Lord of Hyranza

And Suldak also signed the plan of the Warrior Academy, and asked Mrs. Luna to come over, and asked her to bring this plan to Aung San in the town, and let him follow Baron Martino's request , Build up this Warrior Academy.

The college designed by Baron Martino is a building made of huge stones, which is larger than the Temple of the Twin Goddess.

To build such a Warrior Academy, Suldak needs Madam Luna to coordinate. The Batra tax officer will make special funds and supervise it. The designer belongs to Baron Marin Martineau, while the construction party is Ang Aboriginal Labor Corps in Dodan Township, Mt.

Suldak even directly placed the Warrior Academy model made by Baron Martino at the entrance of the hall on the first floor of the city hall, so that everyone who walked into the town hall could see this architectural model.

At that time, if Aung San has any reductions during the construction process, it will be reflected clearly from the model.

On the day when the Warrior Academy plan came out, Suldak also ordered Mrs. Luna to put the property rights of the land between Dodan Town and Warrior Academy under the property of Dodan Town. In addition to a wide stone road, a row of commercial shops facing the street will be built on both sides.

He plans to develop this place into the second commercial street in Dodan Town.

……

Samira, Captain of the Archer Battalion of the Independent Cavalry Battalion of the Dodan Town Garrison, killed five members of the adventure group in the canyon woodland, and was soon sued by the House of Representatives in Wilkes City.

Almost at the same time, the House of Representatives and the Military Department sent investigators to the canyon forest site to investigate.

However, the whole process of this incident was very clear, and it basically took only two days for the investigators to collect evidence at the scene.

After investigation, it was found that the incident occurred in the private territory of the Viscount Surdak, and there was a very clear sign of 'no entry' outside the territory. These members of the adventure group secretly sneaked into Surdak knowing that there was this prohibition. The territory of Viscount Duck.

At that time, the archers guarding the territory issued a warning by shooting arrows. The members of the adventure group not only refused to arrest, but also shot and wounded one of the archers under Viscount Suldak during their escape.

This led to Samira, the captain of the archer brigade, personally shot and killed several members of the adventure group.

Their bodies were buried in this woodland.

For this kind of battle that occurred when entering private territory, the laws of the Green Empire provided comprehensive protection for noble lords. Soon the House of Representatives passed a resolution of Suldak's innocence, and he didn't even need to pay any compensation.

Moreover, Suldak actually has a more sufficient reason. After so many preparations, this canyon woodland has built a large barracks around the bat cave.

This adventure group is even suspected of stealing military secrets in the woodland.

However, in Wilkes City, many citizens participated in the discussion about the fact that an adventure group sneaked into the newly built military camp and was wiped out by the local garrison almost instantly.

It is said that the direct troops of the Luthor Legion are powerful, and this outbreak of the beast tide has a very dazzling performance.

But no one expected that this cavalry battalion would be so tyrannical.

Several second-rank powerhouses of Suldak have also come into everyone's sight, and there are even some sketch portraits circulating in the hands of the nobles of Wilkes City:

Berserker Andrew wearing the 'Earth Shield', riding a horse.

Samira, standing on the platform bed crossbow on the back of the armed Thunder Rhinoceros, is wearing a hood.

Sitting next to the bonfire, the two-headed ogre Gullitum gnawed fiercely on a cow leg. The good brothers were arguing non-stop during the meal...

It is said that there is also a portrait of Viscount Suldak himself, but this viscount has clearly stamped the Luthor family imprint on his body, and none of the nobles in Wilkes City would introduce their daughters to him at this time know.

It is said that there is a great alchemist behind Viscount Suldak secretly supporting him.

When fighting the beast tide, the whole town of Dodan saw the magic items provided by the great alchemist. Some of these advanced magic items were even research subjects of the Wilkes City Alchemy Guild, for example, they could be popularized in the army Enhancement scrolls, such as explosives that are more powerful than fire scale bombs, etc...

After the second-rank powerhouses under Suldak were exposed, someone immediately proposed to the military that Samira and Andrew, the second-rank powerhouses with human blood, should enter the battlefield for training within the time limit.

The military department quickly replied, and the reason given by the military department was very simple. They did not accept the teleportation pass for the two to go to the big battlefield on the grounds that the Luthor Legion was performing a garrison mission in the Bailin plane.

