Dozens of wall lamps were lit in the hall of the command post, and the atmosphere was a bit noisy.

Emir. Captain Mason stood beside Surdak with some embarrassment.

He saw all the generals of the Western Route Army.

At this time, these generals of the Western Route Army did not know that there was a big problem with the defense line of the Eastern Route Army, and everyone gathered in the hall of the command post, thinking that Surdak was going to hold a celebration ball.

Indeed, in the previous nearly two months, the Western Route Army stationed at the foot of Moyunling Mountain almost perfectly suppressed the demon army in the mountain.

The battle situation here has attracted countless adventure groups to hunt here.

The hall was crowded with nearly 100 infantry regiment commanders, and no one deliberately lowered their voices......

It wasn't until Surdak tapped the demon shield with the scabbard of the Light Iron that there was a 'bang' sound in the hall, and the commanders of the various legions and infantry regiments quickly fell silent, and everyone focused on Surdak's body.

Surdak stood on the high platform and said to the group of generals in front of him with a serious face: "Everyone, now we have received some information about the defense line of the Eastern Route Army, and the battle situation there is not very optimistic, so I decided to take the knights of the legion into the Great Meadow tonight, hoping to intercept their vanguard before the demon legion enters Handanar City." ”

There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone didn't expect that there would be a problem on the side of the Eastern Route Army.

The Demon Legion does not actually need to go through the Great Meadow to get to the city of Handanar from the fortress of Naroda, but can reach the city of Handanar by walking east along the Brunin River to the south of the Great Meadow.

Therefore, according to Surdak's vision, to intercept the vanguard of the Demon Legion, it means that Surdak and the Knights must cross the entire Great Meadow.

At this time, everyone saw Andrew and Tiger Tiger, who were fully armed, striding in, and knew that the Knights were ready.

Surdak was no longer verbose, and said directly:

"During my absence, the camp side will continue to maintain the status quo, and usually let the magicians continue to suppress the demon legions on Moyun Ridge, take out all the powder keg reserves, and throw all of them to the mountain pass on the opposite Moyun Ridge for me in the next half month."

"The infantry regiment should avoid large-scale battles as much as possible, and once the demons on the opposite side are not honest, they must be ruthless and beat them back......"

"Hold the camp here as long as you can until we come back, the stockade that we have taken so long to build, I don't want to come back and see a scorched earth."

"If the Demon Legion sends a large number of Demon Warriors to counterattack, we must immediately withdraw to the Forest Camp with Samira, Selena, and Garry. Decker, the three of you have decision-making authority over the Western Route Army, and all corps commanders and infantry regiments are subject to their management. ”

"Do you understand?"

Surdak's deep voice echoed through the halls of the command post, and the oppressive atmosphere made one's breath short.

Emir. Captain Mason looked at the overly young commander of the Western Route Army, and finally understood why Marquis Luthor would push him to the position of commander of the Western Route Army.

Speaking of which, when I first heard the news, Edmond . The Marquis of Arnold was still a little angry.

This was due to the disparity in the status of the commanders of the Eastern and Western Routes in the province of Bena, and if the commander of the Western Route Army was the Marquis of Luthor, then Edmond. The Marquis of Arnold would not say anything, but who would have thought that the military department would let an unknown earl be the commander of the Western Route Army, although I heard that this young commander was also a plane lord, but such a nobody, it was Edmond. The Marquis of Arnold invisibly demoted his coffee position.

When the eastern and western reinforcements assembled in the city of Bena, Edmund . The Marquis of Arnold also used a little means to occupy all the constructed knights of the reinforcements.

Although this was the unanimous decision of the great lords behind the Constructed Knights, and it was difficult for the military department to say anything, Edmund . The Marquis of Arnold did a little less glamorous, at least for the rest of the year, when the Marquis of Luthor refused to have Edmond. The ball attended by the Marquis of Arnold.

The two marquis never met in the period before the expedition.

So much so that Surdak and Edmund. The relationship between the Marquis of Arnold and the two was also very rusty.

Now Emir. Captain Mason stood in the hall of the command post of the Western Route Army, inevitably a little embarrassed.

