Chapter 1061 1047. Samp Town
In just a few days, adventure groups sprung up on the Sai Ruoman Plateau like mushrooms after a spring rain.
Along the way, three more merchant groups joined the caravans behind the Heavy Armored Infantry Legion one after another. Although the number of caravans following the legion increased to six, at present, the only ones that belong to the merchant group that follow the army are the merchants of Palme Bay. Group and Catcher in the Rye business group only.
However, Suldak did not object to the soldiers selling some loot in private, such as the claws and teeth of the Hellhound.
As for the head of the hellhound is a prohibited item, no matter who is in the barracks, the head of the hellhound must be handed over. This has become a military practice.
With the merit exchange list, there are rich rewards.
The soldiers in the heavy armored infantry regiment began to become more proactive. Although the exchange performance of the magic pattern structure on the first row of the exchange list was an astronomical figure for most heavy armored infantry fighters, they still There are many fighters who have dreams and work hard for it.
There is even a private rumor among the Legion that they don't want the war on the dry cloth plane to end too early, lest everyone can't exchange for the magic pattern structure.
In fact, after several battles with Lord McDonnell's army, Suldak not only pieced together 123 complete sets of magic pattern structures from the captured spoils, but also had more than 50 parts .
Suldak plans to put these spare parts on the merit exchange list one after another, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the heavy armored infantry regiment when fighting.
As the army continued to move eastward, more and more low-level demons were encountered along the way. Suldak had to send additional scout teams to clean up small groups of low-level demons around the army.
The terrain of the plateau is flat, but there are no trees, but overgrown with weeds. These low-level demons are all lurking in the grass, and it is a desolate scene as far as the eye can see.
As the adventure group keeps appearing around the army, they hunt in the wilderness during the day and return to the caravan camp at night. When they have harvested, they will go to the triangular tent. When the harvest is small, they will go to the mobile tavern of the merchant group to drink Xiaobei, the life of these members of the adventure group is free and easy, which makes the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry very envious.
…
In the past few days, the scouts have gradually discovered that if they patrol according to the established route, the team's harvest will be less and less day by day, and sometimes they can see the battlefield they just fought in front of them, and the purple blood has not coagulated.
The infantry scouting team in the legion didn't know who was always cutting off the prey that should belong to them, so they found the mage accompanying the army in the legion and asked them to help them investigate.
The mages fought a beautiful battle of annihilation in the northern canyon of Mount Myra, which was recognized by the soldiers of the legion. Recently, the two sides got along much more harmoniously.
Seeing the request from the scouting team of the infantry theater troupe, the mages rode magic handles on the next day, followed the scouting team's movement track, and conducted a reconnaissance in advance, only to discover the secret hidden inside.
In fact, this matter is related to those adventure groups, and one adventure group seems to have figured out the course of action of the infantry scout team.
They will run to the front of the scout team to hunt low-level demons.
In this way, even if you encounter danger, it doesn't matter, because there is a scout team coming behind you, as long as you persist for a while, you can get out of danger. will quickly run to the front...
The adventure group's approach is very doggy, but it is very safe.
The mages who were scouting in the sky were amazed... There are really all kinds of shameless people in the world.
After hearing the answers given by the mages, the scouting team immediately gathered a group of friends in the squadron after the patrol mission was over. They wanted to beat up these adventurers, but they were sent to Ned. Captain Mosby stopped in time.
Just kidding, beat all these adventure groups away, who would want to go to the plateau to clean up these demon garbage in the future.
However, you can't just let these adventure groups mess around like this. After all, if this kind of thing spreads, it will still damage the face of the heavy armored infantry regiment.
Captain Ned Mosby's solution is actually very simple, that is, ask the mages for help.
During the march of the legion, the main task of the mages is to ride the magic scorpion to the field to investigate the situation. They mainly detect whether there are large groups of low-level demons around. If a large number of low-level demons are found, Suldak will send The army cleaned it up in time.
Now, Captain Ned Mosby asked the mages to assist the scouting team and guide the scouting team in the sky. By temporarily changing the route, they can get rid of those adventure groups.
When the adventure group discovered that the scout team had thrown them far away, and the mages were flying through the air on magic scorpions, they knew that their small actions had long been in the eyes of others, and they were worried about the scout team. In the ensuing revenge, he honestly followed the business group for two days.
Found that this matter was not pursued, fortunately, the adventure group finally decided not to mess around like this anymore.
