On the upper reaches of the Ambergris River, at the north and south bifurcations of the Dragon Tooth Mountains, tens of thousands of shacks are scattered between the mountains, forests and riversides.
Countless streams flowed out of the Dragon Mountains, gradually converging into a large river, rushing towards the east.
This city with crisscrossed rivers is the capital of the Water Weasel Principality - Dragon Tongue City, commonly known as "Weasel City".
Except for the water purification plants lined up along the river and the royal palace in the city center, most of the buildings in Weasel City are shacks made of bamboo and leaves.
Although it looks a bit backward, more like a large gathering place after a disaster than a city, it is a real large city with a population of more than five million people.
The Principality of Water Weasel can be said to be the most special country in the entire Ambergris River Basin. What's special about this is that 10% of the residents in the city are national civil servants who are directly allocated money and wages by Ice Blue City.
Here, they are the group of people with the highest status besides the water weasel royal family.
The guardian of mountains, forests and water sources.
The range of patrols includes the entire Julong Mountains, and they need to protect the water resources of the Ambergris River and provide tap water for the entire Ambergris River basin. At the same time, they shoulder the responsibility of protecting the natural ecology of the Julong Mountains and protecting the forests from fires and Illegal felling.
However, due to its remote location and the fact that only some of its people are patrollers who eat royal food, compared to other countries in the Ambergris River, the Mink Weasel Principality can be said to be the poorest.
Due to the lack of flat land, planting and animal husbandry are underdeveloped, and due to the protection of water quality, aquaculture cannot be developed. They can only make a living by hunting in the mountains and collecting some rare medicinal materials.
"Hurry up!" "You bunch of pigs!" "Stop procrastinating, or I'll kill you!"
At the city gate, a group of armed men were dragging ropes. Men and women dressed as villagers were tied to the ropes, followed by large groups of pigs, sheep, dogs and other domestic animals.
"Brother, you have gained a lot this time!" "Hahaha, it's all luck, luck!"
Faced with dangerous elements who had obviously violated human conventions, the city defenders not only did not arrest them, but also laughed and laughed with these people as if they were a family.
"Wow, these women's butts are big enough!" "They will definitely sell for a good price." "If you like it, I can send a few to you tonight so that the brothers can have a good time." "That's great, Thanks in advance, brothers!”
The ancestors of the water weasel people are a branch of the Xiaodongzhou Yu people. They live near the sea and make a living by fishing. When they can't catch fish in the off-season, they often engage in piracy.
This group of people has bandit genes in their bones. Even if they settle down in the mountains, they still have the habit of going out to rob.
The villagers on the border of the Red Dragon Principality are often harassed by bandits and hate the water weasels. Because the water weasels are generally less than 1.6 meters tall, the villagers despise them as "Japanese", which basically means "dwarf bandits".
In normal times, the Japanese would not dare to easily provoke the Red Dragon Principality, but whenever there was a domestic chaos, they would take advantage of the situation and rob homes and homes, steal money and food, and seize meat slaves and sell them abroad.
A city defender stepped forward and touched a female villager's buttocks, and was spat on by the woman on the spot.
"Girls, it's quite spicy!" "I'll have a taste of your grandpa's power tonight!"
A group of people were joking and teasing the female villagers. Suddenly, several people ran in from outside the city gate, looking panicked and shouting: "Someone, someone is coming!"
"They, they're right outside!" "Quickly call the police, no, notify the city defenders!"
These people were covered in dust and had blood on their faces.
"Asshole, don't you see that the uncle is having fun!"
The city garrison soldier's interest was interrupted and he felt extremely unhappy. He grabbed one of them by the collar and grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist with his other hand. He yelled: "This is the royal city. If you disturb the order, be careful and I will kill you." about you!"
"asshole!"
The man who was grabbed by the collar pushed the other person away, slapped him with his backhand, then pointed at the dusty epaulettes on his body and cursed, "Asshole, look at it clearly!"
