Fifty-Eight Troops Heading South

In the next second, the fire and the shock wave swelled under his crotch, raising his whole body into the sky. His eyes were instantly dark, and there was only a roar in his ears.

This explosion seemed to sound the horn of the Alan Hill grenadiers' attack. With the huge black smoke rising into the air, countless Alan Hill soldiers wearing M42 steel helmets, holding their weapons, crossed the already A mountain of corpses of Arrant soldiers.

"Long live Ailan Hill!" A few seconds later, a lieutenant Ailan Hill with a pistol stepped on the charred and broken corpse of General Arlant, looking at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion that had been smashed open, He ordered to his subordinates.

"Come on!" Following his order, countless soldiers with rifles rushed through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Soon, the green king's flag of Arlant, which was flying over the city lord's mansion, was thrown from the roof, and the black king's flag of Alan Hill, the golden eagle, was hung on the towering flagpole by the soldiers.

The Alan Hill officer wearing leather boots looked at the decoration of the city lord's mansion, which was even more luxurious than the castle of their grand duke Chris, and walked to Adam, the lord of Naru City, surrounded by soldiers.

"I...I am Adam, the city lord of the Arlant Empire! I am a person with a title! I demand noble treatment!" Adam, who already knew that he was dying, looked at the "poor people who didn't even have armor" in front of Alan Hill. The soldier, shouted: "I am willing to pay the ransom for myself!"

"Hahahaha!" A battalion commander from Alan Hill came to Adam with a pistol. He couldn't help laughing after hearing Adam's nonsense, which made the atmosphere in the city lord's mansion very cheerful.

Then, the battalion commander looked at Adam, the chubby city lord of the Arrant Empire, and raised his pistol at him: "I'm sorry, according to General Waglon's order, the city lord of Naru City, Adam, is a sinner. must be punished."

Having said this, the battalion commander ignored Adam, who was already trembling like a sieve. He pulled the trigger of his pistol, and the bullet flew out of the muzzle and pierced Adam's forehead. The gun rang in the open air. The hall of the city lord's mansion reverberated, as if it was a death knell: "Bah..."

Outside the city of Naaru, Vagron, who dismounted from his horse, threw the whip in his hand to his new adjutant. His former aide-de-camp, Coria, has taken over as a commander in one direction.

He looked at a very special toy in front of him, and said with interest, "With this thing, we can send the news from the front line back to the rear?"

"Come on! Push hard! Hurry up!" Several non-commissioned officers surrounded the iron shelf and cheered the four sweaty soldiers: "There is already a response there! It's a success!"

That's right, this is the legendary human power generator, which relies on a device similar to a spinning exercise machine, and relies on a device that people use to pedal to generate electricity. On the other side of this device, is a radio transmitter.

"I have it! I have it! Quickly send the report! Send back the news of the capture of Naru! Quickly!" Several officers of the command saw that the electric energy pointer on the machine began to vibrate, and immediately came to the spirit, and urged the electrician to say .

The electromechanical operator immediately began to beat the firing pin in front of him, and sent out the message that had been simplified to the point where it could no longer be simplified: "Capture Naru!"

At almost the same time, in the distant city of Serris, more than a dozen alchemists were mixing a brand-new synthetic rubber with the test tubes in their hands. Their experiments were careful, and Chris, who was in charge of supervising the experimenters, was constantly rummaging through the experimental reports in his mind, hoping to get more useful information.

The magic ball of knowledge brought by the great magician Frenzberg helped Chris cultivate more than a dozen "artificial traversers" who could help him complete some tasks. However, these people are still in the experimental stage of debugging the knowledge in their minds. Once they are ready, the expansion speed of industrial civilization may increase by a dozen times.

William is now trying to document how the Sphere of Knowledge is made, one of his most important recent endeavors. In addition, an auxiliary job he needs to do is to dictate some secrets of the Holy Demon Empire.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemies will never end in a hundred battles. Chris needs to fully understand the strength and weaknesses of the Magic Empire in order to prescribe the right medicine, and take the initiative when facing the Magic Empire army in the future.

Frenzberg is currently researching a brand-new machine. According to him, he should find a way to integrate magic into the machine to make the machine work better. It's a pity that his research direction is basically wrong recently, and Chris can't give him any clear pointers in this regard.