…
The melted snow water from the snowy mountains in the north converges to form the Norma River. This is the only big river on the Sai Ruoman Plateau. It almost cuts the Sai Ruoman Plateau into two halves, dividing it into the eastern plateau and the western plateau.
The reason why Samp Town can become the central town of the plateau is because there is Bellanoma Lake, the pearl of the plateau.
Lake Bellanoma is considered the second largest lake on the Ganbu plane. The town of Samp is at the exit of the river in the south of the lake, and the town of Samp is on the west bank of the large dam of Lake Bellanoma.
This large dam is also quite a bridge, connecting the east and west plateaus of Sai Ruoman.
Just because this is a transportation hub connecting the east and west plateaus, this town is considered the most prosperous central town among the fifteen small towns. Many nobles settled here, so this town is far more prosperous than other plateau small towns. town.
This is also the first small town where Suldak is responsible for the main attack. As for why the commanders of the legions gave up this place to Suldak, apart from Suldak being the supreme commander of the legion, he was also chosen by the Marquis Luther. people.
Plus he has a red dragon friend...
Although this does not mean that he will definitely become a dragon knight in the future, at least he is very hopeful to become a dragon knight.
Finally, there is another crucial reason, that is, the town of Samp has a city wall, just like the towns of Hatangada, Takale, and Bansko, Samp also has a city wall, and when this wall was first built, , even including half of Bellanoma Lake, and at the same time, it is integrated with the large dam.
The Legion arrived at the border of Sangpu Town, and Suldak found that the low-level demons here became very dense.
Even some adventure groups who rushed here first did not dare to easily enter the suburbs of Samp Town.
It is said that there are already three adventure groups who wanted to sneak into Samp Town to pick up garbage in advance, but they were discovered by the low-level demons and chased them all the way.
When they fled back to the caravan, many of these three adventure groups died.
There are some whitish feces and broken bones scattered in the wild grass, which are all left by hellhounds.
Due to the huge number of hellhounds, wherever they occupy, they will eat all the living people and animals in the local area as rations, and because there is always not enough food, their bite force is very amazing, and they will basically eat when they eat. Crack up the bones and swallow them in your stomach.
Therefore, complete skeletons are rarely seen in the wild grass. After the piles of feces are washed by the rain, only a piece of gray bone remains.
The low-level demons here seem to have mastered many skills in fighting humans. They often lurk in the wild grass, ambushing infantry scout teams and adventure groups.
When the infantry corps had just arrived at the border of Samp Town, the mage group had already brought back the images of Samp Town and Lake Bellanoma detected through the memory crystal to the camp.
There are two gates in Samp Town, namely the west gate and the east gate. If you want to enter Samp Town from the western plateau, you can only pass through the west gate. blood, collapsed in the city gate hole.
There are some torn armor and broken weapons scattered around the city wall.
There are nearly a thousand flame Gogs stationed on the city wall, and thousands of demon servants guarding the city wall. There are a large number of hellhounds and cryptmen entrenched in the city.
Suldak thought that the demons of **** would hoard heavily guards in Sangpu Town, but he didn't expect that there would be so many flame Gogs. Each Gog is a mage who can release small fireballs. Once these Gogs gather In groups, the threat to the siege fighters is still very huge.
Moreover, those demon servants also wore some blood-stained armor, which seemed to be taken off from the Samp guarding the city army. They were also equipped with some weapons in their hands, and piles of black oil were prepared on the top of the city. same thing.
Suldak has seen demon servants use this kind of black oil **** in other small towns. They will ignite these black oil **** before throwing them, but due to the limitation of their arms, this kind of fireballs can't be thrown very far.
If it is on the battlefield outside the city, these black oil **** may not be a threat in the hands of demon servants, and a round of arrow rain can shoot them down a large area.
But now they are standing on the city wall more than five meters high, and they can throw these black oil **** down from the city. Once these sticky black oil **** stick to their bodies, it is difficult to get rid of them. For city fighters, it is even more threatening than fireball.
With Suldak's current strength, it seems that it is not so easy to capture Sangpu Town.
Suldak asked Archmage Harper who was holding the magic memory crystal: "Master Harper, have you contacted Quintas Swordsman and Chester Swordsman from your mage group?"
Archmage Harper raised his head, the light red fire element in his eyes slowly disappeared, and said casually:
"Our people are on the other side of the Daxue Mountain, tracking the marks they left a few days ago."
Surdak nodded...
