Stormtooth squinted his eyes, staring at the distant horizon through the wind and sand, a smile on his rough face.

"I'm coming...... White dwarfs, wash your necks and wait! ”

……

Kamui Fortress.

On the marble platform, a set of mahogany tables and chairs brought from the Kingdom of the Lord sits along. This wood is very different from the mahogany of the civilized era, the texture is more tight, and the polished and smooth furniture can be seen with layers of beautiful patterns, coupled with the careful carving of skilled workers, even if the material itself is not considered, it is enough to become an expensive craft.

The Earl of Tartsville sat down in his chair, took a sip of the coffee on the small mahogany table, put it down, took a biscuit from the plate, dipped it in the applesauce from the white porcelain plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

He didn't like the job of a "Stronghold Guard" at all. But there was no way, if it weren't for his talent in military affairs, he would not have been appreciated by the Saxon aristocracy, and he was able to jump from baron to earl in a short period of time. What's more, Tazville still had a reason to come———— more than ten years ago, he was still an energetic and impulsive young man. As a joke with his friends, "I must have ten people every night, each of them twice," Tadsville, who was just a baron at the time, gulped down most of the bottle of spirits. With the thrill of the rising alcohol, he and his two retinue shouted in the fireworks alleys of the City of London, "catching women" like heavily armed hunters rushing into the woods to catch their prey.

Both Tazwil and his friends were just playing it. "Catching" ten women from the fireworks alley to go back, this kind of thing is common in aristocratic circles. Although the process may seem barbaric, the nightclub operators know that they always come to their homes on the second or third day to ask for the "captured" woman and the "happy coins" they must pay. This is an obscure statement in the industry, and it is also a rule that everyone abides by.

Tartsville had bad luck, he had drunk too much that day. I didn't know when I walked out of Fireworks Alley and came to the intersection of the "T" shaped street. A very beautiful girl happened to pass by, and Tatzville took a fancy to it, and without thinking about it, she pounced on her, grabbed her, and took her back to her lodgings.

It was the daughter of a marquis.

The family paid 50,000 gold pounds for this, and also paid four high-grade estates. The Marquis, however, was not interested in these things, he wanted Tartsville's head, or to make the damned young man's legs into an artificial concave shape.

From then on, Tartsville could only stay at Kamui Fortress, forever. The only chance to leave here is to endure slowly, accumulate military merits, and be promoted to the rank of duke.

In the small square in front of the marble platform, an executioner with a large waist is beating a soldier.

There are no women in Kamui Fortress. Although the most primitive desires are not forbidden here, the soldiers who are stationed all year round cannot be released by normal means. According to the agreement signed between the Five Kingdoms and the Holy See———— Shenwei Fortress is jointly managed by all the kingdoms, and all supplies and personnel are also borne by each country in proportion. Once a quarter, or four times a year, the major kingdoms would "organize" a group of women to go to the fortress to comfort the soldiers who had suffered the wind and sand on the Gobi Desert.

After a week of revelry, all the women had to leave the fortress.

This is the consensus reached by the military of various kingdoms as early as hundreds of years, and then a detailed system has been formed. This is exactly the same as the ancestral regulation of the northern giants, and it is not difficult to understand ———— it is more or less an excuse, but it is a framework that is higher than the law at the level of human thinking. But there's no denying that it's working out pretty well.

There are a large number of cattle and sheep in the fortress. The animals were brought in from the rear by the countries, and they arrived with enough hay to feed them for a long time. Outside of the seasonal carnival hours, officers and soldiers compete for sheep in the fortress. This docile animal, male or female, will only 'bleat' and bark non-stop when it is hurt. When the strong bully the weak, they always like each other to scream, and the size and weight of the sheep are just right...... Of course, the defenders of the fort sometimes chose cattle or horses, but in terms of the overall frequency and the number of "live sheep" always came first each time the quartermaster issued a list of supplies to the rear.

