Lord Highlander

In the evening, the last group of heavy armored infantry soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies back from the battlefield, and the heavy wooden gate of the garrison camp was tightly closed.

The group of ghost warriors scattered on the battlefield in the valley also retreated to the mountains and woods where they were hiding with deep roars.

Due to the repeated bombing by the mage group half a month ago, the evil ghost fighters have changed from a dense camp to a loose distribution in the dense forest on the hillside. magicians.

The evil spirits who had been taught a few times by the fog of war finally knew that their night battles had no chance of winning. After nightfall, these evil spirits would retreat back to the dense forest in Moyunling.

Every evening when the sun goes down is a rare rest time for soldiers.

The facilities in the garrison camp were gradually improved. Today's camp has not only built a dining hall, but also public toilets and bathrooms. The division of each legion's camp is also very clear.

Sitting and chatting in front of the merit list at the entrance of the canteen every day seems to have become a habit of the soldiers.

All fighters have recently been paying attention to the remaining prizes on the merit list. As the prizes become less and less, everyone finds that the options for rewards that they can redeem are getting smaller and smaller, except for those who are going to exchange for magic crystals or gold coins from the very beginning. That group of people, everyone else has a sense of urgency, and everyone is hurrying to raise merit these days.

The command post located in the center of the barracks is an independent area. A back-shaped wooden house is built here, with an inner courtyard of less than 200 square meters. This is an independent place for women.

On the commander's left is Nika's medical team treatment tent, and Nika and the group of therapists also live in the dormitory on the side of the command post.

During the recent period, almost every night a group of commanders from the legion gathered in the command post, some of them were reporting on the battle situation of the day, and the head of the mage, Avid, would provide the latest intelligence information to the commanders present.

The meeting was chaired by Andrew and Carrie Decker.

"Is there no news from Commander Suldak from the reconnaissance team?" Carrie Dekelpi pressed his forehead with one hand and asked the mage leader Evid.

Her blond hair cascaded down, she wore a light sheepskin waistcoat over baggy knickerbockers, and she smelled of post-bath soap.

There was a bandage on her right arm from the wound from yesterday's fight.

A ghost general cut a half-foot wound on her arm with a war blade, the wound was as deep as the bone.

If that evil ghost general had been more decisive and ruthless, Carrie Decker's arm would have been lost on the battlefield.

The magician Avid has been used to this kind of questioning recently, and he scratched his head helplessly. If it weren't for the scheduling work here that needs him to complete, at this moment, he can't wait to go to the north of Moyunling to transfer Sur Dak got it back.

"Well, I have sent out five search teams successively to search in the northern area of ​​Moyunling in turn, and have not received any news until now..."

Avid is sitting next to the sand table of the command post. This sand table has now completely reproduced the topographic map around Moyun Ridge, but the Moyun Ridge in the middle, which is shaped like a leg of lamb, is still blank, and only a continuous line of fine sand is piled up. mountains.

The magician investigation team has not yet flown to Moyun Ridge to go to the peak to investigate the situation there. It is estimated that Moyun Ridge is likely to be a plateau surrounded by mountains.

I knew that the magician Avid would say this, a group of regiment leaders and commanders all looked calm and expressionless.

"The powder kegs in the warehouse have been used up, and the next battle with the evil spirits is to consider how to get out of the battle." Selena sat beside Carrie Decker, holding a ledger in her hand, which was almost drawn It was full of horizontal lines, she had to remind the lords and commanders present.

Fortunately, the supply of food and general military supplies is sufficient, and these supplies are continuously shipped from Handanar City every week.

The Viscount Bansko is a small lord in the West Route Army. Recently, the Bansko lord led his heavy armored infantry regiment and performed extremely well on the battlefield. At least he has won the affirmation of other foreign lords and Andrew.

Viscount Bansko sat in front of the round table with a plate in front of him, put down the knife, wiped the bread crumbs from his beard, and said to everyone: "Recently, the number of evil spirits coming down from Moyun Ridge has increased dramatically. It can be seen that , Those are a group of evil spirits who haven’t had enough to eat, and it is estimated that the senior management of the evil spirit army is also giving it a go. Instead of starving to death on Moyun Ridge, it is better to transfer them to the battlefield.”

