Chapter 1614: Shameless Traitors Attack the Hillen Aerial Corridor
Major Demos Alfonso may have felt that if he could not take the fortress with his own hands in front of hundreds of thousands of citizens and the big men of Elichar, he might be the villain of the legend in the next century. So, after losing more than half of the puppet troops and losing all the orc slaves, he spent half a day rectifying military affairs, and really showed his ruthlessness to kill several unscrupulous officers who did not obey orders - these people are just the side children of some second- and third-tier families, which will not offend the real bosses, and can indeed have the effect of deterring the morale of the army.
In any case, when the heads of the five sons of the nobility, who were still proud as peacocks in their lifetimes, hung on the flagpole with a face full of cruelty, the thousands of rabble were indeed frightened, and they all said that Major Alfonso was a wolf and that they were willing to obey the orders of such a man.
So, that night, the battle began again. The major organized the only regular army present, the two elite hundred-man detachments reinforced by the Eleventh Legion, and formed the Overseers, escorting a thousand slave soldiers to dig tunnels under the cover of night. Of course, Major Alfonso will not understand that the civil engineering tunnel operation has a good defensive effect on artillery bombardment and gun platoon, and it is estimated that he will only follow the tunnel offensive in the military textbook to see if he can directly dig up the city wall.
However, it turned out that the so-called tunnel offensive must be effective only when the defenders are exhausted. The defenders of Dugu Fort soon discovered what they were doing, and after two rounds of shelling, they found that the effect did not seem to be satisfactory, so they let them go. When the slaves finally approached the city wall, they did not know what mechanism they had touched, and all they heard was a palpitating metal spring with a "click", followed by a loud "boom".
The tunnel that had been dug with great difficulty collapsed in an instant, and more than a hundred slave soldiers died in it.
"Good girl, good clever girl! If you let your principal know, you will definitely be granted 3 A's plus a full scholarship! Carol slapped the wall hard and complimented the petite girl next to her.
"No, that guy is more likely to offer you a high salary to work for him at the North Industries or Future Chamber of Commerce." Elovier said with a smile.
Lieutenant Ava, the student president of the Dugubao Military Academy, a petite girl who was at least five years younger than her actual age, showed a hint of embarrassment: "That, hehe, I'm just a whim......"
It's really just a flash of inspiration. The girl looked at the tunnel that was getting closer and closer, and then took out some guided cannonballs filled with Yao chips, and attached some very sensitive high-temperature impact scrolls to them, allowing the clay golem to crawl under the ground on its back. We all know that cheap clay golems are not good in terms of attack and defense or health bar, and most of the time they can't even beat a well-armed miscellaneous soldier, and their only special ability is to burrow into the ground. And that's when its power really worked.
"A lot of new weapons came out of nowhere. With this design, we can easily block a large area of the battlefield. Alain, who came to the castle tower to help after enduring the pain that had not yet healed, did not hesitate to praise him: "Miss Ava, your principal has not been in a few classes, and a child like you has already become his student, that guy is really lucky." β
"Where, where...... You, you're really too famous. The little girl's pretty face was full of smiles, and modesty, self-esteem, and a little bit of self-satisfaction flashed alternately on the little face. No matter how good she is, she is a student after all, and such a scene really makes her a little confused.
What those present did not know was that a weapon that could have a similar effect, called a mine, had already been produced from the laboratory of the Future Chamber of Commerce. It's just that, for some purposes, Lu Xi didn't mass-produce this thing on the market.
Of course, we must also admit that Miss Ava's inspiration is not meaningless. The combination of explosives, scrolls, and clay golems completely takes the effect of self-discipline triggering lightning at this time. If you think about improving it carefully, it will become a magical version of the ground-penetrating bomb.
Looking at the collapsed tunnels and the cheering student soldiers on the castle tower, Major Alfonso was calm, full of calmness that everything was under control, but if you looked closely, you would find that the corners of the other party's eyes and eyebrows seemed to beat unnaturally from time to time. He looked at the walls and sneered, and returned to the camp. By this time, his subordinates had already snatched the headless body of his chief retainer, Sergeant Horn, who had been blown out of the head by a bullet during the day.
Major Alfonso waved his hand in annoyance, and asked them to hurry away, and then he commanded to the left and right: "Colonel Monkauey, please take off tomorrow and shell Dugu Fort from a high altitude." β
At this time, a small fleet of cruisers and two frigates was stationed in the harbor of Fort Dugu, and Colonel Monkawi was the captain of the cruiser and the temporary commander of this small fleet. These three ships are actually more than 40 years old, but they are still loaded with large shipboard magic crystal cannons. If it is suspended to a high altitude, considering the problem of firing angle and firing linesight, it is possible to form a fire suppression on Dugu Fort.
However, in this way, even if Dugu Fort is really laid, the greatest credit will be Colonel Monkwi's.
Major Alfonso felt that he had given enough face. The other party has made great achievements and eats by himself, but what he never expected was that his attitude was correct to this point, but the other party still refused.
"All I was given the order was to keep hold of the fort and not let Arantis Narcissus escape from the air. The rest are not within the scope of work. Colonel Moncarvey, the old captain who is about to turn 60 years old, said in a natural tone, completely like a businessman who can't communicate with each other.
