Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Dragon's Breath

This is a general term for a line of defense located at the junction of the human kingdom and the orc kingdom. The entire Longxi Pass defense line has eighteen large cities as the fulcrum, and is supplemented by dozens of small cities and hundreds of military castles. The defense line stretches thousands of miles and is hundreds of miles deep. , the most important pass is the Dragon's Breath Pass in the middle.

The wall of Longxi Pass is nearly 25 meters high, and the thickest part of the base is also nearly 10 meters. Ordinary siege equipment will splash some flying stones on the high strength of Longxi Pass at most, which will not threaten the defense of the pass at all.

There are all kinds of defensive weapons on the gate, and heavy troops are stationed all year round. If you want to break the main gate of Dragon's Breath Pass, you can't even think about it without paying a sufficient price. Although the orcs have gradually suppressed human beings for a hundred years, but There were only a few times when they hit the Dragon's Breath Pass, and usually it was just a tentative attack and then retreated.

At this time, the kingdom's five dragon knights gathered here. Even Sol, who has been in charge of the king's capital all year round, also came to Longxi Pass for the first time. He was also stationed with a hundred thousand imperial troops from the king's capital.

There have been too many troops coming to Guancheng recently, and the originally spacious Longxi Pass has become a bit crowded after more than 100,000 people have been stuffed in. More troops can only form a stronghold along the Guancheng.

If you look down from the sky above Longxiguan at this time, the camps centered on Longxiguan surround the city like half a pie, and the crowds below seem to be denser than ants. The current Longxiguan , in addition to the original garrison of more than two million elites, a large number of troops were also mobilized from the southern part of the kingdom and the central plain, and even the forbidden army stationed in Jinlongdu for a long time came to fight with five legions.

In addition to the auxiliary civilian soldiers and a small number of civilians living here, the Qianlilongxiguan defense line has tens of millions of people in it, and now, there are still troops gathering in a steady stream.

Dragon's Breath Pass

To say that this is a majestic pass is to say that this is a large city with military functions. Because of its special location, it is in a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has been given more military functions.

There are hundreds of thousands of people living in the city, half of them are soldiers guarding the pass, and the other half are ordinary people. The economic model in which the army is the center of consumption depends entirely on the army's expenses. To give the simplest example, the best business in this Dragon's Breath Pass is those small buildings with pink curtains, and such small buildings are in the Dragon's Breath. There are as many streets as there are in Guancheng.

Because it is close to the territory of the orcs, the people in this city are also somewhat brave. Whether it is useful or not, most pedestrians on the street have the habit of carrying swords and hanging knives. If there is an emergency, they can also take out knives to resist the orcs. That dust.

However, during this period of time, the people in the city felt much more at ease than before. Before the orcs were pressing, and there were often small groups of orcs snooping, which caused the alarm bells to ring in the city. The imperial army even gathered five dragon knights for an unprecedented time. It can be said that the defensive power of the entire city has reached the highest level in a century.

Only a few people feel more panic about the gathering of the five dragon knights, which seems to be the eve of the war...

The official residence of the city lord of Longxi Pass.

Solgao sat on the main seat, and a row of senior officers lined up on both sides.

"Where is Duke Ross now?"

"My lord, Lord Rose's Western Territory Army has entered the range of Longxi Pass the day before yesterday, and has entered Nanwang City yesterday."

Nanwang City is also one of the 18 major cities in the Longxiguan defense line. It is located in the south of the defense line. It is about 200 kilometers away from the main pass of Longxiguan. In the past, it was a main channel for the human army to go east to conquer the orcs. It's just that in the past hundred years, humans have basically only defended and not attacked. The role of Nanwang City is much lower than before. Pick up the original function of Nanwang City.

"What about the north? Where is Duke Hunter?"

"Duke Hunter just arrived near Hill City yesterday, and he should be able to arrive at Dragonscale Castle the soonest the day after tomorrow."

"Um."

Saul nodded, obviously satisfied with the movements of the two wings.

"Are the golden dragons in Duke Hunter's army supported by the golden dragon clan? This generation of dragon knights..."

"Don't ask if you shouldn't."

