If you look down from the air, you can see that more than 100 kilometers south of Midnight City, there are many mottled black patches on the white snow, like scars on snow-white skin. These are the wounds of war, and even the heavy snow cannot hide these new wounds. Limited by the scale of industrial production, the new era of warfare has rarely used large-scale firepower coverage, and the environmental damage is far lower than that of the old era of warfare, but it still leaves indelible traces on the earth.

High in the sky, the two armies could be seen facing each other several kilometers apart. The two sides built simple fortifications according to the terrain, and behind the fortifications was a temporary camp. The camps on both sides were neatly organized, using marching tents of basic uniform specifications. These tents all have basic radiation protection and can effectively protect ordinary warriors, especially those who only have a first-order ability enhancement or even no ability enhancement. However, people who grow up in the wilderness environment will have mutated tissues on their bodies, and their resistance to radiation is far greater than that of ordinary pure-blood humans. Although there will be a large increase in environmental radiation after snowfall, with limited protection, their survival is not a problem, at least for a short period of time.

It was already dawn and the snow had just stopped. The ground was covered with a layer of snow that was not too thick, and the air still smelled of gunsmoke. At the front of the positions of both sides, some of the physically strong soldiers had already crawled out of their bunkers, vigilantly observing the enemy situation on the opposite side.

Scattered snowflakes began to drift in the sky again, and the thick, low-hanging lead cloud almost pressed down on the ground. The soldiers on both sides looked at the sky, cursed, and wrapped their snow cloaks more tightly to prevent the snow flakes from burrowing into their clothes.

On the southern front, warrior uniforms and military tents were painted with a flame-spewing power mech. In the corner of the logo, there is also a shiny piece of metal. This is another great force entrenched in the south of Midnight City, the army of the Alloy Brotherhood. In the headquarters in the middle of the camp, several officers with almost all their bodies covered in alloy armor were discussing fiercely around the sand table, and in the center was a burly officer with a stiff beard, and his eagle-like eyes were staring at the opponent's position on the sand table.

"Damn weather!" A staff officer slammed his fist on the sand table.

"yes, it's snowing again. In this case, it may take about a week before a large-scale offensive can be launched. Another staff officer said.

The commander, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Measure the intensity of the radiation!" ”

After a few minutes, the technical officer took out the ambient radiation number and looked at the curve on the screen that sloped upward, and the commander's face was gloomy enough to compare to the lead cloud outside. Attacking in such an environment can cause irreversible damage to the bodies of ordinary fighters, and the weakest fighters may even have less than a year to live. Now that the commander has nearly half more troops than the enemy on the opposite side, but he is unable to attack due to the harsh environment, his mood is naturally not much better.

He now commands more than half of the Alloy Brotherhood's army, and there are five power mechs parked in a makeshift hangar at the back of the camp. But he was not optimistic at all. Although the number of enemies on the opposite side is not very large, they have an exceptionally good command, and they have elite warriors and powerful people. As the supreme commander of the army, what worries him more is the enemy's advanced and complete equipment, which means that the opponent has a strong equipment and supply capacity. This is the most terrible enemy, and there are as many armed mobs in the wilderness as you want, as long as you give them a gun, both men and women are qualified and dangerous warriors.

This army from the north is not only suppressed in the rank of the able, but also seems to be faintly above the Brotherhood of Alloy in terms of technical and industrial strength. The commander originally brought out seven power mechs, but as soon as the battle began, the power mechs that charged ahead were destroyed by more than a dozen infantry missiles flying from the opponent, forcing him to remove the mechs and withdraw these new-age heavy tanks to the protection of the infantry line and use them as mobile batteries. After all, it is only in the number of fighters that the Alloy Brotherhood has an overwhelming advantage.

Even this advantage was temporary, and the commander was well aware of it.

He spewed two white gases out of his nose and asked in a muffled voice, "How many anti-radiation agents do we have?" ”

The quartermaster quickly checked the records and said, "There are 269 in all, sir!" ”

“269？ That's not enough! The commander's eyebrows were almost twisted together, but he couldn't think of how to repel the enemy with just two or three hundred soldiers. On the other side, there are thousands of warriors, and those with high-level abilities are even more advantageous in terms of quantity and quality!

After thinking for ten minutes, the commander waved his hand and ordered to pay close attention to the weather conditions, and then disbanded to rest.

