With a ding-dong sound.

The camp changed from blue and white to red and white, and this area was officially completely occupied by red and white forces.

Inside the various functional tents in the camp, ordinary humans wearing red and white colors began to appear.

They cannot leave their respective camps and go outside the scope of the camp to the inherent personnel of their respective camps.

Soldiers began to come out of various soldier recruitment camps.

A general who could command 500 people appeared in the big camp. He also belonged to Horn's subordinates.

And the soldiers who kept coming out of the recruiting camp were also Horn's soldiers.

Horn is similar to the most senior general of the entire red and white forces. Every time a camp or area is occupied, the army will be automatically filled according to the size of the camp and area. These troops are provided to Horn free of charge, along with a supporting general.

These generals and soldiers are all new recruits. Regardless of their strength or the number of soldiers they can lead, they are all basic. They need to continue to participate in battles to upgrade and lead more soldiers.

By the time the soldiers began to have their meals at night, more than 3,000 soldiers had been recruited after occupying the camp.

These numbers are almost the limit of the number of soldiers provided after the camp was occupied.

Kane communicates constantly with Claire through a ruby ​​collar collar.

After they occupied the camp, they also gained more than 3,000 troops. Although these troops were all new recruits, they were only of medium-to-upper bronze level.

In this case, the number of soldiers under Horn's command reached more than 10,000.

However, these soldiers cannot be led to the battlefield all at once, just like the enemy, nor can soldiers from the entire map be gathered together to attack Kane and the others at once.

Horn is the supreme commander of the red and white forces. The number of troops he leads depends entirely on the size of the territory he occupies. His current maximum troop strength should be around 6,000.

The two extra subordinates plus the original subordinates can lead a total of 1,500 troops.

In this way, the remaining soldiers need to stay in the camp.

Otherwise, if the enemy sends a few powerful assassin squads to directly attack the camp at the rear, wouldn't it be enough to kill all the soldiers in this area and occupy it?

Therefore, even if you lead the troops to leave the camp, there must be soldiers staying behind.

After talking to Claire, we also agreed on a gathering time tomorrow.

It's not that Kane and the others don't want to capture the fortress now.

They can, but not their soldiers. After a day of fighting and a forced march, those soldiers need a good night's rest, otherwise their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

…

Early the next morning, all the soldiers gathered outside the camp.

In addition to Kane and his 600 soldiers, the 1,000 people selected by Horn's men were all types of close combat and long-range infantry.

After all, today's theme is siege, and the knights' role is minimal, so they are all left inside the camp.

After selecting them, they quickly rushed towards the fortress with the 1,600 soldiers.

The remaining soldiers were assigned tasks and began patrolling around the camp.

The general's lack of troops does not mean that these soldiers will defect, but that they cannot lead these soldiers to fight.

But it can carry out defense, order patrols, etc. without any problem.

This can be regarded as a certain mechanism of this world.

"Kane, we have arrived at the meeting point, how long do you have?"

Claire's voice came from the ruby ​​collar clip.

After hearing Claire's words, Kane immediately replied: "There is still about 2 kilometers to go."

Although the two camps are separated on both sides of the fortress, Claire's camp is closer to the fortress.

After a little speed, Kane saw Claire and the others from a distance.

Compared to Kane, who only led more than 1,000 soldiers behind him, Claire and the others had more than 6,000 soldiers behind them.

More than 6,000 soldiers belong to various professions and are arranged neatly, which is a pleasure to watch.

After the teams brought to both sides merged, the two generals came directly to Horn's side.

The gathering place at this time is the road leading to the fortress.

You can still see outpost towers erected every few hundred meters around, but there is not a single soldier on these outpost towers.

You can see from the traces that someone stayed here not long ago.

"It seems that the news of the occupation of the two camps has reached the ears of the fortress generals." Horn said after looking around and seeing no trace of enemy soldiers.

"All these soldiers who were used for security and patrol have been recalled."