Surdak turned to Samira and Selena and said, "If the situation on this side deteriorates rapidly, then evacuate decisively, but before evacuating, be sure to inform the caravans and adventure groups here in advance, so that they also have some time to prepare." ”

What else could Selena say, at this time she could only nod her head and agree:

"Got it."

Surdak set his eyes on Samira, the half-elven archer who wanted to go into battle with Surdak with him, and there was some reluctance in his eyes......

But Surdak looked at her earnestly, until the half-elf archer lowered his head and whispered:

"Don't worry, I'll be optimistic about this battlefield."

Surdak nodded with satisfaction and said to the three of them:

"Be careful, too."

"Hmm!"

The three replied.

Jiali. Decker thought that Surdak would also have some separate words to explain to her, but he didn't expect Surdak to turn around and stride out of the command post with Andrew and Tygo.

'It's really different if I slept ......'

The heavy gunman whispered to himself and followed Samira on his long legs.

At night, the barracks gates were closed.

Outside the command post, it was crowded with knights in gear preparing to go on the march, all of them calming their horses, so it was quiet even though it was crowded.

The Ant Cavalry group lived on the side of the Ant Den, a separate place outside the camp.

Surdak walked in a hurry, and did not wait for 1,500 ant cavalry to assemble here, so he set off overnight with 1,000 constructed knights and 1,500 ant cavalry......

After these soldiers ate the corpses of a large number of demons, a considerable number of them evolved into giant soldier ants.

Surdak hadn't paid much attention to it these days, and originally thought that there were only a few hundred giant soldier ants, so he ordered Andrew to bring them along.

Now when I came to the front of the cave where the ghost soldiers and ants lived, I found that in addition to the fifteen hundred ant cavalry, this place was densely packed with giant soldier ants.

After asking Druyin, who was about to set off with the army, Surdak knew that the number of these mutated giant soldier ants was two thousand three hundred and forty-seven, which was much larger than the size of the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry.

The main reason is that the giant soldier ants are too big.

If an adult is about the size of a Gubolai horse, the giant Ghost Ant looks like an adult male rhinoceros.

A week ago, there were only a few hundred giant soldier ants......

"How can there be so many?" Surdak rode his horse and asked Druyin, who was standing on the head of a giant soldier ant.

The Druyin hurriedly saluted Surdak, for these Druyin, Surdak was their lord, and the Netherworld Worm Valley, where their tribe and people now lived, was still nominally Surdak's private territory.

After that war, Surdak had fulfilled all his promises, and the natives of the southern tribes were now fully autonomous in the Dark Worm Valley.

This was something that none of the tribal elders had ever thought of.

Before this expedition, the elders of the tribe made a special statement to the young Druyin: 'Take this group of soldiers into the battlefield, no matter who the legion commander is, and obey the orders of Lord Surdak alone......

Drew Yin Lanni immediately stepped up and replied, "After the last battle, nearly a thousand soldiers and ants have gone into a dormant state in the burrows, and they have just re-metamorphosed in the past few days. ”

"Secondary hatching?" Surdak asked.

Lenny shook his head stubbornly and corrected: "Lord Lord, this is a metamorphosis, which is equivalent to the soldiers completing a molt!" ”

Surdak couldn't figure out how the soldier ants molted......

"Let's go, all the giant soldier ants will come with me this time......"

In the darkness of the night, there was a violent tremor on the entire hillside, and the black-pressed team quickly rushed down the hillside, all the way south along the forest road leading to the forest camp in Moyun Ridge.

At dawn, the team had already passed through the forest camp.

The team did not rest at the forest camp, but plunged directly into the meadow.

Emir. Captain Mason followed Surdak's mixed army for a while. At night, I found that although most of the horses ridden by these knights were Gubolian war horses, these war horses were actually stable in terms of physical strength and endurance.

Even if he came to ask for help, the green-scaled horse had a lot of physical exertion when he arrived at the camp of the Western Route Army, and his physical strength could not recover when he set off again.

