The advance was quite smooth, and Kinan could hear good news from the front every day, although he had never sent troops himself. In fact, only a hundred soldiers would not be of much use in such a war of more than 100,000 soldiers.

Every day, from the mouths of those nobles who came back to rest, something could be heard, and it also facilitated Chi Nan's understanding of the front line. Of course, it's not like Chi Nan hasn't done nothing.

In addition to building relationships with those nobles, Chi Nan also gave full play to his role, which was to artificially manufacture some pneumatic cannons. In this place, Chi Nan didn't have much time to study.

A number of pneumatic cannons were spawned every day, which were then supplied to the nobles at the front. It's not a direct sale, and it's in the middle of a war, so it can't be considered a bypass of the royal family. Therefore, this kind of thing can be regarded as a sideline. At the same time, Chi Nan also gained the favor of a large number of nobles through this method.

For Chinan, those nobles were more acceptable. Although Chi Nan said that he was a half-elf, he did look like a human, and unlike ordinary half-elves, he didn't recognize death so much.

This also has something to do with the fact that there are relatively few half-elves in the Ruth Yala Kingdom, so everyone doesn't know much about it.

The advance of the front line was getting smoother and smoother, and when Chi Nan followed the team on the front line for a month, the front was no longer in the territory of Remas, but continued to advance some distance to the north.

After leaving Remas, the farther north began to slowly become desolate. At this moment, there is very little vegetation growing on the ground, and it can even be said that it is somewhat similar to the Gobi. "I really don't know what those berserk beastmen eat to survive in this place. "Chi Nan is very strange to look at this surroundings.

In this kind of environment, the production must be very small, and those wild beastmen are all big stomachs, what do they rely on to survive in this place. The other people around also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's go to the headquarters first, I don't know what the commander is looking for us to do. ”

On this day, the headquarters actually stopped rarely, you know, this headquarters has been moving towards the front for a month. Often, after resting at night, many people have to advance some distance during the day to catch up.

But today, the command has come to an unusual halt, and most of the nobles have returned, which is strange. After entering the headquarters, there are already many nobles waiting here.

After a while, when the nobles had basically arrived, Count Rungen stood up and said, "It seems that everyone has almost arrived, so let's talk about today's topic." ”

"To be honest, after all this period of hard work, we have achieved very significant results, and the beastmen have been driven out by us. To prevent this from happening, we continued to push north, where the orcs had originally lived. It's just that the number of beastmen is a bit more than we imagined. ”

Count Longen asked his subordinates to give a copy of the information to the many nobles.

"As you can see, the number of berserkers is increasing, and if we continue like this, even if we have more powerful weapons, we will be overwhelmed by their crowd tactics, so we have to stop. ”

"And according to our intelligence, these berserkers are constantly heading south, and there are more berserkers gathering here, and we don't know how many berserkers there are. ”

"Count Dragongen is right, we have been dealing with the orcs for so many years, but we still don't know how many orcs there are, and we don't even know how wide their territory is, so we can't continue to advance north. ”

Count Dragongen pressed his hands down and continued: "According to the latest information, most of the berserkers who have been blocked here are migrating to the west, and a few are heading east, so as long as we can hold this place, it's fine. The orcs don't know what's going on, so the meaning above is that we won't be allowed to continue north. ”

"So what are we going to do, it's not easy to stop the orcs. A nobleman said loudly.

Count Longen nodded: "The noble council and the royal family have been discussing this issue for a long time, and according to the information sent from above overnight, the above means that let's build a fortress here to block the berserkers." ”

"There are a total of eighteen locations that we have found suitable for building fortresses, and as long as these eighteen locations are blocked, then it is impossible for the berserkers to go south on a large scale, and at most they will be some fish that have slipped through the net. I don't think these fish will be taken seriously by our elites. ”

Count Longgen glanced around, and the surrounding nobles were seen, either bowing their heads or nodding hurriedly.

"Very well, everyone is good, and in that case, the next thing we need to discuss is who will guard these eighteen fortresses. Until the fortress is built, none of our main corps can retreat. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the royal family has issued an order, and the surrounding area of the fortress is considered a frontier territory, which does not need to be handed over, and belongs to individuals. Even so, no one would open their mouths.

Who can't see that this is not a good place at all, and even if you ask for it, it is useless. Moreover, there are no human settlements here, so it is too difficult to replenish the army. When the time comes, you will have to transfer your own people to this place for defense, and who will build your own territory. Except for Chi Nan, there aren't many people in the other people's territory.

"Then I'll just say, first of all, as an earl, as the commander of this time, so I'll take the lead, and I'll build a fortress in this place. In addition, the time has come for all gentlemen above the rank of earl to be gentlemanly. ”

Hearing Count Longen say this, everyone also understood that this was probably also the meaning of the royal family and the noble council. There is no way, who makes their status high, they can only take over this burden.

Soon, all the counts raised their hands in agreement. "Very well, our ten counts of Remas have agreed, and the Governor who was not present, as a marquis, has already stated that two fortresses will be built. Now of the eighteen fortresses, twelve have been divided, and there are still six left......" Count Longen glanced around.

Even if it's six, it's a lot. After all, the small aristocracy and the big aristocracy are completely different things. Those counts can easily gather tens of thousands of troops, but the viscounts cannot, and it is not bad to be able to take out one or two thousand people.

Baron Mocha was able to set off with three thousand men because of his father's special status.
