"Hurry up, sirs. Every minute you work hard now, you have an extra chance to survive when the war starts. I'm not frightening you. Unless you want to become food on the table of those alien races, especially Like you, Tom. Fat and lazy, foreigners like it very much." A man in his forties stretched out his big hairy hand and patted the fat guy passing by like a bear, and then A smile cracked on the bearded face.
The fat man complained, "Don't scare me, Uncle Halley, I'm already working quite seriously."
"That's right, Tom. Although you are fat and slow, you are a good mason. If you move faster, I will be happier." The man called Harley pushed Fat Tom. "Go Well, remember to make the wall more solid and don't let those aliens push them down."
They were on the wall of the mountain city. Although the wall of the mountain city was already known to be tall and thick, Lord Remington, the lord of the city, was still worried and demanded that the city wall be increased by five meters in order to withstand foreign attacks. Therefore, most of the masons, masons and many workers in the mountain city were transferred to the city wall to form a huge construction team. Harley is the overseer of this team. He must ensure that the heightened wall can be completed within the deadline and can withstand the baptism of war. If he can't do this, he will lose his head. Harley dared not take it lightly, and strictly controlled the progress of the project and the quality of construction every day. As long as there is a little unqualified, he will order the craftsmen to modify it immediately.
The entire mountain city is in a state of mobilization.
The soldiers in the mountain city conduct rigorous training in the camp and outside the city every day, and the fire in the weapon workshop does not stop for a moment, producing as many weapons as possible. Most of the men in the city were requisitioned as militiamen, responsible for support and logistics during the war. Most of the merchants in the mountain city chose to leave, and no merchant was willing to stay in the city that was about to become a battlefield, except for those whose family members were in the mountain city.
The leaders are busy, and Remington is not idle. Since becoming the lord of the mountain city, he was keen to search for his brother Parson at the beginning. But Parson never appeared again as if the world had evaporated, and then various orders came from Allen's territory, asking the mountain city to mobilize and prepare for a possible war. Remington's attention shifted away from the search for Parson.
At the moment he was in the barracks, watching the soldiers training, and came to the corner of the barracks, where ten beasts were parked. Some engineers are conducting routine tests on these soldiers. These people are all from Alan's side. Remington walked over and asked, "Does anyone know how long it will take Belmode to come?"
An officer bowed and said, "Come on, sir. And Lord Allen will come together this time, at least that's what the message left by Lord Belmode says."
"Master Ellen, is he here?" Remington nodded, "This is really good news, I hope he will bring more troops."
Let the soldiers continue to work, Remington left the barracks. He took a guard and came again near the city wall. Now it is full of scaffolding, and there are craftsmen working on it. Remington found Harley and asked, "How is the project going?"
"Everything went well, sir." Halley promised: "They will be completed as scheduled, please rest assured."
"Be careful. After the wall is raised, we will have to push the catapult and artillery up."
"I see, sir." Halley yelled, "Listen, starting today, the working hours will be extended by four hours. You have to move faster. If you want to survive, do it all for me!"
Remington nodded, holding the wall to look out of the city. From here, you can vaguely see the tower one kilometer away. And towers like this extend all the way to the Lagerma Mountains, spanning the entire Juying Heights. Remington thought, I hope the horn on the tower will not sound.
He prayed so secretly almost every day.
But today, the gods closed their ears and did not hear his prayers.
On the tower closest to the Ragma Mountains, a veteran and two recruits brag: "When I was your age, I had killed a highland boar. Know that kind of big guy, it's as big as a cow. It's a dog. Tooth, you can make a hole in your stomach. But it’s such a big guy, it’s not under my knife. So there’s no need to be afraid of aliens, and I doubt that those guys will Appear? Our mountain city is not a big place. It may not be of any benefit to capture the mountain city."
"But I heard my father say that if the mountain city falls, the Lyon mountain road is dangerous. And this mountain road is the only way to the south to the mainland, so if the foreign race gathers troops in the south, the mountain city is likely to be attacked. "A recruit who just turned sixteen said, his face has not yet faded from the youthful greenness.
The veteran laughed: "I know your father, boy. Old Jaeger is a blacksmith, when did he become a military strategist. Oh, if he wants to be so capable, Master Remington must ask him to be the commander of the army. "
The recruit's face flushed red: "Father said that it was the news he heard, and it was very reliable."
