Chapter 454 [What a Big Gift]

Northwest Fortress?!

Northwest Fortress ??!!!

Chen Daolin really felt that his legs were shaking a little.

"You, you you say it again, I just heard it in my ears, maybe I heard it wrong, you say it again, what do you receive?"

The officer's face was calm, and then he exhaled slowly, and the words were round, and he said:

"Northwest Fortress. ”

...... Is it really a Northwest Fortress?!

This is the military center of the Roland Empire's northwest frontier facing the orc kingdom!

It was the military defense line of the northwestern section of the Kaspersky Line of the Empire, an important border crossing...... A battleground for soldiers!

Chen Daolin was stupid.

After a few seconds, he jumped up and shouted, "What are you kidding!!

He pointed at the officer: "Are you crazy, or are your dukes crazy? Northwest Fortress? What is that place in the Northwest Fortress? How can the border town of the empire be handed over to me to take over?"

Chen Daolin's face was hideous, his face was red, and his ears were red, as if he was about to pounce on someone and bite someone, and shouted: "Is that woman crazy? Even if she wants to marry someone and wants to go crazy, she can't use this kind ......of place to give people casually! Isn't it your tulip family's duty to defend the border for the country and guard the frontier!

The officer frowned and stared at Chen Daolin, and he could see that he was also suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Master Darling. The officer said in a deep voice, "Although the Duke has ordered me to show enough respect when facing you, if you still insult our master again and again. Desperately being punished by the head of the family, I will also ...... What a crazy thing to marry. And please don't mention it again!"

"Hmph!" Chen Daolin was furious, and was about to scold, when suddenly, a thought flashed in his heart.

Forcibly suppressing the impulse in his heart, Chen Daolin made a straight face: "You talk about it first...... What's going on with this receiver Northwest Fortress, you tulip family ......"

The officer shook his head: "According to the order of the Duke, the Northwest Independent Division is ready to be deployed, and the Northwest Independent Division will withdraw the whole army from the Northwest Fortress." Evacuated from Nulin Province, the whole army returned to the interior of our tulip family territory for repair and training. ”

Chen Daolin gritted his teeth, and his forehead was bruised: "That...... When was this order given?"

“...... About ten days ago. The officer did not hide the question: "That is, the day before the Duke came to you as a guest. ”

Chen Daolin was stunned.

Other words...... It wasn't a whim for this woman to give this northwestern fortress to herself as a dowry.

But...... This decision was made more than ten days ago?!

Ten days ago, Lao Tzu didn't touch you or kiss you!!

Okay, let's not talk about that bullshit proposal for now.

The top priority is the ownership of this Northwest Fortress!

Northwest Fortress this place. Where did Chen Daolin dare to touch his hands?

What a joke! This is a military town!

It is a military fortress to defend the empire and resist strong enemies!

The 30,000 troops of the Northwest Independent Division were stationed here, which ensured the safety of the Northwest Fortress.

Give yourself such a fortress?

Chen Daolin's entire population is only about to exceed 10,000 people, and there are many old and weak women and children.

Montoya and Martin were almost exhausted and bleeding, and the military team was now only a few hundred people.

A few hundred people to garrison the Northwest Fortress?

Oh, no...... This is not accurate.

Because of the fact that. The so-called "Northwest Fortress" is not just a separate fortress.

To be precise, the "Northwest Fortress" was the northwestern section of the Kaspersky Line of the Roland Empire.

It covers a ...... that is about tens of miles long Stronghold Swarm!

Yes, it's a stronghold group!

There are dozens of large and small military forts, and there are as many as a dozen important locations.

and the corridors and walls that connect these fortress groups......

In times of war. The Northwest Fortress once had more than 100,000 troops!

And now the Northwest Independent Division is also more than 30,000 people.

And ...... for yourself

Relying on the hundreds of people in the military group to occupy this northwest fortress group?

Of the dozens of military forts, are there two or three people in each fort?!

Chen Daolin took a deep breath. Staring at this officer, in a very serious tone, he asked:

"I want to ask...... Your lord, how much hatred do you have with me?"

......

............

The officer looked at Chen Daolin, he blinked, and his answer was actually meticulous.

"Master Darling, there should be no enmity between our head of the house and you. To be precise, the people who have a grudge against our family are in the imperial capital. ”

It's unequivocal - you have it!

Chen Daolin's eyelids jumped.

"In fact, the news of the previous rebellion of the North-Western Independent Division is not a secret. The officer put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and said slowly, "I think Master Darling should not be too unfamiliar with this news. ”

“...... I've heard some. Chen Daolin nodded: "But...... Haven't you dukes already put down the rebellion?"

The officer smiled coldly: "Since some people regard my tulip family as a thorn in their side, then why do the sons of my tulip family still go to the border for him? Could it be that they have already raised their butcher knives against us behind our backs, and we still have to fight for them and orcs on the frontier? There is no such cheap thing in the world." ”

“............”

