Release that Witch - Chapter 198

[Chapter 197 Preparations for the Enemy]

It was the next morning that Roland learned that a large group of people was approaching. Lightning’s routine patrol found this slow-moving group.

Eight {one novel [<〔<

“What, more than a thousand people?” He was startled, isn’t it the promised fifty-member envoy group?

“Yeah,” Maggie added, “but there aren’t many people on horseback, only six!”

“The people on foot… what about their clothes and weapons?”

“It’s normal, most people don’t have any armor, It’s just ordinary linen clothes,” Lightning said, “weapons are also various, but there are hundreds of people with short spears on their backs.” With

such poor equipment, are they all forced civilians or serfs?

Roland thought suspiciously that there was no special training for the militia in this era. To put it bluntly, it was a logistics team responsible for transporting food, grass and supplies for the knight army, and sometimes it could be used as cannon fodder to consume the enemy’s arrows.

If Timothy wants to use force to solve himself, it is impossible not to understand the battle between Longsong Fortress and Border Town.

More than 200 knights from the Duke of Lane’s coalition army failed to reach the edge of the town, let alone this group of militiamen running on their legs.

Knowing the process and outcome of the battle, they still have to march towards the town. It can only be said that they are sure to break through the dense line of guns.

Roland couldn’t help but think of the Church’s pills.

Before, he had guessed whether the church supported Timothy and Garcia at the same time.

If all these people had the pill, the situation would be completely different.

It can allow humans to run as fast as horses in a short period of time without fear of injury. That is to say, the volley line will face the impact of more than a thousand “knights”. The First Army brought casualties.

Fortunately, the First Army is no longer the army it was more than two months ago.

Although the revolver rifle has only been replaced with a hundred or so, the firepower projection density is far higher than that of the Fusiliers. Especially after the shooter is equipped with a special loader, the enemy who enters the range of 300 meters will encounter continuous attacks. absolute attack.

The artillery team has also been expanded after the battle of the fortress, from the original four groups to the current twenty groups, each equipped with a modified 12-pound field gun, which increased the diameter and increased the effective range to a thousand meters above.

But Roland thought of another question.

“Have you noticed that those walking people are wearing God’s Stone of Retaliation?”

“I dare not get too close,” Lightning pointed at Maggie, “This guy can see much more clearly than me after turning into an eagle.”

The latter shook his head and said, “I didn’t see it, maybe it was hidden in the clothes!”

“In this case…” Roland thought, “You can take Nightingale to fly again. Only one person can carry about ten meters. You will fly along the Chishui River, and Maggie will be in charge of guarding the front. If you encounter a passing ship, Nightingale will turn into a fog state and move forward.” He looked at Nightingale, “After approaching the enemy, you can observe the large troops from a long distance. If someone is carrying God’s Stone of Retaliation, don’t attack without authorization.”

“Yes.” Nightingale and Lightning said in unison.

Just when the three were about to leave, Roland stopped them, “Remember, safety comes first, protect yourself.”

“No problem,” Nightingale blinked and smiled.

After the witches left, he felt a little uneasy. Was the last sentence too much like setting up a flag?

And he also realized a major mistake in his work, that is, his intelligence control over Longsong Fortress was too weak – if it wasn’t for the messenger sent by Pei Luo, he might encounter the situation that the enemy didn’t realize until he hit the door.

Once caught in street fighting, it is difficult for the First Army, which has lost its firepower advantage, to recover the situation.

He was still too young and too simple, Roland thought, this link must be made up after the war, and not only intelligence, but also his own manpower should be placed around Pei Luo.

The prince sat at the table restlessly, and was not in the mood to eat Chinese food. He was relieved until Lightning flew into the room like an elf with Nightingale on his back.

Maggie flapped her wings and landed on Nightingale’s shoulder, and said loudly: “No Goo, no Goo!”

“No God’s Stone of Retaliation?”

“Most of them don’t.” Nightingale took off her hood, and a golden hair fell out, I observed from the front to the end of the team, except for the ten leaders, there are only three or four black holes in the militia.”

“Very good,” Roland immediately formed a preliminary battle plan in his mind, “Are you all hungry? Go to the restaurant and tell the chef what you want to eat.”

“Honey Sauce Barbecue Goo!” Maggie spread her wings and said proudly.

Outside the east end of the town.

Faner glanced at the busy stonemasons and workers on both sides of the avenue, “What are they building?”

Hundreds of people first dug several large holes in the ground, and then built brick walls around the holes. He thought The two ends of these walls will be connected to block the road, but unexpectedly they are built around the pit.

“Whatever, I just know there’s another enemy to beat,” Yupi said excitedly while fixing the gun mount in place.

Indeed, Vanner thought.

Since defeating the Duke’s coalition forces last time, His Royal Highness personally awarded a copper badge to each member of the artillery crew… no, it was a medal.

On the front of the medal was a pattern of a high wall symbolizing the Longsong Fortress, and on the back was engraved with the year and achievements. It was so exquisitely made that the Musketeers were envious.

Besides this honor, everyone has been promoted to one level. Now Fan Na is the captain of the artillery team, in charge of ten artillery teams.

The Rodney brothers, Maoclaw and Yupi were promoted to team leaders, and three of them were transferred to the newly formed team to teach the recruits how to operate artillery.

The most exciting thing is that His Royal Highness has fulfilled his promise. Faner allocated a piece of land on the east side of the town, at the foot of the Impassable Mountain Range. Although it is only a forest at present, a stone monument has been erected on the ground, symbolizing The right to use it belongs to him.

So when it was learned that an enemy wanted to invade the town, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com’s first army suddenly became agitated, and everyone was gearing up, hoping to make a contribution in this battle.

When dusk fell, Faner wiped the sweat from his brow after a day of drills, and sat on the gun mount to take a rest.

All afternoon, he spent the whole afternoon checking whether the recruits had performed the firing steps according to the regulations, and his voice was almost smoking.

“Drink some water,” Yupi handed over a leather pouch.

“Thank you,” Faner unscrewed the cap and drank it down.

“I think I know what they are going to build,” the former said triumphantly, with the corners of his mouth raised.

“Really?” He returned the skin bag to the other party.

At this time, the brick wall had been built to the height of half a person, roughly forming a hexagon around the pit.

However, each wall has a long and narrow horizontal gap at a position of 30 to 40 centimeters from the ground, which is a bit like a window, but it looks a little narrower.

“It can’t be a house.”

“It’s true that it is a house. I just asked a stonemason.” Youpi nodded, “He told me that this is something His Royal Highness came up with, as long as the Musketeers hide here Start a fire in a half-buried house, and you will have no worries. But it has a unique name, and His Highness calls it a bunker.” (To be continued.)
