1461. On the eve of the Battle of the Valley 2

Surdak stood on a high vantage point and looked out over the valley halfway up the mountainside, and on the pass at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, you could see the demon guards roaming the edge of the valley.

This is the largest battle since the Western Route Army entered the Warsaw plane, Surdak will invest nearly 200,000 troops in this battle of the valley, and the Bednar army in the hands of the Duke of Newman is only 400,000, and the Bednar army has captured Kornberg County, and the Duke of Newman can be said to have almost recovered the seven-year investment in one fell swoop.

War is like this, the victors will enjoy not only flowers and applause, but also good wine and food.

Although the cake has not yet been divided, Surdak knows that this cake will definitely have its own piece.

And what is now accumulated in his heart, what has been haunting his heart, every time he dreams of seeing the cemetery where countless comrades-in-arms are buried, it is on the edge of the cliff of the valley in front of him.

Nearly all of the soldiers of the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment died here, and Surdak knew that he was finally qualified to go up and see them.

Handanar County seems to have no worries at the moment, so he has been quietly preparing for this battle for the past few months.

Almost all the black magic crystals and black veined demon skins captured from the battlefield of Warsaw, including the magical beast materials and magic herbs obtained from the aborigines, were almost all exchanged for armaments by Surdak, and a large number of magic weapons almost armed the heavy infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army to the teeth, and even the giant soldier ants were covered with a layer of hard armor.

Malacomb purchased hundreds of boxes of arrows for magic crossbows from the Imperial Capital Magic Workshop, which was also the last time when the demon army counterattacked the mountain pass at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, Samira actually commanded the bed crossbow control hand to shoot out all the dual-attribute magic crossbows from beginning to end.

Surdak walked back to the wall of the southern foothill pass, and climbed to a high arrow tower where he stood, and he stood beside a bed crossbow.

Looking over the wooden wall, the two hundred bed crossbows that had been installed on the base of the wooden wall were now being dismantled by a group of infantry soldiers and hoisted down the wall by an earthen crane made of three masts.

These bed crossbows will also be incorporated into the offensive sequence of the Western Route Army, in addition, the forty-seven bed crossbows on the arrow tower of the barracks will also be dismantled one after another.

A hundred catapults were lined up on the south side of the wooden wall, and a group of mechanics were putting the finishing touches on them, and almost all the places that needed to be oiled, whether it was the axles or the casters of the catapults, were greased.

When attacking the valley, these ant cavalry will quickly occupy the front entrance of the valley with the bed crossbows, and the catapults will be pushed up the ridge on the left side of the valley, as long as they occupy the high ground on the left side of the valley and push the catapult to it, the flint projected by the catapult will cover the entire valley.

This time, in order to attack the Moyunling Valley, Surdak prepared 300 bed crossbows and 200 catapults, and at present, the catapults are ready, and only 300 bed crossbows are left, and it will take half a day to disassemble and debug.

The ant cavalry was also responsible for the transportation of these catapults and bed crossbows, ammunition, and crossbow arrows.

Surdak had amassed nearly 2,500 ant cavalry, which he organized into five ant cavalry regiments.

In addition to this, Naomi also prepared a death squad of sixty abominations for Surdak, which Naomi has been working on for almost three months.

Of course, Naomi's ability to stitch up so many Abominations is inseparable from Surdak's full support, at least in terms of the materials such as corpses and sutures, Surdak didn't let Naomi prepare it herself, she only needed to stitch together the corpses of the demon warriors, and then give them soul fire.

The dense forest next to the barracks is inhabited by nearly 70,000 ghost pattern soldier ants, and the rations required by these ghost pattern soldiers and ants have almost crushed the logistics office of the Bena military department.

It was the occupation of Kornberg County by the Bednar Legion that allowed the logistics department to continuously supply sufficient food to the various lords' armies.

These ghost-patterned soldiers lived in the burrows dug in the dense forest, and Surdak organized these soldiers into forty ghost-patterned soldier ant groups according to the current number of druids in the Western Route Army, five of which were giant soldiers.

Naomi's Abomination Death Squad is hiding in this dense forest, which is the only forbidden place for the Western Route Army. District.

Because there are a large number of ghost pattern soldier ants, no one dares to come here at all.

