The demon army is stationed on the edge of the hills of Villagasi, and there are constantly demon warriors rushing from the north, and there are traces of evil ghosts everywhere in the mountains, and those evil ghosts at the edge of the hills are more like a dark cloud in the sky, which makes the soldiers on the side of the Western Route Army a little breathless.

Demon warriors are sturdy and have a strong momentum when they stand together.

In the past two days, even the sound of talking and laughing in the barracks has decreased a lot, and under the pressure brought by those evil spirits, many infantry soldiers have taken the initiative to carry stones to the edge of the canyon, and the walls on the periphery of the military stronghold have continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The clouds on the Moyunling Heights are very low, and it is the rainy season recently, and the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky are like patches of snow-white marshmallows.

The tundra is full of water vapor, and many of the dry streams are gurgling at this time.

Surdak's tent was set up on the highest part of the high hill, and the tents of all the infantry regiments were surrounded by his tent.

Standing at the door of the tent and looking north, you can see countless black figures crowded in the hills to the north, and those evil spirits are also looking at this side, they should be more eager than the Western Route Army......

These demons ate almost all the large animals in the Moyunling Heights to extinction, then gnawed the bark of trees in the mountains for months, and now they may not be enemies in their eyes when they see the Imperial army, but countless fragrant grilled sausages and meat steaks.

The foundation of the wall of the military stronghold of the Western Route Army has been completed, and the stones carried back by the infantry soldiers from the edge of the canyon are constantly building the main body of the wall.

Whether it's the evil ghost or the Western Route Army, no one can afford to wait for this battle......

The high-level leaders of the Demon Legion are worried that the Western Route Army will build a military stronghold, and if the demon warriors want to attack again, they don't know how many ghost warriors will have to sacrifice to open a gap.

Surdak and the officers of the Western Route Army feared that the influx of demons from the North Sunderland Mountains would eventually accumulate to a very large number, and that the military stronghold would probably become untenable.

Inside Surdak's tent, Selena is holding a cup of black tea from the city of Hylanza and teaching Signa to draw runes.

Recently, everyone has been influenced by the magicians in the reconnaissance group, and they will practice drawing magic patterns in their spare time, and recently these magicians are making magic shield scrolls, and Selena has taught Xigana some runes related to darkness.

Apparently Signa was not old enough to sit still, and it was extremely boring for her to draw intricate runes on magical parchment every day.

At this moment she pouted, twisted her body constantly, and drew a symbol with great impatience.

If Selena hadn't been watching here herself, it is estimated that she would have run away without a trace by this time.

In order to be able to provide sufficient pozzolanic cement to the military stronghold, Surdak and Aphrodite have been going back and forth between the rented warehouse and the stronghold warehouse in Highlandsa City almost day and night for the past two days, but Surdak has accumulated a lot of magic waist bags and can carry a lot of supplies every time.

The half-elven archer Samira and the magician Arvid walked in from outside.

Surdak was sleeping soundly on a wicker chair, his face covered with a hand-drawn map of Moyun Ridge.

Probably hearing footsteps, Surdak woke up, lifted the parchment map on his face, and saw that it was Avid walking in from outside, so he sat up from the wicker chair and asked him, "What is the current situation of the demon army over there in the hills of Viliagasi?" ”

The magician Arvid also knew that even saying things like 'pay attention to rest' would not be useful at such times.

The big war is coming, and no one can get a good night's sleep.

He pointed directly at the map and said:

"At present, there are three demon legions coming towards us, the demon legion gathered in the northern hills is the westernmost road, this demon legion is the largest number of demon warriors among the three demon legions, so far, there are about 20,000 evil ghosts gathered in the Viliagasi hills, so far we have only found a few demon generals, and we have not seen the demon commander......"

"The vanguard of the demon legion in the middle lane happened to bump into Andrew's Constructed Knights when they entered the southern area of the Viligacius hills, and the vanguard was completely dispersed, and now this demon legion is repairing here, and it is about a day away from us."

