Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 486 Chapter 486
On the eastern border of the Frozen Empire, in a dwarf barracks outpost of a neighboring country, flames were shining on a group of burly men carrying rifles.

These dwarves have big beards, and the average height is between 1.5 meters and 1.6 meters. Each of them wears a leather hat and holds a Mosin Nagant rifle.

The Mosin Nagant rifle is a rifle specially designed by the Datang Group for dwarves. The technology is very mature, and it has become the standard rifle for the armies of seven or eight dwarf kingdoms and the Ice Empire.

Beside the fire, a dwarf was holding a cup, and the hot soup in it was steaming.Although it is close to spring, it is still very cold here.

In order to cope with the cold climate, the dwarves' winter clothes are very thick, which makes them look like balls.

They sat around the fire, their fronts were scorched by the flames, but their backs were chilled by the blowing cold wind.

"This damn weather!" A dwarf complained helplessly after taking a sip of hot soup.The border has been in danger recently, otherwise they wouldn't be guarding such a trench where no one would come in such a ghostly weather.

The entire outpost is composed of two trenches and a watchtower. The watchtower is still some distance away from the trench. There will be no people stationed there at night, because it is dark anyway and nothing can be seen.

This small fortification is far away from the main road, and almost no one will come, so stationing an infantry squad here is actually more symbolic than practical.

"We are pretty good, at least we still have a mouthful of hot soup to drink." The dwarf squad leader knocked on the ice chips on his shoes, breathing hot air to comfort his subordinates.

They are weak countries, and after the establishment of the Frozen Empire, they have been living in fear.War could break out at any time, and everyone knows it's only a matter of time.

As soldiers, they can only honestly fight for their motherland, which is an undoubted obligation and responsibility.But in this case, who can be less stressed?

After such a long period of integration and development, the Frozen Empire is no longer a behemoth at the same level as their kingdom.

After raiding the historic city of Ironforge, the Frost Empire seems to have inherited the Dwarf Empire legally, and it is naturally superior to the surrounding Dwarf Kingdoms.

What makes people even more desperate is that this icy empire, which is already huge in size, has completed terrifying industrial construction with the support of human beings.

The cold dwarves built factories and laid a railway from Everwinter Harbor to Ironforge.Countless various industrial facilities have given Ironforge a new look, and many dwarf kingdoms have even moved to take the initiative to attach themselves to the Ice Empire.

With the blessing of industrial capabilities, the army of the Ice Cold Empire is obviously also very strong. In the past year, the high-level people of the Ice Cold Empire have been eager to move, planning to deal with external conflicts.

Everyone knows that war is a good way to resolve internal conflicts, so everyone knows very well that this war can easily be fought.

"I don't know what the ice-cold dwarves are thinking. They are already so rich, and they are still not satisfied... Is it really necessary to unite all the dwarves?" An old soldier brought the slightly cold hot soup close to the fire Heap, complained depressingly.

If the powerful countries were not expanding their armies and preparing for war, these small countries would not follow suit.If it wasn't for dealing with the army of the Frozen Empire, they wouldn't have been drafted into the army and come to this place where no shit.

From a distance, the trench they were in was almost completely covered by ice and snow, and the wind blew over the smooth snow surface, blowing cold ice crystals.

Although the trenches can block most of the cold wind, no one can feel good about staying in the dark in this weather.

He took out another piece of frozen bread from his grain bag. The veteran heard some movement vaguely, so he slightly adjusted the direction of his ears.

"What's the matter?" The squad leader asked immediately when he saw that the most experienced veteran under him suddenly felt strange.

You know, when the Frozen Empire was still the Frozen Kingdom, it suddenly attacked the Northern Dwarf Empire, quickly ended the war, and occupied Ironforge.

Now everyone is afraid that the Frozen Empire will repeat the old tricks, so they are very vigilant. Everyone has dug several lines of defense on the border, deployed a large number of troops, and formed a continuous defensive belt of trenches.

