1479. Battle of Kitayama Pass

Andrew hurriedly ran to summon the Constructed Knights, who had just put up the cauldron here, and the water in it had not yet boiled.

The knights in costume almost all held a baked wheat cake and gathered around the large iron pot to drink the broth.

In the past few days, this group of knights in costume should not have eaten enough, and some knights have eaten most of the wheat cakes.

The Constructed Knights were among the first to follow Surdak on their journey, and they have a wealth of combat experience and know how to adjust and maintain their condition before battle.

In fact, Surdak really wanted to tell Andrew that there was no need to rush to make preparations, the time for the cavalry regiment to attack the demon camp this time was destined to be at night, and only by relying on the fog of war that Selena unfolded at night could the smallest casualties be exchanged for greater results.

Seeing Selena sitting inside the tent, it looked like she was meditating, with an indescribable coldness on her face when her eyes were closed.

You can even see a layer of fine hidden lines emerging on her smooth skin, those lines are black and blue, all over the surface of the skin, and there are fishnet-like lines on her face, arms and neck, giving people the feeling of a porcelain doll about to break.

Surdak was a little worried about Selena's physical condition, after all, it was the goddess of the night whose divine thoughts frequently came, which might cause irreversible damage to her body.

He sat down against the door of the tent and looked at Selena with some concern, and the woman under the black robe slowly opened her eyes at this moment.

The hidden lines on her body slowly dissipated before she knew it.

The charming face did not leave any traces of time, and there was a hint of golden light in the dark brown pupils.

She has a very sexual nature. The lips of the sense, with a raised arc at the corners of the mouth, seemed to be a compliment to the first glimpse of Surdak when he opened his eyes.

She didn't say any greetings, just looked at Surdak with gentle eyes, but her eyes were extremely calm.

"You're becoming more and more like a devout believer, and I even fear that one day you'll leave me and serve the Goddess of the Night in the temple and never return......," Surdak said to Selena.

He hooked his finger on Selena's chin and looked at the increasingly delicate face.

Selena's eyes finally rippled before she smiled and asked softly, "Really?" ”

Surdak took her arm and lifted the sleeves of her black robe, and on Selena's white lotus-like forearms, there were black markings that did not fade.

"With such frequent comings, I fear that your body will be homogenized by the divinity of the Goddess of the Night......"

Surdak voiced his worries.

To put it bluntly, Selena's body is like a vase, originally the bottle only contained Selena's soul, but every time Selena prayed to the Goddess of Darkness to obtain the power of darkness, the Goddess of the Night would descend on Selena's body.

At this time, Selena was able to cast a powerful dark spell like the Fog of War at nightβ€”it could even be said to be a divine spell.

However, every time Shennian leans over Selena, her body will be filled with dark power, and these dark forces will change Selena's physique little by little, making her like the night more and hate the day.

Surdak felt that Selena had been reluctant to go out in the sun for a long time, and usually stayed in a dimly lit room or tent.

Even if he had to go out, he would wrap himself in a black robe, and even his face would be covered with a black veil.

Selena blinked, her pupils were not pure black, indicating that there was no divine attachment of the goddess of the night......

Although Surdak's words were a kind of blasphemy against the goddess of the night, he was not very in awe of this god who had no status in the kingdom of gods.

The 'power' behind him now is the archangel of the Silver City's high-level Heavenly Angel Council.

Selena smiled slightly, bent down and walked out of the tent, sat down on Surdak's shoulder, turned to him and asked:

"When did you have this delusion? Although she often attaches her divine thoughts to me, I am like a coordinate point in this world, just one of the millions of believers, and only a little divine thought has descended, she feels my prayers and will give me a little dark power. ”

"Actually, it's a way for her to understand our world."

"Originally, Xigna's body was more suitable, but after I was born, I found that her body was a rare dark physique, which was very suitable for absorbing the dark power around her."

"It's just that the goddess has chosen me for the last few times, and my body has long been changed to have a very high dark affinity, which is nothing, this is the path that every priest in the temple will take."

"As for whether you said that I would leave you behind and hide alone in the temple to serve the goddess, that may be a long time later......"

"Maybe you don't need my company anymore in the future, you live in Ruit City, I will probably meet in the White Forest Plane, and it is rare to see each other once a year, wouldn't it be better for me to serve the goddess in the temple?"

As she spoke, Selena's gaze fell on her arm, and circles of magic patterns appeared on her arm.

Those magic lines were very simple black lines, but Surdak could feel the power of the rules.

Selena's arms and neck were covered with these black lines, but they looked a little denser than they usually looked.

"Were you scared?" Selena asked with a smile.

Surdak shook his head and said, "Every second-turn powerhouse has a magic pattern on his body, you are the divine envoy of the goddess of the night, and there are some magic pattern circles painted on his body, what's so strange about this." ”

After he finished speaking, he also showed the life demon pattern in his throat, which was a dragon's throat bone that he had incorporated into his body.

Selena looked at the soldiers who had already started eating in the camp, and no one ran over to disturb the two of them at this time, although the camp was full of people, but the tent was twenty meters around, like a separate area that had been isolated.

The two sat and chatted at the entrance of the tent, without worrying that anyone would be able to hear them.

Selena sat there and smiled, and said to Surdak:

"Speaking of which, she was worried that the competitor opposite would take away more believers, so she paid a little more attention to me."

Surdak thought about who the 'competitor' really was, and was stunned for a long time before he thought of it, so he said:

"You mean the Lady of Dawn? How do I feel that this goddess doesn't have any presence, or that Nika is just able to feel her power......"

Selena glanced at Nika in the distance with a group of medical team maids queuing up to receive the broth, narrowed her eyes, and said with a look in her pupils:

"She is like a spring breeze and rain, subtly changing the people around her."

