Chapter Sixty-Nine: Crossing the Continental Fortress
It was completely dark, and on the edge of a small stream, six armed off-road vehicles were in a circle.
A bonfire was lit in the middle, and a wild cheetah that had just been hunted on the road was roasted on the bonfire.
Next to the campfire is an induction cooker connected to the battery of an off-road vehicle.
There was a pot of porridge burning in the pot on the induction cooker, and Zhang Yu was putting some dehydrated vegetables in it at this time.
At the same time, each person also has a can of canned fruit in their hands.
This is the supper of the people.
Soon the crowd was ready to go to bed.
Twelve special forces and twelve knights, two of each for the vigil.
The rest fell asleep in a circle of six SUVs, each sleeping bag at a time.
The next day, everyone ate some leftover barbecue from last night, and some compressed biscuits and continued on their way.
Last night's vigil took the opportunity to sleep in the car, and the others were closing their eyes to recuperate.
By noon, the convoy was on the continental corridor.
After estimating, the location of the space-time gate is estimated to be only four or five hundred kilometers away from the continental corridor, which is not far away. Compared to the distance of thousands of kilometers from east to west in the Western Continent, this distance shows that the space-time gate is located in the eastern region of the Western Continent.
However, as soon as the convoy stepped onto the continental corridor, it ran into trouble.
If it is said that in the vast orc continent, the chance of encountering an orc army is not high.
Then in the narrow continental corridor, especially when the orcs and humans are at war, the chances of encountering the orc army are too great.
So, not surprisingly, a convoy at the foot of a mountain was met by an orc army.
It was a wolf cavalry force composed of two or three thousand wolf riders, and when they met six armed off-road vehicles head-on, the wolf riders rushed towards the convoy without slowing down, obviously not paying attention to the convoy.
The convoy first paused, and then six off-road vehicles lined up against the rushing wolf-rider orcs, until the wolf-riders rushed to a position about a hundred meters away from the off-road vehicles, and the machine guns on the armed off-road vehicles opened fire.
The six machine guns instantly formed a fire blockade line, sweeping away the wolf riders in the front row, and in the blink of an eye, two or three hundred wolf riders fell under the blockade of the machine guns.
Immediately after that, the machine-gun fire extended forward, and the wolf-riders continued to fall, but the new wolf-riders rushed up again, and then fell again.
In just over ten seconds, a full two or three thousand wolf-riders fell by a third, while the wolf-riders behind had not yet reacted and continued to rush upward.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds passed that the number of wolf-rider orcs was less than a thousand, and the remnants of the wolf-rider orcs seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare, looking at the hellish scene of stumps and broken arms on the ground in front of them, and the flesh and blood blurred like hell, even a killing orcs were terrified, so they collapsed.
It's a pity that the special forces of the convoy naturally won't send it to them, otherwise let them run back to report the news, and they will not face encirclement and interception along the way.
So the six armed off-road vehicles quickly started and began to chase the remaining wolf-riders until they killed all the fleeing wolf-riders, all of which took the convoy half an hour before they were on the road again.
And when it was dark again, the convoy had traveled more than 200 kilometers in the continental corridor, and the continental fortress that had divided the two continents far away was already in sight.
The corridor connecting the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent is the thinnest point of a narrow place with a width of only a few tens of kilometers, and the Continental Fortress that separates the two continents is also here.
The so-called continental fortress, in addition to the fortress fort with troops in the middle, is actually a long wall like the Great Wall on both sides, separating the two continents from north to south.
After the previous war, this long wall has also been damaged, and it has not been repaired until now.
So these gaps are the best place for the team to get through.
In fact, even when the city wall was intact before, it was not too difficult for a small group of people to climb over the city wall, as long as they saw that there were no patrols, they could climb up with a rope and go down. It's just that it is impossible for a convoy to pass like Liang Yun.
It can be said that if it is only a small group of actions, there is still a way to climb the continental fortress, which is also the reason why small groups of orcs have disturbed human society from time to time in the past. But if you want to march over the continental fortress in large forces, there is no other way unless you conquer the fortress.
Taking advantage of the darkness, special forces wearing night vision devices drove to search for gaps in the city walls.
Soon a gap appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The convoy sped up and rushed towards the sloping wall, on which some of the orcs were shouting, but it was a pity that the orcs were not even enough to stuff the convoy into their teeth.
The machine guns on the six armed off-road vehicles opened fire instantly, leaving a large hole in the city wall, and all the orcs that were swept away were torn to shreds.
In this way, the convoy crossed the rambling walls and sailed away.
It wasn't until a few dozen kilometers away from the city wall that he stopped to camp and rest.
In this way, the convoy passed through the continental fortress, and according to the estimation of Yilan Fanxing, with the speed of the convoy, as long as it walked for about half a day tomorrow, it would be able to pass through this continental corridor and enter the Eastern Continent.
At the speed of the convoy, it is possible to go about 200 kilometers in the morning, after all, there is no highway here, and it is not bad to be able to run at this speed on the changeable terrain in the wild.
So Liang Yun estimated that this so-called continental corridor is only four or five hundred kilometers long at most, which is indeed short enough compared to the two continents.
However, if you calculate it carefully, this distance is actually not short, it is equivalent to the distance from Jinling to Wuhan.
Not to mention that after the army arrived on the Western Continent, it went four or five hundred kilometers deeper, and reached the vicinity of the location of the space-time gate to fight.
The sum of these two is a thousand kilometers, and according to the marching speed of the ancient army, it would take at least a month to march for such a long distance.
It is no wonder that a group of ancient-level troops who crossed such a long distance to fight and did not pay attention to protecting the rear passages would be cut off from the grain route.
However, who made the orcs give the impression that they were rampage and didn't know how to plan, who would have thought that there was a demon behind the orc, and they also played conspiracy under the command of the demon.
It was still six armed off-road vehicles in a circle, leaving the night watchman behind, and then sleeping and resting.
After eating something the next day, the group continued on their way.
As noon approached, the convoy was finally about to leave this continental corridor and officially enter the Eastern Continent.
At this moment, however, the convoy, which had just turned the corner of a hill, encountered the enemy again, as it had been yesterday.
It's just that this time the enemy is not a wolf-riding orc, but a team of ten Beamon beasts sitting around eating, and dozens of orcs who are serving Beamon beasts to eat.
As for what the Beamon Behemoth is eating, it is the human being, or the human being of the Eastern Continent of this world.
Men and women, young and old, were carted by the orcs to carry the bodies to the Beamon beast, and then the Beamon beast grabbed them and ate them one by one.
