Lord Highlander

Wojmara city is more crowded than the previous few days.

Soldiers can always be seen walking in groups on the busy streets. They wear leather trousers, boots, and thin linen shirts on their upper bodies. They rarely travel with weapons, and at most they tie a dagger on their thighs.

As for the knights, they are much more orthodox. They wear hard leather armor and knight long swords on their waists. Even when they walk, they have to straighten their waists, which looks a little different in the crowd.

Bena province is continuously transporting armaments and rescue supplies to the Maca plane. The carriages that drive out from the airport pier drive to the material warehouses in various areas of Wojmara City. A group of poor children often chase after the food trucks along the way. , They always expect a piece of wheat cake to fall out of a certain grain bag on the car if it is not fastened properly.

However, the chance of this is very small. Generally, the wheat cakes they picked up were secretly dropped by the members of the logistics department sitting in the carriage.

A group of infantry regiments in neat armor passed through the main street, and the carriages driving on the street avoided to both sides of the road.

Standing on the bell tower of Wojmara City, Suldak looked up at the scenery in the city. He could see the troops who had received the task of participating in the war gathered along the various streets and gathered at the gate of the city. The heavy cavalry regiment has already stood in an offensive formation outside the city gate along the suspension bridge that crossed the moat.

Samira, a half-elf archer, sat on the edge of the stone eaves outside the bell tower, with her legs dangling in the air, her arms supporting her body and leaning back, the morning wind blowing in the face brushed her fine hair, and the corners of her water chestnut mouth slightly raised.

Looking outside the city at this time, the group of hell dogs besieging the city has decreased a lot.

There is a huge pile of hellhound corpses piled up beside the moat outside the city, and the flames that continue to rise are faintly visible in the billowing smoke. It is said that it has been burning for three days, but because there are always new hellhound corpses every day It was thrown into the pile of corpses, so the fire has not shown signs of being extinguished until now.

Some alchemists in the city said that this is a waste, if there is a big enough pot, a lot of oil can be refined out.

The Bena army has gradually taken the initiative in the battlefield outside Wojmara, allowing the residents here to see the hope of victory in the plane war, especially the Constructed Swordsman Corps of Marquis Luthor has gone to the second battlefield. Good news will follow after that.

A group of heavy cavalry rushed into the Hellhound camp and killed the siege dogs outside the city. However, even in such a disadvantageous situation, the Hellhounds still did not choose to evacuate from Vozmara. city.

Suldak asked strangely: "Why don't you say that hellhound hasn't evacuated Vozmara yet?"

Half-elf archer Samira looked at the hellhounds on the outskirts of the city, shook her head, and said nothing.

...

In order to celebrate the victory of the Umezu Town Battle, the guard battalions of the three cities held a celebratory ball at the square station.

The Knights of the Guard Battalion are usually responsible for managing the city's security, and they are already half out of the scope of the army, so the military discipline is lax. In addition to allowing drinking at this ball, the bold Knights of the Guard Battalion also invited dancers from Vozmara City to enter the barracks. This caused great dissatisfaction with the Plane War Command.

That night, the three guard battalion commanders, including Viscount Emmett, Viscount Owen, and Earl Collins, were called to the war headquarters for an interview. The three commanders returned to the station with ashen faces, and the celebration dance ended hastily.

The second campaign led by Marquis Luther also ended early because of the early transfer of the Hellhound.

The hellhounds in this area had already evacuated this area before the Constructed Swordsman Group arrived. The guard battalion investigation team in charge of this area did not find the Devil's Gate or the passage to hell. It was decided to form several small teams and disperse in the jungle to expand the search area.

Since the devil's gate was not found, the army of hellhounds continued to rush towards the city of Vozmara. The battle between the besieged hellhounds and the heavy cavalry also began to become a stalemate tug of war. The giant hellhounds Hellhounds and three hellhounds appeared one after another, and the heavy cavalry regiment also began to suffer casualties. The maca plane, a war behemoth, swallowed tens of thousands of strategic materials every day.

The Bena Provincial Magic Union once again mobilized fifty magicians to join the magic investigation team, and conducted a large-scale search of the area where the hell dog appeared on the Maca plane. Although the magician investigation team can confirm that the area where the hell dog appeared is In the jungle area north of Wojmara City, but the exact location has never been found.

