Lord Highlander

When the news of Darcy Christie's critical illness reached Ruyt City...

Suldak is reorganizing thirty heavy armored infantry regiments.

These heavy armored infantry are the elite troops of the garrison on the Ganbu plane. They not only participated in the Demon Race on the Ganbu plane, but also performed very well on the battlefields of the Three Rivers Plain and the Dark Worm Valley on the Bailin plane.

Now after some recuperation and reorganization, it has become an elite infantry regiment of the Ganbu plane. Thirty heavy armored infantry regiments have a total of 45,000 people. This time, they will take the magic airship arranged by the military to the city of Bena.

These 30 heavy armored infantry regiments will temporarily live in a temporary barracks outside Bena City. Once the magicians of the Stargazer Union complete the magic teleportation array leading to Everson City, the heavy armored infantry will be The first batch of troops rushed to Everson City.

This time, the Eastern Route Army under the command of Suldak has a total strength of nearly 120,000 troops, and the heavy armored infantry regiment alone has a total of 100,000 troops.

Suldak has 45,000 direct-line infantry fighters, and the other 55,000 heavy-armored infantry fighters were assembled from the hands of the lords of Bena province after the military department issued a call-up order. , How much combat power they have is still unknown.

According to past practice, some heavy armored infantry regiments with no combat power are a group of cannon fodder on the battlefield.

But this time Suldak didn't intend to let them serve as cannon fodder, at least until the ghost pattern soldiers were all dead, Suldak would not withdraw them to serve as cannon fodder.

Since this is a call-up order issued by the military department, the military department will be responsible for the logistics support of the lord's army this time when the army marches on the Warsaw plane.

This includes the most troublesome transportation problems, including material transportation and army transportation.

The military department set up a temporary portal in Bena City, so it became very simple for the army to go from Bena City to Evelson City.

In addition, the lord's army of Suldak gathered from the city of Ruyt to the city of Bena, and the military headquarters also assumed the task of transporting the infantry regiment.

At this moment, there are sixty magic airships floating in the sky around the airport pier in Ruyt City. Since there is only one tower in the airport port of Ruyt City, and only two magic airships can be docked at the same time, the steps of the airport tower Crowded with long lines of heavy armored infantry soldiers, the infantry soldiers wore heavy armor, with craftsman's swords on their waists, spears on their shoulders, and tower shields on their backs, all of them looked like dark iron sheets can.

In addition to weapons and armor, each infantry soldier carried a bulging travel bag on his back, which contained seven days of marching rations, as well as field survival items such as sleeping bags and rainproof cloths.

Suldak's lord army has just experienced the Bailin Plane War, and each soldier has received a sum of money, so their bags are also bulging this time.

After the magical airships were filled with heavy armored infantry one after another, they immediately activated the floating devices with all their strength.

The magic airship rose slowly and disappeared into the clouds in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the magic airship soaring into the sky, the financial officer Kurt standing next to Suldak sighed: "The military department is really rich and powerful. They actually sent 60 magic airships and transported the infantry regiment to Bena at once. city!"

Xi Ya held a sheepskin booklet, looked up at the sky from behind Surdak, narrowed her big clear blue eyes and said:

"What's the airship? Isn't there a temporary teleportation circle in Bena City! That's a big deal!"

Kurt's financial officer bowed his head and calculated silently before asking Suldak:

"I heard that this time the 220,000 troops will all arrive in Evelson City through a temporary teleportation circle?"

Hearing Kurt's financial officer say this, Suldak realized that the military department was really willing to spend money so that the lords could go to the Warsaw plane this time.

Suldak remembered that he used the temporary teleportation circle built by the space magician Avid on the dry cloth plane, and a group of second-rank powerhouses sneaked into Mukuso City to arrest Lord Macdonald.

At that time, there were only more than forty second-rank powerhouses, and the military department spent a lot of money in transmission fees.

The temporary teleportation circle that is being built now actually needs to teleport 220,000 lord troops. Suldak was a little confused for a while, how many magic crystals would be burned!

