Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1396 1383. Evil Ghost Hunting Group

  The news that the mage reconnaissance team encountered evil ghost soldiers in front quickly spread back to the West Route Army ghost pattern soldiers and ants.

When I heard that the magician was attacked by ghost warriors, the army of soldiers and ants was marching northward along the edge of the dense forest. The attacked magician had returned safely with the help of his companions. According to the introduction of Master Basil, the army that attacked him There was only one ghost warrior, and there were no signs of the activities of the ghost army around.

  Surdak spread a map on a stone covered with moss.

  The air here is humid, the grass on the edge of the woodland is like a huge and water-absorbing carpet, even the boulders are covered with moss, the trees in the jungle are covered with vines, and small animals hiding in the forest can be seen everywhere.

A group of soldier ants carrying heavy armored infantry passed by Surdak. These soldier ants seemed to like this humid and warm environment very much, and the food here was more abundant. They were born with six legs and walked on soft feet. The grass carpet moved forward, even faster than the magic-weave warhorse.

  Suldak marked a small red flag at the corresponding position on the map.

From the map, the Samosto River is located on the eastern border of Handanal County, with a length of thousands of kilometers from north to south. Its source is the convergence of countless mountain streams in the northern mountains of Handanal County. This jungle meanders for hundreds of kilometers, entering a great rift valley on the southeastern border of Handanal County, going south through Epsom County, etc., and finally merging into the Kampatomos River.

   It can be said that the Samosto River is also a tributary of the Kampatomos River.

   The ghost warriors who haunted here probably came out of the mountains of Moyun Ridge, or they might be the scout squad sent by the ghost army that occupied Kornberg County.

   Handanal County is adjacent to Kornberg County, and the dividing line between the two counties is the Moss River, another tributary of the Kampatomos River.

Now the Duke of Newman has stationed nearly half of the elite troops of the Bena Army along the Moss River, not only to prevent the evil ghost army from Kornberg County from attacking Handanal County, but also to hope that after the death of Duke Ryan , the Bena Corps was able to have a chance to rush into Kornberg County.

   But now Suldak actually found traces of evil spirits in the Samostuo River Basin, which is at least a thousand miles away from Moyun Ridge, so no matter what, it is necessary to investigate where the evil spirit scouting team came from.

  Suldak ordered a knight behind him: "Go and call Gulitum and Tago!"

"yes."

  The cavalry who sent the order immediately rode forward and ran forward.

   Not long after, the two-headed ogre and wolf knight Tiger ran over from the front of the team.

  The two of them have never seen the dark corps of the abyss force, let alone the ghost warrior, and they all showed strong curiosity about the ghost warrior.

  The two-headed ogre prefers this humid and warm environment, but the Frostwolf Bonita doesn't like it very much. Its silver mane will always get wet, and it looks very embarrassed.

   But here is next to the jungle, so Tiger occasionally takes Bonita into the forest to hunt, which is more interesting than the flat plain.

"Look, according to the information provided by the mage investigation team, the ghost warriors were found beside this valley. I need to know whether the ghost warriors sneaking into this jungle are a reconnaissance team or an advance army. Litem has a wealth of experience in jungle survival, and Tiger is an excellent tracker." Suldak paused at this point, and then said: "So this time you will take a team of constructed knights to .”

  Hearing what Suldak said, the ogre and the wolf knight looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

"yes."

  The two said in unison.

   "This time magician scout Basil will be your guide and cooperate with the magician for the first time, so I hope you will always respect him." Suldak reminded them.

"Don't worry, Dak. I know he can see farther than us in the sky, especially on mountain roads. He can help us find the most suitable pass to cross. We won't offend him so recklessly!" Gulitum assured by patting his chest road.

  Suldak saw a druid sitting on the back of the ghost pattern soldier ant, talking and laughing with a heavy armored infantry passing by, so he called the young druid over.

   "Lenny, come here!"

  The aborigines of the southern tribes of the Bailin plane believe in the Son of Nature. They learned part of the power of the laws of nature from the world tree. Therefore, in the past year, many aborigines have become druids.

  These druids can not only use their spiritual power to communicate with the ghost-striped soldier ants, but their greatest ability is actually to communicate with the plants in the forest.

  Of course not just any plant, they can only communicate with a small number of plants in the forest that have memory.

The young druid immediately manipulated the ghost pattern soldier ant to stop beside Suldak, he slipped off from the soldier ant, gave a deep salute to Suldak, and said respectfully: "Lord Suldak , what are your orders?"

