1150th Chapters Horn Sounded (2)
"Get moving, gentlemen. Every minute you work hard now gives you a better chance of surviving when the war breaks out. I don't mean to scare you. Unless you want to be food on the table of those aliens, especially Like you, Tom. Fat and lazy, aliens like it very much." A man in his forties stretched out a big, hairy hand, and patted the fat guy passing by him like a bear, and then A smile cracked across the bearded face.
The fat man complained: "Don't scare me, Uncle Harley, I've already worked very seriously."
"You're right Tom, you're a good mason, though you're fat and slow, and I'd be happier if you were a little faster." The man named Harley gave fat Tom a push: "Go Now, remember to make the wall more solid, and don't let those damn aliens fall down as soon as they are pushed."
They were on the wall of the mountain city. Although the wall of the mountain city was notoriously high and thick, Lord Remington, the lord of the city, was still worried and asked to raise the wall by five meters to resist the attacks of foreign races. Therefore, most of the masons, stonemasons and many workers in the mountain city were transferred to the city wall to form a huge construction team. Halley is the overseer of this team. He must ensure that the raised walls 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 dare not take it lightly, and must strictly control the progress of the project and the quality of construction every day. As long as there is something unqualified, he will order the craftsmen to modify it immediately.
The entire mountain city is in a state of mobilization.
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 and equipment as possible. Most of the men in the city were conscripted into the militia, 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 citizens were busy all the time, and Remington was not idle either. Ever since he became the lord of Shangshan City, he was keen to search for his younger 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 to prepare for a possible war. Remington's attention was diverted from finding Parson.
Now he was in the barracks, watching the soldiers training, and came to a corner of the barracks, where ten beast chariots were parked. Some engineers are conducting routine tests on these soldiers. These people are all from Allen's side. Remington walked over and asked, "Does anyone know how long it will take for Belmode to come?"
An officer bowed and said, "Hurry up, my lord. And this time Lord Allen will come together, at least that's what the message left by Lord Belmod said."
"Master Allen, he has come?" Remington nodded. "This is really good news. I hope he will bring more troops."
Let the soldiers go on with their work,
Remington left the barracks. He brought a guard to the vicinity of the city wall again, and now the place is full of scaffolding, and craftsmen are working on the shelves. Remington approached Harley and asked, "How is the project going?"
"Everything is going well, my lord." Harley assured: "They will be completed as scheduled, please rest assured."
"Hold on tight. After the city wall is raised, we have to push the catapults and artillery up."
"I see, my lord." Harley nodded and roared: "Listen, starting today, the working hours will be extended by four hours. You must move faster. If you want to survive, work hard for me!"
Remington nodded, leaning on the wall and looking out of the city. From here, you can vaguely see the tower a kilometer away. And towers like this extend all the way to the Lagma Mountains, spanning the entire Juying Heights. Remington thought, I hope the horns on the tower don't sound.
He prayed in secret like this almost every day.
But today, the gods turned a deaf ear and did not hear his prayer.
On the tower closest to the Lagama Mountains, a veteran bragged to two recruits: "When I was your age, I already killed a highland boar. You know that big guy, the size of a cow. Its tusks Teeth, I can make a hole in your belly. But it is such a big guy, it still fell under my knife. So there is no need to be afraid of aliens, and I doubt that those guys will really Appear? Our mountain city is not a big place, and capturing the mountain city may not be of any benefit."
"But I heard from my father that if the mountain city falls, the Lyon Mountain Road will be in danger. And this mountain road is the only way to the southern land, so if foreigners gather troops in the south, the probability of the mountain city being attacked is very high. ” Said a recruit who had just turned sixteen, his youthful youthfulness had not faded from his face.
The old soldier laughed: "I know your father, son. Old Jaeger is a blacksmith, when did he become a military strategist. Oh, if he is so capable, Master Remington must ask him to be the commander of the army. "
The recruit's face flushed red: "Father said, that's the news he heard, and it's very reliable."
"Okay, kid." The veteran shook his head and said, "My experience tells me that one thing is true only when you see it with your own eyes. The rest are just speculations. And speculations are always unreliable. "
Another recruit has been standing by the fence of the tower building since just now, closely monitoring the direction of the mountain. At this moment, the veteran said, "Why, little Tony, did you see wild wolves in the mountains? Don't be afraid, those things won't leave the mountains."
