Chapter 394: Attack by Harpys and Kobolds
10 days, it has been 10 days since the 30,000 sun never set, from landing on the mysterious continent to establishing 3 simple camps and now.
During this period, the 30,000 soldiers who never set the sun can be said to have been working overtime every day in the morning and at night. Under the command of the junior officers, the soldiers of Sunset used the tools originally used to repair the holes of the ships on the transport ship, and after picking and collecting all the coconuts that could be used on the coconut trees, they converted all the coconut trees that could be seen on the coast into various logs and planks, and then bound them together with the iron nails stored by the transport ship, and used the red bricks fired from the clay that can be found everywhere on the beach, plus the four castle ruins found in the surrounding area before, which are extremely valuable and can be used for construction by the soldiers of Sunset. The stone bricks cut by the axe were built at the two entrances and exits leading to the Sunset Soldier's landing point along the coast, with red bricks and weathered stone blocks as the foundation, logs as walls and shooting platforms, and two heavy wooden planks as the entrance to ensure the safety of all baggage in the landing point.
At the same time, the people of Sunset used their wisdom to dig tunnels to introduce seawater into the outer perimeter of the wooden fences of the three camps, forming a "moat" with a depth of up to 2.5 meters and sharpened logs inserted inside. Since 90% of the soil in the three highlands, including one that is not connected to the sea, is made up of granite hidden in the sand, the soldiers did not have to worry about watering the sea water in wooden barrels themselves (after all, the water flows downwards, and the three Sunset camps are built in areas that are either seaside cliffs or coastal highlands, in an era when it is impossible to build wooden pumping machines and electric pumping machines, In this case, if you want to build a moat, of course, you can only use this stupid method) After you dig the hole before, there will be a problem of subsidence or even collapse of the defense belt.
At the same time, nearly 100 engineers equipped with the Sun Never Set Army also used their wisdom to start building wooden bridges between the three high grounds, and it is expected that as long as it takes more than 10 days to complete, the Sun Never Set soldiers in the three high places will be able to support the other side's attacked battalion area in a very short time, but it is obvious that this practice is not allowed by some alien races, and they will not watch these iron canists build military facilities everywhere in their nominal territory. Therefore, when noon came after 30,000 soldiers stationed at the landing point for 10 days, countless black spots in the distant sky and the rapid sound of horns in the hands of the soldiers completely broke the peace of the past 10 days.
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! The enemy has air soldiers! Reykja archers all assembled! Get on the shooting platform! "When the distant outpost ignited the beacon fire, but the Sunset Scouts on horseback withdrew from the front sentry and reported the most important military situation to the whole army as soon as possible, the Sunset Camp and the Sunset soldiers in the landing point, which originally only had the sound of wooden saws and hammers hitting nails, instantly exploded like a pot and became a little chaotic, not because they were frightened by the sudden enemy, but because they did not expect that they would encounter air troops in the first battle in the mysterious continent. Of course, behind this panic, there is still a trace of excitement in the hearts of the more than 30,000 soldiers who never set the sun, yes! It's exciting! The reason for this is simple, as they will be the first units to fight the enemy's air forces.
Back then, as the first batch of soldiers who participated in the defense of Notting Khan, they were compiled into the first page of the "History of the Sunset War" by the instructors of the Royal Military Academy, not because of how much remarkable this battle was, not because of how magnificent this battlefield was, but because this battle was the first battle of the city defense fought by the Sunset ArmyIt is precisely because this battle is the first coastal invasion of the continent of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, and it means that if you fight this first war against the enemy's air force on the side that never sets, doesn't it mean that you will go down in history in the textbooks of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets? If they can't get excited about this, it can only be said that they are all nervous.
After a short period of confusion, the soldiers who never set the sun quickly entered the best fighting position, and the Reykya archers, dressed in steel plate armor or even plate armor, under the command of the junior officers, immediately entered the wooden shooting platform, or on the relatively empty yellow earth in the camp, bent down and dug a small pit with a dagger, inserted the arrows ready to shoot into the ground, and began to slowly pull the powerful compound bow in their hands to the full string as the black dots in the distance gradually increased.
At this time, Yuri, the commander-in-chief of the 30,000 Sunset Soldiers, looked at the Sunset Scout who was standing upright in front of him with a puzzled look on his face in the tent and asked, "What did you say?" Harpies? Doesn't this alien race only live in the dark underground realm of the southwest continent? How could there be such an alien race on this mysterious continent, are you sure that you are seeing the Harpies and not the Winged Clan? ”
"Your Excellency, General, I am a student of the intelligence department of the Yorktown branch of the Royal Academy on which the sun never sets, and before I joined the army, I had the privilege of entering the main courtyard of the Royal Academy of the Sun Never Setting Peninsula in New Delhi, and obtained a book from the hands of the vampire foreign teacher that recorded the appearance of all the alien races, it is obvious that those thousands of alien air forces flying in the sky and equipped with double daggers are definitely not the wing clan, because the wings of the wing clan are white with some cyan, and their wings are generally 2 or 3 times the size of the human body, And what appeared in front of us was a harpy man who was painted all over the beast totem and had brown and yellow feathers on his body, although the feathers on their eyes were different from those in the underground collar, one was brown and the other was indeed brown, but they were 90% similar in appearance and body structure. ”
"It's ............ Well, by the way, you said before that in addition to the more than 5,000 Harpy warriors, there are also the same number of foot warriors, so what kind of alien composition are those infantry warriors? ”
"It's made up of kobold warriors armed with stone axes."
"................ I understand, then you go down first." After seeing the scout non-commissioned officer leave, Yuri muttered to a few rough sand tables in front of him with a strange face: "Beast Clan, there is actually an Beast Clan here, could it be that this is also a part of the Ancient Continent?" It looks like we're going to have the ship's compass repaired as soon as possible. ”
