She Is Not a Witch

West Territory, Grizzly Collar, Gray Mountain City.

This is an important town in the western region, because there are many iron mines in the territory, and many armors and weapons in the western region come from here. Compared with other places, the defense here is also very strict.

The huge canyon between the mountains is connected by the city wall, forming a fortress of more than 200 meters on the ground. Black and gray smoke rises from the chimneys between the hillsides and floats into the distance. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can smell it. To the lingering smell of burnt sulfur in the air.

The line of sight crosses the connected giant city wall from the high sky, and behind it are large furnaces built on the mountainside. There was a heavy metal crashing sound, and boiling white steam gushed out from the exhaust pipe from time to time. The two mountains were connected by huge iron cables. The long-awaited black train.

The roaring steam whistle sounded in the mountains, and the transmission mechanism of the train was activated by the rhythmic impact on the rails. Finally, with the carriages behind, it drove towards the long **** down the mountain. After a short downhill acceleration, Gradually reach a steady speed of progress, and transport the contents of these carriages to the major cities in the central part of the Western Territory.

When the industry in the southern border was developing rapidly, the other dukes in the empire were not unaware, but compared to the comprehensive development of the southern border, they only chose a small part.

Just like the trains and rails, this is the only one in the entire western territory, and the connecting distance is only more than 50 kilometers. Even so, a lot of wealth in the western territory has been consumed.

And because of the lack of technology and power, the train needs to go downhill to gain momentum when it starts, otherwise it will be difficult to run.

Almost all the iron and steel smelted by the Grizzly Lord was used for the armament of the new era, such as the manufacture of muskets and armor. After the empire was divided, the nobles devoted most of their energy to military expansion.

A large number of civilians were recruited into the army and trained to arouse their desire for military merit and their desire to become a master. In this way, not only were a large number of vital forces recruited from the common people, and the power to resist the rule was reduced, but the nobles also obtained sufficient military resources.

However, such a large-scale armed force in the west is not without cost.

A large number of middle-aged people entered the army and factories, which brought a huge blow to the agriculture in the western region. The western region, which was already insufficient in food production, had to mobilize a large amount of food from the central plain. It was originally a territory directly under the royal family and was extremely rich. Now it has become a In order to confront the Eastern Empire, new-style fortresses were built on the border. A large number of legions were stationed here to guard against the enemy and the rebellion of the local residents.

After receiving the news of the internal rebellion in the western border, part of the legion was transferred from the fort where it was stationed and returned to the western border to support and suppress the rebels.

After transporting the goods, the return train became much lighter. The steam-spewing locomotive moved forward on the railway tracks in the mountains, and the rhythmic roar of the wheels pierced the tranquility of the mountains.

The carriage shook slightly. Inside the carriage where goods were originally piled up, there were rows of soldiers in black military uniforms sitting. They were holding cold metal guns and leaning against the inner wall of the carriage. .

Compared with the pampered noble guards in the Western Region Headquarters, these soldiers are the real elite of the Western Region. In the fierce battle with the Eastern Empire, a large number of lives were lost, but a group of soldiers who have been tested have also been tempered.

They are no longer cowering and dazed like recruits. The strict and cruel battlefield baptism has made the surviving soldiers decisive and cold, no longer have sympathy and hesitation, and no longer think about the so-called justice and evil, only numb acceptance Command, kill, kill, kill.

It is undeniable that this is also a kind of power, a kind of power full of darkness and coldness.

In a compartment at the rear.

Different from other carriages, this carriage has a lot of luxurious decoration inside, high-quality solid wood furniture, soft and comfortable red velvet, beautiful hanging oil paintings, alchemy artifacts for ventilation on the roof, and alchemy boxes that provide freezing and fresh-keeping functions , white porcelain, black tea with slow aroma, and so on.

These facilities and things strive to provide a comfortable experience for the nobles who take this carriage, and often only dignitaries are eligible to ride.

But today, this carriage is very empty, the seats are basically vacant, only a blond young man in military uniform sits in the middle seat.

The white military jacket was casually draped over his shoulders, revealing the black and white shirt and jacket inside. He rested on the table with one hand, flipping through the newspaper in his hand, and occasionally looking at the scenery outside the window.

There are no other people in the carriage, and there are no other sounds, only the sound of the mechanical transmission of the wheels running on the rails.

