1559. Arms dealer
For the Bena Legion, the Moyunling Heights are like a scar engraved on the tip of the heart, which has become an indelible mark in memory.
In order to attack Moyunling, the first Bena Legion not only established a forest camp on the southern edge of the Gandaer Mountains, but also built a road for heavy cavalry to pass between the forest camp and Moyunling, and more than 10,000 cavalry participated in the first Moyunling Battle, including two armored knights and tens of thousands of heavy infantry regiments.
At that time, in the early days of the Moyunling Campaign, the heavy cavalry regiment was in the open land on the gentle slope at the foot of the Moyunling Mountain, and once inflicted heavy losses on the Moyunling Demon Legion.
It's just that the commander of the Moyunling Battle at that time was a little blind and believed too much in the combat power of the heavy cavalry, so that after the heavy cavalry regiment entered the mountainous area, it was dumpled by the demon legion in the canyon halfway up the mountainside, and all the ballista regiments and catapults behind were defeated.
The demon legions chased the Great Meadow all the way to the north bank of the Buruin River.
At this point, the Battle of Moyunling was declared a failure.
The second time Duke Newman learned the lesson of the first attack on Moyunling, gathered nearly 200,000 heavy infantry in the forest camp, trying to use the infantry regiment and the armored swordsman regiment to gain the initiative in mountain warfare.
It's a pity that there were a large number of demon generals in the demon army at that time, and the armored swordsman regiment could not take any advantage in mountain warfare, and the heavy armored infantry regiment that entered Moyun Ridge also suffered heavy losses for a time, and was finally forced to retreat to the forest camp.
In order to defend against this demon legion on Moyun Ridge, nearly half of the main force of the Bena Legion was pinned down in the northern part of Handanar County.
If it weren't for Ryan. Duke Bussman died of illness, and I am afraid that Duke Newman was still determined to mobilize reinforcements from the east and west from the province of Bena, and then form a Warsaw Plane Exploration Alliance with the cavalry alliance of the western provinces.
So far, the Legion of Bednar occupies two counties in the Warsaw plane. (Handanaarshire, Kornberg)
The territory of these two counties is almost larger than that of the province of Bena, and the Bena Legion has made a lot of money this time.
In addition, the lords in the Bena Legion also participated in the Battle of the Kempato River, and the Demon Legion in the Kempato River Valley is currently the largest demon army in the entire Warsaw Plane, not only the Knight Alliance and the Bena Lord Army participated in this battle, but also some other lord armies also joined it, but the strength was relatively average, and there was no sense of existence in the Battle of the Kempato River.
This time, Surdak led the Western Route Army not only to open the gate of the Moyunling Heights, but also to form a defensive line on the Moyunling Heights, trapping the demon legion in the North Sunderland Mountains completely.
This matter has spread in the circles of the various lords of the Warsaw plane, and the lord of Surdak has also become a topic of conversation among many nobles.
Surdak had planned to go home to visit his family as low-key as possible this time, and he didn't even plan to leave Moyunling and return to Highlandsa City directly through the Void Gate.
But he couldn't.
Not only did he need to attend some meetings held by local noble lords in Handanar City, Epson City, Ewalsen City, and Imperial Capital along the way, but he also had to preach some glorious moments in the Battle of Moyunling at the party.
The noble lords were very reluctant to deal with evil spirits, but they were most fond of talking about the heroic deeds of a certain legion commander at a party.
To them, Surdak, the young commander of the Western Route Army, was a paladin capable of performing miracle battles.
β¦β¦
No. 18, Laiyin Road, Handanaar City.
Peggy. The mansion of the Marquis de Bevis is brightly lit.
The four-storey square building was hosting a ball, and many of the noble lords of Handanar were invited.
Surdak was originally going to refuse, but Peggy. The carriage of the Marquis de Bivis followed them from the moment he entered Handanar City, and the butler even helped him contact the magic airship at the airport docks, so that the magic airship could delay its departure from Handanaar City by a day.
It was to get Peggy. With the help of the Marquis of Bivis, Surdak was able to board the magic airship smoothly.
Otherwise, the next magic airship will depart in nine days.
