1489. The First Arrival
The sun sets over the snow-capped mountains, and the clouds fill the sky.
The dusk of Moyun Ridge is the most beautiful remnant sun Surdak has ever seen.
Especially standing on the arrow tower of the north city wall, except for the north wind, the scenery is absolutely beautiful.
The strong north wind blows from the mountain road, and at the same time brings a lot of water vapor from the northern mountains, which carries with the wind and drifts to the summit as a snowflake.
There are also clear streams between the snowy mountains, which have melted the snow and ice.
Surdak leaned against the railing of the tower, his gaze retracting from the camp of the Legion of Demons.
The number of demons gathering is increasing, which makes the atmosphere in the camp in the North Pass a little solemn, whether it is the knight in the costume or the ant cavalry, they have shown some nervousness in recent times.
Especially at noon today, six demon generals charged towards the northern city wall from different places.
There were only six demon generals, who probably wanted to know the combat strength of the guards on the north wall, and these ghost generals rushed all the way to the bottom of the city wall, and the guards on the north city wall failed to make any counterattack.
Waiting for them to climb the city wall with their hands and feet with their blades in one hand, a few magic arrows were shot from the wall.
However, the demon generals were covered with black bone armor, and even arrows with magical power could not pierce them, so they waited for the arrows to climb for about twenty meters, leaving several clear rows of footprints on the northern city wall.
Fortunately, these demon generals did not plan to attack the northern city wall, but only jumped off the city wall in the middle of the way.
Magic arrows clanged down on the demon general, as if they were powerlessly seeing them off.
At this time, in addition to Andrew, Wolf Knight Tiger and others on the city wall, there were also several strong men of the Aigrod clan gathered.
】
Everyone waited for these demon generals to climb up, and then ambush them on the city wall, but unfortunately these demon generals were cunning enough, but they just climbed to the middle of the city wall and jumped down one after another, leaving without looking back.
'Hey, if only there were a few magic bed crossbows on the tower!' ’
Surdak thought to himself as he sighed softly.
As the commander of the Western Route Army, he had to show confidence in the victory of the battle most of the time, and he could only relax when he stood on the arrow tower.
In the distance, a group of aboriginal warriors ushered in on the North Mountain Road, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on these aboriginal warriors, pulling their figures long.
At the head of the line was a group of Aboriginal warriors riding blackhorned elk, who did not walk very fast until they reached the North Pass, when Surdak recognized the well-proportioned aboriginal warrior at the front as Delia.
It seemed that her wounds had completely healed, and she was wearing an unknown set of leather clothes and battle skirts, and carrying a bundle of short flying spears on her back, and she was facing the setting sun, looking up at the high northern city wall.
At this time, someone in the aboriginal camp had already run over to meet the group of aboriginal warriors and take their heavy bags.
The aboriginal warriors who rushed in behind even greeted them and let out bursts of enthusiastic shouts, obviously the identity of the person who came from this team was not ordinary.
Surdak didn't expect Delia to return to the battlefield so soon.
However, there were reinforcements from the Horde Alliance's side, and Surdak should have stepped forward to greet him, and he walked down the wooden steps of the arrow tower.
"Princess Delia is here......"
Along the way, he heard the aboriginal warriors standing on the city wall talking one after another, and Surdak realized that this Delia was so famous in the hearts of the aboriginal warriors......
……
At this time, a Bena-style complex had been built behind the northern city wall, but most of these buildings were made of large shale blocks between the local mountains, and the surface was not plastered with lime, and the gaps between the shales were only filled with sand, which looked full of the charm of stone houses.
However, the main beams of many houses have been erected, even the roofs have been added with some rainproof leather, and the doorways are also hung with curtains made of leather.
Rows of neat rows appear behind the northern city walls, and a variety of animal skins give these houses a breath of life.
At present, only the aborigines of the Confederate army with a certain status are eligible to live in these small buildings.
Surdak even brought some wooden doors and windows from Wall Village, which quickly raised the aesthetics of these townhouses.
What started as a few carpenters' workshops in Wall Village has grown into a large carpenter's workshop with nearly 100 carpenters, which usually processes various types of oak barrels, and only does other kinds of carpentry work when Luke and Charlie place orders with the workshop.
The batch of wooden windows that Surdak got in his hand was ordered by Luke, and a large number of customized wooden windows were needed for the outer outline engineering complex of Mukuso, and now Surdak has cut off a batch.
