Chapter 272 The Prelude to the Attack

Cecil Land is like a machine running at full power. When the command is given, every part of the machine will run quickly - not everyone knows what will happen next, but almost everyone Everyone knows what they should do at the moment. Clear orders and rules and regulations are the biggest reliance that makes Cecil's territory different from other noble territories. People only need to follow the orders to do things within their own range, and this huge machine can be perfect. It started to run and burst out with power that made everyone stunned.

In just three days, the southern defense line of the territory was reinforced and added again. The large open area from the dark mountains to the city wall was set up with layers of roadblocks and fences, and there were minefields between the roadblocks and fences. , 60% of the thousands of soldiers were sent to the southern city wall, and the remaining 40% acted as reserves and mobile forces on the remaining defense lines. Another security team maintained order in the territory and conveyed new orders from the lord at any time. ——Although a crisis is approaching, everything in the territory seems to be in order. This atmosphere of "everything is under control" quickly calms the slightly flustered atmosphere in the city.

The population of Cecil Territory is growing explosively. A large number of foreign refugees have not experienced the first territorial defense, nor have they experienced a complete disaster drill. Even if someone comforts them, they will inevitably panic. Under normal circumstances Now, the nobles don't care if these "untouchables" are in panic, because the nobles only trust their knights, mages, and private armies. However, in Cecil's territory, the Council of Ministers immediately told everyone Clear instructions were issued, and the security team was asked to make continuous announcements of the situation, and these measures were surprisingly effective—even the panicked new immigrants were quickly transferred to stability after receiving clear instructions from the upper levels. This change It surprised Heidi.

On the southern city wall of the territory, Gawain was taking Hetty and others to check the arrangement of the final line of defense. After hearing the situation in the city reported by the affairs officer, he smiled and looked at Hetty: "In the end, people's fear comes from the unknown. , It is precisely because they don't know what is going to happen that the fear will magnify infinitely in their hearts, and at this time, as long as you give them some clear news, or even a clear order, they are easy to settle down. Even if you let them go collectively Moving bricks, they will also feel at ease - there is a response, at least it means that the situation is still under control."

At this moment, a figure full of arcane brilliance appeared on the city wall, and the soldiers gave way one after another. Carmel went straight through the crowd and came to Gawain: "The two magic obelisks have been activated, the entire section The city walls have been covered by the magic field."

Gawain nodded: "It's hard work - adding two obelisks in such a short period of time must not be easy."

"It's actually fine,

The machinery you invented works very well, I thought it would be a little harder for me to make things in this era without the Fel Foundry of the Empire of Gondor, and now things are better than expected," Kamai said. Er hummed, then raised his body slightly and looked at the entire section of the city wall, "This is really... a scene I've never seen before. "

Hetty, who was beside him, asked curiously, "Have you never experienced a battlefield?"

"I am a researcher, and although I have had actual combat experience as a magister, I have never experienced a real battlefield," Carmel admitted frankly, "and the era I lived in was the most powerful period of the Gondor Empire. At that time, no country in the entire continent dared to go to war with us."

"Then you can witness what the battlefield looks like," Gao Wen smiled, "The battlefield in the new era."

"Exactly, I'm also curious about the aberrations you mentioned." The arcane brilliance on Kamel's body brightened. "A monster that appears in the magic tide... It should be of great research value."

Gawain nodded, then looked around, suddenly curious: "Where is Rebecca? I haven't seen her since just now."

"She left the city wall in the morning and said she was going back to prepare some equipment for combat," Hetty said. "She's not very good at commanding, but she can still be used as firepower, so I let her go."

"The equipment for combat..." Gawain blinked, "I don't know what that girl wants to do..."

In the lord's mansion, in the "laboratory" arranged by Rebecca herself, a certain iron-headed baby was carefully putting together a pile of rune substrates.

As a third-level mage who only knows big fireballs and has no experimental common sense, Rebecca does not have her own laboratory. However, after she showed her mathematical talent and made many achievements in inventions, He Dee relaxed the monitoring of the humanoid self-propelled fireball launcher, and Rebecca secretly tinkered with a laboratory by herself - said it was a laboratory, in fact, she arranged a work in the utility room of her suite. Fang, there are not many devices related to spells (after all, she can't use them), but there are many mechanical processing devices, such as small drilling platforms and machine tools, here, Rebecca has tinkered with a lot of useful things - and Weird stuff.

Tyr was in the corner of the laboratory, watching Rebecca connect those rune substrates with copper hinges, forming a wide metal band, and fixing it with hooks and straps, couldn't help asking. One sentence: "Is this a new type of armor?"

