"What a big joke, just because those mobs are delusional to attack our fortress?" A man with a greasy face and a chubby body stuffed himself in a leather chair. While drinking the wine, he smiled and said, but this chair seemed too narrow, so the fat man was not sitting very comfortably. He sighed and said, "It seems that I need to make another chair."

Another tall man shook his head and sighed, "I have been in Canon for almost 20 years. You have changed at least five chairs. Dear leader, you seem to have to pay attention to your weight."

The man has long, straight black hair and slender hands and feet. The facial features are jīng, and jīng is too perfect. Things that are too perfect can sometimes look scary, just like this man. He looked icy, like a machine without emotions. The man named Thunder, Essien has known him for a long time. When building the fortress of Canon, this man came to the fortress with a paper of the Papal Hall. The official document designated him as the commander of the 6th Division of the Knights, and the previous commander was already in the battle of the Bloodstained Road. Die in duty.

The thunder that came to Canon Fortress that day is what it is now, and nearly twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, but this man is still like this. As if time had no effect on him, Thundering's ability, appearance, and even habits remained astonishingly consistent. People who don't know Thunder may think it's nothing, and those who know him and don't have enough strength to understand him may think he is a little weird.

Only Essien, who is also the commander of the army, would understand the terribleness of this man. He is like a machine that never goes wrong, maintaining a terrifying degree. Essien knew that even a self-disciplined person. After magnifying his life, there will always be slight fluctuations. Or the mood, or something else. But since he met Thunder, his daily life can only be described by machinery.

Whenever every day should appear where, where thunder will be. He won't be one second late, he won't be one second early, it's always just right. This reminded Essien of certain rumors, those rumors related to some secret experiments in the Pope's Chamber. These experiments are classified as secrets, and their level is so important that if they are leaked, they might disintegrate and disintegrate the pillar of faith in the Pope's Hall.

Because those experiments actually violated certain taboos in the canon.

The fact that Thunder always return to the Pope's Hall in March every year has made Essien's conjecture in this respect even more serious.

Although on the surface, he was debriefing in the Papal Chamber. But for Essien himself, the quarterly report is nothing more than a remote communication. Only for Hanukkah every three years, the legion commander, who weighed nearly a ton, had to return to New Rome.

Moving out of the chair with difficulty, the overwhelmed seat scattered into a pile of parts in a groan. Essien sighed and said, "It's the sixth one now."

Lei Ming glanced at him flatly and said quietly: "Captain Essien, I think it is necessary to pay attention to the message from Captain Yafidi."

"You talk about how to value the law?"

Essien turned around in the command room, couldn't find a suitable chair, and simply sat down on the ground.

"Add a guard post and overhaul equipment. If I remember correctly, your knight hasn't been in operation for almost a year. I suggest you perform a comprehensive inspection today in case you need it." Leiming gave a few more breaths. He suggested, and finally said: "We have to send a jīng sharp reconnaissance team to the Fracture Bay to take a look. If the pirates strike, it will be the closest landing point to us."

"Well, well, do as you said. But I still don't think it is necessary. Canon is not a soft Fassero. How can Zhengzheng Tiebi be ripped apart by a group of pirates. If they really fight, then Even better, I have forgotten how long it has been since a war has been fought." Essien said excitedly, a fat face flushed. But then he sighed and said, "But the inspection by the Knights of the Round Table is avoided, **** it, I don't know if I can squeeze into the driver's cabin."

Lei Ming looked at his fat body, and there was a ray of worry in his eyes. It wasn't Essien's weight that he worried about, but his combat power. The long peace and wine jīng, I am afraid that this legion commander has fallen to the lowest baseline. As for himself, what strength he was 20 years ago, and what strength he was 20 years later. There is no reduction, but it will not increase.

From the perspective of time, neither increase nor decrease is actually not a good thing.

This day, Canon hasn't been so busy for a long time. The working slaves watched in confusion as the soldier lords picked up the equipment they didn't know how long they had left in the warehouse and started training camps on the fortress square. Usually there is no such training, but it is rare to see it a few times a month, and today I haven't gotten the training. If you pull out the soldiers of all the knights in the Pope's hall, you will find that the soldiers of Khanom are fatter and fatter than the other knights. No way, who makes Canon's life so good.

Other knights usually have to fight against pirates or something, but no pirate with no eyesight will come to attack Kannon. So in the Knights, being able to go to Canon as a soldier was like a vacation. Therefore, Canon's soldiers are not much different from Essien. After staying here for a few years, you will find that you have gained a lot of weight.

But not many people have noticed that their physical strength, reaction, will and fighting instinct are all diminishing accordingly.

