in the name of the queen.

Chapter 208 The dog is barking

"The enemy's biggest threat is the fort position occupying the commanding heights!"

Christine looked at the partial map of the battlefield in front of her and pointed out the key to the problem.

Helenzburg's lack of troops not only lost the surface positions of the inner and outer city, but also allowed the Kingdom of Oden to occupy Helen Mountain to the east outside the city.

This mountain is neither high nor low, and the large-caliber heavy artillery just covers Helenzburg and the eastern section of the canal.

The main position of the Oden Kingdom's army relies on Helen Mountain and the Gil Canal, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Now that the key to the problem is grasped, how to solve the problem?
Roland remained silent, and Sif turned her gaze to the window to look at the scenery.

Christine was a little annoyed when she saw that Sif had nothing to do with her. Fortunately, she never expected Sif to be of any use other than charging in person.

Her fingertips tapped the map rhythmically, and her thoughts flew to the front line dozens of kilometers away.

The carriage windows were rolled up, and the scenery along the way was beautiful, but she had no intention of watching it.

If the old warlord appears, he will secretly frighten Shank and force Shank to retreat. If Shank takes action regardless, he also plans to let Roland and the others attack first, and then only attack if they can't withstand him.

As we all know, the serious descendants of dinosaurs in this era are birds, and those that look like evil dragons are lizards, not dragons. The title of dragon hunter is very important.

Even if the cannonball wasn't so crooked, she might die if the old warlord decided to take her with him when he was dying.

As long as the enemy's large-caliber artillery is damaged, it loses its firepower advantage until it can be repaired.

The only way to deal with him is to ask Master Anthony to take action.

"It doesn't matter, just let the people on the mountain come down."

As night fell, the army found a place to camp, and the carriage slowly stopped.

"The breakthrough point is here. The Kraken lures the fort defenders on the shore. The temple warriors take the opportunity to climb Mount Helen and quickly destroy the enemy's cannons."

"You are the Queen. If you die in battle, the war will be over. I can't take any chances."

Despite Sif's repeated protests, Christine refused.

Christine is right, she can appear in person, but guns don't have eyesight. Although musket bullets can't kill her, large-caliber shells can send her on her way.

"The only thing we have to worry about is that the enemy has placed a few super strong men here. If the old warlord is also here, it will be troublesome."

The small cannon just equipped by the new army can be used. The small cannon is also a cannon. Even if a 6-pound shell hits the body, it will still go to the underworld without saying a word.

However, Roland and Sif had reasons not to abandon Helenzburg, which made the possibility of completing the task at low cost disappear and the difficulty of solving the problem suddenly increased.

That's okay, if it's too simple and doesn't show her ability.

The old warlord Christine was talking about was Shank Oden, a distant branch of the Oden royal family. He is not a typical northern berserker, but takes another path.

Sif was unconvinced, but could only accept the arrangement.

The firepower is fair or even dominant, and then it’s Christine time.

She owed Roland a favor, and if she didn't repay it, she would always feel guilty, which would hinder her path to becoming a strong person.

Although there is a lot of moisture, there is no doubt about his strength.

Christine's reasons were supported by Roland. Sif was arranged to stay behind and accompany Christine.

Since Anthony was going to go, she simply arranged for Lisa to be included in the battle to destroy the fort position.

This favor can be repaid by annihilating the Oden Kingdom's army at a relatively small cost.

Christine's fingertips pointed at a certain point on the map and said in a deep voice:

Although Shank is very strong, with Anthony's protection, the overall risk is controllable.

Roland knew that this meant they were using Shank as a target for training.

This not-high mountain is backed by a canal and faces the plain. The front slope is gentle, but there are a large number of troops stationed there. It is definitely not possible to attack the fort position head-on with troops and artillery fire.

Anthony agreed to take action, but he did not intend to take action immediately.

There is also a rare super demonized monitor lizard on his hunting list, so he shamelessly calls himself "Dragon Hunter".

They can only go ashore from the canal and attack from behind.

It is not difficult to win this battle, but what is difficult is to encircle and annihilate it.

Sif bit her lip and endured it for a long time, but couldn't help but remind her: "But the siren can't climb the mountain."

Kristine withdrew her mind and focused her gaze on Mount Helen.

Christine did not expect the commandos to take the fort position and hold it; her request was to destroy the Oden artillery.

Although Shank is weak among the strong ones of the seventh rank, he is as powerful as a god of war in front of the "weak" ones of the eighth rank.

