As the news that the Western Route Army had opened the gates of Moyunling reached the city of Handanaer, the people were still immersed in the joy of recovering Kornberg County, and the people were boiling again.

People here don't care about Kornberg, after all, it's a provincial thing, but no one doesn't care about being in Moyunling, which belongs to the northern gate of Handanar County.

The evil ghost on the Moyunling Heights has always been like a fish bone in his throat, and Duke Newman has tried many ways, but unfortunately he has not been able to pull out this fish bone.

Now the Western Route Army has pushed open the south gate of Moyunling......

The noble lords of Handanar City began to have some new ideas at this time, and they were more eager than ever to send their lord army to the battlefield of Moyunling.

Of course, the commander cannot be any of them.

What they hoped most was that Surdak would be able to requisition their lord's army in full, and the olive branch was handed over, but there was no response from the Western Route Army.

The noble lords of the city were not fools, and of course they knew that this was the army that the commander, Count Surdak, did not look down on them.

But looking at such a large piece of cake there, and not running over to cut off a piece and put it on their plates, there is always a little bit of empty nag in the hearts of the lords.

The table was full of delicate cutlery, the champagne had been opened, and the guests were seated, but the chef failed to serve the main course, and instead of serving it, he distributed the delicious and delicate main course to the homeless people outside the restaurant.

That's right, now the nobles in Handanar City feel like this.

It's a shame to not be able to eat it, and now to see the food fall into the hands of beggars and homeless people on the roadside, it's simply a humiliation for Chiguoguo.

……

The first to make money on the Moyunling side were really those adventure groups who dared to break into Moyunling.

After the Western Route Army entered the valley, it did not move, and one of the things that Surdak invested most heavily in was to build a wall at the northern exit of the valley, first a wooden wall, and then a stone wall with rocks.

The actual width of the northern exit of the valley is only more than two hundred meters, and the standard funnel shape, flanked by steep cliffs, is closely connected to the mountains at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, these steep mountains are covered with a lot of vegetation, and there is almost no way for the demon legions to get out of the Moyun Ridge from outside the valley.

This valley halfway up the mountain is more like the only gourd mouth at the southern end of the Moyunling Heights, and for the demon legions on the Moyun Ridge, it is a hundred times more important than the mountain pass at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains.

However, such a strategic place was easily captured by the Western Route Army in one night......

Surdak knew that the next step would inevitably attract a swift counterattack from the demon legion, and he didn't even think about letting the heavy infantry regiment enter the Moyunling Heights, lest the demons counterattack on a large scale, and the infantry regiment did not retreat fast enough, and was surrounded and killed by those demon legions who counterattacked one by one.

It took only three days to build the wooden wall, which was ten meters high and three meters wide and connected to the mountains on either side.

The main thing is that there are enough infantry in the Western Route Army, and they are heavy infantry when they pick up swords and shields, and they are extremely high-quality labor when they put down swords and shields.

As long as someone takes the lead, the tasks are clearly assigned, and things are done very quickly.

Although there were some twists and turns in the construction of the stone wall, the main reason was that the supply of pozzolane cement in Surdak was insufficient, which caused the entire project to be halted for nearly two days.

There is a special cement factory in the village of Wall, and Surdak specially asked Aphrodite to return to the village of Wall for this purpose.

With the pozzolana cement, there was no longer any difficulty in building this wall, and even the stones on the periphery of the wall were packed into iron cages before they were stacked together.

The iron cage is almost also placed with a layer of stones and a layer of cement, and each iron cage is two meters square, which looks like an ordinary animal cage.

The interior of the wall was built more haphazardly, as long as the gap between the two rows of iron cages was filled with stones.

The stones did not need to be sanded and flattened, no matter what shape they were, and they filled the gaps between the stones with pozzolane cement.

In fact, it only took half a month for this stone wall to be built, and with the cooperation of 130,000 infantry soldiers, it was quickly erected.

Everyone, including the soldiers of the Western Route Army, the demon hunters of the adventure map, and the merchants of the merchant group, saw such an efficient project for the first time, and there were more people than stones on the entire construction site......

