The modification of the equipment was carried out immediately under Filia's order.
Every soldier received a task that day, which was to cut the distributed wood into wooden sticks with fixed proportions. The tool was the weapon in his hand.
For veterans who are accustomed to wielding swords, this task is not difficult, but for conscripts and new recruits who have just joined the army, it is simply more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy.
However, the punishment for failing the mission is very heavy. The troops with the worst-quality wooden sticks will miss tomorrow's battle and become the logistics troops that provide logistics support for the army.
Although the army under Filia did not discriminate against logistics personnel, no one wanted to be removed from the front line of the battle, so the soldiers all worked hard and focused on whittling the sticks.
Thanks to this, the quality of the wooden sticks was surprisingly high. The people in the equipment camp processed it again and soon obtained a large amount of wooden rail materials, enough to lay in front of the Orc Alliance's fortress group.
As for the wooden rails needed for subsequent laying to the city wall of Cartagena, they were left to the logistics force to make. From a time point of view, it was in time, because Philiya's battle plan was to strive for one day tomorrow to advance to the city wall, and at the worst, destroy the outer two layers of the fortress.
The siege lasted for four days in total. During this period, the transformation of the equipment battalion was effective, not just today's afternoon and evening.
Ofina's drawings are very detailed. They are more like instructions than construction drawings. Anyone with a little knowledge of equipment can know how to assemble and modify them.
The soldiers of the equipment battalion worked overtime all afternoon. They got a good start in modifying various equipment and became proficient in their hands. After staying up another night, most of it can be completed and ready for siege.
Tomorrow is the time to launch the general offensive, and everyone is not in the mood to have a dinner, so everything is kept simple.
Ofina, who is usually very energetic, stopped what she was doing early and invited everyone on Rogge’s team to look up at the stars together. Xiu Shuzhu
The night sky in the stony desert looked lower than that in the empire. Ofina explained the principle to everyone in a soft voice. Regardless of whether they understood it or not, everyone was listening attentively.
Lunt was holding Madeline in his arms very honestly at this time. After experiencing the madness last night, the two of them felt very calm at this time.
Sonya and Rick were back to back and bumping heads. The two of them had been alone for a while, and they didn't know what Rick and Sonia said. After they came back, the smile on the Elf Prince's face never faded, and he looked silly, but very happy.
Rick's biological sister Thea, who had just finished communicating with the organization's messenger, shook her head at Rogge.
——Is there still no definite outcome to the decisive battle in the sea? Nearly two days have passed, and things are unusual. Maybe...
"Brother!" Ofina shouted, interrupting Rogge's thoughts, "Brother, the war is tomorrow, why don't you say a few words to everyone?"
Rogge looked around at everyone, and there was no trace of fear on their faces.
Rick, Thea, and Sonia escaped from Cartagena and are about to attack back. How can they be afraid?
Lunt and Madeleine rely on each other and love each other. What are they afraid of?
Ofina didn't know what it meant to be afraid. She had already made a plan to kill Lonely Soul and Xi Kong. If she was given some time, she might directly kill Gruul. It was others who should be afraid.
When Rogge and Ofina were still fighting in the orphanage, Filia dared to single-handedly invade the territory of the Orc Alliance. Now she is the supreme commander of an army of millions and cannot be feared.
If that's the case, what else is there to say?
Rogge thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "Wish us peace."
"Wish us peace!" Everyone responded enthusiastically.
The word "safety" is a luxury after tomorrow. It is destined to be an extremely tragic battle, and no matter who it is, it is possible to die.
Rogge didn't want any of them to die, and Ofina didn't want it either, so she worked so hard these days to prepare more life-saving things for everyone.
Three disposable shield spirit stones that can withstand a strike from a saint-level strongman have been distributed to everyone. With them, it is believed that
It was like providing everyone with an insurance policy and giving them room to mediate when encountering a Saint level that they couldn't deal with.
Rogge's blessing was sincere, but a little heavy. The atmosphere adjustment master Ofina took decisive action: "Oh, if everyone is injured, you must come to me as soon as possible. I have the Shimmer Divine Stone. As long as you don't die, you will not You will die, remember?"
Ofina means that as long as she is not killed instantly, she can be saved.
With the shimmering divine stone that can go back to the state three minutes ago, Ofina does have the ability to save people who are dying.
"Okay, didn't you notice that one person is missing? Why is little Farah missing?" Ofina looked around, looking for Roya Farah.
After Rogge led the team to walk through the orc territory, Ofina already regarded Roya Farah as one of her own. After all, without her space gate, everyone would die in Siva's pursuit.
Thea pointed to Rosniya's camp and said, "I went to find Rosniya before, and Roya Fara was there, seeming to be concentrating on practicing some kind of space skill."
"What is she practicing?" Ofina asked curiously.
Thea shook her head: "I don't know, Rosniya didn't say anything. Hum, she just knows how to make things mysterious."
Maybe it’s because the Ethereal Spider family does not belong to the world of Hess, or maybe Rosnia and Thea’s mother Bilodis have the same power of prophecy, but Thea’s attitude towards Rosnia has never been very good. .
