Chapter 1102: Pillar of Smoke
At the same moment, three teams of airborne troops had landed in three towns on the south bank of the Ram River.
These three towns were chosen because they were the three important "lifebloods" in the desert to supply Eudora's army. If a large army is cut off from supplies while marching and fighting, it will only end up "defeating itself without a fight".
Any commander will pay attention to protecting his rear supply points, but although Eudora has seen the "bombing", she does not know the existence of the "Airborne Forces", and under such information asymmetry, she does not realize that the enemy will have the ability to "descend from the sky".
Therefore, the soldiers in the three towns of Carlin, Birch and Moss did not understand what was happening when they saw the airborne troops slowly falling from the sky, and even the civilians shouted to come out and watch, pointing at the soldiers with hedron weapons.
Masorela's feet touched the ground, unfastened her parachute, copied out the "hedron gun" she was carrying, and quickly rushed towards the granary in the town with a team of 100 people behind her.
Although the south of the Lam River is mostly desert area, the existence of the river makes the nearby land suitable for cultivation, which is similar to the "Hetao area" in China on Earth. This was also the advantage that Eudora's army was able to transport food long distances - but the last three towns had long been trade-oriented, not fortified, and therefore unprotected by walls.
The town of Carlin to the west and Moss to the east had a logistics force of 2,000 men for transport and protection, while the town of Birch was the largest and most populous in the south, with a garrison of 3,000 men.
Masorela's troops fell on the town of Birch, which had the largest number of defenders, at this time - but although it was called 3,000 defenders, in fact, because of the large area of the town, these people themselves were scattered, and more than half of them were logistics soldiers responsible for carrying food, and their combat effectiveness was basically no different from ordinary people.
The news of the defeat of Eudora in front has not yet arrived, and with the existence of the natural danger of the Ram River, no one would have thought that they would be attacked by the enemy here, so these "logistics troops" from various countries are unusually slack on weekdays, chatting and fart, and have no vigilance.
When Masorela's team of 100 men rushed to the granary in a murderous manner, the defenders, who had just realized that something was wrong, did not even have time to put on their armor, and ran out with knives in their hands, shouting, "Ring the alarm! Damn, archery!"
Only three of the defenders who had only pulled up a dozen or so defensive lines had bows in their hands, and before they could aim and shoot, Masora and the others raised the "spar guns" in their hands - after a series of lights and shots, this group of people was pierced on the spot along with their companions in the rear, and fell in a pool of blood...
"Block the streets left and right and keep moving!"
"Yes!"
The Airborne Forces don't have to worry about the problem of the "Forbidden Demon Domain" here, so the hedron weapon has finally come into play. The two teams of airborne troops lined up with spar guns to block the street, while Masorela, who continued to charge, locked onto the heavily guarded granary area in front of him - he threw a "spar grenade" from a distance, and before dozens of defenders could react, they were directly swept away by the impact comparable to the "Fire Explosion Technique", and two houses within 20 meters nearby also collapsed...
In the past, it was difficult for the 100-man troops to play a decisive role in the cold weapon war, but when they used the high-power "hot weapon", they immediately became the dagger that pierced the enemy's soft underbelly in the war.
This is a veritable "special forces".
The alarmed defenders were rapidly gathering, but the scattered rushing teams were all repulsed by the airborne troops blocking the street corner - the generation difference in weapons made these soldiers who had no combat effectiveness even have a chance to shoot arrows, let alone hand-to-hand combat.
According to the map previously discovered by the reconnaissance plane, Masora and the others accurately rushed into the granary area along the street: it was full of mountains of grain, and because of the continuous transportation, more than half of it was moved out of the originally thick stone house, waiting to be pulled to the front line at any time.
In front of him, the stored grain was enough for an army of 10,000 people to eat for two or three months, Masora looked left and right, and immediately waved his hand: "Place the magic circle, quickly!"
Four barbarian soldiers with huge backpacks rushed into the granary, waved their hands over the dazed porters, scattered the circles they had brought, and then inserted the hedrons and quickly withdrew.
A minute later, the activated magic circle continued to spray flames to all sides, and it didn't take long for the piles of grain to be ignited, and thick black smoke billowed up, after Masora and the others confirmed that the fire could not be extinguished, they calmly formed a team and left from the predetermined retreat route - along the way, there were not even a few soldiers who dared to stop them, because the "hedron grenade" thrown out before had killed the three captains and the soldiers who followed, in the face of this kind of enemy, where would they go up to die one after another when they had no will to fight?
Instead of simply leaving the town, Masorera and the others rushed to the outskirts of the town where the caravans were for camels and horses, dragging two or three of each, collecting as much food as they could, and then quickly heading west.
Walking out of Birch, they saw black smoke rising from the town of Carlin, forty kilometers to the west, and it wasn't long before a black plume of smoke appeared on the eastern horizon.
Three towns that provided logistical support for Eudora's army were set on fire by the airborne troops of the Karen Kingdom.
The next day, in the study, Roddy was writing a reply letter - he had a letter from Kardashian in his hand, which told the results of the research on "guided missiles", but what Roddy valued more was the "heavy factory" that had been built next to the airport outside Hollier.
The previous "transport plane" was produced by a group of mages working overtime, although the manufacturing speed was amazing, but everyone knew that mages were not used as workers, and if you wanted to increase production, it was best to have a complete set of production lines that could be separated from the mage - or the power of the "high-level mage" - to process and manufacture, otherwise the "transport plane" would always be a luxury.
But war requires not luxuries.
On Earth, the assembly line work invented by the American "Ford" was called "putting wheels on the world" at that time. Although it is impossible to build an airplane from start to finish like a car, it is necessary to build a production line from certain parts to improve efficiency: because each production line can be built not only to make parts for airplanes, but also for gun wagons and even trains in large quantities.
On top of that, Kardashian and several "Honorary Elders" have perfected the second-generation model of the steam engine, while also striving to make the production process "unteachable", which can now be operated with only a magic circle and a trained magic apprentice. Therefore, once the production line is established, it will not only drive the military industry, but also the entire civilian heavy industry, which can bring a huge revolution to the Karen Kingdom.
