The three hundred bed crossbows on the cliff have almost become a nightmare for the demon army, Surdak bought 50,000 arrows of dual-attribute magic crossbow arrows from the imperial capital this time, and this battle in the valley used four-wheeled trucks to transport two hundred giant crossbow arrows, and the bed crossbows tilted to the bottom of the cliff are all giant crossbow arrows with 'sharp' and 'penetrating' dual magic attributes.

Fireballs exploded into smoke and fire in the night sky, and the valley was as bright as day except for the places shrouded in the fog of war.

Crossbow arrows poured down from the cliffs, and the demon warriors in the valley were so crowded that the bed crossbowmen didn't need to aim at all, as long as the auxiliaries carrying the crossbow arrows could run faster, and the controller twisted the winch with all his strength to pull the strings of the bed crossbow.

Bolts that shimmer with magic keep the spirits in the valley.

The giant soldier ants pushed forward, and although the fangs of the soldier ants could cut through the demon warriors, they were too clumsy after all.

Even in the fog of war, it acts as a meat shield.

The hoplite regiment behind followed, stabbing out the spears in their hands, and the demon warriors who had fallen into the fog fell one by one.

The battle in the valley was fierce, and the demon army organized an effective counterattack at the beginning, but as the fog of war continued to erode, the last bit of demon warriors' will to fight collapsed, and the evil spirits in the entire halfway valley were in a great rout.

Countless demon warriors poured towards the northern exit of the valley, causing a large number of evil spirits to be crowded at the mouth of the valley to the north.

Even if there are more than 1,000 people stampede, as long as you fall down in the crowd of demons and are trampled under the feet of other demons, don't think about getting up.

The Western Route Army's catapults arrived belatedly, and were re-erected at the southern entrance to the valley just as the demon legions were almost about to leave the valley.

Several demon generals also wanted to organize a group of demon warriors to carry out a round of counterattack in the northern valley mouth, but as the night sky crossed a rain of meteors, giant crossbow arrows continued to fall from the cliff, and the fog of war had not yet reached the northern valley mouth, and the demon warriors guarding this side had already suffered nearly half of the casualties.

And the fog of war at night is like a giant harvester, constantly devouring those demon warriors......

……

It only took one night for the Western Route Army to occupy the valley halfway up the mountain at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, and Surdak had the giant soldiers and heavy infantry regiments hold the northern exit of the valley, while building a wooden wall at the north exit overnight and transporting the bed crossbows from the cliffs to the north exit.

This is the gateway to Moyunling, and Surdak plans to build a wooden wall out of giant logs, and then build a stone wall at least forty meters high with rocks outside the wooden wall to defend against the evil spirits on the Moyunling Heights.

This time, it was able to take the valley halfway up the mountainside in the south of Moyun Mountains, and the Western Route Army relied entirely on the fog of war of the Goddess of the Night, except for surprise......

Once the high-level leaders of the Demon Legion on the Moyunling Heights react, they will inevitably recapture the valley halfway up the mountain.

The location here is too important, and the occupation of this place by the Western Route Army means that the army can freely enter the Moyunling Heights, which will pose a huge threat to the demon legions on the highlands, so the demons will not let Surdak build a pass anyway.

That's why Surdak just ended this battle, when the hoplite soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, the infantry regiment soldiers behind came to the north exit of the valley and began to cut wood and build a wooden wall.

Finally, at dawn, a wisp of doppelganger descended from the goddess of the night also floated away from Selena's body.

Selena collapsed on top of the giant soldier ant's head, but fortunately, Surdak had been by Selena's side at this time, knowing that she had a lot of mental energy, so he poured her a bottle of mental power potion, and then carried her down, and asked Nika to carry Selena to the back with the members of the medical team.

What she needs most now is plenty of rest......

Nika wandered around the valley for a while, only to find that there were very few wounded warriors on the battlefield in the valley, and the corpses of demon warriors were everywhere.

There were also some giant ghost-patterned soldier ants who had also died on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Heavy Infantry Regiment were quickly cleaning up the battlefield, and Surdak was also busy removing the limbs and legs of the full life demon pattern from the dead giant soldier ants.

The place where the battle was more tragic was the slope and dense forest on the back of the cliff on the east side.

There were a lot of wounded knights and ant cavalry over there, and the battle over there was fierce, and it seems that many people died in the ant cavalry regiment.