Smaller soldiers are very popular in Kamui Fortress, especially the ones who are weak and soft-spoken...... In fact, the Holy Lord is not fair to humans, young and handsome men are not only liked by women, they belong to a special group within the fortress. Every year when new recruits arrive, veterans stationed at Kamui Fortress begin a new round of distribution. They call young recruits who are easily controlled and look good on the outside "kids". The stronger the physique, the longer the old man has been in the army, the more "children" he has. Over time, the young, handsome, skinny soldiers became a resource inside the fortress. Veterans often exchange "children" with each other, even as commodities for special goods.

Soldiers like to drink alcohol, especially strong liquors with a high degree of alcohol.

Forget the worry powder is a new gadget that has become popular a few years ago. Ever since the traders brought the white powder to the fortress, from the Supreme Commander Tartsville to the rank-and-file soldiers, there was soon a strong demand for the powder.

In addition to this, sugar and salt were also hard currencies inside the fort.

The soldier kneeling on the ground was covered in blood, and he was kicked in the stomach by the executioner, and he fell screaming with his hands in his hands. Half of his face was stained red with blood, his hair was soaked with blood, and several pieces of skin had broken on his forehead, and the torn hair stuck to his face. He lay on his side on the ground, trembling all over, his eyes revealing fear, and he wailed: "Please stop fighting, I...... I don't dare anymore. ”

Tartsville slowly munched on the jam-dipped biscuit and glanced slowly.

Does this guy seem to be called Tom, or Thom? In short, it is a name with a similar pronunciation.

He was a soldier in the fortress and a veteran who had served for more than five years. According to the class division within the fortress, veterans often have a certain amount of power. But this guy is not among them, he has a soft temperament, and he usually keeps his duties honestly. For many years, I have been bullied by others...... Tartsville doesn't usually care about this, and if Tom hadn't stolen a sheep last night, he wouldn't have been caught and punished on such occasions.

The sheep did not belong to Tom, but to the private property of a second lieutenant officer. The officer bought the sheep half a year ago, when he spent a lot of money, and a certificate with a personal seal of Tartsville.

Sheep were very popular in Kamui Fortress, and Tazwil also took the opportunity to sell live sheep as a commodity to the officers and soldiers below, and made some profits from it.

Tom was caught stealing sheep, and the second lieutenant chased after him, and in the process of tearing up, Tom accidentally killed the second lieutenant.

It's actually quite simple, and many people can prove that Tom is an honest man. But none of these things mattered to Tartsville———— it was boring to stay in the fortress, and something had to be done. Since there is such an unlucky ghost who takes the initiative to send it to the door, it can't be easily let go.

Swallowing the mouthful of food in his mouth, Tartsville lazily raised his right hand. Seeing this, the executioner stopped, and Tom, who was lying on his side, also showed hope in his eyes.

He held back his pain and begged repeatedly: "My lord, please let me go!" I don't dare anymore. ”

Tartsville looked at the executioner unhappily, "I mean, give him something powerful." ”

The burly executioner nodded knowingly, twisted his heels, and quickly turned on the spot, and the heavy heel of the hoop iron kicked Tom the head, and the poor fellow straightened up, and suddenly lay down again like a cut tree. His body was twitching all the time, and the wound on his forehead was even bigger.

"Take him down, you can do whatever you want." After afternoon tea, Tazwil had lost interest in the punishment. He made a verdict that was in line with the wishes of some of the soldiers. Watching a large crowd cheer into the plaza and drag the dying Tom away, Tazwell pursed his lips and began to think about what dinner would be for the day and what the evening would do.

There are no women in Kamui Fortress. It's an iron law that even Tartsville himself would not dare to violate.

But that doesn't mean he'll be as honest as the Puritans. Tartsville was accompanied by two handsome guards who had been spotted from their arrival a few years earlier, and had been wounded in a "scout battle with the Northern Giants" while they had gone out to scout.

The Giants of the North are powerful and evil. Their hatred of whites reached its extreme. The giant seized the two poor young men and, with deep malice, cut off their symbols of being men. There is only one purpose———— to make the damned white man lose his children and grandchildren, and completely lose his fertility.

