In the valleys of the Kingdom of West and the Kingdom of Orlut, there stands a mighty and strong fortress—because the upper and lower parts are completely made of red rock, also known as the red fortress. This is one of the most powerful fortresses in the Kingdom of West. As the gateway to the kingdom, the Red Fortress has been guarding the kingdom's borders since the day it was built. Of course, since the signing of the alliance treaty with the Kingdom of Orlut, this tall building has largely lost its original function. In the past few decades, the originally spacious internal site has already become the site of those businesses. Although the function of the red fortress as a border guard has not completely disappeared, if you look at the shops in it, it is easy to mistake it as a commercial city rather than a military fortress.
But right now, those shops have been completely removed, revealing the original face of the fortress. Lots of building materials were transported into the fortress at the fastest speed for reinforcement and additional construction. Above the square in the fortress that had been completely cleaned up, a team of soldiers was shouting horns and practicing hard. Even the storms did not let them stop their movements.
The tense atmosphere of war has spread completely.
In the fortress, in the simple conference room, the leader of the shield of one of the three major legions of the Kingdom, Celtic frowned, staring at the report in front of him. The old man’s serious and solemn expression made the whole The room was filled with depression. Since accepting the order of His Majesty the King and leading the Guardian Shield to the Red Fortress, Celtic has sealed off the border. He knows that with the destruction of the Kingdom of Orlut, there may be many refugees trying to escape to West And he did let a few batches of refugees, but now, with the approaching of the armistice treaty deadline, Celtic has to blockade the entire border area and prohibit the entry and exit of refugees. After all, he knew very well that once Orut was dead, then Sith’s goal was the Kingdom of West. Of course, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to wait until the battlefield to collect intelligence, so it’s important to do the preliminary work well. In fact, the Celtic side also deliberately let a few spies go to take advantage of the refugee wave, trying to touch the other party's bottom. He can be sure that in the previous refugee movement, there must have been spies from the Sith Empire. But it doesn't matter. Celtic had already predicted this, so his idea was that as long as he could control the border area, even if the other party had a certain level of intelligence and could not communicate it, it would have no effect.
Prior to this, Celtic's approach had achieved certain results. He caught a lot of spies sent from Sith and seized their intelligence, but today, Celtic suddenly found that he seemed to Encountered a tricky enemy.
Just now, Celtic received the news that the fifteenth patrol team responsible for patrolling the west side of the valley lost contact. But he hadn't had time to send his staff to check. Another news came that the 24th squad responsible for patrolling the southwestern side of the valley did not respond. This immediately made Celtic nervous.
He knows very well that the 15th and 24th patrols are patrols responsible for patrolling the periphery of the national border, and they are also elite soldiers in the Guardian Shield Corps, but at the moment, they have completely disappeared, and no news has been revealed. This is really unbelievable. However, it did happen now.
What is the situation?
The head of the old army who fought all his life was somewhat stunned in the face of this strange scene. His first reaction was that the Sith Empire came over. But judging from experience, this seems to be a bit wrong. At present, the Sith Empire should focus on conquering and suppressing the rebellion and riots that may occur on the land of Orlut. For the movement of the Sith Empire, Kyle It is very clear. The purpose of this country is very clear, which is to expand outward. In this way, they naturally need a stable territory and territory. And in the past few days, a series of policies exercised by the Sith Empire on the land of Orlut did indeed play a role in appeasing the hearts of the people-the most remarkable feature is that there are significantly fewer refugees going to the Red Fort. After all, although their own country is destroyed, for most people, as long as their own land and their lives are not threatened, then they are still willing to stay in their hometown to continue their lives.
It was precisely because of the attitude of the Sith Empire that Celtic felt anxious. If the other party is just to plunder resources and expand the land, then maybe he is still confident that the Sith empire will be defeated one day, after all, many acts of unrighteousness will be blamed, if the Sith empire shows a cruel, cold side, Then even if the kingdom of West was defeated in the end, they still have confidence to make a comeback.
But now, the Sith Empire clearly intends to slowly digest these lands and peoples, and the information Celtic has obtained from Orutet has deepened this worry. Although there are still some rebellions and riots in Orutt. However, according to intelligence, most of these riots were initiated by the people who lost their land and loved ones in the war with the Sith Empire, as well as some former Orut generals, but in other occupied areas, they were almost invisible. The people spontaneously resisted. It is this report that makes Celt feel very heavy. You must know that if Sith has completely occupied this land, then the people may be unable to resist because of their high-pressure policy. But now, after all, the war is not over, and why did the people give up resistance? Isn't it because the Sith Empire has not harmed their interests?
