"What are you Nooans doing here, and have you been attacked by someone?" Menes asked curiously.

"This ......," the leader frowned in pain, unable to speak.

"We are the rebels of the Kingdom of Noa, the people's army that rebelled against the tyranny of the king, and we were attacked by the king's army and had to come here. A soldier replied in place of the leader.

"Rebels?" Menes didn't react at once, the army of compulsory labor?

"Oh, see, you are rebels, rebels against the king's rule, you were defeated and fled here, haven't you?" Menes put away the mummy king's godhead and returned to normal.

"No, we are not rebels, we are the people's rebels, valiant fighters against tyranny. The leader said excitedly.

"Good, good, good, heroic soldier against tyranny, hello everyone, how did you get here?" asked Menes, puzzled.

"We were attacked by the king's army, and we originally wanted to flee to the north is your territory, and the valley area could not go, so we could only take a detour to the Death Desert to your territory, but we didn't expect to meet the undead beast army in the Death Desert, but fortunately, they were gathering to prepare to attack the fortress, and they did not attack us, so we had to advance to the depths of the desert, hoping to enter the river valley in a big circle, so we came here. The leader said briefly.

"To my territory?" Menis was a little embarrassed.

After all, it is unreasonable to shelter the rebels of other countries, and Menes did not want to start a war with Noua, so it is not good to take in the rebel army of others, and it is easy to have disputes.

The chief saw that Menes was very embarrassed, and suddenly knelt down and said, "My lord, we really have no way to live, Herrihall is cruel and unkind, and has aroused the anger of the people in the whole country, he kills the people at will, robs the wealth, and if he can't pay the taxes, he has to use his family to compensate, our family members have been captured by the king, and we have no way to rebel, if you refuse to take us in, we can only go back and die, please take us in, we are willing to serve you, our sword is your weapon." ”

Menes couldn't say anything at the moment, after all, this kind of thing needed to be discussed with everyone, so he said, "Let's do this first, you guys have a good rest first, I also entered here by accident, you have rested, I'll take you back to the territory." ”

When everyone saw Menes say this, there was no way but to do it first.

Menes saw that there was no danger and called Yunia out.

When these rough people saw Yunia, they immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted, "Lord's wife, may the gods bless you!"

Yunia is not easy to stop, which can be regarded as recognition.

The name of this leader was changed to Auden, who was originally a centurion of the local legion of the Kingdom of Noa, only because his family could not pay the rent and was robbed of his sister by the king's guards, and in a fit of rage, he killed the king's tax collector and organized a popular rebellion.

Although they were defeated, this army was the main army of Auden, and it was relatively intact, with some wounded, and in general it still had some combat effectiveness.

Menes also knew some things about the Kingdom of Noa, Herrihor's brutal rule was famous, and he was also very arrogant when he traded with Menes every year, and Menes was very annoyed by buying and selling, but after all, the military strength of the Kingdom of Noa was very strong, and Menes put up with him, as long as he didn't openly attack his territory, Menes would go to him, and the affairs of his own country had not been settled, and he didn't want to make trouble.

Nua has become a piece of Menes's heart in this way, so now there is such an army suddenly surrendering to Menes, which is also exciting, you can use this army to fight against Herrihall, so that he doesn't have the heart to attack his own territory, but I don't know how effective this army is, and the army that can be supported has the value of support.

After Auden's army repaired in place for three days, he followed Menes and set off for the fortress, listening to Auden's statement that the undead beasts had gathered into a huge team and would attack the fortress at any time, Menes was also surprised, there were not so many undead beasts that escaped, why did they gather so many troops so quickly?

There are some wounded soldiers in the army and Yunia can't walk on her own, so she needs to be carried, so she moves very slowly, and when she was about to approach the fortress of Lashen, Menes found that there were many footprints of undead beasts in the desert, judging from the footprints, there were at least seven or eight thousand of these beasts, and it seemed that they were very close to the fortress of Lashen.

Menes took Auden to reconnoiter on horseback, and sure enough, he found a large number of undead beasts gathering in a dry valley, and this group of beasts probably had just arrived here, so the footprints on the wilderness had not disappeared.

Menes' army naturally couldn't go over to send them to death, so the two of them withdrew from their hidden places and immediately arranged for everyone to set out of camp, and they went all out to arrive at the Lashen Fortress in front of the undead beasts, I don't know if Zuo Sai is ready?

After running wildly all night, he finally arrived at the fortress of Lashen in the evening of the next day.

The guards on the walls of the fortress saw Menes excitedly welcoming him into the fortress, and when Menes saw the official who received him, he opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the left plug when the undead beast is coming?"

