Chapter 1542: 1529. The Counterattack of Evil Ghosts
Chapter 1542 1529. Counterattack of evil spirits
In the Shankou West Road Army Camp in the south of Moyunling, as the Constructed Knights and the Heavy Armored Infantry Pioneers left one after another, the camp has gradually become deserted. The warehouses that the caravan hoarded here all indicated that this place would become the heart of the Moyunling Highland battlefield.
Whether it is the West Route Army, or the adventure group and the caravan, they all send a lot of blood to the entire highland from here.
Suldak was sitting in front of the round table. His eyes fell on the map. The map was messed up by countless red and black lines. Signa stood beside him, staring at Suldak with some boredom. She was just about to ride a horse. I went out for a stroll, and was called back by Suldak before I left the camp. I felt a little unhappy and wanted to complain to Suldak.
There are no evil spirits around here, so going out for a walk is no big deal.
Signa stared at Suldak with **** eyes, with a sullen little face, without saying a word.
Suldak deliberately pretended not to see her and left her there.
It wasn't until Selena walked in from the outside that Signa blinked, pouted, and put on a pitiful look of aggrievedness.
"What? Need me to explain where you went wrong?"
Selena glared at her daughter. If Suldak hadn't stopped her just now, she would have personally captured Signa and locked her in the warehouse to let her reflect on herself.
There are many adventure groups around the camp, and I don’t know how many eyes are staring at this place. Even if most of these adventure groups come to hunt evil spirits, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no adventure groups hiding some other thoughts.
These adventure groups are basically composed of some adventurers, demon hunters, and magicians, but there are also some slave traders hiding among them.
Most of the adventure groups are from Handanar City, and no one can guarantee that there are no noble lords of Handanar City mixed in here. If someone secretly captures Signa at this time, it will definitely affect Sur Dak, and even the entire process of the West Route Army's westward expedition.
So at this moment, Suldak didn't dare to let Signa run out to risk herself.
Andrew and Wolf Knight Tiger led the Constructed Knights and Ant Cavalry to the hills of Villagasi, and Carrie Decker led the Vanguard of the Heavy Armored Infantry to the Mevajisi Canyon. The cronies who stayed here were not Much, no one has time to stare at Signa.
Regarding these matters, Nika told Signa once in the morning.
Obviously Signa didn't take these words to heart.
Seeing her mother's stern face, Signa shrank her neck, completely acting like a sand chicken.
Suldak reached out and touched Signa's head, messing up her curly hair even more.
"Go and play, help Nika when you are free, and don't think about leaving the camp." Suldak said.
Signa knew that as long as Suldak spoke, even if her mother was not willing to let her go like this, she would not speak out against it.
When she raised her head, her face was filled with a sweet smile again, her big eyes were bent into crescent moons, she held the hem of the princess dress with both hands, curtseyed to Suldak, and said happily:
"knew!"
Turned around and ran out of the big tent of the military camp.
"You've spoiled her."
Selena complained to Suldak in a low voice.
"It's okay, Signa is smarter than we see, she's just a little playful."
After speaking, Suldak leaned back on the chair and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands.
Selina is in charge of the logistics of the entire West Route Army. The main force of the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment is about to go out. She is the busiest during this time, and she only stays in the big tent for a while before leaving in a hurry.
Not long after, Samira came in, followed by the herald who ran to the valley of the North Sunderland Mountains to deliver a letter to the Marquis Heller, the reinforcement commander of Handanal City. Surdak saluted, and then said:
"Commander, your letter has been delivered to Marquis Valentine Heller."
If there is letterhead, it must have been handed to Suldak by now.
"Um."
Suldak looked up at him and asked, "What did Marquis Heller say to you?"
The herald lowered his head, and said, "Marquis Heller just said that the situation is complicated, and the strength of the reinforcements is limited, so they may not arrive at Mount Horsens as scheduled."
There was a sudden silence in the tent.
The herald secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he didn't hear Suldak throwing the cup.
Regarding the reply given by the reinforcements in Handanal City, the herald was almost dumbfounded after hearing it. The Marquis told Commander Suldak clearly: "I will occupy the territory first, but I will fight the battle." It's best not to look for me, because looking for me... I won't help. '
Although that army is nominally a reinforcement of the West Route Army, if the other party really refuses to obey Suldak's order, the West Route Army really has nothing to do.