She can dodge swords and arrows, and can resist musket bullets, but she is not invincible.

Of course Christine knows this.

It is said that he has the blood of an ancient giant in his body. He is nearly three meters tall and weighs several hundred kilograms. He can tear apart ligers and even brown bears with his bare hands. He once went into the sea and hunted three small whales with his bare hands.

"First attack the outer positions, mobilize the enemy troops, and then let the Kraken sneak attack Helen Mountain from behind at night."

After much deliberation, Kristine could only come up with one solution.

Only Sif was excluded.

Sif left the camp alone, found a quiet place, and looked up at the stars.

She is waiting for someone.

She didn't wait long, Roland's figure soon appeared.

"Why, are you still angry about my suggestion?" Roland's gentle voice came from behind.

"If I don't even have the ability to face Shank, how can I face Sophia?" Sif asked softly.

She turned around slowly, her face calm.

She didn't scream hysterically, she didn't complain angrily, she just spoke calmly.

"We don't have time."

Roland and Sif looked at each other for a second and then changed their minds.

"Okay, let's fight side by side."

Sif was right.

If you are afraid of danger, then don't provoke Sophia, take her to find a place to hide, and enjoy the last silence before the end of her life.

If there is no return day approaching, retreating to the countryside seems to be a good choice.

But the day of return is there, and there’s no point in pretending.

Those caught in the whirlpool of fate have nowhere to escape.

Since you can't escape, face it bravely.

The next day, the main force of the new army led by Christine continued to advance.

Behind the army was an integrated infantry brigade led by the Mirror Queen. Although this unit does not have the designation of the Praetorian Guard, it plays the role of the Praetorian Guard.

According to the battle plan, the arrival of the Guards Brigade was the last nail in the enemy's coffin.

What really determines the outcome is the battle before the arrival of the Guards Brigade.

Especially the battle of the Helen Mountain artillery position.

On June 1792, 6, night fell.

In summer in Northern Rodinia, the temperature is not too high, and the sea breeze brings refreshing rain, washing away the hustle and bustle of the day and bringing coolness to the night.

Helen Mountain, the fort position of the Kingdom of Oden.

The soldiers on night patrol walked lazily along the patrol route with no expression on their faces.

They were too lazy to speak, and they were too lazy to look more.

The leading captain silently glanced at the city below the mountain. When he saw the bright lights of the city hall and the flag of the Kingdom of Oden, he cursed secretly in his heart.

The bloody Battle of Helenzburg is over.

This battle consumed too much life, time, and morale. Looking at the listless soldiers from the corner of his eye, he should have scolded them severely, but he couldn't.

Going out on patrol on a rainy day is not a good job, not to mention that there are no enemies here at all.

If you want to climb Mount Helen, you have to either climb the cliff behind or attack from the gentle slope from the front.

With the current strength of the Hanseatic province, it is simply impossible.

Sneak attack? The captain couldn't help but want to laugh.

He even half expected someone to attack him by surprise. If these idiots knew that Lord Shank was stationed at the fort position, they would definitely be desperate.

The end of the patrol route is the cliff edge.

He would unbutton his pants here every night and take a dip in the canal. Although he certainly couldn't urinate into the canal dozens of meters away, he could hypnotize himself into peeing.

The team leader and ten soldiers came to the cliff and prepared to start the nightly ritual.

Just as he was about to unbutton his pants, a soldier pointed at the canal curiously and laughed.

"Captain, did you hear it? Someone is singing over the canal. It's so nice."

"Nonsense, I'm not deaf, don't talk, just listen quietly!"

The Geel Canal is a busy canal, with many ships passing by every day. The Battle of Helenzburg did not have much impact on shipping.

The ships anchored at night, and occasionally someone would sing out of boredom.

The patrolling soldiers were so mesmerized by what they heard that they didn't even notice that this section of the canal was empty and no ships were moored.

The eyes of the team leader and the soldiers gradually became blurred, and they walked towards the edge of the cliff with silly smiles.

Amidst the sound of raindrops, their bodies fell like a leaf, crashing down at the end of the cliff hundreds of meters deep without stirring up much dust.

Singing engulfed the patrol.

However, ten minutes later, the patrol miraculously climbed up from the cliff, as if what they fell down was not the cliff, but a small step.

If someone looks carefully, they may find that all members of this patrol team have been replaced.

The patrol team walked towards the handover point.

The military uniforms are still those military uniforms, but the people have changed.

Walking at the front was Roland wearing a disguise mask.

