South of Raldian, Stemonido.

When the six southern cities experienced the baptism of war, the vicinity of Stemonido was calm, the scorching sun was scorching, and the drought in the south began to show its hideous face here.

The climate is very dry, the vast undulating earth is covered with small cracks that are dry and cracked because of lack of water, and there is a thin layer of dust on the surface.

The yellow stalks of the plants were furled, and the curvature of the bow tower crept on the earth, shattering at the crisp touch of the wind, and on the top of the desolate mountain, a fortress composed of four huge forts,

The castle seemed to have been deserted for a long time, and the roof was overgrown with weeds, and it seemed to bend down overwhelmed by the scorching sun. Although the walls are made of local abundant flake rock, there are numerous cracks that allow the ivy to hook onto it.

When it rains in the six southern cities, there is no rain near Stemonido, the climate is unusually arid, the vegetation here is not well protected, because the crops are dying in the drought, and the village below the castle has no peasants in sight, and all the people have fled, and the environment here can only fend for itself, getting worse and worse

Today, the road leading to the abandoned fortress is completely crowded with wagons transporting logistics supplies, and the fortress is located on a raised hill.

When it was first built, there was only one road left to go up, so it was very difficult for any number of carriages to go up at the same time, but fortunately they didn't need to turn, and on the carriage flatbed pulled by several horses, a gate Thor was dragged up to the inside of the fortress and placed in the Dun Fort at the four corners of the city wall

Hutu Emma stopped her horse at the gate of the castle and looked at the castle in front of her, it was a rather beautiful fortress, and each floor of the corridor of the central castle was a huge room, and inside the four corners of the guard were small houses, and there was a guard at the back, which protected the only access to the inner city staircase,

An adjoining warehouse is lonely due to the abandoned wooden dwelling next to it, but it is the best space to store Thor bullets, and the four corners of the castle are four large circular dunforts and city walls connected into a single square, sandwiched between tall towers, facing the shafts in the castle.

The castle and the castle were full of soldiers carrying things, some using the hanging wheels of naval warships to hoist Thor onto the tall circular Dunbao, others shouting loudly, pulling a wagon full of supplies and hurried past the soldiers

This is Hutu Aima's Thor Corps, with a number of 6,700, because it has to run long distances, so the legion's treasure of the town and mountain more than ten new heavy Thor have stayed in the base camp, and only brought 84 medium-sized Thor, it is very difficult to defend such a large area with 84 Thor, so Hutu Emma immediately made a decision and ordered the 84 Thors to be transported into the four corners of Dunbao to form a cross support fire,

"Burns, how far are the reinforcements from us now?" Hutu Emma rode into the castle with the convoy, handed over the horses to the guards in his central command room, and then asked the young adjutant who was holding the map behind him and striding closely behind,

"30 miles, half an hour ago received a report from the grenadier regiment liaison officer" The adjutant who followed him hurriedly replied that "because the ground is dry and cracked, the grenadier regiment with several carriages is blocked, and it will take about four hours to reach Stemonido"

The adjutant replied to him nervously, the chaotic situation around him made his voice seem a little unconfident, "Hutu Emma frowned slightly, he was not very satisfied with the adjutant's answer, he pouted slightly, 4 hours is enough to decide a lot of things,

"What about the Nords," asked Hutu Emma politely, for before he had even entered the castle, he received an alert from the scouts that a Nord army was approaching

"Less than 20 miles" the adjutant turned a little ugly, and said, "According to the scout's intelligence, as expected, they took a shortcut through the Bolas Forest and bypassed the defense line of the Southern Army of Raldian, and this time we will face the Fourth Army, one of the ten main forces of Nord, The number of people is about 30,000, and our scouts have rarely found a large number of transport wagons inside, in order to hurry, this time the Nords may have brought heavy equipment of hurricane axe warriors, according to the distance calculation, it will be there in 2 hours at most"...,

"Hurricane Axe Warrior" Hutu Emma took a deep breath, he has been stationed in the south for many years, and he knows too well about his old enemies, the Nords, these Nord troops from the southern mountains, unlike the Ryordian army in the plains, the Nords are mainly infantry, and they are not as good as the Ryordian heavy infantry in terms of discipline, but if it comes to bravery and fearlessness, there is no unit on the continent that can compete with it,

Even if it is the Falcon Dynasty that dominates the north, its famous Vekia crossbow array is not necessarily the opponent of the Nord infantry shield wall, not to mention that the Nord legion-level establishment is often equipped with the establishment of hurricane axe warriors, these warriors who are about 2 meters tall are like a never-ending killing machine qì The hundreds of pounds of tomahawks in their hands cut through the enemy's heavy armor, and the powerful slashes often directly ignore the opponent's shield defense.

