On the southeastern border of the Federation of Science, there is a quiet fortress called Kabat.

The reason why this fortress is quiet is, of course, because it is outside the southeastern border of the Science Federation, and it is directly bordered by the Yunzhong Mountain Range.

Even on the other side of this mountain range, there are the three kingdoms of Tianzhu that have a grudge against the Science Federation.

However, with the natural danger of the Yunzhong Mountain Range, no matter how surging the anger of the Tianzhu Three Kingdoms is, it will not be able to cross the barrier of the Yunzhong Mountain Range after all, and burn directly to the border of the Science Federation.

Therefore, the garrison stationed at the Kabat Fortress is not so much to defend the frontier, but most of the time, it is just to collect a tariff from the delusional beast hunters who enter the Yunzhong Mountain Range.

Therefore, for the high-level of the Federation since ancient times, the Storm Corps, one of the four most elite corps of the Federation, is stationed here, in fact, many of the soldiers of the Storm Corps themselves do not understand.

However, this puzzle was finally answered a day ago.

Because an extremely terrible news is constantly being transmitted back to the headquarters of the fortress from the mouths of countless delusional beast hunters who have fled from the cloud mountains.

"The latest report from the scouts sent out is that the beast tide has reached an area less than five hundred miles from the fortress before dawn. The spruce forests near the fortress are also extremely sparse, so it is feared that the beast tide will directly impact the location of the fortress before sunset today. ”

When Winster, the general of the garrison of the Kabat Fortress, heard this, he did not stop his steps at all, and directly climbed the towering watchtower of the fortress surrounded by a group of subordinates.

The majesty of the galloping beasts has already stirred up boundless twilight everywhere they passed.

And those smoke and dust, even if you are just standing on the watchtower hundreds of miles away, can also be clearly perceived.

"Burn wolf dung, light beacon fires, and deport those who are not willing to leave the fortress to the inner part of the federation. ”

Winster watched in silence, the overwhelming billowing dust in the distance, and quickly calculated in his heart the existing forces in the fortress, and the fastest speed that support could come.

But to Winster's despair, based on his twenty years of experience in the army, this amount of delusional beast frenzy was not at all something that this small fortress could stop.

"Command the men to hurry to the rear of the Federation, so that the rest of the important towns are ready for the onslaught, and tell them everything here. Although it is difficult for us to stop the pace of the beast tide, we must buy enough time for the main force of the Storm Troop to dispatch enough. ”

Winster's command was clearly filled with a deep sense of desperation.

The huge herd of beasts under the yellow sand in the sky is indeed not something that the people guarding the Kabat Fortress can stop.

However, the people who defended this place not only could not retreat a step, but even had the most desperate posture to withstand the first impact of the beast tide.

"If you can survive, whoever you are, please report everything that happened here to the top of the Corps. The family of every soldier here deserves generous compensation from the Federation. ”

After Winster finished the last sentence, he didn't hesitate for a moment.

After firmly grasping the blade of the sword in his hand, he walked directly down the watchtower where the crisis had been confirmed, and ordered the gate of the fortress to be completely opened.

Let all those who have fled from the Cloud Mountains be able to leave this fortress that is about to be destroyed as soon as possible.

......

But it was also when despair and misery were haunting each other in the fortress of Kabat.

An even stranger message was reported to Winster's eyes at the same time.

"There is a woman who has just arrived from the Cloudslitud Mountains, who claims to be a royal relic of the Dragontuo Empire, and who claims to need the protection of the Federation. ”

Winster was stunned when he heard this, completely unaware that such a coincidental incident would happen again at such a pressing moment.

And in the face of such a straightforward asylum request, according to the usual style of the Science Federation, it is indeed necessary to confirm the authenticity of this matter.

Therefore, even if Winster didn't care about this, he still sent a few soldiers and asked them to immediately escort Su Tong to the next federal town.

However, to Winster's surprise again, in the face of this arrangement he made in a hurry, the descendant of the Longtuo royal family who sought refuge had no intention of giving up.

While Winster was repeatedly calculating on the map how to delay the longest with the least amount of attrition.

The woman, who claimed to be a descendant of Long Tuo, broke into the military tent directly.

And the first sentence she said when she broke into the military tent immediately made Winster feel the slightest alarm.

Because Su Tong's blunt words after breaking into the military tent are:

"The Storm Regiment of the Science Federation is the only one of the four major corps of the Federation that is completely composed of garrison troops. Therefore, the speed of mutual support has always been your biggest drawback. ”

"But it's precisely because you're completely composed of garrison troops, in fact, compared to the other three more offensive corps, you are definitely the top one in terms of defending the city. ”

"So I won't leave here, once I lose the support of the city fortifications, the scattered beast tide that crosses the fortress is obviously a greater threat to me. On the other hand, if you can follow my advice, I can also guarantee that this fortress will definitely be able to support the arrival of reinforcements in the invasion of the beast tide. ”

What made Winster feel alert was naturally Su Tong's intimidation of the Federation Legion.

But in addition to the slightest vigilance, Su Tong's strong confidence also made Winster, who felt desperate, rekindle the fire of hope in his heart.

"How can you guarantee that the fortress of Kabat will not be captured?"

Faced with Winster's question, Su Tong did not directly say the method, but pointed directly to the map on the desktop that Winster was still looking at just now.

Then he quickly said a plan that shocked Winster even more:

"If I'm not mistaken, as a relatively large pass in the near future, there will be about four or five hundred troops in a fortress of this level. Seventy percent of them were ordinary infantry fighters, the remaining thirty percent were crossbowmen for long-range suppression, and there would be at least two groups of engineers operating catapults. ”

"The conscription standard of the Federation of Science is to have at least a third-order warrior realm. And as an elite unit, the Storm Legion, the average quality of fighters you have is at least the level of the fifth order of small print. Therefore, the seventy percent of the ordinary troops are completely enough to defend the city wall. ”

"As for the crossbowmen and engineers, they are the ones who really determine how long this fortress can be delayed, and I hope you will take command of this part...... Leave it to me!"

When Su Tong said this, he looked deeply at Winster, who was full of doubts.

Then, word by word, the ultimate goal was stated:

"There is no kind of delusional beast's weakness that exists in their front, and in order to inflict the deadliest and effective blow on the beast tide, it must be attacked from the flank. ”

"So, crossbowmen and engineers operating catapults, they must leave the safest fortress and outflank the beast tide from the field!"

"That's the only way to ...... to hold out until reinforcements arrive!"