In order to find the devil's door as soon as possible, Marquis Luther decided to intensify the search on the ground, and this search changed the previous centralized search mode with the battalion as a unit, and changed it to a scattered search by a small elite combat team.

1. During the night, nearly 150 scouting teams entered the jungle in the north of Wojmara City.

At the same time, Marquis Luther led two regiments of constructed swordsmen (nearly a thousand people), a regiment of heavy armored infantry of 1,500 people, and a regiment of longbowmen of 500 people and immediately rushed to the third place to explore The situation here is a bit complicated. The three guard battalions who went to explore this area were dragged down by a group of hell dogs, and the three guard battalions were still unable to completely escape the battle.

...

The Plane War Command enlisted an elite combat team to enter the jungle to investigate the whereabouts of the Devil's Gate.

Dangerous jungles, unfamiliar environments, changeable climates, dangerous monsters, a large number of hellhounds and other factors make the risk factor of this task directly rise to the point where ordinary soldiers are daunted. Luther Marquis called on the construction knights Be able to stand up bravely and actively participate in this operation for the early peace of the Maca plane.

However, thanks to Viscount Emmet's efforts, the Hailansa Guard Battalion finally joined the battle sequence outside Wojmara City. Although they had to go out of the city to fight, it was much safer than leaving the city for reconnaissance. Viscount Emmet hopes to bring back all the knights from the Hailansa Guard Battalion who went out this time. Fifty-seven knights from the Hailansa Guard Battalion died in the Meijin Town battle, and they will stay in Meijin Town forever. outskirts.

Suldak is having dinner. Although the garrison in the city does not need to eat marching rations, there are very few vegetables and meat for the meals. Only the ogres sitting in the arbor eat with relish, and hope that the knights in the guard battalion will eat less, so that the ogres will be able to eat a little less in the next day. At the end of dinner, round up any leftovers.

Karl came back from the camp, sat down in front of Suldak, rubbed his forehead with his fingers and said to Suldak: "There are two paths for you to choose, one is to exchange military merit for teleportation tickets, and the other is In the first half of the year, as long as the war on the Maca plane ends and the order of the portal returns to normal, it will be much easier for us to get a ticket for the teleportation through the relationship with Bena City."

"Wouldn't it be half a year?" Suldak said hesitantly.

"If you want to let this big guy pass through the portal, you have to go through very strict approval. During the war, there is definitely no way to pass." Karl patted Suldak on the shoulder and said to him.

Karl wanted to prepare tomorrow's battle plan, and after a brief chat, he returned to the military tent.

Suldak put down the plate in his hand, took a sip of the bland soup, and then walked out of the Hailansa guard camp. The half-elf archer Samira sitting in the tent looked like a light and agile deer , Chased a few steps to keep up.

...

The next morning, Viscount Emmett announced today's battle plan to the knights of the guard battalion. The knights of the guard battalion need to capture a mound outside the city today that is occupied by hell dogs, and lay a blanket on the mound to stop the hell dogs. The dog's iron nets and large animal traps, this kind of animal traps specially made for hell dogs, have been continuously transported from Bena City to Vojmara.

Carl's support squadron is in the first offensive echelon. Viscount Emmet also considered that the support squadron performed extremely well in the small town of Meijin. There are constructed knights like Suldak and strong ogres. Soldiers, that's why they are placed at the forefront for military merit.

Standing beside Karl, Suldak said in a low voice, "Karl, I have decided to join the elite scouting team."

Karl had no idea that Suldak would choose to take risks. He turned his head and glanced at Suldak, and asked, "Dak, are you serious?"

Suldak nodded: "Of course, after thinking about it, I decided to use my military exploits to exchange Gulitum for a teleportation ticket."

"Hello!...Dark." Karl turned his head to look at Suldak, and wanted to persuade him a few words at this time, when Suldak took out a parchment order with a red stamp on it , making Karl shut up.

Suldak stepped forward, hugged Karl, smiled slightly at Karl, and said, "I have received an order from the headquarters, and I will take a magic airship to the northern suburbs of Wojmara later. If you want If you do something for me, then wish me luck!"

