On the west side of Fanxin Lake, Thundering Mountain, in the Thundering Fortress. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the council chamber of the fortress, a red-haired man in his 50s sits above the council chamber, the commander of the garrison of the Thundering Fortress, Duke Dulaika Pars, and below Duke Dulaika sit four generals of the royal army.

"Carmeno, what is the movement of the 100,000 Bretan army south of the fortress?" Duke Dulaika looked at a brown-haired general sitting on the left, a royal general named Cameno, who served as the defense officer of the Thundering Fortress.

"Lord Duke, the 100,000 Brettan troops south of the fortress are quiet, they have been stationed south of Thundering Mountain for two months, but they have never launched any attack on Thundering Fortress. Carmeno replied.

"Haha, the Thundering Fortress is built in the steep Thundering Mountain, even if the Bretan people send a million troops over, it is useless, how dare this 100,000 people attack the fortress. A brown-haired general sitting in the council chamber said with a smile.

"General Vesey is right, it is impossible for the Bretans to break through the Thundering Fortress from the front, not to mention that there are 50,000 defenders in our fortress, even if it is 5,000 defenders, don't think about climbing this Thundering Mountain if you keep them. Another yellow-haired general, named Bitley, also laughed.

Bitley and Vesy were both subordinates of the Thundering Fortress's defense officer Cameno, and this time the Bretan army attacked the Kingdom of Gilgias, and in order to hold the defense line of Van Heart Lake, King Landry sent his uncle, Duke Duraica, to the Thundering Fortress as a commander.

Duke Dulaika, who was sitting above the council chamber, glanced at Visy and Bitley, "You all know about the territory armies of the three cities of Tieliu City, Jade Mountain City, and Ziyang City being defeated by the Brettans in the Sky Dome Mountains. Dulaika began.

"Lord Duke, the territorial army of these three cities is too useless, the army of 70,000 horses has been defeated by a long-distance Bretan army..."

"General Vesey, this Bretan army is led by the famous general of the Bretan Army, Lieton, and Emmons Gerry, the son of the Lord of Ironstream, is frivolous and impatient, and has fallen for the strategy of the 'Winged Tiger' Lydon in the Cardinal Forest. A white-haired general, seated below the fortress's defense officer, Carmenor, spoke up as Ness, the youngest of the four royal generals in the council chamber.

"I heard that not only was Emmons Gerry, the commander of the Ironstream City Territory Army, too aggressive, but also the fact that the commander of the Jade Mountain City Territory Army, Maramo, was timid enough to abandon his allies and flee was also the reason for the rout. Said the fortress's defense officer, Carmeno.

"No matter who caused the battle in the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range, in short, this Brettan army has already crossed the Sky Dome Mountain Range and is coming towards the defense line of Fanxin Lake, according to the time, this Brettan army of more than 50,000 people should have arrived at the defense line of Fanxin Lake in these two days. Duke Dulaika, who was sitting above, said in a deep voice with his hands on his chest.

"I don't know which fortress this Bretan army will choose to attack. The defense officer, Carmenor, looked at Duke Duraika and said, "What kind of turmoil can an army of 50,000 people withstand? In the east of the Red Flame Fortress there are 200,000 royal troops under the command of His Majesty the King, I don't think they will be stupid enough to attack the Thundering Fortress on our side." Vesy snorted.

"If they dare to come to Thundering Mountain, then we will let them understand what it means to be a husband and a wife, and make sure to beat these Bretans crying and crying mothers..."

"General Vicey, General Bitley, we must not be too careless, there is still a 100,000-strong Bretan army to the south of our fortress, and if Lieton leads his army from the north at that time, the Bretans will attack the Thundering Fortress on both sides..."

"We can handle it as well, General Nice, you have only just arrived in the Thundering Fortress, and you may not know how strong the Thundering Fortress is, not only strong, but the roads of the Thundering Mountains are narrow, the mountains are steep, and the large siege equipment cannot be transported in, and the Bretan army is simply unable to carry out a comprehensive and effective attack on the fortress. General Vesy taught the junior general.

"Ness has a point, Visey, Beatley, you must not be careless, from now on, all the soldiers in the fortress must patrol the walls on the north and south sides, Carmeno, Visy, you two with 30,000 troops to defend the south side of the fortress, Nice, Bitley, you two with 20,000 soldiers to garrison the north side of the fortress, whether or not Lieton will lead the army to attack the fortress, we must be foolproof. Duke Dulaika, who was sitting above, got up and ordered.

"Yes, Lord Duke. The four generals of the royal army below stood up and saluted at the same time, and even the arrogant and arrogant Vicie was full of awe for Duke Dulaika.

Dhuleka Pars was the half-brother of the late King Bones, who had five brothers, all of whom were dukes and had their own domains, and it was good to live in their own territories if they did not become kings.

Dulaika also has her own territory, but Dulaika does not live a comfortable and happy life in the territory like those brothers, Dulaika has always helped her brother Boines deal with the affairs of the Kingdom of Gilgias, loyalty, diligence, not only to his brother, Dulaika to the current king, his nephew Landry also retains absolute loyalty, and has high respect for this uncle, Landry Pars, King of Gilgias, who has worked for the Kingdom of Gilgia for most of his life. ――――――――――

Three days later, on the mountain road north of Thundering Mountain, more than 200 war horses were driving slowly on the rugged mountain road, and these war horses were dragging heavy sacks on their backs, and the sacks were filled with grain and grass.

Since the Thundering Fortress was built on the Thundering Mountain, the grain and grass of the 50,000 Kyrgynian defenders in the Thundering Fortress were transported to the fortress by horses from the bottom of the mountain, and people had to be sent to the bottom of the mountain every other month to transport a batch of grain and grass.

On the north wall of the fortress, two generals, Ness and Bitley, who were in charge of guarding the north wall, stood on the wall, "Argyll has brought back the grain and grass. Bitley said with a smile as he looked at the long line of grain in the mountain road.

"Well, go and tell the people below to open the floodgates. Ness turned to the herald next to him and said, "Yes, General." The herald ran under the walls of the fortress.

"Quack, rattle..." As the heavy iron chains rolled up, the heavy steel gate under the northern wall of the fortress was raised, and the horse team carrying grain and grass entered the thundering fortress.
