The iron cage that Coffey took out was a groundhog, and the little thing in the cage was squeaking because he was a little nervous.

This kind of groundhog has a docile temperament, and if it is a groundhog in the pup stage, it can become a pet with a little training.

The Moyunling Plateau is rich in a kind of flower-backed marmot, which has a yellow pattern on its back like a chipmunk when it reaches adulthood, and this marmot is not as smelly as other gophers.

Signa has long wanted to buy one, but unfortunately Selena has never agreed.

This groundhog was almost wiped out by evil spirits on Moyun Ridge, and this time Coffey also found several friends from the adventuring group to get such one.

Taking the cage, Signa's big eyes bent into crescent moons, took out a piece of whole wheat bread from the bag around her waist, broke a fist-sized piece and carefully put it into the cage, the marmot in the cage was a little timid, maybe frightened, but shrunk in the corner of the cage, not daring to come up.

"Thank you!" Signa said happily.

Then he held the cage and elbowed Nika beside him, turned around and walked towards the camp.

Nika nodded to Coffey at this time, said hello, and hurriedly followed Xigena to the barracks.

Coffey hurriedly waved his hand to Sighna, turned around and prepared to leave the main entrance of the barracks.

But before Coffey could walk ten paces away, he heard Signa's voice coming from the gate of the barracks:

"Be careful! This time to hunt evil spirits in the Moyunling Highlands, it is best not to go too far, if the luck is too bad, then go all the way north along the east side of the mountain range, as far as possible. ”

Coffey didn't expect Signa to prompt such a sentence, and he was stunned for a while.

He didn't even think about asking for any information, he just wanted to maintain this relationship, it would always be useful in the future, after all, he was the little princess of the Western Route Army.

Their adventuring party had indeed made all the preparations before they set out, and this time Captain Hayes was planning to head west along the North Senland Mountains in the middle of the Highlands, where it was said that a large number of demon legions were often haunted, and if they tried their luck here, they might be able to gain more.

Today's Hayes Adventure Group has grown to more than 200 people, including fifty-seven excellent witchers, each member of the Adventure Group has a war horse, and the activity space of the Hayes Adventure Group in the Moyunling Heights is very large.

The last time they hunted in the Moyunling Highlands, the most dangerous time was only more than fifty kilometers away from the Horsens Gorge.

It is precisely because the last trip was very smooth that this time Captain Hayes decided that the adventure group should be a little more aggressive, and only in this way can they harvest more black magic crystals.

Coffey thought that at this time, the regiment commander might still be discussing the travel route with several other captains in the regiment, and thinking of the hint given to him by Signa, he didn't dare to delay at all, and ran back to the residence of the Hayes adventure group in the Darker Valley in one go, and reported the news to the captain of the Hays group.

Originally, Captain Hayes was a little hesitant about the route of this operation, but when he heard the information transmitted back by Coffey, he immediately revised the route of action overnight.

……

As soon as dawn broke, the morning fog in the valley had not yet lifted, and the trumpets of morning exercise sounded in the barracks.

This made the reinforcements who had just arrived at the valley station yesterday very uncomfortable, they did not have the habit of running and doing exercises in the morning.

Many reinforcement soldiers still wanted to curl up in their sleeping bags and fall asleep, when they heard the sound of neat footsteps outside, and even the ground was shaking.

These hoplite infantry soldiers are all fully armed, and the sound of armor rubbing is particularly harsh when running.

There was even a sharp whistle 'beep', and then a group of hoplite soldiers shouted in unison: "One, two, three, four......"

This kind of morning exercise has long been accustomed to the people in the Darke Valley, and even many merchants have taken the opportunity to call out to the servants, and the soldiers in the barracks have all gotten up to do morning exercises, and there is no reason for you to continue to sleep in.

Groups of sleepy-eyed reinforcement infantry soldiers climbed out of the tent, stood in the camp wearing only shirts, and looked curiously at the heavy infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army wearing heavy armor and carrying bulky backpacks, running in circles around the camp non-stop, and then sitting in a row on the roadside of the runway, talking and laughing while watching the play.

