Chapter 1441 1428. Gunpowder
At the foot of the mountain on the east side of Moyunling.
Suldak climbed up a cliff, watching the magic flames bursting in the night sky to the south, his heart finally fell to the ground.
After finally contacting the magician investigation team, Suldak could even clearly feel that several evil generals were passing through the dense forest at high speed, constantly approaching his hiding place, and the low roars of evil spirits agitated in the valley .
A straight line appeared in the woods, and the evil ghost general knocked the trees in front of him tottering, and went straight to kill Suldak.
Samila squatted on the edge of the cliff, holding the Sky Strike Bow in her hand, watching the dense forest below the valley vigilantly.
The combat power of these ghost generals should not be underestimated. Every time they catch up, they will make Suldak and Samira very embarrassed. Yesterday morning, there were three ghost generals chasing Suldak and Samira. Crossed three ridges.
Three magicians rode magic scorpions to the canyon. Suldak stood on the top of the cliff and fired a magic flare into the sky again.
Guided by the magic flares, the mages rode their scorpions and rushed down towards the cliff where Suldak was located. A ghost general is at the bottom of the cliff at their feet, and the ghost general has begun to climb the rock wall.
They found traces of magicians appearing in the night sky, leaping up like mountain apes, each jumping a few meters high.
But the three magicians didn't stay in the sky at all. They flew to the top of the cliff without slowing down their flight speed. Instead, they stretched out their hands to greet Suldak and Samira and jumped onto the magic handle.
Samila has a flexible body, wearing a tight leather armor, standing on the edge of the cliff and jumping. The magician just flew in front of her, and Samira sat firmly on the back seat of the magic handle.
The magic horn paused slightly, and the magic pattern circle of the floating device suddenly lit up with three magic patterns. The magician lifted the steering wheel upwards, and the powerful magic booster pushed the two of them into the night sky.
In order to be able to lose weight properly, Suldak was not able to wear his set of Ethanhard's magic pattern structure, and only wore a salamander tight leather armor. He followed Samira and jumped to the second place. A flying magician...
When he was sitting firmly on the back seat of the magic bamboo handle, the evil ghost general at the bottom of the cliff jumped to the top of the cliff by one step.
It saw Suldak jumping onto the handle of the magic scorpion, stepping on the rock wall with his powerful legs, his body was like a taut spring, he jumped up, and grabbed at the soaring magician. go.
Suldak put his hand on the hilt of the broadsword at his waist, just waiting for the evil ghost general to approach, and then he slashed down with his sword.
Samira, who had already flown into the night sky, asked the magician who was carrying her to slide an arc in the sky. In the next second, she sat on the handle of the magic stick and pulled the sky-strike bow sideways. The magician heard a crisp gem shattering sound, and then felt that countless electric arcs around him were sucked to the tip of the feathered arrow.
An arrow filled with electric light and with powerful electric mana, shot towards the evil ghost general who jumped up below.
The arrow filled with electric arcs drew a white line in the night sky, and the moment the arrow hit the general, a bucket-thick bolt of lightning struck in the night sky, just hitting the general who jumped up from the cliff. .
A dark mask appeared on General Evil Ghost's body to block the lightning, but failed to leave Suldak who was only a short distance away. Falling from the bottom of the cliff at a depth of 100 meters.
At the same time, the void gate that lit up beside Suldak suddenly disappeared, and Aphrodite, who was in the rented house in Hailansa City, canceled the summoning circle.
Two magicians carried Suldak and Samira into the night sky, and under the **** of a magician, they circled from the east side of Moyun Ridge...
Flying all night, the two magicians started to slow down just after dawn, and controlled the magic horns to drill into a dense forest.
The mages set up a tent in the clearing, and flew Suldak and Samira all night. The two mages just said hello to Suldak, and hurried into the tent to meditate and recover. mana.
The magician who took the bye was in good condition. He set up a small pot in front of the tent, and did not cook anything. He boiled some hot water and made a small pot of coffee, and offered to give Suldak He and Samira each poured a glass.
Samila walked out of the camp with a coffee cup and a sky-strike bow on her back. She needed to check the surrounding situation.
