"The bacon and dry food were prepared a few days ago, and five portions have been packed, which is enough for half a month if you save a little food. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Nicotine replied respectfully.

Du Dian glanced at him, from the housekeeper's point of view, nicotine is still very qualified, basically he doesn't need to worry about anything, and said, "Go and wake them up, come and gather in front of me in five minutes." ”

"Yes." Nicotine said yes and went upstairs.

Dudian made his way to the lobby to check the trunk for missing parts of the cannon.

After only about three minutes, Black Scar, Old Kim, Katch and Ginis rushed downstairs one after another, although Du Dian was usually rarely strict with them, and his attitude had always been relatively plain or even gentle, but several people knew that this young man was the same character, and did not dare to cross the time.

Dudian looked at the four of them, all of them had changed into the mid-level hunter suits he had bought from the Elemental Temple the other day. This hunting set is an exclusive artifact of the Elemental Temple, and one of the few products sold by the Temple to the outside world, which is forbidden to be made and sold by other consortia, and can only be purchased occasionally on the underground black market.

"If you two go outside the wall for the first time, if you don't understand something, ask Black Scar and Kuchi, don't leave the team." Dudian instructed Ginise and Kim.

Ginise nodded slightly.

Lao Jin's expression was a little nervous and faintly excited, although he used to be a knight of light and had never been outside the wall, but when he chatted with Black Scar in prison, he knew more things outside the wall, both afraid and yearning.

"Have breakfast and get ready to go." Dudian commanded.

Nicotine immediately asked the maid to serve breakfast, and everyone quickly finished eating, and carried the trunk containing the cannon and the barrel rolled in linen to the carriage outside, and Dudian sat in the carriage to guard, letting Lao Jin drive the carriage, and the three of Black Scars rode in front to lead the way.

"If anyone comes to me, I won't be able to." Before leaving, Dudian admonished Nicotine, "Don't reveal my whereabouts. ”

Nicotine respectfully promised.

Seeing a few people leave the castle, the smile on Nicotine's face slowly retracted, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer.

……

……

When the carriage reached a remote path, Dudian saw that there was no one around, so he asked Lao Jin to remove the Lane family flag from the carriage and turn around to continue on another road. Two or three hours later, the crowd gradually left the living quarters and came to the wilderness near the Biansai, and while they were driving, Dudian suddenly smelled several scents gathered together and approached them.

"Other consortia?" Dooddy was puzzled.

Soon the smell came into his sight, and it was a group of soldiers in military uniforms, galloping on horseback, and soon catching up with them, but the latter did not seem to be coming at them, and drove their horses without slowing down, and drove straight past the carriage and towards the fortress in front of them.

Du Dian slowly lowered the curtain, his eyes flashed, it seemed that the situation of the war in the border fortress was even more tense than what was said in the newspaper.

A moment later, the crowd came to the fortress.

Du Dian clearly saw that the number of soldiers in this fortress was several times more than before, and in the open space of the barracks behind the fortress, the patrolling soldiers were extremely dense, and there were soldiers who were practicing in the open space, and many of these soldiers were fifteen or sixteen years old who were the same age as Du Dian. At a glance from afar, Du Dian could see that these trained young soldiers were rusty in their movements, weak in limbs, and obviously lacking in training, not like regular young soldiers trained in the barracks.

Thinking of the forced conscription he had heard earlier, Dudian frowned slightly and withdrew his gaze.

"Stop!" Black Scar, Kachi, and Ginis, who were leading the way in front, were stopped by the soldiers and shouted, "This is a border fortress, idlers retreat!" ”

Du Dian pushed the car door, jumped out of the carriage, took out his hunter's medal, and said, "We are the hunters of the New World Consortium, hunting outside the wall in the early stage. ”

The soldier took his medal and looked at it twice, turned his gaze to Kachi and the others, and said, "What about you?" ”

Kachi snorted coldly, took out his hunter's medal from the inner armor, threw it to the soldier, and said, "Look carefully." "His original Hunting Medal has long been confiscated, and this medal was reissued by Dudian to Forint, and any consortium can apply to the Temple to make the Hunter's Medal.

The soldier looked at it twice, confirmed that it was correct, looked at Black Scar and the others, retracted his gaze, walked to the carriage in which Dudian was riding, and said, "Is there anyone else in the car?" ”

Dudian said: "No one, just some hunting tools." ”

"Let me see." The soldier said indifferently.

Dudian shrugged, casually.

