Chapter 1409 1396. Devil's contract
Suldak squatted by the river, and peeled off the most valuable black devil skins from the ghost warriors. The remaining **** corpses were tied together by Gulitum with straw ropes and soaked in the clear river water. , A large amount of blood smudged by the river.
The two-headed ogre intends to drag the corpses of these evil spirits to the other side of the river. There are twelve ghost pattern soldier ants over there, and they don't care about the black air on the evil spirits.
The blood of the evil spirit spread in the river, and after a while, several huge shadows appeared under the sparkling water surface, with huge pike-shaped fish heads and octopus-like tails, and they were silent at the bottom of the river approaching.
It's just that they don't know that the river in this area is not that deep, especially when they reach the shore, the figure of the Mora fish can be clearly seen underwater.
The two-headed ogre brothers stood in the knee-deep river water. Seeing the shadow slowly approaching in the river, the two looked at each other, and saw a touch of excitement in each other's eyes.
Gulitum calmly raised the big stick in his hand, quietly waiting for the Mora fish to approach...
…
Aphrodite stood beside Suldak, and the river water kissed the gravel on the bank, making the sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak".
"Do you know the power of the Constructed Knight?" Aphrodite raised her head and asked Suldak.
It happened to be daytime in Hailansa City at this time, so she wore a long black dress and a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, reflecting the milk-like skin and exuding a faint luster.
Suldak remembered that when she first met Aphrodite, her complexion was dull and slightly dark, and she never thought that her complexion could change.
He felt that it was because he had just gone to an indigenous village and saw the dilapidated and scorched earth in the valley, which made his thoughts a little messy.
Suldak concentrated on thinking for a while before saying:
"Constructed knights are composed of elite first-rank warriors, excellent magic pattern armor, and high-quality scaled horses. That's why they are more than twice as powerful as ordinary heavy cavalry regiments and become the banner of the Grimm Empire."
Aphrodite smiled and said, "But if that's all, how can the Constructed Knight beat the Wolf Cavalry on the Pai Plateau?"
She reached out and took Surdak's arm, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"In fact, the most powerful part of the Constructed Knight is that it uses the Constructed Knight's magic pattern as a bridge to connect the knight and the war horse." Aphrodite added.
Of course Suldak understood what Aphrodite said.
He himself is a Rank 2 Constructed Knight.
He just didn't know what Aphrodite was going to say to him next.
Aphrodite glanced across the river, and landed on the ghost pattern soldier ants on the opposite side of the river bank.
Suldak also followed Aphrodite's gaze and saw a few ghost pattern soldiers lying on the boulders by the river, trying to touch the river surface with their tentacles on the top of their heads, but they were very afraid of water, and they only touched a little. The river will quickly shrink back.
"As for your ant cavalry?"
Aphrodite compared the constructed knights with the ant cavalry, and said to Suldak: "Ordinary heavy armored infantry fighters, standard heavy armor, the only thing that can be praised is these ghost pattern red ants. Ordinary infantry fighters themselves don't have many battles Not to mention wearing ordinary battle armor, these ant cavalry are not even comparable to heavy cavalry on the plain battlefield, and now they are exposed to be unable to ford."
These are facts.
In fact, what Suldak originally thought was very simple. He wanted the soldier ants to be able to carry infantry soldiers on their backs, so that they could be counted as a unit when passing through the portal.
It was later discovered that the ant cavalry has other advantages, which can not only save the soldiers' physical strength, but also increase the marching speed.
"Dark, have you ever thought about improving the combat power of the ant cavalry?" Aphrodite turned to look at Suldak's profile and asked him.
"My initial idea was to bring these 50,000 soldier ants to the battlefield of the Warsaw plane, and use them as cannon fodder to fight against the evil spirit army, but now their role seems to be much better than I expected." Suldak said frankly .
"Have you ever thought about... During the battle, the strength of the ghost-striped soldier ants and the heavy armored infantry are integrated, so... these ant cavalry will have enough combat power when facing the evil ghost warriors." Aphrodite Di narrowed his eyes, with a sly look in his eyes.
Suldak was moved, and asked very seriously: "So, how can the power between the two be integrated?"
