Chapter 232: On the Banks of the Sauron River (Please subscribe!)

The Namur Fortress, located on the banks of the Sauron River, is the second wonder of the Idar Territory. The towering towers and thick walls make it look like a beast crawling on the ground, ready to attack, able to devour all enemies who dare to invade it.

The Norman flag had been taken down and replaced by a griffin flag bearing the Stuart family emblem.

It was hung high up on the highest point of the Namur Fortress, whirring in the biting cold wind, announcing to the world the sovereignty and ownership of this land - this is the territory of the Stuart family! People were coming and going on the wall that was large enough to accommodate eight people walking side by side, and the soldiers in charge of logistics were moving boxes of magic crystal bombs to the designated location.

There are three such walls in the Namur Fortress!

Moreover, from inside to outside, from high to low, even the "Fourteen Fortresses of the Northern Frontier", known as the strongest fortress of the Norman Empire, pales in comparison to the Namur Fortress! Eli Cook stood beside his new weapon, his eyes full of determination and resentment.

This was not his first time to participate in a war. As a "veteran", he had personally experienced the victory on the Golan Heights and witnessed the changes in Idar County with his own eyes.

Originally, he was just a civilian in Idar Territory, but due to his excellent physical fitness and political literacy, he successfully passed the soldier selection assessment of Idar Territory and became a glorious Idar soldier.

After the Battle of the Golan Heights, he served in the Idar Army's First Army and the Idar Artillery Test Range, and now he has become a gunner in the Idar artillery unit.

With the deployment of magic cannons in the army, the gunners responsible for operating this powerful long-range weapon have become popular among all soldiers.

After all... this can be said to be the most powerful weapon publicly displayed in the Idar territory today, and only those who have passed the most rigorous tests can become a qualified gunner.

But then again, Eli Cook, known as a "veteran", was actually just a young man of only 19 years old, and his original purpose of joining the army was just to make a living.

But under the lectures of the military instructors, he got a deeper understanding of Idar Territory, and he admired Count Bruno Stuart of Idar more and more, so... he gradually had other ideas. He wanted to guard the peace of Idar Territory and protect the people of Idar Territory!

In his opinion, no matter whether it was Odin or something else, any force that wanted to invade Idar Territory was evil! Only in Idar Territory could civilians hold their heads high! Only in Idar Territory could the people have hope for life! Therefore, for anyone who wanted to wipe out Idar Territory, he would respond with his own blood, even his life!

He squatted down and fondly stroked the cold and hard barrel of the magic cannon with his hands, as if he was caressing his lover...

Eli Cook clearly remembered what the army commander Sam Layton had said: "As long as Idar can repel the attack of the Odin people, then from now on, the name of Idar will resound throughout the empire!"

And as a member of Idar's soldiers, he will also gain his own immortal glory!

Eli Cook couldn't wait to see the magic cannon's first appearance in the war, and couldn't wait to see how the Odin people would react to being bombarded by rounds of artillery fire.

At this moment, the Idar people, who are full of martial virtues, are already eager to fight!

…

Sam Layton judged that the Soran Territory would not last long.

And the fact is, it is indeed so.

In just one morning, the entire territory of Sauron fell.

There are two reasons. One is that the fighting power of Odin's people is too strong, and the other is that Sauron's people are gone.

The "gone" here does not mean "gone" in the biological sense, but means that all the civilians and serfs in the Territory of Soran and the soldiers who laid down their arms have been transferred and received by the Territory of Idar.

Even the wealth accumulated by Earl Soren for generations had been emptied out by the Idar people in advance.

What was left for the Odinites was only an empty city and a steward who had served Sauron's family for generations and was unwilling to leave easily.

Count Soren passed away just a week ago.

After all... the defeat in the war and the grief of losing his son in old age had already made his body fragile, and the continuous bloodletting also aggravated the deterioration of Earl Soren's health.

Therefore, Earl Thorin, who had experienced many ups and downs and hardships in his life, eventually fell ill and died suddenly under the blow of the impending invasion of Odin.

Since there was no suitable heir, facing the invasion of Odin's people, Sauron's territory naturally became a headless fly, became chaotic, and lost its backbone.

No one can guarantee that the tragedy on the Valens Plain will not happen somewhere else. In addition, the Territory of Solon is adjacent to the Territory of Idar, so... under Bruno's order, all the people who originally lived in the Territory of Solon were transferred to the working-class community in the Territory of Idar.

So, Odin's army, which gained nothing in Sauron's territory, finally came straight to the bank of the Sauron River.

Idar Territory was the last noble territory that Odin's army was going to take over, and it was also the last stop of Raymond O'Sullivan's trip! However... as Odin's army gradually moved south, Adjutant Atlus Rivian felt a little worried.

"General Raymond..." he said nervously.

"how?"

Raymond glanced at him casually. Raymond O'Sullivan had never been kind to this traitor who was highly valued by his cousin, the Odin Lord Areo O'Sullivan.

"That thing floating in the sky... has the Stuart family emblem drawn on it..."

"Stuart family?" Raymond frowned, not having much impression of them.

"The Stuart family is the ruler of Idar Territory. Their family has participated in wars against the Kingdom of Basel and the Odin Empire. Although their record is not as brilliant as that of the Hastings family, they have also made considerable military achievements." Atreus Rivian explained.

"Have you ever participated in the war against the Odin Empire?" Raymond raised his voice a little.

"Yes..." Atreus Rivian answered, but he felt that Raymond seemed to be about to suffer from a second-year syndrome, so he quickly added: "...but His Majesty has specifically ordered that you must never do anything as catastrophic as what happened on the Valens Plains again!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"But this is the last territory, we should let the soldiers relax a little..." Raymond insisted.

"But, this is..."

Atlu Rivian stopped talking halfway because he saw a huge bridge over the River Sauron.

But why is that thing still reflective?

Atlu Rivian took a closer look, and then...

He was stunned...

It's steel! There's no doubt about it!

As a noble, he has some knowledge.

So... what appeared before Odin's army was actually a bridge made of steel?
