Sky Dragon Rider

Near the scene of a tragic assassination, in a clothing store at the end of the street, the owner of the tailor who also poked his head outside, muttered as if talking to himself: "It failed!" Withdrew his head.

As the golden dragon soared into the sky again, the next arrangement completely lost its effect.

Like many shy shopkeepers, the clothing store owner put up a sign that he was closed and then closed the shop.

As the store door closed, the light in the store dimmed immediately, and there was a rush of heavy footsteps outside, heading straight for the scene of the incident.

"Boss, why is the door closed?"

The only clerk in the shop shuffled to his feet from under the hanger.

Just now, the earth-shattering loud noise and strong wind outside, as well as the ensuing sound of fighting frightened him, but thinking that the store is safer than the outside, so he did not flee out of the store in panic, but hid in the In the pile of hangers.

"Ah! ~ Shanxin, come here!"

The shopkeeper beckoned to the only guy in the shop.

"What's the matter? Boss?"

The guy walked over while talking.

"There will be a lot of chaos outside these few days, here, you take the wages first, rest at home, and then come over."

The shopkeeper took out a money bag and shook it in his hand. The fear in the clerk's heart disappeared immediately, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand to pick it up, but before his fingertips touched the money bag, he suddenly froze.

There was a heart-piercing pain in his chest.

"Boss, you, you..."

The guy lowered his head in disbelief, and a dagger with a black beech handle pierced his chest at some point.

To the end of my life, I couldn't figure it out, why did my boss, who was always kind, suddenly attack me so cruelly?

The smile on the owner's face still hasn't faded, and he is still saying: "Well, take a good rest, take a rest!"

.......

military.

In the lobby turned into a meeting room.The Li family sisters sat down at a long dining table with the senior military officials who had arrived one after another.

The Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Adelaide, the Duke of Ocassie of the Empire, said with a gloomy face before taking his seat: "Just a quarter of an hour ago, a vicious sabotage incident and a very serious assassination incident just occurred in the imperial capital."

As soon as this statement came out, most of the high-level military officials present turned their attention to the black-haired and black-eyed twin sisters. Many people were well-informed and received the news that the twin sisters had been assassinated on the way to the military headquarters.

However, when they saw the golden dragon outside the gate of the military headquarters, they knew that the assassination was probably unsuccessful.

There are still a small number of people who are slow to hear the news and have not reacted. They are vacillating between their immediate boss Adelaide and the twin sisters in surprise. Could it be that these two incidents are related to them?

From Ammunition Workshop.The loud noise and mushroom cloud that spread throughout Changguan City could not be concealed at all.

The ammunition workshop in Changguan City is a special place. It is the only workshop within more than a hundred meters around, but the strange thing is that only raw materials go in, but no finished products come out.

Due to the lack of technology and industrial equipment for large-scale production of synthetic ammonia, the preparation of nitro gunpowder has always relied on the purification of natural minerals and simple chemical reactions, which cannot supply the consumption of an empire at all.So until now, the major customers of the ammunition shop are still Lin Mo and the future "Thang Long" fleet, which cannot be supplied on a large scale to the front line where the war is raging.

Although modern firearms are powerful, the pressure on logistics and reserves far exceeds that of the past.Whether it is a special conical bomb, a standard aerial bomb or a 12.7 mm caliber bullet used by the "Thang Long" airborne machine gun, it will be taken away by Lin Mo's silver dragon egg talent space not long after leaving the production line and entering the temporary warehouse.It was quietly transferred to the "guillotine" base in the northern border of the empire for storage.

Through high-level earth-type spells, more than a dozen spaces have been successfully carved out in the mountainous body, which are used as ammunition depots and material storage depots.

Once a brand-new air cavalry unit composed of one hundred "Thang Long" propeller fighter jets is completed and put into combat, the consumption of ammunition will definitely be frighteningly high.Therefore, the current output of the ammunition workshop is entirely for ammunition reserves in advance for a rainy day.

"This is a premeditated assassination and sabotage. His Majesty the Emperor has sent the royal secret guards to investigate this matter. I remind everyone here to be careful whether you are traveling or at home."

The words of the Minister of Military and Political Affairs carried a creepy meaning, which made most people's faces look uneasy.

It is easy to dodge an open gun, but hard to defend against a hidden arrow. No one wants his life to be worried about by some deadly assassins.

Many people have already made up their minds. After the meeting is over, they must be escorted home by the imperial guards, and the security at home will be strengthened immediately to prevent the assassins from taking advantage of it.

Adelaide swept his eyes, as if he had guessed what everyone was thinking, and said: "Everyone, please rest assured that from today onwards, the military headquarters, the royal family's headquarters, and the areas where you live will enter a state of martial law, and you will have at least one team when you travel. Soldiers will escort them, as long as you are careful, there will be no danger."

