The alarm bells are dense and frequent, and it just so happens that the real power people attending the round table are all there, and there is no need to gather people.

Since you have to live or die, then bleed, and there is nothing to complain about.

Everyone got up in silence and quickly rushed to their respective posts.

Petty was sent to Braun and told the old goblin to send her home, and Saul and Staunt went out the door.

After three consecutive days of enemy attacks, it was inevitable that people in the territory would panic. Walking down the street shrouded in panic, Thor and Staunt glanced at each other, their expressions a little puzzled, because the direction of the alarm bell seemed to be north.

There are warning towers on all sides of the Free City, and it can be said that as long as the bell rings, it is basically possible to roughly determine the direction of the enemy based on the source of the bell, so as to mobilize troops and garrison forces more effectively.

But what is there to the north of the Free City? Except for the mines and mountains that lie behind the territory, there may only be the deep-sea fish-people left.

But judgment and speculation are at best used as references, and actual intelligence is the guiding point of battle.

Thor and Stint hurried to the north of Liberty City, where they were soon greeted by Staunt's men.

"Your Lord, Your Lord, there are a large number of enemies in the north from the sea. ”

"Among them, the number of fishmen is the largest, and the average strength is around the first and second orders. They are densely packed along the coastline, trying to break through the Kumur pit into the territory, and have now broken into the tunnels. "Report to the comer.

The Kumur Mine in the north of the Free City is named after the deep and shining meaning, and I don't know when it was named.

"Perhaps, we can use the tunnels in the pit to block the enemy in the main tunnel, and then attack them with fire or large through-bow arrows......" Stint muttered with his hands crossed, as if he had some idea that had not yet been formed.

The Large Piercing Bolt is a recent addition to the Blacksmiths' Guild, and is said to have been crafted from the Grey Iron Keep. The Grey Iron Fort has a long history, and is a medium-sized fortress on the border between the north and the south, currently in the hands of the Freedom League in the north.

However, the number of crossbow beds in the realm is not yet widespread, and Braun Old Goblin was originally intended to be used to defend the city in the future.

It would have been a good idea to use a crossbow bolt straight through the tunnel, but Thor thought about it and came up with a new idea.

"Maybe it's not good, the enemy is coming too quickly, maybe a large number of miners didn't receive the warning in time, or chose to hide in the depths of the mine temporarily. Once a large number of fishmen squeeze into the tunnel, their teams form a diversion and pour down the pit, the miners will be in danger. ”

"And once the fish-men enter the complicated mines, the post-war clean-up and search will be cumbersome. I think it's better to engage head-on, force their offensive back to the shoreline, and then collide with us on the beach. ”

"Besides, we don't have to crowd all of our people, tonight has just begun, to prevent another enemy from the wilderness. Saul said.

"Well, that's it. You go and give the order to Zaron and Sean each to the north with a knight order. The space in the tunnel is limited, so Zan Lun takes the lead, Sean prepares in the back, and the rest of the city's manpower is all to strengthen the city defense. Stant quickly ordered.

After waving off the heralds, Thor and Staunt hurried in the direction of the mines.

Hopefully, it's still too late to block the enemy in the first half of the tunnel, so the pit will be safe.

In the tunnel where more than a dozen people can walk side by side, the shouts of killing echo intensively, and the lighting is a little chaotic. The air was filled with a heavy smell of sea and blood, a disgusting mixture, and Stant and Thor cut straight into the battle line like two sharp swords.

In this kind of tunnel battlefield, which is not very wide, Thor and Stante relied on the suppression of individual strength to quickly penetrate the enemy's undense formation, and the miscellaneous fish on both sides were handed over to the knights led by Ziron, who had already arrived.

When I rushed out of the tunnel and smelled the salty smell of the sea, the scene in front of me was very shocking.

In the limited light of the torches, crowded and dense enemies spread all over the beach, directly obscuring the sea behind them.

Among them, the fish-man is an old opponent, and there are a small number of jellyfish monsters, mussel shield soldiers, sea beasts, low-level four-armed naga and other mixed troops, and occasionally you can encounter a few slightly high-level individuals.

In the past, these enemies would only clash with fishermen on the seashore, but this was the first time that they had raised troops to attack the territory.

Before everyone finished sighing, someone from the rear suddenly came to report.

"Your Excellency, the east of the Free City is under enemy attack, and the remaining men and horses in the Goblin Clan United City are fighting the enemy. ”

"What's coming?" asked Stint casually, unexpectedly Sol had guessed correctly.

"Tell you, my lord, it's also a fish-man. The comer replied.

"Fish-man!?" Stint's squinted eyes widened instantly, and he turned his head suddenly, almost not throwing off the chin-strapped helmet on his head. He felt that he couldn't understand it, how could there be a fishman in the wilderness, emerging from the soil?

"They must have come around the foot of the mountain, and it is estimated that the entire coastline is now full of fish people. Unable to find a breakthrough, some of them bypassed the mines that were crossing, but it was estimated that they would not be the main force. Thor voiced his guess.

