- Yanfei Fortress, which was once captured by the orcs, was the first and last fortress for humans to protect the eastern plains.
After the main force of the orcs was slaughtered, all the surviving orcs retreated back to the northern hills. Naturally, this nearly half-destroyed fortress was snatched back by humans.
The Yanfei Fortress is divided into three floors, and was named after the founder of the Yanfei Fortress, the first general stationed in the Yanfei Fortress, and later the founding emperor of the Ji'an Empire, Anthony Marigian. Counting from the outside to the inside, They are 'Antony's Gate', 'Antony's Shield' and 'Antony's Sigh'.
Although Yanfei Fortress is the only barrier for human beings, in fact, because the upper echelons of modern humans have gradually become decadent and obscurant due to their comfortable life, even though there is an agreement from the ancestors to jointly guard this place, in fact, except for some thorny motley crews, Other countries will basically not send any decent troops to help garrison, especially now that the danger from the orcs has almost been eliminated.
The only good thing is that the Ji'an Empire needs to guard the gate to the eastern plains, and the country's territory is not large. It is even as large as some of the principalities of the most powerful empire, the Horngorat Empire. Most countries They don¡¯t want to get into such trouble because of such a big place, so there are almost no external worries in the east of the Ji¡¯an Empire. The hard life near the northern hills and the year-round battles with the orcs have also led to the unusual unity of this country. You need to know about Ji¡¯an. Almost every generation of the empire's royal family has princes who died in battle at Yanfei Fortress. This kind of life and death situation with the soldiers is almost impossible to happen in other empires. Even if the princes of most empires die, they usually do not die from terminal diseases. He died in the dirty palace struggle.
It is precisely because of this that the royal family of the Ji'an Empire is generally supported by the people.
Because of the lack of troops, the Ji'an Empire's garrison at Yanfei Fortress is naturally unable to compare with what it was during the empire's heyday.
Only behind ¡®Anthony¡¯s Sigh¡¯ are the elite troops of the Ji¡¯an Empire. The current fourth prince of the Ji¡¯an Empire, Fao Marigian, leads an elite guard of more than 2,500 people stationed here.
Behind the 'Antony's Shield' are miscellaneous troops sent by various countries. Although they are generally disobedient, under the threat of life from the spears of the strongest army of the Ji'an Empire behind them, they can only stay there obediently.
But they are still lucky. The most unlucky ones are the mercenaries, slaves or other random stragglers who want to make achievements in the outermost layer of Yanchai Fortress, behind the ¡®Antony Gate¡¯.
Together, these three levels of soldiers are the famous ¡®border guards¡¯ in the eastern plains.
Regardless of other things, in terms of equipment alone, there is a big gap between these stragglers and the soldiers of the Ji'an Empire. The soldiers of the Ji'an Empire all have a simple breastplate made of all steel, and the cage hands and shoulder armor are also made of full materials. Wearing a red and blue uniform made of Minnie fabric, the full-covering helmet on the head not only has excellent protective performance, but is also decorated with the long tail feathers of a peacock, looking majestic and energetic; conversely, behind the Antonine Gate Some of them just wore ordinary linen clothes, and some even just dug three holes in flour bags and put a set of clothes on themselves. Everyone looked dirty
Not to mention weapons.
Every soldier in the Ji'an Empire has a long sword made of fine steel, a short sword for protection, a spear, and even a throwing knife in his boots that can be used as a dagger. Some soldiers of special ranks are equipped with special equipment, such as a large iron shield as high as a person, a war hammer that is almost a thick mace, a locking claw that can climb walls and hook people, etc.
The stragglers mostly hold sticks tied with stones, or other similar 'weapons'. At first glance, it looks like they are still in the Stone Age Occasionally one or two hold daggers, and they will Being envied by others for a while, only those wandering mercenaries who are determined to make achievements will use better weapons.
To put it bluntly, the people behind Anthony¡¯s Gate are almost all cannon fodder.
But not everyone behind the Antonine Gate looks like this, and there are still some exceptions occasionally.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
He used to be a knight's squire, but later the knight accidentally fell off his horse during a jealous battle between the lords and was trampled to a pulp by a group of mud legs. The knight's family thought it was an act of evil. The attendant Joania failed to protect the knight and wanted to let him be buried with him.
Fortunately, the lord of that place was quite kind. After learning about this, he let Joania serve as a member who was sent to the Ji'an Empire to be cannon fodder. There was no need to worry about the dignity of the knight (even the knight attendants had this aspect)."Proud") was killed by a group of helpless women and children, and his reputation was ruined after his death.
It is precisely because of this that Joania is one of the few people behind the Antonine Gate who has a complete set of equipment that is no less than that of the soldiers of the Ji'an Empire.
