Chapter 701: Gifts
[Today I went back to my parents' house with my wife, and after two days, I found that my Niuniu received a lot of benefits, all kinds of envy~~]
Zero's jihua is flexible and mobile, and others can't think of a more haode strategy, so naturally no one opposes it. Next, Zero will discuss the various details of Jihua with you and gradually revise them. In the end, Jihua was determined, and this Jihua was divided into two parts, and it could be carried out together.
On one side, Franklin was responsible for the transfer of troops and supplies, and set up defenses in the three positions designated by Zero on the Eternal Mountains. On the other side, Zero led the team, bringing Su, Kaede, Yeliu, Manshan and Hook to find trouble with the Knights.
This high-ranking team is mainly responsible for scouting the enemy and causing some trouble for the Knights, delaying them while trying to weaken their liliang. As for the trouble problem, the chosen guys are eager to try, and they can't wait to fly to the front line now.
After the meeting, Zero left Franklin behind.
"There's a gift for you. Zero smiled.
Franklin was obviously a little surprised, and Zero called the guards, and after a few words, the guards nodded and left. It didn't take long. A dozen or so soldiers carried in two large ones, two tower shields, each two meters high. The surface of the shield is an irregular prism that serves to disperse energy-like attacks. AS FOR PHYSICAL BLOWS, THE SHIELD IS MADE OF ALLOY ARMOR WITH A THICKNESS OF 15 CM, WHICH CAN WITHSTAND EVEN HEAVY ARTILLERY SHELLS HEAD-ON. When the shield was lowered to the ground, the command room shook, and it was obvious that the shield was very heavy.
Zero introduced: "This is the weapon I asked the arsenal over there to order for you, and each shield weighs about 2 tons. They're nothing special, they're hard enough, they're heavy enough! I call them iron. ”
"Iron Wall?" Franklin grinned, picking up two shields and waving them twice. Without using any of his abilities, just the most primitive Liliang caused the two shields to generate suffocating gales between swings.
After a few auditions, Franklin nodded, "Good fellow, I like it." ”
Even for a Liliang-type powerhouse, it was a bit reluctant to use a shield with a total of 4 tons. But the giant Franklin is just right to use, the giant itself tends to excellent liliang and defense, coupled with this pair of shields "iron wall", Franklin is the well-deserved number one meat shield in the zero team. The walls were heavy enough for Franklin to easily smash a tank if he used it.
Franklin was quite satisfied with the Zero gift, and after saying "xiexie", he went to the square to tighten the time and familiarize himself with the weight of the iron wall and how to use it. After the deputy captain left, he reviewed some documents and issued some important orders from the previous meeting in the form of documents, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of the transfer work.
In the afternoon, after lunch, Zero set off with the advanced level he had previously selected. Those who were not chosen followed Franklin and took full control of the giant's command until Zero did not return. This made Haiwei quite depressed, and the girl actually wanted to go with her, but she was sent away with a sentence of "I'll take you if you go up to the eighth order".
Haiwei vows that she will go all out in the next battle in order to generate enough evolution points to advance.
The girl was full of energy, so Franklin didn't mind assigning more work to her, much of it manual. It can be seen that Franklin is not only big, but also has a good head, and fully understands what it means to make the best use of things.
While the entire Canon fortress was boiling over with urgent mobilization, the army group in the Papal Hall advanced slowly for another two hundred kilometers. The reason why the march was suddenly slowed down was that Commander Frank had suggested that "by the time we arrived, the soldiers were exhausted, and our enemies were waiting for leisure."
Although Jafidi thought that he could best meet the enemy by arriving at Mesa City and resting, Frank was very adamant about it. The level of stubbornness of the 9th Regiment would have been such that if Jafidi had not known Frank, he would have almost thought that the commander of the 9th Regiment was on the side of the enemy. Leo unexpectedly voted in favor of Frank's suggestion, and today's march became what it is now.
The commander's decision also surprised the soldiers of the Order, but the march was easy with only two hundred kilometers a day, and the soldiers were happy to do so. So after three days, the group army took a distance that could normally be covered in one day.
Before the evening came, the army found a relatively open flat land near the bloodstained road and set up camp, and when dusk came, the smoke curled in the barracks, and Jafidi shook his head. Slowing down the march will cause the soldiers to lose their sense of urgency, which in turn will make them lose their fighting spirit. Whether an army has fighting spirit or not is a completely different matter, and Jafidi doesn't know how much combat power this army will be able to exert when it reaches the Canon Fortress.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something, and when he looked in the direction of the left, he saw an incomparably dazzling bald head.