"In the eastern section of the North Sunderland Mountains, some evil spirits are chasing the reinforcements of Handanar City to the north, so the number of demon troops assembled on the eastern road is the smallest, only about 10,000 so far, and they are rushing from the direction of Neihu, if they don't rest halfway, it will take at least three days to reach this side."

"Their vanguard happened to meet Simon, who was moving eastward, in the eastern part of the hills of Villagasi. The Constructed Swordsmen Regiment led by the Marquis of Jeffrey, they fought tentatively not far from the Inner Lake, the number of Constructed Swordsmen was much smaller than that of the demons, and they did not take any advantage, according to the news from there, there should be some Constructed Swordsmen who quietly broke away from Simon after that battle. Marquis Geoffrey's Constructed Swordsmen. ”

Surdak's eyes lit up when he heard Avid say this: "Do you know where they are going?" ”

"Most of the constructed swordsmen who left chose to go north, and they were scattered, and some of them simply joined the hunting adventure group near the inner lake." Arvid replied,

"You said that these departed constructed swordsmen joined the adventure party over there?" Surdak said with some regret.

"There are also some constructed swordsmen who have caught up with Andrew's constructed knights, and are said to have offered to join the Western Route Army, and some are trying to pass through the canyon of the North Sunderland Mountains, presumably to find reinforcements from Handanar City heading north." Wizard Arvid explained in detail.

Surdak nodded, he was a little disgusted by the aristocratic military system of the Grimm Empire.

Many expeditionary armies are cobbled together by the lord armies of large and small noble lords, and the noble lords also have to prepare all the logistics materials for the lord army that goes out, that is to say, everything that these lord armies use on the battlefield is paid for by those noble lords, which is the basic input to start a war, and the spoils of war after winning the war are the specific income of these noble lords.

Although war is a violent industry, and a victory can make everyone a lot of money, but the defeat of the war also means that these noble lords have lost all their money......

Of course, in addition to these large and small noble lords who sent lord armies to war, there were also some small nobles who could not afford to raise private armies who joined the legion in their personal names.

These nobles often join some of the Constructed Swordsmen's Regiments, and they also pay for their own expenses, but after winning the war, the spoils of war are also their own personal property, and many times the legions only take a small commission.

It is easy to say that this kind of army belongs to the victory of the war, and once the war shows signs of defeat, it will disintegrate quite quickly.

It's like Simon. Marquis Geoffrey's army of swordsmen has no sign of defeat, but Simon. Marquis Geoffrey's judgment of the battle situation made two mistakes, which made the constructor swordsmen in the Constructed Swordsman Corps question Marquis Jeffrey to a great extent.

Therefore, some free noble knights took the opportunity of the battle to quietly break away from the Constructed Swordsman Clan.

"Currently Simon. Marquis Geoffrey led the rest of the Constructed Swordsmen Regiment to the south shore of the Inner Lake. Wizard Arvid added at this time.

Surdak asked, "Where is Andrew's Constructed Knights currently located?" ”

Wizard Arvid pointed to the gorge of the North Sunderland Mountains and said, "They have entered the canyon and are about to cross the canyon to reach the northern tundra, but the speed of travel is a bit slow at the moment!" ”

Surdak and Samira looked up at the sorcerer Avid at the same time, waiting for his next explanation.

"Since the reinforcements from Handanar City have just passed through this canyon before, the heavy armored infantry regiment of the reinforcements has given the demon warriors hidden in the mountains some sweetness, and this group of evil spirits doesn't care too much about the army passing through this canyon, whether it is the reinforcement heavy infantry regiment or the constructed knights of the Western Route Army."

"They are constantly harassing Andrew's Constructed Knights, but Andrew is eager to face all the evil spirits, and the Constructed Knights are on the way...... Fight against demon warriors every day. ”

The magician Arvid paused.

Surdak then asked, "How many adventure groups are there on this side of the North Sunderland Mountains at the moment?" ”

In fact, he was still a little worried about the adventure groups hunting in this area, and now a large number of demon legions rushed out of the North Sunderland Mountains, once these adventure groups collided with the large army of the demon legions, if they did not run in time, they were likely to be swallowed by the demon legions.

