The military district of the fort is one of the most well-preserved areas of the fort.

Although the garrison of the fortress is 50,000 defenders, the general military units of the Miracle Continent are counted as regular soldiers, and do not include logistics, baggage, reserves, etc. Generally, the garrison guards responsible for a fortress, although there will be no baggage troops, but there will definitely be logistics and reserves, so the total number of troops is definitely more than 50,000, at least about 100,000, and it is also the integration of military and agriculture.

Judging from the scale of this military region seen by Sean and the others in front of him, it is still more than enough to accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people, and if there are more, I am afraid that this military region will not be able to accommodate it.

In this way, there must be more than one military district in the fortress. However, Ko Jilei only said that only the military region in front of him still has living people, so it is conceivable that the situation in other military regions may be completely bloodbathed.

At this time, Sean and the others were welcomed by the officer to a conference room.

"To be honest, my rank is not very high." After entering the conference room, the officer smiled wryly and said, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Pyras, my official rank is only the commander of a thousand, and I belong to the captain of the fourth team of the third branch of the Savage Fortress Legion. …… Before the war broke out, I was on patrol in the front city, but the rear was raided by the army of the undead of the tide of death......"

Listening to the words of the centurion of Pyras, Sean finally knew what was going on in this wild fortress.

The official garrison of the fortress consisted of only 50,000 men, and their duty was to guard the fortress, that is, to garrison, monitor and patrol the city head in the most regular way. The front and rear walls required one shift each, each with a task time of eight hours, and each shift consisted of five detachments with a total of 5,000 men. In other words, each patrol of the walls in front and behind the Savage Fortress requires the strength of one detachment, and a total of three detachments of troops are required for three shifts. The remaining two sub-regiments were used as reserve forces in case of contingencies.

The day-to-day patrols and maintenance of law and order in the city were entrusted to the reserve forces.

When the army of the undead attacked the city, it happened to attack the barbarian fortress from the rear, and it happened that the 6th to 10th teams of the 3rd Division were in charge of guarding it. At that time, as soon as I saw the size of the army of the undead, I immediately sounded the alarm. The 1st and 2nd Regiments, which served as reserves, immediately rushed to the rear city, while the 4th and 5th Regiments also made corresponding preparations and provided reinforcements.

The entire 45,000 troops were all invested in the battle in Houcheng District, which was already very powerful.

But as a result, he didn't expect that under the attack of the undead army like a sea, Houcheng City only lasted less than an hour before it was breached, and then it was an extremely tragic battle into the city. At this time, the people of the entire fortress knew that this time the Death Tide offensive was unusual, and they began to counterattack one after another. But at this time, it was obviously too late to react, so the entire fortress fell into a battle to the death.

Pyras was lucky, he led his troops and several other commanders to withdraw from the former city immediately, and then under the leadership of a deputy commander, he gathered the routs all the way, gradually forming a sizable force, and pouring into the city. However, the number of enemies is too large, and the resurrection of the dead can be used for the next offensive, which naturally increases the difficulty of defense.

As the war dragged on. Naturally, the number of troops in the fortress began to decrease sharply, and finally retreated to this relatively well-defended military region. Of the five commanders, only Pyras and another were seriously wounded, and even the deputy commander was also wounded. After that, it was a four-day holdout, during which the deputy commander organized several counterattacks, but with little success, which made the battle much more difficult.

Especially during the last counterattack, with the deputy commander and another commander killed in battle. Pyras became the highest-ranking commander of the Savage Fortress at the moment. And the order he gave was naturally to hold on to this last stronghold and hold on as much as possible until the arrival of reinforcements, after all, they only had less than 6,000 troops left, of which more than 4,000 were reserve recruits and logistics, and the real soldiers were only more than 1,000.

And just one day before Sean and the others appeared. They had just finished fending off an army of the undead. It's just that I don't know why, after this wave of invasion returned in vain, the army of the undead suddenly retreated and left completely, so the whole city became a dead city.

After listening to Pyras's description, Sean's brow furrowed.

"I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky." Sean let out a heavy breath before he spoke, "Do you know where these armies of the undead have left? ”

Pyras shook his head, "I don't know. …… At that time, I was in the mood to know the movements of these undead army. ”

Sean sighed a little helplessly: "There is a high probability that those undead have entered the wilderness. ”

Speaking of this, Sean glanced at Pyras again before he spoke, "The reason why those undead armies did not continue to attack you is because they feel that you people are no longer of much value, and it is not worth them to continue to waste their time here. …… They were evacuated yesterday, and unless they're moving very fast and with a very clear purpose, they're now in the Savages. ”

"Those armies of the undead collecting materials?" Cecilia exclaimed.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Sean nodded slightly, "It's a pity that we don't have necromancers here, so we don't know much about the transformation level of materials, but I think those undead armies will storm this city, and they should be here to collect materials." …… I also looked at the defense facilities of this military region just now, and if the undead army wants to attack it, it will take at least one to two days to completely take it, but for them, there is no value except for you. ”

Pyras was stunned for a moment.

