Chapter 1047
Dudian and the others had only one hour to prepare. They had to arrive at the front line at noon.
“Little Dean, how is Your Artillery Training?”The vice platoon leader Hunter found Dudian. He looked like he was in his forties. There were two cross scars on his thick and hairy arms.
“I have completely mastered it.”Dudian quickly said.
Hunter saw that Dudian was so active. He shook his head and smiled, “I wanted to give you an excuse to rest. Since you have mastered it, you should go and prepare. This is your first battle. Moreover, you are going to the front line. You should follow the others and retreat. Be Smart. In addition, don’t care about the artillery when you retreat. If you lose it, you will lose it. Life is the most important thing!”
Dudian nodded: “Thank You Vice Platoon Leader!”
He suddenly found that the people he met this time were pretty good.
In less than half an hour, everyone had gathered in the small field inside the tent. Hunter and fitter took the lead and left the platoon. They walked in the direction of the outside of the god of war wall along the wide road in the middle of the tent area, when they reached the end of the line, they saw the scenery outside of the wall. However, it wasn’t the mountains and rivers that they had imagined. Instead, it was a devastated and potholed land.
Dudian looked at the wall but didn’t see the fortress wall outside the wall. It seemed that the enemies on each side of the wall were different, this was probably the reason why he didn’t see so many high-end technology and spacecraft on the wall.
“Report to the 9th row of the 3rd Company of the Artillery Regiment!”Fett shouted.
The young man who was wearing military uniform and had a gold star on his shoulder looked at him. He looked at the short-haired female assistant: “Register them on the ship.”
“Yes.”The short-haired woman nodded and went to Fett to register.
Under Fett’s lead, everyone boarded the next airship. Each airship carried five people. There were six pilots in total. While Dudian and the others were waiting in line to register, Fett and the other four had already boarded the airship and left. Soon the second airship followed them. In the blink of an eye it was Dudian. He stood with Guli, they boarded the same airship.
The airship was connected in a line as it sailed out of the god of war wall. Clouds and mist lingered around. Their line of sight passed through the devastated land. At the end of the world, they could faintly see the darkness.
Everyone felt depressed because of the darkness. No one spoke on the airship. Even Gully who was a bit talkative was silent. He told Dudian a few words but didn’t say anything.
Half an hour later, the airship slowly landed.
Dudian quietly estimated the distance and the speed of the airship. He found that the battlefield in front of him was at least two hundred miles away from the god of war’s wall. Although this distance was nothing to him but it wasn’t close on land, it could be seen that the war in the south wasn’t limited to the god of war’s wall but had been developed outside the wall. This also meant that the Empire’s defense in the south was in a state of suppression.
The airship slowly landed as Dudian thought about this. Guli sighed: “I hope everyone can survive this time.”They were thinking about whether they would die in this war.
“We will see the trolls soon.”Dudian was looking forward to it.
The place where the airship landed was a trench. The ground was full of trenches and there were anti-aircraft turrets. There was a 50-meter high stone wall in front of them. There were many monsters flashing outside the stone wall, however, it was difficult to get close to them under the heavy bombardment.
They got off the airship.
Fitter had been waiting in front of a trench. The people who got off the airship had lined up in formation. Dudian, Gully and others quickly rushed over and stood behind the team. Fitter spoke as the last group of people came from the airship, he loudly said: “We have received news that the trolls are likely to attack in an hour. The front line soldiers sent by the trolls are pretending to attack to test our defense. In the next hour, everyone must adjust their status and hold their positions. They are not allowed to leave without the order to retreat. Otherwise, they will be punished according to military rules!”
“Yes!”Everyone shouted in unison.
Fett nodded slightly and asked Hunter to lead his men to their respective positions. There were already cannons set up next to the trench. There were huge steel wheels under the base of the cannons which could be pushed. But at the moment the wheels had been lifted and braced, they were firmly fixed on the ground.
Two people each had a cannon and took turns to operate it.
Dudian and a familiar person were assigned to a cannon. The person seemed to know that Dudian didn’t know him. He stood on the base of the cannon and smiled: “Hello, Ryan Dui? My name is Delai.”
“Hello.”Dudian nodded: “Please take care of me.”
“Don’t say that. I’m also a rookie.”Delai smiled as he looked at the stone wall in front of him, “These monsters can break through the defense of the front line and attack our artillery battalion. It seems the invasion of the trolls is not small.”
Dudian was surprised: “Aren’t we at the front line?”
“Of course not. Our Artillery Battalion is in the middle and later part of the battlefield. There is an army fortress in front of us. These monsters must have gone around the army fortress and sneaked over to this side. Otherwise, the situation at the Army Fortress is dangerous.”Delai frowned.
Dudian was puzzled as he didn’t know how the battlefield was divided. But he guessed that there might be a special retreat channel for the army. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be so far away from the artillery battalion, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to resist the retreat of the monsters. The artillery battalion could only watch as the army and the monsters fought together. They couldn’t attack.
“Trolls…”Dudian looked at the front. He couldn’t see anything except for the occasional monsters that jumped up high. It seemed that his vision on the ground was gradually blurred.
An hour passed by. There was a roar in front of the stone wall. Everyone was shocked as the pores on their bodies shrank. They entered a tense fighting state, looking through the telescope on the cannon, they saw a few vigorous red dots appear behind the stone wall. As these red dots slowly approached, more and more red dots appeared. They were densely packed, and in just a few breaths.., they occupied the entire telescope!
This telescope had an infrared function. It could penetrate the fog outside the stone wall. All it needed to do was to aim and shoot according to the red dots.
