Orc Tyrant

The staff’s complaints against Yusuf have never stopped. Although the old man led everyone through the first Ouke invasion, he became a bit "radical" after that, or he hated Ouke too much. Many people have speculated that it may be related to the death of his eldest son.

But no matter what the previous words and deeds, the staff can understand Yusuf’s thoughts. After all, he paid a lot to ensure the safety of the fortress, but this time he recklessly dispatched an entire cavalry division to several Ouke camps. Although the results were good, the price paid was close to two thousand cavalry buried in the wasteland.

This is unacceptable to many staff and military officers. Although Oak's camp is gradually approaching, many of them believe that these irritable green creatures should not be over-stimulated, especially if such an offense is premised at a great price.

But Yusuf still stubbornly issued such an order. For this reason, he had quarreled with his chief of staff countless times. Many officers had doubts about their chiefs, thinking that he was using the blood of soldiers to satisfy their own needs. The desire for hatred, only a few people understand what he really thinks.

"It will come sooner or later."

With his elbows on the edge of the outer wall, Yusuf's old face was even more twilight in the sunset, but his eyes were bright as stars, looking into the depths of the vast Gobi, as if something was calling his name.

"The last time it was not a failure for them, it was just a small setback."

He has a long tone, as if discussing an insignificant matter, while an old man in a bright black wizard robe standing beside him sighed softly. Under his simple pointed hat, his forehead was full of wrinkles. Wearing a gray strip of cloth, showing a certain weird characteristic.

"It won't be long before it will come, full of anger..."

The old wizard stood still and looked at the wasteland with Yusuf, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

"...The Ocean of Uncertainty is becoming more and more turbulent. In the crevices of the raging waves, I can hardly catch a glimmer of light. The future is so dark and terrifying. It is just one of many calamities."

"But it is indeed the most dangerous one. Otherwise, Master Bellas, you would not come to this place full of sand and rough men from the hidden eucalyptus forest yourself."

Amused by Yusuf's words, the old wizard smiled.

"Haha, I admit that although most people are afraid of us, they are also warriors who defend the hope of mankind."

"Yes, they are all warriors, and only warriors can face those monsters."

Yusuf straightened up and glanced at the fortress that made him extremely proud.

After the last war, Yusuf summed up a very important point regarding the way the Oukes fought-to avoid close combat.

For this reason, he asked engineers to design a line of defense that could meet such requirements. After more than a month of hard work, the military engineers gave him a plan that satisfies him.

According to the design of the engineers, the entire fortress was discarded from the previous design, and all fortifications aimed at humans would be demolished. The fortress would be divided into three lines of defense, the first consisting of a concrete fortress, an outpost, a trench and a bunker; The second is to build a thick steel-concrete high wall on the basis of the original fortress, similar to the ancient city wall of Cuscona, but stronger and more gun positions; the third line of defense is strictly not a line of defense, but a retreat The route consists of railways and armored trains. Once the fortress is lost, the army will retreat from the railways, and some people will stay behind to block Ouke with the armored trains.

These are only the ground part, and the underground part is a transportation trench extending in all directions. There are transportation rails inside, which can quickly transport soldiers and materials to every part of the defense line.

Along with this, there are more artillery and machine guns, especially the new rear-mounted fortress guns. Mines are also an important part of the defense line. Even engineers have designed a small port to house some gunboats. After all, the navy’s support general It's so untimely.

But all of this needs to be transformed by something-money.

After the Ouke invasion, the perfunctory and mediocre performance of the officials who came to inspect by the empire has made Yusuf feel uncomfortable to this day.

Not to mention the cost of fortress reconstruction, it is the soldiers' pensions. Whenever this matter is mentioned, the potbellied bureaucrats are just a moment of care. It seems that in their eyes, giving the dead soldiers a little money is a waste of luxury.

Even at some point, he really wanted to throw those **** fat pigs on the wasteland, so that the Oukes could taste the fat on them, and maybe even a few green skins.

But at most he can only think about it. In the end, he had to rely on special "relationships" to extract less than half of the pension from the military department. He spent the remaining half of his wealth and sold the trophies left by Ouke. The black market barely made up.

Although the soldiers’ family members were very grateful to him, he still did not dare to face those people, mothers who lost children, wives who lost husbands, and children who lost their fathers. Their eyes made Yusuf always unavoidable all night. He knew that. A small amount of money can't do much, or even improve their lives, but he can't do anything.

As for the funds for restoring the new line of defense, the Ministry of Military Affairs only gave one-third. The meaning is obvious. There is only so much, and he has to figure out what is left.

For this reason, he rushed for four months, lobbying and speaking in various provinces in the east, telling everyone of Oak’s threat and the bravery of soldiers, and finally made up the remaining costs, probably because he had already been on the secret guard. He is blacklisted, and maybe one day he will die in his room due to "illness".

But he doesn't care!

He opened his arms and raised his eyes. The long steel line of defense was even more magnificent in the sunset. This is one of the strongest lines of defense for mankind so far. The towering retaining wall is 15 meters long, and gun holes and walls are densely covered. The sealed fort guards the commanding heights, and there are teams of soldiers patrolling on the wall passage that is enough for ten people.

Below the high walls, there are fortresses distributed according to the optimal distance. They are barrel-shaped, with holes in the thick walls, and a small field gun on the top. Each fortress is stationed with a company, and they will be in When the invasion took place, they took the first impact and used the doomed destruction to create more trouble for Oak. The food and ammunition stored in it allowed them to hold on for a while.

A few bunkers are built between the fortresses. They are very hidden and there are fewer in number. There are only ten soldiers in them. They are responsible for manipulating a machine gun. These will be one of the main forces to kill Ok.

In the area nearly one mile in front of the retaining wall, a hundred such fortresses and bunkers were built. Between them are deep and wide trenches, but there are no soldiers guarding them, only sharp sinking waiting for Ou Grams.

There is also a minefield between the first line of defense and the second line of defense. A large number of explosives are buried in the gravel. Compared with the previous mines, they are more powerful and lethal, and it is easier to go to the green belt. death.

Yusuf also changed a part of the design, he added some of his own ideas, and those things were really silent at this moment waiting for the announcement.

At the moment when the fortress was completed, many people thought that this place was already solid, but Yusuf never had this idea. He always wanted to do more damage to Oak. If you want to really repel Oak, just Relying on this line of defense is not enough anyway.

He, Youssef bin Zai, the highest commander of the Axum Army, deeply understands that under the full blow of the pale tyrant, their chance of surviving is less than one in ten.

More methods are needed, but that method is not here.
