Chapter 190 Current Status of Fortress No.
After the knife-wielding officer's voice fell, the bow-wielding officer next to him hurriedly pulled his clothes.

Although he was also quite surprised, after all, Roland had just solved their predicament, so how could he be so rude?

After being pulled by him, the knife-wielding officer also came to his senses.

After looking at each other, the two of them quickly bowed to Roland to express their gratitude.

"Thank you for your assistance."

"It's just a small favor, no need to be so polite."

Roland asked casually, not paying attention to the knife-wielding officer's initial rudeness.

"This is Fortress No. 3, right?"

Hearing Roland's question, the bow-wielding officer stopped the knife-wielding soldier who was about to answer and asked first.

"This is Fortress No. 3. May I ask who you are?"

Roland nodded slightly, took out a transfer order sent by the Locke Resistance Army, and said.

"I'm Roland. I'm here to guard Fortress No. 3 according to orders."

While Roland was explaining, the first-level knight beside him picked up the transfer order and walked over to hand it to the bow-wielding officer.

The bow-wielding officer took the transfer order and looked over it.

After confirming that there was no error in the transfer order and the instructions he had received previously, he breathed a sigh of relief.

So he is one of us. That’s fine. A wizard is a wizard. If he is willing to take the initiative to fight the greenskins, he must be a good wizard.

After Roland took out the transfer order and proved his identity, many problems were easily solved.

They would not allow an unknown army to be stationed near Fortress No. 3, but if it was an army transferred over, that would be no problem.

Moreover, according to the personnel appointments of Locke's resistance army, they and the guards of Fortress No. 3 were assigned to his command.

Although they still have to obey the orders from the Locke Resistance, in addition to executing the Locke Resistance's orders to defend Fortress No. 3, as long as Roland's orders do not conflict with this order, they must obey Roland's orders.

Of course, there is no standard definition for whether there is a conflict or not. It all depends on what the guard officers think.

Generally speaking, if the army garrisoning the fortress is strong, the guards officers will be obedient and honest. If they are not strong, they will just treat it as bullshit.

Roland, who came with eight legions and 50,000 soldiers, was naturally one of the stronger ones.

The two officers did not hesitate. After returning the transfer order to the first-level knight beside them, they saluted Roland again, but this time it was a military salute to a superior.

"Sherik, Captain of the Fortress Guard Team No. 3."

"Lugo, deputy captain of the Fortress Guard Team No. 3."

After each of them stated their names and positions, they spoke to Roland in tacit understanding.

"Meet Mr. Roland."

Seeing the two people express their opinions, Roland nodded slightly.

Although he didn't care much about the guards in the fortress, it would be great if he could take over peacefully.

At least, with the support of these locals, Roland didn't have to waste time understanding and integrating the situation of Fortress No. 3. Moreover, they had been fighting the Green Tide for quite a while, so they should be able to provide information about the nearby Greenskin Tribe. In this way, Roland could be more relaxed. In this case, Roland didn't waste time and directly asked about the situation of Fortress No. 3.

After a brief inquiry, Roland also learned the general situation of Fortress No. 3.

Fortress No. 3 is the first important line of defense for the Locke Rebellion against the Green Tide.

As the front line, Fortress No. 3 is the first city to be attacked once the Green Tide launches an attack. It is a highly militarized military fortress with basically no ordinary civilians.

However, since it is a border city, some refugees flee from the east from time to time. Therefore, Fortress No. 3 has also specially set aside some areas to accommodate refugees.

Since Roland was transferred here, the troops originally stationed in Fortress No. 3 were transferred away. Therefore, Fortress No. 3 currently has only one thousand defenders and three thousand simply trained militiamen, as well as more than one thousand refugees who have not yet been transferred to the rear due to the green tide.

Although the number of people is a little less, the supplies in Fortress No. 3 were just replenished some time ago, and the troops did not take them away when they were transferred. Therefore, the food and weapons and equipment in Fortress No. 3 are still relatively sufficient.

The food supplies could meet the needs of 30,000 people for about two months, but the weapons and equipment were rather scarce, consisting of only a thousand sets of armor of poor quality and miscellaneous weapons.

Although Roland had no shortage of this thing, he still accepted it with a smile, thinking that free things should be wasted.

According to the transfer order, these are the start-up funds that the Locke Resistance Army left for Roland.

However, Roland should not be short of this thing.

As the two talked, they also secretly looked at the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the soldiers around them.

Although it is impossible to tell what material it is made of, you can tell it is a good thing just by looking at its golden appearance.

Listening to the two people's words, Roland nodded slightly, glanced at the bloody battlefield not far away, walked over and spoke.

"Let's go into the city first. It's not convenient to stand here all the time."

After hearing Roland's words, the two of them did not refute. They nodded and took the initiative to lead Roland.

Afterwards, Roland led an elite team of a thousand men into Fortress No. 3.

After the brutal fighting, the situation in Fortress No. 3 was naturally not very good. Along the way, the guards and militiamen were cleaning up the battlefield and dragging away the green-skinned orc corpses piled on the city walls one by one. As for the human corpses, they collected them solemnly one by one.

Even if a human corpse is chopped into several pieces, they will put it back together again.

In addition to the people cleaning up the battlefield, some militiamen also moved various materials from the warehouses in the city and hurriedly repaired the gaps in the city walls, repaired defensive buildings, and replenished the consumption of various city defense tools.

While observing all this, Roland continued to question the two officers beside him.

Although Fortress No. 3 was handed over to Roland for defense, it did not mean that the Locke Rebels would not provide any support. The necessary supplies would still be there.

A batch of food will be delivered every one or two months. As for weapons and equipment, they will no longer be supplied for free. You can only actively apply to the Rock Resistance Army. If your performance is good in peacetime, the Rock Resistance Army will send you a batch of weapons and equipment.

As for the replenishment of troops, the same goes for that. Just apply to the Locke Resistance Army and it will be fine as long as the performance is good.

Of course, even if the application is approved, how many weapons and equipment and how many soldiers can be provided is another question.

In addition to going through official channels, you can also find ways on your own, buy them yourself, and recruit soldiers in the rear.

Roland naturally did not intend to simply go through the official route. No matter how much the Locke rebels could give him, at most they could only help Roland maintain the current size of his army. If he wanted to expand his army, he would have to rely on himself.
