Release that Witch Chapter 621: Sleepless nights

"This is ... heavenly punishment," Iron Axe sighed. "You can't even see the shadow of your opponent, you can only be passively beaten. If it is an ordinary enemy, it is absolutely impossible to complete the mountain with gunfire."

First Army commander has seen the power of the howitzer, and naturally knows how amazing it will be if it falls in a densely moving team. There was a distance of five kilometers from the first shell to the front of the position. The enemies either ran all the way and consumed their energy before the war, or continued to advance regardless of the situation, dragging the incomplete team to impact the position. Of course, the most probable situation is still in a hurry, from the march to the escape.

"Unfortunately, the enemies we have to deal with are not ordinary," Roland smiled, "and the number of shells is also very limited, otherwise the two stronghold cannons can wipe out the opponent."

The stronghold gun is fired at a rate of eight rounds per minute due to the use of packaged ammunition. The firepower delivery efficiency is absolutely depressing in this era. Since Kingdom Capital alchemist moved to Neverwinter City with a large number of apprentices, the output of double-base propellant has steadily increased, and the number of shells has become the largest limit. The trigger fuze can only be produced manually by Anna. The extremely precise mechanical structure restricts howitzer Capacity.

"Your Majesty, twenty rounds of corrected cannon have all been launched," after repeating several firings, the battalion commander Van'er reported that "a total of six valid target data were obtained, which were distributed roughly in the second half of the mountain road."

"Very good, here it is today." Roland nodded.

After all, the test shells also need special production. Although the solid warhead is used, the shape and weight are the same as the fuze grenade installed. This delicate work can only be done by Anna. Every day, she will make time to make a certain number of Test the warhead for Artillery Battalion correction.

"Do you need to go somewhere else?" Iron Axe asked.

"No," Roland thought for a moment and then shook his head. "I'll go back to camp first, and you can continue to arrange soldier training."

"Yes, Your Majesty," he saluted.

After returning to the camp, Roland leaned on the reclining chair released a long breath. He found that he didn't have much to do, or that everything was done, and the rest was left to fate.

Five days ago, Church finally responded. According to the Macy report, Holy City city gate was wide open, countless people poured out of the city, and they lined up in a neat line to Cold Wind Ridge. The armor of the warriors flashed silver, overlooking from the sky, like a sparkling river running between Impassable Mountains.

At the same time, the spies installed in the area around the old Holy City and Hermes plateau also sent back secret letters, saying that the scale of Church's was unprecedented, and there were even fewer people in the city.

Evidently the enemy has come out.

The Roland who got the news immediately rushed to the front line, and his arrival also allowed the First Army to raise the morale of the soldiers, and a big battle that will determine the future of the two sides is coming.

More than 4,000 elite soldiers, a preliminary Knight team provided by northern region Duke, a preliminary investigation team composed of Lightning and Macy, Silvie firepower guidelines without leaving dead ends, and combat witchs distributed around the camp. Incomplete. Even the Church's measures were performed step by step in full accordance with the combat plan formulated by Adviser Department. In addition, the residents of Cold Wind Ridge's have all been evacuated. Even if the other party wants to use Berserker drug pills, they can only consume believers in Holy City or force residents from other kingdoms.

The start has been perfect enough.

But there is always a hint of worry in Roland.

That's Pure One.

What form they will appear in and how they will interfere in the decisive battle are unknown.

To avoid casualties caused by the attack, for several days's witchess staying at the front are sleeping in clothes and all are concentrated in a lobby. Silvie and Nightingale are divided into two groups of vigils in turn. As long as the magic power response is found, the entire camp will be awakened by the alarm sound of Echo.

As a result, Church has no extra actions except sending troops to occupy Cold Wind Ridge. Roland has not seen the shadow of Pure One.

He doesn't know if the enemy is planning a heaven-shaking plot or if he disdains harassment at all, and plans to crush himself directly on the front battlefield.

Anyway, all he can do now is to continue to wait.

...

After dinner, Roland lay on the bed early, but he couldn't fall asleep until the bright moonlight spilled through the window slits. Putting on clothes, as soon as I got out of the bedroom, the Nightingale staying outside flashed immediately.

"Why, can't you sleep?"

"A bit, maybe there is more wheat straw under the bed," Roland rubbed his neck and found a wheat leaf from his collar. "When I lie down, I feel that something is sticking back."

"I feel the same way," the Andrea companion of the same group in the middle of the night said, "Not to mention transporting a large bed, at least two more layers of silk quilts should be laid. Northern Lands Duke is too stingy."

"We are fighting, not outings, gentlemen and ladies," Ash has no good air, "the house with shelter shelter from rain is not bad, there is no such high demand."

"Of course, it's really no different for people with rough skin."

"That's better than being weak."

"I think we need to fight again to see who is really weak."

"After you solve Church, you will naturally understand."

"Wait ... can I bet?" Shavi raised his hand.

Nightingale pulled him aside, "Don't bother with them, it's the practice every night."

Roland shook his head with a smile, "I wouldn't have divided them together before I knew it." Because the detection range of Nightingale is much smaller than Silvie, the combat task of the middle of the night group was handed over to the card trio, plus With Nightingale, this is already the strongest offensive combination that witches can get takes action. The group in the middle of the night is mainly defensive, with members Agatha, Breeze, and Iffy. No one can control or block the enemy. "What about the others, do they still adapt?"

"The sisters of Cooperation Association are not as particular about you as you are," Nightingale blinked. "They have all gone through the escape days of wind meals and sleeping. This situation can sleep with your eyes closed."

Well, it seems that I am the most restless ... Roland sitting on the steps, looking up at the stars, silent for a long time, "when this is over, what will we do?"

Nightingale sat down beside him, "Are you nervous?"

"I just feel a little bit sorry," he groaned, and touched his nose. "If we can't beat Church's ..." Will Neverwinter City continue in the current order? Is the kingdom completely absorb by Church, or will it return to the old road of noble division? And Anna and other witches ... Can they really escape to Sleeping Island safely?

Unconsciously, he has developed a strong affection for this land and people.

"Don't worry," Nightingale took his hand and said softly, "As I said before ... as long as I'm alive, you won't be harmed in any way," she paused, "and, our story It's just started. "
