The arrival of the Bucks was undoubtedly a booster, and the soldiers and residents of the mountain city who stayed behind were all excited about it. Even Remington had a smile on his face. The rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier. It was still sporadic light rain at noon, but it had turned into moderate rain by this time. The sky is gray and gloomy, and the beauty of sunsets and sunsets in the past cannot be seen. At this moment, there is only an indescribable heaviness. This sense of dignity before the battle quickly overwhelmed the excitement caused by the arrival of the Bucks, and people became silent again, focusing on the tasks assigned to them.
Allen and Keller went to study the combat plan and the deployment of the army, Remington was busy appeasing the emotions of the soldiers in the mountain city, and Bloy was mobilizing his soldiers in the rain. Everyone seemed to have their own things to do. At this time, Hubble felt that he had nothing to do. He sat on a step under the city wall. In order to hide his eyes and ears, Hubble put on heavy armor covering his whole body, and even his head was covered in a big iron helmet. His helmet was like an iron barrel, with a pair of curved horns built on both sides of his head, and the helmet blocked all the parts below the eyes, which made Hubble look weird.
He kept a wine bottle on one side, and picked it up to smell it from time to time, but he didn't dare to drink it. Allen said that if he drank before the war, he would not even think about drinking a drop in the future. So Hubble could only wipe a giant sword he had brought from Allen to decompose the spirit from the wine bottle. In fact, Hubble prefers to use an ax, but the giant ax cannot be used freely by humans, so he did not build such a weapon. Hubble can only lead this giant sword, but it is still a little small for the Catu people.
"Can I touch it?" a voice said cautiously.
Hubble raised his head, he was a ten-year-old human boy. He wore ill-fitting mail and a horned helmet. The helmet was a bit loose, so the boy was always shaking when he put it on his head, which was a bit ridiculous. There is a one-handed sword pinned to his waist, which looks very ordinary, and it may not be some sophisticated equipment. The regular army in Shancheng would not accept such a young man with a weak crown, so Hubble knew that the one standing in front of him was a militiaman.
But as far as the militia is concerned, this boy is too young. The young man was looking at the huge sword in Hubble's hand with great hope. This kind of huge weapon was very attractive to him, which was a natural attraction from nature. Hubble handed over the giant sword: "Be careful, it's a bit heavy, I don't want it to hurt you."
The boy licked his lips and took it. Although he was mentally prepared, his hands sank under the weight of the giant sword. Then he couldn't catch it firmly, and the sword fell to the ground, splashing muddy water on the ground. He blushed, and anxiously wanted to pick up the sword, but unexpectedly, his finger scratched the edge of the sword, and it split open. Hubble bent down, easily picked up the giant sword and said, "Look, I said it's not something a brat like you can play with."
"I'm not a kid, I'm an adult, I'm a man!" The boy tried to puff up his chest and said with burning eyes, "I can fight too, and I want to do my part to protect my homeland.
"
"Courageous, but stupid in my opinion. You should evacuate with the others in the morning, this war is not a joke. At least, not a young brat like you can participate in it." Hubble Shaking his head, he said, "If you cherish your life, you should take off your armor now."
The young man shook his head stubbornly: "No, I promised Captain Johnny. I will stay and join the war, but he has to give my sister a sum of money so that she won't go hungry when she goes to Master Allen's territory .”
"Where are your parents?"
"They are long gone. Even if there is no war, I am going to join the army so that I can support my sister."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) At this time, someone in the distance called the boy to come over. The boy said to Hubble: "Thank you for letting me touch that sword. You know, maybe I won't have the chance to touch such a big guy again."
Under the helmet, the youthful face was somewhat sad. The boy turned to leave, but Hubble stopped him: "What's your name, kid."
"My name is Bobby, my lord."
"Bobby?" Hubble nodded: "Listen Bobby, normally the militia doesn't need to go to the battlefield. But in case you have to go to the battlefield, if you can see me, try to come to my side. You Don't you still have relatives? Then don't want to die easily, otherwise, the relatives who are alive will cry bitterly."
The boy froze for a moment, then bowed to Hubble and said, "Thank you, my lord. I will remember."
After the boy left, Hubble looked at the wine bottle and picked it up with a sigh. Bobby reminded him of the past, long ago, when Hubble had a brother too. But Vasago's army came, and in the end, Hubble could only harvest the corpses of his relatives. The Catu shook his head, trying to get this almost forgotten memory out of his head. Finally, he found an empty corner, pulled down the visor of his helmet, and poured all the wine into his mouth.
"Never mind, I'll admit it if I can't drink alcohol in the future." Hubble let out a mouthful of alcohol, but the alcohol did not make him forget those past events, but some faces that he hadn't remembered for a long time appeared again. It flashed through my mind. At this moment, Hubble wished that he could pass out drunk. In fact, he smashed the wine bottle against the corner of the wall, and then walked out of the city with a huge sword on his shoulder, ready to fight at night.
The night finally came.
