Chapter 677: Qiao Xuan's Revenge (4)
Northwest of the Empire, easternmost of the Rann Corridor.
The railroad tracks are like dragons, stretching from here to the heart of the empire.
The head of the huge steam locomotive spewed white mist and made a dull roar, and an elongated military column hung behind it.
There are three steam locomotives in the front and rear, which is enough to ensure that the military train has enough power.
Therefore, the length of these military columns was lengthened to more than one hundred and fifty knots.
According to the extreme loading method of the Delen Imperial Army, each carriage can be stuffed with nearly 300 soldiers at most, and such a military column can fit more than 40,000 soldiers crazily.
A group of highland warriors with a strong smell of sheep on their bodies, wearing brand-new uniforms, wearing standard dragon scale armor forged from stainless steel, and holding advanced flintlock rifles that had just left the factory, grinned and laughed on the military column.
As soon as each column was filled with soldiers, the locomotive let out a high-pitched whistle, and with a roar of 'boom, boom, boom', the train slowly drove away from the newly built military station, gradually accelerated, and then marched with all its strength towards the south of the empire.
It's not just Highlanders.
In addition, soldiers from the Republic of Gaul and hundreds of countries in the hinterland of the Medland continent are constantly passing through the Rhine Corridor and marching to the south of the empire with the help of military columns here.
Regardless of the cost, the wear and tear, and the physical and mental health of these soldiers, the multinational coalition from the military station of the Lanyin Corridor 'only needed' more than two months of day and night to reach the port of Tulum.
For several months, all civilian trains on the main railway artery that traverses the north and south of the empire have stopped running.
On this railway, there are only military trains running day and night, one trip after another.
The military columns, which were moving from the north to the south, were loaded with soldiers and ordnance.
The military columns traveling from the south to the north were filled with body bags.
A military column was whizzing south.
In the open-top carriages, each carriage was filled with highland warriors ranging from three to five, and in addition, the carriages were densely packed with gray, cyan, and yellow giant wolves.
The wolves roared in a low voice, huddled in the carriage in discomfort.
The carriage shook violently, and these giant wolves had never been on a train, let alone enjoyed such a long-distance train day and night.
Most of the giant wolves were a little motion sick, they stretched out their tongues, rolled their eyes and curled up on the ground, and many of the giant wolves' bodies were convulsing.
If it weren't for the bullet pressure of these extraordinary warriors from the Wolf Temple, these giant wolves would have fled.
According to the news from the port of Tulum, these fierce wolves are very useful in the war against the creatures of the abyss - they are good cannon fodder troops, and they effectively reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
Therefore, there are several other top powers in the Delen Empire, and the queen of the highlanders has made a deal that is satisfactory to both parties.
In addition to providing soldiers to join the war against the abyss, the highlanders also frantically searched for wolves on the plateau and sent the wolves to the port of Tulun to participate in the war.
A full-grown giant wolf, even the weakest, can sell for a good price of one gold mark.
Poor Highlanders...... Hehe, they have earned tens of millions of gold marks in the past few months. One can imagine how many giant wolves they have sent to the battlefield!
In front of the military column, at the edge of the woods, a white-bearded old man wearing a strange triangular hat, a pale cyan python robe, and a wooden staff quietly looked at the approaching military column.
When he was more than a mile away, he raised his left hand and recited a mantra softly.
There was a loud bang.
The entire column disintegrated in an instant.
The front and rear six steam locomotives were evenly shattered into the tiniest parts, and in each carriage, all the rivets, screws and formwork were neatly and evenly dispersed.
In the carriage, tens of thousands of giant wolves and hundreds of plateau soldiers who accompanied them screamed and flew forward with the momentum of the military column, and then smashed into the same crumbling railway track foundation.
Everywhere there was the sound of human and wolf bones shattering, broken parts tearing through fragile flesh and blood spilling the ground.
A dozen miles ahead of the attacked military train, a train full of elite soldiers of the Republic of Gaul was similarly attacked. The entire train shattered, and tens of thousands of soldiers who were paralyzed by the crowding did not react at all, and slapped on the roadbed with the momentum.
Tens of thousands of soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and few were able to stand up.
And in the back, a military column loaded with large-caliber field guns and shells also disintegrated out of thin air.
Field guns rolled on the ground, shells hit the ground.
The shells exploded one after another, and the firelight and loud noises were clearly visible and audible even from dozens of miles away.
Almost at the same time, on the thousand-mile-long railway line, more than 100 galloping military trains were attacked at the same time.
The military column completely collapsed, the personnel suffered heavy casualties, a large number of ordnance was burned, and a large group of giant wolves with the ability to move lost their restraint and fled in all directions, posing a huge threat to the people of the towns along the route.
North of the port of Tulum, the headquarters of the coalition forces.
In the huge battle hall, a group of high-ranking coalition forces looked at the urgent mail sent from the rear, and their faces were gloomy.
Joe took the original of the urgent mail and carefully examined it word by word again.
More than 100 military trains were attacked, and the soldiers and ordnance materials urgently needed on the front line of Tulun Port were lost, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded, and the ordnance and materials were almost completely destroyed.
The strength of the attackers was extremely strong, and the epics and legends of the two military special trains, before they could even see what the enemy looked like, were seriously wounded and knocked down, more than thirty tons of gold coins were robbed, and nearly a billion gold marks of banknotes were burned.
Margrethe III's composure resounded through the hall.
"Dear gentlemen, you little bastards, you must understand one thing, now, we are in the same boat...... The goal of the abyss is to destroy all of Medland. ”
"At this time, there shouldn't be any intrigue within us."
"We can only get through this together."
"So, who did this? Well? ”
The high-ranking leaders of the Ice Sea Kingdom, the United Kingdom of Nice, the Kingdom of St. Chia, the Republic of Gaul, the Lucian Empire, and the two major churches present shook their heads.
In this matter, they dare to touch their conscience and say that it has nothing to do with them!
As Margrethe III had said, the Abyss's goal was to destroy Medland, and they weren't stupid enough to attack the main artery of communication at this time, and at the same time take out hundreds of laden columns.
A general of the Gallic Republic muttered with a gloomy face: "It's definitely not us, there are 200,000 of our elites in those special trains...... Bastard ......"
An intelligence officer of the Delen Empire hurried into the hall.
He handed a secret copy to Margrethe III.
Margrethe III took the secret letter and glanced at it, the expression on her face becoming extremely ...... Surreptitious.
