Section 453 Reinforcements
In the last moments of being wrapped in flesh and blood, Hu Yongxian suddenly had a glimmer of realizationββββ he finally found the weakness of this monster.
Perhaps because he was a part of "Six", or perhaps it was the wonderful mental connection between the fusion of cells, Hu Yong felt that he had seen through everything, that is, every corner of "Six" a second before his experience.
He opened his mouth to scream, forcibly maintaining the last of his personal consciousness to transmit a message to the fleeing soldiers around him, but a large amount of liquid poured in, and the muscles in his head were completely melted in a matter of seconds.
The feeling of losing an eye was so terrible that even the bones began to break down. Yet the brain consciousness was always there, lasting at least five minutes, if not longer.
Hu Yong first felt that the giant "Six" needed his own brain.
He quickly established this as the truth.
This is a killing machine without any intelligence and strong strength. All of its wisdom comes from its devoured targets, the barbarian soldiers who had been killed in battle. It produces exclusive thinking through the absorption of the human brain, and organizes the broken memory pictures to form logic. Whether it is the enormity of the single body aggregation or the attack method of hitting the wall with the body, it is the effect of devouring and absorbing the brain of the deceased.
I will be your food, but I will never be your mind appendage, and I will never let my brain work for you!
Hu Yong first rushed wildly into the body of the giant "Six", and with the last thought guidance, he pulled the newly formed muscle fibers from the vicinity, so that they tightly bound his brain fragments like ropes, and further fragmented them by tearing and other methods, only in this way can the memory be fragmented, and the possibility of being absorbed and used by the "Six" body is also minimized.
The people I love and who I am willing to give my life to protect, this is the last thing I can do for you.
β¦β¦
The position of the coalition forces of the kingdom.
As Flamer stared at the telescope, his breathing began to become rapid, and bursts of white mist erupted from his mouth and nose, rapidly lowering the temperature in the cold air and disappearing.
"Awesome! They climbed up, they all went up! The Viking Duke put down the mirror barrel in his hand, excitedly clenched his right fist and waved it vigorously in the air: "It's been hundreds of years, and it's the first time we've broken through the Lock Dragon Pass!" β
He jumped like a child, screaming, and laughing heartily.
It's an epic victory!
Whites have been working hard for hundreds of years for this!
Countless people, generation after generation, from kings to nobles, spent large sums of money, used countless materials and wealth, and killed millions of people in battles, and finally saw the light of day.
Once the lock dragon pass is broken, there is no obstacle that can resist the advance of the kingdom's coalition forces. Although I am not familiar with the situation on the other side of the mountain, the generation difference in weapons is so obvious. Even if the northern giants had the upper hand in terms of physique, even if their armor was thick and strong, they could not withstand the epoch-making muskets and cannons.
Moreover, the Church and the coalition forces have developed large-caliber heavy muskets. This weapon is heavy and inconvenient to carry, but it is very powerful. The previous record of sniping the Giant Scout is enough to prove its excellent quality. As long as used correctly, tactical squads of two or three can make the most of the Kingdom Alliance's numerical superiority.
Calis also put down the telescope in his hand, he was in a similar mood to Flamal at the moment, only not so excited, at best excited, mixed with shock and horror.
Whether it was the Pope, the priest Joseph, or Bishop Somson, they were all full of confidence in the "sixth", and even before the battle, they were very sure that the battle would be won. This means that the Holy See has an extremely detailed and comprehensive understanding of the "sixth".
The coalition forces of the Five Kingdoms have not been able to break through this pass for hundreds of years. In addition to the rugged terrain, it is more important that the northern giants have a guardian spirit.
The two-headed "Six" achieved its goal, and the most worrying metal monster never appeared.
This means that the Holy See has more and more detail about the information from all sides than the kingdoms.
The Pope also has a lot of hole cards in his hand, such as the "four" that makes up the Holy Cult.
There is such a huge space under Gabriel City, are the only secrets hidden in it "Four" and "Six"?
