Chapter 201: Digging through
The cold wind of the Hengduan Mountains is biting, and the special terrain makes the north wind through here make a "whine", ghost-like howl.
This is the famous moat on the mainland, and even the mountain eagle can't fly over, but its name as the place of death is about to be broken.
Two Terran legions are digging tunnels in full force.
They have seen the light of hope.
The wide road, which allows two carriages to run side by side at the same time, is still covered with gravel. In order to make the gravel less tangled, the ground was slightly leveled by the magician with the earth magic of elemental magic, but only slightly, just to make the edges and corners of the gravel slag more rounded and evenly paved, and other than that, there was no other treatment.
At the very front of the tunnel, the two Escaped Mountain Armors were digging with all their might, and it was their presence that made the progress of the Seth army so fast.
Warcraft is indeed the real excavation expert.
Thankfully, the main component of the Hengduan Mountains is hard rock rather than dirt. People who dig mountains are afraid of soft and hard, there are many ways to solve this kind of hard rock, and the mountain beetle can easily dig them up, but if it is a mess of mud, it will be difficult to do, usually you dig a claw, it can come down with two claws, you dig two claws, it comes down with four claws.
Some of the soldiers also dug with the Dunshanjia, and their main task was to widen the tunnels as wide as possible and transport the rocks out.
More soldiers hid in caves outside, the openings of which were dug as small as possible, and thick blankets were hung to keep the cold wind out. Inside the cave, a small pot was set up on a warm fire, and a rich broth burned in it, where the soldiers, even the magicians, regained their strength and heat.
Being able to eat meat at all times while resting is probably the best perk of doing this chore, and meat is not eaten whenever you want to eat it in other places.
......
On the first line of excavation, two high-ranking people stood behind the Dunshan Armor, watching the two demonic beasts wave their claws at high speed.
"Mr. Luo Lan, how much more time will it take for the Escape Mountain Armor to dig through this tunnel? Macron, the commander of the Blade Legion, asked the young man standing beside him, wearing a robe painted with strange symbols.
"According to the current progress, in two days, we will be able to successfully penetrate this place, and then the legions of the kingdom will be able to set off from here and point their swords at the elves. A young man named Luo Lan said.
Macron was reluctant when he heard this, and shook his head vigorously.
"Two days? No, no, no, it can't be. Mr. Luo Lan, I must tell you that we will dig through tomorrow at the latest, this is a dead order, and I must carry it out. You have to get your Dunshanjia to dig through the tunnel within a day. ”
"One day?" Luo Lan's face brought a sneer: "Commander Macron, I must also tell you that two days is already the fastest speed." For the sake of secrecy, we will have to perform the last blast in a moment, and we can't do it again after this blasting, otherwise we will be discovered by the elves. But once the blasting support is lost, the excavation speed of the Dunshanjia will be slowed down, and two days is still the reason for the overload of the Dunshanjia, otherwise it will take longer. ”
"Then give up the secrecy and continue to blast, I demand that the remaining sixty zhang must be dug within one day!" Macron pointed at Luo Lan and said loudly, his finger almost touching the tip of Luo Lan's nose.
"I want to tell you clearly, if you want to see the heavily armed elven army on the other side of the tunnel the moment the tunnel is dug up, then you can do it, as long as you don't put the blame on me when the time comes!" Luo Lan snorted coldly, twisted his head to the side, and stopped paying attention to Macron.
It's hard to talk to such a brainless idiot.
Luo Lan knew very well what they were going to do, he was a famous beast tamer, and the two Dunshan Armors were tamed by him, if it weren't for him and these two monsters, Augsg would never have thought of digging a tunnel to attack.
Because animal trainers often deal with monsters, and many monsters are very good at burrowing, in order to understand their habits, Luo Lan is also very proficient in excavation, this excavation, he is not only a beast trainer, but also an excavation engineer.
By digging holes in the tunnel's important structural nodes and burying explosives, Luo Lan made the tunnel physically fragile by destroying the nodes, so that the excavation speed of the Dunshanjia could be doubled to triple.
This is of course a trick, it is very practical, but it has a more obvious disadvantage, that is, it has a very large noise, especially in this kind of relatively confined underground space, the sound is constantly reflected, and the sound is far louder than in an open place, which means that it cannot be used often.
Don't think that the Hengduan Mountains are thick enough to use alchemy explosives to blast with impunity. Here, even a small jolt can cause structural damage to the snow layer outside the mountain, causing avalanches, and more than 2,000 soldiers have died here because of this terrible natural disaster.
"Okay, two days is two days, but you have to dig through it in two days. "In the end, it was Macron who gave in.
"You promised it and it would have been over. ”
......
The workload of the soldiers of the two legions, the "Killer Bee" Legion and the "Blade" Legion, was suddenly doubled.
Because the tunneling has been very long, the temperature in the tunnel is no longer cold, and the soldiers can work in it for a long time, and for a while, the whole tunnel is full of clanging sounds.
"Brother Dahei, why did you say that the top suddenly let us all come in to work? We've been working for most of the day, and we haven't been allowed to rest. A short sergeant held a long iron fiber, and next to him, a tall swarthy sergeant held a sledgehammer and struck it on the iron fiber in the short sergeant's hand.
"What do you know," the sergeant called Big Black raised his arm and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "this tunnel is about to be dug through, and then we can go home with a good bounty, and you can get a wife." ”
"Didn't you say that there was still a long way away?" the short sergeant looked at the Dunshan Armor beside him, and leaned back to the big black brother, for fear that the Dunshan Armor would give him a claw.
"You listen to their nonsense," said the big black brother, picking up his hammer and striking the bell three times, "I tell you, this tunnel is about to open, maybe it is from us!" he hammered the rock wall, and said, "We will be ...... at that time What's wrong with you?"
The short sergeant pointed behind him.
A golden light shone in, from the first line to a wisp, then to a piece.
Bang!
The sunlight shrouded the soldier's figure......