Although he has not been on the battlefield many times, as an experienced person, even if he has only been on the battlefield once, he is far stronger than 90% of the cannon fodder. What is more worthy of the respect of those cannon fodders is that Joania was the last time the orcs broke through. One of the few survivors behind Yankai Fortress!
"Weilun, you are reading that book again."
Joania said to the boy not far away while wiping her sword with a not too clean linen cloth.
Velen is the child he picked up after the previous battle at Yanfei Fortress.
According to Velen, he was also one of the cannon fodder behind Anthony's Gate. He had just joined the industry not long before the orcs invaded. Unexpectedly, he was seriously injured due to the orcs' invasion not long after joining the industry.
Fortunately, Qiongnia picked him up, otherwise this kind of orphan would usually have no choice but to die after suffering such a serious injury.
It is worth mentioning that Joania himself did not have much savings, so after picking up Velen, he did not have the money to hire a priest or doctor for Velen. He once thought that Velen would not survive and die like that, but he did not expect it. Velen is still alive.
The book that Wei Lun read was a notebook with a black cover and no title. It was written in two different handwritings, one of which was Wei Lun's own handwriting, but the other was unknown.
Joania once studied writing with his knight master for a period of time. Unfortunately, because Joania has no talent in that area, the short period of study did not allow him to master much writing. Up to now, he can only read and write some comparisons. Simple words, and the words in that notebook were beyond his knowledge, almost to the point where he couldn't understand a single word
"Uncle JonjaI'm just waiting" Velen showed a somewhat stiff smile towards Jonja.
Jonja was very pleased: Although this smile was still ugly, it had improved a lot compared to the dead face that seemed to have no hope in life at the beginning.
"Waiting for words to appear out of thin air in this book?" Joania sighed: "Don't be ridiculous, Velen, how is this possible? It's better for you to be realistic."
This is not the first time he has said this to Velen, but every time Velen seems a little stubborn at such times.
Joanna has also read that notebook, and almost every page is filled with words.
Only the last page is empty, white and bright, with not a word written on it.
Jonya has seen Velen want to write on it several times, but he hesitated for a long time but didn't write anything.
"If you tell me, this book may be a creation of the devil, and you may have been confused by this thing!" Joania said naggingly: "Next time I have a chance, I will definitely take you to the church to exorcise evil spirits ¡¡±
Regarding Joania¡¯s chattering, Velen did not show any impatience and closed the notebook. Instead, he showed some nostalgia.
Once upon a time, his parents also nagged him like this It's a pity
Thinking of this, his originally calm mood experienced some fluctuations, and then he was hit by an unbearable sense of emptiness, as if his heart had been hollowed out by something.
"Hey, Velen, are you okay?" Seeing that Velen's face turned pale and he looked like he was going to faint at any moment, Joania couldn't help but asked anxiously.
Although the relationship has not really been established, Joania, who is already over middle age, has long regarded Velen as her nephew and loves him, and Velen also respects Joania. Although they have not been together for a long time, there has been a long-standing relationship between the two. With a tacit understanding, maybe this is what the so-called rapport feels like.
"It's okay, Uncle Jonja, I'm just always a little dizzy." Velen calmed down and replied.
Since the end of the last orc invasion war, I have suffered from this weird illness, and I don¡¯t know what it is.
He glanced at the notebook. Ever since he joined the border guard, he had written everything in detail in the notebook at first. The other party would sometimes respond, and even occasionally taught him some simple magic. It was these magic that he relied on. , Velen could survive the last time the orcs breached the Rock Gate Fortress.
But as time went by, the answers from the other party became shorter and shorter, and the intervals between answers became longer and longer. This made Velen even worried that the other party had forgotten him.
But this is normal. After all, the opposite side is now all human beings?A well-known great magician, but he is just an insignificant little shrimp that the other party encountered during training. He even tried to hurt the other party with the artifact left by his predecessors. It is not unacceptable that he will be forgotten by the other party
If I could have been more sensible and mature back then, if I could have become his student, maybe everything would be different today, right?
Occasionally, Velen would think so.
"Stop thinking so wildly, Velen, go and rest first."
Jonya stroked Velen¡¯s hair and said softly.
"But I'm on night shift today" Wei Lun replied softly.
"It's okay, just let the others take a break." Joania patted the long sword that had been inserted back into her waist, as if the other party would use the sword to make him agree if he didn't agree: "Besides, now The power of the orcs has also become weak due to the power of Lord Sylvie Edric, and there is no room left to invade here. Even if you are a little lazy, no one will find out, I guarantee it!"
¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble Uncle Jonya.¡±
Velen originally wanted to show off his strength, but the weird feeling of emptiness made him a little dizzy, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet, so naturally he couldn't keep vigil.
Rather than working as a foreigner there, it would be better to take a break with someone else.
It was night, and Wei Lun suddenly opened his eyes.
