Lord Highlander

Standing on the nearly sixty-five-meter-high arrow tower, Elder Ambroby could see the rolling hills to the north.

Although this is a valley in the middle of the mountain at the southern foot of Moyunling, it is also the south gate of Moyunling. Further north is a series of overlapping peaks, and the mountain roads leading to the highland of Moyunling are densely covered like spider webs.

As long as you walk out of the Dake Valley and want to enter the Moyunling Highlands, there are at least hundreds of passages...

Although such a tall and majestic city wall was built at the north exit of the valley, the city wall was even raised twice to resist evil spirits, but some traces of purple blood staining on the ground at the foot of the city wall can still be seen.

When Elder Ambroby saw this scene, he couldn't help but see a scene of bloody battle in his heart, and he didn't know how many evil ghost soldiers died here to create the scene in front of him.

Elder Domini who stood aside looked at Elder Ambrobi with a trace of hesitation in his eyes. He was full of worries about the cooperation between the tribe and the West Route Army.

However, among the elders, the voices of opposition are still a minority after all.

So this time Elder Domini wants to persuade Elder Ambroby to stay away from this group of cunning Green Empire people.

"Are they trustworthy?" Elder Domini's face was full of melancholy, and his face was a little loose and full of wrinkles.

It would be a big mistake if someone treats him as a terminally ill old man. For a great witch like him, he has long since broken free from the shackles of his lifespan.

Elder Ambroby turned his head to look at Elder Domini, and said firmly:

"Even for the 100,000 sets of heavy armor and weapons, we are worth the gamble."

"Moreover, this time is the best chance for us to restore the glory of the Aegrod clan in these years. For so long, we have been waiting for prophecies one after another, but unfortunately those prophecies never appeared..."

"And our heritage is also lost a little bit. Our tribe has even been forgotten by the whole world. Over the years, I have repeatedly thought about how to make the Aegrod clan rise. Now I have figured it out. Instead of waiting year after year Seeing the hero who can lead us out of the predicament appears, it is better for us to try to find our own way."

"Our tribal fighters are so brave. Our tribe has a large population. If we want the tribe to grow and develop, we have to go out from here. So what else are we afraid of?"

A look of fanaticism appeared in Elder Ambrodie's eyes.

Elder Domini also knows that this is probably the voice of most elders, especially when it comes to fighting these evil spirits.

In the past few years, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge have compressed the resources they depended on for survival, driven many tribes out of Moyun Ridge, and even forcibly occupied the northern part of Moyun Ridge.

If it weren't for the fact that there was always an imperial army in the south, the evil ghost army on Moyunling might have conquered their city a few years ago.

It is only in the past six months that the living conditions of the tribal people have improved.

"Then... then we will recruit another 100,000 soldiers and send them here?" Elder Domini frowned and said.

With so many tribal warriors traveling long distances, the materials they need to prepare are not a small expense. Originally, they have to recruit warriors and prepare rations for long-distance travel, which can even drag down some small tribes.

Elder Ambroby waved his hand and said:

"No, we keep one hundred thousand tribal warriors in the north."

The drooping eyelids of Elder Domini lifted suddenly, revealing a pair of amber eyes, and asked doubtfully:

"Stay in the north? Will Lord Suldak agree with us?"

"Of course he will..."

Elder Ambroby narrowed his eyes and said.

...

Elder Ambroby thought that everything in the barracks was very good, from the tents to the wagons, from the big iron pots in the mess hall to the showerheads in the bathroom walls.

Soldiers who have fought for a day return to the barracks, can drink a sip of hot soup, and take a hot bath if they have spare energy. This kind of marching life is much more enjoyable than tribal soldiers.

As for the rarer things in the marching rations, each small packet comes with a standard daily ration, and the wheat cakes, jerky and oil tea inside are almost rare and delicious.

At this moment, Elder Ambroby was sitting in the command post of Suldak, with a marching ration in front of him. He first ate a piece of crispy wheat cake, and then gave up the plan to taste the jerky, picked up a cup of The oil tea brewed in hot water took a sip like porridge.

