Seeing a convoy of thirty wagons carrying his family towards the city of Handanar to the south, Earl Bradley mounted his horse, turned around with more than two hundred guards, and drove 1,200 high-quality horses north.

Many of the guards were wounded, and after last night's battle, the morale of the escort team was a little low.

In last night's battle, Earl Bradley and Tran killed six demon warriors in one go, and the remaining eight demons were killed by the guards, for which the guards suffered nearly 100 casualties.

In other words, the four hundred guards in the manor paid a huge price for killing eight demon warriors.

This is also the reason why the Earl of Bradley was a little disheartened and resolutely left the manor.

Pessimistically speaking, if there are more than thirty demon warriors in this time, it is estimated that it will not be their group of people who can stand in the manor and talk in the morning.

The meadow was vast, and the Earl of Bradley rode northward on horseback, with the guards behind following as best they could.

Their equestrian skills are not bad, but the Earl of Bradley's mount is a scaly horse, with good charging ability, spread his hooves and run out, and no one can catch up with him in a short time.

This area belongs to the southern part of the Great Meadow, so large herds of cattle and sheep can often be seen.

The farther north you go, the more lush the aquatic grass becomes, but because of the frequent ghosts in the past, many herders are reluctant to drive their cattle to the north.

Now the Neoloda Gorge has moved into the Great Meadow, and many herds of cattle are migrating from west to east.

The Earl of Bradley hadn't been out for a long time, and this time he rode out for a walk, and vented all the unhappiness that had accumulated in his heart last night.

……

In addition to more than 300 members of the escort team, there are dozens of herdsmen who specialize in driving horses, and more than 1,000 war horses, which are extremely eye-catching wherever they go.

Along the way, I also met large and small teams.

It is not uncommon to see a team of two horses with one horse and one carrying luggage on the meadows.

There are only about a dozen people in this kind of team, everyone is well-dressed in leather armor, and the weapons are even more varied, and this kind of team is almost all adventure groups and mercenary groups.

The Earl of Bradley walked north with his escort and saw a group of mercenaries.

Speaking of which, the biggest difference between the mercenary group and the adventure group is that the mercenary group relies on accepting employment and completing the tasks of the employers to earn compensation, while the adventure group goes to the wild to hunt demonic beasts and collect herbs, and they use the second as a means of livelihood.

This mercenary group had about fifty knights, each of whom wore hard leather armor, and these mercenary groups guarded a merchant group of dozens of carriages.

There were also three caravans in front, and the four-wheeled wagons of these three caravans together were almost dozens, and so many people went north together, mainly for the strength of the people, and it was safer to walk in the northern part of the Great Meadow, where evil spirits often haunted.

As Earl Bradley's team caught up from behind, the appearance of this team of nearly three hundred people immediately filled the caravan group with laughter.

Everyone felt that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and even if a small group of demon warriors appeared, they could not easily shake the current merchant group.

The mercenary group followed the caravan all the way, and when they saw a guard with a large number of horses appearing behind them, the head of the mercenary group would naturally come forward and run over to find out the truth.

Probably to avoid arousing the Earl Bradley's disgust, the leader of the mercenary group came over with three merchants with him.

The Earl of Bradley rode up on horseback, and the merchants saw the noble badge of the Earl of Bradley and immediately saluted the Earl of Bradley.

When they heard that Earl Bradley wanted to go to the woodyard camp and that he wanted to join the Western Route Army stationed there with his guards, the merchants immediately became enthusiastic.

Everyone got together and started talking.

The merchants had a good impression of Commander Surdak, presumably not being exploited in any way.

A merchant said to the Earl of Bradley:

"It's a really good idea to join the Western Route Army, I've been in the forest camp for a few years, and Lord Surdak is the most capable commander among these people."

Earl Bradley also knew that Surdak had received several good news in the past few months since he came to the woodyard camp.

The merchant was even more ashamed to say:

"The other commanders don't know about the demons of Moyunling at all, they value more about the merits they have, as well as the dark magic crystals."