Of course, it is also possible to accept the two large battlefield transmission passes from the relevant departments, but how to solve the defense problems of the northern area of ​​the Bailin plane and the Invercargill Warcraft Forest requires everyone to sit down and discuss.

In fact, it can be seen from this incident that Marquis Luther has a great influence in the Wilkes City Military Department.

This is probably the reason why Marquis Luther did not let Suldak go with him to the south of Tarapagan to suppress the rebellion.

Chapter 918 The Northern Expedition

In addition to purchasing a batch of bed crossbows and catapults from San Carlos City this time, businessman Malakom also bought a set of agile magicweave structures from the Imperial Capital Auction House.

In addition, the [-] infantry soldiers in the barracks were also wearing heavy armor, with shining heavy swords hanging from their waists, and heavy dwarven shields and Paglio spears on their backs.

Fifteen hundred infantrymen left Dodan in full armor on the last day of October, and they marched north through the Dodan Gorge.

The infantry lined up in a long line, followed behind the armed Thunder Rhino, and entered the Invercargill Forest mightily.

All the infantry soldiers seemed very excited. Most of these new troops were indigenous youths of the tribe. They had an obsession in their hearts, that is, they would only get money when they performed missions. This time when they left Dodan Town, everyone Everyone wants to make a fortune on the battlefield.

There are 36 bed crossbows on the backs of [-] armed thunder rhinos, [-] disassembled bed crossbow parts and [-] catapults are also carried on the shelves. in the barracks.

Suldak's northern expedition to the Dark Worm Valley also officially began on the last day of October.

He understands better than anyone else that the army is actually fighting for money, but the victory of the war can bring huge returns to the previous efforts.

But once the war fails, not all lords can bear the losses suffered.

Suldak had never thought of making the scale of the Northern Expedition to the Dark Worm Valley so large.

He just invested all the wealth accumulated from the beast tide in the whole summer into this expedition.

In addition, he also wanted the income from the continuous sale of copper ingots at the copper mine to directly exchange for a large amount of strategic and combat preparation materials to fully support this campaign.

When these materials were continuously transported from the town of Dodan to the military camp in the canyon forest, the entire supply line was almost full of horses carrying goods.

Such a rich supply of supplies had a huge impact on the indigenous tribes in the hills and mountains and the Invercargill Forest.

These indigenous tribes had also fought with the troops of the Grimm Empire, but they were not behind the theater. They watched such a battle from the perspective of a bystander. Seeing these ordnance supplies, so many young soldiers rushed to the battlefield with excellent equipment.

These indigenous tribes couldn't sit still.

Reasonably speaking, their tribe is currently subordinate to Lord Suldak, and Lord Suldak wants to start a war, so they are obliged to send their own armed forces to join it.

The first time Suldak organized a large-scale battle, he mobilized a group of young indigenous fighters, so he forgot to issue a call-up order to various indigenous tribes.

However, the various indigenous tribes heard that Suldak began to mobilize troops frequently, and the chiefs of the various tribes communicated in private.

Therefore, on the day when [-] heavy armored infantrymen entered the Invercargill Forest, each tribe sent [-] indigenous warriors to the barracks in the canyon forest. They even brought their own dry food and weapons.

The number of warriors sent by each tribe is not too many, but the number of these tribes is large.

The 37 indigenous tribes actually gathered nearly [-] warriors. They are a group of real hunters in the tribe. In terms of personal strength, they are much stronger than the young indigenous people, and they have rich combat experience.

When these tribal warriors rushed to the canyon camp one after another, Suldak realized that the scale of the camp built was a bit small, so he quickly felled trees and built some barracks.

Seeing that although these tribal warriors have alloy bows in their hands and craftsman epees hanging around their waists, they are still only wearing animal skin armor and their feet are wrapped in tattered animal skins. No shoes.

For this reason, Suldak hastily ordered another [-] sets of imperial-style infantry armor from the businessman Malakom, as a benefit for these indigenous warriors who voluntarily sent troops to help this time.

Even Malakom was a little surprised that Suldak made such a generous move.

He didn't even expect that these magic crystals that Suldak took out were all earned during the beast tide this summer, and now for the battle in winter, he almost cleaned his pockets more than his face.

Before it snowed in the Invercargill Forest, Suldak arranged for people to pull up fifty arm-thick iron cables on the mountain stream and canyon, and forcibly used these iron cables to pave a chain bridge for the armed Thunder Rhinoceros to pass through. .

