Chapter 598: Border Pressure
As a well-known martial arts family on the mainland, the Storm Family has been inherited for hundreds of years, whether it is the Aries Dynasty or the Lionheart Empire. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They don't get involved in the War of Dynasty Change, as they have only one thing to do from start to finish, and that's to defend Stormwind Fortress.
The current head of the Stormwind family, Marquis Campbell, is also a famous general, but he spends more of his energy on defending against the nomads in the north.
During the outbreak of the civil war throughout the Empire, he never left Stormwind Fortress, and he had no interest in fighting within the Empire.
At this point, his son-in-law, that is, the governor of the Obsidian Province, Rode, reached an agreement with him, and Rhodes lived a comfortable life after marriage.
Although the war in the south was in full swing, he had long judged that the empire would decline, and the royal capital had repeatedly recruited obsidian provinces to contribute money and people.
But Rhodes prevaricated for various reasons, and when the Far Eastern Army passed through his defense area in Obsidian Province, he also turned a blind eye.
Speaking of which, he also had some friendship with the young duke, and he and Miss Amer had a newlywed honeymoon, and they also went to the Far East to play.
And the prairie, which has been in turmoil in the north for hundreds of years, has never stopped, and the strife has also stopped and recuperated in that long winter.
This is really jaw-dropping, but only a small number of people know about this news, and the royal capital does not pay attention to it.
Anyway, there is a storm fortress, and those steppe cavalry can't take a step south, so they can only loot some villages on the border or something, so there's no need to worry.
But the situation changed a little with the end of this winter, and the prairie people, who had dealt with Marquis Campbell for most of their lives, were separated.
But the more dangerous enemy is quietly approaching the city, and when he sees that banner, even the battle-hardened Marquis Campbell is a little unbreathable, because he knows what that flag represents, representing the strongest army in the entire continent, and the elven army began to move south!
Although the weather had warmed up, the battle clouds were still thick on the Storm Fortress, and the soldiers continued to carry defensive equipment above the fortress.
"After more than 20 years, the elven army is going south again? With the strength of our Storm Legion alone, there is no way to resist the impact of the elven army, thanks to the support of the orc army, otherwise they will be captured by this elven army in three days at most, they are too powerful!"
Marquis Campbell, who was already over fifty years old, stood on the castle tower, looked at the army that was gathering in the distance, and sighed deeply, his face full of exhaustion.
"Father, no matter how strong they are, we will defend the Storm Fortress and defend the honor of our Storm Family, you can go back and rest for the time being, leave it to me to defend here, their next wave of attacks should wait until tomorrow, you are too hard, you need to sleep well. ”
Amelle was beside her to advise her father that although the Marquis of Campbell looked very strong, he was under a lot of mental pressure.
"That's right, I'll stay here to guard, Lord Marquis, go back and rest first, with the cooperation of the orc army, they won't be able to attack it in a short time." ”
The governor of the Obsidian Province, who was also Amer's husband Rod, also ascended the tower, and he looked at the elven army's military formation from a distance, and the formation was neat.
"The strength of the elven army lies in the help of the elves, this magical creature contains powerful elemental power, which can give the soldiers corresponding characteristics, it is not easy to shake them, thanks to the orc army can help, otherwise once they go south, alas, ......"
Marquis Campbell shook his head, he had seen the horrors of the last elven army going south, and he didn't want history to repeat itself.
"Thanks to us guarding the frontier here, the emperor Rhaegar sent a letter to let us let the elven army enter the fortress and go south, he is clearly luring wolves into the house, the Blue Frost Kingdom has coveted our rich land for a long time, once they are allowed to enter the territory of the empire, will they leave easily?"
Ai Mo'er recalled the secret letter with the royal seal sent not long ago, and her teeth itched with anger, it was a shameful choice to sell her own land.
"More than twenty years ago, it was all under the command of Mr. Nandu that the elven army was expelled from the country, and more than twenty years later...... Alas, who will stand up? Old and old, I really can't care so much, and the only thing I can do is to throw this old bone on this wall. ”
Marquis Campbell sighed, and left the castle in a gloomy manner, looking as if he had aged more than ten years in that instant.
"Does anyone else stand up? I want to say that I can stand up, but I am good at managing internal affairs, and it is really not possible for me to lead troops to fight. ”
Rhodes sighed as he saw Marquis Campbell away, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could repel the attacks of the elves.
"Even if you are a little self-aware, if you rely on us alone, it is true that you will not be able to hold out for a few days, but with the help of the orc army, coupled with the continuous supply of materials from the Far East, as long as you resist the offensive of the elven army, you can delay the war and wait for the return of Duke Lin Ye. ”
Ai Mo'er looked at the orc army resting against the corner of the city tower below, even the strong orcs showed such fatigue, and the combat power of the elf army could be seen.
"I'm your husband anyway, how can you place your hopes on other men, be careful if you say this, I'm jealous, I can tell you. ”
Rhodes was quite dissatisfied with this, and glared at Ai Moer, after calculating that he and Ai Moer have been married for more than three years, and the two have been living a very sweet life.
"You can still endure you, but you are still qualified to be jealous these two times? If you have the ability, why don't you stop working hard, and you will have some results." ”
Amelle tugged at his ear and scolded twice, her fierceness was well-known among the Stormwind Legion, but no one dared to provoke her.
"Anyway, I'm also the local governor, I'm too faceless if you're like this, I'm too shameful, can't you be light, how can I let my subordinates see it?"
Rhodes immediately protested, he was so good at the place that he could refuse even Emperor Rhaegar's orders.
But for his wife, he is spoiled in every way, and he can be regarded as an enviable model couple.
"I don't know what the situation is on the royal capital, if it continues to delay like this, once the storm fortress is breached......"
Amore let go of her hand, deeply worried about the situation of the fortress, and the evening wind rose, blowing the storm banner on the fortress to hunt.
"Don't worry, there won't be this day, that guy is my brother, no matter what kind of problem, he can solve it. ”
Rod smiled and looked at the sky to the south from a distance, but he had to do a good job, and after he got things done there as soon as possible, he would rush to the north.
