Lord Highlander

The snow poured into the valley with the howling north wind, and the top of the mountain in the north was already covered with a thick layer of snow.

The heavy snow has formed a thick ice shell on the giant mushroom umbrella. People in the dark worm valley can see the ice and snow above their heads appear crystal clear in the sun as long as they look up.

Probably the ice layer blocks the north wind. Although the temperature in the Dark Insect Valley is low, it does not have the feeling of being cut by a wind blade in the extreme cold.

A large amount of sulfur was transported from Wall Village to the camp in the Dark Worm Valley. The magicians have been busy using sealing magic circles to seal the entrances of ant nests that were discovered one by one. According to Suldak’s request, There will be one or two ant nest openings in each area.

The rest are temporarily sealed with a sealing circle. It is said that this kind of circle can form a space-time gap in subspace. It is good that the ghost pattern red ants in the ant nest cannot come out. It will crash into the gap of sub-time and space, and the body will be crushed by the broken gap in an instant.

The biggest shortcoming of this sealing circle is that once a large number of ghost pattern red ants attack the circle, the circle will detonate and the seal will be lifted.

When the sealing magic circle exists, the strong sense of crisis brought about by the unstable space-time rift will make the magic circle infinitely magnified, which will naturally make the ghost pattern red ants back away.

After the magicians set up the sealing circle, they hurried to the next area.

Ten four-wheeled trucks filled with sulfur powder drove into the military camp in the Dark Worm Valley.

These brimstones were originally intended to be used to make black powder, and the escort on the four-wheeled truck was a young Vol villager—Gilt, who was sent to the Bailin plane by the old village chief Brett.

Along the way, I saw many novel things that I had never seen before.

He even knew for the first time that this world can be divided into several pieces of land.

According to Uncle Brett's request, he only needs to send the sulfur powder to Lord Suldak's barracks to complete the task. He followed the convoy into the barracks, only to find that the barracks are at least a dozen times larger than Wall Village. At that time, the tents of the barracks were neatly arranged under the mushroom trees.

Pairs of soldiers walked out of the barracks, and they stepped on the snow to the forest full of giant mushrooms.

Gilt originally imagined that he would be able to meet his friends in the village when he arrived at the military camp, but now his illusions were gradually disillusioned. This camp is really too big.

He was a little dizzy looking at the soldiers coming in and out of the barracks, envious of the heavy armor they wore, and when the carriage passed by the training ground, he even wanted to jump out of the carriage to see how sharp the spear on the weapon rack was. When the carriage passed a drying yard in the barracks, Gilt swallowed again and lowered his head when he saw the bandages and white sheets hanging on the clothesline...

The convoy stopped in front, and Gilt quickly jumped out of the truck, walked quickly to the front, and took out the voucher from Wall Village from his arms.

...

Finally, when the truck carrying the sulfur powder arrived at the barracks, it took more than a month for Suldak to send the news back to Wall Village through the pustule mountain.

Suldak looked at the young man who jumped out of the truck, and he looked familiar, but he couldn't call out his name no matter what.

"His name is Gilt." Selena stood beside Suldak and reminded her in a low voice.

Only then did Suldak stride up, and when Gilt was slightly in a daze, he patted him on the shoulder, and said very familiarly with him: "Gilt, Uncle Brett asked you to escort the car to bring these brimstones over. , Is there anything else you can tell me?"

Gilt replied without thinking: "Uncle Brett said that the production of sulfur mines is constantly decreasing, so you can save some time when using these sulfur powders..."

"Is everything okay in the village?"

Although he knew the current situation of Wall Village, Suldak still had to ask the question.

Gilt said to Suldak with a look of admiration: "Half of the villagers in our village have not done winter storage this winter, the market at the entrance of the village is too lively, you can buy everything, and everyone has a little money in their hands, so Life is very nourishing...”

Hearing Gilt's introduction, Surdak kept nodding, and seemed to be in a good mood.

But Suldak didn't stay here for too long, and was called away by the two commanders.

Immediately afterwards, several officers who came out of the barren land came over and greeted Gilt one after another.

Usually in the village, although everyone is not so familiar, but when they come to the battlefield, as long as they hear about things related to the barren land, they will feel very cordial.

Everyone chatted with Gilt for a while, and when they heard that the family was doing well, the mood of this group of people suddenly became much happier.

After the batch of sulfur powder was handed over to the warehouse manager in the barracks, everyone surrounded Gilt and left the material warehouse, took him to the camp cafeteria to eat something, and then brought him back to the barracks tent, preparing to let him stay in the barracks. Have a good night's rest here.

After everything was settled, we sat down and chatted together.

"Girt, do you want to go back to Wall Village this time?" an officer in the barren land asked.

Gilt looked around and replied, "Of course, Brother Suldak asked me to bring a batch of supplies back."

The officer on the side immediately stood up and corrected: "Hey, Gilt, you have to call him Lord Earl."

Seeing the approving expressions of the officers around him, Gilt nodded quickly and said, "Got it!"

Gilt smiled again and said to everyone: "By the way, I saw Selena."

Those officers stood up almost at the same time, and then corrected them solemnly: "Girt, you'd better not call her by her name directly in the future, you can call her Priest Selina."

"???"

Gilt looked at the group of fellow countrymen with a confused face. He was a little confused about how Selena became a priest...

...

A bag of sulfur mixed with charcoal was filled into the hole of the ant nest, and finally a large number of dead branches were thrown into it until the hole was completely filled with dead branches and rotten leaves. The torch in his hand went into the entrance of the ant nest, and lit the dead branch with some kerosene on it. After the fire started, someone took the opportunity to throw a rune metal plate of the Wind Control Art into it, and then used the frozen soil on the side to Re-bury the hole.

Puffs of pungent thick smoke continued to flow out along the cracks in the frozen soil, until the heavy armored infantry soldiers buried a small mound at the entrance of the ant nest, and the acrid smoke was completely sealed inside.

At the beginning, there was no movement in these ant nests that had been infused with sulfur powder.

At night, I felt that the entire valley of the Dark Worm Valley was shaking violently...
