1428. Gunpowder
At the foot of the mountain on the east side of Moyun Ridge.
Surdak climbed a cliff and watched the magic light explode in the night sky to the south, and a hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
Finally contacting the mage reconnaissance team, Surdak could even clearly feel several demon generals speeding through the dense forest, constantly approaching his hiding place, and the valley reverberated with the low roar of evil spirits.
A straight line appeared in the woods, and the demon general slammed the trees in his way and struck them straight towards Surdak.
Samira crouched on the edge of the cliff, her bow in her hand, and watched vigilantly at the dense forest below the valley.
The combat power of these demon generals should not be underestimated, every time they catch up, they will make Surdak and Samira very embarrassed, and yesterday morning there were three demon generals chasing Surdak and Samira across the three mountain ridges.
The three magicians rode to the canyon on the magic handlebar, and Surdak stood on the top of the cliff and once again released a magic flare into the sky.
Guided by the magic flares, the mages rode their handlebars and swooped down towards the cliff where Surdak was located, and with the faint flares falling from the sky, the demon general closest to Surdak and Samira was at the bottom of the cliff beneath their feet, and the demon general had already begun to climb the rock wall.
They noticed the sight of mages in the night sky, scurrying upwards like mountain apes, leaping several meters high with each jump.
However, the three magicians did not stop in the sky at all, and they did not slow down their flight speed when they flew to the top of the cliff, but stretched out their hands to beckon Surdak and Samira to jump directly on the magic handle.
Samira was nimble, wearing tight leather armor and standing on the edge of the cliff and leaped forward, the magician just flew in front of her, and Samira straddled the back seat of the magic handle.
The magic rod paused slightly, and the magic pattern circle of the floating device suddenly lit up with three magic patterns, and the magician lifted the rudder up, and the powerful magic booster pushed the two of them to the night sky.
In order to lose weight properly, Surdak failed to wear his Yinsenhard Magic Pattern Structure, only wore a salamander tight leather armor, followed Samira, and jumped towards the second magician who flew over......
When he sat firmly on the back seat of the magic handle, the demon general below the cliff almost jumped to the top of the cliff in one step.
It saw Surdak jump on top of the magic handle, a powerful double. Stepping on the rock wall with his legs, his body was like a tense spring, and he jumped up and grabbed at the magician who was rising into the air.
Surdak pressed his hand on the hilt of his broadsword at his waist, and when he waited for the demon general to approach, he slammed his sword down.
Samira, who had already flown into the night sky, let the magician carrying her slide an arc in the sky, and in the next second, she sat on the magic handle and pulled the heavenly bow sideways, and the magician who was operating the magic handle in front of her heard a crisp sound of gems shattering, and then only felt that countless arcs of electricity around her were sucked into the tip of the feather arrow.
An arrow filled with electric light and a powerful electric mana shot towards the demon general who jumped up below.
The arc-filled arrow lost a white line in the night sky, and the moment the arrow missed the demon general, a bucket-thick lightning bolt cracked down in the night sky, just hitting the demon general who jumped up from the cliff.
A dark shield of light appeared on the demon general's body to block the lightning, and finally failed to leave Surdak who was too late, it let out an unwilling roar in midair, and then the momentum of its body was exhausted, and it fell to the bottom of the cliff at a depth of 100 meters. Fall.
At the same time, the Void Gate that lit up right next to Surdak suddenly became disillusioned, and Aphrodite, who was in a rented house in the city of Highlandsa, canceled the summoning circle.
The two magicians flew into the night sky with Surdak and Samira, escorted by a magician, and circled the eastern side of Moyun Ridge......
After flying all night, as soon as it was dawn, the two magicians began to slow down and manipulate the magic rod into a dense forest.
The magicians set up a tent in the glade, and the two magicians who had been flying Surdak and Samira all night just said hello to Surdak and hurried into the tent to meditate and restore their mana.
The magician who had a bye was in good shape, he set up a small pot in front of the tent, and he didn't cook anything, he boiled some hot water and made a small pot of coffee, and offered to pour Surdak and Samira a cup each.
