Lord Highlander

  Chapter 933 919. The horn of counterattack

On the second day after Suldak took back the Stone Bridge camp, he led the cavalry battalion to the battlefield in the sand by the lake. In addition to the remains of two giant male ants, there were thousands of ghost soldiers in the ashes. The magic core left by the ants.

  The ghost pattern red ants were defeated very cleanly, and the soldier ants left the Shiqiao camp and the lake completely, leaving behind a large number of burned remains of the soldier ants.

  In the early morning, the cold north wind raged on the lake, and the remnant snow was blown up by the wind and drifted farther away.

Against the north wind, the cavalry beat the carbonized skeletons of soldier ants with hammers on the battlefield by the lake. Some of the skeletons were burned white, and they became shattered when touched lightly, and even some fragments were blown away by the wind. Some bones are soaked in tar, and they will become hard and brittle. If you want to break this kind of bones, you have to hit them with all your strength. Some bones are not completely burned, and even maintain the true color of the hard armor. It will be much easier.

  These magic cores, which are like coal balls, are very inconspicuous in the pile of bones, and it is not easy to find them all.

  The cavalry needs to identify the number of bones from the initial state of the bones, which is also the approximate number of magic cores, and then they need to clean up and find them bit by bit.

   It is not necessary to smash all the bones, but this battlefield is indeed very large, and there are many wreckages.

  The cavalry were the first to enter the battlefield. By the time the archers joined, they had made themselves like coal diggers in a mine, and they could only see colors when they smiled and blinked.

   But what surprised everyone was the number of soldier ants that died. Thousands of ghost pattern soldier ants burned to ashes on the battlefield just after the red dragon breathed out a few times.

  This dimensionality reduction strike across levels allows everyone to clearly understand the terrifying power of high-level monsters.

  Just the revenue brought to Suldak by the magic cores looted from these ghost pattern soldier ants can almost make up for nearly one-fifth of the loss after the defeat of the Stone Bridge Camp.

   It's a pity that a lot of hard armor leather has been lost.

The remains of the giant male ant were not well preserved. The corpse of the male ant was covered with sour liquid, and the entire hard armor was burnt mottled. The flesh and blood were also eaten by other ghost pattern soldier ants.

   From a distance, it looks like the wreckage of two huge magic mechas. When you walk in, you find that there is actually no use value at all.

   Probably the soldiers in the army were frightened by Iser. Seeing him riding into the battlefield, his expression was not as relaxed and casual as before, and everyone's eyes were full of awe.

It took the army a whole day to clean up more than half of the battlefield. The main reason was that the value of the magic core was too high. The soldiers would rather be careful and slower than to miss anything. Moreover, the entire battlefield was burned down. In some places, the remaining snow and ice melted, and then condensed into ice with the bones after the fire was extinguished. This part is even more difficult to deal with.

  In recent days, the Stone Bridge camp got dark relatively early.

  In the evening, Surdak stood by the lake, looking up at the sky.

  The sky is covered with gray clouds, and there is a heavy snow that is about to fall.

  Once these wrecks are buried in the snow, it is even more difficult to dig them out.

   Watching the soldiers dragging their exhausted bodies back to the camp in pitch black, they had been frozen in the wind and snow for a whole day, and their physical strength had been exhausted.

  Suldak still feels that he will continue to collect these magic cores tomorrow morning.

  The heavy snow began to fall in the middle of the night, and the snowflakes like goose feathers floated down silently, and soon piled up a thick layer on the ground.

  The soldiers lying in the tents of the barracks climbed out of the tents one after another. Before they had time to clean up the snow covering the tents, they picked up the hammers and ran towards the battlefield by the lake against the wind and snow.

   In the heavy snow, rush to smash the wreckage that has not been searched, and when the snow is not too deep, **** the magic core out overnight.

   After dawn, the entire Stone Bridge camp was covered by two feet of snow, and the pitch-black battlefield was completely buried in the snow.

  Watching the last scorched ghost-striped soldier ant's head being smashed into pieces, in the morning light, the soldiers wearing a thick layer of ice armor cheered, and everyone happily returned to the camp at this time.

  In this kind of cold weather, you must eat more high-calorie foods to keep out the cold. The ghost pattern soldier ants are not rich in fat, but it is also a good delicacy to cook with canned luncheon meat brought from the rear.

  It snowed heavily all night, almost crushing more than half of the marching tents in the Shiqiao Camp.

  The soldiers rebuilt their tents in the bitter cold wind, and then got into their sleeping bags to sleep soundly...

  …

  After the lake surface froze, it was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the most common sight on the snow was the pointed footprints of ghost pattern soldier ants.

In order to prevent a large number of ghost-striped soldiers from crossing the icy lake to attack the Stone Bridge camp, Suldak placed a large amount of explosives on the icy lake. These explosives were buried in the ice by the cavalry, and the fuzes soaked in beeswax criss-crossed. hiding under the snow.

  He didn't take advantage of the Red Dragon Iser's heavy damage to the army of ghost pattern red ants, and crossed the ice lake to attack the dark insect valley at the foot of Shizhu Mountain.

In fact, although the foot of the mountain is full of caves of red ants, it is only the outermost entrance of the dark insect valley. The food survived the severe winter.

  So there was no war for a few days.

The allied forces of the adventure group and the mercenary group also re-camped by the lake. The magical herbs in this area had been looted by this group almost before the heavy snowfall. Now there is no trace of the ghost-striped red ants. Many people are on the battlefield Search for usable materials from the wreckage.

   Of course, the remains of the two giant male ants are also their key search targets.

By the time Andrew led the cavalry battalion across the lake again, it was already the fourth day after the heavy snowfall. This time the cavalry arrived at the entrance of the Dark Worm Valley at the foot of the mountain. Plenty of ant nest entrances.

  The ghost-striped worker ants seemed to disappear without a trace after the heavy snow, but occasionally some dark red ghost-striped soldier ants appeared at the entrance of the ant nest.

   They seemed to be afraid of the cold, so they didn't get out of the ant nest, and Andrew didn't attack rashly.

  Latu led the bed crossbow repair team to patch together six catapults in a few days, and this time they followed the cavalry battalion across the icy lake and stopped on the lake.

  As Samira personally ignited the oak powder barrels for throwing the ball, the six barrels of explosives were thrown out in constant tumbling, and finally exploded at the entrance of the ant nest.

  The catapult bombing lasted only half a day, and the ghost pattern soldier ants came out of the ant nests in all directions again as Suldak expected. They gathered an army by the lake to confront the army on the surface of Suldak.

   Probably because they didn’t see the red dragon in the sky, the ghost-patterned soldiers began to charge towards the lake…
