Chapter 50: The Demon Tide
an hour ago········
Hold on····· It's here... Soon... It's time to ······
"Plop"
A man in ragged clothes and a pale face looked at the city gate close at hand, and even heard the conversation of the soldiers on the city wall, he wanted to stretch out his hand and want to call for help to the people on the city wall, but with a feeling of dizziness, he fell to the ground as soon as it was dark, and a scratch on his back was deep into the bones.
What was that?
A soldier with his back to the wall raised his head and asked his companion, who was still chattering.
Kindness? What's the sound?
The soldier who was interrupted on the side obviously had some unhappiness on his face, and then said with the appearance of a senior: "Ah Liang, you just joined the city guard and are on night duty, it is normal for you to have auditory hallucinations or something, and you will get used to it slowly."
But I just made it clear that ····· The soldier known as Ah Liang looked back at the outside of the city wall, except for the place at the gate that was illuminated by the lights, it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and the silence around was terrible.
Alright, don't be suspicious! You have to know that this is the Black Iron City, the safest place in the whole alliance, since the founding of the city, it has been calm and has not had any major incidents, otherwise you think that the top of the big night will arrange for us two unlucky ghosts to be on duty here?
Hey, I thought that something big would happen in the Black Iron City martial law today, but the result was to catch two little thieves, a stick of people wandering around the street, listening to the above meaning seems to be doing some kind of drill, Made, harm labor and management Bai happy!
Yes? Brother De, isn't it okay to be fine? Ah Liang, who was attracted by the topic, retracted his gaze, gave up his intention to continue investigating, and turned to ask. It's just that the moment he turned around, a stream of red blood slowly flowed into the ground illuminated by the light........
What do you know, cultivation like ours is not good, there are soldiers who have no backing, and the more peaceful the day, the more bitter it is. Even the oil and water of the dozens of copper coins on weekdays, the big head still has to be filial piety to the above, and the remaining small head still has so many brothers, do you say our life is good? The soldier known as Brother De said in an old-fashioned manner.
I think it's okay now, although life is a little harder, but at least the family is here, so don't worry about being afraid.
Okay, okay! A newcomer is a newcomer, and when you have been in this place for a long time, you will understand that Brother De's words today are definitely famous for the ages. Since you are so dedicated, then you can also help me stand up for my post, I will make up for sleep first, and I will replace you later! Without waiting for Ah Liang to agree, Brother De sat in the corner and closed his eyes.
...................
Brother De, Brother De, wake up! Wake up!
Brother De, who was sleeping in Zhengxiang, was very unhappy after being woken up by someone rudely: "Ah Liang, what are you doing?" Didn't you say let me sleep first, what's the ghost called?
No, Brother De, look at the plain ahead, is there something coming up? Ah Liang said hurriedly.
What could there be, it really disturbs my sweet dreams! Brother De, who was very impatient, slapped Ah Liang's hand away, got up and looked out.
This... This... What is this?
Brother De's eyesight, which was a little higher in cultivation, was naturally much better than Ah Liang's, and he saw that on the plain a few kilometers away from the city gate, a large black shadow was slowly wriggling. Just a glance at Brother De, he was completely sleepy, and shouted at Ah Liang: "You are guarding here, I'll report to the captain!"
Lord of the city, Lord of the city, there is an emergency to report to you!
Ten minutes later, the news of the appearance of unknown creatures outside the Black Iron City was handed to the city lord's secretary layer by layer, due to the urgency of the situation, even though he knew that Po Lin had just fallen asleep, the secretary was still ready to wake up the other party.
Are you all pigs? This kind of thing still needs to be asked of me, don't you know if you will send a reconnaissance team to investigate the situation first?
Although Pauline was furious that he was disturbed from sleeping, he thought that the explosion in the east had a new situation, but he patiently opened the door and let the other party in. But after listening to the secretary's report, Pauline's anger suddenly disappeared, but more inexplicably uneasy, Black Iron City has not seen a demonic beast in a hundred years, I hope it is not a big guy.
My lord, a reconnaissance team has been dispatched, and it still hasn't come back! The secretary replied.
Well... Come with me to the city walls and see! Pauline was the first to go out of the room, and his hurried steps expressed his mood at this time.
