Chapter 742: Unrelenting, frightened and afraid
For the Celestial Dragon Empire, if you want to attack the Dark Sun Empire, then the first problem to be solved is undoubtedly the Revenant Fortress. The existence of this fortress can almost be said to have the same importance for the Dark Sun Empire and the Celestial Dragon Empire!
If the Revenant Fortress is in the hands of the Celestial Dragon Empire, then the Celestial Dragon Empire can directly threaten the Screaming Plains, the most important horse-producing area of the Dark Sun Empire, through the fortress of Guò; and once the Revenant Fortress falls into the control of the Dark Sun Empire, then the Shannan Province of the Celestial Dragon Empire will also be directly threatened by the Dark Sun Empire! And the minerals of the Shannan Province are also important resources that cannot be given up for the Celestial Dragon Empire.
And since Her Majesty the Empress Laxis personally recaptured the Revenant Fortress, the Tianlong Empire had to deploy heavy troops in Shannan Province, but this passive defense method not only restrained a large number of elite legions of the Tianlong Empire, but once the two empires officially started a war, the initiative of the war will undoubtedly fall directly into the hands of the Dark Sun Empire!
Such a result is unacceptable to the Celestial Dragon Empire no matter what. In fact, over the years, the Heavenly Dragon Empire has not thought about regaining this fortress, but the geographical location of the Revenant Fortress is too special, coupled with the continuous maintenance and enhancement of the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Dark Sun Empire, today's Revenant Fortress is not much stronger than a hundred years ago!
What's more, it is impossible for the Dark Sun Empire to be unclear about the importance of the Revenant Fortress, so all along, there has always been an elite legion stationed in this fortress. And once the Revenant Fortress is really in danger, the garrison of the Screaming Plains will be able to do so in a very short time. I rushed to help. Therefore, in this case, if the Heavenly Dragon Empire wants to recapture this Revenant Fortress, the difficulty is really not ordinary!
Originally, the Golden Dragon Dragon Family's plan was to take the lead in creating chaos within the Dark Sun Empire, especially the Screaming Plains. It is even more of the most important, as long as there is a problem with the garrison of the Screaming Plains, it is possible for the Celestial Dragon Empire to capture the Revenant Fortress. But I didn't expect that before the plan of the Heavenly Dragon Empire came to fruition, there had already been such a huge change in the country of the Dark Sun Empire, with the strong men of the Revenant Fortress fighting fiercely, and then the legion duel of the Frost Volcano. The Frost Burning Legion was hit hard twice, especially the last time, when the garrison of the Frost Volcano was wiped out.
Although it was not the direct army of the Dark Sun Empire that did it, it was obvious that Yun Lan's actions this time were the same as the royal family of the Dark Sun Empire. In any case, it is absolutely inseparable! As long as you have a little eyesight. It can be seen that without the support of the Dark Sun Empire's royal family, the army of 50,000 people under Yun Lan's command would not even be able to land in the Eternal Night Harbor, let alone rush thousands of miles to attack the Frost Volcano.
And now. The Frost Burning Legion garrison of the Frost Volcano has indeed been completely wiped out, but in the Revenant Fortress, the Frost Burning Legion still has a strong army left! Although in the fierce battle not long ago, this army has lost many Legendary Realm powerhouses. However, the overall strength of this army has not been greatly affected, and it still has quite good combat effectiveness, whether it is the Heavenly Dragon Empire or the Dark Sun Empire, it is impossible to despise this army a little.
For the Celestial Dragon Empire, now is definitely an opportunity, a great opportunity to recapture the Revenant Fortress! Of course, it is not a direct attack on the Revenant Fortress, even if the morale of the Frost Burning Legion has decreased now, but this Revenant Fortress is definitely not a Heavenly Dragon Empire that can be easily attacked.
