   Chapter 1544 1530. The troubles of the Marquis

  The ghost warriors first took a bath in the poisonous swamp of hatred, and when they became weak, they were caught off guard by the ghost-striped red ants and the heavy armored infantry.

The entire battlefield became very tragic, with a large number of corpses of evil spirits and ghost-patterned soldiers lying on the grass. This time, the West Route Army invested 20,000 ghost-patterned soldiers and 30,000 heavy-armored infantry in the Mevajixi Canyon. At this moment, there are less than 9,000 ghost warriors who can stand on the frontal battlefield.

  The only evil ghost general was besieged and killed by Gulitum, Carrie Decker, and Naomi.

In fact, the two-headed ogre Gullitum and Carrie Decker, two second-rank powerhouses, have already dragged the evil general to the battlefield. The necromancer Naomi just let The skeleton warriors beside him rushed up and threw two bottles of corpse poison on the evil ghost general. After a while, sticky purple blood began to flow from every joint in the evil ghost general. Decker clearly felt that General Evil Ghost's movements had weakened.

  Gulitham and Gary Decker didn't even intend to kill the evil general in this battle. They just wanted to drag the evil general here.

  Just waiting for the situation on the battlefield to be completely settled, they are dispatching a group of ghost pattern soldiers and ants to join forces to surround and kill this evil ghost general.

Unexpectedly, a little skeleton warrior ran up to the General Evil Ghost with a 'click, click, click'. The General Evil Ghost smashed the skeleton warrior to pieces with a sword, but before the skeleton warrior shattered, the poison bottle in his hand was thrown away. out.

   Afterwards, General Evil Ghost was stained with some disgusting rotten juice. At the beginning, General Evil Ghost didn't feel that the juice had any effect, at most it was full of stench, which made people feel a little disgusted.

  But as time passed, the venom began to take effect, and the muscles in the general's bone armor showed signs of melting.

Some viscous purple blood oozes out of his body. General Evil Ghost feels the power in his body slowly draining away, and it starts to feel extremely difficult to parry the big stick in the hands of the two-headed ogre. The heavy gunner The muskets began to fire frequently.

  The large lead bullets ejected from the "Santos' Shotgun" carried a scorching flame. Even if the general's bone armor was extremely strong, the exoskeleton at the joints began to shatter under close-range bombardment.

  Until Garrett Kerr knocked off one of the general's left arms, the one-armed general lost half of his combat power.

  The two-headed ogre stepped on the 'path of fire', turning the battlefield into a sea of ​​flames. The evil ghost general finally fell in front of the two-headed ogre, burning with raging fire.

The moment the ghost general fell, the entire Mevajixi Canyon battlefield was surrounded by heavily armored infantry fighters. In the end, the few remaining ghost fighters faced the ghost-patterned soldiers who feared no death. All the ruthless determination turned into a desperate run.

  The last sliver of fighting courage was also lost under the attack of the ghost pattern soldiers and ants, and only the heavy armored infantry soldiers with axes to harvest the heads of evil spirits were left on this battlefield.

  The battle lasted only half a day, and at dusk, the evil spirits still alive on the battlefield were nowhere to be found.

The price the West Route Army paid for this victory was probably only the more than 6,000 ghost-striped soldier ants that fell together with the ghost warriors, and nearly half of the remaining 14,000 ghost-striped red ants died. Injured, even severed limbs or giant pincers, but don't worry, these ghost pattern soldier ants with severed limbs can still grow back.

  …

   At this time, hundreds of adventure groups watched the battle at the entrance of the canyon.

The members of the adventure group are still in a very complicated mood. They hope that the West Route Army can win this battle, but they are very jealous that they have won a big victory, so that they can only rush into the canyon jungle if they want to drink soup go on an adventure.

   Watching a row of infantry soldiers with axes stepping on the corpses of evil spirits to collect their heads in the setting sun.

  The actions of these infantry soldiers made the members of the adventure group somewhat puzzled...

  They actually cut off all the heads of ghost pattern soldier ants that died on the battlefield, and piled them together.

It's just that most of the adventure groups didn't notice it. Before the West Route Army was completely sure of the victory, several adventure groups sneaked into the dense forests on both sides of the canyon from the side. Adventure Group.

  With the victory in the Battle of Mevaghixi Canyon, the confidence of the adventure group who watched the battle at the entrance of the canyon greatly increased in the West Route Army.

