I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 533 Steel Fortress
After traveling for a long time, this advancing army finally crossed the two theaters and entered the central theater.

Compared with the eastern theater where I stayed before, the war atmosphere here is more intense.

Almost as soon as I set foot on this land, the smell of war hit my face.

Even halfway, you can still see sporadic orc teams.

Of course, after encountering the advancing legions, these orc teams soon disappeared from the world forever.

This is not a problem with the defense of the soldiers in the central theater, but the landform here.

In several other war zones, there is almost always a natural barrier in the middle that can isolate the two sides, making it difficult for the orcs to enter the human war zone.

But in the central war zone, which is located in the middle, the landscape is unobstructed. Except for the Yongshuang River in the middle, there are no obstacles at all.

The two sides are completely separated by water!
The entire width of the central theater is almost the sum of the other theaters combined.

In the absence of natural danger, one can only rely on man-made dangerous cities as the battle area between the two sides.

More than a dozen cities were built into a steel Great Wall!
In addition to these dozen fortified cities, there are military towns, military forts and beacon towers of various sizes all over the place.

The two sides fought again and again by the Yongshuang River, with humans attacking and orcs attacking.

When the fighting was the most intense, the river turned red.

The Steel Fortress is directly behind these dozen cities, built on a raised low mountain, less than three hundred miles away from the Yongshuang River.

This fortress is like a giant guarding the kingdom, standing tall at the rear, watching the fortified cities on the front line.

If the weather is good, you can even see a small black speck on the horizon.

This front was stretched too long, and even if there were various military towns in the middle, it would be difficult to completely defend against the orcs' sneak attack.

Teams of orcs can be seen almost everywhere.

……

This time, Chen Fan's destination is the Steel Fortress!
All the legions coming to support will be temporarily hidden in the Steel Fortress, and finally, under the command of Duke Ang, they will rush to Rock City at the same time.

After entering this war zone, we drove for several days before arriving at this fortress.

Huge and sturdy!
This was the first impression that Iron Fortress gave to Chen Fan.

It can't be said that it is very beautiful. It is just a super huge military fortress, but it gives people a sense of peace of mind inexplicably.

The average city wall height is fifteen meters high, and since it is built on a low hill, it is naturally a little higher. It seems to be about the same height as the 20-meter-high city wall of Shengu City.

No wonder it was able to withstand hundreds of thousands of orcs for nearly a month.

This kind of fortified city is truly indestructible!
Before Chen Fan approached the Steel Fortress, someone came out from the fortress to greet them.

After all, an advancing army of 100,000 people is still a big shadow even on the horizon.

"Please stop!"

A small group of cavalry came from afar and dismounted before they reached the legion.

This is a kind of respect.

"Please show me your ID!"

The cavalryman's tone was very polite and he also added something.

"Sorry, that's the rule."

After showing the certificate, the brigade was welcomed into the front of the Steel Fortress. I originally thought that I could enter the city like this, but when I came here, I needed more rigorous inspection.

I heard that Chen Fan and the others came here for the first time, so the advancing army was guided to a small passage next to it.

At the same time, Chen Fan noticed that the small inspection channel they were led to seemed to be made entirely of mithril.

This is definitely an extremely luxurious thing.

You know, the little mithril Chen Fan used to mend that little sword cost several thousand gold coins.

The cost of building this passage is probably hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

This is probably a unique passage in the entire Western Continent.

After all, only the Iron Kingdom, which produces its own mithril, can create this.

In the entire continent, only the Iron Kingdom discovered a mithril mine, so it was so valuable. Emperor Caesar did not know how many times he was thanked by future generations.

The cost is high, but the effect is also extremely useful. Anyone who reacts to magical elements must be questioned in more detail.

But in this way, the efficiency is too slow.

You know, magic crystals will also have magical reactions when worn on the body, and many people carry these things as their own secrets, so they can't be taken out.

One hundred thousand people lined up to get in one by one, and they really had to wait until night.

As if worried about Chen Fan's impatience, a guard came over to explain for a while.

"Our central theater has been troubled by Fox assassins all year round. Many senior generals were killed quietly in the fortress."

"Please forgive me, Captain."

"The regiment leader can enter the city first and handle various matters first. We will have specialized soldiers to guide your legions to settle in."

As expected of the Iron Fortress, there have probably been many conflicts, so this set of rules is quite clear-cut.

That said, we arranged for Beast and Marcus to stay, while Chen Fan took Casey, Madman and Nadasha, and the four of them went into the city first.

As soon as you enter the fortress, you are greeted by the inner city and the outer city. After entering the inner city, it is like coming to another world.

This place is completely different from Neverwinter Fortress. It is full of life everywhere, and you can even see many vendors selling goods. This makes Chen Fan think that he has returned to the royal capital.

Seeing the hesitation on Chen Fan's face, Casey, who had been to Steel Fortress several times, smiled and said, "This place is different from Neverwinter Fortress."

"Neverwinter Fortress was built less than a hundred years ago, while Iron Fortress has existed for hundreds of years. Although it has been expanded, it has always remained here."

"Those retired soldiers who can't find a livelihood when they go back will stay here in the fortress, plus there are many soldiers and their families who are permanently stationed here."

"Many of the children born here will become soldiers, then retire and come back here to continue marrying wives and having children, constantly expanding the circle here."

"Slowly, a living area has formed here, and even though the residents here seem to be the same as the ordinary people in the back, they are not easy to mess with."

"When we were surrounded by orcs, the soldiers were beaten until they were gone. They were all residents of the city, and they spontaneously stood up to defend the city, regardless of men, women, or children."

"Everyone here is a soldier!"

If you look carefully, you can also find the difference between them and the ordinary people living in the rear area.

Chen Fan could also feel a murderous aura in these residents, which was definitely not something ordinary people would experience.

Those who dare to live less than a few hundred miles away from the front line are indeed fierce people.
