Chapter 4: The Blood Lion of the Side

Now the area where Su Xiao is located is the front line of the war, and Bubuwang is in the Holy Dragon City, which is the capital of the Dragon Teng Empire.

After contacting, Su Xiao learned that the team looking for the core of the world had a total of fifty people, all of whom were agile contractors and belonged to the service.

The task of the waiting team is to find the core of the world and bring that thing to the designated location, as for the follow-up guard work, it is up to Su Xiao or the various adventure groups.

However, before that, it is necessary to ensure that the situation on the front line of the war between the empire and the tribe is stable, once the front line is breached, then there is no need to look for the core of the world, most of the contractors will die under the tribal army, and even if they are lucky enough not to die, they will be forcibly executed due to mission failure.

Su Xiao marched with the imperial army, and the soldiers near him were silent, the cruelty of the cold weapon war could be imagined, but these soldiers had no fear, only numbness on their faces, it was a kind of numbness of life and death.

To become an imperial soldier, there is a folk saying that a soldier is a noble lord, a tiger beast, and a dog.

The aristocratic lord is a soldier who drinks and prostitutes after getting his salary, and lives a very chic life, just like a noble lord.

Tiger beast is the name of the tiger by the civilians, and the civilians are afraid of the soldiers, as if they are afraid of the tiger, so the soldiers are described as tiger beasts.

As for dogs, at the outbreak of war, the lives of soldiers were not worth as much as a dog. Live today, there is no tomorrow.

Because it was marching on the plains, more than 100,000 people marched to form several squares, and the wild beasts fled in shock, and the ground trembled lightly.

Half an hour after the army marched, Su Xiao vaguely saw a black 'mountain range' appear in front of him, and the mountain range cut across the plain, separating the empire from the tribe, which was extremely spectacular.

When he got closer, Su Xiao found that this was a mountain range, which was a war defense line, similar to the Great Wall in the real world.

Seeing this war line of defense, Su Xiao secretly cursed in his heart, and the war channel of the reincarnation paradise also fried the pot.

Su Xiao was very puzzled, the empire side has such a geographical advantage, how did the tribe side break through this line of defense? And take here.

Ahead is the Black Earth Fortress. The entire fortress divides the Black Soil Plain into two sections, and if you look at it from above, the Black Soil Fortress looks like a meandering black river dividing the Black Soil Plain.

The Black Earth Fortress is 176 kilometers long, the whole body is made of obsidian, and the entire fortress is blessed with 6,782 magic imprints, which is stronger than metal, even the 'Storm Knight' battering ram made by the dwarves cannot break through the Black Earth Fortress, the Black Earth Fortress separates the empire from the tribe's territory, the fortress is the imperial territory, and the outside of the fortress is the tribe's territory.

The highest position of the black soil fortress is 60 meters high, the average height is about 40 meters, standing under the fortress, this is a heavenly wall, has been standing here for 3,600 years, renovated no less than 30 times, an average of 100 years to renovate.

"This thing...... Can it really be attacked? ”

A contractor who was closer to Su Xiao looked up at the Black Earth Fortress, and there were thousands of grass and mud horses jumping past in his heart.

Not to mention the reaction of the contractors, Marquis Mark in the rear of the army is also looking up at the Black Earth Fortress, he has not been here for almost 20 years.

"Lord Marquis, this is the number of soldiers and the storage of military rations and weapons, the weapons promised by the Moon Elf Clan have not been delivered for a long time, and now there are many soldiers whose weapon blades are seriously broken, and there is not much food, and the water source is also ......"

The deputy commander of the Predator knelt on one knee in front of Marquis Mark, who was riding on his horse.

"Got it."

Marquis Marc was a little impatient, this was a middle-aged and elderly man with white curly hair, a mustache at the chin, and a little fat body, he was wearing a black coat with gold threads mixed with gold thread at the collar and cuffs of the coat.

"But ......"

Deputy Legion Commander Carlos looked at Marquis Mark in surprise, Carlos was a burly middle-aged man, he was wearing blood-colored armor, and the bloody aura on his body was not even weaker than Su Xiao.

"Carlos, you just need to tell me if you can retake the Black Earth Fortress before sunset."

Marquis Mark rode on his horse, looking at the deputy commander Carlos with a somewhat complicated gaze, he didn't like this person, he would usually give the other party the errand with little oil and water, such as the hard work of guarding the side plug, although he didn't like the other party very much, but he needed this person now.

"What... What the. ”

Carlos was stunned, and he suspected he had misheard.

"Lord Marquis asks you if you can recapture the Black Earth Fortress before dark,"

The Imperial official next to Marquis Mark spoke, although his official rank was lower than Carlos, but he looked at Carlos with some disdain, because Carlos was the son of a nobleman and a prostitute.

"Lord Marquis, this seems to be ...... Unlikely. ”

Carlos lowered his head, he now wanted to drag down the dead fat man who was riding on a horse three meters away, and stomp on the face of this waste who relied on the hereditary system to inherit the position of marquis, so that the other party could take a closer look at what level of war fortifications the Black Earth Fortress was.

Don't say a day, even if Carlos is given a week, he doesn't dare to say that he can recapture the Black Earth Fortress, the tribe captured here, and nearly 120,000 orcs + dwarves + goblins + trolls died, and they fought for half a month, and in the end, the corpses were piled up to the level of the Black Earth Fortress, and the tribe stepped on the corpses to attack it.

"If the war goes well, it will take about ten days to recapture the Black Earth Fortress."

Carlos is actually a bit exaggerated, even if it goes well, it would be good to be able to recapture the fortress in half a month, which is still based on the fact that the empire will continue to send additional troops to the Black Earth Plain and recapture the fortress with the same pile of corpses.

"Ten days, that's too long."

Marquis Marc was dissatisfied.

"Give you a week, I won't be able to come here to see you, now I have become the laughing stock of the Holy Dragon City, if you can't do it, I'll find someone who can do it to replace you."

"Yes."

Carlos was full of steel teeth and clicked, he knew in his heart that no matter what, he couldn't be replaced, never, it had nothing to do with status or selfish desires, once he lost the position of deputy commander of the Iron Blood Legion, the Black Earth Fortress would be over, he had been guarding the town for twenty years, at that time he was just a squad leader, he dedicated his life to here, no one knew the Black Earth Fortress better than him, and there were countless great achievements, and people called him the Sidehorn Blood Lion.

"Lord Marquis, I have a request."

After Carlos said this, he took a deep breath, and the deputy commander, who didn't know how many enemies he had killed, was actually a little hesitant.

"Say."

Marquis Mark had already guessed what Carlos was going to say, nothing more than a request for an additional knighthood.

"The war in the Black Soil Plains requires more troops."

"Oh?" Marquis Mark was a little surprised, it was different from what he had imagined, he touched the beard on his chin and said, "How much is needed." ”

"At least two hundred thousand."

Carlos' fists clenched, he was ready to retake the fortress with his human life.

"No way, the other defense lines of the empire also need troops, a maximum of fifty thousand."

Hearing Marquis Mark's words, Carlos raised his head with a snort, and the armor on his body collided, and Marquis Mark was shocked by his momentum.

"Carlos, what do you want to do!"

Marquis Mark let out a fierce roar, and hundreds of his own soldiers around him drew their long swords at their waists and surrounded Carlos.
