The first thing Commander Surdak did when he returned from Handanar was to set up a merit exchange list at the door of the cafeteria.

Although the ten sets of demonic pattern constructs on the merit list are a little too far away for the soldiers of the 110,000 Western Route Army, this does not affect the dream of constructing knights in the hearts of every infantry soldier.

Everyone is on the same starting line, and in the next battle, strength is not the only criterion for judging merit.

Luck, hard work, courage, teamwork, command and leadership skills, etc., all affect the merits you have achieved.

No one can guarantee that they will definitely be able to obtain the magic pattern construction on the merit list.

Especially in Samira, Gulitham, Andrew, Wolf Knight Tego, Carry. At the same time, the five second-rank powerhouses of Decker announced their withdrawal from the Legion's merit competition, and the merit they obtained would only be exchanged for some magic crystals and gold coins.

The infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army began to agitate.

After all, in addition to the ten sets of magic pattern constructions on the merit list, there are also ten high-end magic weapons of excellent quality, and there is also a single magic pattern construction in the back, and there are dozens of such prizes.

There are thousands of magic weapons and magic rune boards with various functions in the back.

In fact, there is also a part of the prize Surdak that has not been disclosed, that is, in addition to the rewards of the Surdak Formation, the Surdak descendants can also choose to implant the Life Magic Pattern.

The warriors in the entire forest camp began to move, and everyone began to look forward to being able to get the task of going out on duty in the new day.

Especially seeing that those ant cavalry had to bring back the corpses of demon warriors from the woodland outside every day, and each unidentified black magic crystal could be exchanged for seven hundred merit points, the heavy infantry soldiers were even more hot-eyed......

What ensued was the discussion in the forest camp about exchanging merit lists.

The 50,000 lord army of Surdak has become accustomed to this method of rewarding battles, and everyone is actively preparing for battle, selecting some low-hanging fruit targets on the merit exchange list, and preparing to give it a go.

It's just that Surdak's reward and punishment system has also been opposed by some small lords in the Western Route Army, who think that Surdak's approach is completely harming the vested interests of the noble lords, since the Western Route Army is composed of the private armies of various lords, then Surdak has no right to require all lords to divide merit in this way.

In response to this kind of doubt, Surdak also did a relatively simple job.

All lord armies that do not agree to calculate merit according to the merit exchange list can follow the original distribution system as long as they apply.

The loot captured on the battlefield was distributed exclusively among the commanders of the respective teams.

As soon as the news was announced, the prestige and prestige of the small lords who had raised their voices of opposition plummeted.

However, these little lords still have strong enough control over their private army.

They quickly silenced these bad voices.

Subsequently, there was a new theory in the Western Route Army, that is, to list the benefits of some of the old merit distribution model, to quickly expand the lord army, to speed up the process of ending the war, to allow the fallen soldiers to have more generous pensions, and so on......

But what the heavy infantry warriors in the Surdak Lord Army did next made the foreign dirt buns in the forest camp unable to figure it out.

They even exchanged their hard-won exploits for some consumables on the battlefield casually, such as infantry soldiers of the same battle squad would actually exchange them for some magic crossbow arrows that were difficult to recover when shot, or some fire scale bullets and magic scrolls.

Forget about magic crossbow arrows and firescale bullets, at least they can be used on the battlefield, which is a bit of a luxury......

But what can magic scrolls be used for? Infantry warriors are not magic apprentices, and those magic scrolls require a little mana to activate, which means that only magicians can use them.

However, many infantry warriors will buy these defensive magic scrolls......

Since he couldn't figure it out, he could only silently watch those heavy infantry grab the consumables on the merit list.

……

The news of the rapid recovery of the two wounded members of the Duoyin Adventure Group after receiving treatment in the forest camp was like a dandelion blown away by the wind, and small white umbrellas flew all over the sky.

Many of the adventure groups that hunted evil spirits in the northern part of the Great Meadow began to gather at the forest camp after hearing the news, in fact, everyone wanted to verify the authenticity of the news.

