Chapter 497: The First Artillery Division

The long procession trotted along the wide avenues carved out in the highland forests, and even though the commander had eight orc soldiers march side by side at the same time, an army of more than 20,000 men still pulled out a long line that was miles long.

The sheep-headed Seiters sat on his horse and led his troops on the way, and for the first time felt that it was so easy and comfortable to go out with the army.

With the continuous growth of musket production in the territory, the planned musketeers have long been able to achieve one musket per person, so the archer class has completely disappeared from the battle sequence of the Iron Lord.

This is a helpless thing, no matter how amazing your archery talent is, and how many years of hard training you have had, but the archer troops, when facing the musketeer phalanx, otherwise have range or power, the loss is too great.

So when the little dwarf Lord Modo made the decision to eliminate the archers, even the former supreme commander of the archer army, the sheep-headed Setters, had to accept this extremely cruel reality.

Nowadays, in the steel militia troops, except for a few archery masters, who still retain bows and arrows as their secondary weapons, there is basically no trace of archers.

However, as the famous saying in the human world says: "When God closes a door for you, it also quietly opens a window for you." ”

Rather than lose his place in the militia, Seiters once again discovered another talent of his own, operating and directing the use of various heavy equipment.

With this ability, as well as his deep seniority in the militia forces, the sheep-headed Setters was appointed by the little dwarf Lord Modo as the first division commander of the 1st Division of the Iron Collar Artillery.

It is undeniable that the current weapons of the artillery division, whether it is a ballista or a trebuchet, are indispensable fire support forces in battle, but there are also many headaches, even if Master Modo specially equipped the artillery division with an astonishing number of horses, but when it comes to the march, it is the beginning of the nightmare.

Heavy equipment, even if it was broken down into several parts, was still cumbersome when loaded into wagons, and the slightest condition on the road, such as a small puddle or something, was a big trouble for the soldiers of the artillery division.

If you fight on the inner line of the steel collar, there will be a smooth road wherever you go, and relying on a large number of horses, the artillery division will basically not drag the back of the army.

In the event of such a thing as going out to fight, it will cause a headache for the elder Seiters, and the other branches of the army also have a lot of micro-remarks about the artillery division, which has seriously slowed down the speed of the march, and there are all kinds of strange things.

But feng shui took turns, and now it was finally Seitus's turn and his artillerymen, whether it was musketeers, grenadiers, or a small number of melee troops, and the weapons and armor on their bodies combined were dozens of pounds.

The 1st Artillery Division had nothing at all except a simple marching backpack on each person, and looking at the musketeers, who were a little out of breath because of the long march, the sheep-headed Setters and his men, the thought was unprecedented.

However, the same doubt rose from their hearts: "What is the new weapon in the mouth of Lord Modo, so that the first artillery division abandoned all the equipment and rushed to the highland forest empty-handed......"

After the successive orders of the little dwarf Lord Modo were issued, the first to arrive under the tree of life in the highland forest were the little fox and Medusa, and the two of them led more than 20 people in the steel city, selected from their subordinates, and by the way, there was also an army of 20,000 people, including the first artillery division.

Originally, the two of them wanted to stay at home and come with the army as before, but this plan was completely rejected by the little dwarf.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and in the face of such a good opportunity, no matter which wife is left at home, Mo Duo feels that it is inappropriate; simply, he asked the two of them to come over together, and the troops left behind at home will raise their vigilance, if there is anything, it will not take long to ride the fat dragon Xiaohei back from here.

It is worth mentioning that the mount of the little fox Helena is no longer the Kodo beast that has been used for some years, but has been replaced by a giant beast with a height of more than ten meters, a baby Beamon who was born not long ago.

Just as Modo, Little Fox and the others were heading to the human world, the Beamon cub who had been smeared with the Great Elf King's Secret Potion was finally hatched from the giant egg two months later.

It is said that after this baby baby broke out of the eggshell, it was two meters tall, which was completely comparable to a big orc man, and after eating the eggshell in a few bites, it immediately grew a lot in size, reaching an astonishing three meters.

However, all this is just the beginning, thanks to Medusa's careful feeding, even the usual food is a variety of fresh monster meat rich in energy, and the size of this baby is growing rapidly like blowing up a balloon.

So when the little fox Helena returned to the Iron City, she saw this Beamon cub that had only hatched for a few months, and was ten meters away.

So the Kodo Beast, which has been ridden by the little fox for many years, was honorably discharged, and the Beamon cub became Helena's new mount and pet;

The little dwarf eagerly hugged his two wives, and then had to plunge into the complicated work; there was only a little more than a month before the time for the evolution and upgrading of the tree of life, and during this time, how could the first artillery division have a certain combat effectiveness......

"I'll go! This is the god of war in the mouth of Lord Modo, a powerful cannon? Isn't this just some enlarged musket? Seitz the Sheep-headed muttered, and then pointed out the problem pointedly.

This was true, because of the rush of time, the size of the weapons repair workshop in the highland forest was limited, and after the arrival of the 1st Artillery Division, it was only successful in equipping four guns with gun carriages and wheels.

For the little dwarf Master Modo, less is a little less, but it is barely enough to let all the officers and soldiers of the First Artillery Division increase their knowledge.

Among them, two twelve-pounder guns and two six-pounder guns were quietly placed in front of the first artillery division and more than 10,000 officers and men.
