Chapter 17: Emergencies

　　 "Diago, do you really understand what you are doing?"
Youssef rarely calls this mysterious man this way, but today he can no longer hide his inner anxiety and doubts. Behind him, piles of steel blocks are being unloaded from the locomotive, and then neatly laid It fits in a carriage.
　　 "I understand that now my brain is clearer than ever."
　　The white steam was disturbing between the two. Diago's face was somber and his voice was very firm.
　　 "Or to put it another way, do we have other options."
　　Yusuf sighed and stopped talking. He turned and walked outside the station. His face was still haggard and worried, and his steps were heavy.
　　 "I just got the news that Lawrence suffered a large and small setback in Shahomanda. It seems that someone was secretly helping the Tahenu people. I am afraid that the war will be over for a while...it will not end."
　　 The bad news from behind made Yusuf shake his footsteps and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Diego had already rushed to his side to support him.
　　 "My Lord Kaimon, why should we lash us so..."
The old man more than half a year covered his face with his hands and made a painful voice. Diago was also hesitant to tell the other party this bad news. After all, Lawrence's Legion is his only hope, but he still made cruelty. Decide, after all, false hopes sometimes give people unrealistic dreams. They must now face the reality, even the reality...
　　 "I have already contacted the Three Wizards, and they are also very concerned about the situation here. Soon a volunteer group of more than one hundred wizards will come to the fortress."
　　Although it was only a trivial comfort, it was always good news, and Yusuf's mood finally stabilized.
　　 "Sorry, as a commander, I can't be timid in front of others."
　　 "No, everyone's courage has its limits, and it is still in the face of those abominable monsters."
Rubbing his face hard so that his expression did not look so frustrated, Yusuf returned to the role of commander. The two of them crossed the station all the way to the other secret exit of the fortress, where there was a group The soldiers were ready to go, and they were all Yusuf's direct guards.
　　 "Ten days ago, old Connor died."
　　 "Is that... the Ranger?"
　　 Diego tried hard to search in his mind, and finally his memory was fixed on a corner water bag.
"Yes."
　　 Yusuf pulled out an old star badge from the pocket of his jacket, engraved with a horse with four feet on the wind, which is the unified logo of the Imperial Rangers.
"He is the oldest and best ranger in the fortress. His boys call him'Daddy'. Ten days ago they were ambushed while tracking a group of Oaks. Those beasts were hiding under the sand dunes. Something masked the smell, and Old Connor alone led away from Ok's cavalry and monsters. When the boys found him again, his sword was stuck on an Ok's head, leaving only some wreckage... and this ."
　　Accepting the badge delivered by Yusuf, Diago can clearly smell the above taste, the smell of blood.
　　 "Remember, Diego, we never fear sacrifice, that's where our value lies."
"I will."
Putting the badge in his pocket, Diego turned his head in the direction he was coming. A carriage loaded with goods was approaching here. He was going to work with these soldiers to transport supplies to the edge of the sinister wasteland. .
The secret door of the fortress opened quietly, and the soldiers escorted the carriage out of the fort for the first time. This was the first time many people were so close to the legendary nightmare. They could only listen when the Rangers were bragging in the tavern. Wherever he went, he now had to step on himself, and many soldiers looked nervous and uneasy.
　　 "You can remember to arrange a house over San Wu Hui, I will contact you at any time if there is news."
　　 turned over and straddled a warhorse, Diago just explained that he was about to leave, but Yusuf beside him suddenly held his reins.
"Diago, I still have to ask you again, do you really want to do this? Arm a Ok? If the guy named Guk is really as cunning and powerful as you said, then one day he will Will it not become a more terrifying threat?"
　　 "Look, Yusuf."
　　 Diego shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and pointed at the whole fortress.
"What do you have now? A fence built up by a pile of stones? A handful of soldiers still holding old rifles? Or your cannon? In front of millions of ok, nothing! You thought a million ok A million citizens of riots? Remember, they are monsters, and our bullets can only make a hole that does not hurt or itch on them. That's all...you can't count on the militia? I didn't mean to look down on any of them. People, but from the first moment they saw those monsters, I think they would never have the courage to return to the battlefield."
　　Youssef can't refute, he can only loosen the reins, but he is not without his own opinion.
　　 "But those oke are some undisciplined creatures, as long as we give them a head attack, they will run with their tails in their tails."
"Maybe, but soon there will be a second time, a third time... How many times can your fortress stay? Their numbers are increasing every moment, and they are not stupid beasts, they will never fail Learning."
　　 "You do understand them..."
　　 took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into Diego's saddle, but Yusuf began to worry about his old friend.
　　 "...but are you going to be the next Celius?"
　　 Celius, the famous legendary hero of the empire, is known as the "Last Kyna."
In the early period of the Empire, there was a serious threat from the northern barbarians. It was at that time that Celius was born in a noble family. His father was a border governor. In order to deal with the surrounding barbarians, Celius’s father sent his youngest son. Given the strongest barbarian leader at that time as a hostage, the youth of Celius was spent among the barbarians, where he learned to survive, war and conspiracy, and knew all the barbarians well.