The idea of the Celestial Dragon Empire is to simply find a way to directly counter the Frost Burning Legion! Since it can't be defeated hard, then simply turn the enemy into a friend, anyway, with the battle of the Frost Volcano, the current Frost Burning Legion and the royal family of the Dark Sun Empire, I'm afraid it has almost completely broken up, right? Since the Frost Burning Legion has no reason to fight for the Dark Sun Empire again, it seems that it is not impossible to persuade them to join the Celestial Dragon Empire.
The idea is good, but the reality is often not as good as it could be. The leader of the Frost Burning Legion, with almost no hesitation, directly refused the surrender of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. And after receiving the news from the Frost Volcano, the Revenant Fortress immediately began to prepare for intense battles. As for whether the next target of the Frost Burning Legion is the Screaming Plains or the Shannan Province, even the Heavenly Dragon Empire itself is not sure at this moment.
In fact, it is really not surprising that the Frost Burning Legion will refuse the surrender of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, you know, after losing the foundation of the Frost Volcano, the Revenant Fortress can now be said to be the last base of the Frost Burning Legion, if even this place is lost, then the Frost Burning Legion may really become a rootless duckweed.
The commander of the Frost Burning Legion, of course, also knows that surrounded by the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Dark Sun Empire, the current situation of the Frost Burning Legion can definitely be said to be very thrilling. But because of this, whether it was the Heavenly Dragon Empire or the Dark Sun Empire, unless they were sure that they could take down the Revenant Fortress cleanly in a very short period of time, otherwise, they would definitely not dare to act rashly now.
Otherwise, no matter which side the Frost Burning Legion throws to, for the other side, the consequences will definitely be catastrophic! In fact, the legion commander has not thought about simply surrendering to the Heavenly Dragon Empire in order to take revenge on the Dark Sun Empire, but as a warlord who has been in a semi-independent state for a long time, as long as he is not really at the last moment of desperation, he will never hand over his fate to others lightly!
What's more, the current Eri Continent is undergoing an unprecedented upheaval, for the Frost Burning Legion, this may not be an opportunity, as long as it can survive in the gap between the Dark Sun Empire and the Heavenly Dragon Empire, one day, the Frost Burning Legion may not have a chance to rise again!
Of course, the reason why the commander of the Frost Burning Legion had the confidence to directly refuse the surrender of the Heavenly Dragon Empire was mainly because the defense system of the Revenant Fortress was too perfect. And now the Revenant Fortress. Whether it is against the Shannan Province or the Screaming Plains, it can be said that there is no weakness in the defense of Zài, coupled with the strong army of the Frost Burning Legion, the current Revenant Fortress can definitely be called it. Truly impregnable!
The wishful thinking of the Frost Burning Legion is really good, even if the surrender is refused, the Heavenly Dragon Empire really doesn't care about obvious excesses, because the current Frost Burning Legion is undoubtedly definitely a wounded beast, and it is also the kind of tragic beast that has lost his wife and his house has been robbed again! Even if it is the Heavenly Dragon Empire, it is absolutely unwilling. At such a time, fight to the end with the Frost Burning Legion.
As for the Dark Sun Empire, since it has successfully weakened the Frost Burning Legion with the help of Yun Lan, since the two sides have not really completely turned their faces now, if they want to come to the Dark Sun Empire Royal Family, there should not be any radical actions for the time being.
It must be said that the judgment of this corps commander. Quite accurate indeed, but there is an important key point. But he left it out. Although the royal family of the Dark Sun Empire did not make any moves, it did not mean that the Frost Burning Legion could really sit back and relax when they were in the Revenant Fortress!
The Frostburn Legion had just subdued the other garrisons in the Revenant Fortress, and they hadn't yet been able to complete their reorganization. I suddenly received a message that made all the soldiers of the Frost Burning Legion shocked and angry.
The army that had wiped out the remaining troops of the Frost Burning Legion at the Frost Volcano had taken a short break to recuperate. They have already set out again and set off towards the Revenant Fortress, and now, this army is about to enter the Screaming Plains, and their purpose this time is already self-evident.