Nearly 100,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers are currently stationed in the wooden city at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, and these infantry form sixty-five heavy armored infantry regiments, and these sixty-five heavy armored infantry regiments currently have thirty-one descendant troops belonging to the Surdak Lord Army, and the rest are the miscellaneous armies joined by other lords, but after more than half a year of adjustment and training, these miscellaneous armies have also adapted to the battlefield here.

In addition, the aboriginal tribes in the northern mountains of Moyun Ridge sent nearly 30,000 aboriginal warriors, and these aboriginal warriors were organized into twenty indigenous regiments by Surdak.

In addition to this, Surdak has two Constructed Knights......

This is almost all the belongings of the Western Route Army, and a group of troops gathered at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.

On the eve of the war, these troops had to consume a lot of supplies every day, and all the soldiers left a letter to their families, and only after their deaths were confirmed, this letter would be sent home by the logistics department of the Western Route Army, along with the pensions and all the belongings of the soldiers.

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the barracks has been relatively heavy, and it feels like all the soldiers have talked less, and there has even been a large-scale exchange of merits.

This time, the main rewards exchanged by the soldiers were almost all gold coins and magic crystals, but fortunately, Surdak had prepared before this, so that the logistics department did not have an embarrassing scene where they could not exchange gold coins.

Probably seeing the frequent mobilization of troops by the Western Route Army, and feeling the tension in the army, the surrounding adventure groups and mercenary groups also returned to the camp one after another, and no longer ran out easily.

The medical team on the side of the Western Route Army also began to reduce their external healing work, and extremely rare healing potions frequently appeared on the merit exchange list, and these healing potions could only be exchanged once per soldier.

Of course, it was impossible for Surdak to come up with 100,000 bottles of healing potions for a while, and there were only more than 1,000 bottles of healing potions that he threw out one after another, almost all of which appeared on the exchange merit list, and they were snatched away in an instant.

Of course, almost all of the people who can have this strength are members of the Constructed Knights.

By the time the news reached the ears of the members of the party outside, the healing potions had already been redeemed.

In the current magic market, healing potions are still extremely scarce commodities, so when they heard the news that nearly a thousand bottles of healing potions suddenly appeared on the merit exchange list of the Western Route Army, the members of this group of adventurers still lamented that they couldn't get the news sooner.

The magic pattern structures that have appeared one after another on the merit exchange list have all been exchanged in the past few days, but I didn't expect that in the barracks, in addition to second-turn powerhouses like Andrew and Samira, there were still people who had saved up enough merit points for 100,000.

Seeing that one set after another of the Demon Pattern Structures were exchanged, there were even people who tried to exchange the enhanced Demon Patterns ranked behind the Demon Pattern Structures.

Surdak did not write that these rewards were 'Life Patterns', but directly explained the actual role of these Magic Patterns in the remarks column of the exchange list, and in the eyes of the soldiers of the Western Route Army, this was also a kind of Magic Pattern Construction, but it was engraved on himself.

Many first-turn warriors think that their bodies can't condense the power of the elements before they break through the second turn, so they can't use this kind of magic pattern construction, so no one has been able to redeem it.

With the big war just around the corner, a group of Constructed Knights wondered how the most cost-effective enhanced Life Pattern on the merit list could go unattended......

Almost all of the two Constructed Knights of Surdak have enhanced magic patterns, so they no longer need to implant magic patterns before the second turn, but although they don't need them, they revealed the news to those ant cavalry, suggesting that if they have enough merit points before obtaining the magic pattern construction, they might as well exchange them for enhanced magic patterns.

So Surdak was busy almost day and night during this time.

I heard that the Western Route Army was brewing a big battle, and the adventure group all withdrew from Moyunling in the past few days, finally allowing Moyunling to usher in the tranquility on the eve of a major war.

In the dense forest, on the hills, and on the edge of the cliffs, there are no longer scenes of demon hunters and evil spirits fighting.

The demons in the opposite valley also seem to be aware of it, and the patrol team is constantly increasing.

……

Klaus. Radner was a heavy infantry soldier and squad leader in the 32nd Regiment of the Western Route Army.

Now he was sitting in front of the tent, counting the gold coins he had just exchanged, and he stacked them on top of ten pieces for every ten pieces, and there were three stacks in front of him.

He was originally a member of the rebel army of the Gamp plane, and when Surdak entered the Gampo plane to organize an army to resist Lord McDonnell, he joined the lord army of Surdak, and the hoplite regiment he belonged to has been fighting with Surdak for the past two years.