Some people even brought a basin of water from the pool, and after washing their faces, they had to carefully shave their sideburns with a dagger......

"Aren't they stupid ...... get up so early to run" The voice that spoke was not loud, but it was definitely not small.

Although it was not directly said to the infantry fighters of the Western Route Army, it was extremely aggressive.

The phalanx of the infantry of the Western Route Army passing by immediately fluctuated, and some of the running soldiers were disorganized.

"Pay attention to the pace of running, and don't want to have breakfast! Don't get punished with everyone! The squad leader of the infantry phalanx shouted in a hoarse voice.

The chaotic sounds of the infantry phalanx died down immediately, and a group passed by the runway at the edge of the camp.

Seeing that no one in the infantry phalanx of the Western Route Army dared to stand up and speak out to counterattack, the group of infantry soldiers who were reinforcing the army probably felt that their good dreams were disturbed, and the ridicule became louder.

"Probably because they don't have horses to get around!"

"Oh, I don't really see where their stables are."

"A high-quality Gubolian horse can be sold for at least twenty gold coins in the market, and I don't think their lord can afford that much money to buy a horse."

As soon as these words were spoken, the infantry soldiers in the phalanx looked in the direction of the sound, but they did not stop because of this......

Feeling that the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense, someone immediately reassured: "Don't say so loudly when you joke, be careful of being heard." ”

The infantry soldiers of the reinforcements stood and ran to the side for a while, and found that they could only eat ashes while standing here, and soon the people who had lost interest dispersed.

After the morning run, breakfast is open in the big cafeteria.

There are a total of fifteen canteens in the barracks of the Western Route Army, but even this cannot provide breakfast to 140,000 infantry soldiers at the same time, all the infantry regiments here have a fixed time to eat in the canteen, each infantry regiment has a window to receive meals, and only twenty minutes to receive meals, just enough to line up to bring out breakfast.

At one time, almost the same infantry regiment lined up at the same window to receive a meal.

This made the large dining hall look very orderly, and the infantry soldiers lined up in a neat line, and almost no one spoke to each other.

Those who have received the meal can eat at the long row of tables outside the canteen, and of course, some people choose to stand in front of the merit exchange list with cereal porridge, and everyone will go to see what new rewards are on the merit exchange list.

Due to the growing number of the Western Route Army, and the fact that the Knights of Constructed Arms and the Ant Cavalry have just returned to camp with a large number of merits, the merit redemption list has been updating rewards almost daily lately.

As the big dining hall became lively, the infantry soldiers of the reinforcements were also hungry.

In the past, the lords used to make their own fires and cook, and usually a small team would set up a simple earthen stove and then hang a small black pot to cook porridge or boiling water, and eat it with dry wheat cakes.

Because the lord army of this alliance form goes out to fight, the supplies are all the responsibility of their own lords, so each infantry soldier brings his own rations, even the weapons, armor, and horses are the private property of the lords, and the spoils obtained on the battlefield are also the lord's army's side, which is completely different from the western route army's side.

When the infantry soldiers of these reinforcements saw that there was a large dining hall in the barracks, and that all the infantry soldiers of the Western Route Army who had just finished morning exercise were lined up to have breakfast, they began to discuss:

"It looks like it's time to eat, should we go and ...... too?"

"Didn't you see them going to eat in batches? Shall we ask our group about the order of dining......"

Everyone began to discuss one after another, and at this time, some captains got up from the tent, and everyone encouraged the captains of the regiment to go and inquire.

They didn't think about participating in the morning exercise, but they didn't want to be left behind in the meal.

The captains of the various infantry regiments beat them to the door of the nearest canteen and began to ask the men who were boiling cereal porridge when it would be their turn to eat, and the news they got made the captains a little unacceptable.

"No ......?"

A captain of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Nelson Lords asked in surprise, "We had a sumptuous dinner with you last night!" ”

The man pointed impatiently to a person in charge at the door of the dining hall, and motioned to go there and ask, he was not responsible for explaining these things.

Several captains ran to inquire, and the commander of the large dining hall replied: "Yesterday was the welcome ceremony, and your supplies were allocated separately by the city of Handanaer, so from today onwards, you will be responsible for your own daily food ......"

