Chapter 1482 1469. Army
Standing on the nearly sixty-five-meter-high arrow tower, Elder Ambrose could see the rolling hills to the north.
Although this is a valley in the middle of the mountain at the southern foot of Moyunling, it is also the south gate of Moyunling, and further north is a series of overlapping peaks.
As long as you walk out of the Dake Valley and want to enter the Moyunling Highlands, there are at least hundreds of passages...
Although such a tall and magnificent city wall was built at the north exit of the valley, in order to resist evil spirits, the city wall was even raised twice, but some traces of purple blood staining on the ground at the foot of the city wall can still be seen.
Elder Ambroby saw this scene, and couldn't help but see a **** battle in his heart. He didn't know how many ghost soldiers died here to create this scene.
Elder Domini who stood aside looked at Elder Ambrobi with a trace of hesitation in his eyes. He was full of worries about the cooperation between the tribe and the West Route Army.
However, among the elders, the voices of opposition are still a minority
So this time Elder Domini wants to persuade Elder Ambroby to stay away from this group of cunning Green Empire people.
"Are they trustworthy?" Elder Domini's face was full of melancholy, and his face was a little loose and full of wrinkles.
If someone treats him as a terminally ill old man, it would be a big mistake. For a great witch like him, he has long since broken free from the shackles of his lifespan.
Elder Ambroby turned his head to look at Elder Domini, and said firmly:
"Even for the 100,000 sets of heavy armor and weapons, we are worth a gamble."
"Besides, this is the time that we have the best chance to restore the glory of the Aegrod clan in these years. For so long, we have been waiting for prophecies one after another, but unfortunately those prophecies never appeared..."
"And our heritage is also lost a little bit. Our tribe has even been forgotten by the whole world. Over the years, I have repeatedly thought about how to make the Aegrod clan rise. Now I have figured it out. Instead of waiting year after year Seeing the hero who can lead us out of the predicament appears, it is better for us to try to find our own way."
"Our tribal fighters are so brave, and our tribe has a large population. If we want the tribe to grow and develop, we have to go out from here, so what else are we afraid of?"
A frenzy appeared in the eyes of Elder Ambrody.
Elder Domini also knows that this is probably the voice of most elders, especially when it comes to fighting these evil spirits.
In the past few years, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge have compressed the resources they depended on for survival, driven many tribes out of Moyun Ridge, and even forcibly occupied the northern part of Moyun Ridge.
If it weren't for the imperial army's containment in the south, the evil ghost army on Moyunling might have conquered their city a few years ago.
This is the last six months, and the living conditions of the tribesmen have improved.
"Then... Next, we will recruit another 100,000 soldiers and send them here?" Elder Domini said with a frown.
With so many tribal fighters traveling long distances, the materials needed to be prepared are not a small expense. Originally, soldiers had to be recruited, and rations for long-distance travel had to be prepared, which could even drag down some small tribes.
Elder Ambroby waved his hand and said:
"No, we keep a hundred thousand tribal warriors in the north."
Elder Dominic raised his drooping eyelids, revealing a pair of amber eyes, and asked doubtfully:
"Stay in the north? Will Lord Suldak agree with us?"
"Of course, he will..."
Elder Ambroby narrowed his eyes and said.
…
Elder Ambroby felt that everything in the barracks was very good, from tents to carriages, from the large iron pot in the dining hall to the shower head in the bathroom wall.
Soldiers who have fought hard for a day return to the barracks, can drink a sip of hot soup, and take a hot bath if they have spare energy. This kind of marching life is much more enjoyable than tribal soldiers.
As for those marching rations that are even more rare, each small packet is a standard one-day ration, and the wheat cakes, jerky and camellia inside are almost rare and delicious.
At this moment, Elder Ambroby was sitting in the command post of Suldak, with a marching ration in front of him. He first ate a piece of crispy wheat cake, and then gave up the plan to taste the jerky, picked up a cup of The oil tea brewed in hot water took a sip like porridge.
