Chapter 1303 1290. Absorption
After discovering that the lord army was trying to enter the Dark Worm Valley through the cave, in order to prevent the invasion of the lord army, the ghost pattern red ants launched a fierce counterattack.
The cave was overwhelmed with ghost-pattern soldier ants, and they tried to recapture the cave with their numerical advantage. Most of Suldak's lord army were heavy armored infantry fighters, and their combat effectiveness was not that strong, but Suldak There are several second-rank powerhouses around him, and half of the Constructed Knights.
Under the leadership of Andrew, a heavy armored infantry regiment first seized the entrance outside the cave.
The ghost-patterned red ants launched a fierce counterattack. The heavy armored infantry regiment couldn't withstand the attack of the ghost-patterned soldier ants. Afterwards, Andrew transferred half of the armored knights to the battlefield, and immediately stabilized the battle situation at the mouth of the cave.
Later, the commanders of other lord armies also petitioned Suldak, hoping that their armies could also fight in the cave battlefield, so Suldak organized these lord armies into eight teams, and there would be four teams every day Alternate rotations appear on the cave battlefield, and it takes two days to complete a big rotation.
However, due to the unprecedented fierce resistance of ghost pattern soldiers here, not only casualties occurred every day, but also the lord army failed to capture the cave, and the battle has been dragging on at the entrance of the cave. Andrew and Tago led the Constructed Knights elite several times to repel the ghost-striped soldier ants, but every time the ghost-striped soldier ants changed their defenses, they were able to regain the lost positions.
After entering November, the temperature in the Bailin plane dropped suddenly, but the battle situation here has been in a stalemate.
Suldak's lord army fought with the ghost-striped soldiers and ants, and there were some new gains every day, but they couldn't break into the depths of the cave.
The military business group can buy hundreds of corpses of ghost-striped soldier ants almost every day, and some lucky infantry soldiers picked up some topaz-like gemstones from the cave. The pursuit of caravans.
In this way, many caravans and adventure groups appeared in the northern occupied area of the Bailin Plane this winter. It is said that the first adventure groups that followed the lord's army into the Three Rivers Plain had already made their first pot of gold at this time. The adventure group that entered the dark worm valley outside the mountain also made a lot of money.
On this long supply line through the Invercargill forest and hills and mountains, and the Dodan Canyon, there are almost everywhere trucks transporting supplies.
This war of planes is actually constantly extracting the wealth contained in the Dark Insect Valley, and the wealth itself is these ghost pattern soldiers.
This is also the original purpose of Suldak's original plan to come to the Bailin plane. He needs to raise a sum of money to invest in Ruyt City to change the city's current 'dirty and dilapidated' predicament. A hanging garden is built on the outer city wall. Only in this way can this ancient city attract some investors and tourists again.
One by one, the ghost pattern soldier ants were transported to Bena City, and their meat became a delicacy on people's tables, and the hard armor was sent to the leather workshop.
These hard armor leather is an excellent material for making war horse armor. At present, businessmen from the western provinces have gone to Bena Province, just wanting to purchase some of this kind of hard armor leather.
Suldak didn't know how many ghost pattern soldier ants were hiding in the dark worm valley.
Over the past month, the lord army has killed at least ten thousand ghost pattern soldier ants on the battlefield at the entrance of the cave.
Even Suldak threw some black powder kegs on the battlefield, but they couldn't make these ghost pattern soldiers ants who were fighting **** the battlefield retreat.
During this period of time, the ghost-striped male ants in the dark worm valley also often emerged from the ground. They often drilled out from the lake to attack the logistics supply line behind the lord's army, but Suldak was also prepared for this. The mage group has been investigating and monitoring all over the place. As long as these ghost-striped males dare to show their heads, they will soon be rushed to the battlefield by cavalry led by Samira or Carrie Decker, and deal with these ghost-striped males immediately. ant.
The magic core in the magic sealing box can be filled almost every few days, and the magic materials harvested in addition, sent to the merchants to exchange for gold coins, can completely offset the daily expenses of the lord army.
At the beginning of December, someone in the lord's army finally accumulated enough merit points to successfully exchange for the magic pattern structure on the list.
This swordsman, affectionately called the old cat by his companions, is just a swordsman at his peak, and he belongs to the commander of the 7th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment of the Lord Collins Army. The bee stinger and a sharp storm sword can almost kill the soldier ants indiscriminately. This month, more than 300 ghost pattern soldier ants died in his own hands alone.
His life-threatening fighting style also caused him to be injured repeatedly, and he would be sent to Suldak for treatment every time.
When he exchanged for the brand new magic pattern structure, he immediately ran to the gate of the barracks, and put the whole set of magic pattern structure on his body under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Many soldiers of the Lord Army cast envious eyes when they passed by him.
It was the magic pattern construction suit on the merit list that was exchanged, and those fighters who had accumulated a lot of merit in their hands took the next best thing and began to exchange other rewards.
Some people exchanged for a single magic pattern structure, some exchanged for magic weapons, and some even simply exchanged some magic crystals and sent them home through the military merchant group.
The profiteering side of the war was fully demonstrated in front of these lord army soldiers.
The soldiers of the lord army gradually became familiar with the way of fighting these ghost pattern soldiers, and the battle line of the lord army began to slowly advance into the cave.
In fact, the most difficult thing here is that those ghost-striped soldiers who just rushed to the front of the battlefield will pour the sour liquid accumulated in their stomachs to the lord army. Even a tower shield cannot completely block this corrosive liquid. All the soldiers that the ghost pattern soldier ants have fought will have this kind of corrosive wounds on their bodies.
Although not fatal, it is very painful.
Now, most of the entire battalion for the treatment of wounded soldiers is full of infantry soldiers whose skin has been burned and corroded, and even the bright red muscles and bones inside are exposed.
For Suldak, in this month's battle, he can be considered to have obtained some precious life magic lines from the occasional giant ghost pattern soldier ants. Originally, these life magic lines were to form the other half of the structure Knights, to strengthen those magic-weave warhorses and constructed knights, but now, Suldak will also implant these magic-weave life into wounded soldiers who have lost a large piece of skin.
Of course, Suldak will not take out these magic lines for free. These warriors who were cured after serious injuries will rejoin Suldak's lord army after their bodies recover...
