Chapter 182: The Storm (3)

The raindrops hit the roof, as if countless people were stamping their feet on the roof, according to the time, it should be noon, but the sky is still gray, and the heavy rain curtain obscures people's vision.

Wayne and his party gathered around the fire, their wet hair dripping from time to time. Apparently just came out of the outside.

After a few chills, they all gradually eased up.

This time, they returned from the outer city, and between the original two city walls, Wayne used magicians and civilian laborers to build a shelter that could accommodate most of the people. It can be regarded as alleviating the current situation.

It's worry-free at the moment, but in five days there will be a problem. Grain!

Although after the transportation at any cost a few days ago, in the face of the huge masses in the imperial capital, this bit of food is still far from enough.

Now that the rain is so heavy, it is difficult to bring in food from outside.

Wayne spoke.

"The problem is obvious, food. If we don't have enough food in five days, we will starve to death in the tens of thousands. ”

Sitting there were Rune's great bachelors, rare great magicians, and Wayne's proud henchman Evans. But everyone stared at the stove in a daze, and their brows were tightly knit and could not be released.

No one spoke this time, and no one cared if Wayne would be embarrassed. The oppressive atmosphere fills the air invisibly.

Nolan, Fran is also sad at the moment. Sending food to the imperial capital has become his most difficult task at the moment, but not to mention the imperial capital, even the surrounding cities he can't touch.

He mixed the red beans with the mung beans and picked out the mung beans one by one. But the more you get to the end, the more irritated you become. Fran finally smashed the two porcelain bowls to the ground.

In the end, it was only a short sentence.

“tmd”

Fran's butler had never been so angry with Fran, and when a servant wanted to go up and clean up. Stopped by the butler, Fran needed silence at the moment.

Bessen had set out from Nolan, and Viscount Melt did not make it difficult for Beson. Soon let Bessen attack only Ortuno through the territory. Bessen didn't talk nonsense either, and went straight to Ortuno.

The Lenau River, which has been described as a mosaic of Rannau on Zarune, has lost its usual beauty at the moment, and both sides are murderous.

Marr decided to cross the river at the Iowa Ferry.

The Iowa Ferry is a jutting bank on the riverbank, about three kilometers long.

This is where the calm Lannau River changes, where the course begins to narrow and the water becomes rapid. The white flowers of the great waves rolled in the air, and the rumbling sound of the waves constantly warned those who tried to cross the river from it.

It seems to be a blemish in this blue nau.

But Mal obviously doesn't put this in front of him, it's just a river, what is there to be afraid of.

However, he was a little afraid of the swarthy muzzles of the guns on the other side, and if he was not dazzled, the number of guns on the opposite side had increased compared to yesterday.

"Judge Marl, should we start attacking. ”

Marr nodded.

A trumpet began to blow.

Artillery rang out. Hundreds of artillery pieces rang out, shaking the riverbed with dust. The whistling of shells echoed over the battlefield. Lift the fragile riverbed on the opposite side.

Marshall was a little puzzled, he didn't believe that the dwarves' artillery could hit so far.

This artillery didn't even shoot down a bird, isn't it lonely.

Could it be that this artillery is just a sound to hear? Boost morale?

That's a good idea.

Marshall held up his binoculars and looked at the dwarf opposite.

It's really a lot clearer, no wonder the artillerymen like this thing.

Speaking of which, it doesn't hurt at all that Wayne is in power, after all, they can use a lot of Nolan's new equipment. Marshall kind of wanted the hot air balloon flying in the sky.

However, due to the development with Ortuno, the long burning stone was also broken. Now the long burning stone is very scarce, and it cannot be used until the critical moment.

But Marshallese's relaxed mood soon faded.

Because the smoke of the shells that had just fallen had not yet cleared. It stands to reason that the shells have been cold for so long, where is the smoke. And the smoke of these shells is somewhat terrible.

The second wave of shells followed, and although the landing point was a little different from the previous one, it finally landed here.

At this moment the smoke began to fill,

Marshall could no longer see the situation on the other side.

Oops!

Distraction.

"Oh no, this old thief Mal is obviously prepared. Hurry up and fire the cannon, or the dwarves on the other side will cross the river. ”

Soon the order was passed down, and the soldiers hiding in the trenches quickly felt the tremors. The number of artillery pieces alone is evenly matched.

Mal was clearly unintimidated, and this was the warm-up stage of the show.

"Judge Marl, are we going to cross the river?"

"Du, now the artillery on the opposite side is bombarding indiscriminately. Let's not be afraid, we can't kill a few people. ”

Just as Marshall wondered how the dwarves had crossed the Lannau, he heard the sound of chains. Of course, he knew how the Iron Fist Army had crossed the Shen Jian River.

Now it is not realized, and the artillery is almost indiscriminate. And the dwarves are probably starting to crawl over the chains at this point.

Marshall was clearly unwilling, but gave the order anyway.

"Lift the hot air balloon. ”

"Wait, I'm back. There is no need to raise the hot air balloon yet. ”

The corners of Marshall's smug mouth curled, and he wanted to show the other side what cruelty was.

Indeed, at this time there were dozens of iron cables on the Lannau River, and dwarves hung from them. Crawling slowly along the chains.

The scimitar was on its back, and it was full of droplets of water splashed by the big waves. From time to time, the waves licked the corners of their clothes. Occasionally, artillery would fall into the river and make a huge splash, striking one or two people. But at this moment, these dwarves were not afraid, but were in a state of war. It can be seen that the current environment seems to be sinister, but the real death is not big.

Mal nodded in satisfaction, but the temporary victory didn't overjoy. The years have taught him to be steady.

Gradually, a figure rushed out of the smoke, followed by two. After a while, a large number of dwarves rushed towards the Dragon's Breath legion.

They were greeted by a rain of swords, artillery, and magic in the sky. Traps laid in advance, wooden barriers.

In fact, only dwarves dare to fight like this. You must know that after crossing the river with great effort from the iron cable, the soldiers are in a state of exhaustion. In the river beach where there is no cover, full of obstacles, traps to drag heavy armor through. This was undoubtedly a disaster for the soldiers.

But dwarves are better at endurance. They even marched twenty-four hours a day. These serious challenges to humanity are nothing to them.

The roaring Ortunno rushed in a sea of rage. Rune's thin arrows pierced through the armor, as long as they weren't fatal. Nothing to them.

Some of the dwarves had seven or eight arrows pierced into their bodies and were still running.

It's scary to look at. If it were a legion that had never fought the dwarves, it would have been frightened at this moment.

However, the Dragon's Breath Legion is known for beating dwarves, and Rune is known for beating them.