In addition to such a huge iron chain bridge, Suldak also built more than a dozen ziplines on this mountain stream. These ziplines are low on one side and high on the other, allowing the soldiers to quickly slide across this natural moat.

Half a year has passed since the beast tide, and many areas have not yet recovered from the damage caused by the ghost-striped red ants.

Many people did not expect that Viscount Suldak in the Luthor Legion, in the name of the northern lord of the Bailin plane, led the army across the mountain stream in the northern part of the Invercargill Forest, preparing to lead the army when the first heavy snow fell. The army attacked the Dark Worm Valley.

Suldak's army had just arrived at the barracks in the canyon woodland in the northern part of the Invercargill Forest. A large number of adventure groups in Wilkes City were like dry leeches in the tropical rainforest, pouring into Invercar from all sides. Jill Forest.

Some large mercenary regiments even have more than a hundred people.

They were not hired by Lord Suldak, but they took a fancy to the magic core in the skulls of those ghost-striped soldier ants.

This summer, they have already tasted the sweetness behind Suldak's cavalry battalion. This time Suldak is preparing to go north, these adventure groups and mercenary groups actually heard the news.

Just after the first week of November, the number of adventure groups and mercenary groups gathered on the south bank of the mountain stream surged to more than 5000.

They have almost hunted all the ghost-striped red ants wandering in the opposite forest area.

So much so that no one can see the traces of ghost-striped red ants across the mountain stream.

……

Layers of dark clouds pressed down on the sky, and the north wind carried a damp and cold breath.

At this time, the roc birds in the northern sky had already hid in their nests. This was the call before the snowstorm. The light green mist surrounding the dark insect valley was constantly being blown into the sky by the north wind.

In such a cold weather, the woodland shrouded in poisonous mist gradually appeared in Suldak's sight.

As the snow grits that hit the face felt a little stinging fell from the air, the fog in the woodland opposite became lighter.

Five hundred cavalrymen from the Cavalry Battalion had already guarded around the chain bridge on the north bank. Following Suldak's order, [-] armed thunder rhinos stepped onto the chain bridge one by one, carrying heavy beds. The crossbow crossed the bridge deck and set up a second line of defense to the north of the chain bridge.

A thousand archers followed behind these thunder rhinos, crossing the chain bridge mightily, followed by [-] heavy armored infantry.

By the time [-] heavy armored infantrymen built fortifications on the chain bridge, Andrew led the cavalry battalion and quickly inserted into the edge of the poisonous swamp.

Although the snow cleared away the poisonous mist, the entire swamp was still very difficult to walk through, and there were countless puddles and traps where the methane gas was hidden under the thick moss and wild grass.

Usually this is almost a forbidden area for cavalry, but now Andrew is going to lead five hundred cavalry through here...

Chapter 919 The Battle of the Poison Swamp

Even when there is heavy rain in summer, the poisonous swamp is still filled with faint poisonous fog, and the poisonous fog here will gradually dissipate only after snow falls in winter. It is only from mid-November to early February in a year, a short period of more than 70 days. In the sky, the gate naturally formed by the Dark Insect Valley will be opened to the world.

The fine snow grits continuously covered the poisonous swamp. Although the fine snow completely suppressed the poisonous fog in the swamp, it also completely covered the entire poisonous swamp.

His vision had turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.

It has just entered winter, and a thin layer of permafrost has just formed in the poisonous swamp.

It is covered with thick moss and weeds. If you step on ordinary places, the soft and wet grass can almost swallow the legs of passers-by. This poisonous swamp grass is full of bastard pits everywhere, and even people and horses will fall into it.

Andrew's cavalry opened the way ahead, and the first thing to do was to find a passage with hard soil under the turf in this poisonous swamp.

If it is another legion, even Hawkeye with the "Boundary Sight" cannot do this kind of thing. The safest way is to use infantry to try to move forward, but this kind of exploration like mine clearance will keep the army Stuck outside the poison swamp.

Suldak started the sacrificial ceremony directly in the temporary marching tent, and moved out his sacrifices stored in the lava cave in boxes.

In addition to allowing the [-] cavalrymen who opened the way in front to have the "Blessed Body", they also cast the "Eye of Reality" on Andrew, Samira and himself.