It was the first time that the Aboriginal Warriors had participated in such a large-scale battle, but they had been protecting the catapults all night, and it just so happened that there were not many demons stationed on the high posts here, and the Aboriginal Warriors had few casualties.

The two tribal elders even thought that they had been taken extra care of Surdak, and that after the war, they were still complaining to Surdak that they should be given some difficult tasks to their native warriors, and that these young indigenous warriors needed more tempering.

Surdak didn't explain anything, just smiled and nodded and agreed, next time!

The battle of the valley was a great victory, and the harvest of the Western Route Army almost earned back all the expenses of Surdak's large-scale purchase of armaments and materials, but due to the relatively large amount of materials purchased by Surdak, this victory only allowed Surdak to balance its payments.

Next, Surdak also wants to build a pass in the northern part of the valley to block the counterattack of the demon legions in the Moyunling Highlands.

Building a strong pass requires a huge investment.

Now that the entire Moyunling Plateau has been completely opened to the Western Route Army, the defeated demon legions are all over the mountains, and the Western Route Army did not take this opportunity to send the Constructed Knights to pursue the victory.

Waited at the foot of the mountain for a while. When the night party heard the news of the victory, a large number of the adventurers came from the side of the barracks, and dozens of the leaders of the adventure group petitioned Surdak to enter the Moyun Ridge Heights through the valley and continue to pursue the demon warriors in the rout.

Of course, Surdak will not stop them from doing so, but at present, the entire valley is under the control of the Western Route Army, and it is impossible for anyone else to enter except for the soldiers of the Western Route Army.

It will take at least half a day to clean up the battlefield here, and there are still a lot of bed crossbows and catapults to transport to the north exit.

In order to be able to effectively manage these adventure groups from running around on the battlefield or even stealing things, Surdak specially opened a passage for these adventure groups.

And let the Xilujin Logistics Department set up a toll station at the entrance to the southern end of the valley, and all adventurous groups that want to enter Moyunling must pay a construction fee here, which is collected in units of heads, and if you want to enter Moyunling, you need to pay a gold coin per person......

The high fee also made all the adventure groups staggered, and everyone even secretly scolded Surdak for being a vampire bat in their hearts.

However, at this time, the demon army had just experienced an unprecedented rout, as long as they could run to the Moyunling Heights, it was almost a search for those injured demons......

This kind of opportunity may not be encountered several times in a lifetime, and those powerful and wealthy adventure groups learned of this news, paid this fee without hesitation, and passed through the valley halfway up the mountain as soon as they obtained the pass.

Chasing out from the north exit of the valley, I saw a large number of fleeing demon warriors on the slopes on both sides of the mountain roads in front of me......

……

After a day's cleaning of the battlefield here, the heads of all the demon warriors have been put into storage, and the exploits of each warrior have been recorded.

With hundreds of crossbows on the cliff being dragged to the north exit, all the knights of the Constructed Knights became scrappy after a morning of rest......

Andrew rode his horse to the north exit of the valley and saw Carrie. Decker and Samira were here, one of them was responsible for the construction of the wall, and the other was responsible for the temporary placement of the bed crossbow, which needed the most basic fortifications for a short time.

At least not for the demon warriors to destroy these precious bed crossbows as soon as they rush up.

The bed crossbow is a great killer weapon to resist the attack of the demons, and it is now arranged at the north exit, with the giant soldiers and heavy infantry soldiers, in order to resist the counterattack of the demons in the next period of time.

Samira is surveying the terrain here.

Andrew hurried over and asked Samira:

"Where's the chief?"

The half-elf archer's expression was a little flat, and there was no joy of victory in her eyes, and she said to Andrew very calmly:

"I didn't say where I went, but I should be able to show up in a while."

Andrew jumped off his horse, handed the reins to the warrior next to him, and then asked Samira:

"Has the command post decided on a plan of action for the pursuit?"

At this time, Carrie, who was talking to an officer. Decker turned his head and replied with a smile:

"Put it on hold for now."

"Not chasing?" Andrew touched his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes with an incomprehensible look.

Jiali. Decker nodded, 'um':

"At present, the mage reconnaissance team has begun to enter the Moyunling Heights to explore the terrain and the number and distribution of the demon army here......"

Andrew was a little angry, and he couldn't hide the battle intent in his eyes at all, and it seemed that he wanted to find Surdak to theorize.