It is absolutely impossible if it is placed in a general country. After all, things like war are getting harder and harder. As a small country, Sith invades other countries and occupies land, which means that its borders will expand, which means more consumption and military input. Where do these supplies and personnel come from? Isn't it necessary to squeeze from the occupied area? Otherwise, based on the land of the Sith alone, if the expeditionary army is supplied blindly, then the rebellion in the occupied area will not be waited for, and the country may first be rioted.
but! but! Just by all means! The Sith Empire has four talented knights!
For talented knights, victory is never based on the strength of troops! Among the four talented knights of the Sith Empire, the guardian knight Nasias has the most troops, with 150,000. The remaining three talented knights are surprisingly few. The captain of the Windbringer Karan has been hovering around 20,000. The troops controlled by the puppet division Sidwig are only up to 50,000. The female king of silver Tilott is even more exaggerated. Since her expedition, the "Silver Sword" of only 30,000 men has never changed. In other words, the three main forces responsible for the outward expansion of the Sith Empire did not even have more than one guardian knight, Nasias. Of course, they also have sub-armies, but in fact, in many cases, these sub-armies are responsible for reconnaissance in the early war and occupation and defense in the late war. As for the confrontation in the middle of the war, they have no part in them.
In other words, most of the time, Orut's hundreds of thousands of troops have to face only tens of thousands! But even so, they were still beaten and thrown away. Even the capital of the night was completely defeated by Sidwig with weak forces. You must know that there were as many as 100,000 troops at the time, plus the effect of the source, it was still defeated by the talented knights, which is enough to explain everything. Problem.
The army of hundreds of thousands of people was able to capture the entire Orlut, and the final consumption actually did not exceed 20,000. This terrible ratio has completely exceeded the range imaginable by all military generals. And because of this, the Sith empire also virtually avoided the biggest weakness in the conquest war-logistics supply. Until the beginning of the war with Orlut, the number of logistical supplies in the Sith Empire has been very stable, without a substantial increase, and because of the new territory, they have more extra income-after all, the war is To die, and the dead do not need to consume supplies. Under the intention of the Sith Empire, the power of Orut's military was almost wiped out. Because of this, it is no longer necessary to spend extra resources to maintain various military territories, but instead has surplus funds. Although the war is just over, this surplus fund is only a shortfall, but as long as the Sith Empire can continue, it can develop into a virtuous circle, and their national strength will be more powerful.
This is a good thing for the Sith Empire, but it is a nightmare for other countries.
Because of this, Celtic is not too careful that the Sith Empire will take action at this moment, and if the other party really intends to fight, there is no need to adopt such a means. What's the use of eliminating those patrol teams? The war pays special attention to surprise. If you take the initiative to eliminate these patrols, don't you mean telling the opponent your own direction? Who is it, and why?
spy? Does a spy want to leave West?
Celtic shook his head and did not believe this conclusion. If the opponent has the ability to wipe out these patrol squads, then they can quietly leave their line of defense directly. Moreover, if it is possible that the fifteenth patrol squad may have encountered a surprise encounter with the other party, then the disappearance of the twenty-fourth squad would make no sense. Celtic's own custom patrol route, he is very clear that if the other party is really a spy, then they can't attack the twenty-fourth squadron in a big circle after killing the fifteenth squadron. This is undoubtedly walking. A period of injustice. And after all, spies are intelligence workers. Time is their life. After tearing the protective net, they should choose to retreat directly instead of going deep.
Then there is only one possibility.
The Sith Empire apparently did not intend to allow itself to build defenses so leisurely, so it was planned to send some people to hinder and delay their actions, while creating some confusion. The reason why they will attack the 15th and 24th teams is for this purpose. purpose.
Thinking of this, Celtic frowned and sneered. He was confident that the Fourth Squad would not appear, so that is to say, it was certainly the elite troops in the Sith Empire who eliminated his patrol team. If they could catch them, it would be a good start.
"Come here!"
The old army commander shouted, and soon, a pale and anxious young general pushed open the door and entered the room, paying a solemn salute to the old army commander.
"Immediately dispatch the Fourth Division to the west side of the valley to conduct a thorough carpet search by means of cross patrols! Remember, report any anomalies immediately to me!"
