Leishan Fortress was built two hundred years ago. In order to permanently resist the orcs' southward journey, Fernando I used huge manpower and material resources to the naturally formed Hengduan Mountains Fault Canyon, which is the only connecting the Nantalun Prairie.
A solid fortress was built with the North Talun Prairie Pass. After the fortress was built, Fernando I stood on the fortress wall and looked north, expressing the feeling of "I am afraid that only Thor's wrath can break through here." Thor Fortress also
This is named.
In order to effectively resist the attack of northern orcs, Thunder Fortress is actually divided into three parts. The northernmost part is a solid city wall that blocks the north-south Talun Grassland Passage. It is five kilometers long in the canyon, and is built on both sides of the canyon along the mountains.
It winds about two kilometers and is seven kilometers long. It is the first line of defense for humans to resist orcs. It is said that only the anger of Thor can destroy this place. This is also the true Thor Fortress.
This solid city wall is quite thick and has a very tight defense. At any time, it is on a warning state, and no non-Thor Fortress garrisons are prohibited from entering and leaving. There is a gate in the center of the city wall. If it is fully opened, ten people can be allowed to be
The knights lined up and went in and out, which was the only way to enter and exit the Thor Fortress from the northern Talun Prairie. In the battle fifty years ago, the orcs pressed all over the line, posing a great threat to the city walls of the Thor Fortress, but at that time
The commander of the defender boldly led 10,000 knights to break into the orc position from here, disrupting the rhythm of orc attack, and finally shattering the orc attack.
For safety reasons, the inside of this city gate was blocked. The huge city gate that was three meters thick, the iron gate weighing more than 10,000 kilograms, and various deadly mechanisms on both sides of the city wall passage would allow the attackers to
Disqualified: Instead of entering Thunder Fortress from there, it is safer to climb over the city wall directly, and the losses will be smaller.
The city wall of Thor Fortress is a completely small street, and eight carriages can easily drive side by side. If the enemy starts attacking, the commander on the city wall can easily flexibly allocate his own troops to the enemy's troops.
There is a wall about one person tall on the side facing outward, which can effectively defend against enemy long-range bows and arrows.
Every 100 meters away from the city wall, there will be a section protruding from the outside of the wall, which is the tower. With the tower facilities, the soldiers stationed inside can play a role in the soldiers stationed on the city wall to eliminate the
At the dead corners of the city, attacking the enemy from top to bottom from three sides. Usually, there are quite elite shooter troops stationed in the towers, and their range can cover the two towers on their left and right, maximizing long-range fire support.
About one kilometer south of this section of the city wall, which is the exit of the Grand Canyon in the south, is the military camp of the Thor Fortress garrison. The entire military camp runs for more than ten kilometers and can usually be stationed more than 100,000 troops. Between the camp and the northern city wall.
It is a smooth and flat avenue. Once an enemy attacks, the garrison here can rush to the front line as fast as possible. Usually, the garrison here will call this military camp: "Captain No. 1."
"Camp No. 1" not only garrison soldiers, but also twelve giant stone throwing cars. The range of these stone throwing cars is about three to five kilometers away. At the moment of war crisis ahead, tens of thousands of them can be shot out here.
The boulders, as long as the time is right, can destroy the enemy's attack and crush their will.
About five kilometers south, that is, on the Nantalun Prairie, there is another military camp, which is where Ryan and the others rest. In fact, strictly speaking, this place can no longer be called a military camp, it almost contains a city
All facilities you should have: bars, churches, magic guilds, mercenary guilds, various shops... Merchants from other parts of the mainland will dump their goods here, and the defenders of Thor Fortress will take turns to take vacations and come here to relax
.
Since the garrison of Thunder Fortress is one of the most elite troops in the empire, many soldiers here are basically unable to return to their hometown to visit relatives before retirement, so the garrison leader of Thunder Fortress acquiesced to them to bring their families and build a wooden house here.
Or set up a tent. During the holiday, they can do whatever they want. Many soldiers also married the daughters of the Clay herders and reproduced. So after two hundred years, a
It is a very lively city, but its predecessor is a military camp after all, and most of the people living there are related to the garrison, so the name here is still habitually called "Military Camp No. 2".
With Bart, a qualified guide, Ryan and the others soon became familiar with the place. The soldiers here mainly came to the northern part of the mainland, the areas actually controlled by the Fernando royal family, while the majority of the merchants who came here to do business came to the southern part of the mainland.
