It was noon the next day when the commander of the First Legion of the Massodra Empire arrived at the battlefield. Fortunately, the First Legion had already assembled its troops when the opponent began to retreat and was ready to deal with changes at any time, so it saved a lot of time to get there at this time.

The First and Fourth Legions of the Massodra Empire converged, and more than 100,000 troops appeared in front of the Thrad Fortress. Although the number of troops was several times higher than that of the Saint Wayland Empire in the city, they still had no confidence to conquer this strong city.

In the temporary camp, Jit, the commander of the First Legion and Mits, the commander of the Fourth Legion, were discussing tactics. The current situation is really serious, because it is not just about losing a fortress. The main problem is the location of the Fortress Thrad.

The Thrad Fortress is like the Nesinde Fortress on the St. Willan Empire, and is in a very important position. If it is not a military point, there is no need to block a fortress here, right? The biggest problem now is that the loss of the Thrad Fortress, the door to enter their empire is opened. Jitt and Mits thought of each other's tactics almost at the same time, which is to divide their troops to attack their territory.

"At present, there should be a small number of soldiers in the city, and that part of the soldiers may have entered our territory." Mits had been reconnaissance for a while before Jit's troops arrived. Judging from the number of troops currently deploying city defenses on the city walls, the Second Corps on the opposite side should be divided.

"You must never let the opponent's soldiers enter our territory." Jit said anxiously. The problem is very serious now. You must know that the southern border of the Massodra Empire is guarded by the two legions, and the other legions are in other places. Therefore, once the opponent's troops enter their territory, no force can stop them. It is equivalent to saying that the road is smooth and the other party can directly penetrate the core of the empire.

The other party burns, kills and plunders in their own territory. What they are most worried about is that if the other party's troops advance directly towards their capital, the nobles in the capital may choose to negotiate with the other party when they see this situation. Those nobles are absolutely greedy for life and death. If the war burns in front of them, they will definitely choose to consider this matter.

It is obvious that the people of the Second Legion are fighting this abacus. Once the peace talks in the capital are successful, they don’t have to fight here, and the war will end directly. They can even imagine the situation of the peace talks. At that time, the Tedmala area, which they have been fighting desperately for more than a month, will probably be directly ceded to the other party by those nobles in order to withdraw their troops. What is their battle over the past month? What is the sacrificed soldiers? Neither of both of them can accept such a result, so they must come up with a solution.

"Although our troops are dominant now, it is still very difficult to attack Fortress Thrad." Mits here certainly knew the strength of the fortress he managed. Even if the opponent had divided his troops, there were still 40,000 to 50,000 troops in the city. With such a defensive scale, even if he attacked the city day and night, it would not be possible to defeat it in a short time. However, he proposed a new idea, "We might try to attack Fortress Nesinde."

Miters' idea is still very good. The Nesind Fortress in the south is also the gateway of the St. Viland Empire, so they just need to capture the other side and enter the hinterland of the St. Viland Empire. Both sides are equivalent to changing families. In this way, their nobles are anxious and the other nobles are also anxious. This can be considered a reverse of the current situation. Moreover, although they are attacking the fortress, compared to the fortress in front of them, they have burned the fortress themselves, which is probably a little easier to fight than this fortress.

"No." Jit thought about it for a moment and shook his head. "Hergar's men have already gone to Nasind to defend. We have been one step slower. Even if we capture Nasind Fortress in a short time, the opponent will still be faster than us. If we choose to attack the opponent's territory at this time, the nobles in the capital will not agree."

This is a time difference problem. Although both sides can change their families, if one side changes quickly, of course they can win. In the current situation, they are stuck in two fortresses and cannot move in a short period of time, while the opponent's troops are already attacking their territory, so the time difference cannot catch up.

"We have no choice at the moment, we can only attack Fortress Thrad," said Jit. "I know this is the enemy's plan, but it is an open plot. Even if we have insight, we still have to do what the other party arranges."

