Chapter 859: Military Airport
After Roddy actually took control of the "Rosacecrutic", the actual control area of Evetta had actually crossed the middle of the kingdom, and the "Temple" had become a tentacle that radiated and secretly competed with the royal power. However, Charles II is not a fool, and before spring arrives, the four lords around the "temple" have already made a watchful posture, and they have begun to compete and confront each other openly and secretly.
Everyone thought that Evta's army would go to the "Temple" first, but the location of the Dominic Fort was obviously very different from the "Temple" - it was located on the west side of the mountain range that ran in the middle of the Karen Kingdom, and if you wanted to go to the royal territory from here, you had to walk a hundred kilometers north to bypass the mountains.
So when he heard that the destination was "Fort Domik", Lořak himself felt strange.
"Why here, aren't we going to the temple?"
"What do you care about so much? What does Article 1 of the Military Regulations say?"
"Obey orders..."
The squad leader shrunk his neck, and then looked out the window at the unmelted snow on the side of the road: "If I remember correctly, it should take two weeks for an ordinary caravan to go to Fort Domik from a place like Elson. How far has it been?"
"It's marked on the map, the distance in a straight line is three hundred and twenty kilometers, can't you remember the content of the military map?"
Loshak is so familiar with these data that he has been looking at the map of the kingdom of Karen every day since he was in class every day, calculating the distance. Not to mention Fort Domik, now ask him about the distance between any two cities, he can calculate the approximate distance, and even the obstacles that may be encountered in the middle - the "reconnaissance plane" made by Sylvia and others can do this, but it is clear that Loshak and others do not know that the "plane" is involved in the mapping work.
"More than 300 kilometers, platoon commander, how long do you think we have to walk?"
"According to the speed of travel during the exercise, it is estimated that we will be able to arrive tonight. ”
"Really, if someone else walks for half a month, we can get there in one day?"
The squad leader's eyes widened, although he knew that the truck's speed far exceeded that of the carriage, but he still couldn't digest the impact of this "shrinking the ground into inches"... In this era, even cavalry units had to rely on their legs when they were on the road - in order to retain their strength in battle, war horses almost did not carry people on weekdays. In the Karen Kingdom, the army of the nobles has not yet said that they are "marching in a hurry", everyone walks lazily, excluding the camping time, and it is not bad for a team of 1,000 people to walk 30 kilometers a day.
Because of this contrast, the squad leader and the soldiers expressed difficulty in accepting the concept of "300 kilometers a day". They didn't study physics, and although they knew that trucks were going fast, they couldn't calculate speeds. Loshak had a clearer idea because he had been exposed to these things when he was learning to repair trucks in the "advanced class", but he asked him to explain it to the people in front of him, and it is estimated that no one could understand it.
"If you don't believe it, stay honestly, go down and arrange for the soldiers to take turns to close their eyes and sleep, and if they can't sleep, they have to sleep, and they must maintain their physical strength at all times and retain their combat capability, do you hear?"
"Yes, sir!"
After this order, the carriage gradually fell silent. The "road" leading to Fort Domik was built in the last two months, and because it was built so fast, the local caravans and people of Evta didn't even know that there was such a road, so there was no one else on the road from beginning to end, except for the occasional herd of deer or wild animals that passed through and were driven away by loudspeakers.
Although the speed is only 60 kilometers per hour, it is definitely "galloping" for this era.
The team set off in the morning, took an hour's break at noon to change the hedron energy and eat, and before the sun set, the whole team arrived at Fort Domique, which was located at the end of the road.
The whole journey took seven hours and covered a distance of 347 kilometers.
Because of the poor shock absorption, the soldiers of the engineering battalion felt numb in their buttocks and almost lost consciousness all the way, but when they got out of the car with force, they all felt a little dizzy... Not because of motion sickness, but because of disbelief.
"Platoon, platoon commander, is this really Fort Domik?? It can't be that a random fort was built outside Elson to deceive us, right?"
The signboard with the words "Fort Domik" was inserted on the side of the road, and the shabby fortress not far away actually appeared in front of them, but most of the soldiers still could not accept this fact.
"Where is all this nonsense?!Can't you see the Damia Mountains to the east?!Do you think this resembles the Gondola Mountains??Or do you can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south?"
Lořák's logic was clear, and his geographical knowledge and learned skills immediately made him sure that this was Domikburg, which made him feel indescribably excited. But as a soldier, he understood that everything was about the task, so he quickly began to look for signs of the group's assembly, and quickly rushed over with several squads under his command.