In this way, until the sun gradually turned around noon and came to the sky on the other side, part of the sunlight obliquely shone into the carriage.

"Winter"

There was a knock on the door in this quiet environment, and soon the carriage door opened, and a woman in military uniform walked into the carriage.

"Lord Isaiah, good afternoon."

She approached the young man with a stack of documents in her arms, then bent down and placed some documents in front of him.

"This is a telegram just received on the train, reporting the situation on the front line."

"Oh, which frontline?" Isaiah picked up the paper in front of him.

"It's the headquarters of the Western Territory, which is the aristocratic territory impacted by the 'Drywood Organization' and His Royal Highness Jailan."

"I see." He replied briskly, and then flipped.

Although the situation in the west was very bad, the general who had accepted the order to lead the army back to suppress the rebellion was not in a hurry, as if he was calm and calm just like the old outings.

Isaiah, the third son of Baron Burris, was born in an ordinary noble family in the western region. After his sister married the Earl of Wolfthorn, the family began to flourish.

Earl Wolfthorn is a confidant of the Duke of Griffin. Affected by this, he gave Isaiah a letter of recommendation that was difficult for ordinary nobles to obtain to study in Emenas.

In school, this handsome third son of the baron, who was not bad in talent, began to meet the top aristocratic peers in the west, and gained a lot of friendship.

But these did not allow Isaiah to develop rapidly, because there were too many young people like him in the empire who were born in nobles and graduated from Emenas.

Fortunately, as a native of the Western Region, he did not participate in the Western Expeditions of the Empire. After the changes in the world, successive wars caused a large number of talented and outstanding young people to die, and the available talents in the noble circle also greatly decreased. The armistice of the empire, the internal rebellion, the change of imperial power, and the flames of war in various regions have resulted in the death of more and more nobles, and those outstanding people who were entrusted with high hopes have passed away one after another.

When the Eastern and Western Empires were established, there were not many young people to look forward to in the Western Territory, and this noble young man who graduated from Emenas Bridge Pier Academy could be said to be very popular.

As the top military academy on the mainland, the Bridge of Never Settlement Academy has trained generations of generals and heroes for various organizations in various countries. After taking charge of the army, Isaiah began to serve in the army by virtue of what he had learned and the commanding ability he had trained for many years. After the three victorious generals in the empire passed away, he rose rapidly and became one of the new generation of generals.

After reading the telegram in his hand, Isaiah put down the paper and took a sip of tea slowly. Only then did the female adjutant ask.

"Master Isaiah, what should we do now?"

Unfavorable news came one after another from the interior of the Western Territory. The two armies broke through layers of defenses and began to approach the hinterland of the Western Territory. Many nobles in the Western Territory began to get nervous. This is why, even if there is a great risk, they insist on taking the Empire The reason for the repatriation of the troops at the front.

"We still act according to the original plan." Isaiah replied unhurriedly.

"But...those big shots are in a hurry, and even His Excellency the Duke sent letters of inquiry."

Unlike the calm Isaiah, the bespectacled adjutant was a little uneasy and worried.

"No matter how urgent they are, they will not do anything to us now, because we are their rare life-saving straw." Isaiah said slowly, looking at the scenery outside the window.

"As long as we still have this elite army, no one will embarrass us."

"So, my order is, after arriving in Huishan City, let the soldiers rest on the spot for three days, and do not give support to any other territories."

"Take over the Grizzly collar, intercept the local military supplies, equip the soldiers with the best equipment, and order them to build cannons and strengthen the local fortress."

"Except for the Duke's letter, the telegrams of other nobles don't need to be reported to me in the future. I know what they want to say, but it's meaningless."

"Our first step is to build a strong lair in the western territory, which can be used by us and continuously generate blood."

"As for those rotten nobles, of course, I will save them, but it is no longer the way they expected in the past."

After saying this, he took another sip of tea unhurriedly, then put on the white special military uniform and walked towards the carriage door.

Turning the metal door lock, the closed door was pulled open, and he stepped into the dark carriage.

In the compartment originally used for loading goods, only a little light came in through the gaps in the wooden boards on the car wall, and the interior was dark and cloudy. After the young general entered the compartment, the soldiers stood up one after another leaning on the car wall, everywhere The sound of caressing.

"Master General!"

These soldiers lined up in two straight rows in the carriage, standing opposite each other. The metal guns stood upright and placed close to their sides, with their eyes looking straight ahead.

