Surdak only built a wall at the northern exit of the Dak Valley, and almost all of the troops of the Western Route Army were stationed in the valley, except for the infantry soldiers who were necessary to be stationed in the forest camp and the camp at the foot of the mountain.

Not only are the arrow towers on the city walls constantly monitoring the movements of the demon legions, but there are also many sentry posts on the cliffs on both sides of the valley.

If the demon army wants to reach the cliffs on both sides of the valley from the Moyunling Heights, it must climb the steep peaks in the southern part of the Moyun Mountains, and this road will have to pass through two cliffs.

Surdak's ant cavalry stood by the cliffs, and the demon warriors were far less able to climb the rock walls than the six-legged and one-toothed ones.

The Dak Valley was run by the Western Route Army so impregnable, so the valley almost became a shelter for adventure groups and merchant groups, the land in the valley was originally not much, and the place where buildings could be built was very limited, and there were nearly 100,000 heavy infantry soldiers crowded here, and the military camp of the Western Route Army had already occupied one-third of the valley.

The rest of the land became the object of competition between merchants and adventuring groups, and Surdak did not expect that the problem that would erupt in the Dak Valley was the increase in the value of the property.

In just three days, the land here has swelled from 30 silver coins per square meter to 3 gold coins per square meter.

Land transactions in the Grimm Empire are freehold.

But even so, in a war-torn Plane Frontier Fortress, it would cost hundreds of gold to buy a homestead, which was a bit unacceptable for most of the party.

Only those merchants who buy dark hides and sell war supplies will buy land and build warehouses.

I heard that the owner of the first hotel to build it had tripled the value of the hotel in just three days because of the increase in the value of the land.

However, if you give up living in the valley and choose to set up a tent on the southern slope of the valley, you don't need to spend money.

Many of the adventure groups were forced to move their tents out of the valley and onto the slopes on the south side of the valley.

The Hayes Adventure Group was the first group of people to buy land, and now the Hayes Adventure Group has built a two-story wooden house with an attic in the valley, which is considered the residence of the Hayes Adventure Group in the Dak Valley, and there are a total of twelve bedrooms in the cabin, all of which are standard four-person rooms that can accommodate forty-eight people.

Now Captain Hayes sat on the platform outside the cabin, discussing the next demon hunting area with a group of adventuring party members.

Devil warriors are not as easy to hunt as they were two months ago, and the demons are already familiar with the hunting methods of witchers, and they often even use their bodies as bait to trap and kill the witchers of those adventure groups, in the eyes of the demon warriors, there is not much difference between humans and other monsters.

A group of adventuring party members sat or stood on the platform, and they could see the noisy streets, and four-wheeled trucks loaded with supplies were constantly coming in and out.

There are more than 100,000 people gathered in this valley, and all daily necessities need to be transported from Handanar City, so a large number of supplies arrive in the valley every day.

"The demons that have been infesting the highlands lately are almost all hunters, they are more ferocious and cunning than ordinary demon warriors, and many of the adventure groups have disappeared into the heights of Moyun Ridge." One of the rangers in charge of reconnaissance in the adventuring group said worriedly.

"Even if we get our men together, the demon team will quickly retreat if they find out about us, and when they come back, there will be a squadron of more than 100 demons."

This was said by the shield warrior McCracken, who was also the leader of a squad in the Hayes Adventure Regiment.

Another swordsman named Bowen also chimed in:

"In the past, we were able to use various trapping methods...... But now that those methods have been exhausted, those demon warriors will not be easily fooled. ”

In the face of the complaints of the team leaders, Captain Hayes also frowned.

Now almost all the adventure groups hunt in the Moyun Ridge Heights in this way, and it is not their adventure group that feels pressured.

It's the demon warriors getting smarter, which makes the hunt more difficult.

Coffey sat beside Hayes and said to the other captains:

"Otherwise, let's go north, I've heard that few adventuring groups have entered the depths of the highlands, and the evil spirits over there are more stupid."

Captain Hayes coughed for a moment, and then said to everyone:

"I heard that the Western Route Army has recently had a major operation, and at present, the Knights of Formation and a large number of ant cavalry have returned to the garrison to stand by."

