"That's Copperhill!?" Britney, who was on the horse, was surprised and puzzled, in her impression, Copperhill didn't have a fortress, and. The location of Copper Mountain should not be at a fork in the road either.

Cressia chuckled, "Britney, don't you remember who the Lord of Coppermountain is? ”

"But...... Princess Cresia, this is too fast! It's only been a few days, has the town of Copper Mountain developed like this?"

Britney's words are true, even the descendants of the dragon king Antara may not be able to develop Copper Mountain Town into what it is in such a short period of time.

This requires not only strength, but also a large number of people, but where does Tongshan Town have such a population, even if you add the Hofer people, it is impossible to have a hundred.

Thinking of this, Cresia also felt amazed, fortunately, Cross was not their enemy.

Seeing Cressia and Britney coming, Cross walked down the city to meet them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Cross led the two back to the Stronghold.

"Lord Cross, I'm here to tell you an important piece of information. Cressia made it clear directly.

"Oh?

"Reinhardt's army captured the Borean Fortress last night. ”

After hearing the news, Cross was surprised in his heart.

The Borean Fortress is the largest fortress in the Crane Territory, and its role is to defend against the Church of the North.

Easy to defend and difficult to attack is the characteristic of the Borean Fortress.

But now, Reinhardt's army of 1,000 men had captured the fortress in just a few days, and Cross couldn't help but express his admiration for Reinhardt's military prowess.

Cross had speculated that it would take at least 20 days for Reinhardt to be able to breach the Borean Fortress.

His speculation did not underestimate Reinhardt's military ability, because, even Cross himself, with an army of 1,000 men, would need about 25 days to take the fortress with full certainty from Sunset City.

After all, the walls of the Borean Fortress are too high, the geography is too easy to defend, and there is a long marching time from Sunset City to the Borean Fortress. Reinhardt's raid was a military miracle.

However, Cross naturally did not show this surprise, "Is there any other information? Princess Cresia." ”

"As it be, Lord Cross was not surprised by Reinhardt's successful raid. ”

"Reinhardt is now the Earl of Klein Territory, and it is a good thing that he has succeeded in quelling the chaos. Cross digressed.

"Actually, Lord Cross doesn't want Reinhardt to grow, does he?"

"Princess Cresia, do you have any other information?"

Seeing Cross forcibly tear away the topic, Cresia couldn't help but feel funny, but fortunately, she didn't laugh out loud, and then, she said calmly, "Of course there is other information, or information from the Kingdom of Seayata." ”

Cross didn't rush to ask, he was ready to wait for Cressia to say it herself.

"Lord Cross, we can't give you this information in vain, you have to promise our princess a condition. Britney on the side couldn't wait.

Condition?

Cross thinks that such a deal is good, and the other party asks for a deal, which means that the authenticity of the information is very high, and it also shows that the movement of Seayadh's army has made Cresia feel uneasy.

So, Cross asked directly, "What conditions?"

"I want you to be our first line of defense. "Cressia doesn't beat around the bush either.

Hearing this, Cross was a little surprised, and he had a bad premonition.

"Tell me the information about Seatta's army first!" Cross's tone instantly became serious and nervous.

Cresia didn't dare to anger Cross, she had to tell the information first.

"The army of the Kingdom of Seatta has surrounded Wolfheart City in the middle of the Klein Territory. ”

"Is the enemy army marching from Blackwater, south of Wolfheart?"

Cressia nodded.

Cross's eyebrows furrowed, his guess was indeed correct, the Seatta army set out from the Castle of Nothingfall, and then, like the last time, directly through the Black Ridge Canyon from the Castle of Nothingfall, occupied the town of Blackwater, and then went all the way north to surround Wolfheart City.

As a result, Reinhardt's base camp was seriously threatened.

This is probably the fundamental reason why Reinhardt was able to capture the fortress of the north wind in about ten days: he had no way to retreat, and he had no choice but to advance.

And Reinhardt's ally, William, the lord of Norman City, must have been quite helpless at this time.

It is likely that the siege of Wolfheart by the Seatta army was intended to lure William's reinforcements, and if William misjudged the battle situation and chose to send troops to support, his army would be ambushed and severely damaged, and Norman City would be destroyed.

Klosson admired the military prowess of the Supreme Commanders and Generals of the Seayatta army, but so far, Cross did not think that the Seayata army was too much of a threat, they only had a numerical advantage.

"I see, no wonder Duke Cressia wants us in Copperhill as the first line of defense in Sunset City. Cross's tone was much calmer this time.

"Yes, Wolfheart City will soon be breached, and Seajarda's army will most likely invade our territory. ”

"I see that Copperhill can be Sunset's first line of defense, but I hope you can give us support with equipment. ”

"Sir Cross, what exactly do you need?"

Cresia immediately agreed to Cross's request, on the one hand, Sunset City did store a lot of equipment, after all, Sunset City did not have many guards, so they didn't need so much equipment.

On the other hand, Copperhill Town really needs the support of equipment, and all the guards in Copperhill Town fled without leaving any equipment behind. If the current residents of Copper Mountain were allowed to resist without equipment, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and Cressia would not want such a defensive line.

"Wararmor, spears, bows and arrows, swords and shields, 100 sets each. There are also dozens of Sunset City flags. ”

"No problem. Cresia was quick to agree.

"I also need a commander. ”

Cresia was a little puzzled, "Lord Cross, who else is more suitable to be a commander than you?"

Cross glanced at Britney, who was beside Cresia, and said firmly, "Britney." ”

Cressia lowered her head, she hesitated.

Britney strode up to Cressia and said, "Princess Cresia, I'm willing to be the commander of the first line of defense. ”

Britney is much more straightforward than the delicate-minded Cresia, and in her opinion, she is indirectly protecting Sunset City by doing so.
