Lord of War

  Shaun’s team did not stay long in this small village.

  They just took a day off, and after purchasing some food from the village, they set off on the journey again. And the destination of this journey is their terminal station-Tony Fortress.

  This huge fortress towering over the Angroda Mountains, costing tens of millions of gold coins, took a year to build.

  The entire fortress is not a simple foundation building, but a magnificent building formed by relying on the direction of the Angroda Mountains. It is different from the two-story structure of conventional fortresses. Tonys Fortress is a rare five-story building, imitating the ancient Ark Sanctuary-of course, this so-called sanctuary blueprint was designed out of imagination by posterity. Not a real Ark sanctuary.

  But in any case, Tonis Fortress is indeed the most magnificent building on the Marvel Continent to date.

  This fortress consists of five parts: the outer city, the inner city, the outer defense area, the inner defense area, and the fortress area.

From the map, the entire fortress looks like a horizontally placed "t". The uppermost horizontal of the word T is the outer city on the side facing the Kingdom of Darbion, and the side facing the Principality of Ryan It’s an inner city, and it’s also a city residence—Although Tony’s Fortress is the name of a fortress, this fortress is not a complete military fortress. There are also a large number of civilians living here, and its permanent population is even greater. At 100,000, it is the fifth most populous city in the Principality of Lane.

  And the vertical line below the t character is the real core area of ​​the entire fortress.

  This building complex is built on the mountain. The outer defensive area is connected with the inner city, but the fortifications on the city wall can take care of the part of the outer city. That is to say, once the enemy breaks through the gate of the fortress and enters the outer city, the fortifications in the outer defense area can be put into use immediately, which brings extremely strong lethality to the enemy; even when the enemy breaks through the outer city and turns into the inner city In street fighting, the outer defense zone can still play a very high defense assistance role.

  Moreover, there is a vast area in the outer defense zone that can allow a thousand-man cavalry unit to charge and fight. In order to level this terrain, Asuna paid a lot of money. As for the inner defense area and the fortress area further behind, they are made of complex labyrinth buildings. These two places are the real ground meat battlefields of Tonys Fortress. If you can't completely take down the fortress area, it can't be regarded as completely occupying the entire Tonis fortress.

  This fortress can accommodate a total of more than 300,000 soldiers, which is four times the number of soldiers that can be accommodated in the Fortress of St. Drones. However, for a fortress of this size, the number of soldiers for daily maintenance, patrol, and guard has naturally reached an astonishing level—each shift requires at least 30,000 soldiers to complete the guard, patrol, guard and routine maintenance of the entire fortress. According to the three-shift system of the military code, this fortress needs 100,000 soldiers to work every day.

   is called the best in the world.

  It’s just that this fortress has never experienced any war baptism since the day it was built.

  The Principality of Lane is also famous for this fortress.

  Tonys Fortress can be said to be the core of the entire Tonys collar. It is the shame of the Kingdom of Darbion and the honor of the Principality of Ryan! Its existence puts the entire rear of the Principality of Ryan in a safe environment. As long as this giant fortress is not breached for a day, the Principality of Ryan will never be invaded by the Kingdom of Darbion.

   And want to break this fortress, how easy is it to say?

  At least with the military power of the Kingdom of Darbion, this is an impossible task.

  It took Sean and the others a month and a half to get from Danawi to the Fortress of Tonys. This is not a long time, because it has to pass through the territory of an earl and a viscount. This Viscount’s territory is the one that Asuna exchanged territory with. It’s just that after so many years, this Viscount doesn’t seem to be very good at business. His territory is smaller than when Asuna gave it to him. Quite a few, and after all these years, he is still a Viscount, and his future can be imagined.

The Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Darbion are now in a honeymoon period of peace-in fact, even if the Kingdom of Darbion wants to be peaceful, it will not be possible because the border is connected with Tonis of Asuna. In the circumstances, they had been completely scared by the marquis, so now they didn't dare to provoke the marquis at all, for fear that she would have another excuse for war.

  In order to avoid this situation, the border garrison of the Kingdom of Darbion retreated fifty kilometers from the border line, which made Asuna even if she wanted to provoke, no one dared to take the move. And she can’t blatantly let the army reach the territory of the Kingdom of Bion. This is not in line with the traditional rules of the game. If the Kingdom of Darbion is only a weak country, then it doesn’t matter that Asuna does it, it’s just Darby. The Kingdom of Ang is not a weak country. Once a war is launched, it is impossible to end it in a short period of time.

  And once the army is dragged into the quagmire of war, without reason, Asuna and the Principality of Ryan behind it will fall into public opinion pressure.

  Although this country does not have a so-called United Nations, it has a large group of sharks. With the Principality of Ryan so powerful, even if other countries do not intervene, the Millennium Covenant Empire behind it cannot allow the Principality of Ryan to become a big one. The annual tribute of a subject country is quite impressive, so the Millennium Covenant Empire can sit and watch the Principality of Lane swallow the Angroda Mountains, but it is impossible to watch the Principality of Lane swallow the Kingdom of Darbion, and then change from the principality to a kingdom.

