Mid-October, outside the city of Bena.

After nearly two months of busyness, the space magicians of the Astrologer Guild finally set up a temporary teleportation circle in the square at the gate of the southern city.

The height of this magic circle is about ten meters, the shape is like a huge horse's hooves with the opening facing up, all the components are made of black iron and red copper, there are a large number of magic runes carved on it, and the magic hub teleportation core of the circle is exposed in the center of the circle, and the teleportation circle is built on a two-meter-high stone platform, which is very conspicuous in the square outside the city, and there are six groups of magic sources in the six directions of the stone platform.

Six sets of mana sources will take turns to provide a huge amount of mana to the teleportation circle, and after repeated adjustments, the circle is now finally functioning normally.

Unlike those fixed portals, the connecting passage is blocked by a mirror-like mana barrier, and people only need to step into the mirror and instantly walk out of the magic portal at the other end.

The temporary teleportation circle is more like a giant magic vortex, and you can see endless star maps from the vortex, and standing at the temporary teleportation door for too long will make people feel a strong sense of vertigo.

In fact, like Bednar City, as a rare big city in the Grimm Empire, Evorsen City also has a teleportation hall.

However, even if it is purchased in batches, the cost of a single pass in the teleportation hall cannot be reduced below the five magic crystals, and it is impossible for the lord army to go to Ewalson City through such an expensive portal.

As for why the legion didn't take the cheaper magic airship, it was because the Bena Provincial Military Department could not summon five hundred magic airships at the same time, and the ticket knights for the magic airship were not cheap.

Although the temporary teleportation circle costs a lot of money, as long as the number of teleporters reaches a certain number, in fact, the teleportation cost is only about five gold coins on average, which is still more cost-effective in detail.

On October 16, the day after Surdak returned to the city of Bena.

The Warsaw plane reinforcements of the Eastern Route Army were assembled, and the area outside the southern gate of Bena City was under the control of the military headquarters from the morning. Under Arnold's leadership, he crossed the temporary portal and entered the territory of Ewalson City.

This time to reinforce the Warsaw plane, the Eastern Route Army can be said to be the main battle group.

Commander Edmond. Arnold was the same as Ferdinand. Compared with the heavy infantry regiment of the Western Route Army, which accounts for 90 percent of the whole army, the heavy armored infantry regiment of the Eastern Route Army is only 50,000, and there are nearly 30,000 cavalry regiments, 10,000 archery regiments and 10,000 armored swordsmen.

The combat strength of the 100,000-strong army is not a little higher than that of Surdak's Western Route Army.

Surdak's 100,000 hoplites, 10,000 cavalry and 1,000 knights in the Western Route Army were like a cannon fodder army.

Although through the efforts of the Marquis of Luthor, the schedule for the departure of the Western Route Army was at the back, but when it came to the battlefield, Surdak would have to face a different situation.

It took two days for the 100,000 troops of the Western Route Army to pass through the temporary teleportation circle.

The temporary teleportation circle needs to consume a huge amount of mana every time it is activated, so once it is opened, it is impossible to stop easily, so Surdak's Western Route Army needs to follow closely behind the Western Route Army and enter the temporary teleportation circle.

……

Due to the gathering and dispersion of the majestic mana of the temporary teleportation circle, the magic particles in the surrounding natural environment were pulled, and the sky above the circle was covered with a thick cloud of mana, which was mixed with a series of swimming electric snakes, and these mana clouds formed a huge vortex above the teleportation circle.

From time to time, an electric snake fell, and it would be led into the ground by the black metal rods erected high on both sides of the circle, and it would disappear in an instant.

On an autumn afternoon, a group of noble officials from Bednar City stood on top of the southern wall. The Marquis of Dunstan stood at the front, next to the Marquis of Luther of the Military Department, the Marquis of Gulas of the Logistics Department, and Lucian of the Newman family. The Marquis of Newman.

Surdak also spotted Quartermaster Louis in the crowd. Fitch, the rest of the Bena nobles who couldn't be named by Surdak, could only tell the rank from the noble badge on their chests, but unfortunately Surdak was standing under the city wall, and he couldn't see it clearly from such a distance.

A group of officials from the military department stood behind this group of nobles, and many of them even had faces.

Surdak stood beneath the city walls, watching as the last of the Western Route Army's hoplite regiments entered the portal.

Dozens of magicians controlled this temporary teleportation circle on the square outside the South City Gate, and the Western Route Army had all teleported, and there would be a break in between.

The mages also need to take a break and regain their magic a little.

At this moment, the temporary teleportation circle is operating at an ultra-low load, and under the introduction of the liaison officer of the military department, Surdak can be regarded as meeting the person in charge of the temporary teleportation array.

