Chapter 1477: 1464. The unbearable past

  Chapter 1477 1464. Unbearable past events

The 300 bed crossbows on the cliff have almost become the nightmare of the evil ghost army. This time, Suldak bought 50,000 arrows of dual-attribute magic crossbows from the imperial capital. For this battle in the valley, 200 arrows were transported by four-wheel truck The giant crossbow bolts of the car and the bed crossbow leaning down the cliff are all giant crossbow bolts with double magic attributes of 'sharpness' and 'penetration'.

  Fireballs exploded into the sky in the night sky, and everywhere in the valley was as bright as day except for the place shrouded in the fog of war.

A crossbow arrow poured down from the cliff, and the ghost warriors in the valley were densely packed together. The bed crossbowmen didn't need to aim at all. As long as the auxiliary soldiers carrying the crossbow arrows could run faster, the operator twisted the winch with all his strength, The strings of the bed crossbow were pulled apart.

  The crossbow bolts shining with magical light kept pinning the evil spirits in the valley.

  The giant soldier ants moved forward. Although the fangs of the soldier ants could cut off the ghost warriors, they were too clumsy after all.

  Even in the fog of war, it acts as a human shield.

  The heavy armored infantry regiment behind followed up, stabbing out the spear in their hands, and the evil ghost soldiers trapped in the mist fell one by one.

The battle in the valley was very fierce, and the evil ghost army organized an effective counterattack at the beginning, but as the fog of war continued to erode, the last bit of fighting will of the evil ghost soldiers collapsed, and the evil ghosts in the valley halfway up the mountain collapsed. In a big rout.

  Countless evil ghost warriors rushed towards the northern exit of the valley, causing a large number of evil ghosts to congregate at the northern valley entrance.

   There may even be a stampede of more than a thousand people. As long as you fall down in the crowd of evil spirits, don't think about standing up when you are trampled by other evil spirits.

  The catapults of the West Route Army were long in coming, and they were re-set up at the entrance of the southern end of the valley just when the evil ghost army was about to evacuate from the valley.

Several evil ghost generals wanted to organize a group of evil ghost soldiers to fight back at the northern valley entrance, but as meteors and fire rained across the night sky, giant crossbow arrows continued to fall from the cliff, and the fog of war had not yet disappeared. Arriving at the valley entrance in the north, nearly half of the ghost warriors guarding here had been killed or injured.

  And the fog of war at night is like a huge harvester, constantly devouring those ghost soldiers...

  …

It took only one night for the West Route Army to successfully occupy the valley at the southern foot of Moyunling. Suldak ordered giant soldiers and heavy armored infantry to guard the northern exit of the valley. Build a wooden wall and transport the bed crossbow on the cliff to the north exit.

This is the gate to Moyun Ridge. Suldak plans to build a wooden wall with giant logs first, and then use rocks to build a stone wall at least 40 meters high outside the wooden wall to resist Moyun Ridge. Those evil spirits on the highlands.

   This time, the West Route Army was able to take down the valley in the middle of the mountain in the south of Moyunling. Apart from surprise, the West Route Army relied entirely on the fog of war of the Goddess of the Night...

  Once the senior executives of the evil ghost army on the Moyunling Highland react, they will definitely regain the valley halfway up the mountain.

The location here is too important. The occupation of the West Route Army here means that the army can freely enter the Moyunling Highlands, which will pose a huge threat to the evil spirits on the highlands. Therefore, the evil spirits will not let Sur Duck builds the pass.

  That's why Suldak just ended the battle, and when the heavy armored infantry soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, the infantry regiment soldiers behind came to the north exit of the valley and started cutting wood to build a wooden wall.

  Finally, it was dawn, and a ray of avatar descended from the Evernight Goddess floated away from Selena's body.

Selena collapsed on top of the giant soldier ant in a state of collapse. Fortunately, Suldak had been by Selena's side at this time. Knowing that her mental power was exhausted, he gave her a bottle of mental power potion. Then he took her down and asked Nika to carry Selena to the back with the members of the medical team.

  What she needs most now is a full rest...

  Nika ran around in the valley for a while, only to find that there were very few wounded soldiers on the battlefield in the valley, and the corpses of ghost soldiers were all over the ground.

Some giant ghost pattern soldier ants also died on the battlefield. The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment were quickly cleaning the battlefield. The limbs of the life magic pattern.

  The place where the fighting was more fierce was the dense forest on the **** behind the cliff on the east side.