Speaking of which, the expansion of Mukuso has completely transformed the original slum outside the city into a residential area with cross-street gardens and public toilets, and the houses here are divided into separate neighborhoods, connected by avenues.
According to Surdak's request, the ring road in this residential area outside Mukuso is called the 'Second Ring Road', which complements the ring road behind the inner city wall.
Now the rows of small townhouses behind the northern city wall of Moyunling are also full of Surdak's unique style, and many aborigines who are used to living in wooden houses, although they are not used to dividing the house into so many rooms, still carefully decorate these stone houses.
Many of the walls outside the rooms are painted with symbols of different styles, each of which is said to represent an elder of high status.
Walking down the streets, Surdak even saw a large number of indigenous warriors gathered in the streets, and they had already surrounded the Deliana support army.
Probably seeing Surdak coming, some great witches and tribal chiefs came out of the house one after another to greet Surdak.
Surdak kept nodding at the Great Witches and the Patriarchs, and saw that the Great Witches and Patriarchs were surrounded by an Imperial man, and these indigenous warriors could guess his identity even if they didn't know Surdak.
So the originally crowded street immediately gave way to a passage, and at the end of the passage happened to be a group of warriors leading the black-horned elk inside, and Delia happened to be among them, surrounded by many people, many people were passing messages to each other.
Patriarch Logan stood in front of Delia, the two were talking cordially, Delia looked at the surrounding stone houses with a smiling smile on her face.
Seeing the commotion outside the crowd, Patriarch Logan stopped talking to Delia, turned his head and saw Surdak and a group of Great Witch Patriarchs coming over, and immediately pulled Delia forward.
"Delia, you don't know the commander of the Western Route Army, Lord Surdak, he is our partner in the fight against the Demon Legion this time, and he is also the one who gave our tribe strong support." Patriarch Logan said kindly.
Recently, he has been busy supervising the construction of this residential area, and he has to communicate with Surdak about this problem almost every day, so the two are very familiar with each other, and when he saw Surdak, he said with a smile:
"Commander Surdak, you have just arrived, I was just about to go to you, this is the captain of our Egrod clan's temple guard, Delia, who is very prestigious on our side of the tribe."
As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to Delia, who was leading the black-horned elk, and smiled at Surdak.
Delia let go of the reins of the black-horned elk, she was a head shorter than Surdak, barefoot, with several laps of linen bandages wrapped around the arch of her feet, amber eyes with a scattering of gold threads, and the child's holes looked like they were erect and very agile.
The whole body is full of youth and wildness, especially the two light wheat-colored thighs under the battle skirt, which are round and slender and full of explosive power.
When the two looked at each other, Delia's eyes refused to shy away at all, and there was a natural aggression in her bright eyes.
Delia then discovered that the Commander, dressed in heavy armor, was the same man she had met in the jungle that day, and she stared at Surdak in amazement.
Surdak pretended to see Delia for the first time, stretched out his hand to his chest, made a simple knightly salute, and said very politely to Delia: "Hello, Captain Delia......"
When Delia heard this greeting, she behaved quite appropriately and saluted Surdak.
Seeing that the forest princess of Egrod was very much in recognition of Lord Surdak, the commander of the Imperial Army, the aboriginal warriors cheered happily for a while.
Until the group walked into the living room of a stone house, the aboriginal warriors were still gathered on the street outside the courtyard, refusing to leave.
It was also the first time Surdak had heard that the Egrod clan actually had a temple, and the group of young people who had become the temple guards seemed to have great respect for Delia.
Even the Great Witches and the other tribal patriarchs had a friendly smile in their eyes when they talked to Delia.
Patriarch Logan was very patient and meticulous to introduce the situation of the North Pass camp to Delia, in fact, without Patriarch Logan's introduction, Delia also saw the city wall, she was a little confused why the demon would block a wall here, but now that it is occupied by the Alliance Army, it is obviously easier to defend this wall than to siege the city.
The tribal alliance army here seems to be very adequate, both in terms of armaments and food supplies......
Delia even saw some familiar young aboriginal warriors, who were even stronger than before entering the northern pass of Moyun Ridge.
The battle here has not yet begun, but everyone is actively preparing for the war, and Lord Surdak of the Imperial Military is also very cooperative.
This was Delia's first impression after coming to the camp in the North Pass of Moyunling.
As she passed by a training ground, she even saw several aboriginal warriors competing against the Imperial Knights, and the two sides were fighting back and forth on the training ground, and the cheers could be heard all around.
This almost completely subverted the stereotype of the Imperial Army in my heart.