After saying a few simple words, Horn drew out the long sword from his waist and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Forward!"

The entire team maintained an orderly formation and began to move forward slowly, with Kane and the others at the front of the team.

Horn looked at Kane and others beside him and couldn't help but ask: "Are you really sure of capturing the fortress? You must know that we don't have any engineering equipment now."

He was still a little uneasy. After all, if he attacked the fortress without any engineering equipment, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.

Hearing Horn's worries, Kane smiled and consoled him: "Don't worry, Captain Horn, of course we say this with confidence, and we will not play with the lives of soldiers."

After hearing Kane's words, Horn nodded.

Looking at the road, there are all traces of the evacuation of various patrol soldiers and outpost security soldiers.

"The generals of the fortress already know that we are coming, and they must know that we are resurrected.

He should have sent soldiers to various places to ask for help by now. We must capture the fortress as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to wait to die when their support comes in."

After hearing what Horn said, Kane nodded in agreement.

The dungeon information that Kane and the others obtained was provided by Claire's mother. It was basically a very detailed report on the dungeon.

It is clearly written above that no matter how the explorers act in the future, the first priority in the early stage must be to capture this fortress in the shortest possible time, otherwise they will definitely fail.

It is necessary to capture the entire fortress before the enemy army reacts and before the support personnel arrive, and then rely on the fortress to carry out defensive operations and encroach outwards.

If the fortress cannot be taken down, then even if Kane and the others take down the surrounding camps, they will be like turtles in a urn, being slowly eaten away by the people who keep coming to support them.

Even if Kane and the others can defeat a thousand with one, it doesn't make any sense. The enemy will gather all the silver-level soldiers together to kill them.

There is no problem at all in pulling out tens of thousands of silver soldiers from the entire force.

Of course, these soldiers belong to camps in various places. It is impossible to gather them together casually. So what are they doing? They can just surrender.

There is no specific description of how to proceed later in the data, but only the paragraphs about taking down the fortress are clearly marked in the data, showing its importance.

After all, if you can't get it, you will fail the level.

From a distance, Kane and the others could already see the fortress.

The moment he saw the fortress, Kane finally understood why he wanted to capture the fortress so quickly?

The height of this fortress is estimated to be close to 20 meters, with towering cliffs standing on both sides like giant door frames.

And this majestic fortress plays the role of a door.

All kinds of defense equipment have been set up on the fortress, and there are densely packed soldiers standing on it. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time.

After moving forward for some distance again.

Horn raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately stopped.

This location is just outside the range that the enemy can attack.

Horn said loudly to the fortress: "Mars, open the city gate to welcome death. Stop struggling in vain. You will not be able to defend this fortress under our attack."

A voice came from far away from the fortress.

"Horn didn't expect that you were still alive or dead, and he actually allowed you to counterattack successfully. Qi Qi, that idiot, couldn't even take down the last few hundred defeated soldiers you had left."

"But if you want to take over Menmen Fortress with your current strength, you look down on this fortress. In such a short time, it is impossible for you to build many engineering equipment, and the soldiers coming from behind me to support will arrive soon, or soon.

Go back to the camp and enjoy your last moments."

The enemy generals continued to mock Horn.

"Captain Horn, it seems he has no intention of surrendering at all." Kane said with a smile.

Hearing Kane's words, Horn laughed and said: "Hahaha, of course he can't really surrender, but he always has to curse a few words before every fight, otherwise he feels like something is missing."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Kane and said solemnly and seriously: "It's up to you now. I hope you didn't deceive us."

"Do not worry."

After Kane finished speaking, magic power surged out of his hands, and he built a thick and long barrel around him, pointing at the fortress far ahead.

Spend mana.

A cannonball quickly hit the fortress wall.

"boom!"

A loud noise exploded on the city wall. The enemy general who was still cursing was startled by the loud noise, and his voice was interrupted instantly.

Then he quickly looked towards the place where the explosion sounded, and saw that an area on the city wall was blown black, and some stones fell off slightly.
