Chapter 859 Military Airport

After Rody actually took control of the "Rose Cross", Efta's actual control area has actually crossed the middle of the kingdom, and the "Holy Temple" has become a tentacles that radiate and secretly compete for the royal power. However, Charles II was not a fool. Before spring came, the four lords around the "temple" had already made a gesture of guarding, and they began to compete and confront each other both openly and secretly.

Everyone thinks that Efta's army will go to the "Holy Temple" first, but the location of Fort Domic is obviously different from the "Holy Temple". It is located on the west side of the mountain range that runs across the Karen Kingdom. From here If you want to go to the royal territory, you have to go northward for more than a hundred kilometers and bypass the mountains.

So when he heard that the destination was "Fort Domick", Losak himself felt strange.

"Why here? Don't we go to the temple?"

"Why do you care so much? What does the first article of the military regulations say?"

"obey orders…"

The squad leader shrank his neck, and then looked at the unmelted snow on the roadside outside the car window: "If I remember correctly, it should take two weeks for an ordinary caravan to go from a place like Elson to Fort Domick. How far is it?"

"It's marked on the map. The straight-line distance is 320 kilometers. Can't you remember the contents of the military map?"

Lorshak is very familiar with these data. Since he went to class every day, he always looks at the map of Karen Kingdom to measure the distance back and forth. Not to mention Fort Domic, if you ask him the distance between any two cities, he can calculate the approximate distance, and he can even calculate any obstacles that may be encountered in the middle. This is done by Sylvia and others The "reconnaissance plane" contributed a lot, but it is clear that the current Losak and others do not know that the "plane" is involved in the map surveying work.

"More than three hundred kilometers, platoon leader, how long do you think we have to go?"

"According to the speed of travel during the exercise, it is estimated that we will arrive this evening."

"Really? It takes half a month for others to walk, but we can get there in one day?"

The squad leader's eyes were wide open. Although he knew that the speed of the truck was far faster than that of the horse-drawn carriage, he still couldn't digest the impact of "shrinking the ground into an inch"...In this era, even cavalry units have to rely on In order to preserve the strength in battle, the two-legged horses are rarely carried on weekdays. In the Karen Kingdom, however, there was no such thing as a "quick march" in the army of the nobles. Everyone walked lazily, excluding the camping time, and a team of thousands of people walked 30 kilometers a day, which was not bad.

Because of this comparison, the squad leader and soldiers expressed difficulty in accepting the concept of "three hundred kilometers a day". They didn't study physics,

Although I know the truck is going fast, I don't know how to calculate the speed per hour. Losak had been exposed to these when he was learning to repair trucks in the "Fresh Class", so he had a clearer concept, but if he was asked to explain to the people in front of him, no one would understand.

"If you don't believe me, just stay there and arrange for the soldiers to sleep with their eyes closed in turn. If they can't sleep, they have to sleep. They must maintain their physical strength and combat ability at all times. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, sir!"

Following these orders, the compartment gradually became quiet. The "road" leading to Fort Domic was built in the last two months. Because the construction speed was too fast, the caravans and locals in Efta didn't even know that there was such a road, so there was no road from the beginning to the end. No one else could be seen, but occasionally passing deer or wild animals were driven away by the loudspeakers. If they couldn't be driven away, the soldiers of the engineering battalion at the front of the car came down to dispose of them and shot them to death with a row of hard crossbows. After that, they dragged the corpses to the side of the road. , the team continued to gallop on this flat road.

Although the speed is only 60 kilometers per hour, for this era, it is definitely called "fast and lightning".

The team set off in the morning, rested for an hour at noon to replace the spar energy and had a meal. Before the sun set, the whole team arrived at Fort Domic at the end of the road.

The whole journey took seven hours and the mileage was 347 kilometers.

Because of poor shock absorption, the soldiers of the engineering battalion felt numb in their buttocks and were about to lose consciousness all the way, but when they tried to get out of the car, they all felt a little dizzy...not because of motion sickness, but because of disbelief.

"Platoon, platoon leader, is this really Fort Domic?? Could it be that Elson just built a fort outside to deceive us?"

The indicator board marked "Fort Domic" was inserted by the side of the road, and the crude fortress not far away appeared in front of them, but most soldiers still could not accept this fact.

"Where are so many nonsense?! Can't you see the Damia Mountains in the east?! Do you think this is similar to the Gondola Mountains? Or do you not know the difference between east, west, north and south?"

Losak's logic was clear, and his knowledge of geography and the skills he had learned immediately made him sure that this was Fort Domick, which made him feel unspeakably excited. But as a soldier, he understood that everything should be based on the task, so he hurriedly began to look for the sign of the team assembly, and quickly rushed over with several squads under him.

