North of Mira Village, in Li Huailin's encirclement, the old people were waiting quietly on the mountain. In fact, no one knew if they would be able to wait for someone, but everyone obeyed orders without any questions. In the end, what they waited for wasn't the local army, but a dozen soldiers from their side. Their sudden appearance gave them a shock.
"Marshal, the mission has been completed." Maccon reported to Li Huailin. There were some bloodstains on his armor. It looked like he had been through a battle.
"What do you mean by completed?" the Summoning Jade Emperor asked.
"It means we took care of the two thousand people mining there," Li Huailin said.
"Huh? Done? How did you do it? "the Summoning Jade Emperor said in disbelief.
"Buried alive …" Li Huailin said.
"Buried alive?" The Summoning Jade Emperor was stunned at first, then he suddenly understood something. "You … blew up this mine?"
"Is there a problem?" Li Huailin asked.
"How … how is that possible? Where did we get explosives?" the Summoning Jade Emperor asked.
"We don't have a large amount, but we can still buy a small amount," Li Huailin said.
"A small amount? How do we blow it up? "the Summoning Jade Emperor asked.
"Actually, we didn't use explosives. We used cannons," Li Huailin said.
"Cannons? Are you f * cking kidding me? There are cannons? " The Summoning Jade Emperor was even more shocked. They could even get cannons and transport them here. What was going on?
"It sounds scary, but it's just a cannon with a very small caliber. It's more like a mountain cannon," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "Our luck is good. This is the border between the southern part of the empire and the Dwarf Empire, so we found two cannons in the black market of a nearby city. Both were made by dwarven craftsmen. Although they are not very powerful, the quality is really good."
"It's not very powerful?" the Jade Emperor asked.
"Yeah, it has no practical value at all. It's a solid cannonball, the kind that can only kill one person at most, and it's extremely heavy. Overall, it's not as good as a bow and arrow. After all, it's also something that can be found on the black market. The real military cannons are all controlled items that can't be bought," Li Huailin said.
"Something of that level shouldn't be able to destroy the mine," the Jade Emperor said.
"That's why I'm asking you how you heard it. I've already said that it was destroyed by a cannon blast, not an explosion," Li Huailin said.
"Eh? Is there a difference? "the Jade Emperor asked.
"It's like this …" Mackenzie said, "The marshal modified the cannon a little. He packed it with explosives and plugged the muzzle …"
Even without Mackendall's explanation, Jade Emperor could already imagine what would happen next. The cannons here weren't military-made to begin with, they were all privately made cannons. It wouldn't take long for them to break. This time, Li Huailin made it even simpler. He used it as a one-time use item, filling it with explosives and igniting it. Without a doubt, the cannons would explode on their own. There was no doubt that it was caused by cannons.
"There weren't many guards at the entrance of the mine, and they didn't expect to be attacked at all. After we took care of the guards, we blew up the entrance of the mine. Although the explosion wasn't deep, I reckon that all the dark creatures in the cave were awakened. I think it's going to be difficult for them to get out alive," Mackenzie reported from the other side of the tunnel.
"Bruno, how are you? Are you hurt?" Li Huailin turned to look at another person. It was Li Huailin's number one fighter, Bruno. Because the scale of the battle was small, Li Huailin would definitely bring Bruno, who was the most capable fighter. Now, he was covered in blood. It was unknown if he was hurt. He still had a big role to play later on.
"Reporting, Marshal. I'm not hurt." Bruno immediately replied, "This isn't my HP. They only have a few new recruits. They're too weak. They can't even fight one. I fought ten of them alone and they couldn't even move. It's so boring!"
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. He glanced at Bruno's loyalty. It was only 83. It was troublesome that his loyalty would drop after a victory. It seemed like he would have to beat Bruno up when he got back.
"Marshal, I think someone is coming." While they were talking, Maccon suddenly pointed into the distance and said.
Li Huailin turned to look. It was indeed so. Because they were standing on a higher ground, they had a good view of the surroundings. Now, they could see some torches slowly approaching from afar. Those were the enemy soldiers holding torches. These soldiers had only been here for two weeks. They couldn't walk in the dark, so they could only move forward with torches. That was why they could see them from afar.
