During the period when the Western Route Army entered the Moyunling Heights, Surdak invested three large sums of money one after another.

The first was the provision of nearly 100,000 sets of fully reloaded armor and various armaments, including food, to the Egrod tribe...... It has almost exhausted all of Surdak's gains from the early battle with the demon army.

The second investment is to give 117,000 Gubolai war horses to the Aigrod tribe, if you want to say how big the loss of the reinforcements of Handanar City is in this expedition to Moyunling, not to mention the loss of other materials for the time being, just the 140,000 Gubolai war horses made up by the lords of Handanar County, their value is an astronomical amount, and it is about 350,000 magic crystals.

】

The third investment was the construction of fortresses in various areas of the Moyunling Highlands, in addition to the two walls of the Dak Valley and the North Mountain Pass, Surdak began to build the Gaogang Fortress, the Neihu Fortress, the Alinge River Fortress, and the Beiyuan Fortress......

Today, the walls of the Gaogang Fortress have been built on all sides, and there are even eight arrow towers built on the north wall of the fortress.

Each fortress requires a huge amount of expenses, the economy of the dry cloth plane has just recovered, and the mining revenue of the Bailin plane is not bad, but almost all the cash flow is invested in the development of the Dark Worm Valley, and Surdak does not plan to suck blood from there, so he has to find a way to find a way on the battlefield on this side of the Moyunling Heights.

Only by continuing to win can these fortresses continue to be built.

This time with Vorster. Marquis Nishizawa's trade in the Dark Crystal was also the money raised by Surdak for the construction of the Inner Lake Fortress.

This time, he even sold all the spoils of the Egrod tribe in Warsaw recently, so that he could raise this huge amount of money for the project.

And the construction of these fortresses, for the battle situation in the Moyunling Heights, also made the occupied area of the Western Route Army impregnable.

……

In the autumn of 2592, after the failure of the reinforcement plan for the Moyunling Heights, the noble lords of Handanar finally settled down a little.

In the House of Representatives, no nobleman would not open his eyes to the matter of seizing the territory of the Moyunling Heights.

Some of the city's preserved lords also sent their armies to Kornbergshire.

During this time, the Bednar Legion withdrew from the Warsaw plane one after another, and finally returned to the Roland continent as a victor, and I don't know how much bitterness there will be behind them when they stand in the sun and show the smile of the victor......

Before the noble lords of Handanar County could recover from the defeat in the battle of Moyunling Heights, the Duke of Newman issued another lordship order:

'If the demon legions on Moyun Ridge can be completely driven out, not only the Moyun Ridge Highlands, but also the Gandaur Mountains and the right to explore to the north belong to the Lord of Surdak. ’

The cashier is signed with the signature of the Duke of Newman.

Duke Newman no longer paid attention to the noble lords in Handanaar, and finally recognized the legitimacy of Surdak's expansion of territory in Moyun Ridge when the Bena Legion returned to Bennar Province en masse.

……

With the war fortresses on the Moyunling Heights, the ground was uplifted......

The demon leaders in the camp of Mount Horsens finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and they continued to send demon legions to try to obstruct the construction of the fortress, but the Western Route Army and the Aigorod tribe had already completed the layout of the first line of defense on the Moyunling Heights.

On the slopes north of the fortress are almost all fragments of bone armor left from the ghost warriors, who have left at least 5,000 corpses here, and have never found a chance to break through the highland fortress.

At this time, the high-level of the Demon Legion also knew that the battle situation in Moyunling was even hotter than imagined.

When the southern gate of the Moyunling Heights was conquered, the heights no longer belonged to the demons.

When the Western Route Army entered the Moyunling Heights, the Demon Legion had already shrunk the defense area first, ceding the eastern area of the Moyunling Heights to the Western Route Army.

As the Western Route Army and the Agrod Tribal Alliance Army held the two exits north and south of the high ground, completely trapping the demon legion on the high ground, the demon legion in the Horsens Mountains once again shrank the defensive area, so that the Western Route Army successively captured a large area of land south of the Mevajisi Gorge and the Vilagassi hills.

