188 Nature is still a miracle
Hearing the words Helmet Mountain Fortress, Rege's face suddenly changed, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sheng Xuan, but found that this kid didn't react at all, as if it was none of his business, and after thinking about it, Reg seemed to understand a little, "It seems that Sheng Xuan doesn't know the location of this Helmet Mountain, so he didn't react."

"How did you get to be in that place?" Hearing Regg's inquiry, Finney hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" The words were full of eagerness, and there was even more surprise in his eyes, seeing that Reg didn't speak, Finney hurriedly continued, "All the mercenaries on this expedition were arranged in the fortress and shield slope of Helmet Mountain, and I won a camp for you at the top of Helmet Mountain, where should be the safest place for the entire fortress." ā
After a long time, seeing that Reg still didn't speak, Finney couldn't help but look unnatural, and he still held the paper military order in his hand, but he didn't know whether to put it away or hand it over, "Or, why don't I go to General Norman again to change your errand?"
"Forget it, let's go to Helmet Mountain Fort. Reg finally reluctantly accepted this reality, because just now he looked carefully at the camp below, and saw that there was really no mercenary on the military flags, and around the camp tent of the Chinese army, the armies of each county were arranged in an ingenious way, as if he had consciously or unintentionally sorted out this intimate relationship.
Reg couldn't help but shake his head secretly, if he was not familiar with this Norman general, he was not very unfamiliar, and his evaluation of this person was that he was conservative and courageous, and it was not easy to do this in such a complicated situation at this time.
With Finney, a team of men and horses slowly walked into the forward camp, this camp within a radius of dozens of miles was stationed with 100,000 troops, but at the moment it was very crowded, Sheng Xuan looked carefully at both sides, the canyon here is more than a few miles wide, and there are rows of well-defined camps, many of which are actually stationed in the caves carved out of the cliff, it seems that the pass here is usually garrisoned.
Seeing that Sheng Xuan was looking so carefully, Reg couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What do you think of these troops?" Sheng Xuan smiled slightly, "It's also decent." Reg nodded, and then asked, "What do you think of this general?"
Sheng Xuan couldn't help but look at him, and then turned his gaze to the direction of the Xiongguan Pass in the distance, "The defense is enough." Reg opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, in fact, for this pass that the Omar Empire has been operating for many years, it can be said that it is a national gate between Omar and Calais, Shengxuan's evaluation is very objective, there is really no need for too much command talent here, as long as he still has a little common sense to be able to mobilize the army, under the defense of 100,000 troops, it is more than enough to keep this Xiongguan.
As soon as he thought of this, Sheng Xuan followed up and said, "As long as it's not a straw bale, anyone can defend this place." ā
An hour later, the group finally came to the huge stone wall, the iron gate above it alone was ten meters high, and the iron gate was only a small existence on the wall, and the soldiers guarding the city gate carefully checked the military orders in Finney's hand, and then commanded hundreds of strong soldiers to slowly pull down the huge latch on the door with a winch.
With a shrill creak, the door was opened a gap, which was enough for two cavalrymen to pass side by side, Finney hurriedly led them out quickly, originally such a small team of mercenaries, there was no need to open the middle door, but it was seen that Norman showed a minimum of respect for every team that went to the front.
When he got outside, Sheng Xuan couldn't help but look back at the pass, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, there were huge steel mills hanging on the boulder city wall of more than ten zhang, each of which was probably weighing thousands of catties, and the hideous spikes on it didn't know if it was because of the rust of the years, or because he had drunk too much enemy blood, it looked even more eerie at the moment.
Once this thing falls, I'm afraid that even the Holy Rank will not dare to resist it head-on, and the thick steel cables on it are tightly tied to the steel mill, which can take it back again, and no matter how many troops the other party has, it will probably not be enough for them to devour.
The terrain outside the pass naturally formed a slope, which made it impossible for the enemy to rush up the speed, making it more difficult to siege the city, and the city wall was so high that Sheng Xuan really couldn't think of what kind of stairs could climb up.
At this moment, a cold light flashed, only to see those steel mills, there are countless sharp iron guns, which can't help but surprise him, even if there are enemy troops can rush to the city wall, those iron guns can not be crossed, the final result is either penetrated by iron guns or shot through by the soldiers at the head of the city as a target, this pass can be said to be impregnable, where is it still guarded by 100,000 troops?
After walking a full five miles, Finney spoke, "This is the Grand Canyon of Crolla, the canyon here is twenty miles wide, and twenty miles away is the army of our old adversary, the city of Gangsas, is stationed. After walking a mile further, Finney continued, "This place has been used as the main battlefield of wars between the two countries many times, and I don't know how many of Omar's brave soldiers are buried here, and every time I walk to this place, I shudder. ā
No one interrupted Finney, only listening to him babble about the bloody battles in the past here, which made the Fallen Leaf Mercenary Regiment soldiers feel as if this was not going to the battlefield, but like a battlefield sightseeing trip.
Now on my left hand side is the Helmet Mountain Fortress, the destination of our trip, and following his fingers, everyone's eyes can't help but turn their eyes, only to see that in the gloomy canyon, a huge helmet-shaped rock protrudes beyond the canyon cliff wall, only at this distance can you see its full picture, it is really like a huge samurai helmet, but I don't know who in this world can wear it.