Calis didn't dare to continue thinking along the lines.
That's horrible.
It's better to deal with the matter in front of you first.
He took a deep breath, trying to make his smile look heavy with surprise but not over-the-top. Turning to Bishop Somson, he bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, can we send troops now?" β
"Wait!" Bishop Somson smiled, and he was very pleased with Calis's attitude: "You must be patient enough to send scouts to Lock Dragon Pass at least in the evening to make sure that you keep enough distance from Locking Dragon. β
Calis asked tentatively, "You mean that Number Six will turn around and attack us?" β
Bishop Somson looked at Calis. For some reason, during the five seconds of silent staring, the Duke suddenly had a strange feelingββββ the bishop's gaze was a little evasive, and he seemed reluctant to answer his own question on such an occasion, perhaps because of Flamar's presence.
"Six is not the same now as it used to be."
After a brief moment of silence, Bishop Somson shifted his shoulders, his broad black leather robe making him look more burly: "They used to be just two, but now...... Hehe, you've all seen it, they've changed a lot, and they're completely different from what they used to be. β
Calis asked in a low voice, "They're getting smarter than before?" β
The Bishop finally nodded, "They're evolving, they need more flesh and blood than before, and they're hungry more easily. β
Flamar and Calis gasped.
Even the arrogant Viking Duke heard a warning.
After a long time, Calis calmed down from the shock and repeated the last words of the bishop's words: "...... Hunger? β
Somson remained silent and said coldly: "Again, don't worry, stay away from them as much as possible." I'm not sure if they'll obey orders as much as they used to, but as long as they keep their current distance, they'll keep heading north. This, in turn, means that we are safe. β
Flamar felt his lips tremble slightly. He pinched the mouth of the tiger in his left hand with his right hand, forcing himself to calm down from the shocking news stimulus: "So that's why we don't want to open fire?" β
Somsen didn't like Flamal before, and still is. He shrugged his shoulders, his words full of sarcasm and malice: "If you and your soldiers are not afraid of death, you can try." β
Calis hurriedly interjected to ease the atmosphere: "Lord Bishop, Vlamar has absolutely no intention of contradicting you...... Well, I'll send scouts right now. If all goes well, we can move the camp to the north of Suolong Pass tonight. β
Somson was pleased with Calis's attitude, and he smiled, "We have won the first battle, and this is also the victory that the Holy Lord has been waiting for for a long time. Just do as you think, and I'll write to His Holiness the Pope now and tell him what is happening here. Ladies and gentlemen, I suggest that you treat the soldiers well, with plenty of wine and delicious white bread and sausages. β
Looking at the bishop's distant back, until it became blurred, Flamal reached out and pulled Calis's clothes and lowered his voice: "Do you believe what he said?" β
Calis shook his head, this action did not mean denial, but his voice was a little hoarse: "He has no reason to deceive us. On the issue of the giants of the north, we stand on the same side as the Holy See. β
"You've probably been brainwashed." The Viking Duke sneered and sneered: "The Pope is a greedy fellow, he wants a lot of things. β
Calis turned around and looked at the ruined wall standing in the distance, his eyes were a little complicated, but also with a hint of relief: "Anyway, we have won. The northern continent is a whole new land where all dreams, all hopes, and greed of any kind. β
β¦β¦
Leon territory, about fifty kilometers north of Roaring City.
Winter has come to an end, the sun is rising over the horizon, and the sky is dyed a pale silver. This means that the clouds are thin and there will be no rain or snowfall.
An army appeared at the end of the road.
They wear jet-black armor that is significantly different from traditional armor. Emphasis is placed on vital areas such as the chest and abdomen, while the knees and elbows are covered with soft leather. The cascading fish-scale shoulder pads allow for easy movement and are easy to remove, which drastically reduces the weight of the armor and makes it more comfortable for the wearer, minimizing the burden of long marches.