This kind of camellia oleifera is fried wheat flour mixed with some butter and salt. When soldiers in the military camp smell this smell, their appetite will be halved immediately...

But in Elder Ambroby's opinion, this kind of marching ration is really a good thing.

Regarding the request made by Elder Ambrobi, Suldak still hesitated. Every mountain pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he wants to take the northern mountain pass of Moyunling from the hands of the evil ghost army, Suldak I don't know how many lives of aboriginal fighters need to be filled in to fight it down.

He hesitated and said:

"Fighting from the north may kill a lot of people."

Elder Ambrose said:

"If the equipment and weapons can be sent to the tribe as scheduled, I am sure that I can take the North Pass of Moyunling within two months."

Suldak walked to the front of the sand table, picked up a piece of wood and placed it across a mountain pass in the sand table.

In this way, the entire Moyun Ridge will be completely sealed.

"That's fine, if we can also block the exit to the north, then we can teach this army of evil spirits behind closed doors," Suldak said.

He felt that such a two-way attack from the north and the south might put more pressure on the evil spirits than from one direction.

"The weapons and equipment will not only be delivered as scheduled, but at that time, the Ant Cavalry Regiment and Constructed Knights of the West Route Army will also come to the North Pass of Moyunling to assist in the battle. We can trap the evil ghost army at the North Pass in the mountains and attack from front to back. Take Beishan Pass in one fell swoop."

Thinking of the aftermath of the war, Suldak said:

"At that time, I will bring craftsmen from the West Route Army over to help you build a city wall at Beishan Pass."

"In this way, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge will be completely unable to get out."

Hearing Suldak's quick promise, Elder Ambrobi felt a little unreal. He asked suspiciously:

"How can you benefit from helping us in this way?"

Suldak drew a circle on the entire area of ​​Moyunling in the sand table with his fingers, and said:

"This territory belongs to me in name, and the minerals here will also belong to me. I will also open a commercial road here. These will bring me huge profits in the future. In addition, my eyes are not here, but further north. The barbaric land, where the monsters and herbs are the scarcest commodities in the empire. In the future, my lord army may set foot on that land."

Elder Ambrose put down the teacup in his hand, and asked with some concern:

"Can my people really live here forever?"

"Unless the Grimm Empire ceases to exist, and the decrees of the noble lords are overturned, this place no longer belongs to me... otherwise you can live here forever." Suldak replied.

Seeing that Elder Ambroby still had doubts, Suldak decided to draw a big cake for him:

"We have occupied many planes, but basically we have built beautiful homes with the natives of the planes. Few lord armies will fight against hostile tribes for years. This is of no benefit to us, and it will involve a lot of energy. It is too large, or there is a huge conflict of interests between the two parties."

Suldak finally said:

"The world is so big, there is absolutely no need to fight to the death for a piece of land."

Hearing what Suldak said, Elder Ambroby was much relieved.

Afterwards, he talked with Suldak about the close cooperation between the two parties, and finalized all the details. Elder Ambrobbi finally signed a new contract with Suldak on behalf of the Agrod Clan. The magic contract against the evil spirit army came out.

With such a magical contract alone, Suldak expanded the total strength of the West Route Army to 300,000.

Moreover, the combat power of the aboriginal fighters is far from that of the heavy armored infantry fighters. Their own physical fitness is excellent. And sophisticated weapons, the combat power will be greatly improved at once.

After Elder Ambrobi left, Suldak stood in front of the sand table for a long time.

During this time, countless adventure groups entered the Moyunling highlands. They not only brought back the head of the evil spirit and the black magic crystal from the Moyunling highlands, but also brought back the raw ore they picked up in some places.

Suldak discovered that many places on the Moyunling Highlands actually had rich mineral resources.

There are not enough civilians in Suldak's territory, and probably no one is willing to move their home here, so even if he captures this place and applies for it as his own territory, after driving away these evil spirits, here It's just reduced to a no-man's land.

Then there will be a large number of business groups and adventure groups sneaking in to mine illegally, unless Suldak can build his own mine early.

