Chapter 233: The City of Mantara
The city of Mantara, located tens of thousands of kilometers from the town of Zeka.
However, the Boss-level Green Lion King was extremely fast, and Baal occasionally used his supernatural ability to hurry, and by the afternoon of the next day, he had already crossed the quicksand road and entered the territory of Saud.
These days, although there have been no major battles between the Empire and the Saudis, there have been many small-scale conflicts, and he has encountered many small groups of human remnants along the way, all of which he has taken care of.
At dusk, he appeared not far from the south gate of the city of Mantara.
Pedal Pedal ....
Putting away the Leo King, Bar strode towards the city gate.
"Hurry up."
"Give me a little bit of money." The sound of crackling whips and human screams was heard.
Look ahead.
I saw that the walls of the city were full of potholes and cracks.
On the east side, a large section of the city had collapsed, and some ragged humans, men, women, and children, were repairing the city walls under the watchful eye of some lion soldiers and human professionals with whips.
Most of these humans are ordinary civilians, but there are also some low-ranking professionals. It seems that they were all prisoners captured by the Second Army after the fall of the city of Mantara. As for those human professionals, they should be the Saudians who have taken refuge in the Orc Empire.
Looked at it twice.
Barr continued towards the city gates.
At this time, the city gate was closed, and there were many lion soldiers on both sides to guard it. Seeing Barr walking towards this side, a strong lion man in black armor immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "This is the garrison of the Second Legion of the Empire, who are you!" ”
The strong lion man looked ahead, not recognizing Baal's race for a moment. But he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, there was only one person on the other side, and no matter how you looked at it, Baal had nothing to do with humans.
"Lord of Sea Blue Town, Baal, I came to Mantele City after receiving an urgent summoning order from the Minotaur Legion." Barr laughed.
"Lord? And what about the soldiers you brought? The strong man of the lion man was skeptical.
"I was ordered to bring soldiers." Baal took out his lord token and looked at the boss-level lion in front of him, "This is my lord token." ”
"Lord without soldiers, this is here to cause trouble." The strong lion man muttered. However, after all, Baal took out the lord token, and he didn't dare to slack off, and even took out a strange magic machine from his backpack.
Brush.
A wave of light shone on the token in Baal's hand, and dense information appeared in front of the lionman's eyes.
"Lord of Sea Blue Town, Bloodline Awakener..."The strong lion man looked at the bottom of the message and couldn't help but curse, "Damn the Minotaur Legion!" There is no time limit on the summoning order, and there is no requirement for the number of troops to be brought. ”
Although I feel unhappy in my heart.
But after all, Baal is the lord of the empire and the mayor of a third-level town, which is not something he can offend. The strong lion man hesitated for a moment, then bowed and saluted, "Your Excellency, the headquarters of the special support force is in the east of the city, and I will arrange for soldiers to take you there." ”
"Hmm." Barr nodded.
"Albenny." The strong lion man turned his head and shouted.
On the right side of the city gate, a young elite lion soldier hurriedly ran over. The lion man said, "This is the Lord of the Baal of the Minotaur clan, and you are responsible for leading the Lord to the special support force station in the east of the city. ”
"Yes!" The young lion gave a military salute, looked at Barr and said respectfully, "My lord, please come with me." ”
"Hmm."
Barr nodded and followed.
"Open the gates!" The lion man turned his head and shouted.
Rumble...
The huge gates slowly opened to the sides.
Baal and the young lion soldier soon vanished, and the gates were closed.
......
As a second-tier city, Mantara City is not a small area. Soon after Barr entered the city with the lion soldiers, he rode to the eastern part of the city in a large beast cart of the Second Legion.
After a while, the beast cart stopped.
"Your Excellency, please get out of the car, we have arrived, this is the support force station." Albeni turned and shouted into the car, then jumped out of the cart.
Trample.
Barr got out of the car and looked at the huge buildings in front of him, "Oh, this is where the support troops are stationed?" ”
It is on the north side of the east-west street.
Near the East Gate, there is a building that covers several kilometers. Surrounded by thick walls more than 20 meters high, it looks like a city within a city. At the top of the city walls, groups of lion men were patrolling, and the entrance was guarded by some soldiers.
The walls look new, and they look like they've just been built.
The two walked.
"It was originally a training ground for Saudi soldiers, but after the capture of Mantara, the legion arranged for people to rebuild it as a support station." "Now most of the lords of the various clans have arrived, but..."