"What armor, this is the Battle Mage amplifier that I invented!" Rebecca raised her eyelids and glanced at Tyr, who was yawning, while trying to fix the rune substrates, "Why are you wearing a pair again? Didn't seem to wake up? Didn't you say you're in a state of excitement? You have to be excited for a month or something..."

"I made a mistake and underestimated my own laziness," Tyre stretched out his long lazy waist (because the waist is really long), and the tip of his tail shook comfortably during the stretch, "Tell you guys The war is about to begin, right? You are still tossing toys here, aren't you afraid of being beaten by your great grandfather and grandfather?"

"What do you know, I'm here for battle!" Rebecca said with a serious face, and at the same time finally buckled the last lock of the "Battle Mage Amplifier", "It's you, are you still planning to go back to sleep? You really don't go to the city walls to help?"

"Let's talk, let's talk..." Tyre was about to doze off as he spoke, but he still tried his best to hold his eyelids, "Speaking of what the hell did you call me for... not just to find someone Let the audience see how you tied yourself up with a weird iron belt?"

"Of course not, I asked you to help me as insurance, because I don't know how effective this amplifier can be," Rebecca said, pressing her hand on a trigger device between the rune boards On, as she pressed the controller, all the rune boards began to light up one by one, "Look at it, I'll test it first..."

Tyre lazily watched Rebecca pick up the staff next to him, lazily watched the other party rubbing a fireball, lazily... exclaimed in shock: "What is that fireball of yours? thing!!"

On the southern city wall, on the eastern extension, a special team of "city defenders" is carrying a box of crystal bombs to the tower where the catapult is located, while Soldrin is standing by, supervising the work of these soldiers Happening.

They were the sixteen Typhon soldiers who were still prisoners of war.

Typhon knight Balto bent down and placed the last crystal bomb next to the trebuchet, then he stood up and looked back at the town behind him.

In this high place, he could easily see most of the city, and even the place where he was once imprisoned.

Today is the third day of leaving the cell, and as a Typhon warrior, he has helped the Ansu people move bricks and ammunition boxes for three days on this section of the city wall.

It's nothing to be proud of, but as a prisoner of war, Balto knew he didn't have much choice - he was lucky enough to be alive outside his cell to breathe the fresh air, not to mention he was told that My job here is to fight monsters from the Gondor wastes - not my own countrymen, which is not too bad at least.

In the process of moving bricks for three days, Barto and his colleagues did not forget to observe the surroundings, and did not forget to seize all the time to learn about this mysterious pioneer, the mysterious ancient duke and his mysterious new style. The army, and the more he learned about it, the more surprised he was.

He originally thought that Ansu was a rotten and backward barbaric country, mired in the quagmire of decline, with corrupt nobles, commoners suffering from hunger and cold, withered frontiers, and turbulent internal tides—this is what Typhon propagated to the people, but The same is true of the real information that the soldiers of the Winter Wolf Legion on the border have inquired about, but here, this Cecil Territory is completely inconsistent with Balto's understanding of Ansu.

He has not seen what the daily state of Cecil's territory looks like, but he has seen what this territory looks like after the alarm is sounded. Orderly mobilize, actively prepare for war, see that all departments are closely coordinated, without any excuse or delay, and see that the management agency called the "Government Affairs Office" is like the brain of the entire territory, constantly issuing orderly instructions, directing all orders. In the city, the ignorant and ignorant people who should have been chaotic, ignorant, and numb are all like well-trained militiamen or well-informed citizens. Instead of showing any signs of falling into turmoil, they are supporting the city with all their strength. The defense of the city and the maintenance of normal production and life-except for the half-day work stop when the first day of emergency was entered to redistribute production targets, the operation of the entire city was not affected by the state of war at all!

In all fairness, Barto didn't even think there was a city in Typhon that could do the same.

The more they watched, the more frightened Balto and his comrades became—if the same happened elsewhere in Anzu, would it be wise for Typhon to go to war with him?

However, the knight's thoughts could not last, because a sudden feeling of heart palpitations surfaced in his heart.

With the guidance of his intuition, he turned his head to look at the mountain barrier in the southern part of the city wall. In the powerful vision possessed by the superhuman, he saw an ominous black and red smoke cloud rising from the boundary between the mountain and the plain, and countless A twisted and ferocious figure appeared in it.

He heard one of his comrades muttering beside him: "That's... what?!"

The most urgent alarm sounded on the city walls, and the sentry on the watchtower rang the bell and shouted loudly:

"They're here!!"
