Chapter 270: Strike Again

According to Gawain's original plan, Solderlin should stay in the territory for a short time, responsible for providing him with information about the Typhon Empire, and by the way, the news related to Gawain Cecil came out, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the instability of the Great Wall Barrier made everyone feel a sense of crisis, in order to find out what was going on on the elves' side as soon as possible, Gawain had to let Soldrin leave the territory first and find a way to get in touch with the ancient empire in the south of the continent.

Before Sölderling departed, Gawain approached him and asked about the Elven Ranger's plans, "Where are you going to go from?" ”

Thorderlin did not hide it: "There are not many barrier monitoring points set up by the Silver Empire in the north of the continent, and the last two are near the border of Ansu West and the Typhon Empire, to be honest, the one in Ansu West is still too far away, and I plan to go to Typhon's side." ”

Gawain glanced at Thorderlin: "Your current condition, won't you be killed when you return to Typhon?" ”

"If a high-ranking ranger doesn't want to be caught, then there are ten thousand ways to jump left and right right under the noses of ordinary border guards," Thorderling looked natural and confident, "And even if I was really caught by that little wolf general, I was only captured by you for a few days, and I didn't surrender, what would she do with me?" Besides, I'm just a mercenary, not a Typhonian. ”

There was no one else around now, and Tölderlin didn't have much of a tense meaning in front of a person who knew the mystery of his powerhouse, but his undisguised statement still made Gawain's eyelids jump: "Are you sure that you have lived so comfortably with me and have not surrendered?" ”

"Of course, I haven't officially returned to Cecil's legion, so I can't surrender," Sölderlin's face was extremely serious, and it was obvious that he wasn't joking at all when he said this, "so that the little wolf general has no reason to blame me - I can wait until I return from Typhon to surrender." ”

Gawain: "......"

Solderling's statement sounded like a joke, but he wasn't really kidding him - it was all because the elves' logic was like that, and in some inexplicable places, the elves' thinking was very peculiar.

However, Typhon's Winter Wolf Legion may not be able to approve of Sölderlin's straightforward thinking, and Thordrin himself knows this, so after expressing his opinion, he straightened his expression: "I will try my best to bypass the eyes of the Typhon people - this is not difficult, except for the people of the Winter Wolf Legion, there are not many people over there who know me, I have a route to cross the border, as long as I reach the Silver Elf stronghold between the Typhon Empire and the Gondor Wasteland buffer, I will be equivalent to entering the territory of the Silver Empire, and it will be safe." ”

"Well, since you have a plan, then I won't say more," Gawain gave Sölderlin a deep look, "I hope you have a good journey." ”

Thorderling solemnly pressed one hand to his chest, bent down and said, "I swear in the name of the Elven Ancestor that I will return when the matter is done. ”

Then he straightened up and turned to walk towards the door of the study, but just as he was about to push the door out, he suddenly stopped—and Gawain sensed the breath of Knight Philip appearing outside the door.

In the next second, there was a knock on the door, and the serious and slightly hurried voice of Knight Philip: "My lord, urgent military situation." ”

"Come in," Gawain said in a loud voice, and as soon as Philip entered, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Message from the watchtower of the Dark Mountains is an aberration," Philip glanced at Thorderlin standing in the doorway, and then reported quickly, "There are about two thousand, and they are still increasing, and there are huge individuals in it that have never been seen before. ”

Gao Wen's face instantly became solemn: "Huge individual? What about the rough description? Also, how fast are the enemies traveling? ”

"Exceptionally swollen humanoids, between five and seven meters in size, not a few in number, only four or five, but the aberrations around them are noticeably more agile and agile, suspected to be commander-like individuals - but no signs of intelligence have been observed for the time being. As for the overall travel speed, it is about the same as the last aberration, and it will take about three to four days to reach the territory border. The sentries of the first post have been withdrawn to prevent the aberrations from sensing the human breath and suddenly speeding up, leaving only the second and third posts to observe the enemy's movements with binoculars. ”

"Looks like you can't leave for now," Gawain gave Sölderlin a deep look, "I'm in some trouble here." ”

"I see, you mentioned the reappearance of those guys," Thorderling silently walked back to the center of the room when he heard Philip say the word "aberration," a smile on his face, "We're old enemies, aren't they?" ”

Gao Wen also smiled slightly: "If you don't beat them for seven hundred years, will your hands be born?" ”

Thorderlin raised his hand and made a few bowstring pulling movements: "I still remember the feeling of seven hundred years ago, I can solve at least a hundred by myself." Nineteen hundred are left for you. ”

"The number has exceeded the threshold, and their number will continue to increase, and by the time they reach the defense line, there will be more than two thousand," Gawain shook his head with a smile, "But the main force of the battle will not be you and me, it's time for you to see the strength of the Cecil Combat Corps - Philip, according to the plan, sound the alarm, arrange the positions outside the city, withdraw the southern engineering team, and prepare for defense!" ”

After Philip Knight left, Gawain turned his head to look at the window: "Amber! ”

Amber's figure immediately jumped in from the window: "Here, here, here~~ I heard it!" ”

"Go and call all the people who should be called, it's going to be busy again!"

