"Chapter 68: The Battle of the Breakout: V"
If we had a fixed pattern in childhood, we would want to reconstruct and recreate that scene in adulthood in order to complete a repair of early psychological trauma. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½

Marquis Longdstead, who was busy dealing with military affairs, did not refuse Bai Feng's request to see, but the careful Bai Feng found that the patrol soldiers around the fortress headquarters had changed from the previous elite veterans of the Fire Legion to the current elite veterans of the city defense army.
Whether it is the elite veterans of the Flame Legion or the elite veterans of the City Defense Army, when they are in the garrison headquarters, they will change into a white hoplite uniform, white is the standard uniform color of the Imperial Standing Army, and the uniform color of the Royal Legion and the City Defense Army is different.
The treatment of the four royal legions with special status is naturally much better than that of ordinary standing legions; each royal legion has its own regimental flag and military uniform, and even the color of the military uniform is different from the white military uniform of the standing legion.
The Fire Legion is a member of the Royal Legion, and their uniforms are fiery red, and with the flaming uniforms and the feathers of geese fluttering in the wind on their helmets, the fully armed Flame Legion soldiers are more imposing than the soldiers of the Ordinary Legion.
As the garrison of the provinces of the Empire, the city defense army was directly subordinate to the governor's office of each province, rather than the imperial military headquarters that was in charge of all the standing armies of the empire, but the governor of each province believed that the city defense army should not be borne by the governor's office.
The Imperial Military Department's ignorance and the deliberate rejection of the Provincial Governor's Office made the city defense army an isolated army that was not loved by the father, and if it were not for the military situation of the Sunset Fortress this time, the Imperial Military Department would not have sent the city defense army to the front line to fight at all.
The reason why they were able to perform at Sunset Fortress in no way inferior to the soldiers of the Standing Legion was mainly due to the proper command of the Marquis of Rundstead.
Even if the Marquis of Rundstead treated them equally, the soldiers from the city defense army would still be unconsciously inferior in front of the soldiers of the standing army, and the soldiers of the Fire Legion who were too overly looked down on the soldiers of the city defense army.
Even when they wore uniform uniforms and took turns patrolling the headquarters, the soldiers of the Fire Legion would wear their original swords at their waists after changing into white uniforms, and the weapons used by the Royal Legion had special symbols on them, which could be found by anyone who paid attention.
When Bai Feng came to the fortress headquarters several times before, the people patrolling outside the headquarters were all soldiers of the Fire Legion, and at this time, the teams of patrol soldiers on their waists were all ordinary military long swords, and they were not soldiers of the Fire Legion at first glance.
The army of the Fourth Main Fortress consisted of three parts, the Marquis of Bernard's Fire Legion, the Marquis of Rundsteadt's City Defense Army, and the Battle Cluster of White Peaks.
"Marquis. Bai Feng, who walked into the headquarters, saw the Marquis of Rundstead who was busy in his hands, so he greeted him before asking: "How did the guards patrolling outside become the soldiers of the city defense army, is it that the Marquis of Bernard no longer sends the soldiers of the Fire Legion?"
"It's not about the Marquis of Bernard, it's my own. The Marquis of Rundstead, who had not raised his head, spoke up to explain to Bai Feng: "The Flame Legion has the least number of soldiers, and it is not appropriate to continue to let them send troops to patrol. ā
"Moreover, after several replenishments, the number of veterans of the Fire Legion is not much more than that of the City Defense Army, and many of the veterans of the City Defense Army who have been cured by Mr. Hua Mu are only stronger than the soldiers of the Fire Legion, and they can take on the heavy duty of patrolling. ā
"Well, I see. Bai Feng, who nodded in understanding, did not bother to say more on this topic, and everyone knew that no matter how high-sounding the apparent reason was, it could not change the fact that the Marquis of Bernard and the Marquis of Rundstead were becoming more and more separate.
"Bai Feng, aren't you coming to talk to me about the guards at the door today?" The marquis, who finally put down the matter in his hand, raised his head and quipped to Bai Feng with a smile: "I don't believe that you will come to me to chat with me if you have nothing to do, this is not your kid's character." ā
"Hehe, it's really the parents of the one who gave birth to me, and the marquis who knows me is also!" It is rare that the marquis who has always been serious will take the initiative to joke, Bai Feng naturally accepted it relaxedly, and then in the marquis's inquiring gaze, he returned to the right word:
"Marquis, there are more and more orc armies surrounding us, and if we continue like this, sooner or later, we will inevitably fall to the fate, and defending the fortress is not our only choice, I think we should fight hard and fight for a glimmer of hope for survival. ā
"You want to lead an army to break through?"
"Yes! We have 60,000 elite soldiers in the battle cluster, and the 39th and 40th Legions also have 20,000 elite soldiers. ā
"Eighty thousand elite soldiers are certainly a lot, but it is an army of 300,000 orcs that surround us, how sure are you that you can stand out?"
"At least fifty percent!" Bai Feng, who didn't dare to say too much, thought about it and added: "If the city defense army is willing to participate in the breakthrough together, the probability of success can be increased to at least seventy percent, after all, the 300,000 orc army outside the fortress is scattered and deployed." ā
"Seventy percent ......" Marquis of Longdstede, who frowned slightly, chewed on the success rate of Bai Feng's words, and then spoke: "Bai Feng, do you know that even if you can successfully break through, what you need to face is still an army of orcs who are chasing and intercepting. ā
"Even if we are wiped out by the orc army, it will only be our bad luck, and I would rather fight to the death with all my might than sit in the fortress and wait for ethereal reinforcements, because I believe that my fate is up to me!"
"My life is up to me?" Marquis of Longdstead, who smiled bitterly, suddenly stood up and ordered Bai Feng: "You go back immediately to prepare your breakthrough plan, and later I will let all the city defense troops merge into the battle cluster, and the Fire Legion will also be handed over to me to deal with." ā
"No!" Bai Feng, who didn't expect that he would have the full support of the Marquis of Rundstead, decisively obeyed the order.
After Bai Feng left, the Marquis of Rundstead immediately asked the guards of the headquarters to find the three generals Giannou, D'Ambrosio, and Bella; after half an hour of secret talks, the three generals with solemn faces walked straight to Bai Feng's military tent.
Marquis Bernard, who had many contradictions with Bai Feng and was separated from the Marquis of Rundsteadt, was also called to the command by the Marquis of Rundsteadt;
Either stay in the fortress and lead the Fire Legion to cover the breakthrough of the other armies, or obey Bai Feng's order to break through with the other armies, the only two options forced the Marquis of Bernard to let go of his arrogance, but his ugly face said it all.
Marquis Bernard, who was full of resentment towards Bai Feng and Marquis Rundstead in his heart, wanted to kill Bai Feng and Marquis Rundstead now, but the cruel reality made him choose to endure it for the time being.
