Bart walked up to Surdak and said with a smile:

"I'm usually only in charge of some trivial things on the fortress side, and Deans and Musta can do these things well, but I'm more looking forward to going to the neutral area south of the defense zone than doing chores in the fortress."

The three of them gathered in front of the counter of the logistics team, and the old Heyman poured a cup of black tea for Bart, and the three of them surrounded the counter and peeled nuts with daggers.

"I've heard that the battle loss rate of the patrol team that enters there has always been around 50 percent......

Surdak said to Bart.

"Is this the information that Old Heyman gave you for free?" Bart asked Surdak.

Surdak nodded.

"This is old Heyman's nonsense, his only purpose in doing this is to make you more careful!" Bart said with a smile.

"You kid, you're going to tear people down everywhere!" Old laughed and scolded Bart.

Bart just smiled and asked Surdak again, "Did old Heyman ask you to help him bring something back from the neutral zone this time?" ”

Surdak looked stunned and asked, "Could it be that these are all past practices?" ”

"A few times ago, a patrol team wanted to go to the south to have a look, and Old Heyman also made various requests, which is indeed the practice of the logistics team!"

Bart threw one into his mouth, the bitterness of the mouth made him frown, and although the aftertaste was sweet, he still didn't want to eat it again.

"Is there any intelligence on the neutral zone?" Surdak asked Old Heyman.

Old Heyman pulled out an old hand-drawn map from the cabinet and pushed it to Surdak.

"There is a fairly reliable map, and as for what is the threat to the neutral zone, I hope you do not rely on what is written in these reports, because what is not written on them is the real danger to you, and the more detailed the report, the more dependent it will be for you...... So I won't give it to you. ”

"The first time you go to a neutral area, everything has to be explored, you are both hunters and prey, so you must pay attention to safety."

Old admonished Surdak.

The three of them chatted in the logistics group for a while, and when it was time to leave, Surdak said to Bart:

"Oh, we're leaving tomorrow morning, so before we do that, bring as many supplies as we can for the battle."

Bart immediately said, "Got it." ”

Surdak drank the black tea from his cup, jumped down from the high chair, and when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said:

"Bart ......"

Bart put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look at Surdak, "Huh? ”

Surdak with one hand in his chest. I drew a circle in front of him and said casually: "Just a few of us, there is no need to add more manpower, this time we are not going to the neutral zone to alleviate poverty......

After speaking, he pushed open the door and left the logistics team.

"Got it."

Bart exhaled, then looked at Old Heyman, and the two began to discuss what to bring out of the logistics group.

Hearing that Surdak's patrol team was preparing to go to the neutral zone to investigate, the constructed knights and swordsmen in the Blue Bridge Fortress were talking about it over dinner.

From time to time, everyone also cast glances at the Surdak team's dining area.

It was also at this time that Bart officially dined with Surdak and his party.

Dean and Musta sat down on the side of Barth's team, eating silently with their heads down.

After eating, when Surdak walked out of the restaurant, some patrol team leaders would take the initiative to say when they saw Surdak:

"Hey, Captain Dark, I heard you're going out on patrol tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

"I wish you all the best......"

"Thank you!"

Surdak could clearly feel the admiration from the other squads......

……

In the early morning of the eighteenth, Surdak left the Blue Bridge Fortress with his patrol team, and walked all the way along the mountain road on the east side, passing through several fortress jurisdictions along the way, and it took three days to get out of the steep mountain road.

Located at the southernmost point of the eastern mountain range, the fortress is connected to the foot of the mountain by a rugged mountain path flanked by steep cliffs that look like man-made ramps from a distance.

Located at the southernmost point of the eastern mountain range, the Yalu Fortress looks easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If it weren't for the fact that the demon warriors often bypassed the Yalu Fortress and secretly entered the Imperial Defense Zone, they would have thought that there was only such a steep road!

However, even if there are other passages, they are basically steep mountain roads that require climbing over the rock wall and smuggling them to the rear.

Due to the recapture of the fortress of Vichdis by the Grimm Empire.

Recently, the demon warriors have basically not smuggled too much on a large scale, and Surdak has not found any demon warriors hiding in the mountains on the east side along the way.

As the bridgehead of the Grimm Empire, the armor and guards on the walls of the Yalu Fortress are obviously much more than the Blue Bridge Fortress......

Instead of entering the Yalu Fortress to rest, Surdak passed directly through the Yalu Fortress and walked down the steep mountain path down the eastern side of the mountain, which was the eastern edge of the Seventh District, and could overlook the Death Ridge a few kilometers away.