By the time the demon legion on the heights of Moyunling reacted, Surdak had already set up three hundred bed crossbows on a forty-meter-high stone wall.

The wooden wall behind the stone wall was not abandoned, and almost all the catapults of the Western Route Army pushed onto the wooden wall, from which they threw flint from the forty-meter-high stone wall, which was just enough to fly out.

The latest merit list of the Western Route Army was directly posted on the city wall this time......

A big battle has just ended, and the warriors have accumulated a lot of merit in their hands, but at this time, there are few people who are willing to exchange merit, because everyone once again focuses on the top ten rewards on the merit list.

……

As we all know, the biggest hidden danger in the northern part of Handanar County is the demon legion on Moyun Ridge.

It is said that this group of evil spirits opened a door to evil spirits on the high ground of this Moyun Ridge.

In the past few years, the Bednar Legion once wanted to capture Moyunling and destroy the Gate of Demons, but unfortunately the legions that went out on the expedition were defeated one after another, and Duke Newman has not been able to do so.

This time, the Bednar Army regained Kornberg, and Duke Newman originally only hoped that the Western Route Army could hold the Gandaear Mountains and prevent the Demon Legion on the Moyun Ridge in the north from taking advantage of the weakness, but he didn't think that the Western Route Army not only completed the garrison task excellently, but also helped the Eastern Route Army intercept a advancing Demon Army.

Not only that, but after the Bednar army captured Kornberg County, the Western Route Army took advantage of the situation to open the gate to the southern part of the Moyun Mountains in one fell swoop.

Looking at the map of Handanar County, Duke Newman couldn't get out of his thoughts for a long time.

He has been in the Warsaw plane for eight years, and he is familiar with every battlefield here.

Thinking of the letters that Luthor had written to himself before, he had thought that the praise he had given to Surdak was nothing more than a boast, but who would have thought that he was telling the truth......

Behind Duke Newman stood several staff officers in the war room.

By this time, they had come to their senses from the shock, and immediately someone said:

"It seems that the few pieces of epic equipment that I gave to Count Surdak last time were really not in vain, this Count Surdak really brought us an unexpected surprise."

Someone else simply stepped forward and pointed to the map on the wall and suggested, "Lord Duke, since we have taken all of Kornberg, I think it is better to return to the northern part of Handanar County and defeat Moyunling." ”

The staff officers behind also nodded again and again, and echoed:

"Then we will open the passage to the north of the Warsaw plane......"

"Now of the seven counties in the Warsaw plane, only two counties are still under the control of the demons, but our Bena Legion is basically a swordsman regiment, no matter what, there are no cavalry alliance knights who run fast, we will not occupy the best quality resources if we rush over now, it is better to go back and fight Moyunling."

There were also staff officers who held negative opinions, and everyone argued endlessly in the room.

"It's impossible for the Bednar Legion to retreat to Handanaar right now, Kornberg County still needs our legion to garrison, and we can only move on to the next place when those lord armies arrive."

Duke Newman was distraught by the quarrel of this group of people, who had little ability in strategic deployment, but when preparing for a big war, they were able to fill in the gaps and come up with some good ideas.

At least in the capture of Kornberg, there was still some bright performance.

So Duke Newman just listened quietly and did not speak.

At this time, the guard outside the door walked in and reported to the Duke of Newman:

"Lord Duke, the messenger of the Knight Alliance has arrived......"

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Duke Newman came out in public and commanded the guards:

"Invite them in......"

Then he said to the staff officers around him:

"Next, we need to clean up all the demon legions in the Kempato River Valley, this strategy was discussed by me and several other dukes before this, so there will be no change in the plan."

He turned to the herald beside him and said:

"Let the logistics side prepare some armaments and supplies, and I'll go and see the people of the Knight Alliance."

"Yes, Lord Duke."

Now that Kornbergshire is in his hands, Duke Newman knows that he has made the right bet this time, and the past few years in Warsaw have not been in vain.

This kind of rich plane, even in the entire territory of the Grimm Empire, will not exceed ten.

The Bussman family once became one of the top three lords of the Grimm Empire by virtue of the abundance of the Warsaw plane.