"Although the large-scale temporary teleportation circle is expensive, the teleportation fee that needs to be spent is not as exaggerated as the small temporary teleportation circle. The magic spar burned by the space magic hub is constant every day, and the number of teleportation personnel reaches a certain number. When it is time, the transmission cost shared by each person is not so exaggerated..."

Everyone stood at the airport pier to discuss the transportation cost of the military department, and the president of the magic union personally explained it to everyone.

But everyone only understood the first few sentences, and few people on the field could understand the magic arrangement matrix and the space magic principle of building space bridges with magic hubs.

As for why the president of the magic guild is standing here, it is because the Ruyt magic guild sent 30 magicians to join the lord's army in Suldak for this expedition to the Warsaw plane. He came here to see him off. Those young magicians.

These magicians will once again form an independent aerial reconnaissance team to help Suldak detect the actual situation on the battlefield.

Facts have proved that throwing a few fireballs on the battlefield may not be able to turn the tide of the battle, but as long as the investigation work is done carefully, it will be of great help to the next battle.

Standing on the podium under the high tower of the airport pier, he remained silent until all the 45,000 heavy armored infantry fighters boarded the magic airship and ascended into the night sky. Then he turned around and said to Xi Ya, "Xi Ya Ya, prepare the magic caravan, I am going to Hailansa City..."

Xi Ya walked quickly to the gate of the airport terminal holding the sheepskin booklet, and soon a magic caravan stopped in Suldak.

Suldak got into the carriage without saying a word, and didn't even have time to say a few words of thanks to the president of the magic union. He just waved goodbye to them and hurriedly left the airport terminal.

"What's the matter?" Xi Ya sat opposite to Suldak, saw that Suldak's face was a bit ugly, and asked cautiously.

Suldak handed the letter paper to Sia.

Seeing the sentence on the letter paper, Xi Ya hurriedly asked, "How about Lord Consul Christie?"

Suldak shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation yet..."

...

Siya did not follow Suldak to Hailansa City, she wanted to stay and handle the daily affairs of the city hall on behalf of Suldak.

In fact, after the magic caravan drove out of Ruyt City overnight, Suldak chose to get off in a quiet place, and Xi Ya took the magic caravan back to the castle of Ruyt City.

Standing in the quiet forest, Suldak stepped into the void circle and came to Aphrodite's lava mine.

Seeing Suldak coming out of the void circle, Aphrodite put her daughter in the cradle and asked Suldak, "Why are you here? It's not that the army will be rectified recently, at least Will you be here in a few days?"

"An accident happened to Daxi, I have to go to Hailansa City to have a look!" Suldak didn't stay in the lava cave, he walked quickly to his daughter's cradle, reached out and picked up his daughter and walked by the lava pool After walking around, he kissed Nen.Nen's forehead again, and then put her back in the cradle with some reluctance.

Then Suldak walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, and Aphrodite sat on the recliner and reminded him: "There is a magic-weave horse prepared in the warehouse of the sulfur mine, you can ride that horse! Need me to come with you?"

Suldak waved his hands without looking back, and strode out of the lava mine.

Sure enough, just as Aphrodi said, there was actually a magic-weave warhorse in the stable next to the sulfur mine warehouse.

This kind of war horse with the "strength and tenacity" life magic pattern engraved on its leg is all from the town of Dodan on the Bailin plane. Aphrodite prepared a horse in the stable here, obviously also to deal with emergencies event.

The supervisor here saw Suldak coming in a hurry, and when he heard that he wanted to ride the magic-weave warhorse, he helped him out without hesitation.

Suldak got on his horse and rushed to the city of Hailansa without saying a word.

The overseer stood by the stable in a daze, but failed to say a word to Suldak. Seeing Suldak disappear in the rain of volcanic ash falling from the sky, he turned around and closed the door of the stable in frustration, and closed the door again. With a dust cover on the outside, he turned and returned to the work shed in resentment.

There are only less than a hundred kobold slaves left in the sulfur mine. Some of the remaining kobold slaves are building dams on the Bailin plane, and the other are building sky gardens in Ruyt City. As a result, the current situation of the sulfur mine is almost is discontinued.

