1289. Turning to war
Hearing that the lord's army was preparing to move the camp to the east side of the mountain, the merchant group began to pack their bags, and they rushed to load all the goods into the four-wheeled wagons before dark, and the tents were not put away, because they had to spend the night here tonight, and it was too late to dismantle the tents early tomorrow,
The vanguard of the lord's army had already marched towards the camp on the east side of the giant mountain, and this was the third day that Surdak had returned to the camp with the exploration party, and the lord's army had begun to prepare to leave the stone arch bridge, but there would still be three heavy infantry regiments across the lake, a total of 4,500 heavy infantry soldiers and 500 crossbowmen, a total of 5,000 troops stationed at the bridge.
The brigade of the lord army all moved to the east, and Surdak prepared to lead the lord army to rush into the Dark Worm Valley in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the cave on the east side of the giant mountain.
After the merit exchange list was announced, it greatly boosted the fighting enthusiasm of the other lord armies.
At the beginning, they came to Bailin with the army, in fact, most of them were just to cope with errands, after all, they were all lords' private armies formed by the lords of the Ganbu plane out of their own pockets, and the lords raised these private armies, one was to guard their own territory, and the other was to go out to the plane to open up other new territories.
However, with the frequent outbreak of dimensional wars, the armies of the small lords of the Grimm Empire have lost one after another on the plane battlefields, and now few lords will send their troops out to open up their territories at such a time.
If it weren't for Surdak's recent brilliant achievements and the fact that he was also the great lord of the Ganbu plane, I am afraid that there would not be so many lords who would dare to follow him and send troops to the Bailin plane to expand their territory......
Now almost everyone in the Alliance Lords Army is staring at the top 100 on the merit list, and everyone wants to know who will end up with the magic pattern structure at the top of the list.
I have to say that there are still a lot of ruthless people in the lord's army, but these people are usually low-key, and now they have broken out, and even Samira and Andrew's personal exploits have not been able to enter the top ten of the rankings.
These lords have been submitting their petitions very frequently lately, and each squad has a high level of mission completion.
In fact, the lords of the Ganbu Plane already knew that Surdak had obtained a large amount of land in the Three Rivers Plain, and then harvested a large number of magical materials on the Red Ants, and the dividends of the war made them earn a lot of money this autumn, not only the Ganbu Plane, but even many lords in Bena City and Hailanza City heard that Surdak had made a lot of money on the side of the White Forest Plane, and they had privately wanted to join in and get a piece of the pie through various channels.
However, many harsh conditions put forward by Surdak were stopped outside the walls of the Alliance Lords' Army.
……
Watching the main forces of the lord army march eastward one after another, some adventure groups want to follow the main tribe to the battlefield in front, while more adventure groups stay at the entrance of the anthill and fight with the ghost soldiers and ants guarding the cave entrance every day.
Although they take great risks every day, the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ants harvested every day are the biggest motivation for these adventuring groups to stay afloat.
As long as you have the strength and are willing to take risks here, and there is a good adventure group to join, the daily harvest can make these adventure group members wake up with a smile in their dreams, these ghost-patterned soldiers and ants will not climb out of the hole at all to kill, they seem to have been scared by the lord army of Surdak, and they just stick to the entrance of the cave every day, and never step out of the anthill for half a step.
In fact, even if these ghost-patterned soldiers run out of the hole, so many adventure groups still have the strength to fight, and what these adventure groups are most afraid of are actually those ghost-patterned male ants who can break through the rocks from under their feet.
Therefore, a part of the adventuring group followed Surdak's army to the east side of the giant mountain, and the other large part of the adventuring group stayed at the entrance of the anthill cave.
The lord army of Surdak has given up all the anthole hunting spots here, hoping to leave some more adventure groups to snipe the ghost-patterned red ants here.
And the lord's army can also shrink its forces and participate in the upcoming cave attack and defense battle.
Andrew and the wolf knight Tiger listened to the two-headed ogre's vivid description of the strange scenery in the Dark Worm Valley, and they all asked Surdak to fight, preparing to lead a heavy infantry regiment into the cave first.
But when they all boarded the high stone arch bridge and saw the cave hanging high above the cliff wall, they couldn't help but be a little worried about whether their heavy infantry regiment would be able to defeat the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants guarding there when they attacked the entrance of the cave, and stand firmly.
For Samira, these things don't need to be thought about too much, as the commander of the archer regiment, no matter which infantry regiment goes into battle, her archer regiment has to follow behind, covering it with long-range fire.
Now she just cares about Carrie. The corpses of the ghost-striped flying ants that Decker brought back, Carrie. Decker explained to her that when the first ghost-striped flying ant appeared, the entire exploration team barely reacted, and their speed was so fast that people couldn't keep up with their rapid flight trajectory with the naked eye.
This is what Samira needs to care about the most, because if she doesn't get it right, her archer team may have to be reduced, which is the last thing Samira wants to see.
Another thing is how to send bed crossbows to the battlefield at the mouth of the cave, after all, on this narrow stone arch bridge, these bed crossbows are simply not lined up.
In these two days, the busiest person is probably the high priest Selena of the Temple of the Two Goddesses, who almost used some leisure time after dinner to start developing believers in the barracks, and the private army of the lords of Surdak is basically the base of the rebel army, and most of them are the natives of the Ganbu plane.
The influence of the Lady of Liberty did not penetrate there at all, so for the Goddess of the Night to send some gospel, the hoplite soldiers in the barracks accepted the Goddess of the Night one after another and became a new group of believers.
In addition, the Peng birds that flew over from the north of Bailin frequently lingered over the lord army......
These birds are very intelligent, no matter how tempting the lord army is. Confused, these Peng birds refused to fly down.
The soldiers of the logistics department of the Legion of Lords in Samira and Karry. Under the supervision of a team of archers, it took Decker and his team of archers to finally spend ten days connecting a ropeway between the stone arch bridge and the convex rock at the mouth of the cave, and laying a thick layer of wooden planks on the cableway.
The span of this chain bridge is not large, only a dozen meters short, and now it is connected by chains as thick as two dozen arms.
The passage to the cave was completely opened, and as the vanguard of the attack on the cave, Andrew led his heavy infantry regiment to successfully land at the entrance of the cave almost on the day the rope bridge was built, and also repelled several counterattacks by the ghost soldiers.
In this battle, Surdak sat on the stone arch bridge, and he was mainly responsible for treating the wounded in time, and used his spare time to check whether the trophies contained precious life magic patterns on their bodies.
