In the blink of an eye, Dean had been on the God of War's wall for three days. On the morning of the fourth day, Fitter suddenly gathered everyone and told them that there was a mission from the frontline.
Dean and the others had only one hour to prepare. They had to arrive at the frontline by noon.
"Little Dean, how's your artillery practice?" Deputy platoon leader Hunter found Dudian. Dudian was bearded and looked to be in his forties. There were two cross scars on his thick and hairy arms.
"I've completely mastered it." Dean replied.
Hunter shook his head and smiled. "I wanted to find an excuse for you to rest. But since you have mastered it, go and prepare. This is your first battle and you will be on the front line. Follow the others and retreat. Be smart. Also, don't worry about the artillery. Your life is the most important!"
Dean nodded: "Thank you, deputy platoon leader!"
He found that the people he met this time were pretty good.
Less than half an hour later, everyone gathered at the small area in the tents. Fitte and Hunter took the lead and left the tents, heading in the direction of the outside of the Battlegod Wall. They walked along the wide path in the center of the tents, and when they reached the end, the scenery outside the Battlegod Wall appeared before their eyes. However, it wasn't the mountains and rivers they had imagined. Instead, it was a land filled with holes.
Dean looked into the distance but didn't see the fortress wall on the east side of the God of War's wall. It seemed that the enemies on each side of the God of War's wall were different. That was probably the reason why there weren't so many high-end technologies and spaceships on the east side of the God of War's wall.
"Artillery regiment, third company, ninth platoon reporting for duty!" Fitter shouted.
A young man in military uniform with a gold star on his shoulder looked at them and ordered the short-haired female assistant: "Register them on the airship."
"Yes." The short-haired woman nodded and came to Fitter for registration.
Under the leadership of Fitter, everyone boarded the airship next to them. Each airship carried five people. There were six people including the pilots. While Dean and others were still queuing up to register, Fitte and the other four had already boarded the airship and left. Soon the second airship followed. In the blink of an eye, it was Dean's turn. He stood together with Guli and boarded the same airship.
The airships formed a line and flew out of the Battlegod Wall. Clouds and mist lingered in the air. When one's vision passed through the devastated land, they could faintly see a stretch of darkness at the end of the horizon.
This touch of darkness made everyone feel depressed. No one spoke on the airship. Even Guli who was a bit talkative was silent. He only said a few words to Dean and then remained silent.
Half an hour later, the airship slowly landed.
Dean silently estimated the distance and the speed of the airship. He found that the battlefield was at least two hundred miles away from the God of War's wall. Although this distance was nothing to him but it wasn't close on land. It could be seen that the war in the south wasn't limited to the God of War's wall but outside the wall. It showed that the empire's defense in the south was in a state of suppression.
Guli sighed as the airship slowly landed. "I hope everyone can survive this time." They were thinking about whether they would die or not.
"We will see the trolls soon." Dean was looking forward to it.
The airship landed in a trench. The ground was full of trenches and there were anti-aircraft turrets. There was a fifty meters high stone wall in front of them. There were many monsters flashing outside the stone wall but it was difficult to get close to them due to the heavy firepower bombardment.
They got off the airship.
Fett was already waiting in front of a trench. The people who got off the airship were lined up. Dean, Guli and others quickly rushed over and stood at the back of the line. Fett waited for a moment as the last group of people arrived from the airship. He said in a loud voice: "I got the news that the trolls will attack in an hour. They are just the vanguard sent by the trolls. They are pretending to attack to test our defenses. In the next hour everyone must adjust their state and stick to their posts. No one is allowed to leave without the order to retreat. Otherwise you will be punished according to the military rules!"
"Yes!" Everyone roared in unison.
Fett nodded and let Hunter lead the people to their respective posts. Cannons had already been set up next to the trench. There were huge steel wheels under the bases of these cannons that could be pushed, but at this moment, the wheels had already been erected, and there was a support below, firmly fixed to the ground.
Two people took turns to control a cannon.
Dean and a familiar person were assigned to a cannon. The person seemed to know that Dean didn't know him. He stood on the base of the cannon and smiled: "Hello, Lionel. My name is Delia."
"Hello." Dean nodded: "Please take care of me."
"Don't say that. I'm also a rookie." Delia smiled and looked at the stone wall in front of him. There was a worried look on his face: "These monsters were able to break through the frontline defense and attack our artillery battalion. It seems that the trolls' invasion isn't small."
Dean was surprised: "Isn't this the frontline position?"
"Of course not. Our artillery battalion is in the middle and back of the battlefield. There is the army fortress in front of us. These monsters must have bypassed the army fortress and sneaked over here. Otherwise, the army fortress is in a dangerous situation." Delia frowned.
Dean was puzzled as he couldn't figure out how the battlefield was divided. But he had a faint guess. Perhaps the army had a special retreat route. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be so far away from the artillery battalion. Otherwise, the artillery battalion could only watch helplessly as the army and the monsters fought against each other. They wouldn't be able to attack.
"Trolls …" Dean looked in front of him. In addition to the occasional monster that was jumping high, he couldn't see anything. The line of sight on the ground slowly became blurred.
An hour passed quickly. Suddenly, an angry roar came from the front of the stone wall, like a sudden clap of thunder. Everyone was startled, and all the pores on their bodies shrank, instantly entering a tense battle state. Looking through the observation mirror on the cannon, they saw a few exuberant red dots appear behind the stone wall. As these red dots slowly approached, more and more red dots appeared, densely packed, and in just a few breaths, they occupied the entire observation mirror!
