The sun sets.
The brilliant orange-red glow crossed the mountains and covered the forest. Brings a spotty shadow. The light smoke drifting in the distance, and the light wind blowing past, all give people a feeling of tranquility and peace. A freight wagon was walking on a flat, clean road. The driver hummed a little song lazily while waving his whip, driving the carriage toward the front. He narrowed his eyes comfortably, enjoying the tranquility and happiness of this moment. Although when I first came to do this job, I still felt a little sad because I left the prosperous city, but now, I seem to like some kind of life that is far away from this world. In the city, although the bustling and lively, but a quieter. Isn't life like this what I want now? If you can, if you can continue to live here like this, then it would be better... But, thinking of the rumors outside, the driver was still worried. After all, the Sith Empire is about to come to the door. By that time, how long can this quiet day last?
At this moment, the driver suddenly discovered that there were a few people coming in front of him. He immediately slowed down alertly and looked at the people in front of him curiously. After seeing the carriage coming towards them, these people also stood aside and stopped moving forward.
Shouldn't it be a robber?
The driver's heart was a little nervous, but he continued to walk forward daringly. Although he didn't come here for a long time, he also knew that the security of the Twilight Forest was good. What kind of thieves and bandits have been for a long time. Never appeared. Of course, that's what it says, but be careful, it's always right.
At this moment, the headed person walked forward a few steps, then made a gesture and stopped the carriage.
Is there really trouble?
Thinking of this, the driver was a little uneasy. However, the sky was not completely dark right now, and it was Qingtian Avenue. Even if those gangsters wanted to hijack, they would not choose this time.
"What's the matter?"
Thinking of this, the driver slowed down and asked. Of course, he also raised his vigilance and was ready at any time. Once the other party was in trouble, he immediately turned around and ran away—although he was able to escape or not.
"Is such that."
The headed man raised his head, revealing a weathered and tired face, which looked like a decent person, and the clothes they were wearing were also those cheap clothes. The weather was getting colder now, and the average person began to add clothes. , But by looking at these people, it is clear that they have not had time to prepare.
"You came from the Twilight Forest, then I think, you must know the City of Heroes? This is the case. My companion and I want to go to the City of Heroes to do some small business and sell our strength, but we are not familiar with life. …...... Could you please tell us how long will it take to reach the City of Heroes?"
It turned out to be directions.
Hearing this, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he carefully observed the people in front of him, frowning frowningly.
"You want to go to the City of Heroes now? It's very far away. If you walk alone, I'm afraid you can get there in the middle of the night. At that time, the city gate was closed long ago. You can't go in at all. Listen to me In short, it is better not to go to the City of Heroes, because the lords there have given orders not to accept outsiders."
This is also a decree issued by Youlian after the establishment of the City of Heroes, and it is strictly forbidden for any outsiders to settle in the City of Heroes without permission. Except for the original members of Twilight Town and the slaves he bought, the young lord does not seem to plan to need more immigrants. In fact, shortly after the establishment of the City of Heroes, there were many people living in unsatisfactory surroundings who were planning to come to this new city to find work and life opportunities. Among them are craftsmen, merchants, farmers, and of course, some thieves who are excluded, but no matter who they are, their application for admission is rejected by Yulian. All foreigners who come to the City of Heroes are only allowed to rent hotel rooms. In the City of Heroes, no one may provide accommodation and rooms to these outsiders in any way.
Of course, it is not that no one has violated the order. After all, the City of Heroes is not too small. In the eyes of many people, Tibetans are not a problem. As long as they stay longer, they can live here. There are also thieves who are not serious people at all, and do not need shelter, as long as they are allowed to enter the city, these people will go to find their own place.
However, it is somewhat surprising that no matter how deep these people hide, they will be dug out and then expelled from the Twilight Forest. After two visits, everyone was surprised, and it was not clear how the lord had done this. However, slowly, as the war approached, there were fewer people who wanted to become residents of the City of Heroes. Most people’s minds at this moment are how to escape to the farther south, and naturally they will not consider it again. come here.
However, there are always some poor people who can’t escape that far, but they can’t find a job in their hometown, so they have to bite the bullet and try their luck here. In the driver’s view, these people are Such a guy.
Therefore, in his tone, there was a little more ease and politeness.
