Chapter 288 Going to the stronghold (ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)
【The text simulation is over, do you want to continue the simulation? 】
"no!"
After watching this simulation, Leiter's mind has settled down. After all, nothing beyond his expectations has happened. For him, being able to grow steadily is more important than anything else. Time is more important to him than anyone else. are more precious.
Not only did the changes he made before the simulation get the desired results, but the war will end next year, and it didn't last for several years or even ten years as he imagined.
It's just that the Argonians were willing to admit defeat in the end, which surprised him a bit, but he liked it very much. After all, it is the blood of the royal family. Without this branch, the overall strength of the orcs will be reduced. And without this race, I am afraid that the insults suffered by human soldiers would be much lighter.
Thinking about it carefully, Leiter can only analyze that the genocide poison has dealt too great a blow to the Argonians, and they have no other way to deal with it. Even the attack on Assad and the sabotage of the alchemy workshop failed, so I am afraid that this decision was made. Otherwise, if it continues, sooner or later, the Argonians' vitality will be exhausted. Even if they have a sanctuary, there will be a day when the limit is approaching, and the fate of the entire population cannot be changed.
After the light curtain in front of him completely dissipated, Leiter noticed that all the sounds behind him had disappeared. He turned around, inspected it, and confirmed that the entire team was ready to go.
This time, there were not so many speeches. Leiter just waved his hand and gave an order:
"Let's go, cold current defense line!"
More than a month later.
Leiter led the team to a wet muddy ground. The sticky ground stained everyone's iron boots with mud. Although it was not a big problem and did not affect the team's journey, he still thoughtfully solidified the surrounding area. The earth element, hardened the ground a bit.
At this moment, as far as the eye can see, there is a stretch of mountains in front of them. The place where they are standing is at the foot of the mountain. The coldness of this area can be seen from the white snow covered on the mountain. The reason why the ground is wet is also because of the water flowing down from the mountain.
After a few more glances, Leiter found a few flags of the Cold Current Defense Line not far from the top of the mountain, where a mountain spring crossed the trail. The sky blue flags were fluttering in the wind, and there were several knights standing guard beside the flags. He scanned other places carefully and found that other mountains in the distance had the same situation at the top.
Seeing this, Leiter knew that the cold current line of defense was not far away, and it was estimated that it could be reached by crossing the mountains ahead.
If you want to walk more conveniently, you can also reach the cold current defense line by detour, but that is slower than going directly. For this extraordinary team, climbing a mountain is like walking on flat ground, and it will not affect the speed at all.
When they came to the top of the mountain and saw the group of guard knights, Leiter explained his identity to the other party. After some communication, someone rushed away immediately, bursting out with the speed of the earth knight, urging the extremely fast wind system Dou Qi, rushed towards the cold current defense line, and reported the news in advance.
Where Leiter continued to drive behind with the team, after turning over the snow-capped mountain, the road on the ground suddenly became much smoother, and there were many wide stone paths built by man.
They rushed forward with big strides, and when the sun was setting on the western mountain, the dark blue flag of the Cold Current Defense Line just appeared in front of their eyes.
The metal fence stretches continuously, and the ends of the two sides cannot be seen. Well-trained knights stand guard at intervals, and their eyes fall on Leiter and the pedestrians.
At the left front of the team, a figure attracted Leiter's attention. The man looked at them from afar and waved his hand at the same time. And Rhett immediately recognized him as the former deputy commander of the canyon defense—Ambiru.
He shouted towards the rear: "The front is the cold current defense line, everyone keep up, we will be there soon!"
Then he quickened his pace, came to Abiru's side, and said with emotion: "We meet again, Abiru...sir, you look more miserable than when you were in the canyon defense line before!"
"Haha, what is the vicissitudes of life, it's just a few more scars..." Abiru showed a familiar smile, he looked at Leiter with a trace of emotion in his eyes, and said, "Now... why can't I understand your strength? , How strong are you? Forget it, this answer doesn’t seem to matter, I’d better take you to find the deputy commander.”
"Thank you very much." Rhett smiled.
"Well, I'm sorry I can't accompany you more. In fact, if I just returned to the camp to rest, I'm afraid I don't know the news of your arrival." Abiru shrugged and said: "And I have other things later, I can't use it." How long will it take to perform other tasks."
Leite shook his head nonchalantly, and said, "Understood, the fighting on the Hanliu defense line is tense now, so we should focus on the overall situation."
While chatting, the two entered the barracks under the leadership of Abiru. Leiter's identity was naturally easy to verify, and he came inside easily.
He first brought the team to the training ground, and then he visited the Fortress of Frostfrost, the fortress where the command room of the Cold Current Defense Line is located, similar to the central war fortress of the Canyon Defense Line.
Sure enough, the interior of the Frostfrost Castle was quite quiet at this time. From the layout, Leiter saw the shadow of the giant war fort in the center of the canyon defense line.
In the deepest part of the hall, next to the tactical sand table, an old man in a blue cloak was facing Leiter, clapping his hands on the edge of the sand table, leaning over to look at the tactical map in front of him. As Leiter gradually approached, the other party slowly turned around.
He has a pair of brown eyes, a slightly old face, and a few inconspicuous wrinkles. Seeing Lei Te stepping forward, he smiled and said, "Marquis Lei Te, I represent the cold current defense line, welcome to you!" With your arrival, you are much stronger than the strength rumored by the outside world..."
"Cough, it's just luck to win the prize." Leiter smiled modestly and said, "Mr. Bomier, how is the current situation of the Hanliu defense line? I brought 837 extraordinary people this time. The situation can be of some help.”
When Bomier heard this, the smile on his face faded, his eyes became solemn, and he said: "It's not good, the Yalong people's offensive is really getting more and more fierce, they are trying to fight for short-term Pain, to avoid long-term pain. Humph, but their thoughts are definitely wishful thinking, we will definitely fight them to the end, and never admit defeat!"
