Chapter 794 783. Magic pattern war horse
The rising sun emerged from the ridge on the east side, and the dazzling sunlight dispelled the thick fog in the canyon.
A group of city defense guards were soaked in thick fog on the city wall. Although the ghost pattern red ants have been wandering in the middle of the canyon for the past two days, the city defense brigade and the garrison are still sticking to the top of the city. The mottled city wall has not been cleaned of blood. Clean, there are still some limbs of ghost-striped red ants hanging on the cliffs on both sides.
There are pale white ashes piled up under the city wall, which are left after the corpses of ghost-striped red ants were burned.
Occasionally, some large bones and precious magic cores can be found inside.
Of course, these magic cores belonged to the local garrison, so the infantry in these garrison camps almost sifted through all the ashes, and cleaned out the oil accumulation tank again, so as to prevent the fire when the ant colony attacked the city next time. The oil cannot flow unimpeded into the sump.
Many wounded soldiers are recuperating in the barracks.
The tombstones of the soldiers who died in battle at the top of the city were buried on the high hills outside the town. It was the only cemetery in Dodan Town, and the residents of the town were used to burying their dead there.
Suldak climbed to the top of the city, and under the cover of the rising sun, he could still see the withered bouquets in front of some simple tombstones in the distance.
Samira sat quietly on the watchtower, her shaggy hair was wet with dew, her light red eyes were filled with a cold smile, and even the smile contained the unique pride of the elves.
Her hunting bow imitating the 'Painting of Withering' was hung in the corner of the wall, and the wind blew, and the iron-wood bow pieces carved with patterns swayed back and forth.
A quiver hung on Samira's waist, just hanging outside the wall stack of the watchtower, and the feathers of each arrow inside were carefully trimmed.
The underside of the city wall has been completely extinguished, and the ashes of the ghost-striped red ants piled up under the city wall will be scattered on the vast grassland on the south side of the town. The farmers in the small town have taken the initiative to undertake the task of transporting the remaining ashes. The farmers drove their carriages and started a day of hard work.
Under the organization of the Town Hall of Dodan Town, many town residents transported this long fire-resistant cornerstone out of the city. A group of craftsmen are digging out some broken cornerstones, filling in new cornerstones, and then Fill the gap with something as viscous as clay.
Don't think that the beast swarm is over. In fact, only two days have passed, and the ghost-striped red ants in Duodan Canyon showed signs of gathering again. There are more than 100,000 ghost-striped red ants in the Dan Canyon, and they gradually show signs of moving south.
Although the town's mercenary group and merchant hunting team had hunted and killed as many red ants as possible, and there were some casualties every day, they still couldn't stop a large group of ghost-striped red ants from migrating south.
Suldak stood at the head of the city, looking at the rolling red cloud in the distance of the canyon, and said to Samira:
"I plan to implant those magic patterns into the body of Gu Bolaima, so that the cavalry can enter the Dodan Canyon fully armed."
Samira grabbed the hunting bow, jumped down from the archery tower briskly, stood beside Suldak and said, "Aren't you going to buy a batch of blue-scaled horses? We harvest so many magic crystals every day, obviously It’s more cost-effective to change horses!”
Suldak leaned on the city wall with one hand, looked into the distance where the mist cleared, and said: "Almost all the best horses in the empire are in the western provinces of the empire, and the province of Bena belongs to the central provinces, which can be regarded as two major regions of the empire." , Heavy armored war horses will hardly appear in the market now, such a good thing will never happen to us, instead of waiting for illusory opportunities, it is better to seize those that can be realized."
Samira looked at her white and slender fingers, turned her head to look at Suldak's side face, and asked, "The life magic pattern of three hundred gold coins is used on these ancient war horses. Is it worth it?"
"Probably not bad!" Suldak said.
Samira smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Then do it, the big deal is to kill it from the Dodan Canyon, and it won't take long to earn it back. It's a pity that these bed crossbows can't be taken away!"
Suldak had a loud voice, and strode down the city wall after speaking.
Leaving Samira with a puzzled face standing on the city wall...
…
Suldak decided to colonize a large number of the magic lines of life obtained from the soldier ants on the body of Gu Bolaima.
This matter can only be done by him alone. In the past three weeks, the garrison has killed nearly a hundred giant ghost-striped soldier ants, the number is a little more than the ghost-striped male ants. This kind of "strength and tenacity" life monster Patterns, almost every ghost pattern soldier ant has it, and the yield rate is quite high.
Suldak took out a total of forty-six magic patterns and implanted them on the veterans of the cavalry battalion. Now he still has one hundred and seventeen in stock. He decided to use them all to transform the ancient horses in the stables.
He had been busy in the stables of the military camp for nearly a week before he planted life magic lines on the bodies of a hundred war horses.
One hundred ancient horses are fully armed with full metal armor, and the knights on horseback are also wearing full-covered heavy armor, knight spears, flails, knight long swords and knight shields, with a full set of equipment, and there is a hanging on the back of the saddle. Seven days of marching rations, even so, these war horses can still stand in place.
In addition, seventy ancient Bolai horses were covered with hard leather armor. The cavalry wore half armor, leather trousers and riding boots on the lower body, and the only weapons they carried were spears and knights' long swords. Now, these 70 batches of war horses can be regarded as going out with the army. This time, a total of 170 official cavalry were assembled.
The rest of the cavalry in the cavalry battalion can only be regarded as horse infantry, that is, they ride horses when they are on the road. Once they reach the battlefield, they can still only dismount and fight on foot.
On the eighth day after the ant queen evacuated from Dodan Canyon in a week, a team of heavy cavalry led by Andrew appeared in Dodan Canyon.
Right in front of a group of mercenaries and merchant hunting teams...
line up,
holding a gun,
Hold up the shield,
Charge...
Fortunately, the Dodan Canyon is not too wide. A hundred heavily armed heavy cavalry were arranged in two rows, and amidst deafening shouts of killing, they launched a wave of charges towards the ant colony.
However, the brilliance of these heavy cavalry was completely overshadowed by the gorgeous fighting style of the two-headed ogre in iron armor on the battlefield.
When Gulitum and his mage brother Naohuaer ran on the battlefield, their bodies were covered with a thick layer of ice armor.
When the ogre was running, it threw a big fireball. Although there was only one fireball, the atmosphere on the battlefield was completely ignited the moment the fireball exploded in the ant colony.
In his eyes, those ghost-striped soldier ants do not exist at all like air, and the bone-crushing stick in his hand is always beating the ghost-striped soldier ants in those ant colonies.
Heavy cavalry in such a narrow canyon, as long as the speed of the charge is fully raised, and they hit it with a solid armor, the ant colony at the southernmost end will be rushed to pieces in an instant...