Samira walked out of the camp with her coffee cup and her bow on her back, she needed to survey her surroundings.
Surdak sat down across from the young magician and chatted with him.
The magician's personality was quite cheerful, and he smiled and said to Surdak:
"Commander Surdak, the three of us have been flying in the northern mountains of Moyunling for nearly two weeks, and if we can't find you again tonight, we will return to the camp, and the magicians who searched in the northwest area of Moyunling will come here to replace us."
Surdak took a sip of bitter coffee that was a little hot, and said to the magician: "When I designed this plan, I didn't expect that Moyunling would be so big, just the northern mountainous area of Moyunling stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and if you want to find us in such a large area, it is not easy to contact us even with magic flares......
The magician smiled and said nothing.
"Wizard Basil, how's the battle going on that side of the camp?" Surdak remembered the magician's name.
The magician Basil said: "The demons don't seem to want us to block the mountain pass at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, they are fighting almost every day, their offensive is very strong, and there are many of them, and the casualties every day in the recent period have been very large, before we came out, the group of soldiers and ants was less than 30,000 left, and the heavy infantry regiment of the lord army also suffered heavy casualties, fortunately, we buried the powder keg on the hillside in front of the garrison camp in advance, and several times the evil spirits sneaked up and were blown back." ”
Surdak nodded, he had expected it.
Since the Bednar Legion is going to capture Kornberg, it is strange that the Demon Legion on the side of Moyunling is not in a hurry.
"Did the Legion of Demons attempt to sneak through Mount Gandar from the Mountains?" Surdak asked him.
"We only came out once, but after being beaten back by Captain Andrew with the ant cavalry and the Knights of Formation, we didn't dare to come out again." When the Basil Wizard said Andrew, his tone was full of admiration.
It seems that many of the magicians in the Scout group admire Andrew very much, and appreciate his desperate and rigid fighting style.
"What's going on over there in Handanaar?" Surdak didn't ask for details of the battle, but asked about the situation on the other side of Handanar City.
The Wizard Scout Group can be said to be the most well-informed group of people in the entire camp, after all, the status of the magicians is here, and they naturally have access to some secrets in the legion.
Basil the Magician continued: "It is said that the Bena Legion has crossed the Moss River and begun to enter the area of the Seven Islands Bay north of Kornbergshire, where the fighting is also fierce, but the heavy cavalry regiments of the Cavalry Alliance have rushed from Epson County into Basa Musa County, and are advancing south along the banks of the Kempato River, and now the demon legions in each county are almost on their own. ”
Surdak listened to Basil's story as he pulled out a map of Handanaar County to see where the Bednar Legion was currently located.
Although the Bednar legion crossed the Moss, it was not as fast as they could be seen from the map.
In order to share the cake, the cavalry alliance pointed its sword at Barsa Musa County, so that the pressure on the battlefield of the Bena Legion was not ordinarily great.
"Did the military department say when the follow-up reinforcements will come?" Surdak asked again.
Basil shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, there is no news about it in the recent intelligence......
He was silent for a moment, drank the last sip of coffee in his cup, and then said, "But the number of catapults and bed crossbows sent from the city of Handanar has increased to three hundred, and now half of the bed crossbows are on the wall of the Moyunling camp. ”
Surdak knew in his heart that this time Duke Newman had taken out all his family resources.
What made him faintly worried was that the ghost pattern soldier ants were consumed a little fast, although they had been planned before coming here, these soldier ants would be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and now Surdak was thinking that once the soldier ants were consumed, the heavy armored infantry regiment of the Western Route Army would need to go up.
After a day's rest, in the evening, Surdak and Samira set out again.
The flight speed of the magic bursa is not much slower than that of the magic airship, and the only drawback is that it costs a bit of a magician......
The three mages took turns flying at night, and they hid in the jungle at the foot of the mountain during the day to rest, meditate to recover their mana, and then quietly rose into the air at night, and they went out of the night for ten consecutive days.
Back at the foot of the southern foothills of the Moyun Mountains, Surdak went out for nearly two months this time.
……
The wooden fence in front of the barracks was already in tatters, and the soldiers erected three rows of giant logs here, and a layer of planks was nailed to the top of the giant logs, turning them into real wooden walls.
