Chapter 211: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy

Soon after, the A regiment and the engineering team arrived in the small square, and the engineering company immediately went to work, first putting steel girders on the iron cables, and after the bridge was covered with steel girders, a worker drove back a bulldozer from the opposite bank to verify that the improvised bridge was usable, and the construction of the entire defense project began at the entrance to the abyss. Here Zheng Dong unleashed all the infantry fighting vehicles, and behind the combat vehicles was the construction site of the first line of defense.

Regiment A set up a cordon with infantry fighting vehicles, and selected the strongest fighters to guard it. More than half of the armored personnel carriers were used for the deep defense line behind the city wall, and more than a dozen were placed in a small square on the opposite bank as a place for medical aid and material storage. After the construction of the battalion for the soldiers of the whole regiment was completed, they also joined the work of the engineering company, which greatly accelerated the construction progress.

Six hours later, the high wall of the first line of defense stood at the entrance to the abyss of hell, and two cars could drive side by side on the wall more than ten meters high, on which ten anti-aircraft guns and four anti-aircraft machine guns were placed, and the remaining anti-aircraft guns were arranged on the high wall of the second line of defense on the opposite bank.

Zheng Dong took the commander of Regiment A to inspect the defense line, and arranged a new task, all the pits quarryed and dug at the entrance of the abyss were opened and connected into a protective trench, except for infantry fighting vehicles, all the diesel fuel of more than 50 armored personnel carriers was pumped out, packed in barrels and buried at the bottom of the trench, and at the same time, more than 200 meters at the entrance of the abyss, mines were planted and barbed wire fences were planted.

After doing this, Zheng Dong felt that it was far from enough, knowing that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles, and sent away the two bishops Alfonso and Murat, as well as Joagen and other commandos with a teleportation spell, Zheng Dong rode a motorcycle alone to the entrance of the abyss, at this time, hundreds of soldiers were laying mines there, after a soldier handed him a map of the minefield, he chose a route, took off a goggle from a soldier's helmet, lay on the body, started the locomotive, and went away with a "buzz" sound.

Zheng Dong's night vision ability played a role, all the way forward, dodging those boulders and ditches in the dark, accompanied by the roar of the engine, the sound of the wind and the crisp sound of the stone chips that were pressed by the tires and bounced on the stone wall, and walked for more than an hour, but still did not see any creatures or monsters.

Gradually, the smell of sulfur became stronger and stronger, and the temperature gradually increased, although the speed of riding was very fast, but the oncoming hot wind, sweat soaked through the clothes, and after another half an hour, the terrain was gentle, the field of vision was broad, thousands of miles of scorched earth, there was a city dozens of kilometers away, and the surrounding plains were floating everywhere were flying banshees, ghosts, wandering skeleton monsters and all kinds of monsters.

As they approached the city, they could be seen in all directions with teams of white spirits, driven forward by ghouls, most of the white phantoms were silent, occasionally weeping with their heads bowed, and all the teams gathered towards the gate of the city.

Zheng Dong immediately disguised himself into a scar-faced ghoul and rode his motorcycle to the city gate, where the motorcycle was parked on the side. He chose to walk into the city, if riding in it was too ostentatious and easy to attract attention. There was a huge three-headed dog at the door, which looked too similar to Da Zhuang, when Zheng Dong approached the door, the three huge heads all came over and took turns sniffing with their noses, Zheng Dong looked at it indifferently, he didn't want to do it here, otherwise the reconnaissance plan would be in vain.

The three dog heads muttered to each other "purr, woo", and suddenly the corners of their mouths grinned at the same time, baring their teeth as long as their forearms, revealing three identical extremely ugly smiles, and at the same time moving their fat buttocks, signaling that Zheng Dong could enter.

Zheng Dong nodded, walked into the city with his head held high, and muttered in his heart, could it be that he still had the breath of Da Zhuang on his body, which was recognized by the three-headed dog, and recalled that before leaving the parallel space, he did have a warm hug with Da Zhuang, because he left quietly, only Da Zhuang found him, saw him off, rubbed on his legs, is there still some smell of it on his legs, the three-headed Cerberus may have smelled the same kind of smell, and regarded him as a friend.

On the roads and on the walls, there are skeleton monsters with weapons patrolling. The city is unimaginably large, with a straight avenue leading to the horizon, and at the end of the view there seems to be a castle, and the scene of the city is very similar to that of the ancient street market, more like the architecture of medieval houses, with houses, shops and taverns on both sides of a straight avenue.

The inhabitants here are not humans, and the human soul is more like livestock being bought and sold. Zheng Dongxin discovered a skill that allowed him to take on the appearance of ghouls and understand the language of their demon world.

A ghoul in the form of a woman stood in front of the store, shouting, "The latest clothes, both men and women, are all sizes." Several monsters were drawn over, and the one-standing salamander cooed a few words.

