Chapter 1588: Blood Rose
The chest wall of the observation deck was directly destroyed by unknown forces. This could block the crossbow, or even a rock wall with one or two fireballs, but it was torn apart in an instant as if it were fragile cardboard. The impact was far from over, and it directly wrapped Major Sach's entire arm into a spiral blazing storm, and the wrapped iron armor was stirred into a pile of flesh and blood fragments on the spot.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have fainted from pain at this time, but Major Sach was a veteran who had been fighting for the rest of his life. He was even more grateful for the pain. Just now, if he had lowered his head for a half second, it would have exploded not an arm but his upper body and head. Although the attack was still completely unknown, judging from the flying stones and smoke, the leopard man did not dare to doubt its power at all.
The battle-hardened Major Leopard Man lay behind the chest wall, covered the broken wound, gritted his teeth and rolled a few times, rolled directly to the door of the tower, and then stood up hard by the door.
"Enemy attack!" he roared loudly. At this time, in addition to this line that had been yelled by many people, he would definitely be yelled by more people in the future, and he really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, his subordinates reacted in time, and when the boom sounded just now, they had already reacted quickly.
No matter how bad the noble joint army is, the squinting Chenhai Fleet is very capable. No matter how many road specimens are there in front of the veterans of the Sixth Legion and the Sky Rose Legion, the one who guards such an important position in the observatory must be elite.
Now, the elite troops have quickly opened the gate of the observatory tower, and two soldiers, plus the Leopard Major, were about to retreat inside. More than a dozen people rushed to the city wall, probably to operate the large flame crossbows. At the same time, the lighthouse at the top of the observatory began to flash continuously at a rhythm of one long and two short, which was an early warning signal from the Federal Navy.
Under the cover of the flashing light, a soldier ran to the fixed police number placed on the side of the city wall. However, before he arrived at his destination, everyone felt a gust of wind flew away, and the soldier's head exploded on the spot like a balloon. His still complete torso pounced on the city wall, twitched twice, but he was not dead for a while.
Even those who have been fighting for the rest of their lives would be a little scared to see this scene. However, the deceased's comrades had no more time to mourn him, but they only saw that the city wall was shattered by spiral shock waves one after another. The flame crossbow placed on the cannon position could not be left well and they broke up on the spot. The alchemy crossbow that had been placed on the cannon stand was ignited by the blazing wind and exploded, and it turned into flames soaring into the sky with a blast. Many soldiers who had just run to the cannon position were affected. They either turned into ashes with the flames and crossbow machines, or were directly lifted out of the city wall by the shock wave, and fell from the ten-story tower. Even if they were lucky enough to not fall into the sea of clouds, they would not be alive when they fell on the ground.
The survivors were completely stunned by this sudden attack. In their chaotic hearing, they finally vaguely captured the sound of a large group of flying beasts slamming their wings. Then, countless flying cavalrymen, as if they had emerged out of thin air, finally showed their figures in the night. Without any resistance, they had already arrived above the Daroshul Fortress.
More than a dozen cavalrymen landed quickly in flying beasts and jumped down two or three meters away from the roof of the observatory. These people were all wearing strong and sophisticated plate armor, but they were still as strong as monkeys. They were obviously masters. Looking at their mounts, they knew they were the best adult horned eagle, and there was a larger male griffin among them.
The owner of the griffin was a young man wearing Auckland Knight Armor. He was about thirty years old and had a tough appearance. He was holding an Auckland Knight Sword in one hand and holding a guide pistol in the other hand.
With one charge, he sent all the survivors to death, then stopped in front of Major Sach, looked at the other party with interest, and then sneered.
"Southness leopard?" he sneered, "I said, it's not great to stay honestly in the South Continent to raise elephants, why do you have to run here to die?"
Well, the Leopards are a famous fighting nation on the prairie in the central Southnes, but their civilization is still in the Stone Tribe era. I thought I had read less books, so I was easily fooled without culture, and I was often fooled by the city-state nobles along the coast of the north to be cannon fodder thugs. Of course, for this reason, the Leopards also had the opportunity to get in touch with the outside world. Many Leopards even crossed the sea and came to Gabriela to ask for food, such as Major Sachs.