Tartsville has the tolerance and compassion that characterizes the aristocracy. He took the two young men into his account and gave them special attention.

If they were allowed to return home as wounded soldiers, the end would be miserable and despised by everyone.

Caring for the soldiers and their daily lives is the duty of the fort commander.

Since then, Tartsville has added a number of private projects to the supply requested domestically. For example, thin pajamas studded with lace, silk panties, and some semi-coagulated animal fats that are said to increase muscle strength......

Just as Tartsville was thinking about it, a bell suddenly rang from the tower in the distance.

Everyone, including the Count, raised their heads and looked in that direction.

It's the bell that rings from the vigilantes, which means that an enemy is coming.

This sort of thing seemed somewhat incomprehensible to Tartsville, as were the officers and soldiers who were busy amusing poor Tom.

The guards of Kamui Fortress were of little use to them, just an ornament.

There are precursors in all battles, and it is nothing more than the defeat of the front-line troops and the retreat.

There has never been a case where a northern giant has left the Lock Dragon Pass and taken the initiative to attack the fortress without engaging in battle.

The adjutant glanced at the vigilantes who were standing at the top of the tower waving signal flags, walked quickly to Tartsville's side, and whispered in a strange tone, "My lord, the enemy is coming from the east. ”

Tartsville nodded slowly: "I see it." ”

He had the same confusion in his heart as the adjutant.

East?

What enemies will there be over there?

……

In accordance with the order of the Tyrant Tooth, the Marine Corps made all kinds of preparations. In particular, after the initial setting of the artillery position was completed, a number of technical soldiers dressed in desert camouflage went out to a position very close to the fortress to observe. It wasn't until the afternoon that the first round of the offensive finally began.

Although it was not far from the sea, Tyrant Tooth only brought eighty light artillery pieces. It was the practice of dismantling the 105-mm gun into parts, transporting them, arriving at their destination and reassembling them.

The thick walls shattered in the explosion, and powerful cannonballs flew over the walls of Kamui Fortress and fell inside, bringing with them a trail of death and fear.

Tartsville watched as the tower snapped in the middle and collapsed with fire and smoke, and saw the soldiers disappear in the explosion, reduced to countless pieces of flesh and blood.

There is no doubt that this is artillery. But the question is, where did the northern giants get this weapon? And both in power and range, all of them are above their own artillery.

"All gun emplacements fire at once, hit me hard!"

"Kill all these damned barbarians!"

"Open the weapons warehouse and let them taste our awesomeness!"

Tartsville is indeed quite capable of running the army. He quickly stabilized the situation, and the artillery mounts began to return fire, and sent a commando force of up to 20,000 men to attack the giant army in the east direction outside the city.

As the sun set in the twilight of the battle, Tazville stood at the head of the city and saw a scene that was unbelievable to all the garrisons of the fortress.

The overwhelming artillery fire enveloped the battlefield, and the white musketeers who lined up in a dense offensive formation suddenly became targets, and a single shell could take dozens of lives. As the fortress emplacements were blown up one by one, the northern giants also sent infantry. Dressed in improvised armor, they fired face-to-face with white musketeers. The lead bullets fired from the arquebus hit the armor with a crisp impact, but the giant's bullets shot into the target's body, triggering a new round of death.

Night soon fell, and Tazwil no longer had the slightest pride of being a nobleman. He became frightened and restless, and walked around the command room restlessly.

He was shrewd, and had already seen that the fortress would not last long under the heavy fire of the giants.

If you're lucky, you can last a few days, but if you're unlucky, you might not even survive tomorrow. It was so surprising that there was no intelligence that the northern giants possessed hot weapons. Unexpectedly, they developed such a terrifying artillery, as well as a gun with a range and precision far beyond imagination.

What's going on?

Where are the Kingdom Coalition forces attacking Lock Dragon Pass?

The only thing Tartsville could do was send out a large number of scouts to deliver the news to the north and south.
