Jiang Shang still underestimated the opponent, or underestimated the opponent's lower limit.

The artificial sun is the most important facility in Haiming City, he provides lighting for the citizens, provides light for agriculture, provides energy for large facilities and city defense equipment, he is the cornerstone of the normal operation of human society, if you still want to mix in human society, no one will be disadvantageous to the solar furnace.

Losing a town from the Furnace of the Sun is a loss of hope, and even if it can survive on external supplies, the endless herd of abandoned beasts will eventually bring the realm back to darkness.

No one could have predicted that Catro would have the audacity to do something on the solar stove.

Directly endangering the solar furnace is definitely a capital offense afterwards.

However, if there is a problem with the combustion additive used as an artificial sun during processing, causing a temporary extinguishment of the furnace light, it may be difficult to find out what is going on afterwards.

"The fish oil is contaminated, and the land whales are not old enough." Or "the Night's Watch is shoddy", and for Catrow, there are many ways to shirk responsibility.

In the past, if the solar furnace needed to be overhauled and could not be used normally, it would be warned dozens of days in advance, so that the situation of sudden extinguishing after starting was unprecedented.

And the unknown is often the cause of fear.

The artificial sun that should have risen has been extinguished, and the sirens of the siege are spreading wildly, and the superposition between the two has multiplied the threat of the situation.

The citizens who are accustomed to peace are stunned and unbelieving at first, and then there is a natural chaos, a super chaos after five years! "Alarm weishenme sounded? The city is broken? The forsaken came in? What are we going to do? ”

Endless doubts and fears can cause great chaos, and both confusion and fear are contagious, especially in the midst of darkness, where rumors and confusion can spread as quickly as a plague.

In just a moment, Jiang Shang had already figured it all out.

Looking at the noise outside the window and the firelight in the distance, Jiang Shang gritted his teeth and turned to Hongling and said.

"It's more ruthless than expected, and it's like this, even if something happens to Ximen, the guards from other places don't dare to leave their stations to support. The solar furnace cannot be activated, and many of the equipment associated with it cannot be used. There's a good chance something is wrong with Simon, Hongling, can you go and help them? ”

But Jiang Shang's request was shaken by Hong Ling.

"Alone with the herd? Don't think too highly of me, if it's 'Nine Bright Ten Colors', you can still try it." And"

"And?"

"My mission is only to protect you, and you are their primary target. The city gate and I are closed, that's the city guard's business, heh, although Nei Ying is their chief, it's indeed a little ridiculous. ”

Hongling's words made Jiang Shang a little annoyed.

"The Second Night's Watch"

Jiang Shang's questioning was only half of what he said.

"The Night's Watch always has the best interests of humanity as its highest priority, boy, and I'm a professional. And, what I am doing now, is to fulfill this principle? ”

"Fulfillment of this principle? Is my personal life more important than the safety of the entire city?

"Yes, in my judgment, your personal life is indeed more important than this city. Yes, I'm not wrong. You, Jiang Shang, a person's life is more valuable than the 300,000 population of this city. ”

"The target of that Twilight Species is you, so even if this city is destroyed, I will only prioritize your mission."

Hong Ling's cold words suddenly made the angry Jiang Shang gasp, and his fiery heart cooled down all of a sudden.

The arrival of Hongling and the attack of the abandoned beast let him know that he was probably involved in some big incident, and now, this trouble is even bigger than expected, and perhaps, it is time for a showdown.

"Is it a star soul?"

Except for the indescribable star soul, Jiang Shang couldn't think of anything else that would make him so "priceless".

"Yes, what are you running?"

Before the words fell, the boy had already put on his cloak and ran out of the house. "The matter of the Star Soul, I hope that when I come back, you will give me an explanation.".

Silver Tooth bit lightly, and as soon as her footsteps were fast, Hong Ling caught up, she already knew Jiang Shang's plan.

"Sure enough, since I am so important and protecting me is your top priority, then, as long as I go to the West City Gate, you will follow."