For Surdak, this is the starting point of the journey, and it can't be delayed for so many days so casually. The Marquis of Bevis handed over an olive branch, and Surdak had to show his goodwill at the right time.
Some things are like this, once you join a certain circle, you will become involuntary.
This time, Surdak came to Handanar City, and many noble lords who participated in the reinforcements of Handanar City watched coldly, and even secretly showed some hostility.
Although no nobles were in public to serve Surdak, there were many nobles who expressed great dissatisfaction with the Surdak lord at some private gatherings.
Peggy. The Marquis of Bivis had remained neutral until then, and his lord army had not joined the reinforcements of Handanaar.
Now the neutral faction representing Handanar City is giving Surdak a banquet, which can be regarded as showing the attitude of another group of nobles in Handanar City to this commander of the Western Route Army.
The Western Route Army was stationed in the area of the Gandaur Mountains, which was regarded as guarding the northern gate of Handanar County.
For the lords of Handanar County, Surdak's mood is like the color of the sky on the Great Meadow, when he is in a good mood, the Great Meadow is clear, and if anyone angers the Lord of Surdak, then the first to suffer are the inhabitants of the Great Meadow, whether nobles or commoners......
The Beavis family owns tens of thousands of hectares of pasture on the Great Meadow, where herds of cattle and sheep are located.
The Marquis of Bevis has many industries in Handanar City, and some of them also have a stake in the airport terminal, so he has a certain right to speak.
In the courtyard of the vestibule were dozens of ornate magic caravans, all decorated with gold and silver ornaments, and even some golden tassels on the roof of the carriage.
Seeing some precious scaly horses draped in heavy armor pulling these magic caravans, Surdak couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.
If such a magic caravan appeared on the Moyunling Heights, it would be a very good command vehicle.
The ornate hall is lit by magic lamps on the walls and dome around it, melodious music does not interfere with the conversation of the nobles, and the waiters hold trays of wines of all tastes, pastries and fruits, and delicate roasted meats exude aromas that stimulate the taste buds.
On the dance floor, some ladies and ladies dressed in fancy clothes were dancing, all smiling on their faces, and some kind greetings everywhere, even if they were rolling the sheets in a certain courtyard in the morning, and when they arrived at the ball, they would become unfamiliar strangers.
In recent years, it has been popular everywhere for noble ladies to study at the Swordsman Academy, and now it seems that it is too necessary.
Most of their aristocratic evening dresses were thin-waisted and low-cut, the harsh restraint bands that made their waists formidable, and if they hadn't learned the breathing techniques of a swordsman, they would probably have suffocated by lack of oxygen after a few steps, and those delicate crystal shoes required their bodies to have excellent balance to avoid hurting their ankles while dancing.
The nobles of the Green Empire admired low-cut dresses, it didn't matter if there was a chest or not, there would always be a restraint belt to help squeeze it.
Women are looking for sexy collarbones and rounded shoulders, swan-like slender necks, and no matter how flamboyantly dressed, these places don't need any extra accessories.
Some young aristocrats stood outside the dance floor with wine glasses and whispered conversations.
In the lounge area of the hall, in the ornate and high-end leather sofas, some noble lords sat and some noble ladies leaning on the backs and armrests of the sofas, all listening intently to Surdak's story.
The lady sitting next to Surdak happened to be Peggy. The Marquise de Bevis, and Peggy. The Marquis of Bivis sat on the sofa opposite Surdak, surrounded by some noble lords of Handanar City, including the head of the city security regiment and the commander of the guard battalion of Handanar City, and everyone listened attentively.
Surdak is talking about the battle that took place on the banks of the Bouruin River just over two months ago.
At that time, Handanar City also decisively sent a new army along the BrΓΌin River to the west, preparing to intercept the demon legions that rushed out of the Naroda Gorge.
Surdak tells the story of the Knights of the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army who joined forces to defeat the demons on the banks of the Bruin River.
That bloody battle had been a story in the aristocratic circles of Handanar for a long time, and even now there are people who occasionally talk about it......
Now the commander of the battle told the scene of the war and the plight faced by the armies of the East and West at that time, and everyone heard the version that was closest to the truth.
