1412. Post-war
After returning to the forest camp, Surdak sat in the command post and reviewed the entire battle.
In fact, for the first time in this campaign, Surdak was fighting on multiple fronts, and both the Ant Cavalry and the Constructed Knight were completely out of his control on the battlefield, but now it seemed that the two sides were working together quite well.
Although there were some minor problems that were not planned, all the problems were solved with the help of the Wizard Scout.
There are two main factors for the surprise attack of the Western Road Lords in the Yanggut Canyon this time:
The first point is that the ghost pattern soldiers and ants have contributed a lot, if there is no ghost pattern soldiers and ants who have crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains like walking on the ground, in this battle of the canyon, the lord army of Surdak will not have any geographical advantage.
The second point is that the Wizard Scout Group conducted a field survey and reproduced magical images throughout the Gandar Mountains, if it wasn't for the magicians who discovered the mountain path hidden in the mountains, if it weren't for the magicians who dropped nearly a hundred barrels of explosives when the Knights were in trouble, then this battle would probably turn into a different situation.
To Surdak's great emotion, the entire battle plan was Selena, Samira and Carry. Decker and several women sat in front of the sand table and chatted and gradually perfected.
After deciding on the battle plan, all Surdak needed to do was to send money and troops.
This time, he took out 140,000 gold coins to purchase 100,000 cattle and 50,000 sheep from the ranchers on the Great Meadow, nominally to purchase these cattle and sheep for rations for the ghost striped soldier ants.
But in fact, these cattle and sheep rushed to the northern area of the Great Meadow, but they were a bait thrown by the demon army on Moyun Ridge.
The herd of cattle and sheep lured the hungry demon warriors from Moyun Ridge, and then the lord army of Surdak sent ant cavalry to occupy the pass in the middle of the canyon, which was equivalent to jamming the neck of these demon hunting groups. Later, the Ant Legion led the heavy infantry on a long run through the mountains, surrounding the group of demons at the southern entrance to the canyon.
In fact, the heavy infantry regiment left behind in the forest camp has been constantly resisting the disturbance of the scout team sent by the Moyunling Demon Legion in the past few days.
The caravans of the merchants in the free market were also attacked by demon hunters during this time, and the unlucky ones also suffered a lot of losses.
Therefore, this victory belongs to the entire Western Road Lord Army.
If only the unidentified black magic crystals seized this time are counted, there are almost 8,000 pieces that have been handed over to Surdak at present, and according to the current market price, a black magic crystal is about 20 gold coins, that is, Surdak received 160,000 gold coins worth of loot, but this black magic crystal also needs to give the warriors nearly half of the value of merit rewards, and those prizes that can be exchanged on the merit list are also bought back by Surdak from the trading house with real money.
Therefore, after careful calculation, there are less than 4,000 unidentified black magic crystals that can really reach Surdak's hands, and they are worth about 80,000 gold coins.
Surdak spent 140,000 gold coins just to buy cattle and sheep from the rancher on the big meadow this time, and this is not counting the consumption of other materials, so this calculation alone makes Surdak lose 60,000 gold coins in this battle.
But in fact, did Surdak lose money? How can it be......
War is a lucrative business, and as long as you win, no matter how outrageous the cost, you will always get something in the end.
What Surdak earned this time was a large herd of cattle and sheep, and at least ninety percent of these cattle and sheep are still alive, and they will become the largest logistical support for Surdak's Western Route Army.
However, this time it was the soldiers of the Lord Army who followed Surdak on the expedition that directly benefited.
They brought back more than 4,000 black hides alone, as well as various weapons such as fist swords, war knives, and short flying spears used by the demon warriors, all of which were fortified with some magical black iron, so the price of the free market merchants was about twenty silver hammers each.
In addition to these gains, the most exciting thing for the Lord's Army warriors is the merits obtained, which can be exchanged for rewards at will on the exchange list.
Only the experienced veterans knew that the bottom line of the merit list indicated that 'merit can be exchanged for magic crystals and gold coins', but that was a helpless move made at the end of the war, when there was really nothing good to exchange.
And now, of course, it's a first-come, first-served basis, and the prizes on the merit list are all good things that Surdak took from the Malacomb merchants at the purchase price, and it is difficult to buy such quality items at this price in the market.
The infantry warriors returned to the camp and didn't even sell their captured hides and weapons to the merchants, but ran to the logistics office of the camp to redeem the rewards of their choice.
Wait until they get a sophisticated magic weapon from the warehouse......
The most outrageous thing is that a captain named Nelius in the Constructed Knights directly handed over one hundred and twenty-seven unidentified black magic crystals this time, so he obtained 127,000 merit points, and instantly reached the top of the merit list.
What's even more outrageous is the business acumen of the captain of Nelius, he directly rented this set of magic pattern construction to a first-turn warrior, and relied on his connections in the construction knights to turn this first-turn warrior into a construction knight, the conditions are also very simple, any damage to the magic pattern structure, this warrior needs to pay out of his own pocket to repair it, and half of any rewards received on the battlefield will go to Captain Nelius......
Well, to be reasonable, Surdak's Constructed Knights have indeed grown stronger because of this, and the benefits have also been obtained by Captain Nelius, and as for the one-turn warrior, he has fulfilled his life's dream of becoming a contract Constructed Knight.
After the news spread in the forest camp this incident, it also caused a lot of controversy, and the officers in the regiment had mixed opinions about it.
Andrew, as the top boss, called Captain Nelius over and scolded him severely.
There are also some officers who feel that it is understandable for Nelius to do this, after all, he earned it back with his own life, and how he wants to use that magic pattern structure is completely his freedom, and no one stipulates that the magic pattern structure that can be exchanged can only be used by himself.
And those lords and commanders who have always had a negative attitude towards the merit list in the forest camp will inevitably suffer from the complaints of their subordinates this time.
Although there are some things that I don't say to my face, I am pointed at and criticized behind my back......
That kind of taste is only known to the person concerned, and it is really a kind of sadness that cannot be said.
The soldiers of the Surdak Lord's Army have long been accustomed to selling the spoils to the accompanying merchant groups, but this time the Surdak Lord's Army entered the Warsaw plane, and the accompanying merchant groups belonging to the Surdak Lord's Army have not followed in time, so the soldiers of this part of the booty are not used to selling......