Not only the Frost Burning Legion of the Revenant Fortress, but also the entire Eri Continent, the vast majority of people who are paying attention to this incident, I am afraid, did not expect that the great battle of the Frost Volcano was not really over, but only a beginning! From the beginning, the real goal of this army has probably always been the entire Frost Burning Legion, not just the remaining force of the Frost Volcano.
But it's no wonder that after the initial shock and astonishment, many people who know something about the fierce battle in the Revenant Fortress don't think that there is anything strange about the behavior of this army. Everyone knows that behind this legion, there is no doubt that it is definitely the Sword God Yunfeng. Since the Frost Burning Legion dared to frame that Sword God Lord in the Revenant Fortress, even if they were only targeting a demigod-level incarnation, such an act was absolutely unbearable for a god, especially a powerful high-level god!
In the eyes of these people, the army led by Yun Lan was obviously here for revenge, just to eliminate the garrison of the Frost Burning Legion in the Frost Volcano, how could it be possible to eliminate the anger of this god? It seems that this time, even if the Frost Burning Legion is immortal, I am afraid that it will have to be ruthlessly peeled off!
With the continuous approach of the Qinglan Legion, whether it was the major forces in the Dark Sun Empire or the army of the Shannan Province of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, they all disappeared for the time being, and they were very honest. It's not that they are really afraid of Yunlan's army, whether it is the Heavenly Dragon Empire or the other warlords in the Dark Sun Empire, they are actually happy to see the unfinished war between the Qinglan Legion and the Frost Burning Legion.
But for the Frost Burning Legion, this is not good news, Yun Lan's arrival, in the Revenant Fortress, immediately caused a panic, no one thought that just after a big battle, Yun Lan actually took this army so quickly, and once again aimed at the Revenant Fortress. If it was just the remnant army after the Frost Volcano War, maybe the Frost Burning Legion of the Revenant Fortress wouldn't care too much, but the problem was that after a short period of recuperation, the army under Yun Lan not only regained its strength, but also doubled its total number all at once, directly increasing to the scale of 100,000 people!
You must know that the army of only 50,000 people had completely wiped out the Frost Burning Legion garrison of the Frost Volcano before, and now among the Revenant Fortresses, not counting the garrisons that have just been recruited, the real elite of the Frost Burning Legion is actually only a little over 100,000 people! Moreover, the Frost Burning Legion in the Revenant Fortress is actually not much stronger in terms of combat effectiveness than the remaining troops of the Frost Volcano, or rather, it is just the same level.
Before Yun Lan, since he was able to completely wipe out the elite troops of the 100,000 people of the Frost Burning Legion with a mere 50,000 people, now. The army under Yun Lan's command has increased to 100,000 people, and with the same strength, no matter how you look at it, the Frost Burning Legion doesn't seem to have any chance of winning, right?
For the Frostburn Legion, their biggest reliance right now. I'm afraid there is only a strong defense system in the Revenant Fortress. If it were replaced by other enemies, even if it was the top elite legion of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, the Frost Burning Legion would be absolutely confident that it would be able to rely on these 100,000 elites to easily repel more than three times the elite troops of the opponent. If it weren't for that, the leader of the Frost Burning Legion, who would not have been able to have such confidence before, would simply refuse the surrender of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
But now. This legion commander really had a kind of ridiculous thought in his heart, if only he had agreed to the surrender of the Heavenly Dragon Empire before. Of course, it is impossible for the Frost Burning Legion to surrender lightly, and this idea is just a fleeting thought, but even the Legion Commander has such an idea, in fact, it is not difficult to see that the Frost Burning Legion is up and down. For Yun Lan, and the army under her command. How scared have you been?
