In the camp of the West Route Army in the southern part of the Moyun Mountains, as the Constructed Knights and the Heavy Infantry Pioneer Regiment left one after another, this camp has gradually deserted, but the hundreds of tents of the adventure group outside the camp, as well as the warehouses hoarded here by caravans, all indicate that this will become the heart of the battlefield on the Moyunling Heights.

Whether it is the Western Route Army, or the adventure group and caravan, a large amount of blood is sent to the entire highland from here.

Surdak sat at the round table, his eyes fell on the map, which was drawn in a mess by countless red and black lines, Signa stood next to her, staring at Surdak with some boredom, she was just about to ride her horse to go outside, and before she left the camp, she was called back by Surdak, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, and wanted to complain to Surdak.

There are no evil spirits around here, what's the big deal to go out for a walk.

Signa stared at Surdak with big black eyes, her little white face was tight, and she didn't say a word.

Surdak deliberately pretended not to see her and left her there.

It wasn't until Selena walked in from the outside that Signa blinked her eyes, pouted, and put on a very aggrieved and pitiful look.

"What? Do you need me to explain what you did wrong? ”

Selena glared at her daughter, if it wasn't for Surdak to stop her, she would have personally gone to arrest Signa and locked her in the warehouse so that she could reflect on it.

There are many adventure groups around the camp, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this side, even if most of these adventure groups are here to hunt evil spirits, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no adventure groups hiding some other intentions.

These groups are mostly made up of adventurers, witchers, and magicians, but there are also some slave traders hiding in them.

The vast majority of the adventuring group are from Handanar City, and no one dares to guarantee that there are no people from the noble lords of Handanar City mixed in, if someone secretly captures Xigana at this time, it will inevitably affect Surdak and even the process of the entire Western Route Army's westward expedition.

So at this moment, Surdak didn't dare to let Signa run out and risk her life.

Andrew, the Wolf Knight Tiger led the Constructed Knights and the Ant Cavalry to the Villagassi Hills, where Garry. Decker led the Hoplite Vanguard Regiment to the Mevajisi Gorge, where there were not many cronies left, and no one had time to keep an eye on Signa.

In the morning, Nika told Signa about these things.

Apparently Signa didn't take these words to heart.

Seeing her mother's straight face, Signa shrunk her neck and completely became a sand chicken.

Surdak reached out and touched Sighna's head, messing up her curls even more.

"Go play, help Nika when you're free, don't think about leaving the camp." Surdak said.

Signa knew that as long as Surdak spoke, her mother would not speak out against her, even if she was unwilling to let her go like this.

When she raised her head, her face was once again filled with a sweet smile, her big eyes were bent into crescents, and she carried the hem of the princess's dress in both hands, curtsy Surdak, and said happily:

"Got it!"

turned around and ran out of the barracks tent.

"You've spoiled her."

Selena whispered to Surdak.

"It's okay, Signa is smarter than we see, she's just a little playful."

With that, Surdak leaned back in his chair and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with his hands.

Selena was in charge of the logistics of the entire Western Route Army, and the main force of the Heavy Infantry Regiment was about to go out, and she was the busiest during this time, only staying in the big tent for a while before leaving in a hurry.

Not long after Samira entered, followed by the herald who had gone to the valley of the North Sunderland to deliver a letter to the Marquis of Heller, the commander of the reinforcements of Handanar, who went to the big tent, saluted Surdak, and said:

"Your Excellency, Commander, your letter has been delivered to Valentine. In the hands of the Marquis of Heller. ”

If there was a letterhead, it must have been handed to Surdak at this moment.

"Hmm."

Surdak looked up at him and asked, "What did Marquis of Heller say to you?" ”

The herald lowered his head and said, "Marquis Heller just said that the situation is more complicated, and the reinforcements are limited, and they may not arrive at Mount Horsens as scheduled. ”

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

The herald was secretly relieved, but fortunately he didn't hear Surdak smash the cup.

In response to the reply given by the reinforcements from Handanar City, the herald was about to be stupid after hearing this, and the marquis told the commander of Surdak in a clear way: 'I will occupy the territory first, but it is better not to look for me, because you are looking for me...... I'm not going to help either. ’

Although it is said that the army is nominally a reinforcement of the Western Route Army, if the other party really refuses to listen to Surdak's orders, there is really nothing the Western Route Army can do.

