Heart of Empire Chapter 260: Heart is like steel

The soldier who was put down by the hanging basket still failed to complete the task in the end. When the hanging basket was close to the lower part of the city gate and before he could throw the shell in his hand, an arrow shot Killed him.

But this is not the end. There are 300 soldiers in the first brigade. In a blink of an eye, two hanging baskets were lowered. A task that is easy to kill.

But this time, although two soldiers went down, there was only one shell.

The value of alchemy shells is not low, how can so many be wasted?

One of the soldiers holding the alchemy shell has the same task as the previous one, while the other guy who doesn't hold the shell has an extra job - he needs to jump to another hanging basket while the hanging basket is descending. Go to the basket and pick up the shells from the previous soldier's body for reuse.

The luck was very bad. In the process of jumping from one hanging basket to another, the empty-handed soldier didn't know whether it was due to nervousness or too high difficulty, so he failed to jump well. The height on the left and right sides of the building fell, and a leg was broken, but before he could cry out, he was chopped off by the soldiers of the Maron Legion who surrounded him.

As for the other person, he managed to ignite the fire and successfully threw the cannonball down, but he was too resigned to his life, so the thrown cannonball failed to hit the target. The crashing car was still hitting the city gate one after another.

He was quickly pulled up, and there was no accident on the way, and he successfully stepped onto the city wall alive.

But before this guy could heave a sigh of relief, his team leader slapped his head and face: "Have you heard everything I told you before? I told you to descend to a height of three meters before throwing the bomb, and throw it closer , who told you to throw it away so early?"

The soldier covered his face, it was hard to tell.

Indeed, there was a requirement of a height of three meters before, but it was only after he was on the scene that he realized how terrifying three meters is—if an enemy soldier jumps up, he can cut it with a weapon in his hand. get him!

"Go down again! If you can't finish this time, I won't pull you up!" The team leader said again viciously. Without giving him any chance to intercede, he stuffed another shell into his arms and pushed him into the basket.

On the other side, an even more unlucky soldier once again took on the task of picking up the lost cannon hanging in mid-air.

The soldiers next to him couldn't bear it, and they were also afraid that this task would fall on their own heads. The way they looked at their captain had changed, and they were a little dissatisfied. This task of sending them to death is really inhumane.

The team leader still maintained a hard look on his face, as if he didn't care about these eyes.

But where does he really not care? It's just that there is no way.

This plan was drawn up by Verina herself. It is still a very cruel method. The soldiers sent down have a high chance of completing the task, but the survival rate is terribly low.

She will not understand this truth, but she still suppresses the captain and keeps sending her soldiers to die in order to complete that difficult task.

This is easy to understand from Verina's own perspective, just like she decisively gave up on the soldiers at the gate of the city before, this is also a kind of approach that looks cruel but is very easy to understand .

How many soldiers are worth sacrificing to prevent the city gate from being broken? Verina didn't know this number, but if she really wanted to measure it, it would definitely be worth more than a large group of soldiers.

Since this is the case, she will not hesitate at all-at worst, all the first brigade will die, and all 300 soldiers will go down on the hanging basket, and they will not succeed even once?

That's what she thought, and she did so without any pressure.

Soldiers from the first brigade were constantly being let down near the city gate. At first, Ma Long's people didn't understand what they were going to do, but when two bombs exploded beside them, they It would be foolish not to react.

It's just a pity that among the soldiers who were mobilized to attack the city gate and the city wall, there were no archers. The one who was shot to death earlier was an archer hundreds of meters away

The arrow shot out killed him.

This flow of arrows is quite dependent on luck. Although they have temporarily mobilized crossbowmen, Verina on the city wall is of course impossible to allow Malone's long-range attack troops to approach so easily, and has been suppressing them all the time.

However, this does not mean that the soldiers protecting the charging cars under the city wall cannot deal with the people on the hanging basket.

When the hanging basket is placed in a lower position, these soldiers will throw the weapons in their hands over.

Of course, this is not as accurate as point-blank shooting, but at least it is a countermeasure.

Not to mention, the effect is still there. Several soldiers on the hanging basket were thrown to death just like this.

When nearly 20 soldiers from the garrison battalion were killed in battle, the remaining people were very resistant to this mission, and no one was willing to continue even under constant pressure from officers at all levels.

This is different from fighting to death on the battlefield. On the battlefield, facing the enemy's blade directly, no matter how desperate, the soldiers have the idea and courage to fight to the death.

But now, in this situation where one dies one by one, it is very difficult for people to have any courage.

The captain was quite helpless, but just as he was about to say something harsher, he saw Verina walking over.

"Why didn't the command continue?"

"Legion Commander..."

Verina is not actually asking about ~IndoMTL.com~ The meaning of this sentence is more of a questioning one.

When the captain hesitated, she simply pointed out two soldiers and asked them to go down.

One of them refused, and the paladin didn't care, so he slashed out with a single sword.

Stepping on the head that rolled down to her feet, Velina said coldly: "The first day you entered the training camp, what was the first sentence I told you? Those who do not follow the order will be executed on the spot!"

The paladin general, who was once amiable in the eyes of the soldiers, now has a heart as hard as steel.

Soon, under her personal supervision, two more soldiers were lowered by the hanging basket, but they died without any accident, and none of them survived.

Verina didn't even frown, and two more soldiers were let go.

With the lessons learned from the past, who would dare not follow?

This time luck was good, there was a bang, and the bomb exploded anyway.

Before, it was not the case that there were no bombs exploding. However, the previous few explosions failed to hit the car, at best they exploded nearby. There are still some threats, but they are not too great.

But this time, the bomb just landed on top of the rushing car! (To be continued.)
