Chapter 579: Burleigh Fortress

Lin Yi led the members of the Star Mercenary Regiment to ride the Frost Dragon and rush to the battlefield in the north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As one of the only four A-level mercenary groups in the Tianlong Continent, the Xingchen Mercenary Group has only four members, including Lin Yi, Chenxing, Pan Lei, and Rand, and it is still the size of a G-level mercenary team. However, the completion of the two A-level missions has already made the other three A-class mercenary groups only able to catch up.

This large-scale invasion of the Orc Empire has disturbed the northern borders of the entire human country. The battlefield in the north is very large, not only the Longchen Empire bordering the Orc Empire, but also many kingdoms and principalities that are dependent on the Longchen Empire.

In the northern territory of the empire, the Longchen Empire has built one large military fortress after another, and has a standing heavy legion, light legion, cavalry legion, etc., with an army of one million. Therefore, when it was at war with the Orc Empire in the past, the Longchen Empire did not suffer much loss.

The kingdoms and principalities that are attached to the Longchen Empire do not have such a strong strength, and every time the Orc Empire invades and plunders, there will be a lot of losses. If it weren't for the military support given to them by the Longchen Empire, these kingdoms and principalities would have fallen to the orc army long ago.

This sudden large-scale invasion of the Orc Empire caught many kingdoms and principalities by surprise, and despite their fierce resistance, many kingdoms and principalities fell. Such a large-scale orc invasion has not been seen for hundreds of years. The last time it appeared was more than 400 years ago.

The A-level mission that Lin Yi accepted this time was to garrison an important military fortress in the north of the Longchen Empire, Burleigh Fortress. When they arrived at Burleigh Fortress, a war was going on.

Burleigh Fortress is a huge military fortress, the city wall is more than 200 meters high, very majestic. At this moment, this majestic military fortress is facing the onslaught of orcs.

From a distance, the black-pressed orcs could barely see their heads. Among them are lion-men, ape-men, leopard-men, minotaurs, kobolds, etc., as well as black-pressed wolf cavalry, and eaglemen in the air, etc. Looking at the number of these orcs, there are at least a million, as if they are boundless.

Orcs have always been known for their numbers, strength, and belligerence.

Burleigh Fortress had ten standing legions, including two heavy legions, seven lightly armed legions, and one cavalry legion, making it a force of 100,000 men.

It is just a military fortress with ten standing legions stationed at it, because of its important location. Behind the fort is a large plain area called the Burleigh Plain, from which the name Burleigh Fortress is derived.

Once Burleigh Fortress is lost, it means that the orc army can drive straight in, and it also means that a large part of the territory of the Longchen Empire will fall. It was precisely because of the existence of Burleigh Fortress that the orc legions did not dare to bypass it and go deep into the plains behind.

In that case, the deep orc army will fall into a state of being attacked on its back, and there is only one way to perish. Therefore, if the orcs want to invade the Longchen Empire on a large scale and plunder supplies, they must first conquer this military fortress.

The Longchen Empire naturally knew the importance of this military fortress, Burleigh Fortress faced the onslaught of millions of orcs, and the Longchen Empire immediately dispatched five heavy legions, as well as ten lightly armed legions, and requisitioned all the high-level magicians and intermediate magicians of the empire.

Fifteen legions, plus a troupe originally garrisoned, a full army of 250,000, plus the magicians who worked together, this Burleigh fortress was still in danger. This is already the most dangerous and largest battlefield in the northern battlefield of the entire human empire.

Because of this, the Longchen Empire, through the Adventurer's Guild, entrusted the A-level task, which was to garrison Burleigh Fortress until the end of this war. The reward of the entrusted task has made countless adventurers even more blushing, that is, an entire province of the Longchen Empire, as a fief, a hereditary dukedom!

Even among these adventurers who yearn for freedom and adventure, who doesn't want to get such a high title of nobility and the territory of an entire province? It is more noble than the king of the kingdom and the principality!

It is not for nothing that the Longchen Empire is so "reluctant to cut love" and give up an entire province and hereditary dukedom. Because this huge empire is really unable to spare the strength to support Burleigh Fortress.

Because the Holy Empire in the south, which is adjacent to the Longchen Empire, suddenly launched an attack on the Longchen Empire.

The two empires, which had always been friendly and married, also began a large-scale war.

The military strength of the Longchen Empire has been pinned down a lot by the Holy Empire. If it weren't for the help of the dragon clan behind it, the Longchen Empire would have been defeated and destroyed long ago in the face of the attack of the Holy Empire and the Orc Empire.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Holy Empire and the Orc Empire launched an attack on the Longchen Empire almost at the same time, obviously not by chance, but by prior agreement.

Even the era marriage between the Holy Empire and the Longchen Empire, the hereditary master of the province of Sturt, Duchess Chen Feixu, as well as the "violent death" of the former duke and the former duke, seem to be inseparable from this war that has just happened, and it looks like it has been planned for a long time.

Even with the help of the dragons and resisted the attack of the Holy Empire, the Longchen Empire still lacked military strength in the face of this two-sided attack, and Burleigh Fortress was already in danger.

On the walls of Burleigh Fortress, which is more than 200 meters high, there are teams of high-level magicians and intermediate magicians, who are constantly casting magic to attack the orcs attacking the fortress.

Chenxing's magic teacher, Charlie Augustus, has also been recruited by the empire, and is leading a team of intermediate magicians to cast magic, each of which can cause great damage to orcs, or take the lives of orcs, or make orcs lose their combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the teams of magicians who fought together in each place on the fortress, the army of the Longchen Empire alone would not be able to hold this military fortress.

Humans have the advantage of a team of magicians, but orcs also have the advantage of the Legion of Eaglemen.

The Eagle Men in the air attacked the fortress with bows and arrows, and the human archers on the fortress were completely at a disadvantage in the face of the condescending Eagle archers.

The two sides fought fiercely, and many orcs rushed up despite the casualties of magic, and immediately the soldiers of the Longchen Empire started a life-and-death struggle with them.

A vast war is being staged, Lin Yi and others came on a frost dragon, controlling the follow-up camera to take close-ups one after another, and the audience and fans were hot. (To be continued.) )
