Lord of Hyranza

"I'll get closer, you stay here and wait for me. If the evil spirits find me later, you should retreat to the shady slope of the mountain decisively. I will find a way to lead them to the opposite side of the mountain road, and find a chance to throw them away." Open them, if you can't wait for me to come back before dark, you should return to the legion and report the situation here to Patriarch Logan, do you understand?"

"Headhunter, I run fast, let me go for this investigation!"

A member of the squad volunteered.

Sacre glanced at him, but didn't speak.

He never liked any questioning of his orders by the team members.

The team member shrank his head back and said with a guilty conscience:

"Understood, then you be careful!"

It is very dangerous to scout on the edge of the Beishankou camp.

Especially this valley is full of strong bloody smell. There are still some wreckages of ghost warriors on the hillside, and there are also some broken blades that have not been cleaned up in time. The traces left after the battle have devastated the slopes on both sides of the mountain road.

The unknown situation here is even more uncertain...

At this time, of course, the most experienced old hunters are needed to investigate ahead. This is the long-standing practice of the Aegrod natives.

Thackley patted each team member's arm and said to them:

"Don't worry! We have traveled such a long distance, so it is naturally impossible for us to have problems here."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the pile of rocks, and he had a panoramic view of the slope in front of him.

Sackley looked at the battlefield in front of him in shock. He had actually seen the corpses of some ghost warriors on the edge of the battlefield, but he didn't expect that it was just the tip of the iceberg.

This battlefield was far bigger than he had imagined, and there were too many ghost warrior corpses on the battlefield to count.

Even the hillside covered with moss and needle grass was soaked in purple blood...

He bent down and picked up a broken blade. If indigenous warriors participated in this battle, this black metal broken blade would definitely not be discarded here. If there is a tribe later, this broken blade is likely to be polished into a hatchet.

But now on this battlefield, such broken blades can be seen everywhere, and there are some white sharp bone spears stuck in the soil.

There are still many messy footprints and broken limbs left on the battlefield. It is conceivable how large-scale battles have been fought here.

Thakri didn't know how to express the shock hidden in his heart. There were many similarities between this battlefield and the place where he fought at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.

He looked towards the North Mountain Pass again, and when he saw the flag fluttering in the wind, he felt that the lord army from the Grimm Empire should be guarding there.

Now that he found that this place has been completely occupied by the lord army, he was slightly relieved.

Looking at the broken limbs all over the ground, he sighed how many evil ghost soldiers this lord army had killed to make the battlefield so messy.

The more Thakry walked forward, the more traces on the battlefield he saw, the clearer the surprised expression on his face...

He stood up straight from the hillside, and waved vigorously at his companion who was hiding behind the pile of rocks.

The native fighters of this reconnaissance team came out of the rocks one after another, and joined him with some confusion.

Thakry said to his companions:

"It is an imperial army guarding the mountain pass. It should be the imperial lord's army that Patriarch Logan told us to pay more attention to."

"Go, go and see!"

After speaking, he took the lead and strode towards the Beishankou camp...

……

Four days after the reconnaissance team of the Aegrod Alliance Army left, this indigenous coalition army with nearly 20 soldiers finally appeared on the mountain pass at the northern pass of Moyunling.

These warriors climbed onto the hill, occupying almost all the space around the mountain path.

Their appearance is like covering the slopes on both sides of the mountain road with a thick blanket...

It seems that the indigenous coalition forces should have eliminated the evil spirit hunting groups at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, so that such a large-scale mountain road at the northern foot of Moyunling Mountain could be built.

Chief Logan and several other burly chiefs walked at the front of the line, and they were also the chiefs of various indigenous tribes.

As for the great witches in the native coalition army, they followed behind the team silently in a black-horned elk carriage.

"I didn't expect that, as the Great Elder said, the Imperial Legion has already occupied the North Mountain Pass of Moyun Ridge. No wonder I haven't seen the evil spirits running down from Moyun Ridge these days. The original source was blocked by the Imperial Lord Army Neck, hehe." Chief Logan said with a big laugh.

The other patriarch standing beside him did curl his mouth and said with some disdain:

"Actually, the danger has not been completely lifted. We should be more careful. God knows if there are large groups of evil spirits on the opposite side of this camp..."

"As long as we can defend the North Mountain Pass this time, the Evil Ghost Army will no longer be able to run down the mountain unscrupulously." A patriarch said with emotion.

This mountain path doesn't look very far away, but if measured directly with both legs, the vanguard of the native alliance army walked for a whole morning before finally reaching the Moyunling Highland.

The Beishankou camp at this time has been reduced to ruins after several days of battles.

The original fish-scale cellars in the camp collapsed in all likelihood. After several rounds of battles, the place has completely turned into a piece of scorched earth. The soil is not only filled with a rotten and bloody smell, but also a faint sour smell. The seed soil seems to contain grease and is not suitable for any plant growth.

