The fortress of Bastin was built in the northernmost part of the territory of the Kingdom of Westmar on the Western Continent, due to its proximity to the Holy Mountain of Atrius...... Now renamed the Ruins of Atri, the land of the barbarians in the Land of Dread, the weather is bitterly cold with snow and ice all year round.

This geography resulted in the standard armor worn by the defenders stationed at Bastin Fortress, perhaps not the strongest in the Kingdom of Westmar, but definitely the warmest.

Unfortunately, this warmth did not bring the slightest warmth to the guards, even though the temperature in the air had reached a new high in twenty years.

It's not that you're not used to the warm climate after spending a lot of time in a cold environment, but because the temperature is a few degrees higher than the same time in previous years mixed with the lingering smell of sulfur.

The smell of sulphur doesn't mean that the Atlantic eruption...... Although the defenders of Bastin Fortress are more likely to have a volcanic eruption than they are in their current state.

The smell of sulfur in the air meant that another wave of demons had popped out of the ruins of Atri.

The people who are still alive and ready to thank the guards of the Bastin Fortress are Captain Haley and the nuns of the Blind Eye Order, who seem to have known that demons would crawl out and have traveled thousands of miles to get here.

If it weren't for Captain Haley, who was stationed on the front line, he would have noticed a demon appearing at the first time, and the target would have been Bastin Fortress.

Maybe many people have been eaten by demons until they have been eaten by demons, and they have not reacted to what happened...... Although in all seriousness, demons do not eat people, at least the vast majority of demons have little interest in cannibalism.

At the same time, without the support of the nuns, the fortress of Bastin would have fallen long ago.

Although these demons have some rookie combat power, they are also overwhelming.

The current fortress of Bastin counts all the old and young women and children, and the number of people is less than three hundred when it is fully counted.

Before the arrival of the Rog warriors of the Order of the Blind Eye, because the number of guards was too small, the battlements of the city wall had all been lost after a few days of stalemate, and they almost entered a state of street fighting.

In the face of the demon's huge numerical superiority, there is not much difference between entering a street fight and losing it.

Because of the equipment for Mishan and the transportation of a lot of baggage, Kasha, who came a few days later than scheduled, and those Rog warriors saw the demons who had climbed the city walls.

At that time, I rushed forward as if I had been doped.

Twenty years of vengeful flames have made demons who think they are manic realize what true mania is.

Thanks to this fire, it is only natural that Kasha will become the supreme commander of the Bastin Fortress.

Captain Haley, who was originally qualified to compete with Kashya, said that he would prefer to stay at the front line.

As for the fact that the fortress of Bastin belonging to the Kingdom of Westmar was occupied by a group of nuns from the Eastern Monastery, what does the current king of the Kingdom of Westmar, Gasdian IV, think?

This can be seen from the "king's dictrum" from the messenger he sent.

In the roar of demons storming the walls, the continuous firing of trebuchets/crossbow carts, and the orders and shouts of soldiers.

The messenger of Gasdian IV said to Kashya with a serious face:

"His Majesty will never send a single soldier alive to fight against those imaginary demons."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dull explosion sent a vibration that shook the entire fortress slightly.

The messenger who had just spoken the king's dictation in righteous words immediately broke out in a cold sweat and asked in a worried tone, "My lord, can this place be guarded?" “‘

"Isn't it an imaginary demon? What does it mean to be able to hold on? Kasha said with a sneer, when he was still in the Eastern Monastery before, he had heard that this generation of King Gasdian IV of Westmar was a faint king.

…… Well, the faint king is not counted, after all, if you want to be a faint king, you have to have the ability.

Gasdian IV had always felt like he was incompetent, and the words of this messenger confirmed this.

"That'...... That's just my job. The messenger was also embarrassed, and on the way to be sent, the messenger thought like his own king that the old and weak soldiers of the Bastin Fortress had probably used the Sinking Demon Lair as a demon army.

As a result, when he arrived at the fortress, all those who were qualified to receive the king's dictation were either in the cemetery or on the front line of the walls, and the messenger was forced to make only one day trip to the walls.

Then the messenger had a good understanding of what it means to overwhelming a large army of demons, and if it weren't for Kashya's quick eyes, this unlucky messenger might have been pulled into the air by the demon bat demon before he even could say his word.

