1516. Here they come
The sulfur mines along the banks of several lava rivers around Pustule Volcano had been mined by the kobold slaves, and they had to climb higher to get more sulfur, and the closer they got to the crater, the more sulfur piled up there.
It's just that the crater is full of smoke all year round, and these poisonous smoke usually rush into the air, which will not affect the kobold people to mine sulfur mines, but once the wind blows, these poisonous smoke will follow the direction of the wind, and it will often be when the wind rises, and some kobold slaves who mine sulfur ore in the crater will be surrounded by thick smoke.
In order to prevent kobold slaves from falling into the toxic smoke, Surdak required every kobold who went up the mountain to mine the sulphur mines to carry a gas mask and goggles, as well as a safety rope and a guide sign in the sulphur mining area in case of any emergency.
It is also these security measures that make the kobold slaves in the sulfur mine of Pubao Mountain rarely reduce their staff, but those bitche-headed people do not need to carry stones to the mine when they are pregnant because of their comfortable life, and they also have nutritional allowances when they give birth, and they can drink chicken soup and pork chops almost every day under normal circumstances, so that many are like production machines, and the cubs in their arms have just come out of the lactation period, and then they will be pregnant with the Nth child.
And kobolds can almost produce three or four sons per litter.
In just a few years, the number of kobold slaves on the Sulphur Mine in Pubao Mountain had skyrocketed from 800 to more than 4,000, and some of the young kobold slaves were sent to Charley and Luke to work as laborers in the 1st Construction Team of Ruyt, where it was harder but they could get a salary.
And for the kobold slaves in the sulphur mines of Pubao Mountain, mining sulfur every day is actually more like a life.
Get the work orders from the supervisors every day, and return to the shed to rest after completing the designated mining tasks, and you don't have to think about what to eat, drink, and where to sleep every day, everything is directly prepared by the mine.
The environment here is very harsh, but the physical conditions of the kobolds are very suitable for survival here.
Seeing the magic caravan driving in the distance, a kobold slave standing on a high single-plank lookout pulled the rope in his hand with all his might, making the big bell next to the shed 'dang dang' ring.
One by one, all the kobold slaves resting in the shack came out of the house, and they were to clean the open space in front of the mine, sprinkle some water, and welcome the master here.
The nanny carried Vivien behind Aphrodite and cautiously stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing a few dilapidated houses full of kobolds in front of her, her mood was very messy at this moment, she had long heard that there were slave traders who would sell some people to the mines, she had already made the worst plans, but she didn't expect to come here to see and hear worse, she actually had to live with kobolds, thinking that her children would probably be kobolds in the future, the nanny felt that her legs were weak, and she couldn't walk at all.
Aphrodite didn't actually plan to walk, and didn't even bother to take a look at the situation on the other side of the shed.
The overseers were villagers from the village of Wall, and the head of Bright was in charge of the sulfur mining.
She sat down in the chair with two bars that she had prepared, and motioned for the babysitter to sit in the chair in the back.
A group of kobold slaves then lifted their chairs and surrounded Aphrodite as they walked towards the lava mine halfway up the mountain.
Looking at the sky full of black clouds overhead, the ashes that kept falling in the air around her, the river of flames flowing not far away, and the black peaks that plunged straight into the clouds, the nanny's mood at the moment was extremely messy.
……
After entering the lava mine, Aphrodite asked the nanny to rest with her daughter in the stone house carved out of the mine, and she opened the Void Gate in a place covered with ruby prisms.
Only then did Surdak return from the Moyunling Heights to the lava cave of Pubao Mountain.
He mined some red crystals in the cave and put them in a bag, and when he passed through the cave, he even saw a fat salamander crawling out of the depths of the cave, obviously the number of salamanders in the depths of the cave is larger than the space they can live in, and there will always be some losers who will be eliminated.
Surdak thought for a moment, but finally gave up the hunt, after all, the Knights were resting in a col in the middle of the highlands while he was still there, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait on the side of the red dragon Isser.