Of course, once the simple country people come into contact with these five turbidities and evil worlds, it is difficult for them to go back. Often, what they dislike the most is to remind themselves of the fact that they were actually a countryman.
Sure enough, Major Leopard Man let out an roar, then turned his head and ran away, then flew and jumped directly off the city wall. As an elite of war, he was angry, but the more angry he was, the more he had to obey his inner voice. He lost an arm now, how could he fight these aggressive enemies? What's more...
"I saw it, I really saw it..." The leopard man was filled with storm. Just now, with the light of fire, he had already seen the rose emblem on the other party's shoulder armor clearly, and was even more prepared to obey his inner voice.
"Sky Rose! He, how could they be here?"
The Fourth Legion Sky Rose is an unbeaten iron army established by Lu Xi Linge Berenkast. Although it has only been two years since the establishment was restored, its glory is enough to make all the federal troops unable to look directly at it. Although most of the senior legions have been replaced by their own people of the aristocratic family, the commander Imon Veranderbat, who is now in charge, is the younger brother of Shirata and an outstanding talent among the mid-zodiac generation of the family, the Emergency Committee has never been able to control the luxury of the Sky Rose Legion. After all, since the day the legion was established, it has been stamped with too many rose emblems.
If the person cannot be stabilized and allowed to arrive at the Iron Rose Fortress, the Fourth Legion will "resist"! This is already the consensus among the major figures of the State of Emergency Committee.
But the problem is that the man has not arrived at the Iron Rose Fortress! Even if he has arrived, there is no reason for them to come so fast! More importantly, even if they really come so fast, so many flying cavalry, and thousands of cavalry, how could it be bypass such a tight fortress surveillance network without being discovered? Even the sentries at the outpost in front are all corpses and food that should be used to be beheaded for 99 minutes, there is no reason for those magical warning agencies to react!
Well, it is really possible... The major military magic weapon suppliers in the federal government are all under the leadership of the aristocratic nobles, but for a long time, they have exposed several fraud cases of military supplies purchases. The military magic weapons bought by the military are either counterfeit goods that are short of weight or n-hand goods that are almost at their service life. The Senate and government controlled by the aristocratic nobles only took a few white gloves and came out as scapegoats. The rest should be done or what, nothing changed.
...In this way, it is normal for the fortress to have a shortage of counterfeit products.
"National worms! Terribs! You should kill your whole family! You can't even let your pet dog go!" Major Sach was shocked by his imagination, and was very sad and angry for a moment, and almost wanted to turn against him.
However, no matter whether he wanted to make trouble or resist stubbornly, he had no chance again. The leopard man who fell into the air was concentrated in the middle of the torso by a bullet from a guide gun. He did not have a big blood hole in his waist and abdomen, but his whole body was torn into pieces and broke into two pieces on the spot.
Major Sach was destined to die under the guide gun. He avoided the first sneak attack, but could not escape the second time. The Knight, who had just completed a beautiful mobile target shooting, opened his guide gun and started to load bullets with a small number of actions. He had not been too long since he got this new weapon with great power, and he was not very skilled in playing - what? You said that since you are not very skilled, why did you shoot so accurately just now? I'm with you, aiming guns is more than 9 times easier than bows and arrows. It's easy for a person who can play with a crossbow into a sharpshooter.
In short, in less than a minute, the observatory at the highest point of the entire fortress, along with its attached watchtower, lighthouse and observation deck, all fell into the hands of the raiders. However, the young knight who had completed all of the above did not react at all with complacent reactions. While loading bullets, he shouted at his subordinates.
"Neon, take your team into the tower, know all the enemies inside, guard the gate! Place our children in the gun position on the third floor! That's right, the muzzle is opposite the square over there."
"Larur, you and your people go to the watchtower. Yes, remove that flame crossbow and replace it with ours!"
"Rant, put cannons on the walls over there, right! That's it!"