Although the effect of the 'Eye of Reality' can only last for less than half an hour, Suldak basically used the heads of these soldier ants as sacrifices. Ahead, through the 'eye of truth' to see under the turf.

In their eyes, the water and soil under the turf present two completely different colors.

A flag had been planted at every turf-covered puddle, and small flags had been planted along the three roads that opened.

Three thousand native warriors, five hundred cavalrymen, and eighteen thunder rhinos were divided into three rows, and they slowly approached behind Suldak, Andrew, and Samira.

At the end is the leak-picking coalition formed by the adventure group and the mercenary group.

Fifteen hundred heavy armored infantry guarded the north of the Chain Bridge, guarding the only retreat route.

There were also a small number of ghost-striped red ants in the swamp. They hid in the weeds and formed an ambush team one by one. However, under the survey of the "Eye of Reality" by the three of Suldak, there was no way to hide for a while.

The Thunder Rhino team followed behind Samira. These archers carried a large number of arrows this time, and also shot at the red ants hiding in the wild grass far away to lure them out of the wild grass.

Along the way, only by constantly hunting ghost-patterned soldier ants can the loss of sacrifices be replenished a little.

In the cold weather, the actions of these ghost-striped red ants also become a little stiff. They rely on the magic lines on their bodies to continuously inject energy into their bodies in order to maintain sufficient vitality in their bodies. Their bodies have stiff and thick hard armor. This layer of hard armor also has a certain insulation effect.

However, in this kind of cold weather, they were supposed to hide in the burrows under the soil layer, but now they were going to lie in ambush in the poisonous swamp filled with wind and snow.

The team walked less than [-] kilometers, and the outline of the gloomy insect valley gradually became clear in the wind and snow.

At this moment, Suldak and Samira stopped almost at the same time. Andrew also noticed that there was an abnormal situation ahead, so he raised his fist to stop the cavalry from advancing.

Without saying a word, Samira boarded the armed Thunder Rhino behind him, raised his long legs and jumped onto the console of the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow operator beside him quickly lifted out a huge crossbow arrow and installed it in the groove, and followed the reel With the sound of turning, the bowstring was slowly pulled in, and the magic patterns on the entire bed crossbow also lit up one by one.

A huge crossbow arrow flew across the air, making bursts of explosive noises.

The next moment, he shot steadily at the forehead of the giant ghost-striped soldier ant 800 meters away, and the huge spear head was deeply embedded in the hard armor. The giant ghost-striped soldier ant was originally half of its body lurking in the swamp, and the other half of its body Covered by the weeds, his body jumped out of the grass at this time, and the pair of claws more than one meter long on his head opened suddenly, but no matter what, he couldn't catch the huge crossbow bolt.

It crawled out of the weeds like this, and the other giant ghost-striped red ants thought they were going to charge, and shook off the cold and sticky mud sticking to their bodies, and crawled out of the swamp, forming a large black mass in front of the army.

At the front were forty or fifty giant ghost-patterned red ants covered in dark red, and behind them was a large group of red ants, the number of which was too numerous to count.

'Front arrow formation, line up, prepare to use bursting crossbow arrows, and use armor-piercing arrows in the second round! '

Samira ordered without hesitation.

An orderly quickly climbed to the roof of the wooden house behind her, waved a few simple movements at the row of armed Thunder Rhinoceros behind her, and the Thunder Rhinos following behind quickly adjusted their positions and aimed sideways at the front battlefield. The controls on the platform The hands began to adjust the shooting angle of the bed crossbow.

Samira didn't intend to save money for Suldak. The first two waves of arrangements were giant crossbow bolts bound with black powder, and giant magic crossbow bolts with 'armor-piercing' effects just shipped from the imperial capital. The crossbow bolts cost 35 silver coins, and if the eighteen thunder rhinos shot flat, twelve gold coins would be smashed out.

Andrew immediately moved the cavalry closer to the armed Thunder Rhinoceros.

He didn't intend to charge towards these giant soldier ants, which were six or seven meters long. War horses didn't dare to run around in this poisonous swamp.

The three thousand native warriors behind Suldak saw a large group of ghost pattern soldier ants suddenly appearing in the poisonous swamp in front of them, and immediately screamed strangely to pass on the message.

Suldak shouted and retreated behind the armed Thunder Rhino, they couldn't understand at all.
