Standing on the nearly sixty-five-meter-tall arrow tower, Elder Ambrobi could see the rolling hills to the north.

Although this is a valley halfway up the mountain at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, it is also the southern gate of the Moyun Mountains, and further north is a piece of overlapping peaks, and the mountain road leading to the Moyun Ridge Heights is dense like a spider web.

As long as you get out of the Dak Valley and want to enter the Moyunling Heights, there are at least hundreds of passages......

Although such a tall and magnificent city wall was built at the north exit of the valley, in order to resist evil spirits, the city wall was even raised twice, but some traces of purple blood can still be seen on some of the ground at the foot of the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Elder Ambrobie couldn't help but feel a bloody battle in his heart, and he didn't know how many demon warriors had died here to cause this scene in front of him.

Elder Domini, who was standing on the side, looked at Elder Ambrobi with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, he was full of worries about this cooperation between the tribe and the Western Route Army.

However, the opposition is still a minority among the elders

So this time, Elder Domini wanted to convince Elder Ambrobee to stay away from this group of cunning Grimm Empire people.

"Are they trustworthy?" Elder Domini's face was filled with a melancholy expression, and his face was a little loose and full of wrinkles.

If someone treats him as a terminally ill old man, it would be a big mistake, for a big witch like him, he has long broken free from the shackles of life.

Elder Ambrobi turned his head to look at Elder Domini, and said with a determined gaze:

"Even for the 100,000 sets of heavy armor and weapons, it's worth the gamble."

"Moreover, this is the best chance we have in all these years to restore the glory of the Egrod clan, for so long we have been waiting for prophecies one after another, but unfortunately those prophecies have never appeared......"

"And our heritage is also being lost little by little, our tribe has even been forgotten by the whole world, over the years I have repeatedly thought about how to make the Egrod clan rise, and now I have figured it out, instead of waiting for the hero who can take us out of the predicament year after year, it is better for us to try to find a way on our own."

"Our tribal warriors are so heroic, our tribe has a large population, and if we want the tribe to grow and develop, we have to go out from here, so what else do we dare not break into?"

There was a frenzy in Elder Ambrody's eyes.

Elder Domini also knew that this was probably the voice of most elders, especially when it came to fighting these demons.

In the past few years, the demons on Moyunling have infinitely compressed the infinite amount they rely on for survival, driven many tribes out of Moyunling, and even forcibly occupied the area in the northern mountains of Moyunling.

If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Legion had always been held back in the south, I'm afraid that the Demon Legion on Moyun Ridge would have conquered their walled city a few years ago.

It is only in the last six months that the living conditions of the tribe have improved.

"That'...... We're going to recruit another 100,000 soldiers and send them here? Elder Domini said with a frown.

With so many tribal warriors traveling long distances, the supplies that need to be prepared are a lot of expenses, and they have to recruit warriors and prepare rations for long journeys, which can even drag down some small tribes.

Elder Ambrobie waved his hand and said:

"No, we will leave 100,000 tribal warriors in the north."

Elder Domini's drooping eyelids lifted suddenly, revealing a pair of amber eyes, and asked suspiciously:

"Stay in the North? Will the Surdak lords agree to us doing this? ”

"Of course, he will......"

Elder Ambrobie squinted his eyes and said.

……

Elder Ambrobie felt that everything in the barracks was fine, from the tents to the carriages, from the large iron pots in the dining hall to the shower heads on the bath walls.

After a day of fighting, the soldiers returned to the barracks, where they could drink a sip of hot soup and take a hot bath if they had spare energy, which was much more enjoyable than that of the tribal warriors.

As for those marching rations, which are even rarer, each small bag is a standard day's ration, and the wheat cakes, dried meat, and oil tea in them are almost all rare and delicious.

At this moment, Elder Ambrobee was sitting in Surdak's command post, with a marching ration in front of him, and he first ate a crispy wheat cake, and then gave up his intention to taste the jerky, picked up a cup of oil tea brewed with hot water, and took a sip like porridge.

