Reincarnation Paradise Chapter 807: block the way

Chapter 807: block the way

The pursuing army methodically marched towards the Black Earth Fortress, and along the way back, Su Xiao from time to time saw small groups of Imperial troops patrolling the vicinity of the Black Earth Fortress, and once they discovered the Empire, they immediately fired firecracker-like flares into the sky.

From time to time, there were flares rising in the night sky, and more than 100,000 imperial troops split into several units to clear the tribal army in the nearby area.

Of course, there was a time limit for this clearing, and the clearing would end when night fell completely, and the army would gather at the Black Earth Fortress and hold it down.

Unsurprisingly, the Horde Army would not abandon the Black Earth Battle Zone, this was after all one of the three major battle zones, besides, it was not the first time the Horde Army had been repulsed.

The Tribal Army was beaten up in this battle, both because the Tribal Army wasn’t united enough and because Carlos was personally present at the frontline, allowing the Imperial soldiers to reach an unrelenting level of aura.

When Su Xiao followed the army back to the Black Earth Fortress, there were several large piles of corpses piled up outside the Black Earth Fortress, and these corpses were burned by the fire, with black smoke rising into the air.

“Rise, be careful, the lasso over there is slow.”

“Whoever has seen Malsa, have him appear before me in five minutes.”

“Report, all of our fallen soldiers have been carried inside the Black Earth Fortress. “

Soldiers were busy on the battlefield, and Legionnaire Carlos stood among several officers, those officers reporting something from time to time.

Su Xiao’s tribe dispersed after arriving near the Black Earth Fortress, and all the soldiers were free to move around.

The recruits climbed up to the fortress through rope ladders, they were going to the clerk inside the Black Earth Fortress, wanting to write a letter home to tell their families that they were still alive.

As for the veterans, they were scavenging their belongings on the battlefield, and they were more willing to send something of value to their wives and children at home than a letter.

Su Xiao walked towards the Black Earth Fortress, he was going to find the Quartermaster Nicholas Caesar, not surprisingly, the Battle Merit Store would open in no time, at that time, the heads of all the major adventure groups would also head there, after this battle, Su Xiao was definitely not the only one with enough merit to redeem the [Sacred Oak Tree Trunk].

Fortunately, Su Xiao had a previous encounter with Nicholas Caesar and was able to go through the door.

Su Xiao climbed up the rope ladder to the Black Earth Fortress, the stone slope on the outside of the fortress had already been removed, and that thing had no other purpose other than to facilitate the tribal army’s attack on the fortress.

Above the walls of the fortress, the ground was wet, and some shallow red puddles reminded the crowd of what had happened here before.

Su Xiao smelled the faint odor of blood, although the corpses on the walls had already been disposed of, and the ground had been cleaned, but the smell of blood persisted.

After inquiring with the soldiers coming and going, Su Xiao knew the location of Nicholas Caesar, and that guy had already moved back to the Black Earth Fortress with all his family assets.

The entire fortress stone wall more than dozens of meters wide, the fortress walls on the inner side of the hollow side, which is used to hoard supplies and soldiers live, as for the outer side, the whole body obsidian to build, this side is often attacked by the tribal side, not sturdy can’t.

Su Xiao entered the inner wall of the fortress, here is somewhat similar to a large war fortress, a total of 16 floors, each floor has a corridor, horizontally through the whole floor, easy to walk.

The 16th floor to the 6th floor is used for soldiers to live, is partitioned into a room of thousands of square meters of large bunks, the 5th floor to the 4th floor is where the officers live, this is partitioned into a small cubicle, the higher the position, the better the living conditions, the 3rd floor to the 1st floor is used to store supplies.

Su Xiao walked into the interior of the fortress, a strong smell of gunpowder came to his nose, a large area of black rubble scattered in the corridor, this is the masterpiece of the tribal side, they wanted to blow up the black earth fortress before, of course, they had to start blowing up from the hollow side.

The walls of the fortress corridor inserted a torch, the firelight swaying, inside the fortress is a little wet and cold.

According to what was inquired, Nicholas Caesar resided on the 4th floor, a place where only high ranking officers could reside.

Su Xiao just walked to the entrance of the 4th floor and found several soldiers blocking the entrance.

“Please ask this lord to show his officer’s certificate.”

These soldiers stood straight and looked serious.

“I’m Junior Captain White Night, no proof for now, an officer added during the war. “

Su Xiao had nothing to prove his identity, however, he didn’t need identification at all, the war had just ended, there were a lot of newly added officers, these officers didn’t have an officer’s certificate, as for impersonating an officer, ordinary people wouldn’t do that, it was a capital offense.

A few soldiers looked at each other, they were a bit hesitant.

“This lord, I’m sorry, without an officer’s certificate, you can’t enter here for the time being.”

A soldier stepped forward and said in a low voice, “My lord, there’s nothing I can do, don’t make it difficult for the little man …”

There was already a pleading tone in that soldier’s words.

“This method is good.”

Su Xiao roughly guessed what was going on, needless to say, these soldiers were planted here by ‘someone with a heart’, now that the war in the Black Earth Fortress had just ended, the officers were busy and had no time to come back here, there was only one kind of person who would come here at this time, that is, the contracted people who wanted to exchange items with their battle credits.

Su Xiao only opened the war merit store after he got the officer position, so did those adventure group leaders, the squad leader can recruit 200 subordinates, this is actually for the equipment of the adventure group, the adventure group leader will recruit his subordinate group members as subordinate soldiers, that way he can help his subordinate group members to open the war merit store, and only when he opens the war merit store will the war merit be displayed.

The few soldiers blocking Su Xiao now were probably recruited by those group leaders as a way to block other contractors from seeing Nicholas Caesar.

Even if they couldn’t block everyone, it would be good to block some of them, as military discipline was strict during wartime, most indentured servants wouldn’t dare to make trouble.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao pushed aside the soldier in front of him and walked straight forward.

“Wait.”

These soldiers did not shout words like ‘stand still’ or ‘shoot on sight if you dare to approach’, but subconsciously shouted ‘wait’, which made Su Xiao more certain that these soldiers were paper tigers.

Su Xiao’s footsteps lurched and looked sideways at the soldiers, it was them who should be weak-hearted now.

“This lord villain …”

A slightly older soldier walked forward.

“Any more nonsense and I’ll kill you.”

In the face of this deliberate obstruction, of course Su Xiao would not be polite.

“…”

A few soldiers retreated a few steps back, they had a feeling that if they blocked Su Xiao any more, they would really die, if they died now, it would be in vain, and they would also be burdened with a crime after death.

Su Xiao walked into the corridor on the 4th floor of the fortress, from afar he saw a dozen people standing within the corridor, seemingly waiting for something.

After seeing these people, Su Xiao recognized that these people were indentured servants, as there were ‘acquaintances’ among them, the pair of siblings that he had met outside the Quartermaster’s tent earlier, and Su Xiao had sold the ‘Bullhead Lord Armor’ to the younger brother among them.

The dozen or so indentured servants all looked towards Su Xiao, these dozen or so people were split into four groups, which basically represented that there were still four adventuring groups left in the Black Earth Warzone.
