Lord of War

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

  Although the garrison of the fortress is fifty thousand defenders, the general military units in the Marvel Continent count regular troops, and do not include logistics, weight, and reserve services. Generally speaking, the garrison guards responsible for a fortress will not have heavy troops, but there will definitely be logistics and reserve services. Therefore, the total number of troops is definitely more than 50,000, at least about 100,000, and it is still a military-agricultural integration.

   Judging from the size of the military area as seen by Xiao En and others, it is more than enough to accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people. If there are more, this military area may not be able to accommodate it.

  In this case, there must be more than one military district in the fortress. But Kozilek only said that only the military district in front of him still had alive people, so it is conceivable that the situation in other military districts might have been completely bloodbathed.

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

“To be honest, my military rank is not high.” After entering the conference room, the officer said with a wry smile, “Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Pallas. The official rank is only a thousand chief and belongs to the wild. The captain of the fourth team of the third branch of the fortress legion….Before the outbreak of the war, I was on a patrol mission in the front city, but the rear was raided by the dead tide army of undead…”

   Listening to the words of the commander of the commander, Pylas, Sean finally knew what was going on in this wild fortress.

The official garrison of the   fortress is only 50,000, and their responsibility is to guard the fortress, which means that the most conventional fortress garrison, surveillance and patrol. A shift is required for each of the front and rear walls. The task time limit for each shift is eight hours. Each shift 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 requires one sub-group of troops. The three-shift rotation requires a total of three sub-groups, and the remaining two sub-groups are used as reserve forces. In case of accidents.

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

  When the undead army attacked the city, it happened to be attacking the wild fortress from behind. At that time, it happened to be the sixth to tenth team of the third division in charge of guarding. As soon as I saw the size of the undead army, the alarm bell sounded immediately. The first and second sub-groups, which served as reserve forces, rushed to the rear city immediately. At the same time, the fourth and fifth sub-groups also made corresponding preparations and carried out reinforcements.

  A full 45,000 troops have been invested in the war in the rear city, and this force is already very powerful.

   However, the result did not expect that under the offensive of the undead army like a sea, the Houcheng District was breached for less than an hour, and then it was extremely tragic to enter the city to kill. By this time, the entire fortress knew that the death wave offensive this time was absolutely unusual. One after another began to fight back. But at this time, it was obviously too late to react, and the entire fortress fell into a deadly battle.

Pallas was relatively lucky. He led the troops and several other commanders to withdraw from the front city immediately, and then under the leadership of a deputy army commander, he gathered the routs all the way, and gradually formed a large-scale force. And the influx into the city began to deal with. 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.

  Stalemate with the war. The forces in the fortress naturally began to decline sharply, and eventually retreated to this military area with relatively complete defense measures. The five commanders died, leaving Pallas and another more seriously injured, and even the deputy commander was also injured. After that was a four-day persistence. During this period, although the deputy commander organized several counterattacks, the results were very few, but it made the war much more difficult.

  Especially in the last counterattack, with the death of the deputy legion commander and another commander, Pallas became the highest-ranking commander of the wild fortress. Naturally, the order he gave was to defend the last stronghold as hard as possible until the arrival of reinforcements. After all, they only had less than 6,000 troops left, and more than 4,000 of them were reserve recruits and logistics personnel. There are only a thousand real soldiers.

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

  After listening to Pallas’s description, Sean’s brows wrinkled.

   “I don’t know whether to say luck or misfortune.” Xiao En 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, I was not in the mood to understand the movements of the undead army.”

  Sean sighed helplessly: “It is very possible that the undead have entered the wild land.”

Having said this, Sean glanced at Pallas again, and then said: “The reason why the undead army did not continue to attack you is because you don’t think you are of much value anymore, and it’s not worth it for them to continue. Wasting time here… They were evacuated yesterday. Unless they are moving very fast and their purpose is very clear, they should have entered the wild land now.”

  ”Those undead army is collecting materials?” Cecilia exclaimed.

“Eight or nine are not far from ten.” Xiao En nodded slightly, “Unfortunately, we don’t have a necromancer on our side, so we don’t know the transformation level of materials, but the undead army will forcefully attack this city, 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, at least it will take one to two days to completely win, but to them, there is no value except you.”

  Pallas was taken aback.

  Even though Sean’s words were very awkward, they actually solved Pallas’s long-held doubts.