  Ghost pattern soldier ant slowly lowered down beside him, lying on the side quietly, the huge black compound eyes on its head always make people shudder.

"Lenny, I need you to set off with Gulitum and Tiger to explore here!" Suldak pointed to the place with a small flag on the map and said, "I need to borrow your ability to track down The movements of those evil spirits."

   "I am willing to serve you!" the young druid Ilanni said to Suldak.

  Suldak wanted to say a few more words to Gullitum.

  Andrew chased up from behind the team. He should have heard about it, and asked expectantly:

   "Dark, what about me? This kind of thing is quite suitable for me. Let me also take a cavalry squad to investigate."

Suldak had already started packing the map on the stone. He rolled the parchment map into a tube and inserted it into the satchel behind the horse's buttocks, then turned over and said, "I know you are more suitable, but I need you to stay and help me." Manage this army of soldier ants."

  Andrew scratched his head, looked at the army of soldier ants several kilometers long in front of him, although he was a little reluctant, he didn't say anything.

  Then Wolf Cavalry Tiger and Gullitum set off with a team of soldier ants.

  Originally they wanted to bring a well-trained cavalry squad, but because they had to go through the jungle, which was full of vines, it would take a lot of effort to open a path for the cavalry to pass through.

   Traveling through the jungle in front of me is not a difficult task for these ghost pattern soldiers.

  Not only are they extremely powerful, but they also wear hard armor and have huge fangs on their heads. It is very easy to open a path through the forest.

  Suldak followed the army of soldiers and ants and continued to march north.

  …

  Because the road chosen by Suldak did not match the route planned by the military department, the supplies of the logistics department could not be supplied in time.

And this soldier ant army not only has 50,000 ghost pattern soldier ants, but also 50,000 heavy armored infantry, each heavy armored infantry only carried 15 days of marching rations, which was not enough to support them to reach the forest farm camp, so along the way, we have to keep hunting some small animals in the forest as rations.

  These soldier ants are natural hunters, even if they are wild rabbits hiding in burrows, they can dig them out of the soil.

  Those wild boars are even more difficult to escape the poisonous hands of these ghost pattern soldier ants.

  At this time, Suldak finally saw the scene of the ghost-striped red ants forming a beast swarm in the jungle.

  In addition, the rations purchased by Aphrodite from the Hailansa Merchant Group were also brought over by Suldak in batches through the Void Gate, so the supplies of the soldier ant army are still very sufficient.

  Originally, Surdak just planned to walk north along the edge of the jungle, trying to reach the forest farm camp earlier.

  But the news that Gullitum and Wolf Knight Tiger sent back from the banks of the Samostuo River made him hesitate.

  At night, Suldak sat in the tent with Andrew.

A horse lantern was hung on the top of the tent, and the soft light released illuminated the map on the carpet. Suldak used a red pen to expand the Samosto River Basin on the map, and said to Andrew: " At present, it can be confirmed that a large number of ghost fighters are scattered along the banks of this river..."

   "What are they hiding here?" Andrew stroked his thick beard on his chin.

Suldak said: "There are still some indigenous tribes hidden in the mountains east of the Samostuo River, and many community-type animals nearby will often drink water by the river. The various resources there are very rich, and those evil spirits also need It's full, so I guess there's a ghost hunting army hiding there."

  Andrew knew what Suldak was struggling with. He wanted to eat these evil spirits, but he didn't want to delay his trip.

  Duke Newman hoped that his army could arrive along the line of the forest camp as soon as possible to replace the elite of the Benar Legion.

"How about this, most of our West Route Army are heavy armored infantry, why not let Samira and Carrie Decker lead the other half of the West Route Army along the planned route, so that the supplies will be abundant, You can take a rest in Handanal City on the way." Andrew said with some excitement: "We will take these ghost pattern soldiers and heavy armored infantry fighters, sneak into the forest, and quickly eliminate the group of evil spirits , and then use the speed advantage of the soldier ants to go around to the front and join Samira and the others."

   Actually, Suldak thought so too.

  He was just worried that once the army got entangled with the group of evil spirits in the jungle, they would not be able to eat or take off, that would be the most troublesome thing.

   "Since we met, there is no need to avoid it!" Andrew added.

   Hearing what Andrew said, Suldak also broke his heart and said:

   "Then let's do it. Tomorrow morning, we will take the soldier ant army and turn around to drill into the woods. Let's go to the Samostuo River to get rid of the group of evil spirits first..."

  Andrew and Suldak clapped their hands together, and shouted excitedly: "Just wait for your words! We can't be cowardly at this time."