But Ryan. Bussman made enemies everywhere in the empire, and the Bussman family's ranking among the nobles fell from the top three to outside the top ten in just a few decades.

Now that Ryan is dead, the Bussmanns have all but abandoned the Warsaw plane, leaving the Bussmanns with a narrower and narrower path......

I really don't know about that young Quentin. How will Duke Bussman reverse this dilemma?

But that's not what Duke Newman needs to consider.

He now needs to focus on how to divide the big cake of the Warsaw plane, the county of Handanar and Kornberg alone covers an area the size of two Bednar provinces, Kornberg County is extremely rich in mineral resources, and Handanaar County has large pastures and woodlands, and is surrounded by large mountain ranges.

According to the advice of his staff officers, as long as the Bena Legion can hold these two counties, it can now move north, take advantage of the Western Route Army to open the gate of Lemoyunling, advance into Moyunling, and also divide that land into the territory of Bena Province.

However, in this way, the interests of the Western Route Army and Count Surdak will be greatly reduced.

It is even unpleasant to say, that is, the Western Route Army opened the gate of Lemo Yunling, and the Bena Army ran to pick fruits......

This was the biggest reason why Duke Newman rejected the offer of his staff.

Of course, the Marquis of Luther is not excluded from this, after all, the Luther Legion has always been stationed in the province of Bena.

Provincial rebellions have always been the responsibility of the Marquis of Luthor......

'Count Surdak, the stage is for you, you can't let me down!' ’

Duke Newman thought in his heart.

……

The Western Route Army had already moved the garrison camp to the valley halfway up the Moyun Mountains, and Surdak had been waiting here for nearly half a month, and he had not seen any letterhead from Duke Newman.

The demon army that had been driven out of the valley by Surdak had regrouped in the last half a month.

Now hidden in a col outside the northern exit of the valley, the Wizard Scout has found out their location, and there are almost 30,000 demon warriors gathered together.

Of course, so far, the issue of rations has been severely constraining the size of the demon legions.

The Moyunling Heights were originally relatively barren, and now the demons are eager to dig out the grass roots here and fill them in their stomachs.

The Demon Hunting Group has not been able to obtain food supplies along the Gandar Ear Mountains for several months, and the northern mountains of Moyun Ridge are inhabited by indigenous tribes.

In the past, the demons were able to drive the group of indigenous warriors back to their fortified cities, and then hunt in the mountains.

But now there is little prey in the northern mountains, unless the natives are captured and eaten, but this is not realistic at the moment.

It is not so easy for the demon hunting group to cross the northern mountains and hunt in the wild mountains further north......

Therefore, the demon army on Moyun Ridge has been starving recently.

Surdak estimates that in recent months, there should not be too many demon warriors entering Moyunling through the Demon Gate, and the reason is that the logistics supply of the Demon Legion is insufficient.

In fact, Surdak is most concerned about the attitude of Duke Newman, after all, so many noble lords are staring at the big cake in Surdak's hand......

"There has been no reaction from the Buna Legion, and the noble lords in Handanaar have not been able to intervene." Andrew explained to Wolf Knight Tiger in a low voice, and then added: "It seems that Duke Newman is not a bad person......"

Jiali. Decker sat across from Andrew, holding a quill pen and writing on a piece of parchment.

She stopped the pen in her hand and blurted out, "Maybe Duke Newman has taken into account the thoughts of Marquis Luthor." ”

"Anyway, it looks like Duke Newman is planning to hand over the Moyunling Heights to us." Andrew said in high spirits: "Boss, just let me ......"

Surdak hurriedly waved his hand, signaling Andrew not to continue painting his flatbread.

He hoped that more adventure groups would gather here and nibble away at the demon legions on Moyun Ridge little by little.

It is better to use the strength of those adventure groups to weaken the demon army on the opposite side little by little, than those useless lord armies in the city.

Not only are there no disputes over territorial ownership, but the witchers in the adventuring group will not be stupid enough to fill the bellies of those demons......

"Continue to increase the benefits for the adventuring group and attract more adventuring parties to come and help us."

Surdak pinched the corners of his sour eyes and said with some tiredness.