Moments later, the loud and continuous sound of bells resounded throughout the city.

Alarm bells with specific meanings echoed throughout the city, and the soldiers, whether on leave or on duty, immediately ran to their posts according to the rules of the bells and what they had learned in their usual training, while at the construction sites, the overseers immediately calmed the workers and ordered the leaders of each group to end their work early and return to their homes to stand by, while they themselves went to the nearest emergency assembly point and waited for instructions on the next step.

In this way, everyone was moving at the same time, some returning to their homes to stand by, some going to the designated assembly points, some going directly to the southern city walls, while groups of vigilantes ran out of the stations in the neighborhoods, running through the streets and alleys while reading out the concise and easy-to-understand "emergency information" - everything was rehearsed a long time ago.

Of course, there were people who panicked when the alarm bells rang, and it was mostly the last group of new residents who had joined Cecil's territory before winter, and although they had received a basic education in common sense, they had not caught up with the rehearsal of the aberrant attack, but these people were quickly pacified - the ubiquitous vigilantes and the deliberately dispersed "old residents" would tell these new neighbors what was going on, and those who had experienced the battle of the new Cecil Territory were the calmest at this moment, and they were not panicked, And it is also possible to judge the current situation from the bell based on what you have learned from the advance drill: the bell is two short and two long, which means that the enemy is still far away and will not arrive until a few days later, and the city will now be prepared for battle in an orderly manner.

This is quite a "stable" situation.

The experienced inhabitants who judged the situation from the bells began to tell their new neighbors what to do next: to maintain order, to wait at home for the lord's orders, and to be ready to support the defenses of the realm within their means, which was the duty and obligation of every Cecil citizen.

Since settling in this barbaric land almost on the border of human civilization, Cecil Territory has always been ready to face challenges, the first battle of Cecil Territory was just the beginning, and since then, Gawain has not relaxed the preparation of the inhabitants of the territory - unlike the era of peace or the peaceful country, this frontier must always be ready for the whole people to face the war, and once the war really breaks out, whether the residents have done enough preparation drills can even determine the life and death of this territory, Of course, he did not dare to let his guard down in this regard.

But not everyone will figure out what happened to Cecil.

In the prisoner of war camp north of Knight Street, more than a dozen Typhon soldiers, knights, and mages are still in their cells.

They had been held here for several days, but apart from the usual interrogations, they had not been mistreated, and the so-called cells had been converted from sturdy old barracks, with the addition of magic mechanisms for early warning inside and outside, and the living conditions were no worse than ordinary barracks.

These captured Typhon soldiers thought that they would face an extremely cruel test after being captured by the legendary Duke of Ansu, but they did not expect that after this, they were not sentenced to hanging, and they were not beaten, in addition to restricting their freedom, they were treated in a way that can almost be described as "favorable", and after thinking about it, they felt that this was most likely what Thorderlin had won for them - the elven ranger was obviously an old acquaintance of the founding hero of Ansu, This favor brought them prisoners of war who should have been executed in exchange for incredible preferential treatment, and in the face of such treatment, the feelings of the Typhon soldiers were also extremely complicated.

With mixed feelings and nothing to do, all the captured Typhon warriors could do was think about their lives and discuss how long they and the others would continue to be imprisoned.

They had been having this discussion a moment before the alarm bell rang, but as soon as the alarm bell rang, they stopped.

A knight of Typhon stood up suddenly, listening intently to the bell outside, with a look of surprise on his face: "What happened outside?" ”

"I don't know, it sounds like an alarm," one of the mages also stood up, trying to put his face close to the deliberately raised window inlaid with fine steel bars, he wished he could summon a mage's eye to see what was going on outside, but the inside and outside of the cell were full of runes and traps designed to monitor mages, and it was only self-inflicted to use mana at will, "I saw a lot of soldiers running out of the barracks!" ”

"Alert? Soldiers on the move? The knight who spoke before was stunned, and his face suddenly showed joy, "Could it be that our people are calling?" The war started ahead of schedule ?! ”

"No way, even if the war starts from the East Wolf Castle Line, how can the army fight from the border all the way to this in a short time," said the other knight at once, "maybe it is suppressing slave labor...... After all, it is a newly established pioneer collar. ”

The third knight also stood up and lowered his voice: "This ...... Could it be an opportunity? ”

The people in the cell suddenly fell silent, and a pair of eyes began to look around uneasily, as if they were afraid that the words spoken in a low voice would also reach the ears of the Ansu soldiers standing guard outside.

“…… We don't have a good chance of escaping," the last mage who never spoke finally broke the silence, "There are Ansu people everywhere here, have you noticed the discipline of the soldiers outside?" Even if the situation is chaotic, they won't give us a chance. ”

The knight who spoke just now was a little unwilling: "But if you don't run now......"

Before the knight could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the door: "If you run away now, I really can't save you!" ”

The Typhon warriors were taken aback, and only then did they notice that Thorderlin was already standing at the door, and the high-ranking elven ranger looked at the "subordinates" in front of him, and sighed for a long time: "Actually, I don't want to come." ”
