Chapter 176: Red River Fortress

readx;

Early the next morning, Shenghui Academy Air Riding Training Camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The huge air horse take-off and landing square was almost crowded, hundreds of empty camels occupied all the places that could take off and land, batch after batch of samurai and knights boarded the empty camels, formed a unified formation and flew towards the west, and there were more empty camels in the air hovering and waiting to land, the scene was extremely lively.

The empty camel is a kind of weight-bearing air horse specially used to transport people and goods, and it belongs to the first-order spirit beast that has no attack ability, but it has excellent long-distance flight and weight-bearing ability, its appearance is somewhat like a big turtle with wings, the body is flat, the head and limbs are short and thick, and the sand camel has no resemblance at all, and the name is probably because it is as hard-working as the sand camel.

The empty camel is a strategic material strictly controlled by the empire, even the chamber of commerce under the royal family Ye clan cannot have it, and its existence ensures that the empire can send a large number of materials and personnel to the most critical places in the shortest possible time, which is of great significance to the security of the empire.

Unlike griffins, ordinary people can also control the extremely docile empty camels after rigorous training, and the thousands of empty camels that fill the sky and the squares completely demonstrate the unfathomable strength of the thousand-year-old imperial glow.

The only people who came to see Han Fei off this group of Entente warriors were a mentor from the Holy Martial Academy and Instructor Nick, and before Han Fei boarded the flying camel, Instructor Nick personally pinned an Iron Cross and a sergeant rank badge to Han Fei's left chest.

"This is the reward you deserve, there should have been a ceremony to receive the honor, but it was canceled because the time was too tight!" He patted Han Fei on the shoulder and said, "When you come back, you should be an emperor [***] meritorious noble, work hard!"

"Yes, instructor!" Han flew in a salute.

During this six months, Nick has taught him a lot and is undoubtedly a respectable mentor.

The Empire's military merit medal is divided into five levels, the Iron Cross, the Silver Cross, the Gold Cross, the Purple Heart, and the Order of the God of War, the Iron Cross is the lowest level, but it is not so easy to obtain, among all the samurai who participated in the Scout Trial, only three people including Han Fei received this medal.

Compared with the medal that represents honor, the rank of sergeant is a real military merit reward, the military ranks of the empire include five ranks: soldier, sergeant, captain, colonel, and general, each rank is divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and the knights who graduated from Shenghui Academy and joined the army also have the lowest rank of corporal, among which the outstanding can get the rank of sergeant and sergeant, if Han Fei does not have the merit of killing the barbarian scouts, he can only get the rank of corporal at most now.

In the army, if you accumulate merit and be promoted to the rank of captain, then you can at least be crowned an imperial lord after you come back, and the sergeant is almost equivalent to the knight of a quasi-nobleman, so when Han Fei hung this badge, many people next to him cast envious glances.

In addition to the two medals, Nick also handed over a spiritual power crossbow to Han Fei: "This is the trophy you captured, since you captured two, you can leave one according to the regulations, the prohibition inside has been erased, as long as you enter the fighting qi, it will be yours, and the crossbow arrows will be replenished over there!"

Han Fei nodded, hung the spiritual power crossbow on his backpack, and then boarded the empty camel.

The empty camel is equipped with a special saddle on its back, and in addition to the empty driver who controls the empty camel, four fully armed samurai can be carried at the same time, and when Han Fei went up, there were already two samurai sitting in front of him.

"Wait! Is there still a place for me?"

At this moment, a blonde warrior with a military bag on his back suddenly rushed out of the crowd next to him, rushed to the side of the empty camel that Han Fei was riding, and shouted at the air pilot, "Don't take off, carry me one!"

Seeing this blonde warrior, Han Fei couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Kevin, why are you here? Could it be that you have also received a call from Emperor [***]?"

"No, I took the initiative to go to the front line!" Kevin smirked his fist at Han Fei, handed over his supporting documents to the air pilot, and smoothly boarded the empty camel and sat next to Han Fei.

"I said, I won't give up, I must prove to Sister Shuixiu that I'm not worse than you!" said the young son of the Lebon family with high spirits, but when he saw the badge on Han Fei's chest, his voice couldn't help but lower a lot: "Although you are now a sergeant, I will definitely not lose to you!"

Han Fei couldn't help but laugh, if he had any friends in the empire, Fuji Shuixiu's clan brother Fuji Changxuan was one, and there was this Kevin in front of him.

Kevin is a direct descendant of the Lebourne family, and although his status in the clan is not very high, he is also an excellent figure of the younger generation and likes to make friends. His pursuit of Fujimizu Shu is well known, and although Han Fei's appearance has made all his efforts in vain, he has never given up hope and has been persevering.

