Chapter 4: Frontier Blood Lion

Now the area where Su Xiao is located is the front line of the war, while Boubo Wang is in the Holy Dragon City, which is the capital of the Dragon Empire.

After contacting, Su Xiao learned that there were fifty people in the team looking for the core of the world, all of whom were agile contractors and belonged to waiters.

The task of the agile team is to find the core of the world and bring that thing to the designated location. As for the follow-up guard work, it is up to Su Xiao or various adventure groups.

But before that, we must first ensure the stability of the front line of the war between the empire and the tribe. Once the front line is broken, there is no need to look for the core of the world. Most contractors will die under the tribal army. Mission failure was forcibly executed.

Su Xiao marched with the imperial army, and the soldiers near him were silent. The cruelty of the cold weapon war can be imagined, but these soldiers had no fear, only numbness on their faces, which was a kind of numbness that looked down on life and death.

To become an imperial soldier, there is a folk saying that a soldier is a nobleman, a tiger beast, and a dog.

The nobleman was after the soldiers received military pay, drinking and whoring prostitutes. Live very casually, just like a nobleman,

The tiger beast is the name given to the tiger by the civilians. The civilians are afraid of the soldier, just as they are afraid of the tiger, so they describe the soldier as the tiger beast.

As for dog, when the war broke out, the lives of soldiers were not worth a single dog. Live today and no tomorrow.

Because it was marching in the plain, more than 100,000 people marched into several square formations, mighty, wild beasts fled wherever they passed, and the ground trembled lightly.

Half an hour after the army marched, Su Xiao vaguely saw a black 'mountain' appearing ahead. The mountain range cut across the plain and separated the empire from the tribe, which was extremely spectacular.

After getting closer, Su Xiao found out what kind of mountain this is. This is a line of defense, similar to the Great Wall in the real world.

Seeing this war line of defense, Su Xiao cursed inwardly, and the war channel of Reincarnation Paradise was also frying.

Su Xiao is very puzzled. The empire has such a favorable location. How did the tribe break through this line of defense? and occupy here.

Ahead is the Black Earth Fortress. The entire fortress divides the black soil plain into two sections. If viewed from a high altitude, the black soil fortress is like a meandering black river dividing the black soil plain.

The black earth fortress is 176 kilometers long, and the whole body is made of obsidian. The entire fortress is blessed with 6782 magic marks, which are stronger than metal. Even the dwarves's "Storm Knight" siege hammer cannot breakthrough the black earth fortress, which separated the empire from the tribe's territory. The empire is separated from the tribal territory, the fortress is the empire territory, and the fortress is the tribal territory.

The highest position of the black earth fortress is 60 meters high, and the average height is about 40 meters. Standing below the fortress, this is a sky wall. It has been standing here for 3,600 years and has been renovated no less than 30 times, on average once every 100 years.

"This thing... can it really be attacked?"

A contractor who was closer to Su Xiao looked up at the black soil fortress, and there were thousands of grass and mud horses jumping past in his heart.

Not to mention the reaction of the contractors, Marquis Mark at the rear of the army is also looking up at the black soil fortress. He has not been here for almost 20 years.

"Lord Marquis, this is the statistics of the number of soldiers and the storage of rations and weapons. The weapons promised by the moon elves have not been delivered. Now many soldiers have serious broken blades, and there is not much food and water sources. …"

The deputy commander of the Iron Blood Legion knelt in front of Marquis Mark, who was riding on his horse.

"understood."

Marquis Mark was a little impatient. This is a middle-aged and elderly man with curly white hair and a mustache on his chin. He is wearing a black coat with gold threads woven at the collar and cuffs.

"But..."

The deputy commander, Carlos, looked at Marquis Mark in surprise. Carlos was a burly middle-aged man. He wore blood-colored armor, and the bloody aura on his body was not even weaker than that of Su Xiao.

"Carlos, you just need to tell me if you can retake the Black Earth Fortress before sunset."

Marquis Mark rode on the horse and looked at the deputy commander Carlos with a complicated look. He didn't like this person. Generally, he would leave the errands with less oil and water to the other party, such as guarding the frontier. Although he didn't like the other party very much, he This person is needed now.

"Wha... whaat!"

Carlos was stunned. He suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"The Marquis asked you if you can retake the Black Earth Fortress before dark,"

The imperial official next to Marquis Mark spoke up. Although his official position was lower than that of Carlos, he looked at Carlos with contempt because Carlos was the son of a nobleman and a prostitute.

"Lord Marquis, this seems... unlikely."

Carlos lowered his head. Now he really wanted to drag the dead fat man who was riding on a horse three meters away. He stomped on the face of this waste who relied on hereditary system to inherit the position of marquis, and let the other party take a closer look at the level of the black soil fortress. war fortifications.

Don't talk about a day, even if Carlos is given a week, he will not dare to say that he can retake the Black Earth Fortress. The Horde captured this place, and nearly 120,000 orcs + dwarves + goblins + trolls died, fighting without sleep for half a month. In the end, the corpses were piled flush with the black soil fortress, and the tribe stepped on the corpses to attack.

"If the battle goes well, the Black Earth Fortress can be recaptured in about ten days."

Carlos is actually a bit exaggerated. Even if it goes well, it would be good to be able to retake the fortress in half a month. This is based on the fact that the empire will continue to send more troops to the black soil plains, and use the same method of stacking corpses to retake the fortress.

"Ten days is too long."

Marquis Mark was very dissatisfied.

"I'll give you a week, Duo will not come to see you here. Now I have become the laughing stock of Holy Dragon City City. If you can't do it, I will find someone who can do it instead of you."

"As ordered."

Carlos's head was full of steel teeth, and he knew in his heart that no matter what, he could not be replaced, absolutely not, this has nothing to do with status or selfish desires, once he loses the position of the deputy commander of the Iron Blood Legion, the black soil fortress It's over. He has been guarding here for 20 years. At that time, he was just a team captain. He dedicated everything in his life to this place. No one knows the black soil fortress better than him. lion.

"Lord Marquis, I have a request."

After Carlos said this, he took a deep breath. The deputy commander, who didn't know how many enemies he had killed, was a little hesitant.

"Say."

Marquis Mark had already guessed what Carlos was going to say, and it was nothing more than asking for an appointment.

"The battle on the Black Plains requires more troops."

"Oh?" Marquis Mark was a little surprised. This was different from what he imagined. He touched the beard on his chin and said, "How much is needed."

"At least two hundred thousand."

Carlos' fists were clenched, and he was ready to take back the fortress with his life.

"Impossible. The other defense lines of the empire also need troops, up to 50,000."

Hearing Marquis Mark's words, Carlos raised his head with a shout, and the armor on his body collided. Marquis Mark was shocked by his momentum.

"Carlos, what do you want to do!"

Marquis Mark let out an angry roar, and the hundreds of personal soldiers beside him drew their long swords around their waists and surrounded Carlos.
