Chapter Eighty-Five: The Beauty of the Lotus Flower
Xiao Cai directly took Shen Mu and the others out of the headquarters gate.
"Guest of Twilight, I will manage all the affairs of your time here, and I will be fine if you have anything to tell me. Xiao Cai led the way, and took the two of them to the direction of the other side out of the town, and said: "In the town, except for the headquarters of our forest mercenary group, the other facilities are all resident facilities, for the stability of ordinary people's lives, our warriors are all outside the town, including the two guards at the entrance to the town and the permanent base of the mercenary group in the north of the Lotus River in the town. ”
"It turns out that this small river is called the Lotus River, hehe, I feel that as long as the bridge is raised, the general beast tide will not be able to pass through the town. Swallow asked with some interest.
"Well, the swallow's vision is very sharp, and it is combined with the beast tide at once. Indeed, as you said, this is how we dealt with the beast tide in the past, and as soon as the two-day beast tide period passed, those beasts would return to the Cangbei Forest as if they wanted to get an order. Xiao Cai said and sighed, "But before that, the situation that has gradually happened in the past half a year has forced us to move the mercenary group base to Jiangbei in order to resist the beast tide in order to resist the beast tide! The wandering period of those beasts has been extended from two days to three days, and even if the beast tide is over, they will not leave, just wander in the north of the river." The townspeople couldn't get out at all. ”
"Has the characteristics of the demon beasts changed, or is it that the kind of ferocious force that Lino said made them no longer follow the rules of the beast tide?"
"We don't know about this," a few people have come to the giant suspension bridge in the north of the town, and Xiao Cai led a few people to the mercenary group base in the north of the Lotus River unimpeded.
"Mu Mirage, Yanzi, here is our base in a hurry, there are twenty resident martial artists, including five high-level martial artists, and there are also twenty or thirty resident martial artists, most of whom are responsible for cleaning up and encircling low-level demon beasts, so that the martial artists can kill them. There are 30 ordinary members of the group, who are responsible for logistics and daily life. Xiao Cai pointed to the complex by the river and said.
"It's such a big place with so many people, and it's not bad in my spare time, I guess there's a tavern!" said Swallow.
"Well, yes, there are all kinds of facilities such as taverns, restaurants, gyms, etc., and our dormitories are all family rooms in single rooms. In order to adapt to the new environment in the past six months, many mercenaries have dragged their families here. Side dishes replied.
Several people went around and visited, and on the way, they greeted the people they knew, introduced Shen Mu and the others, and arranged for the wounded to gather in the medical room tomorrow morning to wait for treatment.
"Xiao Cai, your fortifications are really good, almost all the base is surrounded, can't the beast tide break through?" Shen Mu asked at this time, standing at the gate of the circular fortification on the north side of the base.
"Of course, we broke through, but we all set up a formation to fight on the hills outside, so this ring fortification only serves to protect the base, and the beast tide will be suppressed by us before it arrives! Xiao Cai opened the door and introduced the plain area outside to Shen Mu and the others.
Let's talk about the plain area, there are actually some ups and downs, and many stone pillars are arranged in the open place of the volume, which should be used to alleviate the impact of the beast tide, and the stone pillars are all blood stains and metal protrusions, thinking that these stone pillars are not ordinary, they are not ordinary stone pillars.
"Hehe, don't doubt it, these stone pillars are indeed not ordinary stone pillars, and after hollowing out in the middle, thick iron is poured in, which is a big iron pillar, which is difficult for demon generals to break. Our forest mercenary group is using this cover to gradually encroach on the beast tide. After speaking, Xiaocai also pointed to a few deep ditches in the distance and continued. "That's where the corpses are incinerated, and the demon crystals left behind by the burned corpses can still make money. ”
At this time, Shen Mu already had the scene of the battle here in his mind, and the grand scene could be imagined.
"It's so spicy, there's nothing to see here, more than ten kilometers north of the coastal area of the Cangbei Forest, there is no village, let's go back and take you to the dormitory." "The side dishes have roughly taken it around in a circle, and everything that should be understood is understood.
"Uh-huh, it's almost time to eat after returning to the dormitory, I heard that your lotus seed wine in Lotus Town is delicious, hehe. The swallow looked around, and now finally said what he cared about.
"Yes, rest assured, your department VIPs, guaranteed to drink to your heart's content. After Xiao Cai finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Mu, "Is Mu Mirage the same?"
Shen Mu hurriedly waved his hand, "That, I don't drink, just get me some milk, or juice or something." ”
Xiao Cai smiled and took the lead to walk back.
The dormitory is very close to the river, and it is a small building with separate buildings. The surrounding greenery and small parks are very beautiful, Shen Mu has never lived by this kind of river, but he is very curious. It is worthy of being a famous scenic spot in Cangnan Continent, and the scenery of any place is so intoxicating. "I really want Lin Xue to come and see it, it's not bad to live here. Shen Mu thought a little stupid.
"Hey, Xiao Mu, what are you doing in a daze, asking which building you live in?" Shen Mu's voice came from the voice of a swallow.
"Oh, I'm sorry, the scenery here is so good, the first time I've seen it, I'm a little fascinated, Xiaocai, which side is our dormitory?"
