It's a fortified city. As Sir Scar had previously said, although the City of Armor was a small city built on the plains, since the outbreak of war and the fact that the human alliance was wiped out by the Apostles by their main force, the new Barrier I of the Denomah Empire quickly built a strong line of defense. Although they did not have enough time to build a line of defense like the Courage Defense Line of the Danmoth Empire, Barrier I skillfully formed a line of defense without a wall connecting the three cities, including the City of Armor and the City of Walls.

Although this line of defense is not like the line of courage, with tall and strong walls enclosing the entire area. But Barrier I was very clever in exploiting the depth of the Denomah Empire. Although he did not have a strong line of defense, he had three large fortified cities that could be used as horns for each other. And even if these three cities are besieged separately, these three cities are located in the central hinterland of the Denoma Empire, and in the deeper places, there are cities and regions in the south for the Denoma Empire to defend.

But Barrier I never thought so. In his opinion, this barrier of defense was the last line of defense of the Denomah Empire. Once this place is breached, then the hinterland of the Denomah Empire will be unsafe. However, they still have an advantage, that is, as long as the ramparts can hold on, then the troops and materials from the hinterland will be continuously replenished. But once one of the cities has a problem and is breached, then this barrier of defense is in danger.

The City of Armor, which used to be a small city, is now a surprise to me. Sir Scar didn't know much about a city before, and the situation in the city of armor was much better now than what I had seen from afar. The ruined walls I had seen before were indeed there, but as the Tiger King and I entered the inner city, we realized that the ruined walls were nothing more than the outer walls. And during the time we rested, that section of the wall had been restored. And within that outer wall, there are two more walls. The two areas of these three walls were the barracks used by the soldiers of the Denoma Empire. The two inner cities of each wall were garrisoned by thousands of soldiers of the Denoma Empire, and there were also a certain number of mages in the inner city to use as a new force. This is also the reason why the destroyed sections of the walls of the City of Armor can be restored quickly.

"How long can you hold out?" I asked the mid-ranking officer who had received me earlier.

The middle-level officer's face was embarrassed: "Madam, I won't tell you, although our city defense is still relatively strong. But we have never had the experience of resisting an invasion of a race from another world like the Apostles. These fortifications were set by the standards we used to defend against the barbarians and orcs of the Ten Clans of the North. At this time, it is really very unbearable to defend against those apostles. In particular, the Apostles sent harassing troops to our south to harass our two ways, and we now have no food and grass to last a month. ”

"Then there's nothing left. I replied lightly. It seems that the soldiers of the Denoma Empire who garrisoned this city did not have much experience with the Apostles. If it weren't for their military training, then only two or three thousand apostles plus one high-level apostle would have been needed to destroy the entire armored city. No matter how strong and creative this armored city was, there was no way to resist the apostles' attack. "Where is your lord now?"

By this time, the mid-ranking officer had already led us to the inner city. In the inner city, the scars of war can be seen everywhere. In the entire interior of the City of Armor, I didn't see a single building that was more than three stories tall. And the most spacious building is actually a granary. It's just that there is not much food to eat in this granary now. And the outer city wall in the southeast is the destination of our trip.

"Ma'am, now we don't have a city lord. The middle-aged uncle smiled and said, "In the past few months, we have already changed three city lords in the city of armor. ”

I was startled and asked, "What do you mean, did the previous three city lords run away?"

"Ma'am, they didn't run away, they all died!"

I see, I see. I see, and it looks like I understand why the City of Armor is still holding out until now. Of course, the apostle's desire to train soldiers is one aspect, and the desperate resistance of the soldiers and civilians guarding the armored city is the more important reason. It was cold, and the snow was still falling heavily, but I felt warm. This is this officer, this is the three dead city lords, this is what the thousands of residents of the Dnoma Empire have sacrificed to bring me.

Seeing that neither I nor the Tiger King spoke, the middle-aged officer whispered to me: "Actually, we no longer have the position of city lord now. But we have now formed an association called the Armored City Self-Rescue Association, which is used to govern this city. It's just that the army that is now leading the armored city is no longer the city lord, but the three representatives who work together to manage this city. Now all three of them are there directing the day-to-day work. ”

"Well, we don't have much time now. I urged the middle-aged officer to speed up, but by this time I had already seen a man and two women waiting in a nearby square. "Are you the three representatives of the City of Armor?" I carefully looked at the middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman who was older and should be in her fifties, and a more capable woman in her thirties. Among them, the middle-aged man looked like he was from a Lian family, he was tall, athletic, and full of explosive muscles. Why can I see it so obviously? That's because although this middle-aged man is wearing a pair of trousers on the lower half of his body, the upper half of his body is actually naked! If this is spring and summer, there is no problem, but the weather is harsh now, but he is naked, he is just a human being, is he not afraid of the cold?

"The undead. The middle-aged man, who was wearing nothing on his upper body but was holding a giant axe, nodded to me and said, "You should be the lady of the sigh, the legend of you and that elf in this continent has affected the entire continent. This young lady is our magician, and she's gifted, for she has both earth and wind magic. is a wizarding genius. Of course, we didn't compare that pervert to that. ”

Hehe, that pervert is probably talking about Viren. Indeed, if the magical world of this continent is a flat plank, then Viren is a copper wall beyond this plank. The gap between him and the other magicians in the wizarding world is simply too much.

