C138 The Situation Gradually Calmed down

The Battle of Suode Castle had begun at the same time as the defeat of Zhonghua City. Peng Luosi, who had obtained more than 800,000 soldiers, had wisely chosen to only fight one side (Suode Castle only has two gates, north and south).

The commander of the garrison in Suode Castle, Mabel, ordered them to abandon the city and retreat after two days of tough defense. About 130 thousand soldiers of Suode Castle lost more than 30 thousand in the two days of defense. More than 20 thousand civilians were killed by the soldiers of the Blood Sun Army after the city was destroyed.

However, in these two days of cruel defense, under Mabel's personal command, the Black Sky Alliance suffered heavy losses. A total of twenty thousand soldiers from the Blood Sun Army and seventy thousand soldiers from the Haitian died under the city wall of the city assaulter.

Mabel led an army of less than one hundred thousand soldiers from the north gate, which Peng Luosi deliberately did not send a single soldier to, and prepared to retreat to the north, which was not Fourth Prince's territory. Unfortunately, they did not leave the range of a hundred miles from the Suode Castle. They were intercepted by an elite force of over a hundred thousand Black Heaven Bloody Sun Army. Nearly a hundred thousand troops from the Suode Castle were scattered into pieces. Only a small portion of Mabel's personal guards protected Mabel as he broke out of the encirclement and fled to the north. The rest of the soldiers were either killed or captured. There were also some soldiers who fled to the Zhonghua City where Tianchen was.

The chaotic war had come to an end. After Peng Luosi sent a 100,000-man army to defend the Suode Castle and let some of the soldiers from the Haitian build the destroyed city walls, he received an urgent order from Sha Mannsi. When the other princes of Black Heaven Empire saw Sha Mannsi send a large number of troops to assist Fourth Prince in Haitian, the defensive forces in the territory became much weaker. When they joined forces to attack Sha Mannsi's territory, Sha Mannsi saw that the defensive line was in imminent danger. He had no choice but to order Peng Luosi to lead the main force of Bloody Sun Army back to "pacify the chaos. "

Without the reinforcements from Black Heaven Empire, although Haitian's Fourth Prince and Wei Er already had an army of Black Sky Border Guards, In front of the one million troops sent by the First Prince and Second Prince, it was only enough to maintain the defensive line that they did not have the advantage in. The total number of reinforcements sent by Wei'er and Hei Tian was only enough to maintain the defensive line. The situation in Haitian seemed to have calmed down after Black Heaven Empire obtained the strategic location of Suode Castle. In addition to maintaining their respective defensive lines, the major powers had no choice but to train their reserve forces. In order to prepare for the war in the future.

. . .

After Tianchen accepted the defeat of tens of thousands of soldiers in Suode Castle, he lost his patience to pay attention to the situation. He turned his gaze to the undeveloped area in his territory. After choosing a suitable terrain, he found a suitable location in a forest near Magic Forbidden Forest and the Lami Wasteland.

As the population of Zhonghua City increased with the arrival of the war refugees, Tianchen decided to build a small town stronghold at this place. He wanted to control the territory crisis brought about by the change of ownership of Suode Castle!

Although Lami County was a rare large county in Sea Heaven Empire, there were few towns in the county. Zhonghua City was the only large city in the county, but the rest were small towns that did not even have city walls. Without the invasion of a large number of soldiers from the Suode Castle to defend the Black Heaven Empire, the Lami County was like a poor virgin who had taken off all her clothes. She would be ravaged by the wolves at any time!

The location where Tianchen was going to build the stronghold was a small town in the Qiu Lin region. The small town that originally had no city walls would often be invaded by small groups of black sky cavalry. Now that Suode Castle was gone, the town was almost empty. The reason Tianchen liked it was because it was one of the two main roads of the Suode Castle to attack the Zhonghua City. If he wanted to attack the Zhonghua City from the direction of the Suode Castle, he would have to pass through this small town. Or he would have to pass through the corridor of the Great Wilderness, but if he passed through the corridor of the Great Wilderness, They would have to spare their boss some distance. Moreover, the corridor of Great Wilderness was connected to the northwest territory of Haitian and the southern territory where Fourth Prince was located. Although there weren't many people walking, it was a place where forces intersected. If the Black Sky soldiers wanted to walk from here, it was very likely that it would cause the sensitive nerves of many forces. Who knew who they wanted to attack?

Therefore, once Tianchen built a small fortress in the Qiu Lin Town that he chose, Tianchen would control the Black Sky to attack the Zhonghua City. As long as he sent two to thirty thousand soldiers to guard this place, then even if a million soldiers attacked, the Zhonghua City would have enough time to deal with everything.

