Eleven hours after the offensive was launched, the dark sky had long been lit by sunlight.

The forest area around the Papal Kingdom is full of traces of fighting, and the war is in full swing, like a fire on a blanket, spreading everywhere.

The strong wind swept along the ground, blowing down the gunpowder smoke over the forest, but it couldn't dispel the strong pungent **** smell.

Bulville, who had been soaked in blood, shook his wide bull nose, and sat down on the corpses of several enemies. He took a breath, and then asked Kellogg next to him: "How many? "

While wiping his dagger with the clothes of the dead, the lizardman spit out a letter and said, "His...So far, we have captured six small outposts, two medium-sized strongholds, and the enemy just now. The army’s large camp."

Bulville stretched out his hand to the lizardman.

The latter hesitated for a moment, and handed over his dagger.

Bourville lifted his heavy chain mail and slowly pierced the blade of the dagger into his wound.

Accompanied by a roar, Bourville buckled outwards, and a round lead bullet fell out of the wound.

"These shameless and despicable cowards!"

Hearing the tauren's scolding, the lizardman squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "His...there is never the word despicable in a war dictionary."

Bulville glared at Kellogg and threw the dagger back to him.

Kneeling on one knee in a pool of blood, Ackerman tightly held the right hand of a dying elf, and said softly: "My brother, your moment is coming soon."

The elves were clear-eyed, handsome, and looked very young.

His lower abdomen was hit by bomb fragments, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood bubbles. The huge pain made his face twisted, but his voice sounded extremely relaxed.

"What I didn't expect was... At the moment when I returned to glory, a dark elf would preside over my ceremony..."

Ackerman slowly leaned down and whispered in the ear of the elf, "I tell you a secret. Compared to the shamans of your species, I have a closer relationship with the Dragon God... I can help you. Intercede, let you save time in the line..."

The elf smiled happily.

He exhausted his last strength, looked at the people around him, nodded and said: "God's light has come, I must take a step first, I will wait for your arrival in the kingdom of heaven..."

Ackerman placed his hand on his chest and said softly: "All for the glory of the Dragon God."

Everyone: "All for the glory of the Dragon God."

The elf slowly closed his eyes.

Ackerman sighed inaudibly, stood up, and left the condolences to the others. He walked to Randall's side and asked, "Is there any discovery?"

Randall was holding a palm-sized black iron ball with a gunpowder lead directly above the ball.

Seeing Ackerman's arrival, Randall said: "It can't be wrong. I saw the Southern Empire used this weapon in the battle in Lone Rock City."

"They call these round bombs thunder bombs, which are filled with black powder and iron briers. When they explode, they can use fragments and flames to kill and cover a large area."

Putting the thunder bomb in his hands into Ackerman's hands, Randall picked up another thing similar to a small iron grinding disc from the ground.

"This thing is a new thing, I have never seen it before." Randall pointed to Ionera who was lying on the ground and was doing research, and said to Ackerman: "But I heard that the young scholar said that this is similar. There is a sulfuric acid detonation device for the bomb. As long as it is buried in the soil and anyone steps on it, it will explode."

"Iooneira called this bomb buried in the soil a landmine."

Looking at the thunder bomb in his hand, and then at the mine that Randall was holding, Ackerman frowned and said, "It looks like the enemy has some hidden cards, which have not been revealed."

Randall put down the heavy mines in his hands, and said: "In the process of attacking the outskirts of the forest, we did not encounter these weapons. As we attacked closer and closer to the enemy's main formation, these things appeared one by one. ."

"So, I guess. First of all, the number of weapons such as thunderbolts and landmines should not be too much; second, in the last orc attack, the appearance of the keel knight forced the enemy to re-examine both sides. The strength of these weapons, originally used as the enemy’s trump card, were only used so early."

Ackerman unplugged the fuse of the bomb, then put it on the ground, and said with a headache: "Leave aside thunder bombs, mines are a big problem."

"Don't worry too much about these mines." Ioonela walked towards Ackerman with two giant wolves: "These war beasts have a very sensitive sense of smell. They can smell the explosives buried in the ground."

Randall nodded and said: "Moreover, these mines are not many, most of them are buried around the enemy camp, as long as..."

Seeing that the hive on Randall's keel suddenly began to shake, Ackerman asked, "What's wrong?"

"The third column captured the valley camp, and the eleventh column captured the Pelzer camp. These two units are currently working together to attack the enemy camp on the Far Ember Hills..."

"Then what?"

"These two units have encountered a fierce counterattack from the enemy, and they are requesting assistance from all nearby friendly forces."

Ackerman pondered for a moment, and then shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Leave a group of people to deal with the aftermath, and the others pack up and get ready to go!"

After a short refurbishment, the troop re-embarked on the journey to the east ~lightnovelpub.net~ and marched towards the distant ember hills on the map.

Only after 15 minutes of marching, the soldiers could hear a faint explosion from a distance.

While listening to the movement in the distance, Ackerman said doubtfully: "It's a bit strange. Even the large camp of the enemy army cannot last that long under the attack of two columns."

Randall raised his head and said in surprise: "Look!"

Ackerman followed the sound and saw that the three Valkyries rode griffins towards the battlefield, each griffon holding a large bag of spore parasites on its paws.

"It is possible for the Valkyrie to be dispatched and two columns to ask for help. There is only one possibility for an enemy of this size."

Ackerman and Randall looked at each other and said in unison: "Enemy Command!"

Ackerman kicked his feet, jumped onto the tree beside him, and shouted to the troops: "Listen, everyone, throw away all unnecessary weight! Bring your weapons and armor to the front The battlefield advances at full speed!"
