Chapter 440: Deployment

Fourth Defense Zone Outer City.

"System, what is the situation? Why is there nothing in the Summoning Barracks?"

Inside a spacious room, Yingzhou began to recover his exhausted Spiritual Power immediately after entering.

After about 150 minutes, Yingzhou slowly opened his eyes, and feeling that his body was normal, he immediately asked the system.

"Did the host misunderstand something? What is the purpose of the Summoning Barracks? What were you hoping to see inside?"

Following the system's counter-question, Yingzhou was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he said.

"Isn't the purpose of the Summoning Barracks to summon soldiers?"

Soon, the system's voice appeared in Yingzhou's mind again.

"Isn't that right? The host has not summoned any soldiers, so what should appear in the Summoning Barracks?"

Yingzhou was stumped by the system's counter-question; yes, that was indeed the logic, but those fortresses, which looked so imposing, were empty inside, and it just felt very disappointing.

"Uh, then what are those four fortresses inside for? Why are there four of them?"

"Replying to the host, currently the host can only use two barracks; the other two cannot be used yet. Even if the host can enter, nothing else will appear inside."

After hearing the system's explanation, Yingzhou suddenly remembered that he seemed to have asked the system this question before; did this Summoning Barracks need to be upgraded?

Damn it! Why does it feel like a nesting doll!

Thinking of this, Yingzhou could only adjust his inner thoughts at this moment.

"Phew... then how should I use the Summoning Legion?"

"When the host summons soldiers, an option will pop up asking whether to summon the soldiers out from the barracks."

Once Yingzhou heard that he had to choose himself, he asked the system again.

"System, this is too troublesome. Is there a more efficient and convenient method?"

The system was silent for a few seconds before answering.

"Yes, there is. The host can choose to customize the quantity of the Summoning Barracks.

For example, soldiers summoned by this barracks can be set to automatically summon when their numbers drop to a certain percentage. The host only needs to ensure that the points and Faith Value required to summon soldiers are sufficient."

Upon hearing this method, Yingzhou's eyes lit up, and he secretly grumbled to himself.

This system, having such a good method and not telling him first, making him ask before revealing it—he certainly didn't believe it wasn't intentional.

However, now was not the time to talk about this. After thinking it over, Yingzhou said to the system.

"System, then open the custom settings for the Summoning Barracks."

As soon as he finished speaking, the System Panel popped up, and Yingzhou began to ponder how many troops to station in the Fourth Defense Zone.

"Cadian Shock Troops are a must here; not only can they boost morale on the battlefield, but they can also train the soldiers of the Fourth Defense Zone, further improving the individual quality of the Fourth Defense Zone's soldiers.

Then there is the Death Korps of Krieg; their numbers are nearly ten times that of other Astra Militarum. To ensure that the Fourth Defense Zone can expand outward later and counterattack the Beast Race, the Death Korps of Krieg must also have some..."

After more than ten minutes, Yingzhou finally finished setting the summoning numbers for each legion in the Summoning Barracks. Just then, the system's notification sound suddenly rang out.

"By the way, host, the Summoning Barracks can be customized with names to ensure that the host can distinguish the location of each Summoning Barracks later."

This notification from the system made Yingzhou raise an eyebrow.

Oh my, this system actually knows how to remind him; that is truly rare.

"It's a rarity that you would actually take the initiative to remind me."

Yingzhou looked at the various legion numbers he had customized and said in a relaxed tone.

【Summoning Barracks individual legion summoning quantities.】

【Death Korps of Krieg 10,000 men, Catachan Jungle Fighters 4,000 men, Cadian Shock Troops 6,000 men, Attila Barbarian Cavalry 2,000 men, Armageddon Steel Legion 5,000 men.】

【Threshold: Summoning begins when legion losses exceed 30%.】

"That should be about right. This can go straight into action, but we still need to ensure the issue of logistical supplies. This is different from a defensive battle; there are more things to consider.

However, these soldiers, plus the Human Alliance soldiers of the Fourth Defense Zone and the soldiers who join the army later, will all become the power of the Fourth Defense Zone to resist the Beast Race. Plus the Salamanders warriors, the Fourth Defense Zone now only needs to focus on improving its prosperity.

By the way, let's call this Summoning Barracks the Fourth Fortress Barracks."

Yingzhou didn't have any thoughts about the name of the barracks; simple and easy to remember was fine.

"Understood, it has been recorded."

Fourth Defense Zone Barracks.

Although Kelin had left that open area, he had been paying attention to the movements there, only to find that Yingzhou had actually set up a Spiritual Power Wall there.

After the Spiritual Power Wall was removed by Yingzhou, a barracks consisting of four fortresses appeared in the previously empty area.

On the angular buildings of the four fortresses, there was a Double-Headed Eagle Emblem.

When Kelin came here again, he found a few Cadian soldiers guarding the place. Seeing Kelin peering over and showing signs of approaching, a Cadian soldier walked up, saluted Kelin, and said.

"I'm sorry, you cannot get too close to here. Without the Emperor's permission, no one is allowed to approach."

Hearing the Cadian soldier say this, Kelin had no choice but to nod and say.

"Alright, I understand."

Just as Kelin was leaving, he looked back at the four fortresses again, but a scene that shocked him appeared.

The Double-Headed Eagle Emblems on two of the fortresses began to emit light. Immediately after, the gate of the first fortress lifted with a boom, and the sound of uniform footsteps came from the rising dust.

The first to walk out were the Krieg soldiers wearing gas masks; they were suffocatingly silent.

And from another fortress, out walked one after another, men wearing red headscarves, their bronze-colored bodies glistening with oil under the sunlight.

These Catachan tough guys walked out brazenly, occasionally spouting rough language, and the weapons in their hands were not entirely uniform; there were even Catachan tough guys with Flamers.

Among them were also some Catachan female warriors wearing tank tops, equally muscular and strong, who would occasionally burst into wild laughter with the Catachan tough guys around them.

Just at this moment, Kelin only felt a pungent smell wafting from the fortress where those Catachan tough guys had walked out, which made those Catachan warriors burst into curses one after another.

"F***! Why does it stink so much!"

"My f***ing god, it's the f***ing Attilans! F***, let's get out of here!"

"I knew it, it absolutely had to be that bunch of Attila's, only they have such a foul stench on them, it's truly f***ing ridiculous!"
