I'm not scaring you, the fastest novel, every minute you work now, and you have one more chance to survive when the war starts. Unless you want to be food on the tables of those aliens, especially like you, Tom. Fat and lazy, the aliens like it very much. "A man in his forties stretched out his big hairy hand and patted the fat guy passing by like a bear, and then a smile cracked on his bearded face.
The fat man complained, "Don't scare me, Uncle Harley, I've been pretty serious about my work." ”
"That's right, Tom, you're fat and slow, but you're a good mason, and I'd be happier if you moved a little faster." The man named Harley nudged Fat Tom, "Go ahead, remember to keep the wall solid, and don't let those damn aliens fall down." ”
They were on the walls of the mountain castle, and although the walls of the mountain castle were already notoriously high and thick, the lord of the castle, Lord Remington, was still not at ease, and demanded that the walls be increased by five meters in order to resist the attacks of the aliens. Therefore, most of the masons, stonemasons and many workers in the mountain city were transferred to the side of the city wall to form a huge construction team. Halley was the overseer of the team, and he had to make sure that the heightened walls were completed within the deadline and that they could withstand the battering of war. If he can't do that, he's going to lose his head. Harley does not dare to take it lightly, and has to strictly grasp the progress of the project every day, as well as the quality of construction, etc. As soon as there was a slight discrepancy, he would order the craftsmen to correct it immediately.
The entire mountain city is in a state of mobilization.
The soldiers of the mountain castle underwent rigorous training in the camp and outside the city every day, and the fires in the weapons workshops did not stop for a moment, producing as many weapons and equipment as possible. Most of the men in the city were conscripted as militias, responsible for support and logistics in times of war. The vast majority of the merchants in the mountain city chose to leave, and none of the merchants wanted to stay in the city that was about to turn into a battlefield, except for those whose families were in the mountain city.

The people were busy, and Remington wasn't idle. Ever since he became Lord of Upper Mountain City, he was initially keen to loot his younger brother Parson. But Parson never appeared again as if he had evaporated from the world, and then orders came from Allen's territory, asking Yamashiro to mobilize and prepare for a possible war. Remington's attention was only then diverted from looking for Parson.
At this moment, he was in the barracks, watching the soldiers train, and came to a corner of the barracks, where ten beast chariots were parked. There were sappers who were doing a routine test on these soldiers, all of whom were from Allen's side, and Remington walked over and asked, "Does anyone know how long it will take for Belmode to return?" ”
An officer bowed, "Soon, my lordship." And this time Lord Allen will come with him, at least that's what the message from Lord Belmode says. ”
"Lord Allen, he's back?" Remington nodded: "That's really good news, I hope he will bring more troops." ”
Letting the soldiers get on with their work, Remington left the barracks. He came with a guard to the city walls, which were now full of scaffolding, on which craftsmen worked. Remington approached Harley and asked, "How's the work going?" ”
"All the best, my lord." "Rest assured," Harley assured, "They'll be done on time." ”
"Hold on tighter, after the walls are raised, we will also push catapults and artillery up."
"I see, sir." Harley turned around and yelled, "Listen, from today onwards, the working hours will be extended by four hours, and you guys have to move faster." If you want to live, give me all the hard work! ”
Remington nodded, holding on to the wall and looking out of the city. From here, you can faintly see the tower a kilometer away. Towers like this stretch all the way to the mountains of Ragma, spanning the entire Shadow Heights. Remington thought, hoping the horn on the tower wouldn't blow.
He prayed so secretly almost every day.
But today, the gods turned a deaf ear and did not hear his prayers.
On one of the towers closest to the Lagmar Mountains, a veteran bragged to two recruits: "When I was your age, I killed a highland boar." You know that big guy, it's the size of a cow. Its fangs can make a hole in your belly. But it's such a big guy, and it's not fallen under my knife. So there's no need to be afraid of interracial or anything, and I'm skeptical, those guys are really going to show up? Our mountain city is not a big place, and there is not necessarily any benefit in capturing the mountain city. ”
"But I heard my father say that if the mountain town falls, the mountain roads of Lyon will be in danger. And this mountain road is the only place to pass through to the southern land, so if the alien race gathers troops in the south, the probability of the mountain city being attacked is very high. A recruit who had just turned sixteen said, his face still not faded from the youthful greenness.