The imperial officials and their families who moved from Delan City basically live in the same area, and it is easier to enforce martial law, while the Li family sisters live farther away because of the special relationship of dragoon magic industry. There are still secret sentries of the imperial guards stationed there, so they can react quickly when there is an assassination.

Hearing the arrangement of the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, many people breathed a sigh of relief and settled down.

"Now back to the topic, the important content of this emergency meeting has just received urgent military information from the Eastern, Southern and Western Fronts, the Portlanders, the Lahns, the Anstruthers, the rebels and the Tesi people They are gathering in the southern part of the empire, Xin! Bing! The two of you will show you the deduction map."

After stabilizing the army, Lord Adelaide officially introduced the theme of the meeting. He was very grateful that the empire was able to obtain a remote communication artifact such as a satellite phone. , so that the military can obtain valuable military information in the first time.

With the help of printing, the large-format maps and deduction props used by the military are not much different from those used by the Li family sisters in the deduction hall at home.

On the spread out thick paper map, there are pieces of enemy and friend distributed like war chess, as well as large and small arrows representing the direction of the main force and side forces, the stalemate front, the focus city, etc. The current battle situation is displayed at a glance.

It is precisely because of this simple and practical prop, coupled with efficient and reliable means of long-distance communication, that the Islamic Empire can barely maintain its position, even if it loses.

"The rebels on the western front were divided into 15 troops, the Texi people sent 20 troops, the Portlanders on the eastern front sent 20 troops, the Lahn people sent 50 troops, and the southern rebels sent 120 troops. The main force of Anstruther was 50. [-] million, the southern part of the Chen Bing Empire, intends to advance from south to north, and wipe out all our military forces in Sri Lanka. At present, the Central Military Region is facing [-] Chen Bing and the Southern Military Region rebels and the Anstruther main force."

As a staff officer who analyzes the strategic level, Li Muxin briefly introduced the latest battle situation between the enemy and ourselves.

At the dining table used as a map deduction, the faces of all the senior military officials became serious.

Although these 120 million are not all combat soldiers, including logistical non-combatants such as luggage, this number is still astonishing.

With 50 on the southern front against the 120 million of the Allied Forces, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Muslims are clearly at a disadvantage. If you are not careful, you may not even turn up a wave, and you will be swallowed up by the belt bone Two clean.

"Tell us about our reinforcements?"

A sentence suddenly inserted by the Minister of Military and Political Affairs gave the senior officials of the military department a shot in the arm.

"Our reinforcements mainly come from four areas, the Adrihiger Empire, Ibiza's cavalry troops, part of the Eastern Legion and the Southern Legion that have drawn a line from the rebels, and the 50 empires that are being reorganized and trained. Recruits..."

Li Muxin easily followed the intention of Minister of Military and Political Affairs Adelaide, leading the content of the meeting into the link of military situation analysis.

In response to the changes of the rebels and enemy countries, the Islamic Empire headquarters must respond in a timely manner and carry out the next step of strategic deployment.

A few days later, the southern part of the Islamic Empire.

A convoy full of cargo boxes broke away from the main road and marched hard through the woods. Although the forest is narrow and difficult to pass through, the people and horses in the convoy have been walking in this forest for more than two hours.

"Four hundred steps ahead to the left, we're almost there!"

A nimble and agile figure leaped like flying among the trees, and landed in front of the convoy in an instant.

"Pass it backwards, add more strength, and you can rest when you arrive!"

Although the men and horses in the convoy were sweating profusely and working very hard, they still gritted their teeth while spreading the word, while pushing aside the bushes and branches blocking the way.

Although it is easy to cut off branches, leaves and vines with a machete, it will greatly increase the difficulty of sweeping the rear of the convoy. When encountering impassable places, it is still necessary to detour or forcefully lift the vehicle over.

Obviously, such a big effort means the team doesn't want people to know where they are going.

Half an hour later, the convoy finally saw a clearing in the forest.

In the middle of the clearing was a nearly two-meter-long three-edged thorn with a silver surface as smooth as a mirror. It was clearly not a thorn that grew naturally in the woods, but someone had deliberately inserted it here long ago.

"Here it is! Let's rest first."

The team leader waved to the people behind him.

The coachmen quickly took out the wooden barrels, poured water and a small amount of ale into them, and placed them in front of the pack horses that were foaming at the mouth. The already hungry and thirsty horses immediately buried their heads in the barrels.

The leader of the convoy walked towards the long thorn alone, took out a ring from his pocket, and approached the long thorn cautiously.