These adventuring groups were the main force to clean up the remnants of the evil spirits after the war, and if they could do it easily, Surdak would still like to take care of them.

"There are less than a hundred, and most of the adventure groups are currently hunting evil spirits in the Mevajisi Canyon, and most of these adventure groups are in the area of the inner lake." Avid said.

Samira, who had been sitting next to her and hadn't spoken much, asked the magician Arvid at this time, "Is there any news from the reinforcements of Handanar City?" ”

"The hoplite regiment on the reinforcements is currently being bitten by a group of demons, and they have been forced to stop in the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains, and are building a walled city like us, but because there are no suitable building materials nearby, only an earthen wall with a trench has been built on the hillside."

Wizard Arvid introduced.

……

While the magician Arvid reports to Surdak the various information that the magicians have detected, reinforcements from Handanaar are battling the demons in the tundra north of the North Sunderland Mountains.

The battlefield was located on a very gentle grassy slope with a large trench in the middle of the slope and a clay wall on the other side.

A group of demons rushed from below the dirt slope with blades in hand, jumped down the trench in the rain of arrows, and then climbed over the earthen wall to fight the hoplite warriors guarding behind.

Two rows of heavily armed shield warriors with square tower shields are at the front of the formation, and they use their shields to block the onrushing demon warriors, while the warriors behind will stab the demon through the body with their spears.

However, the moment the demons rushed up, they would also use their tall bodies and sharp blades in their hands to stab through the upper edge of the infantry warriors' tower shields, and many shield warriors were cut off their heads in this way, or simply stabbed a bloody hole in their faces.

The demon warriors who rushed to the front almost all had a few spears and feathered arrows stuck in their bodies, and before they fell, they had to pounce on the other hoplites, using the bone spurs on their bodies to die with the infantry soldiers......

All demon warriors will become extremely bloodthirsty on the battlefield, and they are not afraid of death, and the demon warriors who rush in front will fight their way out of a bloody path and fall, and the demons behind will become even more crazy.

This caused extremely heavy casualties among the shield warriors in the reinforcements of Handanar City.

In just half a day, the Marquis of Heller mobilized two heavy infantry regiments mainly shield warriors to the front battlefield.

And at this moment, Marquis Heller's heart is also extremely bitter, if it weren't for the commanders of these infantry regiments who wanted to hunt evil spirits on the way, and provoked so many evil ghosts to follow all the way, maybe he could build a walled city here.

With the help of the fortifications of the walled city, you can stop these demons in front of you......

But now! The earthen walls had not been repaired, and for now the battle was almost crushed by the demon warriors.

Fortunately, at dusk, these demon warriors actually retreated from this battlefield in a hurry, which gave the reinforcements of Handanar City some respite.

The wounded heavy infantry soldiers withdrew from the battlefield one after another, and the rest of the soldiers began to clean the battlefield, collect valuable things from the demon warriors, and then carry the corpses of the dead infantry soldiers together, check their identities, and sort out their relics.

The heavy infantry regiments that did not participate in the battle still had to take advantage of the night to repair this huge trench and earthen wall.

There were a lot of heavy infantry killed in the battle, but the reinforcements had no way to retreat and could only hold on to this hillside.

There weren't too many demons gathered below the hillside, and they were eating the food they had gotten from the battlefield, and they let out a low roar from time to time.

Some time ago, Handanaar City frequently received battle reports from the Bednar Army and the Western Route Army, whether it was Kornberg County or the Gandaer Mountains, it was a success......

So much so that the lords of the city felt that fighting the demons and winning was likely to be easy.

The lords felt ...... It may be that the demons in the Abyss have now realized that there is no room for living in the Warsaw plane, so they have become unmotivated, so that the Bena Legion has won one victory after another, and even the Western Route Army guarding the edge of the Gandaear Mountains has killed a large number of demons.

But now, when Marquis Heller really came to the battlefield in the Moyunling Heights, he found that the words that the demon warriors had no combat effectiveness seemed to be completely false.

Those demons can really eat people on the battlefield, they eat people, horses, dry food, almost anything......
