Chapter 8: The Dilemma of Hanyao City

Early the next morning, while the people in Wild Snow City were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of last night's Ice and Snow Festival, everyone from Tiannan Academy came to the teleportation array leading to Hanyao City early.

It wasn't until today that Lin Daodao didn't know that the teleportation array in this world had a distance limit. Each teleportation array can only lead to the neighboring main city in their respective directions, and it is not possible to teleport across the main city for the time being. And if the two main cities are far apart, then the waypoint will naturally be arranged in the wild.

According to the game's setting, the area around the field teleportation point will be protected into a safe zone, but what happens outside the safe zone may not be determined.

Fortunately, Wild Snow City is not far from Hanyao City.

Lin Daodao was the last to pass through the teleportation array, and by the time he came out, Jiang Ye had already gone with Mao Si to greet the city lord of Hanyao City. According to previous experience, this kind of occasion to welcome the prince must be in the city lord's mansion, but after Lin Daodao asked clearly, he found out that Jiang Ye and Mao Si went directly to the north city wall.

The vast glacier is white, and Hanyao City seems to be frozen in this endless ice and snow, even on the roofs of buildings, there is snow that does not melt all year round. The snow on the road has already been guessed to be solid, so you have to be careful not to slip on the road.

It is really not a good choice to defend the city in such an environment, and seeing that there are few pedestrians on the wide road in the city, Lin Daodao immediately shook his head.

Since Jiang Ye and Mao Si had already gone to the northern city wall, it was naturally not suitable for these people to go to other places.

Lin Daodao thought about it and discussed it with a few other people, and then also headed towards the north city wall.

There was no obstacle all the way, even if they came to a place full of defenders under the city wall, Lin Daodao and his party still did not encounter any obstacles, and even had defenders to lead the way.

"It seems that it has made it a lot easier for us to come here at night. Lin Daodao couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, I'm the same. Nolan was full of melancholy, "If I go to the city wall, you still have someone to lead the way." ”

"Which of these people here can't do it?" Shu Qian replied lightly, and what Nolan originally wanted to say was suddenly blocked in his throat.

Walking up the steps outside the city wall, Lin Daodao noticed that there was no snow on these steps, and all of them had been swept away early. The walls of the city tens of meters high turned into a solid shield against everything from the glaciers of the northern plains, and the defenders in front of them seemed to merge with the wall.

Similarly, Lin Daodao also noticed that the defenders on the northern city wall at this moment seemed to be much worse than the data marked on the Jiangye map. However, Lin Daodao didn't say anything, and everything had to wait until he saw the city lord.

It would take a little time for the city wall of more than ten meters to climb up, and after Lin Daodao brought the people from Tiannan Academy and Warlock Academy to the city wall, when he saw Jiang Ye and Mao Si chatting with a middle-aged man with a beard.

Jiang Ye heard the sound of footsteps, looked up and immediately beckoned: "Brother Lin, here." ”

The bearded middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, and his surprised gaze immediately fell on Jiang Ye's body.

"Brother Lin, let me introduce you, this is Yuan Xiao, the city lord of Hanyao City, who has been stationed here for more than twenty years. After Jiang Ye finished speaking, he introduced to the bearded man, "City Lord Yuan, Senior Mao Si is the commander of these people from Tiannan Academy and Warlock Academy this time, but Brother Lin is the real commander. ”

Lin Daodao still clasped his fists and saluted when he heard this, although the group of people around him didn't understand the meaning of this action at all, but it was enough to understand that it was a greeting salute.

"Lin Daodao, a freshman in the command department of Tiannan Academy, in the next time, I will ask Senior Yuan for more guidance. ”

Yuan Xiao shook his head when he heard this: "I just heard from the third prince about you, and being able to become a recognized teaching assistant of Tiannan Academy in the second semester as a freshman is enough to prove your strength." Young people, it's not simple. ”

Yuan Xiao actually wanted to say that it was not easy to be called Brother Lin by the third prince, but these words were not easy to say, so Yuan Xiao naturally gave up.

"City Lord Yuan, there are a total of two hundred and fifty people from Tiannan Academy and Warlock Academy this time, and their strength is above the seventh order. To put it bluntly, since this group of people is here, all the City Lord Yuan can be regarded as his soldiers, and how to deploy them is also up to the City Lord Yuan to decide. Lin Daodao said seriously.

"Okay. Yuan Xiao said with a happy face, "I just chatted with the third prince, but I didn't know that Tiannan Academy had sent so many elites over, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need." ”

Lin Daodao asked in surprise, "Elite?"

Yuan Xiao immediately understood Lin Daodao's doubts, and then looked around and said, "There aren't many defenders in Hanyao City whose strength exceeds the seventh order. ”

"How is that possible?"

Lin Mi pulled the sleeve of his little brother, these common sense problems are indeed Lin Daodao's shortcomings, in order to avoid being too embarrassed, Lin Mi immediately explained: "Lin Daodao, do you think that everyone in the Tiannan Empire is from Tiannan Academy?"

"The gap is so big?" Lin Daodao said in his heart, and then remembered the situation in Shuiyun Town back then. At that time, Lin Daodao did not see many defenders who exceeded the strength of the seventh order, but Lin Daodao only thought that a small town like Shuiyun Town did not need masters.

