MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 1571 1557. Investment
Chapter 1571 1557. Investment
During the period when the West Route Army entered the Moyunling Highlands, Suldak invested three large sums of money in succession.
The first one was to provide nearly 100,000 sets of full-covered heavy armor and various military supplies including food to the Aegrod tribe. These alone... almost defeated Suldak's battle with the evil spirit army in the early stage. All gains are exhausted.
The second investment was to send 117,000 ancient Bolai war horses to the Aigrod tribe. If you want to say how much the reinforcements from Handanar City suffered in this expedition to Moyunling, let’s not mention other material losses for the time being. The value of the 140,000 ancient Bolai war horses collected by the lords of Handanal County is an astronomical figure, and the value of the magic spar is about 350,000.
The third investment is the forts built in various areas of the Moyunling Highlands. In addition to the two city walls in the Dak Valley and Beishan Pass, Suldak has successively started to build Gaogang Fortress, Neihu Fortress, Allinge River Fortress, Kitahara Fortress...
Now the walls around the Gaogang Fortress have been built, and eight arrow towers have even been built on the north wall of the fortress.
Every fort needs a huge amount of expenses. The economy of the Ganbu plane has just recovered, and the mine revenue of the Bailin plane is not bad, but almost all the cash flow is invested in the development of the Dark Worm Valley. Suldak If you don't plan to **** blood from there, you have to find a way on the battlefield on the Moyunling Highland side.
Only by continuously winning victories can these fortresses continue to be built.
The black magic crystal deal with Marquis Worcester Caesar this time is also the funds raised by Suldak for the construction of the inner lake fortress.
This time, he even sold all the spoils that the Aegrod tribe had obtained in the Warsaw plane during the recent period, so that he could raise this huge project fund.
The construction of these fortresses also made the area occupied by the West Route Army impregnable for the battle situation in the Moyunling Highlands.
…
In the autumn of 2592, after the failure of the Moyunling highland reinforcement plan, the noble lords of Handanal County finally settled down a little.
In the parliament of the House of Representatives, no nobleman would open his eyes to mention the matter of seizing the territory of Moyunling Highland.
Some lords in the city who have preserved their strength will also send their troops to Kornberg County.
During this period, the Bena Legion withdrew from the Warsaw plane one after another, and finally returned to the Roland Continent as victors. I don’t know how much bitterness will be behind when they stand in the sun and smile as victors...
The aristocratic lords of Handanal County have not yet recovered from the defeat in the battle of Moyunling Highlands. Duke Newman once again issued a lord order:
‘If the evil spirit army on Moyunling can be completely driven out, not only the Moyunling highlands, but also the Gandahell Mountains and the right to open up to the north will belong to Lord Suldak. '
The signature of the Duke of Newman is signed at the signature.
Duke Newman ignored the noble lords in Handanal, and finally recognized the legitimacy of Suldak's expansion of the territory in Moyunling when the Bena Legion returned to the Bena Province on a large scale.
…
As the war fortresses on the Moyunling Highlands were uprooted...
The high-ranking evil spirits in the Horsens Mountain camp finally realized the seriousness of the situation. They kept sending out evil spirit legions to try to obstruct the construction of the fortress, but the West Route Army and the Aigrod tribe had already completed the first step on the Moyunling Highlands. The layout of a line of defense.
On the **** to the north of the Gaogang Fortress, there are almost all bone armor fragments left from the ghost warriors. The ghost warriors left at least 5,000 corpses here, and they have never been able to find a chance to break through the Highland Fortress.
At this time, the senior executives of the evil ghost army also knew that the battle situation in Moyunling was more difficult than imagined.
When the south gate of the Moyunling Highland was conquered, the highland no longer belonged to the evil spirits.
When the West Route Army entered the Moyunling Highland, the Evil Ghost Legion had already shrunk the defense zone first, and gave up the eastern part of the Moyunling Highland to the West Route Army.
As the West Route Army and the Aigrod Tribal Alliance Army guarded the north and south exits of the highland, they completely trapped the evil spirit army on the high ground. Large tracts of land south of the Mevaghisi Canyon and the Villagasi Hills.