"How's the battle going in the East right now?" asked Stant.

"My lord, the battle situation is a stalemate for the time being, but at the moment our troops are superior. ”

"You quickly turn around now, find Captain Sean of the Second Knights, and tell him that there is not much pressure on the coastline here for the time being, and let him bring some people back to Free City first to reinforce and continue to guard the city defenses. Stant conveyed the command.

"Teemo! Teemo!" Thor shouted from the battlefield instead of paying attention to Stant's plans.

"Hah, boss, what's the matter?" said Teemo, who was happily fighting in mid-air, flying down.

"You fly back now, call Lorna and Cletti to the east to help, and then you stay in the east and help me take care of them. Thor instructed that Lorna, Chletty, and Timo go to the east, which should be of some help.

"No problem, I'll take care of everything, boss!" Teemo quickly lifted off into the air.

The battle was not withdrawn until the next morning, and the shores were littered with corpses of both sides.

Many demon souls were scattered on the beach and swayed without wind, and no one cared, but the personnel in charge of cleaning up the battlefield used soul crystal containers to converge in a unified manner, and then gathered them to the military headquarters as daily military supplies.

Anyone can exchange a small amount of combat exploits from the military department for a demon soul, the price is much cheaper than the market price, but there are not many people who really go to exchange it, and the demand for demon souls on the road to promotion is never the biggest obstacle, and sleeping without certainty is.

There are still a group of second-order people sleeping in the territory, they are one of the few people who have put their lives in search of power, and it is unknown how many members of this group of Scarlet Cross members will eventually wake up.

After the tired guard battle, Thor felt a little irritable. He had been staying up for two days without closing his eyes, and finally retreated from the battlefield today, and just wanted to try to rest, but found that his insomniac curse had flare up again.

It's a terrible feeling, obviously mentally sleepy, but I can't sleep.

Thor didn't bother to go home either, continuing to the town hall to continue last night's meeting.

At this meeting, the participants at the round table said one after another that this kind of enemy attack for three consecutive days was absolutely abnormal. If the monsters of this dark continent really had such a dense frequency of invasion, the human race would have perished a long time ago.

Thor sat clasped his hands and was silent, in his opinion, the heated discussion was meaningless at the moment.

All of this is just unfounded speculation and does not provide any practical direction for the future planning of the territory.

At first, Thor suspected that the Dark Council was behind it, but he quickly denied it.

If the Dark Council really had the means to drive monsters to attack cities and plunder land, they would not be their worst enemies at the moment, and they could use this means to flood the Freedom Alliance in the north first.

The balance between the two forces is that neither has been able to kill the other for many years.

Once this balance is expected to be broken, it is believed that no one on either side will let go of this opportunity.

There is no need for the Dark Council to engage in any monster siege tricks, it is troublesome and complicated, they want to target themselves directly, and their fourth-order size is not worth this kind of slow consumption.

However, it is indeed not an accident that the territory has been attacked by enemies for three days in a row, and there must be some unknown reason.

In the end, it was Diller's side that unraveled the mystery, and Diller did not participate in the battle all day, but gathered intelligence from all sides.

When the information was piled up on the conference table, it dawned on everyone.

In the past few days when the city of freedom has resisted the enemy, different places on the entire continent have been attacked to a greater or lesser extent, and the monsters that have attacked are also of various scales. Among them, the small human settlements that were a little weaker were directly wiped out in this smoke of gunfire.

The truth is that this is not an isolated phenomenon in the Free City, but is happening on the entire continent.

The people who got this answer did not feel relaxed, let alone gloating, because these heavy information permeated with the smell of blood seemed to indicate that the wilderness environment of the continent was becoming worse and worse.

Since it's not a target, then everyone has nothing to say, so let's continue to sharpen our swords.

On the fourth day, before nightfall, everyone began to wait for the battle, but fortunately, the day was calm, and the monsters finally stopped for the day.

Since you can't change the environment, you can only take the initiative to adapt.

Over the next few months, the crowd gradually became accustomed to it.

Every day, at any given time, the bell of the territorial warning will ring.

In the past, enemy attacks were only at night, but now they are coming during the day. In the course of a few months, people have encountered all kinds of monsters. Zombies, skull rats, sandworms, devil-horned wolves, in short, there are no surprises.

The whole continent is in constant fear.

It seems that all the monsters are starting to be in a state of restlessness, and the overall environment of the continent is becoming more and more difficult.

Thor barely goes down the dungeon anymore.

Usually wandering the seashore and accumulating demon souls by hunting monsters such as fishmen, so that they can support the territory at any time.

These enemies, which used to appear only sporadically on the seashore, are now frequenting the seashore and killing them endlessly.

Time passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, it came the winter of 720 in the dark calendar, and the restlessness of the continent seemed to be alleviated by the heavy snow, and the people who had been struggling for more than half a year finally got a short respite.

And during this time, several major events also happened in the territory.