"Boy, this time, count you ruthless, but there is no next time! Do you know how I deal with disobedient targets? Twist your limbs, tie them to a pillar, hide them in a box, and bury them in the ground, which is considered safe. ”

The girl threatened viciously, but Jiang Shang in front of her laughed out loud.

"Well, welcome. But the next time you threaten, remember to put your face on it, at least with a little murderous aura,. Such a cute smiling face is not intimidating. ”

"Smiley?"

Hong Ling subconsciously touched her cheek, and the unconsciously curvature at the corner of her mouth made her a little surprised.

Unconsciously, I did laugh, which is an undeniable fact.

That was from appreciating Jiang Shang's ignorance of life and death, or being happy that she was about to have the opportunity to vent violence, or accidentally overlapping this stubborn teenager with a certain back in the past, even she herself couldn't tell the difference.

"I'm happy to have a fight!"

seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Jiang Shang's slowness, and with a wave of his hand, a pale red flying skateboard appeared in front of him.

The skateboard is made of red energy, and the flame-like soul power is rapidly solidifying, and the unreal is moving towards reality.

It is said to be a flying skateboard, more like a small boat, without wheels, with a streamlined body and four jet ports at the rear and tail.

As soon as it appeared, it was completely unreasonable to get rid of the constraints of gravity and float on the edge of Hongling.

This is the soul tool constructed by soul power, this is a high-level soul technique that has already been mastered in the third stage of the cultivation path, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Jiang Shang would definitely ask Hong Ling, "Didn't you say that you want to specialize in your own soul color", how could she practice this soul skill that obviously belongs to the blue soul color to this extent.

"Come up, this is faster and you have to be ready, I'm afraid when you get there"

"Will the Abandoned Beast target me first? I've thought of it a long time ago! ”

"Then, hold on, don't fall."

Under the full urging of Hongling, the skateboard streaked across the night sky like a meteorite.

In order to let this soul device exert its full strength, Hong Ling embedded her glorious level soul stone into the slot of the skateboard, and in an instant, the skateboard was deformed again, two jets appeared behind it, two wings appeared on both sides, and the speed doubled again.

That moment of acceleration almost made Jiang Shang fly out, but fortunately, he caught Hong Ling in time.

"Bastard, where are you caught!"

"Excuse me! I was careless. ”

Feeling the softness of his hands, but finding that he had actually touched the girl's peak, Jiang Shang hurriedly withdrew his hand.

But the touch is deeply impactful.

"It's big, it's soft, it's fragrant".

The two squeezed into the single-seater skateboard, too close to each other, and the body temperature and smell were conveyed to each other, and the teenager who had just entered puberty inevitably wanted to be in trouble.

As if sensing the thoughts of the person behind him, blushing, Hongling turned around and glared at him fiercely, seeing that someone was pretending to look down at the ants, only to consider that now is not the time to settle accounts, and continue to control the red meteor.

"I'm picking you up when I turn around!"

But when Jiang Shang looked down, he noticed that in the slot in the center of the skateboard, among the crimson Shining Soul Stone, there was a star shining.

The faint white, like a morning star in the night sky, although not very bright, but pierced the surrounding darkness, even the soul light of the Radiant Stone like a phoenix flame could not cover this little starlight,

"Shouldn't the Soul Stone be a solid color? So, isn't this a normal soul stone star soul?"

Retracting his thoughtful eyes, Jiang Shang turned his attention to the current target, which was about to face, I'm afraid, the real battlefield.

"Since Jihua has been launched, it is definitely a serial launch, and there is no possibility of turning back. If this attack was planned by Catello, then this is only the beginning, and it will be followed by a thunderous offensive...... I hope Liu Min and Zhao Xiaosong can catch up. ”

Hongling shook her head, and a bucket of cold water was splashed down.

"Those arrangements of yours? I'm not optimistic, the opponent has been planning for a long time, and you are a temporary arrangement. The key is that the comparison of strength between the two sides is no longer at the level, and in the face of absolute strength, resourcefulness is meaningless. ”

Jiang Shang could only smile bitterly, what Hongling said was that he also knew that Liu Min's brothers, no matter how they usually made trouble, were just civilians after all, and even if Catro couldn't use the guards, his personal Chamber of Commerce mercenaries were also well-trained warriors, using the people to deal with the soldiers? The consequences can be imagined.