When the soldiers of the Knights were training, the dusty artillery, high-shè machine guns and other equipment on the walls of Canon City finally waited for the opportunity to be refurbished. It's just that the thunderous order was issued, and the trimmed soldiers didn't seem to be so caring. They were checking their weapons while chatting and laughing quietly, so something just missed out under their noses, and the soldiers didn't even notice it.

The only one who was working seriously was probably the mecha technician who was inspecting the two Knights of the Round Table. After all, this is the seat frame of the two commanders of the army. They can clearly distinguish what can be sloppy and what must be done. In the final analysis, no one believes that pirates will hit Canon's iron plate so fearlessly.

In the afternoon, a group of light locomotives drove out of the fortress and headed towards Fracture Bay along the Emerald Forest. They are guards under Lei Ming's command, possessing a level above ordinary soldiers. More importantly, they are serious, careful and efficient. Even if they live in such a comfortable environment as Canon, they have never lost the sharpness of the past.

For them, Thunder is very relieved.

The machine fleet is like a dagger, and the cold metal light travels through the green emerald forest, forming a sharp contrast. There are beasts living in the forest, and most of them are harmless. And the more powerful mutant beasts died long ago under the development of the blood-stained road. Back then, the Pope’s Hall did not fight, and the first battle must be done with all its strength. And the meaning of full force is not something that can be satisfied by defeating the opponent. It usually refers to the extinction of races. In the Dark Ages, there were at least tens of thousands of extinct species on the Western Continent.

Without the source, there would be no evolution and growth. This is also the reason why the alien races and high-level mutant beasts in the Western Continent have almost disappeared.

Human dominance was indeed a good thing at the time. At least most of the resources on the Western Continent are under human control, but from the perspective of the entire era, it does more harm than good. Without competition, the Western Continent is like Fort Cannon, and human evolution has slowed down. You may not see anything in a short period of time, but if the time is counted in a hundred years. So today in Fort Cannon is tomorrow in the Western Continent.

It's just that few people think about such long-term issues. Most humans will only focus on the present, and few will look at the shortcomings that will take a hundred years later. Living in this precarious era, one can see that ten years later, he can already be called a wise man. If you can see through a hundred years, you are already a saint.

It is a pity that there are countless mediocre people, but very few saints. Looking at the whole world, probably not many people will take such a long-term perspective.

At least Hoddle won't.

He is the captain of the "Lightning" Guards under Lei Ming, and he was only a 15-year-old boy when he followed Thunder to Fort Canon. At that time, he was still ignorant, and joined the army only with a lot of enthusiasm. Because it has good potential, it has been cultivated by thunder. It was already under the thunder, the second person in the Sixth Army.

Hoddle, who is already thirty-five and sixty-six, has short white hair written with skill, but has a pair of flexible eyes on his square face. He is a rigorous but flexible person. During the years of service in Canon, Hoddle was not in the fortress for at least half a year each year. With Thunder's approval, he continued to fought in front of various legions and participated in many activities against pirates.

Other legions also welcome such a person with the ability to reach the seventh rank, and Hoddle is only one step away from the higher ranks.

At the end of the day, Hoddle came to Fracture Bay.

This is a peculiar geographical environment.

The coast of the West Continent moves from west to east, and is a coastline with a gentle drop. But here, a piece of n-shaped terrain was suddenly recessed. If the mainland is an unstructured cake, then the Fracture Bay is like a corner of this cake being roughly torn off. This is also the origin of the name of the bay.

The coastline of the mainland extending eastward from Fasero is not a sandy beach or various shallow rocky beaches, but a towering rock wall. The rock wall is not only a natural dam on the outer edge of the mainland, but also a barrier against assaults from the sea. Only by coming to the Fracture Bay, will ships be able to sail a little inland because of this strange fracture surface. Even Fort Cannon built a simple wharf here in the bay, but the wharf was out of use ten years ago, and now there are only the wreckage of some facilities.

The coastline continues to extend to the east, and then to the north, will gradually appear more gentle beaches. Therefore, if the pirates come to attack, there is no other way but to land in the Fracture Bay.

By the time the convoy reached the bay, it was already dark. Hoddle and his team will spend one night in the ruins of the bay pier, and the next day they will start searching near the bay. They inspected meticulously, but there was no sign of a large number of people and horses landing in the bay or the pier. Calculating from time, if Fásero's attack was just a pirate's feint, then the main force should have reached the bay long ago.

However, looking up, except for a few isolated islands on the sea, there are no traces of ships, let alone a huge fleet. Hoddle frowned and reported the news to Thunder. Then the guard stayed nearby for another night and returned to the fortress the next morning.

"Look, I said it's impossible." Essien was holding the bottle in one hand, and was sweeping the food in front of him into his big mouth with the other. The head of the regiment's mouth is like a black hole, eating nearly tons of food every day.

