They were not hired by Lord Surdak, but took a fancy to the magic nucleus in the head of those ghost-tattooed soldier ants
This summer, they have already tasted the sweetness behind the Surdak cavalry battalion. This time, Surdak is preparing to March north, and these adventure groups and mercenary groups are incredibly hungry.
Just in the first week of November, the number of adventure groups and mercenary groups on the south bank of Jushanjian has soared to more than 5 thousand
They have almost hunted all the red ants wandering in the opposite forest area.
You can’t see the trace of the ghost-striped red ant across the mountain stream root.
……
Dark clouds layer upon layer, and there is a damp and cold smell in the north wind.
By this time, all the Peng birds in the northern sky had hid in their nests. This was the call-up before the snowstorm. The pale green fog around the dark worm valley was constantly swept to the sky by the north wind.
In such cold weather, the woodland covered with poisonous fog gradually appeared in Surdak’s sight.
You will feel a little stinging as the grains hit your face, and the snow will fall from it, and the fog in the opposite woodland will become lighter.
Five hundred cavalry in the cavalry battalion have been guarding the iron chain bridge on the north bank at the moment. With Surdak’s command, ten armed thunder rhinoceros took the lead in stepping on the iron chain bridge one by one. They crossed the bridge deck with heavy bed crossbows and set up a second line of defense in the north of the iron chain bridge.
One thousand archers and these thunder rhinoceroses marched across the iron chain bridge behind them, followed by 1,500 heavily armored infantry.
By the time 1,500 heavily armored infantry iron chain bridges were built, the cavalry battalion led by Andrew had quickly inserted into the edge of the poison marsh.
Although the snow has dispersed the poisonous fog, the whole swamp is still very difficult to walk, and the biogas trapped in several puddles hides thick moss and weeds on the ground
At ordinary times, it is almost forbidden for cavalry, but now Andrew is going to lead 500 cavalry through here …
Chapter 96 Poisonous marsh war ()
Even when it rains cats and dogs in summer, the poisonous fog is still diffuse and faint. The poisonous fog here will gradually dissipate after it snows in winter. Only in the short period of more than 70 days from mid-November to early February, the dark worm valley naturally forms this door and will be opened to the world.
Fine snow grains cover the poisonous marsh continuously. Although these fine snow grains completely suppress the poisonous fog in the swamp, they also completely cover the whole poisonous marsh.
The line of sight has become a vast expanse of whiteness.
A thin layer of frozen soil has just formed in the poisonous marsh just after winter.
There are thick moss and weeds here. Stepping on the soft and wet grass in ordinary places can almost swallow the calves of pedestrians. This poisonous marsh grass is full of king pits, and even people and horses will fall into it if they are not careful.
The first thing before Andrew’s cavalry is to find a channel with a hard soil surface in this poisonous swamp.
If it is his legion, even with the eagle eye of "boundary vision", I’m afraid it can’t be done. The safest way is for the infantry to try to walk forward, but this kind of exploration like demining will keep the army stranded outside the poison marsh.
Surdak directly set up a makeshift tent to start the sacrificial ceremony and carried out the sacrificial box from his lava cave.
In addition to making the 500 cavalry in front of them have a "blessed body", they also showed their "real eyes" to Andrew, Samira and himself.
Although the’ real eye’ effect can only last for less than half an hour, Surdaki took these soldier ant heads as a sacrifice, and he and Andrew and Samira walked in the front to see the turf through the’ real eye’.
In their eyes, turf, water and soil show two different colors.
Every turf-covered puddle was planted with a flag, and three roads were also planted with small flags along the way.
Three thousand indigenous warriors, five hundred cavalry, and ten thunder rhinoceros are divided into three columns, and they are slowly approaching behind Surdak, Andrew and Samira.
At the end, the adventure group and the mercenary group formed a Coalition to rule out the mistakes.