Chen Daolin was speechless.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "That...... You don't need to give me this fortress, do ......you? Give it to the empire, well, I heard that Thor's whip is in Mulan City, just let them receive it. ”

When this officer heard this, his face was a little strange, he glanced at Chen Daolin, and said lightly: "Master Darling, you probably don't know much about the origin of the Northwest Fortress. ”

"Huh?"

The officer's face was stern, and his tone was awe-inspiring. Shen Sheng said: "The Northwest Fortress was built by us Northwest people, every brick. Every stone was built by the people of the Northwest with sweat and blood. When it was built, all the expenses were paid by my tulip family, whether it was manpower, material resources, or financial resources, it was all borne by my tulip family! This thing, even if we don't want it...... Hmph, do you think we're going to happily give it to those bastards who have raised butcher knives against us?"

"That'...... Then you will leave it to me?!What if I don't want it either!" Chen Daolin's eyes widened.

"Of course you don't. You also have the right to refuse to receive them. The officer spread out his hand and looked very calm: "When the Duke sent me, he already said that if you don't want it, this northwest fortress will be thrown there......! If this place is taken by orcs. I'm afraid that the first unlucky one is you, Master Darling. ”

...... You're ruthless!!

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Daolin's forehead.

After thinking about it several times, Chen Daolin realized that he was facing an extremely unlucky situation:

I knew there was a big pit in front of me, but I still had to jump!

The current situation is that Chen Daolin's territory is like a newborn toddler, living in a safe house.

Outside the house are jackals, tigers, leopards, orcs.

The toddler was alive and well before. This is because the house has a very strong and secure gate - the Northwest Fortress.

And now, this gate is about to be gone!

Then the jackals, tigers and leopards outside, if they run in, the first one who will be unlucky will be Chen Daolin's territory closest to the border!

He had only three options.

The first one. It is hoped that someone else will occupy the northwest fortress and act as a strong gate in front of him. The Tulip family is gone. Then it's best for Thor's Whip to take over - but Tulip has already made an attitude and won't give it to anyone!

This officer said something that made Chen Daolin feel a chill.

"If Thor's Whip is stationed in the Northwest Fortress, then the day their soldiers step into the Northwest Fortress will be the day when the whole army of my Tulip Family will mobilize and march eastward!"

What is the ...... Ruthless enough!

Then the second option is...... Lao Tzu won't play with you crazy people! One of you is the Duke of Tulip and the other is the emperor, you have to break your wrists, you can break it yourself! I can't afford to provoke you, I'll hide!

Unless Chen Daolin could abandon the new city and this inheritance, which had now been built, and evacuate here with all his men and horses, and run to other parts of the empire6 - but this is basically impossible.

This place in the northwest is an area beyond the reach of Xiluo, Chen Daolin can only show here, if he goes to other places, maybe Xiluo will directly send troops to exterminate himself.

Besides, with such a foundation, Chen Daolin himself is reluctant to give up.

Then the third option, which seems to be the only option at the moment.

That is......

Received the Northwest Fortress.

Find a way to tie this fence tighter, although your strength is empty, but your defense is weak, it's much better than not defending at all, right?

"Fuck you uncle!!"

Chen Daolin burst into tears!

The officer looked at Master Darling, who had a constipated expression on his face.

He silently took half a step back, then slowly bent down and gave Chen Daolin a military salute.

"Master Darling, if you agree to accept it, then I would like to ask for your advice for the next period of time. ”

"Uh, what does that mean?"

"It means that in order to allow you to receive the situation smoothly and get acquainted with the situation of the Northwest Fortress more quickly, Lord Duke specially sent me to assist you, and during the next period of time, I will stay by your side and feel free to advise you on the military defense of the Northwest Fortress. ”

The officer smiled slightly: "Forget to introduce myself, my name is Luo Wei, and I have been by the Duke's side before, serving as her military adjutant. ”

Chen Daolin glanced at this guy, sat down with his head in his hands, his face full of anger and helplessness.

The officer slowly took out a stack of things from his arms and gently placed them on the table in front of Chen Daolin.

"What is this?"

Chen Daolin glanced up at the thick stack of papers in front of him, as if it was a stack of various documents and contracts.

"Title deeds. ”

Luo Wei said lightly: "Lord Duke said, if you agree to receive the Northwest Fortress. Then these things are gifts from the Duke. ”

"Title deed?" Chen Daolin frowned.

"Yes. Lowe's expression remained unchanged: "Lord Duke said." You are the one who wants to do big things, but at the moment, it seems that the 6,000 acres of land you bought before is still too small. So ......"

He pointed to the thick stack of land deeds and said lightly: "These land deeds are all pieces of land around here, and according to our arrangement, they have been connected. Other words. From the time you took these deeds, now at your feet, fifteen miles south to the city of Rova. Eighty miles north to the Northwest Fortress. Twenty miles to the border of Nulin Province, and fifty miles to the west. Such a large piece of land is all yours. ”

“......”

