Yakov and the others were not surprised by the failure of the peace talks, but under the planning of Jabela, the four half-dragon generals still gathered their respective troops to make the matter public, and grieved and rebuked the Kitlanders for being ungrateful, because the "Dragon's Eye" had always regarded themselves as the liberators of the Kitlanders, believing that they had rescued this lowly people from the Orc Kingdom from the whip of the Orc Kingdom, and the Kitlanders not only refused to recognize the dragon-blooded nobles as their new masters, but also dared to collude with the southern untouchables to commit rebellion. Rejecting the peace initiative of the dragon-blooded nobles is a heinous crime!

This distorted statement of pretentiousness may sound ridiculous to Tamara, but the middle and lower classes of the "Dragon's Eye" prefer to listen to it, and they are so angry that Yakov and others are so angry that they vow to teach the untouchables a hard lesson.

Tamara also noted that Andrea had summoned her supporters to give an explanation of the current situation, and while it did not deliberately stir up militant sentiments, it also showed that war was inevitable and that everyone had to prove their faith in a test of blood and fire.

Religious fanaticism combined with the racial tensions that have accumulated over the years has plunged the entire Dragon City area into an atmosphere of tension. Hiding behind the fortifications and waiting for the enemy to attack was not in line with the "Dragon's Eye" usual strong style, but the five generals all ordered their respective troops to be strictly restrained, and did not indulge the surging troops to take the initiative to attack, they knew the enemy's horror better than those subordinates who did not know the height of the sky, and had already reached a consensus to hold the defensive line.

The legendary Blood Spirit Master Sai Odosius is a very unreliable bodyguard, who left his eldest lady on the boat on the first day of his arrival in the plateau, and ran alone to enjoy the mountains and rivers with his beloved sketchpad on his back, as if his oil painting creation was more urgent than the imminent war. It was only when Tamara was urged to do so that he impatiently sent back a text message claiming that he was scouting the enemy while looking for a secluded view, and that the traveling painter was just a disguise for him to hide his true purpose...... However, considering that in his reply he talked about Lucia's majestic scenery and did not say a word about the so-called hostility, Tamara had to suspect that he was pretending to be a self-servant and only interested in his own amusement. For this kind of irresponsible fellow, even from the standpoint of her own people, she has to say a fair thing: no wonder the Parnia people refused to support you as a lord in the first place, they really didn't think wrong!

The situation of the combined forces of Kitland and Kolas on the opposite side also made Tamara feel at ease. These days, she has not left "Tartarus", refusing all entertainment, not wanting to read books and play the piano, almost from morning to night, she has been standing next to the ship's crystal ball to closely observe the movements of the Kitland Fortress, and she will alert Andrea at the slightest disturbance, as a battlefield observer from a third party, she seems more nervous than Andrea as a party.

In the early morning of 15 July, Tamara discovered a new situation: the Kolas Corps sent a team of engineers dressed in blue overalls to dig four parallel trenches along the fort complex to the front line, bulldoze them if they were obstructed by trees or hills, and dig the trenches straight in front of the "Dragon's Point Heights" - just outside the range of the highland batteries. At the same time, the Kitlanders drove hordes of Highlanders to bring in a large number of building materials such as stakes and gravel, and laid stakes in the trenches to lay the foundation and lay gravel. The coalition's engineering corps also included many robed figures who looked like mages or warlocks, armed with a variety of strange instruments to measure geographic data.

The more Tamara looked, the more she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent a letter to Andrea, asking her to come and meet her immediately. When Andrea arrived, the work on the opposite Kitlander position took on a new trick - cutting wood into rectangles, almost exactly the same length and thickness, and fixing them on the gravel.

"What are they doing here?" Tamara was scratching like a cat's paw, curious.

Andrea glanced at the projection of the crystal ball and couldn't help frowning: "It's like laying railroad tracks." ”

"Railroad ......," Tamara looked confused, "When will the Kitland area be opened?" ”

"If you're talking about the kind of new trains powered by the Magic Crystal steam engine, there is no such thing on the plateau, but the steel factories of the Kitlanders can make carriages, and they have been laying improvised railroad tracks in various mining areas and forest farms since many years ago, and using Highland Lothmon instead of steam locomotives to drag the carriages in series, which can greatly increase the carrying capacity of large quantities of ore, timber and grain, we' Dragon's Eye has considered emulating this mode of transport, but relations are strained by the lack of enough craftsmen and the refusal of the unruly Kitlanders to be used by us. ”

Andrea didn't tell the whole truth. In fact, the Kitlanders don't mind building a railroad for the "Dragon's Eye", the key is that the remuneration is not negotiable, the "Dragon's Eye" only wants to call the Kitlanders as slaves, and it is very merciful to manage the food, where is there any reason to pay wages? Andrea disagrees with this, and proposes to pay Kitlanders a reasonable salary, but unfortunately she has no supporters at the top of the "Dragon's Eye", and the matter is over.

"What was the purpose of the Kitlanders to bring the railroad to the front?" Tamara asked.

"Presumably to transport military supplies......," Andrea was not sure, "or to launch some kind of special offensive with the help of the railroad." ”

"If it's really preparing for war, you have to be careful." Tamara solemnly reminded, "If I were you, no matter what the other party was planning to do with the railway, try to destroy it first!" ”

Andrea narrowed her phoenix eyes carefully observed the crystal ball projection map, silently calculated the scale on the battlefield, and spoke after a long time: "The other party has long been prepared, the end point of the railway is just outside the range of our highland battery, and the artillery cannot directly attack, if you want to destroy the railway, you can only send ground troops or air weapons." ”

"The ground forces must first break through the outer fortress group in order to get close to the railway, which will cost great sacrifices, and the dispatch of the air force is a better choice." Tamara cautiously advised.

Andrea agreed with her, but could only smile bitterly: "I don't have to say anything about this matter, there are many factions within the 'Dragon's Eye', for example, the air force is all in the hands of Blue Dragon General Oscar, the Kitlanders have built a lot of anti-air batteries on the position, and there is a powerful heroic army hidden deep under the Heroic Tower ready to fight at any time, Oscar is most likely unwilling to risk destroying the railway that seems to have little strategic value." ”