After the Agrod Tribal Alliance Army from the north gained a foothold in the North Pass camp, the Tribesmen's Western Expeditionary Army fought all the way to the source of the Alinge River.

As the demon army in the northern part of the highlands suffered several defeats one after another, the northern tundra, which had been firmly defended, had to give up most of it, and the remaining demon army retreated to the north of the North Sunderland Mountains.

The Agrod Tribal Alliance took the opportunity to occupy the center of the northern tundra, and according to Surdak's strategic deployment, the Egrod tribe was to build a third fortress in the northern tundra, and the location of the northern fortress happened to be Valentine. The meadow that the Marquis of Heller had chosen.

When the Horde Alliance arrived here, they could still see some traces of battle left on the grass.

The infantry soldiers of the reinforcements who had died in battle had been reduced to scattered bones, and there were some fragments of broken scale armor, deflated shields, and broken swords on the grass......

Just two weeks ago, the reinforcements of Handanar City and the Demon Legion were still fighting here for nearly half a month.

But now, not only have the reinforcements from Handanaar given up here, but even the demon legions have had to withdraw from this meadow to the foot of the North Senderland Mountains.

With the infinite support of the Wizard Combat Regiment, the Western Expeditionary Force of the Aigrod Tribe has steadily occupied the north bank of the Aringe River.

In Surdak's camp on the southern shore of the Inner Lake, the command post has received five reports of mid-air attacks on magicians in the past week.

Three of the attacking magicians were injured by evil spirits, and the incident directly made the magicians in the mage combat group feel a little worried, because the magicians themselves are very weak, and they thought that there would be no danger in flying in the air, but these several air attacks made the magicians understand that the sky of Moyunling is actually not so safe.

Seeing Surdak sitting on a chair checking the report, Selena, who walked into the tent with refreshments, asked with concern:

"What the hell is going on? I've heard that the mage group has been attacked by demons lately? ”

Surdak also scratched his head a little, took the refreshments handed over by Selena, pinched the corner of his eye on the table with one hand, and said:

"Probably because they feel that the existence of the mage group is a serious threat to them, and recently the Western Route Army has been able to quickly understand any battle information on the Moyunling Heights, causing the demon army to continue to shrink to the area of North Sendrand Mountain, so the demon army is also looking for a way to deal with the mage group."

"In order to curb the range of mages, there should be demons with flying abilities on the side of the demon legion."

Surdak's expression was a little solemn.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it may no longer be possible for magicians to go out on reconnaissance missions in pairs, and perhaps it would be safer to form a team of five.

The two were discussing it,

The leader of the mage group, Avid, and the half-elven archer Samira walked in from outside, and Samira carried a leather bag in her hand, which she casually threw in front of Surdak's desk, and then untied the rope tied to the pocket with her hands.

When the leather pouch was opened, it revealed a giant black bat that resembled a body covered in sharp scales.

If you look closely, you won't be a giant bat, but if you spread its wings widely, you'll see that it's more like a rainforest-like flying squirrel, and the creature has no wings, indicating that it has feather-like bone scarlets growing between its arms and legs, making it look like it has two pairs of wings.

And its face still looks like a demon, but it is put in a leather bag by Samira, and it is obviously not very large in size.

Compared with those demon warriors who are more than two meters five tall, this kind of evil ghost is only about one meter five, and the wingspan of bone wings can reach more than two meters.

Probably to lose weight in flight, this kind of demon is relatively light, mainly because the bone armor is relatively thin, and there are still three blood holes left in the chest of the demon, which should have been shot by a bow and arrow.

Looking at the sharp bone blades at the end of its wings, and a row of sharp teeth growing out of its mouth, you know that this demon's attack method is very simple.

Once the demon dies on the plane of Warsaw, the rate of decay will be very rapid, and at this moment this evil ghost has already emitted a foul smell.

After covering his mouth and nose and examining it, Surdak guessed and asked Samira, "The ...... who attacked the magician Is this the kind of evil spirit? ”

Samira nodded and said:

"Avid took me into the North Sunderland Ranges for a spin around the canyon, and when I flew at low altitude, there were a few of these creatures flying out of the cracks in the mountain wall, they were very weak in flight, but they could glide through the air, and they were very fast......"

