Lord of War

The military area of ​​the fort is the most well-preserved area of ​​the entire fort.

Although the garrison of the fortress is 50,000 defenders, the general military units in the Miracle Continent are counted as regular soldiers, not including logistics, supplies, reserves, etc. Generally, the garrison guarding a fortress will not have heavy soldiers, but there will definitely be logistics and reserves, so the total number of troops is definitely more than 50,000, at least there should be about 100,000, and it is still an integration of military and agriculture.

Judging from the size of the military region that Xiao En and the others saw, it is more than enough to accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 people. If there are more, the military region may not be able to accommodate it.

In this way, there must be more than one military area in the fortress. But Kojilei only said that only the military region in front of him still had living people, so it is conceivable that the situation in other military regions may have been completely bloodbathed.

At this moment, Xiao En and the others were welcomed into a conference room by the officer.

"To be honest, my military rank is not that high." After entering the meeting room, the officer said with a wry smile, "Allow me to introduce myself first, my name is Pallas, and my official title is only commander, belonging to the Barbarian The captain of the fourth team of the third branch of the Fortress Legion...Before the outbreak of the war, I was performing a patrol mission in the front city, but the rear was raided by the undead army of the death tide..."

Listening to the words of the commander Pallas, Sean finally knew what happened to this wild fortress.

The official garrison of the fortress is only 50,000, and their duty is to guard the fortress, that is to say, the most routine garrison, surveillance and patrol at the top of the city. The front and rear walls each require a team, each team has a task time limit of eight hours, and each team consists of five teams, with a total of 5,000 people. In other words, each patrol of the front and rear walls of the wild fortress required a sub-regiment, three shifts required a total of three sub-regiments, and the remaining two sub-regiments were used as backup troops in case of accidents.

The daily patrols and security maintenance in the city are entrusted to the reserve forces.

When the undead army attacked the city, it happened to attack the wild fortress from the rear. At that time, it happened that the sixth to tenth teams of the third branch were in charge of guarding. When I saw the size of the undead army, I immediately sounded the alarm, and the first and second sub-regiments, acting as reserve forces, rushed to the Houcheng District. At the same time, the fourth and fifth sub-regiments also made corresponding preparations. , for reinforcements.

A total of 45,000 troops have been devoted to the battle in the Houcheng District. This force is already very strong.

But it turned out that under the attack of the sea-like army of undead, the Houcheng District was breached after less than an hour, and then there was an extremely tragic fight in the city. At this time, the people in the whole fortress knew that this time the death tide offensive was unusual, and they all started to counterattack, but it was obviously too late to react at this time, so the whole fortress fell into a deadly battle.

Pylas was relatively lucky. He led the troops and several other commanders to withdraw from the former city immediately, and then under the leadership of a deputy army commander, he gathered the defeated troops all the way and gradually formed a large-scale army. Troops, and the influx into the city to start a deal. But the number of helpless enemies is too large, and the dead can be resurrected for the next offensive, which naturally increases the difficulty of defense.

With the stalemate of the battle, the strength of the fortress naturally began to drop sharply. When they finally retreated to the military area with relatively complete defense measures, only Pellas and another seriously injured were left among the five commanders. The deputy army commander was also injured. After that, there was a four-day long stand. Although the deputy head of the army organized several counterattacks during the period,

But the effect is very little, but it makes the war much more difficult.

Especially in the last counterattack, with the death of the deputy army commander and another commander, Palas became the highest rank commander of the wild fortress. And the order he gave was naturally to stick to this last stronghold and hold on until the arrival of the reinforcements as much as possible. After all, they only had less than 6,000 troops left, and more than 4,000 of them were reserve recruits and logistics. There are only a thousand real soldiers.

And the day before Xiao En and others appeared, they had just resisted the attack of a wave of undead army. I just don't know why, after this wave of invasion returned without success, the undead army suddenly retreated and left completely, so the whole city became a dead city.

After listening to Pallas' description, Sean frowned tightly.

"I don't know whether to say luck or misfortune." Sean let out a heavy breath, and then said, "Do you know where these undead army left?"

Pallas shook his head: "I don't know.... At that time, how could I have the mood to understand the movements of these undead armies."

Sean sighed helplessly: "Those undead have very likely entered the wild land."

Having said that, Sean glanced at Pallas again, and then said: "The reason why those undead armies did not continue to attack you is because they feel that you people are not worth much anymore, and it is not worth them to continue to attack you." Waste of time here. . . . They were evacuated yesterday, and unless they were moving very fast and with a very clear purpose, they should be in the wild by now."

"Those army of undead are collecting materials?" Cecilia exclaimed.

"It's more or less the same." Sean nodded slightly, "It's a pity that we don't have necromancers here, so we don't know the transformation level of the materials, but I think the undead army will storm this city, and it should be to collect materials.  … I also looked at the defense facilities of this military area just now, if the undead army wants to attack by force, it will take at least one to two days to completely take it, but for them, they have no value other than you."

