Chapter 230 Night Attack Resurrected
Star Iron Fort is said to be a castle, but it is more suitable to say it is a fortress. When Geen and his team walked into the city gate, they saw a thick thousand-jin gate slowly rising from the ground. There was a dense shooting port behind the gate. There was a urn city inside. It was probably a design that only happened in the Middle Ages, right? But I have to say that this is very effective. If you replace machine guns and turbulent oil with urns, or letting the light Nianzi hide behind the urn city to attack, they can withstand the attack of a large number of urns. Even if you cannot wipe out the enemy completely, there will be no problem in defending for a year or two.
Originally, Gehn thought that the internal structure would be normal compared to the shocking scene outside, but he didn't expect that the castle was not much better. Behind the city was a training camp, and a group of children were practicing swordsmanship. The wooden swords in their hands were slashing and crackling. Like this medieval castle, the training concept of Xingyuedi was also very old, and swordsmanship and fighting were still compulsory courses. Although this kind of education was outdated, because martial arts practice could temper people's will, the Guangnianshi who came from Xingyuedi was generally good in strength.
On both sides of the schoolyard are huge armorys and granaries, with mountain-like cans, drinking water and guide ammunition. Although the high tower crystals are abundant, Lord William ordered that half of the crystal production should be used to produce, store and prepare ammunition, so the wealth obtained by Xingmodi is not much from export crystallization.
The huge Star Iron Fort has only one small corner that is a residential area. It is not as large as any community outside. This is the first time that Guern has seen such a poor nobleman, and he can't help but respect Lord William. In Crosno, the nobles on the other side of the river are all parasites that knock on bones and marrows. Crosno's gray trade and huge slums are their hands-on.
"Young Master, you are back." Several guards bowed to Arthur and nodded to Gunn and others behind him.
"Where is Lord William?" His father was upright and Arthur rarely called his father in front of the soldiers.
"The Lord is in the staff room and is meeting with the Grand Master of Dragon Academy. Master, please wait for a while." The guard said.
"No need, I will go to him directly and arrange a place for some of my friends to let Moroger prepare a table of good meals tonight."
"yes!"
Arthur went around the guards and entered the door. Several guards took Gun and the others to the guest room in the castle. This time Gun opened his eyes again.
This... is a room renovated from a shooting room on the city tower. You can also see evenly distributed holes below. That is the shooting port. Now it is sealed with steel plates. When you open it during war, you can attack it downwards.
There is still no furnishings in the room, and even the floor is made of red clay bricks. Not to mention the rooms in the Golden Hall, it is even more broken than Gunn's house in Crosno.
"I didn't expect that the nobles lived well, so I felt much more balanced." Gehn laughed, and lay on the bed with his head on both hands. At least there were real mattresses on it, not straw.
"Don't generalize by the side. My family is not like this. The Liuhe City of our Robert's house is a moving castle, constantly moving between two rivers. It is full of high-tech that you can't imagine, at least five hundred years ahead of it." Yoll sat by the bed with disgust. Without falling down, try to keep his butt in contact with the dirty mattress.
"When will I start eating, I'm hungry." Sanjido didn't pick on it, and took a shriveled local fruit from the table next to him and started eating it. "Haizetuan, I haven't eaten this thing for a long time. I thought that only we barbarians could eat this kind of unpalatable thing."
"What's this?" Joel avoided the smelly ball of fruit.
"A kind of seaweed bulb, crispy! Hahaha!"
Everyone had to rest and play for two or three hours before Arthur came back with a tired look on his face. He knew that his father was not having a good conversation.
"We will go back tomorrow morning. Dragon Academy will not share research data with us, but the data we collected ourselves can take away, so I can only fight for so much." Arthur's face was helpless. His father's personality was as old and hard as the steel plate outside the Star Iron Fort, and he would not move at all without any silence.
"Forget it, it's the doctor and those geniuses that should be crazy. What's the point of us?" Yoer said indifferently: "I just can't get the best crystals. It's a pity that I secretly brought my private goods back." Yoer took out a sealed bag from his arms, and it was a tall tower crystal half a fist.
"You boy! You're fast enough!" Gehn laughed and hugged his shoulders, "I promised half of each person, do you want to embezzle?"
"Didn't you give you a few small pieces before? This is a rare color-changing crystal! It's a pity to give it to you." Yoel kept the thing in his arms.
