Because of this achievement, Roshak was very respectful of the camp construction rules and strictly followed all the rules. Under his leadership, three squads of soldiers quickly used special tools and white lime powder to quickly divide the camps of each company in the open space outside the town.
The entire engineering company was very familiar with this kind of thing. In less than an hour, more than two hundred people had drawn out a neat area on the open space, and then began to put flags with different company numbers in the designated positions.
After everything was done, the soldiers of the engineering company began to think about the task of repairing the bridge. At this time, the road construction puppet had already compacted the empty area in the middle of the barracks and built the road directly to the river. Roshak was lost in thought as he stared at the huge puppet that had stopped and cooled down. The squad leader next to him asked:
Next to him, the squad leader asked, "Platoon Leader, if we repair the bridge, when do we have to transport those things over?"
"I don't know, let's wait for the company leader to arrange it."
Roshak adjusted his military uniform and turned his head to look behind him. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a large troop of trucks transported the soldiers directly out of the city of Dunkel. It only took them two hours to reach the Bordeaux River along the smooth road. The soldiers who got off the trucks began to line up, and then carried the materials to build the barracks in the pre-drawn area of the engineering company.
The road was two-way, and the trucks that dropped off the soldiers immediately turned back. This continuous flow of goods only ended at noon. By three o'clock in the afternoon, more than five thousand soldiers had completely set up the camp.
After the arrival of the five thousand soldiers, the trucks were no longer carrying people, but wood that was cut in advance by the logging puppets from the previous supply station. Sixty truck loads of tree trunks piled up into a small hill beside the river, but Roshak and the others had not started building the bridge. The river was too turbulent, and the bridge they wanted to build must be of the highest standard that the "road construction puppets" could pass through.
It was not that the engineering company could not build. Ever since they were established, their main training was to build bridges and pave roads. However, the current problem was that if they wanted to build such a large bridge quickly, they needed a special "lifting circle" to assist them. And this magic circle had been stored in Castle Domic before they set off and was not transported all the way here.
Roshak received orders to stand by the river, so he and the two hundred soldiers next to him had been staring at the turbulent Bordeaux River for an hour.
Apart from being ordered to draw a huge cross on the ground with lime powder, they had no idea what to do next.
Not long after, a faint noise came from the horizon, and gradually, everyone could hear the roar of the Albatross' eight propellers. The transport plane flew over the camp at a low altitude and dropped a huge wooden box from the rear of the rear cabin. The soldiers of the engineering company, who had never seen an "airdrop" before, were shocked. They thought that the thing would fall on their heads. Then, they saw two figures jumping down with the material and changing the direction of the falling material in the air.
With the help of the floating magic circle and the two of them, the huge wooden box that was more than five meters in length and width landed precisely in the middle of the cross.
After the slight collision, two sorcerers in short robes quickly ran to the team and saluted to the captain of the engineering company. "Members of Elson Magic Research Department, middle-rank sorcerer Brador, low-rank sorcerer Gray, are here to help the engineering company build the bridge! The Heavy Spell Formation has been cast! "
Roshak and the others were in an uproar … After the enemy experienced the power of the "airdrop", the soldiers of Efta also felt the terror of this mobility.
With the addition of the two sorcerers, the originally time-consuming and laborious work was quickly completed. Unpacking, assembling, adjusting the magic circle … After everything was ready, the processed wooden piles were controlled by the magic circle and inserted into the water. Under the hard work of the engineering company, a large ten-meter-wide bridge was gradually built across the Bordeaux River …
Within a day, a regular camp area of more than one square kilometer was built on the empty land next to Lannis Town. The tents were lined up vertically and precisely as if they were measured with a caliper. After the sun began to set, the other soldiers returned to their tents to rest and reorganize after leaving the patrolling team to supervise and control. In the huge military camp, there was no noise at all. Even when talking in the tents, the soldiers followed the rules and lowered their voices.
The engineering company and the two sorcerers did not rest at all. Brador, who was helping to control the magic circle, worked until dark and did not feel tired. That was because he was still in the excitement of being airdropped.
After all, not everyone could cross the entire kingdom in a day. He took a truck from Elsen to Domic Castle, then took a plane directly across the mountains to reach Lannis Town. All of this was like a dream to him. Although he was only a researcher, he knew very well that with a few hundred of such planes, it meant that the soldiers of Elsen City could descend on any part of the kingdom at any time!
Other than that, the Orcs, the revenants and even the countries behind the eastern mountains would be within the attack range in the future.
"Ten at the back! Cut in from the right side! "
"Roger!"
Hearing the order from the front, Brador raised his hand to cast a spell, placing the large piles of wood at the side on the "gripper" of the magic circle. This "gripper" was the hand that controlled the heavy magic circle. Its existence allowed the ordinary engineering company soldiers to carry heavy objects of more than two tons like the "Magician's Hand". Moreover, the energy consumption was low and the control distance was long.
Just as Brador was about to pick up the next log, his spell-casting suddenly stopped. Then, he raised his hand and cast an "Illumination" spell towards the sky!
"Who's there?!"
Because it was dark, the construction site had an illumination circle, but there were always blind spots around. Brador's illumination spell was extremely bright, and everything near the river bank could be seen at a glance. The originally busy engineering soldiers stopped what they were doing on the spot, and the heavily armed infantrymen who were helping to guard the perimeter rushed over. The patrolling cavalry was also ready to charge with their charged lances.
But under the light, they did not see any suspicious targets.
Brador's eyes widened as he looked forward. His wand was pointing at the river bank on the opposite bank. At this time, under the light, there was no one in sight. Next to him, an infantryman with a shield ran in front of him and then asked, "Where is the enemy?"
"Could it be that I'm mistaken?"
Another mage, Gray, came over. He had already cast the detection spell and confirmed that there was no human in that direction.
"No … I really saw a figure standing there, but —" Brador looked at a small sapling standing alone not far away, and finally said, "I hope I saw wrong."
*****
May 16th, Elsen City.
It had been a week since the start of the war, and the sand table in front of Roddy had been modified countless times. Now, the map of the area controlled by the Cullen royal family had been reduced by three-fifths, and the main force had extended all the way from the Holy Temple to the north bank of the Bordeaux River 200 kilometers away.
At the same time, the city of Rayena and the city of Beichelis on the south bank of the Bordeaux River had also raised Eiffta's flag, sandwiching the retreating main force such as Viscount Borragon in the middle.
"You really know how to fight. I didn't know that the war in the human world was so interesting! I used to think that the infantrymen and knights were as clumsy as turtles, but with airplanes and mechanized troops, it seems that the way of war has changed. "
The one who spoke was Kardashian. She was actually praising herself. After all, she was the pillar of the aircraft research and development department. This time, with the addition of transport planes, those tactics that only existed in the plan were easily realized. It could be said that a small part of the credit belonged to her.
"To be able to hold the advantage is the real victory. What I'm most worried about is that the other party will desperately fight back."
After saying that, Roddy still opened his arms and hugged the female dragon, who had an expression of "come and praise me" on her face. "Okay, okay, I know you're the best. Don't you feel embarrassed to be praised like this every day? "
Kardashian did not care about this. She turned her head and kissed Roddy. "Hehe, anyway, I'm full of a sense of achievement!"
Conquering half a country in a week, this kind of war that was recorded in the history books had her credit. It was normal for Kardashian to have this kind of vanity. After all, she had been in Elsen for a long time, hanging out with Roddy all day, and her way of thinking had changed.