Bed crossbows lined up on the wooden wall, and behind the bed crossbows were stacks of giant crossbow arrows, but these were ordinary crossbow arrows, and almost all of the giant crossbows with the magic pattern circle were destroyed in battle.
In front of the camp tent, an earthen platform was erected, where dense catapults were placed, and the flint not far away seemed to be very well prepared.
The shouts of killing came from the battlefield in front of them, but the camp was very quiet, and the infantry soldiers who were on rest had finished eating in the cafeteria, and they had to stand in front of the merit exchange list for a while to discuss the rewards on the merit list that had not yet been redeemed.
Recently, many magic weapons on the merit list have been exchanged, and the prizes on the list have not been updated this month, and some infantry soldiers want to exchange for some selected magic weapons as soon as possible.
A low-lying valley below the hillside north of the garrison camp was originally sparsely wooded, but had been cut down by the soldiers two months earlier, and now the valley had become a battlefield, and a group of heavy infantry armed with tower shields followed a row of ghostly soldiers, slowly approaching the camp of the group of demon warriors in front.
The Tower Shield Warriors were followed by a group of spear warriors holding Paglio's spears.
The phalanx of archers in the back was formed temporarily, and although the lord army of Surdak had archers, they did not follow the expedition to Moyunling this time, because the temporary teleportation circle could not pass through the armed thunder rhinoceros.
The battlefield was already a scorched earth, and the stumps of some demons and soldiers were still left in the scorched earth, but the infantrymen who were wounded or killed in battle would be carried back to the camp by the soldiers of the logistics department, and the dead infantrymen would be burned to ashes and put in the jar that night, and the wounded infantrymen would be sent to the medical team.
In this battle, the ant cavalry and the knights in the camp did not move.
The row of bed crossbows on the camp wall could not reach this battlefield, only the catapult at the gate of the camp could throw flint onto this battlefield after adjusting the throwing distance.
Every day, demons are stoned to death by flints, and by now, these demons have judged the range of the catapults, and they didn't rush up because they didn't want the flint rain to hit them.
They were waiting for the soldiers to approach slowly, and only if they were entangled with the soldiers at the first time, the catapults on the other side of the camp would not throw flints.
If it's Karrie. Decker is in command, and at this time, the army of soldiers and ants will definitely not reach the front of the battlefield, and she will be very patient to wait for the demons to take the initiative to rush up, experience a wave of flint rain, and start a brutal melee.
But today's commander is Andrew, and with the wolf knight Tiger and the two-headed ogre Gullitum by his side, Andrew is ready to give the demons some color this time......
With the increasing number of evil ghosts gathered at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, the usual war of attrition can no longer suppress the increase in the number of evil ghosts, and the numerical advantage of the evil ghosts will become more and more obvious, so Andrew thought about fighting a big battle on the battlefield.
When the soldiers reached the center of the battlefield, the demon warriors strode forward.
The phalanx of archers in the rear shot a rain of arrows, and more than a dozen magicians in the sky took turns dropping barrels of explosives......
Due to the presence of mages and explosive barrels, the demon camp was bombarded by mages almost every day, so much so that the group of demons had to disperse and hide in the dense forest at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.
The next moment, the soldier ants and the demon warrior collided together, and countless soldiers were cracked by the demon blade and their limbs were broken.
A group of spear warriors take the opportunity to fart from the soldiers. Emerging from behind, he stabbed the demons with sharp Pagorio spears, and then the shield warriors went up, and the swordsmen behind him cut off the heads of the demons.
The battle was fierce, the ants in front were strangled by the demons, and under the orders of the herald, the hoplite soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Naturally, the demon warriors refused to let this group of heavily armored infantry out of battle easily, and the magicians who retreated behind the formation unleashed walls of fire on the battlefield.
A group of unwilling demon warriors fought their bodies to be ignited by the flames and break through the wall of fire.
As the infantry soldiers continued to retreat, the powder kegs planted on the battlefield were detonated again, and the smoke and dust that rose into the sky and the flying dirt engulfed the demons in an instant......
