After a brief tour, the group sat down in the office's sitting area. Later, Oliver Barth, the deputy captain of the princess guard, Kyle Larkin, the deputy captain of the Kingfisher unit, and the head of the Spartan Warriors, Hildebran Suja, reported to the supreme commander of the fortress, Iron Sands, the troops stationed in the area.

The Contemplative Fortress consists of sixteen outposts, three spirit stone mines, a black oil mine, a mythril mine, and an ore refinery, as well as seven mining sites to be mined. The Mithril Mine and Ore Refinery, as well as two unmined mines, are owned by Yuge, and the rest are owned by the Templars.

As for the Princess Guard, there were three squads, the first squads were stationed in the fortress, and the second and third squads were stationed in the Mithril Mine and the Ore Refinery, respectively. The Princess's Guard is somewhat similar to the Dawn Expeditionary Force, with each squad consisting of a squad leader, twelve psionic warriors, and twenty-four psionic soldiers, for a total of thirty-seven people each.

On the Kingfisher side, there were three squadrons stationed in charge of garrisoning all outposts and Temple mines.

Because the establishment system of the Dawn Expeditionary Force is "twelve-decimal system", it is also nicknamed "a dozen armies" in private, and its smallest tactical unit is the "Dawn Squad" and the highest tactical unit is the "Legion". Each Dawn squad consisted of a squad leader with the rank of major or captain, twelve Templars with the rank of second lieutenant or lieutenant (the lowest rank of the Templars was a second lieutenant), twelve combat officers, and twelve logistics officers, for a total of thirty-seven men each.

The twelve Dawn detachments were then organized into an expeditionary squadron, commanded by a squadron leader with the rank of major or lieutenant colonel, a deputy squadron leader, and a staff officer; The twelve squadrons were further organized into an independent group, commanded by a group commander with the rank of colonel or major general, two deputy group leaders, and a chief of staff. Further up, depending on the situation, usually three to six separate brigades are a single corps, but there are also large corps composed of twelve brigades, which are then under the unified command of the "corps combat command".

With the exception of the three squadrons stationed at the Contemplative Fortress, the rest of the Kingfisher Force was stationed at the "Falling Bridge" fortress, 38,000 kilometers below the fortress.

The biggest reason why the Templar Presbyterian Church gave the Contemplative Fortress to You Ge was the completion of the Falling Water Bridge Fortress.

The Contemplative Fortress is a "unilateral fortress" with low strategic value. As the name suggests, a one-sided fortress is a fortress that is built on one side of the cliff alone, and it is impossible to build an approach bridge to connect the other side of the cliff. The temple was originally chosen because there was a spatial rift above the fortress that connected to the "Mirror Sea" plane, and the water flow was extremely large, and as long as it occupied this water source, it could transport domestic water to the subsequent fortresses, so the Contemplative Fortress was also called the "reservoir".

And as the temple grew, the Contemplative Fortress was no longer able to meet their needs for outward expansion. Fifteen years ago, the temple was built on the piers on both sides of the "Falling Water Bridge" in an area close to the cliffs 38,000 kilometers below the fortress.

As for the name of the Sinkwater Bridge, it comes from the waterfall that gushes out of the spatial rift and rushes down three thousand meters above the Contemplative Fortress. Because the turbulent water turns into a continuous mist in the process of falling at high speed, so that the bridge below is hazy and wet all year round, so it is named - falling bridge.

By the middle of last year, when the Falling Water Bridge Fortress was completed and put into use, the Contemplative Fortress was completely transformed into a "chicken rib". The Templar Council of Elders had sealed it off solely for the sake of reducing its budget. This is also why, after receiving the letter of consecration, You Ge's first reaction was to question whether she was the granddaughter of Pope Auguste. The elders seemed kind and gentle, and gave her the best and highest-paid Mithril Mine among them, but in fact they were more cunning than the other, and the Mithril Mine was about to dry up, not only did they have little income, but they also had to deal with the subsequent equipment dismantling work.

However, before coming here, Eva had told Iron Slag that if she came across a suitable mining site, even if it was a mining area to which the temple belonged, she didn't have to worry about it, and just opened it. You Ge is the supreme commander of the Dawn Expeditionary Force, and most of the officers of the First Army are sent by five old nobles, including Modleton, Lombard, Bruno, Gresham, and Crimance, You Ge's control over the First Army is almost equal to her personal army. Not to mention whether there are any officers who will go to the Council of Elders to sue their Supreme Commander, even if the elders know, they will probably pretend not to know. If it weren't for this little convenience, You Ge would have refused to give it a long time ago, and he would have paid and worked hard to maintain a reservoir, which would be either the act of a fool or the act of a madman.

