1518. Fancy the horse
Surdak stood in front of the sand table, pointed to the sand table and continued:
"According to information from our scouts, the camp of the Demon Legion is on the west side of Moyun Ridge near the Horsens Gorge, and there should be more than one Demon Gate hidden in this canyon."
At this point, Surdak even used a red pen to point and dot a place on the map marked with a red cross.
The three marquis were naturally so shocked by the information revealed by Surdak that they forgot to speak for a while.
Surdak then went on to say:
"At present, the frontline battlefield of the Demon Legion has suffered setbacks one after another, so they will retreat to the western region, if the Marquis Geoffrey's Constructed Swordsman Regiment wants to enter the Moyunling Heights, this will undoubtedly relieve some of the pressure on our Western Route Army, and I personally support it."
Marquis of Heller, who was the commander of the reinforcements, and Marquis Geoffrey, the Grand Master of the Constructed Swordsman Regiment, were stunned at the same time, and the two of them looked at Surdak standing in front of the map, and Marquis Heller's eyes were even colder, and his aggressive momentum was undoubtedly revealed.
But the Marquis Geoffrey was very surprised, he did not expect Surdak to not object to the Marquis of Cizer's proposal.
Surdak continued:
"But the situation on the battlefield is not very clear now, I hope that the Constructed Swordsman Regiment led by Marquis Jeffrey will operate as much as possible in the middle line of the Highlands, there are some evil ghost squads scattered here, which cannot pose a threat to the Constructed Swordsmen Regiment, and this area can also contact some adventure groups, so you can completely understand the current situation of the Moyunling Heights."
Now that Surdak had expressed his support for the formation of the Swordsmen to enter the Moyunling battlefield, the three marquis had fulfilled the original purpose of this conversation.
The next step was the handover of supplies from Handanar County, which Surdak had not cared much about.
The welcome ceremony in the evening was also very impressive, especially when the hoplite regiment of the reinforcement army learned that the Western Route Army also had a medical team, and this medical team was also very powerful, and even often paid medical treatment for the members of the adventure group, these infantry soldiers seemed even happier.
Most of the lords could not afford to lose, but the thirst for victory, and the rewards for the soldiers who won the victory, were still very high.
This reinforcement army also represents the highest combat power of Handanar County, since they dare to run to Moyunling to grab the cake, Surdak estimates that they have also done some research in advance, especially the recent victories of the Western Route Army, including the battle of Yangchang Canyon in the Gandaer Mountains, the battle of the Buruin River, the battle of the valley at the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, etc., these battle reports Surdak have been transmitted to the Bena military headquarters in Handanar City.
And the combat strength of the Western Route Army is also undoubted, since the lords of Handanar County dare to come, they must have made full preparations.
In fact, what Surdak is most worried about is that this support army will rush to the high ground and eat those hungry demons without brains, and it may be his own army that needs to clean up the mess at that time.
If they still have a bit of brains and want to let the Constructed Swordsmen explore the way, Surdak doesn't mind providing some convenience to this group of lords.
If the demon legion on the Moyunling Heights was really that easy to deal with, the Bednar legion had cleared out the demon legion here five years ago.
The welcome ceremony was actually a meal in the large canteen, and then the guards on the northern wall of the valley watched as the Marquis Geoffrey led fifteen hundred constructed swordsmen into the night.
However, as they entered the mountain path to the north of the valley, Samira, who was in charge of gathering information, received a tip that nearly twenty swordsmen had been added to the group of constructed swordsmen, and these swordsmen came from several adventuring groups in various valleys.
And almost all of these adventure groups are teams that have returned from the Moyunling Heights one after another in the past two days.
In the twilight, Surdak stood on the northern wall, watching the swordsmen in their armor disappear into the mountain path, and only withdrew his gaze after a moment.
This city wall is nearly thirty meters higher than the city wall of the north mountain pass of Moyunling, and there are nearly 300 bed crossbows arranged on the city wall, and there are 200 catapults in the barracks behind, and these firepower almost cover the entire battlefield within a kilometer outside the north city wall.
Compared to here, there is not a single magic bed crossbow on the wall in the northern pass of Moyun Ridge, and the aboriginal warriors of the Aigrod tribe still need to increase the height of the wall as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely to face a counterattack from the demon army again.
After all, now that the north and south exits of the Moyunling Heights have all been blocked, the demon army has no way to retreat.
Samira sat on the base of a magic bed crossbow, and her beautiful figure was evident when she wore the demonic leather armor.
