Lord Highlander

In the northern part of the North Sunderland Mountains, this mountain range runs across the middle of the Moyunling Highlands and is closely connected with Mount Horsens in the west of the Moyunling Mountains. lake.

This mountain range divides the land in the west of Moyunling into two, and now the reinforcements of Handanal City have included the land extending 200 kilometers along the west bank of the inner lake into the occupied area. The boundary markers have been buried, and almost all of the most fertile land west of the central highland has been occupied.

A heavy armored infantry regiment of 40,000 men was marching mightily through a canyon in the eastern mountains of the North Sunderland Mountains under the leadership of Marquis Valentin Heller.

This canyon happens to be the connecting channel between the north and south lands in the western area of ​​the Moyunling Highlands. Currently, the reinforcements in Handanal City want to enter the northern area from the southern area in the west. Passing here is the fastest way, except for this canyon In addition, if you want to enter the North District, you must go around along the shore of the inner lake. Not only will you walk three times longer, but you will also pass through the territory of Earl Suldak.

Of course, the Marquis of Heller is also confident that he can pass through smoothly, so he will take this road with a large group of people.

Prior to this, Marquis Simon Jeffrey had led 1,500 constructed swordsmen as the vanguard, and passed through this canyon very smoothly.

The Constructed Swordsmen also saw some evil ghosts along the way, but after seeing the Constructed Swordsman, those evil ghost warriors couldn't wait to get into the mountains, looking like they had no fighting spirit, and they looked like they couldn't wait to escape for their lives.

The Marquis of Heller hopes to bury a large number of boundary markers on the edge of the land in the northern part of the western part of the highland as soon as possible. Only in this way can it be proved that this land belongs to the lords of Handanal City.

Each of these heavy armored infantry soldiers is equipped with two war horses. Not only can they switch when they are marching in a hurry, but they can also let the other horse carry heavy armor and luggage. Let Gu Bo come back to his horse to restore his strength.

Facts have proved that the information sent by Marquis Jeffrey is very accurate.

Along the way, Marquis Heller also encountered several waves of ghost warriors, but after seeing the heavy armored infantry, they retreated into the mountains without even fighting.

The Marquis of Heller never expected that those ghost warriors who existed on the battlefield in Kornberg County were as timid as mice hiding in the ground on Moyun Ridge.

This canyon looks extremely quiet, with sparse forests on both sides of the canyon, only the occasional sound of birdsong.

There was just a heavy rain in the morning, and the road in the canyon looked a little muddy. The rainwater flowing down the hillside merged into a muddy river at the bottom of the canyon, and the water flow was not rushing.

Maybe it's because of the rain just now, and the surroundings are filled with fresh smells.

Countless war horses trampled the only road in the canyon, and a herald came from behind on a fast horse.

Under him was riding a different ancient Bolai war horse. There were a few dark lines on the front legs of this horse, and when it ran, it was like a gust of wind. Sometimes, they are farther than other ancient Bolai horses.

The young herald was wearing leather armor, accompanied by a knight's long sword, and a leather satchel on his back, and chased straight towards the place where Marquis Heller was.

When he arrived in front of Marquis Heller, he was stopped by two personal guards beside Marquis Heller.

"Marquis Heller, I am the herald of the West Route Army. Commander Suldak has written you a letter..."

The herald took out a scroll of parchment from his leather satchel, and shouted to the Marquis of Heller who was not far ahead.

Marquis Heller frowned slightly, and turned to look at the herald with some dissatisfaction. His eyes were a little cold, which made the herald shut up immediately.

"bring here!"

After a while, Marquis Heller spoke to the guards beside him.

The personal guard quickly took the letter from the herald, and handed it to Marquis Heller. Marquis Heller unfolded the parchment, read the letter silently, and then came with an intriguing smile on his lips. .

"Tell Earl Suldak that I have received and read his letter, and I will try my best to cooperate with his actions."

After saying this, Marquis Heller paused, his tone became a little uncertain, and he continued:

"However, the situation on the battlefield in the North Sunderland Mountains is more complicated. Our heavy armored infantry regiment in Handanar City has limited combat effectiveness, and may not enter Mount Horsens as scheduled."

