Lord of Industrialization

On a night in early winter, the howling north wind penetrated into the clothes and took away the little heat.

The soldier on night watch in Heishong Town tightened his collar and moved his butt towards the illuminated brazier without opening his eyes during the whole process.

A few days ago, we received news that a group of robbers from the north were heading this way, and everyone was on high alert.

We received good news yesterday that this group of people bypassed the town from a road not far away and their target was not here.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers, who had worked hard for several days, relaxed their vigilance and had a good rest.

Warm blood sprayed on the cold axe blade, rockets streaked across the night sky like meteors, the city gates were opened, and the watchtowers on the city walls turned into torches, illuminating the entire town.

Black Egg led the bravest warriors through the city gate and headed straight for the small castle in the center of the town. The owner of the town must have the most wealth.

Other robbers smashed down the doors on both sides of the street, pierced the skin of the owners with sharp blades, and stole the blood-stained property.

The fire illuminated the wings of the jackdaws, wailing was accompanied by the roar of the roof collapsing, choking smoke enveloped the night sky, and hideous laughter echoed among the broken walls.

The bandits from the mountains and forests saw the prosperity of the south for the first time. Countless treasures appeared before their eyes, and they had long forgotten the previous agreement.

When Rudolf arrived with the Knights, Black Egg and others had already moved the automatic bun-making machine and the steaming cabinet as big as a wardrobe from the bun-making bureau onto the carriage and took them away, leaving only the devastation.

“All…all dead?!”

Rudolf felt his hands and feet cold when he heard the report from the person who had gone to inquire about the news.

It’s not like we haven’t encountered villages being attacked before, but it’s unprecedented for a small town to be massacred.

Bastien, who entered the city to investigate, whispered, "There are less than ten survivors."

The other knights were taking the survivors they found to the outside of the city, where there were warm tents and delicious hot tea, which brought a little warmth to the numb people.

Rudolph gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let them go!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard nearby, and a boy of about twelve or thirteen suddenly rushed out of the tent and snatched a horse.

He seemed unable to ride a horse, with only one leg in the stirrup and his hands tightly holding the horse's neck.

The war horses are professionally trained and will not take a single step without a command.

The young man opened his mouth and bit the horse's neck hard. The warhorse felt pain and ran away.

Rudolph sighed and said, "He's frightened. He may be going to a relative's house. Let two people go with him. Don't make things difficult for him. If the place he wants to go is nearby, send him there."

Someone immediately caught up on horseback and brought the young man back after his anger subsided.

Snowflakes fell from the sky and the air was getting colder.

Black Egg was sitting in a carriage, his left hand wrapped in bandages, wearing a warm down jacket, and his right hand occasionally touching the ring on his belt.

This ring is the authority ring of the lord of Black Pine Town. Just like the down jacket on his body, it is a trophy after conquering the town.

Although they lost more than thirty people in this mission, the harvest was extremely rich. Not only was the car they brought filled up, but even the carriage they found in the town was filled to the brim.

Black Egg became excited at the thought that these riches could be exchanged for a title. He reached out and grabbed a captured girl, tore her clothes off, and enjoyed his spoils amid her screams.

The convoy moved slowly forward, with laughter, screams and cries heard from time to time.

The leaves in the forests on both sides of the road had already fallen, there was no bird singing, and the small animals had all fled early.

Black Egg sensed a hint of danger, so he turned around and called the animal trainer, asking him to release the jackdaw to scout the surroundings.

“Bang!”

The sound coming from afar suddenly brought back Black Egg's memory.

This was the sound made when the weapons used by the town lord's people were fired. At a distance of several dozen meters, more than a dozen strong warriors were killed at once.

But this was of little use, as they quickly rushed to a distance of more than ten meters and killed all those people with flying axes.

His recollection ended here as more than a dozen bullets with a diameter of 15 mm tore his body apart.

The flying down reminded Black Egg of the snow in his hometown.

The surrounding snipers began to aim at new targets and pulled the trigger. A powerful storm instantly erupted in the jet tank, pushing the bullet out of the barrel.

The soldiers lurking under the fallen leaves also started shooting, and snowflakes suddenly burst out from the bodies of the twenty or thirty people sitting on the roof of the car.

The drivers were given special care and almost all of them died in the first round of shooting.

Most of the positions were very well camouflaged and sound was blocked, so the bandits had no idea where the bullets came from, and the soldiers could aim and shoot calmly.

The bullets from both sides left the robbers with nowhere to hide. Count Weissen couldn't help but sigh in the small command post: "This is simply a hunt."

"Charge in two minutes. Let the boys get more familiar with the battlefield. There will be no peace in the future."

This ambush position was not very good. The terrain was flat and the trees blocked the view. The soldiers could only shoot at a point in front and could not form a cross-fire.

The terrain in this area is like this. The only advantage here is that there is a river behind.

Red flares fell into the convoy.

Hundreds of people suddenly stood up from the fallen leaves, all wearing black military uniforms, holding pea-shot rifles with bayonets, and their faces were painted with black and dark yellow grease.

This was the first public appearance of the Elbe Pact coalition forces.

Black Pine Town did not join the Pact, but the lord's father-in-law was a member of the organization.

That night, the Steamed Bun Bureau's station in Heisong Town immediately reported the attack. Coincidentally, Count Weisen held his first cocktail party of the winter that day, so everyone quickly agreed to send troops to avenge the families of their members.

Frederick's representatives also agreed to the action because the Steamed Bun Bureau site was destroyed.

They were very familiar with the terrain here, so they determined the route the robbery group must take and set up an ambush on the road.

The Allied Forces followed Wesson's tactics and held their bayonets at a distance during a bayonet fight. When they were ten steps away, they took out their revolvers and emptied their bullets first.

Most of the members of the looting group fell in a few minutes, and the strong leaders were all killed at the first moment. They had never seen such a scene before, and their morale plummeted, and they all fled.

Occasionally, a few brave men would dare to fight back and launch a counterattack with weapons in hand, but they would be quickly killed by concentrated fire.

Some of the coalition soldiers confirmed that the people on the ground were not pretending to be dead, while others chased the fleeing enemy towards the river.

Some people fled to the other side of the river, and Rudolf arrived with his knights.