When the Earl of Bradley saw that the merchant was bold, he immediately inquired of him:

"I heard that Surdak has issued some great perks to the party?"

The merchant nodded without hesitation at once, and then said:

"Of course, the Western Route Army is driving the lonely demons into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain on the side of Moyunling."

"Isolated demons are relatively weak in combat, and many adventuring groups have the ability to hunt these demons, and as long as they kill these demons, they can also bring back some loot from beginning to end."

"There are various buyers in the market here at the barracks station, and they can buy any unwanted Warcraft materials."

"The barracks of the Western Route Army also arrange healers to treat the injured members of the adventure group anytime and anywhere, and all kinds of supplies on this side of the camp are also very complete......

As he spoke, the merchant began to babble.

"If you want me to say...... Aren't these things that the risky union should have done well in advance? Now that the Western Route Army has made clear arrangements for the front-line positions, the Adventure Union should learn more from the Western Route Army. ”

The Earl of Bradley asked:

"I heard that there were also armies attacking Moyunling in the past, what is the specific situation?"

The merchant sneered and said loudly, "Most of those commanders who came here in the past were young officers who wanted to earn merit, and to earn merit, they had to think about killing evil spirits!" Everyone knows that there is a demon gate in the depths of Moyun Ridge, and they will send troops to Moyun Ridge......"

"But which one didn't run back in ashes?"

"The terrain of Moyunling is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the evil spirits are guarding it, so our army can't think of rushing up."

"Which legion has rushed in the past few years?"

Several businessmen said babblingly.

The Earl of Bradley listened attentively and knew the general situation.

Even the head of the mercenary group followed:

"Moyunling has been occupied by demons, and we want to take it back now, but it's not so easy to ......"

Then he talked about Commander Surdak, who did not seem to be in a hurry to capture Moyunling, and even built a walled city at the foot of Moyunling.

With the arrival of the Earl of Bradley, these caravans were still camped separately, but each caravan was almost close together.

At night, when it was completely dark, everyone began to eat dinner, and the dinner was very simple, roasting all kinds of dry food, and then the big iron pot was boiling some broth, and some wild vegetables were added to it, and anyone who wanted to drink could walk over and serve a bowl.

There were originally wolves in this large meadow, but since the appearance of evil spirits, wolves have become extremely rare.

The tent was a little stuffy, and Count Bradley, lying on the grass, did not go to talk to the merchants, but quietly thought about his thoughts in front of his tent.

……

Surdak returned to the woodyard camp with the giant soldier ants and the Constructed Knights, and the free market across from it was more lively than ever.

There were a lot of people gathered here in the forest camp, probably because the news of the victory of the Western Route Army was frequent, and the merchants came to bid for the spoils.

Of course, there are also many adventure groups and mercenary groups here, and before Surdak walked into the camp, he also saw many mercenary groups gathered outside the camp, looking at the soldiers in the barracks, their eyes were extremely eager.

There were at least two days to go from the forest farm camp to the battlefield in front of Moyun Ridge, and Surdak arrived at the forest farm camp and decided to take a proper rest here.

The hillside of the free market is now overcrowded, with tents stretching out to the meadows by the river.

Install the latest version. 】

Surdak didn't notice that there were some small lords stationed behind the hillside.

Almost all of these lords were nobles from the Great Meadow, and most of them gathered here after hearing the news of the successive victories of Surdak's Western Route Army, and then ran out of various towns.

A group of minor lords with their armies settled in the forest camp, mainly to wait for Surdak.

Now that Surdak had returned to the barracks with his army, the petty lords had sent letters of visit to the barracks.

At night, everyone would gather together and build a bonfire by the river.

"What do you know!" A young nobleman held a wine glass and said, "Now as long as you follow the Western Route Army, you can get a piece of the pie, who doesn't know that Moyunling has meat to eat?" ”

Another noble lord, who had only a baronial insignia on his chest, said with some unconfidence:

"I heard that the conditions for joining the Western Route Army are very high, so I came here to give it a try because I and other nobles in the town made up ten knights."

