Chapter 1033 (1/2)
Duanjieshan fortress.
Although the garrison in the fortress has been preparing for war since leaving the floating city of ”horn Castle”, in fact, since the ”war”, there is no tension in the whole fortress, as if everything is the same as in the past.
Of course, this is not without reason - after all, although the Azores have declared war on the Empire, there is still no army under the control of the fortress, let alone an encounter or siege.
If it had not been for the total annihilation of the church Knight Commander Naze and his 1000 cavalry, the defenders of duanjieshan fortress might have no idea that the Azores were the strong enemy of the Empire.
In addition, it is the ”blessing” of Boyi Hussars.
What is ”slightly different” from the imperial principalities is that Boyi's army is mainly nomadic instead of recruiting agricultural soldiers. The valiant Hussars are also good at herding and running businesses; When he answered the Duke's call, he was also a whole nomadic group. Naturally, it was impossible to completely ignore his family when he set out.
Naturally, the machete Archduke, who was originally born in daboyling grassland, has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and she is even less likely to intervene - even she is doing it herself, so that Jonah's tribe can earn the biggest sum.
So this brave but lax Hussars regiment, in addition to their luggage, also brought a large number of ”leather goods” and ”self brewing” from Boyi, and set up a market in the camp outside the great wall of duanjie mountain.
Relying on self brewed milk wine and a small amount of Byrne's wine, these fierce ”machete warriors” quickly opened a market in the garrison of duanjieshan fortress; For a time, the ”night patrol” task became a beautiful job in duanjieshan fortress, and these big soldiers who stayed in the barracks fortress all year round and had nothing to ”entertain” at all, ”spending power” amazed Boyi's horseback people.
With the help of alcohol, a good thing loved by everyone, the two sides who had not had a good relationship quickly established a friendship - a considerable part of the Legion stationed in duanjie mountain fortress traveled to Boyi with Brandon, and naturally became the ”middleman” of both sides.
Three days later, the deputy commander of the fortress accidentally caught a legion soldier who went to the boy camp to ”patrol”. After finding out what happened, he immediately removed him from his post and sent him to prison. Then, with a black face, he ordered all soldiers going out not to carry property.
It's hard to tell how effective such severe punishment is, because the soldier also found a lot of white notes - these people's business is big enough to keep accounts!
As the deputy commander of duanjieshan fortress, of course, he can't give orders to the Boyi people. He can only ”suggest” Archduke salina Jonah to control her army and don't ”go too far”.
Naturally, the result cannot be too good; Machete Archduke, who is used to such things, certainly can't restrain herself on such small things; The Legion soldiers who got Boyi leather goods were also unwilling to hand over their warm and comfortable fur coats.
One can imagine how angry dreisis was when the military's mind was so slack; But in addition to these ”unimportant” small things, he really couldn't find anything to blame for his regiment.
After all, the legions that can be sent to garrison duanjieshan fortress are absolutely elite. No army in the whole empire can do better than the ”black wall” before the war.
The trenches and traps outside the Great Wall should be ”maintained” once a day. The projection weapons and temporary small defense facilities in the city wall have long been properly built. The amount of ”Alchemical weapons” such as igniters and alchemical bombs in the fortress is enough to support ten battles.
Armor, weapons, food, medicine... The supplies that can be prepared have been prepared enough to last for a year; The soldiers' daily training is always at their best, and the patrol work is not stopped all day. No enemy close to the fortress can escape the investigation of the Rangers.
The empire is preparing for the ”Duel” war between Azores and imperial rulers with the ”specifications” to resist the invasion of demons.
But why
Why is the more fully prepared you are, the more afraid you are of ”what you still lack” and ”what you have forgotten”?
What is it... What else do you forget and don't notice?
After all
”Is there a messenger from the blood skeleton Valley?”
The familiar voice interrupted dreisis's thinking. He instinctively turned and bowed to connord desallion, who suddenly appeared behind him.
”Not yet, but the first batch of baggage teams have successfully arrived at their destination!”
The deputy commander of the fortress said respectfully, without the panic of being asked suddenly.
Connord stood behind the battlements of the city wall, silently watching the glacier wasteland in the distance, without saying a word.
”Do you want to send someone to urge?” dreisis asked tentatively, ”Duke Byrne has been stationed in blood skeleton Valley for nearly a week, but no messenger has been sent, which is really...”
Before he finished, connord raised his hand and stopped him.
”If Loren Turin believes that he is in a situation where he should not contact me, it proves that he should not contact me.” connord said in a deep voice:
”He is not Sally Jonah, not Brandon... This man is very cautious, sometimes even too cautious; he must have a reason; as his emperor, I trust his judgment.”
Dreisis bowed his head and dared not say anything more.
”But what you said is also very reasonable. Send a messenger to ask.” Connor suddenly changed his words: ”don't tell him in the name of inquiry - inform him that the civil war in East Saxony is coming to an end, and I will soon call Brandon to lead the local army of East Saxony.”
After a little thought, dreisis understood the meaning of this ”notice”; To inform the other party of the next combat steps is to implicitly ask the other party to report the extent of the current combat.
”Can he understand?”
”He will understand.”
Conrad has no doubt about it.
Without much delay, dreisis immediately sent guards to summon the messenger and ordered him to take his Majesty's message to the blood skeleton Valley - even if he really didn't understand why Conrad trusted a wizard and ”colluded” with his highness Brandon.
”Although there was no news from Duke Loren, our Rangers found traces of the enemy's march on the west side of the boundary.”
After arranging the messenger, dreisis continued to say in a deep voice: ”now it is basically certain that the main army of the Azores is still in the west of the boundary breaking mountain. Only a small group of elite appeared in the blood skeleton Valley across the mountains, and it is likely to have retreated long ago.”
”At their present speed, the enemy will arrive at the fortress of duanjieshan and launch a siege as soon as tomorrow or five days later.” dreisis looked at Conrad:
