Chapter 445： Triumph Day (1/2)

The meeting continued until sunset. When the lights ignited, the work on the reception, control and renovation of the meteorite fortress was finally arranged. In all the arrangements, the most important thing is who should come next. Strictly guard this vital northern portal.

Gao Wen did not choose the two "veterans" of Philip and Byron.

The loyalty and ability of the two knights are of course unquestionable. However, they are not suitable for guarding the Rock Fortress. The First Combat Corps they led, as the main force of Cecil, bears the responsibility of maintaining the security of the entire South and defending the dark mountains, especially Two points, Gao Wen did not dare to relax anyway.

In Gao Wen's eyes, the threat of the wasteland opposite the Dark Mountain Range is far greater than the human kingdom in the north. Although the Rock Fortress is an important gateway to the South, it is no longer important that Gao Wen can weaken the defense of Cecil.

Byron and Philip can't be tied to the fortress, and apart from them, the younger generation of commanders trained in Cecil's homeland are still lacking in experience, and they have not yet had the ability to take on this important task.

In the end, Gao Wen chose the old knight Valder Peric from the Kant region.

The highly qualified knight, with the help of Phillips, successfully transformed an old-style aristocratic private squad into a second squad of Cecil. Although the corps still has a lot to wait for, the old knight’s abilities have In this process, it is reflected, and it is even more commendable that Wald Peric’s ability to accept new things and new ideas is unexpectedly strong. As the oldest knight in the Kant region, he is learning new weapons and new weapons. The speed of thinking is even faster than those of young people. Even Philip has praised Gao Wen for this.

In addition to the ability, Wald Peric's character is equally trustworthy.

The task of guarding the Rock Fortress and renovating and modernizing the fortress fell on the Second Combat Corps.

After the meeting, Gao Wen stood in the hall that had become deserted and looked at the map hanging on the wall and fell into meditation.

The North Gate was knocked down.

Wang Du may soon know the news, but at present, the Duke of the West and the Duke of the North are struggling to cope with the rebel situation in the East. They will be unable to solve the crisis in the South. They know that the fighting power of the Rock Fortress can naturally be estimated. How strong is the Cecil army that breaks through the Rock Fortress in one day. As long as it is not stupid, the two Grand Dukes will realize that even in this case, even if a team is put together, it is impossible to make a meteorite fortress. If you take it back, it will only add to the consumption. So the most likely reaction of the king is to send the messenger to come in contact to seek temporary "security."

Regardless of whether the king is a messenger or an army, it is almost the same for Gao Wen. All he wants is a Principality of Cecil that is completely outside his control and he is in control. He will temporarily close the door. Isolation of all the forces that want to dye the guideline, and then quietly absorb and digest this vast territory that has just fallen into the hands, so that your basic disk is completely stabilized and enters the benign stage of industrial operation. This process may need to be counted. Even if there is pressure from the magic tide for a long time, he has to speed everything up. This process is indispensable.

The emergence of modern weapons will eliminate traditional castle tactics, but this does not mean that the gateway to the Rock Fortress is meaningless. At least at this stage, this North Gate will firmly hold the land of the Principality of Cecil.

The nearby air was slightly distorted, and a shadow emerged from the air. Gao Wen turned to look at the direction of the shadow: "How is the situation outside?"

Amber took the water from the side table and took a cup of tea that had already cooled down. This began to report the situation outside: "Everything is orderly, the main force has completed the takeover, the fortress is the original The defenders have been detained all at once. The steel rangers have just found the last group of hidden guys from the mills in the west of the city. They are the exiled knights in the original Southland. Their ability to escape and hide is really growing a lot."

Gao Wen nodded: "What about civilians in the city?"

Amber grabbed a snack and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed and said: "The inner city is martial law, the wartime curfew is enforced, and the civilians are of course in their own house, but the horsewoman named Margarita has already taken it. The soldiers went to read the 'Anmin notice', and sent the materials and medicines used for appeasement. Both of these things are still very useful. At present, the civilians in the inner city are not only nervous, but the order is quite good."

Gao Wen sighed: "Because we did not bomb the civilian area."

The Rock Fortress is a fortress-type city that is both a fortress and a city. Nearly 10,000 soldiers have been stationed here for a long time. In order to maintain the operation of the fortress and the stability of the army, the center of the fortress is a fully functional town, except for soldiers. There are also a large number of civilians living here too.

In order to prevent accidental injury to the civilian area, during the entire shelling process, the Cecil army bombed only the southern wall and the military facilities behind the first wall, and even Soldlin and Roppini carried out sabotage operations in the inner city. At the time, their burning and attacking targets were also places such as military camps, outposts, and mage towers. The urban areas inhabited by civilians were slightly affected in the process, but compared with other places, those injuries can be almost can be ignored.

It can only be said that the fragility of the aristocratic army in this era helped Gao Wen’s great help. Those undisciplined and convinced conscription soldiers lost their will to resist almost immediately after the collapse of the city wall, so the Cecil army could only proceed. Take the entire fortress with limited shelling. If the garrison of the Rock Fortress is an army with a strong will and modern experience, if they continue to resist after the wall collapses, they will even retreat into the inner city and rely on intricate streets and houses. Fighting with the Cecils, the battle will never win so easily.

The civilian damage in the inner city is definitely not so slight.
