Surdak crouched by the river, peeling off the most valuable dark hides from several of the demon warriors, and the remaining bloody corpses were threaded together by Gulit with straw ropes and soaked in the clear water, where a large amount of blood smeared along the river.

The two-headed ogre was going to pull the corpses of the demons to the other side of the river, where there were twelve ghost-patterned soldier ants, and they didn't care about the black gas on the demons.

The blood of the demon spread in the river, and it wasn't long before several huge shadows were reflected under the sparkling water, huge pike-shaped heads, but with octopus-like tails, they approached silently at the bottom of the river.

However, they don't know that the river in this area is not so deep, especially when they reach the shore, and the figure of the mola fish is clearly visible underwater.

The two-headed ogre brothers stood knee-deep in the river, and when they saw the slowly approaching shadows in the river, the two looked at each other, and saw a flash of excitement in each other's eyes.

Gulitham quietly raised the stick in his hand, quietly waiting for the Mora fish to approach......

……

Aphrodite stood beside Surdak as the river kissed the gravel on the shore and made a 'whoosh' sound.

"Do you know the power of the Constructed Knight?" Aphrodite looked up and asked Surdak.

It was daytime in the city of Hylanza, so she wore a long black dress and a pearl necklace around her neck, which reflected her milk-like skin and exuded a faint luster.

Surdak remembers that when she first met Aphrodite, her complexion was dull and dark, and she didn't expect her complexion to change.

He thought it was because he had just visited an indigenous village, and seeing the ruined and scorched earth in the valley had made his mind a little messy.

Surdak thought about it for a moment before he said:

"The Constructed Knight is composed of elite first-turn warriors, sophisticated demonic constructed armor, and high-quality scale horses, so it will be more than twice as powerful as the ordinary heavy cavalry regiment and become the banner of the Grimm Empire."

Aphrodi laughed and said, "But if that's all there is to it, how can the Constructed Knight overwhelm the wolf cavalry of the Pai Plateau?" ”

She reached out and grabbed Surdak's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"In fact, the most powerful thing about the knight is that the knight is built with the magic pattern as a bridge to connect the knight and the war horse." Aphrodite added.

Of course, Surdak understood what Aphrodite said.

He's a knight in his own right.

He just didn't know what Aphrodite was going to say to him next.

Aphrodite's gaze swept across the river and landed on the ghostly soldiers on the other side of the riverbank.

Surdak also followed Aphrodi's gaze, and saw a few ghost-patterned soldier ants crouching on the boulder by the river, trying to touch the surface of the river with the tentacles on their heads, but they were very afraid of water, and they had to quickly retract when they touched a little water.

"As for these ant cavalry of yours?"

Aphrodite compared the constructed knight with the ant cavalry, and said to Surdak: "Ordinary heavy infantry soldiers, standard heavy armor, the only thing that can be praised is these ghost-patterned red ants, ordinary infantry soldiers themselves do not have much combat power, not to mention wearing ordinary battle armor, these ant cavalry are not even comparable to heavy cavalry on the plain battlefield, and now they are exposed to not being able to wade through water." ”

These are all facts.

In fact, Surdak's original idea was very simple, that is, he wanted the soldier ants to be able to carry infantry soldiers, so that they could be counted as a unit when passing through the portal.

Later, it was discovered that the ant cavalry had other benefits, which could not only save the physical strength of the warriors, but also increase the speed of marching.

"Dark, have you ever thought about improving the Ant Cavalry?" Aphrodite asked as she turned her head to look at Surdak's face.

"My original idea was to bring these 50,000 soldiers to the battlefield of Warsaw to fight the demon legions as cannon fodder, but now they seem to be working much better than I expected." Surdak said calmly.

"Ever wondered...... In battle, the power of the ghost soldiers and hoplites merges, and it ...... These ant cavalry are strong enough to fight against demon warriors. Aphrodite narrowed her eyes, a sly glint in her gaze.

