Sean's team didn't stay in this small village for long.

They just rested for a day, then bought some food from the village and then resumed their journey. And the destination of this journey is their final stop - Tonys Fortress.

Towering over the Anglodar Mountains, this massive fortress cost tens of millions of gold coins worth of supplies and took a year to build.

The fortress is not a simple foundation, but a magnificent structure formed by the course of the Anglodar Mountains. It is different from the two-storey structure of the regular fortress, the Tonis Fortress is a rare five-story hui-shaped building, modeled after the ancient ark shelter - of course, this so-called shelter blueprint is only designed by later generations out of thin air, not the real ark shelter.

But by all accounts, the Tony Fortress is truly the grandest structure ever built on the Miracle Continent.

This fortress consists of five parts: the outer city, the inner city, the outer defense area, the inner defense area, and the fortress area.

From the map, the whole fortress looks like a horizontal "T", the top of the T, facing the kingdom of Dabion is the outer city, and the side facing the Duchy of Lane is the inner city, which is also a city residence - although the fortress of Tonis is the name of the fortress, but this fortress is not a complete military fortress, there are also a large number of people living here, and its resident population is as much as 100,000, which is the fifth most populous city in the entire Duchy of Lane.

And the vertical under the T is the real core area of the entire fortress.

This complex is built on a hill, and the outer fortifications are connected to the inner city, but the fortifications on the city walls can take care of the outer city. That is to say, once the enemy breaks through the gate of the fortress and enters the outer city, then the fortifications in the outer defense area can be put into use immediately, thus bringing extremely strong lethality to the enemy; Even when the enemy breaks through the outer city and turns into the inner city to start street fighting, the outer defense area can still play a very high role in defense assistance.

Moreover, in the outer defense area, there is a vast area that can allow a thousand cavalry troops to charge and fight, and Asuna spent a lot of money to level this terrain. The inner fortifications and fortifications further back are built in a complex labyrinthine structure. These two places are the real battlefields of the Tonis Fortress. If you can't take the fortress completely. It is not possible to completely occupy the entire fortress of Tonys.

In total, the fortress can accommodate more than 300,000 soldiers, which is four times the number of soldiers that the fortress of St. Dron can hold. However, the number of soldiers on the daily maintenance and patrol and vigilance of a fortress of this scale has naturally reached an astonishing level - each squad needs at least more than 30,000 soldiers to complete the entire fortress standing, patrolling, guarding and daily maintenance, according to the three-shift system of the military code, this fortress needs 100,000 soldiers to work every day.

It can be called the best in the world.

It's just that this fortress has never experienced any baptism of war since the day it was built.

Duchy of Lane. It is also famous all over the world because of this fortress.

Tonis Fortress can be said to be the core of the entire Tonis Territory, it is the shame of the Kingdom of Dabion and the honor of the Duchy of Lane! Its existence keeps the rear of the entire Duchy of Lane in a safe and secure environment, and as long as this giant fortress is not breached for a day, the Principality of Lane will never be invaded by the Kingdom of Dabion.

And how easy is it to break through this fortress?

At least with the military power of the kingdom of Dabion. It's impossible.

From Danavi to Tonyskeep, Sean and the others spent a total of a month and a half, which was not a long time, because they had to pass through the territory of an earl and a viscount in the middle. This viscount's territory is the one with whom Asuna exchanged the territory in the first place, but after so many years, this viscount doesn't seem to be very good at management, his territory is much smaller than when Asuna gave it to him, and he is still a viscount after so many years. The future is predictable.

The Duchy of Lane and the Kingdom of Dabion are now in a honeymoon period of peace - in fact. Even if the kingdom of Dabion wants not to make peace, because the border is connected to Asuna's Tonis territory. In the past few years, they had been completely frightened by this marquis, so now they did not dare to provoke this marquis at all, for fear that she would have another excuse for war.

In order to avoid this situation, the border garrison of the Kingdom of Dabion forcibly retreated fifty kilometers from the border line, so that Asuna did not dare to come to accept even if she wanted to provoke. And it is impossible for her to blatantly let the army go deep into the territory of the kingdom of Dabiang, which does not conform to the traditional rules of the game, if the kingdom of Dabiang is only a weak country, then Asuna naturally does not care about this, but the kingdom of Dabiang is not a weak country, once the war is launched, how can it end in a short time.

And once the army is dragged into the quagmire of war, in the case of unreasonableness, Asuna and the Duchy of Lane behind it will fall into the pressure of public opinion.

Although this country does not have any so-called United Nations, but there is a large group of sharks, in the case of the Principality of Lane is so strong, even if other countries do not intervene, it is impossible for the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire behind it to let the Principality of Lane sit on the throne. The annual tribute of a vassal state is still considerable, so the Millennium Covenant Empire can sit and watch the Duchy of Ryan swallow the Anglodar Mountains, but it is impossible to sit back and watch the Duchy of Ryan swallow the Kingdom of Dabiang, and then change from a principality to a kingdom.

