Chapter 111: Maple Leaf Fortress (Part II)
When Wood and Wang Xiaotian arrived at Maple Leaf Fortress, it already had a warlike atmosphere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Maple Leaf Fortress is worthy of the name of the fortress.
In an era when large-scale air operations cannot be popularized, the most advantageous advantage in ground warfare is the advantage of terrain.
Maple Leaf Fortress, located at the junction of the main commercial routes, is flanked on both sides by a near-Jedi and frequented by merchants every year, and to ensure its safety, the walls of the fortress are inlaid with expensive magical metal, the moat hides various magical traps, and since its construction, the walls that even giants cannot climb have become its symbol.
Hundreds of years ago, the original intention of the construction of this maple fortress was to prevent the orcs from counterattacking, in that era, the activities of the orcs were still very frequent, especially the pig-headed people, ko-headed people and other super-fertile orcs, almost every winter, the terrifying orc frenzy began to fight back against the human kingdom, but with the defeat of that legendary battle, the orcs fell into a strange trough period.
The gold-level orcs have almost disappeared, and more and more orc tribes have moved into the Great Wilderness, and the orcs have given people the feeling that this race is gradually withdrawing from the stage of the continent over the years.
You must know that hundreds of years ago, orcs were still one of the great problems of mankind, and the Duchy of Violet was established to suppress the orcs.
At this time, when Wang Xiaotian led the ink blade to arrive at the Maple Leaf Fortress, he felt the strength of the former orcs.
This fortress gathers nearly one-third of the troops in the west, and in the fortress that is naturally prepared for war, there are nine large mage towers and more than 20 medium-sized mage towers, especially in the direction of the great wilderness, the city wall is densely packed with all kinds of human war weapons.
It is such an iron-like fortress, which once resisted the counterattack of the orcs, and even the legendary "Beamon Beast" was lost under this wall, and in that war, this fortress held on for nearly half a year and finally fell.
One can imagine how tough the orcs were at that time.
......
Walking into this fortress, after hundreds of years of painstaking management, Wang Xiaotian can still vaguely feel the iron-blooded atmosphere of the city during the war years.
But there's no denying it.
With the development of trade routes in recent years, as well as the influx of a large number of merchants, this fortress has also begun to be filled with the atmosphere of commerce, the Ink Blade Army, such an orc army, in the past, it was impossible to get close to this fortress ten kilometers, but now, Wang Xiaotian is grandiosely leading this army to be stationed outside the city.
When the Ink Blade Army was arranged by the internal members of the fortress to his station, Wang Xiaotian observed several nearby troops and felt very surprised.
He actually saw a lot of non-human armies!
In the eastern camp of the Ink Blade Army, a group of orcs were stationed.
Orcs, this is a race in an awkward position.
They are neither accepted by humans nor treated by orcs.
Humans regard them as lowly mongrels, because in the human kingdom orcs are often slaves, so when humans and orcs have descendants, it is destined for tragedy.
The orcs regard these people as a disgrace, because the appearance of orcs often means blood and tears of orcs, and of course, there are many orcs who show pity for these somewhat tragic races.
However, the situation of the orcs in this world is very awkward, in the west, they often wander in the form of tribes, there is no fixed territory, and the battle orcs in the wilderness will not accept them, so this race often means barbarism and raiding.
And at this moment, there was an army of half-orcs stationed next door to Wang Xiaotian.
And to the west of the Ink Blade Army, barbarians were stationed.
Barbarian.
This is a race in the north of life, but there are also some barbarians in the original wilderness, they are born with special bloodline strength, therefore, they are not regarded as the same race by mainstream humans, and this race is also extremely rare.
On the first day of Wang Xiaotian's arrival, he saw a group of barbarians returning from outside, as if they had gone to hunt in the wilderness, one by one burly barbarians, with strange totems painted on their bodies, the group of barbarians were wearing leather armor and scimitars around their waists, and they looked like they had begun to take on the rudiments of an army.
What surprised Wang Xiaotian the most was that there was actually a human mercenary group not far from them.
You must know that since Wang Xiaotian's army is orcs, the place where they are arranged is some distance away from the army of human nobles.
Coupled with the fact that there are all inhuman armies in this vicinity, it is surprising that there is a group of human mercenaries stationed in such an "inhuman area".
Since the Ink Blade Army had just arrived at the Maple Leaf Fortress, Wang Xiaotian didn't have too much contact with a few neighbors.
But this is undoubtedly good news for Ink Blade.
This shows that there are many other racial forces that are rising outside of the human realm.
None of the alien races that can participate in this game are simple, they must also have extraordinary combat power or expertise, just like the Gray Stone Alliance, which is the qualification that Wang Xiaotian obtained after killing a golden powerhouse.
On the other hand, it is believed that orcs and barbarians must also have strong strength.
The discovery of an alien race with the same strong combat power is a surprise for Wang Xiaotian, at least the Greystone Alliance is not alone, there are other races struggling besides the orcs, that is to say, even if the Greystone Alliance rises in the Great Wilderness one day, it is not abrupt, therefore, many forces are developing.
As the saying goes, "the gun shoots the first bird".
What Wang Xiaotian is most afraid of is that there is only one foreign race in the country of Violet, which is very detrimental to the development of the Graystone Alliance, after all, human beings are xenophobic, "If you are not my race, your heart will be different" is not just talking.
Now I know that there are orcs, barbarians, and many unknown forces in Violet's sphere of influence, and the Greystone Alliance is only one of them, so that the alliance has room to fish in troubled waters.
......
Just a few days after Wang Xiaotian and the others arrived at the Maple Leaf Fortress, another army arrived here one after another.
The armies of the nobility were stationed not far from the alien quarters.
From a distance, there are flags covering the sky, the camps are continuous, and it looks like the army is huge, and the military appearance faintly coming out of some of the camps is by no means ordinary conventional troops. Dozens of troops were stationed together, and the vast camp, as well as the shouts of army training, really shocked some people.
Looking at this huge lineup, Wang Xiaotian truly realized the strong combat power of the troll army.
"Trolls......" Wang Xiaotian sighed leisurely.
You know, in the past, orcs were more powerful than trolls, but now just a troll legion, or a crippled army in the Northland, makes the entire west like a great enemy. And as the strongest orc of the alien race in the past, he once shook the entire western countries and destroyed countless powerful races, and now there are three or two kittens, which really makes Wang Xiaotian feel complicated.
