Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1602: The Fall of Copperforge

Early in the morning, outside the Plains Fortress...

A Giant Eagle Knight fell directly onto the wall of the fortress, causing the wall to fall into brief chaos.

"Medical team! Call the medical team over here!"

Amid the shouting, the soldiers on duty on the wall quickly surrounded them.

"What happened?"

At this moment, the wood elf knight was covered in blood, and the abdomen of the giant eagle under him was also cut with a glaring wound. He fell on the wall dying.

He finally managed to escape back to the Plains Fortress, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he gritted his teeth and spoke with all his strength...

"Saint, Saint Roland I, assault the Copperforge Castle..."

Almost at the same time as he uttered these words, the Wood Elf Knight fainted from his injuries.

He was a messenger stationed at the Copperforge Embassy. When he realized that something was wrong, he was discovered by Saint Laurent I on his way back.

At that moment, a sword energy came directly towards them. Although they ran fast enough, they were unable to avoid the sword energy completely. It only scratched them and severely injured them instantly.

When the medical team arrived at the wall, Shi Lei, the commander-in-chief of the New Taipei District, who had received the news, had also arrived as soon as possible.

"Pass on my order. Send out the Giant Eagle Knight Squadron to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance. At the same time, mobilize the Undead Cavalry to the border to confirm the situation!"

After confirming the situation, Shi Lei issued orders as quickly as possible.

He did not directly send a large force to launch the operation.

Now that Saint Roland I, a warrior at the Zongheng realm, has already taken action, sending ordinary troops there is risky.

At this stage, it is estimated that only the Undead with immortal characteristics and the Giant Eagle Knights who have the ability to fly and can directly avoid the enemy's sharp edge have the ability to carry out the mission in their Plains Fortress.

After receiving the order, the relevant troops were dispatched quickly.

At the same time, on the flagpole of the camp on the mountainside of Copperforge Fort, the heads of Copperforge Fort King Baron Copperforge and Commander-in-Chief Bale Copperforge kept colliding in the howling mountain wind.

Saint Laurent I has stopped. Although the warriors in the Zongheng realm are strong, it is impossible for one person to massacre an entire country. Apart from other things, his physical strength does not allow it.

At this moment, the army of the Saint Laurent Empire has begun to advance from the foot of the mountain.

How could the Copperforge troops, having lost both their king and their commander-in-chief, possibly resist the advance of Saint Laurent's army?

The Tonglubao troops were quickly defeated and retreated quickly into the mountains.

"Lower the stone gate and block the entrance!"

As the order was given, the dwarf who was in charge of guarding the entrance gate of Copperforge Fort smashed the secret door on the side with a hammer, revealing the handle of the mechanism hidden inside.

He twisted the handle, and with a loud bang, a stone door weighing thousands of pounds fell directly from the top, directly blocking the entrance to Tonglu Fort.

This is the ultimate means of their Copper Furnace Fort. When the stone gate falls, the corresponding mechanism will also be damaged, and under normal circumstances it cannot be raised again.

However, when Carl gave this order, he did not hesitate for even a moment.

Because he knew very well that facing Saint Laurent I who possessed the strength of the Zongheng Realm, they had no choice at all.

"Everyone follow me!"

Filled with grief and indignation, Carl, who had sealed the entrance, did not stop and came to their Copperforge's R&D department as quickly as possible.

The steam engine that he brought back was now placed on their research table for the dwarf craftsmen to study.

At this moment, Carl looked at the steam engine with a complicated expression.

Obviously, he knew very well what the Saint Laurent Empire was after.

But he didn't expect that the Saint Laurent Empire would be so crazy that it would directly start a war for a steam engine! Karl couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it.

"Push the steam engine into the furnace!"

The dwarves who received this order were stunned and obviously a little confused.

However, after they reacted, they acted quickly and pushed the steam engine into the furnace nearby.

"Pass on my order, have all the tribesmen gather at the deepest part of the forge!"

The dwarves who built Copperforge were not fools. While sealing the entrance, they certainly would not trap their own people inside.

Therefore, they had already dug a secret passage leading to the outside in the deepest part of Copperforge Castle.

Only a few people in each generation know about this secret passage, and Carl only learned of this secret after he became the Prime Minister.

In Copperforge, the evacuation of the dwarves takes time. Fortunately, the advancement of the Saint Roland Empire's large army also takes time.

During this time, the Giant Eagle Knights from the Plains Fortress had already arrived above Copperforge.

In order to ensure their own safety, they maintained a sufficient height and used "eagle eyes" to observe the situation below.

At this moment, the main force of the Saint Laurent Empire had already occupied the area on the mountainside and was advancing towards the Copperforge Fort further up.

During this process, the vanguard troops who completed the landing first soon discovered that the entrance to Copperforge Fort was blocked by a huge stone gate.

The Vajra Realm warrior who was in charge of the team didn't say a word, picked up his weapon, and attacked the stone gate!
In an instant, gravel flew everywhere.

However, how could a stone gate weighing thousands of pounds be shaken so easily?

Not to mention that this stone gate is obviously not made of common stone.

After several consecutive attacks without any sign of the stone gate being broken, the Vajra Realm warrior realized that the stone gate could not be destroyed by unconventional means.

"Hurry up and bring up the crossbow!"

Compared to attacking this stone door fiercely, it is obviously wiser to use large-scale weapons directly.

However, it is not so easy to carry large military equipment up the mountain.
This in itself is a major geographical advantage of Copperforge.

Combining an entire mountain, the defense of Tonglu Fort is divided into two parts. The first part is the main defense line centered on the camp on the mountainside.

There is a platform here for deploying military equipment.

Under this premise, once the camp on the mountainside falls, the dwarf troops will retreat into the mountain fortress in one breath to resist foreign invasion.

There is almost no platform area for deploying military equipment in the mountain area from the camp on the mountainside to the entrance of Tonglu Fort.

If Saint Laurent I had not personally led his troops to charge into battle and taken advantage of the geographical advantage, the army of the Saint Laurent Empire might not have been able to attack.

At this moment, the news from the front line quickly reached the ears of Saint Laurent I, making him frown.

"A bunch of losers who can't even break a stone door!"

Amidst the cursing, Saint Laurent I did not sit idle. He leaped forward and turned into an incandescent arc of light, leaping to the stone gate of Copperforge Castle.

"Everyone, get out of my way!"

As he spoke, Saint Laurent I drew his sword, and the incandescent true energy quickly condensed on the blade.

The next second, dozens of white sword lights suddenly merged into one and directly slashed on the tightly closed thousand-jin stone door.

"Boom——"

The sword flashed, and the entire stone gate and the surrounding mountains collapsed in an instant!
