068 Prepare for battle
George's loud whistle alarm alarmed the guards of the hydroelectric factory, and the outer patrols all rushed in the direction of the two of them, and the storm soldiers who were on duty in turn were all dressed in their equipment and ready to fight as fast as they could.
At the same time, the alarm bell placed at the top of the hydroelectric plant was also sounded at this moment, and the loud bell rang in the silent winter night, resounding for more than ten miles in a radius, and almost the entire storm fort heard the alarm bell from the direction of the hydroelectric plant.
Duke was still dreaming that Princess Gina was impressed by her bravery, and she was as obedient as a kitten and thumped her legs. As a result, as soon as the alarm bell sounded, Princess Gina instantly turned into a high-spirited appearance, pointing at her nose and scolding the straw bale, which scared Duke from his sweet dream.
When Duke heard the sound of the alarm bell coming from the hydroelectric factory, the only remaining sleepiness disappeared immediately, because the hydroelectric factory is simply the lifeblood of the current Storm Castle, if the hydraulic plant is destroyed, then the Storm Castle is almost in a state of waiting for death.
"Guards, gather the Storm Guards!"
Duke shouted at the soldiers guarding the door, and then hurried to get dressed, and at this time Sophia also ran in from the maid's room to help Duke put on his armor, and she also knew that once the alarm bell sounded, it meant that danger was coming.
Almost as fast as he had ever done in his life, Duke put on the armor that his family had inherited from his family, which was called a "tortoiseshell", and then hurried towards the periphery of the castle.
At the same time, the entire Storm Castle began to be lit up with a lot of lights, and many ordinary people were also awakened after hearing the alarm bells, and they all thought that the monster army had attacked.
And in the storm barracks, all the knights and soldiers launched a quick emergency assembly. The set of emergency assembly training in the later generations also had an unexpected effect at this moment, almost the gathering speed of the Storm Legion was at least five times faster than the average gathering speed of the legions on the mainland, and there was no disturbance.
The two military commanders, Cassel and Allen, also gathered their troops in full gear at the first time, ready to wait for Duke's arrival to give orders.
"Cassel, Alan, do you know what's going on?"
Duke ran to the barracks and immediately asked.
"My lord, I don't know for the time being, but there is an alarm bell from the water factory, and it seems that there is an accident. However, the watchtower above the fortress did not show any traces of the monster army in the monster valley with binoculars, so we don't know what happened to the hydroelectric factory. ”
The army of monsters didn't go out?, which was a surprise to Duke, if it weren't for these monsters, what else would be there around Stormcastle that could make the hydro factory sound the alarm. You must know that the alarm bell means that the hydroelectric plant is in a critical state and belongs to the first level of combat readiness.
Whatever happens, though, Duke must lead the Storm Legion to the hydroelectric plant.
"Have the soldiers been assembled?"
"It's ready, the Storm Legion is ready to fight. Alan replied with confidence, this is the soldier he trained, and he has absolute confidence.
"Then let's go now! they actually bullied my storm castle, then let them understand why the flowers are so red!"
Since it wasn't an army of monsters, thinking that there weren't any powerful beings around Storm Fort, Duke wasn't so empty. Now that Storm Castle is in the midst of a strong army, the monster army can't be defeated, and the average soft persimmon still dares to be arrogant in front of him?
Alan had long been accustomed to the strange language that often appeared in Duke's mouth, maybe it was some slang that only existed in the imperial capital. So after Duke gave the order, he immediately led the Storm Legion to march in the direction of the hydroelectric factory.
And Duke didn't have ink, he rode a war horse directly, in fact, his riding skills are very poor, or rely on the original memory of this body to know how to ride a horse, usually slow and leisurely walking is okay, if it is really a charge, it is estimated that no one else will attack, and he can fall off the horse.
But now that time is urgent, Duke doesn't have time to care about so much, so hurry up and go to the hydroelectric plant!
On the other side, the hydroelectric factory is in a state of bloody battle, after George and Avar killed no less than ten fish-man monsters, they were finally overwhelmed by the fish-man army that rushed over, but their sacrifice also bought time for the hydro-factory patrol to rush over, temporarily resisting these fish-man monsters on the periphery of the hydro-electric factory, and the core hammer forging machine and blast furnace have not been damaged.
However, due to the limited production of plate armor in the early stage of the hydraulic factory, three or four hundred new plate armor have been forged so far. In addition to equipping all the knights, there is also the training adaptation in the barracks, as well as the elite guard equipment of the fortress.
The new plate armor assigned to the hydroelectric plant has less than fifty pairs. Moreover, the Storm Legion has not long been recruited, and only the first 500 veterans can be used, and the defense force of the hydroelectric factory is only 100 at full capacity.
If it is the invasion of the ice demons in the Monster Valley, then this vast space of the snow, the Storm Castle that has been equipped with telescopes, will have enough warning time, so a hundred or so people will be almost enough. It's just that this time everyone didn't expect that the enemy did not rush out of the monster valley, but quietly dived into the hydraulic factory from underwater, which was simply unguardable.
The 100-strong Storm Guard soldiers, heroically forming a formation like a great wall, blocked the entrance to the hydroelectric factory. In front of them was a black oppressive fish-man monster, and this time it was not only the fish-man before, but also a snake-tailed human body, an extremely strong snake-man monster.
What's more, most of these snake-tailed monsters, most of them rely on strong bodies, and they hold thick and heavy weapons such as hammers, battle axes, metal rods, etc., these weapons are far more harmful to plate armor than swords, because even if you don't have to cut through the plate armor, as long as the hammer is solid, the violent impact is enough to make the soldier suffer serious internal injuries.
But the Storm Soldiers were undaunted, and they lined up in a neat medieval defensive phalanx to fend off the attacks of these snake monsters. It's just that because the number of people is so scarce, the defense line inevitably has a hole, and some agile fish-man monsters take the opportunity to bypass the defense line and go to the hydraulic factory.
Faced with this critical situation, ordinary workers and blacksmiths in the hydroelectric factory, and even some migrant workers who built the waterway, took up all kinds of weapons and tools to protect the hydroelectric factory.
Because this hydroelectric factory is also their own brainchild, they also understand how important the armor they produce is. What's more, if you don't choose to resist this kind of dark night, you will only be killed one by one by these fish-man monsters in front of you, Storm Castle has gone through a hundred years of war, and almost all of them have developed the bloody nature of the people to fight for their lives, and cowardly people can't survive in the environment of Storm Castle.
Outside the blast furnace where Rose and Nicole were, the roars of blacksmiths and the screams of fish-man monsters were already visible, and the voices were getting closer and closer.
"Sister Rose, what are we going to do?" asked Nicole in fear.
"Don't be afraid of Nicole, the Holy See can't defeat us, and these monsters are even more impossible!"
Rose comforted Nicole, but her palms were also full of sweat, and it was at this time that a fish-man monster suddenly jumped in from the window, looking at the two little witches with cruel eyes.