Do you want to bring this lawsuit to Duke Newman? Now Duke Newman may have to pass through the portal of Epsom City.
The House of Representatives in Handanal County is their territory, and Suldak doesn't even have to think about talking to those noble councilors...
"Understood, you have worked hard, go and rest." Suldak waved his hand and said to the herald.
The herald responded: "Yes, Commander."
After speaking, he turned around and left immediately, he didn't want to be affected by Yuchi.
Thinking that Suldak must be holding back his anger, the herald wished he could go faster.
Half-elf archer Samira folded her hands on her chest, stood beside the round table and said to Suldak: "It seems that, as you said, this Marquis of Heller will not fight with us."
"At least he didn't readily agree, and then stood still, at least he gave me some mental preparations." Suldak responded with a faint smile.
Since there is no expectation, there is not much disappointment, at least that Marquis Valentine Heller is still a real villain.
"What do we do next?" Samira asked.
Suldak didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and asked, "Where is Carrie Decker's vanguard now?"
Deep in Samira's slender fingers clicked on the map and said, "Here, the Mevaghisi Canyon is less than a hundred kilometers away,"
Suldak nodded, and continued:
"This battle is very important. I have to give enough confidence to the adventure group behind, so that they will become more courageous and spread out like fishing nets throughout the western part of the highlands, instead of huddling behind us and waiting like they are now. The situation has changed."
…
In the canyon of the North Sunderland Mountains, an infantry squadron won a small-scale encounter. Although there were some casualties, it also greatly increased the confidence of these infantry soldiers.
Every unidentified black magic crystal will be a glory. When this war is over, as long as they can return home safely, they will not need to pay taxes to the lord for at least five years.
The heavy-armored infantrymen continued to chase deep into the mountains along the bloodstains left by the evil spirits.
In their squadron, there are six experienced scouts in front of the scouts, who are always vigilant about the movement around them. Once they find a large number of evil spirits in front of them, everyone will immediately mount their horses and run back.
If you still meet a small group of evil spirits, you will naturally eat them in one bite.
Everyone came to the battlefield here to pick up a bargain. I heard that the adventure group of more than a dozen people can survive here, and the harvest is not bad. They, the heavy armored infantry fighters, will definitely not have any problems.
It is said that you can pick up the black magic crystal by just walking around on the Moyunling highlands. Now this rumor seems to be... so true.
After chasing forward for half a day, they still couldn't catch up with the six runaway ghosts. The squadron leader of the infantry squadron didn't want to leave the canyon mountain road too far, so he wanted to lead the squadron back.
Although the harvest this time was lower than expected, it was still a small success.
A group of heavy armored infantry soldiers rested for a while in a forest on the hillside. They boiled some water, ate some batter-like marching rations, and then planned to ride their horses and leave the mountain.
But before all the soldiers finished eating the marching rations in the lunch box, the infantry soldiers standing on the mountain ridge in the distance and responsible for sentry waved towards the woodland in a panic, then hurriedly pulled the reins of the horses beside them, and panicked. He wants to get on his horse and escape.
A black bone spear flew out from the other side of the ridge, and precisely pierced the back of the sentry infantry soldier. The sharp bone spear protruded from his chest, and pierced the horse's neck, killing him and the horse. string together.
The war horse neighed miserably, and fell down on the mountain ridge.
The rest area on Linzi's side immediately sounded a police whistle, and all the infantry soldiers put down their lunch boxes and picked up their weapons to prepare for the battle.
The squadron leader of the infantry regiment threw the lunch box in his hand at his feet and strode out of the woods.
Before he shouted 'ready to fight', he saw one, two, three appeared on the mountain ridge...
There was a whole row of ghost warriors covered in black bone armor. Holding bone spears in their hands, these ghost warriors almost rushed towards this forest. There were at least dozens of them.
"Everyone, get on your horses and retreat!"
The squadron leader shouted, turned around and ran towards Gu Bolai's horse beside him.
The heavy armored infantry soldiers in the woods were in a mess. At this time, no one was willing to fight to the death to block the evil spirits. Everyone went to find their own horses. They thought that as long as they got on the horses, they could get rid of them. They were already hungry and weak of evil spirits.
'whoosh whoosh'
Bone spears cut through the sky.