At the end of the ridge on the east side is a field of extinct vegetation, and in addition to the piles of gravel, there are cracked stone slabs everywhere, and countless cracks extend from the large stone slabs.

Except for some shrubs that can be seen at the foot of the Death Ridge Mountain, there are only some rolling gravel on the Gobi Desert at the end of the mountain range on the east side.

"Originally, this was also the main battlefield of the imperial garrison area, but in the past few years, the fight was too strong, the whole land was cracking and collapsing, and the rocks and spaces here have become extremely unstable, so this place can no longer be used as the main battlefield." Jiali. Decker rode his horse and introduced Surdak. "The demons have always hoped to capture the Yalu Fortress, but they have never succeeded!"

The black-scaled horse's iron hooves tread on the cracked stone slabs, which shattered into smaller, faster gravel.

When the group passed by this stone road, the war horses left a row of extremely clear horseshoe prints on the ground.

This is the eastern edge of the battlefield in Sector 7, and looking to the east, it is easy to see the end of this land, and to the east of the end is the Endless Void......

Instead of stopping at the Gobi Desert, which threatened to collapse at any moment and had an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape, the Surdak team marched along the Gobi Desert towards Death Ridge, setting up camp on the edge of Death Ridge.

Surdak was seen threading canned luncheon meat boxes with rope and arranging the ropes around the camp.

Bart asked Surdak in surprise, "Have you ever seen the Hell Mantis?" ”

Surdak pulled out a bone scythe from his bosom that was about to dry out, and asked Bart, "That's what you're talking about?" ”

"You've hunted this thing......

Bart crouched next to the campfire and placed an iron pot on it, and although it was on the edge of the dry Gobi Desert, the team was not short of water.

Bart poured the water from the bladder into the pot and waited for the water to boil......

Samira had already left her horse in the camp and climbed alone on the side of the Death Ridge to survey her surroundings.

Jiali. Decker and Andrew set up their tents, while the ogre brothers brought in a few boulders and placed them in the camp as simple tables and chairs.

In the squad, no one will tell you what to do next, but everyone will do their job and cooperate without gaps......

"They like to go out at night, they are cunning and greedy by nature, so I have prepared this ......"

Surdak pulled out a magic sealing box from his magic waist bag, and there was a whole chilled pork leg in it, and Surdak randomly cut two knives on the pork leg, and hung it on the shelf next to the campfire.

"Gulit Tham...... If you watch it, it's your breakfast tomorrow morning, and if you can't watch it, then it'll become a hell's mantis supper! Surdak waved the fat leg in his hand and pushed the iron rack towards the campfire, allowing the heat from the campfire to smoke the leg.

When the two-headed ogre heard Surdak say this, he immediately threw away the stone in his hand and leaned over to take a closer look at the pig's leg.

Gulit and Brain Flower were both drooling, and Brain Flower was still next to her at this time and said vigorously: "Just roast it slowly on such a low heat, and wait until tomorrow morning, after the pork leg is cooked, just bite it, and the tender fat will leave the bone and squeeze into our mouths...... Absolutely delicious! ”

"Dark, did you sprinkle salt?" Gulitham asked seriously.

"Not ...... yet," Surdak said.

"Before this is baked, you have to sprinkle a little salt on it......"

Seeing this pork leg, the two-headed ogre immediately became a professional chef.

However, the next scene also completely subverted Bart's view of this team, because the hell mantis who wanted to sneak into the camp did not stop all night, but when Bart climbed out of the tent in the morning, he found that except for two mantis that were hung on an iron shelf and roasted with pig legs, the other hell mantis corpses were all piled up outside the tent.

With a skinning squad in hand, Surdak has begun to dismember these Hell Mantis with his own hands.

A big doubt rose in Bart's heart: "So...... What about fighting? ”

This kind of hell mantis, which was talked about by the knights of the Green Empire, did not feel the slightest threat in front of the Surdak team.

And it was obvious that the two hell mantis had been roasted, and Gullitham untied one of the hell mantis from the shelf, laid it flat on the stone platform, and used a dagger to cut open the mantis's fat belly, revealing the tender yellow corn-like worm seeds, which exuded a mouth-watering aroma.

The two-headed ogre brother burst into cheerful cheers at this moment, pulled a spoon from his waist, scooped up the delicious protein and stuffed it into his mouth.

When he saw Bart looking at him directly, he immediately handed over the spoon in a friendly manner and asked, "Bart, do you want to eat some?" ”
