Scales of Eternal Order

“War is deception.”

Curl one’s lip and said to his brother one-eyed.

Standing on the head of the city, one-eyed took out a small binocular from the bag around his waist. This was one of the harvests of his former sand bandit career. The yellow copper mirror body makes the telescope almost indestructible, and the clever design makes it foldable.

He opened the binoculars and carefully observed the fellows outside the city who could be regarded as peers or juniors.

Counting from the fall of last night, every one or two hourglasses, the invading enemies will launch a fierce shelling on the city of Spat in their eyes, and then let the artillery The barrel cools by itself, waiting for the next launch.

However, because of the Illusion Technique array arranged in advance, the city in the eyes of the Sand Bandits League is far from its true location.

Most of the artillery shells that flew over last night actually hit the open space next to the city. Only a few “off-target” ammunition hit the wall of the city of Spat accidentally. The loss caused by it is nothing more than some debris.

But as the eternal blazing sun slowly rises from the horizon, the effectiveness of the Illusion Technique array, which can only work at night, gradually diminishes, and at most there is half an hourglass time, this city’s ” “True content” will be exposed in the opponent’s eyes.

Through the raised lens, Cyclops uses his only remaining eyes to carefully watch the army outside the city-the bow, the javelin, the scimitar and the shield are shining in the low-angle sunlight.

Apart from this In his eyes, a group of front-drive cavalry swiftly passed through the camp, raising smoke and dust. This sight seemed to remind him of some experiences when he was a sand bandit. He seemed to be able to hear the chain armor clinking like ripples.

In the rear of the camp, there is a long line of luggage, but it lacks effective management.

A large group of mules, six groups of war horses and various camel beasts were rashly tied to wooden stakes temporarily inserted into the sand, and the various military supplies they carried did not even have time to completely unload.

If this team is Medici’s regular army, in addition to the soldiers fighting on the front line, there will be a larger number of corresponding personnel in the rear — auxiliary soldiers, cooks, armorers, carpenters, These people will take care of everything neatly.

But for a team composed entirely of sand bandits, besides dare to work hard, what else can you ask for?

“Those guys are just a bunch of mobs,” Crooked Mouth stretched out. The sound of shelling last night still affected his sleep quality. He patted the solid wall on the city wall and pressed him tightly. Holding the weapon in their hands tightly, the soldiers who looked a little nervous preached: “It is only with a little more manpower that they dare to gather around the city…impudent, that’s right.”

“Sir, they brought artillery, and…”

A soldier who was seventeen-eighteen years old from his face, said timidly, but was immediately interrupted by a crooked mouth.

“…Hey, soldier, you must have never fought a war, you have never seen a real big scene,” an index finger deep in his mouth swayed in front of the young soldier, “that’s just A group of sand bandits is not an army at all. Did you see that they had a high-side ship full of supplies? Did you see that they had a heavy camel team spreading several Palesan’s length? Those artillery every time they hit One shot, they would lose one shell and one shot. Yesterday has been fighting all night, today they will certainly not have enough ammunition. Otherwise, the pharaoh should be led by the bandit, because they The equipment is even better than that of Medici’s most elite troops.”

I have to admit that it sounds reasonable.

In addition to his playful tone, everyone’s anxiety was relieved for a while.

In addition to holding a brass telescope, he was counting and so on attentively, “Three cars, six cars…twelve cars,” he silently plot against in the heart, “Sand bandits When did I become so wealthy, I fired artillery all night and fired more than a hundred shells, but there is still a small half of the inventory that has not been finished? Huh, 80% is the handwriting of the Great Vishur.”

At the same time, some of the sand bandits outside the city were staring at Spat City and frowned.

I looked at the direction of the artillery muzzle, and then at the location of the city under the eternal blazing sun. The wind-sniffer, the leader of the sand bandit, thought for a while, and then realized, “Damn blind eye, The shelling last night did not hit the right place at all.”

His heart began to become anxious. Most of the ammunition has been consumed last night. If the shelling frequency is the same, the remaining artillery charge this morning will be completely consumed.

When the time comes, even if he gave up the use of iron-cored shells, regardless of the risk of blasting, people would just find some stones to polish and stuff them into the barrel to serve as shells. There was no precise matching Artillery powder, those artillery pieces will also become a bunch of useless metal bumps.

Nothing can be launched.

In order to hear the command of the wind commander, at that time he had to let these sand bandits personally go into battle and attack the city wall of Spat City.

Sitting out of the city requires not only human sacrifice, but also the enthusiasm and expectation for the siege, as well as the close encounter with Willpower, who has been trampled on and filled the gully corpse. Although these can be deceived with money, there is also a time limit.

Especially after yesterday’s rapid march and the shelling that stayed up all night, the leader of the sand bandit knew very well that these people under his men must be very tired now, and they are almost overdrawn.

No matter how much refreshing tobacco he chewed, even Medici’s most elite Guard Legion would not be able to handle the fatigue. He didn’t think that these dross without any honor could be overcome by his own will.

Being forced to the extreme, it is hard to guarantee that these guys will not mutiny on the spot.

He’s not worried about his own life—it’s a squad of elite wind-sniffers who have infiltrated the Sand Bandits Alliance. In the worst case, they are confident that they will be able to clump together and stand out. Is worried about completing the entrustment of Wenfeng command.

Instead of that, it’s better to take advantage of the gang’s energy and let them attack the city wall first, give the opposing defender a certain amount of pressure, and then drastically reduce the frequency of shelling, so that the artillery will delay the defender. One or two days.

Through the previously collected information, Sandrhino Caravan, a subsidiary of the Eternal Order Scales Chamber of Commerce, will go back and forth between Nome and Spat for regular trade and transportation.

When the time comes, release this group of trained sand bandits to sack the caravan, which can not only fill in some supplies, but also satisfy the desire for destruction of these scum bandits, and at the same time cause certain pressure. Kill three birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand to signal to the signal soldier, “When burying the pot for cooking and resting the two hourglasses, let the carpenters hurry up and put together a piece of time that can be erected to the city. Siege Ladder at the head.”
