|||->-> time was to be pushed forward to a few days ago, a few hours after Guan Yunlong's army had just crossed the border.

Chen Tianhao, who was in charge of border patrol at the time, quickly ran to the front and back of a certain guard tower and found a strange place in the guard tower. At the time, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Helplessly, Chen Tianhao stopped his horse and began to look blankly at the upright and upright watchtower that had just been built.

This......

"General Chen, what's wrong?" the little soldier who was following next to him realized something, and opened his mouth to ask.

They also stopped and drove their horses to run, and they all obediently came to Admiral Chen Tianhao's side.

Chen Tianhao didn't know how to answer, so he continued to look at the watchtower for a long time.

"General Chen......"

In the soldier's shouting again, Chen Tianhao finally came to his senses. He hurriedly explained, "Ah, I'm fine! Let's go in and have a look!"

So saying, he lifted the reins of his horse, and at a moderate speed, approached the watchtower in front of him.

The guard towers were all built by order of Marshal Shen Mengting, and Chen Tianhao was one of the core supervisors. It can be said that he can also be called the person who knows these towers best.

But......

The watchtower in front of me has a strange feeling no matter what, as if it is very far away from oneself. Chen Tianhao was a little stunned again, he didn't understand the reason for this thought. Maybe it's an illusion, or maybe it's just that you're too careful. But the feeling of palpitations in his heart stayed with him until he was completely approaching the watchtower.

'This watchtower...... It seems that he has completely changed, and there is a feeling of ethereal ethereal!' Chen Tianhao couldn't help but squint his eyes, and changed his gaze to the most careful state of staring at the watchtower.

However, when Chen Tianhao got off his horse and decided to officially enter the watchtower, he still dispelled all his previous suspicions. He didn't want to make the soldiers inside feel uneasy, which would affect the efficiency of the station.

"By the way, Second Lieutenant Li, let me ask a question!" As soon as he walked to the gate of the sentry tower, Chen Tianhao turned back to Li Muchun to ask for some questions.

"What's wrong? General Chen?"

"What is the number of this watchtower?"

"Ahh......h “

At the beginning, in order to find out the specific location of the guard towers more accurately, Chen Tianhao proposed to mark the guard towers by number. Since the number of the tower is 13, it means that it is about the middle of the border.

This position is relatively sensitive, and it may become a key breakthrough for the Sauron Empire.

So, Chen Tianhao went in to see what was going on with the determination to keep the watchtower.

The moment I first stepped into the watchtower, I felt unfamiliar again. Chen Tianhao just felt that the feeling given by this guard tower had long been unrecognizable.

'What the hell is going on?' Chen Tianhao walked to the center of the bottom of the tower.

"Hey, is there anyone? What about the soldiers at the watchtower here? Why don't you come out to meet them?" the soldiers shouted behind them, and their tones were rather domineering.

Chen Tianhao hurriedly sighed, and stretched out to remind the soldiers who followed.

The soldiers quickly closed their mouths and even curled up.

At this time, footsteps also sounded at the staircase, and a large group of soldiers began to run down. They still look relatively neatly dressed, and they don't look slack.

But after Chen Tianhao saw the large group of soldiers coming downstairs, the strange feeling increased again, and it was almost spreading from his heart to his whole body.

"This ......" Chen Tianhao moved his mouth slightly. But realizing that he shouldn't show a weak and confused appearance in front of his soldiers, he quickly discarded the doubtful appearance and turned to an extremely confident appearance.

"Ahh......h General!" among the soldiers who came downstairs, the first to take the lead and quickly made a respectful salute.

Hearing the soldier's shout, Chen Tianhao felt a 'chuckle' in his heart again. A large number of doubts had rushed to his head, making him suddenly a little delirious.

'It's weird, it's weird. This watchtower...... This watchtower ...... Chen Tianhao unconsciously began to look around, until his gaze fell on the guard towers in front of him.

"General...... General ......"

Awakened by many doubts, Chen Tianhao was able to focus his eyes again, "Ahh......hh You are here...... The watchtower guards here?"

As soon as he blurted out this question, Chen Tianhao realized what a stupid question he had asked. Isn't that the other party the soldier guarding the watchtower?

But......

More and more doubts and uneasiness piled up in his mind, and he was almost unable to breathe.

"Hey, I said what happened just now? Our generals have come to the watchtower, why don't you come out and approach? What the hell is going on?"

Suddenly, someone behind Chen Tianhao shouted loudly. He pointed the finger at the guards who were slow to receive them, and his tone was extremely vicious.

The guard tower also seemed to feel that it was a loss, not only lowering his head, but also making a cowardly apology, "Yes...... We're ......sorry! We ......"

