Chapter 63: Beacon Fire Everywhere
Something like what happened to Morey is happening in all corners of the continent. Morey's team was unlucky, only Morey escaped alive and teleported to Greenwood, but the villagers were lucky, as many of them were saved. There were many unsuspecting villages that were destroyed like this.
However, the great luck in the misfortune was that because of the previous defense against the attack of the Divine City, many people in the villages temporarily moved into the nearby big cities with shields, and most of them were under the protection of the city during this catastrophe.
Although the tree people and monsters in the wild roam around like a tidal wave, this large city has become a relatively safe place, they are like islands in the ocean, lighthouses in the dark, protecting a little bit of the light of civilization.
A hop in the alley of Hewan New Town.
Ji Yijun's blazing fighting qi attached to the sword, and the sword light cut several lines in the air, cutting several half-meter-tall mutant rat monsters in front of him into pieces. The magician next to him, who was in charge of restraining these monsters, helped his glasses and nodded to Ji Yijun: "If there is nothing wrong, I will continue to work in the research institute." ”
"Of course. Thank you, for your enthusiastic help in the city's safety work, I will send you a big certificate of merit when I come back. Ji Yijun said.
The researcher smiled and said, "Director Ji, forget the certificate, it would be nice to be able to give out some bonuses." ”
"Well said, well said. Anyway, you also stopped these guys from destroying the warehouse in front. ”
It's been half a day since the green light. Hewan New Town had never put down the shield in the first place, and after being notified by Luo Ling, it immediately entered a state of emergency. The Guards were heavily armed and defended against the wall.
As the police chief, Ji Yijun is responsible for organizing the police and militia on the left and right to carry out patrols in the city.
Although the castle shield can block most of the green light, there will always be some sporadic light that falls, causing a few creatures to mutate. However, Riverbend New Town is unlike any other city, and there are so many people here who can use both magic and martial arts.
Ji Yijun inspected all the way over, and saw that some monsters were locked in stone pillars by construction workers with shaping magic, some monsters were blown up by students as practice targets, some were easily strangled by retired soldiers, and some monsters were split in half by the aunt who bought vegetables with fighting spirit. These sporadic monsters are not without casualties, but they are quickly suppressed by passers-by, and the injured are treated with healing magic.
Ji Yijun looked at it all the way, and there was a lot of pride in his heart. Only they can create such a city on the continent, where every person with potential can become a magician or a warrior, and this extraordinary power becomes a universal power here, and every ordinary person can use it for production and can also use it to protect themselves.
Only the most powerful of the monsters had to wait for him to intervene, but the residents of the city who called the police were often already in control. Ji Yijun has already killed a tree man and two mutant dog monsters along the way, and these monsters are indeed not much of a threat to a high-level warrior like him.
Enrique, who followed behind him and cursed, said, "This dog thing of the god of nature is really worse than the demon in the story." ”
"We're going to drag that guy off the altar someday. Ji Yijun inserted his long sword back into its scabbard and ran towards the next location in the city that glowed with magical light.
Along the way, there was the roar of pneumatic cannons and the sound of air gun fire, and no city was more well-defended than Hewan New Town, and the vicinity of Hewan New Town was the place where the most natural resources were exploited, the woods were relatively scarce, and the wildlife was almost non-existent. Therefore, the monsters that came to attack the city also seemed a little weak.
Most of them were reduced to ashes in the artillery fire before they reached the city shield. It's just that tree people and monsters are constantly rushing here from farther away, so although the pressure on the city defense is not great, the sound of artillery fire has not stopped.
While running, Enrique glanced at the cannon at the head of the city and said: "Look at it now, I really have some envy, if I hadn't quit the guard at that time, I followed the boss to join the police station." Maybe I'm in the city right now, using artillery to fight the enemy. ”
"What, regret it? You still want to be an artilleryman with a guy like you who can never do math?" Ji Yijun sneered, "Who knows where you will hit the hell when you send out shells." I really don't want to mess with me, so why don't you send it away!"
Enrique scratched his head and said, "Boss, isn't this a joke. ”
Ji Yijun saw that Garcia on the side was a little silent, so he asked, "What's going on today?"
"Huh? Nothing. Garcia shook his head and said, "I don't know why today, I always feel a little flustered." ”
"What's there to panic about. There are no strong people among these monsters, and they are much easier to deal with than the guys in God City. Ji Yijun said, "It's just that...... Outside of our kingdom, I don't know what kind of miserable it is. ”
"They must be miserable. Garcia said, "Those noble lords are hiding in their castles, so they don't care about the lives of the surrounding villagers, and they can't care about it, because most of the castles are very small, and there are not many people to house, and if they are trapped inside, there will not be enough food to eat."
And most of the castles don't even have magic shields, and the rats and cockroaches hiding in them are enough for those nobles to drink a pot. ”
"Yes, there are also a lot of maggots. Ji Yijun's shyness made Garcia feel sick, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "But I think the worst ones are those peasants, who live in the countryside. I'm afraid that a tree man can wipe out a village, and the feeling that no one can save them should be desperate. ”
Ji Yijun also sighed when he heard this.
By the time they felt the place where the magic had erupted, the battle was over.
A few student-looking people were talking about something around a pile of charred things by the edge of a landscape pond. It was the size of a car, but it was so blackened that it was impossible to tell what it was.
Ji Yijun heard a girl say: "Jenny is really powerful, this big turtle monster has at least mid-level strength." You can also manipulate water magic, but you can solve it in less than five minutes. ”
The girl said, "But the old couple was still killed by it with a water arrow." ”
Ji Yijun walked over and asked, "Did you say that this monster already has the power of magic?"
"Yes. "But it looks like it's just a kind of magic, more like an instinct that has just been learned." ”
