Dense black clouds covered the entire Alstow Mountains like a dark curtain that covered the entire sky, and the altitude here was not low, so the curtain looked like it was hanging low over everyone's heads, as if it were within reach. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thick dark clouds blocked the sunlight, and the whole mountain and the dark sky were connected as if they were one darkness, and only when the occasional long snake-like lightning bolt that passed through the clouds revealed itself, there was a moment of light between heaven and earth. The sound of thunder and the sound of the wind blowing through the hills were intertwined, and every sound that shook the sky sounded like a dull hammer, knocking on everyone's hearts.

This kind of weather made Darius feel a little depressed, not only for him, but also for all the garrison legionnaires stationed on the city walls at the moment.

Because the storm is coming!

Everywhere you can see, a real storm is forming, and beyond view, there is another storm, where the monster called War is already lurking in the shadows, ready to show its sharp claws and fangs.

Darius sounded his first battle, and it was also such a rainy day, and it was from that time that he completely embarked on the path of a soldier and had the idea of becoming a strong man. But now the conditions on the city walls were much better than in the wilderness, and he looked around, and there were dense soldiers covering every corner of the city walls.

Deemmons walked over with West, waking Darius from his thoughts.

"Captain, the logistics materials have been delivered, and you need to confirm them."

Darius followed them to the nearest sentry fort, which was somewhat similar to the beacon tower on the Great Wall of Darius in his previous life, but the sentry fort was larger, where the soldiers repaired and stored supplies, and on the top of the sentry fort, the fortress's important fortification tower, was built.

The huge stone sentry fort was not comfortable or uncomfortable, but it was stable, and boxes of supplies were piled up inside, and Darius opened a few boxes at random, and asked De Mons, "You should have checked them all, right?" ”

"Well, two boxes of crystals, five boxes of medicines, seventeen boxes of food and twelve boxes of consumables, this is our half a month's amount, if there is a shortage of materials, then go to the logistics side to apply."

Darius nodded, in the fortress, at least the supplies are sufficient, unlike when fighting in the field, often have to starve, as a purely militarized city, the "Butters" fortress has a huge amount of food and consumables, which is also the strength of the legion to hang here.

"De Mons, I haven't experienced the battle of guarding the city wall, so the specific tasks of the second detachment are assigned by you, you don't need to ask me for instructions, I only need to be in charge of the battle."

Darius is still very clear about the truth of specialization in the art industry, experience is his biggest shortcoming, although he has experienced a lot during this time, but it is definitely far less than these mountain veterans, in front of the enemy, power, status, false name, all fake, in order to survive, Darius's best thing to do is to let go.

Besides, after so much contact, Demons is definitely a reliable person.

De Mons picked up a very tightly wrapped box, and Darius's words did not cause any emotional fluctuations in him, and he walked to the side of the stairs and said to West, "I see, for now, let's go and overhaul the tower." ”

On the top floor of the sentry fort that followed Demons, a metal weapon with a strong sci-fi atmosphere stood silently, and the slender metal pipe pointed straight to the empty space outside the fortress.

Is this a cannon? The first thing that came to Darius' mind was the artillery, because it was so similar, although it was called a defense tower, but in fact, this facility only had a base that could be related to the tower. And the black and hollow metal tube in the center, what is it that is not a cannon barrel?

"Is this a cannon?" Darius couldn't help but ask, since he joined the army, no enemy had been able to reach the walls of the fortress, so Darius was not very clear about these fortifications of the fortress.

"Sort of, this is a new defense tower that was installed last year, it is said to be jointly developed with Zu'an, a new product, there are always some miscellaneous small problems, so it must be overhauled from time to time."

With that, De Mons put the box in his hand on the ground and climbed the tower cleanly. Then he began to investigate carefully.

Darius has a hard time describing how he feels, what is that? How did the medieval background suddenly go to the futuristic sci-fi channel?

He grabbed Vest and asked, "Are you familiar with this?" ”

"Familiar? That's not to talk about, I've never operated this, but this one is not a hassle to use, there are instructions in the box over there, and it won't be harder than archery. ”

At this time, Demmens had already entered the operation console of the defense tower, he stuck his head out, and shouted at Darius: "Captain, activate the tower, I'll warm up and see if there is any problem." ”

So the two rookies walked over to the box that Demons had brought up and opened it.

The neatly stacked purple crystals glowed dreamily in the dark and gloomy weather, reflecting the purple light on the faces of the two people facing the box, and the abundant runic energy slowly flowed inside the crystal, making all the precious minerals that Bydelius had ever seen on Earth beautiful and gorgeous.

West picked up the manual and flipped through it, and soon, he responded loudly to Demons, and then took two crystals out of the box.

Going all the way to the back of the tower, West opened a dark compartment on the tower's pedestal, and placed the crystal into the empty dark compartment.

What is this? Is it a battery? Darius said darkly.

Then he felt more and more that he felt right, after the crystal entered the base of the defense tower, the originally cold defense facilities were like an electrified machine, and the rune energy visible to the naked eye was transmitted to all corners of the tower along the energy channels on the defense tower.

With a sound similar to that of a car engine, the top half of the tower began to slowly turn, and in the pitch-black barrel, Darius could feel the explosive energy converging and intensifying.

"There shouldn't be any problem!"

Deemmons' roar came from the heads of the two men, and then the energy convergence slowed down, and then slowly dissipated, retreating into the tower.

The old mountain warrior opened the operation hatch and jumped directly from the nearly five-meter-high defense tower, landing firmly in front of Darius.

"Looks like we're lucky, Captain, if something goes wrong with this thing, it won't be fixed in a while."

Darius couldn't help but glance at the defense tower again, the technological content of this thing, no, no, it should be said that the rune technology content or magic technology content was beyond his imagination, and he whispered: "When the time comes, let the skilled soldiers be in charge of this, otherwise there will be trouble if something goes wrong." ”

Deemmons nodded, agreeing to Darius' suggestion, and then he picked up the chest full of crystals.

"Let's go, let's discuss the specific personnel deployment, as well as the task allocation, time waits for no one."
