Chapter 18. Receiver + Lieutenant Colonel
This 2.2-meter-tall man, named Teng Kaiyu, was sent by the city lord of Pengmai City to pick up Alfred.
Due to the demon's magic, Pengmai City is unable to receive any information outside of the Black Cloud Region, and it is also unable to send it.
And this Teng Kaiyu has been stationed in the south of the city because of this.
"Hey, isn't Pengmai City going to be able to hold it this time?"
"Hehe, have those demons finally decided to slaughter the city?"
"Could it be that the prophecy of the crisis has really come true?"
The eyes of this decadent uncle, who was full of worries and thinking about all kinds of things, became darker and darker. Looking at Qingmang Pengcheng under the black night in front of him, he exhaled a long sigh of resentment, and the smoke in his mouth flew out quickly.
At this moment, the messenger crystal embedded in the glove suddenly lit up.
And this person also had a message in his mind: "Lieutenant Colonel Teng Kaiyu, Kecheng's reinforcements are about to arrive, please take them." Prevent the demon from intercepting."
The uncle didn't make any extra moves, just kept smoking and replied, "Oh, I see."
"Hmph, it's finally here. I thought something had happened on the way. The decadent lieutenant colonel's eyebrows curled, and the corners of his mouth, which had been drooping, were hooked. Although this smile is a little oozing, a bit like a gang boss, it can be seen that this person is indeed really happy.
Then he turned back and looked at the pitch-black plain behind him.
"Come on, let me see, where are you going?" As he spoke, the uncle raised his hand against his eyebrows, activating the magic of strong vision, enhancing his night vision and sight range.
"Hmm...... Unseen. β
The lieutenant colonel's eyes shook from side to side, and finally landed on the right, because Kecheng's reinforcements usually came from that direction.
"Tsk...... I still can't see it, probably because I used concealment. With that girl's character, it's likely to ......"
The uncle's expression became slightly irritated, and he silently activated the transmission crystal and sent a message to Alfred, "Alfred, where are you? Need help?"
"Colonel, I'm out of the forest, and I should be able to get there right away. No need for help at the moment. But please prepare the Lieutenant Colonel's four passage rings, and I have four aliens here." Alfred replied in a slick tone.
The protective barrier of Pengmai City will hinder the Red Devil Clan and races other than the ancient race, so some adventurers of the Elf Race, Orc Clan, or caravan will need to wear a passage ring after reaching Pengmai City.
"Okay, I see, I'll wait for you at the city gate."
"Roger."
After the simple exchange of information here, the uncle also spit out the cigarette butt in front of his mouth. The cigarette butt was suddenly wrapped in a ball of flame and burned out.
He lifted the enhanced magic, squinted slightly, looked at the faint golden orange protective barrier that enveloped Pengmai City in front of him, and continued to murmur, "Four aliens? Hehe, they should all be orcs......"
While thinking about it, the uncle jumped from the city tower more than 20 meters high, and when it was less than half a meter away from the ground, a layer of slow-falling magic unfolded in time, causing it to slowly fall to the ground.
At this moment, there were only two soldiers guarding the gate of the south city, and even the lieutenant colonel who jumped down was only three.
Seeing the lieutenant colonel jump off, one of the soldiers smiled, "Lieutenant Colonel, is it possible that Kirswal's reinforcements are coming?"
"yes, that's right." Teng Kaiyu smiled, "By the way, you two have been standing guard here for a few hours?"
"It's only been 54 hours since I reported to the colonel. No problem, I can do it." The soldier who spoke glanced at his pocket watch and immediately replied.
"Report to the Colonel, I'm fine."
"Yes, yes, young people should be motivated. But you still have to rest, don't think that taking potions is an iron man." This uncle's tone is vicissitudes, and he has the air of a person who has come over. "Don't work with a certain person... Crazy..."
At this moment, the middle-aged uncle, who was preparing to black a wave of Orr, suddenly stopped talking.
The eyes that were originally cynical and had some vicissitudes of life also widened immediately.
"This?! What's going on?!"
"Why did the moat disappear?!"
Just when the uncle was stunned, the other two gatekeepers also exclaimed in unison.
At this moment, the golden orange barrier that originally enveloped Pengmai City began to disappear in front of everyone's eyes.
Although the protective barrier is sometimes visible and sometimes invisible when it is not attacked. But that kind of invisibility is a kind of wave-like cycle, which repeatedly undergoes invisible manifestation in the form of waves.
And at this moment, the enchantment in front of everyone's eyes is really disappearing.
From the highest point in the sky, the barrier that should have enveloped Pompon Wheat City began to shatter and begin to collapse like a melted chocolate egg.
Pieces of broken barrier detach from their original barrier and rise backwards into the air, where they disappear.
In less than ten seconds, the protective barrier of the entire Pommai City was completely shattered.
The three men standing at the south gate of the city were directly stunned.
"Forehead ......"
"Lieutenant Colonel, Lord, this is ......."
The two doormen, who did not understand the situation, froze in place.
And the uncle over there, his eyes sank, and he put his hand on the hilt of the sword tightly, and said, "Forehead...... Looks like there's something going on at the church."
"Huh? Which church, is it the one on Evergreen Street? Shall we go and support us?!" A soldier became anxious, "After all, it's a protective barrier, suddenly broken, there must be a reason, if you don't care, if the demon side launches a fierce attack, in the absence of an air defense barrier, it will definitely cause an irreparable situation." β
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel, we don't have anything to do with this south gate, or ......" another soldier.
Just when these two soldiers with six gods and no master asked Teng Kaiyu, they didn't expect that at this moment, behind the three of them, a tall and strong demon with a dry corpse type was sweeping towards them with a 2-meter black cleaver.
"(Not good!) Get down!"
Teng Kaiyu said as he used his fastest speed to open his arms and press down the two soldiers on the left and right together.
dignified~click~"uhh
Call! ββ
The two soldiers let out a fall-down snort as the sound of their armor hitting the stone bricks was heard, and at the same time, above their heads, there was the chilling sound of cutting through the airβthe sound of wind pressure that can only be produced when the heavy sword is swung at high speed.
Fortunately, the lieutenant colonel reacted quickly enough, otherwise all three would have to be explained there.
"What's that!? Could it be a demon!? The two soldiers realized that things had to be second.
"What's going on?! Why didn't you find out?! Teng Kaiyu's eyes turned quickly, not understanding what was going on.
