Chapter 509: Attack and Defense of Parfield (III)
Update in time, after that, it didn't take too long for the reinforcements of the top of the cloud fortress to arrive in a hurry, after the two sides communicated, Nemo and the others rotated with them, on the one hand, it was meaningless for these wounded soldiers to stay here, on the other hand, Nemo also had to report the previous battle situation to the commander-in-chief of the top of the cloud fortress, and at the same time, he was also responsible for leading the way for Rhodes and others. In any case, after all, I have communicated with these mysterious reinforcements, and I have seen their strength with my own eyes. As a soldier, Nemo certainly understands that the military and the nobility often look at each other at odds with each other. If those guys who don't know the truth come over and say that it might be a bad thing, so he volunteered to lead the way for Rhodes and the others and headed in the direction of the top fortress of the clouds.
Along the way, Rod did not forget to ask Nemo about everything that had happened recently, and Nemo was also quite helpless in the face of Rod's inquiry. Although the Fortress of the Top of the Cloud is also one of the defensive lines to protect Parfield, the defense power here is not strong, and this is also related to the topography of Parfield itself.
As the center connecting the north and the south, the overall topography of Parfield is high in the west and low in the east, like a triangular pie, the mountains in the west form a solid barrier to connect with the Night Dragon Kingdom, and the more you lean to the east, the more gentle the terrain is, especially the part bordering the south, almost all of them are flat, only a river of dawn separates the two sides, it can be said that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and this is the hinterland of the principality, Most of the fortress's daily duties are to search for and guard against bandits, robbers, and some criminals. Because of this, and for the terrain in front of you, the top of the clouds and mist as a military fortress almost does not play a role, so now most of the people here take the extension line to set up some front-line outposts, and the fortress will regularly send some soldiers to garrison and rotate here, of course, although this can stretch the defense line, and can quickly find those bandits and criminals, but once you encounter a real army, this kind of outpost battle is almost useless.
And because of that. When the news of the independence of the south came, the entire fortress was almost in chaos. Originally, there was a shortage of manpower here, not to mention that in order to guard against the Night Dragon Kingdom and the Light Country, it was impossible for Lydia to send border garrisons to reinforce it, which made the fortress commander very depressed. Ultimately. He was only able to reluctantly consolidate the soldiers stationed at several forward posts, and ordered them to signal as soon as they were attacked, and the fortress would send people to assist as soon as possible.
I have to say that there is no way to do it, the border between Pafield and Croatia is too long, unlike the Land of Atonement, the towering mountains are natural barriers, and the fortress built by Rhodes is the only way to pass, not afraid that there will be enemies to bypass him. But here, if the enemy wants to bypass the line of defense at the top of the clouds. But it's not difficult at all. Wanting to cover everything is a real hassle here.
"Lord Rhodes, your arrival. I think the commander will be happy, he complains about the lack of manpower all day long, which is a big problem......... Hey, the news from the Golden City seems to be that more people can't be mobilized for the time being. Although I heard that the troops on the Cole Plateau and Mephistopheles side are also preparing, but when they come here, I don't know how long it will take to wait for the road..............."
Rhodes rode his horse, quietly listening to Nemo's grumblings while remaining silent. It seems that Lydia really has high aspirations this time, and the reformers will perform. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is also an acting school, in order to lower the vigilance of those rats. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke really acted as if nothing had happened, and he didn't mean to move the army at all. This courage alone is enough to make Rod sigh. In other words, if someone else hears the news that the reformers want to rebel against independence, no matter how bad it is, they will mobilize their own cronies to prevent it. But even if such a thing as a troop movement is secret, it is very likely that the news will leak out, and those reformers, as Lydia said, are rats hiding in holes, and even if they hear a cat meow, these rats will immediately hide and never appear again. …,