Chief Logan brought a group of indigenous leaders to the front of the Beishankou camp, and saw that Suldak came out with a group of officers.

The armies of the two sides joined together, but the establishment of the camp was indeed quite different. In addition to the 20 indigenous fighters in the reserved area of ​​​​the North Mountain Pass, a considerable number of indigenous fighters wanted to camp in the mountain road below the North Mountain Pass.

There is no way, the number of native alliance troops is too large, and there is only such a big place in Beishan Pass.

In the empty field on the south side of the Beishankou camp, a large group of giant ghost-patterned soldiers and ants are talking about the remnants of those ghost warriors gathered together. It's too realistic, but this is the Beishankou camp, and a city wall will be built here in the future, so the corpses of these ghost fighters must not be left alone.

So Suldak chose the most convenient way this time, which was to incinerate.

The giant ghost-striped soldier ants piled up the corpses of all the ghost warriors, poured oil on them, and set them on fire...

The fire will soon turn the fat in the ghost warrior's body into oil. In this way, if the ghost warrior's body is not completely burned, the fire may not be extinguished.

Among the billowing smoke, there was even a pungent spicy smell.

Chief Logan took a deep look at the giant ghost pattern soldier ant who was doing hard work. Wearing a thick full-coverage heavy armor, he strode up to Suldak, and then said kindly:

"I didn't expect Lord Suldak to actually fulfill his promise and capture this camp ahead of time..."

"Didn't Chief Logan also arrive as promised?" Suldak said with a smile, and then explained: "It's also a coincidence that when the cavalry regiment just arrived here, they found that the evil spirit army in the camp had left their nests empty. , It was because of this rare opportunity that I was able to take advantage of it and drive the evil spirit army stationed here to the hinterland of Moyunling Highland."

"However... the evil ghost fighters here are more tenacious in fighting, and even if they are scattered, they will quickly organize a counterattack force."

"You guys came at the right time this time. There has just been a big battle here, and the evil ghost army has just retreated from this side. Taking advantage of this empty window, we can definitely build a city wall here at Beishan Pass."

Before Chief Logan came here, he had already heard Elder Ambroby explain this matter.

This is an important link in the grand strategy jointly formulated by the natives of Aegrod and the Lord Army of the West Road.

Chief Logan also understood that as long as the city walls were built at the north and south ends of Moyun Ridge, he could completely control the way of the evil ghost army down the mountain.

such……

Even if the next few battles are not going well, as long as the exits at both ends are firmly controlled, even if a more brutal fortified wall is used to clear the field, the war will eventually be won.

"What do we need to do, the young fighters on our side can't wait!" Chief Logan pleaded to Suldak.

"So... the most urgent task is to build a city wall..."

Suldak said loudly.

……

Even if he knew the answer a long time ago, but hearing what Suldak said, Chief Logan was still a little confused...

Where to build the city wall, how to build it, what materials to use, and how long the construction period will take. Chief Logan is not very good at these series of things.

His bronzed face was lined with wrinkles.

Indigenous warriors have already started setting up tents in the planned area.

Here, Suldak brought Chief Logan to an area where a straight white line was drawn. There were two parallel white and gray lines, and the span between the two lines was about 30 meters. The extended length reached 500 meters unexpectedly.

Suldak took Patriarch Logan to walk between the two white lines, and then explained: "A city wall 30 meters wide, 60 meters high, and 500 meters long will be built here. No buildings can be built in the area on the south side, nor can there be any buildings within 30 meters north of the city wall."

After finishing speaking, he bent down, picked up a piece of hard shale from the ground, and said to Chief Logan: "Next, you need to let your young native warriors go outside to pick up this kind of rock, and transport them all to the two sides of the city wall. On the other hand, these stones are the main building materials for the construction of the city wall."

A group of ant cavalry came to face them in the distance. These ant cavalry were driving the ghost pattern soldiers under their crotches to clean up all the remnants of the planned city wall. They only dug less than one meter deep, and they could see the blue rock formation below. .

Only by cleaning up these abandoned residues can the first step in building the city wall be completed.

Next, Suldak needs to transport some iron cages containing rocks, and then a large amount of volcanic ash cement and other materials.

Chief Logan then asked: "Then where is our camp?"

Suldak did not speak to the map with Chief Logan, but directly led Chief Logan to the area where the scene was located, pointed to the land under his feet and said:

"Here, although most of the sunlight here will be blocked by the city wall, this place is definitely suitable for building a military camp."

As he said that, Suldak took out an architectural drawing. Chief Logan had heard some descriptions about the city wall before, so now that he saw the architectural drawing, he had some rough outlines of the building in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Suldak told Chief Logan about the construction plan of a fortress camp.

This is a bit complicated to say, and it mainly involves the differences in the lifestyles of the indigenous fighters and the fighters of the lord army...