Unbeknownst to the soldiers of the engineering battalion, they had become the first soldiers of the "truck transport" and the first team to use "hedron energy" for military operations in this era.
Fort Domik is located in a remote location, the economy of the province is backward, and the fort itself is in disrepair. Although it is said to be a "fort", it is actually just a broken earth building that can accommodate hundreds of people, and the highest part of the city wall is only five meters. From a distance, it is not much different from a broken rock, if it was three months ago, this is definitely a deserted and abandoned place. But ever since the Arcane golems who built the road stretched all the way from Elson City, the entire area has changed dramatically.
The weedy clearing was flattened by the Arcane golems, and paths to different areas were mapped out on top of it. Loshak now knew a lot of words, so he could see the signs on these roads that wrote the functions of their respective areas - "Truck Parking Area", "First Barracks", "Second Barracks", "Supplies Stop Zone 1", "Supplies Stay Zone 2", "Training Ground", "Canteen", "Bathhouse", "Hospital", and so on. Many of these areas are still empty, but they are filled with a variety of wood.
Loshak knew that the engineering battalion would probably have to devote itself to this kind of construction - after all, they were carpenters and bricklayers who were best at this kind of work before. And now, this area should be a "rear position" of the entire battlefield, mainly for the transfer of military supplies and the treatment of wounded soldiers.
"Loshak, take your people and report to the First Barracks within a quarter of an hour!"
When he heard the company commander's order, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes! Sir!"
Turning his head, Loshak meticulously executed the order, and kicked several squad leaders whose faces were pale because of the bumps: "Be quick! I don't think there will be any tasks tonight, and if you want to rest, I'll talk about it at night!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers were very convinced by the platoon commander and quickly got up to form a team, but when they shouted the slogan of "one-two-one" and ran along the road to the "first barracks", the dense crackling sound made everyone involuntarily turn their heads...
On the other side of the field of vision, to the north of Fort Domik, all kinds of trees that were originally dense were uprooted by invisible forces, and thousands of tree trunks floated in the air, and then they were transferred to the side by invisible magic and stacked on the land. The clearing, which was two or three square kilometers in size, soon lined up with huge arcane golems and repeated the steps of building the road—the soft ground was tamped, flattened, and reinforced, and became a huge, leveled square at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Loshak's soldiers had already arrived at the camp, and since there was no order from their superiors, they were standing here. So over the next ten minutes, they witnessed a similar scene repeated five or six times, and the area that had belonged to the forest was cleared of a huge square area one kilometer wide and two kilometers long...
This miracle that was unfolding in everyone made the soldiers tremble and not know how to deal with it. If it weren't for the discipline they have cultivated over the past few months, it is estimated that they would have fled into the distance in fright.
At this time, all the people of the engineering battalion had been assembled, and the more than 400 soldiers looked at the newly dug open space in a daze, and the scene of tens of thousands of trees piled on one side was really shocking, and at this time they all realized that all this was done by the magician who was standing not far away and wearing a trench coat.
The military order was like a mountain, no one dared to whisper, and the company commander was waiting here in a straight military uniform with a serious face. It wasn't long before all the soldiers saw the figure in the heels striding towards the group.
The beautiful appearance made this group of young men hold their breath, but the powerful momentum and the magic fluctuations like essence in their gestures did not give them the courage to look up.
"The drawings for the formation of the military airfield are here, and if there is any problem, report it to Elson City at any time. ”
"Yes, sir!"
The commander of the engineering battalion was selected from the Elson barracks. With a high level of knowledge and a keen sense of military smell, after listening to the words of the dragon clan in front of him, he stood up and saluted and said loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”
Kardashian nodded, turned around and left, took two steps and turned into a dragon, spreading its wings to cover the sky, and quickly disappeared into the sky after flapping its wings...
The dragon didn't abandon Evta!
All the engineers repeated this thought in their hearts, and they looked at the sky in the distance, and their hearts suddenly filled with pride - but the platoon commander Loshak, who was standing at the head of the team, pondered another question: why build a military airfield here?
What flies back and forth over Elson, is it going to stop here?
But the answers to these questions are destined to be revealed only after the start of the war. Loshak couldn't help but look at the rolling Damia Mountains in the east - the enemy was on the other side of the mountain, but who and how many there were, Loshak had no idea.
But he knew he didn't need to know these things.
When the war began, everyone became parts of a huge machine, and the only thing he, and all the soldiers of the engineering battalion, had to do was to carry out the orders and tasks given by their superiors perfectly.