Isaiah looked at these people, raised his right hand, made a simple gesture, and then moved forward unhurriedly. He passed through the carriages. The soldiers in the carriages stood silently, and the officers in each carriage followed immediately. Behind him, to the very front of the train.

Amidst the roar of the steam, a white column of air rushed up in the mountains. With the roar of the machinery, this long black train passed the railroad tracks in the mountains and kept going upwards, heading towards the tall mountain fortress. The grizzly bear banner on the city tower was already faintly visible.

The orange field collar on the south side of the grizzly collar.

Compared with the large fortress densely covered with mines in the Grizzly Territory, the core of the Orange Plain Territory is a huge basin plain between mountains, which is in the shape of a curved snake, sandwiched between several giant mountains.

There are rivers passing through this serpentine golden plain, and tens of millions of acres of fertile fields are scattered throughout it, with villages and small towns dotted there. There are two fortresses at the snake head and snake tail in this wilderness, guarding the pass into the wilderness .

Now, this snake-tailed pass is facing a fierce attack, and cannons are roaring on the ground, bombarding the solid gray stone city wall.

In the castle, the knights driving the griffins lifted off one by one. The sharp screams of the griffins filled the sky, and the knights holding thunder guns went straight to the firing position in the distance. With the flash of lightning, the blazing The thunder gun shoots out, bombing and penetrating the enemies on the ground.

In the rising dust cloud, the rotating airflow dome rose rapidly, obstructing the line of sight and hindering the shooting of thunder guns, reducing casualties.

Facing the attacks of these griffin knights, a knight in light purple armor stepped into the battlefield.

When the holy sword at the waist was slowly pulled out, the airflow in the sky became disordered, many griffins began to lose their balance, and the knights above couldn't project the thunder gun smoothly.

"Hmph, it's like this again."

In the sky, a knight riding a huge golden-maned griffin showed a cold expression. He looked at the vicissitudes of life but was extremely resolute. It is the current leader of the Griffon Knights, Ludus.

The number one knight in the western region is not only a rare Sequence 7, but also holds the sacred object [Leileu Dylant] bestowed by the Salius family.

As he held up the threaded spear in his hand, there was a sudden explosion in the clear sky, and the dazzling thunder instantly tore through the atmosphere and pierced into the army formation below.

The originally rising airflow dome was destroyed in an instant, and there were scorched black marks everywhere, and some points in the center were even pulverized by the furious thunder.

Facing this formidable opponent, Wyatt, who was on the offensive side, took a deep breath, then drew his sword and slashed, several streams of air rushed to the sky, tearing apart those Griffin Knights, causing feathers and blood to fall in a mess.

However, without the support of cannons, this attack is destined to be difficult to gain an advantage. Behind the tall city wall, a burst of crimson arrow rain crossed a high arc and fell into the position below, piercing and crucifying all the soldiers.

After successive failures on the front line, many elite private troops of great nobles gathered in this fortress. The rain of arrows just now was projected by Earl Redwood's "Sequoia Longbow Team".

This special bow and arrow team formed by soldiers above Sequence 3 has about 2,000 people, and its range can reach several kilometers. It is the pride and pride of the Earl of Redwood family.

After the rain of arrows, the city gate under the fortress opened, UU reading www.uukanshu. The cavalrymen wearing wolf helmets rushed out quickly. They and the horses under their crotches moved like the wind, and the sabers in their hands were like gray streamers, tearing apart the soldiers who were about to raise their guns and shoot in front of the army. Began to spread across this golden field.

In the face of this sudden and dangerous battlefield, in the attacking position, under the urging of the horn, the soldiers quickly stepped aside to the two sides, and a group of special knights stepped into the battlefield.

The armor is silver and white, the horse is covered with armor, the lion's mane cloak, the classical lance, and the lion's large shield.

The white lion knights following Yu Jielan marched in line, and as the lion held up the holy sword, the radiant light converged and spread to the knights behind him.

They went from slow to fast, their horseshoes were heavy, and they stepped on the ground, bringing the sound of rolling thunder, like prehistoric giants, and began to charge.

The straight gun barrels were put down neatly in the brilliance, rushing across the fields and the earth like meteors, piercing through the wolf-headed cavalry in front of them, and kept moving forward without stopping.

The strong city gate and the thunder guns shooting down from the sky can't stop the lion's advance until they are torn apart and strangled together.