This kind of oil tea is fried wheat flour mixed with some butter and salt. When soldiers in the military camp smell this smell, their appetite will be halved immediately...
However, in the eyes of Elder Ambroby, this kind of marching ration is really a good thing.
Regarding the request made by Elder Ambrobi, Suldak still hesitated. Every mountain pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he wants to take the northern mountain pass of Moyunling from the hands of the evil ghost army, Suldak I don't know how many lives of aboriginal fighters need to be filled in to fight it down.
He said with some hesitation:
"If you fight from the north, many people may die."
Elder Ambrose said:
"If the equipment and weapons can be sent to the tribe as scheduled, I am sure that I can take the North Pass of Moyunling within two months."
Suldak walked to the front of the sand table, picked up a piece of wood and placed it across a mountain pass in the sand table.
In this way, the entire Moyun Ridge will be completely sealed.
"That's fine, if we can also block the exit to the north, then we can teach this army of evil spirits behind closed doors," Suldak said.
He felt that such a two-way attack from the north and the south might put more pressure on the evil spirits than from one direction.
"The weapons and equipment will not only be delivered as scheduled, but at that time, the Ant Cavalry Regiment and Constructed Knights of the West Route Army will also come to the North Pass of Moyunling to assist in the battle. We can trap the evil ghost army at the North Pass in the mountains and attack from front to back. Take Beishan Pass in one fell swoop."
Suldak thought of the aftermath of the war, and said:
"At that time, I will bring craftsmen from the West Route Army over to help you build a city wall at Beishan Pass."
"In this way, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge will be completely unable to get out."
Hearing Suldak's willingness to agree so readily, Elder Ambroby felt a little unreal. He asked suspiciously:
"By helping us like this, what benefits can you get?"
"This territory belongs to me in name, and the minerals here will also belong to me. I will also open a commercial road here. These will bring me huge profits in the future. In addition, my eyes are not here, but further north. The barbaric land, where the monsters and herbs are the scarcest commodities in the empire. In the future, my lord army may set foot on that land."
Elder Ambrose put down the teacup in his hand, and asked with some concern:
"Can my people really live here forever?"
"Unless the Grimm Empire ceases to exist, and the decrees on noble lords are overturned, this place no longer belongs to me... otherwise you can live here forever." Suldak replied.
Seeing that Elder Ambrose still had doubts, Suldak decided to draw a big cake for him:
"We have occupied many planes, but basically we have built beautiful homes with the natives of the planes. Few lord armies will fight against hostile tribes for years. This is of no benefit to us, and it will involve a lot of energy. It is too large, or there is a huge conflict of interests between the two parties."
Suldak finally said:
"The world is so big, there is absolutely no need to fight to the death for a piece of land."
Hearing what Suldak said, Elder Ambrose was much relieved.
Afterwards, he talked with Suldak about the close cooperation between the two parties, and finalized all the details. Elder Ambrobbi finally signed a new contract with Suldak on behalf of the Agrod Clan. The magic contract against the evil spirit army came out.
Based on such a magical contract alone, Suldak expanded the total strength of the West Route Army to 300,000.
Moreover, the combat power of the aboriginal fighters is far from that of the heavy armored infantry fighters. Their own physical fitness is excellent. And sophisticated weapons, the combat power will be greatly improved at once.
After Elder Ambrobi left, Suldak stood in front of the sand table for a long time.
During this period, countless adventure groups entered the Moyunling highlands. They not only brought back the head of the evil spirit and the black magic crystal from the Moyunling highlands, but also brought back the raw ore picked up in some places.
Suldak discovered that many places on the Moyunling highlands are actually rich in mineral resources.
There are not enough civilians in Suldak's territory, and probably no one is willing to move their home here, so even if he captures this place and applies for it as his own territory, after driving away these evil spirits, here It's just reduced to a no-man's land.
Then there will be a large number of business groups and adventure groups sneaking in to mine illegally, unless Suldak can build his own mine early.