Looking at the helmet mountain and sighing, Finney said loudly again, "Look at my right, this is the famous shield slope, because it is too huge, we can't see its whole picture, but someone has carefully measured it, proving that it is indeed like a round shield, but I am afraid that no one in the world can use such a huge shield, so I can't help but sigh at the magnificence of nature, this is simply a miracle created by God." ā
Hearing Finney talk about the shield slope, everyone turned their eyes to where they were, only to see a slightly raised slope, which looked like a huge shield leaning on the cliff wall, although it was impossible to see its full picture, but it could still be felt from the part they saw that it was a huge shield.
"On this shield slope, there is a regiment of Omar warriors and 30,000 mercenaries, and on the helmet hill is stationed a battalion of warriors and 20,000 mercenaries, these two places are like two bridgeheads of our army, which can hit the enemy on both flanks when they attack, and because of the importance of these two places, there have been countless fierce battles,ććććć"
Finney was still talking, while leading the team towards the direction of Helmet Mountain, but Sheng Xuan's heart was not here at all, and his mind was still immersed in the shock of the huge helmet and giant shield he had just seen.
"Is there really a god in this world? I am afraid that only the physique of a huge god can use such a huge helmet and shield. "Maybe many people prefer to believe that this is a miracle of nature, but these two things appear here at the same time, and they are so real, it is really like a helmet and shield magnified countless times, and it can't help but make Sheng Xuan think of the existence of God.
As an empire that believes in the God of Light, no one has really seen the God of Light, so no one knows what the God is like, but they are constantly depicting the appearance of the God in their hearts, as well as their omnipotent divine power and incomparably huge body.
In a blink of an eye, the team has rushed to the foot of the Helmet Mountain, and at this time, when they look at the Helmet Mountain, they can see the curved stone walls above, building a strict attack, coupled with the steepness of the Helmet Mountain itself, it has become a strong fortress here.
20,000 people were stationed here, which suddenly made the mountain crowded and lively, slowly climbing up the steep mountain road, and the noise of the mercenaries in the camp kept coming out of his ears, but Sheng Xuan didn't seem to hear it at all, and he was sketching the situation of the entire fortress in his heart.
Suddenly, his heart moved, the stone walls built along the mountain, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the pattern on a huge helmet, could this really be the helmet of a god?
No one could give him an answer, and while he was thinking about it, Regg's voice came "What are you thinking?" "Ahhh Reg couldn't help but smile slightly, "I saw that you were a little distracted just now, so I asked, if you don't like to be stationed here, I'll tell Finney, let's change places." ā
"No, it's good here. As soon as he finished saying this, a piercing noise came, and Sheng Xuan couldn't help but look at the voice, only to see that a group of mercenaries had already scuffled in one place, and it was a scene of flesh and blood flying in an instant.
"Why is there such a mess here? doesn't anyone care?" Sheng Xuan couldn't help frowning, and Finney hurriedly said, "This is why the Norman general is reluctant to let the mercenaries be stationed in the pass, these mercenaries are used to being casual on weekdays, and the rules in the army can't restrain them at all, and they live a life of licking blood with knives on weekdays, as long as there is a slight disagreement, they will draw their swords against each other, so they simply arrange them to guard outside, but they will end up in ććć"
Before he finished speaking, Finney felt that something was wrong, after all, Sheng Xuan and the others were also mercenaries, didn't he say this with several people in a row, which couldn't help but make him blush, and hurriedly changed his words, "I don't mean anything else, I just said that these mercenaries are not easy to manage, but you Luoye is the most disciplined one I have ever seen." ā
In fact, he didn't need to explain, and it was impossible for a few people to pick him, and after the last turn, a group of people finally climbed the helmet mountain, and Finney quickly took a large number of them, only to see a man in the armor of an Omar sergeant slamming a pair of dominoes on the table, "It's really fucking back, I will lose this deck of cards." ā
"Give money and money, you kid won't have to pay again. A group of mercenaries on the side suddenly laughed, "Gerald, I'm afraid you're going to lose even your wife if you continue like this." "Lao Tzu will repay the debt, let you hairless boys open their eyes today and see what this is?" said and slapped a gold coin on the table, then flung off his sleeves and rubbed the dominoes fiercely, "Come again, I don't believe that I can't win you." ā
They were gambling for money, this was Finney's first impression, although he had received several mercenary groups to report here before, but he had never been up Helmet Mountain, this was the first time he had climbed up, but he saw such a scene.
He couldn't help but take a horse and walked over, and the horse's head almost hit the non-commissioned officer's head, which couldn't help but make the other party wave his hand very impatiently, "Get away from Lao Tzu, don't disturb Lao Tzu's interest, you look good if you are in a hurry." ā
Feeney's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but snort fiercely at the non-commissioned officer, "Bastard!" Feeney's loud shout suddenly surprised everyone, and the non-commissioned officer hurriedly looked up, and saw an officer in the captain's armor standing behind him, and the sturdy war horse was spraying a cloud of hot air on his face, and he couldn't help but hurriedly stand up, "Sir," he gave a military salute crookedly, but sprayed his mouth full of wine.
Finney showed a disgusted expression without concealing it, and fanned his hand next to his nose, "Go and call your chief, there is a mercenary group to report." ā
