Chapter 1546 Hunter Marshall
“Deputy Chief, the defender of Fort Shelley still refused to surrender.” The people who went to negotiate with Fort Shelley came back and reported to Berwick that because they were disguised as Pirates are always referred to as leaders to the outside world. The man added: "Justitia, the general guarding the city, also said that those who have the courage will attack the city. Don't talk nonsense. When his reinforcements come, he will kill us until we lose our armor."
"Haha." The Holy Armor Beric laughed loudly with a blazing golden sword on his waist: "People who are addicted to their own world always cannot know the vastness outside. He is still living in the glory of his ancestors, thinking that The current Asia is still the former Asia. Tanya."
"But deputy leader, our siege weapons haven't caught up yet. If we attack forcefully, we will suffer heavy losses, and..." The speaker looked around and stepped forward and said: " Moreover, these gathered Royal Army soldiers can chase the poor bandits, but they don't have the courage to attack the city with all their strength."
Berik said: "I know."
These armies are so corrupted that military expenditures are being withheld at every level, and the soldiers are severely undertrained. Even their officers are greedy for life and afraid of death, so how can the soldiers underneath have any combat effectiveness. But we have to wait a few more days for the siege weapons to arrive. By then, reinforcements from Asantania will arrive, and it will turn into a fierce battle under Fort Shelley.
Berrick thought about it and said to himself: "Although taking Fort Shelley is not a problem, I don't like it to be delayed for too long. It would be much easier if Marshall was here."< br>
“Are you talking about me, Berwick, I hear "You called my name."
A female voice came, and Berick turned his head and saw the person with brown hair above his shoulders, a metal mask covering half of the eyes on the left side of his face, and a green cloth with a low cut. With his navel exposed and a black leather jacket, he was the hunter Marshall he was talking about.
“Why are you here?”
"Aren't you thinking of me? I came here when I heard your call." Marshall was Berwick's old subordinate. He did not speak with the politeness of a superior and subordinate. He said: "The situation in the rear has basically stabilized. It's okay for the leader to be in charge. Fried is worried that you will lead these miscellaneous troops to fight. problem, so you asked me to support you."
Berrick raised his eyebrows and asked: "You brought the troops here?"
"No, the manpower is so tight now, how can you do it? Have to come out?”
Berrick expected this and was not disappointed. During this period, they controlled many places and countries. They needed to send their people to important positions in the army in order to truly control the army and train them, so they could not send out troops at all. He said: "Marshall, you arrived just in time. I just have a task that I want to entrust you with."
"You need me to sneak into Fort Shelly and destroy the mechanisms defending the city?"
Berwick smiled happily: "You are the only one who can complete this mission."
"I knew it." Marshall promised: "Let me prepare, and I will take action when it gets dark. ”
At night, the crescent moon is dimly lit. Fort Shelley alone defends the dangerous terrain. There are tall sentry towers and hidden sentries outside the city, guarding several important routes up the mountain. Marshall took the flying hook and climbed up the most isolated and steep cliff. This can directly reach the right side of Fort Shelley, and it is also the weakest guarded place on the mountain.
When we are approaching the top of the cliff, a searchlight beam shines from the opposite side of the cliff, which will prevent the enemy's troops from climbing up the cliff to sneak attack even in the weakest place. Marshall had already observed the pattern of the light beam. Before the light came, the green cloth on her body had changed color, and at the same time, many filaments were scattered around her, turning her into a rock covered with green moss. She knew that it was a state of war and there would definitely be sentries at the top of the cliff, so she was extra careful. Even the flying hooks she brought were dyed the color of the cliff rocks. After the light shone, Marshall returned to her original form. She turned over and climbed up the wall very lightly and flexibly, without making any sound from her hands and feet. After climbing a few more meters, she suddenly stopped and lowered her breath. She clung to the cliff, her body frozen like a statue, but her flexible eyes observed every place where there might be a whistle within the visual range. Sure enough, she found one, and cleverly bypassed the observation range of the secret whistle, and continued to climb up without anyone noticing.