Surdak was moved, and asked very seriously, "So, how can the power between the two be integrated?" ”

He thought for a moment before adding, "Most of this group of heavy infantry warriors haven't broken through, and it's impossible for demons to use magic patterns to construct them, how can we help them build a bridge of power?" This should be the subject of the group of inscriptionists in the ivory tower. ”

"At present, the magic pattern structures made by these inscription masters in the empire have a high carrying capacity, and the price is expensive, I can't afford to buy so many magic pattern structures."

"Moreover, even if ordinary warriors can wear demonic pattern constructs, I don't have enough gold coins in my hand to buy these demonic pattern constructs."

When Aphrodite heard Surdak say this, she immediately added:

"These soldier ants are several levels stronger than the heavy armored warriors in terms of strength and speed, and in my opinion, the ghost pattern soldier ants don't need infantry warriors to transfer power to them at all."

"So I don't think they need to build a bridge of power, they should establish a master-slave relationship between them, not power sharing."

"The ghost soldiers and ants have always been accustomed to accepting the queen's orders to fight, and their own individual strength is very strong, but they are controlled by the queen ant remotely during the battle, so they are very rigid."

"If they can take the lead with the infantry warriors, let the infantry warriors become the masters of the ant cavalry, and the soldier ants are only the source of power, this matter will be much simpler."

"That's right! There is no power sharing between the infantry warriors and the soldier ants, but a one-way force introduction from the soldier ants to the infantry soldiers, so that the ...... I think I have a way to make it happen. ”

Surdak looked at Aphrodite in disbelief and hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that you can make the soldier ants obey the command of the infantry soldiers, or can you transmit the power in the soldiers to the infantry soldiers?" ”

"These two things don't conflict, it's okay!" Aphrodite gave Surdak a blank look, and told him with the look that there was no need to make a choice in this question.

"I wonder what method you're using?" Surdak's heart skipped a jerk twice before he asked Aphrodite.

"Demon Pact!"

Aphrodite squinted at Surdak.

Then she added: "Under my auspices, let ordinary warriors and soldier ants sign a magic contract......"

She pulled out a magic scroll, the black scroll with a golden ornament on it, and it looked very high-end.

"It's a good idea, we can try it right away." Surdak agreed to Aphrodite's offer.

……

There was a 'poof......' sound by the river.

The big stick in Gulitham's hand made a huge splash in the river, and the head of a mola fish was smashed into a deep depression, and the cyan body of the fish floated up.

At the same time, the sound of the spell recited by the good brother Brain Flower stopped abruptly, and a ring of ice quickly spread out at the ogre's feet, instantly freezing the mola fish that had just wanted to escape.

Gulitham excitedly used the big stick in his hand to stun the mola fish in front of him one after another, and then pulled his slimy tail and threw it to the shore.

……

After crossing the river, the team prepares to return to the forest camp.

On the way, Surdak discussed the demonic pact with Aphrodite, and then expressed the idea to several of the Exploration Team's infantry fighters.

Several infantry warriors didn't seem to think much about it at all, and readily agreed to sign a contract with the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ants.

Afterwards, Surdak explained to them that this contract was a master-slave contract led by them, and if something happened in the future, even if the soldiers were accidentally killed in battle, it would not have any impact on the infantry soldiers.

While the group was still on the way, Aphrodite ran back to her rented house in Highlandsa City and drew five demonic contracts in one go.

Then he ran back through the Void Gate with these contracts.

Aphrodite then began to draw purple six-pointed star circles in the glades by the river, sprinkling the patterns with hexadian powder.

All the veins of this six-pointed star circle are light purple, and there are two centers in the veins, Aphrodite carefully repairs this magic circle, and then changes it little by little, until the whole circle begins to gather mana, Aphrodite is relieved, and stops.

The infantry warrior, who had been waiting for a long time, walked to the center of the circle according to Aphrodite's instructions, and the lines of magic lines rising from his feet wrapped around his body like ribbons.

Aphrodite looked at the Druilani ......

Under Lanny's order, the Ghost Soldier Ant walked into the circle, it looked very uncomfortable, and it was also very repulsed by the magic thread in the circle, and hesitated for a while every step it took.

Until the soldier ants and infantry warriors are standing in the designated positions.