If this group of tribes of the Aegrod clan were to settle here, then it would be natural for them to help take care of the mines on the high ground.

When Suldak's mining team comes to the Moyunling Highlands in the future, they will be able to hire local tribes and aborigines as miners...

It's actually not a big deal to give up the land here to the aborigines of the Aegrod clan.

In fact, Suldak thought so.

...

Elder Ambroby led a group of elders and left the Dak Valley in the south of Moyun Ridge.

They left with the magic contract signed with the West Route Army. When they returned to the tribe, they needed to gather 100,000 tribe warriors as soon as possible, while Suldak needed to gather 100,000 sets of equipment within two months, and To be sent to the tribe.

In addition to a full set of heavy armor, epee spear and alloy bow, Suldak also planned to equip these tribal warriors with skinning knives and water bottles.

In addition, Suldak promised Elder Ambrobi that he would give him 100,000 boxes of marching rations.

Don't look at these as small items, but after the number reaches 100,000 copies, it will be a considerable expense.

In fact, it was not because he had no place to spend his money, but mainly because he wanted to make this group of aboriginal fighters have enough physical strength to participate in the war.

He needed the merchant Malakom to go to Constantinople to buy a full set of weapons and equipment, so he wrote a letter to the merchant Malakom, and then mailed the letter from the city of Hailansa to the Bailin plane. It was twenty days later.

It is estimated that the time left for Malakom to purchase should not be too much, and all weapons and equipment will still have to be transported to Seablue City.

...

Elder Ambroby and his party came quietly, and then left quietly.

In the eyes of others, the battle situation on Moyun Ridge has been making no progress. There are more than 100,000 troops hoarded in this valley, and countless rations are consumed every day, but the commander of the West Route Army has not released the troops.

The busiest people in the West Route Army are the mages who have reconnaissance missions. The mages built a sand table for the entire Moyunling area in the command post. This is the seventh time to rectify the details. They even Clearly explore all the western garrisons of the evil ghost army.

Occasionally, Constructed Knights will go out to perform tasks, but these Constructed Knights will not enter the depths of Moyunling Highlands.

Almost all the people hunting in the Moyunling highlands are demon hunters in the adventure group, and they are everywhere in the mountains. They meet evil spirits in the highland wilderness, and there are both demon hunters and ghost hunters in the adventure group. In the game between people, it is always those who are resourceful and cautious will win the final victory.

The ghost hunters are also very vigilant guys, and their attack methods are extremely vicious.

Many times, life and death are in a single thought.

Some people cry and some laugh, the world is full of competition.

Because of the irrepressible greed in their hearts, many demon hunters sent themselves to the hands of evil spirits little by little, and became a meal in their hands.

There are also many witchers who have made a fortune hunting the evil spirits in the Moyunling Highlands.

Just when the West Route Army just conquered the Dak Valley, the adventure group at that time was almost all over the mountains and plains to pick up money. Now is the beginning of the hunting game. Both sides are hunters and prey. It depends on who is more ruthless. Spicy.

The losers leave sadly, and the successful people will have more followers. Many adventure groups have grown because of this, and the Hayes Adventure Group is one of the successful ones.

A large number of adventure groups gather here, and naturally many businessmen will follow.

The military buildings in this valley are far more decent than the garrison camp at the foot of the mountain. Of course, the merchants are not stupid. This place obviously has the original appearance of a military fortress, so the first tavern in the valley opened quietly.

Later, someone applied to build exquisite wooden houses in the valley. The wood would be planed into square pillars, and then stacked together one by one. Some wooden houses even had pointed attics. However, to build a house, you need to apply for the foundation of the West Route Army. .

A large number of people gather here every day, and the first hotel in Dak Valley was also built at this time, which was a three-story wooden building.

Trading firms also sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and built wooden houses in the valley one after another.

On the street opposite the barracks, there is a bustling commercial street. There are even more than a dozen restaurants on the street. You can almost find the flavors of Handanal City and Bena cities.

Even where you can eat soldier ant meat and evil ghost meat, these people eat almost everything...
