The sky was blue and cloudless. Like sapphire in its purest form, it is clean and transparent.

At this time, the weather in the north of Ruman swept away the summer heat and began to gradually cool. Although the sun is still strong at noon, when it is time to go to bed at night, you have to cover yourself with a thin quilt.

It is the so-called golden wind that sends coolness, accumulating grass and hoarding grain.

In the past, the vast land was already full of farmers harvesting wheat, sweating like rain to reap the fruits of their labor for half a year.

These industrious farmers would fill their granaries with grain and then contentedly guard them through the long, cold winters of the northern Empire.

But this year, the land of the north is desolate.

Deserted towns and villages are everywhere. In addition, there are fields of black ash left after the fire burns.

The trees on both sides of the road were also blackened by the original fire, and even if they did not fall, they were all scorched yellow. It's like a fifty-year-old charter wife who deliberately dyed her yellow hair in order to catch up with fashion, and it was miserable.

The originally vibrant land has completely lost its life and vitality, and it is desolate and desolate.

The autumn wind blew across the earth with a whistling sound, rolling black ashes up the sky, and then falling flutteringly, sprinkling inside and outside the city of Weiji, like the black rain of the end of the earth.

The withered yellow earth outside the city has been replaced by a black-pressed barracks.

The demon generals besieged the city according to the most standard siege strategy.

The barracks, made up of wooden fences and tents, resembled a wide enclosure that surrounded the city on three sides, leaving no gap in between.

Only a huge gap remained in the direction of the south gate of Viji City, and a wide avenue led to the sky.

Although the road is smooth and smooth, it is like a sweet and delicious cheese on a mousetrap, and no matter how you look at it, you feel that it is full of dangers, and you dare not set foot on it.

Outside the city, in the camp in the north, the golden lightning banner of the Semitic tribe flew in the autumn wind, and the hunting sounded.

Orlandini stands under the flag. Staring at Weiji City, which was ten miles away, he was slightly worried in his heart, and muttered: "The famous city in the north really lives up to its reputation~!"

Against the backdrop of the mountains in the north, the figure of the nearby city of Weiji is particularly generous.

The walls were tall and strong, and deep trenches were dug under the city like spider's webs. Outside the moat, there are as many as several layers of barbed wire, like a ** array. Let people see. I can't help but feel a little numb on my scalp.

Orlandini sighed in his heart: the labyrinth outside the city alone was enough of a headache, and he didn't know how many Semitic soldiers' lives would have to be devoured to fill it.

And even if it was over the barbed wire fence and filled in the trenches. The moat was followed by an impassable wall.

What's more, there are also the tall fortresses that stand behind the city walls, and their tall figures are like mountain giants.

Even if the walls were breached, the Ruman soldiers would be able to enter these forts and hold on. It was like a nail firmly nailed to the city defense, making it difficult for the soldiers who attacked the city wall to advance an inch.

Behind several fortresses was the taller and more majestic fortress of Viji, which was also the governor's palace of Viji, and after the fall of the fortress, the fortress still could accommodate nearly 10,000 soldiers.

10,000 soldiers with sufficient food supplies. It can easily resist the attack of 100,000 people.

Like the city of Naidel in Lorraine, Viji was originally used as a military base for the expansion of the Rumans, and at the beginning of its construction, special emphasis was placed on military functions.

Together, these buildings form a well-established three-tier defense system. Even in a country like the Ruman Empire, which had strong human and financial resources, it took hundreds of years to build such a fortress city.

If you want to conquer this place, according to the experience of the past, it will not happen overnight. The city must be besieged for several years and completely emptied.

Orlandini certainly understood this, and his army of 500,000 might be able to capture Vizi, but that would have to cost a lot of casualties and a considerable amount of time.

It just so happened that both factors were Orlandini's shortcomings, and he couldn't afford to waste his soldiers and didn't have enough time to deal with the city.

The capital of the Ruman Empire, the city of Ruman, was his real goal.

"When will the fortress of war be arried?" said Orlandini, looking at the Lich Marcel. The expression is solemn.