The soldiers of the engineering battalion did not know that they had become the first batch of soldiers of "truck transport", and they were also the first team to use "spar energy" for military operations in this era.

Fort Domic is located in a remote location, the territory it belongs to is economically backward, and the fort itself is in disrepair. Although it is called a "fortress", it is actually just a dilapidated earthen building that can accommodate hundreds of people. The highest part of the city wall is only five meters. From a distance, it looks like a broken stone platform. If it was three months ago, this place would definitely be a desolate and abandoned place. But ever since the arcane puppet who built the road extended the road all the way from Elson City, the entire area has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The open space that had been overgrown with weeds was flattened by the arcane puppet, and roads leading to different areas were planned on it. Losak can now recognize a lot of vocabulary, so he can see that the functions of the respective areas are written on the signs of these roads: "truck parking area", "first military camp", "second military camp", "supply stop one Area", "Materials stay in the second area", "training ground", "canteen", "bathroom", "hospital" and so on. There are many areas that are still empty spaces, but they are filled with various types of wood.

Losak knew that the later engineering battalion would probably be invested in this aspect of construction. After all, carpenters and bricklayers like them were best at this kind of work before. Looking at it now, this area should be a "rear position" of the entire battlefield, mainly for the transfer of military supplies and the treatment of wounded soldiers.

"Lorshak! Take your people and report to the First Military Battalion within a quarter of an hour!"

Hearing the company commander's order, he immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes! Sir!"

Turning his head around, Losak executed the order meticulously, and kicked the monitors whose faces were pale due to the bumps: "Be quick! I don't think there are any tasks tonight. If you want to rest, let's talk at night!"

"yes!"

The soldiers were very convinced of the platoon leader, and quickly got up to form a team. As a result, when they chanted the slogan "one two one" and ran along the road to the "First Army Battalion", the dense crackling sound made everyone tremble involuntarily. too much...

On the other side of the field of vision, on the north side of Fort Domic, all kinds of trees that were originally densely covered were uprooted by invisible forces. Thousands of tree trunks were floating in the air, and then they were moved aside by invisible magic power and piled up on the ground. superior. As for the open space with an area of ​​two to three square kilometers, huge arcane puppets lined up soon, repeating the steps of building roads. The soft ground was compacted, flattened, and reinforced at a speed visible to the naked eye. It became a huge and flat square.

Lorshak's soldiers had already arrived at the camp, and because there was no order from their superiors, they stood at attention here. So in the next ten minutes, they witnessed similar scenes repeated five or six times, and the area that originally belonged to the forest was cleared out of a huge square area one kilometer wide and two kilometers long...

This kind of miracle displayed by everyone caused the soldiers to fight in two directions, and they didn't know how to deal with it. If it weren't for the discipline created by the continuous training in the past few months, they would have run away in the distance in fright.

At this time, everyone in the engineering battalion had assembled, and the four hundred or so soldiers stared at the newly dug open space in a daze. The scene of tens of thousands of trees piled up on one side was really shocking. Realized that all of this was done by the magician who was standing not far away and wearing a trench coat.

The military order is like a mountain, no one dares to whisper, the company commander is waiting here with a serious face in a tall and straight military uniform. It didn't take long for all the soldiers to see the figure in high heels stepping towards the front of the team.

The beautiful appearance made the group of young men hold their breath, but the powerful momentum and the real magic fluctuations in their gestures made them not even have the courage to look up.

"The layout drawings of the military airport are all here. If you have any questions, please report to Elson City at any time."

"Yes, sir!"

The commander of the engineering battalion was drawn from the Elson barracks. He has a high level of knowledge and a keen military sense. After hearing the words of the dragon in front of him, he stood at attention and saluted, and said loudly: "I promise to complete the task."

Kardashian nodded, turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, her body turned into a giant dragon. Her spread wings covered the sky, and then quickly disappeared into the sky after flapping her wings...

The dragon did not abandon Efta!

All the engineers were repeating this idea in their hearts. They looked at the distant sky, and suddenly their hearts were full of pride. However, the platoon leader Losak who stood at the head of the team was thinking about another question: Why is a military airport built here?

Those things that fly back and forth over Elson, should they stop here?

But the answers to these questions are destined to be revealed after the war begins. Lorshak involuntarily looked towards the continuous Damian Mountains to the east. The enemy was on the other side of the mountain, but Lorshak had no idea who it was or how many.

But he knew very well that he didn't need to know these things.

When the war started, everyone became a part of a huge machine. The only thing he and all the soldiers in the engineering battalion had to do was to perfectly execute the orders and tasks given by their superiors.