In addition, Eva also made a lot of advice, such as: to repair equipment, to ask the expeditionary force to "help", fuel to the expeditionary force to "borrow", in case of danger to ask the expeditionary force to "assist", and then "don't invite them to eat, don't give them a penny of benefits, they have military ......" and so on. All in all, it is necessary to treat the expeditionary force as a "stupid big man and a big wronged man", eat him, use him, and don't have to give him a good look.

Subsequently, as if he had a heart-to-heart with Assistant Green, Kyle Larkin, the deputy captain of the Kingfisher Force, added after reporting on the garrison: "Our logistics regiment is stationed here, if Lord Iron Slag has any needs for equipment maintenance, fuel supply, etc., please directly order them, they will definitely cooperate fully." ”

"Hmm." Iron Slag nodded, acknowledging and grateful.

Hildebrand Suja then reported on the team's stationing. The Spartan Warriors Regiment was fully assembled, with a total of 95 people, including 17 psionic warriors, 31 marines, 1 field doctor, 3 field nurses, and the rest were logistics personnel.

After reporting on the garrison, Oliver briefly talked about the situation of the investors. There are six investment companies stationed here, the largest of which is "Chimera Venture Capital Co., Ltd." under HH, and the smallest is "Tieshan Town Huangshan Industrial Investment Co., Ltd."

"What! Iron Mountain Town? Iron Slag couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in a lost voice. He had never heard of any other interdimensional companies in Iron Mountain Town, and it was the most shocking news he had heard in all this time.

"You mean ......," Oliver asked, hesitantly, uncertainly, "Iron Mountain Town Barren Mountain Industrial Investment Co., Ltd.?" ”

"Hmm." Iron Slag quickly realized his gaffe, and quickly put away his surprised expression, and instead explained lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that the name is a little strange." ”

"Oh......" Oliver raised his head as if he suddenly realized, but in fact he didn't understand anything, just pretending, so as not to embarrass the new commander, and then he introduced, "This is a newly opened small company, which was only registered at the beginning of the previous year, mainly engaged in high-risk businesses such as mining equipment dismantling, mining disaster rescue, and remote exploration. ”

"Hmm." Iron Slag nodded, and didn't ask any further. Although he was a little curious, now was obviously not the time to understand the situation, anyway, he was the highest governor here, and he would just find an opportunity to ask privately in the future.

After Oliver finished reporting the basic situation of the fortress, Iron Slag glanced at Bai Xiaoyun and motioned for him to tell him about the situation of the abyssal termites. The latter was ordered to step forward and inform everyone of what had happened on the platform before.

After listening to Bai Xiaoyun's narration, Oliver and the other two fell into deep thought. Abyssal termites are one of humanity's greatest plagues in the abyss, and sometimes commanders would rather face an Abyssal Archdemon than a litter of Abyssal Termites. On the one hand, the passage of abyssal termites is too narrow to accommodate human traffic. On the other hand, the roads extend in all directions, and the nests stretch for dozens of kilometers, and it is very difficult to eradicate them. Often, that end has just been extinguished, and this head pops up again, and it's annoying. Explosives can be used on a large scale, but there is a fear that it will cause a large-scale landslide.

After a long silence, seeing that he could not give any effective advice for the time being, Oliver got up and said that the termite plague could not be solved in a day or two, and that it was better to wait for the investigation to come out and then discuss further. And the iron slag has only arrived today, so you should have a good rest.

After Oliver leaves, Kyle and Hildebrand also get up and leave the office. After they left, Bai Xiaoyun found tea sets and tea leaves, boiled hot water, and made a pot of tea for the iron slag. Since people in the Western Continent rarely drink tea, and mostly drink coffee, there are no good teas here, only some medium-quality black teas. However, iron slag has never been very particular, as long as you can drink it and drink it without getting sick.

The two drank tea for a while, and about half an hour later, Jerome, Mu Qianhe, Ju Amu and other three people came up to report that all the personnel of the wolf clan army had settled down.

The three of them retired after reporting, after all, they were in a hurry, and they experienced a life-and-death battle, and they were all a little tired. Before leaving, Tie Slag stopped Mu Qianhe and asked her where she lived. Mu Qianhe's face immediately turned red, and he said that he lived in the women's dormitory area on the third floor of the main fort, which was very convenient. She knew that Iron Slag meant by asking, which was to ask her in disguise if she wanted to live here with him.

Although she was very willing, considering that the identity of Iron Slag was not what it used to be, there were many pairs of eyes watching his every move, and it was necessary to pay attention to his personal appearance. Moreover, this is the territory of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and there are many eyeliners, and it is estimated that the matter between her and the iron slag will soon reach the princess. If the relationship is too intimate, it will definitely cause all kinds of eye redness, not to mention the attitude of the princess, even Eva Green, Mu Yuqinxin and others, it is estimated that they will not let her go easily. And her answer like this is tantamount to a tactful rejection of the invitation of the iron slag. The latter could naturally hear the meaning, waved his hand casually, and let her go.