  There were many injured Construct Knights and Ant Cavalry over there. The battle over there was quite fierce, and it seemed that many people from the Ant Cavalry regiment died.

   It was the first time for the aboriginal warriors to participate in such a large-scale battle, but they were responsible for protecting the catapult all night. It happened that there were not many evil spirits stationed on the high hills here, and the aboriginal warriors hardly suffered any casualties.

The two tribal elders even thought that they had received extra care from Suldak. After the war, they were still complaining to Suldak that some difficult tasks should be sent to their aboriginal fighters. These young aboriginal fighters still need more tempering.

  Suldak didn't explain anything, just nodded with a smile and agreed, next time for sure!

This battle in the valley was a big victory, and the harvest of the West Route Army almost made back all of Suldak's large purchases of military supplies this time. However, due to the relatively large amount of supplies purchased by Suldak, this This victory is only to allow Surdak to balance his income and expenditure.

  Next, Suldak also wanted to build a pass in the northern part of the valley, so as to block the counterattack of the evil spirit army in the Moyunling Highland.

  Building a strong pass also requires a huge investment of money.

  Now the entire Moyunling plateau has been completely opened to the West Route Army, and the defeated evil ghost legion is everywhere, but the West Route Army did not take this opportunity to send out Constructed Knights to pursue the victory.

The adventure group who waited at the foot of the mountain all night learned the news of the victory here, and a large number of adventure groups ran over from the barracks. Dozens of adventure group leaders petitioned Suldak, hoping to Enter the Moyunling highland through the valley, and continue to pursue those defeated ghost warriors.

  Of course Suldak will not stop them from doing this, but the entire valley is currently under the control of the West Route Army, and it is impossible for anyone else to enter except for the soldiers of the West Route Army.

   It will take at least half a day to clean the battlefield here, and there are still a large number of bed crossbows and catapults that need to be transported to the north exit.

  In order to effectively manage these adventure groups and prevent them from running around on the battlefield or even stealing things, Suldak specially opened a passage for these adventure groups.

And asked the West Lujin Logistics Department to set up a toll booth at the entrance to the southern end of the valley. All adventure groups who want to enter Moyun Ridge have to pay a construction fee here. The money is collected in units of heads. To enter Moyun Ridge, each person needs to pay a gold coin...

  The high fees made all the adventure groups startled, and everyone even secretly called Suldak a vampire bat in their hearts.

  But at this time, the evil ghost army just experienced an unprecedented defeat. As long as they can go to the Moyunling highlands, they are basically searching for those injured evil ghosts...

  This kind of opportunity may not be encountered several times in a lifetime. Those powerful and wealthy adventure groups heard the news, paid the fee without hesitation, and passed through the valley halfway up the mountain immediately after obtaining the pass.

   After chasing from the north exit of the valley, I saw a large number of fleeing ghost warriors on the hillsides on both sides of the mountain road ahead...

  …

   After a day of cleaning the battlefield here, the heads of all the ghost fighters have been put into the warehouse, and the achievements of each fighter have been recorded.

  As the hundreds of crossbows on the cliff were dragged to the north exit, the Constructed Knights rested all morning, and all the knights became full of fighting spirit...

Andrew rode his horse and ran to the north exit of the valley, and saw Carrie Decker and Samira were here. One of them was responsible for the construction of the wall, and the other was responsible for the temporary placement of the bed crossbow. The most basic fortifications.

   At least the ghost warriors can't destroy these precious bed crossbows as soon as they charge up.

  The bed crossbow is a powerful weapon against the attack of evil spirits. It is now deployed at the north exit, and with the help of giant soldier ants and heavy armored infantry soldiers, it can resist the counterattack of evil spirits in the next period of time.

  Samira is surveying the terrain here.

  Andrew hurried over and asked Samira:

   "Where's the boss?"

  The half-elf archer's expression was a little dull, and she couldn't see the joy of victory in her eyes. She said to Andrew very calmly:

   "I didn't say where I went, but it should appear in a while."

  Andrew jumped off his horse, handed the reins to the warrior next to him, and asked Samira:

   "Has the command post made a pursuit action plan?"

   At this time, Carrie Decker, who was explaining the matter to an officer, turned his head and replied with a smile:

   "On hold for now."

   "Stop chasing?" Andrew touched his forehead with one hand, and closed his eyes in an incomprehensible look.

   Carrie Decker nodded, and said 'hmm':

   "At present, the magician investigation team has begun to enter the Moyunling Highlands to investigate the terrain here and the number and distribution of the evil spirit army..."

