Prepare for battle
"Hah!"
Yanan swallowed the viscous lava-like liquor into his throat with all his might, and a white mist slowly rose from the top of his head.
"The wine of this plateau is really strong, eldest sister! Two more glasses. ”
Alfred held a wooden cup larger than his head, and the mellow liquor ignited the man's passion.
"I, I've got enough, I want it, I can't do it." Yanan hurriedly waved his hand.
"The two little brothers have just come to Changqing." A stout woman in an apron held a dozen beers in a circle, and then placed the last two on the table.
"Do we have different accents?" Yanan was curious.
"No, little brother, the men of the plateau don't surrender after just having a drink."
Yanan's face flushed.
"What's the big sister kidding?" Alfred pushed the glass in front of Yanan. Prove the charm of a man to the eldest sister.
Tons and tons of tons. Alfred poured his head up. Yanan also raised his glass and drank bitterly.
"Hahaha, the two little brothers are very charming."
"Come, eldest sister, take a look at what a man is." Alfred put down his glass.
"Hiccup, big sister has, Hiccup, gone." Yanan's eyes were misty. "Come on, let's go one more."
"Here, cheers." Alfred raised his glass.
"Sister, two more drinks here!"
Yanan actually doesn't like to drink. The pungency of the alcohol made him feel very uncomfortable, but the highland wine made him feel a mellow aroma, which rushed to the top of his head under the stimulation of alcohol. He seemed to understand what elixir was.
The two of them staggered into the carriage and slept until the deputy commander Vasily personally called them to a meeting.
When I arrived in the conference room, the table was already full. Except for No. 19 and the deputy commander, most of the guards who came to the meeting Yanan didn't know each other.
After a silent hello to Andrea, Yanan and Alfred leaned against the wall.
"This time it's my personal commission." The commander said, biting on his cigarette.
"The Evergreen Fortress is short of troops and needs our help from the sidelines."
The captain looked around.
"If you can't attend, you can tell me."
Still silent.
Is this a ghost meeting? Yanan slandered.
"If there is no problem." The captain took a deep puff of his cigarette and spat it on the roof.
"Then disband."
A group of black-clothed people sat at the table, neither receiving instructions nor responding, and left separately, Yanan was still in the clouds.
"Yanan, Alfred." Deputy Commander Vasily stopped the two.
"Here!"
"Now you have been temporarily assigned to Army Group North as a mobile unit, and the specific combat orders will be given to you by your current military commander." The deputy commander gave specific instructions.
"You have to report to the command post of the 29th Battalion of the 263rd Regiment of the 87th Division of the 1st Army within an hour."
"Wait a minute, Deputy Commander, such a big army..."
"Yes, we'll go right away."
Yanan was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Alfred.
"Now we are no longer security guards, everything is done according to military regulations. Hurry up and pack your things. "It's the first time Alfred has been so serious.
Time was pressing, and Yanan didn't know what to bring for a while, so he just packed his usual weapons and equipment and a change of clothes and prepared to set off.
Alfred, on the other hand, brought all sorts of bottles and cans, as well as two large bags of tinkling packages.
It's yours, Alfred handed the backpack to Yanan, who took the arm and sank down.
The two left the train and asked left and right, and after various cross-examinations, they finally arrived at the station of the 1st Battalion in the last five minutes, and entered the conference room under the leadership of the sentry.
"Train 1064 Guard Alfred! Yanan! Come and report. ”
At the head of the long table, a thin, white-haired young man slowly raised his head.
"I'm Ramon, the commander of the 1st Battalion. Franklin, are you two mobile units sent by the regimental headquarters to support? ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Then take a seat."
Under the watchful eyes of the officers, the two sat at the end of the long table.
"This time, the 263rd Regiment is the vanguard of the whole army, we have to withstand the impact of the monster, and then counterattack into the monster's territory."
Ramon waved a red pin to a high ground on the battle map.
"The goal of our battalion is to establish a stronghold here, and then wait for the next order."
Yanan had no military command training, and on the battle map, he could only understand the high ground to be held on, high in the north and low in the south, located behind the other two high grounds, and if the attack went well, it would be a good stronghold.
"Judging from the situation of our current battles, we can only defend with the help of the heavy firepower of the fortress, and we have no spare strength to counterattack." 3rd Company Commander Sanjes was a little worried.
"You don't have to worry about that." Ramon waved his hand.
"The regimental headquarters has distributed a purification team and 40 meteors to our battalion this time, as well as 80 light and heavy shaft guns, and you will take someone to Colin to get them."