"My lord, Commander Djose has already rushed to Gabriel Fortress, and it is said that the undead beast is heading in that direction. ”

"What? Gable's Fortress? The Undead Beast went to the Garble Fortress? This is impossible, the Undead Beast is already at the gate of the Rashen Fortress, less than a day's journey from here, there are seven or eight thousand strange beasts, how could Zosei go to the Garble Fortress? Who gave the news?" Menes asked, grabbing the official.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, we have indeed received news that there are nearly 10,000 undead beasts heading to Gaber Fortress, and we have not heard of any strange beasts around Rashen Fortress?

"Wrong, I saw it with my own eyes, am I hallucinating?" Menis said as soon as he dropped the official's anxious order, "immediately send someone to inform Zosei and return to the fortress of Lashen." ”

The official got up and ran outside, just pushing open the door and slamming his head on top of a priest, "Sorry!

Menes turned around and saw that it was Snefru.

"What's so alarming?" Snifru scolded.

"Archmage, no, Lord Menes said that there is a large army of undead beasts on its way to the fortress of the Rakhan, and it will arrive tomorrow. The official said in a panic.

"What? The undead beasts came to pull the fortress of the gods, didn't they go to the fortress of Garble?" asked Snefru, grabbing the officer.

"Mistress Menes said. ”

Snefru looked up at Menes and said, "Dear Lord Menes, it's great news that you've returned safely, but it's not credible for you to say that the undead beasts are heading for the Ra God Fortress, right?"

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I have seen with my own eyes, if the Pull God Fortress is finished, the entire River Valley Kingdom will be finished, you better prepare quickly. Menes said.

The officer turned to leave, "Stop!" Snefru said.

"I've got the final say here, Commander Dzose isn't here under my command, and it's not the turn of a small lord to come here to give orders. Sneefru said viciously.

The officials froze in place and didn't know what to do.

"You ......"

"You are responsible for the fate of the entire kingdom, I don't know where you got the news, but the undead beast is already in front of you, and if you don't notify Zose to come to help, it's over, and we will all die here. Menes yelled.

"The undead beast's attack on Gable's fortress is an oracle's order, a god's order, how dare you question it?" Snefruw roared.

"Fuck your sister's oracle, I trust only my own eyes, and go tell Zosse now!" Menes roared.

The officer was going to leave again.

"You dare, if the news is wrong, I will kill you!" Snefru said to the officer.

"Okay, if you don't go, it doesn't matter, I have my own legion, and I will send my own people. Menes said angrily.

"Your men, your legions, have also gone to Garble Fortress, there is only one centurion stationed here, and I have the final say here!" Snifruw said dismissively.

"Hey...... I have a lot of troops in Menes, and now there is a thousand-man troop I brought with me at the gate of the fortress, so now I have the final say. ”

Snefru looked at the officer quizzically.

"Archmage, Lord Menes has brought a Noa legion, with more than a thousand people to assist in the defense, and is now in the barracks. The officer said.

"What, Noa's Legion, Menes, you're collaborator, rebel!" Snefru roared.

"I'm sorry, it seems that the Kingdom of Noa is still a vassal of our Kemert Kingdom, it has never rebelled, people are here to help now, this is not treason, this is a friendly army. Menes corrected.

Indeed, although the Kingdom of Noa is effectively independent and often harasses the borders, after all, it has never officially declared its independence from the Kemert Kingdom, so it is still a vassal state of its own.

Snefruw stared at Menes viciously and said, "If your message is wrong, you should wait to accept God's punishment!"

"I've never been afraid of any of your gods, I have my own gods!" Menes stopped arguing with him and walked out of the hall!

Menes quickly took over the entire fortress with Auden's army, and Sneefru was only temporarily appointed as the commander of the fortress because of his high position, and in fact, no one really listened to him, so Menes took over smoothly.

It will be several days before Zosai's legion wants to rush back, and the undead beasts will soon attack, and they must hold on for a while, and Menes certainly does not have enough troops at hand, but the people in the fortress are not unarmed.

Menes immediately began to recruit soldiers in the fortress, and soon recruited more than 2,000 men, as well as all the women, children, and old men, and became a labor force to take charge of logistics and repair of the city.

There were still a lot of weapons in the armory in the fortress, all of which were distributed to the citizens, and Zosei was in a hurry to get the news, so a lot of heavy equipment was not taken away, and Menes still had a lot of catapults and crossbows to use.

The walls of the fortress are very high, and it is difficult to use ordinary engineering equipment, the main defense is the strong attack of the opponent's digging foundation and human face scorpions, the city gate is the main weak point, Menes gathered all the remaining bricks and cement in the fortress, and added two walls in the main city gate area overnight to form a passage.