Your Excellency, here you are!
At this time, the newly appointed boss of the city guard, Volks, and a group of his subordinates were standing on the city wall discussing something, and from time to time they also looked at the staircase, and on the first day of his appointment, he naturally hoped that the city lord could see his serious attitude. The sharp-eyed man naturally saw Pauline's arrival at first sight, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Well, nodded Bolin walked directly to the city wall and looked into the distance, because the only moonlight in the sky was blocked by dense clouds at this time, even with the strength of Bolin's third order, he couldn't see what the specific black shadow wriggled on the plain was, but years of experience told him that this was not a good sign.
Your name is Vaux, right, hasn't the scout team come back yet? Pauline asked back.
Yes, my lord! It's been ten minutes since they've been dispatched, and at their speed, they should be able to get back soon, Vaux replied with a dodgy look.
Well, what's going on in the other directions? Pauline, looking down in thought, asked.
I haven't found anything yet, but.... Vaux hesitated and continued: "City Lord, the soldiers under his command found the body of an adventurer when they went out of the city gate, it should have been injured and ran back to bleed to death, but we can't see what kind of demonic beast he was injured, so please take a look."
Where is the body? Take me to see it!
Right ahead!
Pauline couldn't help frowning when he saw the three deep scratches on the back of the corpse, at this time the flesh that had been cut had turned black, and one hand was still stretched forward.
Flipping the other party's stiff corpse over, Polin's brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't need to look at it to know that the other party was injured by a poisonous demonic beast, whether it was the wound or the exposed skin, it was all jet black, but what kind of demonic beast would it be?
Oh my God, how could it be him? The secretary on the side exclaimed.
Seeing that Polin was looking at him, the secretary hurriedly explained: "City Lord, this is Shake, the leader of the Lightning Adventure Group, a mid-second-order martial artist with rapid ability, I have dealt with the other party a few times, and his thick eyebrows are still fresh in my memory." His adventure group ranks second in the overall strength of Black Iron City, I heard that their team took on a good mission a few days ago, and entered the Black Iron Mountain Range with dozens of people, but with his speed, there shouldn't be many demonic beasts in the Black Iron Mountain Range that can threaten him.
It seems that the situation is more serious than I thought, and it seems that I need to be prepared.
Standing up and looking around at the generals, Polin said solemnly: "You immediately notify the whole city to enter the first-level alert, and all the soldiers are assembled!"
Lord of the city, it doesn't have to be so serious, right? Maybe it's just some low-level monster group wandering over, but we'd better wait for the scout team to come back. Volks, tentatively, asked.
"Smack"
Hearing Vox's words, Pollin slapped the other party's face with his backhand, pointed at Vaux's nose and scolded: "If you don't want to do it, get back to me, a lot of people are staring at your seat!"
Yes, yes, yes! My lord, I'll do it now!
Holding his already red and swollen face with one hand, Volks' hand pulled his adjutant aside, bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Go and wake up those little rabbit cubs for me, I don't care if he is drunk or lying on the woman's belly and can't get up, you just stab him with a knife, and bring him to me too, otherwise everyone will have no good fruit to eat!"
Polin on the side didn't bother to continue to blame the other party when he saw this, he himself knew better than anyone what was in the city guards, but there were many things that he, the puppet city lord, could only turn a blind eye, and even his original ambition had been corroded over the years, let alone them!
Laughing at himself, he shook Pauline and said to the secretary on the side, "Does this Shaq still have a family?" If he has it, he will call someone to come and claim it, and if not, arrange for a few soldiers to help him enter the ground.
Good!
The secretary nodded and called two soldiers to prepare to carry Shaq's body off the wall, and at the same time called someone to go to the other party's house to call someone to come and claim it, and the reason why he did so thoughtfully was just to receive a lot of benefits from Shaq.
As soon as the two soldiers carried the body off the city wall, they felt a light on their hands, and the body that was lying on the stretcher disappeared with a whoosh. Just as the two soldiers were still stunned, a black shadow had already appeared behind one of the soldiers, blood spilled all over the ground, and some soldiers on duty under the city wall suddenly exploded.
Ahh Help me·····
Monsters... Monsters... Kill it······
