Chapter 522: Pulling Out the Whistle (1)
The purple sun in the sky was obscured by heavy clouds, the forest was scattered with ethereal white mist, and the tall forest clumps were very dense in the canopy, and the branches became more sparse the closer they were to the ground. The road begins in the mountains of Brienia and descends, gradually leaving behind the hills and valleys, and the distance between the sky and the ground seems to be widened at once, and everything under the sky seems to be magnified.
The tall mountains in the distance block the warm and humid air currents over the southeastern ocean, and the thick clouds clearly tell people that it is brewing countless storms.
A winding road leads from a forested valley to a tall mountain, and a large team is quietly hurrying on its way. Because of the rugged and difficult roads, the troops had to rest six or seven times a day, even nine or ten times.
Hessesen's iron leaf armor was more powerful on the tall body of the barbarian warrior, and the strange monster-shaped pattern covering had been pulled down, revealing only two deep and gloomy eyes, looking straight ahead; The light chain mail was placed on the pikemen's bodies, making them look much thicker, and the shiny spears, though a little dull under the influence of the hazy weather, still looked murderous; The Green Elves at the back of the line were much softer, their handsome faces in leather armor and a bit serious, and their speed was not inferior to the two troops in front of them.
The hideous-looking orc troops walked last, their armor was also standard equipment, and the battle axes in their hands looked a little heavy.
This time the troops came out and did not take the main road, the purpose was to raid the Sriland fortress. Therefore, from the moment they entered the Black Forest training base, the troops maintained a high level of alert and did not alarm anyone. After the troops were deployed, they did not take the main road, but went directly into the mountains of Brinia, and then crossed the Hengduan Mountains into the province of Kasef.
The journey was going well, but something unexpected happened yesterday...... In a place where fighting should not have taken place, the scout troops turned out to be attritional.
Although the northern part of Casseff Province was already under Hathaway's control, the Vermont side sent spies to the forefront. The word will get out. That's why Hathaway travels through the mountains, and because of this, the troops have to rest for a long time every day so that the soldiers can maintain their full strength. But to be on the safe side. The troops sent a large number of scouts. Detect movement around you.
However. Accidents always come when you don't expect them.
A squad of scouts hit the road early in the morning and were ambushed in a hilly area with extremely difficult terrain, and the scouts were unlucky to lose one of their men in the first round of enemy attacks. Because the enemy only fires this cold arrow.
As the scout team searched the entire area, they were able to stop the three agents from Vermont City. Two of the three agents died during the resistance, and the last half-dead was dragged behind a horse by the scouts until they reached the camp, so that the last thing Hathaway saw was a pile of mashed meat.
Hathaway said to the scouts, "Good job! But pay attention to strengthening the defense. ”
So the scouts have something to do!
Every morning, four squads of scouts will hit the road, all of whom are the elite of the scout team, clearing a safe passage for the large group and capturing possible enemy agents.
Although these scouts did not gain much, the road was correspondingly peaceful in the past half a month. No one complains about such a thing, and the warriors are not crazy, they also like this kind of day when there are no cold arrows, no traps, no blood, just a little nervous.
As the main force of the Cordillera City Defense crossed the Hengduan Mountains, the garrison of Blanca City greeted Hathaway and his party.
Under their cover, the troops marched overnight and then arrived at the Sennar fortress on the hill of Milonis at dawn for a five-day rest.
The Sennar Fortress used to be the most important horse farm in the province of Kasef, but for various reasons, the horse farm was moved elsewhere and became a paramilitary base.
In addition to this, the area near Sennar and the vicinity is the most important wine-growing region in the province of Casev, and from the fortress's enemy tower, the dark brown vineyards in the distance descend the steep slopes to the valley floor; Flat-roofed farmhouses are scattered everywhere like a cacaprice; The elegant, scattered aspen trees are reminiscent of the similarly shaped cypress trees that can be found everywhere outside the Gettysburg Fortress.
On the walls of the Sennar Fortress, facing the rising purple sun, listening to the subdued speech of the fortress commander, Hathaway saw all of the above, he liked this place, and he was also moved by the welcome speech of the fortress commander.
"Eight years ago, when my brothers and I came to the fort, we were overcome by a strange feeling that came to us when we opened the window, and we were confronted with a beautiful and peaceful picture of life, and we swore to guard it in front of the portrait of the late Majesty. Later, the underground coalition attacked the fortress, and just as the entire army was about to be destroyed, the lord descended from the sky and repelled the underground coalition army. Now, His Majesty the Lord is back in her hands, waiting for her to grant her peace and prosperity. ”
Hathaway took up residence in the fortress, and Limbider was extremely impressed with the fact that the commander of the fortress was very different from any soldier she had seen before. Limbiid was not only fond of poetry, but also of working in the fields. Looking at the appearance of this baron when he organized the hands to cut wood and burn charcoal, it was hard to believe that he was still a nobleman.
In her spare time, Hathaway sat under the porch of the headquarters with the fortress commander she had just met, looking out at the vegetable garden in the courtyard and the stables surrounding a few thoroughbred horses. Occasionally, Limbide would bring out a bottle of a cherished Sennar vintage, and the number of people sitting on the porch would change from two to many.
Soldiers are really a strange group of animals, especially those with a long history and fine traditions. When they get together, they don't fight like male beasts on the wrong path, but look at each other with a vague and expectant gaze, and then politely say, "Let's have a competition!" Or...... The drill is not bad either! ”
And so the learning began.
The exercise revolved around an abandoned manor house on the hill of Milonis. The estate on the hill of Milonis is very famous, each of which is a number of famous vineyards, but this vineyard that is no longer verifiable in name is different, it is located on a cliff on the top of the mountain, in the direction of the sunrise, for some unknown reason, it has been in decline for a long time.
