The Soscona Salt Flats are located in the southeastern part of the United Kingdom of Crulod. To the south is the famous Hurricane Wasteland. Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Beamon and the barbarians relied on this land full of drifting sands and poisonous gas caves.
and the barren land with poisonous springs, finally blocked the pursuit of Erathia's powerful human legions, leaving a glimmer of hope for the remaining Behemoth Empire who had fled here.
After that, Beamon established a country in Crulod, and Soskona became a reliable barrier and forward position for the kingdom to resist the powerful human enemies in the south. After more than a hundred years of unremitting efforts and arduous construction, a huge stronghold fortress
Finally it stood in the center of the salt-alkali land, and it was also the throat of the only passable road for the brigade's march. In order to commemorate the 30,000 Wolf Cavalry warriors who died heroically in the Battle of Soscona, this is the largest in the southern territory of Krulod.
The fortress was named "Wolfsburg" (Wolfsburg).
However, as the years continue to pass, the human kingdom's military pressure on Krulod is no longer as strong as it was in the past. Especially in the past hundred years, Erathia has not only been unable to launch an effective military attack on Beamon, but also counterattacked.
The small army that came over from Crow Lord often took the initiative to attack, crossing the hurricane wasteland to launch small and medium-scale harassment and plundering in the southwestern counties of humanity, and the results were mostly impressive. Over time, an increasingly optimistic combat mood began to emerge.
The situation spread within the Krulod military. Even in the past ten years, many middle and high-level officials in Beamon have put forward a theory called "quick victory", which has become increasingly popular.
The core idea of the so-called quick victory theory is that at the current stage, the military strength of the Behemoth Kingdom has greatly surpassed that of the aging human kingdom. As long as you make up your mind to take the war out of Wolfsburg, it will only take roughly three years.
It takes only a few months to defeat the resistance of the three southwest counties of Erathia; it does not take half a year to occupy at least half of the human land; and ultimately, within a year, the human aristocratic military group headed by the Griffin family can be completely wiped out.
, captured the entire territory of Erathia, and completely regained the supreme throne of the continent that originally belonged to Beamon.
And such a trend of thought with obvious offensive tendencies also has great market appeal among a large number of young Beamon officers. Some arrogant people have even shortened the time limit of quick victory theory again, directly claiming that ten months or even
The "territorial dispute" issue that has been delayed for thousands of years can be resolved within thirty days. It is really...
"They are all idiots! Hopeless idiots! It would not be a pity even if they were all thrown into the Sea of Storms to feed the fish." Ekaterina half leaned on the back of "Cerberus", her legs curled up,
He kept playing with the thick and thick hair of his mount with both hands, and said to himself disdainfully.
"Yes, Master, you are absolutely right." The half-orc Zer heard the female werewolf's voice and responded hurriedly.
"Humph, what do you know!" Ekaterina glanced at her followers and snorted coldly.
"Ouch!"
And as if he felt the displeasure of the female werewolf on his back, the huge demon pet suddenly roared. The low roar seemed to be filled with thunder, and even the ten pairs of wolf cavalry accompanying the surrounding wargs heard this.
After the low roar, he couldn't help but show a slightly uneasy expression.
"Don't make any noise." When she heard the voice of the demon pet, Yekaterina directly stretched out her foot and kicked Cerberus on the back of his thick head, and the roar was immediately suppressed.
"The mistress is really amazing!" Seeing the female werewolf casually subduing Cerberus, Zheer couldn't help but secretly admired her in her heart.
You know, this Cerberus is a terrifying alien beast that has been sealed by the temple for who knows how many years!
According to the records of the temple's ancient documents, four hundred and eighty years ago, in order to capture this three-headed hell dog that inexplicably crossed the space barrier and suddenly broke into the hinterland of Krolod to commit evil, two glorious shamans were sacrificed.
A great shaman with a scepter, thirteen barbarian berserkers, and more than a hundred people, including a squadron and a half of big-eared warriors, were able to seal this terrifying mutated demon with strength comparable to a giant dragon in a remote place.
In the temple's sanctuary, the price can be said to be astonishing. Since then, every thirty years, the temple will arrange for the most promising young shamans of a generation to go to this remote temple to try to summon the three heads of hell.
Dogs were adopted as magical pets. But unfortunately, despite many attempts over the centuries, none of them succeeded.
But what is extremely surprising is that just half a year ago, Yekaterina successfully awakened this demon that had been sleeping for a long time. After a series of tests and negotiations unknown to outsiders, the three-headed hell dog miraculously
He responded to the female werewolf's call as if he were a demon, and officially became her only familiar, named Cerberus.