Is this lawsuit going to Duke Newman, who may now have to pass through the portal of Epson City.

And the House of Representatives of Handanar County is people's territory, and Surdak doesn't even have to think about saying anything to that group of noble councilors......

"Got it, it's hard work, you go and rest." Surdak waved his hand and said to the herald.

The herald responded, "Yes, Commander." ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, he didn't want to be affected by the fish pond.

Thinking that Surdak must be holding back the anger in his heart, the herald longed to go faster.

The half-elven archer Samira, with her hands folded in front of her chest, stood beside the round table and said to Surdak, "It seems that as you say, this Marquis of Heller will not fight with us. ”

"At least he didn't readily agree, and then he didn't move, at least he gave me some mental preparation." Surdak smiled faintly and responded.

Since there were no expectations, there were not many disappointments, at least that Valentine. The Marquis of Heller is a real villain.

"What are we going to do next?" Samira asked.

Surdak didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and asked, "Jiali. Where is Decker's Vanguard Regiment now? ”

Samira's slender finger tapped on the map and said, "Here, there are less than 100 kilometers to go from the Mevajisi Canyon,"

Surdak nodded, and continued:

"This battle is very important, I want to give enough confidence to those adventure groups behind me, so that they will be bold and scatter like fishing nets throughout the western part of the highlands, instead of shrinking behind us and waiting for the situation to change like now."

……

In the gorge of the North Sunderland Ranges, an infantry squadron emerged victorious in a skirmish, with some casualties but also a boost of confidence among the infantry fighters.

Every unidentified Black Crystal will be a glory, and when this war is over, as long as you can return home safely, you won't have to pay taxes to your lord for at least five years.

One by one, the heavy infantry was on fire in their hearts, and they continued to pursue deep into the mountains along the trail of blood left by the demons.

There were six experienced scouts in their squadron scouting the way ahead, always on the lookout for movement around them, and if they spotted a large number of demons in front of them, they would immediately get on their horses and run back.

If you can still meet a small group of evil ghosts, you will naturally eat them in one bite.

Everyone came to this battlefield to pick up cheap, I heard that those adventure groups of more than a dozen people can survive here, and the harvest is not bad, and they will definitely not have any problems with these hoplite soldiers.

It is said that you can pick up the black magic crystal by walking around on the Moyunling Heights, and this rumor seems to be really ...... now So what's going on.

It was only a small half a day of chasing forward, but he still didn't catch up with the six demons who ran away, and the squadron leader of the infantry squadron didn't want to leave the canyon and mountain road too far, so he thought about leading the squadron to go back.

Although the harvest was a little lower than expected, it was still a small achievement.

A group of hoplite soldiers rested for a moment in a forest on the hillside, boiled a little water, ate some batter-like marching rations, and then planned to mount their horses and leave the ridge.

But before all the soldiers had finished eating the marching rations in the lunch box, the infantry soldiers who were standing on the mountain beam in the distance and were in charge of guarding waved their hands to the woodland in a panic, and then hurriedly grabbed the reins of the war horses beside them, and wanted to ride away on the war horses in a panic.

A black bone spear flew out from the other side of the ridge and stabbed precisely into the back of the sentry infantry soldier, the sharp bone spear peeking through his chest and piercing into the horse's neck, stringing him and the horse together.

The horse neighed miserably, and fell to the ridge.

A sentry immediately sounded in the rest area on this side of the forest, and all the infantry soldiers put down the lunch boxes in their hands and picked up the weapons around them to prepare for the battle.

The squadron leader of the infantry regiment threw the lunch box in his hand directly at his feet and strode out of the forest.

Before he could shout 'Prepare for battle,' he saw one, two, three appear on the mountain beam......

A whole row of demon warriors covered in black bone armor, these demon warriors with bone spears in their hands, almost rushed towards the woodland, there were at least dozens of them.

"Everyone, get on the horse, get out of here!"

The squadron leader shouted, turned around and ran towards the Gubo war horse beside him.

The hoplite warriors in the forest were in a mess, and no one was willing to fight to stop the evil spirits at this time, and everyone went to find their own war horses, thinking that as long as they rode on the horses, they could get rid of these evil spirits who had long been hungry and weak.

