Chapter 301: Expendables
"Damn it!" Looking at the "two gold coins" fortress occupied by the Thracian army, the panda couldn't help but grow his mouth and curse in a low voice.
What the Thracians did was beyond everyone's expectations. They neither demolished the fortress nor intended to rely on the fortress to fight, but filled a large area of the fortress and built a huge catapult. .
How big is this catapult? Panda reckons that if it is moved to the castle of the guild "Breakthrough the Earth", it will probably be a bit higher than the castle.
Such a huge catapult not only surprised him, but also made the Molai soldiers on the Norma defense line dumbfounded.
After being dumbfounded, all that's left is worry.
"This thing... it should be just a decoration..."
"Yeah, such a big catapult can't really be used!"
"Yeah, it's impossible!"
Beside the panda, several officers said this with pale faces.
Panda is not so optimistic, or rather, he does not dare to deceive himself like this.
The Thracians would not have done useless work, and spent so much effort to fill almost half of the fortress, and then build such a big catapult, you tell me this thing is a decoration? Intimidation? Is it psychological warfare?
Did you drink too much! Dream during the day!
He sighed deeply and opened the chat channel.
"Have you seen it? That terrifying super-giant catapult," he said.
"Of course you can see it, but the blind can't see it."
"That thing is really big enough, how much engineering skill level does it take to make it!"
"The thought that it might throw a big rock on my head just a minute later makes me feel bad!"
"Don't say that! My hairs stand up when I say this!"
These speakers, of course, are all traversers in the Norma line of defense.
Immediately afterwards, other travelers asked about the situation. When they heard that the Thracians had filled half of the fortress, they had erected a super-giant catapult that was almost as high as the castle, maybe even higher than the castle. The few people suddenly became interested and expressed their desire to come and watch the excitement.
But before they came, the Duke's order came first.
Take the initiative to attack the two gold coin fortresses and try to destroy the super giant catapult.
Panda admitted that this order was completely correct. In his own words, seeing such a huge catapult frame in front of his house, he had to take the initiative to call it out and dismantle it.
But the problem is... Compared with the combat power of the Molai army and the Thracian army, this command line does not work!
Before relying on the geographical location to defend, I was beaten layer by layer like an onion peeled, and now I want to fight it myself?
Wasn't this frightened out of a neuropathy? Or did you just lose your brain?
For some reason, he thought of a famous saying in the game: Zombies eat your brain...
Tucao returns to Tucao, the order still has to be executed. With the Duke's order, the entire Norma line of defense moved. Heroes from all walks of life were selected and formed an elite force, intending to attack the two gold coin fortress and destroy the bizarrely large catapult.
Panda is naturally one of these "strong generals". After receiving the transfer order, he quickly rushed to the four gold coin fortress in front of him. As a result, he saw many acquaintances at a glance - except for the civilian staff, he joined the Molai Army as a combat professional. Not a single one of the traversers who fought are here.
"Is this the so-called 'gold will always shine'?" He couldn't help but say on the chat channel, "Everyone is here..."
Everyone laughed, some answered and some just smiled.
Soon, the Duke's messenger arrived.
This messenger is the Duke's confidant. Although he has no official title, he has a more reliable identity than any title - his daughter, the wife of the Duke's only son.
In other words, this middle-aged man who smiled and knew that he was a businessman was a son and daughter of the Duke.
This kind of thing is completely impossible in other countries - the heir to the dignified Duke, the future Duke of Norma, one of the highest-level rulers of a country, would actually marry a merchant's daughter? Simply ridiculous!
But in Molai, businessmen, especially big businessmen, were actually not low in status. For example, the famous "South China Sea Commercial Bank" occupies nearly 60% of the business between the Federation and the South China Sea Islands.
Panda didn't know this middle-aged man, but looking at the confidence in the other's smile, he knew that the identity of the other party was definitely not low-how could he be a small person who could marry the Duke!
This middle-aged man is also very good at talking. As soon as he came, he complimented everyone. He praised everyone as fearless warriors and the pillars of the Federation. The battle, regardless of success or failure, is rewarded with three thousand gold coins, and it is an advance!
As he said that, he asked someone to bring in a large box. The box was filled with hexagonal purple transparent crystals, each of which was similar to the fingernail of a thumb, and had exactly the same pattern.
This is the magic crystal coin, the currency with the highest face value in the Western Continent, and one piece can be worth one hundred gold coins.
Although everyone present was a master, most of them had never seen this legendary currency, and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Thirty magic crystal coins. If you don't believe it's real, you can just take gold coins." The middle-aged man said, "Of course, if you need equipment, you can also exchange it for equipment of equal value."
After saying this, everyone immediately stopped looking at those magic crystal coins.
For them, who are about to fight to the death, equipment is obviously more practical than money.
As a result, everyone's three thousand gold pen to buy life money quickly turned into pieces of equipment.
Panda was one of the few people who did not choose equipment. He accepted thirty magic crystal coins, looked at these crystal clear little things with interest, and gently collided them with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
The middle-aged man didn't ask him why he didn't want to equip, nor did he ask anyone else who made such a choice.
After everyone had chosen, a cold-faced officer asked everyone if they had any last words to leave. Who should the pension and inheritance go to if you die in battle? Questions like that.
"I don't have anything to say." Panda smiled and said, "Three thousand gold coins are sold for one life, that's all. If I die, it's my bad luck, and I don't need to explain anything."
Of course he didn't need to explain anything, even if he died, he would just return to the city...
However, Yuneruo said that he hoped to give everyone a magic item that could self-destruct.
"Even if I die, I won't let my body fall into the hands of the Thracians!" he said, "I don't think I'm the only one with similar thoughts, but everyone feels unlucky and doesn't want to say it. Come out - I don't mind, I'll tell!"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and looked at the other members of the death squad.
Of course, the panda and the other transmigrators nodded in approval immediately, and under their influence, other members of the death squad also expressed their approval.
So they had a fist-sized metal ball around their waists. As long as they stuffed a red crystal prepared in advance, it would explode immediately. The power of the explosion is very great, not only will he be shattered, but the enemies within five or six steps around it are estimated to be difficult to survive.
"I sincerely hope that you don't need it." The middle-aged man said, "Finally, I wish everyone a triumphant return!"
Horus raised his battle axe and shouted: "Triumph!"
The panda also roared, then the others, and finally the roars became one.