Pallas froze for a moment.

Although Xiao En's words were very ugly, they actually solved the doubts that Pyras had always had.

He had seen with his own eyes that the army of undead collected the corpses of many soldiers and civilians, and the army of undead who had been storming this military area before captured the corpses of the deputy head and another commander. Choose to retreat. Pallas didn't know what was going on at that time, but now he fully understands it, because this military region has no reason for the undead to continue to invest and consume.

"Let's be honest." Sean looked at Pallas, and then said, "I want to take over the rule of this fortress."

"What... this..." Pallas froze for a moment, obviously unable to react, "this..."

"Of course I know that this fortress belongs to the Millennium Covenant Empire, but do you think you can still defend it with your current strength?" Sean said lightly, "You don't have to expect the Millennium Covenant Empire to send reinforcements over. .This time the undead army is not an ordinary wave of death, but an invasion of the bone plane, so the situation is worse than you can imagine."

Sean said this in front of Angel, and his intention was very clear: he did not treat Angel as an outsider, after all, they had just experienced the incident in the Forest of Sighs together, so he simply revealed his thoughts to Angel. However, this does not mean that Angel can influence his thoughts. Sean's subtext means that he hopes that Angel can become a buffer medium between him and the conflict between the Millennium Covenant Empire.

"Speaking of which, I have never introduced myself." Sean said, "I am the Grand Duke of the Void Principality, Sean Connery. I have already contacted my subordinates, and they will come over soon for reinforcements. … ...But my meaning is also very clear, I want to take over all the command of this fortress. Of course, if you are unwilling to cooperate, I will not make things difficult for you, this military area is still under your autonomy."

Pallas looked at Sean, and he could tell from Sean's attitude that the other party's words were not joking. And based on their words alone, it is absolutely impossible to defend such a fortress. Even just defending this military region at the moment seems to be very difficult. However, if the Wild Fortress were to be handed over like this, Pallas would also struggle in his heart. After all, he was a soldier of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

"Then what if the request for help I sent is useful, and the Imperial Army sends reinforcements?" Pallas said, "Will you...will you transfer the command of the fortress?"

"Oh." Sean smiled slightly, and then stood up. This action indicated that the topic between him and Pallas was over. "Then we will see the situation."

Hearing Sean's words, Pallas understood Sean's meaning very well. The Grand Duke of the Void would definitely not give up the fortress he had so easily. After all, as the place closest to the wild land, Pylas still knows a lot of rumors about the Grand Duke.

Soon, Xiao En and others left the military area. They did not stay in the military area, and Pellas naturally did not stay.

But after leaving the military area, Sean said, "Alexis, I need to trouble you."

"I know." Alexis nodded slightly, and then walked towards the wild land. She knew that Xiao En meant to let him go to the wild land to investigate and see if the army of undead really entered To the wild land.

Kozilek, on the other hand, was in charge of staying behind to protect everyone.

As for William, Sean didn't lie either, he had indeed notified Nolo, asking him and William to lead the army over immediately—this was what he did when he entered the fortress.

It can be said that from the moment Sean decided to take this fortress, he had already started to take action. The reason why I said these things frankly is just to avoid some unnecessary confusion and trouble. And these are all for Angel's face, otherwise Sean would not have said these greetings at all, and let William lead the army to rush over.

"Railista, I have a task for you." Sean said.

"What mission?" Rilista asked.

The strength of the few of them is only at the golden level, and they have been a burden since the forest of sighs. When they heard that there was a task at this time, they naturally showed a very positive side.

For whatever reason, they must prove their worth.

"Monitor the movement of those people in Pylas, and ask them to go back if they want to leave the military area." Sean said, "I don't want them to come out to make trouble when I am performing other tasks. .”

Rilista and the others looked at each other, then nodded, accepting the task.

"Miss Angel, next I need you to help me a little." Xiao En said with a smile, "I hope you can let your Frost Legion enter the fortress. Of course, everything about your empire staying in this fortress You can take back military information and intelligence, I will not steal these contents. ... This is the reward."

Angel looked at Sean, nodded after a moment of silence, and said, "Then... what do you want my legion to do?"

"Transfer."

"Moving?" Angel couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Xiao En said with a smile, "The army of the undead wants corpse materials. This fortress has just been ransacked, so it has become a dead city. But before that..." Sean laughed when he said this He smiled, and then continued: "The Pangea Chamber of Commerce has always controlled the economy and trade of this fortress. Because of the sudden attack of the undead army, there are definitely not many people who can escape, and even if they escape, they may not bring much. So now... this fortress is full of countless materials and treasures."

Angel's eyes widened.

"And in this world, I'm afraid no one dares to swallow the goods of the Pangea Chamber of Commerce." (To be continued) , You are welcome to vote for recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