According to the liaison officer of the military department, the person in charge of the temporary teleportation circle is a space magician, whose name is French, what does this magician say! He is very old-fashioned, and he belongs to the kind of person with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Jiali. Decker had already arrived at the temporary military camp in Bena City with the cavalry regiment two days ago, this time the Western Route Army entered the order of the temporary teleportation circle, Surdak planned to let the cavalry regiment and the Constructed Knights enter the passage first, and the first task of the cavalry regiment after arriving in Ewalson City was to quickly carve out a field for the army to be stationed outside the portal there.

Otherwise, once the hoplite regiment blocks the portal and the hoplites on the side of Bednar continue to walk inside the portal, it is easy to cause a stampede.

After all, it was an infantry in heavy armor, and if a stampede was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So as Surdak asked, Karry. Decker will lead the cavalry through the portal first and occupy a large enough open field.

In addition, Surdak actually has a hole card in his hand, that is, the 50,000 ghost-patterned soldier ants hoarded in Wilkes City, these ghost-patterned soldier ants who are about to expedition to the Warsaw plane are the cannon fodder army prepared by Surdak for the demon army, and the reason why they have stayed in Wilkes City is also because they are worried that these ghost-patterned red ants will enter Bena City too early and cause a riot among the people of Bena.

When the group of magicians from the Astrologer Guild finished resting, Surdak immediately beckoned Andrew and Carrie. Decker shouted to his side.

"Gullitham, Andrew, Tygo, you and Carrie. Decker goes over there first! I need a large enough open space for the hoplites and the ghostly red ants, and preferably the cavalry to form a human wall, I don't want to scare the people of Evorson. ”

The square was noisy, Surdak shouted.

"Got it, boss, don't worry, I'll clear up enough space." Andrew responded.

It's not the first time these people have crossed portals to fight, and they all know what to look out for.

Surdak nodded, and asked Samira, who was beside him, "Have you informed the Chester Archswordsman?" ”

"I already hear the sound of those red ants running down the central street......" Samira said with certainty, looking at the south gate of the city.

At this time, Karrie. Decker had already led the first cavalry regiment, stepped on the steps under the teleportation circle, and strode into the temporary teleportation circle in a line.

At the same moment, the sound of thousands of horses galloping suddenly sounded in the city of Bena.

The aristocratic officials on the city wall looked back curiously, and saw a red tide surging from the main street to the south gate, and a large group of ghost-patterned soldier ants were like a herd of horses running along the long street, which had long been under martial law by the knights of the guard battalion, so these ghost-patterned soldiers could run towards the front unscrupulously.

Several aborigines of the southern tribes of the Bailin plane stood on top of several tall ghost pattern soldier ants, and they grabbed the tentacles above the heads of ghost pattern soldier ants with one hand, standing on them steadily, no matter how bumpy they were, they couldn't lift them down.

These natives are all Druyin, and they have the ability to communicate with the ghostly soldier ants, which is one of the agreements reached between the Grand Elder of the Southern Tribe and Surdak.

At this moment, the noble officials in the city were a little dumbfounded, pointing at the ant colony in the city.

Although Marquis Luthor knew about this, he didn't expect Surdak to bring so many ghost-patterned soldier ants, it seems that there are at least forty or fifty thousand.

"This kid can really do anything!" Fred. Marquis Dunstan complained to Marquis Luthor.

Marquis Luthor could only pretend to smile bitterly at this time.

Soon, the aborigines of the southern tribe drove the ghost-patterned red ants into the parade square outside the south gate of the city, and the sturdy ghost-patterned soldiers were larger than the war horses, with clear black devil patterns on their bodies, and a pair of sharp teeth on their heads, which looked unusually fierce.

Just as Surdak was leading people to guide these ghost-patterned soldier ants to enter the portal, they were stopped by several magicians from the astrologer's guild.

"Stop, stop, stop! This time, the limited number of teleportation people in the temporary teleportation circle is only 200,000, and these ghost-patterned red ants are not in the teleportation plan, so they can't teleport long-distance! A black-robed magician stepped forward and shouted at the front of the native, Druyin.

The Druyin was stopped by the magician, and hurriedly commanded a group of ghost-patterned soldiers behind him to stop.

There was a cloud of dust in front of the portal......

Surdak noticed that the army in front of him was not moving, and immediately squeezed towards the temporary portal.

When he heard the reason of the black-robed magician, he quickly explained: "These ghost-patterned soldier ants are also part of our Western Route Army......

The black-robed magician didn't listen to Surdak's explanation at all, and shouted at him, "You mess around like this, it will overload the temporary teleportation circle, and we can't afford to take such a risk." ”

The Chester Archswordsman rushed out of the city gate, and the ghost-patterned soldier ants were able to pass through the portal of Wilkes City smoothly, and it was also the Chester Archswordsman who helped coordinate the communication, and now he rushed over and found the head of the astrologers' magic guild, the magician French, and explained to him:

"Can you be accommodating, after all, these are also soldiers of the Western Route Army."

