Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

When night fell

, the lights were still on in the room of Colt City, the city lord's mansion, and the laughter of women was constantly heard.

The two guards came in a panic and came to the door of the city lord's room, one guard was about to knock on the door, and the other couldn't wait to rush in.

The room was filled with a strong strange scent, and the lord of Colt City was having fun with several women in bed.

The door was suddenly slammed open, and he was so frightened that he wilted on the spot.

Seeing that it was his own guard, he was angry and directly picked up the candlestick on the table and threw it at one of the guards, but I don't know if it was just wilted and a little weak, but just threw it under the bed.

Just as he was about to scold angrily, the guard's words directly made him stunned on the spot:

"Oh no, Your Highness, there is an enemy attacking the city, and the city has been broken!"

After listening to the guard's words, the city lord of Colt City didn't react for a while, he was stunned for a moment, and then.... I was just stunned for a moment.

There was no overreaction, just touched his head and said,

"Oh... I know..."

The two guards were also stunned by the city lord's bland reaction, so one of the guards added

, "Now they are rushing towards

the city lord's mansion! Your Highness!" The women around the city lord all panicked, and their expressions of horror appeared.

"Wait a minute... Let me think... Let me think...."

The lord of Colt City propped his head in one hand and waved his other hand towards the guards, closing his eyes in thought.

Then he opened his eyes again, clutched his neck and looked around, looking at the frightened women, but his expression was bewildered.

The city lord's reaction left the two guards confused, and then the city lord turned his head to look at the guards and asked

, "You mean, the enemy has breached the city?"

"Yes, Your Highness... What are we going to do?"

"Has the enemy breached the city?"

muttered to the Lord of Colt, looking at the ceiling and thinking again, and suddenly he was stunned again, and then jumped up violently, and shouted in horror:

"What! He

had just jumped up, but he stomped into the air and fell to the ground.

"Your Highness!" "Your Highness,

be careful!" The

two guards looked at the city lord, who didn't know if it was because of overindulgence, which caused his brain to be bad, and patted his head helplessly.

The reflex arc was long enough for his women to jump together as a jump rope.

The Colt city lord got up again with the support of the women, looked at the guards with a look of disbelief and asked

, "What did you just say? How could

the enemy enter the city? How is this possible? The enemy has come in? What? The enemy has come in? Ah? Which enemy? What enemy?" Looking at the suddenly crazy city lord, one of the guards directly collapsed on the spot, closed his eyes with a helpless face, and the other guard hurriedly explained:

"The guards at the city gate wrote that there were magicians in the enemy! They broke through the city gate directly by the darkness of the night, and the guards at the city gate did not react, and when they reacted, the enemy had already rushed into the city, and it was said that there were many magicians!

Suddenly, several faint but crisp gunshots came from a distance, and the two guards and the woman in the room all looked out the window in horror, while the city lord touched his neck and tilted his head to look out of the window, with a bewildered expression.

.

.

On the border of Sturt City, the forward headquarters and command tent

, including Lei Ming and Li Zhen, several officers in red uniforms and black tricorne hats gathered in front of the map and talked.

Their shirts were similar to those of the Red Shirts formed by Su Zheng, but instead of white leather helmets, they wore black tricorne hats and brown leather boots.

"I just got the news that the Second Regiment has also occupied Colt City, and they say that the information is wrong, and there are no 3,000 defenders in Colt City, not even 1,000. An

officer took the envelope and reported to Lei Ming, and when he heard this, Lei Ming asked with some doubts:

"Is it stationed outside?" or escaped?"

"No, the second regiment said that they had arranged for soldiers to guard the other exits, and no one escaped from the city, and also asked the lord of Colt City, and there were no troops stationed outside. Hearing

this, Lei Ming and several people glanced at each other, and they all guessed why.

"Hey, this is.... The people below have eaten

empty salaries?" "Hahaha

!" "This is really rare!" The

other officers laughed, if it is a huge empire, it is normal for corruption and empty salaries, but a small autonomous city-state can still eat empty salaries, and such a large empty salary, it is really too strange, this lord has to be incompetent to do it, if he goes to the barracks to take a look, there will be no such situation.

Everyone teased the city lord for a while, and then Li Zhen pressed his hand to calm everyone down

, and then said: "Now the second and third regiments have completed their tasks ahead of schedule, and the tasks originally planned to be completed within five days are estimated to be completed tomorrow!"

Lei Ming propped his hands on the table, looked at the map and said

, "Well, there is still 1 target left in the second and third regiments, and there are 2 left in the first regiment!"

Then he looked at the officer who had just held the letter and said

, "Order the 1st Regiment at once, and immediately launch the next round of attacks at dawn, and strive to complete all the tasks within one day

!" "Yes!"

The officer gave a military salute, then walked to the side of the clerk who was in charge of writing the correspondence, and instructed the correspondence clerk to write the correspondence.

Li Zhen looked at the map, looked at Lei Ming with a heavy face, and said

, "We don't need to defend the north for the time being, and now our attention should be on the east... As soon as we start fighting, they will be able to know our situation in five days at most, the enemy's army of 200,000 troops! We have only 3 grenadier regiments, 1 cavalry regiment, and only muskets... Won't it be a little difficult?"

Lei Ming grinned and said:

"We still have ten new regiments, and it will take a month for the enemy to react to the deployment of troops at the earliest, and then these 10,000 people will be able to enter the battle! Besides, our current 4,000 men can still fight the other 200,000!"

As soon as Lei Ming's words fell, a man in a cloth suit walked in quickly, and it could be seen through his dress that this was a scout in charge of the long journey, and after coming in, he gave a military salute, and then took out a

letter and said: "Su Xincheng urgent!"

The officer who had just finished dictating the order to the communications clerk hurriedly walked over, took the letter and opened it, and said to Lei Ming and the others after reading it:

" According to reliable sources, the Klar Kingdom has sent another 150,000 troops to support the north, but it is estimated that 150,000 people are still stationed in the territory.

Hearing this, Lei Ming was a little surprised and said

, "Oh, then, they have a total of 600,000 troops! No wonder they dare to rebel, this force is about to catch up with the empire."

"We still have 150,000 troops stationed there, which is a good thing for us.

Li Zhen said, Lei Ming nodded in agreement.

The officer holding the letter continued:

"There is one more thing, tomorrow morning a group of students from the Suxin Academy will come to observe and study, and in addition, one of them is a special training class, and Deputy Commander Li Zhen needs to take more care of it. "

Huh?"

everyone looked at the officer who took the letter suspiciously, and then at Li Zhen.

"What do you mean?"

Li Zhen took the letter from the officer's hand and read it, and the letter did specifically explain that he wanted him to take more care of it.

"Who is it?" Lei

Ming asked with some confusion, it was not strange that students from Suxin Academy came to observe the battle, but it was strange why Li Zhen was specially stated to take care of him.

"I don't know, I didn't say.

Li Zhen shook his head and said, and at the same time handed the letter to Lei Ming, Lei Ming looked at the letter and asked

, "Is there anyone in

the special training class that you know?" Li Zhen scratched the back of his head and said:

"I don't know anyone in the special training class except for Noelle, at most I know Logitech and Paul, and I don't even remember the names of the other five." Hearing

this, Lei Ming and the others were puzzled, and finally Lei Ming waved his hand and said

, "Forget it, I'll know tomorrow, let's stop here today, everyone go and rest first." "