Just a few kilometers away on the north side of the hill, Li sat a little lazily, holding a piece of letter paper in her left hand, reading slowly, while grabbing a dagger in her right hand, cutting the roast meat on the plate in front of her for a while, and then picking it with the tip of the dagger and putting it into her mouth. There were only a few lines on the letter, but Leigh had been reading it for nearly twenty minutes. Opposite her, Rigoray sat cross-legged, his broad back resting on a pillar, his eyes closed. His face had thinned a little, his skin had become darker, and his broad body wrapped in a leather jacket gave people a greater sense of security. Compared with a year ago, he has undergone a lot of vicissitudes, and even has become a little whiter, but his momentum is more and more dignified, and nothing seems to be able to move him.

With a snap, Leigh finally ended the long process of reading the letter and threw the letter to Rigore. Rigoray took the letter, opened his eyes, and swept it all in. In fact, there are only three or four sentences on the paper, and no matter how you look at it, it won't take half a minute.

"! What is this! Gone again without a sound! Li scolded indignantly, and thrust the dagger into the barbecue. But it backfired, and the dagger did not reach anything, but struck it on the steel military dinner plate with a clang. It turned out that the barbecue on the plate had already been eaten, and Li's insertion was unexpectedly vicious, and the dagger directly pierced the steel plate.

Lili gasped heavily, and under the calm gaze of Rigore, she finally said with some reluctance: "Well, he left me at least one letter this time." But just a few words, leaving without explaining anything? Still with ...... Walk with that little girl who hasn't even grown hair! ”

Rigoray smiled and said, "Miss Medierri is not much younger than you. ”

Li grabbed the chestnut head hard, and was a little frantically angry, and said, "Even if she's not small...... Good! I'll admit, she's good-looking and has a better figure than me. But so what, can't he take me with him? ”

Rigore carefully folded the letter, handed it back to Leigh, and said, "I think the boss must have a reason to do this." Miss Medirri has incredible combat power, and the Sylvanas that the leader brought back this time is also amazingly powerful. The two of them will help the leader, and you and I are just ordinary people, and if you follow the leader, you will most likely become a burden to the leader. ”

"But! ......" Leigh clutched her head in anguish, almost ripping it off. She knew that what Rigorei said was right, but she couldn't accept Sue's way of throwing herself down again and disappearing, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it, and her chest staggered there.

Moreover, the leader is not without explanations. The letter makes it clear that Crane, Midnight City, and the Iron Gate are all left to you and me. My understanding is that we will manage the land for the leader until he returns. In fact, it is very difficult to maintain such a large territory with our current capabilities. It's not an easy job. Rigore said calmly.

"Manage for him? Didn't he say in the letter that the three cities were left to us, and we could dispose of them at will. Hmph, that's a lot of money, it's not a small amount of money. We're there! Leigh gritted her teeth as she snatched the letter from Rigore's hand and tore it to shreds in a few blows. She grabbed the wine bottle next to her, smashed the bottleneck directly, poured most of the bottle of spirits into her stomach in a few big gulps, and then smashed the wine bottle to the ground!

Li's alcohol was over, but she drank too quickly and quickly, and her face turned red in the blink of an eye. The smell of wine began to emanate from under her delicate skin. Li suddenly laughed, and said while laughing, "Three cities! Hehe, you men, you think you know what I want!! ”

Li suddenly pulled off her blouse, stared straight at Rigolei, and said word by word, "Do you want a woman?" Want to give it to you right now! ”

Rigolei smiled a little bitterly and said, "This is not what you want. If I really did it, I will regret it afterwards, and you will regret it too. The boss is a good person, a rare good person. I believe that he would not have left suddenly unless it was a last resort. ”

At some point, Rei's eyes were filled with tears. She whimpered, cursed, and said, "But I want a man, what to do, what to do?" ”

Rigore sighed, but didn't know how to comfort him. Rei is stubborn and fragile at the same time, and this former Li, who used to be full of foul language, is actually still a child.

Li suddenly wiped away her tears, stood up suddenly, and said viciously: "Since the old lady has no man to want, you have to find a way to go to the fire, right?" Damn, someone! ”

A burly, fierce-looking warrior entered the tent, but he shuddered at the sight of Lioness.

"Go and open all the boxes marked Numbers 1 through 7 in the warehouse, and put down the potions inside, one for each person. I need everyone to be ready for battle in ten minutes. "Li, who gave the order, was calm and deep, and completely changed as a person.

Outside, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the radiation had reached a dangerous level, and the average soldier could not move in such an environment except for a sturdy elite like the herald. Leaving the tent that is resistant to radiation, it only takes an hour for an ordinary soldier to suffer fatal injuries.

The herald's face was a little pale, but he didn't dare to disobey Li's order, so he could only go out of the camp to convey the military order.

Only Rigore knew that those seven chests were full of anti-radiation potions, enough for all the warriors! Li has taken them with her since they came out, and they have been fighting for almost a month, but they have never been used. F
