On the southeast border of the Federation of Science, there is a leisure fortress named Kabat.
The reason why this fortress is said to be idle is of course because it is directly bordered by the horizontal Yunzong Mountains outside the southeast border of the Federation of Science.
Even on the opposite side of this mountain range, they are the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu that are extremely hostile to the Federation of Science.
But with the danger of the Yunzong Mountains, no matter how raging the anger of the Tianzhu Three Kingdoms is, they will not be able to cross the barriers of the Yunzong Mountains and burn directly to the border of the Science Federation.
Therefore, the garrison stationed in the Kabat Fortress is not so much used to defend the frontier, as it is most of the time, it is only to impose a tariff on the past border on the wild beast hunters who enter the Yunzong Mountains.
Therefore, for the senior leaders of the Federation that have been extremely persistent since ancient times, letting the Storm Corps, one of the four most elite corps in the Federation, come and station here, in fact, many Storm Corps soldiers themselves do not understand.
However, this puzzlement finally got the answer a day ago.
Because of an extremely terrifying news, from the mouths of countless beast hunters who had fled from the Yunzong Mountains, it was constantly being passed back to the headquarters of the fortress.
"The scout sent out recently reported that the beast tide had reached an area less than five hundred miles from the fortress before dawn. The spruce forest near the fortress in the mountains is also extremely sparse, so the beast tide will probably be before sunset today. It will directly impact the location of the fortress."
The frontier general of the Kabat Fortress, Winster, heard the words, did not stop in the slightest, and directly boarded the towering watchtower of the fortress surrounded by a group of subordinates.
The majesty of ten thousand beasts has already aroused the boundless yellowness of everything they pass.
And those pervasive smoke and dust can be clearly noticed even if they are just standing on a watchtower hundreds of miles away.
"Burning wolf dung, lighting a beacon, and at the same time expelling those residents who are still unwilling to leave the fortress to a more inner region of the Federation."
Winster watched silently, the billowing dust in the distance, and he quickly calculated the existing forces in the fortress and the fastest speed at which the support could come.
But what makes Winster quite desperate is that, based on his twenty-year experience in the army, this kind of crazy beast frenzy is actually not something this small fortress can stop.
"Order people to rush to the back of the Federation, so that the rest of the important towns are all ready to deal with the impact, and tell them everything here. Although we can hardly stop the beast tide, we must fight for the main force of the Storm Corps. Scheduling time."
Winster's instructions were obviously full of despair.
The huge herd of beasts under the yellow sand in the sky was indeed not able to be blocked by the guards of the Kabat Fortress.
However, the people guarding this place were not only unable to retreat with one step, but they were even able to bear the first impact of the beast wave in the most reckless posture.
"If you can survive, no matter who it is, please report everything that has happened here to the top of the Corps. Every soldier's family here deserves the generous compensation from the Federation."
After Winster said the last sentence, there was no more hesitation.
After firmly grasping the sword in his hand, he walked directly down the watchtower where the crisis had been confirmed, and ordered the gate of the fort to be completely opened.
Let all those who flee from the Yunzong Mountains be able to leave this fortress that is about to be destroyed as soon as possible.
…
But also when desperate and tragic emotions are lingering in the Kabat Fortress.
An even stranger message was also reported to Winster's eyes by his subordinates at the same time.
"There is a woman who has just arrived from the Yunzong Mountains. She claims to be the royal legacy of the Longtuo Empire and claims that she needs the protection of the Federation.
Winster was taken aback when he heard the words, and never expected that such a coincidence would happen again at such an urgent moment.
In the face of such a straightforward asylum request, according to the usual style of the Federation of Science, it is indeed necessary to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
Therefore, even if Winster didn't care about this, he still mobilized a few soldiers and asked them to immediately escort Su Tong to the next federal town.
However, what surprised Winster again was that in the face of the arrangement he made in a hurry, the descendant of the Longtuo imperial family who sought refuge did not intend to give up.
Just as Winster was repeatedly calculating on the map, how to delay the longest time with the least wastage.
The woman who claimed to be a descendant of Long Tuo broke into the military account directly.
And the first sentence she broke into the military account immediately made Winster feel a little alert.
Because the words that Su Tong said bluntly after breaking into the military account were:
"The Storm Corps of the Science Federation is the only one of the four major corps of the Federation that is constructed entirely of garrison units. So the speed of mutual support has always been your biggest drawback."
"But it is precisely because you are composed entirely of defensive units. In fact, compared to the other three more offensive regiments, you are definitely the top one in terms of defensive capabilities."
"So I will not leave here. Once I lose the support of the fortifications, the scattered beast tides that cross the fortress are obviously more threatening to me. On the contrary, if you can follow my advice, I can also guarantee the invasion of the beasts In the middle, this fortress can definitely support the arrival of reinforcements."
What made Winster vigilant was naturally Su Tong's knowledge of the Federal Army.
However, in addition to the subtle vigilance, Su Tong's strong confidence displayed also caused Winster, who was desperate, to rekindle the flame of hope in his heart.
"How do you guarantee that Kabat Fortress will not be captured?"
Faced with Winster's question, Su Tong did not directly tell the way, but directly pointed to the map on the desktop that Winster was still checking.
Then he quickly said, a plan that shocked Winster even more:
"If I remember correctly, as a relatively large pass in the neighborhood, in this level of fortress, there will be about four to five hundred troops. Seventy percent of them are ordinary infantry fighters, and the remaining 30 percent are. They are crossbowmen for long-range suppression, and there will be at least two groups of engineers who operate catapults."
"The recruiting standard of the Science Federation is to have at least the level of 3rd rank in small print. As an elite unit, the average soldier quality of the Storm Corps is at least the level of level 5 in fine print. So that 70% of the ordinary force is completely enough. As a force to defend the city wall."
"As for the crossbowmen and engineers, they are the real factors that determine how long this fortress can be delayed. I hope you can give this part of the command... to me completely!"
When Su Tong said this, he took a deep look at Winster who was suspicious.
Then, the final purpose was stated word by word:
"There is no weakness of any kind of delusional beast that will exist in front of them. If you want to cause the most deadly effective blow to the beast tide, you must shoot from the flanks."
"So, the crossbowmen and the engineers who operate the catapults, they must leave the safest fortress and go out of the wild to outflank the beasts from the siege!"
"Only in this way... can we persist until the arrival of reinforcements!"