A few teenagers visited around Xingtie Fort. Although the atmosphere was solemn and the environment was monotonous, the scenery here was still very good. You can overlook the entire Xingmodi Land by climbing the tower. The ugly and barren saline-alkali land was a unique charm from this perspective. The white one seemed to be the first snow falling on the ground. The big coast in the distance connected to the beach. Now the entire Xingmodi Land was like a gourd. The island was the small head of the gourd, and the big coast was the big head of the gourd.
After a walk around, the dinner was ready. The food was relatively simple, but not bad. Basically, the bread was served with butter and onions. The main dish was a variety of barbecue, which made people question the imagination of the chef here. But think so, Lord William's personality would definitely not waste money to pursue fancy dishes. The only thing on the table was a huge grilled fish in the center of the long table. After all, it was a coastal area and the marine resources were still very rich. The grilled fish was stuffed with cheese and the stenched roulette I had seen before. The fishy fruit was surprisingly crispy after being roasted. It was not amazing but unique.
Lord William also showed up. The owner of Xingyuedi was a middle-aged man with a dark hair, with a thin face, and a pair of firm and sharp eyes. He was serious and almost wrote his seriousness on his face. Gehn and others stood up and gave him a tribute to him. The latter nodded in a slight way, and did not treat them much. They exchanged a few words and left, without even eating.
After a sumptuous dinner, Gun and his friends returned to their room. From the windows here, they could see the coast in the distance. The people from Dragon Academy were busy repairing the defense line. Looking at the crowds that were shuttled like ants, Gun was sleepy.
But before he could fall asleep, the roar from afar woke Gunn up.
The night attack came again! The tide of beasts came as expected. A large wave of black surges were born from the coast, breaking through the thick black fog and attacking the formation set up by the light Nians. The scale of the beast tide this time was much larger than what Gern and the others encountered yesterday. It can be seen from the peaks seen from a distance that the beasts that followed formed a huge peak, pressing together and moving forward continuously. A layer of thick black fog wrapped them, providing cover for the beast tide's charge.
Almost at the same time, the large-scale tuning guide arranged on the shore opened fire at the same time, hundreds of blue flames rushed towards the black tide, and the dark group of beasts was illuminated by the flames of the tuning guide. The cross-fire power of the tuning guide continued to shoot the approaching tuning beasts, shattering the first wave of attacks ahead. However, the tuning beasts that followed one after another quickly filled the gap, and the black wave peaks were rapidly advancing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon they advanced from the beach to the fortifications.
The people from Dragon Academy were also prepared and directly detonated mine bombs arranged in advance. Of course, ordinary bombs had no effect on the mind beasts, but these mines were specially made. After the explosion, they released a strong anti-thought beast Vans Field, which shattered the surrounding beasts together with the black fog, and completely disintegrated the first wave of offensives.
But this was just an appetizer. Soon a large group of beasts rushed to the shore of Shanghai again, and the coast of Star Fallen Land was quickly dyed black like paper soaked ink.
The Guangnian, who had long been arranged behind the defense line, immediately jumped out and formed a solid formation to rush towards the group of Nian Beasts. The first wave of bombs just eliminated the vanguards and saved some physical strength as much as possible for the Guangnians. The real battle will really begin.
The well-trained light scholars charged forward with their backs against the cannons. The battle was quite easy with the assistance of the guide. The second blocking battle lasted for half an hour. After a bloody battle, the troops of the Dragon Academy successfully stood up.
According to usual experience, the intensity of the beast tide will be stronger and stronger, and it is far from dawn. Tonight's fierce battle will not end... While the beast tide has not yet charged again, everyone began to repair the fortifications and replenish energy and ammunition for the guide.
Dragon Academy has signed an agreement with Lord William. He has provided full supply for this battle. After years of concentration in preparation, a huge amount of ammunition supplies were preserved in Star Iron Fort. It was transported out in boxes in the daytime. It had piled up hills behind the front line. Everyone in Dragon Academy pulled down the ammunition warehouse of the guide. Pieces of tower crystals that had exhausted their energy were pushed out to fall to the ground and turned into powder. New crystals shining with white light were filled in again.
"What are you looking at... Go to bed quickly, they are there anyway." Yoel covered his ears, and the sound of cannons that kept ringing in the middle of the night made him restless.
"It's not right." Guen suddenly saw something while touching his chin.
"What's wrong?"
"Light, those lights crystallized by the tower are very strange." By the gift of Yoll, Gehn is now considered a half-crystallization expert.
