Chapter 406 Chapter 409 Northland Situation
"Quick! Since the messenger is here, call in quickly !"

Toban's voice echoed on the Chiling city wall, like the cold wind in late autumn, whistling one after another. The flags representing Chiling Castle and the nine tail section of the Allied Forces swayed left and right in the wind, as if they didn't know how to greet this winter. It knows that it is not easy to spend the winter this year, just like everyone in Chiling City knows it.

"I still need to search and disarm first. There's been too much assassin lately." Tormund raised his chin, and Iron Fist Thorens opened his large hand and touched the messenger.

Toban tugged at his coat with both hands, wrapping himself tighter. It was not the autumn wind that made him feel cold, but the current situation. Humanity has completely torn apart with Jiangu clansman, is attacking everywhere, and is fighting everywhere. The canine fortress was attacked by the humans in the east, the millstone city was besieged by the humans in the south, and the elves...the elves did not stand by, they were following the human army, doing business with them in weapons and spell equipment.

At this time, we have to thank the Jiangu ancestors for their extraordinary efforts, leaving behind a solid city wall and fortress, and of course a network of tunnels extending in all directions. In Chiling City, Tuoban has been carrying out the policy of first army, and the army has been stationed with grain and weapons. With the water conservancy and city defense facilities that are half-agricultural and half-military, human beings have not been able to pose enough threats for the time being. However, Tuoban also knew that if the canine fortress guarding the southern pass were to fall, the humans who obtained the equipment of the Jiangu tribe would likely go straight in and attack Chiling City directly.

"Checked, the weapon has been removed, no problem." Tohens patted the shoulder of the Barbarian Race messenger, followed behind him and said: "Friend, understand, this is also for safety. "

"For the Warchief, that's fine." The Barbarian Race grinned, fangs reflecting pale rays of light in the autumn sun. He took a few steps forward, clasped his fists, saluted Toban, and said, "I have brought a letter and a message. The canine fortress is requesting reinforcements from Chiling City."

" Let me see the letter." Toban extended the hand, Tohens stepped forward, took the letter, opened it, checked that there was no problem, and handed it to Toban.

The main defense direction of the Fangtooth Fortress is the north, that is, the Barbarian Race facing the north. The south of the castle is a large urban area. It can be said that the city wall is useless. Since the elves used the flying city to deter the Barbarian Race in the north, the canine fortress exists more as a commercial distribution center and a settlement for the Jiangu tribe. Even the fortress in the north is no longer repaired, let alone the city wall in the south.

Having been with Dagon for a long time, Toban is very aware of the threat of elves, so he has expressed and implied many times that the lord of Chiling City must repair the city wall in the south in case of emergency. In the end, the Canine Fortress didn't listen to it. Instead, in order to make it easier for business from south to north, demolishing the city wall and widening the road is equivalent to leaving a charge field for the cavalry that humans are best at. This is a huge hidden danger, and the nurses see it in the eyes and worry about it. Earnest and well-meant advised have been said countless times, but it is useless.

In the letter from the lord to the lord, the dog-tooth fortress sincerely and tearfully appealed to Chiling City for help. In addition to military power, construction workers, alchemists, runemasters, and weapon and armorers are also needed. It can be said that the Dogtooth Fortress is the war ability of Chiling City. They hope to join forces to destroy the allied forces of the eastern human beings, and keep the gateway to the northern land, so that everyone is safe. But this plan also has huge risks: what if it is caught in one pot?

"We can't bet our family property on the table of Canine Fortress." Tormund's attitude was very firm, he said: "The state of the city defense in Canine Fortress is too bad. It will be higher than here. The same strength, the number of enemies that can be fought is too different."

"I know." Tormund nodded, Torban winked, and then asked him to the courier. What else to report.

"I observed that people were alarmed in Canine Fortress, morale was very low, and there was a lot of gossip in the tunnel network." The Barbarian Race messenger said: "Well... I also heard some rumors that the Northland Some of the tribes have been bought by humans and may be stabbed in the back at any time. The dwarves in the canine fortress have a history of fighting with the northern tribes, who doesn't have blood on their hands? I think they are very worried about this rumor. Others...others No more."

"Well, you observed very carefully. If there is no other report, just go to rest and eat something hot to warm your stomach." Tuoban waved his hand and waited. After the courier retreated, he said to Tormund: "I am very aware of the danger you said, but if the canine fortress is lost, we cannot afford the risk."

"Yes, it is too dangerous. Tormund said: "In addition to the city wall, the canine fortress is also the hub of the tunnel network. There are a lot of winter equipment in the warehouse there, and it is possible to arm a human army that can attack against the wind and snow. From the strength From the looks of it, the only reinforcement for our Jiangu tribe is the coming winter.”