"Yes! Master!"
The young general immediately
cracked
his position and then paid a military salute to the head of the old army. But he did not leave immediately. On the contrary, he showed a confused and embarrassed look.
"In fact, Lord Legion, I have one more thing to report to you."
"what's up?"
"This.........just two minutes ago, we got the news that the sixth squad responsible for guarding the east side of the valley lost news...it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out."
"East side? Team Six?"
Celtic frowned and his face became dignified again.
".........Are you sure the other teams are not abnormal?"
"No, sir, I have followed your request and contacted all the teams that have contacted abroad. Only the sixth team has not responded, so I think it is likely that..."
"It was west just now, is it east now?"
Celtic gritted his teeth, and he already felt a little angry.
Is the Sith Empire really a bully?
The rain is still falling.
The heavy rain washed the trees in the valley, making a rustling noise, and gathered into a stream on the ground. The blood was dimmed under the heavy rain.
Yulian shook off the blood on his long sword, and then turned his head to look at the dozen or so bodies lying not far behind him. The corpses wore the armor of the West Kingdom, and their faces were terrified and confused. Their weapons have not even been unsheathed, and their owners have become victims in the shadow of death.
all the best.
"Brother, is it over?"
Following this query, Messiah walked out of the woods on a unicorn. She scanned the corpse in front of her indifferently, and then turned her attention to Yulian.
"It's over, three times. I think if the chief of the garrison here is not stupid, he should be able to see the problem. Next, it depends on whether the character of the regimental leader is explosive or calm."
Yulian answered Messiah's inquiry casually, then took the long sword and waved it casually. With a low murmur, the dark breath began to gather, and soon, the black master-not right, the figure of Estie appeared beside Youlian.
Now it has changed a lot from before. After absorbing the power of the soul and curing his own injury, this eccentric spirit creature has also shown its true face. It must be said that its true face is really a little weird. On the surface, it is no different from a horse, but on both sides of its body, it has a pair of light, wing-like wings. You originally thought that this one The monster can still fly, but he didn't expect Estie to fly at all, he didn't even know why he had these wings. Of course, this is actually not a complete wing. Like the owner, they seem to be a faint shadow. Only when it is unfolded, it can barely observe a silhouette. If it is stuck on the body, it will not be noticed at all.
At the moment, Estie also has a set of horse harnesses, which is made by Yulian using his soul ability. After all, he wants a mount. If there is no harness to control, then in the future battle, it will always return. Not a convenient thing. At this moment, the Black Lord also swept away the turbulent attitude before, but stood quietly and docilely in front of Youlian, waiting for his master.
Just as Yulian turned his horse, suddenly a crisp bird chirp appeared, and then Yulian frowned slightly. He made a wink at Messiah, and then the two quickly turned their heads and disappeared into the woods.
In fact, after taming the Black Lord, with the strength of Youlian and others, it is really no easy matter to want to cross the border without being discovered. But for Yulian, he obviously didn't plan to leave without saying hello. That's why I turned around purposely, leaving such a small meeting.
So, when the commander of the Celtic Corps ordered a strict seal and investigation, Yulian and Messiah had already easily crossed the border and came to the other side of the valley. On the territory of the Slovak Empire.
"father!"
Seeing the appearance of Yulian and Messiah, Semia showed a hint of innocent smile. She waved gently and then made a gesture, pointing to the right. There, a group of soldiers in the Sith Empire armor were marching seriously on the avenue, armed with weapons, watching the surroundings cautiously, and slowly walking forward.
"It seems that neither side really stops."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yulian raised his eyebrows.
"It was originally thought that under such heavy rain conditions, they would only stay in the house to fight soy sauce or something. Unexpectedly, the two parties did not mean to relax their vigilance. It seems that this war will make us very happy, two. "
"What? Brother?"
"Are you going to kill? Dad?"
Hearing this, there was excitement on the faces of the two sisters, as if the child had a fun toy-like expression. They all raised the umbrella in their hands and asked.
"of course."
Facing the two's inquiries, Yulian thought a little, then nodded quickly.
"The so-called come-and-go is also rude. Since the West Kingdom has lost three teams of patrols, for the sake of fairness... the soldiers of the Sith Empire cannot be let go."
With that in mind, Yulian reached out and held the sword handle around her waist, and with his movements, Estie also slowly lowered her body, making a charge.
"Start action." (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
