Chapter 573: The Uneasy Fortress
The summer of 17,963 years on the mainland seems to have never been so long and tormenting.
Twenty-three days ago, the Pope violently tore apart thousands of years of peace on the continent, quickly occupied the entire territory of the Kingdom of France, and at the same time crossed the Ottoman Kingdom and directly entered the territory of the two kingdoms.
Correspondingly, at the same time that the Papal States instantly annexed the Kingdom of France, the Longtuo Empire also brazenly sent troops to the Rakshasa Kingdom and forcibly entered the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom to meet the Papal States.
On the southern front, the Federation instantly transferred the combined forces of the four major corps, which were directly stationed at the border between the Federation and the two countries.
At any time, we are ready to enter the two countries in one fell swoop.
However, compared to the raging war at the north and south ends of the continent, now on the abyssal border, the most central center of the continent and the most high-profile abyssal border, it has ushered in an unprecedented strange calm.
The crazy ambition of the Papal State, since it has successfully concealed the entire human world, then the already loose sub-demon tribes are naturally also in a deep dazed.
At the same time that the war on the continent ignited in an instant, most of the sub-demon tribes not only did not take the opportunity to attack the human world, but even fled towards the depths of the abyss in large numbers.
After all, under the pressure of the human world for thousands of years, the sub-demons have already become the weakest force.
Now, let alone a piece of the war, even if you just don't want to be affected by the war, you need to be careful again and again by the sub-demon tribes.
Not to mention, the two most influential elven races among the remnants of the abyss are now one of them has strangely migrated to the old world of the abyss, and the other is completely guarded in their own territory and has no intention of participating in the continental situation at all.
As a result, those sub-demon tribes in a panic and helplessness had no choice but to flee in large numbers towards the original residence of the Frost Moon Elves, trying their best to protect the boundary between themselves and the continent.
......
"Lord Kaz, according to the report of the cavalry scouts, almost more than ninety percent of the sub-demon tribes have all retreated into the abyss, leaving only the least few men to investigate. Near the abyss now, it can be said that there is no longer any threat except for the Blood Moon Elf Clan, which is still not moving. β
"And judging by the forces that have already been committed by the Papal States on the north and south lines of the continent today, it is clear that they will not be able to organize a third large-scale attack. β
"At least in the short term...... The abyssal frontier we are stationed on will not be in danger of being attacked!"
One of the large fortresses closest to the abyss of the Federation happened to be the fortress where the Knight Chief Kaz was stationed, and it was also the front line of the battle that the entire Federation once used to be.
After all, before the Papal States really launched an attack, in fact, what the entire federal hierarchy paid close attention to had always been the place where the Papal States could directly raid.
Therefore, when the war on the mainland broke out at the same time as the north and south...... The garrisons stationed in the fortress in front of them, after the initial confusion, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, that kind of world-class war, even the well-trained garrison soldiers will still feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts.
So at this moment, when the flames of war finally broke out on the rest of the fronts.
And the only remnants of the abyss who posed a threat to the fortress also cautiously chose to retreat separately.
Now, even the subordinate officer of the fortress who replied to the news, in his words of making a report, still subconsciously revealed a little unconscious relaxation.
"Although because of the current situation of the two southern countries, the reinforcements of the four major corps that had been hoarded behind the fortress have also turned to the western border of the Federation. β
"But what is really in front of us now is probably only a scattered speculative tribe. β
"With the strength of the fortress now, it is clear that a small attack of this magnitude will not have the slightest impact on the fortress. β
"The key to determining the situation on the mainland is, after all, the main battlefield on the north and south fronts...... And in this continental turmoil in which the whole world participates, we will probably and will always be a supporting role in the corner!"
......
The judgment of the lieutenant of the fortress is actually not so whimsical.
After all, in the current situation on the continent, the Federation and the Empire seem to have vaguely reached some kind of strategic alliance. And Su Tong, the imperial princess who represents the hope of unity, has already gone to the Longtuo Empire as a federal diplomatic ambassador with the qualifications of Su Mu's fiancΓ©e, and is intensively preparing for the joint command.
So now, it is obvious that it is no longer possible for the Papal States to reluctantly carry out a three-front war.
It is also even more unlikely...... Outside the already blocked northern and southern fronts, a third battlefield was once again opened.
Therefore, from a purely intellectual point of view, the conclusion reached by the lieutenant of the fortress should indeed be the final outcome of the border fortress in front of him.
However, what the lieutenant of the fortress did not expect was that for his reasonable judgment, Kaz, the deputy commander-level knight who is the real commander of the fortress here, did not feel relaxed because of this.
At this moment, on the contrary, his expression became more and more awe-inspiring:
"The more this happens, the less careless we can be...... Let the equipment troops prepare the equipment to defend the city, and the rest of the troops must also strictly enforce the guard in turn. β
"If there's any wind or grass, everybody has to respond as soon as possible. β
"And more importantly, since there are no reinforcements from the four major corps behind us now...... In the event of any change, we will be the only ones at the forefront of the Federation. β
"So no matter how far away we are from the current war, we must also ensure that in any case, we can complete the most basic tasks of the federal soldiers. β
Knight Captain Kaz's order obviously surprised the garrison adjutant on the side.
However, in addition to being surprised, the lieutenant of the garrison also carried out Kaz's orders sharply.
After all, long before the Abyss Exploration Group lost contact, it was the Knight Captain Kaz who was the garrison officer, and he was the first to notice something strange from under the calm appearance.
Therefore, although the garrison adjutant cannot understand Kaz's uneasiness logically, he attaches great importance to it from the bottom of his heart.
As a result, one after another orders to strengthen patrols were issued to every corner of the fortress in an instant.
In the uneasiness of the deputy commander of the garrison, Kaz, this fortress standing at the forefront of the abyss, also silently ushered in the twenty-four nights after the flames of war.