Among them, there are the most merchants in the Free Paradise. However, since they are now in a state of alert, the "military camp" seems much deserted, and basically no soldiers are wandering around. Even if you see one occasionally, you will hurriedly walk by...
look
Although the orcs are coming in full force this year, the residents and merchants here do not care at all, because the orcs have not crossed the Thor Fortress for two hundred years. This year, probably won’t be it? Besides, the more in this state of war, the business of those merchants will
The better, the more it is because the soldiers of Thunder Fortress face life and death every day. Perhaps they will no longer enjoy today and will not have the chance to survive tomorrow. As long as they overcome the orcs' initial fierce attack and enter the stalemate stage, the garrison of Thunder Fortress
There will be a planned rotation to repair, and that is also the time when this place becomes lively.
All the supplies brought by Lille and York were loaded into a warehouse three kilometers outside the military camp, where a thousand soldiers were guarding it, and it must have been foolproof. The sets of equipment for lifting heavy objects had been assembled.
They were transported to Camp No. 1 on standby, and Lille and York were also divided into four groups, taking turns to stay next to the equipment, ready to fix the various problems that arise.
Seeing that this place was shrouded in the dark clouds of war, Ryan calculated and got the news from Thor Fortress, sent a messenger, and it had been almost three months since he arrived here. He didn't know what the war was going on now, and we lost it.
Is it big? So Ryan couldn't help asking this question.
Bart's reply surprised Ryan and others. They thought that the war should have entered a state of life and death intertwined, but they never thought that until today, the Thor Fortress defenders were on high alert, but the orcs' huge army still did not.
It appeared, but their vanguard troops had already stayed about fifty kilometers away from Thor Fortress. Thor Fortress sent a large number of scouts, but they could not pass the orc blockade. After a few months, the scouts of Thor Fortress suffered heavy losses.
Now I have to shrink back.
Ryan couldn't help but wonder: "What does orc mean? Is it a bluff?"
"What does orc mean? Is it a bluff?" General Keenster, the highest military commander of Thunder Fortress, sat alone in the combat command room, looking at the map around Thunder Fortress, thinking repeatedly. Distance to find that orcs gathered in large numbers of troops.
It has been almost three months now. According to the orcs' past situation, they would soon come to Thor Fortress and launch the most fierce attack, but now, the orcs are moving slowly, and they are not as fast as their ancestors.
A tough guy.
General Keenster was already worried about this matter with white hair. General Keenster, who was born in the Royal Knights, was sent to the northern defense line of the empire, Thor Fortress, three years later, he replaced the retirement.
The position of the former general has become the highest military commander here. In recent years, although the orcs have occasionally attacked Thor Fortress, their troops are very weak, with the most less than 50,000, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong. General Keenster is very
It was easy to lead the garrison of Thor Fortress to defeat them. If the orcs had not left more than 10,000 corpses, General Keenster even thought they were just completing a tradition left by his ancestors, just as the nobles of the imperial capital were in the cold winter
They all have the habit of taking a boat south for vacation in advance.
Now, General Keenster has searched through the description of the orc attacks by the highest military commanders of Thor Fortress over the past two hundred years, but he could not find any attempts to find the orcs. So General Keenster was in a dilemma: continue to keep alert
The state will make the garrison consume morale quickly, fall into a kind of mental fatigue, affecting combat effectiveness; but once this alert state is lifted, if the main orcs rush to the night, it will only take two days to attack the Thor Fortress.
At that time, the human army had just lifted its alert state, and the soldiers relaxed and might be able to be successfully attacked by the enemy.
After thinking about it, General Keenster felt that the best way to do so at present was to break through the orc blockade line and find the main position of the orcs. As long as you understand the orcs' intentions, it would not be difficult to deal with it. The Thor Fortress started from the day it was built.
The intention of human beings has undoubtedly been expressed, that is, only defense, not attack. After all, the orcs are defeated in the war, and at most they can retreat northward. But once humans lose the Thunder Fortress, it means that the orcs can drive straight into and pass through the prairie thousands of kilometers south.
Directly attack the city of Fernando, the imperial capital of the Holy Alliance.
When he could only defend passively, General Keenster had no choice but to rub his head that was painful helplessly and continued to think about countermeasures: In the current situation of the enemy is unknown and the scout suffered heavy losses due to the enemy's strict seal, how can he do this?
Looking for a breakthrough?
"We still have to continue to investigate. The enemy situation is unknown for a day, and our army will not be able to rest for a day. It will be detrimental to our army if we drag it on like this." General Keenst said a few words to himself, and then he picked up the quill and
Three lines of words were written on the notebook in front of him: "Information, the main force of orcs, and the mercenary."
"Maybe, I can use the power of these mercenaries."
