Pirate's Plant Fruit

Chapter 82 The Terrible Long-Range Fortress
"What a bridge," Dalton said.

"In this way, it's a problem to let thousands of people walk over." Rogge said.

With this bridge, thousands of villagers can escape from here.

"I have to say, this bridge is very good." Sanji also said.

Everyone walked to the flat area opposite the bridge, and then walked back to the previous cliff.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Rogge said to Dalton: "Okay, hurry up and tell the villagers to move."

Dalton nodded and said, "Yes, this pine forest area is actually not safe. Although the enemy is not attacking, they may have powerful long-range artillery."

Roger and Dalton hurried back to the Pinewood area.

Dalton's men quickly began the transfer of thousands of villagers.

Thousands of villagers passed the pine tree bridge and started the transfer smoothly.

Among the fortifications in the west, Jess is resting in one of the fortifications.

"Well, it's comfortable here." Jess sat on the chair and said while drinking hot coffee.

The surrounding officers used phone bugs for various communications.

Jess asked the officers, "How's it going? Anything new?"

"Commander Jess, the fortifications in the north are fine." An officer said.

"Commander Jess, the fortifications in the south are fine." Another officer said.

After hearing this, Jess nodded in satisfaction.

"Obviously, these pirates and Dalton are all afraid of our fortifications." Jess said proudly.

The last time Rogge and Dalton were investigating, they were repelled by fierce firepower.

Jess was already quite sure that no one dared to charge towards the fortifications.

The fortification groups trapped the opponent like an iron wall.

An officer asked Jess: "My lord commander, what will happen to these enemies?"

"Didn't you install the large-caliber mortars made by Drexus on the seven iron barrel peaks before? After installation, you can bomb targets in the Drum Kingdom. Of course, this also includes here." Jess said .

The faces of the officers changed drastically upon hearing this.

"You said you want to bomb here?" the officers said in surprise.

Jess said naturally: "Yes, it happened to be a weapon experiment."

"In this case, Dalton will also be wiped out." An officer said.

Jess said proudly, "Dalton and those pirates deserve to be cut to death. This is the best way."

"But, please, Commander. When will the shelling take place?" asked one of the officers.

"This, according to the current situation. It will take about half a day to install those cannons. In other words, the first shelling will start in half a day." Jess said.

After Jess finished speaking, he poured a new cup of coffee into Lei's cup and continued to taste it.

The skies over Magnetic Drum Country are still falling with goose feathers and heavy snow, and the time is gradually approaching evening.

The cold wind also picked up at night.

In the eastern canyon of the Pine Forest area, villagers moved from above the pine tree bridge to the area across the canyon.

On the flat ground opposite the canyon, Rogge, Dalton and a group brought the rear and two villagers over.

"Finally, so many people can leave here now." Dalton said.

Rogge looked towards the Pine Tree Bridge, which allowed thousands of people to pass without any problem.

"Dalton, so many people have moved. Then where did they go. It's getting late now," Rogge said.

It's late now, and it's cold here, with wind and snow.

Thousands of people still don't know where to move, let's see if Dalton and the others can do anything.

"I have a way, go to those areas we know." Dalton said.

Usopp also shook his body, and said, "Hey, have you discussed it? It's really cold here."

"Well, the food was almost eaten before. After careful calculation, we stayed in the pine forest area for two days. Hurry up and find a place to get some ingredients. I will cook some delicacies for Nami and Miss Vivi." Sanji said.

"Indeed, so many people need to be resettled." Weiwei said.

"Gah!" He shouted from the cold as he ran so fast.

Sauron also felt a little sleepy, and said, "It's not bad to find a good place to sleep."

"Okay, everyone, please follow me." Dalton said.

At this time, there was an iron barrel peak nearby.

This peak is the third peak from north to south on Magnetic Drum Island.

There is a flat area above the top of the kilometer peak.

In this flat area, there are warehouses and four large forts.

The warehouse is full of munitions, and there are a large number of soldiers guarding here.

Four large forts are located at the four corners.

Hundreds of soldiers are now working quickly.

Four large forts were checked repeatedly by them.

"Fort No. 1 has been inspected!"

"Fort No. 2 has been inspected!"

"Fort No. 3 has been inspected!"

"Fort No. 4 has been inspected!"

The officers of the four forts gathered in front of the Colonel of the King's Army at the top of the mountain to report the situation.

"Well, very good." The bearded colonel nodded.

Holding a phone bug, the colonel said, "Report to Commander Jess. The artillery on the top of North No. 3 Peak is ready. Four long-range large mortars specially made by Drexus have been installed on the fort."

Jess' voice came from the opposite side of the phone bug, and the other party said proudly: "That's good, now you are targeting the pine forest area according to the plan. Pay attention, use incendiary shells."

"Yes, Commander Jess," the Colonel replied.

The two parties then ended the call.

The bearded colonel gave an order: "All the soldiers listened to the order and pointed the two forts that can attack the pine forest area, that is, No. 1 and No. 4 forts, at the pine forest area. Load incendiary shells, calibrate and shoot!"

"Yes, sir!"

said the officers.

Then the officers of the No. 1 turret and No. 4 turret rushed to execute the order.

The colonel reached the edge of the mountain with two other battery officers and some adjutants.Watch the bombardment about to begin.

Both forts No. 1 and No. 4 are aimed at the pine forest area northwest of the mountain.

Above the three-story fort of Fort No. 1, a ten-meter-long, one-meter-diameter long-range large mortar is being calibrated.

The body of the long-range large mortar made of ten-meter-long stainless steel is painted black, and there are words made by Drexus on the body of the gun.

The bottom of the long-range large mortar is a base that can rotate 360 ​​degrees on the shaft.

On the side of the long-range large mortar is a calibration device with an ultra-long-range telescope.

There are Lexus-trained artillery surveyors who have been there in person to make adjustments.

There is an ultra-long-range telescope on the calibration aiming device, which can be combined with the scale of the device to measure the distance.In addition to the long run, there is also a height difference.

Skilled artillery surveyors crunched the data to arrive at values ​​for the inclination of the long-range large mortars themselves.

"The target area is 29 degrees northwest. The lateral distance is 6700 meters, and the altitude difference is 4100 meters. It is recommended to use a 75-degree slope altitude."

Artillery manning long-range large mortars quickly maneuvered the cannons into position.

Huge and murderous long-range mortars were aimed at the pine forest area.

The next four artillerymen push the shell loader with its rotating wheel and lifting lever to the rear of the long-range mortar.The artilleryman turned the wheel, and a lever mechanism lifted the giant shell.

Open the hatch at the rear of the long-range mortar, and a spherical shell with a diameter of one meter is loaded into it.

The No. 4 turret has also made numerical confirmation, adjustment and loading according to itself.

Both forts were aimed at the pine forest area of ​​the target area.

"Fire!"

There were two earth-shattering shelling sounds, and two flames pierced the night sky and fell in a parabola towards the pine forest area.