The warriors of the city defense army are going to conquer it! The orc warriors were heavily armed, and even hauled some medium-sized siege equipment. After six hours, the Green Elves managed to reach the top, and not only did they outmaneuver the other brigades of the same army, but they also left the garrison far behind the garrison who knew the area so well.
"Worthy of the Green Elves!" Baron Limbid said this at a picnic on the edge of a cliff.
Hathaway nodded approvingly. "If I bring in the artillery unit as well. I'm afraid we won't even have a place to picnic! ”
"Yes, yes!" Special Warfare Captain Jafa. Lord Troon said with some emotion. "With terrain like this, our artillery units are afraid that they will bomb this place into ruins with just one salvo."
Limbid's eyes widened in anticipation, "My lord, the artillery unit and the magic corps are on the march this time?" Why didn't they come together? ”
Hathaway waved her hand. "They and the cavalry units chose another path. We will meet at Chaliban City. ”
Limbid burst out laughing. "My lord, the mountains are foggy, and this is the most amazing natural spectacle of the Milonys!"
Clouds. Definitely a rarity!
The valley lowlands in the northern part of the province of Kasef are covered by a dense fog of humid and warm atmospheres. At the top of the hill of Milonius, the peaks of all sizes rose at the bottom of the sky, and the mist in the valley drifted in cascading on top of each other, and the setting sun then hid in the clouds, and the white fog was bordered with brilliant gold, and in a short time the gold edges turned a vivid light red.
The rough laughter of the officers was heard in the mountains, and they embarked in the fog on the road back, which was rough and sometimes lost, but their pleasure lay in their tireless exploration.
Hathaway stopped on the mountainside, and she saw the fortress gradually lost in the fog. Looking further at her feet, she found herself floating in the air, the mist wisps that soon surrounded her, and then a gust of mountain wind, and the fog dispersed beneath her feet.
"What a beautiful view!"
Hathaway whispered a compliment, and then she smiled and said to the officers in front of and behind her, "Be careful, everyone! We are so close to heaven! ”
The officers laughed again, and the laughter echoed through the valley, condensing like a mist, until the ashes of the setting sun had completely burned down.
It was already evening back at the fortress, and the lights were lit in the fortress, which spread out from the foot of the hill and along a stone path to the steel gates of the fortress.
The fortress is clinging to a hill, and access to the fortress is one way through the city, where brick and stone flat-roofed houses are scattered and wealthy farmers have built arrow towers on rooftops.
Cecia. Hughes had been waiting in the fortress for a long time, and Hathaway vaguely separated her from Jaypha. Troon leaned on as his right-hand man, taking them with him wherever he went.
Cecia. Hughes first reported to the lord the general situation of the day, in fact, it was nothing, she just reported some enemy information that has never been verified, and then there are the appointments and dismissals of some operatives, and finally the rest are some trivial matters, Hathaway doesn't even need to pay attention to it.
Cecia. Hughes seemed to have been preoccupied all day, Hathaway had noticed it at the dinner table, but she didn't say anything, she knew that Cecia. Hughes doesn't hide anything, and if there is something, she will say it.
Sure enough, not long after Hathaway returned to the room, Cecia. Hughes knocked on her door.
"Cecia, sit down."
Hathaway instructed her new maid, "Anne, make a pot of coffee and bring it over." ”
"Yes, sir." The little maid hurriedly retreated, and soon after, the room was already filled with the aroma of coffee.
"Is there something wrong with the enemy?" After the little maid stepped back, Hathaway asked.
"No, the situation at those checkpoints has been completely figured out." Cecia. Hughes replied.
"Oh?"
Hathaway put down her glass and looked at each other, waiting for her to explain.
"Archduke Cassef sent someone to mediate between Caesar and the Church of Nature, hoping that they would be able to provide a mage group."
"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not easy, right? It would be good for Caesar to be able to provide a second fleet, but if the court mage group was transferred out, would he still have cards to play? ”
"Caesar's side is naturally not worried, but I'm afraid it's difficult to say on the side of the Natural Church."
"The Church of Nature...... We can make a little contribution to our collaborators. But we also have to be prepared to cut off their claws without mercy if they dare to reach out and grab it! ”
Hathaway sneered.
According to the information provided by the intelligence agencies, the special operations team carried out a meticulous sweep, and after clearing some of the enemy scouts, they found a hidden outpost, but the troops stationed at the outpost in the province of Casef seemed to have been completely transferred, leaving only an empty wooden and stone fortress.
Located in the heart of the valley, the locals call it Kekhmonia, which means 'mountain nest'...... Surrounded by steep mountains, boulders stretch from the valley floor to the mountainside, and from the mountainside, the mountain slope shows a trend of gradual base rise. If it weren't for the accurate information provided by the intelligence agencies, the special operators would never have thought that the enemy would hide the sentry post in such a place, and I believe that no one would touch the idea of that thorn forest.
It may be a bit of a hassle for ordinary people, but for the special operations team, a few magic scrolls can turn this thorn forest into ashes.
Of course, the enemy's ambush plot was ruined, and one of the squadron leaders with rich combat experience destroyed the thorns, and then drove out the ambushed enemies with smoke and fire, and finally annihilated them all.
Hathaway arrived at the enemy outpost that night, and the mountains were filled with her warriors.
It was not until noon the next day that calm returned, but the wooden fortress buried in a sea of pine trees was fully exposed to the sun. The soldiers of the city defense army cut down all the trees that were ten meters higher than in the vicinity, and the cut giant trees lay across the ground, looking stronger than the separation ditch and barbed wire.