  Andrew was a little furious, and the fighting spirit in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all. It seemed that he wanted to ask Suldak to make a theory.

  Carrie Decker immediately leaned over, put one hand on Andrew's shoulder, and whispered to him:

   "I advise you to be honest for the time being, the boss's mood is a bit wrong recently, he always thinks about things alone with a straight face..."

   "Really?" Andrew hesitated, thought for a while, and asked in a daze, "What does he usually look like?"

Carrie Decker glanced at Samira with a half-smile, and then said: "I'm very busy every day, and I'll stay with Selena and Aphrodite after I'm done. Oh, now I have to add Samira..."

   "...Hey, I didn't say anything." Samira protested coldly to Carrie Decker.

  Carrie Decker said without hesitation: "Well, this is not a bad thing."

  The three army commanders gathered together to chat in a low voice, and the surrounding officers didn't dare to approach them at all, and stood around quietly watching this side.

  …

  Suldak sat beside the cliff of a mountain ridge to the west of the valley, and he couldn't find any traces left here.

  The day he dumped kerosene and ignited the two-wheeled cart full of corpses, and now he just wanted to find the pile of ashes, even if it was a little bit of bones.

  But the rock wall here is already covered with knee-high fine thatch, as well as some thorny vines, wild flowers, moss and so on.

  He felt that the ashes had already been integrated into the grass and trees. There was almost nothing special about the cliff a few hundred meters away. There was a slight deviation in the location in his memory, and he didn't get anything for the whole afternoon.

  Selena stood quietly by the side, without any inquiries or relief.

  The golden sunset inlaid a golden border on her body, and she just silently followed behind the man who was walking back and forth across the grass.

  On the grass not far away, Signa was riding a pony, playing happily.

   Nika is not here, she will be very busy after every war, and today is no exception.

   Originally, at this time, Suldak should also be in the treatment tent, but this time he was a little confused, so he simply took Selina out for a walk.

  He found the battlefield in his memory, but he didn't expect that the fire burned so thoroughly that he couldn't even find half of the bones.

Right in the grass, he finally saw a sliver of metallic light. He pushed aside the grass and saw a few rusty armor pieces hidden in the soil. He took out a shovel from his magic belt and dug down, and saw again. A blade of the sword was so rusted that it was almost invisible, the spearhead left after the rotten wooden handle was covered with verdigris, and there were even two wheel frames that were almost rotten and not completely burned out.

   Several bones are not complete.

  Suldak thinks it should be right here.

  He lifted the sod here with a shovel and began to dig.

  Selena was also silently helping. When she saw some bones, she bent down to pick them out. She could see that Suldak was in a bad mood at the moment, and her eyes were full of nostalgia for the past.

  Thinking that someone he cared about must be buried here, he took out an unused picnic cloth and placed all the bones on it, including the scrap iron.

   Facing those human bones, Selena wasn't too afraid, and even used her hands to clean up the dirt on the bones.

   Suldak didn't stop until he dug a big hole here and couldn't find anything else of value.

   No coffin was prepared, it had already rotted to this extent, and many bones were even taken away by little beasts, making it incomplete.

Suldak rewrapped everything with Selina's tablecloth, then put it into the big pit he dug out, covered it with soil, and even piled up a round mound of soil, and A rock was also pressed on top of the mound.

  After building such a tomb, Suldak actually took out a tombstone that had been prepared a long time ago from his magic pocket, and even engraved the names of many people on it:

  Sidney, Bearded Cagle, Augustus, Craigie, Billy, Duck Jr.…

  After erecting the stele, Suldak sat down in front of the stele, his eyes slightly moist.

   At this time, Signa also calmed down, led the pony to Suldak's side, took the initiative to hold his big hand, and knelt down there.

  Selena also knelt down, and Suldak put his arms around Selena's soft shoulders and sat in front of the tombstone for a long time.

   Then he took the mother and daughter to the edge of the cliff not far away. Looking down from here, the bottom is not seen. The cliff is covered with dense bushes. His voice is a bit sad:

   "I jumped from here at the time. I grabbed some branches during the fall, and finally fell on the branches below, and escaped from here..."

   "I first fled to the forest farm camp, and found that there was also ruins there, so I immediately got into the big meadow."

"There I met Hathaway, the injured Beatrice, and Darcy Christie, but when Darcy Christie and her sister group left alone, I took Hathaway and Bea Triss, and the John I met in Epsom City, we ran south together, and we ran all the way to Handanal City."

   "There I got a pass for the portal. At the end of my military service, I saved another sum of money and left this plane..."