"Hmm. I nodded, "I've seen the power of magicians. For example, this lady is good at two kinds of magic, which is indeed very rare on this continent. It's an honor to meet you. ”

"Ma'am, this is the first time I've seen the undead, and I didn't expect it to be you the first time I've seen the undead!" The young sorceress seemed to be very excited, looking at her appearance, wanting to lean over but embarrassed. I was thinking that if she hadn't taken care of who she was now, she might even have come and hug me. I like girls like this, simple, direct, and cool. "You are a legend! You are a legend when you are alone in the Dammoth Empire, investigating the conspiracy between the Apostles and the Duke of Disgust, and the great deeds that followed!"

"You're welcome, haven't asked your name yet?"

The sorceress, however, was a little shy. "I, my name is Liao Ningzhu, and it is a rare ancient surname. This uncle doesn't know magic, but he can do a lot of martial arts. He is the Earl of the City of Armor, called... ”

"My name is Steel Tower. The middle-aged sturdy man straightened his chest, and his voice was thick and distinctive. "She's a lady of Warsaw, a very rare profession, a mechanic. The fact that our walls were able to be restored so quickly is due to Liao Ningzhu and the Warsaw lady. Alright ma'am, I think you're here to bring us good news. ”

Good news, if this thing is done well, it is indeed good news. But if you don't do it well, then it will be a nightmare. "Good news, that's not true. But if we can work together perfectly, maybe it will really bring us good news. Sir Scar's army of 70,000 is preparing to rescue the Armored City about two kilometers to the west. ”

"What?70,000 troops?" Liao Ningzhu looked at me in disbelief: "Ma'am, did Lord Scar bring out all the main forces supported by the barriers?

"Don't worry, no. I was relieved, "Of the three cities, only the City of Armor is in danger. And this heavy snow has already made the apostles stop attacking. Instead of you worrying about the Fortress City here, you might as well make a plan with me. ”

"What plan" The voice of the steel tower was a little urn-like: "The apostles who surrounded us are only more than 10,000 troops, but Sir Scar and you have brought 70,000 reinforcements, I don't think we need any plan, just throw it from the inside and outside." ”

The innocence of the steel tower made me feel a little funny: "Steel tower, have you killed the apostle before?"

Steel Tower shook his head: "I've never killed any apostles before. But now it is also found that the apostles are no different from the barbarians or orcs. ”

It seems that this steel tower is really just a big old man. But he does have the capital to be big. "That's just you fighting the apostles, but what about the soldiers under you?

The steel tower patted his head stupidly, and said with a smile: "I don't know, they don't have that chance, basically they just beat and die once." ”

I shook my head helplessly: "Ever since I arrived in the Danmoth Empire, I have basically been dealing with those apostles. The number of apostles I have killed may have reached tens of thousands so far, but I would like to say that the vast majority of those apostles I have killed are low-level apostles and other races of the apostolic world that are regarded as slave warriors by the apostles. Middle-level apostles and even high-level apostles who are really combative, in fact, I haven't killed much. But even if even the most ineffective ordinary apostle among them is killed by us on the battlefield, we need to fill it with the lives of ten or more human soldiers!

The steel tower was embarrassed, and judging from the expressionless expression on his face, it seemed that he really hadn't encountered anything like that. I saw him say with a blank face: "Is there such a large damage ratio? But why didn't I find out? When they attacked our city wall, our battle damage ratio was about 1 to 3." ”

"What? One to three? Is it three human soldiers killing one apostolic soldier?"

"No, a soldier of the Denoma Empire kills an average of three apostle soldiers. Liao Ningzhu spoke at this time: "We really didn't find anything terrible about those apostles? Even after breaking through the outer city wall, our battle loss ratio is still the same." It's just that at that time we didn't have a wall to rely on. ”

It immediately dawned on me that these apostles were not a regular army of apostles, but a bunch of inexperienced rookies. No wonder there was such a big battle damage. "You are dealing with a group of apostles who have no experience. That's why you've been able to barely get to this point. But if you think that is the case with all the apostles, then you think too well. Besiege but not attack, do you not find that the apostles are exercising you?"

Seeing that my face was a little unsightly, the Tiger King hurriedly adjusted: "This does not rule out that you yourself have such a strong combat power. Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if you can tell Gu how much army there is in the city?"

The steel tower didn't talk to me, but said directly to the Tiger King: "There are about thirty or forty thousand people who can be mobilized." But there are fewer real soldiers, and the elite troops, less than one-fifteenth. But those apostles outside are such rookies, even our people can easily kill an apostle. ”

I shook my head, and it seemed that the steel tower was not listening to me. "Alright, now I'll mention our tactics. We don't have much time right now, because this heavy snowfall hasn't lasted too long. Therefore, we must join forces with the Apostolic army that will raid the city tomorrow and the main force of Lord Scar, and try to break through the Apostles' western defenses. Moreover, the heavy snow has restricted the apostles' movements, and the apostles from other directions only need to feint to contain them. ”

"But why would we do that?"
