Chapter 552: Pompeii
Another thing that surprised Renault was that the situation faced by Simo Bether could not be said to be optimistic, but when King Thyron summoned them before, King Thoron was still the same, and he didn't seem to be disturbed by the situation that Simon Betser was facing in front of him, which also had to be convinced, the so-called king's temperament is like this, no wonder everything is still in order in Fog City.

After fully understanding the situation on the front line, Renault knew that the war could not be delayed, and he was rushing to the destination non-stop. And they are going to the westerly front, and their base is in the province of Sorin, next to the province of Noxa, and the specific location is Pompeii, at the intersection of the two provinces, and there will be specific arrangements there.
In the process of hurrying, Renaud also observed what the situation is like in the north of West Mobeser at this moment, the closer to the battle line, the more refugees, dragging their families and mouths, carts and cattle migrating southward, these are probably the residents who escaped from the occupied provinces, the orcs have never been a good race, and the various atrocities carried out by the orcs in the occupied areas have spread throughout the empire, as long as they can stay away from those vicious orcs, these civilians do not hesitate to abandon their homeland and leave their homeland.
However, even the territory of the West Ink Betser Empire can not be completely peaceful, the West Ink Betser Empire is vast, although it is under the name of the West Ink Betser Empire, but it is not under the control of the West Ink Betser Empire, such as some fierce beasts infested hills and forests, some special races of settlements, and ill-intentioned adventurers, etc., these refugees have traveled thousands of miles, and I don't know how many people died on the way, although the West Ink Betser Empire has relevant measures to protect the refugees, but it is impossible to fully take care of everyone.
Seeing these haggard and miserable refugees, Renault can't help but feel pity, but there is nothing he can do, in this world where force is supreme, strength is an extremely important measure, only with enough strength, you can be calm in the face of various emergencies, protect what you like.
In the end, Renault and the others arrived at Pompeito City on the twelfth day, a few days earlier than expected, which is also why they have freed up the time to eat and sleep and hurry, and even simply rested in the car, even the three good mounts are almost exhausted, and it is estimated that they will have to recuperate for a few days.
The city of Pompeito was originally a small city, such a small city is innumerable, and there is nothing special about it, it was not known at all in the past, but now as one of the strategic fortresses, it has become a bit famous, and it has become a nail to prevent the orcs from going south. Pompeito City is located in a hilly area, the surrounding mountains are not high, but it is not easy to walk, and Pompeito City is just stuck on the main road, within a radius of dozens of kilometers, this is the most convenient passage, naturally it is taken care of by the orcs.
The weather turned cooler, and the further north they went, the drier and colder it became, but fortunately, the three of them were prepared, put on thick clothes, and hurried along the way.
It can be seen that this road used to be a key road, it is estimated that in the past it was a road that many caravans must pass through, the road is neat and wide, in order to facilitate many places simply open the mountain and build the road, the peaks on both sides are cut off and leveled, and the inside of the mountain is completely exposed to the air, which seems to be a little abrupt.
Most of the surrounding peaks are stone mountains, and there are a lot of plants growing tenaciously on the stone mountains, but when autumn and winter come, most of these plants are withered and yellow, and the branches are criss-crossed between the mountains and rocks, and the desolation is as if crying about the cruelty of war.
"It's a pity that such good fields have been abandoned, and these villages are no longer inhabited?" An Luoluo poked his head out of the car window and sighed, from time to time he could see some fields on both sides, most of which were planted with some drought-tolerant and drought-tolerant plants, although they were not as large as the crops in the south were connected and endless, but they were distributed in small patches, but they were also the crops that the farmers here relied on for their survival, but now these hard-earned lands have been abandoned, and most of the food planted has either died without anyone to take care of them, or has been plundered, and there is basically no good land left. There are naturally many villages in the world, but it is not difficult to see that many villages have been destroyed, or even burned to the ground, which is even more shocking in desolation.
"It seems that those rumors are true, the orcs are brutal, and the villages around here are probably all plundered, and many of those villagers are probably killed by the orcs. Renault also sighed and said.
"These orcs are really hateful, obviously the area of the orc empire is not small, but they think about burning, killing and looting all day long, you say, those countries and races near the orc empire, which one has not been plundered by the orcs? Ngawang also said indignantly.
An Luoluo shook his ears and said: "Hey, Lao Hei, you have to pay attention to what you say, I am also an orc, I admit that some orcs are indeed more predatory, but you can't beat the orcs to death with a stick just because of this, our cat people have always loved peace, only those headless and brainless old men like violence and plunder." β
Ah Wang nodded and said: "If the orcs are like you, it is estimated that there will be no such thing as today, but it is not all bad, how can you prove yourself without such a thing, the so-called good man should make meritorious contributions, isn't this a good time to make meritorious contributions." β
"It's okay to think about making achievements, hey, it's just that the orcs are extremely powerful, I'm afraid it's not easy to bargain in their hands, just look at the defeat of the defenders of the Simmebeth frontier. Renault shook his head.