After all, Chris mastered industrial civilization, and he actually knew nothing about magic. So he can easily draw the design drawings of a car, but he doesn't know anything about a car powered by magic.

"Huh..." An alchemist, or a chemist, put down the test tube in his hand, let out a long breath, and completed his experiment: a kind of artificial rubber with better elasticity and less aging was born. A special material requested by Chris.

With this material, Chris will miniaturize his internal combustion engine and start working hard on gasoline engines: in his opinion, only by developing vehicles as a means of transportation can his combat troops assemble and move more quickly. .

If you count the economic benefits of automobiles in transportation, then the changes brought by this means of transportation to Ireland Hill will be obvious. After all, building railroads takes time anyway, but cars don't—cars are fine as long as the road isn't too potholed.

"We started laying the railway in three sections, and each section was repaired from both sides to the middle. The speed is actually very fast." This is Des's report on his railway work yesterday. It is expected that this brand-new railway will be completed in 70 It was completed and opened to traffic within days and became the main artery of Ireland Hill.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war, this railway would not have been built at such a speed. Because of the need to mobilize more materials, Chris ordered the construction of roads up and down the country to be accelerated.

What's more interesting is that in addition to the railway from Ferry City to Seris and then to Tubao, the railway from Hanhai to Beijun is also being built at the same time. The speed of this construction is really astounding - because no one will build a railway like this, just like a joke.

Even the most rational person, when building a railway, will think about whether it will lose money if the railway cannot meet the requirements of use. Chris didn't have to think about such a boring question. He knew the answer for a long time. From the beginning, he invested 120,000 enthusiasm to build a railway track that no one knows about the future.

This kind of construction mode can only be used by Chris, who has a golden finger. He started to invest in the construction of railways before the locomotive was produced! Now, a nearly 100-kilometer-long railway is about to be built, and Chris's locomotive is still being assembled and tested in the factory...

Now, the monarch of Alan Hill is thinking about whether to start construction now and build a railway from Serris City to Naaru City - so that he can quickly transport his troops to the front line, into the war.

"Dangdangdang..." Just when he was thinking wildly and dragged his thoughts to the distant war front, the door of the laboratory was knocked from outside. After getting permission, an officer pushed the door into the laboratory and stood behind Chris.

"Your Majesty! The news just came back from the front line. Our army has won a great victory. The target of the first phase of the attack, Naru City, is already under our control." Seeing that Chris stopped his work, The officer immediately lowered his head and softly reported the latest news from the front that he had just received.

"Oh? Naru has been taken down?" Chris was also very excited when he heard the news, put down what was in his hand, and took the telegram from the front line from the officer.

This thing can be said to be very precious, because this is the first time in human combat that the telegraph is used to transmit the news of victory, and the battle situation on the front line was transmitted back hundreds of miles away in just a few minutes. rear.

"Capturing Naru..." Looking at the brief sentence in the telegram, Chris smiled: "Good job! Spread the news! Then order the soldiers to publicize in the city and the factory area to spread the news of the victory. Get out! This is a victory for all the people of Ireland Hill! This is a victory for all of us!"

At the same time, on the front line, Vagron was not showing a happy expression. He frowned slightly, a little unsure whether he should continue to attack south or east, or should he stand in place.

The speed of the previous attack was too fast, everything went so smoothly, and the smooth progress made him a little confused: if he attacked further south, his troops would rush to "Bud" and "Maricha" respectively, including Nathan. Lu is equivalent to letting him disperse the already precious troops.

If you count the city of "Wolavor" to the east, and the roads and land connecting these cities, then the attacking force of Ailan Hill is almost completely dispersed. Vagron was the front-line commander of this battle. There were only 12 regiments under his command, and 5 were dissatisfied with the combat strength of the division.

The current situation is that the two divisions heading south are not the main divisions and are not full of troops. They are the 5th division commanded by Coria in the direction of Bude and the 6th division commanded by Bourges in the direction of Maricha. .

The troops attacking east were the 4th Division under the command of Mordelaire, the general reserve was the 3rd Division under the command of Wilkes, and the 2nd Division under the command of Vagron... In addition to the 3rd Division of the Reserve, there were Except for the 3 regiments under the 2nd Division, the rest of the troops are composed of 2 regiments, and the troops are actually not sufficient.