He had seen the undead army gather the corpses of many soldiers and civilians away, and the undead army that had been attacking this military area beforehand, after capturing the bodies of the deputy commander and another commander, he was decisive. Choose to retreat. That would be Pallas didn’t know what was going on, but now he fully understands it, because this military district has no reason for the undead to continue to invest and consume.

   “Just tell the truth.” Sean looked at Pylas, and then said, “I want to take over the rule of this fortress.”

   “What…this…” Pallas was taken aback. Obviously some reaction can’t come, “this…”

“Of course I know that this fortress belongs to the Millennium Covenant Empire, but do you think you can still hold it here with your current strength?” Shaun said lightly, “You don’t have to expect the Millennium Covenant Empire to be able to send reinforcements. This time the army of the undead is not an ordinary death wave, but an invasion of the plane of bones. So the situation is worse than you can imagine.”

  Sean said this in front of Angel. The intention is also very clear: he did not regard Angel as an outsider, after all, he had just experienced the Sigh Forest incident together, so he simply revealed his thoughts to Angel. However, this does not mean that Angel can control his thoughts. The subtext of Sean means that he hopes Angel can become a buffer between him and the conflict between the Millennium Covenant Empire.

“Speaking of it, I haven’t introduced myself.” Sean said, “I am the Grand Duke of the Void Duchy. Sean Connery. I have already contacted my subordinates. They quickly rushed over for reinforcements…. …But my meaning is also very clear, I want to take over all command of this fortress. Of course, if you are not willing to cooperate, I will not embarrass you, this military area is still under your autonomy.”

  Pallas looked at Sean. He had already seen from Sean’s attitude that the other party was not joking. And just by their words, it would never be possible to defend such a fortress. Even now it is difficult to defend this military area alone. But if he just surrendered the wild fortress, Pallas was also struggling very much inside. After all, he is a soldier of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

  ”Then if my request for help is useful, what if the Imperial Army has sent reinforcements?” Pallas said, “Will you… transfer the command of the fortress?”

   “Heh.” Sean smiled slightly, then stood up. This action indicated that the topic between him and Pallas had ended, “It depends on the situation.”

   Hearing what Shaun said, Pallas knew what Shaun meant. The Void Lord would definitely not let out the fortress that he could easily get. After all, as the closest place to the Wildlands, Pallas still knew 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 Paras naturally did not stay.

  But after leaving the military area, Sean said, “Alexis, I’m going to trouble you.”

“I know.” Alexis nodded slightly, and then walked towards the Wildlands. She knew that Sean meant to let him go to the Wildlands to investigate and see if the undead army actually entered. Arrived in the wilderness.

   And Kozilek is responsible for staying to protect everyone.

  As for William, Sean did not lie either. He had indeed notified Noro and asked him and William to immediately lead the army over—this was done when he entered the fortress.

  It can be said that from the moment Sean decided to take down this fortress, he had already begun to take action. The reason why these things are said frankly, but only to avoid some unnecessary confusion and trouble. And these are all based on Angel’s face, otherwise Sean would not say hello at all, and would directly let William lead the army to rush over.

   “Relitha, I have a task for you.” Sean said.

   “What mission?” Rilitha asked.

  The strength of a few of them is only in the golden realm. They have been a burden since sighing the forest. At this time, they heard that there was a task, and naturally they showed a very positive side.

  There is no other reason, they must prove their value.

“Monitor the movement of the people in Pallas, and once they want to leave the military area, ask them to go back.” Sean said, “I don’t want them to come out and make trouble when I perform other tasks. .”

  Rilista and others looked at each other, then nodded, indicating that they accepted the task.

“Miss Angel, next I need you to help me a little bit.” Sean smiled and said, “I hope you can let your Frost Legion enter the fortress. Of course, all the military information about your empire left in this fortress. Information, you can all get it back, and I will not steal this content…. This is reward.”

  Angel looked at Xiao En, and nodded after a moment of silence, and said: “So…what do you want my legion to do?”

   “Transportation.”

   “Transport?” Angel was a little unbelievable.

“Yes.” Xiao En laughed, “The undead army wants corpse materials. This fortress has just been ransacked, so it has become a dead city. But before that…” At this point, Xiao En laughed. He smiled, and then continued: “The Pan-Continent 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. So now… this fortress is full of countless materials and treasures.”

  Angel’s eyes opened wide.

  ”And in this world, no one except me would dare to swallow the goods of the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce.” (To be continued~^~)