But after all, he is perfectly suppressed in terms of bloodline, he rides scaly horses, and these constructed knights are ordinary war horses......

Now Emir. Captain Mason realized that these Gubolai war horses were not ordinary at all.

But the most so Emir. Captain Mason was still surprised by the ant cavalry, these unique cavalry seemed to have no characteristics in themselves, and were completely the way of the soldiers of the hoplite infantry regiment, wearing dark and heavily armored armor, all like tin cans.

But they crotch. These soldiers are simply a bunch of monsters.

One. Running wild at night, their physical strength is still abundant, they don't even eat or drink, they don't need to rest, and they don't need to consider all kinds of complex terrain, even if there are cliffs, steep slopes, and hills, for these ant cavalry they still rush over in a flat way.

Watching them climb the steep fault zone more than twenty meters high, Emile. Captain Mason was almost speechless in astonishment.

In this way, it means that this group of ant cavalry is not limited by the terrain of the valley, especially in mountain warfare.

I heard a long time ago that the Bednar Legion had suffered a big loss on the battlefield on this side of Moyun Ridge, and it was a very difficult bone to gnaw.

Emir. Captain Mason originally thought that the Eastern Route Army would be stationed in Moyunling, and the Western Route Army would be stationed in the Naroda Fortress west of Handanar County, but after the order was issued, he found that Duke Newman's combat deployment was completely opposite......

Now it seems that the Surdak Lord, who has ant cavalry, is really suitable to garrison Moyunling.

What happened next made the emir even more. Captain Mason was a little confused, and he noticed that the group of ghost-striped soldiers had just passed by a herd of cattle when they were marching on the Great Meadow.

It is believed that the cattle were the private property of the local rancher and were protected by the lord's decree.

Unexpectedly, with a wave of Surdak's big hand, these four thousand soldiers and ants swarmed up and gnawed the cattle clean.

The herdsmen seemed to be relieved and rode away very happily.

……

"This may be the last meal before the war, let them be fed! Out of the northern area of the Great Meadow, I don't know if the material supply can keep up, it's best to meet the vanguard of a demon first, so that the food supply of the soldier ants can be supplied! ”

Surdak said to Andrew, who was lying on the grass, resting with his eyes squinted.

All horses need to eat grass and drink water.

When the sun came out and the dew dissipated, Surdak asked the Constructed Knights to stop and recuperate.

I happened to meet a herd of cattle that I had purchased during the Battle of Sheep Intestine Canyon......

When the cattle were first purchased, Surdak agreed with the rancher that before the cattle were slaughtered, the herders of the ranch would need to graze for Surdak free of charge.

The herders had been stranded in the pasture for nearly two months, discussing when they would be able to deliver the cattle, when they saw a swarm of ghost-patterned soldier ants emerging from the edge of the meadow, and nearly 2,000 cattle were killed by the soldiers.

Surdak galloped on the Great Meadow with the Knights of Constructed Order. At night, on the morning of January 14, we finally arrived on the banks of the Bouruin River.

This is also the emir. Captain Mason followed the Knights of Surdak on his third day.

The silhouette of Handanar could be seen from afar, and Surdak had heard from the herdsmen in the vicinity that the vanguard of the Demon Legion had not yet appeared on the banks of the Boruin River.

This means that the Legion of Demons did not raid the city of Handanar......

Moreover, Surdak's cavalry rushed all the way from the Great Meadow, and failed to encounter the vanguard of the Demon Legion, which means that this Demon Legion did not choose to go north.

The Knights of Formation rested by the Bruin River, and Surdak once again took out the map and asked the Emir. Captain Mason asks for details.

Basil, the magician who had been following Surdak's side, finally flew back from the west on the magic handle at this time, and he controlled the magic handle to land next to Surdak, and after jumping off the magic handle, he didn't even have time to drink, so he hurriedly pointed his finger on the map.

The place where he pointed was the lower reaches of the Brruin River, which according to Surdak's estimation was about fifty kilometers away.

"Here! They rushed here and were stopped by a Constructed Knighthood, maybe two, and there was still a fight when I returned! ”

Basil gasped.