In other words, this is no longer just a simple fear, in the hearts of many soldiers of the Frost Burning Legion, there is actually a certain fear of Yunlan's army. For others, the Revenant Fortress. It may indeed be an insurmountable natural risk, but for Yun Lan, such a statement may not really be true. You know, this Fortress of the Revenant. Although this was a hundred years ago, as the remaining troops of the Revenant Fortress, especially those who had personally participated in the second battle to capture the Revenant Fortress, the Frost Burning Legion knew even more clearly how difficult it was to capture this fortress, and how terrible it was for Yun Lan to be able to do this!
The defense of the Revenant Fortress is indeed unparalleled, but as the lair of the Frost Burning Legion, the defense system of the Frost Volcano is also not weak! But even so, Yun Lan still only used 50,000 troops to successfully capture the foundation of the Frost Burning Legion, the Frost Volcano, and also wiped out the remaining troops of the Frost Volcano in one go, a full 100,000 elite of the Frost Burning Legion!
Not to mention anything else, Yun Lan's ability to attack fortifications is absolutely undoubted, although this Revenant Fortress has been constantly repaired and strengthened in the past hundred years, it can be said that the current Revenant Fortress and defensive capabilities are not the same concept at all compared to a hundred years ago.
But even so, can this Revenant Fortress really withstand Yun Lan's attack? At least the Frost Burning Legion doesn't have a definite answer in their hearts now. But the matter has come to this point, even if the Frost Burning Legion wants to retreat, it has already had no way to retreat, not to mention that the current Revenant Fortress has become their last foundation place, just the special geographical environment of the Revenant Fortress makes the Frost Burning Legion have no way to retreat!
On one side is the Screaming Plains of the Dark Sun Empire, not only are the elite legions of the Dark Sun Empire stationed, but Yun Lan and her army will also come soon; as for the other side, the Shannan Province of the Heavenly Dragon Empire also has a large number of elite legions stationed, and the number is even more than that of the Screaming Plains! After all, the Heavenly Dragon Empire is on the defensive side, so it is natural to deploy more troops in the Shannan Province.
Although the combat power of the Frost Burning Legion is strong, it is almost impossible to break through no matter which direction it takes, so at the moment, it seems that the only way for the Frost Burning Legion to defend the Revenant Fortress is to go. If he can successfully repel Yun Lan's army, then naturally needless to say, whether it is the Dark Sun Empire or the Heavenly Dragon Empire, they will definitely not dare to be a little contemptuous of the Frost Burning Legion. But if it is defeated, then the Frost Burning Legion will really have no way out, and it may even fall apart completely.
"Why don't we just surrender to the Heavenly Dragon Empire?" In the Revenant Fortress, one of the high-ranking generals of the Frost Burning Legion in the magic tower, said with palpitations.
The other generals, many of them were also silent at this time, with their status and status, it was really difficult to say in person if they surrendered, but the current situation of the Frost Burning Legion was indeed at a critical juncture of life and death, to be honest, among these high-ranking generals present, there were really not many people who were completely sure that they could repel Yun Lan's upcoming attack.
After a long silence, he finally angered the legion commander who was sitting on the top position, and slapped his palm on the hard stone table, the legion commander glanced around coldly, and finally stood up slowly, but his tone was extremely cold: "Surrender? The Frost Burning Legion has not yet reached the point of being cornered! Thinking about surrendering now? You are really impatient!"
"Do you think that the Heavenly Dragon Empire is really so easy to talk to? Don't forget, how many elite legions are there in the Heavenly Dragon Empire now, these elite legions, but they have all experienced bloody battles, even if they are compared to our Frost Burning Legion, how can they be inferior? Now surrender to the Heavenly Dragon Empire, do you really think you can keep your current position?"
Many generals couldn't help but bow their heads, but the corps commander obviously didn't intend to let them go like this.
"Even if we really gain a firm foothold in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, don't forget, what happened to the Qinglong Yun family and the Silver Dragon Feng family back then!" (To be continued......)
