Chapter 270 Strikes Again
According to Gawain's original plan, Soldrin should stay in the territory for a short time, responsible for providing him with information on the Typhon Empire, and by the way, the news related to Gawain Cecil back then came out, but the plan could not keep up The change, the instability of the Great Wall barrier made everyone feel a sense of crisis. In order to figure out what was going on on the Elf side as soon as possible, Gawain had to ask Solderling to leave the territory first and find a way to communicate with the big 6 south. to get in touch with that ancient empire.
Before Soldering came out, Gawain found him and asked the elf ranger's plan: "Where are you going from?"
Solderling did not hide: "The Silver Empire has not many monitoring points set up in the northern part of Great 6. The most recent two are near the border of Ansu West and Typhon Empire. To be honest, the Ansu West is still too far away. I'm going to go to Typhon."
Gawain glanced at Soldering: "In your current situation, won't you be beaten to death when you return to Typhon?"
"If a high-level ranger doesn't want to be caught, there are 10,000 ways to jump right and left under the eyes of ordinary border guards." The little wolf general was caught. I was only captured by you for a few days, and I didn't surrender. How did she deal with me? Besides, I'm just a mercenary, not a Typhon. "
Now that there is no one else around, Solderin doesn't mean much in front of someone who knows the mystery of his strong man, but his undisguised statement still makes Gawain's eyelids jump: "You Are you sure you're living so comfortably with me that you haven't surrendered?"
"Of course, I haven't officially returned to the Cecil Legion yet, so naturally it's not a surrender." The expression on Soldrin's face was extraordinarily serious, obviously he didn't mean to joke at all when he said this. General Wolf has no reason to blame me - I can wait until I get back from Typhon to surrender."
Gao Wen: "..."
Soldering's statement sounds like a literal joke, but in fact it's not that he's making fun of a scumbag - it's all because the logic of the elves is like this, and in some inexplicable places, the elves' thinking is Very peculiar.
However, Typhon's Winter Wolf Corps may not necessarily agree with Soldering's straightforward thinking.
Soldrin himself knew this, so after expressing his opinion, he made a whole look: "I will try to avoid the Typhon people's eyeliner as much as possible - this is not difficult, except for the people of the Winter Wolf Legion, There are not many people who know me there. I have a route to cross the border. As long as I reach the silver elf stronghold between the Typhon Empire and the Gondor wasteland buffer zone, I am equivalent to entering the territory of the Silver Empire, and I am safe. already."
"Okay, since you have a plan, then I won't say more," Gawain gave Solderin a deep look, "I hope you have a smooth journey."
Soldering solemnly put one hand on his chest, bent over and said, "I swear in the name of the ancestor of the elf that I will return after the matter is done."
Then he straightened up, turned and walked towards the door of the study, but just as he was about to push the door out, he suddenly stopped - Gawain sensed the presence of Knight Philip's breath outside the door at the same time.
In the next second, there was a knock on the door, and Knight Philip's solemn and slightly rushed voice: "Sir, urgent military situation."
"Come in," Gawain said loudly, and when Philip entered the door, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
"There is news from the sentry tower of the Dark Mountains, it is an aberration," Philip glanced at Soldrin who was standing at the door, and then quickly reported, "The number is about 2,000, and it is still increasing, and there have been Huge entity never seen before."
Gawain's face suddenly became solemn: "A huge individual? How about a general description? How is the enemy's progress?"
"Extraordinarily swollen humanoids, between five and seven meters in size, there are not many, only four or five, but the aberrations around them are obviously more agile and agile, and they are suspected to be individuals similar to the commander - but there is no such thing for the time being. Wisdom signs are observed. As for the overall progress, it is similar to the last aberration, and it will take about three to four days to reach the border of the territory. At present, the sentry of the first sentry has been withdrawn-to prevent the aberration from sensing the human breath After that, the action suddenly accelerated, and now only the second and third posts are left to observe the enemy's movements with binoculars."
"It seems that you can't go away for the time being," Gawain gave Soldrin a deep look, "I'm in some trouble here."
"I understand, you mentioned the reincarnation of those guys," Soldering silently walked back to the center of the room when he heard Philip say the word "Aberration", and a trace of a trace appeared on his face at this time. Smile, "Our old foe, isn't it?"
Gao Wen also smiled slightly: "If you haven't beaten them for seven hundred years, is your hand born?"
Solderin raised his hand and made a few movements of pulling the bowstring: "I still remember the feeling of the hand seven hundred years ago. I can solve at least a hundred of them by myself. The remaining 1,900 are for you."
"The number has passed the threshold, and their number will continue to increase. When they reach the defense line, there will be more than 2,000." Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, "But the main force of the battle will not be you and me, it's time for you to see Let's take a look at the strength of the Cecil Combat Corps - Philip, sound the alarm according to the plan, arrange the positions outside the city, take back the southern engineering team, and prepare for defense!"
After Knight Philip left, Gawain turned to look at the window: "Amber!"
Amber's figure immediately jumped in from the window: "Here, here, here~ I heard you!"