"I'm sorry, it's a shame that we're here, if it was a Sauron soldier who just came, wouldn't you have noticed?" followed and continued to talk wildly, and a great deal of criticism spread through every corner of the watchtower.

"Right...... Sorry ......"

"What's the use of saying I'm sorry, but now it's a time of war, as long as you relax a little, you can ......"

"Okay! Don't talk about it anymore!" Chen Tianhao's rather tough sentence stopped the criticism of his follower in time. From time to time, he turned his head and followed behind him with a vicious glare.

This look was very useful, at least the people in the rear did not dare to speak much.

Chen Tianhao looked at the guards again, and he had the feeling of wanting to see through everything about the other party, "Okay! Let me ask you a question." When did you notice we were coming?"

The guards' bodies were all convulsive, as if they were violently exchanging breaths.

"Well, what's wrong? Didn't you all notice us?"

"No! we found out!" replied to a man standing at the rear of the guard, who at first glance knew that it was not an officer, but an ordinary soldier.

The guard towers seemed to understand common sense, too, and made way for those who spoke among them. In this way, it means that he directly faced General Chen Tianhao.

"Oh, did you spot us? So...... Why don't you hurry up and get out? I remember shouting at the time, and you ran downstairs in a hurry. ”

It's this guard's attitude, it's not a good thing! Chen Tianhao swallowed the second half of his words.

"This ...... The ......guards seemed to be speechless, and lowered their heads.

But in the next instant, one of the soldiers with different sizes of eyes stepped forward. He looked much calmer than the other guards, and he didn't look a little panicked.

"General, that's right. We had seen you come on horseback, but we didn't dare to run out. Because we need to hurry up and check the inside of the watchtower so as not to cause you to be unhappy when you come in!"

"Oh?" Chen Tianhao's body twitched back, which really explained why the guard tower came out slowly to approach him.

But......

It's still an extremely strange feeling, but at which point Chen Tianhao just can't grasp it.

'It's really uncomfortable!' Chen Tianhao was about to close his eyes and take a good rest.

However, just from what the guard with different sizes of eyes said just now, it does make sense. Whenever a leader comes to inspect the [River Crab], the soldier will first think about the working environment of his place, rather than really completing any task.

So, it's understandable that they'll run out slowly.

But Chen Tianhao still felt unsteady in his heart, and he didn't change his mind about having a strange feeling about the guard tower at all. He looked around again, but the effect was equal to nothing. He couldn't visually spot the oddities inside the watchtower, and it was hard to unfold even a vague spot.

I really can't make my heart happy, and Chen Tianhao also knows that it is not a way to continue to drag on here. In desperation, he could only issue some programmed warnings to ease the gap between himself and his subordinate guards.

"All right, I know all about it, and I can understand your behavior. But one thing I hope you can remember is that this is a very momentary time to do anything formal. Your tower guards' primary responsibility is to monitor the security of the border, and nothing else. Do you understand?"

Chen Tianhao also didn't know whether his admonition was useful, but at present, there seemed to be no other way than to get some formalistic language.

Most of the guards nodded their heads in response, and their faces were indeed full of remorse and sadness.

In this case, Chen Tianhao thought that there was no need to accuse anything, after all, the soldiers of the guard tower had been really uncomfortable and lonely in these days.

Therefore, Chen Tianhao doesn't have to blame anything, he is about to initiate the final words.

"So let's go, let's go, please continue to guard inside the watchtower and contribute to the country. Chen Tianhao looked at almost all the guards in front of him in turn, and it took about a minute during this time.

When the soldiers responded, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed. In particular, the officer of the guard, who took the lead, stepped forward with a smile as if he were making a final closing remark.

"The general is right! I will definitely use the general's style to complete the next task of monitoring border security. ”

Chen Tianhao didn't feel much when he heard this, he just nodded quickly, "Well, that's really good." After taking a deep breath, he prepared to turn and leave.

There was no sign of it continuing in the watchtower, and besides, he had already inspected more than five watchtowers before.

"So...... I won't delay you anymore, I need to continue to patrol the border. So, here we go, and you can continue your work here. Chen Tianhao's chest was lifted, and the cavity seemed to be full of air.

But when he exhaled his breath quickly, he followed with a smooth movement of turning.

He was indeed leaving, for there were still plenty of watchtowers to be seen in the north. Of course, patrolling the border on horseback is also his first task.

"Oh, the general is really hard, I'll send you out!"

"No!" Chen Tianhao raised his hand to stop the kind escort of the guard officer the moment he turned around, "Didn't I just talk about it? Just stay here and supervise the soldiers in the watchtower to complete their surveillance work!"