Thunder is still standing at the window, his eyes fixed on the vast sea facing the other side of the fort: "Hodel did not find any pirates, but that doesn't mean we can relax. Commander Essien, I suggest the previous one. The order must continue, and some people have to be dispatched to the Fracture Bay. The pier, we may have been abandoned for too long, and we have to reconsider building it."

"This is not good, the lords of the Pope's Hall will not allocate more funds for us." Essien frowned.

Lei Ming glanced at the food on his table, Essien shuddered, and then angrily protested: "I will sue you, Thunder, you are not allowed to beat me with these food ideas. This is the only joy in my life!"

"If you can cut the food supply in half, let alone a pier, we will build ten." Lei Ming said blankly, "Head Essien, sometimes I suspect you are not eating food. It's gold coins. Piles of gold coins."

Lei Ming said that he would check the training of those soldiers. After he left, Essien frowned and said, "How can a guy like you understand my pain. There is no war to fight, no woman to do. If there is no food, I will almost never find life." Have fun. Hey, forget it, eat less today."

Captain Essien did eat a little less today.

However, it is only a little bit.

It was another night.

But tonight, the beasts inhabiting the Emerald Forest cannot be as calm as usual. At this time, they should return to their lair to rest, but at this moment, they are far away from their lair. The direction the beasts are far away is closer to the fortress Cannon.

Half a kilometer away from the edge of the forest, a group of night birds wanted to fly. But I just expanded my wings, but found that no matter how I flap my wings, I can't fly into the sky. The air without any resistance at ordinary times became sticky like a swamp, and the invisible force field confined these birds not far from the canopy. Then another force field swept over the birds, and all of these birds stopped any activity and fell off one by one.

The bird that fell on the soft ground has lost any vitality.

Countless dark shadows passed quietly in the forest, they were like a dark undercurrent, quietly flowing in the forest. What the undercurrent refers to is the fortress Cannon under the night.

Although it was late at night, Canon was still lit up. In a golden pupil, you can even see a soldier yawning in the sentinel on the high wall of the fortress. The owner of the pupil is Zero, and behind Zero is the Poseidon group that is not in Hoddle's report!

They actually arrived long ago, and on the morning Essien received Fásero's call, the Poseidon fleet quietly reached the Fracture Bay. However, the fleet did not stop. After leaving a total of 3,000 Poseidon soldiers, the fleet stayed away from the sea as ordered by Zero. The Zero Harmony Poseidon Group swarmed into the Emerald Forest for the first time. Although the Poseidon Group had a large number of people, the Emerald Forest was big enough. The vast virgin forest is more than enough to hold three thousand people, and although the thundering guards are sharp, they are not yet capable of inspecting the entire forest drippingly.

The Poseidon regiment even stayed in the forest for a day without moving, until the thundering guards left before they pulled out of the fortress.

Now, Canon is right in front of him, and his defenses are ordinary.

"According to the plan." Ling said lightly.

So Su Yue came out, and behind the Destroyer, followed a team quietly. There are only seven or eighty people in this team, but the people are very strong. It is like a sharp long sword wrapped in a scabbard. Although the long sword has not been out of its sheath, its sharp edge has already appeared. This team is the Trident of Poseidon, a group of capable people with an average combat power of Tier 6.

Under the cover of Ye Sè, the trident quietly passed through the forest, and quietly touched the fortress.

The weather is beginning to fall, and autumn is here, can winter be far behind?

Although it was only autumn, the night weather had already chilled, which made the uniform of the Knights look a bit thin. So a sentry on the wall couldn't help but shrank his neck. He yawned, calculating in his mind how long it would take to change shifts.

The wall of the fortress of Khanom is 30 meters high ~ lightnovelpub.net~, which wraps the main building of the fortress behind in an arch. There are five guard towers on the city wall from west to east, and each guard tower is equipped with two high shè machine guns and ten guards. In addition, in other parts of the city, there are four menacing guns and several secret guards. There is an inner wall behind the city wall, and there is a partition between the inner and outer walls.

This intermediary called "Between Death" can deliberately open the city gate to let the enemy in when needed, and then trap the enemy in the Death Room and wipe out the enemy with firepower on the inner and outer walls. Naturally, in Canon's twenty-year peace period, such a design was useless.

Behind the city wall is the square area, and there are several areas nearby, including warehouse areas, slave houses, barracks, command posts, and mecha warehouses. The buildings in each area seem to be unplanned, but in fact the space between buildings is very limited. This makes the passages in the fortress twisted and twisted. If you are unfamiliar with the fortress, it is not surprising that you will even get lost in this place without any signposts.

This design considers that once the enemy force breaks through the inner and outer walls, the special environment here can be used to divide the enemy force to the greatest extent. While reducing the impact of the enemy forces, it also allows the fortress host to turn frontal combat into street combat.

This is Fort Cannon, a "city" designed entirely from the perspective of war.