When you reach the top of the cliff, retrieve the flying hook. In order to facilitate observation, Fort Shelley cut down all the nearby trees and woods. At this time, another searchlight illuminated the city wall not far away. Marshall immediately threw himself on the ground, lowered himself into a ball, and turned into a big tree stump. , mixed with other tree stumps.
The searchlight swept back and forth, and the two lead Rohman long-legged dogs patrolled along the cliff outside the sweeping aperture, but the dogs' sense of smell did not pick up her scent.
For a military town like Fort Shelley, Marshall had already studied the level of security that would be in place. Warcraft such as patrol dogs were almost necessary, so she had already made preparations and carried them before she came. I applied a secret ointment specially made to cover up human body odor.
After the patrol dog walked away, she did not appear, and still moved forward slowly in the shape of a wooden stake. After moving for more than 20 meters, she was close to the city wall. She was about to speed up and passed by when she suddenly saw a big stone moving nearby and stopped quickly. Because the moonlight was too dark, I could only vaguely see the stone. A soldier emerged from behind the stone. A closer look revealed that there was a disguised bunker under the big stone.
Marshall thought to himself: "The defense here is really tight, and there are bunkers set up near the cliff. If no one comes up from the cliff, the bunkers here will be basically useless. This Fort Shelley is old. Yes, all the places I didn’t expect must be tightly guarded, so I have to be careful.”
Because many of the previous countries had derelict armaments and neglected soldiers, there was not much resistance at all. It was not until we reached here that we finally encountered a decent military fortress.
The soldier who came out of the bunker came out to pee. He walked a few steps toward the cliff. When he saw a big tree stump, he unfastened his pants and wanted to pee. At the same time, he also made a confused sound, thinking about something. At that time, there was a big tree stump at this location. Before he could think about it, Marshall, who had turned into a wooden stake, suddenly stood up, covered the soldier's mouth, knocked him unconscious, and dragged him back to the bunker under the stone.
This bunker is a magic bunker with a magic array control inside, which can drive the three muzzles above to fire magic bullets. Marshall did not kill him. It would be bad to kill him now and wait for the monster in his body to protect him. He hid the soldiers in the bunker, sneaked out again, and quietly came under the wall.
There are traps under the city walls and mechanisms on the walls. This is an old trick. Marshall is good at sneaking into and cracking the mechanisms, otherwise Berwick would not have sent her. She looked at the wall and said disdainfully: "The flip trap is too easy for me."
At this time, the searchlight swept back and forth again. Through the searchlight, Marshall saw the two people who had just patrolled by. A dog-lead soldier also came on tour. With a change of thought, he deliberately triggered the trap in front of him and flipped over against the disguised board. A brief glimpse when the flap was flipped over revealed that there were no inverted spear thrusts under this several-meter-deep trap. Instead, there were many small holes. There was also a magic circle on the wall. Once triggered, the small holes would either erupt with electricity or burst into flames. Breathing fire.
Counting the time and guessing that the patrolling soldiers above had passed by, Marshall turned the flap again, looked up at the searchlights on the high tower of the city wall, and threw the flying hook. As she climbed up, she carefully avoided any mechanisms that might be triggered. When she was almost at the top of the wall, she touched a three-brick wall. Three sharp spears protruded from the holes in the wall, and then slowly retracted. go back. Marshall stepped on the retracting iron spear and climbed up the city wall. After a few quick steps, Maoer jumped into the city.
Fort Shelley was built for military purposes. The topography and buildings in the city were carefully planned. Before attacking here, Berwick got a sketch of the architectural layout of the city. Marshall carefully planned it when he came. After seeing it, I can roughly understand the layout of the city. While carefully sneaking around the city, she summoned her guardian, a blue, curly, fat cat.