“…… Unless your lord and our commander of the Western Route Army, Lord Surdak, come to an agreement and have us to serve you breakfast, your infantry soldiers will be able to eat with us! ”

A group of captains were sent away by a few words from the commander in charge, and then reported to the commanders of the infantry regiments, and the matter was immediately passed on to Valentine. The Marquis of Heller was there.

Unexpectedly, the hard-hearted Marquis of Heller had no intention of negotiating with Surdak, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Each infantry regiment will build its own earthen stove and solve the problem of food by itself!" ”

In fact, these infantry regiments have always come over like this, but there is no harm if there is no comparison, why can people eat hot mornings after training, and their own infantry regiments have to pick up firewood and cook porridge when they wake up, so if you want to have breakfast, I'm afraid it will be noon......

Immediately, some infantry fighters began to complain in private.

……

A messenger led his horse and left the valley before the morning fog had cleared, carrying in his arms a letter from the Marquis of Heller.

The remnants of the reinforcements stationed at the foot of Moyunling Mountain will rush to the camp in the Reach Valley in half a month, and there are still 40,000 heavy infantry soldiers on standby in the walled city at the foot of the mountain, and the Marquis of Heller intends to mobilize all the heavy infantry regiments to the Reach Valley.

It is estimated that when this side is ready, there should also be news from the Marquis Geoffrey, who has constructed the swordsman regiment, and then the army will immediately rush to the Moyunling Heights and begin to occupy a large territory.

During this time, the forage needed by tens of thousands of war horses in the valley will be continuously supplied from the Great Meadow by the logistics material regiment.

Although the long supply lines put a heavy burden on the lords, the matter has come to this, and these noble lords of Handanar County gritted their teeth and persevered.

Last autumn, when Duke Newman sent 200,000 reinforcements from Bena Province for the last time, the lords of Handanar did not say that they would throw their lords' troops into battle, but now they rushed to send their troops.

It is to be able to enter the Moyunling Highlands in advance under the leadership of Marquis Heller.

That's right!

The heavy infantry regiments of the reinforcements entered the Moyunling Heights only to occupy some unoccupied territory, and as for attacking the demon camp, the lords of Handanar City did not have this idea......

About these circumstances, Surdak, of course, knows.

He stood on the ramparts and watched the rising sun as the morning mist began to dissipate rapidly throughout the valley.

The half-elf archer held the Sky Strike Bow and connected Jiu-Jitsu at the head of the city, and Surdak felt that she was the most beautiful when she was wearing salamander leather armor, and it was obvious that after becoming a second-turn powerhouse, Samira was also looking for a way to break through.

At this time, Waters. Marquis Nishizawa walked up the stone steps.

When the marquis came to him, he immediately went straight to Surdak and said:

"Lord Surdak, the lords of Handanar County are willing to take out gold coins to buy the Black Magic Crystal, this time it can be regarded as entrusting me to be solely responsible for talking to you, no matter what the current situation is, in fact, we can sit down and make a deal"

Surdak looked at Marquis Nishizawa, turned around and held his hands on the wall battlements and said:

"Talk about a deal? All right! Unidentified magic crystals are twenty gold coins, you can negotiate as much as you want, the larger the amount, the more expensive the unit price, if the amount is too small, please go to the black market in Handanar County to buy it. ”

"Now the adventure group can also buy the Black Magic Crystal, and I don't want to repeat the specific price."

"Why do the more you buy, the higher the price?" Marquis Nishizawa asked puzzled.

Surdak smiled and replied:

"There are so many merits, it means that there are only so many opportunities for promotion, this is Handanar County, if you want to buy black magic crystals, you can still buy them, you also know that I am from this small place in Tarapakang, Bena Province, where our cellars are full of gold noble barons abound, everyone needs black magic crystals, and now the orders sent to me are thick stacks, you also know that everyone is in an aristocratic circle, and many things are not easy to refuse."

"There are only so many unidentified black magic crystals in my hand, and whoever takes more will inevitably take less."

"So the more you buy in a single batch, the higher the unit price will be......"