His lord army participated in the battle as the second echelon today, and he just came down from the battlefield at this moment, and he ran to the meeting before he could take off the magic pattern structure on his body.

"At present, there are more and more evil spirits entering the battlefield. If it weren't for the deterrence of the mage regiment's bombing group, these evil spirits are likely to become more unscrupulous." Another commander said worriedly.

The commanders in the command post started discussing in private, and everyone's tone was full of worries about the situation of the war.

Everyone has just gotten used to fighting with the soldier ants, but now it is obvious that the evil spirits on the opposite side cannot be suppressed...

"Then what are we going to do next?" Someone from the commander made a voice.

"Why don't we just stick to the barracks?" Some commanders also put forward their own ideas.

Andrew waved his hand and said, "I don't recommend sticking to it, how could this city be able to stop those evil spirits..."

The soul of a berserker is hidden in his body, it is impossible for him to shrink in the camp and be beaten passively.

"Nica, how is the situation at the wounded barracks?" Carrie Decker asked the good girl Nika who was sitting next to Selena.

Nika quickly stood up and said nervously: "The number of wounded soldiers has increased dramatically in the past week, and the number of wounded soldiers' battalions has expanded to seventeen. I have asked the druids from the southern tribe of Bailin to help heal the wounded. They are good at using Herbal treatment."

Everyone was relieved to hear that the medical team is still operating normally. This can be said to be one of the few good news.

"Anyway, we have to bury the last batch of explosives on the position tonight." Andrew asked Selena.

Selena could only nod her head, indicating that she understood.

Carrie Decker knocked on the table, and told the commanders of the heavy armored infantry regiments who will fight tomorrow:

"When we go to battle tomorrow, push all the more than forty spare bed crossbows in the camp to the battlefield."

Viscount Bansko frowned and said:

"The bed crossbow is so heavy, it's easy to push it out, but once the evil ghost rushes up, we won't be able to withdraw those bed crossbows even if we want to."

He was reluctant to discard the bed crossbow on the battlefield like this, and disagreed with Carrie Decker's approach.

A group of group leaders also echoed.

Carrie Decker knocked on the table to make the command post quiet, and then said: "If the bed crossbow is pulled by Gu Bolai's horse, it will indeed look very clumsy, but if those ant cavalry pull the bed crossbow to On the battlefield, when you want to evacuate, the ant cavalry will pull the bed crossbow back, so there is probably no such thing as 'inconvenient movement'."

Andrew's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "This is a way! You can try it tomorrow..."

...

After nightfall, bonfires were lit everywhere in the barracks.

There are a lot of pine trees in this mountain, and those pine trees full of oil are very flame-resistant, and even the air is filled with a pine oil fragrance.

When they arrived at the southern foot of Moyun Ridge, the three magicians began to travel during the day. They flew all day during the day, only stopping twice to drink water and eat dry food, and flew until it was completely dark before returning to the camp.

Although it was night, under the reflection of countless bonfires, Suldak could clearly see the scale of the entire garrison camp.

In just two months, the garrison camp on Moyun Ridge has been expanded into a large city that can accommodate 80,000 soldiers. The camp is very neatly planned, and each infantry regiment has its own area.

Originally, Suldak was planning to go directly back to the command post, but seeing the bright lights on the side of the camp warehouse, Selina was standing at the door of the warehouse and was counting the supplies by herself, so she asked the magician Basil to land on the side of the warehouse.

The guards in the camp didn't pay much attention when they saw a few magicians flying in.

...

The last batch of gunpowder was emptied by the infantry soldiers. Selina sighed, with a hint of anxiety on her brows.

Not only is he full of worries about the war in the next few days, but he is also worried about the safety of Suldak. In addition, the number of goddess visits has also decreased significantly in the recent period.

Seeing the last batch of gunpowder being brought out, she quickly adjusted her emotions to calm herself down.

