Chapter 449: Outside Jiansong City

Crancia, Jiansongcheng.

Although it is late autumn now, the mountains and wilderness outside the city

are still green, and the mist between the mountains carries a hint of

coldness.

This is the southernmost part of Crancia and the border that was once westerly

wind. It is named after a kind of tall and tall pine trees surrounding it.

This kind of pine wood is hard and the shape of the pen is like a sword, so

the locals named it Jiansong.

In the past westerly wind, this is not an important place. The only thing that

can be remembered is the Heisong River next to the city. Following this river

to the south, you can go to Wilga.

People who have never been to the local area may think that this place should

be a major business town, but in fact, because this is the upper reaches of

the Heisong River, the river is relatively shallow and it is difficult for

large boats to go, and the surrounding area is mostly high mountains. The west

wind and Wilga have always traded More travelled to Hopelander via a spacious

land route.

But with the changes of the times, the division of Wilga and the establishment

of Crancia, the Black Pine River allocated to Frost Rose, and now it has

become a bridgehead for Crancia to face the alliance of Frost Roses.

After receiving the news of Frost Rose's deployment of troops, Crancia also

urgently recruited 80,000 troops from the surrounding area and came here to

guard.

However, because of the mountainous surroundings and sparsely populated

people, the city’s original long-lived population was only about 50,000. With

so many people at once, eating became a big problem, and the mountain roads

were difficult to walk, and the supply was relatively reluctant. , If you

continue to deploy troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to support.

On the iron-grey stone brick city wall, General Saige looked down at the quiet

river below and asked the adjutant next to him.

"When will the Frost Rose Legion arrive?"

The adjutant in a capable military uniform replied. "My lord, according to the

letter from the New Verga Alliance, they passed by Turbulence City three days

ago. There are about 100 miles from here. They should be coming soon."

"Although the golems are strong and strong, they are extremely heavy. If they

are transported by boat, they will have to disembark and walk up to 60 miles

away from here."

"Does Frost Rose have so many ships?" Saige continued to ask. He had just come

from the royal capital and didn't know much about the situation in southern

Crancia.

"Not before, but they have annexed half of Wilga and can conquer a large

number of merchant ships under it. In addition, they are said to have built

iron armored ships."

Two years later, with the assistance of the Dayas Chamber of Commerce, Frost

Rose also began to launch the first batch of ironclad ships, and the ‘Great

Eastern’ was the most famous experimental ship. Although some other ironclad

ships have unsatisfactory performance, they are not wasted. Now they are just

used to transport the golem.

"If the Golem Legion is really close to the city, with our current strength

and means, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist." The adjutant said

worriedly. He has received an intermediate military education in Crancia and

understands the strength and strengths of the current legions of various

countries.

"Yes, but as a soldier, it is our duty to guard this place and prevent the

enemy from passing through."

"Even if it will fall in the end, we will inflict heavy damage and loss on the

enemy, so that its strength will be weakened step by step." Saige's voice is

like a rock in the mountains, calm and firm.

For many soldiers in Crancia, the time of peace is so short. Their battle with

the nobles of the West Wind seems to be just yesterday, and the blood and

perseverance of the early uprising still has not dissipated. Now that after

receiving the order, even knowing that the battle will be very dangerous, no

one complains or escapes, but is accustomed to follow the military order to

mobilize.

Although the Westerly winds are declining, the number of extraordinary men in

its army is often several times that of Crancia. In order to defeat such an

enemy, Crancia's army construction can be described as extreme. Their

discipline and fighting will are unimaginable by outsiders. They can continue

to move forward with their guns even when they are downgraded by more than

70%, until they exhaust the enemy's magic and strength, and then besieged him

on the spot.

Sacrifice has become commonplace. As for death, maybe the first time you will

panic, but after seeing too much, you will become numb and get used to it.

Faced with such a situation, Crancia’s high-level soldiers are both proud and

helpless. They are proud to have such a fearless fighter, but they have no

other choice. In the absence of high-level transcendents, they can only use

this way to defeat. enemy.

Fortunately, now that the civil war is over, you can finally put down your

swordsmen, cultivate your health, and strengthen your national strength.

But in this world, the intermission is not taken for granted. Others just take

advantage of your illness to kill you. When Hanshuang Rose saw that Crancia

was not completely stable, she also took the opportunity to launch an attack

and went northward according to their long-awaited plan.

The reason why he didn't act a year or two ago was just because there was no

suitable means to transport the golem. Although the Golem Legion is strong, it

is difficult to be a powerful means of attack because of its heavy body and

slow advancement.

Now that the time is a little bit ripe, they will mobilize domestic ships and

their iron-clad ships to prepare for the Northern Expedition into the Central

Plains and enter the once westerly hinterland. It is a vast plain that

connects the Seven Kingdoms of Snow and is also the only way for the

development and growth of Frost Rose.

Just after SEG's inspection of the city defense, when walking down the city

wall, a intensive metal friction and collision sound gradually sounded beside

the distant mountains and rivers, and then slowly approached north along the

river bank.

The gray-silver steel has sporadic scratches and dust. In the early morning

mist, these steel war machines stepped on gravel and mud, leaving huge

footprints on the ground.

A little dew condensed on the steel shell, and then slipped off, taking away

some of the dust, falling on the grass, and then being stepped on the ground

by the later golem. Accompanied by the sound of sour metal rubbing and the

sound of trees collapsing, these golems pushed away the bushes and woods in

the mountains to open the way for the rear team.

On one side of the iron golem team, a 10-meter tall one stopped by the

roadside. The door on its back opened. A man in a mage robe poked his head

out. A young mage flew from behind. Then it fell on the shoulders of the

golem.

"How is the situation ahead?"

"I have already seen the city wall of Jiansong City. This city is built

halfway up the mountain. Below it is the Heisong River, an insurmountable

danger in the valley of the mountain range."

"Huh, it's finally here." The later mage breathed a sigh of relief.

"These few days can be said to be the most difficult time for me in the past

ten years. In the early years of our Ruhrna, golems were mostly used to defend

the city and form the defense line. After all, green is our number one threat

~ www.mtlnovel.com~ I didn't consider too much transportation. Now I am

trekking in the mountains, and I know how inconvenient this design is. This

way, about 20% of the golems had to be parked halfway because of malfunctions,

waiting for maintenance. Now it is finally here. "

"But we still reached our destination, didn't we? As long as we occupy this

city and use it as a bridgehead, the Golem Legion will get a stable repair and

supply point. After that, it will be much easier to attack the interior of

Crancia."

"Well, send the signal, the Steel Axe Legion is on standby. After half a day

of trimming, the attack will begin at noon. The subsequent Bronze Horn and

Fire Stinger Legion will continue to reinforce them and strive to take the

city before dark."

As the voice fell, a signal arrow with a rapid sound rose up and exploded in

the air. Then these gray-silver steel golems began to change their formation

and slowly unfolded.

On the distant tower, the sound of the big bell kept reverberating. Soldiers

were startled by the screams of the officers, picked up the weapons at hand,

and rushed towards the city wall.