Although Sean's words were very ugly, they really solved Pyras's long-standing doubts.

He had seen with his own eyes that the undead army had collected the corpses of many soldiers and civilians, and the undead army, which had been storming this military area before, decisively chose to retreat after capturing the bodies of the deputy regimental commander and another commander. Pyras didn't know what was going on, but now he understood it completely, because there was no reason for the undead to continue to spend on it.

"Let's be honest." Sean looked at Pyras, then spoke. "I'm going to take over the reins of this fortress."

"What...... This ......" Pyras was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to react, "This ......"

"Of course I know that this fortress belongs to the Millennium Covenant Empire, but do you think you can still hold this place with your current strength?" Sean said lightly, "You don't have to expect the Millennium Covenant Empire to be able to send reinforcements over. This army of the undead is not an ordinary wave of death, but an invasion of the bone plane. So it's worse than you can imagine. ”

Sean said this in front of Angel, and his intention was very clear: he didn't treat Angel as an outsider, after all, he had just experienced the incident in the Forest of Sighs together, so he simply revealed his thoughts to Angel. However, this does not mean that Angel can influence his thoughts, and Sean's subtext means that he wants Angel to be a buffer between him and the conflict between him and the Millennium Covenant Empire.

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself all the time." Sean spoke, "I'm the Grand Duke of the Void Duchy, Sean. Connelly. I have contacted my subordinates. They quickly rushed over for reinforcements. …… But my meaning is also very clear, I will take over all the command of this fortress. Of course, if you are not willing to cooperate, I will not embarrass you, and this military region will still be under your autonomy. ”

Pyras looked at Sean, and he could already tell from Sean's attitude that the other party's words were not meant to be joking. And with their words alone, it is impossible to hold such a fortress. Even at the moment, it is difficult to defend this military region alone. But if he gave up the Savage Fortress like this, Pyras's heart was also very struggling. After all, he is a soldier of the Millennial Covenant Empire.

"And what if the letter I sent for help is useful, and reinforcements from the Imperial War Department arrive?" Pyras spoke, "You...... Will the command of the fortress be transferred? ”

"Huh." Sean smiled slightly, then got up, this gesture indicated that the conversation between him and Pyras was over, "Then we will see how it happens." ”

Hear Sean's words. Pyras knew very well what Sean meant, and the Grand Duke of the Void would definitely not be able to get the fortress so easily. After all, as the closest place to the Savage Lands, Pyras still knew a lot of rumors about the Grand Duke.

Soon, Sean and the others left the military area, and they did not stay in the military area. Naturally, Pyras didn't keep it.

However, after leaving the military area, Sean spoke: "Alexis, I'm going to trouble you." ”

"I know." Alexis nodded slightly, and then walked in the direction of the Savage Lands, she knew that Sean meant to let him go to the Wild Lands to scout and see if the undead army had really entered the Wild Lands.

Kokire, on the other hand, is responsible for staying behind to protect everyone.

As for William's side, Sean wasn't lying, he had indeed informed Nolo and asked him and William to immediately lead the army over - and that was done when he entered the fortress.

It can be said that from the moment Sean decided to take this fortress, he was already in action. The reason why I said all these things frankly was just to avoid some unnecessary confusion and trouble. And these are all for the sake of Angel's face, otherwise Sean would not have said these greetings at all, and directly let William lead the army over.

"Rilista, I have a task for you." Sean spoke.

"What task?" Rilista asked.

The strength of several of them is only in the Golden Realm, and they have always been a burden since the beginning of the Forest of Sighs, and when they heard that there was a task, they naturally showed a very positive side.

For no other reason, they must prove their worth.

"Keep an eye on the people in Pyras, and ask them to go back as soon as they want to leave that district." Sean spoke, "I don't want them to come out and make trouble when I'm on other missions. ”

Rilista and the others glanced at each other, then nodded their heads to accept the task.

"Miss Angel, I need you to do me a little favor next." Sean smiled and said, "I hope you'll be able to get your Frost Legion into the Stronghold. Of course, you can get back all the military information and information that your empire has left in this fortress, and I will not steal it. …… Here's the pay. ”

Angel looked at Sean and was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "So...... What do you want my legion for? ”

"Porteering."

"Porteering?" Angel was in disbelief.

"Yes." Sean laughed, "The army of the undead wants corpse materials, and this fortress has just been sacked, so it has become a dead city. But before that......" At this point, Sean smiled and continued: "The Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce has always controlled the economy and trade of this fortress. Because of the sudden attack of the undead army, there are definitely not many people who can escape, and even if they do, they may not be able to bring much with them, so now ...... This fortress is full of countless materials and treasures. ”

Angel's eyes widened.

"And in this world, I'm afraid no one will dare to swallow the goods of the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce except me." (To be continued......)
