Chapter 157: Shocking news
Tiger Gorge Fortress is the largest fortress in the western realm, the terrain there is more complicated than Yinling, and there are two complete main battle corps stationed, but I didn't expect it to fall like this all of a sudden.
There was no carelessness, nor was it that the barbarians fought a beautiful battle, but because another neighboring country, Lohigar, suddenly joined the battlefield and launched an attack on the Tiger Gorge Fortress at the same time as Chizawa's legions.
Faced with a large number of enemies, the soldiers of the Tiger Gorge Fortress held out for several days, and finally broke through the defensive line.
After the news came out, the whole country was shocked, Chisawa and Teruma have always had a discordant relationship, and it was expected that this war would occur, but Rochgar and Teruha had never had any grievances, and they would choose to stab Kazuha in the back at this time.
What's more, Lochgar is a human kingdom, and it is really a bit surprising that it has hooked up with barbarians, and even the Huiye Kingdom has not received a little bit of relevant information at all.
When he came back to his senses, the Tiger Gorge Fortress had fallen.
A Qianze Kingdom has already hurt the vitality of Huiye, and with the addition of a Loshigar, is the hundred-year foundation of the Huiye Kingdom really coming to an end?
The people in the kingdom were panicked, and even the Silver Ridge Fortress was affected, and the morale of the legions was extremely low for a while.
An Xu sat on the haystack in front of the camp, moving his barely recovered arms while watching the soldiers in the fortress running around carrying various supplies.
"The legion here is probably going to retreat!" Knoll sighed from the side.
An Xu nodded, did not speak, the kingdom gave up the Yinling Fortress in his expectation, the Tiger Gorge Fortress fell, the gate of the hinterland was completely opened, it didn't matter whether the defense line on the Silver Ridge side was defended or not, but once the enemy army entrenched in the Tiger Gorge Fortress went south, the Yinling Fortress would be completely surrounded.
Even people like An Xu, who don't know anything about military affairs, understand that the more time comes to this, the more important it is to preserve the living force, and if another legion is sacrificed in vain, it will be an unbearable blow to Huiye.
Recalling the perseverance of a week ago, An Xu always felt that he had worked in vain, although the outstanding performance of the team that time won a lot of points rewards, but now that the situation has deteriorated, how can there be any heart to think about rewards.
In the war between countries, the role that one person can play is too limited, and An Xu deeply feels how small he is at this moment.
"What are we going to do?" Lin Qingqing stood behind An Xu and whispered.
"After the legion withdraws, let's go back to Hidden Moon City and see how the situation develops, as for the rewards in the mercenary hall, we will submit them after the war is over! I'm sorry, Kazuha is my country, and now the royal family should be in urgent need of money, and I want to help the country reduce the burden as much as possible! An Xu said.
If Kazuha is defeated and the royal family perishes, then they can only rot in their hands, and their employers are gone, where can they get paid?
You must know that the team has a lot of points now, and if you go to the mercenary hall, you can get a lot of money, which is enough to arm a team of soldiers.
Everyone doesn't care very much, Lin Qingqing is also a Huiye person, and his patriotic feelings are much higher than An Xu's, and they will only support An Xu, and Doudou They don't think much about money, they enjoy the process of mercenary life, only Ivan has just joined the team, An Xu doesn't know what he will think.
Ivan smiled: "It's okay, anyway, the war is not over yet, this is also a gamble, if we save a little more points, if Huiye finally repels the enemy, with this large number of points, we will definitely get a good reward, now exchange points for money, but it is not very cost-effective!" ”
"Thank you, and if the worst happens, I'll make it up to you!"
At this time, a herald ran over and said to An Xu: "Your Excellency, the general has something to call all the mercenary captains, and he will also take you to the council hall." ”
"I guess it's about the evacuation, I'll go and take a look, you're waiting for me at the camp!" An Xu arranged it, and then came to the conference hall, where many captains of the team were already sitting inside, even the leader of the Demon Martial Academy.
General Zhang Quan's face was very bad, it is estimated that he has not had much rest in the past few days, and thinking about the current situation, the commander's mood is also very heavy.
After a while, seeing that everyone had arrived, the general barely squeezed out some smiles and said: "It's been a hard time for you, now our legion is ready to retreat to the hinterland, and we will leave the Yinling fortress soon, if you have the heart, you can evacuate with our legion, and there will be places where you need to rely on it in the future......"
Many of them had already received the news, so they didn't show any surprises, and the captains of these mercenary teams were not very interested in listening to the general talking about some plans for the future.
A large part of them are here for the aristocracy promised by the royal family, and now that the leaves are about to fall, what is the use of the nobility.
Many of them have already made plans to leave the Huiye Kingdom after returning and receiving their rewards, and find a country without war to start the mission again, anyway, now that the mercenary hall has been integrated, it won't have much impact where they go.
Only some of their own mercenary clans are silent, Kazuha has not fallen yet, they don't want to give up this land, as long as there is hope, they are willing to fight.
An Xu sat in the corner, drinking water from a water glass, but thinking about what to do next, the leader of the Demon Martial Arts Academy was sitting not far away, also a little careless.
The Demon Martial Academy will definitely advance and retreat with the kingdom, so they will inevitably evacuate with the legion, and he basically already knows what the general said, and he doesn't have the heart to listen carefully.
"Captain An, I wonder what your team has planned?" A voice sounded in his ears, and An Xu looked back to see that Ning Tianhao had quietly sat next to him at some point.
An Xu smiled bitterly: "I haven't thought about it yet!" ”
"Our clan is ready to leave, and then concentrate on preparing for the assessment of the promotion to the mercenary group! If you can, I would like to invite you to join our mercenary team, to tell you the truth, the assessment task of the mercenary group is very difficult, our team wants to be promoted to the mercenary group, and it is still so close to the door, if you join, there must be no problem, as long as you are willing to join, I will definitely give you very good treatment. ”
Ning Tianhao didn't beat around the bush, most of the mercenaries like to go straight to the point, and it is easy to get the favor of the other party directly to the point.
But An Xu was prepared, and refused with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, the country is in danger, and I don't have the heart to go anywhere else for the time being!" ”
Ning Tianhao was not reluctant, and said: "It's okay, the door of our team will be open for you at any time, if you change your mind in the future, you can come to the south to find me!" ”
Ning Tianhao gave An Xu an address, in his opinion, the demise of Huiye is a sure thing, and An Xu will have nowhere to go at that time, with the basis of this conversation, maybe he will go to the south to seek refuge in him.
For a mercenary, a mercenary group is still very attractive.
"Okay, I'll think about it!" An Xu said perfunctorily, but his attention was focused on him, just now, a teacher from the Demon Martial Academy quietly walked over and whispered in the ear of their team leader.
An Xu was not far away, and he could barely hear what he was saying, roughly when the Tiger Gorge Fortress fell, a team from the Demon Martial Arts Academy broke through to the south, but was caught up and surrounded by the enemy, and is currently hiding in a deep mountain.
And just now, the mage of the Demon Martial Academy here received a specific signal for help, and he only knew about it.
The team leader frowned: "It's difficult, the north has been occupied by the enemy, and it is more difficult to rescue them than to ascend to the sky, even if the entire army is dispatched, it may not be able to bring them out, and General Zhang Quan will never allow the entire army to be put in danger in order to save people!" By the way, I don't know which branch they are on. ”
The teacher thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "It seems to be the Demon Martial Arts Branch over there in Hidden Moon City!" ”
"Bang dang!" An Xu, who was drinking water, let go of his hand, the cup fell to the ground, and the hot tea wet his pants, but he didn't know it.
In his mind, a moving figure appeared!