"Master, the captives have been arranged. Another twenty thousand people have passed the identity verification and are willing to join the Zhonghua City's Self Defence Force! The new force that was formed two days ago has close to eighty thousand people. There were still about ninety thousand people still undergoing the identity verification investigation. The statistician below roughly estimated that there should be an increase of around six to seventy thousand people. The remaining 2,000-30,000 might not be easy to investigate or be unwilling to join our army. . . " Hank submitted the new statistics to Tianchen.

Tianchen frowned. The name of the Self Defence Force was not good. However, it was not suitable to save the national army. After all, Haitian had not died yet. "Forget it. Let's call it the Guard Army. With these hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, As long as the morale is encouraged, it should still be useful. Let the old soldiers split up and let them teach these fellows. . . Although they used to be private soldiers, they are still better than being re-recruited! "

" Yes, my lord. If that's the case, can we form two divisions? Or can we directly form an army? " Hank's eyes lit up. He immediately betrayed his thoughts of becoming a general.

Tianchen did not mind. Those who wanted to be a general were the true talents. He smiled and said, "You also have a good idea. A legion should have at least five hundred thousand people. I have a total of eight hundred thousand people here. Including these private soldiers who lost, we only have two hundred thousand. Let's build a legion. Do you want others to see you as a joke? "

"Sir. . . "

"Alright, let's build two divisions first. Acre and you will each take one commander position. Essex will take over my guard position. However! You have to make up for the shortfall of my guard force. Last time, Acre said there were only five thousand guards. Now, there are many casualties! "

Unfortunately, Tianchen helplessly found that Hank, who had been following him all this time, was already a few meters away from him. He was telling his deputy in a low voice, "Quick, go and pick some veterans and officers. Acre still doesn't know. If he knew, wouldn't he have taken them all away?"

The deputy quickly nodded and left.

Tianchen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. When he had just come back, Acre relied on the order to choose the best soldiers to enter the army before he left to plunder the city guards who originally did not have many soldiers. The one who made Hank angry was his mother, and now she finally took the lead. It was no wonder that he had made such a hasty move.

However, Tianchen still encouraged his subordinates to have such a benign competition. Under the leadership of Hank and Acre, the combat strength of the Zhonghua City's troops increased day by day. Tianchen also secretly asked Bonn to bring back some potential forces to join the lead guards and the city guards.

Ignoring Hank, Tianchen turned his head and looked at the mage Carter who was gathering earth mages to help build the stronghold in Culin Town. Due to various reasons, the previous advanced mage had continuously announced his breakthrough in the past year. From an advanced mage to an archmage, then from an archmage to a magister. When would he expose himself and then announce that he had become Archmage? Archmage, who was not even forty years old, was really interesting!

What kind of secrets were hidden in his body? Tianchen did not want to investigate, but he was very interested. It should not take long, right? Obviously, there were two magisters in Magic Group who had the potential to break through to Archmage. At that time, Carter would be able to break through to Archmage. Was this guy going to announce that he had also broken through?

Then he looked at Neiger Jones, who was teaching the prisoners a lesson. This guy had the potential to become a police officer on Earth. He told people to be honest, to be lenient, to resist, to repent for their mistakes, and so on. He also publicized the policy of preferential treatment for honest prisoners in Zhonghua City. The education of prisoners was really a set of tricks, but the assassin camp that he led the team into made them not know whether to laugh or cry. How could they call themselves the assassins of the Lord Assassin Camp in broad daylight? They even said that they were specially set up to protect the Lord.

Tianchen felt like he was about to faint. Protect me? Protect me with the Lord's Guards. My strength is not to be underestimated. Furthermore, looking at the hundreds of people in the Assassin Camp, What kind of assassin would they look like? They are clearly a bunch of gangsters! However, Tianchen was still satisfied with the combat strength of the assassin camp. Although there were not many high-level and above occupations, there were also some special departments in the Internal Affairs Department. In the future, it would be good to be a special small team.

Tianchen really felt that he was lucky to have recruited the original five members of the Dragon Stealing Gang. Not only did these five people have their own specialties, but they also had very high abilities. Each of them had a leader in the military system, although each of them had their own secrets. However, Tianchen did not mind all of this. It was enough for them to pledge their loyalty to him. As for the others, they would naturally explain themselves when the time came.

When Acre received the order from Tianchen to form the second commander of the Zhonghua City's Guard Army, he shouted, "Not good!" He rushed towards the city guards and the captive camp. However, most of the officers with good qualities had been taken by Hank. Acre had to return to the guards and pick some from them to form the second legion.

When Essex, the vice captain of the guards, finally received the news, rushed back from other places, some of the smart senior knights of the guards had already left with Acre. They did not even have the chance to make Essex curse in front of him.

In the end, when it came to Tianchen, Tianchen also felt that after Acre snatched the people of the guards, only a few of them were left. This was really not a good thing. He made some arrangements for Sana's side and asked Hank and Acre to send some of them back.
