Wolf's heart, the king's capital fangs.

The city, which had been sacked by the Church, has not yet recovered, and from the top of the castle you can see that many of the streets and alleys of the outer city are in ruins. But it was much luckier than the Broken Tooth Fort, which had been poisoned by evil diseases, at least not like the latter, and could still see piles of rotting corpses in wells and drains.

A few months ago, this was the domain of the Fangs family, a branch of the royal family, and Iron Axe ignored the struggle between Fangs, Tolkien, and Redstone Gate in order to evacuate the people of small towns and villages first, and then deal with the nobles, but the sudden appearance of Red Mist forced him to make adjustments. After all, no matter how down-and-out Fangs City is, it is still one of the best hub cities in the heart of the wolf, and it is also connected to the north-south arteries, so that the team evacuated by land in Yongdong can smoothly enter the safe area.

There was nothing worth mentioning during the battle, and even without the support of the fortress artillery, he temporarily mobilized five squads totaling 500 people, and used mortars and anti-devil grenades to knock open the fangs fort and the fangs with thick walls. Its lord Hibcock was named by the precision marksman when he stepped forward to supervise the battle, and the final counterattack collapsed before it could be launched, and the remaining nobles surrendered, and one of the three forces of the wolf's heart was destroyed.

As the first person in the military to follow Roland from the first battle in Frontier Town, Iron Axe is the one who has the clearest understanding of the speed of Winterless's strength increase, five years ago they were still fighting back and forth with Duke Changge, and now as long as His Majesty is willing, it will not be a problem for the First Army to penetrate any kingdom.

It can be said that their growth has been far behind others, and they are no longer on the same level as those nobles.

But that doesn't make him feel a little lighthearted or complacent.

The greater the difference, the more he realized how staggering the overall gap between humans and demons was.

Faced with the devil supported by the red mist, the First Army could barely gain a foothold in Eternal Winter, and every day troops retreated back to the heart of the wolf, and the casualty reports were never interrupted. In the absence of a permanent defensive line, the enemy's ability to advance and pursue made the detachments unguarded, and there was intelligence that the enemy had suddenly appeared on several occasions in the way of retreat, which had been confirmed to be safe after repeated reconnaissance.

This passive situation will undoubtedly have a negative impact on morale, and the easiest way to deal with it is to immediately transfer all the personnel back to the area around Langshan to rest, but Iron Axe knows that orders and tasks are above all else, since His Majesty needs the population, it is impossible for him to withdraw all his troops because of the fear of casualties.

Then the only way left is to fight back.

Clenched their fists with all their strength and struck the devil in the face! Only in this way can their unscrupulous pursuit be suspended and the evacuation troops can be breathless.

The location he chose to block was Fangs.

"The devil's defenses seem to be waning. Brian said, holding up his lookout glass. Since His Majesty began to mobilize troops, he rushed to Shenchi Bay from the extreme south with his first fleet, and with him 1,500 Mojin warriors. This is also the first Sand Civilian unit in the history of Grey Fort to be recruited in an integrated form.

"It started on the border of Yongdong. The Iron Axe nodded, "Edith is right, the devil built the obelisk on the ridge of the continent is a double-edged sword. It is hidden, but it also hinders them from going south. ”

Looking north from the top of the castle tower, you can see the bloody clouds between heaven and earth. It was the spreading red mist, which had now crossed the dividing line between Eternal Winter and the Wolf's Heart, and was slowly pressing towards Fangs City.

The city below the clouds is the Wolfheart's Jinshui Town, which has been shrouded in red mist for more than half of the time, but there is still no trace of the "fortress-type freak beast". There are also very few dinosaurs hovering in the sky, as if forgotten by the devil.

At the beginning of the red mist, this would have been almost impossible.

After this period of fighting, the General Staff already has a general understanding of the devil's line of action.

In a sense, they coincide with His Majesty Roland's strategic intentions, which are to control more human cities and drive humans to work for them, so that the First Army that evacuates the population will be their priority target.

In order to encroach on human territory as quickly as possible, they tend to take the initiative and use fortress-type freaks to create small areas of red fog, allowing their troops to move quickly from one location to another like frogs, and attack the city before the red mist arrives.

However, when most of the land of the Eternal Winter Kingdom fell into the hands of the devil, their advance speed slowed down significantly. This shows that with the expansion of the territory, the enemy is already a little too busy.

This is also easy to understand from a situational point of view.

It takes time to coerce humans and build camps, and in the case of a shortage of manpower, the larger the territory, the fewer troops can be flexibly mobilized. Another key point is that the Devils do not yet need to assemble their main forces to fight against the humans, and with sufficient logistics, they can rely on small forces to pose a lethal threat to the evacuated First Army detachments, and the deployment of large armies is more than enough.

Therefore, from the beginning of the Yongdong border, the frequency of the enemy's forward operations has been much less, or they have not reduced the total number of people invested in the attack, but at this moment, the contact surface between the red mist and the mainland has been stretched from the initial "one point" to the current "line" of hundreds of kilometers, and it is impossible to cover all aspects without a large increase in troops.

The Iron Axe was keenly aware of this.

"My lord, all the 'goods' from Neverwinter have been delivered outside Fangs. A soldier ran up to the tower and saluted.

"It's finally here!" he snapped up, turning to Brian and said, "Come with me." ”

......

When the group came out of the city, they saw that the open space at the gate of the city was filled with hundreds of iron buckets, which were about half a man high, a cubit wide, and round in appearance, and could not find a single opening in the upper and lower parts of the body.

"My lord, this is ...... What?" said Brian, circling around one of the barrels, momentarily puzzled. If it's a container, there's got to have an open handle......, right? Actual combat has proved that the efficiency of fixed explosives is far less than that of cannons, and it is too impractical to rely on them to defeat the devil.

He pushed it with his hand, and found that the bucket was not moving, it was clearly full of things, and it was extremely heavy. It is not an easy task to carry these hundreds of iron drums to the front line, and they must not be inconsequential when it is worth such a precious amount of capacity.

"Your Majesty came up with a new idea, but during the test, you were still in the extreme south to expand the territory for Your Majesty, and it is normal to not know," Iron Axe smiled, "These iron buckets are the protagonists of this blocking strategy, if the effect is really as ideal as in the test, then even if it is a sports battle, we can fight the devil by surprise!"