Suldak sat opposite the young magician and chatted with him.
The character of this magician is quite cheerful, he smiled and said to Suldak:
"Commander Suerdak, the three of us have been flying in the northern mountainous area of Moyunling for nearly two weeks, and we will not be able to find you tonight. We are going back to the camp, in the northwest area of Moyunling The searching magicians will come here to replace us."
Suldak took a sip of the hot bitter coffee, and said to the magician: "When I designed this plan, I didn't expect that Moyun Ridge would be so big. Hundreds of kilometers away, if you want to find us in such a large area, it is not easy to contact us even with magic flares..."
The magician smiled and said nothing more.
"Master Basil, how is the situation in the camp?" Suldak remembered the name of the magician.
The magician Basil said: "The evil spirits don't seem to want us to block the mountain pass at the southern foot of Moyun Ridge. They are fighting almost every day. Their attacks are fierce and their numbers are large. Recently, there have been heavy casualties every day. Before we came out, there were less than 30,000 soldiers and ants left, and the heavy armored infantry regiment of the Lord's Army also suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, we buried the gunpowder barrels on the hillside in front of the garrison camp in advance. When you touch it, it’s all blown back.”
Suldak nodded, this was already in his expectation.
Since the Bena Army is going to capture Kornberg, it is no wonder that the evil ghost army on the Moyunling side is not in a hurry.
"Did the demon legion try to sneak through Gandar Er Mountain?" Suldak asked him.
"We only came out once before, but after being beaten back by Captain Andrew with the Ant Cavalry and Constructed Knights, we didn't dare to come out again." When Magician Basil said about Andrew, his tone was full of admiration.
It seems that many magicians in the investigation team admire Andrew very much, and appreciate his desperate and fierce fighting style.
"What's the situation in Handanar City?" Suldak didn't ask about the details of the battle, but asked about the situation in Handanar City.
The magician Basil continued: "It is said that the Benar Legion has crossed the Moss River across the board and has begun to enter the Seven Islands River Bay area in the north of Kornberg County. The cavalry regiment has rushed from Epsom County into Basa Musa County, and is advancing south along the Kempato River, and now the ghost army in each county is almost fighting independently."
Suldak listened to Basil's narration, and at the same time took out the map of Handanar County, wanting to see the current location of the Benar Army.
Although the Bena Army has crossed the Moss River, judging from the map, their advancing speed is not fast.
In order to divide the cake, the Cavalry Alliance pointed its sword at Basa Musa County, so that the pressure on the Bena Legion on the battlefield was not so great.
"Did the military headquarters say when the follow-up reinforcements will arrive?" Suldak asked again.
Basil shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of this, there is no such news in the latest intelligence..."
He was silent for a while, drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, and then said: "However, the number of catapults and bed crossbows sent up from Handanar City has increased to 300, and now there are half of the bed crossbow frames On the wall of the Moyunling camp."
Suldak knew in his heart that this time Duke Newman took out all his wealth.
What made him faintly worried was that the ghost pattern soldier ants were consumed a bit fast. Although it was planned before coming here, these soldier ants would serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield. Now Suldak is thinking that once the soldier ants are completely consumed , You need the heavy armored infantry regiment of the West Route Army to go up.
After resting for a day, in the evening, Suldak and Samira set off again.
The flying speed of the magic scorpion is not much slower than that of the magic airship. The only disadvantage is that it costs a magician...
The three mages took turns to fly at night. They hid in the jungle at the foot of the mountain to rest during the day, recovered their mana through meditation, and quietly lifted off at night. They stayed nocturnal like this for ten consecutive days.
Back to the foot of the southern foot of Moyunling, Suldak has been away for nearly two months this time.
…
The wooden fence in front of the barracks has been broken for a long time. The soldiers erected three rows of giant logs here, and a layer of wooden boards were nailed to the top of the giant logs to become a real wooden fence.
A bed crossbow was lined up on the wooden fence. Behind the bed crossbow was a stack of giant crossbow bolts, but these were ordinary crossbow bolts. Almost all the giant crossbows with magic circles attached to them were destroyed in the battle.