Although the guards all turned their backs to the two of them, Samira still did not have the courage to have any intimate contact with Surdak on the city wall.
The nearest wall guard was also nearly ten meters away from the two of them, and Samira sorted out the magic arrows in the quiver and asked in a low voice:
"Since you're not going to give up any piece of land in the Moyunling Heights, then why are you letting them in?"
Samira refers to those who construct swordsmen.
Surdak sighed before he said quietly:
"Even if they are stopped, there will be a second and third batch of reinforcements and a group of swordsmen, they can't all be stopped outside the gate, since this group of lords has the idea of eating meat in their hearts, I just want them to understand a truth, since the Bena Legion failed to capture this place at the beginning, then it means how difficult this demon legion on the Moyunling Heights is."
Samira rolled her eyes at Surdak and said:
"Why do I think you are so generous, there must be some other reason...... Do you have a crush on their horses? ”
Surdak smiled: "If you have to say that, it's actually true, I do have a fancy for those war horses." ”
He then turned to look at the reinforcement camp, where 60,000 fine Gubolai horses were in the stable.
Surdak wiped his stubble-covered mouth with his hand before he said:
"The Moyunling Heights are full of thorn grass and bitter-leaved grass, these two cold-tolerant and drought-resistant pastures are very suitable for raising horses, and now a good Gubolai horse is worth twenty gold, I originally wanted to help the Aigrod tribe buy a batch of stallions, and now you know how much I have invested in this war, and this money cannot be said to be a small amount, and now it seems that I may not be really needed."
“……”
Samira made a look of seeing through you, and then the two of them took advantage of the darkness to walk down the steps behind the city walls.
This night, neither Selena nor Aphrodi suddenly came out to disturb the two.
Only Signa and Nika sat on the windowsill outside the medical center, chatting about what they had experienced on the battlefield in the bright moonlight.
"Miss Signa, there is a swordsman named Coffey outside the barracks who said that he is your friend, let me bring you a kind greeting." A camp gate guard ran over to report to Sighna.
Almost everyone knew that Signa was Selena's daughter, and that Commander Surdak loved her like his own, otherwise he wouldn't have brought her to battle.
Whenever anyone wanted to see Signa, the gate guard at the barracks would run in and make a special report.
"Oh, I see, let him wait for me at the door, and I'll be over at once......" Signa said with a small face, calm and polite.
The gate guards saluted and retreated.
Nika yawned a little tiredly before complaining to Signa, "It's so late, you still have to go out?" ”
Back at the camp, Signa stopped pestering Selena, because Surdak occasionally broke in at night, and at this time Signa had to go to Nika in her pajamas and holding the quilt, so she lived with Nika.
Signa smiled flatteringly, revealing her two white teeth.
"It's us! At this time, I dare to walk out of the barracks alone, and once Selena knows about it, it is estimated that she will find a chain to lock me in the wooden house. Signa grumbled with a broken face.
Nika, apparently prepared to be a good girl, asked Signa rhetorically, "Then why are you going out?" ”
Signa could only hold one of Nika's arms and begged:
"You have to make some friends, otherwise life will not be very boring, in fact, I know that they approached me to ask for some inconsequential information, and I know what I can say and what I can't say, you go with me! I can promise I won't stay long, just stand at the gate for a while, good Nika, please......"
Nika had become accustomed to Signa's requests, and their friendship began in the town of Dodan on the Whitewood Plane.
At that time, Nika was a lowly native maid.
"I really convinced you." Nika tugged at her long white skirt and stood up.
Signa immediately happily pulled Nika towards the outside of the camp.
Wearing a tight-fitting leather armor with a linen robe over it, Coffey shrank into the shadows outside the gate until Signa stepped out of the barracks gates.
He was standing under a torch erected outside the barracks wall, and he would never dare to leave the barracks with Signa at such a late hour......
Coffey was sure that if he dared to take Signa one more step into the shadows, at least ten arrows would come from all directions in the darkness, and the four arrow towers on both sides of the barracks gate would also shoot rockets, illuminating the area.
Coffey untied an iron cage from his waist, held it in his hand and said:
"Xigna, I heard that you are back, and I will set off again tomorrow morning to go to the Moyunling Highlands, this time I go out and I don't know when I will see you again, the little animal you asked me to find last time, I have already found it, and I have been fostered by the Peide merchant, he said that he usually can't see you, so I sent you a ......"