This kind of oil tea is fried wheat flour mixed with some butter and salt, and the soldiers in the barracks smell this taste, and their appetite is immediately halved......

However, in the eyes of Elder Ambrobie, this marching ration was a good thing.

Surdak was still a little hesitant about Elder Ambrobie's request, every mountain pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he wanted to take the northern pass of Moyun Ridge from the demon army, Surdak didn't know how many aboriginal warriors' lives needed to be filled in before he could defeat it.

He said with some hesitation:

"If you hit it from the north, you might kill a lot of people."

Elder Ambrobie said,

"If the equipment and weapons can be delivered to the tribe as scheduled, I am sure that I will take the North Mountain Pass of Moyunling in one fell swoop in two months."

Surdak walked to the front of the sand table and picked up a piece of wood and placed it across a mountain pass in the sand table.

In this way, the entire Moyun Ridge will be completely sealed.

"That's fine, if we can block the exit to the north as well, then we can teach this demon army a lesson behind closed doors." Surdak said.

He felt that such a flanking attack from the north and south might put more pressure on the demon than from one direction.

"Not only will the weapons and equipment be delivered as scheduled, but when the time comes, the Ant Cavalry Regiment of the Western Route Army and the Constructed Knight Regiment will also go to the Moyunling North Pass to help in the battle, and we can wrap the demon legion in the North Mountain Pass in the mountains, and capture the North Mountain Pass in one fell swoop."

Thinking of the aftermath of the war, Surdak said:

"When the time comes, I will bring the craftsmen of the Western Route Army over and help you build a city wall in the North Mountain Pass."

"In this way, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge will be completely unable to get out."

Hearing Surdak's readily agree, Elder Ambrobi felt a little unreal, and he asked suspiciously:

"What benefits do you get from helping us like this?"

Surdak drew a circle with his finger over the entire area of Moyunling in the sand table and said:

"This territory is nominally mine, the minerals here will also belong to me, and I will open trade routes here, which will bring me huge profits in the future, and my eyes are not here, but the wild lands further north, where magical beasts and herbs are the most scarce commodities in the Empire. In the future, my lord's army may set foot on that land. ”

Elder Ambrobie put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked with some concern:

"Can my people really live here forever?"

"Unless the Grimm Empire no longer exists, and the decree against the noble lords has been overturned, this place no longer belongs to me...... Otherwise you can live here forever. Surdak replied.

Seeing that Elder Ambrobi still had doubts, Surdak decided to draw him a large pie:

"We have occupied many planes, but basically we have built a beautiful home with the aborigines of the plane, and few lord armies will fight with rival tribes for many years, which will not do us any good, and it will involve a lot of energy, unless the grudge is too great, or there is a huge conflict of interests between the two sides."

Surdak concluded:

"The world is so big, there is no need to fight to the death for a piece of land."

Hearing Surdak say this, Elder Ambrobi felt much more relieved.

Later, he talked to Surdak about the need for close cooperation between the two sides, and after finalizing all the details, Elder Ambrobie finally signed a magical contract with Surdak on behalf of the Aigrod clan to fight together against the demon army.

With such a magic contract alone, Surdak could be regarded as expanding the total strength of the Western Route Army to 300,000.

And the combat power of the aboriginal warriors is far from being comparable to the heavy infantry soldiers, their own physical fitness is excellent, and each aboriginal warrior will participate in the sacrifice ceremony of the tribal witches before the war, plus heavy armor and sophisticated weapons, the combat power will be greatly improved at once.

After Elder Ambrobi left, Surdak stood in front of the sand table for a long time.

During this time, countless adventuring groups entered the Moyunling Heights, and they not only brought back the demon heads and black magic crystals from the Moyunling Heights, but also brought back the raw ores they had picked up in some places.

Surdak found that many places on the Moyunling Heights are rich in mineral resources.

There aren't enough civilians in Surdak's territory, and probably no one is willing to move their family here, so even if he captures this place and applies for his own territory, after driving out this group of demons, it will only be reduced to a no-man's land.

Then there will be a large number of caravans and adventurers sneaking in and mining illegally, unless Surdak can build his own mines sooner rather than later.

