In the morning light, looking horizontally, I saw three black lines appear in the western sky, one on the other.

The three black lines are advancing rapidly in the direction of Ximei Mountain, and the distance is getting closer and closer.

As they got closer, the three black lines seemed thicker and longer.

When the three black lines are advanced to a certain distance and look at them at a depression angle, it can be clearly seen that there are three spacecraft queues, three huge shield-shaped spaceship queues, overwhelming, with the east and west directions in sight, and the north and south sides can not see the edge.

The top line of shield-shaped ships consisted of no less than 30,000 ships, each of which was filled with orc sergeants.

The half-orc sergeants on each battleship were of a different race, with some warships standing all human-like wolf-headed half-orc sergeants, some battleships standing all human-like bull-headed half-orc sergeants, and some battleships standing all human-like centaur sergeants.

In short, there are orc sergeants of any race on the battleship. Although they are of different races and different shapes, they all have one thing in common, that is, they hold soldiers in their hands, and they are murderous, and their pupils all radiate a bloodthirsty cold and faint light.

In the middle is a shield-shaped queue of transports, consisting of all flat ellipsoidal transports, with a total of no less than 20,000 ships.

Each transport ship was about the size of five warships.

On the periphery of the shield transport ship queue, four circles of battleships were guarded.

Each ship was also filled with orc sergeants of different races.

The bottom shield ship queue, like the top shield ship queue, is also composed of all kinds of warships, with a total of no less than 30,000 ships, and each battleship is full of orc soldiers of different races.

The three shield-shaped spacecraft marched forward at a rapid pace, reaching speeds of at least 1,750 kilometers per hour.

However, after a while, the three shield-shaped spaceships flew over the east, north, and west Meishan and Baimeiling, and flew over the Alishan Pass, like three overlapping broad and boundless dark clouds, flying towards the east at extreme speed.

When the three shield-shaped spaceship queues disappeared into the eastern sky, the four adult male elves in the east, north, and west of the three Meishan Mountains and the sky above Baimei Ridge moved, and disappeared into the void one after another.

Hot Springs Off, Golden Gate.

The hot spring pass is as wide as 15 kilometers from north to south, and the golden gate reaches the mountain on the south side of the hot spring pass in the south, the mountain on the north side of the hot spring pass in the north, and the turbulent layer of the void energy on the top is huge.

The Golden Gate's circle control center is located in the middle of the bottom of the Golden Gate.

Two kilometers north of the Circle Control Center, at the bottom of the golden gate, there is an arch eight meters high that only allows two carriages to pass side by side.

This arch is the only passage for the Star Continent to enter and exit the Cloud Continent.

The golden gate is located in the middle of the hot spring pass. On the east side of the Golden Gate, 500 meters away, the Seventh and Twelfth Army Corps of the Military Affairs Office of the Principality of Diamonds built two rows of masonry barracks, which remained parallel to the Golden Gate, and stretched from the mountain on the south side of the Hot Spring Pass to the north side of the Hot Spring Pass.

After the Fourth Legion of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office and the Fifth Legion of the Lango Federation Military Office were stationed at Hot Springs, the two rows of barracks changed owners.

Nebula Ephemeral Year 92618, July 28, 6:30 a.m.

In the middle of the control center and the arch of the Golden Gate Circle, the Iron Sword Federation and the Rango Federation of Hot Springs Pass commanded the envoy camp.

The Iron Sword Federation of Hot Spring Pass, the commander of the Rango Federation Coalition Envoy Ji Fang, the deputy commander Gallif, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Iron Sword Federation Military Affairs Office, and the commander of the Fifth Army Corps of the Military Affairs Office of the Lango Federation stood with their heads held high, and the four of them looked at the topographic map of Hot Springs Pass on the wall, pointed and pointed, and were discussing the topography of Hot Springs Pass.

The curtain of the large-scale development of the western region is about to be lifted, and the relevant government departments of the Tiejian Federation have decided to build a number of infrastructure facilities in Hot Spring Pass. In order not to affect the military deployment of Hot Springs, the site selection of the infrastructure was handed over to Ji Fang, the commander of the Iron Sword Federation and the Lango Federation of Hot Springs, and the deputy commander Garif.

After some discussion, Ji Fang and Garif have selected multiple addresses on the topographic map, which are only waiting for the final screening and determination of the on-site survey.