Next, she will go outside the barracks to release the fog of war so that the soldiers can bury the gunpowder on the battlefield.

Recently, the soldiers have been sneaking out at night to bury the gunpowder in advance on the battlefield in front of the barracks.

Every time they fought against the evil spirits, the heavy armored infantry soldiers would retreat only after the ghost-patterned soldiers and ants in front were dead.

Of course, the ghost fighters will not allow the infantry soldiers to evacuate the battlefield easily. At this time, the magicians behind the battlefield will release the firewall to forcibly isolate them.

Once the ghost fighters rush through the wall of fire, the mages will ignite the explosives buried on the battlefield...

Because of the protection of the goddess of the night, the evil spirits have not dared to attack the camp at night for more than a month.

The eyes of the evil spirits ignore day and night, so they have an absolute advantage in night battles with the Imperial Lords.

But now facing the West Route Army, this advantage suddenly disappeared. When the West Route Army first built the barracks, every time the evil spirits attacked the camp at night, the entire army was wiped out. After a lesson of blood and tears, these ghost warriors became calm and refused to engage in night battles with the West Route Army.

Selena asked the warehouse guard to close the gate, and just as she was about to board the four-wheeled truck, she saw a familiar figure striding towards her. Before Selena could cover her surprised mouth, she was forcefully arms in his arms.

The infantry soldiers on the side saluted Suldak one after another...

Signa, who was following behind, rolled her eyes and stood speechless in the shadow of the carriage beside her.

...

After Suldak returned to the barracks, the heads of a group of infantry regiments and the commanders of the Lord's Army didn't even wait for him to take a rest, and they came to him one after another.

Before the plate of fried meat brought back from the canteen was finished, the heads of several infantry regiments walked into the command post. Gram march salute.

Immediately afterwards, another group of commanders of the Lord's Army came in, and many people came in one after another.

Suldak put down the knife and motioned for the commanders and regimental leaders to sit down.

He took a sip of sweet wine, then pointed to the first few group leaders who came in first, and asked: "What can you do with me, tell me quickly, so as not to affect everyone's rest..."

"Commander Suldak, we want to know if there will be rewards in the future of the merit list? At present, the prizes on the merit list have been almost exchanged, and some soldiers in the regiment who have not received the rewards have become impatient. "A group leader stood up and asked Suldak.

"Of course there is. There will be a new round of updates on the merit list tomorrow afternoon, and all rewards will be replaced with brand new rewards."

After finishing speaking, Suldak waved to the head of the regiment, indicating that he could retreat.

Immediately afterwards, another commander of the lord army squeezed forward, and said to Suldak with some embarrassment:

"Commander Suldak, our Bansko Lord Army wants to join the merit reward system..."

Suldak agreed very readily: "Of course, why...don't you want to persist? You should think about it. Once you join the merit reward system, you will have to pay the full amount of the Black Magic Crystal."

"I've thought about it a long time ago, and I've been waiting for your return." Viscount Bansko said with a dry smile.

Suldak figured it out without asking him why, and beckoned to the group of lords at the back to hurry up and talk about something.

Then several foreign lords from the West Route Army made the same request to him, and they all applied to join the merit exchange list, and Suldak agreed to them one by one.

Then he swallowed the last steak. The strong feeling of fullness made him a little sleepy, but he cheered up and said to a group of commanders and corps leaders in the command post:

"Since everyone is here, I will not convene another meeting. I will take this opportunity to tell you that this time I went to the northern mountains of Moyunling to investigate the distribution and specific strength of the aborigines there. I visited several aboriginal villages there, and the aboriginal population there is about 700,000 to 800,000, and this number does not include the aboriginals in the barren land to the north."

Hearing Suldak say that there are nearly a million aborigines hidden in the northern mountains of Moyunling, a group of lords and regiment leaders were a little surprised.

"They have also been fighting against the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge for the past few years. Now I have contacted the elders of this group of aborigines, and I plan to join forces with them to fight against the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge..."

"..."

After Suldak said this, the room fell silent instantly.

Everyone never expected that Suldak would form an alliance with the local aborigines...