Xiaocai stretched out his hand and pointed to a few houses by the river, "The ones here are empty, just choose one, and I'll ask people to buy furniture, bedding, and some daily necessities." Tell me when you've chosen, and I'll take you back to the regimental commander. ”
Several riverside villas looked similar, and Shen Mu chose one casually, "Swallow, can we live in this one?"
Swallow nodded, "Well, yes, then let's go to dinner, I'm a little hungry." ”
Shen Mu was speechless, he obviously saw that Yanzi swallowed his saliva, obviously hungry, where is he hungry. But Xiao Cai didn't know, thinking that the VIP was indeed hungry, and after informing the servants to add furniture and other tasks, he took Shen Mu and the others along the river bank to return to the town's headquarters across the bridge.
At this time, it is already evening, and the evening in Lotus Town is even more beautiful, the sunset shines on the sparkling river surface and reflects pieces of light and shadow, and the light and shadow are hidden on the cottages by the river, like a dream.
After all, Yanzi is also a girl, and she couldn't help but marvel when she saw the scenery at this time, "It's so beautiful, Xiaomu, you see, over there, it doesn't look like the lake is flowing on the eaves, hehe, the colors of these lotus flowers are also mixed in it, it's like a dream." ”
Shen Mu was also intoxicated at the moment, and muttered, "If only there was any spiritual weapon that could record this moment." I can share it with Lin Xue. ”
The side dishes on the side were obviously accustomed to the beautiful scenery here, and when they saw the two of them stop watching, they said with a smile: "Okay, don't be stupid, you can watch it every day in the future." Mu Mirage, the spirit weapon you mentioned exists, I heard that the Pope's Palace in Hailan City has this kind of spirit weapon, which can record images. ”
Shen Mu came back to his senses, he also knew that it must be difficult to get, and said with a smile. "Okay, next time I must bring Lin Xue to see. ”
Xiao Cai said casually, "Lin Xue is your leader." Fighting the Demon Lord alone, hehe, amazing. I listened to Lino. ”
Linuo's restaurant is on the third floor of the headquarters, in fact, this is also the dining room of the headquarters public servants, but the head of the regiment has a small authority, and he separates a room facing the Lotus River.
"Captain, Twilight's VIP has been brought, the visit mission has been successfully completed, please instruct. "Xiao Cai is more casual outside, but he looks very quiet in front of the head of the regiment.
"Well, you go down first, Xiao Mu, Yanzi, come in. Ben Nuo beckoned to the two of them, then pulled down the bell to signal that it was time to serve.
"Sister Linuo, why do I feel that everyone is very respectful and serious to you?" Shen Mu took a sip of tea on the side after sitting down, and asked curiously.
"Oh, don't the members of the group do this to their boss?" replied with some disapproval, and then glanced at Yanzi, who seemed to be in awe of her like Shen Mu. After finishing speaking, he laughed out loud two seconds, "Haha, I know, it must be that Lin Xue girl doesn't have the appearance of a group leader." ”
Shen Mu is full of black lines, not to mention that he doesn't have the appearance of a group leader, he is simply a little servant, cooking and mopping the floor. You can't tell the truth in front of others alone, "Captain Lin Xue, we are all in awe, but not on the surface, he said that we are the pillar of the spirit of the Twilight Xue Mercenary Group, and we carry out the belief of not abandoning or giving up. ”
Shen Mu was still talking, but the swallows on the side laughed out loud. Shen Mu was embarrassed, just scratching his head to cover it up.
"Hehe, Xiaomu, you don't need to say it, I don't know who Lin Xue is. It's just evening now, how about it, the scenery of our Lotus Town is good. Lino didn't seem to care about the two of them's attitude towards her, and changed the topic without being blunt.
"Mmmm, it's so beautiful here, I really want to live there. It's a pity that I will be scolded by Lin Xue. The swallow affirmed the scenery and expressed fear towards Lin Xue.
Shen Mu also nodded, "Although I haven't seen much of the world, the scenery of Lotus Town is indeed unique in the world, and it is indeed a pity to give up this place to be occupied by demon beasts, the loss of human beings." ”
"Xiaomu, your insights are very profound, but in fact, this is one of my thoughts. The maid began to serve, her fingers tapped on the table, her speech slowed down and paused, and then she said, "This is my hometown, and I will not give up." If one day I really can't stop the attack of the demon beasts, I will order all the people to retreat to Linshui City!"
Shen Mu repeated Linuo's words: "You won't give up?"
Linuo didn't seem to think about it at all, nodded and said: "I won't give up this land that gave birth to me and raised me, I will never forget that when the mayor of the town brought someone to pool money to buy me martial arts, and Aunt Zhang next door made me a bento for the next day overnight." I was an orphan since I was a child, and it was the people of this land who raised me, educated me after I woke up, and sent me to the academy. ”
Benono seems to be recalling a lot of the past.
"I will live and die with this land until I die here. The tone was firm, and at this time, he got up without armor and propped his hands on the windowsill, his long hair fluttering in the wind, his gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, and his weak body perfectly carried her firm faith. Linuo tilted her head slightly, "Little Ash, it's just that you've been bitter, and you're going to accompany me to the end." ”
Shen Mu looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes were a little straight, and he did not have any feelings, but was shocked by this situation. The picture of mountains and rivers in front of the weak figure. Is this chivalry?
