Chapter 107: Iron Beast
At noon, a procession of guards and refugees bustled along the road to the Moria's mines.
A convoy of small cavalry and large infantry was scattered on either side of the ranks, and in the center were steam caravans carrying refugees and light and heavy wounded. Like the steam locomotive driven by Su Qin, this bulky but extremely large vehicle relied on the wonderful technology provided by Leos to run smoothly.
However, due to the lack of metallurgical technology and other aspects. On the premise of ensuring long-term stable operation, this large steam car can only move at a constant speed close to that of a galloping horse. So, they are still a long way from their destination. Presumably, when the Dark Army arrives at Fort Clarion. This team will be able to reach the end of the journey, the Moriad Cave.
At the front of the team, Su Qin drove a steam locomotive to pull away from the large army. The locomotive comes with a sidecar with a sidecar, which is commonly known as a nephew. Huang Quan sat in the sidecar with a long knife in his arms, leisurely looking at the scenery in the distance. In a world where there is no industrial pollution, the air, water and mountains and forests all reveal a pure natural charm.
"Do you feel it?" Su Qin suddenly asked inexplicably.
"Huh?"
"They don't trust us."
"You mean Marushiro them? This is not a strange thing. Huang Quan turned around and said in surprise.
"That being said, my gut tells me that they are hiding something very important." Su Qin subconsciously clenched the handle. After entering this world, the future presented by the foreknowledge brought by the Force or psionic energy is shrouded in a shadow that cannot be seen clearly. Although it was not a clear and unambiguous image of the future, it was just a vague feeling that could not be explained in words, but he still did not dare to take it lightly.
"In cooperation, it is very common for the reincarnation team to hide all kinds of hole cards, and if you dig too deep, it may cause unnecessary trouble." Huang Quan stuck out his tongue and said casually.
It's not quite winter yet, so the temperatures don't feel very cold when you leave the Misty Mountains. The warm breeze blowing in his face made Huangquan feel very comfortable, and he couldn't help but stand up from the shoulder bucket and stretch his waist, his stretched body revealing a beautiful youthful curve.
"Hey, that's dangerous." Su Qin stretched out her hand to let Huang Quan return to the sidecar, but she flexibly dodged it.
"Don't worry, this half-demon body has a good sense of balance." Huang Quan smiled and stood on the sidecar with his arms outstretched, his burgundy windbreaker and bundled green silk flying, looking like wild roses blooming again in the field after a wildfire burned from a distance.
"Ah, whatever you want." Su Qin rubbed his hair, simply let go of the handle, and still galloped forward from the locomotive.
"Hell, are these two guys here for an outing?" Looking at the locomotive that was swaying into the distance, Jin Li couldn't help muttering in the cab of the steam caravan. Hearing his words, Iowen, who was riding outside the car window, couldn't help but pout.
Even after persuasion by others, the relationship between the two is still very stiff. One attaches great importance to honor and is unwilling to forgive, and the other is dead and can't pull down his face to apologize. If it weren't for the fact that the other coalition generals had to be stationed at Fort Horn, they probably wouldn't have let the two men carry out their mission together. However, reality does not change by personal will. In this operation, Jin Li is responsible for directing the dwarves who are skilled in forging to establish a new logistics system in Morrell. Eowwen was in charge of directing the accompanying soldiers to protect the entire team.
The steam locomotive, which was also made of steam technology, was not clever in its operating principle, but with the ingenious transformation of Leos, it was able to exert a surging power that was not inferior to that of an advanced internal combustion engine. The peculiar wide uni-wheel design also strengthened the locomotive's off-road ability. But in the face of almost completely roadless fields, the moving steam locomotive still jolted very hard. But then again, the two reincarnators whose physical fitness has already been strengthened will not care about this.
