Chapter 478 Ambush
Northern Ukraine, the border area between Tosep and Adus.
The dazzling sun hangs high in the sky, and the scorching hot sunlight is scorching the earth fiercely. Under the scorching sun is the dry and barren land. It is all yellow at a glance, and there is almost no movable object to be seen. Except for the Mercedes-Benz steel behemoth that is spewing thick smoke and roaring forward, there is only the eagle flying high in the sky.
Along the long railway track, the Desert Arrow, fully loaded with cargo, was moving forward all the way. Now it has been a day and a half since the Desert Arrow left Kankedal. Not long ago, it had crossed the border of the Kingdom of Topsey and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Adus.
Although it has crossed the border, the environment in which the Desert Arrow travels has not changed much. It is still surrounded by endless desert. Occasionally, it stops for a while at some town or station to replenish coal and water. Most of the other time period, the train is in a hurry. In this way, the entire train rushes all the way to northern Ukraine and deeper into the inland.
At this time, the place where the Desert Arrow was traveling was a wasteland. On both sides of the railway in front of it, you could see two not-so-high stone mountains. Behind the stone mountains was a deep canyon. A long iron bridge spanned both sides of the canyon, connecting the railway where the train was traveling to the other side of the canyon.
On the two stone mountains in front of the iron bridge, behind several huge rocks on the top of the mountain, several figures were crawling on the ground, hiding behind the huge rocks.
They were all men, wearing the traditional long robes and headscarves of northern Ukraine. The long headscarves not only covered their heads but also their faces. Each of them carried a rifle on his back. Near the bridge, there were several people guarding a bomb detonator that could only be seen in a mine. The detonator line extended under the stone mountain and onto the iron bridge.
Ambushed on the top of the stone mountain, this group of men stared intently at the railway in the direction of Tosep in the distance. One of them was looking at the end of the railway in the distance with a telescope. At this time, through the telescope, the man could see the heavy train humming and spewing thick smoke.
"Just like the intelligence, the target has arrived on time. Everyone, get ready! Once the car reaches the bridge, detonate the bomb!"
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, the leader-like man gave stern orders to his men beside him. All the people around him began to stare intently into the distance, watching the thick black smoke column approaching them at high speed.
With the buzzing sound resounding in all directions, the Desert Arrow quickly approached the stone mountain and the iron bridge in the distance. The figures lying in ambush on the stone mountain waited quietly, waiting for the moment when the train passed through the canyon between the stone mountains and entered the iron bridge.
Suddenly at this moment, there was a cry of an eagle in the sky. The eagle that had been circling in the sky suddenly dived down at this moment, and rushed straight towards the people who were ambushing on the stone mountain. At this moment, everyone in the ambush was focusing on the rapidly approaching train, and they did not notice the eagle flying rapidly above. The eagle was holding a small cylindrical object in its sharp claws. From one end of the cylinder, several wires extended out and wrapped around the eagle's claws.
When it flew over the group of ambushing people, there was a flash of lightning on the eagle's claws, and then the black fuse was ignited. The eagle then threw the explosives to the ambushing people below. When it was still two or three meters away from the crowd in mid-air, the burning fuse finally burned out, and then a strong explosion broke out.
"boom!!"
There was a loud roar on the desolate rocky mountain. After the dazzling and expanding flames, the thick smoke formed by the explosion instantly covered the entire mountaintop. The loud explosion sound instantly spread in all directions, and the passengers on the oncoming train also heard the loud noise.
"What happened?"
In a dining car in the front carriage, the special envoy group's guard knight, who was dining there, a man named Spare who was about thirty years old, stood up suddenly after hearing the sound. Two or three seconds later, one of his guards immediately ran over from the car in front of Kank through the interface and reported to him.
"Sir, there was a sudden explosion on the rocky mountain ahead!"
"explode?"
After listening to his men's report, Spare was slightly startled, and then he immediately walked to the side of the carriage, opened the window with one hand, and looked outside. Then he saw the thick smoke lingering above the stone mountain in the distance.
Under the extraordinary vision of the "lamp", Spare could see a number of panicked figures rushing out of the thick smoke. On another rock, there was also a group of people in a mess. Spare could clearly see the rifles on the backs of this group of people.
Seeing that scene, Shispare frowned, then immediately retracted his head into the window, and then gave a serious order to the subordinate who reported the situation.
"Notify the driver's cab to make an emergency stop immediately! After stopping, everyone get out and stand guard!"
"yes!"
The sight returned to the stone mountain. After the violent explosion, the entire stone mountain was shrouded in thick black smoke. Bursts of miserable screams were heard from the black smoke. Many people fled in panic from the black smoke. Many of them were covered in blood and even limped, covering their wounds and howling non-stop. Before they were ready to blow up others, they first experienced the feeling of being blown up.
On top of another stone mountain, the sudden explosion on the opposite side also shocked them. They who were originally lying in ambush stood up one after another and shouted to the opposite side to inquire about the situation, but they did not know that their actions this time would expose them to other crises.
Suddenly, with almost no warning, gorgeous blood flowers burst out from the chests and heads of those who were still able to stand on the stone mountain. These ambushed people felt the pain of being pierced through the body with their eyes wide open, and it was not until they fell to the ground that they heard bursts of loud gunshots echoing in their ears.
In the distance of the rocky mountain, the Desert Arrow, which had stopped after emergency braking, was parked on the railroad track. On both sides of the huge locomotive, guards wearing priest-style military uniforms were lined up in several rows, holding rifles in their hands and shooting at various militants a few meters away.
These dozen guards were at least an apprentice-level extraordinary person. With the support of extraordinary strength, they used their efficient shooting skills to harvest lives in large numbers at a long distance. In the chaos, they defeated the ambushers in the distance. In front of the shooting team, there were already several figures approaching the stone mountain in the distance at a rapid speed. After the long-range shooting, the close combat would begin in less than a minute.
