The sudden alarm lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, and everyone in the "Shining City" understood what was happening.

People began to pour down the street towards the town hall.

The supply shops are getting crowded, and people are rushing for muskets, ammunition, food, camping gear, and magic items...

More and more people began to put together their combat equipment, and one by one with excited expressions on their faces.

This is the only national wilderness hunting event that can only be seen in this "hunter's paradise" city!

......

A short time later, Carl returned to the mechanical shop.

He didn't bring back any news of Ilrubek's arrest from the "red-nosed" Hook messenger, but he did bring back another shocking piece of news.

The barbarian tribe of the Forest of Ashes has recently attacked several hunter camps, slaughtering hundreds of hunters in a "frenzy" and destroying several frontier posts in the Shining City.

Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion decided to issue the "S-Class Full War Conscription Order", announcing that the entire city would be driven towards the western mist area, and a campaign to exterminate the barbarian tribes would be carried out.

At the same time, the "Ringing Wind Pass" after the blockade of the Shining City, all the people who entered the city only entered but did not leave, and the whole people prepared for war.

At the same time, a large number of high-bounty hunting tasks were released in the town hall...

The hunters fell into a carnival.

......

Built west of the Alcolon Mountains, the City of Radiance once had no human enemies and was fought against monsters in the wilderness. Now, there is one more "barbarian tribe".

"S-Class War Call" was a tradition at the beginning of the founding of the Shining City.

In the beginning, the City of Radiance didn't even have a decent mechanical city. At that time, he relied on Master Kawo to lead his disciples and mage groups to fight against the demonic beasts of the wasteland in this dangerous wasteland, establish a camp little by little, and gain a firm foothold.

At that time, every beast tide meant that it was possible to be wiped out; Every battle is a group battle in which everyone participates.

However, as the five mechanical cities of the Radiant City gradually took shape, the threat of the Wild Beasts to the city became less and less.

The purpose of the human beings in this city has just begun to change from survival to hunting.

The scale of the battle is getting smaller and smaller, and the scale of the hunt is also divided into S-level (city-wide), A-level (legion-level), B-level (large team), C-level (small team)...

Over the years, the city has become taller and taller, and the attack system has become more and more perfect, so that the city is no longer threatened by any monsters, even if it is a large-scale beast tide.

At least in the last ten years, there has been no "S-class war call" alarm in the city to mobilize the whole city.

Now, it's ringing.

This also means that the Shining City will pour all its strength into the city to completely destroy the "barbarian civilization" in a crushing manner.

The City Lord's Mansion will release a large number of wilderness hunting tasks, which is a grand event for all wilderness hunters, and the whole people are forced to participate!

From the first moment the hunters stepped into the city, they promised to cooperate with the obligations of the city lord's mansion.

.......

"There was a notice from the City Lord's Mansion that the barbarian tribe had attacked many outposts on the periphery, killing and wounding a large number of hunters... Judging by that sign, it seemed that the barbarians were still intent on dying. Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion decided to go out in groups, and if those barbarians did not surrender, they would completely destroy that primitive civilization. ”

Carl brought back more detailed information.

When Wren heard this, he inexplicably thought of that barbarian chick, Udo.

She doesn't look like she's rumored, barbaric, cannibalistic, or evil, but in a way, she's quite reasonable.

But resource plundering is always bloody, and no one will have mercy on the enemy who stands in the way of land reclamation.

Wren frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

The "City of Radiance" has the courage and the strength to destroy a primitive civilization that does not even have iron-smelting technology.

Thinking about it, he asked, "You mean, 'S-Class War Call', where everyone in the city must participate?" ”

"Yes, no one is an exception. Within three days, everyone must go to the City Lord's Mansion to draw lots to receive the task of hunting famine..."

Karl briefly introduced the rules of this operation, and said: "Even those guys from the five major families have no privileges. With the exception of those who are essential to defend the city, such as boilermakers, gunners, and the City Defense Mage, everyone will need to go to the town hall to draw lots, otherwise they will be detained by the law enforcement team as 'deserters' and punished with heavy sentences. Of course, this is a good thing for the hunters, who prefer to actively participate and take on tasks that pay better..."

