Chapter 758 757. Others are here to fight, but you are here to avenge yourself, awesome!
While the war in Barren Mountain resumed, the Crimean Fortress in the rear was also extremely busy.
After returning from the ruins of Black Flame Pass, General Baldwin who was stationed here began to repair the fortress. The main area was underground of the castle. Some earth priests were also invited here to renovate the underground structure of the Crimean Fortress and add additional
The solidification of the earth's spiritual energy.
Obviously, General Winter Wolf did not want the tragedy of Black Flame Pass to happen in his own defense area. The threat of those ratmen was too great, forcing General Baldwin to enter a state of war in advance.
However, the Crimean Fortress is huge in area. It is not so much a fortress as a small fortress group. It is a defense area composed of four large, three and small fortresses built on the mountain pass surrounded by the eastern part of the filthy swamp. Although it is deep
It's not as exaggerated as the Black Flame Pass, but it still has two large lines of defense.
In the past four hundred years, this place has been the real frontline in dealing with the Black Disaster, so it is not easy to renovate it. In addition, most of the silver dwarf priests are still handling tunnel affairs under the Barren Mountain area and reinforcing the Maginot Line.
, the support General Baldwin can get is really limited.
Moreover, the batch of armed blood servants in his hand have been returned to Transia. In addition, more than 10,000 people were sent to the Barren Mountains, resulting in a short-term manpower gap in the Crimean Fortress. It is really disappointing.
have no choice.
But the good news is not without it!
When the general asked the lords of various places in the Kavhoka region to cooperate in the war, the other party could always prevaricate them. But after the news about the fall of Black Flame Pass spread, and when he asked these lords to cooperate again, the other party wanted to take away the manor.
All the private soldiers who worked as handymen were sent over to help.
That enthusiasm made Baldwin fully understand the pressure these guys were facing at this time.
They probably don't think that the Transians can stop the gnolls in the Filthy Swamp. Otherwise, the tragedy of a hundred years ago will happen again. I heard that some cowards have abandoned their territory and ran back to Nordtov. Obviously, they
I don't think that a noble who is a wolf girl will have to sacrifice her life for this newly occupied land.
Some people even think that Kafhoka, which is located next to Transia, is a hot potato.
General Baldwin didn't even bother to comment on this stupid argument. He was very busy now and was making great efforts to reorganize his army. He just wanted to be able to defend the frontier of this new kingdom for His Majesty in the worst case scenario.
Fortunately, the wolf girl also understands the general situation.
Especially after Lord Paying personally went to Beifeng Castle and "discussed his interests" with the young queen in the Ice Palace, Baldwin's various requests were responded to as quickly as possible, and the main body of the Winter Wolf Legion was in the North Wind Castle.
The Western Sabarians could not move lightly to defend the border, so the Great Wilderness Army stationed in Borisgrad received an order to support the Crimean Fortress.
This legion is stationed in this place and is named "Great Wilderness". It is obviously the absolute elite force in Nordtov's already outdated military system.
They always get the best supplies and receive the best training. Even the slow progress of military reforms is to arm them first. Even the Winter Wolf Legion has to be ranked behind this army.
This shows the status of this army in Yankee society.
If the Winter Wolf Legion is the strongest northern border defense force, then the Great Wilderness Legion is the most trusted confidant of kings of all ages. If the wolf girl can get an emperor's crown in the future, then the Great Wilderness Legion will most likely become a true
"Royal Army".
It is absolutely worthy of this heavy honor.
Its predecessor was the main army used by the hero King Boris to conquer the wilderness. It can be said to be one of the national symbols of the Kingdom of Nordtov. This army has countless honors in the past, and the most dazzling one was one hundred years ago.
In the fourth black plague of , there was a bloody battle with the gnolls led by the King of Bones at the foot of the North Wind Castle.
They guarded the capital for four months. The entire legion's battle losses reached an astonishing 270%. The organization was defeated twice and almost came to the edge of cancellation. However, the last batch of recruits recruited from Beifeng Castle lived up to their ancestors.
The last will of the man was forced to guard in the real mountain of corpses and blood until the moment when the war situation reversed. Well, an important reason why the jackals failed to capture Beifong Castle a hundred years ago was because of the great "Winter General" from the wilderness.
Already.
The winter of that year was extremely cold, and even the army commanded by the Bone-Gripping King could not maintain its full combat effectiveness in the climate of more than 40 degrees below zero.
To put it simply, the Great Wilderness Legion is a force with a "military soul" and is the real anchor of the "Clay-footed Giant" Nordtov. Their dispatch represents the Wolf Girl's final decision and will to fight, and also makes General Baldwin
The worries in my heart were temporarily relieved.
This was not the only gift the wolf girl gave to her most trusted general. At noon on the third day of the Barren Mountain Blockade, a special item was given to her through a strange flying-winged beast and its equally strange driver.
Arrive at the Crimean Fortress.
The appearance of the flying-winged beast is quite peculiar.
It is like a combination of an eagle and a giant wolf carved from some kind of stone. The body is as long and slender as a wolf dog, and the head is also like a wolf, but it has a pair of wide wings and forelimbs like eagle claws, and the whole body is like granite.