"I advise you to go back as soon as possible. The heroic city does not accept outsiders at the moment, and... there is a curfew now, and the city will be closed after nightfall, even if the residents are among them, if they have not returned after twelve o'clock, If you go to the City of Heroes, you can only find a place to spend the night outside the twilight forest. You know, it is very dangerous after nightfall. If you want to find a place to work, don’t go."
"Thank you for your advice."
After listening to the driver’s persuasion, the man gave a grateful smile, and he nodded to the driver.
"My companions and I will consider it, but... the world is so difficult now, I am afraid it is not easy to find."
"Yes…………"
Thinking of this, the driver also sighed, then shook his head helplessly, and then smiled at these people. Then, he raised the whip again and waved hard-with the loud leather whip, the carriage slowly moved again. , Drive forward. Those people smiled and looked at the faraway carriage, even waving at it.
But when the carriage disappeared, these people who were smiling honestly suddenly turned cold, and then they quickly gathered together.
"The information provided in the information is correct, Captain."
A burly man with a dark face lowered his voice and said calmly.
"The city of heroes is indeed embankment and vigilant to the outside world. I really don't know what secrets they have and what to hide so tightly."
"This is exactly our mission this time."
The man who had spoken to the driver before was also serious.
"Adults sent us to find out exactly where this place is and what is happening. We must carefully investigate and present the complete report to adults."
In fact, these people are not refugees. They are the special secret elite troops among the "black teeth" of the three major legions of the kingdom. Specially responsible for collecting intelligence, assassination and so on. There are six of these elite troops in the dark teeth, and the members are all top-notch players. Although they may not be able to match many high-level professionals on the frontal battlefield. However, in this shadow, they have very powerful combat and reaction capabilities. This time, the most elite troops were sent to the Twilight Forest for reconnaissance.
"However, Captain, the night is coming soon. According to intelligence, since the lord left, the City of Heroes and the entire Twilight Forest have been closed and entered a curfew state. The defense must be very tight, I think we should be cautious Act, shall we wait until tomorrow daytime when we get in from the crowd?"
Someone hesitated and suggested, but the headed man quickly shook his head.
"No, if the driver said nothing, then there must be some unknown secrets inside the Twilight Forest. Didn’t the adults say that? Almost all the powerful fighting forces followed the lord to the front line, and In the twilight forest, there is not enough vitality to maintain the curfew. However, when they did so, it means that there must be something weird. If they can’t face the danger, then there is no way to get the most truthful information. So, we Be sure to leave at night, while investigating the secret of the castle, and find out the truth about the curfew! Don’t forget, we are here to investigate the true strength of the Twilight Forest for adults, if there is any doubt about this, then what else to do here ?"
Speaking of this, other people are not good to say anything. They just nodded, agreed, and then stopped talking. Anyway, for them, these things are not so tangled. After all, in this line of business, the dangers they encounter are much greater.
"well."
Seeing that no one had any more objections, the headed man also quickly issued an order.
"From now on, we will disperse our actions. From what the coachman said just now, no one will march into the City of Heroes during this period of time. We are not suitable for this kind of dressing up. From now on, we Immediately converted into a hunter and moved away from the avenue. Remember, if found, we are said to be the hunter for chasing beasts. As for what to say specifically, I think you are all very clear, so you don’t have to ask more. Remember, we have to be in Gather outside the city of heroes on time at midnight, and then proceed to the next plan. Anyone who does not show up at that time will be considered disqualified, you understand."
"Yes, Captain!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded together. And the man waved his hand in a serious look.
"Now, start acting!"
Soon, the crowd quickly dispersed and left. They disappeared into the shadow of the wood as quickly as possible, and disappeared. But on the road, at this moment, the previous indifference is restored. If someone walks through here again, then it is absolutely impossible for him to find out what happened here before.
Night fell.
With the last light of the sun disappearing under the horizon, the dark night officially became the protagonist, and the stars in the sky, together with the bright moon proclaimed at high altitude, became the new theme of the world. The white, soft moonlight is blurry and faint, but it gives people an illusory beauty. However, at the same time, in the forest that should have been occupied by shadows and darkness, there was a glimmer of light. It was the same faint light that was almost negligible, but it became more and more dense.
It's getting foggy.
The man frowned, and he once surveyed the climate of the twilight forest, where fogging often occurred, which would have a great influence on the horizon. In fact, this is what he was worried about in the operation. After all, there is no way to eliminate and change the fog. The Twilight Forest, after all, is a place that is too strange to them. At present, this kind of climate change is likely to bring unexpected effects.