Unexpectedly, the French magician didn't even give face to the Great Swordsman of Chester, and said to the Great Swordsman of Chester and Surdak with a straight face:

"I'm sorry, the strength of the Eastern Route Army we carry is only 110,000 units, if you let these ghost-patterned soldiers and ants pass, then there will be the same number of soldiers stranded in Bena City in the future, the number of teleportations is already set by us and the military department, it is impossible for you to add it casually, this is not in accordance with the rules."

The Great Swordsman of Chester repeatedly explained: "We also want to strengthen the Western Route Army, after all, this Warsaw Plane War is very important for the province of Bena......"

"The rated number of reinforcements on the east and west routes is 100,000, considering that the proportion of infantry in the Western Route Army is slightly more, the military department has raised the rated strength of the Western Route Army up to 10,000 people, you are 110,000, what else is not satisfied?" The French magician directly choked the Chester swordsman into silence.

Surdak looked at the ghost-patterned soldier ants crowded at the door of the temporary teleportation array, and could only wipe his forehead fiercely, and reasoned to him:

"Okay, as you said, the Eastern Route Army only has 100,000 troops this time, of which 30,000 are cavalry, that is to say...... A cavalryman and a horse like this counts as only one combat unit, doesn't it? ”

The Wizard of French said with a straight face, "That's right, cavalry is like that, and if you have cavalry, I will also count it as a unit of quantity for you." ”

Surdak squinted his eyes and said to Druyin, who was crowded in front of the temporary teleportation circle, "Okay, you guys take the ghost pattern soldiers and ants to withdraw first, then I know what to do!" ”

Druyin ordered the group of ghost-patterned soldiers to retreat to the parade square, and Surdak came to the camp of the heavy infantry regiment and ordered the group of commanders who were ready to go: "The 31st to 60th heavy armored infantry regiments of the Eastern Route Army listen to the order and line up through the teleportation circle in turn. ”

"Yes!" Thirty commanders hurriedly ran to Surdak to receive orders.

These hoplite regiments were all hoplite regiments assigned to Surdak by other lords, and Surdak's descendant hoplite regiments numbered 1 to 30.

After Surdak gave the order, he heard the commander of the 31st Heavy Infantry Regiment immediately shouting loudly: "The 31st Heavy Infantry Regiment, listen to my command of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Brigades, and the platoon will march towards the teleportation array, and the brigades will be tighter among them. ”

The neatly arranged hoplites withdrew their gaze, no longer looking at the ghost-patterned soldiers in the parade square, and followed the soldiers in front of them, and walked into the portal in a long line without hesitation.

Surdak was not idle, and when he saw that the temporary teleportation circle was starting to operate normally, he brought the reorganized First Heavy Infantry Regiment of the Eastern Route Army to the side of the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant Colony.

This group of heavy infantry is almost all veterans who have fought with Surdak all the way from the dry cloth plane, and they are the most elite heavy infantry regiment in Surdak's hands.

I saw Surdak patting the front leg of a ghost-patterned soldier ant to let it out of the crowd, this huge ghost-patterned soldier ant resisted a little, and hissed threateningly towards Surdak, and Druyin in the back continued to give appeasement orders to this ghost-patterned soldier ant.

Despite this, the ghost-patterned soldier ant was still hostile to Surdak.

It's just that Surdak was not afraid, he grabbed the sharp teeth of the ghost soldier ant with one hand, stepped on the forelimbs stretched out by the soldier ant, and rushed to the top of the ghost pattern soldier ant's head, grabbed the tentacles on the top of the ghost soldier ant's head with both hands, and stood on it steadily.

Then Surdak shouted loudly: "All the soldiers of the 1st Heavy Infantry Regiment of the Eastern Route Army, listen to my orders, like me...... Ride on! ”

The ghost-patterned soldier ant shook its head vigorously with some uneasiness, and Surdak tugged at its tentacles fiercely, perhaps it hurt a little, and the ghost-patterned soldier ant raised its head and opened its teeth, making a hissing strange cry.

"Your Excellency Commander......"

The commanders of the infantry regiments on the side all pinched a cold sweat for Surdak......

Surdak had an aura of 'enthusiasm' at his feet, and he stomped the top of the ghost-patterned ant's head, which made it completely quiet.

Looking at Surdak's violent appearance, the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants on the side all retreated.

Surdak commanded the group of heavy infantry warriors in front of him:

"Ride up, stand on top of it, grasp its tentacles, don't step on their eyes, don't be afraid to hurt them, they have a slave contract with the Druyin, they don't have any aggression against us, come on...... Right! That's it, hurry up and start the queue. ”
