Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 413
Heaven Dou Empire, Balak Principality, border.

Medland is a scout on the border of the Principality of Barak. His daily task is to stand on the closed gate of the city wall and investigate the situation on the border with the Star Luo Empire not far away.

Medland used to be quite happy with her job.

Because ever since he joined the army, the two empires have been in a period of peace, just like the border town of the Principality of Barak where he is located-Shounan Town, although it is an important defensive place next to the border of the two empires, due to long absence Due to the war, the armament has long been slack.

The so-called investigation tasks left to him every day are basically standing in a daze, or playing cards with a few colleagues who are standing guard with him.

There is no way, it is too boring, I just stare at the unchanging scenery in a daze every day, and I personally hope to have some fun to pass the boring time.

And the garrison chief is well aware of their situation, as long as they don't leave their posts, they will turn a blind eye.

As a scout in the Principality, Medland knows many things in the Principality, and he knows which places are more valued by King Kundera.

Of course, Medland was just an ordinary soldier, and he didn't know much about those complicated political situations.

The reason why he knows which places are more valued is not complicated. It is to inquire about the monthly salary of officers and officers in various places.

Medland's brothers who came out of the same training camp at the beginning also dispersed all over the principality. He learned from the occasional correspondence that the army with the highest monthly salary in the principality is the prince's army headed by King Kundera. It is to guard the city of Barak, with the best armaments and the strongest horses.

The second highest monthly salary is the Cold Blood Army of the Duke of Cold Blood. It is said that this army is actually the private army of the Cold Blood Marquis, because the main officers are members of the Cold Blood Marquis family. The ice ballast is the most powerful army in the principality.

The third highest monthly salary is the garrison in the north of the principality, mainly responsible for traffic safety and banditry in the north of the principality.

Those with the lowest monthly salary were the border guards.

Although Medland himself didn't know why his army guarding the border of the empire was the least valued, but he probably guessed that for King Kundra, perhaps the empire was more important to the principality than the neighboring Star Luo. It is also worthy of vigilance and attention.

However, it is probably because they are not taken seriously that they, the border guards, can live such a slack life.

Medline is still very satisfied with his life. Although the work is boring, it is safe and stable. The work these years has allowed him to have a certain amount of savings, and he has also found a pretty wife.

Although Medland was once tired of his life where he could not see the future of promotion, he soon figured it out again.

Isn't the hope of life just to keep your wife and children warm on the kang?

Although life is calm now, stability is the most important thing for a family, at least Medland thinks so.

Originally, Medland thought that this peaceful life would last for a long, long time, until he was old, but a week ago, things changed.

On the night of the wedding of the crown prince Xue Qinghe, the Star Luo Empire dispatched assassins to assassinate the crown prince and the fourth prince.

Even if they don't understand the political situation anymore, Medland and his colleagues around him know that war is inevitable, and Shounan Town, which is on the border with the Star Luo Empire, will naturally be an outpost of war.

The peaceful life is gone forever.

However, even on the eve of the approaching rainstorm, the supplies from the Empire and the Principality have not yet been delivered to this outpost.

In addition to observing the movements of the neighboring Star Luo Empire every day, Medland was worried about when the empire's support would arrive.

Due to not being valued by the principality and because it has not been subjected to war for a long time, the food and grass armed forces in Shounan Town are much inferior to what many people imagined.

If there is no material support, then Shounan Town may not be able to resist Xingluo's army for a long time.

As for why Shounan Town couldn't resist for a long time instead of being unable to go to the Xingluo Battlefield to gain military exploits...

Medland didn't know much, but he also understood the gap in military strength between the two empires. Although it wasn't a small gap, it was still a world of difference.

The strength of the Star Luo Army is engraved in the hearts of every Heaven Dou soldier.

Medland didn't think that the army of the Star Luo Empire would be unable to withstand the attack of the imperial army. Even if they didn't react immediately, they would quickly counterattack when they were ready.

But now, as a scout, Medland could notice every day that troops began to gather on the border of Star Luo, and fortresses and ditches were being built rapidly. Obviously, the Star Luo Empire was ready for the battle.

But what about yourself?

Apart from some of the grain, grass and weapons and armor allocated by the Principality, there was no other army mobilization, at least Medland did not see it.

As a soldier who has been in Shounan Town for so many years, Medland still knows how much he and his colleagues weigh.When there is a war, it will be very dangerous to guard the South Town.

Especially now based on the reaction from the neighbors, it is still uncertain whether it is my side to pack up and attack first or they are the first to attack.

After receiving the news that the prince had been assassinated early, Medlan immediately asked his wife to pack up the household belongings, took the child and the old mother and ran to Soto City.

Although Medline also had some suspicions that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, after all, the people around him didn't make such arrangements, but he still felt that it was a matter of family comfort, so he couldn't be too vigilant.

Soto City is the second largest city in the Principality and has the most powerful armed army besides Barak City. Moreover, it is also a major grain-producing city in the Principality of Barak. It has sufficient food and can last for a long time even if it encounters a siege.

"Boom boom boom..."

The heavy voice came from a distance, neat and uniform, with the sound of metal clapping that oppresses the heart.

Medland felt that the city wall under his feet trembled a little, and a very uneasy premonition quickly surged into his heart.

Immediately looking in the direction of Xingluo, Medland only saw smoke and dust everywhere for a moment, and took out the binoculars tied behind him, he closed his left eye, and looked through the binoculars with his right eye.

Black iron armor, daunting iron tiger mask, Xingluo infantry with spears and iron crossbows walked heavily, and behind them were huge engineering catapults and Xingluo heavy cavalry also wearing iron armor.

The smoke and dust caused by the march of the army made Medland's vision somewhat obstructed, but the appearance of the Star Luo army marching in the dust was more like a group of hungry beasts that had loosened their chains.

"Oops...they crossed the border..."

"Be careful! Xingluo is attacking!!!"