Yellow Spring standing on a sidecar. Even jumping rhythmically back and forth on the edge of the sidecar with the strength of the bumps and undulations. Su Qin looked sideways at the pure smile on her face, feeling a slight sigh of relief in her heart. He had always been worried that the other party would not be able to get rid of the memories of the past, although he said that he would completely forget the past, and said that he wanted to be a deserter, but even if he did not rely on psionic energy and the Force, Su Qin could still feel the burden that Huang Quan's heart could not let go.
Although he was worried about this, he didn't show anything unusual on weekdays. I believe that with the passage of time and the strengthening of bonds, one day, Huang Quan will be able to let go of those burdens and embark on a new path of life.
Just as they were quietly enjoying the natural scenery, the sudden chill made Su Qin quickly hold the handlebars and reduce his speed. Huang Quan also clenched the boy Qi'an Gang to put away the smile on his face, and at the same time, he summoned a spherical spirit-shaped spirit fire to make it float beside him.
"Do you feel it?" Su Qin stopped the steam locomotive and looked solemnly at the calm hill in the distance.
"Well, that killing intent is too obvious." Huang Quan nodded and said solemnly.
In the distance, behind the seemingly calm hill, four intense killing intent was emanating like wolf smoke that soared into the sky. An existence that can exude such a strong killing intent must not be easy to match.
Taking the police fireworks from his bosom and sounding them, Su Qin turned the car and galloped away from the refugee team, trying to divert the attention of the ambushers.
Screaming fireworks blasted up in the sky a cloud of red smoke,
Seeing this conspicuous smoke, the ambush soldiers who knew that they had been exposed quickly killed it. Su Qin was surprised to hear the same engine whistling behind him, and through the rearview mirrors on both sides, he saw three heavy motorcycles jumping out of the hillside. These heavy vehicles that constantly spew black smoke are covered in spiked armor, with different styles of skeletons on the front and large-caliber cannons on the sides of the front wheels.
And the people riding on those motorcycles are not ordinary people, they are all Chaos Space Marines wearing red power armor. These little giants, who are generally more than two meters tall, shouted, "Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull master." Swinging a chainsaw axe and a blaster gun, they followed Su Qin closely behind them.
At this time, from a distance, the guards, who also saw the smoke, quickly used the steam caravan as a temporary shelter before it formed a circle. Some of the infantrymen who ran into the circle opened the rectangular equipment boxes on their backs, took out bulky guns that resembled early flintlock pistols, and began to conduct pre-battle inspections. In the other part, a number of hoses were pulled out of the bottom compartment of the steam caravan and attached to the inspected firearm, and then round lead bullets were taken from the pouch pinned to the waist and stuffed into the barrel.
With the roar of the steam engine running at full power, the hose gradually became bulging. When it swells up, a large amount of steam is sent into the compression chamber on the inside of the barrel, and the disc-shaped barometer mounted on the butt of the gun rotates immediately, and the hands in the circular instrument panel rotate slowly. For technical reasons, the mass-produced steam rifle could not safely store high-pressure steam for a long time. As a result, the infantrymen using these new weapons had to urgently refill the steam as the battle was about to begin.
Fortunately, after receiving Su Qin's early warning, they finally had enough time to complete their preparations. Listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, everyone nervously looked at the horizon in the distance. It didn't take long for a large number of sore-covered orcs to swell like a tide under the leadership of a small number of tall and strong orcs. to the car array.
Seeing this scene, the infantrymen lying on the roof of the caravan couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and some of the recruits showed obvious signs of vacillation and panic. Seeing this, Iowen hurriedly handed over the command of the cavalry to his battle-hardened lieutenants, ordering them to stay away from the chariot formation and wait for the battle situation to change before waiting for an opportunity. He returned to the chariot formation and jumped into the caravan to take direct command of all the infantry.
"Everyone can only shoot when they hear the order, those beasts are still far away from our range, don't waste bullets and air pressure, wait for ......" Before he could finish speaking, Iowen fell into a state of shock because of the new terrifying presence in front of him. In the distance, a terrifying steel "monster" slowly emerged from the hill where half-orcs were constantly emerging.
This conspicuously painted red monster became a source of fear for everyone as soon as it appeared.