Through the crack in the rock, I walked into the treasure chamber again, and saw that the gold coins scattered everywhere in the chamber were still shining, and the whole cave was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.
Issel's huge head was lying on the high platform, looking unrefreshed.
It was only when Surdak pushed the door out of the door of the treasure chamber that it lazily lifted its eyelids and looked at it, and then its heavy eyelids drooped.
Isser shifted his body, revealing his injured shoulder through the spatial portal on the stone wall.
It still had the cyan sword stuck in its dragon wings, but because the position where the long sword pierced through the dragon wings covered with scales from the bottom up, the position was very awkward, so that Isserl couldn't pull out the cyan longsword alone, and when Surdak saw the cyan sword, the wound on Isser's dragon wing was still dripping blood.
Judging from the marks around the wound, it was obvious that Isser had made a lot of attempts to pull out the cyan sword, and the secondary damage to the wound was also relatively serious.
Unfortunately, those attempts were unsuccessful......
"I'm sorry." Surdak looked at Isser with some guilt.
"What's there to be sorry for, speaking of which, we also got this sword, this sword stabbed me in a really tricky position, I can't do anything about it, you hurry up and help me pull it out." Iser didn't even look at Surdak, and said lazily.
Surdak tried to get under its wings, and saw the cyan sword hanging above his head, he had to stand on tiptoe to barely reach it, and there was a pool of half-dried dragon blood condensed on the slate, thinking that in the auction house dragon blood was almost always sold by the drop, and the price was ...... Gee!
When the cyan longsword was in the hands of the Headless Horseman, Surdak didn't feel anything, but now when he saw it, he realized that it was really big, and for Surdak, this sword was one size bigger than the two-handed greatsword used by the Great Swordsman of Bena.
As he grasped the hilt of his sword, Surdak was scorched by the black flames on the cyan longsword, and his hand couldn't help but tremble.
"Be careful, it's very sharp." Iser reminded Surdak.
Surdak hurriedly pulled out the cyan sword, but fortunately there was no barb on the sword, and as soon as the sword was pulled out, Isser's wings stopped dripping blood.
He condensed a cloud of holy light and raised his hands above his head, allowing the light to touch Isser's wounds, and the holy light quickly healed the wounds of the red dragon Isser.
Surdak had intended to stitch up its wound, but when he saw the scales on the edge of the wound, he immediately gave up on the idea of not having a sharp enough needle to pierce Isser's scales.
Thinking of this, Surdak couldn't help but glance at the cyan long sword lying at his feet, the blade of the long sword here was also polished from a cyan spar similar to crystal, and the sharpness was far greater than that of those long swords polished from metal that Surdak had seen, and the hardness, rigidity and toughness were not bad, and the blade was covered with fine magic patterns.
It's a pity that it's a two-handed sword, and it's not suitable for Surdak.
Isel seemed to be in a better mood, turned to Surdak and asked, "I'm still a little worried about you, it didn't do anything to you." ”
Holding the hilt of his sword in both hands, Surdak raised the cyan longsword, a large sword that could easily pierce dragon scales......
"We killed it." Surdak said casually.
There's a look of surprise in Isser's huge eyes, and she asks:
"You and the magician, by the way, and the native girl?"
"Hmm." Surdak admitted.
Isser couldn't help but raise her head, her huge head close to Surdak, its mouth full of sulfur, like an old smoker who doesn't like to use mouthwash.
"Dark, you're a little stronger than I thought." Iser praised.
Surdak stuck the cyan sword in the stack of gold coins in the vault, it was Isser's trophy, and he knew that gold and silver jewelry had a strong attraction to dragons, and the double-edged greatsword was clearly a treasure.
If he dared to put this double-edged greatsword in his magic belt bag in front of the red dragon Issel, Issel would bite him in a fit of rage.
Seeing Surdak insert the cyan sword into the pile of gold coins, stacked with those red, green, and green jewel crystals, Isser's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be in a much better mood all of a sudden.
Surdak asked, "You've been here all these days?" ”
"It's quieter, it's good for recuperation." Isel became a little frustrated when he mentioned this, it seemed that this injury had hit it a little hard, probably because it was usually quite confident in this dragon scale.