After all, once the news is true, it will be of great help to these adventure groups.

The previous conservative battle plan can become more aggressive, and at the same time, the harvest on the hunting ground will also increase, after all, no one is afraid of money.

And those robber adventures who dare to rob other adventure groups are living less and less.

They can hide in the Great Meadow, but they can't get to the Tree Farm Camp to resupply.

Unless it's one of those adventurers who are completely unexposed, once they run to the forest camp, they will become street rats that everyone shouts at.

During his return to the camp, Surdak was busy, not only forming a regiment of ant cavalry, but also taking the time to summon the merchants of the free market in the camp.

Surdak demanded that the merchants give a certain degree of preferential treatment to the adventuring parties that came to the free market to resupply, and warned the merchants not to harbor those who dared to do evil in the Great Meadow, and that if the merchant was found to be harboring the group, he would drive his caravan out of the forest camp.

As the commander of the Western Route Army, Surdak's demands and warnings were still very effective.

In the past few days, Surdak has also learned from the merchants that the meadow on the Great Meadow has actually been divided by a group of noble lords, and the cattle and sheep seen along the way are also the private property of some lords.

Therefore, Surdak recently took the time to meet with several large ranchers, and the main purpose of talking to them was to buy cattle and solve the food ration problem of 50,000 ghost tattooed soldier ants.

The bacon seized from the demons was only enough for the ghost-patterned soldiers to eat for a month.

The Western Route Army has been stationed in the forest camp for more than a month, and the bacon hoarded in the material warehouse has bottomed out, but the material supplies he applied for from the logistics department of the military department have still not been implemented.

Surdak had to contact the rancher in the meadow and buy a large number of cattle and sheep to ensure that the ants would not starve.

The forest camp was already deserted, and Surdak found a large cemetery on a hillside north of the forest camp.

He searched for a long time in this cemetery, but unfortunately he couldn't find the tombstone where the members of the second team were buried, and after visiting the entire cemetery, he left with a dark expression.

……

In the past month, the Wizard Scout Team has not only visited the Gandar Mountains, but also found out the hidden mountain roads in the Gandar Mountains.

There is a huge panoramic map in the command post of Surdak's camp, and the Kandar Mountains are very realistically restored, the rivers around the mountains are dyed with some blue spar powder, and the mountain roads are painted with some yellow spar powder, which is clear at a glance.

Selena has been managing the merit exchange list recently, and she needs to count merit every day, record the exchange of reward items, and so on.

Every night Selena would meet with Aphrodite, Samira, and Carry. Decker, and Naomi, everyone chatted around this beautiful sand table, at first these people were attracted by the sparkling spar powder on the sand table, looking at the realistic rivers and clear mountain paths, Selena would tell some of the things that Surdak had been in the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment.

These were all things Surdak had said during his time in the village of Wall, and every time he chatted with her after some kind of exercise in the evening.

Now that everyone is sitting in front of the sand table, many of Surdak's battles with the demon squad have become very clear.

As for the habits of that group of demon warriors, everyone gradually understood more deeply.

As the investigation work became more and more detailed, the mage reconnaissance team began to grasp the rules of the activities of the demon hunting group, although they did not dare to get too close to the activity area of the demon warriors, but this area was clearly marked on the sand table.

What Surdak didn't expect was that these women chatted together and really talked about something......

The reason is that there is a food crisis in the demon army on Moyun Ridge, not only that a group of demon warriors have run around the forest camp and plan to hunt down the scout team near the camp.

The mages also discovered that a large number of demon warriors would sneak around Mount Gandar and sneak into the northern region of the Great Meadow, where their area of activity gradually increased, and they continued to engage in skirmishes with the Adventure Party in order to find a little more food.

It was this message that allowed the attentive Selena to discover that the Sheep Intestine Canyon in the Gandar Ear Mountains had become the easiest way for the demon warriors to cross the Gandar Mountains during this time.

