The chasing army marched towards the Black Soil Fortress in an orderly manner. On the way back, Su Xiao saw a small group of imperial troops patrolling the vicinity of the Black Soil Fortress from time to time. Once he found the tribal army, he immediately fired a signal bomb similar to firecrackers into the sky.
From time to time in the night sky, signal flares were launched into the sky, and hundreds of thousands of imperial troops were divided into several groups, and the tribal troops in the nearby area were cleared.
Of course, there is a time limit for this kind of cleanup. When night falls completely, the clearing will end, and the army will gather at the Black Soil Fortress and guard it.
Unsurprisingly, the tribal army will not give up the black soil theater. After all, this is one of the three major theaters, and this is not the first time that the tribal army has been repelled.
In this battle, the tribal army was beaten very embarrassingly. This was not only because the tribal army was not united enough, but also because Carlos came to the front line in person, which made the imperial soldiers' momentum reach an indomitable level.
When Su Xiao followed the army back to the Black Soil Fortress, there were several piles of corpses piled up outside the Black Soil Fortress. These corpses were burned by the fire, and puffs of black smoke rose into the air.
"Get up, be careful, slow down the lasso over there."
"Whoever sees Martha, let him appear in front of me within five minutes."
"Report, all our sacrificed soldiers have been moved to the Black Soil Fortress."
The soldiers were busy on the battlefield, and Carlos, the commander of the legion, stood among several officers, who reported something from time to time.
Su Xiao's troops dispersed after arriving near the Black Soil Fortress, and all soldiers could move freely.
The recruits climbed up to the fortress through the rope ladder. They were looking for the clerk in the black earth fortress, and wanted to write a letter to their family, telling them that they were still alive.
As for the veterans, they searched for property on the battlefield, and they were more willing to send valuable things to their wives and children than letters.
Su Xiao walked towards the Black Soil Fortress. He was going to find the Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar. Unsurprisingly, the Battle Merit Store would open in a short time, and the heads of the major adventure groups would also go there. After this battle, meritorious service It is not only Su Xiao who is enough to exchange for [Holy Oak Branches].
Fortunately, Su Xiao had an encounter with Nicholas Caesar before, so he was able to walk through the door.
Su Xiao climbed up the black soil fortress along the rope ladder. The stone slope outside the fortress has been removed. It has no other function except to facilitate the tribal army to attack the fortress.
Above the city wall of the fortress, the ground was dripping wet, and some light red puddles reminded everyone of what happened here before.
Su Xiao smelled a faint smell of blood. Although the corpses on the city wall had been disposed of and the ground had been cleaned, the smell of blood lingered for a long time.
After inquiring with the soldiers who came and gone, Su Xiao learned the location of Nicholas Caesar, who had moved back to the Black Soil Fortress with all his property.
The stone wall of the entire fortress is about tens of meters wide. The inner side of the fortress wall is hollow, which is used for hoarding supplies and living for soldiers. As for the outer side, the whole body is made of obsidian. This side is often attacked by the tribes, so it is not strong enough.
Su Xiao entered the inside of the city wall of the fortress, which resembles a large war fortress, with 16 floors in total, and each floor has a corridor that runs through the entire floor horizontally, making it easy to walk.
The 16th to 6th floors are for soldiers to live in, and they are separated into a thousand-square-meter Datong shop. The 5th to 4th floors are where officers live, and they are divided into small compartments. The better the conditions, the 3 floors to 1 floor are used to store supplies.
Su Xiao entered the interior of the fortress, and a strong smell of gunpowder came to his nostrils. Large pieces of black gravel were scattered in the corridor. This is the masterpiece of the tribe. They wanted to blow up the black soil fortress before, of course they had to start from the hollow side.
There are torches stuck on the wall of the corridor of the fortress, the flames are flickering, and the inside of the fortress is a little damp and cold.
According to the information obtained, Nicholas Caesar lived on the 4th floor, a place where only senior military officers could live.
Su Xiaogang walked to the entrance on the 4th floor and found several soldiers blocking the entrance.
"Ask this lord to show his officer's certificate."
These soldiers stood upright with serious expressions.
"I am the team leader Bai Ye. I have no proof yet. I was granted an official position during the war."
Su Xiao doesn't have anything to prove his identity. However, he doesn't need an identity certificate at all. The war just ended, and there are a lot of newly appointed officers. None of these officers have officer certificates. As for pretending to be an officer, most people don't do that. It's a capital offense.
Several soldiers looked at each other, they hesitated.
"My lord, I'm sorry, but without a certificate from a military officer, you can't enter here for the time being."
A soldier stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is nothing you can do about the little ones, don't make things difficult for the little ones"
the soldierThere is already a pleading meaning in Chinese.
"That's a good idea."
Su Xiao roughly guessed what was going on. Needless to say, these soldiers were placed here by 'careful people'. Now that the war in the Black Earth Fortress has just ended, the officers are very busy and have no time to come back here. The only ones who will come here at this time are One type of person is the contractor who wants to exchange military exploits for items.
Su Xiao opened the War Merit Store after he got the position of officer. The same is true for the leaders of the adventure group. The small leader can recruit 200 subordinates. This is actually prepared for the adventure group. The leader of the adventure group will recruit the subordinates as subordinates Soldiers, in this way, you can help your regiment members to open the battle merit store, and only when the battle merit store is opened, the battle merit will be displayed.
The few soldiers who are blocking Su Xiao now are probably recruited by those regiment leaders to prevent other contractors from seeing Nicholas Caesar.
Even if you can't block everyone, it's good if you can block some. During the war, military discipline is strict, and most contractors dare not make trouble.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao pushed away the soldiers in front of him and walked straight forward.
"etc."
These soldiers didn't shout "stop" or "shoot if you dare to approach", but subconsciously shouted "wait", which made Su Xiao more sure that these soldiers were paper tigers.
Su Xiao paused and looked sideways at the soldiers. They should be the ones who are guilty now.
"My lord, my little man"
A slightly older soldier stepped forward.
"If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you."
Facing this kind of deliberate obstruction, of course Su Xiao would not be polite.
""
Several soldiers took a few steps back. They had a feeling that if they stopped Su Xiao again, they would really die. If they died now, they would die in vain, and they would be charged with crimes after death.
Su Xiao walked into the corridor on the 4th floor of the fortress, and he saw a dozen people standing in the corridor from a distance, as if they were waiting for something.
After seeing these people, Su Xiao recognized them as contractors, because there were 'acquaintances' among them, that is, the pair of sisters and brothers whom he met outside the quartermaster's tent before. the younger brother.
More than a dozen contractors all looked at Su Xiao. These dozen people were divided into four groups, which basically meant that there were still four adventure groups left in the black soil theater