He was wearing an older demonic pattern, but the weapon in his hand was brand new.

Another noble lord said, "These brothers in our town just want to run over and kill the evil spirits, instead of being killed by the evil ghosts, it is better for our group of people to kill them directly......

"My herdsmen know the situation inside Moyunling,"

"I'm here to deliver the horses......"

There were more than a dozen nobles gathered in front of the bonfire here, and everyone was eating and chatting......

"Who doesn't want to kill evil ghosts, we have lived in the town all these years, and we are worried every day, for fear that one day the evil ghosts will rush into the town in one breath, and our town will no longer be there."

Someone said drunkenly and loudly, and the voice came far away.

……

Surdak didn't expect the Western Route Army to have such a high reputation on the side of the forest camp, and it actually began to attract many small lords with their armies to join in one after another......

It's not a lot, but it's a very encouraging thing for Surdak.

Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Western Route Army also desperately needs to inject fresh blood into it.

After the bloody battle, the giant soldier ants were probably covered in blood, and some thorns actually appeared on their already very thick hard carapace.

Now it looks like these spines are some kind of evolution of the giant soldier ants......

The knights of the Knights of the Legion rested in the barracks, and Andrew was in charge of the camp.

The two-headed ogre Gullitham and Surdak have dinner together at the command post......

Holding a leg of mutton in his hand, Gulitham said to Surdak:

"Boss, how about we build a magic airship here, when the time comes, let people stand on the magic airship and throw powder kegs down, and don't blow up the demon legion!"

Seeing the good brother on the side nodding his head again and again, Gullit looked confident......

"You think the demons can't restrain our air power?" Surdak asked casually.

Without waiting for Gullitham to answer, he said, "They are just not familiar with magicians yet, I heard that the demons have flying legions, but they are very few in number, and they are very afraid of bed crossbows. ”

The ogre brothers looked at each other......

Then Surdak said:

"In fact, the mage can only avoid the threat of evil spirits under the protection of the bed crossbow. And throwing powder kegs, in addition to throwing with magicians, I am actually more optimistic about those clumsy catapults. ”

It was late when Surdak returned to the woodfield camp with the Knights of Constructed, so the visitors didn't rush in that night.

By the next morning, Surdak had just gotten out of bed and received a stack of letters from the guards.

He flipped through a letter of visitation, and saw that the name on the back was 'Bartholomew. Viscount Allenby', Surdak glanced at it, and then asked the guards standing in the command post, "Bartholomew. Is Viscount Allenby here? ”

"Yes, Lord Commander, this Bartholomew. Viscount Allenby was waiting outside the barracks. The guard replied.

Surdak took the letter of visit in his hand and commanded, "Bartholomew. Come in with Viscount Allenby, I'll have to talk to him. ”

The guards walked out quickly......

Not long after, a young nobleman walked in with the guards, and he looked at the camp with some curiosity, his eyes naturally full of confidence.

Wait until Bartholomew. Viscount Allenby walked into the room, and Surdak put down the letter of visit in his hand and took the initiative to stand up to greet him.

Bartholomew. Viscount Allenby was also more excited, he saluted Surdak, and then said loudly: "Commander Surdak, Bartholomew. Allenby reports to you, I hope to take part in the war on Moyun Ridge under your men......"

Bartholomew. Viscount Allenby, have you fought in any other battles before? Surdak motioned for the young viscount to sit in front of him.

Bartholomew. Viscount Allenby was slightly stunned, and replied honestly: "No ......"

"So...... This is your first time participating in a Dimensional War? Surdak patted his forehead and said.

"That's ......"

Bartholomew. Viscount Allenby said with a little embarrassment.

In the face of such a blatant aristocrat who came over to make merit, Surdak really didn't know what to say for a while!
