"The new era has come. The great men of the United Army will lead us to live a good life. When the nobles of Valencia are driven out, we will be given the status of free citizens. I can work for the men of the United Army. Except
I can have enough to eat and get paid!”
In Old Cole's simple and limited vocabulary, Gus was confused.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand, but that Old Cole’s content was too horrifying.
Working for the United Army and the great men of the Melox Empire, in addition to having a house to live in, food to eat, and money to earn.
Is this the kind of treatment a slave can enjoy?
Gus didn't know what would happen in the future. He never thought that he had been running for his life all day and was already exhausted. He fell asleep unknowingly on the soft bunk bed.
………………
Border between the Republic of Chil and the Principality of Valencia,
The sky glowed with a light fish belly white, and the soldiers changing the guard on the border climbed up to the guard tower to perform their duty, subconsciously looking in the direction of the Principality of Valencia.
Then his eyes widened. On the border of Valencia, the huge barrier of night was slowly dissipating.
The night faded, revealing the steel army armed to the teeth on the border. The steel defense line on the border was covered with dust, as the enemy was digging and building fortifications.
When the telescope turned, he saw an artillery pushing out of the hillside. The artillery had begun to be calibrated. The gunner gave a thumbs up and pointed it at him.
The soldier suddenly remembered a time when he peeped at artillery training. His face turned pale, he turned around and jumped from the guard tower.
Boom!
The wooden sentry tower was blown into pieces, causing sawdust to fly. At a height of more than ten meters, the soldier's leg was broken. If he didn't have the cultivation of a second-level swordsman, this height would definitely kill him.
The soldiers who were resting in the guard tower ran outside one after another when they felt the vibration of the guard tower.
This shot was very accurate and directly shattered the entire sentry tower. Perhaps because of the wood, the shell was not detonated, but fell directly into a farmland one kilometer behind the sentry tower, directly destroying the entire farmland.
A big hole was blown up.
The sentry squad leader pulled up the soldier who jumped from the sentry tower.
"Squad leader, the army of the Merox Empire,"
"What?"
The guard tower squad leader did not have the slightest doubt because he had already heard the screaming cannonballs coming.
The explosion quickly completely submerged the guard tower, and the infantry squad on guard duty on the border was also wiped out.
The shock of the explosion could be felt even at the border defense force base more than ten kilometers away.
The sentry in charge of observing the sentry tower subconsciously rubbed his eyes. What is going on?
The artillery fire submerged the original sentry tower.
The next moment, he sounded the alarm,
The alarm soon sounded, and the soldiers who had been doing daily exercises and resting ran out of the armory and took away their rifles.
"what happened?""
Base commander Kahn asked eagerly: "Did it just shake?"
"Captain! The No. 3 sentry tower was attacked and completely destroyed."
The adjutant, who had received the news from the sentry, expressed disbelief.
Being attacked, is the Principality of Valencia insane and wants to start a war?
Kahn asked: "Do you know who the enemy is?"
Adjutant Gasol shook his head and said, "I have sent a reconnaissance team to check tower No. 3."
Kahn did not hesitate at all and asked the soldiers to start setting up defenses. Their infantry regiment was located on a high ground, stuck on the only road to the border. Unless the enemy was willing to make a large circle, but if they made a detour, they would be killed at any time.
There is a possibility of being attacked from behind by the garrison. In most cases, the enemy must capture this base if they want to enter the territory of the Republic of Chil.
In the base command room, the correspondents nervously sent out telegrams for help, while Kahn was pacing back and forth anxiously.
The delay in the attack made Kahn even more agitated. The border tower was destroyed and an attack was inevitable. The delay in the enemy's appearance was the reason for Kahn's nervousness. Unknown enemies were the most terrifying.
Adjutant Gasol trotted in and said doubtfully: "Something happened. The reconnaissance team brought back news that a large number of troops from the Melox Empire appeared on the border. They did not cross the border, but built positions on the spot."
"Position?" Kahn asked in confusion: "What did you just say? The army of the Merox Empire?"
Hearing that the enemy had not crossed the border initially made him feel slightly relaxed, but he reacted a second later.
The army of the Merox Empire has arrived at the city.
Kahn asked: "Did the investigator read it correctly?"
Gasol said: "After repeated confirmation, I decided to go to the border in person."
"I go with you.""
"Captain, if something unexpected happens, what will happen to the base?"
Gasol couldn't agree to it,
Kahn said angrily: "With Scatter here, what are you afraid of?"
Scutt is the deputy commander of the infantry regiment, while Gasol is only the immediate adjutant of the regiment commander and the commander of a battalion.
They found Skater who was inspecting the defense line. When they heard that the regiment leader was going to the front line to conduct reconnaissance, Skater naturally refused to agree.
"It is of great importance. You must see it with your own eyes before you can make a judgment. Two hours ago, we failed to come back. Please report the news of the entry of the Merox Empire here to Chester."
Skater opened his mouth slightly and finally nodded in agreement.
"Be careful!"
"rest assured!"
Kahn and Gasol led a reconnaissance team in an off-road jeep to a place one kilometer away from Post No. 3 before switching to walking. It was not because there was no road ahead, but because it was too conspicuous and they were worried about being discovered.
When they reached the vicinity of Watchtower No. 3, they happened to see an aviation magic team checking the watchtower. Kahn waved his hand and evacuated directly from the watchtower.
The aviation magic unit of the Republic of China Army has just been established. There are less than 500 aviation magic soldiers and more than a hundred sets of aviation magic equipment. The vehicles of the aviation magic equipment of the Republic of China Army are very similar to sled boards.
.
"What is certain is that they are the aviation magic troops of the Melox Empire."
Kahn walked around another mountain and swept covertly across the border of the Principality of Valencia in the dense forest. He was stunned.
"So many armored vehicles! Has the Principality of Valencia been completely occupied?"
The number of armored fighting vehicles of the Republic of China Army has been increasing, but compared to the United Army in front of them, it is simply insignificant.
Gasol was startled and said: "Five hundred meters to the left, is that heavy armor?"
Hundreds of JIM heavy armor patrolled the perimeter of the position, which frightened Kahn and Gasol.
Hundreds of heavy armors attacked their base at the same time, and the base couldn't hold on for even an hour.
"Captain, look at the 'large' heavy armor carrying tools on the left position."
Gasol thought for a while and could only describe it as large.
