Chapter 256: Leo in action

Just as the clouds of war on the Northern Continent began to pile up in Reykjavík, on the edge of the Western and Northwest Continents, a mysterious army was transporting the Sunset Coastal Trade Route and the Sunset Fleet to the northernmost coastal city of Edana in the Atlanta Empire.

This mysterious unit is numbered the 11th Mixed Regiment on which the sun never sets. It is based on the 11th Heavy Infantry Regiment of the Sunset as the backbone, plus some long-range infantry and engineering troops, and this is the biggest difference between the 11th Mixed Regiment and other units stationed in the waters of the Bia Inland Sea, the northwest continent, and the New Delhi Peninsula.

"Attack!" Leo, who was riding on the transport ship, pointed the sword in his hand at the city in front of him, and after launching an attack order with the adjutant beside him, all the transport ships along the coast began to sail towards Itana City, and on the other side, after several sounds of birds and beasts startling away, several assembled counterweight trebuchets gradually appeared outside Itana City under the impetus of the engineers who never set, and Leo himself vaguely heard the panic in Itana City.

Although the "Boom Boom ............Boom" Atlanta Empire is the same as the sun never sets, it is also capable of creating counterweight trebuchets, but the counterweight trebuchets produced by it are generally used in naval battles, not land battles, so the current city defense system of the Atlanta Empire is not equipped with trebuchets that can counterattack the counterweight trebuchet strike, let alone the city defense weapon like the Sun Never Sets Empire - the city defense giant crossbow, and some are just some stone crossbows with strong power at close range. In such a situation, the counterweight trebuchet on which the sun never sets, like the powerful fist of the Titan, blasted multiple cracks into the walls of Itami, which were obstacles in front of them.

"Woo woo ......" The sound of the strong attack horn sounded, after the walls of Itana were almost in ruins, behind the previous sunset counterweight trebuchet, there were many Yoman longbowmen with purple-shirted longbows, they were marching quickly under the walls of Itana City in a skirmish formation, although the archers and stone crossbows on the Atlantan side on the way carried out fierce long-range strikes on it, but for a longbow army with two years of combat experience in the northwest continent, this firepower was really nothing, Many of the Yoman longbowmen who survived the battle even stumbled to dodge the flying arrows with the reflexes they had trained in many battles, and moved 60 meters in front of the city wall under the leadership of the centurions to re-transform into a dense formation, and then used the special skill of the longbowmen, Geographical Suppression, to quickly suppress the fire at the gap in the wall of Edana City.

At the same time, many warriors armed with giant axes suddenly appeared in the area outside the city of Itana, these warriors were generally about 2 meters in stature, holding a giant double-edged axe, carrying a large round steel shield on their backs, a light plate armor and cotton armor on the inside, and placing steel horns on their shoulder armor that can perform shoulder collisions like orc slave soldiers (at first, I thought of some horn helmets, but when I thought of the design of the horn helmet, which was simply to send flaws to the enemy, I gave up directly, If you want to know the reason for the road, you can check the pros and cons of the horn helmet). They are none other than the new class of troops on which the sun never sets, the Mishal Heavy Axemen, who are extremely adept at storming, snow and forest warfare.

When these Mishaal heavy axemen in black and red armor appeared on the battlefield, their terrifying appearance and sheer number immediately frightened many Atlanta soldiers, and they began to flee in droves towards the city of Ithana without the command of those Atlantan officers, eventually resulting in several detachments of Mishaal heavy axemen under the 11th Heavy Infantry Regiment losing less than 100 men to take the city walls of Itana.

Immediately afterwards, in the port area of the inner city of Edana, an event that made the Atlantan defenders even more desperate happened, led by Leo, the Sunset transport fleet, which had not participated in the battle before, braved the blows of the stone crossbows around the port to carry out a beachfront landing battle on the port area.

Due to the suddenness of the attack, and there were no defenders in the vicinity, the transport ships that never set on the sun docked in the port area without any damage, and then, a group of new light infantry wearing cotton armor, light chain mail or 1/4 plate armor, the Mishaal raiders, quickly slid down the ship with ropes, and carried three flying axes with double axes on their backs, and spread in the criss-crossing network of Itana cities as a benchmark for the squad, and gradually devoured the Atlantic soldiers who fled. And slowly advance to the central square in Itami Castle.

The Mishars, armed with two tomahawks, would roar like wolves when they came into contact with the enemy, and in the process of rushing, they would first pull out a throwing axe from behind their backs and throw it at the enemy, and then tear the enemy to pieces with two towels with their two battle axes.

With the surrender of the first Atlanta soldier, more and more Atlanta soldiers dropped their weapons and squatted on the corner with their heads in their hands according to the requirements of the soldiers on which the sun never set, waiting for the soldiers to be disposed of, including the Atlantan officers who had previously commanded the resistance of the Atlanta soldiers. As for the lord of Idana City, due to the blows of the counterweight trebuchet in all directions, he was stoned to death by a flying stone and his wife and concubine in the middle of the battle, and the current city lord's mansion of Itana City has become a ruin.

"Lord Leo, the city is still in turmoil, are you going down now?" Looking at Leo, who was originally standing on the transport ship, using a rope to slide down from the ship, a centurion standing in the port area on the task of escorting the transport ship immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Hmm." Leo nodded and said, "It's almost time, you can burn these ships as planned." ”

"Yes!"

"The engineering troops outside the city have moved forward, right?" Leo asked again.

"Yes, Lord Leo, the engineering troops have been evacuated from the battlefield of Itana City in 1 hour, and they are marching towards the nearest coastal city in Atlanta."

"Then let's get ready, set the city on fire and evacuate. It won't be long before the Atlantic fleet reacts, and we will have to get to the next city in five days. The aftermath of Edana City was left to the Maori Navy to solve. ”