Of course Surdak won't say anything about Edmond. Marquis Arnold's opinion, as for the demon warriors in the demon army, of course, they are very fierce and terrifying, and they came to the Warsaw plane to eat people.
Everyone heard that the army that turned the tide of the war at that time was the Western Route Army's Constructed Knights and Monster Legion, and of course Surdak had to transform the Ghost Pattern Soldier Ant Legion at this time, otherwise the hat of the commander of a monster legion would be buttoned on his head, which would not sound good.
"At that time, the Eastern Route Army sent nearly 10,000 Constructed Knights, and our Western Route Army's Constructed Knights only had more than 1,000 people, and they just intercepted these demon vanguard troops from the front, and waited until the constructed knights of the Eastern Route Army rushed over to defeat the demon vanguard army ......in one fell swoop," Surdak modestly explained.
The leader of the City Security Regiment asked curiously, "Lord Surdak, can you elaborate on how your Constructed Knights intercepted these demon vanguards from the front?" β
"How can you intercept ......" Surdak was a little speechless, and complained in his heart: "Of course I rushed up and stabbed them with a knight's spear, can I still kneel on the ground and beg them?" β
Then I realized that it seemed that the noble lords' army on the side of Handanar City was not yet accustomed to fighting the demon legions head-on, even the well-equipped Constructed Knights.
"Oh, this...... Me too......"
Surdak hesitated for a moment, organized the language a little, and then explained seriously:
"I also made some preparations before coming to Warsaw, brought some armaments and materials from my hometown of Highlandsa City, and also invited some magicians from Highlandsa City and Luyint City, I formed a reconnaissance team of these magician nobles, not only can I easily control everything within a hundred miles, but these magicians can also provide me with some air fire support!"
As Surdak said this, the eyes of the surrounding nobles brightened and they let out some exclamations.
"These unique armaments are actually barrels of explosives."
"Well, let's put it this way, these powder kegs are more powerful than fire phosphorus bombs, I let these magicians fly into the sky, and then from a high altitude these powder kegs are thrown down, these powder kegs explode on the battlefield, and the camp of the demon legion becomes extremely chaotic, and the Knights of the Construct take this opportunity to rush forward, and there will be almost no resistance......"
Surdak described the role of the powder keg a little exaggerated, and the surrounding lords nodded.
I see! β
Everyone seemed to be excited as if they had found the password to success.
I think that if you want to copy the victory model of the Western Route Army, what you need to do now is to understand the powder keg in the mouth of Lord Surdak, and then go to have a good relationship with the group of magician nobles in the magic union, and everyone can make money together.
The head of the city's security regiment asked Surdak again:
"As we all know, how proud the magicians in the Magic Guild are that you were able to recruit them into your legion, Lord Surdak, how did you do that?"
Surdak patted the magic belt bag on his waist and replied with a smile: "The problems that can be solved with magic crystals are not problems, compared to those magic crystals, the magicians value the Warsaw plane's rich magical herbs and magic material resources more!" β
Peggy. The Marquise of Bevis interjected and asked, "The Imperial side has a certain quota for the supply of fire phosphorus bombs to each army, how did you get so many powder kegs that are more powerful than fire phosphorus bombs?" β
"There is a certain quota for phosphor bombs, but these powder kegs are not, and I think all of you here must not know much about powder kegs, and it just so happens that I carry a powder keg in my magic fanny pack, but ...... It's not a good fit here, if you're interested, I can put it outside in the courtyard......"
Surdak patted his waistpack again and said casually.
"Can you really take a look?" Head of the Security Corps.
"Absolutely." Surdak said, "If it wasn't for the place, I could even show you how powerful it was." β
"Commander Surdak, can you really test the power of the powder keg?" Head of the Security Corps.
"Yes, but it needs to be in the Proving Grounds, and if you show it here, it will ruin the garden of the Marquis of Bivis......"
Surdak stood up as he spoke, and the noble lords around him also stood up and walked out with Surdak.
Peggy. The Marquis of Bevis laughed and said, "The garden is so big, we can find an open place, speaking of which, we are quite curious about this powder keg of yours......"
