A total of three people, all of whom died in the shack under the stage. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The presiding judge nodded, "The watchman of the beacon tower is rotated once a week, so when I went to the scene to check, the corpse was already stinking. ”

"Very well, so they didn't put the beacon fire, but someone else," Soli slammed his fist on the desk, laughing angrily, "Is this deliberately teasing us?"

"The exact reason for this is unknown, but my lord, the confession of one of the rats is very interesting," he said, gesturing to the report, "and I made a point of writing it on the last page." ”

The presiding judge flipped to the end and skimmed hastily, "Two weeks ago, someone at the bottom of the Cold Wind Ridge set up a card along the road, prohibiting anyone from going to the Desperate Mountain Range, but not preventing the people on the mountain from leaving?"

He had planned to try his luck in Glen, only to see a caravan that was supposed to go to Hermes stopped. ”

"It really wasn't the lord's doing?" Soli thought to himself, "wait...... Two weeks ago, when was the last time the grain sellers were there?

"Three days ago. ”

The archbishop's face instantly sank, "In other words, this level, which claims to not allow anyone to go to the Desperate Mountain Range, has released that group of merchants?"

The answer is just out of nowhere.

"They're a bunch of people. The presiding judge replied, "At least it looks like a gang." ”

"How many people are there at the checkpoint?"

"The rats just glanced at it from afar, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of them. ”

"Just show your tail," Solly Dahl said, standing up, "give me the order to gather all the Inquisitionists!"

"Your Excellency, do you want to go down the mountain?" the presiding judge was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly dissuaded, "The Pope's order is for us to stay where we are after capturing the Cold Wind Ridge, to ensure that the mountain road is clear, and to wait for the army to be dispatched...... If you want to grab a few people to ask about the situation, it is enough to send a squad. ”

"Not only do I have to scratch a few tongues, but I also have to crush their levels to dust, and that's the price of teasing the Holy City!" Solley waved his hand impatiently, "If I go now, I will see their heads hanging at the gates the day after tomorrow - this will have no effect on the battle plan of the Holy City, and His Majesty will not blame him." ”

"But if the enemy sets up an ambush......

"Ambush?" Solly glanced at him, "I once led an army to attack the Broken Tooth Fort in the Wolf Heart Kingdom, it was an extremely difficult battle, but even if it relied on the majestic mountains, the ambush of ordinary people could only bring some trouble to the Divine Punishment Army, let alone the open flat area at the foot of the mountain? At this point, the archbishop paused, "I understand, let me carry out my orders." ”

“...... Yes, sir. ”

Looking at the back of the presiding judge leaving, Solly Dahl showed a sneer, he would never let go of the blasphemers.

"There's a big group of men and horses in the Cold Wind Ridge?" said Iron Axe, looking at the fat pigeon that flew into the tent.

"Almost a thousand people!" Maisie flapped her wings, "there were no food carts, no militiamen, all of them wearing armor, and some of them carrying huge shields and spears!"

"Giant shield?" said Iron Axe in surprise, "how big?"

"Hmm......" Maisie tilted her head to look at him, "almost as big as you." ”

"I see, well done," said the sandman, who had taken out a slice of jerky and handed it to the pigeon, as was customary, before summoning the guards guarding the door, "inform the musket battalion commander Brian and the artillery battalion commander Vanna to come to my tent for a meeting, and the enemy has moved." ”

......

After listening to the information provided by the witch, Brian couldn't help frowning, "How could it come so quickly, it will take two or three days for Your Majesty to arrive in Glen Town, and the fortress cannon is not in place......"

"The Church's response has indeed been quicker than we expected, but whether Your Majesty is here or not, we must fulfill our duty and never take a step back. "In any case, the enemy must not go beyond the line of defense at the foot of the mountain." ”

"Yes!" the two said in unison.

"Very well, the next step is the specific operational arrangement. Iron Axe licked his lips, "The enemy will need to trek for at least a day to reach the base of the mountain, so we have plenty of time to prepare. There are only more than 2,000 Divine Punishment Stones in total, and they should be handed over to the soldiers arranged on the front line as much as possible, and the machine gunners are the focus of protection, and they must wear the Divine Stones. "In addition, I will arrange for ten soldiers with good marksmanship and a machine gun squad to stand by Miss Sylvie's side, and focus on the threat of the enemy according to her on-site reconnaissance instructions, and the rest will be according to the rules of the exercise." ”

"I have a question," Vanna hesitated, "if the guy with the giant shield on the enemy team is ......"

"Nine times out of ten, it's a divine punishment army," Iron Axe nodded, "According to Miss Maisie, there is absolutely no way for ordinary people to march with a shield of that size. ”

"Can a bullet pierce?" asked Brian.

"No one knows until they try it," Iron Axe replied without hesitation, "if the muskets don't do any effective damage, your men will turn to hindering the advance of the Divine Punisher as much as possible, and let the artillery deal with them." ”

"Yes. ”

"In the end, the solution will depend on artillery," Vanna smiled, "Leave it to me, my lord." ”

Early the next morning, Danny went into the trench with his beloved rifle.

According to yesterday's arrangement, he soon came to his intended position, the right flank of a trench in the center of the position, where all the bushes and low trees had been removed, and he had a wide field of vision, which was very suitable for accurate shooting.

He picked up a few stones from under his feet, placed them on the edge of the ditch to make a small support, and then mounted his gun on the stones and aimed them forward.

Through the crosshairs, Danny could see the dew hanging from the blades of grass on the ground, spiders clinging to barbed wire, red dirt roads covered with horseshoe prints, and desperate mountains in the distance.

Excellent blocking position.

He pulled the bolt of his gun, shoved the first bullet into his chamber, and the next thing was to wait for the enemy to appear.

As an Orion, Danny has always been patient.

Since he was recruited into the militia by His Majesty, he has participated in a series of battles such as the Defensive Battle of the Demon Moon, the Battle of Duke Changge, and the Attack on the Royal Capital, and the weapon in his hand has also changed from a flintlock pistol to the latest bolt-action rifle. In terms of combat experience, he was definitely one of the best candidates in the First Army, and if he hadn't insisted on staying at the front, he would have become the second largest musket battalion officer after Sir Brian.

But he prefers the feeling of shooting his prey to commanding others.

From the day he touched the musket, he fell in love with the weapon.

Easy to use and powerful, all you need is a good pair of eyes and a little bit of talent.

Holding the gun in his hand, he could feel the surging power in his heart.
