A few minutes later, a few people came up from the observation station. One of them was a short man. He was the captain in charge of this place.
"What's the situation?"
The captain asked as soon as he arrived. At the same time, he picked up the magic binoculars and looked.
"Captain, it's still the same three people. There's no situation around."
Old Wang reported.
The captain didn't say anything. He observed for a long time before putting down the binoculars.
"Let's wait for them to come over."
After another twenty minutes, Zhang Xing and the other two arrived at the gate of the fortress.
At this time, the city wall was already full of armed soldiers. They held crossbows and aimed at Zhang Xing and the other two.
Zhang Xing and the other two were in disguise. They supported each other and limped forward.
Ruan Mei had always been dressed as a boy. Basically, no one paid attention to a rustic young man.
"Report your names. Which team do you belong to?"
One of the city guards yelled.
"Zhang San, Ruan Si, Kai Wu. We belong to the assault team."
The three of them said in a low voice.
"What's the situation at the front?"
The soldier asked again.
"Only the three of us are left in our assault team. The others are all dead."
Zhang Xing knew that this was a test to see if they were enemy spies.
"How did you survive?"
The soldier continued to ask.
"Playing dead!"
Zhang Xing spat out two simple words.
Instead of continuing to make up a story and make them keep asking, it was better to be straightforward and leave them with nothing to ask.
"Bring them up."
The captain grinned. Just based on this sentence, he was sure that the three people below were not spies.
A few minutes later, Zhang Xing and the other two were dragged up in the bamboo basket.
"The three of you, follow me. Tell me the situation in detail."
The captain turned and walked towards the barracks.
An hour later, the squad leader had a helpless look on his face. He dismissed Zhang Xing and the other two and assigned them to his subordinates as ordinary scouts.
He still got some useful information from Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing only said that they had been hiding in the pile of corpses and playing dead. He just didn't know anything else.
The squad leader was also a seasoned soldier. He had also played dead before, so he understood Zhang Xing and the others very well.
"The enemy has finally arrived. According to Zhang San's description, it is clearly a group of people from their vanguard army."
"Perhaps we will be able to start the first defensive battle tonight."
The captain analyzed the situation, organized his words, and walked towards the captain's barracks.
Zhang Xing seemed to be speaking incoherently, but in fact, he had already conveyed the key information.
The squad leader quickly picked out the key points from his words and organized them together.
At this moment, in the captain's camp, the squad leader had finished his report.
"These are all conclusions drawn from Zhang San's words?"
The captain asked calmly, but he was thinking carefully in his heart.
"Yes, Captain. According to the information provided by Zhang San, this general concluded that the Astounding Empire has sent at least 500 million soldiers."
The squad leader said with a heavy expression.
After a moment of silence, the captain slowly said, "Come with me to report to Captaincy."
The information was reported layer by layer and quickly reached the fort master of Glory Fortress.
Fort Master Ya Dud, a Six-star War Elder, was the biggest boss of the fortress.
Vice Fort Master Duo Ha, a Six-star War Elder.
Commander Ai and Commander Luo, a Six-star War Elder.
Commander Shen Tuxiong, a Six-star War Elder.
… ….
There were a total of eight commanders, and each of them controlled five commanders.
Each commander had ten Captaincy under him, and each Captaincy led one million soldiers.
Each commander had ten million soldiers under him, for a total of four hundred million soldiers.
This was the army structure after the East-West Alliance.
The upper echelons were all in place, but the soldiers below were far from this number.
They did not expect the Astounding Empire to attack so early.
The number of people in the fortress had just reached 50 million.
The enemy had already reached their doorstep, and the reinforcements were still dragging their feet.