After the world became dark, the war drums and horns sounded on the west side of the Shadow Highlands, and people could feel the ground shaking, as if giants were walking towards the mountain city with heavy steps. Braziers were lit on the mountain city, and the flames of the braziers were blazing, and the rain could not be extinguished. They illuminated the city walls and made faces red. On the city wall are the soldiers of the mountain army. The musketeers and archers have been arranged behind the shooting holes and arrow stacks, and the infantry with swords as weapons guards every section of the city wall. They were the last line of defense when enemy soldiers scaled the walls.
Under the city wall, Keller was loudly mobilizing the soldiers in the formation formed by the Bucks. His voice could not be covered even by the sound of rain and drums. In this battle tonight, the Bucks will be the main body of the line of defense. As for their two wings, Allen's soldiers were in charge. Ten beast chariots had already arrived on the battlefield, ready to fight at any time.
When everything was ready, people saw a black line. That was the front line of the tide of alien troops, they rushed across the ground and kept advancing towards the mountain city.
A suffocating sense of oppression hangs over the battlefield, and even experienced soldiers have to use various subconscious small movements to disperse the pressure. As for the newly enlisted soldiers, their nervousness and fear are completely displayed on their faces. Their palms always repeat the movements of clenching and relaxing, and some even tremble. It is difficult even for officers to scold them. After all, for recruits, it is only natural that a war of this level puts tremendous pressure on them.
With the light of the fire, Allen could see that under the rainy night, the foreign army stopped nearly a thousand meters away from the mountain city. At this time, General Keller shouted: "Calm down, boys. It's our turn to play after those ugly guys have been baptized by a few waves of artillery fire. Don't panic, forget your fear, and think about our usual training." , and every expectant face in your family. I repeat, these damn aliens must be kept out of the gates of the empire, unless you want them to kill and set fire in their homeland!"
"We are the imperial family, and our mission is to protect. Tonight, I will fight with you for the empire and our family!"
"fighting!"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) "Fight!"
The soldiers of the Buck Army responded violently, and the sound of shouting spread rapidly, which made the new and old soldiers on the wall and mountain city forget a little bit of their fear. Remembering that their homeland was behind them, a trace of firmness began to appear on their faces. Those trembling palms began to quiet down, becoming full of strength again. I don't know who yelled "Fight", and then the soldiers on the mountain city roared like thunder, and even the thunder from the sky couldn't cover up the roar of human beings!
Keller raised his hand.
All the roars stopped at the same time, neatly like a miracle.
At this time, the alien army began to advance slowly. The Blade Devil's troops are at the forefront. They are both forwards and cannon fodder, so they are the largest in number. Looking around, under the firelight, the dark tide that is gradually advancing is shining with countless ice-like cold lights. Following behind the Blade Demon were the Catus. These savage and violent warriors roared as they marched, roaring in a demonstrative way towards the humans.
The low-pitched ones are huge war beasts, they are trying to drag the siege equipment behind them, and the warriors on them are desperately beating the war drums to cheer for the troops on their side. The only ones who advanced silently were the Ghanaians. These insects swam quietly and scattered to both sides of the battlefield. Some even began to drill down towards the ground, so there were suddenly countless arched and advancing earth dragons on the ground.
"Calm down, listen to my orders!" On the city wall, Broy temporarily became the commander of the mountain army and other soldiers. He ordered all the artillery to be on standby, the catapults began to be loaded with boulders, the musketeers pushed and loaded the bullets, and the longbowmen led the arrows. Bloy silently calculated in his heart, calculating the ever-shrinking distance between the enemy's front line and the mountain city.
At this time, the pressure is the greatest for each soldier, it will reach a certain critical point, and then it will be released with the emotional outburst. At this moment, all the soldiers held their breath, waiting for the moment when the order was issued.
The distance is constantly shortening.
Even Keller's palms began to sweat.
People's nerves are like a tight string.
There were about 700 meters left between the enemy's forward line and the Bucks' army. At this moment, a musketeer on the mountain city finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart, shouted and pressed the trigger, and a gunshot sounded on the city wall. . But at this distance, the bullet obviously missed, but it angered the enemy. A blade demon roared, and then all the demons changed from walking to sprinting, and a wave of black waves rushed in.
"What are you waiting for, fire!" Bloy roared, and his voice was quickly covered by the sound of cannons ringing from left and right.
The artillery fires in unison, bombarding the enemy's formation one after another. The catapult was not idle either, and a huge boulder weighing several tons was thrown into the air, then drew an arc, and smashed into the Blade Demon's position with a dull sound of breaking through the air. Balls of fire began to bloom on the enemy's position, and the huge boulders smashed the ground into potholes, leaving a large trace of flesh and blood. Then the Leihuo heavy machine gun also joined the shooting martyrs. The shooter turned the axle and quickly fired the bullets. Due to the extremely fast firing speed of the bullets, it left a continuous line of fire in the air, whipping like a fire whip The incoming enemy army.
In the end, even musketeers and longbowmen joined the ranks of the attack, thus kicking off the prelude to the great battle.
Keller looked thoughtfully at the empty line of fire and the fireballs that kept blooming. The power of Allen's guns and the firing frequency of the artillery are surprisingly high. Obviously, these weapons are far higher than the technology mastered by the empire. Keller couldn't help looking in Allen's direction, wondering where the earl found a master who could develop these weapons.
When the beast chariots arranged on both sides began to advance, Keller had already become dumbfounded.
