It took Liu Lin and the others three days to barely reach the Watch Valley, which was closest to the Wuthering Strait.

It is the largest basin in the eastern plain of North Sanke and one of the country's most important obsidian reserves.

If it weren't for Rowan knowing the strategic value of this place, where would he be able to come almost in a straight line?

Although there may be about six or seven days to prepare, it takes a lot of energy to prepare for the unexpected.

"Honorable Baron, and this Mr. Liu!" Seeing that the destination was close at hand, the guide immediately said goodbye: "The subordinate task is complete, and now I will return to White Horse City to resume my life!"

Liu Lin was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Soldier, your locomotive?"

Luo Wen smiled slightly and didn't answer, and the guide immediately explained when he saw this: "Mr. Liu, please rest assured, our city lord has sold the locomotive to the baron at cost price, which can be regarded as a small support for the two of you!"

Subconsciously stroking the streamlined and slightly cold body, Liu Lin's face was full of surprise: "Bought it?" ”

Luo Wen immediately asked, "What? Mr. Liu doesn't like it?"

Liu Lin shook his head with a slight embarrassment on his face: "I like it, of course I like it!

Rowan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed an unusually strange smile. After nodding his head and signaling the guide to leave, he watched Liu Lin stroke the locomotive, with a contradictory expression that was both regretful and unhappy: "It's easy to talk about money, kill this lost one and settle the bill with gems!"

After speaking, he suddenly accelerated towards the Watch Valley, and Liu Lin, who kept muttering, took a slow step and followed closely.

"Tut-tut, rich! or still nobles rich!"

In one day, Baron Rowan, in the name of a nobleman, borrowed two heavily armed infantry squadrons to act in tandem with the garrison of Overwatch Valley.

Liu Lin suggested borrowing another weather forecaster. After all, fog is one of the most common types of natural weather, and although it is just one more person, it can help them identify many unnecessary disturbances.

In order to minimize the panic of ordinary people, the 201 people supported by Overwatch Valley signed a confidentiality agreement in advance.

Although Rowan had never really been involved in politics, he knew that the power of rumors was almost infinite. If we don't limit the spread of this matter as much as possible, who knows what will be spread in the mouths of people who don't know why?

Wuthering Strait, about 70 kilometers northeast of Watch Valley. On the east coast is the continent of Xizhou, where North Sanke is located, and on the west coast is Mani Island, which was once extremely rich in gold deposits.

But now it has long been deserted, and the islands with a radius of hundreds of kilometers are lonely in the sea, like a small piece of cake that has been divided from the western continent.

The closest position to the mainland in the south is only five kilometers away, so the strait has the appearance of a funnel that is wide in the north and narrow in the south.

To land on Mani Island, the only way to land is to take a boat detour through the shallows on the east and south coasts.

The west part of the opposite side of the two sides is full of cliffs with a height of 100 meters. Whenever the north wind howls in autumn and winter, the continuous rough "whistle" of nature can be heard within a kilometer of the shore.

At this time, it is the beginning of autumn. More than 200 people set up camp two kilometers from the sea! The forecasters, accompanied by Luo Wen and his wife, immediately made detailed predictions of the current environment and weather conditions.

In the end, they came to a conclusion that gave the two of them a headache: it would be foggy tomorrow evening, and it would be very large! It would blow from the sea in the northeast to the southwest inland.

This alone made Liu Lin and the others nervous. The natural climate is the natural climate, but what if you can take advantage of this weather if you are lost?

True or false, or when is it true and when is it false?

So Rowan ordered: Start today and make full preparations for defense. Tomorrow you will rest during the day and get up at three o'clock in the afternoon to meet the battle!

During this period, only a very small number of soldiers with hunting dogs were left on duty in turn. He wants to keep everyone in good spirits so that they don't get any unnecessary mistakes.

The next afternoon, around four o'clock. Everyone, including the forecasters, was concentrated in the northeast corner of the camp.

The rifle was loaded, and the wolfhound was excited, waiting for the fog to appear.

"Almost!" the young forecaster said softly, looking at the sky.

Less than a minute after the words fell, everyone felt a slight cool breeze on their cheeks. The next moment, looking at the direction of the sea gradually became hazy.

"Wear a mask!" Rowan immediately warned in a loud voice when he saw this.

More than 200 people immediately obeyed the order and took out a pullover mask from their waist bags and put it on.

Gas masks, which serve as a physical filter for the air. Although I don't know what the specific effect will be, judging from the experience of Liu Lin and the others, it should be able to have some effect.

Then, as the fog became thicker and thicker, Rowan continued to order: "As long as there is a woman's voice in any direction, you don't need to ask for instructions, shoot directly!"

"Yes, sir!"

The dull sound of two hundred people responding together through their masks echoed in the thickening fog. Liu Lin looked through the glass lenses in his eyes and saw that the common response just now had caused the fog to fluctuate significantly.

I couldn't help frowning, and after another two minutes, my fingers touched the cuffs, and I felt a burst of wetness: "Lord Baron, it's a real water mist!"

"Hmm!" Luo Wen nodded slightly: "But you still can't take it lightly, please stay up with us for one night, Mr. Liu!"

There was silence, and the pin drop could be heard. Everyone should be as quiet as possible so as not to miss any sounds.

No one dozed off, and no one suddenly fell unconscious. This is a good thing in the eyes of Liu Lin and the others, which means that either the mask works, or the lost does not appear at all.

The night was fast and fast, and when I fell asleep, it passed in the blink of an eye. But staying up like this, with his eyes wide open and engrossed in the time, there is a feeling that he is spending his days like years.

It's too slow!

Even if it feels slow, time is always ticking.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the fog finally dissipated. As the sun in the east revealed its orange-red figure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

For Luo Wen and Liu Lin, there was some regret in their hearts that they didn't see the enemy appear. But for the soldiers, this is equivalent to playing with the noble young master! It's just a little boring.

Eat, rest. For the soldiers, the next two days were like a field exercise. Patrolling, eating, and holding weapons.

Except for the super high training volume that doesn't have the usual pulling, everything else is not much worse. Many soldiers even thought in their hearts that the Baron had paid for them to take a vacation.

After all, they hadn't seen the lost, and they didn't know that fog could kill people!

Just as most of the soldiers quietly let their guard down, thinking that the next few days would be the same, a heavy fog that the young forecaster had not predicted was drifting from the direction of Stonehammer Town due north.

At this time, most of them, including Rowan, were resting, and even the soldiers on the alert were leaning on a certain place and dozing off.

Only Liu Lin was always uneasy, always feeling that the time prophesied by "God" was approaching, and something unexpected might happen.

Tossing and turning but not sleepy, Liu Lin sighed, let's go out for a walk.

As soon as I opened the curtain, I was stunned!

Then, immediately put on the gas mask as fast as he could, and shouted as hard as he could: "It's foggy!