  A large number of adventure groups entered the depths of the canyon to start a hunting feast.

  The heavy armored infantry regiment of Garrett Kerr rested hastily all night, packed up the tent before dawn, and led more than 2,000 wounded soldiers towards the direction of the main army of the West Route Army.

  Only more than 3,000 ghost-striped soldier ants that could not move normally and a druid remained in the canyon here.

  These ghost ants need to rest for a few days before they can leave the canyon...

And the person who paid the most for this battle was Naomi the necromancer. The hate squadron she had worked so hard to accumulate for more than two months was completely destroyed in this battle, even the skeleton warrior who had been with her all the time It was also smashed to pieces by the evil ghost general.

  Naomi found the skeleton warrior's skull broken in half on the battlefield, and found that there was actually the last trace of extremely weak soul fire in his eye socket.

After Naomi collected the scattered soul fragments around the battlefield, she added fuel to the skeleton warrior's soul fire, and the flames in the skeleton warrior's eye sockets burst out with sparks, and the soul fire in the skeleton warrior's eye sockets turned out to be stronger than before some.

  As for the bones that were shattered all over the place, Naomi personally used fish glue to glue them together again, but it didn't look very strong.

   When the skeleton warrior stood up again, the bones all over his body were still crackling and falling down. At first glance, it seemed that he was about to fall apart after walking a few steps...

Naomi saw the corpse of General Evil Ghost lying not far away, his head, bone spurs and black-striped devil skin... All valuable things were looted by the heavy armored infantry soldiers, and now only some hard The bone armor, Naomi thought for a moment, then walked over to collect the bone armor and put it into the magic waist bag.

  She is going to equip the skeleton warriors with some bone armor, but the hard bone armor of these ghost generals still needs to spend a little time patiently polishing.

  So this time she did not return to the main force of the West Route Army with Garrett Kerr, but chose to stay in the Mevajixi Canyon with more than 3,000 injured ghost pattern soldier ants.

  At the same time, hundreds of adventure groups have dispersed into the depths of the canyon, hunting the evil spirits hiding in the canyon.

  …

  At the edge of the Villagaxi hills, a group of constructed swordsmen rode blue-scaled horses along the southernmost boundary line, wandering from east to west.

  The head of this Constructed Swordsmen Regiment is Marquis Simon Jeffrey. The main task of his Constructed Swordsmen Regiment is to ensure that the southern boundary marker line of the reinforcement territory always exists.

  There are many territorial disputes between noble lords, which are caused by unclear boundary marker lines.

  Of course, this situation often happens if the lords of two neighboring domains are not in harmony.

  Generally speaking, it is artificially moving boundary markers and privately expanding the territory. As long as this kind of thing is not caught on the spot, no one can tell.

  Marquis Heller was worried that Suldak would privately reduce the land area of ​​the reinforcement-occupied area when he saw that he had allocated the best large piece of land in the western Moyunling area to the reinforcement-occupied area.

It just so happens that there is a gem vein in the Villagasi Hills. In order to ensure that the boundary line to the south will not be secretly moved by the West Route Army, Marquis Simon Geoffrey led 1,500 constructed swordsmen to guard this line. Boundary on the line.

   Recently, Marquis Jeffrey and his Constructed Swordsman Group have been patrolling this area.

   Just in the past few days, he saw the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army operating in this hilly area. The two sides just passed each other from a distance, and soon disappeared from each other's sight.

Marquis Jeffrey thinks that the combat effectiveness of the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army is actually the same thing, although some rumors circulating in the city of Handanal are all about how heroic the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army are, But now it seems that it may be a bit exaggerated.

  In the Grimm Empire, when praising a certain army, they often use a lot of words to modify it, making these Constructed Knights like the Royal Lion and Eagle Knights...

  Jeffrey Marquis even made some detailed analysis:

  First of all, the West Route Army is not very good at constructing knights' war horses. The reason is very simple. More than 80% of those war horses are ancient Bolai horses.

As we all know, although the ancient Bolai horse has good endurance, it has great defects in explosive power and strength. That is to say, the ancient Bolai horse will be greatly reduced in power when charging on the battlefield. Heavy armored knight.

  In the Grimm Empire, the most suitable horse for charging is the black-scaled horse, followed by the blue-scaled horse. These two kinds of horses are usually equipped with Constructed Knights and Heavy Cavalry.

  Lord Suldak's Constructed Knights only had less than two hundred blue-scaled horses.