"It's okay." After listening carefully, he didn't find anything unusual. The dwarf veteran shook his head, denying his own judgment.

After he finished speaking, he buckled his grain bag, stuffed the hard bread into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

The individual soldier carrying equipment developed by the Datang Group is very popular, so all countries have tried their best to imitate it, and developed special military carrying equipment belonging to each country.

Some countries prefer larger jugs, some countries can make grain bags smaller, some use leather for drawstrings, some use canvas.

In short, the variety also increases the recognition of these troops.After all, if everyone wears the same equipment on the battlefield, it will be ridiculous to fight.

The most convenient thing to distinguish is the steel helmet, so the styles of steel helmets in various countries are basically different.The area where the dwarf kingdom is located is cold, and most countries are reluctant to use steel helmets, preferring to use leather hats as standard equipment.

After all, compared with steel helmets, leather hats have obvious advantages in daily warmth, because the raw materials are self-sufficient and the price is not expensive. The bigger reason is that these countries seriously lack consideration of defense performance.

This world has not yet broken out a large-scale and all-round brutal war like World War I, so there is no theoretical support for the generals to make up their minds to popularize steel helmets or similar protective equipment.

Not everyone has a system like Tang Mo's, which is accurate and forward-looking.Therefore, some countries have completely copied Datang Group's operations and directly purchased and equipped with steel helmets, while some countries have not done so for various reasons.

Some are for cheapness, some are for cheapness, and some are simply for cheapness-this one reason is enough, and there is no need for a second one.

Due to the lack of steel production capacity, steel helmets are definitely a luxury item: Compared with rifles and machine guns, it is obvious that a "hat" can be discarded.

"It won't be anything." The squad leader became vigilant. He stood up in the snowstorm, squinted his eyes and walked aside, stuck his head out to face the wind and snow and looked in the direction of the border.

The night was pitch black, looking out against the flying snowflakes, it was pitch black everywhere, and the whole land was eerily silent.

"It's nothing... If someone came close, it would have been exposed." The veteran also stood up, walked to his squad leader, and persuaded: "Go back!"

The squad leader thought about it, and what the veteran said made sense.They have been busy on the border for almost a year, and it's not in vain, and it's not like they don't have their own advanced weapons!

They planted tens of thousands of landmines along such borders, covering almost all unpopulated areas.Although there are not dozens of them per kilometer, the deterrent effect is still sufficient.

As long as dozens of new weapons such as landmines are buried casually, and then a wooden sign is inserted where the enemy can see it, with warnings about the danger of the minefield, it is enough to scare away those Ice Cold Empire soldiers who are plotting evil.

And if the enemy invades on a large scale and steps on these landmines, the explosion will immediately alert the defending side and provide early warning for the defending troops.

This kind of thing called a landmine is a new weapon developed by the Datang Group, but it soon became an artifact that countries are vying to imitate.

In order to slow down the enemy's attack speed and at the same time cause continuous damage to the enemy, this weapon quickly became the sweetheart in the minds of commanders from all over the world, surpassing the heavy machine gun, the cow lady, in an instant.

"It's my overthinking." The squad leader smiled, reached out and patted the shoulder of his most trusted veteran, then looked into the distance, retracted his head, and walked back to the side of the bonfire.

A few soldiers filled the firewood sticks that were almost covered by snow under their feet into the campfire again to make the dancing flames more vigorous.

I dare not sleep. If I fall asleep in this cold weather, whether I can open my eyes tomorrow is a problem.

So everyone can only huddle together around the flames.Waiting for the wind to stop and the snow to stop, waiting for the sky to be illuminated by the sun again.

The squad leader continued to sit back and chat with the veterans. They chatted about their children and the plump dwarf actress Maca.

Then there was everyone's unrestrained, happy and obscure laughter, and topics that only belonged to adults drove everyone's drowsiness away.

As he was talking, the old soldier stopped suddenly again. He turned his ears and frowned, as if he really heard some, continuous, weird slight sounds.