“If this snow can fall earlier and then bigger, the predicament of the Canine Tooth Fortress can be solved.” He slapped twice on the battlements and said, "Canine tooth fortress still needs support, it must be supported, right?"

"Yes, the key is how to support." Tormund said: "I suggest dividing it into two Road. First of all, the infantry should go. Bring the city defense tools that can be carried, and the heavy crossbow that can be disassembled into parts and reassembled is the best. The number of infantry... Let the logistics baggage team also wear the clothes of formal soldiers and go with the infantry. This looks like a lot."

"Looks like? Do you want to keep the main force in Chiling City?"

"Yes!" Tormund said: "The Dogtooth Fortress I think I'm important, but it's not the only way from the elven territory to the north. We must guard against the possibility of a human army coming from the direction of Wolf's Eye Castle - the elves may open the gates of the castle for them."

"Well, if the immigrants can come, the army can come. Those elves are shameless and must be guarded." Toban thought for a while, nodded: "The first route is no problem, it seems that a good number of reinforcements can improve the Canine Fortress. Morale, this is very helpful for continued combat. What about the second way?"

"Griffin, I recommend sending Griffin Knights." Tormund said: "Although there are not many, only One hundred and thirty Gryphon Knights, but that is a class of troops never seen in the Fangtooth Fortress, and it can improve morale. These Griffin Knights do not participate in the attack, and spend all their energy on harassing the rear. Supply lines, warehouses, the market with the army, and even those The homeland of the human Knight. Raid, destroy, burn, just strike, not even kill.”

“Does their training support these actions? Toban frowned and asked, "It's only been a little over a year, and the real riding combat training is only 3-4 months. Isn't it a bit too hasty?" "

"Learn in battle, it's impossible." Fortunately, they don't need to fight with the enemy, just set fire and destroy, and the human cavalry can't catch up with them. Besides, even if you encounter cavalry, the sound of griffins has a strong deterrent effect on horses, and those horses have to lose their temper. "

"I see what you mean, let them slow down the human army, dampen morale, kill some of the lords' will to fight, and then wait for winter to come." Toban was nodded, agreeing: "If it snows on a large scale, we will be half won." I agree with the two-way plan. What should be paid attention to in the details? "

"It is best for you to lead the infantry yourself." Tormund said in an astonishing tone, "There is a lord over there. If you don't go, I'm worried that your army will be arbitrarily dispatched by the lord over there, and it won't work." So it's better that you go, so that you are equal in status. Remember, the basic purpose of that infantry is to protect you, not the canine fortress. "

Tormund continued: "When it snows, you will come back. At this time, we will send craftsmen and alchemists over to help build the fortifications of Canine Tooth Fortress, just in time for the infantry to protect them." When spring arrives and everyone withdraws, we have done enough to not delay spring ploughing. ”

The nursery class thought about it carefully, and nodded it hard: “This arrangement is very reasonable. With our infantry watching, Canine Fortress must let our artisans come back. "

A faint smile appeared on the corners of the mouths of the two Jiangu clansman, this kind of tacit understanding may be the best emotional adjustment in the current environment.

"fief lord, you have one more thing before you leave." One thing must be done, and that is to reunite with the Nine-Tails and other tribes to strengthen the relationship. In addition, must strictly investigate the rumors in Chiling Castle. Tell the people directly that there may be some northern tribes bought by humans, but it is definitely not the nine tails. We must keep our eyes open to guard against spies, but we must not regard relatives as enemies. "

"Yes, this must be done." Toban overlooked the territory below the mountain and sighed: "I really didn't expect that the war in the Infinite Labyrinth was so simple. I thought I could go back and continue to develop, but I encountered the war initiated by the human lords face to face - they If you want war, go through the infinite labyrinth to fight monsters! "

"They don't want war, but the elves want Jiangu to die." said Tormund, "Beware of the elf, beware of the elf, must beware of the elf." "

"I know." I'm worried about the Griffin farm side now. Shirouai entrusted the Griffon Farm to us for Dagon's sake, but there has been no news from Dagon for many years, will her mind fade? I heard... the Aznerel family is trying to find her a husband. "

"I don't know. Only take one step at a time. Tormund sighed, said, "There's no need to make it too clear with Shiloh now, just drag it... If possible, buy some gryphons from her." Spend money to do business, and everyone gets along well. "

"Well, that's all." get through this winter... get through this winter! Toban's body shook suddenly, he even staggered a step. "en? Did you feel dazed?" "

Tormund nodded, and then he pointed to the Southwest-facing sky. On the far horizon, a thin red line rose from the ground, through the clouds, into the sky. What was that?