He thought for a while, and then added: "Most of these heavy armored infantry fighters haven't made a breakthrough, and it's impossible for monsters to use magic patterns to build them. How can we help them build a bridge of strength? This should be an ivory tower." The topic that the group of inscription masters here are studying."
"Currently, the magic pattern structures made by these inscription masters in the empire have a high carrying capacity and are expensive. I can't afford so many magic pattern structures."
"Besides, even if ordinary fighters can wear magic pattern structures, I don't have enough gold coins to buy these magic pattern structures."
Aphrodite heard what Suldak said, and immediately said:
"These soldier ants are several grades stronger than heavy armored warriors in terms of strength and speed. In my opinion, ghost pattern soldier ants don't need infantry soldiers to send them power at all."
"So I don't think they need to build a bridge of strength between them. They should establish a master-slave relationship instead of sharing power."
"Ghost pattern soldier ants have always been used to accepting orders from the queen to fight. They are very powerful individually, but they are controlled by the queen's remote control during the battle, so they are very rigid."
"If the infantry fighters can be the leader among them, and the infantry fighters become the masters of the ant cavalry, and the soldier ants are only the source of power, this matter will be much simpler."
"That's right! The infantry soldiers and the soldier ants are not sharing power, but the soldier ants conduct one-way power introduction to the infantry soldiers. In this way... I think I have a way to achieve it."
Suldak looked at Aphrodite in disbelief, and hurriedly asked, "Do you mean that you can make the soldier ants obey the command of the infantry soldiers, or transmit the power in the soldier ants to the infantry soldiers?"
"These two things don't conflict, both are fine!" Aphrodite gave Suldak a white look, and told him that there was no need to make a choice on this issue.
"I want to know what method you used?" Suldak's heart beat twice before he asked Aphrodite.
"Devil Contract!"
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes and said to Suldak.
Then she added: "Under my auspices, let ordinary soldiers and soldier ants sign a magic contract..."
She took out a magic scroll. The black scroll had golden patterns on it, which looked very advanced.
"This idea is very good, we can try it immediately." Suldak agreed to Aphrodite's proposal.
…
There was a sound of "Plop..." by the river.
The big stick in Gulitum's hand made a huge splash in the river, a Mora fish was hit with a deep depression, and the blue fish floated up.
At the same time, the sound of the magic spell chanted by the good brother Naohuaer stopped abruptly, and an ice ring spread rapidly around the ogre's feet, freezing the mora fish that were just about to escape instantly. in place.
Gulitum excitedly used the big stick in his hand to stun the Mora fish one by one in front of him, and then flung their sticky tails to the shore.
…
After crossing the river, the exploration team was ready to return to the forest camp.
Suldak discussed this demon contract with Aphrodite on the road, and then expressed this idea to several infantry soldiers in the exploration team.
The infantry soldiers didn't seem to think too much at all, and readily agreed to sign a contract with the ghost pattern soldiers.
Subsequently, Suldak explained to them that this contract was a master-slave contract led by them, and if any problems occurred later, even if the soldier ants accidentally died in battle, it would not have any impact on the infantry soldiers.
While the group was still on the road, Aphrodite ran back to her rented house in Hailansa City and drew five devil contracts in one go.
Then he ran back through the void gate with these contracts.
Aphrodite then began to draw purple hexagram circles in the forest glade by the river, and sprinkled spar fine powder on these circle patterns.
All the lines of this hexagram circle are lavender, and two centers are shown in the lines. Aphrodite carefully repaired this magic circle, and then changed it little by little until the whole circle began to open. After continuously gathering magic power, Aphrodite was relieved and stopped.
The infantry soldier who had been waiting on the side for a long time walked to the center of the magic circle according to Aphrodite's instructions, and the lines of magic lines rising from his feet wrapped around his body like ribbons.
Aphrodite looked at Druilani...
Under Laney's order, the ghost pattern soldier ant walked into the magic circle. It seemed very uncomfortable, and it was also very repulsive to the magic threads in the magic circle. Every time it took a step, it would hesitate for a while.
Until the soldier ants and infantry fighters are all standing in the designated positions.