"Where's the Minotaur?" Barr asked.
"Well, didn't you hear any wind?" Abenni's expression was a little unnatural, "Except for the adults, so far, no lord of the Minotaur clan has arrived. ”
"Well, not a single one." Baal was also slightly surprised, he had expected that after receiving this summoning order from the legion, there should be many lords in the clan who would not come here.
After all.
War kills, especially on a large scale.
The cost of recruiting and maintaining armies is not small. Moreover, this border war is dominated by the lion and tiger clans, and even if the lords of the other clans join it, I am afraid they will not be able to make any benefits. But he didn't expect that none of the many lords in the clan came.
"Your Excellency, please come here."
"Hmm."
Barr walked with Albenny towards the gate of the station.
"This is where the support forces are stationed, stop!" Seeing the two approaching, the captain of the lion guard with a war bow at the door also stepped forward. Although Ebenny was a soldier of the Second Legion, and they all knew each other, the rules of the army had to be strictly followed. The barracks are important, and no matter who comes, even if the corps commander comes, he will be interrogated.
"This is Lord Bal of the Minotaurs." Albeni stepped forward.
Brush.
Baal is also showing the lord token.
"Your Excellency."
"Your Excellency."
When several guards at the door saw the token, they all hurriedly saluted.
"Minotaur Lord? How can it be alone. The captain of the guard looked at the token, and then looked behind Baal, although he was puzzled, he still saluted continuously: "My lord, please go to the reception office and wait first, General Denos, who is responsible for receiving the lords of various places, is now at the command post, I will send someone to inform him immediately." ”
Looks like Albenny is familiar with this place.
After the captain of the guard finished speaking, he also took a step forward, looked sideways at Barr and said, "My lord, please come with me." ”
"Okay."
Barr nodded.
When the two men entered the station, they turned to the right and followed the rock-paved road into a tall hall on the far right, and Abney took his leave.
Barr found a chair and sat down
The interior of the hall is much larger than it looks from the outside, and it seems that it is also made of space technology.
The Imperial Legion, including some lords' troops, not only has ordinary orc soldiers, but also quite a few soldiers of rare races. The body size is also very different, such as the ice giant, which is more than ten meters high. Therefore, this hall is more than 100 meters high, and some tables and chairs inside are also specially designed for rare races, which is extremely huge.
Soon.
Some waiters served tea and the like, and Barr also drank the tea and waited quietly.
I waited a long time.
I saw a middle-aged lion man in a blue robe, who walked in from the outside with an expressionless face, looked at Barr who was sitting on the side and drinking tea leisurely, and said stiffly, "You are Barr of the Minotaur clan, and you dare to come alone, you have some guts." ”
"Whether you have the guts or not, you don't say it with your mouth." Barr was also unceremonious.
Take a look.
The lionman who came in was an elemental mage at the level of a third-order high-level leader, and according to Albeni, this person should be a captain of the Eighth Legion. In fact, except for a few elite corps, among the main corps of the empire, many commanders are at the third-level leader level, and there are not many who have reached the third-order leader level.
Among them, there are also a very small number of second-order leaders.
In the RAND world, template progression is much more difficult than career advancement.
Except for a very few cases, those who can reach the leader level at the second order are almost all geniuses of various races. Except for some who were cultivated or co-opted by the Imperial military, or who came out to experience it themselves, few people joined the army.
"Hmm."
Denos looked at Barr next to him, his brow furrowed. With his strength, he couldn't even see the information of this minotaur, and the minotaur in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling.
"According to the intelligence, this bull head lord named Baal is only a first-order high-ranking leader. Even if it is a bloodline awakener, it is only possible to think about it. ”
"I should be overhearted."
Denos shook his head, sat down on the opposite side, looked at Bal and said, "Since you are here, let's stay first, as for the combat mission, the legion will notify you at that time." ”
"Of course."
"Lord Baal is from the Minotaur Legion, and if you are afraid of death, you can leave on your own." As he spoke, Denos took out a document and threw it over.
Syllable.
Barr reached out and caught it.
"This is some recent information, and there is also some information about the support forces, you can go to the far left side hall of the camp to live on your own." After saying that, Denos got up and left, but the first-order leader, even if he was a genius, would not be of much help to the battle situation at all.
"It seems that the empire seems to have a lot of opinions about the actions of the Minotaur Legion this time." Barr glanced at Denos in the distance, smiled, and looked at the information in his hand.