After the Aigrod Tribal Alliance Army who came from the north gained a firm foothold in the North Mountain Pass Camp, the Horde Western Expeditionary Army went all the way to the source of the Allinge River.
As the evil ghost army in the northern part of the highland suffered several defeats one after another, the northern tundra that had been firmly held had to give up more than half, and the remaining evil ghost army retreated to the northern part of the North Sunderland Mountains.
The Aigrod Tribal Alliance Army took the opportunity to occupy the central area of the northern tundra. According to Suldak's strategic deployment, the Aigrod tribe will build a third fortress in the northern tundra, and the location of the Northern Plains fortress happens to be Valentine. The meadow that the Marquis of Heller had chosen.
When the tribal alliance army arrived here, they could still see some battle marks left on the grass.
The reinforcement infantry soldiers who died in battle have turned into bones scattered everywhere, and there are still some broken scale armor fragments, deflated shields, and broken swords on the grass...
Just two weeks ago, the Handanal City reinforcements and the ghost army had been fighting here for nearly half a month.
But now, not only the reinforcements from Handanal City have given up here, but even the evil ghost army has to withdraw from this grassland to the foot of North Sunderland Mountain.
With the unlimited support of the Mage Fighting Group, the Aegrod Tribe's Western Expeditionary Army has firmly occupied the north bank of the Allinge River.
Suldak was in the camp on the south bank of the inner lake. In the past week, the command post had received five consecutive reports of magicians being attacked in the air.
Among them, the magicians who were attacked three times were injured by evil spirits. The incident directly made the magicians in the magician battle group feel a little worried, because the magicians themselves were very weak, and they thought that flying in the air would not be dangerous, but These few aerial attacks made the magicians realize that the sky in Moyun Ridge is actually not that safe.
Seeing Suldak sitting on a chair to review the report, Selina, who entered the tent with refreshments, asked with concern:
"What's going on? I heard that the mage group is always attacked by evil spirits recently?"
Suldak also scratched his head a little, took the refreshments handed over by Selena, put one hand on the table, pinched the corner of his eyes and said:
"I probably feel that the existence of the Mage Corps seriously threatens them. Recently, the West Route Army has been able to quickly understand any information about the battle situation on the Moyunling Highlands, which has caused the Evil Ghost Army to continue to shrink to the North Sunderland Mountains. Therefore, the Evil Ghost Army is also looking for The way to deal with the mage group."
"In order to curb the range of activities of the magicians, there should be evil ghosts with the ability to fly on the side of the evil ghost army."
Suldak looked a little dignified.
As far as the current situation is concerned, magicians may no longer be in groups of two when they go out to perform investigation tasks. Perhaps it would be safer to form a team of five.
The two are discussing this matter,
Avid, the leader of the mage group, and Samira, the half-elf archer, walked in from the outside. Samira was carrying a leather bag in his hand, and threw it in front of Suldak's desk, and then untied the bag with his hands. on the rope.
After the leather pocket was opened, a giant black bat that looked like a giant black bat covered with sharp scales was revealed inside.
If you look closely, you will find that this is not a giant bat. If you fully expand its wings, you will find that its body is more like a flying mouse that lives in the rainforest. This creature also has no wings. Some feather-like bone armor pieces grew between the legs, and it looked like it had two pairs of wings.
And its face still looks like a ghost, but it was put into a leather pocket by Samira. It is obviously a single body and not too big.
Compared with those ghost warriors who are over 2.5 meters tall, this kind of ghost is only about 1.5 meters tall, but the wingspan of the bone wings can reach more than 2 meters.
Probably for the purpose of flying to lose weight. This kind of evil spirit is relatively light in size, mainly because the bone armor is relatively thin. There are still three blood holes in the evil spirit's chest, which should be shot to death by a bow and arrow.
Looking at the sharp bone blades at the end of its wings and a row of sharp teeth growing from its mouth, one can tell that this evil spirit has a very simple attack method.
Once the evil spirit dies on the Warsaw plane, it will decay very quickly. At this moment, the evil spirit has already exuded a stench.
Suldak covered his mouth and nose and checked, then guessed and asked Samira: "The one who attacked the magician...is this kind of evil spirit?"
