At this time, what they are on guard against is not the enemy, but the polluting animals hidden in the forest.
In the dark forest, some predators are assassins in the shadow. They are good at raiding. If they are not careful, they are likely to be attacked. They must be careful.
"Chief sergeant, we have arrived at the appointed place, and we can see the Blackstone fortress on the mountain."
The voice comes from the communicator, and the speaker comes from the top of the tree.
On a big tree blocking the sky and among the thick branches and leaves, a silver gray figure is looking up to a huge barren mountain in the distance.
There are many barren mountains, which form a mountain range formed by rock mountain. The mountain range is as big as a great wall. It is located in the forest and divides the forest into two parts.
Looking to both sides, the continuous mountains can hardly see the end.
On the hillside of the mountain range, a black stone fortress is located here. It is made of black stone, like a wall standing on the hillside of the mountain range. By naked eyes, its length is no less than five kilometers.
Compared with the magnificent mountains, although it is a little humble, its existence has blocked the way of the first army.
At the edge of the forest, a muddy road leads to Blackstone fortress halfway up the mountain. Blackstone fortress is also the lowest place in the whole mountain range. After Blackstone fortress, it is the shortest shortcut across the kurbei mountains.
In the forest, a soldier looked up slightly and said, "can we get closer? We need to investigate the situation in Blackstone more carefully. "
"This is the most suitable position. You can see the situation on the wall of the fortress. If you get close, your sight will be affected. The enemy is at a high place. Although we are hidden in the forest, we can't completely hide our trace. The closer we get, the greater the risk of exposure. Now we are within the range of the local fortress guns. Once they find us, we will be able to find out, We will be in a very dangerous situation, chief sergeant. We suggest that we choose this place as the investigation outpost. This big tree is very lush. We can build an observation post on the top of the tree. With the help of visual inspection and UAV, we can more clearly find out the situation in the fortress. "
Blair has no objection to his subordinates' proposals.
It's true that Blackstone fortress is high. Although the forest is a very hidden place, it's not absolute.
The invasion of the first Legion has made the garrison in the fortress like a bird in shock. At this time, on the city wall, there must be countless pairs of eyes watching the forest at the foot of the mountain. Once they get too close, the greater the risk of being found.
Around, Blair confirmed the surrounding environment.
It's a good place. Because it's under a big tree, the space can be guaranteed.
Although the roots protruding from the ground make the ground not very flat, there is no problem.
Their task is to investigate Blackstone fortress, confirm the military forces in the fortress, carry some light equipment, have no road demand, and will not be troubled by some harsh environment.
After confirmation, Blair gave the order.
"Everyone stand by and set up a defensive line around this big tree. Remember, try not to shoot. It will expose our position."
After the order was given, the soldiers dispersed in a crowd and set up a cordon around the tree.
Immediately, Blair contacted the rear team.
"Confirm the signal coordinates and bring up the equipment."
It's dangerous in the woods, so it's impossible for Blair to take two teams of soldiers with him.
These two teams are just the front-line investigation team. In the rear, on the forest road about 20 kilometers away, a team of 100 sergeants is waiting for them to support the front-line investigation team.
And this Sergeant team is under Blair, he is a first-class Sergeant team.
The forest is dark, hiding everything, but also erase the existence of the soldiers.
Looking up, Blair looked up.
Above is the dense branches and leaves, the sunlight through the gap, the weak light beam is slightly dazzling.
"Jet engine on, attitude assist on."
Blair turned on the jet backpack engine.
With the "buzzing" engine whistling, behind Blair, two small jets rotate slightly, from which blue flames erupt.
A powerful air stream immediately appeared, pushing Blair to fly into the dense canopy.
In the branches, Blair's flying posture is still dexterous, constantly moving back and forth to find enough space to go through.
The roar of the engine is not loud, on the contrary, it is a little low, and there is no need to doubt the power.
On a stout branch, Blair stopped.
On one side, on the higher branch, were the scouts who had already been on the tree.
The movement below can't hide the investigator. Seeing that the man is Blair, he whispered: "only by visual observation, we can't see much. The defense on the wall is not strong. There are only a few soldiers and some generation of guards. But we can't know what the scene is in the fortress. In order to know the situation in the fortress, we need the assistance of UAV."
Because of the angle problem, you can't see too much by visual inspection. Even the situation on the city wall can only be observed a little. To determine the situation in the fortress, you need the assistance of some equipment.
Looking up, Blair looked at Blackstone fortress not far away and said, "the equipment will be delivered later."
It's not far, but there is still a certain distance.
About five kilometers to the southeast is the korbei mountains.
Halfway up the bare mountain is Blackstone fortress.
The image in the helmet shrinks through focusing, like a magnifying glass, presenting Blackstone fortress in Blair's eyes.
Because of the angle, only one side of the wall can be seen.
Now it's near noon, it seems very quiet on the wall, only some patrol teams can be seen walking around.
The military equipment of the fortress is still strong. There are many turrets in the fortress.
Each turret is spread over the whole city wall, and there is one every 30 meters.
In the turret, you can see the gun barrel protruding from the firing hole. The caliber is not small, and the number of guns is not small.
Each turret has three guns of the same size. If you look at the caliber, it will not be less than 150 mm.
Compared with the city captured by the first legion, the defense force of this fortress is undoubtedly much stronger.