"In two days. Tomorrow at the earliest, or the day after tomorrow. The hoarse voice of the lich Marcel said slowly, "Why, General, you can't wait?"

Orlandini snorted coldly and said, "It's always said that two days, two days." We are now all at the foot of the city of Viji. Even a turtle should have climbed to it. But there is still no sign of your fortress of war. ”

He paused, then added, "We can't wait any longer. It has to be done quickly. The order goes down, rests today, and prepares for the siege tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, he flicked his cloak vigorously and turned around and walked down the hill.

Marcel looked at his back, the green light in his eyes kept flashing, and he also snorted coldly.

Two days later, a hurried whistle sounded in the city.

Mohr, a soldier of the 5th Company of the 506th Regiment, opened his eyes in an instant, jumped up from the bed, quickly put on his boots, picked up the weapon leaning against the head of the bed, and ran out of the door.

Suddenly coming out of the dark and lightless fortress, Moore's eyes hurt in the bright sun, and he couldn't help but raise his head to cover his forehead, squinting his eyes to look north.

From the front, there was a loud sound of drums and trumpets, and the sound of war drums resounded throughout the land.

"The battle is about to begin~!" Moore muttered silently in his heart, and then quickly found his place in the line in front of the door and ran over quickly.

The officer blew the whistle in his hand, and seeing that the soldiers were almost assembled, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Fifth Company, follow me, go to the city wall to defend, quick, rabbit cubs, don't run like a girl." ”

Together with his comrades, Mohr ran up the stairs as fast as he could, standing behind the women's wall.

Looking at the Semitic army outside the city, Mohr suddenly took a breath.

How many are 500,000 people, Moore finally has a clear idea at this moment.

The outside of the city seemed to be flooded, and as far as the eye could see, there were black human heads everywhere.

"Oh my God, so much~!" The little soldier next to him, who had just joined the army for a short time, couldn't help but cry out in amazement, his face was a little ugly. At this moment, the total number of soldiers and civilians in Weiji City is only about 300,000, which is not as large as the number of Semitic soldiers.

When the officer heard this, he frowned, stepped forward and kicked the little soldier in the ass heavily, slapped him on the head again, and scolded loudly: "What are you afraid of, unless they have wings to fly over the city wall, otherwise they will all be slaughtered by us." You should be more worried about whether you will be relentless. ”

Moore sneered and sneered, "Recruit eggs." ”

"Demon War Fortress. Pay attention to concealment~!" A shout came from the rear.

"I" Moore scolded, and immediately crouched behind the female wall with his head in his hands, raised his head from the gap in the female wall, and searched the sky in front of him.

Several black war fortresses lined up. It was flying over the heads of the Semitic army and rushing towards the walls of Vizi.

Two minutes later, the undead's black war fortress hovered in the air less than a mile from Viji, knowing that there was nothing to threaten them.

Several black or green balls of light shot out from the fortress and smashed into the walls of Vizi.

At the same time, an impassioned trumpet sounded behind the Semitic army.

"Kill~!" the Semitic soldiers let out an earth-shattering cry and rushed towards the walls of Viji.

The dark spells shot by the magic cannon fell inside and outside the city walls, splashing large spots of light like rainflowers, and screams could be heard in the distance.

"God of Light bless~!" Moore muttered quietly, praying that he wouldn't be targeted by the damned necromancer. I hope that the dark mage in the war fortress of the undead clan will clearly realize that he is a small large-headed infantryman, and he is not worth the energy of a magic guide cannon.

After the first round of attacks, Wiji's walls were unscathed by the dark spell, and the undead war fortress couldn't help but move forward a little more, aiming at the north gate of Viji City.

Moore watched as several war fortresses slowly moved to his front, and his frightened heart rose to his throat. was so anxious that he scolded: "Why are you afraid of something." ”

I secretly regret it in my heart, it seems that I don't usually fall in love with the church, and the god of light doesn't seem to hear his pious prayers.

"Lao Tzu must pray every week from now on. Moore swore with a bitter face.

