His tribal chiefs nodded their heads in agreement.
"Is that a problem at the copper mine?" Surdak asked strangely.
The heads of the fathers shook their heads again and said no.
See Surdak a face of doubt that Dakuni patriarch just said "Lord Surdak, you have achieved brilliant results in the dark worm valley, but please forgive us for asking you to really stop killing these ghost-patterned soldier ants …"
I didn’t expect that the indigenous tribe that had just been slaughtered by the beast tide was actually these ghost red ant lobbyists.
Surdak asked more doubtfully, "What is this? Why not let me continue hunting these red ants? "
"If we continue to kill, it will affect the life of those Peng birds living on the cliff of the northern mountain. These red ants are usually the rations of those Peng birds," explained the chief of the Dakuni tribe. His voice was a little dry
"Red ants are numerous and will breed in large numbers every year. Once the number accumulates to a limit, a beast tide will break out …"
Surdak didn’t know these indigenous people had a deeper understanding of this forest until he said this. Usually they just don’t say anything.
The chief of the Dakuni tribe continued, "But if you clean up these ghost-striped red ants on a large scale after the animal tide, they will quickly reduce their numbers. Once they can’t catch enough to feed their stomachs, the red ants will pass through the forest of Inver cargill and hunt for us in the forest."
"For us, the tide of animals comes once every ten years. Once Pengbirds decide that they can eat enough food, I’m afraid we will live in the hills and mountains. You know … they are the masters here!"
Surdak nodded slightly to show that he knew.
Then he said, "Although the northern expedition was not very successful … I originally planned to occupy the dark worm valley, but the strength of the red ant with ghost stripes here is beyond my imagination. Now I accept your persuasion that I will withdraw my troops one after another and retreat to the Tiesuoqiao camp in the mountain stream."
"After this large-scale encirclement and suppression operation, it is estimated that it will be carried out once every winter to control the number of these ghost-striped red ants …"
"In addition, the Tiesuoqiao camp will not be removed. It will become the bridgehead of the northern border of the imperial army and the entrance of the northern hunting ground of the Bailin plane. I will put this hunting ground in the northern area with adventure groups and mercenary groups. Of course, tribal hunters can also hunt ghost-striped red ants here."
He looked up and said to Andrew and Samira at the door, "Prepare an army of trench and leave the cavalry battalion in Shiqiao camp first to take charge of the patrol …"
Many indigenous chiefs didn’t think that he would be so decisive to withdraw troops and rise up to salute Surdak.
Chapter 921 Return to Duodan Town
Samira armed the thunder rhinoceros platform and looked up at the Peng birds flying in the sky. She hoped that these Peng birds could fly lower so that she could have a chance to shoot these big birds wandering in the sky with a bow in her hand.
It is said that these Peng birds in the indigenous tribes are bound to be associated with each other. No one in the indigenous tribes has ever tried to hunt Peng birds.
They think that these Pengbirds on the cliff of Tianzhu Mountain are their guardians. When the imperial army entered the Bailin plane, the indigenous army and Pengbirds jointly resisted those troops. Unfortunately, the alliance army was dissolved after the grassland of the indigenous army was defeated by the imperial cavalry.
Like Reservoir Dogs, the indigenous tribes were driven away from the fertile central grassland by the imperial cavalry journey to the south. The original indigenous tribes also planned to build a natural barrier with the help of the thorn mountain. Unfortunately, the imperial cavalry occupied the thorn mountain with one puff and drove the indigenous tribes into the forest of Warcraft in Inver cargill for survival.
After the allied forces of the indigenous tribes were scattered, Pengniao also returned to the northern cliffs, but they were the overlord of Bailin plane, which had always dominated the Bailin plane and migrated from Bena province, because these Pengniao birds failed to break out of the port pier on Bailin plane.
Mainly because these Peng birds always attack those magic airships, they can chop out a series of flashes in their mouths. This powerful flash happens to be the weapon to restrain the floating device. There has never been a magic airship on the Bailin plane.