"That's right, until the Argonians are extinct!" Leiter said with righteous indignation.
"Marquis Leiter, since you have the strength of a great magister now, being the captain is really too inferior. It just so happened that the deputy head of the Sixth Army died a few days ago. There has been a vacancy for this position, and you Both strength and battlefield experience meet this requirement, and I think it would be perfect to entrust this position to you!" Bomier said as he walked to the southeast corner of the sand table and waved a blue battle flag with his hand, said:
Leiter looked at the past, and after scanning the topographic map of the battlefield for a while, it was composed of continuous and scattered mountains, hills, streams, etc. There were not many plains, so it was indeed more suitable for him, and no matter what, this He would not refuse even orders, so he simply said:
"Thank you, Chief Bomir, for your trust. Leave it to me from now on. With me here, the orcs will never get around to the center line of the battlefield!"
"Okay, I'm very confident, I believe you can do it!" Bomier nodded and said, "The Sixth Army has a temporary stronghold here, and the location is in the (103, 98) area. The month is quite tense, and I will send someone to take you to familiarize yourself with the location of the logistics supply department in the camp later, and then you can go there as soon as possible to support."
After finishing speaking, Bomier rarely apologized, and said, "I'm sorry, I gave you such an urgent task when I first came here, and I didn't give you enough time to prepare..."
Leiter shook his head indifferently: "This is not something a mature commander can say. The enemy will not give us enough time to prepare when we go to the battlefield. Since I have come, it means that I have already been fully prepared! Please rest assured, I Report it right away."
"However, before reporting, I have a separate request..."
"It's okay, please tell me, do you want to apply for more logistics supplies? That's no problem, Leiter, the battlefield you stayed in before was the canyon defense line. The military supplies there may be a little tight, which may cause you to have some concerns about other battlefields." Misunderstood. In fact, our cold current defense line is different, and we have always had sufficient resources, especially now, after the nationwide warning, the royal family supports this place quite a lot, and all supplies are sufficient, and there will never be any shortage of your supplies!" Bomir He waved his hand very generously and said with a smile.
Leiter was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Well, this is indeed the first time I know about this situation, and it sounds very good. But what I want to talk about is not this matter, I just want to arrange Thales to be imprisoned as a The post of executioner."
"Thales? Is it your son?" Bomier looked at the young man who was drawn to Lei Te's side in surprise. There is no vacancy for the position of execution officer, but one more is not redundant, and I agreed to this request."
"Thank you, Chief Bomir!"
"You're welcome, then Thales doesn't have to go with you later, let him stay first, I just happen to go to the prison myself later, and take him there by the way."
"No problem!" Lei Te nodded and said.
Then, the two continued to chat about the situation on the battlefield and other detailed issues, and Leiter and Deputy Commander Bomir parted ways.
After leaving Frost Castle, Leiter led the team to leave the camp, passed through layers of checkpoints, and ran all the way along the cold wind howling plain.
The reason why it is named the Cold Current Defense Line here is not only related to the severe cold temperature, but also inseparable from the howling cold wind.
In this battlefield, there is always a biting cold wind howling and whistling, like the devil's horn, instigating the humans and orcs on this land to fight.
Leiter was at the forefront of the team. After leading the team across a plain, they broke into a rolling hill. After going through countless ups and downs, they continued along a turbid stream with ice. Head to the southeast, and there is the direction of the temporary stronghold of the Sixth Army.
Until dusk deepened, shadows enveloped the team, and the mist drifted erratically under the howling cold wind. They came to the foot of the rocky hill, and their pace slowed. Because there are sentry towers standing not far ahead, and the sentry towers extend to the southeast, there are teams of patrolling soldiers, and many man-made holes on the mountain.
The temporary stronghold of the Sixth Army has arrived. This is the place where they take shelter in the hollow inside the mountain. There are many such hills around, and it is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
闼闼闼
In the dark night, Leiter approached with hundreds of men and horses. Naturally, the movement was not small, and soon a group of knights approached quickly and came in front of them.
"Stop coming, tell me your name and the legion you belong to!" A knight in light armor pushed out a hand in a blocking posture, and at the same time said loudly.
"Rett Green, I am the new Deputy Chief of the Sixth Army, and this is my appointment document." Leiter looked solemn, took out a piece of letter paper that Bomir gave him, and handed it over!
The team of knights in front of them, when they heard that they were the new deputy army commanders, all of them were shocked, and they looked at Leiter with more serious eyes.
The leading knight gave a solemn salute, carefully took the document handed over by Leiter, checked it carefully, then closed the letter paper, handed it back, and replied in a louder voice:
"Welcome to the appointment of the Deputy Chief of the Leiter Army. On behalf of the Third Patrol Squad, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to you!"
The knight straightened his waist, and said respectfully: "Please follow me, the leader of the legion is just in the camp, I will take you to see him!"
Leite nodded, "Thank you very much."
"Responsibilities are as they should be. Chief Leiter, my name is Bono. If there is anything useful, just ask."
"Really? I just have something for you right now." Leiter said after thinking.
"Sir Leiter, please speak!"
Leiter first pointed to the troops behind him, and said to the knights in front of him: "Many of the soldiers behind me have come to the Cold Current Defense Line for the first time, and they are also on the battlefield for the first time. I need you to take them nearby first." Take a turn to familiarize yourself with the terrain so that they can patrol and stand guard in the future.
By the way, you also need to teach them the exclusive code words of the cold current defense line, which is even more essential for them. "
Bo Nuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, these tasks are on my shoulders. In fact, in recent months, recruits or people from other lines of defense have been transferred to us. I have done training many times before!"