Chen Daolin stood up and looked at Luo Wei with wide eyes.

"You're talking about...... Really?"

"Nature is true. Luo Wei said lightly: "Including the town south of the Northwest Fortress, as well as all the real estate properties in the town." It's all covered. Of course, the residents of the town, if they are willing to go, can go, if they are not willing to go, they are willing to stay, then they are counted as the population of your land. ”

Chen Daolin stared at the thick stack of land deeds in front of him. Suddenly, my heart jumped!

This......

Is this the hidden strength of the Tulip family?

Such a large piece of land in Nulin Province is actually ...... All belong to the Tulip family?

It seems that for more than one hundred and forty years, the province of Nurin has been a buffer zone between the Tulip House and the Empire.

But tulips are in the open and in the dark, and there are really a lot of infiltration actions in Nulin Province!

Chen Daolin quickly estimated in his heart. The total area of this stack of land deeds is about several thousand square kilometers.

Even if it's in the real world. It's also the size of two prefecture-level cities!

Such a large piece of land...... Even if you make a million people, it's enough to let them in!

Chen Daolin's face was a little complicated:

"What a gift!"

......

............

"The Northwest Independent Division is moving south?"

Panin frowned and looked at the military intelligence report in his hand.

This is the latest news sent by the air patrol directly under Thor's Whip.

As one of the most elite legions in the Empire, the Thor's Whip, although it is not equipped with much air combat power, it is also equipped with two air patrol groups, with dozens of different types of hot air balloons to reconnoiter military intelligence from the air.

This information was sent back by the scout team that was sent out as a hot air balloon in the air.

According to intelligence, starting the night before yesterday, the scout team of the air balloon used aerial reconnaissance to find an abnormal movement in the Northwest Independent Division of the Northwest Fortress.

Panin immediately strode over to the wall, staring at the map on the wall and taking a closer look.

He stretched out his hand and slowly drew a direction on the map, which was the route of the Northwest Independent Division's southward movement explained in the newspaper.

"What does that woman want to do?"

Panin frowned, and he looked at the march route of the Northwest Independent Division on the map.

"The target is not Mulan City. Panin shook her head: "She's not so impulsive, and she's not crazy. And...... Although the route of the march was to the south, it was gradually approaching the border of Nureen Province......"

Talking to himself here, Panin's eyes glared!

She...... It is to withdraw the whole army to the territory of the Tulip Family!!

Abandon the Northwest Fortress! Completely abandon the Northwest Fortress Group that the Tulip Family has held for more than 100 years! Abandon the Northwest Section of the Imperial Kaspersky Line!!

Gave up ...... The heavy responsibility of defending the border of the country!

Panin's face changed drastically!

As a soldier, how can you not know the importance of the Northwest Fortress!

This is an important military defense line for the Orcs in the north of the Empire!

The Tulip family has really given up on the mission they have undertaken for more than a hundred years!

Panin felt a little bitterness in his mouth.

As an emperor ** and as the military chief of the Northwest, Paning immediately thought of the Northwest Fortress: The Northwest Fortress must not be lost!

This undefended town must not be lost!

Once the orcs are present...... What are the consequences of that?

Although the orcs have been very peaceful all these years, no one can guarantee what those barbaric things will do!

As a matter of urgency, Panin has only one choice: divide the troops!

Divide an army and immediately go to the northwest fortress and take this border military fortress of the empire in your hands!

“...... Are you forcing me to divide my troops?"

Panin pondered the duchess's intentions.

He only has two divisions in the northwest, and if he wants to take the northwest fortress, he must divide one division - then the number of troops remaining in Mulan City will be reduced by at least half.

In addition, if a division is stationed in a border fortress, the military supplies and supplies consumed must be supplied by the continuous transportation and supply of the inner 6......

This duchess, is she trying to throw a burden on herself?

Panin's train of thought became a little heavier the more he thought about it.

She...... What do you want to do?

Forcing me to divide my troops made it difficult for me to transport supplies......

Could it be...... She really wants to fight a civil war?!

Panin's face suddenly became extremely difficult to look at.

But at this moment, the adjutant outside suddenly ran in and delivered a letter.

It was said that it was outside the governor's palace, and a stranger sent it, and the letter was delivered to the door, and the man ran away.

On the envelope, the name is written to let Paning personally open.

The pattern on the back of the envelope is ......

"Tulip flowers?"

A glint of essence suddenly flashed in Panin's eyes.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened the envelope.

There is a piece of paper in it, in black and white, just such a simple sentence.

"You don't move, I don't move. If you go north, I will go east. ”

Attribution: Messiah.

Panin's face changed: "This woman ...... Meaning, I am not allowed to send troops north to take over the Northwest Fortress? What does she mean by that? Could she ...... Colluded with the orcs and sold the Northwest Fortress to the orcs......? No way. The Tulip family may do anything, but never do anything to collude with orcs. She ......"

Putting down the letter, Panin fell into a deep silence.
