Chapter 187: Tinkering
It's been a month since Tula returned to the Barrier Forest.
Meditation was so badly injured that he almost died, and he is still lying in bed.
He suffered a serious injury to his right leg, and the medicine girl said that he was afraid that he would be disabled.
The condition of the Barrier Forest was even worse than Tula had imagined, as most of the walls that had taken the Society to build over the course of a year had been destroyed, more than a dozen houses had been burned, and 300 of its own people had died.
It was suggested that you leave the Barrier Forest as soon as possible.
The song of Devil May Cry at night, the sleepwalkers of the ice lake, and the giant beasts that will appear at some point......
The Barrier Forest is no longer a safe place, and if they are not evacuated, their casualties may be even worse.
With regard to the proposal to relocate, Tula vetoed it.
This territory of the Barrier Forest was built with the hard work of many people.
If you give up so easily, how can you be worthy of the warriors who sacrificed for the Unicorn City.
What's more, although the world is big, it is difficult to find a place for a single horn.
Now there are 70,000 unicorns in the Obstacle Forest, a large number of people and a huge team, and it is not easy to move to other places with so many people.
If the officers and soldiers of Dongchen are accidentally alarmed, the government will send troops to encircle and suppress them, which may make the situation worse.
Although the Barrier Forest is not safe, it is currently the only place for the single horn.
They must hold on to the city with a desperate fight, and if they flee now, endless darkness awaits them.
Although the Barrier Forest was attacked by giant beasts, they did not gain nothing.
The number of gigantic sleepwalkers increased dramatically, reaching two hundred by the time Tula arrived in the Barrier Forest.
Unconscious due to meditation, the city wall was badly damaged.
In order to protect themselves from the beasts, the sleepwalker's main job is to repair the walls.
Before the mutation, sleepwalkers were all laborers of the underground palace, and they did hard work all year round, but now they are huge and powerful, and one person can be used by dozens of people, which greatly improves the efficiency of repairing the city wall.
After Tula arrived at the Barrier Forest, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the five-meter-tall giants working as coolies on the edge of the city wall.
With such a good physical fitness, being a coolie is really overkill.
So the two hundred sleepwalkers were immediately gathered together and trained in person.
The sleepwalkers are managed by Tula himself, and they are the best in terms of food and clothing, but at the same time they are the most rigorously trained.
Every day, the rooster crows and sleeps late at night.
Listen to the training in the morning and evening, inform them of the rules and laws, and enforce the prohibitions.
Most of the sleepwalkers are honest and honest rough people, who are well fed and clothed every day, and are instilled with the mission of saving one-horned people by good talkers, and it doesn't take long for them to be reborn and see the appearance of well-trained soldiers for the first time.
The matter of building the city walls was put on hold by Tula.
The behemoth is extremely tall, invulnerable, and will spit fire, even if this wall is repaired, it will be useless.
What's more, repairing the walls to resist the attacks of wild beasts can cure the symptoms rather than the root cause.
If there are no effective methods and weapons to stop the giant beast, no matter how high the city wall is, it will not be able to withstand the repeated attacks of the giant beast.
Just because the walls are gone, doesn't mean they don't need barriers.
Tula ordered people to actively develop a large amount of thunder powder, and dug a one-zhang wide ravine near the city wall to fill in the thunder.
And near the wall, a circle of barrels was erected, and the barrels were filled with grease.
Although spring has already entered the rest of Dongchen at this time, the barrier forest is still bitterly cold, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, and the weather is dry.
Barrels filled with grease and buried thunderbolts can cause huge explosions when they see an open flame.
Just in case, Tula ordered people to guard it 24 hours a day, and no open fire was visible near the city walls.
Because a large number of thunderbolts are buried around the city wall, although they can resist wild beasts, it is equivalent to being self-contained, and the outside cannot enter, and the people inside cannot get out.
For this reason, Turat ordered the men to mark the city with special signs, open the city gates at a specific time, and designate the route out of the city.
In this way, you can not only defend against wild beasts, but also avoid accidentally injuring your own people.
Tula was already seriously ill and had traveled a long way, and finally arrived at the Barrier Forest, but he was busy with various affairs, and his whole person was thin to a handful of bones, his face was sallow, and his eyes were sunken.
The medicine girl prepared a medicinal diet and tonic for him, and brought it to his room every day.
But he doesn't use it very much, many times it is served hot and cold, and even the spoon is clean.
Even if he didn't take it, the medicine girl couldn't help but give it.
On this day, the medicine girl had just brought the medicinal food in, and Yuan Chu came in from outside the house.
Holding two freshly hunted rabbits in his hands, he said with great interest: "Brother, I just shot two hares, and I'll roast them for you to eat, the rabbit skin is peeled, just enough to get you a scarf." ”
Seeing Tula, who was immersed in sorting out the drawings, he didn't raise his eyes, Yuan Chu mustered up the courage to continue: "Our brother and sister have been reunited for a long time, and we haven't eaten together yet, so why don't I cook these two rabbits and eat with my brother?"
It's been a while since Tula returned, but the siblings had seen each other only two or three times, and they didn't say more than ten words.
She knew he was busy all the time, so she endured it and waited.
But now that the beast is attacking, the people are panicking, who knows when the beast will attack next time, and who among them will be killed.
She was really uncomfortable, so she mustered up the courage to come in, and just wanted to talk to him.
"It's been busy these days, let's change the day~" Tula finally raised his head and looked at Yuan Chudao.
Yuan Chu's heart was cold, he lowered his head, and he couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Tula couldn't help but feel a little distressed, put down the pen and walked over
touched Yuan Chu's head and said softly: "It's cold, it's dangerous in the forest, don't go in the future." If you like rabbit meat, I'll make it for you next time. ”
Yuan Chu was stunned for a moment, his eyes inexplicably swelled with fog, and tears fell down.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yuan Chu crying, Tula frowned.
"No, nothing...... Sand in my eyes. Yuan Chu raised his hand and wiped it with his cuffs.
Her childhood memories have long been blurred, and she never knew that she had an older brother.
Who would have thought that the general of the Northern Morocco who was harsh and cruel to the unicorn was actually her biological brother.
He wouldn't have thought that all this was just a disguise, his real identity was the founder of the Salvation Society, and now the lord of Unicorn City.
After learning the truth, she has been living in pain and self-blame.
When Tula returned to the Barrier Forest, she was always indifferent to her, making her both frightened and panicked.
She was afraid that he would be angry with her, that he would ignore her.
She lost her mother, lost her father, and now she ...... Heaven gave her a brother, but she almost killed him.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chu's heart was even more sad, and he couldn't wipe his tears clean.
Seeing Yuan Chu's red eyes crying, Tula's heart was sour, he picked up Yuan Chu's face, wiped her tears, and whispered: "I'm sorry to find you so late and make you suffer so much......"
He knew what happened to Yuan Chu, and it happened right under his nose.
Including Archie's death later, he was responsible.
This made Tula not know how to face Yuan Chu, he owed her too much.
"No, no...... Woo woo, I'm sorry ......"
Hearing Tula's words, Yuan Chu wept bitterly and shook his head.
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been so badly injured. Brother, I'm sorry......" Yuan Chu choked up and looked up at Tula, tears and snot blurred his face
Yuan Chu's "brother" made Tula's numb heart throb, and mist rose from his eyes, and he hugged her tightly into his arms.
"Don't cry, with my brother in the future, I will never let you be hurt again. "I want to talk to more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