Of course, another reason why there has been no harbor pier is that the occupied area of Bailin plane is not large.
The idea that every indigenous warrior pays tribute to these birds has gradually influenced the whole army.
The army crossed the poison marsh, and 3,000 tribal warriors crossed the iron chain bridge first. Then Samira led the archer brigade and finally returned to the barracks on the south slope of the canyon.
Andrew’s cavalry will stay in the iron chain bridge camp to continue their garrison.
The joint forces of the adventure group and the mercenary group followed Surdak’s army back to Inver cargill Forest. Of course, some members of the adventure group chose to stay in Tiesuoqiao camp.
The northern expedition officially ended on the day when Surdak crossed the cable bridge.
……
The first to dissolve was the indigenous warriors from various tribes, who returned to the tribes with their own fighting interests.
In this expedition, the indigenous warriors gained a lot. Almost everyone left the barracks with two magic stones, wearing an imperial armor and wearing a craftsman’s epee, carrying a tower shield and a Paglio spear.
These armor and weapons will be their roots in the forest of Inver cargill, and they will continue to fight for the tribe for the next time.
Surdak archer brigade and cavalry battalion are much simpler. They just record their own achievements. No one foolishly receives the magic crystal at this time. Everyone accumulates merits and exchanges them for some better magic weapons.
It has almost become a trend to exchange magic weapons in the military camp of Merit.
Although Surdak lost a lot of bed crossbows and catapults, he captured more than 30,000 magic nuclei. According to past experience, it is estimated that half of the magic nuclei can produce complete magic spar, which can just compensate for the loss in the second battle.
Harvesting the shards of magic stone can also repay the salaries of the soldiers.
In addition, he also harvested two giant male ant heads, which are more valuable, and the senior magic nucleus in the skull is also extraordinary
Surdak didn’t know that the monster was called the male ant overseer by magicians until he chatted with the indigenous warriors after the iron chain bridge.
This time, the giant ghost-tattooed soldier ants in the Northern Expedition also hunted nearly a hundred, which is probably the real purpose of Surdak’s trip. He harvested nearly 300′ strength and toughness’ magic stripes this time and put them into his magic pocket.
Surdak intends to continue to expand the cavalry battalion, but this time, among the more than 200 soldiers killed, more than 40 Chinese cavalry died. The cavalry were all a group of veterans, and Gensoul Dudak was annoyed.
He also needs to pay a large pension.
Surdak didn’t stay in the canyon camp for too long, but the army camp rested for three days and then continued to move towards the copper mine.
……
Surdak rushed to the copper mine, and the copper mine was still in order.
However, due to the cold weather, the labor efficiency has been greatly reduced.
Surdak feels that the free market here has become more lively than it was two months ago. It has even become a material transfer place, and the materials and magical herbs of Zhanli and Warcraft brought back from Tiesuoqiao camp have made many businessmen flock.
Many caravans dare not venture into the front war zone and wait here. They try to purchase some materials shipped from the front, some even sell them in the copper mine trading market, and some are shipped back to Wilkes City, so that they can earn the difference inside.
There are a lot of goods sold here, and the market is very lively. There are always some adventures rushing to the copper mine to find gold.
Businessman Maracombe Thunder Rhino Team is now mainly responsible for transporting tons of copper ingots produced by copper mines. He has transferred five nearby Thunder Rhino caravans here to alternately transport these materials to Wilkes City.
Some members of the adventure group in the prosperous copper mine have also returned to the copper mine one after another
Some indigenous warriors also followed the army back to the copper mine. They tried to buy some food and supplies in the market with two magic stones.
At this time, they discovered that two magic spar can really buy a lot of materials.
The aborigines need to change the magic spar into some gold coins and then change the gold coins into some silver coins before they can go to the free market to buy things.
……
When I returned to Surdak, Duodan Town, I found that although it was winter, there were still some construction sites and some workers who were working hard against the north wind. Many things happened in Duodan Town these days.