After Major Alfonso had sent his men away, the old colonel explained to the other two young captains: "Does it cost money to open a ship, does it cost money to open a gun, and more importantly, if the ship and personnel are damaged, do you need to account for the needs of the master?" β
What he said made a lot of sense, and the two young (in fact, in their forties) captains said they really had nothing to say.
"Our ship is very old, but no matter how old we bump into it, we can't afford to lose it! We private soldiers used to just run and escort the family's caravans, and to put it bluntly, they were just Ils's domestic dogs. Could it be that now that there is a Rausch sub-establishment of the capital garrison fleet, he really regards himself as a regular army? Do you really think that when it comes to the appearance of the big guy, that boy brother will give up the credit? The domestic dog has to come out with the body of the domestic dog, and there is no need to stand up for the son-in-law of the Dandy Lane family. β
The captains felt more and more reasonable, and sure enough, there were still old and serious seniors like Major Moncarvey here, so that everyone would not be fooled by that boy who looked very bad.
So, in the days that followed, no matter whether Major Alfonso was kind or coercive, the greatest support for this small fleet was only to take off and swing three times over Dugu Fort, but it did not let go of even a single shot.
All in all, with the joint efforts of both sides, only more than 500 people, including the defenders of the 100th student soldier, held out like this for more than two weeks. During this period, the opponent did not even make a single successful landing in the city, and the expected hand-to-hand combat did not take place.
During this time, the shelling and shouting of killing on the island slowly became a part of the lives of the citizens of Elichar. They quickly went from being frightened and frightened to the habits they are now accustomed to even being willing to eat. Facts have indeed proved that human adaptability is really strong.
What's more, with the fierce battle of thunder and rain in the past ten days, in the minds of ordinary citizens of Elichar, the big incident caused by the bigwigs of the emergency committee has been developing in the direction of farce indefinitely.
By the tenth day, even Brother Alain, who had been salting fish, had recovered most of his injuries, and he was able to stand on the top of the city and do what he could. For example, the first time he stood on the tower, he unleashed a series of fireballs at the enemies rushing from the opposite sideβto put it bluntly, the fireball technique, the ultimate advanced version of the Flame Triple Starβand killed seventeen or eighteen enemies in one fell swoop. So the more than 100 people who rushed over tentatively on the other side immediately retreated back at a speed like flowing water.
Carol and the others showed a rather surprised expression, looking at Alain's eyes as if they were looking at a rabbit that suddenly grew dragon teeth and spewed flames, and the other party was horrified.
"What, why is this expression...... Do you have any misunderstanding about me? Anyway, I also graduated from the Central Academy of Magic, and I'm also the president of your old student council. Alain laughed dryly, helplessly. Besides, I'm also a disciple of the Great Magister.
ββ¦β¦ Well, I'm sorry, because this is the first time I've seen a senior do it. I don't know why.,I subconsciously made you into a powerless civil official.γ Carol also stiffly chuckled a few times, and finally squeezed out a little apology.
ββ¦β¦ This is indeed my first time in a few years. Fortunately, at least what I learned back then has not been completely forgotten. He thought for a while, and then said: "However, we can't take it lightly, although we don't know what happened, the enemy's warships did not participate in the battle, but even if the disciples of the Gate Valve Sect are sluggish, they will eventually react." After all, we are in the base camp of the enemy's heavy troops, and they will not let go of our nail. The real hard war is actually still to come. β
Lao Cheng's serious words are often very reasonable, and everyone nodded solemnly.
However, in the following days, the real tough battle did not come. Even in the last two days, the opposite side has simply stopped attacking. As a result, everyone in Dugu Castle finally had time to repair it.
"Oh, I thought we were going to make headlines for so long in front of ten times as many enemy troops. The last time we captured the Lich, we only made three editions of a supplement. As a result, the limelight was completely stolen by that guy again. Carol pouted, throwing the front-page news of "The Monster of the Rose Crest Invades Port Gloren" onto the table.
"You're on the third page of the main issue this time. Flipping through the back, yes, the article "Elicharre's Acne" is about you. However, this was all in the news from last week. Why are you only seeing it now? Eloville said.
ββ¦β¦ Well, I'm so busy trying to defend the city. How can I have time to read the newspaper! It's not that my senior has finally settled down in the past two days, and this is the chance to catch his breath. β
"Your senior shouldn't be in the army for the past two days." Miss Drow laughed, "I just walked around the city to the barracks and the town, and heard it from two drunken officers. β
"Well, not there? Was it fired? Am I not ruining Alfonso's career? Carol showed a happy smile, for a scumbag boy, the most comfortable thing for him is probably the dog head that can blow up the top students in society.
"Any other news?" Alain asked in an expectant tone.
"Well, even I couldn't touch the city, but I brought some interesting things back from the town." With a smile, the Drow girl took out another volume of newspaper, which was the Elichar Times, which was issued today. Looking at the front page news above, it was written in bold bold letters, "Shameless traitors attack the Hierren Sky Corridor!" The Fall of Fortress of Daroshul".