Chapter 1496 City Wall

The soldiers of the native alliance army had just set up their tents and had a hot lunch in front of the tents. They were not able to breathe a sigh of relief at the North Mountain Pass camp, so they were summoned by Chief Logan and started from Picking up stones in the mountains around the North Pass.

Each aboriginal warrior was assigned a leather bag, and smaller stones were put in the bag, and larger ones were put on the head, and the larger ones had to be carried by several aboriginal warriors.

However, Suldak didn't ask the native warriors to carry those big rocks, because there were giant ghost pattern soldier ants doing the rough work, so the big boulders were easily moved to the construction site.

It only took half a day for the ant cavalry to dig out the ditch used to pour the foundation, and the ditch needs to be filled with cages full of stones.

After everything is ready, pozzolanic cement can be poured on it.

This time, Suldak personally supervised the construction, so various materials can naturally be supplied in time.

Another 20 indigenous warriors acted as free laborers, and any large stones were transported by giant turtle-shaped soldier ants.

Building the foundation of the city wall is even simpler.

Suldak asked the giant ghost pattern soldier ants to bring a large number of stones, and took out nearly tens of thousands of bags of volcanic ash cement, and the craftsmen began to build the city wall of the North Mountain Pass day and night.

The camp suddenly became in full swing.

The 20 indigenous fighters hardly need to line up and take turns throwing stones on the construction site.

They lined up in a long row of hundreds of people, throwing rough stones into the ditch continuously in the way of solitaire.

It doesn't take too long for so many laborers to fill this trench with stones.

In particular, these giant ghost-patterned soldiers finally experienced climbing to the middle of the mountain, inserting their huge fangs into the cracks in the rocks, and prying off the loose rocks after weathering.

Sometimes some huge stones would roll down from the mountainside, and the giant ghost pattern soldiers scrambled to transport these stones to the trenches of the foundation of the city wall...

It may be the first time that Chief Logan has seen such a large-scale project. Standing on the edge of the North Mountain Pass camp, watching the indigenous people carrying stones and lining up, he stepped forward and patted each of them on the shoulder. Comfort these young indigenous warriors with encouraging eyes.

"There will be broth and wheat cakes later, everyone work hard and try to fill this trench before dark."

When the native warriors heard what Patriarch Logan said, they readily agreed.

These young men are full of energy, not afraid to use their strength to move stones, and they are full of energy when they hear that there is broth and wheat cakes for dinner.

……

On the other side, Suldak was directing the ant cavalry to dig a huge pit. Bags of volcanic ash cement were poured into the pit. On the other side, fresh water was poured in continuously. Dozens of craftsmen held spears This pozzolanic cement is being stirred around.

Some people poured some gravel into the pit, and every layer of stones on the foundation of the city wall was covered with a layer of volcanic ash cement.

Such a foundation will form a solid whole in the future...

For the Suldak Lord Army, most of the fighters had experience in building dams with volcanic ash cement.

The earliest was to build a five-level reservoir in Wall Village, and later to repair urban buildings in Mukuso City, build a sky garden in Ruyt City, and build a large dam in the upper reaches of the Three Rivers Plain on the Bailin plane. The city wall was built in the Dake Valley on the South Road of Moyunling.

It is not to say that these Ant Cavalry soldiers have participated in every project, but most of them have experienced one of the civil engineering projects.

Now that the city wall of Beishankou is being built, these soldiers have become great craftsmen, using carts to transport the reconciled cement into the trench.

The foundation of the city wall is being worked on in full swing. Chief Logan still doesn't understand why he has to dig a deep trench and fill it with stones when he is building a high wall... This is because he thinks the city wall is not high enough. , but also to repair more than one meter underground?

Seeing Lord Suldak bring out a large amount of supplies again, Patriarch Logan figured out one thing: the great lord of the Grimm Empire in front of him was able to lead his legions to win frequent victories, and the essence was piled up with gold coins.

The material warehouse in the camp, those arrows are all piled up into haystacks. Since the native army moved into the Beishankou camp, all military supplies have been changed to be directly supplied by the cavalry regiment. In addition, maintenance oil and grinding for armor weapons Knives and stones can be collected at will. I heard that at the West Road Army Camp, any damaged weapons and equipment can be repaired for free.

At dinner, each soldier was also given a green apple. Although it was not too big and tasted slightly sour, it was a rare delicacy for the indigenous warriors, because in the mountains of Handanal County, There was no apple tree to be found, even one, and this group of aboriginals ate apples for the first time in their lives.

The native warriors ate with such relish that they even swallowed the fruit core.

……

There are nearly 20 indigenous fighters stationed in the Beishankou camp, and there are indeed some troubles in terms of supplies.

Aphrodite coordinates the supply of various materials among various commercial firms in Hailansa City almost every day from morning till night.
