Early the next morning, Gaz sent some monsters belonging to the Dragon Legion to leave the Puncture Fort and approach the Lima Fortress as the vanguard.

Among these monster legions, the most important ones are highly mobile wolf cavalry and flying monsters.

At present, the tasks they are responsible for are generally just reconnaissance, and Gaz has actually done similar actions many times before, but this time the movement is bigger.

In addition to these simple monsters, there are also some ordinary humans stuffed inside.

Most of these humans were the original soldiers of the Western Empire. After the defeat, they were recruited by Angelia, and some of them who performed well were even reused.

The protagonists of this operation are these people from the Western Empire.

In this operation, they were also given a new codename, Rat.

They were all carefully selected by Gaz and were determined to be ruthless and innocent people in the Western Empire. Just in case, these Western Empire people were also engraved with blood contracts.

In order to prevent these rats from being discovered by the people of Lima Fortress, they were wrapped in wolf skins in the abdomen of the wargs and well hidden.

Initially, the people in Lima Fortress thought this was just a daily reconnaissance, but when these wolf cavalry and flying monsters got closer and closer, they finally realized that something was wrong.

Rows of long archers stood on the high wall with their bows and arrows drawn. Catapults, ballistas, and even magic cannons were also pushed out.

The entire fortress entered a fighting state almost instantly. As long as those wolf cavalry or flying monsters dared to enter the attack range, the Lima Fortress would attack without mercy.

Between Puncture Fort and Lima Fortress is a large wasteland with few green plants, and the land is severely desertified.

The flying monsters flying in the air dropped some special balls from a long distance, and these balls landed in front of the Wolf Cavalry in an arc-shaped parabola.

This sight frightened the people in the Lima Fortress.

The Western Empire has already known about the fact that the Dragon Empire has an explosive that can be thrown from high altitudes.

So after seeing what those flying monsters dropped from the sky, the people in Lima Fortress first reacted with great nervousness and prepared countermeasures immediately.

The city walls of Lima Fortress have been built in advance in addition to many special trench-like facilities that can be used for shelter in such situations.

But when most people hid in the ditch, they were surprised to find that those balls falling from the sky landed directly on the path that the Wolf Cavalry must pass.

Then, there was a slight explosion.

Although the sound was small and the power was insufficient, the impact was amazing, directly bringing up a large amount of sand and soil on the surrounding ground, forming a smoke screen that could cover a large area.

Seeing this scene, the people in Lima Fortress finally understood the reason why these balls chose such a landing point.

A man who looked like a commander stood in the sentry tower on the top of the fortress, gritting his teeth as he watched all this. Now that the line of sight was blocked, it was naturally very difficult for longbowmen or other soldiers to aim with bursts of fire.

But even so, he still issued the order to fire freely.

Following his order, the longbowman immediately began to shoot according to his own consciousness, and a dense rain of arrows instantly fell towards the smoke screen.

Weapons of war such as ballistae were not used. It was a waste of resources to attack a group of small enemies when the line of sight was blocked.

Although the previous rounds of designs over the Lima Fortress were blindly based on feelings, they were not without any results.

You can tell from the screams coming from the smoke screen that at least a few Wolf Cavalry won the prize.

The smoke screen spread all the way to the bottom of the Lima Fortress wall. Not long after, a leader-like Goblin Wolf Cavalry slowly walked out from inside.

He raised his head, sneered at the people on the Lima Fortress, and then raised the crossbow in his hand to shoot.

"Whoosh!"

Hearing the sound of an arrow, the bow broke free from the string, and then accurately penetrated into the eye socket of a long archer from the Western Empire.

After bursts of mocking laughter, the wargs in the smoke screen let out bursts of high-pitched wolf howls.

After the smoke gradually dissipated, the people on the Lima Fortress discovered that these wolf cavalrymen had taken their companions who were in their hands or had died unfortunately and ran out of the range of the longbowmen. Their speed did not slow down, and they were obviously ready to fly away.

.

"asshole!"

The commander in the guard tower angrily smashed the window, so these bastards went through so much effort just to come and shoot an arrow to humiliate themselves?

No, that's definitely not the case!

After sensing something was wrong, the commander immediately came to the poor longbowman personally and personally pulled out the short arrow that had sunk into his eye socket.

Sure enough, there was a small note tied to the tail of the short arrow.

When the commander unfolded the small piece of paper and saw clearly what it said behind him, his breathing began to quicken.

The content of the note was very simple. After mercilessly ridiculing the Western Empire's powerlessness and eventual failure, it stated directly at the end that the Dragon Empire and the Western Empire had declared war and would officially launch it one month later.

attack.

After a while, the commander immediately ordered: "Quick! Someone, come and present this paper to His Majesty for personal reading immediately!"

When the surname was gone, the commander ordered the entire fortress to be on heightened alert to prevent another such attack from the other side.

If the other party leaves so easily in the end, then the Western Empire will be really embarrassed.

Fortunately, similar actions like before did not occur again. Apart from a few local scouts on the periphery, there were no abnormalities.

Not long after this, the sun set in the west, and the entire Lima Fortress wall was covered with torches, but the visible range was still very limited.

But at this moment, some figures in black clung tightly to the wall of Lima Fortress.

They were the humans who hid under the bellies of the wargs during the day. Under the cover of the smoke screen, the wolf cavalry not only sent a letter of challenge, but also left behind these rats.

These rats were originally part of the elite of the Scarlet Legion, and their personal strength was of course indescribable, and they had also made a lot of preparations for this operation.

Almost everyone received a lot of night vision potions, and in order to sneak into the Lima Fortress, Gaz also prepared a lot of good things for them.

First, they each tore up a scroll, in which was engraved the Light Body Technique.

Then, they put special gloves on their hands, which were magic props made by Sophia herself.
