Chapter 256: The Shadows in Action
The sound of trumpets sounded in the towers of Yanbei City, and the melodious sound of trumpets fluttered in the sky. And the army of the Yanbei Kingdom was arranged in a long snake-like formation, winding out of the force field castle that seemed to be protected by a large bubble, and the flag representing the king of Yanbei fluttered high.
"Look, our king's army. ”
The civilians in the wasteland outside Yanbei City saw the army coming out of the castle and said proudly to each other, and the children in the city-state laughed and followed the army on the grass.
In the eyes of innocent children, beautiful aristocratic lords, tall mecha cavalry, and mighty infantry are simply heroes in their minds. The civilians looked at the familiar faces, and some of the women couldn't help but turn around and wipe their eyes, they didn't know how many others would come back alive.
"Hey, what's going on?" asked a traveling merchant who was selling skins and some animal bones in the town.
"Oh, don't you know, at the head of the line is the king of Yanbei, and almost all the troops in the kingdom have been dispatched, so there must be a big war breaking out. ”
The townsfolk said to him as they picked up the goods from the traveling merchant's cart.
"War, the Dragonborn God is above, who is this going to fight with, I don't want the way to Dragon City to be blocked by war. The traveling merchant lamented that the merchant feared nothing more than war, which would cut off traffic, and that the rebels would plunder the caravans and merchants.
"Haha, don't worry, Yanbei and Dragon City haven't had friction for several years, they are going to trouble the orcs of the Iron Blood Empire. A woman with a large breasted face covered in pink greased said to the traveling merchant with a small piece of snow rabbit skin.
"Oh, how do you know, it's not something that the average person can know. ”
"Hmph, my brother-in-law is the guard of Yanbei City. While I was bringing him breakfast, I heard the general shouting to the soldiers to slaughter the orcs, so it couldn't have been anywhere else. ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The big-breasted village woman twisted her waist and swung her hips, and said proudly. Everyone else was dismissive, and it turned out that her husband, who was originally a mechanic, was eaten by a hungry beast in the autumn when he went to the Black Forest on a company mission. She became a widow, but she hooked up with the uncle who was a guard in the castle.
"Ah, that's good, business is really hard right now. There was a casual look in the traveling merchant's eyes, but he quickly disguised himself in the bargaining with the civilians.
The goods that the merchant took were rarely seen in Yanbei, and unlike the caravans in the bazaar, which only required star coins, he accepted scrap steel, electrical appliances, etc. in the form of barter, so the traveling merchant was very popular with the townspeople after several round-trips, and most people knew that he was a dragonborn.
"Is there any snow rabbit skin?" said the women, who were disappointed to see that the beautiful snow rabbit skin was gone, and asked the traveling merchant.
"I'm sorry, I only got so much this time, I'll bring more next time. The traveling merchant smiled and took the scrap metal, electrical appliances, etc., that the women had exchanged, and stuffed them into his skin.
Then he jumped into the wagon pulled by the swollen ox, waved his whip, and left the little market town with a smile, and a flock of chickens flew aside with their wings and clucking.
When the merchant drove the ox-cart to the dense forest far from the village, he looked around carefully, and when he saw that there was no one, he took out a small ball from the cart box.
"Goo, click. The little circle rolled on the ground, and it turned into a metal bird, the gray metal bird's round eyes staring at the traveling merchant, its pointed beak moving from time to time.
"I'm Shadow Six, report now. The army of the Yanbei Kingdom was dispatched, about 300,000 people, and the target was directly aimed at the Canglang City of the Iron-blooded Empire, hoping to prepare as soon as possible, and it was estimated that the enemy's army would arrive within five days. ”
The Traveling Merchant succinctly spoke to the little metal bird, and the metal bird's eyes changed from red to green, indicating that the reception was complete.
Then, the metal bird spreads its wings, "whoosks", and disappears into the dark air. It turned out that this traveling merchant was a member of Yuan Ying's shadows, responsible for investigating the intelligence of the Yanbei Kingdom.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The magazines of Gauss rifles are loaded, the alloy swords are sharpened, and the individual mechs are placed in a special solution, washed clean, and the laser cannons and machine guns are ready.
The baggage soldiers and slaves installed heavy alloy bulletproof walls and laser cannons on the city walls, the newly made electromagnetic machine guns were installed on the arrow towers, and the three dragon roar cannons were placed inside the city walls.
The wide open space in front of the city is covered with bio-induced electromagnetic mines.
The strategic points are laid out in some simple formations, and on the surface it is not at all obvious that there is any difference from the surrounding environment.
Zhan Ao stood on the city wall and looked out of the castle, feeling a little excited, this time he was in charge of the defense of the city independently, he clenched his fists and stared at the place where the enemy might appear.
There is a distance of more than 500 kilometers between the Yanbei Kingdom and Canglang City, and with the marching speed of the Yanbei army, it can be reached in 5 days.
"Come on, Dragonborn, come on, King Yanbei, Lao Tzu is waiting for you here!"
Zhan Ao's plan is to use his own strong castle to ensure his strategic security, and then gradually expand his power, and if he is lucky, in the case of the defeat of the dragonborns, he will take the opportunity to attack the gathering place of the Yanbei people.
Although this is a stupid way to do it step by step, but with the manpower and material resources in the hands of Zhan Ao, there is no way to do it, and the Dragonborn have no idea of peace.
When the orcs had just gained a foothold in Canglang City (formerly the Blood Shadow City), the king of Yanbei gathered more than 300,000 troops and advanced towards Canglang City of the Iron and Blood Empire.
Five days later, the flags of many Yanbei nobles fluttered outside Canglang City, most of them were simple and monotonous red and white colors, or very ancient looking like graffiti-like coats of arms, some were crossed axes, some were swords among thorns, and some were some kind of animals.
These families were formed by some local forces after the end of the world. Some of the lineages can even be traced back to before the Earth Age of the Dragon Empire, and the ancient lineage makes the nobles of Yanbei full of pride, and in their opinion, these orcs who claim to be believers in the god of war are both arrogant and rude.
"This is the orc's castle?"
Behind Yan Tianlan led thirty people wearing individual armor, holding swords and alloy shields, and wearing helmets made of artificial biochemical materials, all the helmets were closed, and the appearance was a bit like a metal version of Spider-Man, this is the elite heavy warrior of the king of Yanbei, and he is his loyal forbidden army guard on weekdays.