Under the command of the knight, his subordinates quickly installed a... guided cannon on the watchtower, the third floor and the zenith of the watchtower. Two of them faced the port area in the distance, and the other aimed at the street intersection in the direction of the city. Although they looked very small and portable cannons, even the barrel length was no more than an ordinary adult man, and the muzzle was only the size of a bowl.
However, that was indeed a guide cannon.
"Sthorn A-type" mountain cannon. The new product of the Northern Industrial Chamber of Commerce is specially prepared for battlefields with complex terrain. The disadvantage is that its power is much weaker than that of the Reaper and the General of the Collapse Mountain. After all, the caliber represents justice and is objective truth; the advantage is that it is easy to carry and transfer. After dismantling, it can be pulled and taken away on the horse's back. Moreover, it can be beaten accurately and far.
The first test shot of the two stings against the port area was built. One shot hit a two-story building in the port area and completed the first step of the demolition work on the spot; the other shot directly hit a cruiser of the Chenhai Fleet.
The wooden warship without the magic shield was really unsatisfactory in defense. The ship was pierced through the hull on the spot. The shells fell into the cabin and a violent explosion occurred, overturning the half-pulled deck, and the bow was blown out of shape.
"Boom!" The poisonous stinger installed on the watchtower also showed its power. The "small-sized" shells hit the street entrance opposite the artillery door, and a team of defenders who were coming to reinforce the scene were knocked out.
The morale of the Flying Knights who occupied the commanding heights was greatly enhanced. They suddenly felt that what they needed to do in the future was probably to clear important hostile targets in the fortress one by one. This might be a very interesting fixed-point shooting game.
The young knight who was commanding the shooting looked up at his comrades passing by over his head, and his eyes remained on the conspicuous male griffin for several seconds. He felt that the rider on the griffin's back should be looking at him now, so he waved to salute.
This is indeed the case. Valerius, the knight on the griffin's back, threw a glimpse of praise at his most capable eldest son and nodded slightly.
"Brother is so amazing. So much time has occupied the commanding heights." The young man behind him exclaimed, full of pride and longing. This is a young knight in his early twenties, also wearing Oakland-style knight armor, with rose emblems sealed on his breastplate and a female grille riding under his crotch.
"I have the equipment to the teeth, and I have an advanced guide gun in my hand. Coupled with the suddenness of the surprise attack, if he couldn't take the observatory so quickly, I wouldn't have the shame to see my lord." Although Valerius said that, the pride on his face was still quite obvious.
The former Saint Laurent Knight, Lord Valerius, was actually a winner in life with many children and many blessings. He had a total of six sons and three daughters. As a traditional Auckland warrior, he trained all six sons into excellent warriors. When Qifeng introduced the old knight to Lu Xi, he left his wife, two youngest sons and daughters at Neosfia's home, and he joined Lu Xi's command with four of his best sons, of course, all of them served in the Fourth Legion. Among them, the eldest son Palasa and the fourth son Yarge joined him in the cavalry unit and served as grassroots officers.
This kind of operation sounds nepotism, but the federal army has always been this kind of habit. The military chief's aunts and aunts and even the relatives who are indisputable are spreading to various key positions in the army. In comparison, Lu Xi has paid considerable attention to appearances. What's more, Valerius's sons are indeed excellent, at least much better than the original officers.
"He knows what he should do. Now, Yarg, do you understand your mission?"
"I understand!" Yarg Valerius, who was just twenty, bowed to his father, took his subordinates away from the large army, and flew towards the east-watch fort in the distance.
There were only more than a hundred cavalry in this team, and they did not carry the parts of the guide cannon, but they were all carrying shotguns. So, when they flew over the defenders besieging Dongwang Fort, these unlucky guys enjoyed the comfort of high-altitude bombing in the Middle World in advance.
As explosions sounded continuously on the observatory, Dongwang Fort, Port Area and other military major areas, the defenders of the entire fortress should have realized that the crisis is coming, right? However, it was only then that it was too late.
At this moment, Andriel, who had already made a big fuss in the warehouse area, listened to the sound of explosions getting closer and closer, and watched the flying cavalry pass by the sky in the fire, but there was no trace of joy on his face.
"Sure enough... he is really prepared!" Andrier murmured.