An earthen platform was built in front of the large tent of the military camp in the camp. There were densely packed catapults here, and the flint not far away seemed to be well prepared.
There were bursts of shouts and killings on the battlefield ahead, but the camp seemed very quiet. After eating in the cafeteria, the infantry soldiers who took turns had to stand in front of the merit redemption list for a while, discussing those who were still on the merit list. There are no redeemable rewards.
Recently, many magic weapons on the merit list have been exchanged by people. The prizes on the list have not been updated this month. Some infantry soldiers want to exchange for some selected magic weapons as soon as possible.
A low-lying valley below the hillside to the north of the garrison camp. There were some sparse trees here, but they were cut down by soldiers two months ago. Now this valley has become a battlefield. A group of heavy soldiers holding tower shields The armored infantry followed behind a row of ghost-pattern soldiers and ants, and were slowly approaching the group of ghost warriors in front.
The tower shield warriors were followed by a group of spear warriors holding Paglio's spears.
The archer phalanx at the back was formed temporarily. Although Suldak’s lord army had an archer corps, they did not follow this expedition to Moyun Ridge because the temporary teleportation circle could not pass through the armed Thunder Rhino.
The battlefield is already a piece of scorched earth, and the stumps of some evil spirits and soldier ants are still in the scorched earth. However, infantrymen who are injured or killed in battle will be carried back to the camp by soldiers from the logistics department. The infantrymen who died in battle will be burned to the ground that night. The ashes were put into jars, and the wounded infantrymen were sent to the medical team.
In this battle, the Ant Cavalry and Constructed Knights on the camp side did not dispatch.
The row of bed crossbows on the wall of the camp cannot reach the battlefield. Only the catapult at the gate of the camp can throw flints on the battlefield after adjusting the throwing distance.
Every day, evil spirits are crushed to death by flints. By now, these evil spirits have judged the range of the catapult. They didn't charge up because they didn't want to be hit by the flint rain.
They are waiting for the soldier ants to slowly approach. Only when they get entangled with the soldier ants for the first time, the catapults at the camp will not throw flints.
If Carrie Decker was in command, the army of soldiers and ants would definitely not be at the front of the battlefield at this time. She would patiently wait for the evil spirits to rush up and experience a wave of flint rain before starting a brutal melee.
But today's commander is Andrew, and there are wolf knight Tiger and two-headed ogre Gullitum by his side, so Andrew is going to give some color to the evil spirits this time...
As the number of evil spirits gathered at the southern foot of Moyunling is increasing, the usual war of attrition has been unable to restrain the increase in the number of evil spirits. If this continues, the number of evil spirits will become more and more obvious. That's why Andrew wanted to Fight a big battle on the battlefield.
When the soldiers and ants reached the center of the battlefield, the ghost warriors rushed up with big strides.
The archer phalanx at the rear shot out a rain of arrows, and more than a dozen magicians in the sky dropped explosive barrels one after another...
Due to the existence of magicians and explosive barrels, the camp of evil spirits was bombed by magicians almost every day, so that the group of evil spirits had to disperse and hide in the dense forest at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.
The soldier ants and the ghost warrior collided with each other the next moment, and countless soldier ants were chopped off by the ghost's war blade.
A group of spear warriors took the opportunity to emerge from behind the buttocks of the soldiers, and pierced the bodies of the evil spirits with their sharp Paglio spears, and then the shield warriors went up to the top, and the swordsmen behind cut off the heads of the evil spirits .
The battle was very fierce. The soldier ants in the front were strangled by the evil spirits. Under the order of the herald, the heavy armored infantry soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner.
The ghost warriors naturally refused to let this group of heavy armored infantry leave the battle easily, and the magicians who retreated behind the army released a wall of fire on the battlefield.
A group of unwilling ghost warriors fought their bodies to be ignited by the fire and broke through the wall of fire.
As the infantry soldiers kept retreating, the gunpowder kegs buried on the battlefield were detonated again, and the smoke and dust and splashing mud instantly engulfed these evil spirits...
