Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Night was about to fall, and on the walls of the west gate of Lightern, the defenders yawned and looked idly at the vast fields in front of them.

There were only a few soldiers bustling on the city walls, and only one soldier was on duty at the city gates.

The sun gradually set behind the highlands at the end of the western line of sight, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky and the earth red, a few birds streaked across the distant sky, and several figures on horseback rose from behind the highlands.

A soldier looked ahead with a faint smile on his face, and just looked at it in a daze, looking at the beautiful sunset, at the large black shadows surging in the distance, at the flocks of birds flying by, at the sky where a little starlight had appeared, and at this beautiful ......

"Wait—"

Suddenly, he rubbed his eyes and stared at the high ground in the distance.

"Hey, hey, look...,"

he hurriedly turned his head to look at his comrades who were resting against the low wall next to him and shouted.

His comrade-in-arms stretched lazily, stood up slightly, leaned on the low wall and squinted into the distance, and then suddenly widened his eyes.

The two looked at each other again, looked at each other's shocked eyes, and both understood that they were not dazzled, and then the two looked into the distance again.

"Enemy... Enemy

attack!" "Enemy attack!" The

roars of the two attracted the attention of the other soldiers on the city wall, and everyone looked into the distance .....

"Uhh

He looked up at the city wall in a daze, and the soldiers on the city wall leaned down on the

city wall and shouted, "Enemy attack!

Close the city gate!" The soldiers at the city gate were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't react at once, and the soldiers on the city wall saw that the soldiers at the city gate were unmoved, and anxiously shouted at him:

"What are you doing there? Close the city gate quickly!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Only then did the soldiers at the city gate react and hurriedly ran into the city to close the city gate.

At this time, a soldier came down from the city wall, and while rushing to the wooden house at the gate of the city, he shouted:

"Enemy attack! enemy attack!"

At this time, there was a noise in the wooden house, and a dozen soldiers were sitting around the table playing cards, until the soldiers defending the city rushed in, and they did not hear any movement outside.

"Enemy attack!"

the soldier shouted to the soldiers in the house after rushing in, and the room suddenly fell silent, waiting to look at the soldiers who had just entered the door.

"Huh?"

"Enemy attack?"

"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"

"

What!" The

soldiers took a long time to react, and then they panicked, and it was not until the captain of the team gave the command at the top of his voice that the soldiers took up their weapons and rushed out of the cabin.

The captain hurriedly ordered the soldiers to move the weapons out of the storehouse, and then led the horse behind the hut and arranged for a man to ride to the city to communicate.

Three thousand cavalry rushed towards the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall trembled uncontrollably, this was the first time they faced the enemy attacking the city.

In this direction, some of the divided earl city-states were headed, and the soldiers could not believe that a city-state lord would launch an attack on the kingdom of Klar.

The cavalry rushed straight towards the city gates, and soon the troops were in the city.

Seeing that these cavalry did not carry heavy siege weapons, the soldiers on the city wall were slightly relieved.

The large cavalry force began to slow down when it was about a kilometer away from the city wall, but the more than 100 cavalry at the front were still rapidly approaching the city wall.

Looking at the group of cavalry under the pressure of the black, the soldiers on the city wall panicked again, and they all retreated, trying to escape from the city, but they were all stopped by the captain.

What gives everyone a little comfort is that these cavalrymen don't seem to even have weapons, nor do they wear armor, they only wear cloth clothes, and then they have a lot of things like water bags for wine, and they are not sure if they are attacking, even if they are attacking, they don't even have any siege weapons or even knives, so they want to attack the city

More than a hundred cavalry rushing in front stopped thirty meters from the city wall, and then a dozen cavalry slowly approached the city wall until they reached the bottom of the city wall and looked at the soldiers on the city wall.

"What are you doing here?" shouted

the captain of the soldiers on the ramparts to the cavalry below.

"We're a caravan! You see we're not armed, let's go in!" replied

one of the cavalrymen, and the soldiers on the walls looked at each other, caravans, what are you kidding, how can there be a caravan like yours? Thousands of people rushed towards the walls.

The captain of the soldiers swallowed and shouted to the cavalry below

, "I'm sorry, our captain has an order that the gates will be closed when the sun goes down! (Bang)"

The captain was talking, and the cavalrymen below were impatiently taking out something from their waists and facing them, and before the captain could finish his words, suddenly a loud noise came.

All the soldiers who were lying on the low wall and looking down were hit.

Seeing this, several other soldiers who were moving their weapons to defend the city stared at each other and froze in place, and then put down their things in their hands in horror and ran towards the city wall.

The leading cavalry outside the city blew the smoke from the muzzle

of the gun, then put away the gun, walked to the city gate, and took out a bundle of explosives from the package! [Su Zheng brand TNT, handmade, the whole process of His Royal Highness Su Zheng personally hands, worthy of Xinnai's good explosives!]

The cavalry passed through the crack in the door, bent a wire and stretched it into it and hung it on the door bolt, and then hooked the explosives at the other end, took out a flint and steel, lit the fire detonator, and then waved his hand and quickly left the city gate with the cavalry.

Heinz, who stopped not far away, squinted at the city gate, he had seen the power of gunpowder, but this time Su Zheng gave a batch of more powerful 'yellow powder', and Su Zheng called it "explosives".

He has never seen the explosion of explosives, it is said that the entire manufacturing process of explosives is only known to Su Zheng, from beginning to end Su Zheng made it alone, and this batch of explosives was also made by Su Zheng himself.

An

earth-shattering loud bang came from the city gate, and a huge fire ball lit up.

Heinz looked at the city gate that had been blown up in surprise, this power was much more powerful than black powder, and the fire of the explosion was also extremely dazzling.

That's a kilogram of explosives! It's powerful enough to blow up a car! The flames

from the explosion are brighter than the black powder, and the night has fallen, and the scene is spectacular.

Su Zheng proposed that it was best to fix the explosives at the deadbolt with wire, so that the bolt could be broken directly so that the door could be opened.

But now it seems that Su Zheng is too worried, and this power directly smashed the city gate to pieces.

This itself is also the side gate of the city-state, which is not only made of wood, but also not thick, so it can be easily blown open.

With a wave of his hand, Heinz moved the cavalry and rushed towards the city gate.
