The area where Su Xiao is now is the front line of the war, while Bubo Wang is in the Holy Dragon City, the capital of the Soaring Dragon Empire.
After contacting Su Xiao, he learned that there were fifty people in the team looking for the core of the world, all of whom were agile contractors and were in the service category.
The task of the serving team is to find the core of the world and bring it to the designated location. As for the subsequent guard work, it depends on Su Xiao or various adventure groups.
But before that, we must first ensure that the situation on the frontline of the war between the empire and the tribe is stable. Once the frontline is breached, there is no need to look for the core of the world. Most of the contractors will die under the tribe's army. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will still die because of it.
The mission failed and was forcibly executed.
Su Xiao marched with the imperial army, and the soldiers near him were silent. The cruelty of cold weapon warfare can be imagined, but these soldiers had no fear, and only had numbness on their faces. It was a kind of numbness that looked at life and death.
To become an imperial soldier, there is a folk saying that a soldier is a noble lord, a tiger, a beast, or a dog.
After the soldiers received their military pay, the aristocratic lord drank alcohol and went to prostitutes, living a very cool life, just like the aristocratic lord.
Tiger beast is what civilians call tigers. Civilians are as afraid of soldiers as they are of tigers, so they describe soldiers as tiger beasts.
As for dogs, when the war broke out, the life of a soldier was not worth as much as a dog. If you live today, there will be no tomorrow.
Because we were marching on the plains, more than 100,000 people marched to form several square formations, which was so majestic that wild animals fled in panic and the ground trembled slightly.
Half an hour after the army marched, Su Xiao vaguely saw a black 'mountain' appearing in front of them. The mountain range cut across the plain and separated the empire from the tribe. It was extremely spectacular.
When Su Xiao got closer, she discovered that this was not a mountain range. It was a war defense line, similar to the Great Wall in the real world.
Seeing this war line of defense, Su Xiao cursed in her heart, and the war channel in Samsara Paradise exploded.
Su Xiao was very confused. How did the tribe break through this line of defense when the empire had such a favorable location? And occupied it.
Ahead is the Black Earth Fortress. The entire fortress divides the Black Earth Plain into two sections. If viewed from a high altitude, the Black Earth Fortress looks like a meandering black river dividing the Black Earth Plain.
The Black Earth Fortress has a total length of 176 kilometers and is made of obsidian. The entire fortress is blessed with 6782 magic brands. It is stronger than metal. Even the "Storm Knight" siege ram made by the dwarves cannot break through the Black Earth Fortress. The Black Earth Fortress will
The empire and the tribe's territory are separated. The empire's territory is inside the fortress, and the tribe's territory is outside the fortress.
The highest point of the Black Earth Fortress is 60 meters high, and the average height is about 40 meters. Standing below the fortress, it looks like a sky wall. It has stood here for 3,600 years and has been renovated no less than 30 times, with an average of once a hundred years.
"Can this thing... really be attacked?"
A contractor who was closer to Su Xiao looked up at the black earth fortress, with millions of grass and mud horses prancing past in his heart.
Not to mention the reaction of the contractors, Marquis Mark at the rear of the army is also looking up to the Black Earth Fortress. He has not been here for almost 20 years.
"Lord Marquis, this is the statistics of the number of soldiers and the storage of military rations, weapons, etc. The weapons promised by the Moon Elves have not been delivered for a long time. Now many soldiers have seriously chipped weapons and there is not much food and water resources.
…”
The deputy commander of the Iron Blood Legion knelt on one knee in front of Marquis Mark, who was riding on his horse.
"knew."
Marquis Mark is a little impatient. He is a middle-aged and elderly man with white curly hair, a mustache on his chin, and a somewhat stout body. He is wearing a black coat with gold threads woven into the collar and cuffs of the coat.
"But……"
Deputy Commander Carlos looked at Marquis Mark in surprise. Carlos was a burly middle-aged man. He was wearing blood-colored armor, and the bloody aura on his body was not even weaker than that of Su Xiao.
"Carlos, you just need to tell me if you can recapture the Black Earth Fortress before sunset."
Marquis Mark was riding on the horse and looked at the deputy commander Carlos with a somewhat complicated look. He didn't like this person. Generally, he would leave the less profitable errands to him, such as the hard work of guarding the frontier. Although he didn't like him very much, he
This person is needed now.
"Wha...what."
Carlos was stunned. He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"The Marquis asked you if you can recapture the Black Earth Fortress before dark,"
The imperial official next to Marquis Mark spoke. Although his official position was lower than Carlos, he looked at Carlos with some contempt because Carlos was the son of a nobleman and a prostitute.
"Lord Marquis, this seems...unlikely."
Carlos lowered his head. He wanted to drag the fat man off the horse three meters away, step on the face of this useless person who relied on the hereditary system to inherit the position of marquis, and let him take a closer look at the extent of the black earth fortress.
War fortifications.
Not to mention a day, even if Carlos was given a week, he would not dare to claim that he could retake the Black Earth Fortress. The tribe captured this place and killed nearly 120,000 orcs + dwarves + goblins + trolls, fighting without sleep for half a month.
In the end, the corpses were piled up to the level of the black earth fortress, and the tribesmen stepped on the corpses to attack.
"If the war goes very smoothly, it will take about ten days to recapture the Black Earth Fortress."
Carlos is actually a bit exaggerated. Even if everything goes well, it would be good to recapture the fortress in half a month. This is still based on the fact that the empire will continue to send more troops to the black soil plains and recapture the fortress using the same method of stacking corpses.
"Ten days is too long."
Marquis Mark was very dissatisfied.
"Give you a week, and Duo won't show up here. Now I have become the laughing stock of Shenglong City. If you can't do it, I will find someone who can do it to replace you."
"As commanded."
Carlos' steel teeth clenched his head. He knew in his heart that he could not be replaced no matter what. It had nothing to do with status or selfish desires. Once he lost the position of deputy commander of the Iron-Blooded Legion, the Black Earth Fortress would be destroyed.
That's it. He has been guarding here for twenty years. At that time, he was just a squad leader. He dedicated everything in his life here. No one knows the Black Earth Fortress better than him. He has made countless great achievements. People call him the blood of the frontier fortress.
lion.
"My Lord Marquis, I have a request."
After Carlos said these words, he took a deep breath. The deputy commander of the army, who had killed countless enemies, actually hesitated.
"explain."
Marquis Mark had already guessed what Carlos was going to say, which was nothing more than asking for promotion to a higher rank.
"The war on the Black Earth Plains requires more troops."
"Oh?" Marquis Mark was a little surprised. This was different from what he imagined. He touched the beard on his chin and said, "How much do you need?"
"At least two hundred thousand."
Carlos' fists were clenched, and he was ready to take back the fortress with his life.
"Impossible. Other defense lines of the empire also need troops, up to 50,000."
Hearing Marquis Mark's words, Carlos raised his head with a cry, and the armor on his body collided. Marquis Mark was shocked by his momentum and felt a chill in his heart.
"Carlos, what do you want to do!"
Marquis Mark roared with anger and anger, and hundreds of soldiers beside him drew out the swords from their waists and surrounded Carlos.