He was similar in stature to the patrol leader. As long as he wore a mask, he could easily get away with it in the dark night.

It's handover time.

Another patrol reluctantly walked out of the camp gate and walked listlessly toward the handover location.

The leading captain couldn't keep his eyelids open, and weakly saluted Roland, not even bothering to ask if there was anything unusual.

Just when the two captains were intertwined, Roland stopped.

The team leader who took over also stopped, and when he was about to ask, his eyes suddenly went black and he completely lost consciousness.

Roland and others used very clean hands and feet to kill the ten patrolling soldiers, then dragged them to the grass nearby and threw the stripped military uniforms off the cliff.

Under the darkness, wind and rain, Roland's special operations team approached the fort position.

Roland was slightly surprised when he saw hundreds of large-caliber artillery arranged in a neat queue.

With such powerful firepower and nearly 90,000 troops, Helenzburg couldn't be taken?

Without any time to think, he took out the corrosive agent prepared by Norton and prepared to take action.

Plan A tonight is to sneak up the mountain and pour corrosive into the barrel to complete the damage.

Plan B is to launch a signal flare after being discovered by the enemy and use the darkness to attack.

Munina sang in person, seducing the enemy's patrol team down the mountain, changing into their clothes and taking the opportunity to sneak up the mountain, and then carry out the sabotage mission.

It was Roland and the temple warriors who were responsible for the destruction.

Sif and the support team were lying in ambush in the hidden place on the side of the mountain cliff, ready to provide support at any time.

If it becomes a storm, Roland will join them and hold out until support arrives.

Although the artillery position on the mountain was defended by hundreds of soldiers, Shank was the only real threat.

With Anthony in charge, Roland wasn't that worried.

If you can kill Shank, it's not difficult to kill hundreds of soldiers.

Then you can hold the hilltop position and wait for Christine to encircle you from inside and outside.

This tactic can probably be called central blooming.

As we all know, the strategy of central blooming is very dangerous. Once done improperly, you will become a lone soldier and get killed.

If Shank is awakened in advance, the difficulty of completing the plan will become hellish.

Fortunately, tonight's operation went smoothly.

Lady Luck was on his side, and it rained moderately.

If the rain gets heavier, the difficulty of climbing the cliff will increase sharply. If it were smaller, the enemy would not put a gun jacket on the artillery and leave no one to watch.

The special operations team moved very quickly. Everyone carried a bottle filled with corrosive and poured the corrosive into the gun barrel according to the predetermined dosage.

The strength of the gun barrel that has been treated by corrosive agents has dropped sharply, and it will explode once fired.

In the wind and rain, the ghostly special operations team completed their sabotage mission and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a soldier came out to get up for the night. He vaguely saw a figure moving around the artillery position, and the alert cat came over.

He looked over fearfully, only to find that it was a night patrol, and he finally felt relieved.

He smiled and greeted the patrol, "Hey, Blind, why did your patrol come here at night?"

Roland's heart tightened instantly, and he held down the flying knife calmly.

This is beyond the range of the flying knife, so we have to wait for this unlucky guy to get closer.

He nodded and waved the strange soldier away.

The soldier who got up from the night muttered a few words, turned around and prepared to leave.

Roland was about to move over to take action, but a temple warrior who couldn't wait had already taken action.

He raised his crossbow and fired a poison-quenched arrow.

The soldiers who got up from the night fell softly.

Roland put down the throwing knife in his hand and gave a thumbs up to the temple warrior who took action.

The special operations team left quickly and headed towards the support team's position.

It's dangerous to stay in this damn place for even a second longer.

When passing by the night soldiers, a temple warrior pulled out a short sword and slashed hard.

When the knife fell from his hand, the unlucky soldier's head was moved, and he died with his eyes open.

Seeing the skilled movements of the temple warriors, Roland nodded secretly.

It was indeed an elite fighting force cultivated by the Divine Court, and it was really different from the religious private soldiers he imagined.

It's so ruthless that there's no sign of any light at all.

Perhaps seeing through Roland's doubts, the temple warrior who took the last hit explained in a low voice:

"Your Majesty Guangming, the goddess will not mind if you use dark means to pursue light."

Roland smiled and nodded, accepted his explanation, and waved to leave quickly.

The special operations team left quickly.

Just a few seconds after they left the fort position, a black dog came out of nowhere and pounced on the fallen soldiers. After sniffing it, it couldn't feel the life of its owner and let out a shrill roar.

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"