  Because of this, Marquis Jeffrey thought that the horses that constructed the Knights were not good enough.

Secondly, these constructed knights are not noble knights, and the armors they wear are all primary magic pattern constructions, which are basically cheap goods. You can tell at a glance that they are all selected from the infantry regiment. Although Constructed Knights have rich combat experience, they have not learned the techniques and tactics of Constructed Knights.

  How could this kind of constructed knight have combat effectiveness?

In the end, it took a very short time for this Constructed Knights to form. An excellent Constructed Knights needs to have a certain background. Only after time has passed can a Constructed Knights have a unique fighting style, and Not to fight in a rut.

   Obviously, the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army did not have these things. Marquis Simon Jeffrey even felt that this Constructed Knights were composed of a group of peasants and indigenous people from the countryside.

  Of course, he really didn't see how the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army performed on the battlefield.

  In the city of Handanaer, it is rumored that they are invincible on the battlefield on the Moyun Ridge...

Now Marquis Simon Jeffrey leads a group of constructed swordsmen into the Moyunling Highlands. When the evil spirits see his group of constructed swordsmen, they will also rush into the mountains in a hurry. This has to make Simon Marquis Jeffrey began to seriously reflect: Could it be that the evil spirits on the Moyunling Heights are a bunch of cowards, which have created such a good reputation for the Constructed Knights of the West Route Army?

  It’s not that he hasn’t encountered evil spirits before, but the behavior of these evil spirits is really special. Not only saw the Constructed Knights, but even saw a large number of heavy armored infantry, they would run away. This is really rare...

  During the patrolling of this area, Simon Jeffrey's Constructed Swordsmen also encountered some evil ghost squads.

  The constructed swordsmen hunted on horseback, and within ten days, they easily harvested more than 50 black magic crystals...

  If he had known that the Black Magic Crystal was so easy to obtain, he might have come to the battlefield in the northern part of Handanal County long ago, and of course it is not too late now!

A few days of smooth battles made Marquis Jeffrey a little overinflated in confidence. He began to be a little dissatisfied with the patrol mission at this stage. He felt that his team of constructed swordsmen was running around here and there, which was a huge waste of war resources. .

  Of course he didn't want to use these 1,500 constructed swordsmen to face the army of thousands of evil spirits.

He knew that he couldn't persuade Marquis Valentine Heller, who wanted to expand the occupied area but was extremely unwilling to join the war, nor could he persuade Marquis Caesar who went to the Moyunling Highlands to buy black magic crystals, so he was thinking hard. After thinking about it for a few days, he set his sights on the adventure group in Moyunling Highlands.

  He discovered that these adventure groups that were able to roam the Moyunling Highlands actually had good combat effectiveness, and almost all of them would ambush and kill a lone evil spirit, and quickly evade when they encountered a group of evil spirits.

  Each member of the adventure group has horses, and their range of activities on the high ground is very free...

So Marquis Jeffrey had an idea in his heart, that is, he wanted to persuade some adventure groups to temporarily join his Constructed Swordsman Group. Locusts are like locusts wantonly plundering those evil spirits on the high ground, even if they encounter groups of evil spirits, they should have the strength to fight.

  So Marquis Jeffrey, whenever he meets an adventure group in the past few days, he will go there to talk to the leaders of those adventure groups in person.

  The leaders of the adventure group on the Moyunling Highland heard some of his ideas, and almost all the leaders shook their heads firmly, showing no interest in joining his temporary plundering group.

Marquis Simon Geoffrey said he couldn't understand the reluctance of these adventure groups to join the temporary plundering group. After all, it was a mutual win. , and there will be no loss...

  But all the heads of the adventure group refused, and they hesitated when asked the reason, and no one refused to answer.

  In fact, the leaders of these adventure groups knew very well in their hearts that the reinforcements from Handanal City came to the Moyunling Highlands, and without doing anything, they took away a large area of ​​land in the western part of the highlands and became their occupied area.

   Doing so is completely showing that they want to annex the upcoming benefits of the West Route Army. As a commander, Lord Suldak will never tolerate such a thing.

At this time, whoever stands on the side of the reinforcements in Handanal City means to stand on the opposite side of the West Route Army. Then how will the members of the adventure group be sent to the West Route Army medical team for treatment if they are injured in the future, and how can they be exchanged for merit? Magic weapons, magic potions on the list...

   These are the biggest problems!