At 6:35, Karaj, the first deputy commander of the Fourth Legion of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office, hurriedly walked into the command camp.

Ji Fang and Garif stopped discussing, and they all turned around.

"Your Excellency, the Fifth Legion has lost contact with us." Karai reported.

"When?" Ji Fang asked.

"At six o'clock, the Fifth Legion's connection with us was suddenly cut off. The Communications Group took the initiative to contact the Fifth Legion, however, it was never able to establish contact. Thirty-five minutes have passed now, and the Fifth Army has been out of touch. All lost. Karaj said solemnly.

Hearing Kara say this, Ji Fang couldn't help frowning slightly.

"All lost? Could it be that the Fifth Legion's communication circle system has suffered a serious failure? Garif asked.

"It's unlikely. The Fifth Legion's communication system, like ours, is produced in the Chaos Federation's Fangyuan Video System Workshop, and its performance is very reliable. Ji Fang said.

"But I can't think of anything other than that. Commander, I think that the sudden loss of contact with the Fifth Army cannot be for any other reason, but only a problem with the communication circle system. Garif affirmed.

Ji Fang thought about it and felt that what Garif said was also reasonable, so he said to Karai: "There are no absolutes in everything. So go ahead, stay connected and stay tuned. ”

"Yes!" Karaj answered, then turned and walked out of the camp.

"Let's go, let's go and investigate on the ground. For us, the location of infrastructure is a very difficult task. Ji Fang laughed.

At that moment, Ji Fang and Garif also went out of the camp to investigate the alternative address of the infrastructure.

Now all the hot springs in the hot springs have dried up, the surface is dry and cracked, and even the movement of small groups of people will kick up billowing dust.

The branches and leaves of the dead trees were all gone, leaving only a few bare trunks, which stood here and there like stakes.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Fourth Legion of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office and the Fifth Legion had not yet established contact.

Ji Fang and Garif exchanged opinions, and the two of them just let the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion continue to connect, and did not take other countermeasures.

……

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion of the Military Affairs Office of the Iron Sword Federation still failed to establish contact.

At this time, six hours had passed since the Fifth Legion of the Iron Sword Federation Military Affairs Office had completely lost contact.

After some analysis, Ji Fang and Garif became more and more inclined to believe that the communication circle system of the Fifth Legion of the Iron Sword Federation Military Office had a serious failure and had not been repaired.

Therefore, Ji Fang transferred a great magician and two high-level magicians from the control center of the Golden Gate Array, and asked the three of them to set off immediately and go to Alishankou to provide magical support to the Fifth Legion of the Military Affairs Office of the Iron Sword Federation.

After making this arrangement, Ji Fang, Garrif, Abins, and Sopol did not rest and continued to carry out the unfinished infrastructure site selection and exploration work.

One hour, two hours......

Soon it was six o'clock in the afternoon.

As the sun sets, the golden sunset reflecting the golden gate scatters, and the golden light is beautiful.

Ji Fang and Garif finished the day's exploration work and began to walk back along the golden gate.

Just when there were still two hundred meters away from the command camp, Ji Fang suddenly felt something in his heart and stopped.

The three men who were following Ji Fang, Galif, Abbins, and Sopol also stopped.

Then, Ji Fang and Garif turned around one after another.

At this time, through the golden light curtain like glass of the golden gate, Ji Fang and Garif clearly saw that on the west side of the golden gate, a kilometer away, an adult man with a slender and slender figure and a fair and exquisite face was ten meters above the ground, stepping into the air, and was walking towards the golden gate step by step.

"Elves?" A hint of surprise flashed in Gallif's eyes at the sight of the adult man.

"Yes, it's the elves! An adult male elf! Ji Fang said.

"More than one!" Garif let out a low cry, the surprise in his eyes even worse.

On the north and south sides of the adult male elf, Ji Fang and Garif saw the other eleven adult male elves.

A total of twelve adult male elves, from south to north, lined up in a row, separated by two by two for a kilometer, all ten meters above the ground, stepped into the air, from west to east, slowly walking towards the golden gate.

The pace of the twelve elves was very small, and the cadence was very slow, but the twelve elves seemed to have only taken a dozen steps before they came closer, and then, three hundred meters away from the west side of the golden gate, stopped in the void, and all stood quietly in the void, motionless.

At this moment, the entire hot spring suddenly fell silent.

However, this silence is not harmonious, and there is a kind of weirdness in it.
