"Fortress?" Shen Lin said in surprise, "Why are they called fortresses?" ”

"No, not surprising at all. Sir Scar seemed proud of his introduction to the fort, "Because that's the nature of this army." Each of them was a mobile fortress, and almost no attack could penetrate their defenses. As long as there are fifty fortresses, they can defend against the attacks of thousands of people!"

Shen Lin heard a little and said, "Are you saying that fifty fortresses can defend against the attacks of thousands of humans?

Sir Scar gave Shen Lin an affirmative answer: "Little girl, although fifty fortresses are not enough to defend against the attacks of a thousand apostles, there is no doubt that they can defend against the attacks of fifty apostles. ”

Shen Lin seemed to be a little disappointed by such an answer, but it surprised me and the Tiger King: "What, what did you say? They were able to defend against the attacks of an equal number of apostles? Are you sure it's serious?"

"Of course, because I was one of them. At this point, Sir Scar looked proud. "The fortress is the best physical warrior we have chosen from all the people. Every single one of these warriors has been cultivated by us since childhood, and there are many people who have been eliminated by us at this stage, and they are the fighting race in our Denoma Empire!"

"You mean, you've been training the chosen kids since they were young, and if they're eliminated, does that mean they're dead?"

Sir Scar glanced at Shen Lin with strange eyes, and after muttering quietly, he said, "Little girl, I don't know why you think that, but this is completely impossible. How could we possibly kill our people, especially children. The children we eliminated are all back to their respective families, and we will give them some financial compensation. Although many of them were not able to join the fortress, they could still become soldiers of the empire and make their own contributions to the country. ”

I wonder if the Danmoth Empire had the same organization, would it be possible to give up those who were eliminated, that is, to end their lives? I admit that I have a different prejudice against the Danmoth Empire because I dislike the Duke, but I believe in my opinion a little. "You're saying that the Empire also has wind mages for them?"

"Yes. "As we walked past the fortresses, looking at the hills, I felt a sense of majesty. It's hard to imagine that such momentum can be generated from such a group of human beings. Although they were all extremely strong, even on a par with half of the apostles. But the armor they wear is forged from the finest materials in our empire. Its defensive capabilities are no problem when used to defend against attacks by ordinary apostles. However, the heavy weight slowed them down dramatically. That's why our Wind Mages are able to lighten their load and increase their speed to a certain extent. ”

It seems that this is the best use of people's talents. I suppose Sir Scar's intention in giving us a look at these forts should be to replenish a certain number of forts to my army. Wouldn't I have exactly five hundred and thirty places? If I had these five hundred and thirty forts, I would indeed be able to increase my combat effectiveness to a great extent. "You mean, to replenish me with five hundred and thirty forts?"

Sir Scar smiled and said, "Ma'am, it seems that you didn't understand that the fortress needs the assistance of a wind mage. Moreover, we have only 2,000 strongholds, and they will be used in the battle against the apostles. Therefore, I can only provide you with two hundred and twenty forts, including twenty non-commissioned officers with extensive combat experience. There are also ten excellent wind mages, who will fully assist the two hundred and twenty fortresses to make them use their best combat power. ”

Then, with the addition of magicians, there are two hundred and thirty fortresses in total. Although the number is not too many, it is enough to deal with small-scale conflicts. It's just that how should we arrange the remaining 300 places?

Lord Scar added, "But the fortresses have a great flaw, and that is that they are not very good at attacking relative to defense. It can even be said that they do not have much attack power. So, in general, we will equip the fort with a certain number of pikemen and ranged troops, but we will not use light infantry. This time, we will also have two hundred pikemen for you, and fifty archers and crossbowmen. ”

I put together the classes that Sir Scar has offered me, and I realized that we currently have a hundred heavily armored knights, which is the minimum we can maintain at this time. If there are more of them, they will not play a role in the next war, but if they are small, they can only be used to send them to death. In addition, with the addition of the ten Wind Mages added by Sir Scar this time, we have thirty Mages. We also have two hundred and twenty strongholders, and if Sir Scar is right, they are the backbone of our next place, and together with two hundred pikemen, I believe they will surprise us. And the rest are archers and crossbowmen, as well as the dozens of rangers.

My assumption is that once we have come into contact with a small apostolic army, the first thing we have to do is to have the two hundred and twenty fortresses under the command of their captain withstand the apostolic charge. Sir Scar had just told me that as long as a certain number of fortresses formed a defensive formation, it would be impossible for humans to break through their defenses without paying a tenfold or even dozens of times the cost. And if you add a support class to fight back, you will have to pay more to attack them. That's why they are called "fortresses". Aren't they just a moving fortress?

