After coming out of the headquarters of the Marquis of Rundstead, Bai Feng saw the generals waiting for him outside the headquarters, because today's fortress defense is undertaken by the battle cluster, so Bai Feng first ordered the generals:

"General Totila and General Giskal, the two of you will later return and lead the men of the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Legions to the fortress, and the frontal defense of the fortress will be undertaken by the armies of your two generals. ”

"No!"

"Borg, Upadama, you lead the reserve force and take charge of defending the left flank of the fortress. ”

"No!"

"General Ranocchia, you lead the Predator Guard to defend the right flank of the fortress. ”

"No!"

"General López, Athos, Hans, Assasis, the four of you lead the assault wing and the special operations wing to defend the rear of the fortress. ”

"No!"

"If you are attacked by the Orc army, then you only need to defend to the death, and within ten minutes, I will personally lead at least 8,000 reinforcements to reinforce you, and after the battle, I will give priority to replenishing the troops who have made meritorious contributions!"

"Swear to live and die with the fortress!" the generals shouted in unison, causing the soldiers of the Fire Legion on both sides to look sideways.

In fact, when Bai Feng gave orders, his attitude towards the generals was still intimate; for Totila, Ranocchia and others who did not formally owe allegiance to him, he added the word general to his titles, and such as Borg and Hans called them by their names.

Totila is the confidant general of the Four Princes, Giscard is the confidant general of the Eighth Prince, and it is impossible for the two of them to abandon the two princes and join Bai Feng, and as for Ranocchia and López, their loyalty has always belonged only to the Marquis of Rundstead.

The Marquis of Rundstead was an iron-blooded count who was worshiped as a god by countless civilian soldiers before he went to the Sunset Fortress, and the personal guard that the first emperor gave him was officially called the Iron Guard, and Ranocchia and others were the Iron and Blood Five Tiger Generals, and their loyalty to the marquis can be seen from this.

Bai Feng never knew how close the relationship between the Bai family and the Marquis of Longdstead was, but this did not affect his trust in the Marquis of Longdstead;

However, trust is trust, and vassal relationship is vassal, and the two cannot be confused, and it is crucial that Hans and Borg are loyal subordinates of Bai Feng, and Ranocchia and López are reliable allies of Bai Feng.

After returning to the barracks, Bai Feng did not pay too much attention to the soldiers of the various armies who were packing up their weapons and equipment and were about to climb the fortress and city walls, but came to the camp of Aetius's personal guards, which was full of wounded soldiers from the city defense army and battle clusters.

The more than 7,000 wounded soldiers in the battle cluster, plus the nearly 30,000 wounded soldiers of the city defense army, the total number of wounded soldiers in the camp of the pro-soldier guard army was as high as 37,000, and the Flame Legion also had about 8,000 wounded soldiers, but Bai Feng had made it clear at the military meeting that he refused to treat them.

Although Bai Feng's original intention was only to deliberately provoke Marquis Bernard, the arrogant and small-bellied Marquis Bernard had no intention of laughing it off, so the wounded soldiers of the Fire Legion who were wailing in pain in the barracks were left behind by their legion commander.

The Fourth Main Fort can be one of the four main fortresses of Sunset Fortress, and its internal area is larger than a small city, otherwise how can it accommodate nearly 200,000 troops, and even so, the distance between the military camps is not too far.

In fact, the barracks of the Pro-Guards were less than 500 meters away from the barracks of the Agni Legion, and Hua Mu, who was treating the wounded soldiers in the Pro-Guard camp, could clearly hear the wails in the barracks next door, but so what?

The war doctor Hua Mu, he is a system-approved retinue of the governor, and he must be a wounded soldier under Bai Feng's command to be quickly healed by him, otherwise, even if he has the heart to help the wounded soldiers of the Fire Legion alleviate the pain, it will not be possible.

According to Hua Mu's healing speed, it will take 10 days to half a month for the 37,000 wounded soldiers in the barracks to recover, which means that about 3,000 of these wounded soldiers can recover their combat effectiveness every day and be reintegrated into the front-line combat units.

Some of the wounded soldiers from the units under the battle cluster will return to the original unit directly after they have healed, and some of the wounded soldiers from the city defense army will be left by Bai Feng to replenish the units under the battle cluster, and the other part will be sent back to the city defense army to enhance the strength of the city defense army.

Before there were no greater casualties among the troops in the battle cluster, the four armies, including the Iron Guard, the Special Operations Wing, the Assault Wing, and the Reserve Force, were missing a total of 12,000 soldiers, and this figure was the number of wounded soldiers that Bai Feng wanted to leave behind in the city defense army.

If in the next battle, the subordinate units of the battle cluster have casualties of varying degrees, then Bai Feng may leave more wounded soldiers of the city defense army to replenish the battle cluster, because people are selfish, and Bai Feng is no exception.

Among Aetius's personal guards, there are five thousand elite veterans who have recovered from their wounds, and these five thousand veterans are the reserve force that will only be used at the last moment in Bai Feng's hands, and Bai Feng will not take out these five thousand veterans until the point of last resort.

In the whole afternoon, the orc army surrounding the fourth main fortress increased from 70,000 to 150,000, but to the puzzlement of all the generals in the fortress, the overwhelmingly superior orc army did not attack the fourth main fortress while the iron was hot.

This disappointed the Marquis of Bernard, who had originally planned to see the jokes of Bai Feng and the battle cluster, because everyone knew that it was impossible for the orc army with extremely serious night blindness to launch an attack at night, so today's all-out attack of the orc army ended here.

Early the next morning, the worried Marquis Bernard commanded his Legion of Fire soldiers to ascend the fortress and the city walls, and the battle was followed by the day of the Legion of Fire on the orders of the Marquis of Rundstead.

Bai Feng, who didn't have the heart to worry about the Flame Legion, replenished the 2,000 wounded soldiers of the assault wing and the 1,000 wounded soldiers of the city defense army that Hua Mu had given priority to healing to the assault wing of López and Athos after the troops of the battle cluster withdrew to the barracks.

With a total strength of 60,000 troops, the city defense army was the strongest of the three armies of the fourth main fortress in terms of numbers, and as long as they were not attacked by the orc army, Bai Feng could prioritize the wounded soldiers to replenish the battle cluster with fewer total troops to restore his own strength.

Bai Feng, who was trapped in the fourth main fortress, did not know that the defenders of Sunset Fortress, who were almost in a desperate situation, could no longer get a single reinforcement from the rear of the empire, because the Celestial Dragon Empire, which seemed to be powerful a few days ago, had reached the point of exhaustion!

The appearance of more than 500,000 orc armies out of thin air caused the two provinces in the eastern region of the Celestial Dragon Empire to fall in an instant; the fierce attack of the steppe tribes finally broke through the northern defense line of the Celestial Dragon Empire, which was undermanpowered; at this time, the huge empire was full of smoke and chaos!

What's even more deadly is that the Deman Kingdom in the northwest of the empire and the White Horse Kingdom in the southwest are all ready to move, and even the most confident imperial nobles dare not guarantee that they will wake up one morning and receive a declaration of war from the Deman Kingdom and the White Horse Kingdom!
