At the same time, on the other side, on the southern battlefield, the civilizations of all realms were firing from both ends.

The Yangtze River Fleet swept through the enemy's coastal cities all the way. Although Charlie Crombell had ordered the shipyard to temporarily recruit a large number of civilian ships, transform them into warships for combat, and deployed a large number of mines in an attempt to block the Yangtze River Fleet's offensive

.

But a group of civilian ships temporarily equipped with weapons and armor, even if combined with mines, are basically impossible to defeat the steel battleships of civilizations from all over the world!

At this moment, the maritime combat power of the Yangtze River Fleet can be said to occupy an overwhelming advantage.

In order to block this life-hungry steel fleet, Charlie Crombell could only keep spending money and resources. The situation seemed to have entered a vicious circle.

During this period, the only thing that could give him some relief was probably the battle situation in Manning City in the north.

Different from the maritime situation that was basically on the verge of collapse, as an important shipping trade route in his empire, the Grand Canal was like a natural chasm, completely blocking the expeditionary army of civilizations from all over the world at the other end.

Under the cover of night, the patrol forces and even the air forces on both sides continued to be vigilant against each other without any relaxation. Both sides had even set up temporary trenches with their backs to the city.

This seemingly stalemate situation is actually more tense than anyone else's. Any slightest carelessness may be taken advantage of by the other party.

But in this state, on the other side of the canal, a troop was moving with extremely swift movements.

"Confirm surrounding enemies."

"There is a group of Flügel patrolling over the other shore."

"On the ground, a patrol just passed by."

"Notify the air force to draw the Flügel away."

"yes."

Not long after, a group of giant eagle knights who were also responsible for night patrol flew over quickly.

Because they occupy the aerial view, the warning range is often larger than that of ground troops.

The air forces of both sides discovered each other's existence almost at the same time.

Similar things actually happened frequently during this period.

So at this moment, both sides were on high alert, but they didn't feel too much surprise.

Across the canal, the giant eagle knights flew away slowly.

The Flügel team on the other side subconsciously followed up, obviously eyeing the Giant Eagle Knight team to prevent the opponent from taking advantage of them, flying across the canal and breaking into their position.

In the darkness, looking at the Flügel team being led away, the leader let out a long breath.

"They will be back soon, hurry up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers behind him took action.

Whether they are rowing across the river or building a bridge to cross the river, the efficiency is too low, and the movement is too loud, so they will definitely be discovered, so this time, they have to use a slightly special method.

Under the cover of night, several elven marksmen quickly bent their bows and set arrows.

At this moment, the wind-chasing arrow on their strings was specially processed.

The entire arrow shaft, including the feathers at the end and the arrow at the top, is all painted with a special coating, which is absolutely non-reflective black, almost making the arrow blend into the night.

The arrow part is specially customized to look like a barb...

Without hesitation, the specially made wind-chasing arrow quickly left the string. After flying a distance of several hundred meters, with a soft sound, it sank directly into the wall of a house in the city on the other side.

After an arrow hit, the elf marksman standing on the other side pulled hard on the rope connected to the wind-chasing arrow. The arrow's barb made it fasten to the wall, while the other

One end was firmly tied to the trunk of a big tree.

Needless to say, the bridge across the canal has been built, and the black figures that had been waiting aside quickly took action at this moment.

They were as light as swallows, but at the same time as fast as the wind. They jumped up and easily stood on the rope that was only one finger thick. Then they ran incredibly fast, in just a few blinks of an eye.

, and actually stepped on the rope and rushed to the other side silently.

It is no exaggeration to say that among the entire civilization of the world, there is currently only one troop with such skills, and that is the Windrunner troop from the prairie elves!

The height of the rope can be said to be just right, successfully avoiding the first line of sight of air and ground patrols.

Of course, the more important reason is that no one would have thought that someone could step on a rope and fly across the river silently.

Due to the height difference, it is impossible to slide over this side with the help of some equipment. At the same time, the movement is too loud, so even if ordinary people use this method, they can only slowly climb over by grabbing the rope, which is very difficult.

It takes time and will be discovered soon.

There are patrol teams patrolling this Grand Canal at regular intervals.

The Flügel team that was lured away by the Giant Eagle Knight team quickly turned back.

To be honest, the movements of the Windrunners can be said to be very fast, but even so, it is impossible for an entire army to invade the other side in one wave. This will undoubtedly take several more waves to complete.

After spotting a safe distance, the connected ropes were neatly cut off and quickly recovered.

The Windrunners who had invaded the other side were temporarily looking for a place to hide.

This matter is not difficult for them.

After Manning City turned into a battlefield, all the citizens had already evacuated en masse, so there were many empty buildings on the other side of the river. It was too easy to find a hiding place.

Avoid the enemy's patrol team. Considering that they may need to support their own troops in the next few days, the Windrunners who have secretly invaded did not plan to hide too far away, but planned to stay in this area.

Find a secluded place to stay.

The final location was determined to be a nearby factory.

To be honest, the environment is terrible. After all, it has been empty for several months, and the dust has already accumulated. The interior is also quite dirty. The air quality in Manning City is not very good. After entering this factory,

Afterwards, it suddenly got worse.

However, while they are elves, they are also regular soldiers and professional soldiers. They have not seen harsh environments before. This level is not unacceptable to them.

After all, regardless of the bad environment, considering the current situation and next actions, the space and location of the factory are quite good for them at this time.
