Chapter 1779: Chapter 540: Shadow Teeth Fortress_2

For the Alliance Army today, there is also a fatal threat.

What others don’t know is that the headquarters of the Alliance Army is located a hundred miles north of this fortress.

The three of them chatted as they walked, and others in the street also whispered among themselves.

Most of these were mercenaries recently recruited from the Southern Continent, full of expectations for the Old Continent known as "land of gold".

"Haha, the newly developed territory indeed offers many opportunities. I got a hundred gold coins as soon as I came. By the way, boss, what’s our mission? Is it to explore relics?"

"I heard we’re fighting the natives of the Eastern Wasteland. There’s a guerrilla group here; the Lord wants to establish a territory, so we have to wipe them out..."

"Eastern Wasteland natives? Are those the ones from that small country supposedly with only up to Sixth Tier strength?"

"Don’t underestimate those natives. This battle isn’t as easy as you guys think. I heard that now in the Eastern Wasteland, they all have Mechanical Legions, and various types of Magic Energy Mechanisms are quite formidable. Especially the ’Hunting God Armor’ that rivals the combat power of a Seventh-Order Card Master, which has previously wiped out several medium-sized Mercenary Corps of ours..."

"What’s there to fear! I’m more worried that those battle armors won’t show up. If they dare appear, the top-rank card masters from the Duke’s mansion have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

"That’s right. You haven’t been to the prisoner camp, those ’Mechanics’ are just a bunch of First and Second Tier guys, as soft as the women in the tavern. Without their Mechanical Battle Armor, we could scare those guys into wetting themselves with just our Dragon’s Might..."

"..."

"..."

The Eastern Wasteland had severed ties with the Old Continent since the destruction of the Gold-digging Dock.

Later, the Iris Legion of the Red Dragon Royal Family also imposed blockades.

So the majority of the people from the Southern Continent were quite behind on information.

They don’t even know that the power of Eastern Wasteland Orlan Royal Court is now strong enough to counterattack.

Leonard Churchill and his companions also collected their money along with the troop.

They were not in a rush to leave as understanding the military situation here would allow for better arrangements on the Alliance Army’s side in the future.

Most of the city was a military camp, with various flamboyant mercenary flags fluttering in the wind.

Not only was there Leonard Churchill’s batch as "fresh recruits," but also many veterans in the city.

Hours later, Leonard Churchill had figured out the basic situation of the Shadow Teeth Fortress.

...

In a shanty, Leonard Churchill and his two companions sat on the ground, eating dry food and chatting leisurely.

"Looking at it now, even if the Alliance Army is confident, they dare not take down Duke Simon and his people..."

"Yeah, once taken down, definitely more powerful enemies will come. Maybe it will even provoke the Ninth Rank Green Dragon from behind Duke Simon’s mansion... The current Hunting God Armor can’t withstand the Dragon’s Breath of an Eighth Rank Great Dragon."

"It’s problematic to keep dragging this on. There’s a mine vein rich with Demonic Absorption Green Copper and Magic Fallen Black Iron nearby, the Alliance Army won’t let that go. If they continue expanding northward, a fierce clash is inevitable sooner or later."

"It really is troublesome..."

"..."

The three had roughly understood what happened.

The Old Continent is vast, formerly not many nobles from the Southern Continent came, and the development was slow, the Alliance Army could avoid them and grow quietly.

But now that’s changed, numerous nobles have flooded in to develop the land, reducing the living space for the Alliance Army.

Some scarce resource areas must be held onto, conflict is inevitable.

Like the rich mine north of the fortress, producing Demonic Absorption Green Copper and Magic Fallen Black Iron necessary for crafting top-tier Mechanical Battle Armor.

To have a chance in the future, they can’t afford to give it up.

Thus leading to the current dilemma of being stuck in a difficult situation.

Even if the Alliance Army could really take down this fortress, it wouldn’t solve any problems except exposing their strength.

Catherine Carter’s tactics aren’t wrong; it’s to give the enemy the illusion of "I can exterminate these natives," just dragging on.

But the strategists at Duke Simon’s mansion have also subtly spotted the problem.

Since resistance has been met, it must involve factors worth resisting. Hence, in the task of recruiting mercenaries, a "significant exploration reward" is particularly marked.

It’s probably guessed by the higher-ups at Duke Simon’s mansion that there might be treasures nearby.

Leonard Churchill and his companions also chatted, analyzing the situation.

Not to mention a Ninth Rank, even a Pureblood Giant Dragon of Eighth Rank showing up would be a huge problem.

Although their strength is considerable, if a snake is hit but not killed, problems will continue non-stop.

They haven’t thought of a better solution yet.

As they were talking, suddenly, the bearded temporary Legion Commander shouted, "Two-tailed Scorpion 19th Legion, prepare to break camp and depart!"

Now the Duke’s mansion explicitly prices them, the "Eastern Wasteland Natives" are walking Contribution Points, killing one is money.

Mercenaries are here to earn money, resting an extra day makes no difference.

After all, the enemy is not that strong.

Hearing the command, these guys excitedly grabbed their weapons and prepared to depart.

Leonard Churchill and his companions originally planned to leave after eating, but with the troop now moving out, they simply decided to follow.

...

The Shadow Teeth Fortress just occupied by Duke Simon’s people hasn’t been a month, and the development is in full swing.

The exploration in the southeast direction is almost complete; vast unknown areas exist in several other directions.

Moreover, the Cavern World is not flat, but complex like an anthill.

There are many mountainous mines near the fortress, tens of thousands of people entering them barely make a splash, so the expansion progress is not fast.</p
