1383. The Devil's Hunt

The news that the mage reconnaissance group had encountered a demon warrior in front of it quickly spread back to the side of the Ghost Pattern Ant Legion of the Western Route Army.

When he heard that the mage was attacked by the demon warriors, the soldier ant legion was advancing north along the edge of the dense forest, and the attacked mage had returned safely with the help of his companions, according to the introduction of Mage Basil, there was only one demon warrior who attacked him, and there was no sign of the activity of the demon legion around.

Surdak lays a map on a mossy stone.

The air is humid, the grass at the edge of the woodland is like a huge, water-absorbing carpet, even the boulders are covered with moss, the trees in the jungle are covered with vines, and small beasts hiding in the forest can be seen everywhere.

Surdak was lined up by a group of soldiers carrying heavily armored infantry, who seemed to be very fond of the humid and warm environment, and where food was more abundant, and they were born with six legs, and they walked faster than the Demonic Horses on the soft grass blankets.

Surdak marked a small red flag at the corresponding location on the map.

On the map, the Samosto River is located on the eastern border of Handanaar, thousands of kilometers from north to south, and its source is the convergence of numerous mountain streams in the northern mountains of Handanale, and then meanders through this jungle for hundreds of kilometers, just on the southeast border of Handanar County into a large rift valley, south through Epsonshire, etc., and finally into the Kempatomos River.

It can be said that the Samosto River is also a tributary of the Kempatomos River.

It is likely that the demon warriors that haunt this area have come out of the mountains of Moyun Ridge, or they may have been sent by the scout team sent by the demon army that occupied Kornbergshire.

The county of Handanale is bordered by the county of Kornberg, and the line between the two counties is the Moss River, another tributary of the Kempatomos River.

Now Duke Newman has stationed nearly half of the elite troops of the Bednar Legion along the Moss River, not only to prevent the demon legions of Kornberg from taking advantage of the situation to attack Handanaar, but also to hope that after the death of Duke Ryan, the Bednar Legion will have a chance to storm Kornbergshire.

However, now Surdak has actually found traces of evil spirits in the Samosto River Valley, which is at least thousands of miles away from Moyun Ridge, so it is necessary to investigate where this demon scout team came from anyway.

Surdak commanded one of the knights behind him, "Go and call Gulitham and Tygo!" ”

"Yes."

The horsemen who gave the order immediately rode their horses and ran forward.

It didn't take long for the two-headed ogre and the wolf knight Tiger to run from the front of the group.

The two of them had never seen the dark legion of the Abyss Prison Force, let alone the demon warrior, and several of them showed strong curiosity about the demon warrior.

The two-headed ogre prefers the humid and warm environment, but Bernita the frostwolf doesn't like it very much, his silver mane is always wet and looks very embarrassed.

However, it is next to the jungle, so Tygo occasionally takes Bernita into the woods to hunt, which is more interesting than the plains.

"You see, according to the information provided by the mage scout, the demon warrior was found next to this river valley, I need to know whether the demon warrior who infiltrated this jungle is a reconnaissance team or an advance army, Gulitham has a lot of experience in surviving in the jungle, and Tiger is an excellent tracker." Surdak paused for a moment before adding, "So you're going to take a team of Constructed Knights with you for this operation. ”

Hearing Surdak say this, the ogre and the wolf knight glanced at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

"Yes."

The two said in unison.

"This time, the mage scout Basil will be your guide for the first time working with the mage, so I hope you will always have respect for him." Surdak reminded the two of them.

"Don't worry, Dark. I know that he can see farther than us in the air, especially the mountain paths, and can help us find the most suitable pass to climb, and we will not offend him so recklessly! Gullit patted his chest and assured.

Surdak saw a Druyin sitting on the back of a ghost-patterned soldier ant, talking and laughing with a heavy infantry regiment passing by, and called the young Druyin over.

"Lenny, come on!"

These aborigines of the southern tribes of the White Forest Plane believe in the Children of Nature, and they have learned some of the laws of nature from the World Tree, so in the past year, many of the aborigines have become Druyin.

These Druyin are not only able to use their spiritual power to communicate with the ghost-patterned soldier ants, but their greatest ability is actually to communicate with the plants in the forest.

Of course, they can't just one plant, they can only communicate with a few plants in the forest that have memory.

The young Druyin immediately manipulated the ghost-patterned soldier ant to stop beside Surdak, he took it from the ant's body, and bowed deeply to Surdak before he said respectfully, "Lord Surdak, what do you command?" ”

The ghost-patterned soldier ant slowly crouched down beside him, lying quietly to the side, and the huge black compound eyes on his head always made people shudder.

