Chapter 30: Military Uniforms
Chapter 414 Military Uniform Author: The legendary Thunder Fortress is the most powerful military fortress in the Oakland Kingdom, but you will only know if you see it with your own eyes, it is not a separate castle, but the collective name of a series of war fortresses that stand above the Camille Wasteland. s173 Romance Novel Bar, Latest Chapter Access:.
From west to east, the city walls and passes that stretch for dozens of kilometers across the wasteland, the twelve castles of all sizes built on the mountains with huge rocks, twelve 'elite' regular legions, and more than 100,000 civilians and reservists have built this war monster called "Thunder Fortress".
This is the most vital lifeblood of the Kingdom of Oakland, and the war has not stopped for thousands of years.
After the Falcon Empire ran into a wall here, it had to admit the existence of the Oakland Kingdom, but it never dispelled the idea of recovering its territory in 'private'. Although due to some objective reasons, the second nationwide crusade army has not been organized since then, but in the past thousand years of history, wars between the two sides, large and small, have never stopped.
From a distance, the azure-colored castle built on top of the moorland boulders is particularly magnificent, and it is said that the masonry used to build the castle came from a large mine of cyanosteel two hundred kilometers away, and this rock is at least three times harder than the 'flower' granite, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to leave traces on the surface. These castles were built by Grey Dwarf tribal engineers from the Shadows, who are arguably the most authoritative experts in the field of architecture beyond their distant relatives on the ground.
The central core fortress of the Thunder Fortress complex, which is the castle of the Oakland Ancestors family, Kungurting, is also known as the Thundering Castle. The fortress is built on a massive rock pedestal, with an average elevation of at least ten meters above sea level, making it look like a crown on the plains.
It is said that this is not a natural landform, but in the war that shattered the earth that year, the land around Thundering Castle was torn apart by the gold-rank powerhouses, leaving only the city itself, protected by powerful magic, standing alone in place. That kind of scene is just imagination enough to be amazing.
The closer you get to the edge of the fortress, the more you can feel the grandeur of the city, and the walls made of bluesteel stone reach a height of 50 meters, and when viewed from below, it looks like it is 'thrust' into the sky. The surface of the walls is so cohesive that there is hardly any fulcrum to climb except for the faintly visible neat brick joints.
Walls like this stretch for dozens of kilometers from west to east, and the makeshift defensive line that El has built in Bambrore is as ridiculous as the mud that a child has out of his eyes.

This mountain-like city wall is already a spectacular sight that many people dare not imagine in their lifetime. This novel was first published on mobile phones: However, the buildings hidden behind the walls are even more breathtaking. Towering magical spires are also visible in the wasteland a day's journey away, and the majesty that cannot be expressed in words also represents an invisible awe.
It was only after approaching the city that there were signs of a rush of people on the roads. The Camille Wasteland was originally a hundred miles of scorched earth with no grass, and this piece of land on the north side of the Thunder Fortress was almost equivalent to no man's land. In addition to the group of refugees led by El and Tiana, I am afraid that only caravans that travel long distances between the two countries will set foot on this road, and there are also teams from the country to transport supplies, and it is basically impossible for ordinary people to appear.
When the exiles reached the inner edge of the Thunder Fortress defenses, they welcomed the envoys of Lord Churkin. The courteous envoy sent sincere greetings to Miss Lanstadt, the titular leader of the exiles, while bluntly stating that the team could not move on.
To be honest, this is not a deliberate difficulty, because this is already the military defense area of Thunder Fortress. Perhaps out of caution, or for some other reason, the Thunder Fortress, centered on Thunder Castle, has set up numerous defensive lines on both the inner and outer sides.
Camille Heath has no precipitous terrain to build a pass...... Or maybe there was, but it was broken a thousand years ago. The current Thunder Fortress is actually based on castles and walls, with a large number of fortifications, fortresses, camps, and outposts built on the surrounding wasteland...... It can no longer be said to be a line of defense, but the entire region is included in the defensive map.
Along the way, El had noticed that the small outposts built on the high ground on either side of the road, only two or three kilometers apart from each other, could be said to be dotted with stars above the wasteland. If Thunder Fortress is likened to a heavily armed legion, these small outposts are the most basic scout units, keeping an eye on the winds and grasses of the wasteland.
If it weren't for the specific information of this group of exiles, the outpost would have been lit by this time, and in an instant, heavily armed 'elite' troops would have swept out of the castle. Within the military defense zone of the Thunder Fortress, the strict military regulations are far higher than the laws of the kingdom, and those who suspect do not have any right to complain, and will be directly executed.