But the sound quickly disappeared in the wind again, making it unreal.The veteran listened for a few more seconds, then disarmed himself suspiciously—he really didn't dare to confirm whether he really heard something.

At this moment, directly above them, a huge black figure was slowly drifting forward in the wind and snow.

In the dim cockpit of the airship, the airship commander of the Frozen Empire listened to the reports of his subordinates with his hands behind his back and an ugly face.

The top of their airship has been frozen, and there is thick snow hanging on it. The weight of the entire airship is already very dangerous, but the previous weather forecast did not say so.

"We are already trying our best to lose weight..." The adjutant's face was also extremely ugly, and he reported in frustration: "Two warriors have ventured onto the airship and are clearing the snow... I hope... the snow will stop soon Bar……"

"I hope so." The captain looked through the porthole on his side and saw another huge black shadow flying in the same direction not far away, still very nervous.

The Frost Empire has carefully prepared for this operation for more than half a year. If something goes wrong in their link, then they will be the sinners of the empire.

"Confirm the direction!" Because he was traveling at night and there was no reference to the stars, the captain had to nervously confirm whether his flight direction was correct every once in a while.

They are already in the territory of the enemy army now, and as long as the day breaks, fools can see their huge figures.

But it doesn't matter!Because they are in heaven!In the sky where no enemy can stop!As long as they keep flying towards the target, the enemy will be helpless against them!
The other party can only watch them fly to their destination, and then drop bombs to destroy those high-value and extremely expensive strategic targets!

They are like sharp knives, piercing the softest belly of the enemy army at the fastest speed!One blow to defeat the enemy and end the war!

"There is no problem with the heading!" The pilot who was controlling the steering wheel glanced at the compass in front of him, and reported to his commander.

"Send two more people up! No matter what method...maintain the altitude of the airship!" Looking at the altimeter again, the captain became nervous again, and ordered to the adjutant: "For His Majesty the Emperor! Ulla!"

"Ula!" The adjutant responded with enthusiasm in a low voice, and then walked towards the rear cabin.

After passing through the narrow corridor, on both sides of this long passageway spliced ​​together by iron nets, there are airship magazines full of bombs.

Now, only half of the bombs are mounted on these ammunition racks, because long-distance raids are to be carried out, so taking into account the load, only half of the ammunition can be carried.

It is precisely because of the accurate calculation of the overload before that they can now safely float in the wind and snow.

Just when everyone was extremely nervous, God seemed to have heard the prayers of these Frost Empire dwarves.

the snow stopped...

The wind gradually died down, and the snowflakes stopped falling.

The captain in the cockpit of the airship clenched his fists!The crisis is over!Their chance is still there!
In the quiet night sky, thirty huge black shadows drifted silently and gradually into the distance.

On the ground, the wind and snow stopped, and the veterans beside the campfire never heard the weird buzzing sound just now.

"The snow has stopped!" The squad leader stretched, feeling that God still cares for them.At least, the snow stopped in the first half of the night.

"Yeah! Good luck!" The veteran nodded, shaking off the uneasiness in his heart, and forced a smile.

In the hinterland of the kingdom, next to an ordinary country house, a man took out his pocket watch and looked at the time by the candlestick.

Then, he picked up the clay pot at his feet and walked out of his room.Borrowing the moonlight, he walked to an open space step by step, and looked at the piles of wood that he had piled up all day today.

There were messy withered grass and neatly stacked logs on the woodpile, and there was snow on the top that was too late to clear.

The man swept away most of the snow on the pile of logs, then poured the black oil from the clay pot on the logs, and then took out a box of matches from his arms.

He struck a match, and it flicked into the pile of logs, igniting the kerosene inside.Huge flames soared into the sky, and they could be seen clearly even at an altitude of a thousand meters.

In the cockpit of the Frost Empire airship troop, the navigator shouted excitedly: "I saw it! The ground guide saw it!"
-
Today is not so uncomfortable, thank you for your concern!After Long Ling checked his status, he began to restore the update.
