Chapter 1081 smoke column
At the same moment, three teams of airborne troops had landed in three towns on the south bank of the Ram River.
The reason why these three towns were chosen is that they themselves were three important "lifelines" that provided supplies to Yudora's army in the desert. If large armies were cut off from supply when marching and fighting, they would have to "be defeated without fighting".
Any commander will pay attention to protecting his rear supply points. However, although Youdora has seen "bombing", she does not know the existence of "airborne troops". With such information asymmetry, she did not realize that the enemy would have the ability to "divine weapons descend from the sky".
Therefore, when the soldiers in the three towns of Carlin, Birch and Mos saw the airborne soldiers slowly falling from the sky, they did not understand what was going on. Even the civilians shouted and came out to watch, pointing at the soldiers holding crystal weapons.
Masola touched the ground with both feet, untied the parachute, picked out the "crystal gun" she was carrying, and rushed towards the granary in the town with a team of hundreds behind her.
Although most of the desert areas south of the Lam River are desert areas, the existence of this river makes nearby land very suitable for planting, which is similar to the "Hetao region" of China on Earth. This is also the advantage that the Yudora army can transport grain without long-distance - but the three recent towns have been mainly trade-oriented, not fortress model, so they are not protected by the city walls.
The town of Kalin, west and Mos, east respectively have two thousand logistics troops responsible for transportation and protection, while the town of Birch, south is the largest area and the largest population, and at the same time, the defenders have a total of three thousand people.
Massola's troops landed in the town of Birch, which had the largest number of defenders. However, although it was known as three thousand defenders, in fact, because of the large area of the town, these people themselves were scattered. At the same time, more than half of them were logistics soldiers responsible for transporting food, and their combat effectiveness was basically no different from ordinary people.
The news of Yudora's defeat in front has not been heard yet, and with the existence of the natural danger of the Ram River, no one would have thought that he would be attacked by enemy forces. Therefore, these "logistics forces" from various countries are extremely lazy on weekdays, and they are just chatting and fucking, and they are not alert.
When Masora's team of hundreds rushed to the granary with murderous intent, the defenders who had just realized that something was wrong didn't even have time to wear out their armor, ran out with a knife, shouting: "Roar the alarm bell! Stop them... Damn it, shoot arrows!"
Only three defenders who only pulled up a dozen personal defense lines had bows in their hands. Before they could aim to shoot, Massola and others raised the "crystal gun" in their hands. After a series of light and shooting sounds, the group of people, along with their companions behind, were penetrated on the spot and fell into a pool of blood...
"Closing the left and right streets and keep moving forward!"
"yes!"
The airborne soldiers did not have to worry about the "Demon Forbidden Field" here, so the crystal weapons were finally used. Two teams of airborne soldiers lined up with crystal guns to block the street intersection, while Massola, who continued to charge, locked in the granary area in front of them, and he threw out a "Crystal Grenade" from afar. Before dozens of defenders could react, they were directly blown away by the impact comparable to the "Fire Explosion Technique". Two houses within 20 meters of nearby collapsed...
In the past, it was difficult for a hundred-man troops to play a decisive role in cold weapons wars, but when they used powerful "hot weapons", they immediately became the dagger that penetrated the enemy's weakness in the war.
This is the veritable "special forces".
The alarmed defenders were gathering quickly, but the scattered teams were all repelled by the airborne soldiers blocked at the street corner - the weapon disparity made these soldiers who were not very combative and had no chance to shoot arrows, let alone fight in close combat.
According to the map discovered by the reconnaissance plane, Massola and others rushed into the granary area accurately along the street: it was filled with mountains of grain, and because it had to be continuously transported, more than half of it was moved out of the originally thick stone house and waited to be pulled to the front line at any time.
The food stored in front of him was enough for an army of ten thousand people to eat for two or three months. Massola looked around and waved his hand immediately: "Put the magic circle, hurry up!"
Four barbarian soldiers carrying huge backpacks rushed into the granary, waved over the confused porters, scattered the magic circles they brought, then inserted crystals and quickly withdrew.
One minute later, the activated magic circle continued to spray flames around. Piles of food were ignited soon, and thick black smoke rolled up. After Massola and others confirmed that the fire could not be extinguished, they calmly formed a team to leave the reservation retreat route. Along the way, there were not even a few soldiers who dared to stop them, because the "crystal grenade" that had been thrown out had killed three captains and soldiers. Faced with such an enemy, how could they go forward one after another, who had no fighting will to die?
Instead of leaving the town, Massola and others rushed to the areas outside the town where the caravans were stationed by camels and horses. Each of them pulled two or three heads, tried to collect food and quickly headed to the west.
Walking out of Birch Town, they saw black smoke rising from Kalin Town forty kilometers to the west. Not long after, black smoke pillars appeared on the horizon to the east.
Three towns that provided logistics support to Yudora's army were also lit by airborne troops from the Karen Kingdom.

The next day, Roddy in the study was writing a reply - he held the letter Kardashian had just sent, which talked about the research results of the "guided missile". However, what Roddy valued more was the "heavy factory" that had started construction next to the airport outside Hollier City.
The previous "transporter aircraft" had to be manufactured by a group of mages working together to work overtime. Although the manufacturing speed was amazing, everyone knew that mages were not used as workers. If you want to increase production, it would be best to have a complete set of production lines that could be processed and manufactured without the power of mages - or rather, without the power of "high-level mages", otherwise things like "transporter" would always be luxury goods.
But what war requires is not luxury goods.
On Earth, the assembly line operation invented by Ford in the United States was called "the world was put on wheels" at that time. Although the manufacturing of aircraft cannot be carried out from beginning to end like a car, if you want to improve efficiency, it is necessary to start building production lines from certain parts: because after each production line is established, what can be made is not only the parts of the aircraft, but also the large-scale parts for cannon trucks or even trains.