The sky outside the tent is still dark, but because he is full of sleep, Velen is not sleepy now.
"Let's go to the toilet"
After standing up and slowly walking out of the tent, Velen subconsciously felt a sense of disobedience.
He raised his head and glanced around, but found nothing wrong. The torch on the watchtower on the city wall was burning brightly. Two soldiers on night duty were also standing on it meticulously. The patrol team did not relax, even when they saw themselves coming out to go to the toilet. He was released after cross-examination.
The next moment, Wei Lun suddenly realized where the sense of disobedience he felt came from.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the watchtower on the city wall again.
The two soldiers above were still standing upright, as if they were scanning the dark world outside.
If this scene were placed behind Antony's Sigh, it might be normal for the elite soldiers of the Ji'an Empire, but this is the Antony's Gate! The soldiers here are cannon fodder who don't even have complete military knowledge!
¡°Almost most of the cannon fodders are living a life of muddling through, thinking of hanging out until the end of their service years and getting some money or land to live comfortably.
???????????? How could someone who was just getting by be so standard and motionless on the watchtower, checking what was going on outside?
It happened that the leader of the inspection team at this time was Jonja, so Velen hurried to his side and whispered to him what he had noticed.
When Qiongiya heard this, she immediately understood that something was wrong.
"You two, go and have a look on the watchtower!" So he waved his hand and said to the two patrol team soldiers.
The two soldiers didn¡¯t hear Velen¡¯s words, but just carried out the order without knowing why, and ran to the watchtower together.
After a while, they came back.
But seeing their looks, Velen frowned again.
Although the strange disease made Velen's body worse than before, it seemed to have given Velen powerful observation and perception abilities.
Almost subconsciously, he felt something was wrong with the two returning soldiers.
Although there seemed to be no change at first glance, Velen always felt that their movements were like something 'something' wearing the holsters of the two soldiers, which was full of a strange sense of violation.
So Velen quietly moved to the side and went around to the place behind the two of them.
"No, don't let them get close!"
The next moment, Velen understood why he found something wrong. There was something like a mushroom growing on the back of the necks of the two people.
Almost at the moment he issued the warning, the two soldiers suddenly opened their mouths and spit out shit-yellow smoke.
If you look carefully, you will find that the smoke is actually composed of many tiny goose-yellow particles.
Jonya, who had been prepared for a long time, slapped the two men away with a sword, and then casually dragged the soldiers around him out of the range of the yellow mist.
"The Flame Star Formation adds additional Flame Stars to die and explode!"
Wei Lun raised his hand, and a series of fireballs the size of Buddhist beads appearedIt flew out and exploded on those two people.
But it was too late. Lesions had already occurred on the two people. Their bodies turned brown at a visible speed, and branches-like things grew out all over their bodies, and began to become horny. Finally, their entire bodies were covered with a layer of keratin. With a thick layer of cuticle, it looks like it has grown into a tree man, and it is not very afraid of flames. In terms of appearance, it has become extremely scary.
Then, a coughing sound came from the city wall.
Yellow smoke began to fall from the sky.
"Quickly retreat, everyone, please retreat to Antony's Shield! Remember to wake up those idiots who are still sleeping on the way!"
Qiongiya immediately understood that this place could no longer be defended, so she made a decisive decision and shouted loudly.
The ability of yellow smoke to spread the strange symptoms of tree-humanization is quite amazing. Before long, several people were infected.
Fortunately, both Velen and Joania are fine.
In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the half-assed magician Velen, the cannon fodder¡¯s losses would have been much greater than they are now.
"What the hell is going on with this horse riding!" Joania also took the lead in blocking the front line, trying not to be infected by the symptoms while resisting the attack of the tree-human soldiers.
He struck a treant soldier who was about to attack Velen with one sword. Although he failed to cut the opponent, the force of the sword had already sent the opponent flying.
"This is not a normal situation. I'm afraid something happened to the orcs"
Velen took the opportunity to take a breath and answered with sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Let me ask you one thingVelen, do you think Antony's Shield can be defended against the attack of this kind of ghost?"
Even though Jonya was in his prime, this kind of continuous fighting put great pressure on his physical strength, and he couldn't help but ask Velen.
"If you are prepared, you can probably hold it for three days, right?"
Velen looked at the increasing number of enemies around him. Every fallen soldier would create a new enemy.
"Tsk, how can you be prepared to face such a ghost!" Joania took a sip on the ground, and then broke out with Velen: "There is no other way, let's retreat!"
Wei Lun was also a little frustrated: "We can't do anything"
"It's a pity, my child." Joania also sighed: "It seems that human beings have finally been able to live a slightly peaceful life, but it will soon be broken again"
"!"
Hearing what he said, Wei Lun's eyes suddenly lit up. He took out the notebook and a graphite pen he carried with him, turned to the last blank page, and started writing quickly.