It's gray and white, but if you look closely, you can see that this thing is a living creature, it just has strangely colored feathers.
This is a wolf vulture!
A ferocious beast that only lives in the cold and cold places of the wilderness, it has the habit of living in groups like a wolf and the speed and ferocious personality of an eagle.
There is only one creature in the world that can tame the wolf vulture as a companion and war beast.
That was the short man standing next to the wolf vulture.
He is the same height as the Silver Dwarf and the Brass Dwarf, but his body is slimmer. He has rough cheeks covered with ice and gray-white skin. His eyes are blue, like gems in the cold wind.
However, due to his skin color and body shape, this dwarf wearing bearskin armor and carrying a hunting spear always looks unsmiling and as serious as stone.
But if you underestimate this guy because of this, he will definitely poke a few holes with his war spear.
This is a frost dwarf.
To be precise, frost dwarves.
The last of the three dwarf clans, they have more primitive and simple habits than the silver dwarves, and a more stubborn and conservative character than the shield dwarves, a branch of the brass dwarves.
They live in the Frost Castle near the North in the Great Wilderness. They have their own territory like the Thorn Vampires. They are an autonomous race in the Kingdom of Nordtof. They also fully assisted the King of Heroes in the process of conquering the Great Wilderness, so since then
They are friends of the Romanov family.
In the hundred years since the powerful official Rurik usurped the throne and established the Rurik dynasty, the frost dwarves completely cut off contact with the Yankees.
It is said that the heirs of the Hero King escaped the liquidation of the Rurik Dynasty by relying on the protection of thorn vampires and frost dwarves.
Therefore, although the frost dwarves are not nominally involved in the politics of the Kingdom of Nordtof, everyone knows that the frost dwarves are loyal allies of the royal family, and only every king has the ability to persuade them to join a certain war.
"Salute to you! Wolf Lord running on the ice field!"
Seeing General Baldwin stepping onto the flying platform with his cane, the frost dwarf messenger who came to deliver things immediately greeted him in a thunderous voice:
"I have brought greetings from Lord Bader, as well as a gift delivered to you by Her Majesty the Wolf Lady. Please come forward to receive it!"
The request was rather rude, but General Baldwin didn't care.
He had been stationed in the north for most of his life and had dealt with frost dwarves a lot. He knew that these rough guys had such a stubborn temper, and formalism was an indispensable part of dealing with frost dwarves.
The general took a few steps forward and saw the messenger take out something wrapped in white bear skin from behind. After untying it, he revealed a stone staff with the heads of giant wolves, explosive-toothed bears and golden eagles carved on it.
carving.
He handed the thing to the general and said loudly:
"Frost Castle has sent eight thousand Ironfoot troops here to support you in the battle against the Jackals. Lord Bader will also come, but he is not the commander. He is here because of personal matters. You are the commander!
The Acting Lord and Her Majesty the Wolf Lady have appointed you as the honorary commander of the Iron Foot Army in the Black Disaster. We will fight to the end with the Winter Wolf Army in this castle that exudes an outdated atmosphere."
"An iron-footed army of eight thousand men?"
General Baldwin was taken aback. He immediately felt the frost dwarf's sincerity. He took the scepter and asked:
"My friend who is as stubborn as a rock in the wind, your Iron Foot Army only has 30,000 soldiers in total. Why did you dispatch so many this time? I don't think I have the dignity to let the frost dwarves empty their wealth for me."
"Of course you don't have the face, little Baldwin. It's not bad if your father and grandfather come alive and beg us together."
The frost dwarf messenger laughed heartily, not caring about the general's face at all.
This is normal.
In the frost dwarf society, which is conservative, stubborn and formalistic, those who can be chosen as messengers are all highly respected dwarves. He is a distinguished dwarf lord in his own right. According to what he means, he is even the same as Baldwin's father and grandfather.
There is friendship.
He looked around and lowered his voice. Well, no matter how low the frost dwarf's voice was, he could probably be heard by the surrounding guards.
In short, he said in a thunderous voice:
"It's hate! Little Baldwin.
Lord Bader found his father, the cause of the unexpected death of our previous High Lord Tyral.
That's no accident!
It was Model Skullstealer, the bandit leader of the Western Sabarians, who planned all of this.
The gang of Skullstealers has been wiped out by our hunters, but that bitch ran away early, and he also took our holy artifact, Winter Strike! We spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to get through Port Joseph
The defecting Imperial Heavenly Warlock Astromancer inside tracked down the bastard and found him hiding somewhere in the Dark Mountains.
If Baldr wants to inherit the position of lord, he must get back the sacred object and kill the villain with his own hands. It just so happens that Her Majesty the Little Wolf Girl invites us to send troops to fight against the jackals.
Anyway, it was a smooth matter, so the elders generously sent out eight thousand-man teams at once."
"The Western Sabarians crossed half the continent and ran to the Dark Mountains? Why do I feel that there are some reasons for this that you didn't tell me?"
General Baldwin narrowed his eyes, but the frost dwarf rolled his eyes and said:
"I won't tell you for your own good. Don't ask any questions. I'm leaving now. You don't need to keep me to eat. Bring me a few bottles of wine to drink on the way. The Iron Foot Army will be here in a month at most.
Guard this place!
