Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2075: Chapter 214: You, You, You—Are You Wang Fugui?

…

For the Third Prince, as long as he himself isn’t embarrassed, then the embarrassment falls on others.

Fortunately, although Princess Su Yun had her doubts, she ultimately considered the goodwill of people who had traveled far to support her, and remained courteous: “What the Third Prince said is very true. Our Human race’s two major factions are now gradually moving towards a new stage of cooperation and mutual benefit, so we should really communicate well.”

“Brother Yinghao, the follow-up affairs of the Red Gorge battlefield will be handled by you.” Princess Su Yun said, turning to instruct Wu Yinghao behind her, “All the wounded must receive effective treatment, and consolation work must be well done for the soldiers who died.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Wu Yinghao saluted, and immediately took some people to handle the aftermath.

The Third Prince watched Wu Yinghao’s back, pondering, is this the future Princess Mansion Head? He does have a bit of exceptional bravery, but unfortunately, he still can’t compare to his Ruobing.

Princess Su Yun came specifically for rescue, and now that the crisis at Red Gorge Pass has been resolved, she naturally doesn’t need to stay here.

After briefly making arrangements and leaving enough troops to guard Red Gorge Pass, Princess Su Yun took the Third Prince Shen Tu Jingming and Princess Zhao Yu to the Eastern Front Command.

…

Meanwhile.

In the direction of the Red Stone Demon King’s Castle in the East Line Defense Zone, there was a Human race stronghold in a perilous location, named [Shattered Stone Fortress].

It was named as such firstly because of its rugged structure, mostly built from various locally quarried stones forming camps and walls. Secondly, due to its primary function of remotely blocking the Red Stone Demon King’s attack route, the name “Shattered Stone” also implied a target against the Red Stone Demon King’s Castle.

A defensive fortress wants to achieve a defensive effect, so the construction position is naturally chosen at a transportation thoroughfare, giving it a chokehold effect.

Apart from the path guarded by the Shattered Stone Fortress, the surrounding area is rugged terrain with towering mountains, okay for small elite groups, but if a large army tries to detour, not only will marching be very difficult, but the logistical supply line simply won’t keep up.

Most importantly, if the Demonic Clan army fails to capture the Shattered Stone Fortress, even if they successfully bypass it into the heartland of the East Line Defense Zone, they’re likely to be flanked and attacked from multiple sides. When that happens, getting surrounded like dumplings would only lead to predictable consequences.

Therefore, for the Red Stone Demon King’s Castle army to enter the heartland of the East Line Defense Zone, the first step is to break through the [Shattered Stone Fortress].

And the battalion stationed long-term at the Shattered Stone Fortress, controlling the surrounding defense areas, is the now [famous] Seventh Battle Group of the Eastern Front army.

The original Seventh Battle Group was not well-known, belonging to a second-rate group in the entire East Line Defense Zone, only slightly higher in status than the [Head Squad], and their battlefield performance and established Merit Points were naturally not high, making their priority in resource allocation below the three elite groups of the Eastern army corps, often waiting for others to pick leftovers before it was their turn.

However, with the arrival of Wang Ying Xuan, the Seventh Battle Group suddenly [gained fame], with various strange incidents occurring frequently, secretly laughed at by other brother groups, who said they were entirely overshadowed by a rich lady.

The entire group of big men within the battalion ended up being subdued by a young woman.

But there are those who envy the Seventh Battle Group, after all, Wang Ying Xuan learned well in the aspect of requesting resources, adopting Zhao Tingjian’s spirit of crying, causing trouble, and threatening suicide, always forcing the logistics department to prioritize resource replenishment for the Seventh Battle Group, making their treatment almost on par with the top three elite groups.

Past stories aside for now.

This time, the Shattered Stone Fortress stationed by the Seventh Battle Group encountered a big problem.

The Red Stone Demon King launched an attack on the Shattered Stone Fortress, with three Demonic Clan lord troops as the vanguard alone.

The troops under the Demonic Clan lords are naturally both strong and weak as they train them personally, and these three vanguard lords are old foes of the Shattered Stone Fortress, having been in constant minor clashes over the years and built up quite a few grudges.

At this moment.

In the Shattered Stone Fortress battalion’s meeting room, leaders from the various camps under the Seventh Battle Group gathered, listening to the summarized intelligence, their expressions very serious.

The Fluorescent Stone Spirit Lamp in the meeting room hadn’t changed Spirit Stone for who knows how long, its light somewhat dim, overlaying everyone’s face with a shadow, making the atmosphere particularly solemn and oppressive.

“Blood Eagle Lord, Mad Bear Lord, and Strong Lord are respectively leading their armies from their territories, advancing in three directions to converge and surround the [Shattered Stone Fortress]” the Scout Commander reported, “We estimate they intend to seize our fortress while our East Line Defense Zone’s various stations are engulfed in war quagmire and unable to support, opening the way for larger forces later.”

Any one of the three Demonic Clan lord troops is difficult enough, the Seventh Battle Group can use the fortress’s terrain advantage to defend against one, defending two would be somewhat exhausting, and defending against three without reinforcements is almost impossible to hold the fortress.

“What about reinforcements?”

Deputy Battalion Commander Liao Yingjun was polishing a long knife when he heard this and looked up at Battalion Commander Yan Hongtian.

The knife had a dark sheen, its blade shining with a cold glimmer, exuding an unmatched sharpness, evidently a Divine Spiritual Treasure.
