Chapter 254
"Lord Alan, the Lionheart has lost about 4000 troops so far. It is impossible to count how many wounded the enemy has, but there must be many."

After lunch, Allen was on sentry on the high mountain, watching the whereabouts of the orcs below.

This report profoundly shows that the Lionheart Kingdom has suffered heavy losses, and they are helpless in the face of Tomorrow City's new weapons.

"Continue to consume, either wait for the arrival of the Bull Head Kingdom to form a double-team situation, or the Lionheart Kingdom will take the initiative to attack..." Allen stared at the mountain with a scope, frowning secretly.

He couldn't see the back of the mountain. Observing like this would reduce the timeliness, which was not very good.

Birds and animals such as eagles are good helpers for observation. Orcs don’t understand bird language, but Allen can communicate.

Allen whistled, and the pigeons on standby flew over.

"Cuckoo!" Allen pointed to the sky and then to the mountain.

The pigeon raised its head and listened for a while, seeming to understand what Allen said, and replied: "Goo!"

The pigeon flew away, notified the eagles to patrol collectively, and then reported what they saw to Allen.

The eagle flew over the enemy's camp, and the lion soldiers below looked up and saw the eagle hovering around, worried: "This eagle has not left, what should we do?"

"It's broad daylight, and Tomorrow City is already blatantly staring at us."

The soldiers of the Lion Kingdom were a little uneasy, but thinking that with an army of [-], it would be a matter of time before the Tomorrow City was destroyed.

In the pre-war conference, senior generals gathered again to discuss whether to attack Tomorrow City and the timing of the attack.

But this time they didn't need to spend a lot of time discussing, because the No. [-] substitute carried a letter from the high priest, announcing the outline of the next military operation.

Stand-in No. 950 held the military order and read in a deep voice: "As of this morning, our death toll has been counted. A total of [-] four soldiers died, and Templars accounted for [-]% of them."

"The enemy's cannons have a range of at least 1000 meters. We cannot passively wait for the next night. We must take the initiative now."

"Their army will not exceed 6000 at full strength. We have [-] regular troops, [-] paladins, and [-] slaves."

"Choose a low city wall and push it over in one breath."

After No. [-] finished speaking, he read the military order in public and put it on the table, "Have you heard everything, hurry up and prepare for battle."

The High Priest's intention was very clear, to fight against Tomorrow City while the manpower is still sufficient.

The equipment in Tomorrow City is too strong, the guns have a long and accurate range, the cannons have an extremely long range, and they have invented shells that can explode, which is almost impossible for people to survive.

The generals looked at each other, their throats rolled, and they wanted to say something, but in the end they had nothing to say, and went back to mobilize before the battle with a sullen face.

They knew that there would be a battle between Lionheart and Tomorrow City sooner or later. That battle should have started last night, but because of the grenade bombing incident last night and the frequent deaths of the patrols, the pace of the army's attack on the city was hindered.

Now rest until noon, the soldiers are well fed, it's time to give their hearts to the kingdom.

Once it was decided to fight, all the soldiers in the camp moved like a chaotic ant nest.

The eagle hovered in the sky, saw the soldiers in the camp moving faster, and immediately flew towards the forest.

Another eagle in the forest saw it leave, immediately flew into the sky, took over its shift, and continued to monitor the movement of the enemy camp.

The sentinel at the camp watched the eagle fly overhead, and finally one flew away, and the second flew in, feeling very annoyed.

"Brother, why don't we shoot eagles with matchlock guns?"

"Are you crazy, the eagle flies so high, can our guns hit it?"

"If you don't try, who will know?"

At the sentry tower, the shield soldier who helped him hold the shield curled his lips, Nunuzui asked him to try it.

The sentinel was indeed annoyed, and after being encouraged by the shield soldier, he picked up the matchlock gun.

First load the gunpowder, poke it firmly with the cleaning rod, then put the round lead bullets, poke it firmly with the cleaning rod, and then fill the firing charge pool with gunpowder.

Finally, take out the fire rope, hold the fire rope with the metal hook with your hands, push it into the fire door to ensure that the fire rope is connected to the black powder, and then raise the muzzle to preview the eagle.

The eagle's circling route was elliptical, not a perfect circle. The sentinel had watched it for a while, and had roughly guessed where the eagle would pass, so he took a preview of an empty space.

"I'll light the match for you." The shield soldier helped to light the rope, and the rope was burning.

The rope burns slowly, taking about ten seconds to burn from start to finish.

While waiting, he kept a close eye on the eagle, and found that the fire rope was about to burn to the end, but the eagle was still some distance away from the preview point. The sentinel quickly moved the muzzle of the gun to preview the next flight point of the eagle.

boom!
A violent recoil hit the orc's arm, and the bullet was propelled into the air, flying high and deflected by a gust of wind, missing anything.

However, the eagle was startled by the gunshot, and looked down to see a certain orc in the sentry tower aiming at it. The eagle flapped its wings hurriedly and slipped away in a panic.

The eagle often deals with the orcs in Tomorrow City, and often sees their muskets burst into piercing gunshots, and sometimes they will kill people inexplicably.

It knew those weapons, so when it saw the sentry tower soldiers of the Lionheart Kingdom shooting, it subconsciously regarded them as the murder weapon of Tomorrow City.

The guns made by the orcs in the Lionheart Kingdom are not as good as Tomorrow City. The watchtower soldier had no illusions about success, but after seeing the eagle back in shock, he also smiled.

"No, you really hit it?"

"Good luck, I was lucky." The sentinel scratched the back of his head and smiled, very happy.

After a while, the legend of the sentinel's bird hunting spread in the camp.

"Did you know that the gunshot just now was fired by the tower guards, and he hit an eagle! The eagle was hit and fled away!"

Steve, the former sentinel, frowned and spat on the ground, "Bah, I don't believe it, if it really hit, why didn't the eagle fall down!"

"Well, the eagle flies too high, and the power of the bullets is weakened." The companion is a novice, who has no three-dimensional understanding of gunpowder and firearms.

"The first two, this is your gunpowder bag. Be careful not to get it wet." The gunpowder master who was in charge of supervising the logistics distribution of the gunpowder bag frowned, and his voice suddenly increased a few decibels.

It hit, but the eagle did not fall. This is really a sad story. The gunpowder master dared not say it clearly. He knew that the bullet was not powerful enough due to the poor quality of the gunpowder formula.

The eagle left despondently, it was not actually hit, but such an incident before the battle did have the effect of encouraging the soldiers.

Their sentries succeeded in shooting birds. There is no reason why the regular army would be powerless against the gunmen of Tomorrow City.

Under the rumors of rumors, the orcs regained their confidence and left the camp full of hope, rushing to the location that had been reconnaissance yesterday.

That direction is exactly where the four-meter city wall of Tomorrow City is located.

At the same time, Allen also received the eagle's eagle notice.

He wrote a letter on the spot and sent an eagle to send it to the city wall behind.

War is imminent.