'Whoosh'

Bone spears pierced the sky.

Standing high on the mountain beams, the demons charged towards the forest below the hillside, and these bone spears cut parabolas in the sky and continued to fall into the forest.

The distance of these sharp bone spears was much farther than the squadron leader had estimated, and before these hoplite soldiers could run out of the forest on horseback, some of them had already been pierced through the body by the bone spears and fell off their horses.

There are also some Gubolai war horses pierced by bone spears, falling heavily on the grassy slope, the infantry soldiers on horseback fell with it, rolling in embarrassment on the grass, getting up and trying to find the war horse is no longer possible, and those who can still run will desperately open their legs and flee under the grassy slope.

The squadron leader gritted his teeth and cut the hemp rope on the hook, so that the luggage hanging on the horse's butt fell, and he couldn't take off the heavy armor on the horse's back, otherwise he would not hesitate to take it off at this time.

If it is more than 20 evil ghosts, there may still be the strength of a battle, but dozens of evil ghosts suddenly appeared on this mountain beam, and the little manpower around them is not even enough for this group of evil ghosts to fight their teeth, so what are you waiting for if you don't run?

He grasped the reins with one hand and fumbled with the clasp of the cuirass with the other, taking off the cuirass and throwing it away, as well as the bulky shield......

By the time he broke out of the woods, the squadron leader had already rushed to the front of a group of hoplite soldiers.

The physical strength of these Gubolai horses could not support the infantry soldiers to run wildly on the grass in heavy armor, even downhill, and the squadron leader knew this very well in his heart, and did not hesitate to reduce all the weight that could be lost.

The other infantry soldiers were not as good as him, and the demons on the mountain beams roared and chased after them desperately.

A bone spear took away the lives of the infantry soldiers, and when the squadron leader rode the Gubolai war horse to completely shake off those evil spirits, and then counted the surviving infantry soldiers around him, he found that there were less than twenty people left, and there were more than thirty war horses that ran out.

The demons had long since ceased to be pursued, they remained on the battlefield on the hillside, a group of people crouching on the grass, almost half-kneeling in front of the corpses of infantry soldiers and horses, regardless of whether the warriors were dead or not, stretching out their long scarlet tongues and rolling the blood gushing from the wounds.

Their bodies seemed to tremble, and the bone armor made a crunching sound.

When a squadron of more than 100 heavy infantry encountered dozens of evil spirits, they were chased by these evil ghosts and fled in all directions.

It's a pity that they wear heavy armor, and even if they have war horses, they can't escape, and one after another they become a good meal for the evil spirits.

The demon warriors didn't chase too far, and when they found enough food, they stopped, and a low howl came from the mountains......

Hearing that, the two dozen surviving infantry soldiers had weak legs, and if they hadn't been on horseback, they might not have been able to walk.

……

They are a group of demon warriors who fled into the North Sunderland Mountains after being defeated at the Battle of the North Pass.

Chased all the way by those terrible constructed knights, they can only run desperately, and they don't need to run fast, just a little faster than their companions.

Later, the knights in costume stopped chasing, and met a group of adventurers looking for a lonely evil ghost everywhere, and they suddenly found that only everyone could avoid being hunted by those adventurers, and they hid in the mountains of North Sunderland in a hurry, and they were so afraid that they could not find anything to eat in this bare mountain.

They could only eat moss and gnaw on the bark of trees, and just when they felt that they were about to lose their lives, a regiment of hoplites suddenly appeared in the canyon.

At first, they were so frightened that they all hid in the depths of the mountains, but then they found the hoplite warriors scattered into the mountains around the gorge in groups, and then some of the hoplites found the demons hiding in the woods.

When these demons started fighting, they thought that they would flee if they couldn't fight, but they found out that they were fighting...... These hoplite warriors didn't seem to be as strong as the ones they had met before.

So the demons tried to fight back, and the battle went well, killing not only nearly 100 infantry soldiers, but also a lot of horses.

All the demons began to crouch on the battlefield and feast, they had not been able to eat a full meal for a long time.

The smell of human blood made them even more insane, and they let out a low, calling roar.

Hearing such a roar, the demon warriors in the mountains and forests in the distance turned and walked towards the location where the sound was made......