The twenty-odd giant dragons that Li Cha brought to Longxi Pass flew so conspicuously in mid-air that anyone who wasn't blind could see them. Many soldiers and officers on the northern front had seen those giant dragons with their own eyes. Finally, someone couldn't help asking Saul curiously, but Saul didn't know how to explain it to others, so he simply blocked the questioner back with one sentence.

"My lord, are we doing anything this time?"

The person who was questioning was the senior general who was originally stationed at Longxiguan. Although Ren and Saul did a good job of keeping secrets, they have been using reasonable reasons to transfer troops to Longxiguan and accelerate the hoarding of food and supplies.

But the generals at Longxiguan are not fools. At first they thought that the kingdom was strengthening the defenses of Longxiguan, but they could understand that they had hoarded more food and supplies and sent hundreds of thousands of reinforcements. Now it is only the legions directly under the kingdom. That's an increase of nearly two million, and two dukes from the west of the Northland were also transferred over.

As a general who has been down-to-earth to settle various armies, he has already realized some problems, so he simply asked them out through this military meeting.

"Well, we will indeed take action this time. Ten days later, I will lead everyone to attack from Dragon's Breath Pass, and take the initiative to attack the orc camp in front of the pass."

"ah?"

"Are you actively attacking?"

"Hahaha, are you finally going to attack? Recently, I have been passively beaten. I can't bear it long ago. The Ninth Legion petitioned to be the forward."

The content of Sol's words exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt. Although these generals had some similar guesses, it was still a bit unexpected when Sol said it himself.

After all, human beings have been shrunk for a hundred years. Some of these people have spent half their lives in the defense line of Longxiguan, and they have never encountered a few active attacks, let alone an attack of this scale.

And after getting Saul's affirmative news, the following generals also showed different attitudes, some were worried, some hesitated, and some were excited and wanted to attack immediately.

Most of the generals who want to take the initiative to fight are young generals. They have not suffered too much in small-scale battles, and their spirit has been worn down. They are just depressed and want to take the initiative to attack and vent.

The worry is for some veterans, most of them are not greedy for life or fear of death, but most of them have dealt with orcs for half their lives, and they know how big the gap between human soldiers and orc soldiers is in the field. If there is no terrain to rely on, there will be no three or four times It is difficult not to feel worried even if the number of troops is even slightly stalemate with the orc army.

"The missions of each army are arranged, and the vanguard belongs to your Ninth Army without any dispute."

"Thank you Lord Saul, I guarantee that my Ninth Army will only be at the front of the army. If I fall behind the army, it must be because my head is no longer on this neck."

The rest of the generals looked at each other and knew that Sol didn't mean to discuss anything with them, but to give orders directly, and they had made some preparations before. Now it is obvious that there is no room for discussion if they speak out in a fair manner. No matter what worries they still have in their hearts, they still stand up one after another and ask Sol to assign tasks.

"The First Army, the Sixth Army, the Ninth Army, and the Eleventh Army opened the way for the vanguard and the army, and cleared the obstacles ahead."

"The Third Army, Eighth Army, and Twelfth Army are responsible for taking down the three wooden villages in the southwest direction after exiting the customs."

"Fourth Legion, Seventh Legion..."

"Yes, my lord."

Sol quickly ordered the missions of the various legions, and the generals below kept standing up. Sol is extremely knowledgeable about soldiers, and he also knows the terrain outside Dragon's Breath. In recent decades, few All the small-scale outings were directed by Saul.

So Saul arranged almost every aspect of the task, and there was nothing to be picky about when it came to making plans, and the generals below only needed to do what they should.

After Saul assigned the task, he didn't immediately let the generals present leave to prepare, but continued to speak.

"Recently, no windbirds should be released from the army, no one should leave the camps, and the news must not be leaked."

"Yes, my lord!"

When Sol said this, the generals below also had serious expressions on their faces. They all knew the importance. This kind of action must be sudden. Time counts time.

Although the orcs are strong in battle, they are not as rich and powerful as the Golden Dragon Kingdom. Under uncertain circumstances, they will not easily mobilize the army to take precautions. They just need to be more vigilant. Facing the human army that is going all out, they simply need to be more vigilant Obviously not enough.

However, after the order was finished, Sol did not let everyone go, but clapped his hands and invited a group of armored sergeants in. However, although these people were wearing standard armor, they did not have the temperament of soldiers, but rather had a somewhat gloomy look. breath.

