Andrew, Samira and Gulitim had already made preparations for the departure and waited in the courtyard of the security office.
A hunter wearing a fur robe and carrying a bow and spear was also in a dark face with several deep wrinkles. When he smiled and narrowed his eyes, he looked a little wretched. His hands were covered with cocoons. When he saw Surdak riding a horse into the hospital, he quickly hid back.
Surdak jumped on his horse and took a look at the hunter. Suddenly he felt familiar.
Surdak watched the hunter erect his back unnaturally, and his body was a lot higher than Andrew’s, but he was a little thin.
"Have I seen you?" Surdak asked the hunter.
"Carol of the militia battalion reports to Baron Surdak!" The hunter immediately stood up and said
When I heard the hunter say this, Surdak remembered that there was such a person on the militia camp roster. Surdak clearly remembered that when he first came to Wall Village, he bent his waist and held an immovable arm. Surdak was most impressed with him by the injured arm.
"Well, I remember you hurt your right arm …" Surdak said.
Carol quickly pulled up her sleeve and a scar appeared on her right arm like a giant red Qiu. It looked ferocious and terrible. He grinned bitterly and explained, "The Baron’s arm injury was caused during his inaugural ceremony this spring. At that time, a group of us met a violent bear who had just woken up in Pagelos Mountain. This life was almost lost in that mountain forest, and everyone didn’t have enough to eat. I couldn’t do anything to recruit militia at that time. I heard that you didn’t mind being disabled, so I came here to sign up for your public food for more than three months. Rest at home is almost as good as it is now, or we can’t go into the mountains and fall with people again. A group of us met a group of magicians on the edge of Pagros Mountain, and others stared at them in the forest area over there. I’ll send you a letter. "
"How many adventure groups are there beyond Pageloth Mountain?" Surdak asked
"There are a lot of areas that are much larger than expected, and hundreds of miles north are filled with high-order Warcraft in the Pageloth Mountain, and many of them are the powerful of the empire. They are cunning and dangerous, and the general adventure groups dare not provoke them. These adventure groups can stroll around the edge area and will not rashly go deep …" Carol explained to Surdak.
"How many people do you see in that team of wizards?" Surdak asked again
Carol replied, "More than half of a dozen people are riding magic handlebars, and there are some strange guys who wrap themselves in linen. They fly to a high position from time to time, but they are not familiar with the mountain forest and don’t walk fast."
Chapter 562 Mountain Giant
Surdak led the members of the security team, the indigenous soldier Andrew, the half-elf archer Samira, and the ogre Gulitem, and left the village barracks militia Carol to lead them into the barren land at night.
Aphrodite stayed in the village as usual.
Outside the Pagros Pass, the barren land is a narrow strip. The southernmost foothills of Pagros Mountain are like antlers, and the top of antlers is Pustus Mountain. This is the only active volcano in the barren land. The top of the mountain is burning with flames all year round, and volcanic ash almost covers Fiona Fang for dozens of kilometers.
The shortest way to Pagros Mountain is Pustuca Mountain Road.
However, this road is very difficult to walk, and few adventure groups choose to walk here. This roadbed is covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash. It is like walking in a desert, and the volcanic ash is flying everywhere in the sky, which makes people breathe smoothly. People who are unfamiliar with this road are afraid to walk here. Once the horse is broken by a rock crack in the middle, it will be in a dead end.
Therefore, many foreign adventure groups will choose to bypass the volcanic ash covered area around Pufeng Mountain by entering the adventure village in a barren way, which will also double the road shape.
For the barren villagers, it is not difficult to cross the pustule mountain. The four-wheeled carriage in Woer Village almost opened a flat road between the pustule mountain and Woer Village. Surdak and his party covered their horses with masks and headed for the pustule mountain overnight.
If you want to pass through Pustuca Mountain, the brown barren mountain will gradually return to green, which is the northern edge of the barren land.
Once you walk into the Pagros Mountains, you leave Bena Province.
Villagers on this side of the barren land rarely go to that mountain to make a living. Even if they have to spend some winter in mountain products in autumn, the villagers here dare to go into the depths of Pagros Mountain only when there are some experienced hunters in the outermost woodland of the mountain.
