Valentine. Marquis Heller's 70,000 hoplites were followed by a group of improvised demon warriors, each armed with two Gubolian horses, but on the tundra without any shelter, there was no way for the hoplites to get rid of the demons without anyone restraining them.

Every night, these demons lurk in the darkness around the reinforcement camp, and the patrols sent out by the reinforcements are a meal for the demons.

Marquis Valentin Heller lit a large number of torches around the camp, making the camp brightly lit so that the demon warriors could not sneak up on the camp at night.

When Marquis Heller came to the Moyunling Heights, he didn't want to fight with these evil ghosts, but after the evil ghosts behind him tasted the sweetness in the North Sunderland Valley, they took the initiative to gather together, and then like a group of predators, they followed behind the reinforcements, and rushed up from time to time to take a bite.

The Marquis of Heller retreated from the North Sunderland Mountains to the northern tundra without any form of counterattack against the demons, and the morale of the legions dropped greatly.

Many infantry soldiers thought that Marquis Heller's courage was frightened by evil spirits, so he fled so badly.

And the commanders of the various lord armies also had a lot of dissatisfaction, thinking that the Marquis of Heller was too cautious, after all, there were 70,000 people in the legion, and as long as they formed a military formation, they would definitely be able to fight against the group of demons behind them.

There were also some officers and soldiers who thought that the legion would continue to flee north...... Where else can I escape?

It's better to turn around and fight these demons.

It's just that these lords seem to have overlooked one thing, and a big incentive for the demons to catch up is that the lords' armies went out to hunt the demons privately, and most of the hunting teams were eaten by the demons, and the demons found that this heavy infantry regiment was not so powerful, so they started this feast trip.

They chased them out of instinct, and at first they only attacked the hoplites at the back of the ranks, and after killing them, they ate all the men and horses in their stomachs.

The well-fed demons became stronger, and many of them gathered together one after another when they smelled blood, and as the demons gathered more and more, their courage grew.

They are greedy, fierce, and brutal by nature, and their feet are stained with the blood of the reinforcements......

Eventually, they chased to the tundra in the northern highlands of the North Sunderland Mountains, desperately chasing after reinforcements.

……

Marquis Heller is a half-born horse, and naturally he is not an idiot.

He refused Surdak's orders in order to gain greater benefits for the lords of Handanar.

This time he was targeted by the demons, and the reason why he chose to avoid the battle and keep retreating to the north was actually to find a battlefield that was favorable to the hoplites, a suitable place to camp, after all, this support army still had to hold this occupied area.

A heavy rain on the tundra made the road north more difficult for reinforcements, and the rain clanged on the armor.

The rain was icy, soaking through the gaps in the armor and soaking through the shirts, and the infantry warriors who kept moving forward in the rain had suffered enough, and it was clear that the demons were more unaccustomed to the rain than the human warriors, and they gave up on pursuing in the rain.

As the demons disappeared into the rain and mist behind them, the reinforcements of Handanar finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of being targeted by wolves on the prairie is not pleasant.

"Lord Marquis, those demons have retreated!" Viscount Bennet rode up in the rain and reported to the Marquis of Heller.

The lord army of the Bennett family only received the task of breaking the gap in the morning, and when he saw the dark clouds rolling over the sky, he also looked up and cursed the damn God for not giving the Bennett family a way to live!

But when the rain fell, the demons actually stopped pursuing, which made Viscount Bennet overjoyed......

Good luck is coming, and I can't stop it! So he immediately ran to the Marquis of Heller to report the situation in the rear.

Hearing the report of Viscount Bennett, Valentine in a cloak. The Marquis of Heller finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he reached out to wipe the rain from his face before he ordered:

"Let's rest in place for a while, Su Lun, you send someone to the front to investigate."

"Viscount Bennett, please be sure to pay attention to the movements of the group of demons behind, I know that the archers of your Bennet family are all marksmen, and we must block the first wave of demons to attack, so that we can have enough time to deal with it!" The Marquis of Heller patted Viscount Bennet on the shoulder and said to him.

Viscount Bennet puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Yes! ”

Viscount Bennet then rode to the rear of the procession.