"No, those shouldn't be wild wolves." The recruit said anxiously, "Maybe you should come and see for yourself."
The veteran walked over with a frown, picked up the binoculars on the ground, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The recruit pointed in the direction of the mountain: "Over there, I seem to have seen a black shadow just now. But the speed is too fast, I can't see clearly, but from the outline, it doesn't look like a wild wolf or other animals. Could it be Yes"
He didn't say any more, but the meaning was very obvious.
The veteran raised his binoculars and looked in the direction his colleague pointed out. It was a trail on the edge of the mountain, but there was nothing there. The veteran muttered: "You must be delusional, there is nothing at all." While moving the binoculars, when his eyes shifted to the mountain wall on the left side of the trail, the veteran's expression suddenly froze. On that mountain wall, a thin and lean body was climbing up. The creature had dull copper-colored skin, which actually reflected metallic reflections in the sun. His spine was exposed strangely, and crescent-like bone blades protruded from both sides of his arms.
He seemed to realize that he was being watched, and suddenly turned his head to look at the veteran through the binoculars. So the veteran saw a bat-like face that was magnified many times, and the eyes that shone like ice chips on that face.
The telescope in the veteran's hand fell to the ground, he turned around and said in a trembling voice, "It's a blade demon, a foreign race! Quickly, blow the horn!"
The recruit sitting on the ground shivered, and hurriedly ran to the other side of the tower, blowing the horn hanging on the tower with all his strength. Hoo hoo hoo, the sound of the horn sounded from the tower and spread far away. A moment later, another tower a kilometer away also blew a horn, and then the horns followed one another. It spread rapidly on the Jueying Heights, and a moment later, Remington, who had just walked down the city wall, heard the horn coming from outside the city, and his body trembled.
What he feared finally happened.
It is also a highland, but the wild highland is much more peaceful. Since the empire's investigation team discovered that the ruins were of no research value, that team left the highlands, restoring the wild highlands to its former peaceful appearance. The large lake located near the ruins is now overflowing with water, and the sunlight shimmers on the lake, making the scenery extremely beautiful. Some gray-backed birds are hovering by the lake and on the tree trunks floating on the water, pecking at small fish in the lake or insects in the tree trunks.
Insects and birds chirped, and the highland atmosphere was peaceful.
Suddenly, a gray-backed bird seemed to be frightened, and it flapped its wings and flew up screaming. On the surface of the water under the bird, the clear water of the lake can see the bottom of the lake below. At the bottom of the lake, a huge eyeball suddenly appeared. A golden eyeball, and then the eyeball closed again, but then the lake surface began to shake. The flock of birds flew up in fright, and after circling in the mid-air of the lake for a few times in groups, they flew away to the distance. It's like meeting a natural enemy, with a bit of a sense of fleeing.
At this time, the lake water had already begun to boil, and bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake one by one, and burst open again. This vision lasted for half 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 head of long black hair floated to the surface of the water, and finally, someone raised his head in the lake.
It was an indescribably beautiful boy, his facial features were exquisite and beautiful, with a neutral beauty. It is worth noting that there is a golden vertical line in his pupil, like the reflection of some kind of beast's eyes in the sun. Then the boy clumsily swam towards the shore of the lake, as if he was using his hands and feet for the first time, his movements were full of serious incoordination. But he quickly adjusted his state, and when he was not far from the shore of the lake, he was already as skilled as a good swimmer.
He climbed onto the shore, accidentally not wearing any clothes, and there were still some whitish cortical layers hanging on his naked body, like old skin that had just fallen off. He looked at his hands and feet, stretching his fingers repeatedly, as if he was extremely curious about his body.
At this time, the ground near the great lake began to shake, and circles of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. Not long after, a gigantic beast emerged from the forest, crushed many trees, and stopped in front of the young man. The giant beast looked a bit like a turtle, but there were tentacles growing on the shell of the turtle. It squatted down on six thick legs. It stretched out its huge head and squatted gently on the boy's body, looking very friendly.
The boy jumped directly onto its head, pointed to the north, opened his mouth and said in a vague tone: "Go to that father, here we come."