"Okay, kid." The veteran shook his head and said, "My experience tells me that only what I see with my own eyes is the truth. The others are just speculation. And speculation is always unreliable. "
Another recruit has been standing by the fence of the tower since just now, closely monitoring the direction of the mountain. At this moment, he said, the head of the veteran: "Why, little Tony, have you seen the wolf in the mountain? Don't be afraid, those things won't leave the mountain."
"No, those should not be wild wolves." The recruit anxiously: "Perhaps you should come and see for yourself."
The veteran frowned and walked over, picked up the monocular telescope resting on the ground, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The recruit pointed towards the mountain: "Over there, I seemed to see dark shadows just now. But the speed is too fast, I can't see clearly, but from the outline, it does not look like wild wolves or other animals. Will it? Yes"
He did not go on, but the meaning was very obvious.
The veteran raised his binoculars and looked in the direction pointed out by his colleagues. It was a trail on the edge of the mountain, but there was nothing there. The veteran muttered: "You must be dazzled, there is nothing at all." As he moved the telescope, his expression suddenly froze when he shifted his sight to the wall on the left side of the trail. On that mountain wall, a lean and capable body was climbing up. That creature had a dull copper-colored skin, which actually reflected metallic reflections in the sun. His spine was strangely exposed, and on both sides of his arms were stretched out crescent-like bone blades.
He seemed to find that he was being watched, suddenly turned his head, and looked at the veteran in the binoculars. So the veteran saw Zhang's face that looked like a bat magnified many times, and the eyes that shone with ice flakes.
The telescope in the hands of the veteran fell to the ground, and he turned around and said in a trembling voice: "It's a sword-blade demon, an alien! Come on, blow the horn!"
The recruits sitting on the ground slammed their spirits, hurriedly ran to the other side of the tower, and blew the horn hanging on the tower with all their strength. Ooooooo, the horn sounded from the tower, and it spread far away. After a while, another tower a kilometer away also blew the horn, and then the horn sounded one after another. It spread rapidly on Jueying Heights. After a while, Remington, who had just walked off the city wall, heard the horn from outside the city, and his body shook suddenly.
What he was worried about finally happened.
The same is the highland, the wild highland is much quieter. Since the imperial investigation team discovered that the ruins were of no research value, the team left the highlands, returning the wild highlands to their former tranquil appearance. The big lake near the ruins is now overflowing, the sun shimmering on the lake, and the scenery is beautiful. Some gray-backed birds wandered around the lake and on the tree trunks floating on the water, pecking at the lake fish or the bugs in the tree trunks.
Insects and birds sing, and the atmosphere on the high ground is quiet.
Suddenly, a gray-backed bird seemed to be frightened, and it flew with its wings flapping and screaming. On the surface of the water under the bird, the clear lake water can see the bottom of the lake below. Just at the bottom of the lake, a huge eye suddenly appeared. A golden eyeball, and then the eyeball closed again, but the lake surface began to vibrate. The flock of birds flew up in fright, and after circling a few times in the middle of the lake in groups, they flew far away. It was like encountering a natural enemy, with the smell of fleeing.
At this time, the water of the lake had already begun to boil, and bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake and broke open again. This vision lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually stopped. After a long time, a series of bubbles rose in the center of the lake. Then a long black hair came to the surface, and finally someone raised his head in the lake.
It was an indescribably beautiful teenager ~EbookFREE.me~ His facial features were delicate and beautiful, with a neutral beauty. It is worth noting that there is a golden vertical pattern in his pupils, like the reflection of the eyes of a certain beast in the sun. Then the boy swam awkwardly to the lakeshore, as if he used his hands and feet for the first time, his movements were full of serious dissonance. But he quickly adjusted his state, and when he was not far from the lake shore, he was already like a great swimmer, with extremely skillful movements.
He climbed onto the shore, unexpectedly without wearing any clothes, and there were still some white leather layers hanging on his naked body, like old skin that had just fallen off. He looked at his hands and feet and stretched his fingers repeatedly, seeming to be extremely curious about his body.
At this time, the ground near the big lake began to vibrate, and the surface of the lake was even more rippling. Not long after, a giant beast emerged from the forest, straddling many trees, and stopped in front of the boy's eyes. The behemoth looked a little like a turtle, but there were tentacles on the tortoise shell, and six thick legs squatted down. It stretched out its huge head and gently squatted on the boy's body, looking dear.
The boy jumped directly on its head, pointed to the north, opened his mouth and said in an unclear tone: "Go to that father, here it is."