The female ghoul walked into the shop and pulled out a handsome-looking male soul from the cage, the white shadow struggled to get out of the ghoul's control, the ghoul picked up a fluorescent stick and knocked it on the white shadow's head, and the white shadow fainted directly, the other end of the stick sharpened, turned upside down and swiped down on the white shadow, and handed it to the salamander who stood on the person, who put the white shadow on his body, and then turned into a handsome young man.

A handsome young man with a salamander tail stood in front of the mirror, looked left and right, very satisfied, took out a handful of white transparent stones and paid the fee, Zheng Dong looked at it, this thing is very familiar, it is a white crystal nucleus, I didn't expect it to be a currency in circulation underground.

He walked into a tavern, ready to inquire about the Legion of Hell. As soon as he entered, a monster that looked like a catfish came over, looking like a smile, because his mouth was open enough, and he asked politely, "Sir, what do you want?" ”

"Just have a drink." Zheng Dong found a table and sat down, observing the situation around him.

The tavern was almost full, there were all kinds of monsters, most of them ordered a large pot of vegetables and put it in the middle of the table, drinking the red or black liquid in the cup, "crunch, crunch" chewing something, and if you looked closely, they were holding things in their hands, and the things in the basin were all human stumps, to be exact, the limbs of white souls, they couldn't be regarded as cannibalism, it was almost the same as being called soul eater, but it was unknown why they could chew out the sound.

At this time, the catfish monster came over with a wine list, Zheng Dong looked at a bunch of inexplicable names, only recognized one Louis XIV, and the other drinks did not dare to try it easily, this should be no problem, he pointed and said: "That's it." ”

"Sir, are you sure that this wine costs ten blue crystal nuclei." The catfish monster looked at him with wide eyes.

"Someone ordered Louis XIV?" A voice from the monster exclaimed.

"Really?" More than a dozen gazes were projected, and Zheng Dong could feel envy, greed, jealousy, and even hostility.

Zheng Dong thought it was funny, most of the monsters were also poor, he took out a relatively large blue crystal nucleus, and asked, "Is it enough?" ”

There was another exclamation in the tavern, this piece of blue crystal nucleus fragment was worth more than twenty, the catfish monster's eyes lit up, he took it with both hands, and said honestly: "Enough is enough, you don't have any elbows or breast meat, to ensure freshness." ”

"Where?" Zheng Dong asked curiously.

The catfish monster trotted all the way, and when he arrived at the bar, he handed in the azurite fragments first, and then pulled out a beautiful and bewitching soul from a cage next to him, and said to Zheng Dong: "Which piece you want, which piece I will cut for you, it is a gift in our store." ”

Zheng Dong couldn't help but be stunned, why is it so like the world to eat boiled fish or grilled fish, the waiter in the store took out a fish to let you confirm the feeling of two catties, he waved his hand and said: "I'm too full today, just serve wine, by the way, what kind of crime have these souls committed, they can be sold here." ”

The catfish monster estimated that he had taken a lot of tips today, and he was in a happier mood, and patiently explained: "You are from other places, we can buy and sell souls here." This woman's crime is extravagance and lasciviousness, it doesn't matter what crime she commits, the punishment they receive in purgatory is similar to that here, in the underground world, as long as they complete the punishment they deserve, it doesn't matter where they are. Don't you really want to order it, it's delicious. ”

"You are too full before you come, so hurry up and bring the wine."

The catfish monster stumbled and pushed the trembling soul back into the cage and locked it. A moment later, it came over with a plate containing a bottle with an old lid and a crystal glass. When he was placed in front of Zheng Dong, he felt attention from all directions.

The catfish monster skillfully opened the wine bottle, poured half a glass of viscous black liquid, and bowed slightly, "You use it slowly." ”

was recommended to eat soul meat just now, and Zheng Dong also had doubts about this glass of wine, "Wait, please explain this wine." ”

"Oh, the main reason why this wine is so expensive, the raw materials are the main reason, not to mention that there is one less bottle to drink, the main raw material of the wine is made from blood------"

"What? Could it be ------ "Zheng Dong almost didn't go out directly."

"Yes, this wine has royal blood, it is the corpse of King Louis XIV from France, there is only a little blood in total, and there are only three bottles of wine, this is the last bottle, and the first two bottles have been drunk by the demon lord who has come here."

Hearing this, Zheng Dong was dumbfounded, it is better to eat some soul meat than to drink this thing, no, it is disgusting enough to think about it, "Okay, sure enough, this wine has a noble bloodline." ”

Throw a white crystal nucleus to the catfish monster and send it away, Zheng Dong looked at this bottle of "fine wine" that made the surrounding monsters salivate, and he didn't drink it, and he didn't drink it, and suddenly he had an idea, and said: "There has been a big war on the border recently, I came here to join the army, whoever has news about this to me, I will give it this bottle of wine." ”
