On February 19th, in the early morning, 1 kilometer east of Xizhu Mountain, there was a tremor on the ground, and then hundreds of demon rats surrounded a house-sized high-level rat and fled in the direction of Zhushan.

The senior rat qi panted as he stretched out his head to bite the intermediate demon rat next to him and threw it behind him with all his might.

The high-level rats left a wide path in the woods, and soon a group of knights bypassed the middle-level demon rats that had fallen to the ground and drove behind the rats unhurriedly.

Although there were only 25 horsemen, they were all dressed in stubbornness, wind and fire magic elements, and they continued to condense in the sky above the 10 intermediate black-scaled horses and 10 beginner black-scaled horses, chopping up the branches above their heads.

The two elven descendants in the front row felt that their magic was sufficient, and they immediately bent their bows and arrows, injecting two flames into the rat colony not far away.

"Whoop~whoa"

Listening to the wailing sound in the distance, Neil at the head of the group was happy, and said to the elven descendants beside him: "Knight Wendu is really a master of bows and arrows!" ”

"Hey, it's got to be this black-scaled horse," the high-ranking knight named Windu also touted, "If it weren't for these black-scaled horses, I wouldn't have been able to shoot continuously." ”

On the other side of Neil, the silver knight of the leader, Saffren Helen, shouted, "Find a way to change the route of those rats, and you are about to enter the range of the West Pillar Mountain!" ”

"Look at me!" The other mage shouted, then drew a magic mark on his chest.

In an instant, fiery red magic elements converged from the horse's side to the mage's head, and a huge fireball flew forward with the wind, exploding less than 20 meters in front of the rat colony.

"Boom~"

"Whoa~"

The rats adjusted their direction in a panic, and they were originally about to reach the foot of Xizhu Mountain in another 300 meters, but now they turned to the south and continued to move forward.

The demon rat in the middle of the road, which had broken its neck, was quickly lifted up by the giant pack beast that followed it with its big horns and sent it to its back.

The pack beast that had harvested the big rat gradually slowed down, allowing the pack beast of the same level behind him to gradually take the lead, while he stopped to the side and waited for the carriage behind to follow.

"Driving~" In the middle of the 20 pack beasts, Xiaohua sat on her own pack beast named Brown Horn, commanding the beasts to follow unhurriedly, her barbarian rider's job is to use the earth magic patterns on the hooves of the intermediate pack beasts to re-harden the road, and by the way receive the loot that fell in front of her,

The pack beast carrying the demon rat on its back soon waited for a group of wagons, and the auxiliaries unloaded the demon rats onto the wide carts, allowing the pack beasts to return to the team in front of them.

The three teams of knights, barbarians, and auxiliaries drove the rats and opened a dirt road around Xizhu Mountain, and then returned to the Dongzhu Mountain camp at noon.

The current Dongzhu Mountain, compared with the spider nest just two days ago, has changed a lot: at the foot of the Zhushan Mountain, a camp like Xing 8 Castle has been established, and there are many city walls, tree houses, watchtowers, and warehouses.

As soon as Neil, Flower, and Tsavran Helen returned to the camp they were greeted by the elf Arvinne Golden Moon.

"How? You didn't have any accidents, did you? ”

"Rest assured," Neil said confidently, "exactly as expected, a group of rats will have at most one senior sitting, and will turn around and run away when they see our team." ”

"Hmph, that's because you didn't go deep under Pillar Mountain." Ya Wenni said casually, she is the person who has the most experience of the Pillar Mountain Demon Beast population.

Shafren took the conversation between Neil and Yaveni in his eyes, and he was also a colleague with Yawenny in the imperial capital, and it was rare to see this ice beauty take the initiative to pay attention to others.

However, after the events of the previous few days, the elven princess has changed slightly.

"If you want me to say, you should take advantage of the Elven Knights' vacation to take the West Pillar Mountain and the North Pillar Mountain in one go," Neil said nonchalantly, "If you take four mountains, you can build a city in the forest." ”

"Hehe, do you think those Demonic Beast Gods in the Central Forest are demonic tigers? So easy to talk to? Yavini retorted, "Rand is right, these pillar mountains are not difficult to take, but they are not easy to defend. ”

Although an agreement was reached with the royal family to relocate the four pillar mountains to the territory of Night Qi City, opening a spatial circle of this scale would require at least four magic furnaces to provide magic power at the same time, and the drawing of the circle would take several months.

Therefore, Rand decided not to attack the two pillar mountains in the west and north for the time being until the preparations were completely completed, but instead continued to send a team of knights who strengthened the magic archers and mages, and constantly reduced the demonic beast population of the two pillar mountains.

Such a combat operation, which is close to hunting, is also an excellent training opportunity, as well as a test of tactical tactics.

For example, this time, a team of 20 galloping knights strengthened a silver knight, two high-level magic archers and two high-level mages, which expanded the range of the knights' strikes, and also allowed the mid-level magic archers and mages to find the feeling of high-level.

"Captain Yawenni is right, there is no need to rush to take down the two mountains now, the central forest is no better than the plains, and the civilizations here can only rely on powerful demonic beasts or demonic plants." Saffron Helen agreed.

Two days ago, when Shaflon saw his former colleague Morris showing off the loot, although he was a little greedy, he didn't want to join the battle of Four Pillars Mountain, after all, he also knew about the formation of the knight regiment under Night Qi City, all the elven knights belonged to the elven knights, and he didn't have elven blood, so he couldn't get in at all.

However, when he went to eat in the Hall of the Thousand Towers at noon that day, a large group of Magisters found Shaflon and wanted to follow his path and let the children of each family participate in the Battle of the Four Pillars Mountain.

"Shafran, you have an idea, contact His Majesty Rand, can you let the members of our family participate!"

"Yes! You must have a channel of contact with Your Majesty, don't leave us alone! ”

Shafren looked at a group of demon masters who were in a hurry, and said helplessly: "Everyone, each of you is a child who is preparing to cultivate into a high-level child, and there will inevitably be a mistake in this battle!" ”

"Hey, Shafran, why are you so pedantic!" The Grand Magister of Clyrand said anxiously, "Why do we have only one high-level in these families? Isn't it that there are too few military achievements, and the resources that the family can give to future generations are too few?

Once you participate in the war of the elves, can't you get potions, magic plants, and even elven blood? Can you still be afraid that there is a lack of high-level at home? ”

"This ......" Saffren really didn't think about it, but his concern was whether these children of the Imperial Capital School could enter the Elven Knights.

That night, Rand told him the result, it was true that he could not enter the Elven Knights, but he could participate in the battle. Because Rand's Galloping Knights have to rotate with the Frostwolf Knights, Saffron can bring some mid-level as a reinforcement for the Knights' formation.

The 200-person knights are divided into 10 formations, and each formation needs a total of 5 support forces of high-level knights, middle-level magic archers and middle-level mages, which is also a considerable size of 50 people, of which 30 people can be served by family members of the Imperial Capital School, and the remaining 20 magic archers are the elven descendants of the Imperial Capital Knights, which is the reason why Shavron can fight under the West Pillar Mountain today.
