From Wild Mage to Wizard King
Chapter 275 Blocking the Passage
The sun shines on the earth, and caravans from the coalition army are slowly walking on the road leading to the northern rebels.
The connection between the rebels and the coalition army is not close, largely because of the inconvenient roads between the two sides.
Intermittent mountains, dense and dangerous forests, and impassable swamps.
Various complex and dangerous terrains that are difficult to pass separate the two sides, with only a few safe passages explored by the former Knight Kingdom.
Most of these safe passages are blocked by fortresses. It can be said that as long as these fortresses are controlled, all connections between the rebels and the coalition army can be controlled.
However, due to being in dangerous terrain, the maintenance costs of these fortresses are not low. Therefore, although the coalition army has the ability to control all these fortresses, due to various internal factors, these fortresses were eventually thrown to the rebels by the coalition army.
In the past, no one really cared about these fortresses. After all, there was no benefit, and even money had to be paid, so Locke could only be responsible.
But since Roland Jiuqi developed, and he pulled the local faction to form a joint chamber of commerce, the fortresses have become fragrant.
A large number of caravans come and go, and the tax collection alone can make a lot of money. Therefore, both the local faction and the border faction have become interested in the fortress.
Due to the struggle between the two factions, the fortress was divided into two, with the local faction and the border faction each in charge of half.
Due to the United Chamber of Commerce, Roland, who was trusted by the local faction, was constantly persuaded by the local faction and reluctantly deployed the army of Jiuqi to the fortress controlled by the local faction.
The local faction saved money on raising troops, and Roland successfully extended his tentacles to these fortresses.
In a fortress located at the mouth of two mountains and blocking the passage, everything seemed to be as usual, which of course was impossible.
"Alas, why is it closed in advance? The sun hasn't set yet."
A merchant shouted loudly as he looked at the slowly closing city gate in front of him.
"Don't close it, I haven't left the city yet."
Before he could say a few more words, a noisy sound came from the front.
Hearing the sound in front, the merchant was also curious about what happened in front, so he quickly climbed onto the truck and looked at the situation in front from a distance.
And the moment he looked over, his heart stopped instantly.
At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers armed to the teeth were quickly taking over the city defense, and the merchants at the gate of the city retreated to the rear in fear.
The reason for the fear, in addition to the soldiers, was probably the dozen guards who died tragically at the gate of the city.
Seeing this scene, the merchant also reacted immediately, something big was going to happen, hurry up.
Just as he climbed down in a panic and was about to command the caravan to run away, a large number of elite soldiers came out from both sides of the street and surrounded all the caravans. A knight with a strong aura came out and shouted.
"The whole city is under martial law, please don't walk around, otherwise, don't blame our weapons for being ruthless."
That being said, the besieged chamber of commerce was still a little confused about this situation.
Seeing this, the knight shouted again.
"Everyone!"
"Bang!"
Following the knight's voice, the soldiers surrounding the merchants knocked their shields and took a step towards them.
Faced with the murderous intent coming from all directions, everyone in the encirclement immediately quieted down.
"Don't worry, everyone, you just need to wait here for a while, it will be over soon."
After saying that, the knight turned and left, leaving only the soldiers surrounding them.
Similar situations are constantly happening in various parts of the city.
The gates of each city, important buildings in the city, and traffic arteries were forcibly taken over by legion soldiers. Public places and crowded places were also restricted in place. Patrols appeared on the streets of the city, bringing the entire city under compulsory military control.
Since the legion soldiers were originally the garrison of the fortress, the legion soldiers easily took over the entire city.
The only conflict was the legion soldiers' strangulation of the local faction extraordinary people.
However, these strangulations did not make a particularly big noise. With a few explosions and roars, the local faction members in the fortress were solved one by one.
The entire city was completely under the control of the legionnaires.
After the legionnaires took control of the situation, the officials of the old Qi who had come here in advance as merchants of the United Chamber of Commerce also quickly took over the operation of the city.
They moved out all the food and gold and silver prepared in advance, and bought all the goods of merchants in the city at the market price.
Of course, it was not a forced purchase, and it was okay if they didn't want to sell.
But the fortress was closed, and no merchant would be allowed to go to the rebels. If they didn't sell, they could only transport it back again.
Therefore, after repeated consideration, most caravans sold on the spot.
As for making trouble, looking at the elite soldiers patrolling the city and the extraordinary people who appeared from time to time, there were few fools who dared to make trouble.
After clearing all the caravans, the legionnaires quickly strengthened the defense of the fortress. At the same time, all the purchased Chamber of Commerce materials were transferred and sent away, leaving only food, weapons and equipment and other war materials.
Roland didn't like gambling, because the standard for the legionnaires to strengthen their defenses was that they could hold out for half a year while being attacked from both sides and besieged by the local faction and the intervention forces of the coalition forces.
At the same time, similar things happened in other fortresses.
The fortresses controlled by the local faction were taken over and controlled by the soldiers and officials arranged by Roland in advance.
The border faction skipped the takeover process, closed the gates directly, sent away the merchants, and strengthened defense.
Now, to the west is the chaotic and dangerous border zone with the Silver Empire, to the north is the towering Dragon Ridge Mountains, and to the east is the inaccessible dead land and dangerous green tide. The only passage connecting to the outside world is also completely controlled.
On the day of the Black Rock City coup, the new war committee quickly cut off all contact between the rebels and the outside world.
As long as these fortresses are guarded, it will be difficult for the outside world to discover their internal situation. Even if the news of the civil war spreads, they may not interfere. Moreover, even if they interfere, they are not clear about the situation and may not be determined to interfere in the civil war.
Unless Eleanor is crazy or crazy and is determined to interfere, otherwise, Roland is fully confident that these fortresses can be held until the end of the civil war.
As for the inside, after closing the only passage, it means that the local faction has lost its escape route. Roland can close the door and beat the dog, killing all the local factions in one go.
Even if there are escapees, there won't be too many fish that slip through the net.
Why does the daily subscription still drop when the number is 10,000? No, Qidian Intelligent Push will save my teeth.
