1290. Absorption

After discovering that the lord army was trying to enter the Dark Worm Valley through the cave, in order to stop the invasion of the lord army, the ghost red ant launched a fierce counterattack.

The cave is overwhelmed with ghost-patterned soldiers, they are trying to retake the cave with their numerical superiority, most of Surdak's lord army are heavy infantry warriors, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong, but Surdak has a few second-turn powerhouses around him, and half of the Constructed Knights.

Under Andrew's leadership, a regiment of hoplites first seized the entrance to the cave.

The Ghost Pattern Red Ant launched a fierce counterattack, and the Heavy Infantry Regiment could not withstand the attack of the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant, and then Andrew transferred half of the Constructed Knights to the battlefield, and immediately stabilized the battle situation at the mouth of the cave.

Subsequently, the commanders of the other lord armies also petitioned Surdak, hoping that their armies could also fight in the cave battlefield, so Surdak organized these lord armies into eight teams, and four warbands would alternate in rotation on the cave battlefield every day, and it would take two days to complete a large rotation.

However, due to the unprecedented fierce resistance of the ghost soldiers and ants here, not only did there be casualties every day, but the lord army did not succeed in capturing the cave, and the battle was constantly pulling at the entrance of the cave. Andrew and Tego have brought the elite of the Constructed Knights to repel the ghost-patterned soldiers several times, but this group of ghost-patterned soldiers and ants can regain the lost positions every time they change their defenses.

After entering November, the temperature in the Bailin plane dropped suddenly, but the battle situation here has been in a stalemate.

The lords of Surdak are at war with the Ghost Soldiers, and every day they make some new catches, but they can't penetrate into the depths of the cavern.

Hundreds of corpses of ghost-patterned soldiers were acquired almost every day by the merchant group, and some lucky infantry soldiers picked up some citrine-like gems from the caves, and these uncut gem ores were also sought after by the caravans.

In this way, in this winter, there were many caravans and adventure groups in the northern occupation area of the White Forest Plane, and it is said that the first adventure groups that followed the lord army into the Three Rivers Plain had already found the first pot of gold at this time, and now the adventure groups outside the mountains of the Dark Worm Valley have also made a lot of money.

This long supply line, which runs through the Invercargill Forest and the hilly mountains and Dodan Gorge, is almost everywhere with wagons transporting supplies.

This plane war is actually constantly squeezing the wealth contained in the Dark Worm Valley, and the wealth itself is these ghost-patterned soldier ants.

This was also the original purpose of Surdak's original plan to come to the White Forest Plane, he needed to raise a sum of money to invest in Ruyt, change the city's current 'dirty' predicament, and also wanted to build a hanging garden on the outer walls of Ruyt, so that the ancient city could attract some investors and tourists again.

One by one, the ghost-striped soldiers were transported to Bena City, where their flesh became a delicacy on people's tables, and the hard carapace was sent to the leather factory.

These hard armor skins are an excellent material for making war horse armor, and at present, merchants from the western provinces have gone to Bena Province to purchase some of these hard armor skins.

Surdak didn't know how many ghost-patterned soldiers were hiding in the Valley of the Dark Worms.

In the past month, the lord army has killed at least nearly 10,000 ghost soldiers on the battlefield at the entrance of the cave.

Judging from the current signs, the ghost pattern ant seems to be endless, constantly pouring into the battlefield through the cave, and the red ants rush to the battlefield in order to form a numerical suppression on the battlefield, they rush to the battlefield and do not retreat, either to die in battle, or to die of exhaustion in the end.

Even Surdak threw some black powder kegs into the battlefield, but it didn't make these ghost-patterned soldiers and ants who fought the battlefield retreat.

During this time, the ghost-patterned males in the Dark Worm Valley often emerge from the ground, and they often come out of the lake to sneak up on the logistics supply lines behind the lord's army, but Surdak has also been prepared for this, and the mage group has been scouting and monitoring in various places. Decker led the cavalry to the battlefield and disposed of the ghostly males as soon as possible.

The magic cores in the Demon Sealing Box can fill a box almost every few days, and the gold coins exchanged for the other magic materials harvested by the merchants can completely offset the daily expenses of the lord army.

By the beginning of December, someone in the lord's army had finally accumulated enough merit points to successfully redeem the magic pattern structure on the list.

This swordsman, affectionately called the old cat by his companions, was only a swordsman at his peak, and belonged to the commander of the Seventh Heavy Infantry Regiment of the Collins Lord's Army, and in battle, with a bee sting like a cone and a sharp storm sword, he could almost kill indiscriminately in the colony of soldiers, and more than three hundred ghost-patterned soldiers died in his personal hands this month.

His life-sacrificing fighting style also caused him to be injured repeatedly, and he was sent to Surdak for treatment every time.

When he exchanged for the brand-new Demon Pattern Structure, he immediately ran to the gate of the barracks and put the entire set of Magic Pattern Makeup on his body in full view of everyone.

Many of the warriors of the lord army cast envious glances as they passed by him.

It was the Demonic Pattern Construct Set on the Merit List that was redeemed, and those warriors who had accumulated a lot of merit in their hands retreated to other rewards.

Some people exchanged for a single magic pattern construct, some people exchanged for magic weapons, and some people even simply exchanged some magic crystals and sent them home through the military merchant group.

The lucrative side of the war was vividly displayed in front of the soldiers of these lord armies.

The soldiers of the lord army also gradually became familiar with the way to fight these ghost-patterned soldiers, and the battle line of the lord army began to slowly advance into the cave.

In fact, the most difficult thing in this is that the ghost soldiers and ants who have just rushed to the front of the battlefield will pour the acid rot accumulated in their stomachs into the lord army, even the tower shield cannot completely block this corrosive liquid, and almost all the soldiers who have fought with the ghost pattern soldiers will have this corrosive wound on their bodies.

Although it is not fatal, it is very painful.

Now most of the entire wounded soldier treatment camp is an infantry soldier whose skin has been burned and corroded, and even the bright red muscles and white bones inside will be exposed.

For Surdak, in the past month of fighting, he can be regarded as obtaining some precious life patterns from the occasional giant ghost pattern soldier ants, which were originally intended to form the other half of the Constructed Knights to strengthen those demonic war horses and constructed knights, but now, Surdak will also implant these life patterns into the wounded soldiers who have lost a large area of skin.

Of course, Surdak will not take out these magic patterns for free, and these warriors who have been healed after serious injuries have rejoined Surdak's lord army after their bodies have recovered......