They are the first of the continental infantry, they will charge with large shields, in dense and neat formations, well-trained partners, they often work in groups of a dozen people, their flanks and rear are protected by shields,

Twenty meters away, the Hurricane Axe Warriors will often turn their opponents on their backs, and the Tomahawk Warriors who are in charge of the main melee battle in the team will take the opportunity to crash into the enemy group with the Whirlwind of Death.

The three-meter-long giant axe in his hand, like a huge guillotine, can easily split any enemy that stands in front of him, and cut off any enemy that is within the attack range

Everyone knows the consequences of rushing into the enemy group alone in a siege battle, either winning or dying, but the great tomahawks are full of fighting spirit, fearless of life and death, and any tight formation is in front of them. They are all vulnerable and powerless targets, and they undoubtedly embody the arrogant nature of the warrior's indifference to life and death.

Hanging the clothes on the hanger at the door, Hutu Emma turned around with a slightly gloomy face, "That is, we must resist the 30,000 men of the Nord Fourth Army alone for 2 hours before reinforcements arrive"

His Thor Legion is only 6,000 people, excluding the manpower that operates Thor, the number of troops that can fight is at most 4,000, Fort Stmonido is wide and long, which is a rather severe test for Thor's defense ability, to face the siege of 30,000 Nord elites, and may encounter hurricane axe warriors known as killing machines, the pressure can be imagined,

"I think so," the adjutant replied to him, and Hutu Emma was silent for a moment, and then suddenly instructed the adjutant who was waiting behind her, "Report the news to His Majesty Falcon immediately with a carrier pigeon.

The Nords came earlier than planned, and we needed more reinforcements, and we don't know if there would be other Nord troops behind the Fourth Legion, and if the Fourth Legion was only the forward, even with the addition of the fifteen thousand men of Prais, we would be able to hold Stemonido."

"Your Excellency is saying that there may be more Nords than reported......"

The adjutant's face fluttered for a moment, and then he reacted, his face was a little pale, this time the Nord army entered the southern part of Ryerdian with 100,000 troops, and it is entirely possible that what the scouts found was just the tip of the iceberg

"Stemonido is the only way to the south of Paravon and the only way we go south, and both we and the Nords know it well,

Whoever controls Stemonido is equivalent to strangling the other party's throat, and may send troops at any time to insert a knife in the back of the opponent's defense line, at such a critical juncture related to life and death, we and the Nords will inevitably bet on all the forces that can be mobilized, that is, a 100,000-level general battle will break out, which is not unheard of in history" Hutu Emma also replied to him with a gloomy face, and urged him to report immediately

Looking at the back of the adjutant in a hurry, Hutu Emma came to the window of the room, unbuttoned the collar with her hand, took a deep breath, looked at the desert-like scene outside the castle, and a stream of blood surged in her heart,

It's been a long time since I've felt this way, as an alchemist, Hutu Emma has always thought of herself as an alchemist, not a professional soldier, but at this moment, for the first time, he had the urge to fight for glory, and he didn't know why, or if he felt someone's personality.

He had never seen such a monarch who would value the life and death of the people of the enemy country as if they were the people of his own kingdom, from the three northern counties to Amira, millions of turbulent and displaced people of Ryerdian were effectively settled, a large amount of grain was distributed free of charge, countless destroyed villages were rebuilt, and the barren land was rejuvenated after being soaked in blood.

This qiē is like an unimaginable miracle, only those who have experienced cruel wars know how precious this seemingly ordinary peace is.

And Hutu Emma, as a high-ranking officer of the Falcon Dynasty, naturally knew that it was His Majesty Falcon who risked the food crisis, mobilized the last grain in the warehouse, and took out every gold coin in his pocket, so that millions of Ruierdian people could live a new life that was unimaginable in the past.

Here, the peasants own their own land, the nobility is keen to do business to make money, and the soldiers are well paid and respected for their bravery, all seem so natural, no one is superior to the other, everyone knows what they are fighting for.

As for the so-called Falcon Dynasty's invasion of the three northern counties, who cares about these now,

It can be said unceremoniously that if it were not for the Falcon Dynasty's timely dispatch to defeat the Eastern Court, the number of dead civilians in this Eastern Court Catastrophe would have at least tripled or more.

The entire Ryerdian people could be exterminated in the slaughter of the Dongting people.

It was not the Reverent who surrendered to the Falcon Dynasty, but the Falcon Majesty who saved the entire Ruerdian nation,...... ，
