Chapter 1540: The Hunter - Marshall
"Deputy Chief, the defenders of Fort Shelley still refuse to surrender. "The men who had gone to negotiate with Shelley came back and reported to Berwick that they had disguised themselves as pirates and had been known to be chiefs to the outside world. The man said, "The defender of the city, Justitia, also said, 'If you have the courage, you will attack the city, don't talk nonsense, and when his reinforcements come, they will kill us and throw away our armor." ”
"Haha. Berwick, the Armorer, laughed loudly with the blazing golden sword at his waist, "Those who are obsessed with their own world are always unable to know the vastness of the outside. He still lives in the glory of his ancestors, thinking that the current Asantania is still the same as the former Asantania. ”
"But the deputy chief, our siege armament has not yet kept up, and it will be a heavy loss to force the attack, and ......" The speaker glanced around, stepped forward and said: "And these gathered soldiers of the kingdom army, let them chase and fight the poor Kou, let them desperately attack the city, they don't have that guts." ”
Berwick said, "I know. ”
These armies are too corrupted, military expenses are deducted layer by layer, the soldiers are not trained enough, and even their officers are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can the soldiers below have combat effectiveness. But it will have to wait a few more days for the siege ordnance to arrive, and then the reinforcements from Asantania will arrive, and the battle under Fort Shelley will become a fierce battle.
Berwick thought about it for a moment, and said to himself, "Although it is not a problem to take Shelleyburg, I don't like to delay it for too long. If Marshall had been here, things would have been much easier. ”
"Are you talking about me, Berwick, I hear you call my name. ”
A woman's voice rang out, and Berwick turned his head to see someone with brown over-the-shoulder hair. On the left side of his face, he wears a metal mask that covers half of his eyes, a blue and green cloth coat, a low-cut crop top, and a black leather jacket, which is exactly the hunter Marshall he talks about.
"Why are you here?"
"Didn't you think of me, and I came when I heard your call. Marshall, an old subordinate of Berwick, spoke without the politeness of his subordinates, and said: "The situation in the rear has basically stabilized, and there is no problem with a leader in charge." Fried was worried that you would have problems leading these motley troops in battle, so he asked me to support you. ”
Berwick raised an eyebrow and asked, "You brought the troops here?"
"No, it's so tight right now. How do you draw it?"
Berwick expected that. Not disappointed. During this period of time, they controlled a lot of places and countries, and they needed people in the army to hold important positions in order to really control the army and train them, so they couldn't draw troops at all. He said, "Marshall." You came just in time. There's a task I want you to do. ”
"You need me to infiltrate Shelleyburg. Destroy the mechanism formation of the city defense?"
Berwick smiled happily: "You are the only one who can complete this task." ”
"I knew it. Marshall agreed, "Let me prepare, and I'll do it when it's dark." ”
At night, the crescent moon is shining. Shelley Fort is lonely and dangerous. Outside the city, there are high guard towers and secret sentinels, which guard several main roads up the mountain. Marshall climbed the most lonely and steep cliff with his flying hook, which led directly to the right side of Shelleyburg, where the mountain was the weakest guard.
As you approach the top of the cliff, a searchlight beam shines from the opposite side of the cliff, preventing even the weakest point from the enemy's army from climbing the cliff. Marshall had already observed the pattern of the searchlight of the beam, and before the light could be swept away, the turquoise cloth on her body had changed color, and at the same time emitted many filaments that wrapped her into a rock with green grass and moss. She knew that it was a state of war, and there would definitely be a dark post on the top of the cliff, so she was extra careful, and even the rope hooks she brought with her were dyed the color of the cliff rocks.
After the light shone, Marshall reverted to her form, and she was extremely light and flexible and rolled up the wall, without a sound from her hands or feet. After climbing a few more meters, she suddenly stopped and lowered her breathing, clinging to the cliff wall, her body frozen like a statue, but her flexible eyes observed every place within her vision. Sure enough, she found one, and skillfully bypassed the observation range of the dark whistle, and continued to climb up unconsciously.
When you reach the top of the cliff, take the hook back. In order to facilitate observation, Shelley Fort cut down all the trees and woods nearby, and at this moment there was a searchlight from the nearby city wall, and Marshall immediately threw himself on the ground, and lowered himself into a large stump, which was mixed with other stumps.
The searchlight swept back and forth, and two long-legged dogs led by Rohmin patrolled along the edge of the cliff outside the sweeping aperture, and the dogs' sense of smell did not even smell her.
With a military town like Fort Shelley, what level of strict defense Marshall has already studied, and demonic beasts such as patrol dogs are almost necessary, so she has already made preparations, and before she came, she applied a secret ointment on her body to cover the smell of the human body.
After the patrol dog walked away, she did not appear, but still slowly advanced in the form of a stake. After moving more than twenty meters, she was close to the city wall, and she was about to speed up, when she suddenly saw a big stone near her move, and quickly stopped. Because the moonlight was too dark, only the stone could be faintly seen, and a soldier came out from behind the stone, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a camouflaged bunker under the big stone.
Marshall secretly said in his heart: "The defense here is really strict, and there are bunkers set up in the direction of the cliffs, if no one attacks from under the cliffs, the bunkers here are basically useless." This Shelley Fort has been around for many years, and the places I didn't expect must be very well guarded, so I have to be careful. ”
Because many of the countries before this were deserted, the soldiers were degenerate, and there was not much resistance at all, until they finally encountered a decent military fortress.
The soldier who came out of the bunker had come out to pee, and after walking a few steps in the direction of the cliff, he saw a large stump, and when he saw a large stump, he unbuttoned his pants to sprinkle, and at the same time made a puzzled sound, remembering when there was an extra large stump in this position. Before he could think about it, Marshall, who had turned into a stake, suddenly got up, covered the soldier's mouth, knocked him unconscious, and dragged him back to the bunker under the stones.
This bunker is a magic bunker with a magic array control zhì inside, which can drive the three cannon ports above to fire magic bullets. Marshall didn't kill him. At this time, killing him and waiting for the demonic beast in his body to guard it is not good. Hiding the soldier in the bunker, he sneaked out again and crept under the wall.
There are traps under the walls, and there are traps on the walls, this is an old trick, Marshall is good at infiltrating and cracking the traps, otherwise Berwick would not have sent her. She looked at the wall and said disdainfully, "The flip trap is too difficult for me." ”
At this time, the searchlight swept back and forth, and through the searchlight, Marshall saw that the two dog-leading soldiers who had just patrolled the past also came. With a turn of thought, he deliberately touched the flap trap in front of him, and turned over against the camouflaged board. Through a brief glance when the flap was flipped, there were no inverted spears under this trap a few meters deep, but there were many small holes, and there was a magic array on the wall.
Counting the time, and estimating that the patrol soldiers above had already passed, Marshall turned the flap again, turned it up, looked up at the searchlight on the tower of the city wall, and threw out the flying hook. As she climbed, she carefully avoided the mechanism that might be triggered, and when she reached the top of the wall, she touched a three-brick wall, and three sharp spears burst out of the hole in the wall, and slowly retracted. Marshall stepped on the retracting iron spear and climbed the city wall, and after a few quick steps, the cat leaped into the city.
Fort Shelley was built for military purposes, and the topography and buildings in the city were carefully planned, and before attacking here, Berwick had obtained a sketch of the layout of the buildings in the city, and Marshall had a careful look at it when he came, and he could also roughly understand the layout of the city. As she stalked carefully around the city, she summoned her guardian, a blue, curly-haired, slightly chubby cat.
