144 Combat Readiness

After Idric left with his knights, the infantry regiment and the remaining attendants moved directly to Red Mountain to defend the Red Mountain. The departure of the knights took away the high-end combat power, and the source of food was also cut off.

Dunihe is not a dangerous place. If something surprises you, although there will be no soldiers who can fight it, ordinary soldiers will be left here. They can't fight very hard, and the infantry regiment has no horses, so it can't even run.

Can't run away.

Therefore, although the captains of the infantry regiment, Ledley and Bolt, were full of reluctance, they finally came to ask Leonardo to send something to help them transport all the reserves to Red Mountain.

Leonardo readily agreed. After all, trained soldiers were rare. Since he was not planning to cause trouble, he still had to make a profit if he could.

After he came to discuss with Bolu, Bolu dispatched all the tractors that had no tasks at hand.

Although people had been notified, the tractor convoy still caused a violent commotion when it approached the camp at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

The soldiers stationed in the commercial city thought they had seen a lot. They had seen horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and even taller monster trailers. However, what they saw was a huge steel creation that they had never seen before.

It was spitting out thick white smoke and making a chugging sound. The connecting rods made metal collision and friction sounds, like a string of steel golems. When they slowly approached the military camp, the pressure brought by the tall front of the car made them almost

An attack on the convoy is about to begin.

The officers stopped the soldiers' instinctive self-defense behavior due to fear, but they also watched with fear as this steel convoy, connected to a long series of wheeled flat plates, looked like a centipede, drew a big circle and stopped.

In front of the military camp.

"What is that? Is it a golem?"

The soldiers tried to understand these creaking steel machines with their limited knowledge.

"Is it made of steel? A steel golem? I've only heard of it, but I've never seen it. Didn't it say that golems are used for fighting? Are they also used for work?"

"With so many golems, how much do they cost? Oh my god?"

"Is Hongshan so rich? Using a golem to help with transportation?"

"Didn't you say that they have alchemists? It shouldn't be surprising that they have golems?"

"We also have alchemists, why haven't we seen such a demon?"

In their frightened eyes, Leonardo climbed onto the roof of the tractor, took out a flag and waved it, signaling the machine gunner on the rear panel truck not to fire. He shouted loudly: "We are here to help you move the camp.

!”

The officers breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to give the soldiers a few uncertain explanations, thus saving the soldiers from the fear of being attacked by the golem.

Ledley and Bolt, who had heard the noise and were walking towards this side, talked quietly as they walked: "Fortunately, we didn't fight with Hongshan. They really have so many strange machines. What if there really is?"

Two golems would be miserable. I can’t defeat them anyway.”

"Who dares to say that he can definitely beat the steel golem? These are probably not real golems, they are probably things specially used to pull goods. But being able to drive here from Hongshan and then pull so many things back is really awesome.

It’s really powerful. Maybe there are one or two golems hidden there.”

"Do you think the conditions in Hongshan are quite good? I really can't bear to go to the Royal Capital. They used to live their lives based on our faces, and now I can't stand it if we want to live our lives based on their faces. It seems that we will not be able to live in Hongshan in the future.

good?"

"I don't want to go either, and the people in the capital don't want to see us either. If we can be sure that Bator can't go back, we might as well stay in Red Mountain."

"Well, let's wait and see."

Leonardo's loud voice came from the front: "Where is your group leader! The transportation tools are here, move things quickly!"

The tractors have already gone to help pull things, and Polu is also preparing something.

He was directing the workers to install a 100-gauge gun on the gun mount. Previously, the 100-gauge gun body was installed on the ship after being finished. Later, because the grenade principle was never successfully tested, there was no mass production, only a few in one batch.

The experimental gun barrel was not installed on the gun mount in the end. Normally speaking, there are not many targets worthy of firing 100 guns.

This time I heard that there were many big men who were not necessarily slow in their movements. Poru was afraid of insufficient firepower, so he installed the extra cannons on the gun mounts, equipped with hoes and steel wheels. This was a towed cannon.

It can fire a forged shelling steel core, and its structure is quite advanced, but it is still just a stick for throwing solid bullets.

Today's cannons are not long-barreled, and their power is obviously relatively weak. If the direct range exceeds 1 kilometer, it will become a trebuchet trajectory. The best attack distance will not exceed 600 meters.

However, according to the information received this time, once a giant nearly three stories tall appears in the wilderness, his size will be as eye-catching as a rat appearing in a ruined Berlin. Even this cannon with low accuracy can still try to blast it.

A bang.

But another uncomfortable problem appeared in front of a giant that was nearly three stories tall. Human blockades became meaningless. He just stretched out his hands and raised his feet and stepped over it.

You can't build field fortifications to a height of more than 10 meters, right? It feels like you have to build a wall as high as a hydropower station on the ground. Who can bear the amount of earthwork?

"Damn, the advantages of being big are quite big."

Boru couldn't think of a way for a long time and spit on the ground. After all, how can infantry deal with Gundam? Even if it can't fly, it will be difficult.

He had no choice but to consult the Humanoid Combat Information Library. The Elf Ranger must have fought with most of the creatures in the world. After all, giants like to cause destruction so much, so they must have fought.

Edith has been hiding in the back mountain for a long time. She used the excuse to get close to nature. In fact, it was just that after the sense of crisis was relieved, she returned to her elven fish-like personality. She planted flowers and gathered grass every day, even as Polu told her.

There is no news about the seeds.

"Let's just take this opportunity to visit her. She hasn't been there since she repaired the house."

So Polu took some time and went up the mountain along the path.

"This place is really well done."

As Bolu walked, he looked at the back mountain that had been transformed into a scenic spot. The refreshing wind brought the fragrance of plants to his face, which gradually relaxed his anxious heart. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and slowly looked at

Walk forward on the thick fallen leaves that feel like a carpet.

Suddenly, he felt that he had stepped on something, his ankle tightened, and he was pulled violently by a huge force. He felt a spinning sensation. When he came to his senses, he found that he was hanging head down.

on the tree.

"..." What the hell is this!

"Edith! What have you done! Why are you setting a trap here!"

Wait, trap? I have a trick!

When Edith heard the sound and put down Bolu who was hanging upside down, Bolu didn't blame her at all and squatted on the ground to write and draw.

This made her very worried: "You haven't been hanging for too long, and your brain has been congested, right?"

"I'm thinking about how to deal with the giant."

"What kind of giant? There are huge differences between giants."

"Then I don't know which one it is."

"Is it an army or a lone person?"

"army."

"That's okay. They are usually frost giants and fire giants. Just by listening to their names, you know how to deal with them, right?"

"have no idea."

"Are you stupid? A giant can be killed with an arrow. What's so scary about him?"

"So weak? How long will it take to cum?"

"A team of rangers, gathered around and using up all their skills, can defeat him in one day."

"...One day? It's another drag. After shooting for a day, it turns into a hedgehog, right? Is there a simpler way? It only takes one day and everything has been dismantled."

"For such a big man, the arrow feels like a toothpick when it hits him. It doesn't even pierce his face without any skills. What can you do? Are you going to rush up and chop off his knees? The frost giant's defense is not very good, and it's just a piece of skin. Fire.

The giants have plate armor and are a bit harder. The hills are just running naked, which is very stupid. You can hit them casually. Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"

"There are giants coming to attack us."

"What, where did this giant come from?" Edith's eyes changed, revealing a sharp look that Bolu had never seen before.

After Polu left, she lowered her head, wrote something on a leaf, waved, summoned a falcon from the sky, tied the wooden tube with leaves to its leg, and said something to it.

, and then watched the falcon fly away into the distance.