If this place is given to the tribe of the Aigrod clan to settle, then it is only natural that they should help take care of the mines in the highlands.

Later, when Surdak's mining team came to the Moyunling Heights, they could also hire local tribe aborigines as miners......

It wasn't a big deal to give up the land here to the natives of the Aigrod clan to live in.

Actually, that's what Surdak thought.

……

Elder Ambrobie led the group of elders out of the Duck Valley in the southern part of Moyun Mountains.

They left with the magic contract they had signed with the Western Route Army, and when they returned to the tribe, they needed to gather 100,000 tribal warriors as soon as possible, while Surdak's side needed to gather 100,000 sets of equipment within two months, and they also had to send them to the tribe.

In addition to a full set of heavily armoured, heavy sword spears, and alloy bows, Surdak also planned to equip the tribal warriors with skinning knives and water bottles.

In addition, Surdak promised Elder Ambrobee 100,000 boxes of marching rations.

Don't look at these as small items, but after the number reaches 100,000 copies, it will be a lot of money.

In fact, this is not that he has money and nowhere to spend, but mainly to consider letting this group of aboriginal warriors have sufficient physical strength to participate in the war.

He needed the merchant Malacomb to go to Constantinople to buy a full set of weapons and equipment, so he wrote a letter to the merchant Malacom, and then mailed the letter from the city of Highlandsa, and arrived at least twenty days before it arrived in the Belin plane.

It is estimated that there should not be too much time left for Malacombe to procure, and all the weapons and equipment will still have to be transported to Hailan City.

……

Elder Ambrobie and his party came quietly, and then left quietly.

In the eyes of others, the battle situation on this side of Moyunling has not progressed much, and there are more than 100,000 troops hoarded in this valley, and countless rations are consumed every day, but the commander of the Western Route Army has not released the army.

The busiest in the Western Route Army every day are those magicians who have reconnaissance tasks, and the mages have built a sand table in the command post for the entire area of Moyunling, and this time is the seventh rectification of the details, and they even explore the demon legion's station in the west clearly.

Occasionally, the Constructed Knights will go out on missions, but they will not venture into the depths of the Moyunling Highlands.

The people who hunt in the Moyunling Highlands are almost all witchers in the adventure group, and the mountains are full of them, and they and the demons meet in the highland wilderness, and the game between the witchers and the demon hunters of the adventure group is always the witty and cautious side that will win the final victory.

The Demon Hunters are also very vigilant and extremely aggressive.

Many times, life and death are in a thought.

Some people cry, some people laugh, the world is full of competition.

Many witchers sent themselves to the demons little by little because of their irrepressible greed, and it became a dinner in their hands.

There are also many witchers who have made their fortune hunting evil spirits in the highlands of Moyunling.

Just when the Western Route Army had just conquered the Dak Valley, the adventure group at that time was almost all over the mountains to collect money, and now is the beginning of the hunting game, both sides are hunters, and both are prey, depending on whose means are more ruthless.

The losers leave in disgrace, and the successful ones will have more followers, and many adventure parties will grow because of this, and the Hayes adventure group is one of the successful ones.

A large number of adventuring parties gather here, and naturally many businessmen will follow.

The military buildings in this valley were far more decent than the garrison camp at the foot of the mountain, and the merchants were certainly not stupid, and there was clearly the original appearance of a military fortress, so the first tavern in the valley was quietly opened.

Then there were applications for the construction of beautiful wooden houses in the valley, and the timbers would be cut into square pillars and stacked one by one, and some even had a pointed attic, but the construction of the house required an application to the Western Route Army.

Huge numbers of people gather here every day, and it was at this time that the first inn in the Duck Valley was built, a three-story wooden building.

Trading houses have sprung up one after another, and wooden houses have been built in the valley one after another.

Just across the street from the barracks, a bustling commercial street appeared, and there were even more than a dozen restaurants on the street, and almost all the flavors of Handanaar and Bena could be found.

Even where they can eat soldier ant meat and demon meat, these people can eat almost anything......