Karl pushed Suldak away fiercely, punched him heavily on the shoulder, and said with blue veins on his forehead: "I really shouldn't let you join the guard camp, you are a lunatic on the battlefield!"

Under Karl's gaze, Suldak led the three members of the security team to leave the guard camp.

"Suldak..." Karl stood on the square, pointed his finger at the scorching sun in the sky, and shouted loudly: "No matter where you go, don't forget the way back!"

At this moment, Suldak echoed and raised his right hand high, pointing at the scorching sun in the sky.

...

Suldak led Samira, Andrew, and Gulitum to the airport pier. The tall ogre immediately attracted the attention of many people around.

Suldak didn't stop because of this, he went directly to an officer in charge, and handed over a parchment order to the officer. The officer glanced at Suldak and nodded slightly. Nodding, he turned around and took out a map of the outskirts of Wojmara from the box behind him and handed it to Suldak, and said to him: "Weapons, armor and marching rations are prepared by yourself. There will be magic airships meeting every seven days." Re-arriving at the corresponding place, if you encounter danger, you can use the magic flare, I wish you good luck!"

Many constructed knights gathered in front of the airport pier from various places in the city, came to the officer in charge to get the map, and then boarded the magic airship.

Two magic airships were moored at the pier, and the bag-carrying coolies near the pier looked at the two magic airships eagerly, hoping that the captain on the airship would come down, pick a few strong workers, and fill his airship with cargo. It's a pity that more and more constructed knights are waiting. These constructed knights don't know each other, but they have the same mission.

The atmosphere on the airport pier was a bit heavy, and some people were whispering to the surrounding construction knights.

Suldak's team is a bit special. They chose to stand in the corner of the magic airship. The ogre Gulitum sat on the side of the magic airship, looking at the bustling airport terminal with novel eyes. The coercion brought by the ogres, come and exchange information with them.

Just waited until the crew on the airship withdrew the board of the airship and loosened the rope tied to the airport pier. As the winch retracted the rope a little bit, the floating device made a rumbling sound. The magic airship Floating into the air little by little, the three-masted sail on the ship slowly rose, and the warm south wind was like an invisible big hand, blowing the airship northward.

Suldak unfolded the map on the airship. This search mission included the vast northern suburbs of Wojmara City. Since the general range given by the Magician Detective Team was empty, the search area expanded by nearly 100%. Twenty times, in order not to miss any place where a demon door might be hidden.

There are as many as fourteen places on this map where the magic airship docks. In addition, fourteen places are marked in another color on the map. It is said that they are the reception places that another magic airship is in charge of. That is, every seven days, airships will go to these areas to pick up the constructed knights and return to Vozmara City.

There are already many constructed knights sitting on the deck, discussing with the team members around the area where the Devil's Gate is hiding, in order to find the nearest landing point to disembark.

Suldak set his eyes on the half-elf archer Samira who was wearing a hood.

Samira lifted the hood, revealing the pair of blood-mixed red eyes, pointing to the farthest pick-up area on the map, and said directly: "Since these nearby areas have been searched countless times, It’s all over, we can target here, the terrain of this area is more complicated, and there are not so many water systems, it is likely to be the activity area of ​​hell dogs.”

"But this place has almost faded out of the main search area, and according to the markings on it by the Magician Scouting Group, there are no signs of a large number of hell dogs in this area." Andrew, a native warrior, gave a different opinion.

The half-elf archer looked up at Andrew and said, "Those marks don't mean anything..."

"Okay, let's choose this place!" Suerdak didn't have any better choice, and he was about to determine the landing point.

Watching the elite teams on the airship disembark at various landing sites one after another, the magic airship quickly became empty. At the last two farthest landing sites, only Suldak's team was left on the magic airship.

The captain of this magical airship walked up to Suldak, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a map in the other, pointing to the farthest pick-up point on the map, and warned Suldak: "This is the farthest Don’t go too far, you can hardly see hell dogs here, and there are very few magician scouts, so pay more attention to safety, no one can help you if you are in danger!”

Suldak glanced at the gray-bearded captain gratefully, and nodded.