This is the reason why Asuna needs to find a suitable excuse to go to war against the kingdom of Dabion, only in this way can the mouth of public opinion be silenced, and the mouth of the thousand-year Covenant empire can be silenced. As for the final outcome of the battle, Asuna is very confident that she will break through the capital of the Kingdom of Dabion and annex the entire Kingdom of Dabion before the official intervention of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

Therefore, under the current situation of friendship and peace between the two countries, the Tonys Fortress did not close the trade gate to the Kingdom of Dabiang, which caused the daily flow of people in the entire fortress to reach hundreds of thousands. Under such circumstances, it was not a remarkable or too difficult thing for Sean and his troops to enter the fortress of Tonys, the garrison of the fortress obviously regarded them as mercenaries of some caravan, or something, and no one came to embarrass them anyway after paying the head fee to enter the city.

Although it was not the first time he had visited Tonys Fortress, when Sean entered the fortress again, he was once again shocked by its spectacular scene.

The whole inner city is full of prosperity.

Sean's troops entered the place and felt like a pebble had been thrown into the sea. That is, after splashing a small splash for the city's traffic income. It's gone. Compared with a team of less than one hundred and fifty people like Sean, those large mercenary groups or mercenary groups of hundreds or even thousands abound, but even if it is such a team, it is just a slightly larger splash.

The inner city is quite large, and the main roads are thoroughfares that can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages alongside, and it is clear that the city was built with great detail and planning. The whole city looks exceptionally clean and tidy. The speed of horse-drawn carriages on the main road is not fast, and the galloping of horse-drawn carriages that is common in ordinary cities is completely invisible here in the fortress of Tonys, and except for military emergencies, people are not allowed to ride horses in the inner city of Tonys, and violators are punished with felonies.

If the destination you want to go to is a little far. However, if you don't have a carriage, you can take a taxi on the main road. This kind of rental carriage is similar to the taxi on Earth, except that the entire fortress rental carriage is a product of Asuna's name, so the income in this area naturally belongs to Asuna - and it is a monopoly business, and no one else is allowed to open such a rental carriage shop here.

After all, to maintain the operation of such a fortress, Asuna's expenses are actually very large.

The reason why this fortress city is so popular here is naturally because of its excellent security effect, and the safety of the residents is guaranteed. on the streets. At each intersection, a soldier wearing chain mail and silver-red robes stood guard. And on the roofs of some houses, there were soldiers in the same attire. It's just that the weapon in their hands is not Changge, but a longbow.

In addition to this, at intervals in the inner city, there are watchtowers. This watchtower can observe the situation within two hundred meters of the perimeter, and next to the watchtower is a base station, the patrolling soldiers according to the different patrol routes, each base station must be signed in to ensure that there will be no mistakes on the patrol, and there are about ten soldiers stationed in the base station, they can carry out emergency reinforcements for emergencies within a radius of two hundred meters.

In addition, there are bonfires in the watchtower, and once a major event occurs within the watchtower's jurisdiction, the soldiers of the watchtower will light the bonfire as soon as possible. After that, all the soldiers in the vicinity will block all the passings within the watchtower area, waiting for the fortified troops to come out and deal with the situation.

This is the Tonis Fortress, a wealthy and well-guarded fortress.

Sean walked through the streets of the fortress with his troops, and walked towards the hotel in his impression while telling Cecilia and others about the situation of the fortress, various conditions, and special buildings. The people around them were surprised that Sean knew the fortress so well, and even the soldiers standing guard and patrolling were equally surprised, because Sean actually knew more about the fortress than they did, which was indeed very doubtful.

But looking at Sean's actions, it didn't seem like a spy, so although these soldiers were puzzled, at least they didn't come up to stop them. Of course, it was impossible for them to pretend that they didn't see anything, and soon a soldier followed Sean and the others, but he didn't say anything to disturb Sean's team, and he kept a relatively appropriate distance, so that they could hear what Sean was saying without disturbing Sean.

From this point of view, it is possible to see the quality of the soldiers of the fortress of Tonys.

When Sean arrived at an inn and opened a room for everyone to stay, the soldier waited for a while until he was sure that there was nothing wrong with him, and then he turned to leave. However, Sean believes that soon, more professional people will keep an eye on the movements of his troops, and within ten minutes, Asuna's desk will appear with information about his entry into the city.

"Alright, you guys should rest for a while." Sean spoke.

"What about you?" Cecilia asked.

"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion to meet our future lord."

"Now?" Everyone was surprised.

"Of course." Sean nodded, "Okay, you don't have to go, I'll be on my own." …… This time, things should go relatively smoothly, you don't have to worry so much, we may have to live here for a while, if you don't have anything to do, go and visit this city. ”

With that, Sean left the hotel, and after asking a soldier about the location of the City Lord's Mansion, he walked directly towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Sean believed that soon Asuna would receive information about his movements, and combined with his previous familiarity with the fortress, if he asked to see him at this time, Asuna should have no reason to refuse. This step is a small change made by Sean. (To be continued.) )