Ngawang was quite interested in mentioning orcs, although he had learned a lot of information about orcs these days, he couldn't help but ask An Luoluo: "Luoluo, the orc empire's combat power is indeed not weak, but the races are really diverse, and there are all kinds of chaotic races, so it still forms a big empire, I am curious about how your various races get along." β
"You also know that our single orc race, such as our cat people, is very small in number compared to many races, at first many orcs united together just to protect themselves and defend against foreign enemies, and then gathered together, and slowly formed a country, itself Xu Orc race is looked down upon by foreign races, so although the orc race is different at first, but also believe in love, each race has its own role, that is, it slowly stabilized. And the orcs have always been the strong, and now the orc empire is mainly in the hands of several races with strong combat power, they are mainly responsible for fighting, and the races with slightly weaker combat power are responsible for farming, weaving, etc., like our cat people are mainly in charge of some rivers, fishing or raising fish. "In any case, Anlolo is an orc, and he was once a member of the orc empire, so he can be quite right.
After a pause, Anlolo continued: "Of course, strength and weakness are relative, even if we cat people are stronger than many ordinary humans, it is true that the civilization of orcs is backward, and it is also called the beast and the like by many races, especially humans, but this is also our advantage, at least as you know, the combat power of orcs is first-class. β
"Luo Luo, you're an orc, wouldn't it be nice for you to fight orcs with us. Renault said teasingly to Alolo.
An Luoluo shrugged indifferently and said: " What's the matter, there are a lot of orcs working hard in the West Ink Betser camp now, and West Ink Betser has also hired many orc mercenary groups to join the war, and there is no shortage of humans in the orc camp, especially under the Wilder family, there are not many human armies, this has nothing to do with the race, it is really a camp problem, besides, the orc empire is no longer the orc empire it used to be, the same orcs, but the strong bullying the weak race, the various races are intriguing for the sake of interests, and the contradictions between the various races in the orc empire are no worse than those of orcs and humans, at least when I leftγ β
Renault looked at An Luoluo strangely and said: "Luoluo, how do I think you have seen it very thoroughly today, and you have a clear eye when you speak, I can't see it, in fact, you are quite capable and cultural." β
An Luoluo raised his head proudly: "Just kidding, this girl was raised according to the standards of the eldest lady when she was a child, and I am also one of the few well-informed girls in our area, but I ...... later" An Luoluo said and couldn't help but sigh.
Ngawang patted An Luoluo's shoulder and said: "The past is over, let it go now, although you don't say it, but I still know that you are being bullied, and when we settle down a little, we will enter the orc empire and avenge you." "Everyone knows that An Luoluo had to enter the underworld after encountering some failures, such a young girl, but was forced to enter the mortal place to make a living, Anluoluo's experience is not simple, but it is Anluoluo's sadness, and Anluoluo is not easy to ask if he doesn't mention others.
"Okay, don't talk about it, now we are also the regular army of Symebaess, and we should also show something, there is Pompeii City in front, let's prepare, after the handover, we can be regarded as having a vote of men." Renault said, really came here Renault felt very happy, Awang said that the achievements are exactly what he thought, just condensing the white family is illustrious, then he should also prove to himself, this battlefield is undoubtedly a good stage.
Renault didn't know what the original Pompeito City looked like, but now Pompeito City can be called a strong fortress, the city walls are obviously much taller, the walls are tall and strong, there are many arrow tower sentry posts on them, a team of patrolling sergeants walked past the city, and you can see some crossbow arrows, and even a few magic cannons, which is really rare, this kind of small city is generally not equipped with magic cannons.
In front of the gray and white city wall is a newly dug moat, more than ten meters wide, it seems that it has not been dug for a long time, the soil color is still new, it used to be peaceful and prosperous, this small city was not a strategic city, there is no moat is not strange, now it is fighting, it is built in a hurry, more or less it can still play some role. Even if the fighting spirit magic is rampant, it is impossible for every soldier to be strong, and it is still possible to deal with ordinary soldiers.
It seems that the war is really tense, the city gate is still closed in broad daylight, and the carriage was stopped before it got close, but with the documents and talismans given by the six princes, they were allowed to go all the way, and this place is naturally no exception, after a little communication, the sergeant inside opened the door and let them in.
Pompeio is not a small fortress, but also the headquarters of the 76th Wing, the 6921 Brigade is subordinate to the 76th Wing, Renault and their top bosses are here, but Renault and a few people are in a hurry, they don't know who the top boss is, what they look like, and they don't even know much about the situation of the 76th Wing, such as how many people and horses, how about the equipment, which military division it belongs to, etc., etc., all of them don't know, and these can only be understood at the time of handover.
Entering the city, you can see that the small city was originally neat, the streets are paved with bricks and stones, and there are many buildings on both sides, and it is not difficult to see that before the outbreak of the war, this Pompeito city was also a prosperous place. After a little look, it can really be described as a full atmosphere of war, you can see heavily armed sergeants everywhere, all of them look vigilant and majestic, rarely playful and noisy, at first glance, the military discipline of the 76th Wing should be very good.
The one who led them was a young soldier of about twenty years old, dark and strong, only a little shy, and even more shy when he saw An Luoluo, who seemed to be a rookie, but not only him, but many of the soldiers around him looked quite young, and they all looked like they had not been in the war for a long time.
After riding in the carriage for many days, Renault and they finally arrived at their destination, naturally they would not sit in the carriage, and getting off the car and walking around can be regarded as moving muscles and bones, but this time when they got off the car, An Luo Luo Ke looked at those little soldiers straightly, although there are really many heroic women in the world, but there are mostly men in the military camp, and there is such a peerless beauty among a bunch of stinky men, and it is normal to have this effect.
