Alien Paradise.

Chapter 193 Siege
Both of them knew a piece of information: there was something weird hidden deep in the mine, and Gaotian Mining Company had been trying to dig it out.

"Could this be part of the cult's plan?" Elodie pondered, "The infection effect of that thing is exaggerated, but the range of action is less than tens of meters. And most of the members of the Brotherhood of Miners are close contacts However, even Lovisia has persisted for so long, in a sense it is not as terrible as the Black Death."

Chaoyang turned to look at Resk, "Since you can feel the influence of evil gods on the world, have you ever been underground in the Huiqiu Mine?"

"Underground? Are you talking about those mines that go hundreds of meters deep into the ground?" The other party shook his head, "There are indeed many dead people there, but overall there is nothing unusual, and I have not set foot further." He paused for a moment, It seems to see Chaoyang's worry, "Is there something strange underground?"

"That's a long story." Chaoyang directly connected with Lovisia's consciousness, "It's me, do you know any secret passages that can enter the special mining area that was blocked by Gaotian Company?"

"Mr. Chao! You can talk to me directly?" Lovisia looked quite surprised.

He has never used this ability before, just to reduce the strangeness of Lovisia's new body, but now that the situation is urgent, he can't care so much, "Anyone who has signed a contract with the Lord of Paradise can communicate with each other. Induction, your body is more special, you can talk to me directly. Otherwise, I can't convey the dormancy information to you in advance."

"So that's how it is." Lovisia also adapted quickly, and she replied directly without asking why, "There are secret passages like this, but you need to jump through several abandoned mines. Just say it for sure." I don’t know, let me follow along.”

"Where are you now? No... I already know." Chaoyang saw the familiar Yeni Temple through the other party's vision, "I will let Mr. Xue take you to the suburbs to meet Zhang Qiang and others. They should now Already headed to Ashhill Mine."

"No problem." Lovisya responded readily.

"By the way, don't let Hai Qi follow you. Your body can be changed, but she is different."

"I wouldn't let her go to such a dangerous place if you didn't mention it. But I really didn't misunderstand you, Mr. Chao, you are indeed a gentle person."

After Chaoyang cut off contact, he said to the other two, "Let's go there too. Let's talk about the secrets in the mine as we drive."

……

On the northeast outskirts of Splendid Fort, outside the Gray Hill Mine.

The troops of the city guards were arriving at the outskirts of the mine one after another, and the blue light of hundreds of spiritual lamps was like moving stars, opening up a long and narrow passage for this quiet foggy area.

After a night of rest, the morale of the remaining troops recovered a lot. Although it was still not as good as usual, it was still competent to encircle and suppress a mining company.Especially after hearing that many aristocrats and wealthy businessmen colluded with cults hid in, the enthusiasm of the soldiers increased significantly.

Since Sandella's injury has not yet recovered, the commander of this attack fell on Woody. This is also the first time he has commanded nearly a thousand people to fight, and he is very excited.

"Report, my lord, the scouts found that the railroad track in front was blown off, and there is no possibility of repairing it in a short time!" At this time, a light rider came to him and said after saluting.

"Blown off?" Woody raised his eyebrows and looked forward, his eyes were still gray.Neither the mine nor the rails can be seen within this distance. "How far is the fracture from the gate of the mine?"

"Less than 100 meters!"

This means that the cultists have knocked down the railroad practically on their doorstep.

Probably because he didn't want the city guards to enter the mine so easily... He thought to himself, but this distance is too short, and the artillery can easily cover the entire mine area. here.If it had been him, he would have started sabotaging the railway at least 1000 meters away.

This can also show that the enemy is a little panicked.

"Notify the train to slow down and stop at the break." Woody quickly ordered, "Let the artillery crew prepare to load and unload the artillery on the spot."

"Yes."

A total of four six-inch naval guns were loaded on the conscripted trains. Although they could follow the army to fight after being equipped with wheels and hoeing devices, they were still quite troublesome to arrange.If the shooting position is determined in advance, this process can be effectively shortened.

Following the orderly execution of the order, the City Guard quickly established an offensive line outside the Huiqiu Mine.When the train arrived, the huge moonstone on the front immediately became the best searchlight, not only illuminating the army itself, but also outlining the outline of the mine 200 meters away.

At this moment, more than [-] people gathered are not too many, but they can definitely be regarded as a large army in the Brilliant Fort, and with the artillery pressing down on the formation, even the black steel security guards cannot compete with it head-on.

What surprised Woody was that he saw that the gate of the mine was closed, and no one came to inquire about the situation.The mine is also quite quiet, as if it has completely stopped working.

The scouting cavalry had brought him news before, saying that five landing boats and many new footprints were indeed found on the southwest coast. This shows that the information provided by the paradise is not wrong, and some cultists have indeed moved from the south coast to the Ash Hill Mine. field area.As for where the Lady of Joy went, and whether the aristocratic and wealthy businessmen who were guests disembarked, it is currently unknown.

Woody claimed that these rich people fled into the mine, in essence, to boost the morale of the team, but he also had something he couldn't figure out. There were at least two or three hundred guards in the mine, and there were thousands of miners working there. , why would they have no reaction to the presence of cultists?
It's impossible that they are all believers in Karmaism, right?
"Go and shout someone, see if you can make them surrender directly." Woody ordered according to the procedure in the military drill.

After taking the lead, a light cavalry quickly rushed to the main entrance of the mine holding the banner of the City Guards.

Just when he was about 30 meters away from the gate, several gunshots suddenly broke the tranquility of the countryside.I saw the cavalryman shaking twice and then fell off his horse, and there was no more movement.

"No reason!"

Woody was furious.The envoys of the two warring parties have the right of immunity. Even if they do not accept the surrender, there is absolutely no need to kill the envoys.

"Send me an order to let the artillery team open the gate immediately! The forward team is going to occupy the mine wall and destroy all movable targets. The city guards will not accept surrender in this battle!"

After the order was issued, the six-inch naval guns began to roar in turn, and the dull shelling was like thunder rolling through the foggy land.

The walls of the Huiqiu Mine are basically made of red bricks, which are good enough to prevent the miners from escaping. Facing the bombardment of artillery, it is no different from tofu. It was blown up and down in less than 5 minutes, with gaps everywhere.The iron gates were also pierced by shells, and one of them even flew into the air.

Seeing the collapse of the enemy's "fortifications", the forward line of the City Guards also launched a charge in real time. The 200 people were divided into four groups, rushed to the mine from four directions, and successfully climbed over the shattered wall.

At this time, Woody also received a new report.

The "Paradise Warriors" who originally followed the city guards disappeared.

"What does it mean that it's gone?" He cursed these people for having no sense of organization and discipline, and asked, "Where are the four-wheeled wonders they were driving?"

"It's still in place, but the person is gone." The subordinate said truthfully.

"It's a good thing that Lord Sandra trusts them so much." Woody decided to record this matter well, and then report to the commander-in-chief. "Don't worry about them. To put it bluntly, these people are also mercenaries and opportunists. It's normal not to count on them at critical times. We can win this battle by ourselves!"