  This is the reason that Asuna needs to find a suitable excuse to fight against the Kingdom of Darbion. Only in this way can it stop the mouth of public opinion and the mouth of the Millennium Covenant Empire. As for the final result, Asuna is confident that before the Millennium Covenant Empire officially intervenes, it will break through the capital of the Kingdom of Darbion and annex the entire Kingdom of Darbion.

  So in the current situation that the two countries maintain a friendly peace, Tony Fortress did not close the trade gate to the Kingdom of Darbion, which resulted in the daily flow of people throughout the fortress as high as tens of thousands. Under such circumstances, it is naturally not something eye-catching or too difficult for Sean and his troops to enter the Tonis Fortress. The fortress garrison apparently treats them as mercenaries of a certain caravan, or something else. What? After paying the head fee for entering the city, no one came to embarrass them.

  Although it was not the first time to come to Tonys Fortress, when Sean entered the fortress again, he was shocked by its spectacular scene again.

  The whole inner city is full of prosperity.

  Sean’s troops entered here, feeling like throwing a stone into the sea, that is, after splashing a small splash for the city's traffic income, it was gone. Compared to a team like Sean with less than one hundred and fifty people, there are hundreds or even thousands of large mercenary groups or mercenary groups. It's nothing more than a slightly larger splash.

  The area of ​​the inner city is quite large. The main roads are all avenues that can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages. Obviously, they have undergone extremely detailed consideration and planning when building the city. The entire city looks unusually clean and tidy. The horse-drawn carriage does not travel fast on the main road. The phenomenon of horse-drawn carriage galloping that is common in ordinary cities is completely invisible here in Tonys Fortress, and apart from military emergency reports, people are not allowed in the inner city of Tonys. Riding horses in the city, offenders will be punished with felony.

  If the destination you want to go to is a bit far away, but you don’t have a carriage, you can go there in the dangling rental carriage on the main road. This kind of rental carriage is similar to the taxis on the earth, except that the entire fortress’s rental carriage is the product of Asuna's name, so the income in this area is naturally owned by Asuna-and it is still a monopoly business, and everyone else It is not allowed to open such a carriage shop here.

  After all, to maintain the operation of such a fortress, Asuna’s expenses are actually very large.

  And the reason why this fortress city is so popular here is naturally because of its excellent security effect, and the safety of residents’ lives are guaranteed. On the streets, at every intersection, there is a soldier in chain mail, a silver-red robe and holding a long ge, standing guard, and on the roofs of some houses, there are soldiers in the same costume, but they have weapons in their hands. It's not a long ge, but a long bow.

  In addition, there is a watchtower every some distance in the inner city. This watchtower can observe the situation within two hundred meters of the surrounding area, and next to the watchtower is a base station. According to the different patrol routes, soldiers on patrol must sign in every time they pass by a base station to ensure that there will be no errors in the patrol. Moreover, there are about ten soldiers stationed in the base station, and they can provide emergency reinforcements for emergencies within a radius of 200 meters.

  Moreover, there are bonfires in the watchtower. Once a major incident occurs within the watchtower's jurisdiction, the soldiers in the watchtower will light the bonfire as soon as possible. After that, all nearby soldiers will block all passing by the watchtower, and wait for the fortress to come out to deal with the situation.

  This is the Tonis Fortress, a rich and heavily guarded fortress.

  Sean led the troops walking on the streets of this fortress, while telling Cecilia and others about the situation of the fortress, various situations, and special buildings, while walking towards the hotel in his impression. The people around were surprised at how Shaun knew the fortress so much. Even the soldiers who stood guard and patrolled were equally surprised, because Shaun knew the fortress better than they did. One thing is indeed very doubtful.

   But looking at Sean’s actions, it didn’t seem like a spy, so although these soldiers were puzzled, at least they didn’t come up to stop him. Of course, they couldn’t assume that they hadn’t seen anything. Soon there was a soldier trailing after Sean and the others, but he didn’t say anything to disturb Sean’s team, and he kept a reasonable distance. You can hear what Sean is saying without disturbing Sean.

  From this point of view, we can see the quality of the soldiers in Tonys Fortress.

  When Sean came to an inn and opened a room in the inn to let everyone live, the soldier stayed on the sidelines for a while, until he confirmed that there was no problem, he turned and left. However, Xiao En believed that soon there would be more professional people watching the movements of his unit, and within ten minutes, intelligence about him after he entered the city would appear on Asuna's desk.

   "Well, you guys take a break first." Sean said.

   "What about you?" Cecilia asked.

   "I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion to meet our future captain."

  "Now?" Everyone was surprised.

"Of course." Xiao En nodded, "Okay, you don't need to go, I can do it alone.... This time things, progress should be smoother, you don't have to worry so much, we may have to Staying here for a while, if you have nothing to do, just go and stroll around the city."

  After that, Xiao En left the hotel, and after asking a soldier about the location of the City Lord’s Mansion, he walked directly towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

  Sean believes that soon Asuna will receive information on his own movements, and then combine his previous familiarity with the fortress. If he asks to meet at this time, Asuna should have no reason to refuse. This step is the small change that Sean made.
