By noon, the demons of the entire Qiming Mountain had been wiped out.

Immediately after that, there was good news from the natives, although their movements were detected by the other party in advance, but fortunately, they reacted quickly enough and took an attack in time to make up for the loss.

Thanks to the red flares fired by Robertson, if the natives could not see the flares they fired, they would have turned and retreated.

Ordering the soldiers to eat and rest on the spot, Renard and many other high-ranking officials gathered in the open space at the top of the mountain to discuss the next course of action.

Renard raised his head and said: "We temporarily take Qiming Mountain as the foothold of the main army, which is only five kilometers away from Amboa Mountain, and the geographical position is superior, and it can be attacked and retreated......

After Lei Ye finished speaking, everyone began to speak to express their opinions.

Duke Edmund raised an objection, he frowned and said, "The area of Qiming Mountain is too large, and we may not be able to defend it with only 20,000 people. ”

He is right, the number of 20,000 people sounds very large, but Qiming Mountain is thousands of meters high, the slope is relatively gentle, and the area of the entire mountain is probably not less than dozens of square kilometers.

Don't say that you are guarding the whole mountain, even if 20,000 people are lined up along the mountainside, I am afraid that you can only barely go around twice.

Want to defend?

Duke Edmund added: "Besides, the demons don't need to attack at all, as long as they surround us, everyone will starve to death in the mountains." ”

Cliffor scratched his head, he felt that there was some truth in what the other party said, but he was reluctant to give up the mountain that he had so hard to capture.

After thinking about it, he said: "Then why don't we defend those caves, I have observed, the caves are very spacious, the big ones can accommodate hundreds of people, and the small ones can accommodate dozens of people." ”

"The most important thing is that the entrance to the cave is narrow, as long as the fortifications are built, even if the demon has thousands of troops, it will not be able to kill it. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at him as if they were stupid, and they really didn't know how this stupid wave got into the position of the commander of the legion.

Seeing this, Tracy patiently explained to Cleaver: "If we have dozens or hundreds of people guarding the cave, isn't it just giving the other party a chance to break through one by one, and it is not too easy for the demon to attack it." ”

"Not to mention the Barlow Flame Demon who will blow himself up, even if we attack with fire, we can't stand it, and the difficulties in supply have not been solved, and there are ......"

Listening to the other party's explanation, Cliffor realized how stupid his idea was.

He immediately stopped speaking, and listened honestly to everyone's discussions, and being good at accepting advice was an important reason why he was able to get into the throne of the legion commander.

In the end, Tracy made a more reasonable suggestion: "We might as well build fortifications two-thirds of the way from the ground, where the slopes are steep and the terrain is steep, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack......

"I'm afraid that except for the little devil with wings who can attack smoothly, it is not easy for other demons to climb up, and the most important thing is that this position can fully make up for our lack of manpower. ”

The crowd discussed this for a long time, and finally adopted his suggestion.

Qiming Mountain is of great strategic significance, and it is definitely impossible to give up, so you can only hold on.

The demons have just been repulsed, and with their chaotic establishment, they won't be coming back anytime soon.

So the people rested for half a day, and did not begin to lay out the fortifications until dusk.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a simple fortification consisting of horse-repellent piles and barbed wire was arranged.

At this time, Qiming Mountain completely changed, just like a proud king wearing a crown of thorns, and more like a trap waiting for wild beasts to set foot.

The soldiers were exhausted by the continuous high-intensity work, and Renard immediately announced: "We will have a small celebration banquet and have a good night's rest." ”

His suggestion was immediately echoed by everyone present: "Long live the Governor!"

Fortunately, this is in the Northern Continent, if it is the Tang Empire in the East, this sentence alone is enough for everyone to lose their heads.

It is said to be a celebration banquet, but in fact, it is just a relatively sumptuous dinner.

Half a catty of wine, half a catty of sauce beef, vegetable egg drop soup, white bread, and snacks per person.

In the previous world, this dinner was exquisite and rich, let alone in this other world that had been poisoned by demons for several years.

Everyone was quite satisfied with the meal, and with the strength of the wine, they slipped into the warm sleeping bag and fell asleep.

However, one person had surprisingly insomnia.

Renard stood at the top of the mountain, looking in the direction of Mount Amboa, his brow furrowed.

At this moment, he faintly felt remorse in his heart, and felt that this time he was a bit reckless.

What if he dies here? What if all the 100,000 elites of Gannan Province are buried here?

Don't say that it is all buried, that is, if more than half of it is lost, it will lead to the destruction of Gannan Province, and even the Kingdom of Arthur will not be guaranteed.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lives and deaths of the 30 million subjects of Arthur's kingdom depend on this battle, and each of his orders will have a great impact on the future.

Thinking about this, Renard sighed deeply, his eyes full of confusion.

At some point, Vivien suddenly appeared behind him.

Lei Ye turned around vigilantly, and after seeing the person who came, he showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Vivien blinked her eyes wide and asked, "Why can't I come?"

Forehead...... This question really stopped Lei Ye.

He couldn't help but joke: "Could it be that I'm worried that something will happen to me, so I came to protect me." ”

When Vivian heard this, she immediately explained: "It is the responsibility of the Holy See to deal with demons, and it is also the responsibility of the Inquisition, so we will definitely participate in this operation. ”

Renard rubbed his nose and secretly said that he was self-inflicted, and then reacted that he was robbing Lao Tzu for credit.

Everyone knows what a great achievement it is to exterminate tens of millions of demons, and I am afraid that everyone involved in this matter will be able to leave a name in the annals of history and let their descendants enjoy honor.

Now that the Holy See is becoming more and more weak, and it is in dire need of such credit to show her presence, it is not surprising that Vivien has arrived.

Thinking of this, Renard's favor for Vivian suddenly decreased a lot, but it was not to the point of disgust.

After all, the other party has helped him a lot, and it is reasonable to share some credit with others.

However, there will be some changes in the tone of his voice after all, he nodded and smiled: "In this case, I also hope that the warriors of the Holy See can actively cooperate with us in the battle." ”

Vivien was so clever in her mind and so perceptive in her discernment, and when she noticed the change in his tone, she knew what was going on in his heart.

She couldn't help but secretly say: Be careful.

Because of Lei Ye's indifference, the joy of seeing each other dissipated directly without a trace.

Vivien casually threw down the sentence: Got it.

He turned and walked away.