"Everything is kept simple on the march, so I won't write a reply letter, you just send a message to Earl Suldak as I said."

"Have you memorized everything I said?" Marquis Heller's voice rose, and the ending was even a little sharp.

The herald kept his head down, and when he heard Marquis Heller's question, he quickly said, "I've written it all down..."

Marquis Heller waved his hand, indicating that the orderly could leave.

Then he turned around and continued on his way...

As for Suldak's order to let the reinforcements move westward along the Villagaxi hills, Marquis Valentin Heller pretended not to see it at all.

What a joke, now that the reinforcements from Handanal City are about to pass through the North Senderland Mountains and enter the northern part of the western part of the Moyunling Highlands, how could they go back the same way at this time, and then summon the heavy armored infantry scattered in other places? The corps, following the route drawn by Suldak, approached the camp of evil spirits.

They didn't come here to kill many ghost fighters. Marquis Heller knew quite well about the terrifying fighting power of the ghost fighters.

The main purpose of their coming here is to occupy more land. Since the hateful Lord Suldak has already included all the best eastern regions into his territory, the Marquis of Heller must of course allocate the remaining land to the Han Dynasty as much as possible. Occupied area of ​​Darnar City reinforcements.

As for whether or not Earl Suldak's military order was obeyed on the battlefield in the Moyunling Highlands, it depends on what to say.

An Earl commander wants a noble Marquis to carry out military orders. Even if Earl Surdak sues the House of Representatives in Benar, he can only argue with each other, even if the Marquis Luther stands behind him, but Heller The Marquis is the noble lords of Handanal City.

Marquis Heller thought of this, and waved to a personal guard beside him.

The personal guard rode over and shouted respectfully, "Master Marquis!"

"Pass down the order, tell the soldiers in front to speed up, try to cross this canyon before dark, and try not to conflict with the evil spirits here." Marquis Heller ordered the guards around him.

"Yes." The guard replied immediately.

...

During the recent period, the reinforcements have also encountered ghost warriors in the mountains of North Sunderland several times, but the number of those ghost warriors is very small, only dozens... hundreds of them, and they encountered reinforcements from Handanal City The tens of thousands of troops ran into the mountains without looking back.

These encounters with the evil spirits gave Marquis Heller a lot of confidence, thinking that those evil spirits were nothing more than that.

In fact, many of these evil ghost fighters escaped from Beishan Pass. All the confidence of the evil ghosts who experienced the Battle of Beishan Pass was lost. They hid in this mountain just because they could still enter the mountain. Find something to eat so you don't starve yourself to death.

When they saw the army of the Green Empire, they would hide subconsciously.

Fleeing from the battlefield at the North Mountain Pass all the way into the North Senderland Mountains, I don't know how many companions died along the way. At this time, a large number of heavy armored infantry regiments passed through the canyon, and they didn't even have the idea of ​​​​harassing them.

There are many such ghost squads along the North Sunderland Mountains, and they will always gather in dozens and hundreds, so that they don't have to be afraid of the demon hunters in most adventure groups.

...

Although Marquis Valentine Heller had no intention of fighting this group of ghost warriors, this did not represent the thoughts of all the reinforcements.

This reinforcement from the city of Handanal was actually put together by many lord armies. Marquis Heller was only the supreme commander of the reinforcement army, and the real command of many lord armies was still in the hands of the heads of the infantry regiments.

Everyone saw that the ghost warriors in the North Sunderland Mountains were as cowardly as mice, and some heads of infantry regiments came alive.

The support army forcibly ran into the Moyunling Highlands. Apart from occupying some land, they also wanted to get some unidentified black magic crystals.

Now that a large piece of land has been included in the territory of the occupied area, the heads of the infantry regiment are thinking about whether they can get some unidentified black magic crystals at the lowest cost.

Marquis Caesar's plan to acquire the magic crystals here has not been going well, so the group leaders had some thoughts when they saw the ghost warriors emerging from the mountains.

There will always be some soldier squads in the reinforcements, in the name of scouting the surrounding enemies, sneaking into the woods on both sides of the canyon to hunt evil spirits.

...

These fighter squads still took some advantage in the early stage.

There are no steep peaks in the North Sunderland Mountains, it is more like a piece of closely overlapping hills.

