Chapter 399: Temporary Peace (2/2)

Inside the massive watchtower on the west gate, Fei hosted his first military meeting as the No.1 Commander of the Battle Zone.

Frank Ribry who was the head commander of the native soldiers of Dual-Flags City participated in the meeting alongside the commanders in the herald brigade of [Wolf Teeth Legion]. In this meeting, the powers and rights of each level of the commanders were clearly drawn out, and the channels of communication were set up. As the head commander of the 30,000 native soldiers, Ribry earned a lot of respect and was liked by Fei; he was given a lot of power.

Shevchenko, Cech, and Ribry were the three direct reports of Fei

“Ribry, I will put you in charge of building the militia. You are much familiar with the city compared with the others,” Fei laughed and said, “You will be doing a lot of work in the next few days.”

“It is an honor to serve you. I don’t mind the hard work,” Ribry replied. He was a straightforward person, and he was quite manly. Since he already admired Fei a lot, he followed all of Fei’s orders without hesitation.

“Great. Out of the 36,000 soldiers we have, they shall be divided into three groups, and you three will each lead one. Each group will be responsible for patrolling and guarding the defense wall at a given time, and you guys shall rotate the responsibilities; the number of soldiers patrolling the area can be reduced by half in the night. All resources will be provided by the logistics department in [Wolf Teeth Legion], and that is all for now. The rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] will be here in two days, and we shall discuss more issues then!”

Fei wrapped up the meeting.

This meeting wasn’t that long, and the commanders all left and went back to their defense locations.

Ribry who was recognized and valued by Fei was very excited. Without worrying about the injuries that still hadn’t fully recovered yet, he started to prepare for the construction of the militia. Since the appearance of the invaders, there was a curfew at night in Dual-Flags City. However, it didn’t feel less intense and less busy at all when it was dark outside.

Fei kept Pierce, Drogba, Huerk, and Kanort as his temporary guards.

Although soldiers were patrolling in front of the watchtower, it was quite empty inside the watchtower.

Fei was sitting on a stone chair that had a layer of leather on it, and he was thinking about how the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] could get through the enemies of Jax who had surrounded the city; the number of enemies was increasing by the day since there were a lot of reinforcements coming.

This was a big issue! Except for the soldiers, there was also the central logistic department who held a lot of resources including food and supplies; their movement speed was quite slow. Unlike the cavaliers in the herald brigade who were able to get through the enemies’ defense lines in one charge, the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] that had 30,000 soldiers in it would suffer around 7,000 casualties if they wanted to get through the enemies by force, and the loss of food and supplies couldn’t even be counted.

On top of that, it was a headache just thinking about how these soldiers could enter the city. It would take a while for 30,000 soldiers to enter the city, and the enemies might use this opportunity when the gate was open and charge in; that would be catastrophic.

Fei felt exhausted just thinking about it.

If it wasn’t for Krasic’s death and if Chambord wasn’t only 400 kilometers away from Dual-Flags City and might be in danger after Dual-Flags City gets conquered, Fei would want to dust himself off and leave this place.

Since he had Diablo World, he could stay in Chambord and only show-off his strength after he becomes invincible; that was a more thrilling life.

Fei looked through the door and looked at the campsite of Jax that was quite bright in the dark, and a lightbulb appeared in his head.

He remembered that both Tanasha and Paris gave him a few magic boxes.

“Open up the boxes in order once you encounter difficulties,” that was what these two intelligent and famous women told him when they gifted him the boxes.

……

3,000 meters away from Dual-Flags City.

Inside the campsite of Jax.

The long and cold night arrived, and even the soldiers of Jax who already got used to this weather had to go back to the tents with campfires inside of them. Only by getting warmed up by the heat from the fire could they survive the coldness.

Since they had the advantage in the war and it was freezing in the night, the defense and the patrol of the campsite wasn’t too tight.

There were blockages set up 300 meters away from the campsite, and they were there to stop the cavaliers of Zenit charging directly into their campsite. Of course, the chances of that happening was really low in this weather.

There were wooden watchtowers all around the campsite, and the soldiers would be changed every 30 minutes to reduce the harm the cold weather would do to them.

The moon was shining beautifully in the sky, and the silver moonlight shined on the ground, making everything seem more beautiful and more poetic.

At this moment, a dash of shadow suddenly charged at the direction of this campsite from the west gate of Dual-Flags City.