At first, the demon hunting group cautiously crossed the canyon, but there was no army stationed during this time.

Now the demon hunting group has become more unscrupulous, and almost the entire hunting group enters the great meadow from this canyon.

……

Although it was a bit unimaginable, the group of ranchers on the Great Meadow quickly accepted the fact that there was a special group of troops in the Western Route Army-the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ants.

These ranchers did not expect that Commander Surdak would actually spend money to buy a large number of cattle just to be able to fill the bellies of this group of ghost-tattooed soldiers.

These soldiers ate an astonishing amount of food, and Commander Surdak was also very generous, buying more than 100,000 cattle from seven ranches, and paying these ranchers a deposit of boxes of magic crystals.

In order to get the cattle to the forest camp as scheduled, the ranchers also sent a group of very capable herders to escort the herds.

Most of the herders here are indigenous to the local Bopostein tribe, which has now been divided into pieces by the aristocracy, and almost all of the Popostan natives work for the ranchers of the Great Meadows.

An old herdsman looked at the grass in the northern district, which was almost as high as a horse's belly, and his wrinkled forehead became more profound, and his old face, which had become bronzed after the wind and sun, was full of bitterness.

A group of young herders followed behind the old herdsmen, and in front of them, a herd of sturdy cattle almost leveled the pasture.

"The grass here stands so well......"

The young herdsman straddled the bare horse, pulled the reins with one hand, looked at the green sea in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

They chase water and grass on the big meadow and live there, where the water and grass are abundant, they will go there, but the northern part of the big meadow has been a forbidden area for several years.

"Do you know why grass grows so tall?" The old herdsman squinted his eyes and said coldly: "That's because there is a devil hidden here!" ”

His voice was a little dry, he licked his lips that had cracked his small mouth, looked at the group of young juniors behind him, and commanded:

"We need to get through here as soon as possible, and for the rest of the year, we won't stop except to let the cattle drink normally, and we will have to take turns to rest and get the cattle to the forest camp as fast as possible."

Hearing that the cattle were to be driven overnight, the young man began to complain:

"Doesn't it mean that as long as you reach the northern part of the Great Meadow, even if the cattle are killed by the evil spirits, the losses will be counted on the side of the forest camp? So why rush to the road? ”

The old herdsman's eyebrows were raised, and the whip in his hand was thrown hard at the young herdsman.

"Do you think those demons will only kill cattle if they appear?" The old herdsman foamed at the mouth and continued, "We are also food in their eyes." ”

Speaking of those pore-mongering devils, everyone's faces changed.

A young man cried in a trembling voice:

"I don't want to be eaten by those demons, I heard that even the soul of those who are eaten will be devoured......"

The old herdsman didn't look at the timid young man, looked at the forest camp from afar, and said very calmly: "The closer we are to the forest camp, the safer it will be, so we must pass this road as fast as possible." ”

"Got it, Uncle Hay." A group of young herders replied in unison.

However, just before dawn, the herdsmen ran into a demon hunting team.

Six evil spirits came up from the black meadow, and frightened the herdsmen to ride away from them.

The old herdsman shouted loudly in the herd: "Stay away from these devils, let them kill the cattle, we just need to gather the remaining cattle and drive them away, we ride horses, as long as we keep our distance, they will not be able to catch up with us, everyone pay attention to safety......"

"Got it, Uncle Hay." Some young people responded.

Some people simply run away.

Driven by the old herdsmen, the herd began to turn around.

The six demon hunters became even more brazen.

After slaughtering dozens of cattle in a row, the six demon hunters began to think...... How can the beef be transported back, after all, there are only six companions here, and although the demon warriors are infinitely powerful, one demon can only resist two oxen at most.

The rest of the prey still can't be taken away, and they need to call out to other evil spirits......

While the demons were thinking about these things, the frightened herd had begun to lose sight of them and run wildly towards the tree camp.