Yuan Xiao saw that Lin Daodao's face showed a sudden expression, so he turned his gaze back to the snowfield in the distance.

"The beast tide started to assemble three days ago, and the gathering speed was extremely fast, who would have thought that this caused an avalanche in the valley in front of it, but the road was blocked. ”

"It's the fourth day now, and according to expectations, the beast tide is almost coming, since you are here to help us resist the beast tide, then I'm afraid there won't be much time to rest in the future. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, obviously mentally prepared before coming here.

"I was supposed to find the City Lord's Mansion to entertain you, but now that the situation is urgent, I can only let you come directly to this city wall. Brother Lin, since you can become an assistant teacher in the command department of Tiannan Academy, I don't know what you think of the current predicament of Hanyao City. ”

Yuan Xiao said and looked at Lin Daodao, Lin Daodao was stunned for a moment, he never thought that this Yuan City Lord actually had the idea of teaching himself.

"Teaching assistant or something, it's just talking on paper, it's really about resisting the beast tide and defending the city, we naturally have to listen to City Lord Yuan. Lin Daodao shrugged and said.

"It's just an opinion, Brother Lin doesn't have to care. ”

Lin Daodao nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "Last night, the third prince gave me a map, I originally wanted to complete the topographic map, but who knew that the third prince gave me a map. After coming here today, I found that the number of people in the city defense was a little less than the mark on the defense map, I wonder where the soldiers who should have been here have gone?"

Yuan Xiao smiled deeply: "What does Brother Lin think?"

"There are a total of 10,000 defenders in the entire Hanyao City, and the north city wall, as a position to face the beast tide, is naturally a key place for defense, so there are 4,000 defenders. Although they are usually stationed in rotation, they are not the only ones. ”

Lin Daodao said just Yuan Xiao: "City Lord Yuan, being able to send the defenders of the northern city shows that the task of these people is definitely more important than the current defense of the city." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Xiao finally straightened up, "What can be more important than defending the city?"

Lin Daodao tilted his head and asked, "City Lord Yuan, how long can the food and materials in Hanyao City last?"

"Why does Brother Lin ask that?"

"If it weren't for the fact that the food and materials were not enough to last for enough time, why would City Lord Yuan send troops to transport food and materials at such a juncture?"

Yuan Xiao immediately stretched out his thumb: "Amazing, Brother Lin, what else do you see?"

"Aren't you afraid that my thoughts will affect the morale of the military?" Lin Daodao asked curiously.

"Haha, do you think the soldiers here haven't seen anything before, just a few words, how can they affect the morale of the army?"

Lin Daodao nodded, and then continued: "The reason why City Lord Yuan is in such a hurry to transport food and supplies is obviously that he has prepared for the worst. And the worst plan is nothing more than to make Hanyao City a lonely city, and City Lord Yuan is already ready to defend a lonely city. ”

"What did you think of after coming here?" asked Yuan Xiao with a smile.

Lin Daodao shook his head: "When I got the map yesterday." ”

"Okay! is worthy of being recognized by Tiannan Academy, and he has already guessed the predicament of Hanyao City before he arrives in Hanyao City. Yuan Xiao exclaimed, and then said: "It's not easy for young people to think so much before they come here. And you know that Hanyao City is about to become a lonely city, but you still choose to come here, your courage is commendable. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, since the reinforcements from Tiannan Academy and Warlock Academy have arrived, let's take everyone to the place where we live. The conditions in Hanyao City are difficult, and we ask for your understanding. ”

Jiang Ye nodded: "That's right, then the deployment of our people will be up to City Lord Yuan." ”

"The three princes are serious, so many masters appear here, naturally it is a hole card. Yuan Xiao said and turned around and pointed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

"There is a place to live near the City Lord's Mansion, and the weather here is extremely cold, if you are not used to this cold, you will not be able to stand it when you first come here. ”

Jiang Ye Wenyan looked at the people behind Lin Daodao, and sure enough, he saw that most of them couldn't stand the cold here. Not to mention the others, even Saya himself felt that his feet were numb.

"It's fine. Shoya nodded.

"So, please come with me, everybody. ”

Yuan Xiao said that he led the way down the city wall, and Lin Daodao only heard a sound of inhalation behind him, obviously because it was frozen.

Hanyao City is very large, but there are not many people in the city, and it can even be said that there are not many people in Hanyao City except for the defenders. Therefore, the lack of materials in Hanyao City is also normal, and similarly, there are many vacant houses.

The simple building has no aesthetics in it at all, the tower-like building is the so-called City Lord's Mansion, and the bungalow next to it is the residence of the people of Tiannan Academy in Yuan Xiao's mouth.

It was obvious that the house had not been inhabited for a long time, so the tables and chairs looked extremely old. The moment he opened the door, Lin Daodao even smelled a musty smell.

Jiang Ye frowned, but he didn't say anything, only after Yuan Xiao left, did he show a somewhat painful expression.

"Brother Lin, I just went to see it, and everything here is left over from a long time ago. The bedding is already damp, what should I do?"

Lin Daodao looked desperate: "What else can I do, since I came here, this environment is naturally something that I can guess a long time ago." Two hundred and fifty men...... Wait a minute, I'll recover my magic and summon a futon bed for each of you. ”
