Chapter 883: Phantom
Because of this achievement, Loshak is very respectful of the rules for the construction of the camp and strictly follows all the rules. Under his leadership, three squads of soldiers quickly divided the garrison areas of each company in the open space outside the town with special tools and white lime powder.
The entire engineering company was very skilled in such a thing, and in less than an hour, more than 200 people carved out a regular area in the open space, and then began to plant flags with different company numbers in designated positions.
After everything was done, the soldiers of the engineering company began to ponder the task of repairing the bridge. At this time, the road puppet had compacted the road from the vacated area in the center of the barracks and repaired the road directly to the river.
"Platoon commander, if we repair the bridge, when will we have to transport those things?"
"I don't know, wait for the company commander to arrange it. ”
Loshak straightened his uniform and turned his head to look behind him - in the billowing smoke and dust, the truck-pulled troops carried the soldiers directly out of the city of Donkel, and it took only two hours to reach the Bordeaux River along the paved road. The soldiers who got off the bus began to form a team, and then carried the materials for building the barracks, and ran to the area drawn by the engineering company in advance to set up the barracks.
The road was two-way, and the truck that dropped off the soldiers immediately turned around and went back, and so on until noon. By three o'clock in the afternoon, more than 5,000 soldiers had completely set up the camp.
After the arrival of 5,000 soldiers, the trucks were no longer carrying people, but wood cut in advance from the previous supply depot with logging puppets. Sixty trains of tree trunks were piled up on the side of the riverbank, but Loshak and the others never started building bridges because the river was so fast, and the bridges they wanted to build had to be of the highest standard for the "road puppets" to pass.
It's not that the engineering company can't be built, and the main training content of them since their establishment is to build bridges and pave roads, but the current problem is that if they want to build such a large bridge quickly, they must have a special "lifting array" to assist. And this set of magic circles has been stored in Fort Domik before departure, and has not been transported all the way.
Loshak had been ordered to stand by the river beach, so he, like the two hundred or so soldiers beside him, had been staring at the rough Bordeaux River for an hour.
They did not know what to do next, except that they were ordered to paint a huge cross in lime powder on the ground.
It didn't take long for a faint noise to come from the sky, and gradually, everyone heard the roar of the eight propellers of the "Albatross". The transport plane slashed over the camp at low altitude, and a huge wooden box was dropped directly down from the rear of the tail cabin - the soldiers of the engineering company, who had never seen "airdrop materials", were scared enough, they thought that this thing would hit their heads, and then found that two other figures jumped down with the supplies, and changed the direction of the materials in the air.
With the help of the "Floating Circle" and these two people, the huge wooden box with a length and width of more than five meters landed precisely in the center of the cross.
After the slight impact of "Bang", two mages wearing short robes quickly ran to the side of the team and saluted the commander of the engineering company: "Members of Elson's Magic Research Department, mid-level magician Brador, and low-level magician Gray, have been ordered to assist the engineering company in building bridges!
Loshak and the others were in an uproar... After the enemy realized the power of "airborne", they, the soldiers of Evta, could be regarded as truly feeling the horror of this mobility.
The addition of the two mages allowed the originally time-consuming and labor-intensive work to be completed quickly, unpacking, assembling, and debugging the circle - after everything was ready, the processed wooden piles began to be manipulated by the circle and inserted into the water, and a large bridge ten meters wide gradually crossed the Bordeaux River with the efforts of the engineering company...
Within a day, a regular camp of more than a square kilometer had been established in the open space next to the town of Lannis. The tents are aligned horizontally and vertically, as if they had been measured with calipers. After the sun began to set, the patrol was out of control and supervision, and the other soldiers returned to the camp to rest and rest. In the huge barracks, there was no noise at all, because even when they were talking in the tent, the soldiers kept their voices down according to the regulations.
The engineering company and the two mages never rested, and the Brado mages who assisted in the operation of the circle worked until dark and did not feel tired. Because he himself was still in the excitement of the airborne.
After all, not everyone can cross the kingdom in a day, and his truck ride from Elson to Fort Domic, and then a plane directly across the mountains to Lannistown, all of this still feels like a dream to him. Although he was only a scientific researcher, he knew very well that the construction of hundreds of such planes meant that the soldiers of Elson City could land in any area of the kingdom at any time!
In addition, any orcs, undead, and even those countries behind the eastern mountain range will probably be shrouded in the attack range in the future.
"Ten in the back! Cut in from the right side!"
"Roger!"
Hearing the command from the front, Brado raised his hand to cast a spell, and placed the large wood piled up on the side on the "chuck" of the magic circle, this "chuck" is the control hand of the lifting magic circle, its existence, so that ordinary engineering soldiers can carry more than two tons of heavy objects like the "mage's hand", and the energy consumption is low, and the control distance is long.
Bhullar was about to pick up the next log, but his spell spell suddenly stopped, and then he suddenly raised his hand and cast a "light spell" into the sky!
"Who?!"
Because it was dark, there was a lighting circle at the construction site, but there were always lighting dead corners around. His lighting was extremely bright, giving an unobstructed view of everything near the entire river beach - the busy engineers stopped their movements on the spot, the infantry who assisted the guard on the periphery rushed over in full armor, and the patrolling cavalry was also preparing to charge with charged rifles in hand.
But in the light, they didn't see any suspicious targets.
Bhullar stared ahead with wide eyes, his wand pointing at the river beach on the other side, which was now empty in the light, and there was no figure in sight. There were already infantry with shields running in front of him to block him, and then asked, "Where is the enemy?"
"It can't be a mistake, right?"
Another mage, Gray, approached, and he had unleashed the Scouting Technique, confirming that there were no humans in that direction.
"No... I did see a figure standing there, but—" Bhullar looked at a small sapling standing alone not far away, and finally said, "I hope I'm wrong." ”
May 16, Elson City.
It's been a week since the start of the war, the sand table in front of Roddy has been changed countless times, and by now, the icons of the area under the control of the royal family of Cullen have been reduced by three-fifths, and the main force has stretched from the temple all the way to the north bank of the Bordeaux River two hundred kilometers away.
At the same time, the cities of Layenne and Becolis on the south bank of the Bordeaux River also planted the banner of Eforta, sandwiching the main forces such as the retreating Viscount of Boragon in the middle.
"You guys are really good at fighting, it turns out that fighting in the human world is so interesting! I used to think that those infantry knights coming and going were as clumsy as turtles, but with planes and mechanized troops, it seems that the way of war has changed. ”
It was Kardashian who spoke, and she was actually boasting about herself when she said this, after all, she was the pillar of the aircraft research and development department, and this war had a transport plane to join, and those tactics that only existed in the plan were easily implemented, and it can be said that a small part of the credit belongs to her.
"If you can hold on to the advantage, you can really win, and what I am most worried about is that the opponent will fight back desperately. ”
After Luo Di finished speaking, he still opened his arms and hugged the female dragon with a "come and praise me" expression: "Okay, okay, I know that you are the best." Don't you blush when you praise you like this every day?"
Kardashian didn't care about this, she turned her head sideways and kissed Roddy: "Hehe, anyway, I'm full of accomplishments!"
Conquering half of the country in a week, this kind of war that goes down in history has its own merits, and it is normal for Kardashian to have this kind of vanity - after all, she has been in Elson for a long time, and she has been hanging out with Roddy all day, and her way of thinking has changed.