Jiali. Decker immediately leaned over, put one hand on Andrew's shoulder, and whispered to him:

"I advise you to be honest for the time being, the boss's mood has been a little wrong recently, and he always thinks about things alone with a straight face......"

"Really?" Andrew hesitated, thought for a while, and asked with a confused face: "What is he usually like?" ”

Jiali. Decker glanced at Samira with a smirk, and then said, "Every day is very busy, and when I am done, I will stay with Selena and Aphrodite, oh, and now I have to add Samira......"

“…… Hey, I didn't say anything. "Samira to Jiali. Decker protested coldly.

Jiali. Decker said without hesitation: "Well, that's not a bad thing. ”

The three corps commanders gathered together and chatted in a low voice, and the surrounding officers did not dare to lean over at all, standing around and quietly watching this side.

……

Surdak sat on the edge of a mountain in the western part of the valley, where he could find no trace of the past.

He remembered that day he had dumped the oil and set the cart full of corpses on fire, and now he just wanted to find the pile of ashes, even a little bone.

But the rock face here was already covered with knee-high thatch, and there were some thorny vines and wild flowers, moss, and so on.

He felt that all the ashes had melted into the grass and trees, and there was almost no special place on the cliff a few hundred meters here, and the position in his memory had been slightly off, and there was no harvest for the whole afternoon.

Selena stood quietly on the sidelines, without any inquiry or relief.

The golden sunset set a golden rim on her, and she just silently followed behind the man walking back and forth on the grass.

Not far away, on the grass, Signa was riding a small horse, playing very happily.

Nika wasn't here, she was busy after every battle, and today was no exception.

Originally, at this time, Surdak should also be in the treatment tent, but this time he was a little confused, so he simply took Selena out for a walk.

He found the battlefield in his memory, but he didn't expect the fire to burn so thoroughly that he couldn't find even half of the bones.

In the grass, he finally saw a glimmer of metal, he pushed aside the grass, saw a few rusty armor pieces hidden in the dirt, took a shovel from his magic belt and dug it down, and saw a rusty blade that was barely visible, the spearhead that was left after the rotting wooden handle was covered with patina, and even two wheel frames that were almost rotten and not completely burned out.

Several of the bones are incomplete.

Surdak thought it was right to be here.

He lifted the turf with a shovel and began to dig.

Selena was also silently helping beside her, and when she saw some white bones, she bent down to pick them out, she could see that Surdak was in a bad mood at the moment, and her eyes were full of nostalgia for the past.

Thinking that this must be the burial of someone he cared about very much, he took out a picnic cloth that he had brought but did not use, and placed all the bones on it, including the scrap metal.

Selena was not very afraid of those human bones, and even used her hands to clean the dirt on the bones.

He didn't stop until Surdak dug a big hole here and couldn't find anything else of value.

The coffin was not prepared, it had rotted to this extent, and many bones had even been taken away by the little beasts, and they had become incomplete.

Surdak rewrapped everything in Selena's cloth, and put it into the pit he had dug, and covered it with earth, and even made a round mound of earth, and pressed a rock on top of it.

After building such a tomb, Surdak actually took out a tombstone from his magic waist bag, which had been prepared a long time ago, and even had many names engraved on it:

Sidney, Bearded Cagle, Augustus, Craigie, Billy, Duck Jr......

After setting up the stele, Surdak sat down in front of the stele, his eyes slightly moist.

At this time, Signa also quieted down, led the pony to Surdak's side, took his big hand, and took the initiative to sit there on his knees.

Selena also sat down on her knees, and Surdak put her arm around Selena's soft shoulders and sat in front of the tombstone for a long time.

Then he took the mother and daughter to the edge of the cliff not far away, looking down from here, there was no bottom, the cliff was covered with dense bushes, and his voice was a little sad:

"I jumped from here, grabbed some branches in the process, and landed on the branches below, so I escaped from here......"

"I first fled to the forest camp, and when I found it in ruins, I immediately went into the big meadow."

"There I met Hathaway and the wounded Beatrice, and Darcy. Christie, but at the beginning, Darcy. Christie and her sisters left alone, and I took Hathaway and Beatrice, and John, whom I had met in Epson, and we ran south together, all the way to Handanale City. ”

"There I got a pass to the portal, and when I finished my military service, I saved up a sum of money and left the plane......"