The rain fell like a pour, and the team stopped at the sound of a whistle.

The infantry soldiers dismounted and took out the cowhide rolls from their bags, which were originally spread in the tent to keep out the tide and cool, and then used as a temporary shelter in such heavy rains.

The Marquis of Heller jumped off his horse, and immediately his own soldiers set up a canopy, allowing the Marquis of Heller to sit in it to shelter from the rain.

When the rain cleared, the soldiers didn't have time to change out of their wet shirts, so they continued to walk north......

Several commanders of the infantry regiment had already come running over to complain to the Marquis of Heller, but the Marquis of Heller did not stop the reinforcements from advancing north.

These infantry regiments also did not dare to fall behind the ranks alone, and no one wanted to fall into the hands of demon warriors.

"Lord Marquis, the clothes on the soldiers are all wet, the weather is so cold, if you continue like this, some people will get sick...... "The commander of a heavy infantry regiment pleaded again to the Marquis of Heller.

Marquis Heller looked at the blue and purple grass around him, frowned slightly, looked a little dissatisfied, stared at the regiment leader with cold eyes, and said after a long time: "Let everyone hold on a little longer!" ”

With that, the Marquis of Heller rode on his horse and continued to walk......

By the time the Marquis of Heller agreed to set up camp, it was already completely dark, and the infantry soldiers in the reinforcements only knew in the hazy night that this was a dirt ridge, and because the demon legions behind did not follow, although everyone was cold and hungry, the mood was rarely relaxed.

Bonfires were lit in many infantry regiments.

In this rainy weather, in the depths of the tundra, it is difficult for the soldiers to find dry firewood, which is full of wet moss, and a handful of water can be pinched out when you grab it.

Even if it was lit, it would be thick smoke, and there would not be much flame to be seen.

Conditional lord armies will carry a fire-gathering magic scroll or rune board with them, as long as the rune board is placed flat on the ground, and then insert a magic crystal fragment into the gem base, the flame will be condensed on the rune board, whether it is baking fire or boiling water, this magic flame is no problem.

Unconditional lord armies will also carry a pot of fire oil, even when they can't find dry firewood, even if it's wet moss, pouring half a pot of fire oil on it can make a raging fire.

On such wet and cold nights, the bonfire will undoubtedly restore some strength to the reinforcements.

Even if it's just half a bowl of hot water, it's good to get rid of some of the cold in your body......

Marquis Heller sat in his tent with a magic stove beside him, a magic chandelier hanging from a pillar beside him, and a hand-drawn map in front of him that had been marked with a lot of text, and the parchment map was very clean.

Opposite him stood more than two dozen commanders of a heavy infantry regiment, who were listening attentively to the assignment of tomorrow's assignment by Marquis of Heller.

“…… To build a simple fortification, we had to find a way to dig a trench five meters deep and ram an earthen wall on one side of the trench, the higher the better. ”

"Don't fantasize that a heavy rain will make those demons abandon our army, since they have bitten our tails, they will not be so easy to shake off."

"I don't want to say much about the rest, it's a matter of life and death for our Handanar City Lord Army, I hope you can do it with your heart."

Marquis Heller first arranged for the legion to build fortifications, and then began to set up the defense system of the camp to deal with the demons who would sooner or later catch up.

Originally Valentine. Marquis Heller was planning to build a walled city or stronghold on this high ridge, and he saw the military camp built by the Western Route Army at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, so he was deeply inspired, and thought that if he built one on the Moyunling Heights, he should be able to block the attack of the demon army.

As long as such a defensive stronghold can be built, then it means that he can take root in this tundra, and then the boundary monuments that have been buried these days will become the boundary line of the occupied area.

The only thing that caught him off guard was that the demons came too soon.

If you can give him another month, Valentine. The Marquis of Heller was confident that a strong defensive stronghold could be built on this high ridge.

Originally, I wanted to build a castle on the edge of the inner lake, but unfortunately it happened to be the easternmost part of the North Sunderland Mountains, not to mention the frequent haunting of evil spirits, and the location could not expand freely to the north, in the plan of the Marquis of Heller, if you can occupy all the western areas of the Moyunling Highlands, it is of course the best, even if you can't occupy them all, then you have to be able to occupy as much as you want......

