Chapter 222: In place, reconnaissance, start to attack
Duoyun Town is located about 80 kilometers southeast of Kentucky Bay. It is a medium-sized airship maintenance workshop newly established by the Confederacy in order to defend the Yongville Valley. According to the information obtained by Moriarty, there are 30% seduced goblin airships.
After returning from the front line, they will come here to receive maintenance, so it is a strategic target with considerable attack value.
However, Moriarty only had a rough guide route map in hand. Not only was it far from the regular military version, it was even inferior to the ordinary civilian map. Fortunately, the Nagas were considered indigenous people in the south, and
The three brothers also claimed that they had "fought guerrillas for a period of time" in the nearby area and were very familiar with the local topography, so the direction of Olympus's march was not likely to be wrong.
At this moment, time can be said to be Moriarty's biggest enemy. Not only does he have to arrive at the scheduled attack before the enemy discovers his whereabouts, but he also has to act before the commandos from other city-states take action. Otherwise, once the goblin confirms the airship elsewhere,
If a factory is attacked, it will inevitably react quickly and send elite troops to reinforce and protect other factories. By then, it will be very difficult for Moriarty to successfully attack the target.
"Sir, a goblin airship appears ahead."
About two hours after entering the interior, several vague red lights slowly appeared in the distant sky. There was no doubt that they were the signal lights hung on the front and rear sides of the nocturnal goblin airship.
"That should be a regular round-trip airship, not a combat force." After several months of "dealing" with each other, White had a very deep understanding of the flight rules of the goblin airship, and he immediately judged.
"Everyone remain silent. Wait for a moment."
In order to ensure concealment during long-distance attacks, Moriarty not only equipped all warriors with white hoods and cloaks, but also added "magic camouflage" to the marching sequence at regular intervals. In addition, it was night time again.
Therefore, even if an airship passes over their heads, as long as the flying height is not less than one hundred meters or they specifically use magic detection methods to conduct targeted scanning, the goblins will never be able to find traces of Olympus.
After advancing for another two hours, traces of goblin airships appeared in the sky several times, which showed that there was no problem with the route Moriarty and others were traveling.
Finally, one hour before dawn, Olympus arrived at the outskirts of Duoyun Town.
Hidden in a coniferous forest three kilometers outside the town. Moriarty looked at the small town and factory in the distance, and saw that they were still brightly lit.
"Take people to investigate the situation in Duoyun Town from the outside. Don't go too deep. Others are repairing in place and checking their weapons and equipment." Moriarty said to Margaret in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The female werewolf immediately took the order and left.
More than ten minutes later, Margaret and the two wolf cavalry quietly returned.
"You mean, the airship factory in Duoyun Town is still under construction? And the only garrison that can be seen nearby is three teams of goblin hammermen?" Moriarty confirmed after listening to the female werewolf's brief reply.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Although Beamon's night vision ability is not as good as that of dwarves or elves, it is still extremely sharp, so Margaret is quite confident in her investigation results.
"Very good." Moriarty nodded and turned to the three Naga brothers: "You three have worked hard all the way here. How do you feel? Do you have the strength to start fighting immediately?"
"no problem!"
The boss, Tchaikov, tightened the long knife in his hand and smiled fiercely. It seemed that he was looking forward to a good fight to eliminate the idleness in his heart of being called a "sled dog".
"Haha, very good." Seeing that Zhukov and Chekov also took the initiative to challenge, Moriarty smiled slightly and looked at the old werewolf: "My staff officer, what do you think? Do you want to take action immediately and launch an attack?
"
"Your Excellency, unlike ordinary market towns, Duoyun Town, as a newly established factory stronghold, completely serves the Goblin Alliance's 'La Coruña Defense Line'. Therefore, it can be said that the entire town is our attack target.
There is no need to worry too much about incidents that may accidentally injure civilians." Clausewitz gently stroked a thin layer of frost off the small round helmet on his head and said coldly: "As for the security situation here, it seems to be quite shallow.
It can be seen that the goblins are quite confident in the security of their own rear."
"Those 'green guys' are so arrogant! Hehe, we pinched their crotches this time, but some of them suffered." At this time, Guderian, who had been holding back all night, couldn't help but interjected and chuckled.
"I suggest that we use the Wolf Cavalry and Naga as the main force to quickly penetrate the dockyard in the center of the town, destroy the enemy's core system, and strictly control not to allow any airship to take off and escape in chaos. The Warhammer Team will cooperate with the gun
The fire and crossbow team stayed on the outside to eliminate other enemies." Ignoring the shouts of the silver-bearded dwarf, the old werewolf continued: "If everything goes well, we should try our best to resolve the battle before sunrise, and then return immediately to Kentucky.
