   Chapter 819 808. Hills and Mountains

  North of the Thorn Mountains, Hilly Mountains

This is the northernmost boundary line of the Grimm Empire in the area occupied by the Bailin Plane. The boundary markers engraved with the Grimm Empire characters are still standing on this hilly land. These boundary stones form a curve that winds hundreds of kilometers on the hilly land. , encompassing the entire Thorn Mountain Range.

During the beast tide ten years ago, the Bena Legion fought against the ghost-striped red ants along the Thorn Mountain Range. Boundary monuments were buried in the hills and mountains to the north of the mountains, establishing the empire's northern boundary on the Bailin plane.

  Many indigenous tribes from the Bailin plane lived among the mountains, and now it is almost turned into a piece of terracotta.

A large number of ghost-striped ant colonies are constantly wandering in this mountain, and each ant colony maintains a relatively independent colony. They are equivalent to the team of a ghost-striped red ant empire. location, these ghost pattern worker ants will immediately throw themselves into the construction of the empire.

   It's just that these queens didn't build an empire north of the Thorn Mountains.

  The garrison cavalry in Dodan Town came out of the canyon, and a team of nearly a thousand people pulled out a long line of nearly two kilometers in the canyon, followed by ten four-wheeled carriages.

   A group of mercenaries standing at the mouth of the canyon looked at the cavalry team walking out slowly, with envious expressions on their faces.

This group of cavalry should indeed be envied by everyone. Their achievements may not be so dazzling, but all the mercenaries in Dodan Town know that it is this group of cavalry that almost wiped out the ghosts in the Dodan Canyon on their own. Red ants are exterminated.

   Now that they saw the cavalry walking out of the canyon, they knew that their target should be the ghost-striped red ants in the mountains.

For Suldak, without Aphrodite and Selena by his side, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the ant queen in the ant colony for the time being. After all, it was a fourth-level monster. Not long after hatching, but the coercion brought by the high-level monsters it owns is also palpitating.

  Suldak has hunted and killed five ghost ant queens, but he has never really come into close contact with them.

Even the last group of ghost-striped red ants in Prantos town was killed by Samira with a bed crossbow. It can be said that Suldak killed the first and fifth ghost-striped red ants on the bed. Under the giant crossbow arrows of the crossbow.

  The second ghost ant queen rushed into Selina's dark mist and was killed by everyone.

  The third queen and the fourth queen died under the rocks.

  According to Chester Great Swordsman, the Ghost Queen Ant possesses spiritual skills such as mind puncture, mind control, and illusion, so keep a distance as much as possible when fighting with her, otherwise you may be affected by the Ghost Queen Ant.

  Going out of Dodan Canyon to hunt this time, fortunately, Thunder Rhinoceros was following behind with four bed crossbows on its back, otherwise Suldak really wanted to devise a way to hunt the ghost ant queen.

The entire hilly area seemed to have been devoid of living creatures other than ghost-striped red ants for a long time. As soon as the cavalry entered the hills and mountains, some ghost-striped soldier ant scouts wandering outside the ant colony discovered the cavalry team. The queen ant slowly approached the cavalry with a large group of ghost-striped red ants.

   Tens of thousands of red ants in the hills and mountains can almost cover several hills. From a distance, there are red ants all over the mountains and plains.

  Suldak didn't want to face these ghost-striped red ants head-on. They had a steady stream of red ants. No matter how strong the 800 cavalrymen were, they would eventually be exhausted.

  The cavalry brigade stopped a few kilometers away, and only Andrew and the two-headed ogre led fifty first-turn cavalry to kill them directly.

  They circled the ant colony by relying on the running speed of Gu Bolai's horse.

  A large number of soldier ants in the ant colony rushed towards Andrew and the others, and a few giant ghost pattern soldier ants were among them.

  Andrew didn't face the fight, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran in another direction.

  The cavalrymen came and went like the wind in the hilly land, these ghost pattern soldiers ants couldn't catch up with the cavalrymen, they could only eat ashes behind them.

  Suldak led a large cavalry force to wait on a hill at the edge of the canyon.

  After Andrew rode his horse through the ant colony several times, the ant colony, which was originally in a bloated formation, was quickly torn apart by Andrew's cavalry.

  The ant colony, which was originally round, is now like a split continental plate, with gaps everywhere.

Andrew and the two-headed ogre are simply two rascals. They rampage in the ant colony, and they don't fight with the giant ghost-striped soldier ants at all. They just take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to cut wounds on the ghost-striped soldier ants. .

The soldier ants in the ant colony spit acid on the two of them. Andrew has the Earth Shield magic pattern structure, and Gulitum has the frost armor personally blessed by his good brother Naohuaer. Both of them have protective measures. So no one cares much about these sour liquids.

  The two of them are like two sharp arrows, unstoppable in the ant colony.

  Even so, the ghost pattern ant queen did not send out the male ants of the personal guard group, but sent the largest force in the ant colony—the ghost pattern worker ants.

The ghost-striped worker ants are the hard workers at the bottom of the ant colony. The dirtiest and most tiring work in the entire red ant empire is done by the ghost-striped worker ants. Even the queen of the ant wants to store some rations, and these ghost-striped worker ants eat the food. The nutrients in the stomach are converted into sugar, and finally become a honeypot for storing honey, and then hung on the roof of the cave to dry slowly.

  Although these ghost pattern worker ants do not have much combat effectiveness, their biggest feature is their large number.

  They rushed out of the ant colony according to the queen's instructions, trying to surround the cavalrymen. As long as they could drag these cavalrymen back, the ghost pattern soldier ants that came up behind would entangle the cavalrymen tightly.

  Where would the cavalry give them such an opportunity? They took these ghost-striped red ants to run around in the mountains, and if they had the opportunity to launch a charge, of course they would not miss it.

   The tug-of-war lasted for a whole day, and the corpses of ghost-striped worker ants were everywhere in the surrounding hills and mountains.

The cavalry led the ant colony to the edge of Dodan Canyon several times. Unfortunately, the ghost-striped male ants just didn't want to leave the ant colony. They also protected the ghost-striped queen in every possible way. willing to leave.

  When the sun was about to set, I saw the 'Path of Fire' burning again behind the two-headed ogre.

  The two-headed ogre ran vigorously in the hills and mountains, no matter where it ran, there were flames burning there.

   But these red ants are very afraid of fire, even if the flame wall is two feet high, the red ants are unwilling to cross.

In the end, these ghost-striped red ants could only be led by the nose by the two-headed ogre. Andrew led a group of cavalry to wander outside these ant colonies. It's the queen ant, and she doesn't have the ability to restrict Andrew's coming and going.

  The cavalrymen kept harassing the ant colony, each time there were only a hundred or so cavalrymen.

   It wasn't until two days later that the ghost-striped worker ants and soldier ants outside the ant colony were all cleaned up, and the queen trapped in the middle of more than 30 ghost-striped drones realized that she had lost the best time to escape.

   Just as the giant crossbow arrows continued to shoot down, the ghost-striped male ants fell down one after another in the mountains.

  At the last moment, the ghost ant queen finally realized that she was about to die, she no longer cared about the birds in the sky, and rushed towards the sky with her wings fluttering.

  A giant crossbow bolt wrapped in wind elements on the shaft hit it, piercing its chest cavity...