Although, after a long period of slumber, Cerberus's strength level has greatly regressed, and is far from being comparable to his peak state. At the same time, the left and right heads of the original three hellhounds have also shrunk into small
But it would be wrong to underestimate the terrifying combat power of this awakened demon. At least, Zheer had seen Cerberus bite three human mid-level warriors easily and casually.
Then he arrogantly picked out only the heart of the prey and made a small tooth sacrifice.
In addition, this three-headed hell dog has an extremely violent personality and hardly recognizes any relatives except Yekaterina. Therefore, Zer has had a lot of fear of it since he first saw it. He even became a female werewolf when riding it.
When on a familiar, half-orcs usually don't dare to get close easily.
"Speed up and get to Wolfsburg before noon." She then glanced at the orc who was following her step by step a few meters away. Ekaterina really couldn't bring herself to discuss the issue with her, so she urged.
road.
"Yes, Master."
Zheer's mount is a very strong war goat, with a pair of huge upright horns that are quite similar to the orc's sheep-headed hat. Although the short-distance sprint ability of the war goat is far inferior to that of the warg, its endurance is very high.
Very good, and quite suitable for traveling in the mountains. After hearing the female werewolf's order, the orcs immediately shouted and accelerated, and the other twenty wolf riders also quickly followed.
At about a moment before noon, after several hours of fast marching, the majestic figure of Wolfsburg finally appeared in front of Ekaterina and her party.
Unlike human castles such as Windsor Castle or Ford Fortress, Wolfsburg is not an all-stone structure, but half wood and half stone. Moreover, the stone materials used by Beamon when building Wolfsburg were not standardized.
The square rocks are piled up with many loose stone materials of different sizes and shapes. This is mainly because Crulotti is located in the northwest wilderness and does not have the financial and resources as strong as the human kingdom.
Build a stone castle.
However, if someone underestimates the defensive capabilities of Beamon Fortress because of this, it would be a big mistake.
Through the connection of specially formulated adhesives, Beamon's craftsmen were able to piece together the scattered stones into a piece that was stronger than the entire giant rock; and the wooden branches that had been fully soaked in the salt-alkali ponds of Soscona for three years were not only
It will become as hard and heavy as pig iron, and at the same time, it also has strong flame retardant properties, directly becoming the best material for building military fortifications. Therefore, relying on only less than a quarter of the construction cost of Ford Fortress, Crullo
Deben successfully built the huge and strong Wolf Castle.
After completion, the outer wall of Wolfsburg is about ten meters high, square in shape, and about two kilometers in radius. Two huge arrow towers are erected on both sides of the city gate. Each huge tower can accommodate at least twenty and a half people.
Orcs, and threw throwing axes out from the semi-open tower window. Relying on a large open-air salt pond nearby, the periphery of Wolfsburg was led into a two-meter-wide white salted river. One after another
The wooden stakes with sharpened heads were fixed to the bottom of the Salt River like daggers. If someone unfortunately fell in, even if they were not stabbed to death by the wooden stakes, they would probably be burned half to death by the highly concentrated alkaline river water.
.
In the first few years after Wolf Castle was built, the Kingdom of Erathia, which was still powerful at the time, sent troops several times with the intention of removing this big nail that was blocking the passage to Crulod. However, after the actual battle,
They tried, no matter whether it was a frontal attack, setting fires and smoke, or even using catapults and battering rams, but they were unable to break through the strong walls of Wolfsburg. In the end, they had to retreat sadly and never did anything similar again.
attempt.
When Yekaterina's team finally arrived at the gate of Wolf Castle, the huge hellhound demon immediately aroused strong tension among the barbarian warriors guarding the gate. Even summoned by an unbearable exclamation, a large number of
Orc grenadiers appeared in the two arrow towers one after another, and sharp throwing axes were already aimed at the terrifying familiar in front of the castle.
"Don't make any noise!" After patting Cerberus, who felt the hostility coming from the top of his head and began to become increasingly irritable, the female werewolf slowly stood up on the back of her demon pet and at the same time raised the golden wolf-head scepter in her hand.
"Ah, it's Miss Ekaterina!" Seeing the scepter reflecting the dazzling light in the sun, the hurried city gate officer immediately recognized the identity of the visitor and immediately shouted back the people who were still on full alert.
The barbarian soldiers and the grenadiers in the arrow tower then quickly came to the female werewolf and bowed deeply: "Welcome back, Lady Ekaterina."
"Well, it's Fei Gou." Ekaterina sat back on Cerberus, glanced at the officer, and nodded lightly: "Is your father at the Wolf's Lair?"