There are some rare high-level Warcraft in that mountain, and these Warcraft materials are extremely precious. Therefore, even if everyone knows that there are dangers there, there are always some hunters and adventure groups entering Pagros Mountain every year, and there are definitely not a few hunters and adventure groups in Pagros Mountain every year.
It took Surdak and his party more than two days to reach the foot of pustule, which is already within his territory.
When passing by the lava river sulfur mine, Surdak also went to the sulfur mine camp to inspect it. Luke, who was guarding the sulfur mine because of the harvest festival, led 400 kobold slaves back to Wall Village, and now he is still on vacation in Wall Village. One person is here in the sulfur mine camp.
When he left, Luke had hidden the sulfur mine and grain that he couldn’t take away. There was nothing on this side of the camp except a few stone roof houses.
When Carol saw the boundary pillars around Pustus Mountain, she was puzzled by General Surdak’s choice of Pustus Mountain. However, when he saw that sulfur mines were hidden near the lava river here, he said with regret, "Why didn’t anyone find sulfur mines here when the former Pustus Mountain was still the main place …"
……
Surdak and his party continued to March northward from Pubaoshan sulfur mine.
When they entered the southernmost foothills of Pagelos Mountains, more than 1,000 knights from Hailansa City and Bena City Guard Battalion and Bena City Intelligence Office just arrived at Wall Village.
A large number of knights marched into the barren land.
The knights are divided into several long thin lines in a vast and barren way, just like winding centipedes crawling on the mountains.
There is nothing in the barren land. Therefore, the Military Supplies Department of Hailansa City is responsible for the logistics of the allied forces, providing all kinds of basic materials, from the most basic war horse fodder, marching rations, weapons and armor tents, to magic scrolls, fire scales, bed crossbows, etc., all of which are expensive and expensive. When these knights leave the city, materials have been continuously transported to the barren land.
Obviously, the anger of Archduke Newman made the Bena City Guard Battalion and the group of people in the Information Office finally realize that once this matter is not handled properly, they may be transferred to the Warsaw Plane Handanar County at any time to participate in the plane war against evil spirits there. That is the last thing they want to see. No one dares to despise this matter again.
However, this time, the top leaders of the Coalition forces in the two cities actually dragged out two bed crossbows, which seemed a bit exaggerated.
You know, what they’re after is just a group of wizards with more than 20 people. It’s impossible to deal with the heavy crossbow of wizards.
The main reason why the Coalition forces of the two cities dispatched nearly a thousand knights was that they were worried that a large number of cavalry were prepared behind the Dark Moon Gate.
What the Dark Moon Gate organization is good at is to create temporary delivery doors. When they are full, they can move a city in the shortest time. This is the most terrible place of the Dark Moon Gate organization.
In addition to these more than 1000 knights, the allied forces of the two cities also have a Bena swordsmen squadron on their way to Hailansa City.
Grand Knight Glen originally planned to join the knights of the guard camp in Hailansa City and then enter the barren land together. However, I didn’t expect the news of the Dark Moon Gate wizard to come here so soon, so I had to make a decisive decision to throw away the armored swordsmen squadron and enter the barren land.
……
That night Aphrodite summoned Surdak back to Wall Village.
At this time, the Surdak security team has entered the Pagros Mountains. His two barren parchment maps respectively depict the marching routes of the knights’ allied forces and the French division, and then Aphrodite gives these two parchment maps to Selena, and then Selena gives them to the village chief Brett, who personally hands them over to the wizard group Lance and the knight Carl of the guard camp.
Although the Magician Regiment set out half a day later than the Knights in the Guard Camp, more than 20 elite magicians from Hailansa Magic Union Law Enforcement Regiment and Bena City Magic Union arrived at Wall Village faster than the two knights allied forces, and got a clearly marked map from the village chief Brett first.
Wizards rode their magic paddles directly over Oak Ridge and entered the barren high-rise. Although they ordered the Mage Corps and the knights of the two cities to work together, the commanders of both sides did not plan to join forces.
The Wizards’ Group is also sent by Bena Magic Union. A great magician leads the team at a level half a level higher than Grand Knight Glenn, commander of the two cities’ knight coalition.
After Lance got the map, the Magician Group took the lead in entering the barren land according to the map route of Surdak.