The officer also knew the danger, and shouted hysterically: "Enter the city tower, give the Lao Tzu into the city tower." ”

At that moment, a familiar screech of Mohr swept through the air above him.

Inside Nedel City, by noon, the mist that had shrouded the city had finally lifted.

Although it was a sunny day, there seemed to be a layer of condensation above the city's head. The sun and the sky were a little dark. There is also a smell of dust in the air.

But the residents of Naidel are used to the weather and air.

Due to the asymmetry of information, they do not realize that it is the environmental pollution of Yan zhòng.

On the contrary, as an outstanding representative of the ten most conscientious capitalists in the early stage of capitalist society, Lei Erye spent a lot of money and invited a large number of dead and plague students to wash his old man's land.

After the plague students took the money, they wrote poems and sang songs. Praise the chimneys that smoke billowing black, the polluted water, the air that chokes almost all the people can't breathe, and the thick fog.

Therefore, people all naively think that those are the signs of progress and technology, and represent a better life in the future.

As a newly industrialized city and a financial and commercial city, life in Nedel City is hurried and stressful, and there are almost no people strolling leisurely on the road, and everyone is in a hurry, using a popular proverb now, time is money.

One step slower, and the opportunity to make money is snatched away by others.

But today's Naidel Street is a different story.

The city's main thoroughfare was under martial law, and soldiers with spears in their hands and stern-faced expressions lined up in a human wall, blocking the intersection and preventing people from taking to the streets.

The streets were lined with Nedel citizens, young and old, rich and poor, pushing each other and poking their heads out to the end of the street, making a buzzing sound like a swarm of bees.

"Where are they?

"How long will it take?"

"That is, when will I see them?"

“......”

The citizens of Nedel seemed to be impatiently waiting for someone.

"It's coming, it's coming~!"

Someone in front of him suddenly shouted excitedly.

The crowd also shouted, "It's coming, it's finally here." ”

In the midst of their noise, I heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from the "...... of the Lu".

Followed by a group of black figures appeared at the intersection.

They lined up in a neat line and strode down Nader's main road.

The soldiers at the head held high the banner of the Flying Eagle Group, and the silver-gray eagle pattern fluttered in the wind.

Every twelve soldiers lined up in neat columns, column after column. It was as if there was an endless procession of people walking along Nedle's Great Road.

The soldiers wore black and silver uniforms and military caps, with a silver skull symbol in the center of the hat, indicating that they were soldiers of the Skeleton Division of the Flying Eagle Group Security Army.

The soldiers of the security army proudly tilted their heads and clenched their weapons as they strode through the crowd.

The residents of Nedel on both sides of the road burst into cheers.

"Go on~!"

"Kill all the demon pups. ”

"Slaughter those old bone sticks. ”

“......”

The men on both sides of the road waved their fists, desperately cheering for the security forces. Encourage them loudly. The girls waved their handkerchiefs enthusiastically. The children also screamed loudly.

Countless petals flew down from the sky, fluttering and falling to the ground, and then were mercilessly trampled by pairs of military boots, and finally mixed into the dirt.

Because there was a war in the north. Nai'an's army was also sent to the battlefield for reinforcements, and two divisions of the security forces were to carry all their light and heavy equipment to the battlefield.

Before they set out, Lorraine, many of the soldiers in the army were sons of Nai'an, arranged for them to hold an armed parade in the city of Nayder to show the prestige of the security forces and boost the morale of the people.

After the phalanx of soldiers strode past, followed by heavy equipment dragged by horses.

The elongated barrels of the cannon glowed blue in the sunlight.

Seeing this, the Nedel people couldn't help but hold their breath and look at these cold weapons with awe.

To these artillery pieces, which were called "gods of the battlefield". They're no strangers to each other.

Although it has been a long time, in the taverns and restaurants of Neyan, people still talk about the decisive battle of Prisca in which Lord Lorraine defeated Haddou.

Led by Lord Lorraine, the Ruman Empire defeated 70,000 rebels, including Haddou's army, and artillery played a decisive role in that battle.