It's not an imagination, it's a fact that you see with your own eyes. Just as the exile procession approached beyond the gates, a medium-sized caravan ahead was intercepted by soldiers at the outpost. It seems that the soldiers found the illegal goods hidden in this caravan, and the owner of the caravan relied on his background relationship and refused to admit it.
The soldiers stationed at that outpost did not say a word of nonsense at all, and directly lit the wolf smoke with torches. Seeing this, the owner of the caravan turned around and ran away with his cronies. However, their speed was no match for the regular army's horses, and before they could escape far, they were shot into hedgehogs by a rain of arrows and arrows from the garrison who heard the news.
The caravan's property was confiscated, all the guards who dared to resist were executed, and the caravan men who surrendered on their knees were chained and pulled aside, and it was clear that nothing would end well for them.
This kind of robbery is not uncommon in the 'private' territory of the southern aristocracy, but what is really terrifying is the brutal methods and cold eyes of these soldiers. After clearing the battlefield with great training, they escorted the prisoners and their belongings back to the city, and no one spoke or showed any interest in the goods.
Judging by the suffocating murderous aura on their bodies, this level of slaughter was nothing more than a daily task for them.
In all fairness, Elr had to admit that these soldiers were stronger than the Isttalon garrison he had seen. He had under his command the surviving soldiers of the garrison, and they could all be called heroic warriors, but compared to these soldiers, it seemed that something was missing.
As we all know, the garrison unit responsible for daily defense is far from being the real 'elite' in the military sequence.
While Andelof was 'handing' the official paperwork with the envoy of Fort Thundering, El sneaked back to his camp. Since it is on other people's territory, and the other party seems to be a big man with a hard enough fist, it is natural to follow the rules of the other party. In addition to the titular supreme leader, Tiana, according to the rules, he, the commander of the army, must also go with him.
It's understandable to ignore the image in order to escape on the road, but now that you want to meet with the big guy who covers yourself in the future, you have to tidy up your image. El is not a nobleman, and he has never worn that kind of flashy dress, and even if he really prepared such a dress, he would be ashamed to wear it. Fortunately, he is still a general, and since the other party is also a soldier, there should be no problem wearing a military uniform.
The question is, where can I find such a clean military uniform? They all ran for their lives, and the weather was hot, who would have the heart to bring two more clothes to spare? The one on El had long since been worn into rags along the way, and most of the soldiers under his command were like fleeing savages, and of course this was the case.
"That...... Actually, my lord, I still have one there, which was my father's ......," Palanti whispered hesitantly as he followed El behind.
According to Isttalon custom, when a general of the rank of Pros died, he had to wear a formal dress and a sidearm before he could be buried. At that time, Palanti had already prepared his clothes, but unfortunately he didn't have time to change them for Pros, and later took them with him when he fled, taking them as his father's relics.
"No problem, a hero like your father, it's an honor to wear his uniform. El said seriously.
It's a bit taboo to wear dead man's clothes, but El never cared about that, he's a pragmatist. GLP was the commander of the Black Knights during his lifetime, and his military uniform was also in black 'color', inlaid with silver filigree and agate buttons. It's a little big to wear, but you can hold it up just by adjusting your muscles.
El straightened his cuffs, and when he looked back, he saw Palanti staring straight at him, his mouth half-open, his eyes dazed, and a suspicious flush on his cheeks.
"Hey, it's drooling. El pursed his lips and couldn't help but joke.
"Huh?" Palanti came back to her senses, subconsciously reaching out to wipe herself from the corner of her mouth, and her whole face turned red after reacting.
"You're really handsome, sir. The young 'girl' whispered.
"It's sad to grow up so old and finally hear someone use this word to describe me, it's really worthy of the 'fine' design of the military uniform, as long as you wear this dress, it is not a problem what your face looks like. El sighed, patted the young 'girl's head, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "What are you still doing in a daze? As the heir of the White Lion Family, you also want to go with us, why don't you go to change your clothes?"
"Ahh Although it usually seems to be unkempt, as a 'girl' child, after all, she still has to dress up on formal occasions, which is the most basic personal etiquette issue.
And the grooming of 'female' people usually means a lot of time, and 'female' men are no exception. And now that he was about to leave, it was already too late, and when he thought of this, Palanti turned around and ran away.
After running a few steps, Palanti suddenly stopped, turned back and shouted to El with a serious face:
"I'm not lying, I'm really handsome!".