"How many?" Li Huailin asked.
"About … 500 to 600." Mackenzie glanced around and quickly determined the number of enemies based on the number of torches.
"Half … about what I expected." Li Huailin nodded. "Be quiet. Wait for my order."
"Yes …" Mackenzie replied in a low voice.
It was Marar's army, a total of 500 people. Of course, they didn't know what was going on. They didn't know that 2000 miners had been buried underground and were fighting with zombies. Because it wasn't the time for war, Marar didn't pay attention to ambushes and the like. He didn't even have the concept of an ambush. Soon, the group of soldiers moved forward and arrived at the mountain pass where Li Huailin was waiting.
"Everyone be careful. The mountain path is dark at night. Don't roll down the mountain, or no one will save you." Marar was still joking with his soldiers. The soldiers naturally laughed and didn't feel any sense of danger. The surroundings were quiet, and they couldn't see anything in the dark. As they walked, Marar's soldiers walked into Li Huailin's best ambush spot.
"Do it!" Li Huailin didn't waste any time and shouted at the people next to him.
"Shoot!" Maccon stood up and gave the order without hesitation. The old men who had been waiting for a long time all stood up in an instant and shot at the soldiers below. Because the soldiers below were holding torches, they basically lit up the field of vision for the old men and told them where to shoot.
"Ah …" "There … there are enemies!" "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The group of people below were rookies and had never been on the battlefield before. Not to mention being ambushed, they had never experienced it before. After the initial shock, they were quickly brought back to reality by the screams of the people around them who had been hit by arrows. The scene instantly became chaotic.
"F * ck … what kind of accuracy is that?" It wasn't the first time that Li Huailin had ambushed people. Previously, it was the ace archer team of the 2nd Division who ambushed people. The accuracy of the arrows and the speed at which the arrows were loaded were unquestionable. A volley of arrows could kill a row of people. However, it was different now. Although these old soldiers were soldiers, it was 40 years ago. Now, they only needed a little training before they could shoot. Their accuracy was unimaginable. Except for a few old soldiers who were a little more accurate, the others were basically shooting at the ground. A volley of more than a hundred arrows killed about six or seven people. This was the result of shooting in such an advantageous terrain. One could imagine what would happen if both sides were in formation.
Fortunately, Li Huailin didn't want to kill a lot of people. As long as the other side was in chaos, it would be fine. Obviously, this goal was achieved. This group of soldiers didn't have enough training, so they didn't know what to do in this situation. Several of their companions were injured or killed, which made them even more flustered.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!" As the commander, Marar still didn't know who attacked him. However, he knew that his soldiers were all new soldiers. It was their first time on the battlefield, and they were ambushed. So, he immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, don't panic. Get into formation, just like during training. There aren't many people here. Don't be afraid, it'll be fine!"
Marar had been a soldier for many years. From this round of shooting, he could tell that the other side didn't have many people. So, his judgment was very accurate. Under normal circumstances, these 500 people would line up and slowly retreat, then organize to go up the mountain to encircle Li Huailin. Li Huailin's side would definitely lose. However, the problem was that Li Huailin wouldn't give them this opportunity.
The moment Marar stood up, Li Huailin smiled. The plan worked. They didn't expect these veterans to have any good results. They were looking for Marar to take the lead. Li Huailin patted Bruno, who seemed to be a little impatient. Li Huailin pointed to Marar, who was still giving orders, and said, "Do you see the guy with the pointed helmet?"
"Yes, General, I see him." Bruno nodded and said.
"That's him. Bring me his head." Li Huailin waved his hand and said.
"No problem." Bruno nodded happily. He raised his sledgehammer and stood up. "Damn, it seems like there's finally someone who looks decent. Don't let me down."
After saying that, Bruno took a step forward and jumped down from the mountain. He raised his sledgehammer and knocked away an enemy soldier who was blocking his way. Carrying the sledgehammer, he walked straight in the direction of Marar.