...

When Suldak passed by Wall Village in the barren land, he didn't stop in Wall Village.

Instead, they rushed directly to the Paglos Pass. When they passed Wall Village, it happened to be at night, and the whole mountain village was surrounded by lights. The neat western-style buildings were all lit up, and even the surroundings of the free market were springing up like mushrooms. There are also many houses.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Wall Village is a bustling town. At night, some villagers gather in the free market open-air tavern at the entrance of the village to drink. The noisy and lively sound accompanied by the smell of ale can be heard far away.

The lights of Wall Village seem to be able to light up the entire valley, which makes Wall Village very beautiful at night.

When passing through the Paglos Pass, Suldak couldn't help but glanced at the top of the mountain on the left. Although everything was covered under the darkness, Suldak felt that the wooden crosses on the top of the mountain were still there, and The top of the mountain has even condensed a touch of death.

The mountain road at night is not easy to walk, although the mountain road in Oak Ridge will be repaired every year, after all, the mountain road is very rugged, Suldak can only slow down the speed of the magic pattern horse.

The entire dense forest was completely covered by the night, and Suerdak's thoughts returned to the days when he just returned to Hailansacheng...

At the beginning, he was just a reserve knight, and he was still running around between Hailansa City and Wall Village in order to fill the stomachs of the villagers of Wall and get a knight place. I remember meeting a gang of robbers at that time coming.

In the blink of an eye, this place has changed a lot, and countless young people from Wall Village have already walked out of this barren land.

But the gold and silver oak trees in the mountains have not changed in any way.

After running wildly all night, they finally arrived at Hailansa City in the early morning before the fog cleared.

The city of Hailansa on the mountainside was exposed above the thick fog. Suldak led his horse out of the thick fog, and then stood in front of the city gate drawbridge, looking up at the knights of the security brigade on the top of the city .

Although the guards on the city wall did not recognize Suldak at the first time, when they saw the panting magic-weave horse and the magic-weave structure on Suldak's body, these alone made him They opened the city gate an hour earlier, lowered the drawbridge, and invited Surdak to enter the city.

In Hailansa City in the morning, the nobles seemed to be lying on their beds at home dreaming sweet dreams, and the commoners were eating breakfast and getting ready to start their day's work.

And Suldak, who had been running continuously for a day and a night, walked non-stop through the central street with few pedestrians, and arrived at the castle of the Christie family, which was the highest in the city.

The situation inside the city seemed to be normal. When he came outside the castle of the Christie family, Suldak didn't even call for the door. The guards at the gate pushed open the outermost iron gate of the castle, and Suldak didn't get off his horse. , and went straight to the steps of the castle courtyard.

At this time, the steward of the castle hurried out of the castle hall with a group of servants, and a roll of carpet came out with them, rolling and paving a red road in front of Suldak.

Suldak handed over the reins to the servant at the side, stepped up the steps, and saw Karl running out from inside with a tired face.

"What happened, did the condition worsen last time?" Suldak saw Karl, first gave him a hug, and then asked him impatiently.

Karl shook his head, put his arm around Suldak's shoulder and said, "You'd better go in and have a look!"

"Seriously?" Suldak asked impatiently.

Carl nodded and said nothing.

Suldak quickened his pace and walked into the hall. At this time, Mrs. Marianne in a plain dress also came out from inside. Suldak glanced at her swollen belly, then at Karl, and said nothing. What.

"Dark, you've come over here, please save Daxi again!" Mrs. Mariana almost buried her hands in tears, begging Suldak.

"Where is Darcy, take me to see her..." Suldak said to Mrs. Mariana.

"What's going on?" Suldak asked Karl in a deep voice.

Karl sighed softly, and whispered to Suldak: "It's an assassination. On the way back to the castle from the city hall, Daxi was stabbed in the chest by an assassin hiding in the shadows. The assassin was on the spot. She just took poison and died, and now her injuries are very serious..."

Suldak didn't expect Dacie Christie to be assassinated, and the assassin died knowing he couldn't escape.

Looking at the dull atmosphere in the castle, Suldak's heart suddenly sank...