However, he did not retreat. As the most elite unit, the most elite commander, and the most elite warrior in the Dark Tooth Legion, he has made numerous achievements and has never failed. No matter how bad the environment or bad conditions, he has achieved success, this time, it is no exception!
Soon, in the mist and night, a worm sounded, and they rose and fell with each other, and after the man heard these low sounds, his face was slow, and then, his hands before his mouth, issued the same sound. Soon, he saw several figures walking towards himself through the mist.
That's his subordinates.
"It's all here?"
"All here, Captain."
The man quickly glanced around, then nodded with satisfaction. He took out his pocket watch and carefully compared the time.
"So, let's go."
At the next moment, he quickly gave orders, and then, under the leadership of the captain, everyone entered the deep forest of the dense fog.
The fog is getting bigger.
As everyone advances, this feeling becomes more and more obvious. The inside of the Twilight Forest is not black, with five fingers outstretched, on the contrary, it is white and dazzling. Moonlight passes through the mist, and the radiance refracted makes the dense mist even brighter. At the beginning, everyone can see the people before and after themselves. But soon, they could barely see the dark shadow moving around them, and when they walked inward again, they could not even see the shadow. As if the whole world is left with itself and the white mist, there is nothing else.
If they are ordinary people, they might already be panicked in the face of such scenes. However, these people are members of a special elite force after all, although they also have fear, fear, worry, and uneasiness in their hearts. However, the fighting experience and rich psychological quality over the years have enabled them to put all these things to their hearts and carry out their tasks in the most calm and indifferent state.
However, even so, the psychological pressure this fog brings to everyone is far beyond the ordinary dense fog. I don’t know why. Everyone always feels that there is something weird in these mists. They feel that their actions do not seem to be as relaxed as before, as if someone is gently pulling their hands and feet, otherwise they will move forward. And, without knowing why, they always seemed to be able to hear a faint, almost inaudible call. And when they subconsciously want to concentrate on listening, they can't hear anything.
This is an illusion, this must be an illusion!
Almost everyone said to themselves in their hearts that they could not see their companions, and even their bodies had been swallowed by thick fog. However, they did not allow themselves to be scared. In their view, 100% of these strange phenomena are their own delusions, so they immediately began to follow their usual training, quickly converge their minds, and focus their attention to a little. And slowed down. Start to ignore the feeling of the body.
I have to say that this does have a certain effect. When the eccentric illusion did not appear after that, the speed of everyone seemed to return to normal again.
Moreover, they were surprised to find that the mist seemed to be thinner!
"It's coming soon."
While calculating the distance, the man said to himself silently. According to the intelligence description, not farther forward is the City of Heroes, and the city walls are not tall. If it is not a problem, it should be able to climb up. As long as it can enter the city, then use the intricate terrain , They will definitely be successful!
There is still a hundred meters...
There are fifty meters...
The fog began to thin out, and her sight was getting better and better.
There are ten meters...
The man stopped.
Almost at the same time, he saw his companions and his subordinates, and they also appeared beside him at the same time. Obviously, these people have safely passed through this thick fog and passed the test. But... the man still felt weird. However, instead of thinking too much, he turned his gaze and looked forward.
Subsequently, the man opened his eyes in surprise for the first time. Not only him, but his men also showed the same expression at the moment.
In front of him, it was not the wall he had imagined, nor the gate of that city. On the contrary, after passing through the thick fog, it was a patchwork but unusually quiet town that was displayed in front of everyone.
what happened? Doesn’t it mean that this is a town?
For the first time, the man felt a little anxious. He had never encountered such a thing. Although it is said that intelligence errors are common, it is too exaggerated to make such errors. In any case, the difference between a town and a city should be obvious. Moreover, that city should have walls. However, the small town at the moment is beyond the wooden fence and can't see any defensive facilities. On the only lookout in Zhenkou, there is no trace at all.
It's too quiet.
The man frowned, and he discovered the problem. In this town, there is no fire, and even the torch of the vigil is extinguished. Moreover, the average town will keep several dogs to patrol at night, but here, you can't hear any dog ​​barking-you can't even feel the breath of life.
Thinking of this, the man raised his head involuntarily, looking at the twilight castle at the back of the town-the castle at this moment was still hidden in the dense fog, leaving only a faint silhouette, still not showing any glory.
"Captain, next..."
"Scattered search!"
The man quickly made a gesture and interrupted his enquiries.
"Report any situation immediately!" (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