By the time we had gathered all our troops overnight, it was the next morning. Although many of the soldiers were a little dissatisfied with our arrangement, especially after the light infantry that had been the basis of the army was completely abandoned by us, they had the greatest resentment. However, there is no way around it. We weren't too numerous, and even if they formed a defensive formation, they wouldn't be able to defend against a comparable number of apostles, but the fortress was able to do it.

Sir Scar was the most brilliant commander and military strategist, I am very sure of that. He was quick to appease the light infantry at minimal cost, promising to raise each of them by one rank, from the previous rank of ordinary soldier to the captain of a squad of five to ten men. This will not only soothe their emotions, but also allow them to make full use of their experience to lead those soldiers who have little experience in warfare. You know, most of the experienced soldiers of the Denomah Empire have been wiped out in the last battle. And the rest are basically inexperienced recruits who have just been recruited.

After lunch, we reopened our distance from Honjin. It's not because we want to die, it's because we have to. After all, the closer you get to the apostle's sphere of influence, the more dangerous it becomes. So we decided to go with the old approach, and we would always be about two kilometers away from our camp until we came into contact with the apostles head-on. And such a distance is not too long, and the army of this formation only needs half an hour at the latest to arrive smoothly and in time.

This time, I let Tiger King and Shen Lin stay by my side, and the two of them are my most powerful assistants. All along, they have been, there is no doubt about it. As for Sir Scar, he told me not to worry. Because His Majesty the Emperor, while sending such a number of fortresses, also brought several excellent assistants to help him. In other words, this also shows that in fact, the supreme commander of this expeditionary force has actually been thoroughly arranged.

Shen Lin was indignant for me, while the Tiger King just smiled indifferently at me. It would be impossible to say that I don't care about this. It seems that I'm still an undead after all, not a human yet, so Barrier I decided to let Sir Scar send assistants. He told me this when we were about to leave. I didn't think he wanted me to affect my emotions too much. But how could I not be affected?

"Actually, His Majesty means that we will assist you together. Sir Scar said to me, "I think you understand, too. It's just that on this battlefield, as you said, we have relatively much more combat experience. That's why His Majesty the Emperor made such an arrangement. ”

"I understand, okay, here we go. ”

What else can I say? though I admit that Barrier I had made the right decision, for he knew that something would go wrong if such an important battle ended up in command of an undead who didn't know how to fight a legion. Therefore, he made the most correct choice, which was to hand over the military power to Sir Scar, and brought him a few of his best assistants. And I am still the nominal Supreme Commander. Isn't that the best of both worlds?

Along the way, I didn't speak again. Shen Lin could only shake his head helplessly, but the Tiger King persuaded him: "Madam, in fact, if you think about it, isn't this exactly what you want? You are not suitable for commanding the corps to fight, and the emperor also thought of this, although he thought about it more. Moreover, he knew that we were lacking, so he dispatched his most elite bastions to supplement our melee forces. At least we don't have to worry about our defenses being breached so easily. I have to say that Barrier I is really a very far-sighted person, and everything we encounter now, in fact, Barrier I has already thought of it. ”

Whether or not things are what the Tiger King thinks, I don't understand, and I don't care. Maybe I don't understand all the things about rights, maybe I don't want to touch them. Luckily, I have the Tiger King on my side to advise me, who knows how long this old ghost has lived, anyway, at least in the same era as Shen Lin. And Shen Lin came here through Wei Lun's magic array, but what about the Tiger King, he came to the present step by step. Maybe only the Tiger King knows what he has experienced for this long time, and the long-term experience has made the Tiger King not only become smarter and smarter, but also become more and more good at strategy, if compared to strategy alone, the average human is basically not the opponent of the Tiger King. And this time, the decision made by Barrier I made the Tiger King sincerely admired, so it can only show that Barrier I is an excellent emperor.

"What do we do next?"

"It's simple. Lone's suggestion was to keep a two-kilometre distance from them, as we had told Sir Scar before, so that it would be easier to take care of them. ”

I nodded, and that's the only way to do it for now. After all, this is the only way we can be safe. Although he was still a little indignant in his heart, he thought about it after all, he was just a foreigner, and he was still an undead who was very hated in the human world. The barrier I didn't directly deprive me of my identity and rights, and they already respected me very much, what more could I ask for?

Forget it, let's hope that he can lead his country to resist for a longer time, only in this way can we have the possibility to wait for reinforcements. Although I don't know where else there are reinforcements in this human world, I do believe that the two of them, Viren and Qi Tianci, will definitely bring hope to this human world. Aren't they all very special human beings, are they? And it seems like I'm going to end my journey here. If the Dnomah Empire can hold on, then I will always be there. But if the Denoma Empire can't guard the southwestern gate of the world, then even if we retreat further south, we will face the same ending, then it won't make any sense, right?

"Tiger, I still like this country. At least it's very different from the Danmoth Empire. I've decided that we'll stay here and help Barrier I keep these apostles in here, so that we can buy some time for our counteroffensive. ”
