Chapter 255: Rifles Fight Eagles

"Lord Allen, so far, the Lionheart Kingdom has lost about 4,000 troops, and it is impossible to count how many wounded the enemy is, but there must be a lot of them."

After lunch, Eren kept watch on the high mountain every day, keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the orcs below.

This report is a stark illustration of the devastating losses of the Lionhearts, who are helpless in the face of Tomorrow's new weaponry.

"Continue to consume, either wait for the arrival of the Minotaur and form a trap, or the Lionheart will take the initiative to attack......" Alan stared at the mountain with his scope, frowning secretly.

He couldn't see the back of the mountain, and looking at it like this would make it less time-sensitive, which wasn't great.

Birds and animals such as eagles are good helpers for observation, orcs do not understand bird language, and Eren can communicate.

Alan whistled, and the pigeons on standby flew over.

"Goo-goo!" Alan pointed to the sky, and then to the mountain.

The pigeon raised his head, listened for a long time, seemed to understand Alan's words, and replied, "Goo! ”

The pigeons flew away, alerting the eagles to patrol and reporting what they had seen to Allen.

The eagle flew over the enemy camp, and the lion soldiers below looked up and saw that the eagle was hovering, and said worriedly: "This eagle has not left, what should I do?" ”

"In broad daylight, Tomorrow City is already staring at us blatantly."

The Lion Nation soldiers were slightly uneasy, but thinking that there were 30,000 troops, it was only a matter of time before Tomorrow City was destroyed.

In the pre-war council office, the senior generals once again gathered to discuss whether or not to conquer Tomorrow City, and when to do so.

This time, however, they didn't have to spend a lot of time discussing, as the fourth stand-in carried a letter from the High Priest to announce the outline of the next military operation.

Stand-in No. 4 took the military order and read in a deep voice: "As of this morning, the death toll of our side has been counted, and a total of 3,954 soldiers have died, and the proportion of Templars accounts for 3% of them. ”

"The enemy's artillery is at least a kilometer away from the firing range, we can't passively wait for the next night, now we have to take the initiative."

"Their army will not exceed three thousand at full, and we have twenty-six thousand regular troops, four thousand paladins, and twenty thousand slaves."

"Choose a low wall and push it through it in one go."

After the fourth finished speaking, he read the military order paper in public and put it on the table, "I'm done listening, hurry up and prepare for battle." ”

The High Priest's meaning is very clear, he wants to take advantage of the fact that there are still enough people to fight with Tomorrow City.

The equipment of Tomorrow City is too strong, the range of the guns is long and accurate, the range of the cannons is also extremely far, and the invention of cannonballs that can explode is simply not a way to live.

The generals looked at each other, their throats rolled, and they wanted to say something, but in the end they had nothing to say, and went back to do pre-war mobilization with a calm face.

They knew that there would be a battle between Lionheart and Tomorrow sooner or later, and that battle was supposed to start last night, but last night's grenade bombing and frequent deaths of patrols hindered the army's siege.

Now rest until noon, the soldiers are well fed and drunk, and it's time to give their hearts for the kingdom.

Once it was decided that there was going to be a fight, all the soldiers in the camp moved, like a nest of ants in chaos.

The eagle circled in the sky, saw the soldiers in the camp move faster, and immediately flew towards the forest.

Another eagle in the forest saw it leave, and immediately flew into the sky, took its shift, and continued to monitor the movements of the enemy camp.

The sentry of the camp was annoyed when he saw that the eagle kept flying overhead, and finally one flew away, and then a second flew in.

"Brother, why don't we shoot the eagles with arquebuses?"

"Are you crazy, the eagle flies so high, can our guns hit?"

"Who knows if you don't try?"

At the watchtower, the shield soldier who helped him with the shield pouted, and Nunu asked him to try it.

The sentry was indeed annoyed, and was so encouraged by the shield soldiers that he picked up the arquebus.

First load the gunpowder, pierce the whole strip, then put a round lead bullet, pierce the whole strip, and then fill the gunpowder into the firing pool.

Finally, take out the fire rope, clamp the metal hook with your hand, push it into the fire door to make sure that the fire rope is connected to the black powder, and then raise the muzzle of the gun to preview the eagle.

The eagle's circling path was elliptical, not round, and the sentry had just looked at it for a while, and had already guessed roughly where the eagle would pass, so he looked at an open space.

"I'll help you light the arquebus." The shield soldier helped to light the rope, and the rope burned.

The rope burns slowly, taking about ten seconds to burn from end to end.

While waiting, he kept an eye on the eagle, and found that the burning was about to burn to the end, and the eagle was still some distance away, so he quickly moved the muzzle of the gun to preview the eagle's flight path.

Bang!

A violent recoil force was applied to the orc's arm, and the bullet was pushed into the air, flying high and being blown by a gust of wind, without hitting anything.

However, the eagle was startled by the sound of the gunshot, and looked down to see an orc in the watchtower raise his gun to aim at it, and the eagle hurriedly flapped its wings and slipped away in a panic.

The Eagle often interacts with the orcs of Tomorrow City, and often sees their muskets burst into a piercing fire, sometimes killing people for no apparent reason.

It knew those weapons, so it saw the Lionheart Sentinel soldiers shooting, and subconsciously thought they were the murder weapons of Tomorrowland.

The beast-made guns of the Lionheart Kingdom were no match for Tomorrow City, and the Sentinel Soldier had no illusions of success, but when he saw the eagle retreat, his face also smiled.

"No, you really hit?"

"Good luck, I'm lucky." The sentry scratched the back of his head and smiled, so happy.

After a while, the legend of the sentry hunting bird came out of the camp.

"Did you know that the shot was fired by the Sentinel Soldier, and he hit an eagle! The eagle was hit and fled! ”

Former Sentinel Steve frowned and spat on the ground, "Bah, I don't believe it, if it really hits, why doesn't the eagle fall!" ”

"Well, the eagle flies too high, and the power of the bullet is weakened." The companion is a novice, and has no three-dimensional knowledge of gunpowder and firearms.

"The first two, this is your powder bag, be careful not to get wet." The gunpowder master, who was in charge of supervising the logistics of distributing the gunpowder bags, frowned, and his voice suddenly rose by a few decibels.

It was a sad story that the gunpowder master didn't dare to say in his heart, he knew that the gunpowder formula was inferior and the bullet was not powerful enough.

The eagle slipped away, it was not actually hit, but such an incident before the war did have the effect of encouraging the soldiers.

Their sentinels were successful in shooting birds, and there was no reason why the regular army would be powerless against the spearmen of Tomorrow City.

Under the rumors, the orcs regained their confidence, and with full hope, they left the camp and ran to the direction they had already reconnoitred yesterday.

That direction was where the four-meter walls of Tomorrow City were located.

At the same time, Alan also received an eagle notice from the eagle.

He wrote a letter on the spot and sent the eagle to the rear wall.

War is on the verge of breaking out.
