In the Dark World, at the eastern entrance of the Rocher Canyon, Michael Wood was holding a magical instrument that looked like a telescope and peering into the depths of the canyon.
At this time, the land behind him had completely turned into a construction site. The sizzling sound of welding and the roar of mechanical hammers continued.
The workers of the Wildenstein Military Construction Contract Company had laid a sizable foundation here and then installed the modular components that they had transported one after another. A temporary military stronghold had already begun to take shape.
On both sides of this fortress, there were three trenches reinforced with steel bars and military cement, as well as a large number of tanks and artillery bunkers. The 29th Armored Regiment from the Wildenstein Foundation, six armored regiments, two mechanized infantry brigades, four engineering battalions, and three mercenary groups directly under Xuri Construction had a total of more than 68,000 people, more than 900 light and heavy tanks, 400 armored vehicles, 220 magic armors of various types, and more than 1,400 self-propelled artillery and towed artillery distributed on this front line.
At this moment, there was still a large number of mages accompanying the army. Under the command of Douglas Duncan and Professor Alex Galanz, they were rapidly setting up magic arrays on this battlefront. The latter's main purpose was to reinforce the fortifications and suppress the demigod powerhouses. Only by pulling the demigods down from the altar could human weapons and troops be effective against them.
Behind those trenches, there were dozens of magical lighthouses that had been built, emanating a radiance as bright as the sun in this world, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of kilometers in every possible way.
Their main opponents were vampires and the undead. The vampires were fast and good at hiding in the dark, while the undead were exceptionally powerful in the dark.
Therefore, these magic lighthouses were also the key to the success or failure of this war. Xuri Construction had invested 1.2 billion in this aspect. They had built a total of 120 magic lighthouses within 900 kilometers between the Rocher Canyon and the Holy Stone Fortress to ensure the safety of their logistics route.
In addition, Xuri Construction had not stopped the pace of army expansion. Their third reinforced mechanized infantry brigade was being formed.
The designated commander of this mechanized infantry brigade, Lieutenant General Rodsell of the National Guard, was going through the resignation procedures and would take up his post in at most seven days. According to the battle plan, this newly established brigade would not enter the battle immediately. Their future mission was to ensure the safety of the logistics line, and they could not completely rely on mercenaries like they did now.
"The information is true. They are indeed building a fortress. If we had come a week later, the situation here would have become irreparable. "
The artifact in Michael Wood's hand had a powerful illusion breaking effect. Although they couldn't see the true appearance of the 'fortress', they were still able to see it. However, he was able to deduce the truth just by looking at some clues in the vicinity.
For example, the movement of Mana in the surroundings, the amplitude of tremors in the surrounding ground, the subsidence of the groundwater, and so on.
Not only was there a fortress being built in the Rochelle Gorge, but it was also very large, with a diameter of more than 15 kilometers.
They were glad that the construction ability of the Dark Devil Empire had always been mediocre. Although the Bloodwing Grand Duchy was the most modernized state in the empire, their construction ability was still at the level of the humans before the First World War.
"That might not be the case. The boss has already approved the purchase budget for the 'Holy Spirit Destroyer' in advance. If this fortress is really built, he wouldn't mind spending another five billion gold duns to buy a 'Gate of Freedom'. Given the level of the Bloodwing Grand Duchy's fortifications, we only need three cannons to blow up their fortress. Of course, saving money for our employer is also one of our obligations, "Brigadier General Noah Badru said calmly.
"What I'm more worried about now is that the Bloodwing Grand Duchy might launch an attack on us in the next two days. After all, they have four demigods."
"That's exactly what I'm looking for. Isn't forcing them out of the Rochelle Gorge our goal, Noah?"
Michael Wood chuckled. "If it's a conventional ground war, we won't be afraid of their so-called two million troops. After all, it's not 200 years ago anymore. As for those Legends and demigods, we'll have to see if they have the guts. "
200 years ago, humans could only fight with their lives in the face of such a war. In modern times, when the fighting will and tactical level of both sides were similar, the density of firepower per unit of time and industrial capacity were the key to determining the outcome.
However, Michael Wood also understood his partner's meaning. "Order the entire army to be on guard in the next three days. The entire army must maintain a state of readiness for battle. Ask the engineering unit to speed up the construction of the fortifications. Also, ask Mr. Uhtred Demacia to come to the front as soon as possible if he is able to participate in the battle. If Mr. Demacia still needs time, ask Mr. Victor Maxim to come. I'm guessing that the situation in Atlanta is still stable. "
Michael knew that his boss had a busy schedule and might not be able to take care of this place for the time being. However, he was also fearless. Even if the current Xuri Construction did not care about Li Mochen's godly right of life and death, they would not be afraid of the demigod war that might break out in the Rochelle Gorge.
However, Noah Badru was right. They still had to guard against what they had to guard against.
It was also at this moment that Michael Wood heard a few thunderous roars.
His rich battle experience caused his expression to change slightly. He roared at the construction site behind him with a hoarse voice.
"Spread out! All of you, spread out — "
Many of the workers who were busy with the construction were also experienced. Before Michael Wood could give the order, they had spontaneously spread out to the sides or looked for cover nearby.
However, just ten seconds later, more than twenty huge shells and many long-range missiles flew like a swarm of bees. Their speed was also more than Mach 70.
Although the nearby anti-aircraft artillery system had opened fire in time, and the six magic towers in the sky also ejected dense "wind blades" to intercept at this moment, there were still more than ten giant shells bombarding the fortress construction site.
Huge flames soared into the sky, and the shattered shrapnel and shockwaves almost razed everything in the surroundings.
In the distance, Michael Wood and Noah Badru, whose faces were pale, looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with solemnity.
"You and the boss are right, Wood. There is no harm in preparing one more set of spare parts for the fortress — "
Noah Badru frowned, "But it is still very troublesome. They actually have Longsong Cannons and ballistic missiles with a range of more than 1,500 kilometers."
Michael Wood used the military walkie-talkie carried by his assistant to connect to Clark Banfield, "Banfield, do you understand the situation at the front line?"
"Yes."
Banfield answered crisply, "Alisa has just changed her itinerary. I will also contact the FBI's Arms Control Department and relevant departments as soon as possible to investigate the source of the weapons. Their steps have been messed up. How dare they sell such weapons to the Black Devil Empire — "