"Damn it!" Mits also knew that Jit was right. The only way they had to capture the Fortress of Thrad as soon as possible. There was no choice other than that. Otherwise, the nobles on the capital would surrender in a hurry. They would never wait until the enemy really attacked the capital before they could react. If they knew that the troops on the front line did not even want to return and turned around and changed their homes with the other party, they would probably have a talk with the other party immediately. If they attacked the Fortress of Thrad, they might have waited to see the result of this tough battle. In other words, this siege was mainly not a strategic purpose, but to give the nobles on the other party's side confidence.

"Sorry, I underestimate the enemy..." Mits couldn't help but say.

"I didn't expect that the mage leader could have such a strategy." Jit also said, and he had to pay some responsibility for this matter. When the opponent's First Legion retreated, he did not choose to go up and pursue immediately. After all, they were the attacking side, repelled the enemy's attack and saved the territory. Of course, they won. Jit was a little timid at the time, and gave up the possibility of dangerous options for chasing when he felt that he had won, which would lead to the safe evacuation of the First Legion. Unexpectedly, it was the other party's plan.

"No matter what, we are very passive at the moment. The only way is to capture the stronghold as soon as possible." Jit continued, "Transfer my order and start the attack immediately, fight day and night, and you must conquer here in the shortest time."

"Report." As he was speaking, a soldier rushed in outside and shouted to the two of them: "Legislature Commander, something is not good. Black smoke rose behind the Thrad Fortress, which is the direction of Shulailad."

When the two of them heard this, they immediately walked out of the gate of the camp and looked forward. Sure enough, they saw black smoke rising from the north of the Thrad Fortress. Seeing this situation, they knew what was going on. The north of the Thrad Fortress was the territory of their Massodra Empire, and the closest to the fortress was Shulailad City. Now that the city has been captured by the other party, it is obvious that the other party has begun to head towards their hinterland as he thought.

"Start the siege immediately." Jit also ordered immediately.

With the sound of a few attacking horns, the offensive and defensive battle of the Fortress of Thrad officially began. The troops on the Massodra Empire were anxious and attacked very fiercely, but the water god who defended in the fortress had already been prepared and commanded the defensive battle in an orderly manner. It has to be said that the materials in the fortress were still very abundant, and the soldiers maintained their morale very well because they had just come down to the city. On the contrary, the soldiers on the opposite side probably knew what was going on. They began to become a little impatient when they saw the black smoke coming from their territory. The troops on both sides quickly reached the same level, and there was no advantage or disadvantage at present.

At this time, to the north of the battlefield, near Shulailad City, part of the Second Legion was cleaning the battlefield. The battle here had just ended and it didn't take much time. Although Shulailad City also had a small number of soldiers to defend, it was impossible for them to have any decent resistance against the 30,000 army, and they did not expect the enemy to come.

Although this is not far from the front line, the two imperial legions are in front of them. Who would have thought that such a large force could come from the front? What is the situation? Their legion was defeated? The front line collapsed? Otherwise, how could the opponent's troops bypass it?

Due to the small number of people and the constant suspicion that the front line was defeated, the defensive troops had no intention of fighting and did not spend much effort. The troops of the Second Legion occupied Shulailad City. After entering the city, they were not polite and began to burn, kill and loot according to the previous orders.

Ye Junwen is currently in this army, of course he is not the one who leads the army. The leader in this army is Bevli, but the God of Water also said that although Bevli was leading the team, she also asked her to obey Ye Junwen's command. This God of Water has also considered it. There are many other generals, but I am afraid that they will not listen to Ye Junwen's problems. Bevli was the first to support Ye Junwen before, so nothing should happen, so he sent Bevli to lead the team.

"It's almost done, when will we set off?" Bevli asked Ye Junwen next to Shulai Lad City's lord's mansion. She didn't like this kind of burning, killing, looting, but she also knew that it was a tactical arrangement now, and the purpose of notifying the front line has been achieved. In her opinion, she should set off as soon as possible.

"I'm not in a hurry for the time being, I want to tell you some private matters." Ye Junwen looked at the current situation. There were no outsiders. He took this opportunity to talk to Bevli about the marriage.