"You probably didn't notice that those maids in the medical team have a little bit of light magic now......

Surdak didn't usually pay attention to the maids that Malacomb gave him, so he touched his nose and said:

"Really? I really didn't find out about that. ”

Selena didn't say anything more, but rested her head on Surdak's shoulder, her eyes calmly looking at the busy camp.

"I've been wondering what can break the fog of war." Surdak whispered to Selena.

Selena put her head to Surdak's ear and whispered:

"Just as it can't be cast in the daytime, pure light can't dispel these fogs, but holy light can."

Apparently she didn't want it to be heard by anyone other than Surdak.

After telling this secret, the floodgates in Selena's heart seemed to be pushed open by someone's hand, and her mood fluctuated a little.

"Speaking of which, the goddess has not been able to widely spread the dark teachings in the Grimm Empire, precisely because of the existence of the priests and priests in the Temple of Freedom."

"The followers of the goddesses of the night are heretics in their eyes."

"This idea exists not only in the hearts of every Lady of Liberty priest, but in the hearts of every Imperial Empire, and all those who believe in Liberty are called heretics."

"If you go back ten years and people like me appear on the street, you might be crucified and burned, even if you are a noble lord...... There's no way to shelter me. ”

"If it weren't for you, I might ......"

Surdak pressed his finger to Selena's lips, and Selena pushed his finger away and whispered:

"I also want to thank you for your company."

After saying this, Selena's eyes seemed to become clearer, and then the two remained silent.

……

The knights had a supper and began to make some pre-battle preparations.

Surdak and Andrew, Wolf Knight Tiger Go, Gulitham, Selena, and a few other mid-level officers gathered at the tent to lay out a hand-drawn map of the Moyunling Heights on the table, on which there were still traces of alterations to the northern part of the Highlands.

At this time, there will inevitably be some deviations when the map is drawn by hand, and only by constantly modifying the map can the map be more accurate, and each modification will make the map more valuable.

In the past, this area of Moyunling Highlands was completely blank for the Bena Legion in Handanaar County.

Almost no one knew what kind of scenery the mountain had, and the early exploration work of the Bednar Legion was very rough, which was one of the reasons why Duke Newman had twice fought against Moyun Ridge and was defeated one after another.

The map in Surdak's hand now is the result of two months of hard work by a dozen magicians.

Even so, when Surdak passed through the northern foothills of the Moyun Mountains, he made changes to some of the markings on the map, and even marked a channel with a wind layer.

Right at the location of the North Pass, Surdak drew a large red cross on the map with a red pen.

He then drew the structure of the demon camp on the ground, and there was nothing to be noted about in this area, as the camp had no walls at all, just a few simple watchtowers.

The cavalry regiment should have rushed straight into the camp from the southern slopes, and there was nothing to pay special attention to.

Now Surdak was just determining the order of attack, the giant ant would rush to the front, followed by the Knights of Formation, and the ant cavalry was at the back of the line, where the battle was fierce, and they had to rush there.

……

After a simple battle plan, the sky had already begun to darken.

The night on the Moyunling Heights came later than the forest camp camp, but as night fell, the cavalry regiment left the remote valley in a majestic manner.

The straight-line distance from the North Pass is not too far, but the location is relatively secluded, and the mountain road is relatively winding.

However, in the complex terrain, it is also like flat ground for the ghost soldiers.

Seven thousand giant ghost-patterned soldier ants were at the forefront, and they were everywhere on the slopes and valleys, which was the strongest part of the cavalry army at the moment.

Surdak actually didn't think that one day he would have to rely on these ghost-patterned soldiers to win the war.

Seeing the warning signal coming from ahead, Surdak hurriedly rushed over with Gullitham, and a team of ghost-patterned soldier ants were hiding on the back of this hillside, only Andrew and the magician Basil were hiding behind a boulder.

There was only a faint light in the night, but strong men like Surdak and Andrew could see far away.

Surdak thought that the cavalry regiment had been discovered by the demon army, and when he came over, he found that a demon hunting group had appeared on the mountain road in front of him, and these demon warriors passed by the mountain road below, and did not find the cavalry regiment hidden behind the hillside.

Andrew turned his head to look at Surdak with an inquiring gaze, and it was clearly written in his eyes, 'To fight or not?' ’

Surdak shook his head slightly, then motioned for a few people on the hillside to step back.

The cavalry regiment waited quietly on this hillside for more than half an hour, and then waited until the demon hunting group was far away, and then they came out of the back of the hillside and walked quickly through the mountain road.

After crossing another mountain range, the black North Mountain Pass finally appeared in the field of vision of several people.

The stars in the night sky are obscured by a dark cloud, and the wind here is very strong at night, and because there are endless snow-capped mountains not far away, the wind here is very cool, and there is a biting feeling on the body.

You must know that there is no winter in the Warsaw plane, and this temperature is the same all year round.

The vegetation here is just some grass and moss, stepping on the grass blanket on the ground to the north, just a thousand meters away from the demon camp in the North Mountain Pass, the demon warriors on the sentry post finally noticed that there is something wrong with this area.

The black mist rolling on the hillside began to roll rapidly in the direction of the camp, and the demon warrior in charge of the night vigil immediately reported to his superiors.

Soon a large number of demon warriors poured out of the camp.

However, they did not rush forward rashly, but quickly assembled in the open space south of the camp.

A demon general came out of the camp and waved his hand behind him, and immediately a group of demon warriors followed him, and the group ran towards the surging mist, apparently trying to investigate the situation.

In the fog of war, giant ghost-patterned soldier ants walked forward in a neat line.

Selena stood on the back of a giant soldier ant, exuding a majestic dark power all over her body, and countless black mist swirled around her body like a vortex.

Happy Chinese New Year's Eve, Little Pig is here to greet everyone!