"I shot three of them at the time, but unfortunately the other two fell down and couldn't be found, so I only brought back one relatively intact."

The magician Avid added: "If these demons are on the grassland, the flight distance is very short, the farthest is only two thousand meters, and their legs and arms are not yet able to fly long distances...... It should not be a fully evolved body. ”

"The few times our mage members have been attacked are in the North Sunderland Mountains, they usually hide in the crevices of the rock wall, and when they find the mage scouts, they will glide down from the height of the cliff in groups, they fly fast in the sky, and they are also very agile, and they can easily catch up with the magic handles."

"We've found that their weakness is that once the flight altitude of these demons is lowered, they can't regain their flight altitude unless they encounter a strong air flow in the canyon."

"So when we magicians find them, we can fly higher in time to avoid their surprise attacks."

Surdak put on his gloves and pinched the bony wings on the arms of the flying demons, repeating the words of the Elvid mage: "Insecure Evolutionary ......"

Avid replied:

"Well, according to the analysis of our mage group, this kind of evil ghost with flying ability should have just evolved, but the flying ability is still very weak, in fact, we found this kind of flying demon as early as two months ago, but the place where they were found at that time was still near Mount Horsens, and at that time they were also entrenched on the mountain wall near Mount Horsens."

"It's just that they were weaker at the time, and they could only jump from cliff to cliff, but they were faster than the demons they are now, and sometimes we couldn't even see their shadows, and they were good at hiding in rock crevices."

"When I found out about their existence, I forbade the magicians to reconnoiter the area, but I didn't expect that in just two months, they could fly farther."

Hearing the introduction of the magician Avid, Surdak was still a little worried in his heart.

Once the air superiority of the magicians is gone, it will be a great weakening for the Western Route Army.

However, as long as you think of the trouble that the magicians have brought to the demon army, you will not be so surprised that such a demon with the ability to fly appears in North Sunderland.

"As long as we take extra precautions, flying demons of this level cannot become a threat to us now, but what will happen in the future, it's hard to say at the moment."

The magician Arvid voiced his inner concern.

"The demon legion retreated to the area of the North Sunderland Mountains, presumably to avoid the aerial detection of the magicians." Surdak said.

The recent raids between Andrew and the Constructed Knights in the hills of Villagassi have actually been fueled by the Wizard Scouting Mission.

With its flexible mobility and powerful ability to chisel through, the Knights of Construct have almost become ghost assassins in the hills of Villagassi, and the demons can't stop it, hide and hide, and finally can only withdraw from the Villagassi hills and hide in the North Sunderland Mountains.

The Highland Fortress is now almost complete, and the fighting there has subsided two weeks ago.

The demon army roaming around the inner lake has recently been beaten back to the North Sunderland Mountains by Andrew's Constructed Knights, and Delia's escort has bypassed the inner lake and is operating in the northern tundra along the north shore of the North Lake.

The Agrod Tribal Confederate Army has also reached the central region of the northern tundra......

The Western Route Army and the Aigrod Tribe have already occupied three-quarters of the territory of the Moyunling Heights, and it is probably because they want to curb the pace of the Western Route Army's offensive that the Demon Legion will send out the flying demons that have not fully evolved.

However, in Surdak's strategy, there are no plans to attack the North Sunderland Mountains at this time.

The main thing is that the heavy infantry regiment is not good at mountain warfare, and in order to gain a certain advantage in mountain warfare, Surdak needs to form more ant cavalry.

But that would only have to wait for Aphrodite to make enough contract scrolls......

"Boss! Elder Ambrobi has arrived on the northern shore of the Inner Lake! Samira said to Surdak.

"Oh? It's coming so fast! Surdak stood up, picked up the Sheft Stanbu armor from the wooden frame on the side, and put it on with Selena's help.

Walking out of the command post, Selena, Samira, and the magician Arvid followed him.

The non-commissioned officers outside the tent saluted him when they saw Surdak coming out.

The guards led his Gubolian horse, and Surdak turned on his horse and ran east along the shore of the inner lake......