Therefore, after the messenger was delivered, the messenger began to ask if the fortress could be defended, if not, how long it could last, and how he should use this time to allow the brother of King's Port to flee to the Eastern Continent with his family.

As for the return king's side to report on the situation of the fortress of Bastin...... Come on, love what's wrong, even if what he says is out of the blue, that idiot of Gasdian won't believe it, and if he says that he is lying and confusing the crowd and putting himself in prison.

Looking at the messenger, who was pale and eager to flee immediately, Kashya sneered and said:

"We don't expect your majesty to help us, it's good that he doesn't cause trouble for us."

"Do you think you can hold this place?" The Courier looked at Kasha with the look of a madman.

When questioned, the courier seemed to have forgotten that according to the efficiency with which Westmath's side handled the matter, the first time Bastin Fortress was attacked by demons should have been more than two months ago.

After receiving the alarm from the Bastin Fortress, Gasdian IV thought the content was too absurd and simply ignored it.

It was not until more than a month later, when Gasdian IV, who was bored and remembered that he still had to do so, sent a messenger to deliver his message.

With such a waste inside and out, more than two months have passed.

Before the messenger could remember this, there was another explosion that was several times more violent than just now, and the shock caused by it was also ten times greater.

The whole wall shook with it, and the messenger almost fell to the ground, and then the surrounding fortress guards and Rogue warriors all looked like old gods, just get used to it...... The attack of the demons is the attack method of the trinity of land and air (heaven, surface, and underground), and it is not surprising that there is any situation.

"Report the situation!" Kashya shouted as he tossed the messenger aside.

"The lower storeroom defenses have been breached! The gluttonous lord seems to have risen again. A fortress guard reported.

"That stinky lower-level demon lord was resurrected really quickly, how about the loss?" Kashya then asked.

"It was Carter and Captain Rogers on duty at the time, and they should still be trapped underneath." The fortress guard said.

"You take my place, and I'll go down and get them both out." Kashya didn't hesitate to say to the guard.

Kashya's conversation with the fortress guard made the messenger look horrified, what? Have a demon lord under your feet? With only a demon lord under the fortress and no other messengers, who hadn't listened to anything, stumbled towards the south-facing gate of Bastin Fortress.

Before he could reach the gate, the messenger waved to the two soldiers guarding the gate: "Quick! Open the gates! I'm going to...... I would like to report back to His Majesty the King on the situation here. “

The two fortress guards who had been assigned to rest at the back door glanced at each other, and both could see the smiles in each other's eyes through the gaps in each other's helmets.

At the beginning, when I waited for half a month and didn't wait for reinforcements, everyone would complain, but now, love is not coming...... It was also a nice experience to scare the King's messenger.

"Quick! Open the gates! The messenger who rushed to the gate of the fortress shouted loudly when he saw that the guard had not moved.

"Don't worry, sir, we'll open the gates." Although there is a mouthful of a master, when the fortress guards turn the winch, they move as slowly as they can.

After waiting for a minute, the messenger who saw a little crack in the door asked, "Is there any other exit?" ”

"This is a military fortress, sir, if you are really in such a hurry to get out, we can provide a basket." The guard said with a grin.

The messenger, who knew what the basket was about, thought about it a little and gave up the tempting plan, rushed to the guard, grabbed the winch, and began to spin rapidly.

After a while, the messenger noticed that something was wrong, the originally heavy winch became lighter and lighter, and finally it spun quickly without his strength...... Could it be that the gate is still fully automatic?

The messenger, who didn't understand what was happening, looked up at the guards, only to see that the two guards who had come to the other side of the winch were stunned for a moment after discovering the same situation, and then one of them ran quickly to the inside of the fortress, and the other took his shield and weapon to face the gate he had opened.

The messenger, whose head was full of demons, immediately entered the crouching body with his head in his hands, just as the messenger had just squatted down.

The south gate of the Bastin Fortress, which required at least two soldiers to turn the winch for more than ten minutes to open, was pushed open with a "bang" from the outside.

The glittering golden giants illuminated the interior of Bastin Fortress like an oversized light bulb.

"It's okay, at least it's not like it's a demon ......," Mi Shan, who was dressed in a 998 gold shining successor armor, said after forcibly pushing open the door.