Wren also understood.

This kind of conscription is indeed a "benefit" for the hunters.

Group operations, large mechanical cities will participate, this kind of hunting efficiency is definitely not something that a small-scale team can achieve. Then they will be able to explore more dangerous areas, hunt more powerful magical beasts, and find treasures hidden in the mist...

More than ninety percent of the "Shining City" are wilderness hunters, so almost all of them have a strong enthusiasm for this kind of group hunting. Of course, except for a few, such as the heirs of the "five families" who are not worried about resources.

They could have enjoyed themselves in the city without laboring, but because of the rules of the Shining City, they had to go out hunting and adventuring like everyone else.

......

The earlier you go, the more tasks you can choose from.

That's why a large number of people rushed to the city hall not long after the alarm went off.

After listening to the rules, Wren asked again: "Carl, you have to go too?" ”

Carl nodded, "yes." Even those who are professional merchants, after all, the transportation of goods and supplies are needed in war. ”

Wren said again: "What about your shop?" What about your grandfather? ”

When Carl heard this, his little face wrinkled: "Grandpa has a mechanical exoskeleton implant, and there is no problem with his movements." Originally, our mechanics belonged to the logistics corps, and the task was not to directly participate in the battle, so there was not much danger. But... Now that Grandpa Nieto has been captured, the life potion that Grandpa needs has become a big problem..."

"If it's a potion..."

Hearing this, Wren was about to say something, when he heard the sound of metal touching upstairs clicking, clattering.

The man did not arrive, but the voice came first.

"Little Carl, are there any guests in the store..."

In the blink of an eye, an old man covered in mechanical bones climbed down the stairs in a very strange way.

Like a gibbon, he used the exaggerated tentacle mechanical arm behind his body to hang from the pipes in the store, changed hands a few times, and then landed smoothly on the ground.

"Huh..."

Wren's gaze naturally fell on the special octopus-like mechanical arm on the old man's back for the first time.

It is shaped like a human spine with a knotted structure, and the whole body is overflowing with metallic cold light, and it is full of mechanical beauty in the eyes.

This mechanical skeleton and octopus robotic arm completely belong to the category of "black technology" that they can't understand.

Anyway, Ren, a layman, really didn't understand how this thing worked. Can a steam mechanical boiler still drive such a flexible robotic arm?

In comparison, the "PMVI. Micro Air Hammer Modified Version" robotic arm in Wren's hand, which he thought was already very powerful, was very small.

Wren naturally guessed the identity of the old man in front of him.

But then again, it was the first time he had met Carl's grandfather, Tust Fuentes.

The two old men are worthy of being old friends for many years, and even their aesthetics are so similar.

A spider, a mechanical octopus, and many thieves.

......

Although the mechanical skeleton looks full of science and technology, the old man's physical condition is terrible.

Because of perennial paralysis, the muscles have atrophied very much. His whole body was already emaciated and only skin and bones remained, his cheekbones were protruding, his eye sockets were deep, and his whole body looked like a skeleton, and his weight did not exceed thirty kilograms.

Carl's grandfather glanced at Wren, didn't treat him as an outsider, and said, "You are Nieto's new disciple?" I'm sorry, I scared you..."

"Hello Grandpa Tuthra, I'm Wren."

Wren also responded politely, bowing to the elders, "The teacher often mentions you to me. ”

Of course he wasn't intimidated, he was just curious.

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on the octopus mechanical arm on the old man's back.

Not to mention how this black technology was created, how can a paralyzed patient use such a flexible robotic arm?

As we all know, all mechanical skeletons in this world are purely physical control systems. But the metal tentacles on the back of the old man in front of him looked like they were directly connected to the nerves.

This technology of "nerve signal-driven prosthesis" was a cutting-edge technology even at the end of the 21st century before he crossed over.

How did you come out of this steam engine era?

Wren, a doctor himself, knew that the current medical field simply could not do this.
