Chapter 828 59. Final preparations
Dumbledore was already very fast. Many mages’ alchemy and research were done in weeks, but they were still barely completed before the Skaven forwards reached the mountains. The third knight golem.
Currently, only magic guns count as half an industrial production line. Annan originally wanted to establish a production line after developing the six-armed knight golem, but time did not wait for him.
Annan had no choice but to hurriedly set up a golem factory and let Bronzebeard work part-time as the factory director. He would suffer Bronzebeard a little longer and promised to find a group of dwarves to come to Liberty City after the war.
In addition, Annan also publicly introduced the Knight Golem. Its strength is between elites and masters, which has attracted many businessmen's interest. However, after saying "the money to make a Knight Golem is enough, After the price of "hire three masters", he received a cold reception.
"We care about the lives of the soldiers of Free City." Such words were not suitable to be said on this occasion, so Francois said: "But the loyalty of the Knight Golem will love you more than your son."
But sales are still zero.
Annan didn't care, his attention was all on the north, and he even sent the only three knight golems there.
“The golem will only rust if kept in the warehouse.”
And throwing it on the battlefield will make it easy to find out the shortcomings and improve them.
The elite team led by Blom, the Hellfire led by Femi, and the Fourth Legion led by Ilymayas all gathered in Hell Mountain, where almost all the combat power of the entire country of Liberty City was gathered.
Grand Duke Girardi also wanted to get involved, but Annan refused and asked him to transfer his people to the border of the principality to keep the rat people out.
If you dare to let 10,000 rat-men in, these 10,000 rat-men will turn into hundreds of thousands within a few months.
On August 8th, at noon, there were only four days left in the week required by the Orr Empire.
This is good news. The bad news is that the frontline reports are that the ratmen entering the mountains have raised the battle flag of the Ironthorn tribe, and this is the only news they know.
I don’t know what the Iron Thorn Tribe is or how strong it is.
But the rat tide that besieged Black Watch never raised its battle flag...
Jerry didn’t know where he and the gray rat priest had gone, and Ma couldn’t be contacted. Leah, Annan can't ask about the Ironthorn tribe.
Femi once sent a white dragon to conduct aerial exploration, but it was discovered by the Rat Man when it was still three or four miles away. The green evil energy wrapped around the dragon's body and almost made it impossible to return.
Elimayas personally went to the north to explore the Iron Thorn Tribe, and discovered a large number of champion rats and rat priests behind the rat tide, and determined that this was the real main forward of the rat people.
Not only them, Ilimoyas also discovered other rat-man tribes in other directions... Obviously, the rat-men were about to launch a full-scale attack.
When the rat tide in the north was still half a day away from Hell Mountain, everyone from the Elite Team, Hellfire, and Fourth Legion gathered in the open space of the camp and watched Annan's pre-war mobilization.
Thousands of pairs of eyes looked at Annan in front of the arched portal. His background was the peaceful Liberty City and the beautiful bay.
"We were once people from the north, and now we have become people from the Middle Earth..."
Annan's words echoed over the camp: "But don't forget who drove us from our homeland. Out, forced to start a new life. ”
"Ratmen! They reduced the city to ruins, made the wheat fields disappear, and made our brothers and sisters pass away. We have escaped to Middle-earth, but they are still not satisfied and want to attack us again!"
Subsequently! As Annan's voice became louder and louder, everyone's eyes burned with the flames of revenge.
They will never forget what the Skaven did in the north.
"Then let them come, so that those rat men who dare to invade will not be able to survive this year's Great Horned Rat Day!"
Annan took a deep breath: "If they dare to open their mouths, kill them. Teeth!”
Looking at those young faces, how many will fall into eternal sleep in a few days?
Olmedo watched from the side as Annan's cheeks gradually softened. When he was about to open his mouth, he stood up and interrupted him: "What I want to say is...this war is destined to be cruel. But this is survival. Battle. There can only be one winner between us and the rat people. "Let's fight and stop the rat people in the Huiyue Mountains forever."
The portal is closed. Annan asked Olmedo, who suddenly stood up to give a speech: "Why did you stop me?"
"Don't let emotions affect your rationality... They are soldiers." Olmedo knew what Annan wanted to say just now: You guys There is still a way out. I will take you back when the crisis comes.
How much fighting spirit do soldiers who are ready to evacuate at any time still have?
"I know..."
But promise is one thing, and action is another.
At this critical moment, Annan didn't care about the Orr Empire. No one could stop him from taking the soldiers home.
……
Femi led the adjutant to inspect the camp for the last time.
The top of Hell Mountain has been poured with cement. From a distance, it looks like the top of the mountain is covered with a layer of gray scab.
This gray area extends nearly 100 meters out of the camp and represents the range of the magic musket.
At the same time, this smooth slope will give rolling stones and logs a powerful acceleration.
Femi also adopted Belial's suggestion and dug an underground warehouse under the camp to stack supplies and hide the portal.
The ratmen do not have air troops, but no one knows whether the ratman priests can spy on the situation in the camp.
After Annan learned of Belial's existence, he hired him as a staff officer to assist Fermi.
Beryl did not refuse. He originally stayed in Hell Mountain to fight the Ratmen again, and the contacts he had in the past few days also made him want to help these young guys.
In addition to the heavily armed Hellfire soldiers as the main force, the orcs took off their heavy armor and also stood on the front line.
They only need to be responsible for throwing stones.
Hell Mountain does not require close combat. By the time the Skaven rushed to the camp, it was impossible for them to win, so only twenty-eight goblin golems and three knight golems were left to block the front line.
The mage group seizes the time to recuperate.
The next battle does not require the participation of the mage group. Maintaining the magic barrier and preventing evil energy from falling into the camp unbridled is their only mission.
The elite team is responsible for defending the mage group.
Even the goblins have their own things to do - polish the rolling stones and logs into shapes that are easy to roll down the mountain, and prepare arrows for the elves and rangers, a lot of arrows.
Ilimoyasi led the white dragons to leave Hell Mountain early. They will try to find opportunities to sneak up on the Skaven Priests. Even if it fails, a blue dragon and thirteen white dragons can harass the rat tide on the outside.
Broken Tooth and Miller were the only two soldiers to be pushed out of the front line. The vote was unanimous and no protest was allowed.
This is a well-intentioned arrangement - they are worried that they are red-eyed and will kill them as ratmen who have broken in.
The wind from high altitude blows over the hills. As the mist surrounding the mountain peaks receded, the people in the camp saw the endless black wave.
