Chapter 343 The brief peace was broken
In this storm, Weilin was just an innocent little wave, leading his 135th legion and living a leisurely life outside Laika City.
This place is located in the rear of the occupied area. If something happens, the frontline troops will definitely take care of it first, and they won't be able to hit here for a while.
In early October, Elias Mercedes, uncle of King Caledon Mercedes of the Kingdom of Bajio, served as commander of the army, turning the tide and regaining control of the two lost provinces. .
In the next few months, several large-scale battles were fought on the northern battlefield, as well as countless small and medium-sized battles.
In contrast, the southern battlefield fell into an eerie calm. Only small groups of troops occasionally fought, and both sides maintained this situation with a tacit understanding.
Even so, the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom still dared not draw troops from the southern battlefield and could only continue to arm dwarf warriors from other provinces and send them to the northern battlefield.
In mid-December of 9733 in the Glorious Calendar, in the Sixth Headquarters, four middle-aged men sat around a wooden table, drinking tea quietly, sometimes discussing the situation on the northern battlefield, and sometimes taking out their juniors to compare with each other. .
"My brother wrote to me and told me that in just three months, the Kingdom of Bahio sent twenty-six missions to the royal capital, trying every possible means to lobby His Majesty the King, and even invited Bishop Thalia of the Dawn Church to come over and ask us Launch an offensive from the southern battlefield to relieve their pressure on the northern battlefield." Alfred Silvis took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"With a political system like the Kingdom of Bahio, it's not surprising that a war is fought like this." Iorises shook his head with a smile and said.
"Indeed, their political system directly blocks the channels for upward advancement. If lower-level nobles want to break through, they can only pray for marriage with those blue-blood nobles and integrate into their decadent circles." Alex Simisi Marquis Si nodded and said.
"Otherwise, why do you think the Bahio Kingdom is called a famous "talent exporter" country in the eastern part of the Sinaps subcontinent?" Assad Letend smiled disdainfully.
Alfred stopped the topic and asked Earl Hurricane: "Is your miracle son not married yet?"
"Not yet. I heard from his father that there seems to be a girl he likes a lot, named Shermia Silvis, who is a descendant of the royal family. We are still investigating."
"Xemia, I haven't heard of it. It shouldn't be from our group." Alfred shook his head with regret.
When Iorises saw this, he didn't say anything. Verin's marriage was decided by his parents, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere in this matter.
Afterwards, the four people began to expand from the battlefield situation to the systems of various countries, and even touched on the topic of ancient history.
Ignoring the identities of the four of them, they looked like a few middle-aged men sitting around and talking to each other.
……
On January 9734, 1 in the Glorious Calendar, the 15th Legion had been stationed in Laika City for more than four months.
This war started on April 9732, 4 in the Glorious Calendar, and has been going on for almost two years now.
The 135th Army Corps led by Weilin, with all their plans, carried out a siege of Iron Tower City, an interception of Dashikou, and spent the rest of the time performing various garrison tasks to ensure the safety of material transportation channels.
"Lord, new orders from the 27th Corps."
Kyle opened the curtain and entered the camp.
When Weilin heard this, he stood up suddenly, took the letter from Kyle, and read it carefully.
Doing nothing for more than four months in a row made Weilin a little irritable and eager to do something.
"Kyle, go summon Viscount Moncas and the others to a meeting."
"Yes."
Half an hour later, eight viscounts arrived at Weilin's camp.
Without any polite words, Weilin read out the order issued by the 27th Corps to their regiment on the spot.
"Order the 9734th Legion to arrive at the Black Forest Fortress in the northwest of Densibe Province before February 2, 10 in the Glorious Calendar, to block the dwarf army coming from the direction of Hagar Province."
"To make a long story short, this is a city defense battle, and it is also the first time we have participated in frontline combat. Don't let your guard down and lose your life on the battlefield."
"I respect your order." Eight people replied in unison.
After receiving the combat mission, the 135th Army Corps took action quickly. It took eight hours to begin marching to the Black Forest Fortress.
The Black Forest Fortress is the masterpiece of an earth magic legion under the Fifth Command. It took six hours to build an above-ground fortress covering an area of ten square kilometers from three stone mountains with a height of 130 meters. .
There are six important marching routes from Hagar Province to Densibi Province. Among them, the passage where Black Forest Fortress is located is the most remote of the six marching routes.
It is not difficult to see that someone above took care of Welin and gave him the simplest defensive task.
However, he could not relax. If these dwarves did not follow common sense and he neglected to take precautions and lost the Black Forest Fortress, his sin would be great.
"Viscount Muncas, please lead someone to draw the area planning map of this stone fortress. There must be no mistakes."
"Yes, legion commander."
"Uncle Alcott, please be responsible for sending knights and scouts to explore the details around the Black Forest Fortress. At the same time, set up a post thirty kilometers north of the Black Forest Fortress to closely monitor the Hador Province in the west. The movement of the dwarf army.”
"As ordered."
"Viscount Algernon, please lead your team to eradicate all vegetation higher than one meter within a ten-kilometer radius of the Black Forest Fortress. Do not let these plants block our army's sight."
"Yes, my lord."
"Uncle Edgar, please lead someone to collect the logs from the Boulder River and transport them to the Black Forest Fortress for storage."
"Yes, my Lord Legion Commander."
As there were fewer and fewer generals around Weilin, the Black Forest Fortress instantly became lively.
In order to prevent the dwarves from attacking the Black Forest Fortress from underground, Verin also asked people to dig a moat around the Black Forest Fortress and divert water from the lake thirteen kilometers to the north.
In less than ten days, the entire Black Forest Fortress had almost completely changed.
On the twenty-meter-high stone city wall, there is a three-bow bed crossbow every thirty meters apart, and there is a magic crystal cannon every one hundred and fifty meters apart.
The Black Forest Fortress is on the stone city wall facing the direction of Hador Province. According to the order issued by Weilin, there must be 5,000 troops on the city wall at all times, and the city walls in the other three directions must not be less than 3,000. people.
Looking at his masterpiece, Wei Lin felt a little more at ease and stopped tormenting his group of viscounts.
