Chapter 465: The Condition of the Wall
Fang Guoan shook his head, "No, we travel fifteen hundred miles every day, and we only stay at the three, six, ninth, twelve, these three post stations, and we haven't stayed at the No. 7 post station, I remember Lao Xu, the stationmaster of the No. 7 post station, I haven't met him for several years, what's wrong with him?"
"Commander Fang, that's right, in the process of hurrying, we found people from the Obscene Yan Sect, and these people are the soldiers of the original No. 7 Post Station!" Ma Dian said with a serious expression.
"What!"
The surrounding soldiers all showed surprised expressions, they never thought that such a thing would happen in the official road under the jurisdiction of the Ming Great Empire.
"Ma Gongzi, what is the specific situation, please tell me in detail!" Fang Guoan said with a solemn expression.
Ma Dian nodded and said, "Here's the thing......"
Ma Dian explained in detail to Fang Guoan what a few people had encountered in the official road before.
"That's probably what happened, so we plan to explain the situation to Commander Fang, the people of the Lewd Yan Sect are very likely to have invaded the empire, and please pay attention to Lord Fang!" Ma Dian said with a solemn expression
Fang Guoan nodded, "I know, the probability of there being obscene sect elements here is very small, but Ma Gongzi, your words did remind me, I will definitely check the people in our district one by one in a while, and at the same time inform the commanders of each district of this matter." ”
"The troublesome party commanded. ”
Fang Guoan shook his head and asked, "However, then again, Ma Gongzi and Miss Leng Yue, you two have been possessed by people from the Lewd Yan Sect, have you felt any discomfort at present?"
Ma Dian shook his head: "Please also rest assured Commander Fang, we will never become the people of the Lewd Yan Sect, Leng Yue and I have carefully checked our bodies, and we have not been left with lewdness, when the time comes, it will be the academy, and then let our principal check on us." ”
Fang Guoan said with confidence: "That's fine, without further ado, we'll act now." ”
"Stone, you take a few other brothers to inform the commanders of other regions, Jianmu, you take the remaining brothers to find people to question one by one, this matter must be kept strictly secret, except for letting the commanders of each region know, you can't let anyone know, when you ask the people below, you must not let people see the clues, do you hear!"
"Obey! Boss Fang!" the people around answered, and the soldiers divided into two groups, one team ran towards the surrounding area, and the other team opened a secret passage and came to the soldiers' rest area inside the wall to find people to talk to one by one.
On the wall, only Xin'er and Fang Guoan were left.
"Three, please come with me, and I'll take them to the garrison area of Ansai Academy. Fang Guoan said to the three.
"Commander Fang, could it be that all the students of our Ansai Academy are also in Area Eight?" Xin'er said excitedly.
Fang Guoan smiled slightly: "Hehe, exactly." ”
"That, are Sister Siyu and Sister Yingmeng also there?" Xin'er and Leng Yue said excitedly.
"Of course, since they know that I know the three of you, they have to ask me every day why you can come here, you students of Ansai Academy, but you miss the three of you very much. Fang Guoan smiled.
"Then what are you waiting for, take us there!" Xin'er said impatiently.
"Three, please come with me. ”
With that, Fang Guo led the three of them towards the south.
However, the four of them walked on the wall for a long time, and they didn't find anyone except the soldiers standing guard, which made the three of them very curious.
"Captain Fang, where has this person gone? Why did you walk for a long time, but you didn't see anyone. Xin'er was a little puzzled.
"Hehe, you'll find out later. Fang Guoan pretended to be mysterious.
The group had no choice but to move on.
Finally, Fang Guoan stopped, and a lever appeared in front of him, Fang Guoan pulled the lever hard, only to see the floor in front of him disappear, revealing a staircase.
"Come in. ”
Several people subconsciously followed Fang Guoan in.
Fang Guoan explained while leading the way: "The upper part will only gather personnel during the battle, and under normal circumstances, we will stay below. ”
"Don't look at the Cumming Wall like this, in fact, the interior is hollow, and there are three floors inside the wall, the first floor is occupied by soldiers, the second floor is occupied by academy students, and the last is occupied by some adventurers who come to support. ”
"However, although the wall is hollow, the wall is very strong, the Cumming wall as a whole is made of magic soil, this kind of soil resistance is very high, ordinary impact can not damage it at all, it can be repaired after breaking, it is a very strong and durable material!"
"I see. Xin'er nodded thoughtfully, the material of demonic soil, Xin'er had heard Nameless mention, not only sturdy and durable, but also very rare, the Ming Empire actually used demonic soil to build such a strong wall, which shows how strong its heritage is.
"Commander Fang, tell us who the combat members of Area 8 are. Ma Dian asked casually.