The guard officer didn't shirk anything, he seemed to have a kind of calculation that Chen Tianhao would say something to stop him, and his body stopped as if it was stuck in the ground.

"Alright then, my brothers and I will see off the general in the watchtower!" the guard officer quickly bowed forward.

A group of guards behind him also lowered their bodies in the same way.

Chen Tianhao didn't even look at them, but he still sensed the hypocrisy. Helplessly, he quickly twitched his mouth, and was about to stride out of the watchtower.

But before he could walk up a few times, he suddenly realized something. He quickly turned around like the wind, presumably because of his Assassin profession, and a breeze came out of his right shoulder.

When Chen Tianhao leaned on his side and looked at the many guard towers behind him again, the group of people seemed to be shocked, and even showed a hint of fear.

Chen Tianhao didn't know why they were so afraid, but he still raised his eyebrows and asked an afterthought, "By the way! I forgot to ask the routine question just now." Border...... Nothing is wrong, right?"

A few seconds passed, and none of the tower guards stepped forward to answer. In the end, it was still the soldier with different sizes of eyes who responded to Chen Ti's kind words.

"Tell the General! So far, there has been no movement. We found no sign of Sauron's soldiers, and nothing out of the ordinary. ”

"Oh?" Listening to the answer of the guard tower, Chen Tianhao was overdone. At this moment, he also seemed to feel that the question he had just asked seemed to be a formalistic question.

If there is a problem at the border, how can the guard tower here not light a cigarette to warn? It is even more impossible for the guards inside the guard tower to be so quiet, as if nothing had happened, standing in front of Chen Tianhao to be questioned!

So, nothing is going on here, and everything is as peaceful as if there was no war.

In that case, Chen Tianhao really didn't plan to stay here any longer, so he immediately nodded at the guards, "Okay then! It's best if nothing happens, I really have to go." See you soon!"

Quickly looking ahead, Chen Tianhao officially stepped out of the guard tower. He could hear the farewell words of the guards behind him, but he didn't respond anymore.

Although the watchtower is very simple, it is actually a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The moment Chen Tianhao stepped out of the door, the cold wind outside blew his cheeks and twitched. The feeling of cold winter is becoming more and more obvious, and there is not even a hint of entering spring.

Chen Tianhao turned his head to look at the surrounding environment of the guard tower again, he was not sure if it would snow in the future!

But just looking around like this, the strange feelings that had gathered in my heart before spread like a flood again. Chen Tianhao couldn't help but tighten his breathing, "This ...... This ......"

"General, what's the matter?" The reminder that followed next to him made Chen Tianhao come back to his senses.

When he withdrew his surprised gaze, he realized that he was still standing at the gate of the watchtower.

"General......

"Ahh......h I'm sorry!, let's go!" Chen Tianhao began to pace again, but he still turned his head from time to time to observe the whole view of the guard tower behind him.

As he distanced himself from it, the tower's appearance became taller and taller.

This is the feeling, although Chen Tianhao can be sure that this is the watchtower built by their Saran side. However, the appearance of the watchtower is a sense of distance, as if it is very unfamiliar.

However, judging from the results of the inspection just now, there are indeed some Saran soldiers stationed inside! I didn't see any strange places, so why did the strangeness come from?

The more Chen Tianhao thought about it, the more strange it became, until he came to the horse he had placed. He needs to get on his horse and go on to the next watchtower.

But just as he put his hand on the reins of his horse, he turned his head swiftly and stared intently at the watchtower, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.

At this moment, the length of the watchtower is about fifteen to twenty meters away from him. The specific atmosphere of the watchtower has not changed, but it makes people exude a bizarre and strange feeling.

"This watchtower...... It...... It ......" inadvertently revealed some intermittent words in his mouth, and Chen Tianhao's gaze became sharper and sharper. Although he still hasn't found the strange feeling that has been trapped in his heart all along. However, it seems that he already knows the general direction, and there is a feeling that he will soon grasp the final point.

There was a point of light ahead, but he couldn't walk to the light - this was what Chen Tianhao had in mind.

"General Chen, what's wrong with you......? It's like you're going on something?"

A question from the soldier made Chen Tianhao suddenly come back to his senses.

Chen Tianhao blinked quickly and began to stare at the soldier who was following the voice for a long time.

The soldier seemed a little frightened, and he also raised his voice 'ah', "What's the matter? General Chen?"

Chen Tianhao continued to look at the soldier, but the time did not stay longer than before. He began to look at the other followers, and soon after, asked a question that seemed to solve all mysteries.

"By the way! Let me ask you a question!" Chen Tianhao glared, "Do you all know the guards who were in the guard tower just now?"