If this group of tribes of the Aegrod clan are allowed to settle here, then it is only natural for them to help take care of the mines on the high ground.
When Suldak's mining team comes to the Moyunling Highlands in the future, they can also hire local tribes and aboriginals as miners...
It is not a big deal to give up the land here to the aborigines of the Aegrod clan.
Actually, that's what Suldak thought.
…
Elder Ambroby led a group of elders and left the Dak Valley in the south of Moyunling.
They left with the magic contract signed with the West Route Army. When they returned to the tribe, they needed to gather 100,000 tribe warriors as soon as possible, while Suldak needed to gather 100,000 sets of equipment within two months, and To be sent to the tribe.
In addition to a full set of heavy armor, epee spear and alloy bow, Suldak also planned to equip these tribal warriors with skinning knives and water bottles.
In addition, Suldak promised Elder Ambrobi that he would give him 100,000 boxes of marching rations.
Don’t look at these as small items, but after the number reaches 100,000 copies, it will be a considerable expense.
Actually, it wasn’t that he had no money and no place to spend it. The main reason was to allow these aboriginal fighters to have enough physical strength to participate in the war.
He needed the merchant Malakom to go to Constantinople to buy a full set of weapons and equipment, so he wrote a letter to the merchant Malakom, and then mailed the letter from the city of Hailansa to the Bailin plane. It was twenty days later.
It is estimated that the time left for Malakom to purchase should not be too much, and all weapons and equipment will still be transported to Seablue City.
…
Elder Ambroby and his party came quietly, and then left quietly.
In the eyes of others, the battle situation on the Moyunling side has been making little progress. There are more than 100,000 troops hoarded in this valley, and countless rations are consumed every day, but the commander of the West Route Army has not released the troops.
The busiest people in the West Route Army are the mages who have reconnaissance missions. The mages built a sand table for the entire Moyunling area in the command post. This is the seventh time to rectify the details. They even Clearly explore all the western garrisons of the evil ghost army.
Occasionally there will be Constructed Knights going out to perform tasks, but these Constructed Knights will not enter the depths of Moyunling Highlands.
Almost all the people hunting in the Moyunling highlands are demon hunters in the adventure group, and they are everywhere in the mountains. They meet evil spirits in the highland wilderness, and there are both demon hunters and ghost hunters in the adventure group. In the game between people, it is always those who are resourceful and cautious will win the final victory.
Evil ghost hunters are also very vigilant guys, and their attack methods are extremely fierce.
Many times, life and death are in a single thought.
Some people cry, others laugh, this world is full of competition.
Many demon hunters sent themselves to the hands of evil spirits little by little because of their irrepressible greed, and became a meal in their hands.
There are also many demon hunters who have made a fortune hunting the evil spirits on the Moyunling Highlands.
Just when the West Route Army just conquered the Dak Valley, the adventure group at that time was almost all over the mountains and plains to pick up money. Now is the beginning of the hunting game. Both sides are hunters and prey. It depends on who is more ruthless. Spicy.
The losers leave sadly, and the successful ones will have more followers. Many adventure groups have grown because of this, and the Hayes Adventure Group is one of the successful ones.
A large number of adventure groups gather here, and naturally many businessmen will follow.
The military buildings in this valley are far more decent than the garrison camp at the foot of the mountain. Of course, the merchants are not stupid. This obviously has the original appearance of a military fortress, so the first tavern in the valley opened quietly.
Later, someone applied to build exquisite wooden houses in the valley. The wood would be planed into square pillars, and then stacked together one by one. Some wooden houses even had pointed attics. However, to build a house, you need to apply for the foundation of the West Route Army. .
A large number of people gather here every day, and the first hotel in Dak Valley was also built at this time. It was a three-story wooden building.
Trading firms have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, building wooden houses in the valley one after another.
On the street opposite the barracks, there is a bustling commercial street. There are even more than a dozen restaurants on the street. You can almost find the flavors of Handanar City and Bena cities.
Even where you can eat soldier ant meat and ghost meat, these people eat almost everything...
