Silas has just completed his daily patrol mission. The battles in the past few days have not been fierce, and he can even take it easy.
The Maxim Empire did not attack as wildly as it did in the first two days, testing the defensive power of the Elendin Fortress at the cost of their lives.
The Elendin Fortress is like the Moratti Line of Defense in the Magic City. It is impossible to capture it using conventional means.
Since a frontal attack could not be won for the time being, Char changed the attack to a siege, and the Merox Empire entered the trade line of the central plains, which can be regarded as sharing part of the pressure on the Magic City.
Obviously, the Maxim Empire has not yet received news of the defeat in the Magic City.
"An artillery piece of this caliber!" Silas's body trembled slightly, and he winked at Wilson next to him, who shouted in tacit agreement that he had a stomachache.
"Company Commander! I need to go to the toilet."
"Go back quickly!" Silas waved his hand impatiently, and even he didn't notice that his palms and back were already wet.
After Wilson sent the news to Cardo, he hurried back to the military camp. Even though he had changed out of his eye-catching military uniform, his behavior was still noticed by the secret agents hiding in the dark.
Soon someone sent Wilson's information to Elitelina.
She just glanced at it and then left it to Asensio to deal with. It would be best for him to pick up Silas in one hand and leave it to him to handle. At the same time, she would see what Asensio's attitude was towards this.
After Asensio got the news, he took people to find Silas without saying a word.
When Silas and Wilson saw Asensio's arrival, their eyes showed vigilance and doubt.
Asensio entered the barracks directly, glanced around the barracks, and sighed silently.
"Wilson, where have you been this morning?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Wilson and Silas changed. Just when they were about to explain, the big sword in Asensio's hand was already slashed out, the sword light swept over, and the two heads flew up.
Asensio said to the guards around him: "Kill them all!"
"Sir Asensio!"
The soldiers of Silas's infantry company quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"You can't blame me. The fortress is in a moment of crisis now, and no accidents are allowed inside. You have been following Silas for so long, and no one can believe you."
After Asensio finished speaking, he strode out of the infantry company's barracks. Then, shouts of death came from the dormitory, making the other soldiers of his infantry regiment turn pale.
"There are people who betray the empire and are willing to be traitors of the Maxim Empire. This will not be the last person. I hope you will not go on the road of no return." Asensio said while standing on the steps outside the barracks.
The other soldiers in the barracks looked at each other, and they were also worried that their companions would be spies of the Maxim Empire. For a while, people in the barracks were panicked, but they also played a role in mutual supervision.
Asensio had seen the defense of the Elendin Fortress, and he knew very well that unless there was internal support for such a fortified city, the Maxim Empire would not be able to break through the fortress.
After Kado got the news, he had just organized his manpower to attack the fortress artillery in the back mountain, when ANBU led a force composed of elven sword dancers to attack.
The five elven swordsman instructors led the team, and the officers of the Investigation and Foreign Affairs Section led by Cardo were massacred without any resistance, and the last unstable factor in the Elendin Fortress was eliminated.
Cardo is indeed an old man engaged in intelligence. When organizing the operation, he issued a black smoke warning.
The black smoke represents the sacrifice of all the people in the city for their country.
Although the meaning is the same, the result is completely different. Originally, Cardo planned to stop all the people in the city from launching a death-defying assault on the fortress cannon, so he lit black smoke as a warning. Unexpectedly, ANBU came to the door first.
Even if Kado dies, he still doesn't know how they were exposed.
The coordinates of the bombardment were locked at the camp where the Eastern God's Church was located. The shells began to be loaded, and the artillerymen were quickly busy. Iletelina and others also climbed to the tallest building in the city, preparing to take a look at the fortress cannon.
The black smoke in the Elendin Fortress was extinguished within a short while, making Char's expression serious.
"The entire army is on alert, the United Army is about to make a big move."
As soon as Char's order was given, he saw five flashes of light and shadow in the sky at extremely fast speeds. Based on Char's experience, he immediately judged that they were cannonballs.
"All personnel are protected from artillery! Immediately test the enemy's artillery shooting targets and all positions." Xia Ya gave the order in an orderly manner.
Soon a messenger ran in.
"General! The enemy's bombardment target is the camp of the Eastern God Sect on Mount Kalut." When the messenger reported, there was a hint of trembling in his voice.
The Eastern God's Cult's camp is more than twenty kilometers away from the Alondine Fortress.
The camp of the Eastern God Sect can be hit, so their camp is naturally covered by artillery.
"What!" Xiaya stood up suddenly, rushed out of the camp quickly, jumped onto the magic communication tower in the camp, and looked around to see a raging fire burning in the Eastern God Sect camp.
While he was watching, another artillery shell fell into the Dongshen Sect camp, and the violent explosion directly flattened a camp with a diameter of 100 meters.
"This power!" Xia Ya's pupils shrank, not daring to estimate the power and caliber of the artillery.
"Report! The artillery tactician has calculated the location of the enemy's artillery."
Another messenger came running.
"Say? Let the heavy artillery regiment prepare."
"On the hill behind Ellendine Fortress."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Ya turned his head suddenly and looked at the messenger with a look that would kill someone.
"what did you just say?"
"Enter from behind the Fortress of Elendin!" the messenger said tremblingly.
Xia resisted the urge to draw his sword and quickly rushed back to the tent. He compared it with the comprehensive map of Elendin Fortress hanging in the room, and then calculated the location of the Eastern God's Sect camp.
"The Merox Empire's artillery firing range can reach thirty kilometers."
After getting this answer, Char decisively issued an order to retreat. He would not attack the Elendin Fortress again before receiving a report on the losses of the Eastern God's Religion.
"Damn it!" Xia Ya slammed the table.
The Dongshen Sect camp was unprepared and was fired by five fortress cannons with more than a dozen shells each. Most of the entire camp was blown up, and the flames caused by these shells were also very terrifying.
The flame is mainly colorless and very harmful. After it touches an object, it burns continuously until it goes out. When many soldiers are touched by this flame, their skin and flesh are directly burned through, and then penetrate deeply into the bones, even if they jump.
Even if you get into the water, you can't extinguish the flames on your body.
Joseph Kate, the supreme commander of the Eastern God's Cult camp, looked at the messy camp and couldn't help roaring.
"No chaos, commanders at all levels will lead the troops to evacuate in an orderly manner!"