"What?"
"The regiment headquarters is so generous this time?"
"Demon Armor, I haven't seen it a few times except for training."
"This time, I can completely drive those monsters back!"
Before Ramon could finish speaking, the officers below were already excited.
Although they were all equipment that Yanan couldn't understand, seeing the excited appearance of these soldiers, Yanan could guess the strength of these weapons.
"Silence!"
Deputy battalion commander Colin slammed the table.
A group of excited men suddenly fell silent.
"This time, two commissioners sent by the regimental headquarters will work with us as a mobile unit, and I believe that these two commissioners will be able to provide us with great help."
The soldiers at the table turned their heads to greet Yanan and the others.
"Thank you Battalion Commander Ramon for your high hopes for us, and we will definitely do our best to cooperate with your army's operation. Alfred returned. ”
Ramon nodded, pointing to a strong man with brown complexion: "This is the commander of the 3rd Company, Sanjies, the two of you will be under the command of the commander of Sanjies in the next operation, and the third company is a famous sharp knife company of our 263rd Regiment, I hope you can cooperate sincerely." ”
Yanan and Alfred shook hands with Sanjes, only to stand up and find that the giant man was two meters tall.
After the meeting, Yanan and the others followed Sanjes to the Third Company station.
After briefly explaining some of the forbidden things in the army, Sanjes left Yanan and Alfred in the second platoon's camp. The two are temporarily staying in a double room.
Because he learned in advance of the army's plan to defend and counterattack, Yanan did not clean up the room, but simply tidied up, and went with Alfred to visit the defensive area of the second platoon.
Enter an underground troop transport through the inner wall bunker to reach the inside of the outer city wall. Ascending to the top of the wall, Yanan found out.
The entire Evergreen Fortress is held between two mountains, and the north side is a cliff. At the extreme of the eye was an endless purple falling ice field, and a purple mist rose from the sky.
The 263rd Regiment also seems to have just been transferred to garrison, and the soldiers on the city walls are inspecting the fortifications and counting the weapons and equipment. No one paid attention to the two of them next to the women's wall.
"Will the monsters come from the north?" Yanan asked, leaning against the women's wall.
"Yes, monsters have emerged from that purple ice field since five hundred years ago, and ordinary avalanches have swallowed the entire northern side of the continent."
"Sounds very weak."
Alfred looked at the purple curtain of light across the sky, his gaze seemingly able to cross the horizon.
"Monsters are endless, and so is grit."
Over the next few days, Alfred began to teach Alfred some combat alchemy bottles. The inside of these bottles has been inscribed with alchemical formulas and filled with materials. Throwing it in battle can be launched, and they are some very practical techniques. There were also potions like hunter's blood, which Alfred taught Anan as much as he could in a few days.
Yanan and Alfred go to the barracks cafeteria early in the morning, and because they don't need to participate in training, they often choose to wait until the soldiers have finished breakfast.
Several men in robes caught Yanan's attention, and they entered the interior of the city walls under the guidance of the officers.
That's the alchemist, and some of the most powerful heavy weapons in the war need to be tuned by the alchemist. Without waiting for Yanan to ask, Alfred answered.
Yanan's curiosity was aroused, and he pulled Alfred and followed.
"How is it possible for us to see both of these military secrets."
Alfred didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist Yanan, so he could only go with him.
Sure enough, Yanan was stopped outside by the guards.
"I told you that you don't listen, this is a military camp and not an academic exhibition." Alfred, who had been delayed from breakfast, was full of resentment and followed behind and began to break his thoughts.
"I know, who doesn't have a first time." Yanan turned his head to comfort him.
A cold breath blew across his face, and Yanan subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the knife.
Turning his head, Yanan felt his eyes glaze.
A team of plate knights passed by Yanan, the breastplate was densely covered with red luster lines, the knights' steps were heavy, and the muffled sound of heavy objects was made when they stepped on the ground, and Yanan could still hear the friction of gears.
The group of knights, armed with axes and guns, slowly walked to the end of the corridor.
"What's that?"
"Magic armor, used to arm elite soldiers."
Yanan sensed danger from this team of armor, and the soldiers who wore this armor could pose a great threat to ordinary transcendentals.
Mortals rebel against the armies of the kingdom of God.
Walking out of the city to the top of the wall, the sun on the plateau pierced his eyes for a while. Yanan seemed to see the snow falling on the mountains in the distance, pouring towards the fortress.
"Is there an avalanche on the mountain over there?"
"Nope." Alfred's voice trembled slightly.
"It's them coming."