The evil spirits stood on the top of the mountain ridge and charged towards the forest below the hillside. These bone spears drew parabolas in the sky and fell continuously into the forest.
The throwing distance of these sharp bone spears was much farther than the squadron leader estimated. Before the heavy armored infantry soldiers rode out of the woods on horseback, some soldiers were pierced by the bone spears and fell from their horses.
There are also some Gubolai war horses that were pierced by bone spears and fell heavily on the grass slope. The infantry soldiers on the horses fell and rolled in embarrassment on the grass. It was impossible to get up and find the war horses. Those who can still run will desperately spread their legs to escape under the grass slope.
The squadron leader gritted his teeth and cut the rope of the luggage on the hook, letting the luggage hanging on the horse's buttocks fall. He just couldn't take off the heavy armor on the horse's back, otherwise he would not hesitate at this time take off.
If there were more than 20 evil spirits, they might still be able to fight, but dozens of evil spirits suddenly appeared on this mountain ridge, and the manpower around them was not even enough for these evil spirits to fight their teeth. What?
He grabbed the reins with one hand, and fumbled for the buckle of the breastplate with the other hand, took off the breastplate and threw it away, as well as the bulky shield...
When he rushed out of the woods, the squadron leader had already rushed to the front of a group of heavy armored infantry soldiers.
The physical strength of these old horses could not support the infantry soldiers wearing heavy armor to run wildly on the grass, even downhill. The squadron leader knew this very well, and he did not hesitate to reduce all the weight that could be lost.
Other infantry fighters were not as skilled as he was. Those evil spirits on the mountain ridge roared at the top of their lungs, striding forward to catch up with all their might.
A bone spear took away the lives of the infantry soldiers. After the squadron leader rode the ancient Bolai horse to completely shake off the evil spirits, and then counted the surviving infantry soldiers around him, he found that there were less than 20 infantry soldiers left. There were more than 30 war horses that ran out.
Those evil spirits stopped chasing them a long time ago. They stayed on the battlefield on the hillside. A group of them were squatting on the grass, almost half-kneeling in front of the corpses of infantry soldiers and horses. His long tongue curled up the blood gushing from the wound.
Their bodies seemed to be shaking constantly, and the bone armor made a crackling sound.
When a heavy armored infantry squadron of more than a hundred men encountered dozens of evil spirits, it was almost powerless to fight, and was chased by these evil spirits and fled in all directions.
It's a pity that they wear heavy armor, even if they have war horses, they can't escape, and one after another they become a delicious meal for the evil spirits.
The ghost fighters didn't chase too far at all, they stopped when they found enough food, and bursts of low-pitched howls came from the mountains far away...
It was heard that the legs of the twenty or so surviving infantry soldiers were weak, and they might not be able to walk if they were not riding on horseback.
…
They are a group of ghost warriors who fled into the North Sunderland Mountains after being defeated in the Battle of the North Pass.
Being chased all the way by those terrifying constructed knights, they can only run as hard as they can, and they don't need to run very fast, as long as they are a little faster than their companions.
Later, those Constructed Knights stopped chasing, and they met a group of adventure groups looking for single evil spirits everywhere. They suddenly found that only by keeping a group together can they avoid being hunted by those adventure groups, and they hurriedly hid in the mountains of North Sunderland. , and I was so scared to death that there was nothing to eat in this barren mountain.
They could only eat moss and gnaw bark. Just when they felt that they were about to die, a heavy armored infantry regiment suddenly appeared in the canyon.
At first, they were scared and hid deep in the mountains, and then they found that the heavy armored infantry fighters formed a team and dispersed into the mountains around the canyon, and then some heavy armored infantry found the evil spirits hiding in the woods.
When these evil spirits started fighting, they thought they would run away if they couldn't beat them, but when they fought, they found that... these heavy armored infantry soldiers didn't seem to be as strong as the infantry soldiers they met before.
So the evil spirits tried to fight back, and the battle went smoothly. Not only did they kill nearly a hundred infantry soldiers, but they also killed many horses.
All the evil spirits began to squat on the battlefield to eat, and they haven't been able to eat a full meal for a long time.
The smell of human blood made them crazier, and they let out a low growl of call.
The evil ghost warriors in the distant forest heard the roar, and they all turned around and walked towards the place where the sound came from...