And every time he received a merit, he would exchange it for gold coins and mail it to the family members of the Ganbu plane.

He bought a house in Mukuso and brought his mother and three younger siblings to settle in Mucuso, none of them currently have much earning power, and they rely on Klaus almost for their usual living expenses. Radner.

Klaus. Radner sat on a wooden pier, put the gold coins in his purse, and said to Ebenezer, the best friend of the team, "I have almost saved up my money, and when the war on the Warsaw plane is over, I will go back to Mucuso, and maybe use it to start a small business and marry a wife." ”

Ebenezer replied with a smile: "Even if you marry three, you don't know how many women in Mukuso have lost their families because of the war, and those women are waiting for us to go back and marry them." ”

"My sister wrote me a letter saying that there are almost all trading houses in Mukuso City now, and it is very easy to find something to do in the city, as long as you are not lazy!" Klaus. Radner said with a smile.

"I wish I could go back soon!"

"By the way, what are you going to do when you go back?"

"Take a wife, have a baby, and go back to the infantry regiment until you can't run, you know...... I don't know anything but war. Ebenezer said with a casual wave of his hand.

"I joined the rebel army in the hope of having a piece of land of my own so that my family could live a good life, but I didn't expect that these things were finally achieved by joining the lord's army, which is a bit ironic!" Klaus. Radner sighed.

"This attack on the garrison of the Demon Legion, I heard that the Bena Legion tried it once five years ago, and that battle failed, and many people were buried on this Moyun Ridge!"

"I hope it will go well this time......"

"We are the Surdak Lord Legion, did we drive out the Hell Demon Clan on the Gampoo Plane?" Klaus. Radner asked aloud, with some excitement.

"It's us!" Someone around them replied loudly.

"Did we capture the Three Rivers Plain and the Dark Worm Valley?"

"It's us!" The answer was louder.

"Did we kill the demon warriors in the Sheep Intestine Canyon?"

"Of course, it's us!" A lot of fighters were roaring loudly.

The morale of this heavy infantry regiment skyrocketed in an instant......

For a while, there was also a singing voice unique to the dry cloth plane in the barracks.

……

A lot of people are looking forward to the battle of the valley.

However, only a few officers, including Surdak, knew how important this valley was to the Demon Legion halfway up the Moyun Ridge.

Recently, after the magician reconnaissance team continued to enter the mist-shrouded Moyun Ridge to investigate, the terrain of the mountain range at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains has almost been completely understood.

Speaking of which, although the mountain pass at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains is the only entrance to the Moyun Ridge in the southern part of the mountain, it is not the most important thing for the demon army.

And this valley halfway up the mountain is a must-defend place for the demon army.

Because as long as the valley halfway up the Moyunling Heights is occupied, even if the door to enter the Moyunling Heights is completely opened, the Western Route Army wants to enter the Moyunling Heights, and the Demon Legion is almost impossible to stop it.

Therefore, the valley less than two kilometers long in the middle of the Moyunling is the southern gate of the Moyunling Mountains.

After nightfall, the ant cavalry regiment would pull bed crossbows and catapults into the woods on the northern slope, so at four o'clock in the afternoon, the ant cavalry had eaten their last dinner before the battle and began to prepare for the battle.

Andrew looked a little excited, trying to persuade the wolf knight Tiger Tiger, the supreme commander of the ant cavalry regiment, to temporarily switch places with him.

Andrew is the Grand Master of the two Constructed Knights, but this time the Constructed Knights are not the first to attack the Valley.

In order of attacking from the front, Naomi's Abomination Death Squad was destined to be the first to rush forward, followed by the Giant Soldier Ant Regiment and the Heavy Infantry Regiment, and the Aboriginal Warband and the Constructed Knights were tasked with guarding both sides of the valley to prevent the demon warriors from breaking through the bed crossbows and catapults.

However, Andrew's proposal was unsurprisingly rejected by Tygo, the wolf knight Tygo regarded the battlefield as a place of glory, and it was impossible to switch places with Andrew in this kind of matter.

Andrew had no choice but to run to the arrow tower to consult with Surdak.

From a distance, I saw Surdak standing alone on the arrow tower, his expression was a little serious, and his eyes were looking at the valley halfway up the Moyun Ridge......

And Samira and Selena, Nika, Carrie. Decker and the others were waiting under the arrow tower, and no one went up at this time.

Andrew hesitated for a moment, and also stopped......

Happy New Year's Day