Standing in front of them, Aphrodite unfolded a magic scroll, and read the devil's contract to the infantry soldiers in Imperial language...
Suldak, Gullitum, Drew Illani, and the other infantry soldiers of the exploration team were all on the sidelines, their faces full of curiosity.
Suldak felt that the scene in front of him looked like a crude wedding. Priest Aphrodite was routinely asking and blessing the two newcomers. Finally, she signed the magic contract scroll on the infantry soldier's hand. Name, let the soldier ants use their flexible forelimbs to mark a footprint.
As the magic scroll in Aphrodite's hand began to ignite spontaneously, the contract ceremony came to an end.
The magic threads surrounding the ghost-patterned soldier ants began to flow and rotate continuously, the lines shrank a little bit, and finally tied to the ghost-patterned soldier ants like ropes.
These magic lines are like black shackles on the soldier ant, binding it completely.
The infantry soldier also left an eye-like symbol on his arm, and this devil's contract was finally fulfilled.
Ghost pattern soldiers and ants left the six-pointed star circle, and the infantry soldiers also walked out of the circle with some hesitation.
Suldak approached the infantry soldier and asked him: What special or strange feelings did you have after signing this magic contract?
The infantry soldier re-examined his body and found that there was no other abnormality in his body. Then he moved his limbs and jumped on the spot without any abnormalities, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he was silent for a while, and even closed his eyes to feel quietly.
After the infantry soldiers opened their eyes, they said to Suldak:
"Now I can feel what it's thinking, we can't communicate with words, but we can transmit information through the spirit, I can make him feel what I'm thinking, and I can order it to do something, I can feel his obedience .”
As he spoke, the infantry soldier walked towards the ghost pattern soldier ant.
When he was standing in front of the ghost-patterned soldier ant, the ghost-patterned soldier ant happened to bend over and lower its head, and he stepped on the soldier ant's forelimbs and jumped up easily.
…
For infantry fighters, this is an experience like never before.
The moment he touched the body of the Ghost-patterned Soldier Ant, a force flowed continuously from his feet into his whole body. It felt like Commander Suldak had activated the halo of enthusiasm, and he felt full of strength.
The heavy standard armor on his body is no longer a burden for him.
The shield and epee in his hand have also become much lighter, and there is no stagnation when swinging the tower shield.
Even if you don't need to grab the antennae of the soldier ant, you can still stand firmly on top of the ghost pattern soldier ant's head with both feet.
He didn't even need to grab the tentacles of the soldier ants, he raised the epee in his hand, pointed at the edge of the sword, and the soldier ants rushed forward with all their strength.
The exhilarating feeling after his body gained great strength made him want to let out a cry in his heart.
…
When the infantry soldier stood on top of the ghost-striped soldier ants, Suldak clearly saw the magic lines surrounding the ghost-striped soldier ants slowly swimming, and finally connected to the infantry soldier's feet.
The power of the ghost-pattern soldier ants is also continuously withdrawn from them through these two magic lines.
At this moment, Suldak felt that the infantry soldier was an invincible heavy cavalry soldier, and then he stood up with a shield, and shouted at the ant cavalry soldier: "Come on, cut me with a sword!"
The infantry soldier standing on the soldier ant is still excited...
Without hesitation, he controlled the ghost pattern soldier ant to turn its direction and rushed towards Suldak. He stood on the soldier ant's head, his knees were slightly full, and he bent down to let the body's center of gravity move down slightly. The moment he passed by Suldak, he decisively cut the heavy sword in his hand towards Suldak's hideous bone shield.
when…
With a loud muffled sound, the epee was bounced back by the bone shield, and the infantry soldier's arm holding the sword was raised high, but he still held the hilt tightly.
But the violent shock force formed a wind ring and spread out suddenly.
Although it failed to leave any marks on the shield, it made Suldak take a half step back, which can be described as full of strength.
Suldak was overjoyed that the ant cavalry had such a strong combat power.
Later, when he and Aphrodis continued to develop a large number of ant cavalry, Aphrodi was told that Aphrodis could only make thirteen scrolls of this kind of devil contract a day...