"Do your best, peace with the destiny. And... It's not like we're out of the blue. ”

"Take care of yourself first, what's the point of calculating so much, with your current strength, if you don't do it, hang it up immediately."

Hong Ling pointed to the firelight gathering place in the distance, not far from the West City Gate.

"Ahem, if this abandoned beast siege is really commanded by that abandoned clan, I will naturally be the first target, don't worry. I'm mentally prepared. I didn't die that easily. ”

This time, Jiang Shang's words were not as calm as they used to be.

He knew that the target of the abandoned clan was him, and as soon as he appeared, he was afraid that the abandoned beast, which was much more terrifying than the lurkers, would pursue him frantically.

"Probably, the abandoned clan will attack the city, for the sake of me, with my bait, even if my jihua fails, where am my people, and the goal of the abandoned clan has been achieved, there is no need to continue to attack the city, at least the citizens and the city will be fine."

The young man's self-deprecation shocked Hong Ling, such words were heard too much among his comrades-in-arms in the past, and the soldier who said "at least so-and-so can live for me" will easily die in the next mission.

This is not superstition or habit, but if a soldier says such a thing, it is because he is not sure about the next battle, and if he fights with such a sacrificial readiness, he often does not value his life very much.

"If you have a responsible, self-sacrificing mentality, don't die in vain. Although it is true that they are coming at you, there is nothing wrong with you in itself, and there is no reason for you to die."

After a moment of silence, when Hongling thought that he had changed his attention, behind him, the evening breeze sent the laughter of a teenager.

"Hehe, sacrifice? Die? No kidding, Hongling, I'm not that conscious. ”

"The crisis can't be avoided, since others have come to the door, I just choose to take the initiative to face it. I'm afraid of death, isn't this your ace bodyguard, you have to protect me. ”

At the end of the sentence, it was a pretended relaxed chuckle, but Hongling continued to get to the bottom of it.

"Huh? I've done many bodyguard missions, and I've seen a lot of those bastards who are afraid of death, and they will try to shirk their responsibilities, and they can't wait to hide their bodies in the vault and hang their heads on the belt of their mothers. You don't take the initiative to seek death like this, it's not like you're afraid of death. ”

Hongling, who didn't plan to have too much contact with the mission target, became a little curious about this contradictory teenager

"What kind of background will make the teenagers who grew up in this peaceful city have the consciousness of dying in battle?"

Even, Hongling, who doesn't like to communicate with mission goals, will take the initiative to involve the topic in personal aspects.

"I'm afraid of death! I want to go outside to my parents, I want to be a real night watchman, I want to change this fucking shijie I have so many things I want to do, I'm probably more afraid of death than ordinary people"

Hongling could feel the trembling at the waistcoat, it was the smell of fear.

"The lurker of that day, the feeling that the demon who was going to eat me could die at any moment, the feeling of powerlessness in the face of death, even when I think about it now, makes me tremble."

Prey is always powerless in front of hunters, and that day, Jiang Shang truly experienced the horror of being close to death.

"Hongling, I'm not a warrior like you, I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of death, I'm also afraid that innocent people will die because of me, and I'm even more afraid that because of constant evasion, I will become a coward, forget my goals, and die of old age in shame and constant self-blame!"

"Young man, a talent like you is really destined to live for a short time, but compared to the bastard who huddles under the table and waits for death, you are indeed more likable, hold on!"

Under the infusion of soul power, two more tail flames appeared at the jet vent at the bottom of the skateboard, and the speed of the skateboard doubled again, and the two of them had become meteors in the eyes of the chaotic citizens below.

The super fast speed, worried that he would bite his tongue if he accidentally spoke, made Jiang Shang close his mouth, and not far in front of him was the West City Gate, which was sounding the alarm.

"Young man, the old saying of the night watchman 'Fear of death is the possibility of transcending death', let me see your enlightenment."
