Auroville.Before the first wave of the undead monsters arrived, Viscount Jarvis finally returned.As soon as he got off the ship, he hurried to the Lord's Castle and reported to Owen about the situation of the Red Sand Fortress with the craftsmen who had been sent to direct the construction of the water pipeline.Upon learning that the Red Sand Fortress had been successfully watered, Owen did not hesitate to praise: "Good job!"
I completed my assigned tasks as scheduled. ”"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
The craftsman stroked his chest.Then, Owen turned to look at Viscount Jarvis and asked, "So, Viscount Jarvis, how is the training of the soldiers of the Red Sand Fortress?"
”"Back to Your Majesty."
Viscount Jarvis replied, "Almost all the soldiers have completed their training, and each type of weapon has a corresponding soldier who is proficient in how to operate it, so it shouldn't be a problem to resist the southern invasion of the undead monsters this winter." ”"Do you think it's enough for ammunition?"
Owen asked again."
Hmm......"
Viscount Jarvis pondered for a moment before he spoke, "To be honest, I think the ammunition is a bit tight, after all, the scale of the undead monsters facing the Red Sand Fortress is much larger than that of Dawn City.Hughes talked to me about the ammunition consumption plan, in the early stage, when there are few undead monsters, save a little, use the required number of bullets and put on the bayonet, or pick up the previous weapon to continue fighting, and gradually relax the number limit in the later stage. ”"I see."
Hearing this, Owen made a decisive decision: "During the winter, I will increase the supply of ammunition, even if the delivery time will be delayed, I will fully support the Red Sand Fortress against the undead monsters." ”The railway connecting the Red Sand Fortress has not yet been built, and only the traditional route can continue to be used to transport ammunition.This involves a problem, the transportation channel from Fengsui City to Chisha Fortress is a land route, and the road is often closed by heavy snow in winter, which makes the road very difficult to walk, and it takes a lot of time to reach the destination.After the debriefing, Viscount Jarvis followed Owen to the northern wall, who said that the KPA was equipped with brand new weapons and wanted to show him there.In the artillery position behind the walls, Viscount Jarvis soon saw what Owen called a new weapon, a large cannon.The new artillery is too big, right?
This was Viscount Jarvis's first impression.The barrel length of the previous generation of guns was about the height of an adult, and the guns sent to the Red Sand Fortress were also of the previous generation, while the barrel length of the new generation of guns was close to the height of three adults.With such a huge artillery, its range and power are definitely even more terrifying, and it makes people shudder to think about it.But is it true that the bigger the artillery, the better?"
Your Majesty."
After carefully observing the new artillery, Viscount Jarvis looked back at Owen and commented: "The previous generation of artillery can still be transferred by horse-drawn carts, while the new generation of artillery is larger and heavier, and I am afraid that it must be equipped with more than six pack horses to pull it, and it is very difficult to move, so it is not suitable for carrying with the army." ”"You're right, this cannon is really not suitable for movement in a carriage."
Owen nodded in agreement, and then said, "So, we have prepared an artillery tractor for this new gun to solve its movement problem." ”"Artillery tractor?"
Viscount Jarvis looked confused."
It's a military vehicle specially designed to pull heavy artillery......
Owen explained the purpose of the artillery tractor to Viscount Jarvis in detail, and said that in the future, the car will completely replace the horse-drawn carriage.After listening to Owen's explanation, Viscount Jarvis couldn't help but sigh: "In just a few months since I was away, Dawn City has made so many new things, is it developing too fast, or I can't keep up with this era?"
”"It's because we're moving too fast."
Owen smiled and said, "However, you came back in time, hurry up and familiarize yourself with the new weapon and prepare to deal with the undead monsters."
I have a hunch that they're coming soon. ”"Yes, Your Majesty."
Viscount Jarvis stroked his chest.That night, Auroville ushered in the first heavy snow of winter, and the wind swept the snow through the city.Many residents live in new heated houses, just close the doors and windows, stay at home, and stay comfortable and warm, unlike last year, when they had to endure the cold wind coming in through the cracks.Of course, most of the residents still live in old houses or mud houses, and continue to endure cold snowstorms.Fortunately, the city hall has already distributed heating assistance to families living in difficulty, as long as the fireplace is refueled in time, it should not be a problem to survive the heavy snow tonight.The next morning, the heavy snow had already stopped, and the city hall quickly issued a recruitment announcement for gig workers, organizing people to clear the snow.According to past practice, after the first snow of winter, there is a high probability that a group of undead monsters will appear.As such, Owen also made his way to the northern wall early to see if the new defensive plan was feasible."
I've seen Your Majesty."
Seeing Owen coming, Templar captains Bray Grdjieffer and Viscount Javis hurriedly stroked their chests and saluted."
Hmm."
Owen nodded.Owen and his party then climbed the city wall to see Yuchina and the fourth princess, Emily Wells, helping Winnie put on a new wireless phone.The new generation of wireless phones is much smaller and heavier than the previous generation, and Winnie can finally fly into the air with it on her back, and transmit the enemy situation to us in time while reconnoitring in the air.However, carrying things on your back still has a certain impact on flying.Therefore, Owen allowed Winnie to abandon the wireless phone and speed up to fly back when she encountered danger in the air, saving her life."
Huh!
Did you two get it right?
”Winnie kept urging, she seemed to be getting a little impatient after being here for a long time."
It's coming, it's coming."
Yuchina responded, "Don't worry. ”"The wings behind your back are really in the way, if only you could remove them."
Emily is a bit of a venomous tongue."
No kidding."
Winnie pursed her lips, "If the wings are removed, how will I fly in the future?"
”"Go back again!"
Emily said.It was then that the wireless phone was finally put on for Winnie, and Yucina let out a light breath."
It's finally done, it's really troublesome for you to wear this thing."
At the same time, Owen walked over and asked in a deep voice, "Winnie, why don't you let the soldiers help you get dressed?"
”"Oh!
Your Majesty?!
”Winnie was shocked and quickly explained: "That, it's because the two of them are very interested in this wireless phone and offered to help me put it on, I didn't expect it to take so long to agree, it's not my fault!"
”Fearing punishment, she blamed all the blame.Owen then turned his gaze to Yukina and Emily behind him, and asked, "Why are you two here?"
Don't you go to school?
”
