Chapter 44: Wolf Smoke
Taking the border between the Balloon Man and the Terran as a reference, the frontier fortress built by the Balloon Man is more than 30 kilometers long, and a stone fortress is built every few hundred meters.
A large wall of rock is attached to each other, which is used to increase mutual support between forts and defend against enemies.
Behind the fort, there are scattered low houses, which should be the reserve camp of the balloon people.
Looking at the past from afar, the fortress and the rock wall and the reserve battalion are connected to form a complete defensive line, which is quite a little bit of the grandeur of the Great Wall.
Lin Zhi and the small bones, one big and one small, slowly walked towards the reserve camp at the back of the fortress.
In Lin Zhi's perception, the first female who might be Little Bone's mother was in the reserve camp in the middle position!
"Huh?"
Lin Zhi looked from afar, only to see a large frontier fortress on the right, a billowing red beacon wolf smoke rising up, as if he was passing some news to other fortresses.
"Is it such a coincidence, that there is going to be a war?" Lin Zhi still walked slowly.
Even if the balloon man really fights with humans at this time, it is none of his business, anyway, Little Bone's mother is already in the range of perception, and it is completely impossible to have any dramatic accidents!
Da-da-da-da?
The small bones pulled the leg bones of La Lin Zhi, and the white bone palm pointed to the rising beacon fire in the distance, revealing full curiosity.
"According to our undead bone clan, it is called beacon fire, seeing that there is no fortress in front of it that is connected in a straight line, it is too slow to rely purely on people to run back and forth to convey the news, so we use the smoke of fire that can be seen from a distance to transmit the news. ”
The reason why Lin Zhi knew this statement was thanks to the allusion of the "Beacon Opera Princes" in history.
Of course, that's all he knows, and there's no way to go any deeper.
Dah?
Xiao Gu lowered his head and thought about it, and soon, he raised his head and looked at Lin Zhi again, and the white bone palm pointed to the other quiet fortresses, and then pointed to the beacon fire in the distance.
The meaning is probably why it is just a puff of red smoke, and the people in the other fortresses know what it means.
The faint blue flame in Lin Zhi's eyes jumped.
God knows how those balloon people saw it!
He coughed lightly, he didn't know, but as Little Bone's father, he felt that he couldn't let Little Bone's not know that he didn't know, so he had to pretend to know very well.
"What does it mean, see the color of the smoke, different colors represent different information. It also has to do with the density of the smoke, if you take a closer look, the shape of the smoke rising into the sky is a bit similar...... Forehead ......"
"Like a skull?!"
After looking carefully, Lin Zhi himself was stunned.
Originally, he was thinking that he could blow something out of it, but anyway, the little bones were stupid and wouldn't delve into it so much.
But who would have thought that the red beacon smoke on this fortress actually looked like a skull!
How can this be explained?
Could it be that the red undead are coming to attack?
How is it possible, at the other end of the balloon Terran front, it is obviously the Terran!
Dada?
Xiao Bone pointed to the red smoke skull that slowly floated into the sky without any surprise, and looked at Lin Zhi's hollow eyes, and there seemed to be a deep light of expectation flickering in his eyes.
If you rake it, you must know the meaning of the red head!
Ahem.
The dark blue flame in Lin Zhi's eyes swayed, and now he suddenly wanted to have a flesh-and-blood face, so that at least he could swell his face and make himself fat, and deceive himself.
"This ...... Well, well, it's only the high-level undead bone clan who can know the secret, and there are too many explanations, I'm afraid you can't bear it at the moment. ”
Da-da-da, da-da!
Xiao Gu first lowered his curious gaze regretfully, and then bowed slightly to Lin Zhi, happily walking on the yellow earth.
"The rake is so good to me, not only does he know everything, but he also thinks about me at all times. ”
That's probably what it thinks in its heart......
The brief interlude passed as the red fireworks dissipated, and Lin Zhi continued to advance on the arid yellow earth with small bones.
At the same time, on the fortress that emitted a red beacon fire.
Bertrel, the top-tier balloon man with a large iron chain on his shoulder, breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the dissipating beacon fire.
He untied the bottle behind him and took a sip of the spirits to suppress his shock.
After seeing the Immortal Bone Clan in the battle city, he immediately deduced that the other party might go to the frontier fortress, and immediately encouraged all his efforts to go.
He was looking for the closest route between the battle city and the frontier fortress, while Lin Zhi and Xiao Gu took the closest route to the first mother, so the two sides did not meet halfway.
"Great, my lord, the news has been passed on according to your intentions, and after receiving the news, the various fortresses will not take action against any undead bone clan who appear behind the fortress. A young balloon man looked puzzled and asked, "Is that undead bone clan really so powerful, even if you are here, you can't restrain it?"
He had just joined the war, and his strength was only at a low-level level.
In his eyes, the top-level warrior is almost an invincible existence under the king, and such an existence is actually afraid of an undead bone clan?!
"Nonsense, I haven't seen that guy yet, but they can kill ......," Bertrell said halfway through, and quickly stopped.
He has a very fiery personality and wants to talk about it whenever something happens.
But this time the news is very serious, once it leaks, it is very likely to bring panic to the soldiers of the fortress, causing the entire battle line to collapse, so even if he breaks his teeth and is stuffy, he can't say it.
On the side of the battle city, the news had already been specially explained when he came out that it was going to be completely blocked.
"People can kill a high-level demon in seconds, even if I am right, I have to take it seriously. ”
"It's not malicious, so let's lower our posture. Do you think this fortress can withstand my full strength?"
is worthy of being a natural braggart, and Bertrell immediately rounded back what he said, and pretended to be forced by the way.
In terms of braggadocio and cheekiness, he is at least the strength of the top rank!
"I see, the adults are thoughtful, but the subordinates think too simply. In the hearts of the young warriors, the faith in the top warriors has become firm again.
After his nerves relaxed, he thought for a while and said, "But please don't worry, my lord, I once overturned a big mountain with my bare hands, and if you really want to fight, I can provide you with some help!"
"Hahaha. ”
Bertrell smiled and patted the young warrior on the shoulder, and changed the subject: "It's better not to, the king and the king of the Terran empire have agreed that the top ranks of both sides are not allowed to participate in the war." If I leak my breath, God knows how many pots those sinister and treacherous Terrans will withhold on my head!
......
On the other hand, opposite the frontier fortress, inside the base camp of the Terrans.
"Red skulls, what kind of conspiracy are these damn balloon people playing!" a high-ranking Terran general in steel armor sat down at the large round table and said loudly, "Nolusha has been gone for so many days and there is no news at all, do they really think we need to lower our profile?!"
"General, I propose to go into battle immediately to support General Nolusa!"
"Support General Nolusa!"
"Support General Nolusa!"
Around the round table, more and more generals in armor shouted loudly.
On the main seat, the grim-faced general hesitated a few times, and finally raised his palm and slapped it heavily on the round table.
"Everyone, bet on their own glory, prepare the whole army, and go with me!!"