Standing in front of them, Aphrodite unfolded a magic scroll and read the demonic contract to the infantry warriors in Chinese......

Surdak and Gulitham, Druilanni, and the rest of the Exploration Squad were all on the sidelines, their faces full of curiosity.

Surdak felt that the scene before him looked like a humble wedding, and Priest Aphrodite was asking routine questions and blessings to the two couples, and finally she signed the magic contract scroll with her hand with the name of the infantry warrior, and asked the soldier ants to press footprints on their nimble forelimbs.

As the magic scroll in Aphrodite's hand began to spontaneously combust, the contract ritual came to an end.

The magical threads that surrounded the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant began to flow and rotate continuously, and the lines contracted little by little, and finally tied to the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant like a rope.

These magical lines were like black shackles on the soldier ant's body, binding it completely.

The infantry warrior also left an eye-like symbol on his arm, and this demon contract was finally completed.

The ghost-patterned soldier ants left the six-pointed star array, and the infantry soldiers also walked out of the circle with some hesitation.

Surdak approached the infantry soldier and asked him, "What was special or strange about how he felt after signing this magic contract?"

The infantry soldier re-examined his body and found that there was nothing else unusual about it, and then moved his limbs again, jumping on the spot without any abnormality, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he was silent for a short while, and even closed his eyes and felt quietly.

Waiting for the infantry warrior to open his eyes, he said to Surdak:

"Now I can feel what it's thinking, we can't communicate in words, but I can send messages through the spirit, I can make him feel what I'm thinking, and I can command it to do something, I can feel his obedience."

As he spoke, the infantry soldier walked over to the ghost-patterned soldier ant.

When he stood in front of the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant, the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant happened to lean over and bow his head, and he stepped on the ant's forelimbs and jumped up easily.

……

For infantry fighters, this is an experience that has never been experienced before.

The moment he came into contact with the body of the Ghost Soldier Ant, a steady stream of power flowed from under his feet into his body, and it felt like Commander Surdak had activated his aura of enthusiasm, and he felt that his whole body was full of power.

The heavy standard armor on his body was no longer a burden to him.

The shield and heavy sword in his hand have also become much lighter, and there is no sluggishness when wielding the tower shield.

Even if you don't have to grasp the tentacles of the soldier ants, your feet can stand firmly on the top of the head of the ghost pattern soldier ants.

He didn't even need to grasp the tentacles of the soldier ants, he raised the heavy sword in his hand, and when the blade of the sword pointed, the soldiers ran forward with all their strength.

The refreshing feeling of his body gaining great strength made him want to let out a cry in his heart.

……

As the infantry warrior stood on top of the ant's head, Surdak could clearly see that the lines of magic that surrounded the ant's body swam slowly, and finally joined the feet of the infantry soldier.

And the power on the ghost pattern soldier ants is also constantly withdrawn from their bodies through these two magic threads.

At this moment, Surdak felt that this infantry warrior was an invincible heavy cavalry, and then he stood up with a shield and shouted at the ant cavalry warrior: "Come on, cut me with a sword!" ”

The infantry soldier standing on the ant was still in the excitement......

Without hesitation, he controlled the ghost-patterned soldier ant to turn around and rushed towards Surdak, he stood on the head of the soldier ant, his knees were slightly complete, and he leaned over to shift the center of gravity of his body slightly, and at the moment when the ghost-patterned soldier ant passed by Surdak, he decisively slashed the heavy sword in his hand towards Surdak's hideous bone shield.

While......

With a loud thud, the heavy sword bounced back from the bone shield, and the infantry soldier's arm holding the sword was raised high, but he still held the hilt tightly.

But the force of the violent shock formed a ring of wind, which suddenly spread outward.

Although it didn't leave any traces on the shield, it made Surdak take a small half step back, which can be described as full of strength.

The ant cavalry can have such a strong combat power, which immediately makes Surdak's heart happy.

Later, when he and Aphrodite continued to develop a large number of ant cavalry, they were told by Aphrodite that Aphrodite could only make thirteen of this kind of demon contract scrolls a day......