Bay.”
"Yeah." Moriarty nodded, then looked at White: "What do you think?"
"I agree!" White had no objection.
"Then, I order!" Moriarty said with a solemn expression: "Start immediately and launch an attack on Duoyun Town. I will command the wolf cavalry and the Balalaika brothers to attack the dock; White, you lead the 'Warhammer',"
Gunfire' and crossbow squads cleared the perimeter."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Upon hearing Moriarty's formal attack order, all members of the Olympus Rangers immediately launched into action. Like a beast that had taken off its disguise, it suddenly revealed its extremely sharp fangs.
Accompanied by the roar of the cold wind, the shadows of numerous wolf riders mixed with the three burly and majestic Nagas, a silent tide rushed out of the sparse forest and rolled toward the lights ahead. Along the way, countless tiny snowflakes fell
As the tide surges, it keeps flying up and down, but always silently. Whether it is the wide wolf claw pads or the snake-shaped body of Naga, they are excellent weapons for galloping on the snow.
"Push in!"
Within half a minute, the wolf cavalry and Naga had already approached the entrance of the town. Moriarty, who was riding with Margaret, gave a deep shout behind the female werewolf.
"Wolf Cavalry, charge!"
No longer needing to consider concealment, Margaret raised the golden sword in her hand and roared loudly.
"charge!"
In the silent night, the charge horn of the Wolf Cavalry Company was roaring like thousands of troops. Even the three-headed Nagas were excited by this battle horn full of enthusiasm and fearlessness, and they rushed forward with random shouts.
In the middle of town.
"Ah! Enemy attack!"
Hearing the shouts of wolf riders and howls of wargs that resounded throughout the sky, a team of goblin hammermen not far from the entrance of the town immediately started shouting in panic.
However, before these goblin warriors had time to react further, one after another, swift black shadows and sharp arrows were already shooting out of the darkness outside the town, bringing with them a biting cold wind and overflowing murderous intent.
, and rushed towards the stunned goblin team.
In an instant, countless scimitars were unsheathed, setting off a dazzling light like thunder and lightning; in an instant, the falling heads were accompanied by fountains of blood soaring into the sky, transforming the peaceful and peaceful town just now into a playground for the god of death.
.
In just one encounter, the entire team of Goblin Hammermen were completely wiped out, leaving only headless corpses on the ground, dyeing the snow like a "red carpet."
In contrast to the superb swordsmanship of the wolf riders, the swordsmanship of the three Balalaika brothers was a bit "rough". They didn't even get a decent chance to make a move, so they could only glance at them in frustration.
The goblin corpses on the ground, and then continued to run forward dejectedly behind the wolf cavalry company.
"Enemy attack!"
"Get up quickly!"
"Meet the enemy!"
At the same time, sharp warning shouts rang out from other places in Duoyun Town. Then, torches lit up one after another, illuminating the entire town as bright as day.
However, some goblin soldiers or ground staff who kept running out from both sides of the road were no match for Wolf Riders and Naga. Not to mention effectively blocking the attack of Moriarty and others, even if they wanted to delay it for a moment, they couldn't do it at all.
arrive.
Just two minutes later, Moriarty and his elite commandos arrived outside the airship factory in the center of the town.
At this time, the door of the factory was closed. However, through the hollow iron gate, Moriarty and others could easily see that a team of goblin hammermen were waiting behind the door. It seems that these goblin warriors should be defending Duo.
The main force of Yunzhen.
But what is surprising is that at the dock of a huge dock a hundred meters behind the goblin squadron, a goblin mage wearing a gorgeous mage robe and holding a ruby wand was looking at Orin with great anger.
People of Pisi.
And from this inexplicable appearance of the goblin mage, Moriarty was keenly aware of the aura of the fire elemental realm (pseudo).
High level mage!
Including Moriarty, no one thought that there was a high-level magic professional here.
According to common sense, even if the importance of Duoyun Town were doubled, it would not be worthy of a high-level mage staying here for a long time. You must know that on the front line in Yonville Valley, both humans and goblins are quite
You have to be tight. Since the Grand Arcanist cannot take action at will, the high-level mage has become a heavy weight in guiding the balance of victory. And leaving any high-level mage idle is an unbearable and huge loss for the goblins.
Could it be that, in addition to being an airship maintenance base, this seemingly simple town also hides other unknown secrets? Or, perhaps, this powerful high-level mage only occasionally returns from the front line to the rear to handle some personal matters
, happened to be met by Moriarty and others?
But no matter what the real answer is, it doesn't make much sense right now.
Since this high-level goblin mage is standing in front of Olympus at this moment, the only thing waiting for him is surrender or death, and there is no third option. (To be continued...)