"These orderlies have been in charge of the daily life of the generals recently, and I hope that the generals will not leave the camp easily."

This can be regarded as an aboveboard release of people to monitor these generals. The matter has been planned for so long, and Sol doesn't want to make mistakes at such a critical moment, so he will naturally make more arrangements.

After all, the Rising Sun Sect is hidden so deep, who knows if there will be members of the Rising Sun Sect among the generals in the Dragon's Breath Pass.

Although Sol didn't say it clearly, everyone knew who these so-called orderlies were. Normally, they were only under surveillance for a few days, and they all nodded their heads before taking the spies from the black prison away.

Leaving Sol and the other four dragon knights also making final preparations in the Santo's Mansion.

Dragonscale Fort

Although it is a castle, it is actually a small city. It used to be one of the fulcrums of the human army on the northern line. From the map, starting from Dragonscale Fort, you can go directly to the eastern plateau occupied by orcs, and you can reach it directly. In the core area, if you go out of the northern dense forest and go east for hundreds of miles, you will be able to reach the capital of the orc king.

When the battle between the two sides was the most intense, the two sides sent elites to infiltrate each other, often fighting in the dense forest, fattening up many wild wolves living in the dense forest.

Dragonscale Fort, as a small military town closest to the northern dense forest, has naturally received a lot of attention, but now Dragonscale Fort has lost its role as a forward base and has long been reduced to a purely defensive castle. It was also basically controlled by the orcs. The orcs set up many camps in the mountains, completely blocking the path for humans to infiltrate through the northern dense forest to the eastern plateau, and they even came out from the northern dense forest to harass them from time to time.

On the other hand, Dragonscale Fort usually has an army of about ten thousand people stationed there, preventing the orcs from coming out of the dense forest to make a surprise attack, and also connects the smaller fortresses around it, which serves as an early warning for the big city behind them.

It's just that recently, Dragonscale Fortress has somewhat restored its former glory. For some unknown reason, four legions of one hundred thousand troops were transferred from the center line to station in Dragonscale Fortress. Fort Jiezhai live.

"Boss, why do you say that the higher-ups gave us such an order to come to Dragonscale Castle to wait for the commander?"

Several regiment commanders of the Northern Route Army were gathering on the wall of Dragonscale Fort at this time, watching the movement of the entire camp from a height. The Northern Route Army had indeed arrived at the predetermined location in advance according to Sol's order, waiting for Richard's call. Arrived.

The four legions are all first-class legions with five flag regiments under their jurisdiction. Although they are not the most elite legions in Longxiguan, they are also regular troops that can be used. They belong to the part of the army that can only fight in the entire kingdom. .

Before Li Cha came, one of the four army chiefs of the Northern Route Army was appointed as a temporary commander to coordinate the actions of the various ministries.

"Just implement the above meaning, there are so many reasons."

"Ham, I'm not afraid that some nobleman from above will give us blind instructions and let the brothers die in vain."

"The commander who asked us to wait is Master Li Cha, the guardian of the Northland. He won the great victory against the orcs last time. How can there be a noble who doesn't understand anything?"

"Boss, do you really believe that the group of people in the Northland can achieve any great victories? Those people don't know the strength of the orcs, don't we know? Who can tell how much they have falsely reported."

"Lord Richard has quite a few giant dragons under his command."

"If the orcs could be defeated by the giant dragon, we wouldn't be unable to get out of Dragonscale Castle now."

After that, he pointed to the dense forest in the distance, and those with better eyes could even vaguely see the outlines of the orc camps on some main paths in the forest.

"When Mr. Li Cha comes, don't have such an attitude."

"I know, and I'm not stupid. He's the Duke of the Kingdom. I've been here for so long, and I don't know if I can be an Earl when I retire."

"Roar!"

"Dragon! It's a dragon! A lot of dragons!"

Several loud dragon roars interrupted the conversation of the two legion commanders, and the surrounding soldiers trembled a little when they saw the excited shouts of more than 20 giant dragons in the air.

Li Cha finally crossed the entire central plain and arrived at the starting point of the Northern Route Army, Dragonscale Fort...