He then returned to the empire with the help of his barbarian friend, the son of the barbarian chief, and took up important positions step by step, and by virtue of his military achievements, he stepped up to the most prominent position of the empire. A vast conquest is under way, and the spear is directed at the empire.
　　 In the end, in an epic fateful battle, Seleusis defeated his friend with the help of himself and his strategy and other barbarians, ending his dream of conquest.
　　 But Celius, who became an empire hero, did not end well. The emperor's suspicion and numerous rumors made him lose power first, and eventually lost his life.
　　 This is a somewhat malicious metaphor, but for Diego at this time, it is so similar.
　　 "I never think about these things. If there is too much to worry about, then nothing needs to be done. The Empire now has enough people to worry about it."
　　Finally, he went all the way, leaving Yusuf with a pity behind him.
"hope so……"
On the other side, Guk led thousands of elaborate young brothers out as early as nine days ago. Although Diago showed him the direction, but to find a specific place in the vast desert without too many signs, it was not Easy things. And the key thing is that the place is not close. Gu Ke kept sleeping day and night, and he hurriedly traveled nearly 80 kilometers every day. Fortunately, they were Ok, and they had enough physical strength to support this extreme strength march.
As for such an urgent reason, on the one hand, Guk needs a lot of metal that is very strong and durable, and on the other hand, to transport that batch of metals, he must go through the territory of a large tribe. Guk does not want to be in this process. What happened in the accident.
　　 "Boss! It should be forward."
Truv rode around Scrooge's Guck, and this time Gook brought him and his little brothers, and gave him the map left by Diego, Let him lead the team, the result is not bad, except for accidentally detouring in the middle.
　　 "Very good! Hurry up! Can't let our human friends wait!"
The boys behind answered Gu Ke's words with a smirk, and even the farts who were driving the cart laughed. Gu Ke brought the remaining part of the cart of the Bloodfang tribe this time, which was close to Hundreds of cars, because he doesn’t know what the number of 10 tons is.
　　 "Head! I have to say that the human looks as bad as the "red face". He used to be around me. Before that, the stinking Sculp lost the other day was probably the one he stole!"
　　The green teeth came up from behind. The ‘red face’ in his mouth refers to Grak. Because he didn’t like to clean up the blood on his body, it caused coagulated blood clots and blood spots on his face, so he got this nickname.
　　 "I'm wondering why the idea is so stinky... It turned out that I took something from you."
"Ok!"
　　 Green teeth spouted fire in his big eyes, and he turned around on Scrooge and turned back, but Gook immediately slapped his head.
　　 "What an anxiety! Go back and beat him again! Do the important things first."
Green tooth has just finished, Turuck in a chariot has a new problem. He is a guy who likes speed. In the past, the once cumbersome big car has been changed to a single-handed light car. In addition, Scugel also changed into two horses, much faster than before. The violent racing that recently emerged in Blackstone was started by him and several other guys with similar interests.
　　 "Head, these days I have gone too fast, the boys are too tired, and Scrooge has to take a breath. If something happens later, the big guy will have no energy and it will be bad."
　　 Outside of racing, Turuk is actually a very smart guy, perhaps because of the frequent dealings with technician boys, there is a lot of basic logic in his brain that Oak lacks.
"Well……"
　　Gook raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was full and there was still some time before dark. Diago and he agreed on the evening of the tenth day at the latest.
　　 "Okay! Take a break for all!"
When the boys heard the words, they all lay on the ground, and the green teeth came down from Scrooge, and began to arrange for the fart to feed Scrooge. Truf and his younger brothers faced each other in a circle. The map pointed, and Turuk took a bag of wine from the car and threw it to Guk.
　　 "Head, where did those humans come from?"
　　 "I don't know, but it must be from the outside."
　　 The cool liquid moisturized the dry throat, and Guck felt a lot of fatigue from his body~EbookFREE.me~ I was thinking, that guy is not a good bird. "
　　 "Neither are we."
　　 A few mouthfuls of the wine in the bag, Guk threw it back to Turuk.
"I don't know what he wants to do, but I only need to do what I want to do. When I have enough kids, we will crush all the idiots around me! The boss has enough one for me, by that time... "
　　 said, Gook leaned back and fell asleep directly on the back of the giant Scrooge, and the monster also fell on the ground very well.
　　 A large group of Oks fell asleep like this, only Truf and his younger brothers were still energetic on guard until...
　　 Bang Bang ~!
Suddenly, there was a subtle sound in the distance, which seemed to be familiar, Guk's ear trembling slightly, but his consciousness had not yet woken up from the dream, and now he was communicating with some strange guys in that hazy world , Although he didn’t know what was communicating...
　　 "Boss! There are circumstances!"
　　 Feeling that someone pushed him around, Gu Ke finally woke up, he straightened up quickly, and shouted:
　　 "Fools! Stop sleeping!"
　　 All the kids jumped from the ground like a stabbed, and took out their weapons and looked around.
　　 "Boss, yeah!"
　　 "There is movement!"
　　Gook also heard a slight sound in the distance, he remembered that it was the sound of the thing called Diego in the hand called the gun, and the source was the direction they wanted to converge!
　　 "Not good! We have something to do with something! Let me go quickly! Quick!!!"
　　The words were not finished, Goog took the lead and drove towards the place, and other boys followed him.
