Sunset Fortress. Vertices M. updates the fastest

In front of the city gate, Xia Zuo was dressed in bright armor, and his cloak as red as blood swayed in the wind.

He looked at the horizon with his eyes like torches, his brows almost furrowed. Just a few days ago, he received a letter from the Empire, the Great Prince Yaduros is rushing here, calculate the time, the Great Prince's team should arrive today.

This is not good news, Xia Zuo sighed secretly.

In order to avoid the matter being exposed, he hid the werewolf army deep in the mountains, but in this way, he could not defend himself against the orc army.

Especially now that the Third Legion of the Bloodroar Empire is assembling for Sunset Keep, one of the most elite armies of the Orcs, each of whom has been battle-hardened. Without a fearless and ferocious werewolf force, he didn't even know how to defend himself. Could it be that those rookies sent by various nobles to make up the numbers? Forget it, Xia Zuo shook his head, he didn't want to be wiped out.

"Is that the army of the Great Prince?" said a general behind Xia Zuo. Vertex updates the fastest

Xia Zuo retracted his thoughts and looked into the distance, where a convoy was approaching, but he couldn't make out the flags on the carriage because of the distance.

"That's right. After a short silence, Xia Zuo said in a low voice, his gaze resting on the approaching convoy. Gradually, he finally saw the banner embroidered with moon flowers and eagles.

Xia Zuo put away his worried brows, and an unnatural smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

When the convoy approached, Xia Zuo and several generals behind him knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads respectfully.

At the same time, the royal carriage, pulled by four horses, stopped, and an old man who looked like a butler came to the front of the carriage and opened the door.

"Is it there?" Aduros rubbed his eyes and glared at the glare of the sun, "It's hot." He grumbled, and dismounted from the carriage with the help of two guards.

It was so boring during this time that he slept almost day and night. Vertex updates the fastest

Xia Zuo raised his head and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw another old man coming down from the carriage, which made him feel a little unbelievable. However, now is not the time to be stunned, Xia Zuo looked at the Great Prince, "Your Royal Highness, Honorable Great Prince, the commander of the Sunset Fortress greets you. ”

"Don't be like this, General Xia Zuo, you are now my teacher. With that, Aduros stepped forward and helped Xia Zuo up. He was silent for a while, looked the other party up and down, and then said with concern: "Oh, dear General Xia Zuo, you have lost a lot of weight than when you were in the imperial capital. It seems that you put a lot of effort into fighting the orcs. After a pause, Aduros said with a smirk, "No wonder you were able to repel the Seventh Legion of Orcs. ”

"Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness, it is the duty of every soldier to fight bloodily. Xia Zuo bowed.

"The duties of a soldier are well said. Yaduros nodded, "Looks like I'll be able to learn a lot this time." Apex M. is the fastest," he said, patting Xia Zuo on the shoulder, "Let's go, take me to visit the Sunset Fortress." ”

Along the somewhat steep stone steps, Shazo climbed the city wall with Aduros and hundreds of accompanying guards.

Along the way, Shazo introduces Yaduros to the history of Sunset Fortress and the ancient defense equipment, trying to fit into his role as a teacher.

From time to time, Xia Zuo's gaze would also sweep over the old magician who was wearing a black ** robe, using his staff as a crutch, and was a little rickety, very curious about the origin of the other party. The status of a magician is indeed noble, but that is for a powerful magician, the old man's magic power fluctuations are not strong, probably in the seventh or eighth star, if this is the only thing, the eldest prince will never let the old man get into the carriage.

"Hello, General. At this moment, Albert, disguised as an old man, spoke, "May I ask you something?"

"Oh, I just...... Uh, whatever you want, yes, whatever you want. Apex.Fastest update" Xia Zuo shrugged his shoulders and said embarrassedly, then looked at Yaduros, "His Royal Highness, where did we just go?"

"His name is Alan, a magician, and a wise old man. Yaduros didn't answer Shazo, looked at Albert, and said with a smile. "He had done me a great favor, and he was too old to withstand the exertion of walking and the bumps of horseback. His gaze was like a torch, as if he could see through Xia Zuo's heart.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm just curious. Xia Zuo hurriedly apologized.

"It's nothing, I'm not that stingy, and I'm your student now. Yaduros smiled and patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder, "Let's continue." ”

※※※

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

The Third Legion of Orcs was about to be assembled, and Xia Zuo became more and more anxious.

In fact, yesterday, the commander of the Third Legion, Johnson Bloody Hand, had already "visited" Sunset Fortress, but Xia Zuo did not face it.

He withstood the onslaught of the orcs in the face of his well-armed defenders, but it was only temporary, and once the Third Legion was assembled, the Sunset Fortress without werewolves would fall. To make matters worse, he not only has to withstand the onslaught of the orcs, but also has to deal with the more difficult Grand Prince. Yesterday, the eldest prince asked him: Why don't you meet the orc army, do you have to wait until the third legion is assembled?

He didn't answer and couldn't answer.

Rubbing his temples, Natsuzo got up from the bed and changed into heavy plate armor.

Today won't be easy either, he knows the orcs, those stubborn guys will never give up, especially after taking advantage.

"Damn it. Xia Zuo scolded, vented the sulk in his heart, and walked out of the room. Then he went straight to the wall, and the great prince Adulus had been waiting for a long time.

"General Xiazuo, you finally woke up, the orcs are much more punctual than you. Yaduros walked over and said with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I lost sleep last night. Xia Zuo said apologetically, and then looked at the orc army below, compared to the previous Seventh Legion, the orc warriors of the Third Legion were more disciplined in addition to being brave. Looking up, the orc phalanx was neatly aligned, with infantry in charge of charging in front, war mechanics in the middle, and crossbowmen in charge of fire cover at the end.

Due to the siege battle, the Third Army did not send the most powerful wolf cavalry.

"Aren't you going to fight today?" Yaduros looked at Xia Zuo, "Tell me, is it tactics or are you scared?"

Xia Zuo didn't answer immediately, but frowned, looking at Johnson Bloody Hand who was constantly insulting below, "The Third Legion has just come here, it must be very excited and combative, and it's not a good idea to fight now." As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the eldest prince beside him, "What we have to do is wait, wait for them to let their guard down, it is much easier to kill a sleeping lion than a sober lion." He tried to explain, of course, that this wasn't his real strategy, just an excuse he had come up with last night.

These rookie soldiers of his can't defeat even a sleeping lion.

"Sounds like a good idea. Aduros nodded, smiling at Albert beside him.
