When I asked, my uncle smiled mysteriously.

"Gunpowder, isn't that strange, didn't you ask about the smell of gunpowder in the air?"

Gunpowder does smell of gunpowder, but how can the black powder produced in the city be so powerful.

"Uncle, it is impossible for black powder to have such great power." My uncle looked back at me with a contemptuous look.

"Naive, a barrel of black powder naturally can't have such a great power, but what if I use all the gunpowder accumulated in the city for more than ten years." I went, and it turned out that my uncle had buried all the gunpowder in the city, and the power was indeed considerable.

"Uncle, how much gunpowder does that have to be?" I asked curiously.

"If you don't have a thousand, you have to have an 800 tons. And I also used the principle of cloudburst bombs to greatly increase the power of gunpowder. I put gunpowder in barrels and packets of gunpowder as a projectile underneath. ”

"When the mechanism is activated, the gunpowder in the small powder bag ignites, and the barrel is thrown into the air, and then the whole barrel of gunpowder explodes in the air, so that the power of gunpowder can be fully exerted. Well, it's not bad, the ground has disappeared for five or six meters. And I guess with this lesson, these werewolves will not dare to attack Simon easily. ”

Indeed, it is terrible that an army should be wiped out in the blink of an eye. I looked at the mess outside the city, and it seemed that it was safe for the time being, but it was getting darker, and I began to have a bad feeling again.

"Uncle, it's going to be dark soon, and the werewolves should be attacking at night." My uncle nodded.

"It's going to be soon, but it should be a little later, when the people start to get sleepy. Their eyes can see their surroundings even if they don't have light, but we can't. ”

Alas, these guys, if it were a night raid, it would be a real headache.

"Everyone is divided into two groups to rest, one will let everyone eat more, and there will be a big battle to fight in the evening. Beware of enemy sneak attacks, and don't fall asleep and lose your life. Xiaoyu, you look at the south gate, I'll go sleep for a while. ”

What, you can rest assured that such a difficult task is entrusted to me. Well, you all go to bed, and I'll watch for myself.

It was soon getting dark, and I could only wait and look out, hoping that the enemy would not come now, for I had not eaten yet. Ah, this is, I seem to smell the smell of rice.

Next to me, General Xiao Zhou was walking towards me with a food box, it was so immediate, otherwise I would starve to death in a while.

"General Xiao Zhou, it's good for you to come and see me, and you brought something to eat, it's too polite." I reached out and took it.

"Your Excellency is polite, I can come back alive this time because of my rescue. My injury was just right, so I asked my subordinates to prepare a few side dishes, but unfortunately the war was tense, otherwise I would have been able to have a few drinks with the adults. ”

I don't think I need to drink, I'm famous for pouring three glasses, and drinking can really delay things. And my uncle also asked me to observe the situation here, I can't afford to have an accident.

"Come on, let's go to the city tower to eat, it's better if you don't have it, and save you a delay." By the way, pay attention to the situation outside the city, there is something to call me. ”

It is also a good choice to have dinner with General Xiao Zhou in your spare time. When I came to the castle tower, I set the table and took out the food and drinks. Although the dish is not sumptuous, it is very delicate. I picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and they tasted much better than what I ate at the State Guest House.

"General Xiao Zhou really has a heart, knowing that I haven't eaten, and he brought food to see me, I was moved." I also made a gesture of shedding tears, and I didn't think that I would start to become hypocritical after such a long time.

"My lord's words are serious, and this time my brother asked me to thank you for saving your life." General Xiao Zhou is quite polite.

"It's serious, General Xiao Zhou is serious, but I didn't be able to rescue the three hundred cavalry, it's a pity." I sighed a few times as I spoke.

"Don't be sad, adults, they died in battle, which is glorious."

"Having said that, I still feel ......" Before I could finish my sentence, the sentry outside came in to report the situation.

"My lord, come and take a look outside, there seems to be a situation."

I didn't dare to delay this, but fortunately, I ate something just now, and my heart is much more steady. We came to the city walls, and I looked in the direction the sentry was pointing, and there seemed to be ripples on the water of the moat. Isn't there something that wants to swim over?

"My lord, what should we do, do we have to report to the military advisor and the city lord." The soldier next to me asked.

"Well, let me take a look at it first." I took out my binoculars and looked at the surface of the water, and it did seem to be something, but it wasn't a werewolf, but something red, almost covering the moat, what the hell was this?

No, I can't see things clearly. I picked up a torch and threw it straight at the red thing. Something interesting happened, the red thing seemed to be afraid of fire, and immediately avoided it. But the torch was soon extinguished, and the red thing continued to move along the river, and it seemed that it would soon reach the other side of the river.

"No, you guys hurry up and call me uncle, don't delay for a moment. Also, if you still have any oil or anything that you prepared during the day, you should also get ready. Tell the sergeant to light more torches, I think those things seem to be afraid of fire. Whatever it is down there, it's not a good thing. ”

I tell everyone to act quickly, and I hope that my uncle will not make too much trouble before he comes. But I still need to determine what the hell is down there, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a solution.

"Hey, which of you is good at archery, go get a rope. Tie the rope to the arrow and shoot it that way. "Soon, a soldier came, and shot the arrow as I commanded. Soon, the arrow shot into the water, as if it had hit something.

We pulled the arrow back, and there was an extra bug on it. This insect is so familiar, isn't this an ant, but this ant is about the size of a human finger, and the red body is really scary to look at.

"Ahh The soldier who grabbed the bug suddenly screamed, as if he had been bitten by something. When I looked over, the soldier was missing a large piece of flesh and skin, and the bones inside were exposed. What kind of ant is this, eating human flesh?

"Why, this is a man-eating ant." I voiced my panic.

"Man-eating ants, how can there be such a thing in this place, it must be a mistake." General Xiao Zhou didn't believe me.

"It shouldn't be wrong, this is a man-eating ant, we must not let them in, or we will all die. No, it should be even worse, and it will be eaten alive to white bones. ”

When I said the word white bones, the soldiers next to me were stunned for a moment. Everyone will not be afraid of dying in battle, but if they are really eaten, everyone will have a chill down their spine.

It's over, now my uncle hasn't come yet, what should I do, hurry up.

"My lord, no, these man-eating ants have already crossed the river."
