Chapter 1645: Attack (3)

It was the third day after the big battle outside the New Great Wall.

The Ark Port is still calm, but the calm is not quiet, but rather noisy. During the day, there will be a huge movement in the ruins of the city, which is the voice of the residents rebuilding the city.

Half of the city has been cleaned up, and all the rubble and waste soil have been transported away. The former White Castle began to be rebuilt. The low walls and gates outside the White Castle have been built, and now people are paving the square. As for the original site of White Castle, it is now a construction site, and people are laying foundations.

Orlando went into battle himself, carrying the thick stone pillars to the foundation and placing them in the positions designated by the engineer.

Ruola watched all this with a smile on her face.

Her stomach can already swell, so it is inconvenient to help her, so she can only do some work on the construction site to boil water. She looked at the construction site on the White Castle and Orlando's sweaty figure, and she felt very happy.

Orlando has worked hard to make himself a good husband since he got married, and he has indeed done it now. He managed to make Rola forget many things, as well as that person. Now in Ruola's heart, he is the only one.

On the construction site, perhaps noticing Ruola's gaze, Orlando turned around and grinned, and waved his hand.

Ruola also waved.

"Lord Orlando is really kind to Madam." A maid behind said with a smile, "I thought that if I could find a man half as good as an adult, I would be satisfied."

The other maid scolded with a smile: "Don't be so flirtatious, okay?"

Ruola shook her head and smiled, "Stop making trouble, let's go, we have to work too."

The women boil water next to the construction site, and at noon, they cook food for the men. Ruola also cooks by herself, but there is no kitchen on the construction site and the tools are simple, so of course she can't cook any good dishes. She placed slices of pre-marinated beef on a rack and sprinkled salt and other things on the meat when it was cooked to medium-rare. When the meat is half-done, take it out and put it on a plate, and then continue to roast something else.

So when Orlando came back from the construction site, a plate was full of food. Orlando reached out and tore off a small piece of beef and threw it into his mouth to chew, saying, "It tastes really good."

"Of course, that's what Madam did." A maid said, bringing water.

Orlando took a sip and asked, "Is there any wine?"

"Yes, there is, Madam won't allow you to drink." The maid said.

"I heard it." Ruola rolled her eyes and smiled, "Okay, okay, give him something to drink, or he will annoy me to death."

Orlando shrugged and said, "Don't take me for an old man in his seventies, my dear."

When the maid went to get the wine, Orlando had already started sweeping the food on the plate. The food and building materials were sent by Edward, and almost every day a team of horses brought various things. And Edward also sent an army, about 2,000 people. Not much, but enough.

Seeing Orlando eating, Ruola said, "I don't know what's going on at the iron spear collar."

"Not good, very bad." Orlando put down the plate, his voice was heavy: "Edward regularly sent news from all over the empire. Not long ago, there was a big battle at Iron Gun Ridge and the New Great Wall in Northland."

"Is it those monsters?" Ruola's eyes widened.

Orlando nodded and said: "Edward called them the Burning Legion. The Burning Legion attacked many cities and territories of the Empire, but the two battles between the Iron Spear Territory and the New Great Wall were the most severe. Over the Iron Spear Territory, the Eastern Empire's army was almost defeated. I was disabled, and now the remnant army has retreated into our gun city and defended the city with my father. As for the battle on the side of the new Great Wall, the battle was even more tragic. The general of the dragon army, Woodrick, has died on the battlefield. The imperial army suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, another army of the Panlong Empire did not hold back, and temporarily forced the burning army back. Now the old commander-in-chief Rodke is back in charge of the army, and has transferred many armies back from various places. , sitting in the imperial capital."

"So serious?" Ruola said anxiously, "Then should we consider going back to Dawn Castle, just in case?"

Orlando knew what she was going to say, shook her hand and said, "It's the same everywhere,

That day, only King Pingxi's army forced Edward to run out of trump cards. Now this burning army is coming even more fiercely. If it really comes, it will be the same in Dawn Castle. "

"How did this happen?" Ruola lowered her head and said, "I thought that His Majesty Julian would sit on the throne, and we could finally pass the day in peace. But first, the Panlong Empire's army came across the ocean, and then this unknown army arrived. Where did the Burning Army come from. What happened to this world?"

Orlando couldn't answer this question either. He patted Ruola's hand and said, "Actually, that Burning Legion broke our siege. You didn't know about the battle outside Bauhinia City at the time in Dawn Castle. In the past, the burning army once participated in the battle and repelled King Jiwu's blood-clothed army, and even King Jiwu died at the hands of the leader of the opponent."

Ruola looked up: "Then why is this army attacking cities everywhere?"

"I don't know, maybe, there are two such armies?" Orlando said casually.

"Here comes the wine, here comes the wine." The returning maid said proudly, holding a bottle of wine in her hand, she said, "I have been looking for it for a long time before I found it, Lord Orlando, how can you thank me?"

"Kiss you?" Orlando asked intentionally.

Ruola rolled her eyes: "You think beautifully!"

Then there was a burst of laughter.

This kind of laughter can be heard from time to time in many places. Although the reconstruction work is not easy, people can find happiness in this way. Because this is their home.

On the edge of the ruins of the city, the army sent by Edward built a weak line of defense here. Several checkpoints were arranged on the defense line, and each checkpoint was guarded by a small team of about seven to ten people. Send message.

One of the sentry points is a small building with a height of two floors. The building should have been taller, but during the war, the part above the two floors has been broken and collapsed, leaving only a few dilapidated walls and half of the road leading to the upper floor. stairs.

Soldiers used this small building as a temporary sentinel. Most of the soldiers patrolled nearby, one stayed downstairs and the other was on the second floor. The second floor acts as a watchtower. When there are no tall buildings nearby, the wilderness on the other side has a wide view. Standing on the second floor, you can see a row of forest lines on the wilderness side. If something appeared on the wilderness, the soldiers on the second floor might see it clearly.

It was noon, and the soldiers who had eaten took a nap in the shadows holding their muskets. He suddenly heard a faint beast roar, and he jumped up with a jolt. Then he smiled self-deprecatingly. Ever since Edward used the house trick, he had cleared a large area of ​​the forest. The animals and beasts in the forest have been driven away long ago, so where did the roar of the beasts come from?

Thinking that he was sleepy, the soldier was about to shrink back, but he didn't want to take a look in the direction of the wilderness, but he couldn't look away!
