Chapter 279: Caravan? New Engineer Corps!
To say that the 100,000 soldiers who participated in the poison needle plan have not been discovered for a long time, let alone the death of the emperor of the Mars Empire, Kribard, even the commander-in-chief of the poison needle plan, Sun Lin, does not believe it.
And it turns out. Even though Mars's intelligence network organization was constantly suppressed by the Sunset Intelligence Network, it was still capable of spreading the news throughout the country within three days of the Sunset Army entering his empire's territory.
But what can this be, although the towns and checkpoints of the Mars Empire, which received the news of the enemy's invasion, raised the alert status in the city to the highest level for the first time, and set up horses to resist horses and seal the city gates, but the sun does not set and does not pay attention to it at all. Their goal is to raid the Imperial City of Mars, not to waste time on these chicken ribs. On the other hand, due to the pressure of all its troops on the front line, the Mars Empire, which now has no troops in the country to move out of the city, has no ability to send troops out of the city to stop the Sunset army from advancing, and the Sunset side has plunged headlong into the shortcut between the hidden and the dense forests and mountains with the help of Sinan's ability.
This result eventually led to a strange state in the western region of the Northwest Continent: the sun never sets here as if they are walking everywhere under their own territory, although their whereabouts are erratic and elusive, but surprisingly they almost did not attack any of the cities that appeared next to their marching road, or even less than 5 miles away, of course, if those towns or checkpoints are very unfortunate enough to block the way of the Sunset soldiers, then the checkpoint fire town will still suffer the devastating blow of the Sunset Empire; Mars, on the other hand, seemed to have issued a permanent military pass to the Sunset Empire, and even though the Sunset soldiers had already entered the city's range, the Mars soldiers did not release their arrows, but let them go in a bystander manner. This is also why Andert was able to reach the Imperial City of Mars at around 4 p.m. on January 28.
Arriving outside the Imperial City, Andelt did not choose to attack the city immediately, but chose to cut down some trees in the forest area around the Imperial City of Mars and let the nearly 20,000 soldiers under his control build a simple camp, and then ordered the entire army to rest.
There are three reasons for this: first, Anderte's army arrived here after a rapid journey of more than 400 miles, and the soldiers who did not set on the sun had to rest; Second, the number of militias stationed in the Imperial City of Mars, the number of troops in the city has reached nearly 30,000, and the lack of heavy siege weapons such as counterweight trebuchets, siege vehicles, siege towers and other soldiers who never set the sun cannot have the ability to break through the Imperial City of Mars, which has entered the state of blockade of the whole city, and the cast iron gate and the wall of more than 20 meters high alone can make all the officers and soldiers of the 4th Echelon Column stop. Not to mention the 30,000 Mars soldiers guarding the city walls and the various weapons of defending the city that had been created by the skills of the Dick Empire, and now Andelt had to wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops before acting; As for the third reason, Andertres was waiting here for a force, a force that was not part of any of the 5th Echelon Army, but at the same time was involved in the Poison Needle.
This was the mysterious caravan that had left Riley City along the smuggling route before Sun Lin's 1st Column had set out, and they arrived at the newly started camp at about 5 p.m. under the very brief expectation of Andrûlt.
After entering the camp, the human servants and merchants in the caravan were invited by the Sunset soldiers to go to a large tent built for them, where hot food and ginger soup were specially prepared for them to ward off the cold, and on the other side, after the merchants left, when the hundreds of Sunset soldiers appointed by Andrel to take off their armor and weapons came to the vicinity of the ox cart, under a loud noise, Among the more than 20 ox carts in the caravan, nearly 100 dwarfs with an average height of less than 1.3, all with a large beard, of course, this can also be called them............
"Are these the new siege troops sent by Sun Lin - the Mo Forging Slave Regiment?" Andert asked a centurion of the sun never setting who was wearing a thick cotton coat beside him, he was the only officer who had gone with the caravan and the leader of the nearly 100 Mo forgings.
"Yes, Your Excellency General Andert, I belong to the 13th squad of the Mo Forging Slave Regiment with them, and this time on the orders of His Majesty Sun Lin,
Transporting these weapons of war to be used in the next siege of the city is here, waiting for Sun Linmian's orders. The sun never sets when asked, the centurion hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully.
"What's in there, what are the balls and the strange parts?" Andert looked at it and said curiously.
"In addition to the 15 No. 3 counterweight trebuchets newly improved and developed by the Quartermaster of the New Delhi Peninsula at the end of last year, there are also 1,000 secret room guards from the Mo Forge slave craftsmen, the brass-colored spheres and the two dwarven centurions in an unassembled state, and Sun Lin Mian said that he will use this poison needle meter to test the value of these war machines by the way."
"Secret room guards? Dwarven centurion, what kind of weapons are they? Is it as powerful as a counterweight trebuchet? Hearing two strange names, adding those strange objects, Andelt's curiosity was instantly ignited, and he hurriedly asked the centurion.
But in this regard, the centurion did say with a wry smile and helplessness: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency General, although I am the leader and slave owner of these Mo Forging people to a certain extent, but these two things come from the workshops with the number of 20 to 25 of the Quartermaster Department, you know that only people with authority like you have the opportunity to access those workshops, and now Your Excellency General, you don't know what this thing is, how can I, the person who has just been assigned to this team, know Lu Dao?" I estimate that the only way to know the ability and power of these two war weapons now is to wait until Sun Linmian comes down to know the Dao, of course, Your Excellency General, if you are like the Dao of Zhilu now, you can use your authority to ask these Mo Forging people. ”
"That's it." Endelt said with a disappointed face: "I don't want to be dismissed again at that time, this kind of thing is enough to come once, let's wait for the crown to come down." ”
On the other side, in the Imperial City of Mars, a fierce controversy also kicked off in the Imperial Palace of Mars at this time.