The mountains on both sides of this canyon are also quite gentle, and the forests on the hillside are like black patterns on cows, distributed among the mountains in patches, and the rest are covered with moss, grass and patches of bushes , Of course, you can also see patches of rocky areas.

A squadron of heavy armored infantry riding Gu Bolai's horses turned over the mountain in front of them, and the scouts in the team followed the footprints left by the evil spirits on the grass after the rain to the front of the forest area.

The squadron leader of the heavy armored infantry squadron even smelled the peculiar stench of the evil spirit coming from the woods in front.

The woods were extremely quiet, not even cicadas and birds chirping. Following the squadron leader waving his hand to the back, more than a hundred infantry soldiers jumped off their horses one after another, quickly put their battle armors on their bodies, and jumped out of the saddle. Take out the sword and shield from the hanger.

They obviously didn't rush into the woods in a hurry, but quickly formed a square formation in front of the woods.

Shield warriors are at the front, followed by warriors holding spears and warriors holding big axes. Only this kind of mixed heavy armored infantry regiment can quickly kill evil spirits in battle.

For the heavy armored infantry, forming a phalanx and rushing in is far more stable than a small group rushing into the woods.

A few scouts with scouting ability were mixed in the team of shield warriors. They were wearing heavy armor and holding standard repeated crossbows. The trees in this dense forest were full of weeds...

The forest wasn't that big, so several scouts circled around the forest, judging that there couldn't be too many ghost fighters hiding here.

This is also the reason why the squadron leader decided to play a game here.

Just as the entire row of shield warriors stepped into the woods, the scouts mixed in with the shield warriors found the ghost warrior hiding behind a tree, with several bone spurs sticking out from behind the tree trunk...

Several scouts shot crossbow arrows at the ghost warriors almost separately.

The battle is imminent.

Some ghost warriors had no intention of fighting at all, and when they saw the heavy armored infantry rushing in from outside the woods, they hurriedly withdrew.

There were also some ghost warriors who didn't want to run away anymore. They rushed out from behind the tree trunks with war blades in their hands, and strode towards the phalanx with big strides.

It's just that there were only seven ghost warriors who had the courage to rush over, and the rest chose to escape from the woodland quickly.

More than a hundred heavily armed heavy armored infantry soldiers collided with seven ghost warriors, especially a row of shield warriors in front. spear……

These evil ghost warriors never thought of dodging at all, even though those spears pierced through the bone armor of their bodies, although the war blades in their hands were blocked by shields, they swept across the heads of those shield warriors with their physical advantages .

Three shield warriors dodged swiftly, but the other four shield warriors failed to dodge. Two war blades slashed on the iron helmet, drawing a spark, and the other two war blades slashed along the helmet and chest. The gap in the armor cut into the neck, and the heads of the two infantry soldiers flew out together with the helmets.

The ghost warriors reached out and grabbed the spears pierced into their bodies. When they were dying, they spun their bodies wildly, and the spears were forcibly swung up.

The spear fighters were caught off guard, and all the spears fell out of their hands.

Immediately, the ghost warrior strode into the phalanx. This kind of endless battle is destined to end only when one side completely falls down.

The heavy armored infantry squadron took advantage of their huge numbers and spent a quarter of an hour besieging and killing the seven evil spirits, but they also paid a heavy price with five deaths and seventeen injuries.

The evil spirits who desperately want to fight back are far stronger than they thought.

At the end of the battle, the ax warriors behind the team quickly rushed up and chopped off the heads of the evil spirits. The warriors with skinning skills began to peel off the black devil's skin, which they did very skillfully.

There are also some soldiers who help their wounded companions to bandage them. As for those who died in battle, they will be buried in situ, and their horses, armor, weapons, and personal property will be taken back by the squadron leader of the battle group.

This is the battle of ordinary infantry fighters. These fighters have long been used to it, and no one has a nervous breakdown just because a few people died.

Everyone is cleaning up the battlefield with their respective duties. The injured soldiers will be sent to the army by their companions, and the others will continue to chase the escaped six evil ghost soldiers along the trail.

After this battle, these infantry fighters were completely awake. The ghost fighters hiding in this mountain did not seem to have changed in any way. The evil spirits are even more wretched...