It's a pity that the demons don't give him time to prepare.

The next morning, groups of evil spirits appeared on the grassy slope below the high hill, and they did not rush to attack, but they were just staring at the reinforcement barracks, which made the infantry soldiers in the barracks panic.

……

Starting from the camp at the southern entrance of the Moyunling Heights, the Western Route Army walked west for nearly four days along the southern tundra between the Villagasi Hills and the mountains at the southern foothills.

The Wizard Scout had told Surdak that the three demon legions had left the North Sunderland Mountains and were heading south in three directions.

Surdak did not let the Western Route Army continue westward, and the farther west, the greater the strength of the Demon Legion's counterattack.

The Western Route Army did not build a military stronghold here, in fact, he originally planned to build a walled city in the middle of the Villagasi hills, but unfortunately this land is now divided into the occupied area by the reinforcements of Handanar City, and Surdak is not good at building a camp on other people's territory, and the location of this Taiyuan is not ideal, so he decided to delay this matter.

"Basil, you go and tell Andrew that you are only allowed to fight one battle on this side of the Villagassi hills, and then let him find a way to go to the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains and take care of our horses! Don't always think about war......"

Surdak stood outside the tent and admonished the mage Basil who was about to depart.

Basil wiped his forehead and responded:

"Okay, I'll remind him."

"It's an order, let him carry it out." Surdak emphasized.

"Yes, it's an order, I don't think he's going to be reckless......"

When he said this, the magician Basil felt that he had no confidence, Andrew that guy, who dares to guarantee that he will not do something out of the ordinary!

Looking at Basil flying into the air, Surdak retracted his gaze.

The camp of the Western Route Army on this side of the tundra is almost connected into a large area, and the camp tent of the command post is located on the highest soil slope, and the view is very open, and you can see ten kilometers away from here.

Although the demon legion has not yet arrived, the heavy infantry regiment on the side of the Western Route Army has entered a state of readiness.

The Magician Scout currently has three hundred and six magicians, and there are currently sixty magicians riding magic handles to investigate information in various parts of the highlands, and the rest of the magicians stay here in the barracks to draw magic shield scrolls, and Surdak sponsors free magic potions, this group of magicians will naturally not be polite.

Walking on the carpet formed by the thick moss of Gaogang, every foot is wet, and water will form in the footprints left behind.

The barracks of 130,000 heavy infantry formed a sea of white tents.

Samira and Carrie. Decker walked side by side, and when Surdak was still looking at Basil's figure flying away in the air, the half-elven archer asked:

"You're worried that Andrew will mess around outside?"

Surdak shook his head and said, "I'm worried about the three demon legions from North Sunderland. ”

Jiali. Decker asked a little puzzled: "In addition to the ghost tattoo soldiers and ants who can stand up to the front in the team battle, there is also the fog of war, isn't it just right for this group of demons to come?" ”

Surdak smiled bitterly and said, "It is likely that they have thought of a way to break through the fog of war, so they will attack like this, and this battle in the southern tundra should be a battle for the demon army to regain confidence, and it is likely to be particularly difficult." ”

Gallie Decker was full of confidence in the fog of war, and said with a smile:

"The fog of war of the Goddess of the Night is not so easy to dissolve."

"We're just waiting here for the Legion of Demons to come?" Samira asked suddenly.

Surdak glanced at Samira with some surprise, and said calmly: "The real battlefield should probably be moved a little north, as close as possible to the hills of Villagassi, and also put some pressure on the demons in the camp in the Horsens Mountain camp......"

Samira didn't say anything, and since Surdak said so, she would have to prepare for tomorrow's trip when she returned to the archers.

……

"Lord Marquis, there is a captain named Andrew outside, who claims to be from the Western Route Army Constructed Knights."

A Constructed Knight to Simon. Marquis Jeffrey reported.

Marquis Geoffrey had heard the name Andrew, and knew that he was the head of the Constructed Knights of the Western Route Army, but he never thought that this civilian-born leader of the Constructed Knights would have the courage to ask for a marquis.

The Marquis of Geoffrey pondered for a moment before he said, "Bring him in......"