The soldier turned over the back of the carriage and saw several suitcases and barrels wrapped in cloth, opened them and checked them, but saw nothing suspicious, then turned back and said to Dudian: "You use these things to hunt?" ”

Du Dian smiled faintly and said, "How to hunt, do I need to report to you?" ”

The soldier's face changed slightly, and with a cold snort, he turned back into the group, and motioned for his companion to open the floodgates.

Dudian turned back into his car, passed through the passage of the fortress, and soon came to the outside of the towering fortress, which was desolate as far as the eye could see. Following the direction indicated by Dudian, the three Black Scars continued to lead the way in front.

After leaving the fortress for several miles, Dudian lifted the curtain, and saw some rough rivet hammers and war knives scattered on the ground along the way, and some footprints and dried blood stains remained on the ground on the sparse plain.

"It seems that there was a war here not so long ago." Kutchi, who had opened the way in front of him, looked around and said with a calm gaze.

Blackscar and Ginise noticed this, and there was a little confusion in their eyes.

Du Dian suddenly saw something and said, "Stop." ”

Lao Jin quickly reined in the horse's rope and looked back.

Du Dian pushed the car door and jumped down, ignoring the inquiring glances of Kachi and the others, and went straight to the grass more than ten meters away, picking up a short knife, this short knife was silver in color, the blade was stained with blood, and the handle was engraved with strange carvings.

He looked carefully, his brows furrowed slowly, and he closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, he had been in and out of the fortress several times, and the weapons equipped by the soldiers who were stationed at the fortress were equipped with short knives, but the size seemed to be slightly longer, and the handle was different from this. He flicked the blade with his fingers, making a buzzing sound, and his brow furrowed even more, and he was silent.

"How?" Kuchi came on horseback, wondering.

Dudian came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "It's nothing. He put away his sword, returned to the carriage, and said, "Go on." ”

……

……

More than two hours later.

Everyone finally saw the huge wall, towering like a mountain, covering the sky and the sun. As the carriage approached, Dudian jumped out of the carriage and saw at a glance the Knight of Light, who was on duty in front of the passage, stepped forward to show his Hunter's Medal, and opened the passage, allowing Katch and Ginis to carry the fort into the passage.

When the two knights of light saw these things, they looked indifferent, and did not come forward to check, they were only responsible for inspecting the ones brought back from outside the wall, and as for the ones brought out, they didn't bother to pay attention to them.

After unloading the things, Dudian handed over the horses and carriage to the two Knights of Light to look after, and led Kachi and the others through the long passage.

Halfway through the passage, Kuchi paused, looked at Dudian who continued to advance, and said, "Don't you need to pray?" ”

Dudian glanced back at him as he walked and said, "I said we don't believe in God. ”

Kachi was stunned for a moment, looked up at the goddess of hunting carved on the rock wall, the bewitching body and beautiful face, as moving as a witch in the shadows of the light, he let go of the salute, bowed his head and bowed silently, closed his eyes and prayed for a moment, and then raised the salute and caught up with Dudian.

Pushing open the heavy iron door, Du Dian glanced around, and after seeing no monsters, he turned over and came out, looking at the gunpowder box that had been piled up next to the giant wall last time, covered by an oilcloth, and should not have been wet by the rain.

"Whew!" Lao Jin stepped out of the passage and looked at the world in front of him, his face was full of surprise, this is the scenery outside the wall?

Ginise also glanced around, looking at the grass and trees beyond the wall.

Dudian put all the suitcases together and opened them, took out the parts inside and assembled them, his hands and feet were nimble, and he spliced them together in just a few minutes, and under the base of the cannon was a two-wheel rolling turret, and the barrel in front was twenty centimeters in caliber and one hundred and sixty centimeters long, which belonged to a small primitive turret.

Seeing this strange weapon that Dudian had spliced, Katchi, Ginise and the others were full of surprise and curiosity.

"This can't be a catapult, right?" Kachi observed for a moment and wondered, "But I didn't see the bungee cord, it's strange." ”

Dudian did not answer his question, but instructed the others, "Bring everything here and follow me." ”

Kuchi and the others had already noticed the gunpowder box piled up next to him, and the more curious Kuqi even took advantage of Dudian's inattention to pull in from the edge of the box and felt out the explosive powder inside, and when he saw the foul-smelling powder, his doubts were even greater.

"What is this, poison?" Kutch asked curiously, holding the six explosives crates with ease.

Dudian was noncommittal, "If you eat it." (To be continued.) )
