Chapter 316: Frontline fortress (1/2)
Chapter 316: Frontline fortress
This kind of not complicated work did not require Chu Tian to personally go and sending Yun Yao and Feng Caidie were enough, but the Southern Summer King wanted to be cautious and personally asked for Chu Tian to go.Because the establishment of the information system was related to the situation of the war, there could be no mistakes at all.
After Meng Qingwu learned of the situation, she said to Chu Tian, “A normal company cannot approach the frontline fortress.This is a rare chance, so I want to come with you.”
Chu Tian was a bit surprised, “The young miss also wants to go?”
Meng Qingwu said, “The frontline fortress is a very large market.After the special war starts, food, military supplies, tools, and etc. will all be in large demand.Miracle Commerce needs to prepare in advance, which will help Miracle Commerce further expand. We can also prepare before the war and build a more reliable foundation for the war.”
These words were also reasonable.
Then he would bring the young miss along.
Chu Tian was responsible for constructing the communication network and the young miss was in charge of inspecting the market, discussing the possibility of cooperating with the frontline fortress.These two matters did not contradict each other.
But once Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu left, Miracle Commerce would lose their two leaders.
Chu Tian set off for the frontlines with the royal party and the imperial teacher Gu Qianqiu was also coming.With the Calm Martial Ruler also away, wouldn’t Miracle Commerce be cut off from help in Imperial City?
Because they were worried that people would point a knife at their back, they left Chen Bingyu and the eighteen Yin Corpses for protection.Chu Tian was going with the royal party, the great scholar, and even had the little fox for secret protection on this trip, even if something suddenly happened, Chu Tian should be able to deal with it!
On the frontline of the Southern Summer Country, there were a total of five fortresses, with each one having a large army stationed there, so his safety would be guaranteed.The Southern Summer King had a request for Chu Tian, so for Chu Tian’s future, he would play a large role. Even if the Southern Summer King was narrow minded, he would not make a move against Chu Tian.
The next morning.
The royal party set off.There were three golden lions with strength in the 9th Awakened Soul Layer pulling the carts and two hundred griffin knights escorting them.There was the senior general Wang Tianlong riding his Earth Dragon opening the way and Gu Qianqiu and Chu Tian following behind, slowly moving towards the north.
This lineup was very shocking and there were no chances of an assassination.In fact, there was no one that dared to assassinate the Southern Summer King.
For people that could sit at the top in this era, even if they did not sit on the top, they at least wouldn’t be too weak.The Southern Summer King was a bit weaker than the Calm Martial Ruler, but he was still an expert of the True Spirit Realm! He was not someone that normal people could deal with!
Who had the ability to assassinate the Southern Summer King in the Southern Summer Country?
However, the Southern Summer King bringing Wang Tianlong along went against Chu Tian’s expectations.Although Chu Tian did not like this fellow, the Southern Summer King bringing him out of Imperial City was advantageous to Miracle Commerce.At least there was no need to worry that in this period of time, the Wang Family would move against Miracle Commerce.
On the vast prairies, there was not a single person, only seeing the occasional scout outpost.There were no hindrances on this entire journey and finally a black line appeared on the horizon.
They had finally arrived!
This was the Southern Summer Country’s northern border!
Everyone could see five fortresses in the distance with the center one being the largest.It was named the “Iron and Steel Fortress” and was known as the “Iron Wall”. With fifty thousand Southern Summer soldiers stationed there, this was the line blocking the War Hounds Tribe.
This city of iron and steel seemed like it had fallen from the sky or jumped out of the earth, suddenly appearing in the middle of the vast prairies.When any Southern Summer citizen saw this iron city for the first time, they would surely be shocked by its grandeur.
This iron city was not just a fortress, but there were also two iron walls expanding around the city, forming a barrier, covering a distance of over a hundred kilometers.These iron walls were fifty meter high and were made of extremely firm rocks, as well as being covered in a layer of iron. Under the sunlight, it was like a wall that covered the sky, making people stunned.
It was like a giant black monster reaching its arms out, wanting to bring the prairie into its chest, how could that pressure not make people fall down?
This was the famous Southern Summer City Wall.
The entire city wall stretched over a thousand kilometers, connecting the five frontline fortresses.
The five fortresses had a protective army which the Departing Flame and Battle Dragon Armies were a part of.
The five frontline fortresses and the City Wall formed a very strong defensive system, protecting the Imperial Region from the War Hounds Tribe’s raids again and again.
This great northern barrier had been commanded by the first generation Southern Summer King, using the energy of over a million people, being completed around the third generation Southern Summer King’s reign.It had consumed an enormous amount of resources and manpower, making the Southern Summer Country poor for a long time, but it had a very significant use afterwards. This was a very effective attack defense city.
Meng Qingwu was a bit stunned looking at it, “Is this a miracle created by the Southern Summer Country?”
The Southern Summer Country’s northern wall was spoken of by wandering poets.Meng Qingwu had only heard of this great miracle, but being able to personally see this miracle today meant she wasn’t born in the Southern Summer Country in vain.
The griffin knights entered the fortress first with the royal proclamation.
When the royal party arrived in front of the fortress’ large doors, a strong and majestic voice rang out, “Open the doors!”