Hearing Captain Hayes say this, the members of the adventure party focused their eyes on Captain Hays.

The Bowen swordsman immediately said:

"Shall we come along? Anyway, all of us have horses, so we should be able to keep up......"

The shield warrior McCracken was reluctant to ride a long horse, so he frowned and said, "The stronghold here has just been built, and following the cavalry of the Western Route Army to explore the north means that we must abandon this newly built house." ”

The armor on his body was too heavy, and his entourage, heavy sword, and tower shield required an extra horse to carry it.

However, his doubts did not dispel the idea that others wanted to accompany him.

Coffey said: "This is like saving an asset here, and before the Western Route Army is defeated, I don't think the house prices here will fall, and when we come back, we can sell this stronghold and bring us an extra income." ”

Miss Jenica, who was in charge of purchasing daily necessities, timidly asked Captain Hayes, "Commander, do we need to prepare the necessities of the long journey?" ”

"Well, I'll go shopping on the street later!" Hayes thought for a moment, then said, "It is far easier to follow behind the Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army and pick up some wounded demon warriors from the edge of the battlefield than it is for us to hunt everywhere. ”

Hearing the leader's decision, the other members of the party didn't question anything more.

Hayes' recent decisions have made a lot of money for the party, and it has nearly doubled the size of the original group of only sixteen people.

So the decision made by Captain Hayes still carries a lot of weight.

At this time, Coffey thought of what the little princess said to herself when he saw Xigna in the morning, so he said: "I heard that the treatment team of the Western Route Army will also go out with the army this time......

During these months, the medical team of the Western Route Army attracted a large number of adventurous groups to the Northern Theater of Operations in Handanar County.

All along, the medical team has been hiding in the rear to carry out treatment work, and it is rare to go on expeditions with the Knights of Formation.

"It looks like Lord Surdak must have planned a big operation this time." Captain Hayes seemed to smell the smell of blood before a big battle, and said in a deep voice.

……

Unbeknownst to Surdak, he was still holding a pre-battle mobilization meeting at the command post, and the plan to construct the Knights and Ant Cavalry had already reached the ears of some adventuring groups.

In fact, almost all of the people who were able to get this expedition plan were brokers who were very close to the Constructed Knights.

Their other identity is that of merchants, and they usually rely on bringing members of the adventure group to exchange merit list rewards for the Constructed Knights in exchange for some commissions.

Therefore, they are also the most well-informed, and many of the constructed knights know that they are about to go on an expedition in the next two days, so they reveal the news.

The adventure groups that have caused the entire Dak Valley to be active in the past few days, and the volume of trade in dry food and daily necessities in the field has gradually increased.

According to the agreement with Elder Ambrobie, Surdak needed to send 100,000 sets of heavy armor and weapons to the northern mountain range of Moyun Ridge, and at the same time, he also planned to attack from the north and south with the aboriginal warriors to defeat the defenders of the demon army in the northern pass of Moyun Ridge and block the northern gate of Moyun Ridge.

So Surdak decided to lead the giant soldier ant legion this time, the ant cavalry regiment and the Constructed Knights to go out together, this time without the heavy infantry regiment and the aboriginal militia regiment in the valley, because these regiments ran too slowly, and wanted to cross the entire Moyunling Heights, and if they didn't do it well, they would be targeted by a large group of demon warriors.

When the time comes, you can't shake it off, and you can't beat it, that's the worst thing.

In order to provide maximum help to the indigenous warriors on this expedition, Surdak decided to bring Selena and Nika's medical team with him this time.

In addition to this, Andrew, Tygo and Gulitham will also go with the army.

Samira was to remain in the valley and garrison the walls as the Grand Master of the Bed Crossbow Regiment and the Archer Regiment.

Jiali. Decker and Naomi are also staying, Carrie. Decker would be in charge of the rest of the Western Route Army, and Naomi simply didn't want to travel far, and this kind of long journey would be a very painful thing for a necromancer like her, who had stiff limbs.

An army of seven thousand giant soldiers, two thousand cavalry ants, and one thousand Knights in Armor, just three weeks after Elder Ambrobee left the Duck Valley, set out from the Duck Valley and headed north along the twenty-first mountain road outside the valley.