And the pursuit is the pursuit, he has a good relationship with Han Fei, and from time to time he invites Han Fei out to parties with Fuji Changxuan, and he usually has to learn martial arts with Han Fei.

Such a straightforward person with a straightforward surname and a fair and upright demeanor, of course Han Fei would not have any bad feelings, so he became a friend, of course, Han Fei would never give him any chance in the pursuit of Fuji Shui Xiu.

Han Fei didn't expect that he also joined the Emperor [***] team, in order to compete with himself, I really don't know what to say about him.

"Does your family agree with your choice?" Han Fei couldn't help but ask, "What is your military position?"

"It is our samurai's duty to serve the Empire, and there is no one in our Lebourne family!" Kevin said with great righteousness, but the next sentence was completely exposed: "No one's obstruction is useless!"

Speaking of the military position, he was a little depressed: "The military position is a city patrol warrior for the time being, in fact, I hope to be able to become a battle array warrior!"

Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head, it was useless to persuade him now, fortunately, the warriors patrolling the city were much safer, and Han Fei didn't want him to bury his precious life in that place that had been turned into a bloody fortress because of a whim.

The Patrol Samurai is equivalent to the reserve of the Battle Array Samurai, and when the Battle Array Samurai is unable to support it, the Patrol Samurai will fight on top, and they are usually responsible for patrolling and guarding the fortress.

Syllable!

"Sit down, everyone, take off!" the air pilot waved his leather whip and made a loud whip, and the empty camel, which had been lying lazily on the ground, immediately straightened up, spread its long wings and began to flapp.

Due to the special saddle, coupled with the flight stability of the empty camel, it is much more comfortable to ride the empty camel than the griffin, and the saddle has a special spiritual magic array that can produce a shelter barrier, so there is no need to open the armor protection during the flight, of course, it is also very bad to fight in the air on the empty camel, so it can only be used for transportation.

One by one, empty camels flew into the sky, forming a rather large team in the air, at least a hundred in size, and flew into the distance under the guidance of three griffins.

Yan Jing was gradually left behind, looking at the bustling Shengjing that was gradually moving away, Han Fei's heart more or less had a feeling of amazement.

Goodbye, Yanjing, goodbye, water show!

......... The formation of empty camels went all the way to the west, and after a day and a night of flying over the golden plain, they entered the Simon prairie, and only landed in the middle to rest for less than half an hour.

The team flew west along the edge of the God of War Mountain Range, and the three-headed griffin air riders responsible for protecting it were quite vigilant, because the God of War Mountain Range was too vast, and sometimes the barbarian air horses slipped into the hinterland of the empire to make trouble, and the number of air horses of the Imperial Air Cavalry Regiment was limited, which could only ensure the safety of the airspace near Yanjing.

Fortunately, the journey was safe, and after flying on the prairie for another two days and one night, on the morning of the fourth day after leaving Yanjing, Han Fei finally saw the fortress hidden in the Grand Canyon of the Red River.

It is said that in ancient times, the Grand Canyon of the Red River was actually a river that ran through the Great Mountain Range of the God of War, but it gradually dried up thousands of years ago and became a huge canyon, stretching for hundreds of kilometers and dozens of kilometers wide at its widest point.

It was this wide and flat canyon that the barbarian army relied on to cross the Great Mountain Range of the God of War, frequently enter the Simon steppe, turn to the golden plains, and harass the hinterland of the empire, making the empire unbearable.

The empire had been planning for several years a hundred years ago, first sending a cavalry army composed of 30,000 knights and 70,000 elite cavalry to enter the northern steppe of the barbarians through the Red River Grand Canyon.

At the same time that this cavalry army attracted all the attention of the barbarians, the empire used hundreds of thousands of manpower to build the fortress wall in the Red River Grand Canyon, and it only took less than a month to build the first huge defensive wall more than ten kilometers long, and with the help of this city wall, it resisted the counterattack of the barbarian army later, and after more than ten years of difficult construction, the Red River fortress was finally established!

The cavalry regiment used as bait, less than 1,000 people eventually returned to the empire, which can be called the most tragic expedition to the death in the history of the empire, and the names of all the victims were engraved on the walls of the fortress for those who came after them to remember.

The Red River Fortress is one of the largest and strongest fortresses in the Nine Heavens Continent, it has never fallen for a hundred years, and it also guarantees the peace of the hinterland of the empire for a hundred years, with a garrison of up to 200,000 troops and a resident population of 300,000, and the empire's annual expenditure on fortresses is absolutely astronomical.

And now, Han Fei and thousands of recruits are landing on this fortress of the famous continent!

He seemed to see that a new journey was unfolding in front of him, and there was countless blood and fire ahead!