The city defender soldier was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, and recognized the other person, "You, you are from the Military Intelligence Department!"
"Asshole, go and notify the city defense office, the Red Dragon Principality's army is about to attack!"
"Wha, what!" Due to excessive shock, everyone was unable to react and froze on the spot.
Why is it so misbehaving? The troops of the Red Dragon Principality came to the door of his house.
"What are you still doing? Go quickly!"
Under the loud roar of the officer, the soldiers of the city garrison finally came to their senses, hurriedly took out their walkie-talkies and informed their superiors.
Since the Qing Kingdom and the Yellow Kingdom jointly initiated a state of war in the Red Earth Continent, military-related information cannot be transmitted using a black watch and can only be transmitted using a traditional wireless walkie-talkie.
"Boom boom boom!"
Less than three minutes later, the city gate was bombarded by artillery, causing smoke and bricks to fly everywhere.
"Thirty-five millimeter cannon, bastard! It's the Valkyrie mecha!"
The city gate officers who rushed to the scene heard the model number on the other side from the sound of cannons.
"Quick, guard the city gate and delay!"
The officer drew the pistol from his waist and rushed towards the city gate. But before he even got close, he was blown several meters away by the roaring shells.
I saw blue light flashing on the officer's body, and the psychic armor blocked the fatal damage, but the huge impact made his whole body fall apart and his ears kept ringing.
"We must not let them in!" "Fight them!"
One moment you were enjoying your leisure time, and the next moment it was a Shura field.
Outside the city gate, tens of thousands of soldiers and mechas emerged from the woods and fired fiercely at the city wall.
The number of mechas is not that large, but they are all Valkyries. The complex mountain and forest terrain blocks most mechas, but it cannot stop humanoid mechas with comprehensive performance.
In less than ten minutes, the minerk army at the gate of the city was beaten to pieces, with corpses everywhere.
The attacking team consists of twelve people, each team is equipped with a defensive-level warrior and a Valkyrie mecha. The remaining soldiers are at least elite-level, and have complete types of arms and well-equipped equipment.
"Hold it, hold it for me!" "I'm going to die soon, their firepower is too fierce!" "Asshole!" "Hold it for me, if anyone dares to take a step back, I will chop him down!"
Although the defenders had a tenacious will to fight and wanted to use their lives to delay the troops in the city, under the overwhelming firepower, there was no room for resistance.
The city gate fell quickly, and the attackers drove straight in, then fanned out to seize favorable terrain.
When the news reached the Water Weasel Palace, the entire Takeda royal family was shocked. Takeda Masamune, the Marquis of Juqing, who was taking a lunch break, didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He ran barefoot to the main hall and summoned all the powerful families to assemble an army to defend against foreign enemies.
Immediately afterwards, soldiers from both sides launched a fierce street battle in the city.
Although the water weasel side was caught off guard, the water weasel people have a fierce personality and are born bandits. When the war actually started, all the people were soldiers, and soon a large number of civilians also joined the street fighting.
The attacker was suddenly like a mud cow entering the sea, and the speed of advancement gradually slowed down.
"Don't kill civilians!" "No, they are more vicious than soldiers!"
Huozui yelled at the walkie-talkie, but it was of no use. The soldiers were already red-blooded and killed everyone they saw, regardless of age or sex.
"All the people of the Water Weasel are soldiers. If you act like a woman at this time, you will only make your own people bleed!" Ye Yang Bailiu reminded on the walkie-talkie.
"This..." Huozui stopped talking.
"Do you still want to build a country with mercenaries?" Ye Yang Bailiu said sternly.
Huo Zui was not a pedantic person. He quickly understood the situation and stopped restraining the soldiers.
As more and more residents from the mink side joined the fight, the war became stalemate. A few hours later, the two sides entered a stalemate.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Huozui decisively gave up the attack and retreated to the northeast corner of the occupied city to conduct a comprehensive defense.
The water weasel raid was successful in the first battle!
