Although the passage through the death barrier has been completed, the monks from Holy Dragon City did not enter the territory of Count MacDamon, but chose to rest where they were.
The earldom soldiers guarding the Great Wall of Miracles were whispering to each other and constantly looking at these monks with terrifying auras, their eyes full of curiosity.
They received an order to station here to guard against the invasion of Holy Dragon City, but they didn't expect to see each other so soon, and they were probably in a cooperative relationship!
The envoy left in a hurry, and Earl MacDamon contacted Earl Macdamon using communication equipment in the military camp and reported everything here without missing a beat.
After hearing the report from his confidants, even though it was already late at night, Count MacDamon still jumped out of bed with excitement on his face. At the same time, he ordered his people to prepare his private airship and hurried straight to the Great Wall of Miracles.
The speed of this kind of private airship was very fast. Just a few hours later, Count MacDamon had arrived at the border, and then met the monks of Holy Dragon City under the leadership of the envoy.
When the two sides met for the first time, Count Mark Damon was shocked by the mighty strength of Holy Dragon City. Even among the three empires, such a spectacular lineup of monks was rarely seen.
What impressed him particularly deeply was the weapons and equipment of the monks of Holy Dragon City, each of which was beautiful and practical.
Although he didn't know what the armors worn by these Loucheng monks were about, they must have been expensive to make and had special functions that ordinary armors did not have.
After the two parties briefly exchanged a few words, Count Mark Damon led the monks from Holy Dragon City into the Great Wall of Miracles.
He has great trust in his confidants, and at the same time he is even more eager to realize his dream as soon as possible, which is why he seems so impatient.
What's more, in this matter, he himself took advantage, so how could he not be proactive?
In the military camp after arriving at the Great Wall of Miracles, the two sides gathered around to discuss based on the map presented by Count MacDamon, studying how to establish a defensive circle in the shortest possible time.
The contact between various forces in Holy Dragon City will not be hidden for long, and Count Mark Damon's involvement will also be exposed, so he must have enough capital to fight before the Eternal Empire reacts.
As for the debts owed to Shenglong City, he can pay them back slowly. If it succeeds, these debts will not be a problem at all. If it fails, then there is no need to worry about it anymore.
Count Mark Damon, who has already made a desperate decision, is like a gambler at this moment, preparing to use his wealth and life to realize his family's long-cherished wish!
After a night of deliberations, the monks of Holy Dragon City, led by Count Mark Damon, rushed to the location marked on the map and started working overtime on the construction.
Although it is located on the border, Earl Macdamon's territory is not small. Unfortunately, it is mostly in barren and remote areas, which can only provide him with a small amount of income.
However, at the beginning of the war, the terrain here provided Count MacDamon with the best defensive barrier. As long as he defended a few key traffic arteries, the troops of the Eternal Empire could not easily enter his territory.
As for the armed airships of the Eternal Empire, they will be intercepted by the air defense weapons of Holy Dragon City to ensure that they destroy as many as they come!
…
On the open ground, thousands of soldiers were gathered and were preparing to receive training from the monks of Holy Dragon City.
The inventory of weapons from the original world had a market again, and Tang Zhen carried tons of them over and sold them all to Count Mark Damon.
Although the three empires also have weapons similar to firearms, they are closer to old-fashioned single-shot rifles and are far from comparable to the original world in terms of quality and accuracy.
So even though the weapons sold by Tang Zhen have been retired in the original world, they are still top-notch weapons on this continent.
When Count MacDamon saw these weapons and equipment and operated them himself, he smiled so much that he couldn't even close his mouth. This shows how satisfied he was.
It was precisely because of the arrival of these weapons and equipment that he no longer had any worries, and he recruited soldiers throughout the territory with great fanfare and actively stocked up strategic supplies.
These thousands of soldiers who have received training will become officers who lead ordinary civilians, and everything they learn will be transferred to ordinary people who can only farm and pick.
After glancing at the serious-faced soldiers, the Holy Dragon City monks began to demonstrate the operation methods of various weapons with a very rigorous and serious attitude.
These soldiers also listened very carefully, because they knew in their hearts that since they could not avoid this war, they had better understand how to operate these new weapons to avoid losing their lives on the battlefield.
After several days of training, these soldiers who received new equipment began to rush to various defense lines in the territory to prepare for the upcoming war.
In the days that followed, all the locations that needed to be deployed for defense were fully staffed, and various supplies were delivered one after another. As long as the troops of the Eternal Empire entered the territory, they would be immediately attacked!
The Ankar Pass is the only passage from the Earl of Macdamon to the Eternal Empire. Beyond that, there are rolling mountains that cannot easily be climbed.
During this period of time, caravans and travelers coming in and out suddenly discovered that there were many hidden buildings near the mountain pass. From time to time, silhouettes of people could be seen flashing around. Judging from their clothes, they were obviously soldiers from the Earl of Macdamon.
In addition, the security intensity here has also been greatly increased, and the inspection of passing caravans has become more stringent.
In particular, the tops of several peaks around the mountain pass have become military restricted areas, and no one is allowed to approach them easily.
The anomalies here not only attracted the attention of passing business travelers, but also aroused the suspicion of the Eternal Empire, and they soon received intelligence sent back by spies.
According to intelligence, Count Mark Damon colluded with the mysterious forces in the Exiled Land, equipped with a large number of new weapons, and recruited troops crazily throughout the territory, seemingly intending to rebel!
At this time, the Eternal Empire was mobilizing its troops and preparing to enter the Exiled Land to deal with the Holy Dragon City. Count Mark Damon's actions obviously made the royal family of the Eternal Empire very angry.
The Eternal Empire royal family, which originally planned to use this war to enter the Earl of MacDamon and uproot him, immediately ordered to mobilize four legions to attack the Earl of MacDamon. After quelling the rebellion, they would use the Earl of MacDamon as their base to attack.
Holy Dragon City launches an attack!
After the order was issued, the four regiments that were dispatched immediately set off. They advanced hand in hand from the ground and the air, and reached the Ankar Pass in just a few days.
At this time, the Earl's army was already well prepared and not only closed the entire mountain pass, but also blocked the road with huge rocks, making it impossible for the Eternal Empire's cavalry convoy to pass.
After the two sides faced off at the mountain pass for half a day, a fierce battle began.
The ground forces of the Eternal Empire, with the cooperation of ten armed airships, launched a fierce attack on the defenders of Yamaguchi. The mountains and plains were filled with charging soldiers, and the flames set off by magic missiles continued to rise into the sky.
At first, the soldiers of the county stationed at the mountain pass did not fight back. It was not until the enemy was less than a hundred meters away that the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time opened fire at the same time.
The deafening sound of gunfire resounded through the mountains, and the terrifying torrent of metal immediately tore apart the Imperial soldiers at the front one by one.
The earldom soldiers were not only equipped with weapons such as automatic rifles and heavy machine guns, but also weapons such as mortars and rocket launchers to participate in the battle, which made the Eternal Empire soldiers unable to hold their heads up at all.
When the battle on the ground started, the armed airships of the Eternal Empire were also attacked. The anti-aircraft weapons installed on the top of the mountain opened fire one after another. A series of rockets were seen rising into the sky with white tail flames, hitting several targets in an instant.
.
Two armed airships even exploded directly, turning into huge fireballs burning in the sky. Several other armed airships also suffered heavy damage and had to withdraw from the battle quickly.
The remaining armed airships naturally became targets of fire. Even if they had put up protective shields, they were quickly torn apart, and the metal shells of the airships were penetrated one after another!
The armed airships that dominate this continent are nothing more than paper tigers and completely vulnerable to the weapons of the original world!
