Chapter 150 (1/2)

Sean's troops did not stay in tonis fortress for a long time. After Sean officially became ”Sir Connery”, he left tonis fortress with his troops that day.

When passing through the outer city, Sean saw not a strict royal guard, but a group of old soldiers.

Under the same scorching sun, as the thunder front of yasna Pro guard, they are still responsible for the defense, patrol and daily maintenance of the whole inner city. They look no different from ordinary soldiers. If they are not dressed in bright red robes and thunder sword shield badges on their backs, No one would think that this garrison was the famous thunder front under the Marquis of tonis.

The royal guard not only did not stand guard in the outer city, but also did not even guard and monitor the city wall. In order to avoid the summer, almost all of them hid in the fortification building. There was not even a training person in such a large square in the outer city. If there were not all kinds of talk and laughter from all places, people passing through here would even think that the outer city is a desolate place.

The team went out of the gate of the inner city and slowly passed the square of the outer city.

The northern barbarians were not good at riding, and Sean didn't mean to cultivate them into cavalry, so he didn't buy horses for them. However, for the sake of Cecilia and William, Sean prepared two carriages, while he rode a war horse bought from Athena. It seemed that William and Cecilia were more like aristocrats, while Sean was just a knight.

The leader ahead is big Arnold.

Dozens of northern barbarians followed him and protected the two carriages, while about 60 or 70 archers followed behind the vehicles. As soldiers, their treatment has been good, and Sean has promised them that as long as they have made war achievements, everyone can regain their freedom, and even be treated by the regular army like the northern barbarians - they don't believe these words. The end of the troops is nothing more than cannon fodder, otherwise in the conflict led by danawi, Their companions won't run away.

But after the performance, Sean actually conquered them. Even though they know that this is a way to buy people's hearts, they are still willing to stay and try to kill the enemy in order to get freedom and better treatment. People born in the capital of trade, unless they live there for a long time, who will marry and have children? In such a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, for those who can live day by day, if they die after marriage, their wives and children will not become other people's playthings?

Sean's promise to the veterans and the northern barbarians, who have already known it.

Even if they are afraid of death, future generations can be safe, so their efforts and struggles will naturally have value.

Some royal guards were finally willing to look up at the army that suddenly appeared in the outer city and was obviously going out of the fortress. However, most of them showed disapproval, and only a few officers at the general level showed thoughtful appearance. Because they have never seen any mercenary regiment show such a strict law of killing. Shouldn't it be casual for these bandits who lick their blood?

Sean's team didn't fly any flags. It's normal for outsiders to regard it as a mercenary regiment.

As the first line of defense of tonis fortress and the buffer zone for turning into street fighting, the scale of the outer city area is huge. Otherwise, it is impossible for 70000 troops from the royal family to be stationed here. However, in this area, the defense focus of yasna is not to block the enemy's attack, but to consume the effective strength of the siege party as much as possible. Therefore, there are more fortifications, which makes 70000 royal guards stationed here seem a little crowded.

However, this is also because these royal guards are old soldiers, and there are even many noble disciples who come to gild, so it seems a little crowded - they are drivers who want to move the whole house, which is really unbearable. Perhaps, because of this, yasina didn't bother to pay attention to them and directly threw them here in the outer city, out of sight.

However, this also shows the vastness of the outer urban area from one aspect.

From the gate of the inner city to the gate of the outer city, Sean and others walked for three hours before they finally saw the dark black gate 20 meters high built against the mountain wall. This gate is called ”the iron wall of tonis”. Although its height is the same as that of several other gates in the fortress, its thickness is different. Sean's visual observation shows that it is at least more than three meters thick.

The opening and closing of the city gate need to rely on the power provided by six steam power machines to make the rotating gear rotate, and even need the human assistance of hundreds of people. Each time, it takes more than half an hour to completely open and close the city gate. So when the royal guard came here, they made a request to yasna to keep the city gate never closed in non war. Therefore, they were willing to increase the defense and patrol strength of the city gate.

Athena did not object to this.

So when Sean came here, he saw two huge black gates that were completely open. There is no ferocious portrait or anything else carved on it. The whole gate looks very smooth. Of course, this is also because the fortress has not experienced any war since its completion. Although it has been a year, in fact, the maintenance of the gate is excellent and still brand-new.

Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why yasina doesn't go too hard on the Royal Guard.

There are a lot of troops stationed at the city gate, there are dozens of people, but these people are not wearing any armor. Instead, they are wearing a thin short sleeved coat, and they have a variety of weapons. If Sean hadn't heard about the outer city from Athena, he would think these people were just some mercenary ruffians, Not from the Royal Corps.
