Chapter five hundred and nineteen: Under the storm [Tal]
Storm Pass, frontal city tower.
From the perspective of scale, there is no problem with saying that this is a city.
There are nearly 30,000 regular soldiers in the city; like those in the Chuyu Pass, these are able to leave the pass and enter the forest to perform combat missions;
If you take into account the training level or physical fitness, and the age of poor combat power, these preparatory soldiers responsible for logistics, there will be nearly 80,000 people in the entire Storm Pass.
In addition to the abundant soldiers, the walls on the front of Storm Pass were also exaggeratedly thick;
Since there are no cliffs ahead, additional construction can be carried out randomly;
Over time, the front wall has become somewhat less like a "wall"; from the cliff walls on both sides, it looks like a huge stone pier;
Like Chuyu Pass, most of the walls here are solid, with only a part of the city close to that in order to store some supplies.
The warriors had already taken the monsters down the wall from a special hanging ladder and lurked in the forest;
This is not an ambush at all - because the barbarian knows very well that there are definitely people in the forest; the screams of those monsters are also unignorable.
Hiding in the forest is just to launch an attack better.
A wide but not flat road spreads from the foot of the mountain to the front of the pass;
Since the barbarians can open up the road, the soldiers can also use various methods to destroy it without looking like it;
Digging holes and irrigating water is common, and sometimes traps are set; of course, all of this is done at night.
Some relatively flat sections of road are the most worrying about by the barbarians - after all, what they want to defeat is not the mountain roads, but the people.
Those sections of the road seem to be abnormal, but there are ambushed soldiers and monsters staring at each other;
No barbarian knows when they will choose to attack.
The entire Storm Pass is ready.
From the gate, you can see some of the situation in the critical city: dense soldiers gathered like ants, slowly advancing outside the city on the main road; there would never be a second reason for them to do this.
In about half an hour, they will leave the critical village and climb the Mosen Mountains, and the battle will officially begin.
Taal's team did not participate in the front-line combat.
For the people here, the three thousand warriors he led were not very important bargaining chips; the reason why he was so popular was because of his previous heroic deeds, and the reason why he was valued was because of his outstanding combat mind - of course, now there is an impossible existence of "Black Dragon".
Those three thousand soldiers were not easy to use when guarding the pass; not only were they not sent out, they did not even climb the front wall;
Except for a few leaders who followed Tar to observe, the other soldiers were responsible for transporting combat supplies in the city - they were also familiar with the combat methods.
Tarr is more satisfied with this arrangement, and it is the most correct thing to retain his own strength.
Considering that Tar is not familiar with the terrain here and the way of combat is in trouble, the Orca did not ask Tar about the tactical opinions before, and the two mainly discussed the strategy - that is, the relationship between the Corey tribe and Fares.
Both of them believed that war was not conducive to the development of both sides, and cooperation could achieve better results; the consensus reached a consensus and felt that the relationship between the two was much closer, and the soldiers were quite happy to see this situation - of course, those leaders were different.
They will still strictly implement the orders during the battle - Orcas told Tar before; the supervision system here is very strict. Once a leader intends to cheat and frame him, the one who awaits him will definitely be ruined; once he is sent to other levels, he will have no future.
At this moment, there were not many leaders of Storm Pass on the wall; Orcas were always observing the situation at the foot of the mountain. Beside him was a row of magic horns and commanders who could accurately and immediately issue orders to each team.
Tar could sense that the orca was not in such a good condition; his breathing seemed a little rapid, his eyes fixed on the situation of Critical City, and kept rubbing his fingers - obviously, he was very nervous.
Let him relax? No, there is no need to comfort him with words.
Standing beside the orca, Tar straightened his waist, raised his mouth slightly, and looked at the foot of the mountain with a slightly excited look of anticipation - he knew that the orca could see his expression with his own light;
This expression was not pretending, and Taal did have any extra money: even if the battle was really failed or even the barrier was broken, as long as Amy and herself are safe, it would be impossible to find anyone who is willing to give her life to reverse the situation.
However, unless it is absolutely necessary, Tar does not want to borrow the power of the black dragon - that will cause excessive panic in the Western Frontier and even the Green Sea Plain, and will become further and further away from the real peace.
With Tar's "support", the orcas' expression was slightly calmer - no matter how long the conversation was, Tar had an unscathing mystery in the orcas' mind: such a big black dragon suddenly descended and completely destroyed the cliff according to his wishes!
As long as he remains confident, Storm Pass will not fall. The orca wipes the sweat from his forehead and continues to look at the critical city not far from the foot of the mountain.
What should come will always come.
The city gate was pushed open by the shouts of soldiers; Tar seemed to be able to hear the loud "creaking" sound;
In addition to the armor and weapons purchased from the Central Realm for a lot of money, many people also carry a particularly conspicuous cloth bag on their bodies - undoubtedly the things that orcas are most afraid of.
Judging from the uniform steps and queues of the barbarian soldiers, they are full of confidence in capturing Storm Pass;
What made everyone even more uneasy was that their preparation time was shorter than expected; logically speaking, the return of the "hero" had to celebrate and entertain the affected soldiers - but not.
They returned to the critical city on the afternoon of Tar's arrival at Storm Pass; the next morning, the scout reported that there were abnormal troops mobilization in the critical city.
This is too anxious.
Tarr guessed that it was probably because of the black dragon - a barbarian must have noticed the existence of the black dragon that day.
Because we are afraid of the enemy's terrible power, we must take the lead;
But Talko didn't tell this kind of thing, it wasn't this causing trouble for himself.
The soldiers at the foot of the mountain left the city and embarked on the mountain road that had been opened many years ago;
How many people have never returned after leaving the city gate? No one knows;
Over the past thousands of years, the fierce attacks have caused the soil on the mountain road to be dyed with a little dark red that cannot be washed clean even if it rains.
If wild beasts and monsters also have effective gods, they may have some inspiration - today there will be many "iron cans" or "thick-skinned apes" that are still steaming for them to feast.
But before that, they must stay away from the mountain road that is about to be noisy.
