Chapter 1337 Arterial Transport Line

()..,

Three days later, the defenders of Shenchi Bay successfully withdrew from the encirclement before the devils closed in.

At this point, 80% of the territory of the Wolf Heart Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the devil.

The First Army was concentrated at the West Pass and the Central Pass of Congshan Mountain, which were also the only two natural passages between Langxin and Chenxi.

On the same day, the first trunk line of the north-south artery was finally connected, and the cement roads extending from both sides merged into one at the central pass of Congshan Mountain. This meant that Neverwinter City had a dedicated road directly to Wolf Heart.

When the first "Hump" convoy slowly appeared at the end of the horizon, there were bursts of exclamations from the onlookers.

"What is that? It's just like a hill!"

"With wheels, I think it should be considered a car..."

"Even the outer shell is made of iron. How much does it cost..."

"If it were pulled by horses, maybe even ten of them wouldn't be able to pull it, right?"

Humph, you ignorant guy. Glancing at the colleagues talking around him, White showed a look of disdain. This would make a big fuss. If you saw those iron birds that can fly in the air, your eyeballs would probably fall out of fear.

Naturally, he came here not to celebrate the opening of the road for the people of Graycastle, but like most coachmen, to get a good commission - since he encountered the devil in the heart of the wolf, he never dared to step into Graycastle again. The territory outside the human-controlled area was a step away. After all, it was God's blessing that the Iron Bird rescue could happen once. He didn't think he was so lucky that he would be bumped into by the Graycastle people every time.

The logistics transport team organized by the refugees inspired White. Although the income was not as good as transporting people, it was better than the safety. Moreover, no matter how thin his horse was and how old his car was, it was still better than the refugees' trolley.

However, he was obviously not the only one who noticed this. As the devil approached and the town residents evacuated, many coachmen also moved to the rear like him. The team that originally formed spontaneously has now suddenly grown a lot, and has begun to have the potential to become an industry. .

When he thought of this, White felt a little resentful. He was the one who came first, but he still had to fight for work with these young men. If Smart Guy were here, he would have probably recruited a transport team of his own, right?

In just a moment, those giant beasts had already arrived in front of everyone.

Although they looked heavy and clumsy, they were not much slower than horse-drawn carriages. Especially when its body was fully revealed, even White, who claimed to be well-informed, felt the pressure coming towards him.

Otherwise, these vehicles are simply too big.

The wheels alone are half a person tall and wider than the body. The steel rims are wrapped with a layer of pitch-black gelatin, which feels indescribably stable when pressed against the road. Looking back at the carriage that he originally regarded as a treasure, White would even feel ashamed of himself.

And after looking at the "car driver" who was looking down at him through the transparent glass window at the front of the car, this feeling became even more obvious.

White couldn't help but think to himself, if he used it to pull goods once, how many times could it be used to pull his own carriage? No matter what, it must be about ten times. According to the pay-per-volume method of Graycastle people, that is ten times the income...

"They issued a commission!"

Someone shouted something, and people immediately stopped talking and rushed into the camp. Although the carrying capacity of these unprecedented wheeled vehicles is much higher than that of horse-drawn carriages and carts, they still have to rely on them to deliver goods to various camps and mountainous areas.

White is no exception.

But there was one lingering thought in his mind.

It would be great if I could have a steel wheeled vehicle like this.

…

Falina pulled the handbrake and jumped out of the driver's cab.

She didn't expect that she would eventually return to Wolf Heart in this way - although she was determined, she was once a member of the church after all, and even if she passed the screening, the Administration Office would not necessarily allow her to go to the front line.

However, no one came to remind Farina of her identity as a criminal, and the driver's route arrangement was entirely based on performance. It only took her a week to master all the driving skills of the steam truck, and she passed the final test with perfect scores. When she proposed that she wanted to be a transporter on the route from Windward Loop to Shining River, the official in charge agreed on the spot.

This is not the first time she has passed this level. Although the surrounding scenery is still similar to the impression in her memory, the overall appearance is completely different - there are many temporary houses and tents near the level, and dark hard roads can be seen everywhere. , roadblocks, guard towers and barbed wire divide the camp into several distinct areas, and many people can be seen busy in any camp area.

You can feel it without asking, the smell of war is in the air here.

This smell was so familiar to Falina that it made her slightly distracted.

"What's wrong?" Joe's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"No, it's nothing," Farina shook her head, "I think I've got the answer."

As a member of the Judgment Army, she has a deeper understanding of the power of Graycastle than most people. If the opponent is just a noble, there is no need for the First Army to put up such a battle. If you say that everything in front of you is an illusion created to deceive her, it would be to think too highly of yourself.

Only the legendary devil can make Roland fight with all his strength.

"Then let's do it next..."

"First help the King of Graycastle win," Falina lowered her eyelids, "This is the beginning of my atonement."

"I will accompany you until the end." Joe gently held her hands.

"Are they Farina and Qiao from the second car crew?" A sudden voice from behind interrupted the two people's gaze.

"Exactly, what's the matter?" Falina coughed twice and turned around with a guilty conscience.

The man who looked like an officer stood at attention and saluted, and then said, "The commander-in-chief of the First Army, Mr. Iron Ax, wants to see all the drivers of the "Hump". He is now at the Congshan headquarters. Please come with me." Go.”

The convoy personnel had been told as early as during training that logistical transportation was also part of the military operation, and they should give priority to following the deployment of the army rather than the scheduled transportation plan.

Falina and Qiao looked at each other, then nodded.

…

After entering the Cage Mountain headquarters and seeing everyone present at the first glance, Farina realized that this meeting might not be that simple.

At least it won't be a simple condolence and welcome meeting.

Because the woman standing in the middle of the crowd suddenly had beautiful gray hair, which was a symbol of the bloodline of the Graycastle royal family.

After someone stood up and introduced her, she confirmed her judgment.

Her Royal Highness Princess Tilly of Graycastle, Commander-in-Chief of the First Army Iron Ax, Artillery Battalion Commander Fanner, Musketeer Battalion Commander Brian, Witch Alliance Operations Commander Agatha, it can be said that all high-level officials from the entire front line have gathered here. in the hall.

"Welcome to Cage Mountain," Tie Ax said straight to the point, "I have a task for you."