This is the hinterland of the lion tribe, with checkpoints every twenty kilometers. As many as tens of thousands of troops trotted through the intersection, and the fighting spirit emanating from the soldiers was so strong that the lion guards who were oppressing the sentry post did not dare to come out, and could only watch and watch in silence.
The Lion King's order has been delivered to all outposts and passes in the territoryββββ and the Lion and Dragons have temporarily ceased war, lifted all prohibitions, and jointly dealt with the enemy from the south of the continent.
Tianhao personally led the Praetorian Guard to the south.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, it was impossible to assemble all the forbidden troops in a short time, so he only brought two war regiments, plus most of the first legion, a total of 30,000 people.
Follow-up troops are being assembled. From Pointe-Noire to Rock City to the newly captured Flying Eagle City, there's breathless tension everywhere.
Large quantities of supplies were brought from the rear, mainly weapons and ammunition.
Military factories on Jeju Island are working overtime to produce all kinds of munitions needed at full capacity. 6,000 newly trained mechanics were transferred to the island, and as many as 11 new ammunition factories and firearms factories were built. Laborers are digging for sulfur with unprecedented frenzied vigor to ensure a sufficient supply of raw materials.
"To fight a war is to fight logistics", Tianhao has a very deep understanding of this. Especially bullets and shells, in any case, to meet the front-line attrition.
Among the first vanguard troops to the south, there were more than 5,000 cavalry. There was no need to discuss the issue of dealing with the whites, Tiger King Yao first took the initiative to send 3,000 war horses, and promised to send 20,000 horses to Rock City in the next two months.
All of them are majestic horses, not ordinary pack horses.
Hu Yao was a stingy person, and he couldn't have been so generous in normal times.
Tianhao has been training lancers. In the age of a long-dead civilization, this is a powerful class. Before the advent of tanks and armored vehicles, cavalry was often the key to winning or losing battles.
The Lion King promises that all daily supplies for the dragon army during the war will be taken care of by the Leo Clan. It's a bit louder, but at least on the surface, you can't find fault with it. Especially after the vanguard left Rock City and entered the territory of the lion clan, the walled cities along the way took out grain to make bread and rice balls, which greatly reduced Tianhao's logistical pressure.
The soldiers complained about this, and everyone thought that the rations provided by the lions were really not good. The taste is rough, mainly because the taste is average, and it can even be said to be bad.
The cavalry of the brigade surrounded Tianhao and followed the main force of infantry to the south. Behind them were the baggage forces of up to twenty thousand reservists. This expedition mobilized all the pack horses in Rock City, and the speed of material transportation was also accelerated, and there was no distance between the rear team and the front team, forming a close whole.
Tianhao brought only fifty light guns, which were disassembled and transported in a spare parts state. In his opinion, these weapons were sufficient to sustain a medium-intensity battle with a deterrent effect. One hundred and five-mm guns were considered large-caliber heavy artillery to whites in the south, and "medium tubes" to barbarians. This conceptual contrast between physique and height is so strong that, once fully released in the form of an explosion, it is enough to have a shocking effect.
All the leonins were shocked and terrified by this dragon army passing through their territory.
All of their soldiers were armed with muskets, indicating that "the dragons had found brimstone and could make gunpowder".
They had so many horses, and the warriors on the horses were not traditional "lancers", but "musketeers" who could shoot while riding.
They were unusually well protected from their baggage, and the surface of the cart was covered with a thick tarp. This thing is extravagant, it has to be soaked in a lot of grease, then dried, and repeated many times before it can be used. Regardless of the manufacturing cost or technology, it is determined that it belongs to luxury.
The military situation is urgent, and Tianhao ordered that in addition to resting normally, he should never delay time along the way, which also eliminated the opportunity for the lion people to take the opportunity to snoop.
He knew very well that the lion king must have ulterior motives.
However, the time period that needs to be noted will not be now, but after the Lock Dragon Pass crisis is resolved and the whites are driven out.
Every king needs fame.
Tianhao only hoped that the situation at Suolong Pass would not deteriorate further, and that he would be able to hold out until he led the reinforcements to arrive.