"Go and call everyone who should be called, I'm busy again!"
Moments later, loud and continuous bells rang throughout the city.
Alarm bells with specific meanings echoed over the whole city. Whether they were on vacation or on duty, they immediately ran to their posts according to the rules of the bell and what they had learned in their usual training. They appeased the workers as soon as possible, and ordered the team leaders of each team to end their work ahead of schedule and return to their homes to stand by. They themselves went to the nearest emergency assembly point and waited for the next step.
In this way, everyone became active at the same time, some returned to their homes to stand by, some went to the designated assembly point, some went directly to the southern city wall, while batches of security personnel ran from the station in each block. came out, running through the streets and aloud the concise "emergency needs to know" - all as rehearsed long ago.
Of course, some people panicked when the alarm bell rang. Most of them were the last batch of new residents who joined Cecil Land before winter. Although they received basic common sense education, they did not catch up with the drill about the aberration attack. But these people were quickly appeased—the ubiquitous vigilantes and the deliberately scattered "old residents" would tell the new neighbors what had happened, and the residents who had lived through the battle for the new Cecil At this moment, they were the most calm. Not only did they not panic, but they could also judge the current situation from the bells according to the knowledge they had learned in advance: the bells were two short and two long, which meant that the enemy was still far away And it will arrive in a few days, and the city will be preparing for the battle in an orderly manner.
This is a fairly "stable" situation.
The experienced residents, judging the situation from the bell, began to tell those new neighbors what to do next: maintain order, wait for the lord's orders at home, and be ready to support the defenses of the territory within their means, which is every Responsibilities and obligations that the people of Cecil must bear.
Since setting up camp in this barren land that is almost at the border of human civilization, Cecil Land has always been ready to face challenges. The first Cecil Land defense was just the beginning. After that, Gawain. They have never relaxed the drills for preparing for war with the residents of the territory - different from peaceful times or countries of peace, this frontier must always be prepared for the whole nation to fight, and once the war really breaks out, have the residents done sufficient war preparation drills? It could even decide the life and death of this territory, of course he did not dare to relax his vigilance in this regard.
But not everyone will understand what Cecil has brought.
In the prisoner-of-war camp north of Knights Street, a dozen Typhon soldiers, knights, and mages are still locked in their cells.
They have been imprisoned here for a few days, but apart from the daily interrogation, these people have not been subjected to any abuse, and the so-called prison cells are converted from sturdy old barracks, and have added early warning magic inside and outside. It's just an institution, and the living conditions are not bad at all compared to ordinary barracks.
These captured Typhon soldiers thought that they would face an extremely cruel test after being caught by the legendary Duke of Ansu, but they did not expect that they would not be sentenced to hanging or beaten after that, except for the restriction of freedom. In addition, they received treatment that could almost be described as "favorable". After thinking about it, they felt that this was probably what Soldering had won for them - the elf ranger was obviously an old acquaintance of the founding hero of Anzu. In exchange for these prisoners of war who should have been executed, they were given unbelievably favorable treatment. Facing this kind of treatment, the mood of the Typhon warriors was extremely complicated.
With complicated moods and nothing to do, all the captured Typhon warriors can usually do is to think about their lives and discuss how long they and others will continue to be imprisoned.
They were having this discussion just before the alarm bell rang, but they stopped immediately after the alarm bell rang.
A Typhon knight suddenly stood up, listening to the bell outside, with a surprised look on his face: "What happened outside?"
"I don't know, it sounds like an alarm," a mage also stood up, trying to get his face close to the deliberately raised window inlaid with fine steel bars, he wished he could summon a mage's eye to look outside However, there are runes and traps dedicated to monitoring mages everywhere inside and outside the cell, and you can only ask for trouble by mobilizing magic power at will, "I saw a lot of soldiers run out of the barracks!"
"Alarm? Soldiers are being transferred?" The knight who spoke before was stunned, and his face suddenly showed joy, "Could it be that our people are calling? The war has started ahead of schedule?!"
"Impossible, even if the war started from the East Wolffort defense line, how could the army reach here from the border line in a short period of time," another knight said immediately, "Maybe it is suppressing slave labor... After all, it is Newly established pioneers."
The third knight also stood up and lowered his voice: "This... will it be an opportunity?"
The people in the cell suddenly quieted down, and their eyes began to look around anxiously, as if they were afraid that the words said in a low voice would also reach the ears of the Ansu soldiers who were standing guard outside.
"...Our success rate in escaping is not high," the last mage who never spoke finally broke the silence, "There are Ansu people everywhere, have you noticed the discipline of the soldiers outside? Even if the situation is chaotic, they It won't give us a chance."
The knight who spoke just now was a little unwilling: "But if you don't run now..."
Before the knight could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the door: "If you run away now, I really can't save you!"
The Typhon warriors were taken aback. They noticed that Solderin had been standing at the door at some point. The high-level elf ranger looked at the "subordinates" in front of him and sighed for a long time: "Actually, I don't want to. come."