The veteran laughed, "I know your father, son. Old Jaeger was a blacksmith, when did he become a military strategist. Yo, if he's so capable, Lord Remington will have to ask him to be the commander of the army. ”
The recruit's face turned red: "Father said that it was the news he heard, and it was very reliable. ”
"Alright, kid." The veteran shook his head and said, "My experience has taught me one thing, only what I see with my own eyes is the truth." Everything else is just speculation. And speculation has always been unreliable. ”
Another recruit had been standing by the tower's fence since the beginning, closely monitoring the direction on the other side of the mountain. At this time, the old soldier turned around: "What are you doing, little Tony, do you see the wild wolf in the mountains?" Don't be afraid, those things won't leave the mountains. ”
"No, those shouldn't be wild wolves." The recruit hurriedly said, "Maybe you should take a look for yourself." ”
The veteran walked over with a frown, picked up the monoculars resting on the ground, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
The recruit pointed in one direction towards the mountains: "Over there, I seem to have seen a dark shadow haunting just now; It was too fast for me to see clearly, but from the silhouette, it didn't look like a wolf or any other animal. Will it be ......?"
He didn't say any more, but the meaning was obvious.
The veteran held up his binoculars and looked in the direction his colleagues had pointed out that it was a trail on the edge of a mountainous area, but there was nothing there. The veteran muttered, "You must have seen the 'flowers', there is nothing at all." He moved his binoculars, and when his gaze shifted to the mountain wall on the left side of the trail, the veteran's expression suddenly froze. On that mountain wall, a lean 'lean' body was climbing upward. The creature had dull copper-colored skin, and it was 'shining' metallic reflections in the sunlight. His spine was strangely 'exposed', and on either side of his arm were bone blades that looked like crescents.
He seemed to find himself under surveillance, and suddenly turned his head to look at the veteran in the binoculars. Then the veteran saw a face like a bat magnified many times, and eyes that shimmered with the cold light of ice chips.
The binoculars in the veteran's hand fell to the ground, turned around and said in a trembling voice: "It's a blade demon, it's an alien race!" Quick, blow the horn! ”
The recruits sitting on the ground struck a stir and hurried to the other side of the tower, blowing the horn hanging from the tower with all his might. Woo-woo, the sound of the horn sounded over the tower, far into the distance. A moment later, another tower a kilometer away also blew a horn, and then the horn began to sound one after another. It spread quickly on the Shadow Heights, and a moment later, Remington, who had just stepped down the city wall, heard a horn from outside the city, and his body immediately trembled.
What he feared finally happened.
The same highlands, the wild highlands are much quieter. Since the Empire's survey team found the ruins of no research value, the team left the Highlands, returning the Wild Highlands to its former tranquil appearance. The large lake located near the ruins is now overflowing, and the sun shines on the lake, and the scenery is beautiful. Some greybacks hover on the lake and floating tree trunks, pecking at small fish or insects in the trunks of trees.
Insects chirp and birds chirp, and the atmosphere in the highlands is peaceful.
Suddenly, a grayback bird seemed to be frightened, and it fluttered its wings and flew up with a scream. On the surface of the water beneath the bird, the clear water of the lake can see the bottom of the lake below. At the bottom of the lake, a huge eyeball suddenly appeared. A golden 'colored' eyeball, and then the eyeball closed again, but the surface of the lake began to vibrate. The flock of frightened birds flew up, circled in flocks over the lake for a few times, and then flew off into the distance. It's like meeting a natural enemy, with a bit of a taste of running away.
At this time, the lake has begun to boil, and bubbles appear on the surface of the lake and burst again. This vision lasted for half an hour before it gradually stopped. After a long time, a series of bubbles rose in the center of the lake. Then a long black hair came to the surface, and finally, someone raised his head in the lake.
It was an indescribably beautiful teenager, his facial features were 'fine' and beautiful, with a kind of neutral 'sex' beauty. Notably, there was a golden vertical stripe in his pupils, like the reflection of some beast's eyes in the sun. Then the boy swam awkwardly towards the shore of the lake, as if he were using his hands and feet for the first time, and there was a great sense of incongruity in his movements. But he quickly adjusted his form, and by the time he was not far from the shore, he was already as skilled as a swimmer.
He climbed ashore, unexpectedly unclothed, and his 'naked' body was covered with some whitish cortex, like an old skin that had just fallen off. He looked at his hands and feet, stretching his fingers repeatedly, as if he was extremely curious about his body.
At this time, the ground near the lake began to shake, and the surface of the lake even appeared in a circle of ripples. It wasn't long before a giant beast emerged from the woods, crushed several trees, and stopped in front of the boy's eyes. The giant beast looked a little like a turtle, but there were tentacles on the turtle shell, and six thick 'legs' squatted down, and it stretched out its huge head and gently squatted on the young man's body, looking like a kiss.
The boy jumped directly on its head, pointed to the north, opened his mouth and said in an unclear tone, "Go there...... Father, it's back......"
