The chaos in the imperial capital has not affected the war in Twak for the time being.

In November, the weather in the north of the continent is even colder than the deep winter in the Sook Plains, and the temperatures in the Twark Fort and Rukhburg areas north of Twak have plummeted below freezing as early as mid-month.

Fighting in such weather is the most important test of the endurance of the soldiers.

Of course, the soldiers of the Twak Territory would not be afraid of such cold at all, let alone the orcs, whose environment in the Western Continent was ten times worse than this.

The only one to worry about the weather was Pedi, whose soldiers almost never saw the real cold.

...

The offensive and defensive battles in Twak City have entered the final stage of confrontation, and the cold weather in the extreme east of the mainland has eased the tense battle that has lasted for nearly a month.

On the evening of November 4th.

The capture of Fort Tulbuk was carried out on time under the leadership of Sir Andy.

Fort Tulbuk,

Built two hundred years ago, the castle began as a forward command post for barbarian warfare.

After the Barretts pacified the Twak Empire, the Barretts divided the area and Fort Tulbuk to the Devon family, who were the most fierce against the barbarians at the time.

For historical reasons, the castle was built as a military fortress, and the terrain around it is mostly steep cliffs, and after several generations of efforts by the Devin family, the surrounding mountains of this castle have been almost hollowed out, and from a distance, the whole castle seems to sit on a huge pillar of stone.

The surrounding hills of the 'Pillars' block almost all the roads leading to the northern part of the Fort Turbuk region.

The only entrance to the fort in Tulbuk is a drawbridge, and at the other end of the drawbridge is a towering mountain due south of the 'Stone Pillars'.

Steep mountain walls, winding paths, and the only drawbridge are the perfect defenses of the castle.

Therefore, if you want to take this castle in a short time, you must control this suspension bridge for a long time, but the control rod of this suspension bridge is inside Tulbuk Castle!

An impenetrable castle, isn't it?

Of course not! In fact, it has a fatal weakness.

Its weakness is the suspension bridge.

Because the suspension bridge needs to be controlled by people, and 'people' have an element of change.

...

8 p.m. sharp,

When the last two squads of patrol soldiers at Fort Thurbuk returned to the castle, the massive drawbridge slowly rose with the sound of cogs 'clicking'.

The supreme commander who remained at the castle, Viscount Parminal, briefly appeared for a moment while the drawbridge was raised, and then vanished.

The mood of this viscount has been getting worse and worse day by day in the past few months, as the first deputy minister of the kingdom's military department, he was fully qualified to stay by the king's side, but the truth is that he was ordered to stay by Nishizawa Devon!

Viscount Parminal's current immediate boss, Sir Briff, Minister of War, was originally much lower than him, but when the first Minister of War of the Kingdom fell, Viscount Parminal thought that Sir Berliff would immediately take his place.

Yes, in the mind of Viscount Parminal, the current position of Minister of War should have belonged to him.

And the loss of the key point of promotion to Minister of War is, in the eyes of Viscount Parminal himself, simply because he was not on the front line!

He worked for years to establish the kingdom of Gondwack, and Berry was nothing more than an errand runner.

An errand runner rode on the head of the original owner!

It's a big joke.

Paminal didn't like such jokes.

The appointment of the military department more than a month ago was like a thorn in Viscount Parminal's heart, and this thorn did not slowly disappear with the passage of time, but became deeper and deeper.

It's all just because he's not online, not by the king's side.

So, he hated his current position, and he hated everything in Fort Therebork!

Slowly, Viscount Parminal began to stop paying attention to the affairs of the castle... To this day, he doesn't even bother with the specific defense of the castle.

Yesterday, Nishizawa Tokuwen's handwritten letter reached the hands of Viscount Parminal.

When Viscount Parminier was full of hope, he was met with endless disappointment and anger!

In the letter, Nishizawa-Dewen used extremely harsh words to rebuke Viscount Parminal for his recent laxity and ordered him to strengthen the castle's defenses. But Paminar only saw the beginning of the letter, for the rest was reduced to ashes in his rage.

Today, Viscount Parminal does not make adjustments to the defense of the castle.

Half past two in the morning,

When the cold approached late at night, the soldiers who had not been supervised by the chief officer began to doze off with great fanfare, while the mid-ranking officers had returned to the barracks and wrapped themselves in thick bedding.

At this moment, most of the pots and torches on the walls of Fort Turbuk had been extinguished, but no one had replaced them.

"Click"

The familiar sound of gear grinding began to sound...

"Click"

"Click"

The sound continued for a long time, but not a single of the Turbuck guards was alert.

On the opposite side of the castle, at the top of another mountain, Andy and Knight Syra were hiding behind a mountain near the official road, and behind them there was a dense and deep sound of breathing.

If you look closely, you can see that there are spears and armor.

"The vigilance of the rebels is too poor. Knight Sila couldn't help but whisper.

"They weren't vigilant at all. Andy was also surprised, "But that's good news for us, isn't it?"

"It seems that the gods are on our side tonight. Knight Sila wore a smile of yearning for victory, "Today, victory belongs to us. ”

"I was very sure of that from the beginning. Andy chuckled.

"Bang"

Just as the two were talking, a louder collision suddenly echoed in their ears.

"Huh"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on the soldiers who were sleeping in the faint light of the fire near the drawbridge in the distance.

In the faint light of the fire, like a lighthouse in the sea, the spear that fell on the wall shook slightly at the same time as a loud bang, followed by a few cursed words to himself.

Andy and Knight Syrah were shocked.

The surrounding squad members stared at their boss without blinking, waiting for the order to attack.

"Order, sir. Knight Sila was a little out of breath.

Andy couldn't hold his breath either, as the guard was slowly standing up at the moment, and if he detected the anomaly, the magic whistle he carried with him could resound over the entire Fort of Tulbuk.

There was only one chance to attack in this operation.

If it doesn't work this time, there won't be a next time!

After all, the commander of the castle is not a fool.

Can't hesitate!

Andy raised his head, ready to give the order for the troops to attack.

And at this moment, two black shadows on the distant city wall flashed by, and the guard who had just stood up fell softly, and soon, the few faint lights left disappeared.

"Whew"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go ahead with the plan. Andy, who was relieved, said to the Knight of Cyra next to him.

Knight Sila nodded, she lifted her visor and let the cold wind pour into the armor to blow away the cold sweat that had just oozing, and then whispered to the herald beside herald.

A few minutes later,

Dozens of soldiers in light armor slowly crossed the drawbridge under the cover of darkness.

Ten minutes later,

A faint red light flashed on the walls of Turbuk.

Knight Siarra looked at Andy, who nodded emphatically.

Soon, hundreds of soldiers in soft armor like they had just done rushed into the city walls.

Another ten minutes,

The originally dark walls were suddenly lit with torches and pot fires.

Andy, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked, he laughed and jumped to the nearby official road, he shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Follow my steps and enjoy the victory!"
