Hawkeye after the second turn, instead of a Silver Moon Ranger.
For this operation, Surdak sacrificed a three-headed head of hellish evil and blessed Samira with 'insight'.
Each of these constructed swordsmen has been blessed with the 'Blessed Body', but unfortunately they don't use shields, otherwise the 'Blessed Shield' will also be arranged.
Samira had obtained general information about the mountains through the magician's memory crystals, and she stood on the top of the tree, blessed with 'insight', and the snowy night was almost indistinguishable from the day.
She kept jumping forward, and soon was walking through the snowy ridge with the Constructed Swordsmen.
According to the plan laid out during the day, Samira climbed over a wall of snow with ease, she hid in the shadows, groped behind a demonic servant, reached out and covered his mouth with one hand, and as he struggled violently, the dagger in his hand slashed through his throat, and the entire head was almost cut off.
The demon servant's body struggled weakly twice before falling limply.
As soon as the sentry post behind the earthen wall fell, the five hundred swordsmen lurking on the snowy slope thought about rushing towards the outpost.
This outpost is a circular building surrounded by earthen walls like a turret, and the inside is lined with large bunks against the wall, and a bonfire is lit in the middle, and nearly a hundred demon servants lie on the beds and sleep soundly, with three floors above and below the beds.
The constructed swordsmen burrowed into the outpost and cut off the heads of these demonic minions in their sleep.
The demonic servants are dead, and those hellhounds can't live, and the news of the sneak attack on the sentry post on the snow ridge here can't be concealed at all.
At the urging of the Great Swordsman of Chester, the swordsmen had no choice but to hang the corpses of the demon minions on the female wall of the sentry post and set fire to the sentry post before retreating from the snow ridge.
Standing on the top of the red pine trees, Samira saw a herd of hellhounds rushing down the hillside on the north side, numbering at least thousands, but by the time they reached the sentry post, the swordsmen had already withdrawn from the snow ridge.
Hellhounds did not dare to go out of the mountains at all, and a group of hellhounds could only surround the blazing sentry post and bark wildly in the snowy night.
The Constructed Swordsmen quickly evacuated the valley before dawn, and Surdak knew that this sneak attack organized by the Constructed Swordsmen was a retaliatory action because the Archswordsman of Quintas was injured.
However, this retaliation also completely awakened the demon army hiding in the valley, and groups of hellhounds occasionally ran out of the valley to sneak up on the coalition camp.
The situation in the valley is getting worse day by day, and the sneak attack on the three demon gates in the valley on the command side is also on the agenda......