Samila nodded and said:
"Avid took me around the canyon of the North Senderland Mountains. When flying at low altitude, there were indeed a few of these guys flying out of the rock cracks in the mountain wall. Their flying ability is very weak, but they are It can glide through the air, and it's fast..."
“I shot and killed three of them, but unfortunately the other two fell down and couldn’t be found. I only brought back a relatively complete one.”
The magician Avid added: "If this kind of evil spirit is on the grassland, the flight distance is very short, the farthest is only two kilometers, and their legs and arms cannot fly long distances... it should be Not a fully evolved body."
"The places where members of our mage group were attacked several times were in the North Senderland Mountains. They usually hide in the crevices of the rock walls, and when they find the mage investigators, they will slide down from the heights of the cliff in groups. Okay, they fly very fast in the sky, and they are also very flexible, so they can easily catch up to the magic handle."
"We found that their weakness is that once the flying height of this kind of evil ghost drops, there is no way to raise the flying height again unless it encounters the strong airflow in the canyon."
"So we mages can avoid their surprise attacks by flying to higher places in time after discovering them."
Suldak put on his gloves, pinched the bone wings on the arm of the flying evil spirit, and repeated the words of the magician Avid: "Unsafe evolution..."
Evid replied:
"Well, according to the analysis of our mage group, this kind of evil ghost with flying ability should have just evolved, but the flying ability is still very weak. In fact, we discovered this flying evil ghost two months ago. Ghosts, but the place where they were found was still near Mount Horsens, and they were also entrenched on the wall near Mount Horsens at that time."
"It's just that their flying ability was weaker at that time, and they could only jump from one cliff to another, but the speed was faster than the current evil spirits. Sometimes we can't even see their shadows. And they're good at hiding in rock crevices."
"When I discovered their existence, I forbade the magicians to investigate that area again. I didn't expect that they could fly farther in just two months."
Hearing the introduction of the magician Avid, Suldak was still a little worried.
Once the air superiority of the magicians no longer exists, it will be a great weakening for the West Route Army.
But as long as one thinks of the troubles the magicians have brought to the evil ghost army, it will not be so surprising that such evil ghosts with the ability to fly appear in North Sunderland now.
"As long as we take more precautions, flying ghosts of this level cannot become a threat to us, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future."
The magician Avid expressed the worries in his heart.
"The evil ghost army retreated to the North Senderland Mountains, probably to avoid the aerial detection of the magicians." Suldak said.
The recent raids between Andrew and the Constructed Knights in the hills of Villagasi actually had the shadow of the Magician Scouting Group behind them.
With its flexible mobility and powerful piercing ability, the Constructed Knights almost became the ghost assassins in the hills of Villagasi. The Liagashi Hills, tucked into the North Sunderland Mountains.
At present, the highland fortress has almost been completed, and the fighting over there has subsided two weeks ago.
The evil ghost army wandering around the Neihu Lake was also recently beaten back to the North Sunderland Mountains by Andrew's Constructed Knights. Delia's guard army was unable to find a small group of evil ghost army here. Bypass the inner lake and move around the northern tundra along the north shore of the North Lake.
The Aegrod Tribal Alliance Army has also reached the central area of the northern tundra...
The West Route Army and the Aegrod Tribe have already occupied three-quarters of the territory of the Moyunling Highlands. They probably want to curb the pace of the West Route Army's attack, so the evil ghost army will send out the flying evil ghosts that have not fully evolved.
However, in the strategy formulated by Suldak, there is no plan to attack the North Sunderland Mountains during this period of time.
The main reason is that the heavy armored infantry regiment is not good at mountain warfare. To gain a certain advantage in mountain warfare, Suldak needs to form more ant cavalry.
But this will have to wait for Aphrodite to make enough contract scrolls...
"Boss! Elder Ambrobi has arrived at the northern shore of Inner Lake!" Samira said to Suldak.
"Oh? It came so fast!" Suldak stood up, picked up the Shaft Stamb armor from the wooden shelf beside him, and put it on with the help of Selina.
Walking out of the command post, Selena, Samira and the magician Avid followed behind him.
The non-commissioned officers outside the tent saw Suldak coming out, and saluted him one after another.
The guards brought his Gubolai war horse over, and Suldak got on the horse and ran eastward along the shore of the inner lake...