Fang Guoan nodded, and said as he walked: "In addition to the original soldiers guarding the wall, the soldiers on our side also have all the officers and soldiers of our Lubing Battalion and all the officers and soldiers of the Wushuang Battalion, a total of 1,523 people. ”
"On the academy side, there are students from your four academies, Ansai Academy, Ditian Academy, Huangmao Academy, and Lingding Academy, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight people. ”
"The rest are some of the Jianghu people and adventurers who came to support, a total of 2,784 people. ”
"Among them, there are about forty people, and there are eighty-two strong people above sixty, and the overall strength is still good, before you came, we have repeatedly repelled more than a dozen waves of beast tides, and there have been no casualties so far. Fang Guoan said with a little pride.
"With so many people in the rivers and lakes, isn't it difficult to manage?" Ma Dian couldn't help but ask.
"What's so rare about this, most of these people who come to support come here are here for the reward, as long as they are given a satisfactory reward, they are still very willing to contribute. ”
"Moreover, you must know that the soldiers value orders, and the people of the rivers and lakes value affection, as long as we treat them as brothers, they will naturally not make trouble. ”
"However, the people of the rivers and lakes are always the people of the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to contribute to the empire wholeheartedly. Ma Dian said.
Fang Guoan nodded, "If you are actually from the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to completely obey the orders of the imperial court, many people are afraid of death and dare not make a move, about this, it is unavoidable."
"Therefore, although there are many people from the rivers and lakes who have come to support, they are not the main force of this operation, the real main force is the elite troops of our Ming Empire, and most of them play an auxiliary role. After all, it is impossible to gather people in the rivers and lakes to do big things. ”
Ma Dian nodded thoughtfully, and continued to ask, "Is that Wushuang Battalion also from Utu City?"
Fang Guoan shook his head and said, "No, the Wushuang Battalion is the pro-guard army of the Ming Great Empire!"
"Hiss......"
The three of them gasped: they didn't expect that even the Empire's personal guards participated in this battle.
Fang Guoan paused slightly, and explained: "Since this beast tide is different from the past, the empire specially dispatched two groups of personal guards from the imperial capital Ming Dacheng to support, and the Wushuang Battalion is one of them!"
"The commander of the Wushuang Battalion is called Yongmeng, a sixty-third level fire magician, as his name suggests, he is a fierce general, he once led the Wushuang Battalion to make great contributions, and he could have retired this year, but when he received the situation at the border, he took the initiative to ask for support for the border, and was deeply appreciated by the saints. ”
"Originally, the position of commander should have been given to him to do, but Yongmeng has never liked management, he likes to fight, plus the two of us are old acquaintances with him, he gave up all the power to me, and every day he takes the Wushuang battalion to reconnoiter nearby, and every time the beast tide occurs, he is also the first, rushing to the front, and he can't stop it. ”
"Such a fierce general, I really want to get to know him. Ma Dian smiled.
Fang Guoan smiled, "On weekdays, you can't see him, at this point in time, he is usually not on the wall, but patrols nearby with soldiers, unless there is a beast tide, you can only see him." ”
The main force this time is the elite troops of our Ming Empire, and the students of various academies
Ma Dian nodded and continued to ask, "Commander Fang, I would like to ask, how is the strength of our Ansai Academy compared to the other three academies?"
Fang Guoan thought for a moment and said: "Your academy is rich in heritage, and it is also famous in the whole continent, and its strength can rank second among the four academies, the first is the Emperor Heaven Academy, it is an academy built by our Ming Empire, and the students in it are all geniuses, and their background is also very extraordinary, whenever there is an emergency in the empire, some students will be drawn from the Emperor Heaven Academy to come to support." ”
"Most of the people who came to support this time are senior students of the Emperor Heaven Academy, and the overall strength is above your academy, and they are ......."
Looking at Fang Guoan's look of wanting to speak and stopping, Ma Dian couldn't help but ask, "And what?"
Fang Guoan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "And the students of the Emperor Heaven Academy have some friction with your Ansai Academy. ”
Ma Dian had already guessed in his heart that there might be a discord between Ditian Academy and Ansai Academy, after all, Ditian Academy is a famous aristocratic academy, and the people in it are not only geniuses, but also high-ranking officials and nobles, and the people who can enter it have a good background, unlike Ansai Academy, which only recruits talents, regardless of background.
The students of the Emperor Academy always have an inexplicable sense of superiority, while the students of the Ansai Academy have always been upright and will not bow their heads to others easily, and the students of the two colleges are easy to have friction when they are together.
"Dare to ask Commander Fang, what is the cause of friction between our academy and the Emperor Heaven Academy. ”
Fang Guoan sighed, "This matter, you will know when you meet the students of your academy, I am not good to participate in this matter, and it is not good to favor you, please forgive me." ”
The three of them nodded, expressing their understanding of Fang Guoan's approach, after all, no matter how you say it, the Emperor Heaven Academy is an academy built by the Ming Empire, and its colleges are also members of the empire, Ansai Academy has always been a neutral force in the mainland, although it is settled in the Ming Empire, but it does not actually belong to the academy of the Ming Empire, and it is impossible for Fang Guoan to help the students of the Ansai Academy suppress the students of the Emperor Empire.
He was willing to tell the three of them about it, and not interfering in the conflict between the two academies was already very biased in favor of Ansai Academy.
