The last shrike let out a desperate roar, and its eyes seemed to have human-like emotions.
It watched helplessly as its people were being slaughtered but was helpless, its eyes clearly conveying anger.
It spread its wings, let out a sharp roar, and rushed towards the general among the human cavalry.
But before he could pounce, a sharp spear pierced his chest.
puff
Then the general of the Golden Celestial Dynasty pulled out the spear in his hand, and the shrike man's body fell to the ground. He wiped the blood on the gun blade with the soles of his boots, then raised his head and spoke.
"Cut off their heads and receive the reward!"
"Let's go! Back to the city!"
"Kaicheng!"
"Kaicheng!"
The cavalry who were out on patrol returned to camp, and the sound of trumpets sounded from the towering city top. Then the gates of Jincheng opened wide to welcome the return of this group of cavalry who had been beheaded.
The five fortresses were built in the northeast of the Golden Celestial Dynasty. The five military fortresses were called the Five Cities of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The five cities from north to southeast were Fire City, Earth City, Gold City, Water City, and Wood City.
This group of patrolling soldiers came from Jincheng, and Jincheng was also the most advanced fortress on the Chinese border. It was located in the center of the five bases and was located in a strategic location. The other four cities must cooperate with Jincheng to defend against the monsters and protect the center.
The land is not invaded by monsters.
"Colonel Lieutenant."
"Captain Xu."
"Thanks for your hard work."
And the middle-aged 'general' with a short black beard, who had just led a patrol of hundreds of cavalry to capture the head of eighteen shrike men and made a great contribution, was dismounting from his horse and walking quickly towards the general's mansion in the golden city.
"Um."
The 'general' named Xu just nodded his head to the greetings around him and took care of the matter, but his pace did not slow down at all.
His surname is Xu and his name is Zining. In fact, Xu Zining is not the 'general' his subordinates call him.
A general is a very high military rank in the Golden Celestial Dynasty. He is often a senior general who guards a party or is qualified to lead an army alone. The "general" in the mouth of his subordinates is just a lower-level military attache calling a higher-level military attache, a compliment or a conventional title.
There is no particularly strict law in the Chinese army to prohibit the casual use of "general", so everyone just calls it that.
And Xu Ying is actually a captain in Jincheng. The military rank of a captain is neither high nor low, second only to the general. He can lead a certain type of army under the general, such as infantry or cavalry, and he is
The scout captain of Jincheng.
Because of his superb martial arts skills, excellent horsemanship skills, and amazing spear skills, one man and one rider can go deep into the land of shrike and even the gray wasteland to hunt down these monsters and then escape unscathed.
Therefore, the captain surnamed Xu has a high prestige among Jincheng soldiers and is admired and loved by the soldiers.
"Captain Xu."
However, when Xu Zining arrived at the general's residence, he discovered that General Jincheng was not at his residence.
"Where is the general?"
The middle-aged captain with short black beard frowned slightly, and then asked in a serious voice.
The guards on duty at the General's Mansion did not hide anything and spoke respectfully.
"Captain Xu, the general has gone to Hualou."
"Flower House?"
Hualou is a brothel.
The middle-aged captain's brows furrowed even more when he heard this, and it was obvious that his expression was slightly unsatisfactory.
As a general, now that the long night has fallen and the battle is ahead, how can I miss you?
"Captain, do you want me to take you to the general?"
The soldier on duty at the General's Mansion asked.
"No, thank you."
"I'll go find him myself."
The middle-aged captain's brows finally relaxed. General Jincheng was the emperor's conferred commander-in-chief of the entire Jincheng. Even though he was a little dissatisfied, he only dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
The Five Bases are five giant military fortresses and also five cities. Each of these cities is built on a very large scale.
Each city is enough to support tens of thousands of Celestial soldiers who can go into battle to kill the enemy, and there are also many ordinary residents in the city. Although it is a military fortress to defend against monster invasion, it is also a city of five Celestial Dynasties.
And since it is a city with ordinary residents, it is inevitable that there will be many non-military facilities in the city, such as flower buildings.
However, the most important job of the fifth base is to defend against monster invasion, so it looks like a hedgehog full of spikes.
There are also granaries, weapons depots and other places underground on the fifth base, which store a large amount of grain, grass, knives, swords, bows, crossbows and other military supplies, which are enough to support the fifth base without falling from the inside after being besieged for more than ten years.
.
Because from the beginning of its construction, the fifth base was like the Great Wall of Despair on the other side of the world, designed to defend against legendary enemies.
Over there in Westeros are the White Walkers, and here in the Golden Celestial Kingdom are the demons of the Night Lion.
But the difference is that there are many countries in Westeros. There have been hundreds of countries from the Heroic Age to the present. Westeros has not been unified since Aegon's conquest, so people are gradually immersed in it.
In the midst of the struggle, the real enemy from the north was forgotten.
The Golden Kingdom of Yi was born after the Long Night eight thousand years ago, and the gradually declining Kingdom of Dawn collapsed in the Long Night.
But the Fifth Base ordered by the Pearl Emperor was built thousands of years before the Long Night fell. The Fifth Base was built much earlier than the Great Wall of Westeros, and it also resisted terrifying monsters that were different from the White Walkers.
However, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Yi people have never forgotten their true enemy.
Because although the dynasty has gone through eleven dynasties since the dawn of the Kingdom to the establishment of the Golden Heavenly Dynasty, it has maintained a unified trend from beginning to end.
Today's Weilan Dynasty is even more torn apart. The emperor's orders cannot leave Yidu, there are many princes and nobles, and the feudal kings are fighting in chaos.
In the north of the Celestial Dynasty, there was also the great general Bo Xiong who was so proud of his troops that he even wore a yellow robe and called himself the "Taizu of the Orange and Yellow Dynasty". He fought against the emperor Bu Hai.
General Boxiong was brave and good at fighting and was well versed in military literature and military strategies. He repeatedly sent troops into the grasslands to severely attack his restless neighbor in the north. Therefore, he was called the "Hammer of Juggernais" by the people and soldiers in the northern Yidi.
However, even though the Weilan Dynasty has been torn apart, the country as a whole still maintains its overall framework. The elite defenders of the Celestial Dynasty stationed at the fifth base are also disobedient to the orders of the Emperor of Yidu.
Because their mission is to guard the borders of the Celestial Kingdom and fight against the legendary demons under the Night Lion and the monsters in the gray wasteland, not to quell the rebellion.
If once the troops are mobilized and returned, the fifth base will inevitably be empty. If once the devil from the northeast breaks through the fifth base, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, throughout the dynasties, the fifth base defenders have had this attitude towards the emperor's orders.
From the time when Fifth Base was built thousands of years ago to now, it has never fallen.