According to information obtained by the Mage Scouting Group, this mountain road is the least frequented by evil spirits.

This is the first time that Surdak has stepped out of the Dak Valley and entered the Moyunling Highlands, in fact, this mountainous area is not the Moyunling Highlands, these overlapping and narrow hills are spread all over the huge slopes at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, forming canyons of different lengths.

Only after passing through this hill can the army really reach the Moyunling Heights.

Along the way, Surdak's legions had been making their way up the canyons with many branches, and the slopes were not too steep, but they were very physically demanding.

Fortunately, Surdak's army is almost always full of soldiers, and these guys never seem to know what exhaustion is.

As for the Demon Warhorses equipped by the Constructed Knights, they can share physical strength with the Constructed Knights, so there is no need to worry about physical exertion.

After leaving the Dak Valley, Surdak found that there was a lot less vegetation on the Moyun Ridge, and the army was walking through a valley, and the mountains on both sides were almost all the kind of bare black rocks on the tops, and there was almost no vegetation on these rocks.

Perhaps after thousands of years of weathering, the mountain rocks are very peeling, countless gravel and gravel are piled up in the middle of the mountain, and only under the mountain range will some moss and grass grow, not to mention trees, even shrubs are rarely seen.

As the Knights passed through the valley, the horses' hooves shook and the gravel of the mountain continued to slide downward, making a sound similar to rolling thunder.

There are some forks in the road everywhere in these mountains, and of course not every canyon can allow the army to go up, and some canyons will find that there is life and death in front of you as you walk.

This kind of mountain covered with gravel is extremely difficult to climb, even if it is an ant cavalry that can climb over the cliff, and if you don't do it well, you will be buried by gravel.

However, Surdak has a team of mage scouts, so the choice of path is almost perfect to avoid all kinds of difficult areas.

Surdak saw a fork in the road again, and the magician Basil was waiting on the side of the road, apparently reporting the situation.

He hurriedly rode over, and after the magician Basil saluted Surdak, he took the initiative to tell the reason:

"Commander, we have found the remnants of the army of the Valley Demon Legion in the valley on the left side of the front, there are probably more than 6,000 evil spirits, and there should be a demon general mixed in it, that valley is a mountain col, and a large amount of gravel is piled up in the middle of the steep mountain...... And if we go up the canyon on the right, we can avoid these evil spirits. ”

Surdak almost didn't think about it before he instructed Andrew: "Let the Knights of Construct seal the mouth of the valley, only by clearing this group of demons can we get out of here with peace of mind." ”

"Yes......"

Andrew received the order and immediately went to gather the Knights of Constructed.

……

A convoy walked for three weeks along the edge of the woodland at the foot of the eastern Moyun Ridge, which was already on the edge of the southward movement of the Aboriginal people.

If you don't go far, you can probably see the warriors in the tribe waiting here to meet you.

Elder Ambrobie sat in the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this secret meeting with the Western Route Army, according to the signed magic contract, Elder Ambrobie decided to recruit 100,000 aboriginal warriors.

In fact, he originally wanted to recruit 200,000 of them, and the Surdak Lord would provide the armaments, and these armaments could be left directly after the war, and there was no reason why Elder Ambrobi should not recruit more indigenous warriors.

However, the Surdak lords were only willing to raise 100,000 armaments.

He knew that these armaments were not cheap in the Grimm Empire, but he was a little puzzled whether the magic crystals that Lord Surdak had harvested after fighting this battle would be enough to cover this expensive expense.

Elder Ambrobie couldn't figure out what his purpose was for Lord Surdak's unsparing efforts to help the tribe out of the predicament, and he didn't believe Surdak's rhetoric a little, but now that a magic contract was in front of him, he finally had some confidence.

It seems that it is time to reclaim Moyunling...... Elder Ambrobi thought.

He saw the sixty-meter-high wall in the Dak Valley, which had been built in two months, and felt an indescribable envy in his heart.

That's a real wall.

Lord Surdak promised to help him build one north of the Moyun Heights, and with this wall, what else did they have to worry about......

Come to think of it......

The haze that has accumulated in my heart over the years has been swept away, and even looking at the sky makes me feel extraordinarily clear.