Frank.
The commander of the 9th regiment smiled and waved his hand at him, and Yafidi "hummed" from his nostrils and turned to leave.
Frank touched his chin with his hand and smiled faintly as he looked at Yafidi's back. How could he not know what this handsome captain was thinking, but as he had said to Hanok, for him or the "master" behind it, it didn't matter which side won, what mattered was that there were enough people killed in this war.
It was a multifaceted issue, and among the many messages conveyed to him by the dark and grand will, the key word "prison" was highlighted. The messages were obscure, and with Frank's ability, he could only roughly understand that life was the most crucial thing that made up the prison. Human beings, on the other hand, stand above all living beings and are the cornerstone of the prison.
The more humans die, the more fragile the prison becomes. When this value reaches a certain critical point, it is the time when the master comes out of trouble.
Of course, Frank knew the drawbacks of slowing down his march, but it was exactly what he needed. He didn't want to send an elite army to Canon Fortress, as long as it was evenly matched. The Knights' army group already has a numerical advantage, so why not sacrifice some morale.
His decision was undoubtedly correct, because when he made this "suggestion", Leo clearly wanted to oppose it. But the master paid more attention to him, so that in an instant, Leo's will was completely overpowered, and he agreed to this decision, which made Jafidi extremely angry.
Frank knew better that when Leo's will was overpowered, the old leader had no chance to resist his master's will.
"This idiot, when he surrenders, he will find out how stupid he was before. Frank looked at the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon: "When the master comes, everything in this land will be cleared." Only loyal servants like us will be spared, Leo, and you'll be glad you didn't make it to the end. ”
Haha smiled, and the bald head of the regiment in a happy mood turned around and walked into the tent.
It's dark.
The arrangement of the barracks was regular, and the soldiers' marching tents were distributed on the periphery of the camp, layered on top of each other. In the center is the parking spot for mechs and vehicles, as well as the tents of the three corps commanders. The mecha chariot parking spot is divided into several areas. Each area is guarded by a team of 20 soldiers, divided into two shifts to patrol in turn.
Rook was one of the soldiers on duty now, and he was technically a recruit to the Knights' Reserve. In fact, more than half of the soldiers in this seemingly huge army group are reserve recruits from various cities. Just like Rook, he is only 21 years old this year, which is the age of youth and enthusiasm. Becoming a soldier, especially a regular soldier of the Knights, can be said to be the dream of most young people on the Western Continent.
Rook joined the Cadet Corps at the age of 15 and was successfully drafted as a reserve soldier at the age of 18 and underwent rigorous training. Now in his third year, if all goes well, he will be able to graduate from the boot camp at the beginning of next year and officially become a member of the Knights. It's just that to Luke's surprise, such an opportunity came early.
Sauron issued the largest assembly order in the Western Continent in the past ten years in New Rome, and the reserve soldiers in the major cities were almost exhausted. Like so many recruits, Luke walked out of the barracks to Rome in a daze, and then, after a few mobilization meetings, enthusiastically pounced on the bloodstained road, all the way south.
Recruits like Rook, who only know that the filthy and despicable pirates captured the Canon Fortress, are now on behalf of the side of justice and justice to suppress the rebels. After several mobilization meetings, Luke's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he was eager to go on the field immediately to kill the enemy and build an offensive career.
But now, the extremely slow march for several days in a row filled the minds of the recruits like Luke. I even suspect that the Papal Chamber no longer values this war so much, so what is the point of going to the front line by yourself?
But Rook didn't have time to dwell on tonight, he was now fully armed, patrolling around his area to make sure that the ten paladin mechs under his nose were safe and sound. At this time, someone said hello, it was El from the same village. The two talked in a low voice, nothing more than complaining about the slowness of the march and imagining the good days of becoming full-fledged soldiers.
El threw a cigarette to Luke, and soon after, two red lights appeared in the darkness.
Taking a drag on his cigarette, Rook felt better. He casually looked towards the camp, the space in front of him seemed to distort slightly, he rubbed his eyes, and everything went on as usual.
"What?" El asked.
Luke didn't answer, and walked straight forward. found that there was no abnormality, so he turned back to El and said, "Probably I was wrong, I ...... just now"
Suddenly, Luke couldn't say a word. Before his eyes, El looked listening. But a black thread trembled slightly around his neck, and El's head bounced, but he still didn't feel it at all!