Rogge did not dislike Rosniya. On the contrary, he admired her very much.
After all, those who can see the future and try to guide others to change the future must be burdened with a burden they cannot understand.
"Queen Rosnia must also have her own difficulties." Filia's thoughts were the same as Rogge's. "She may have other plans for training Roya Farah like this."
"Then ask her?" Madeline said.
"She won't tell. People who have the power to predict sometimes are like this." Thea said calmly.
Filia straightened her hair that was messed up by the wind, "When the time comes, she will naturally say, we just need to move forward."
Everyone was silent for a while, looking up at the stars.
Yes, just move forward.
"Hey, where are you looking at the stars?" Yaoxing's voice came.
Rogge turned around and saw Yaoxing walking over with a medium-rare roast leg of lamb, followed by Canxing who had three big bulges on his head.
If Canxing dared to flirt with girls in front of his third uncle and grandma, even if he flirted with two girls at once, he would have to bear the risk of being beaten.
But looking at Canxing's face, there are only eight words on his face:
I was wrong this time, and I’ll do it again next time.
"Tsk, tsk, this starry sky is far worse than the one in the secret garden."
The shining star snapped his fingers, and suddenly the stars shone brightly, and the dim Milky Way emerged, which was beautiful.
"That's pretty much it." Yaoxing said with satisfaction.
Everyone was immersed in the brilliance of the night sky, as if they had seen what the future world would look like.
The countdown is on the fourth day until the gates of the Holy Advent in Cartagena are fully opened.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the southern army set off on time and advanced towards the city wall of Cartagena.
The first thing that blocked the way was the abandoned orc camp.
Filia has sent a large group of scouts to scout this area, and as she expected, there are traps everywhere.
The traps were dense and numerous, but not to the point where it was difficult to move, because the method used by the Orc Alliance to lay traps was considered crude or even clumsy in Rogge's eyes.
The scouts of all the major knights can handle traps of this level skillfully. After a few days, most of the traps have been eliminated.
But Filia still asked the team to move forward slowly, because the orc traps were indeed not a big problem, but if there were hidden traps arranged by strange demons, it would be a big problem.
If there were serious casualties before approaching the fortress group, it would be a big blow to morale, and Filia would never allow this to happen.
The light magician, who has a strong ability to detect strange means, is escorted by experienced elite scouts and walks at the front of the team to clear the way for the army.
Followed by the Ministry of Engineering and Soldiers
The team, armed with axes, shovels and other tools, swept away the remaining traps and the ruins of the camp, clearing this area into an open area for the army to move quickly.
There was nothing unusual along the way, and the strange demons did not lay any traps.
At noon, the army advanced to the outside of the fort's defense line.
The equipment battalion delivered a number of modified siege equipment to the front line, and the siege war officially began.
Unlike the Orc Alliance, the Empire likes to use cannon fodder consumption tactics. For Filia and any normal Empire general, there is no such thing as cannon fodder for the Empire's soldiers, whether they are regular troops or conscripts.
When the Imperial Army fights, they may not necessarily be the most elite warriors at the forefront, but they must be the bravest warriors!
In a siege battle, the first unit to attack the city wall and fortress is called the sinking camp. .Ь.
Major knight orders such as the Red Flame Knights and the Viper Knights have this brave and fearless team. The warriors may have many bad habits, but when they fight, they are a group of warriors who are not afraid of death!
The modified heavy-duty trebuchet was quickly assembled, and the first salvo was fired. The boulders covered in flames drew a perfect parabola in the sky and crashed onto the outermost fortress.
"Boom!"
The sound of the boulders falling was like thunder on the ground, and a burst of stone debris flew away. Smoke and dust were scattered, and half of the fortress selected as the target was destroyed!
Even the solid fortresses built by the empire could not withstand such heavy trebuchets, and the fortresses built by the Orc Alliance in one night were even worse. After five rounds of trebuchets, more than a dozen fortresses were reduced to rubble!
The soldiers of the equipment battalion quickly dismantled the heavy trebuchet. With the frame structure designed by Ofina, it didn't take long to load the truck, and soon the wheels were rolling to the next deployment point.
Such efficiency can even be described as terrifying at ordinary times. If time is not pressed, the battle to dismantle the fortress is quite enjoyable.
But time is running out, and a dozen fortresses are just a drop in the bucket compared to the fortress complex outside the huge city of Cartagena.
In order to capture Cartagena within four days, preferably within three days, the empire must deploy its troops to expand the front. Only in this way can it speed up the killing of the enemy and thus speed up the siege process.
However, the fortress is an obstacle that exists in all directions. Simply relying on trebuchet bombardment to remove it is very stable, but it is still too slow.
Troops must be sent.
"Inform the trapped camp and charge!" Filia ordered decisively.
There cannot be a war without sacrifices. If you fall into a camp, you will definitely sacrifice the earliest and most troops.
Their sacrifice will pave the way for the army to advance!