Surdak crouched next to the half-dried dragon blood, pulled out an empty bottle of spirit potion, and carefully collected the dragon blood from the ground into the bottle with a silver spoon.
"Dark......
Hearing Isser's words, Surdak thought it was a little dissatisfied with his collection of dragon blood.
"Huh?" Surdak agreed, retracted the silver spoon in his pocket, and looked up at Isser.
Unexpectedly, Isser didn't look at Surdak at all, but instead placed his head close to a treasure chest on the high platform, which contained the dark gold dragon knight armor......
It's a pity that there is no knight part of the suit, only the dragon part.
"You said that if I put on that armor, I wouldn't be hurt?" Isel asked, somewhat uncertain.
Surdak walked over, looked at the armor inside the box, and said with some uncertainty:
"Perhaps! How do you know if you don't try? ”
The red dragon Isserl sighed softly and did not continue to discuss the matter.
This unexpected injury has taken a big blow to Isser's confidence, and it looks like it won't get better.
"Cheer up, it's normal to get a little injured during the battle, this time I brought you a lot of snacks, eat more and maybe you can make up for it!"
Surdak hurriedly took out a bag of red crystals, placed them in front of Isser, and comforted him.
……
According to the information provided by the Wizard Scout Group, after the defeat of the Demon Legion in the Battle of Beishan Pass, almost all of the Demon Legions distributed on the Moyunling Heights moved closer to the western base camp.
This time, the demon army almost gave up half of the Moyunling Heights.
The adventuring group scattered on the highlands of Moyun Ridge wants to hunt evil spirits, and I am afraid that the only way to find the traces of the demon legion is to go to the western mountains.
However, many of the demon warriors who could not escape from the battlefield of the North Mountain Pass were still distributed in the central area of the highlands, and for the time being, these demon warriors who fled were the primary targets of the adventure group's hunting.
Although there were some fleeing ghost warriors scattered in the central region, Surdak did not let Andrew chase him with the Knights of Constructed.
The Knights, the Ant Cavalry, and the Giant Ghost Soldiers headed south after leaving the North Pass, and Surdak's goal was clear, which was to return to the Dak Gorge at the southern foot of Moyun Mountains as quickly as possible.
Along the way, Andrew and the Constructed Knights were tasked with erecting countless signposts along the central axis of the Moyunling Heights.
As long as there are iconic places, there are some street signs, which have been captured by the Surdak Lords, and the unoccupied areas are also clearly marked, that is, a large area of land west of the Moyunling Heights.
These signs will not affect the party in any way, and whether they have it or not will not affect their hunting of evil spirits.
These signs were specially prepared by Surdak for the lords of Handanar who wanted to share the cake.
In addition, Surdak hurried to return before those lord armies arrived in the Dak Valley, and also wanted to mark the area that the Western Route Army had occupied so far on the real-life sand table at the command post.
Even the maps on the walls clearly marked the occupied areas with red lines.
Since the construction of a wall on this side of the Darker Valley, a large number of magic bed crossbows have been placed on the wall, and two hundred catapults have been placed behind the wall, and the army of the Demon Legion has not been harassed again.
The hoplite regiment had been repairing in the valley, and only the adventurous regiment would enter the Moyunling Heights through the city gates.
A lively market soon appeared on this side of the valley camp, and a large number of supplies were transported from Handanar City to the military camp here, and the reinforcements of the lords of Handanar City, who were originally required to stand by at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, were not obediently stationed in the camp at the foot of the mountain according to the order of the Western Route Army Headquarters.
On the third day of Surdak's return to Dak Valley, a vanguard of 30,000 reinforcements arrived in Dak Valley with supplies.
This vanguard was led by three marquises.
Surdak personally came to the mouth of the valley south of the Rak Valley to greet him, only to find that the 30,000 reinforcements were not all heavy infantry regiments, because Handanar County has the largest grassland in Warsaw, and the lords here have their own pastures, so these 30,000 reinforcements are all heavy infantry equipped with war horses......