In the farewell of the people on both sides, the security army walked through several main roads of Nedel with high spirits. Come to the Nai On Central Railway Station, located on the edge of the city.

The tall train was already waiting on the tracks, and the hot boiler was steaming white, ready to go.

The two big bosses of the Flying Eagle Group, Lord Lorraine and Chairman Leo, have been waiting here for a long time.

A brief farewell ceremony will be held at the railway station to see off the soldiers of the Security Army to the battlefield, which is also the first time that a large force of the Security Army has left Nai An to fight.

Immediately the whistle sounded "doo" in the station, and the officers shouted: "All get on the train and get ready to go." ”

Soldiers of the Security Forces under the guidance of station staff. Walking quickly onto the train, the order was unexpected, busy but not chaotic, showing that the security forces were well-trained.

Lorraine silently looked at the soldiers who were hurrying past in front of him, his eyes complicated.

Chairman Leo sighed faintly, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "There are such parents on the stall." It's really not worry-free. ”

Lorraine patted Chairman Leo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, although your father is a little bastard, he is still very good at fighting." Besides, we have a secret weapon.

I think you should start thinking about how the Semitic are going to pay us war reparations, grandma, this war is a big one. ”

As soon as he mentioned taking advantage, the haze in Chairman Leo's heart immediately disappeared, and all his thoughts were instantly devoted to the money-making plan, muttering to himself: "It's not good to ask for money, after the war, their finances should also go bankrupt, and they can only ask for things...... What is the value of Semitic?

Jewelry and diamonds are not good, that thing is to coax women to make money, the mineral value is not high, and there is nothing special besides, real estate, magic crystals?"

Just as Chairman Leo was meditating, a middle-aged man wearing a gray turned-up military coat led a group of officers to Lorraine, touched his heels, saluted with a "snap", and said loudly: "My lord." ”

Lorraine returned the salute and said, "General Paternos, have a good trip." Cooperate well with the Grand Duke. ”

"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness is my old superior. Paternos puffed up his chest and said confidently: "The enemy army is not to be afraid, not to mention that we have new equipment." ”

General Paternos's eyes glanced at the train, which was covered with tarpaulin, and he smiled knowingly, "The Semites must be surprised. ”

The soldiers of the security army were also very curious about the tightly wrapped things on the board, and they walked past and glanced at them carefully.

As soon as they set off, they received gossip that the whimsical madmen of the Alchemy Research Institute of the Flying Eagle Group had developed a powerful new weapon, giving priority to equipping the skeleton divisions they were preparing to go to battle.

But what exactly this weapon is, few people know.

Looking at the shape of the tarpaulin, the soldiers couldn't help but guess what was underneath, but they had no clue, and the soldiers thought that the biggest possibility was a new type of artillery.

Lorraine glanced at the mysterious weapon in Paternos's mouth, and smiled leisurely, when the people from the Alchemy Research Institute said that they had developed this weapon, Lorraine was also startled, but immediately became very excited, and the first one was to take the Semitic people to open the knife, just to actually test the performance of the new weapon.

The train blew its whistle, and a loud "whin" sounded in mind, and with the sound of "snort", a white steam car erupted from the front of the locomotive, enveloping the entire front of the locomotive.

"Let's go. Lorraine withdrew her gaze, looked at Paternos, and said, "I wish you all a speedy victory." ”

Paternos gave a solemn salute, turned and strode onto the train.

The departure bell rang, and the steel wheels creaked slowly on the rails, dragging the wagons full of soldiers and equipment and began to move slowly.

The sound of "boom boom" turned from full to fast, and the speed of the train became faster and faster, and it drove out of the station under the gaze of Lorraine and Leo.

Seeing the train disappear outside the station, Lorraine raised his hand and patted Chairman Leo's shoulder and said, "Let's go, we should be ready, maybe I will have to go north in a few days." ”

Since Archduke Julius personally led a large army to Ruman, Lorraine knew that he could not stay idle in Nieder City forever, and that he would soon find his own place on the battlefield in the north.
