Scene 139 Cloud Peak City's Request for Help
"My father, is there something wrong with Yunfeng City?"
After a few seconds of silence, the Marquis of Cardan replied: "The Fortress of Sarian is lost."
Shirne was surprised: "Wouldn't that mean... Yunfeng City is going to face the undead army directly!?"
The Marquis of Cardan sighed long and said, "Yes, it's been one hundred and thirty years, and the Fortress of Sarian has finally been captured, and it's not the fortress or something...ah..."
"Then... does His Majesty the Emperor have any orders?"
"It's a convening order. Even we didn't let go of the battle just now. It seems that Yunfeng City is really panicking."
"What should we do? Should we call the wounded to the battlefield?"
"No, His Majesty the Emperor also knows that even if we can provide reinforcements here, it is just a drop in the bucket. What he expects is the assistance of Earl White. Your Majesty... appointed me as the negotiator and beg for the assistance of Earl White on his behalf."
"Earl White..." Hirne said, "If it were him, maybe it could really save Yunfeng City."
"Maybe, everything can only be clear after asking him."
As he said that, Marquis Kadean looked at the letter in his hand again, which listed in detail the conditions that could be agreed upon. According to the emperor's order, as long as Bai Gang's requirements did not exceed these, they could agree on the spot.
…………………………
Bai Gang looked at Marquis Kadian and Shirne and said, "That is to say, His Majesty the Emperor hopes that I can send troops to help him repel the undead army of the Spiritual Holy Tower, right?"
"That's right."
"So can you tell me how huge that army is?"
"According to the news I have received, Yunfeng City is facing the main legion of the Spiritual Holy Tower. The true core force of the Spiritual Holy Tower - the Necromancer Legion is there! In terms of scale, the undead army here in Black Thorn Castle is not worth mentioning at all, and even less than one thousandth of the one in Yunfeng City."
Bai Gang frowned and said, "Marquis, I hope you can understand that although my army is powerful, but facing an opponent of that size... these are two completely different concepts from the rescue of you!"
"Yes, I understand, but you must also understand that if the Duze Empire is over, the next target of the Spiritual Holy Tower will definitely be you! Helping us is actually helping yourself!"
Bai Gang shook his head: "No, my foundation is in China. Even if I give up the land at Storm Corner, it is not unacceptable to me. In fact, if I really want to go to full war with the Spiritual Holy Tower, even I cannot ignore the lives of countless soldiers and the huge military expenditure. Therefore, I must carefully consider this."
Marquis Kadian nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor understands your difficulties, so in order to compensate the Earl for your losses, Your Majesty is willing to completely transfer the land west of the Angoro River to the Earl's name and recognize your king's identity. Of course, there is no problem with the right of way you hoped for before."
Bai Gang thought about the location of the Angoro River and found that the emperor was really generous. He gave himself a land of about the size of Switzerland at once, but this land was a bit tricky - behind it was the Echo Canyon, the front line of the undead attacking the southern kingdom!
That's right, this place has long been destroyed, and only a few sporadic human lords are still surviving. The Duze Empire has long lost its actual jurisdiction over there.
Looking at Bai Gang's smile-like expression, Marquis Kadean blushed a little. Of course he knew the situation of that land, but what if it was so? The Holy Duze Empire had been almost collapsed by the undead. Even if he wanted to compensate Bai Gang, he could not take much else except for this nominal thing. Could it be that the emperor wanted to give up Yunfeng City?
"If I can, I hope to add this place and of course the ownership of the nearby land."
"Here!?" Marquis Kadean looked at the place where Bai Gang pointed, "Qingquan Mine!?"
Qingquan Mine is the largest magic crystal mine in the Holy Duze Empire, or the word "formerly" should be added, because it has been captured by the undead three years ago.
Marquis Kadean considered it. Although the Qingquan Mine was not within the emperor's acceptable conditions, I think His Majesty the Emperor would not reject the reinforcements of Count Bai because of a lost mine.
"Although this is not within my authorization, I personally think it should be fine, but I must contact His Majesty the Emperor first." Marquis Kadian said.
"It doesn't matter. We can talk slowly. I need time to raise materials and summon the army. The speed cannot be faster. If I really want to fight with the undead main force of the Spiritual Holy Tower, this force is not enough."
Back in the room, Bai Gang opened the Pad and transferred the live broadcast of Yunfeng City front line. As early as the crisis of Black Thorn Castle was resolved, the base had already sent a drone to Yunfeng City for reconnaissance.
In the picture, endless army of undead completely covered the earth. The fighting methods of these dead people were exactly the same as those of Bai Gang's previous life. They were still consumed by a large number of low-level undead spirits, and then the middle and high-level main legions completed the final blow.
Now Yunfeng City's defensive power has obviously not been weakened yet.
It should be said that it is worthy of being the strongest fortress that the Holy Duze Empire has been constantly building for a hundred years. The entire castle stands in a huge valley and is surrounded by steep peaks. Except for the front of the castle, the entire valley has been dug into a moat, and Yunfeng City has almost become a huge castle built on the river center.
In addition, a large number of small fortresses and the main city have been established around Yunfeng City. Each castle has a large number of offensive magic arrays. Relying on the magic crystals accumulated over the years, these magic arrays release magic like money, completely shattering all the undead who dare to invade, and even without the defenders on the city wall taking action!
However, Baigang's focus was not on Yunfeng City's super defense. If it was really as stable as Mount Tai, Emperor Duze would not have so eagerly requested reinforcements.
The defense of Yunfeng City will sooner or later have problems.
What Bai Gang was worried about was that this battle was definitely not easy to fight!
First of all, it is the factor of distance.
Mechanized troops are not cold weapons troops, and it is impossible to rely solely on food to fight, which consumes too much supply. Yunfeng City is too far from Hell Valley, and the roads are all hard-earth roads in ancient Earth. Some areas even have no roads at all!
With such shit-like transportation conditions, more than ten trucks must be transported to supply behind a tank on the front line! It is impossible to arrange many troops in front of you without repairing the road first! At least, there must be a frontline airport to shorten the air force's range!