"Lenny, I need you to follow Gulitham and Tygo to explore this place!" Surdak pointed to the place where the small flag was drawn on the map and said, "I need to borrow your power to track down the movements of those evil spirits. ”

"Willing to serve you!" Young Drew Yinrani said to Surdak.

Surdak also wanted to say a few more words to Gulitem.

Andrew chased after him from the back of the line, and he must have heard about it too, and asked expectantly:

"Duck, what about me? This kind of thing suits me well, so let me go with a cavalry squad to investigate. ”

Surdak had already begun to pack up the map on the stone, he rolled the parchment map into a tube, inserted it into the satchel behind the horse's butt, then turned over and said, "I know you're a better fit, but I need you to stay and help me manage this army of soldiers." ”

Andrew scratched his head and looked at the team of soldiers in front of him, which was several kilometers long, although he was a little reluctant, but he didn't say anything.

Then the wolf cavalry Tiger and Gulitham set off with a squad of soldiers.

Originally, they wanted to bring a well-trained cavalry squad, but because they had to pass through this jungle, which was full of vines, it took a lot of effort to carve out a way for the cavalry to pass through.

Walking through the jungle in front of you is not a difficult task for these ghost-patterned soldier ants.

Not only are they extremely powerful, but they are also clad in hard armor and have huge teeth on their heads, making it easy to carve a way out of the forest.

Surdak continued to march north with the Soldier Legion.

……

Since the road chosen by Surdak did not correspond to the planned route drawn up by the military department, the supply materials of the logistics department could not be supplied in time.

And this army of soldiers and ants not only has 50,000 ghost pattern soldiers, but also 50,000 hoplites, each of whom only carries fifteen days of marching rations, which are not enough to support them to reach the forest camp, so they have to hunt some forest beasts as rations along the way.

These soldiers are natural hunters, and they can dig out of the dirt, even if they are hares hiding in their burrows.

Those wild boars and other things can't escape the poisonous hands of these ghost-patterned soldiers.

At this time, Surdak finally saw the scene of ghost-patterned red ants forming a beast tide in the jungle.

In addition, the rations purchased by Aphrodite from the Hylantha merchant group were also brought over by Surdak through the Void Gate in batches, so the supplies on the side of the Soldier Ant Legion were still very abundant.

Originally, Surdak had just planned to walk north along the edge of the jungle to reach the camp earlier.

But the news that Gulitum and the wolf knight Tiger had returned from the banks of the Samosto River made him hesitate.

At night, Surda sat in a tent with Andrew.

A lantern hung on the roof of the tent, and the soft light released illuminated the map on the carpet, and Surdak used a red pen to expand the Samosto River basin on the map, and said to Andrew: "It is now certain that a large number of demon warriors are scattered along the banks of this river......"

"What the hell are they hiding here?" Andrew touched his chin and bushy beard.

Surdak said: "There are some indigenous tribes hidden in the mountains east of the Samosto River, and many of the nearby colonies often drink water by this river, and there are all kinds of resources there, and those evil spirits also need to fill their stomachs, so I guess there is a demon hunting army hidden there." ”

Andrew knew what Surdak was wrestling with, he wanted to eat these demons, but he didn't want to delay his trip.

Duke Newman hoped that his army would soon reach the line of the woodyard camp and replace the elite of the Bednar Legion.

"It's better to do this, most of our Western Route Army are heavy infantry, so it's better to let Samira and Jiali. Decker was behind, leading the other half of the Western Route Army along the planned route, so that the supplies were also abundant, and he could rest in the city of Handanar on the way. Andrew said with some excitement: "Let's take these ghost-patterned soldiers and hoplite soldiers, go into that forest, quickly eliminate the group of evil spirits, and then use the speed advantage of the soldier ants to go around to the front and join Samira." ”

In fact, Surdak thinks so too.

He was just worried that once the army got entangled with those demons in the jungle, and then they couldn't eat and take off, that would be the most troublesome thing.

"Since you have met it, there is no need to avoid it!" Andrew added.

Hearing Andrew say this, Surdak also turned his heart on the side and said:

"Then let's do it, turn around and drill into the forest tomorrow morning with the soldier ant army, and let's go to the Samosto River first to get rid of those evil spirits......"

Andrew and Surdak clapped their hands and said excitedly and loudly, "Just waiting for your words!" We can't afford to be intimidated at this time. ”
