The Clock Tower is the tallest building in the city of Dacons, and according to the city chronicles, it reaches a height of 64.5 meters, which is a cut higher than the twelve-story planting center. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info clock tower top hanging a huge bronze bell, the giant bell and the damask city in the same year, has been witnessing the growth of the damask city, more than a hundred years ago when the bell tower was just repaired, how to move the giant bell to the top of the tower has become a very troublesome problem, after all, the brocade city is just a small city, want to build enough to support the weight of the giant bell suspension device, need to consume a lot of manpower, is in some of the gains outweigh the losses. It is said that in the end, the city allocated funds and hired a high-level ability who was good at strength, and he stood on the clock tower and pulled the giant bell up the tower.
Of course, such a boring story can only exist in wild histories and legends, and it is not recorded in the city chronicles, but only from the few words in the city chronicles, 'April 28, move the bell, the whole city celebrates', you can see the importance of the bronze bell to the people of the brocade city. Every New Year, the city elects the most respectable old man, accompanied by the lord of the city or on behalf of the lord of the city, to climb the bell tower and ring the first bell of the new year. The long bell rings in every corner of the city, heralding the new year, when all dangers will be driven away by the bell, allowing the city's residents to enjoy peace and tranquility all year long.
Standing at the top of the bell tower, the scenery of the brocade city is in full view, the garrison that is still trying to evacuate the crowd, the herald who is hurrying back to the clock tower, the weak citizens hiding in the corner of the building at a loss, the lucky ones who successfully return to their own yards but do not enter the basement to take refuge, but lie on the wall and look out, and even the family private soldiers who are arranging on the city wall, all of them are clearly reflected in the single eye of the rose. Of course, due to the distance, even with Rose's eyesight, it is impossible to see the battle situation on the city wall clearly, and it is already a miracle beyond ordinary people to be able to vaguely see the shadows of the family's private soldiers and confirm that they are deploying.
However, the miracle was broken after Zhang Lu took out a telescope, through which Zhang Lu could also see the battle situation on the city wall, or rather, the battle situation that had not yet started.
"The wolves didn't attack. Zhang Lu removed the binoculars from his front and said with a frown, "What are they waiting for?"
"A long run is followed by a war that even the dumbest general wouldn't do. Rose pulled over a chair and put her legs on it, sighed comfortably, and replied without opening her eyes, "They can make a long detour and get here before the large army returns, it must have consumed a lot of physical strength, even if the wolves have good stamina, but even so, starting a battle without rest is equivalent to killing themselves." ā
"Ah, I almost forgot. Zhang Lu patted his head and handed over the binoculars in his hand, "Sister Rose, do you want to take a look, you can see it more clearly with this." ā
"No, you don't. At some point, another rose appeared in Rose's hand, and Rose put the flower in front of her and sniffed it, and said lightly, "It's enough to have it." ā
"Huh?" Zhang Lu leaned over in surprise, curiously looking at the rose that didn't show any peculiarity, "Isn't this just a flower?
"How to turn into a hundred billion, a tree of plum blossoms and a release. Rose didn't explain, and in fact it was difficult to explain the affairs of the able, she just casually recited two ancient poems before the disaster as a reply, "When they left, I put a few flower seeds on them, and now they have taken root in the cracks of the nearby city wall. ā
"What a handy ability. Zhang Lu touched the petals with envy, and the petals suddenly closed as if they were going to bite her, so frightened that the girl quickly retracted her hand, glared at the rose with disgust, picked up the radio and said, "This is the front-line command, this is the front-line command, and now it is a front-line public band broadcast." Du Feng, Sun Zhe, and Uncle Song now issue the first order, immediately launch a long-range attack on the wolves resting outside the city, the means are mainly harassment, the purpose is to make them give up resting and directly start attacking the city. ā
"The front-line troops understand. "At this time, the leaders of the various families can't care about their positions and sides, and since they have been pushed to the front line, they can only kill the enemy in front of them first. Therefore, several temporary captains cooperated very well and followed Zhang Lu's instructions and sent arrows to greet the wolves.
"This is the front line command. Putting down the radio, Zhang Lu immediately picked up the phone that had been connected, and said with a straight face, "The Municipal Engineering Center, immediately build barricades and bunkers on the ninth and twelfth streets in case of possible street fighting." In addition, the arrow tower was built on the temporary requisition of private houses in the 1342 streets, with a height of at least 15 meters. You have thirteen minutes, that's not your limit, I've given you two minutes to deal with emergencies. ā
"Wu Lian Division, Wu Lian Division, this is the acting city lord. As soon as he cut off contact with the Municipal Engineering Center, Zhang Lu immediately dialed another number, "Immediately mobilize five water-cooled Mikay machine guns to the junction of Tenth and Ninth Streets, equipped with at least forty units of ammunition." Shut up, I know I can't pierce the enemy's fur, and I need the impact of a high-density bullet to slow them down. I asked for everything to be adjusted after seven minutes and thirty seconds, and the craftsmen evacuated to a safe area after seven minutes and thirty seconds. ā
"Command headquarters, I'm Zhang Lu. Xiao Qi, shut up, notify Sister Yue immediately, and all the information will be summarized here. ā
"Whew, Sister Rose, these people are too long-winded. After seven or eight consecutive phone calls, Zhang Lu finally dropped the microphone, pouted and said, "This is just the beginning, and it is estimated that it will become more and more noisy in the future." ā
"I think you're having fun. Rose played with the flowers in her hand and said leisurely, "Crow said that you are good at multi-threaded scheduling, which can make more than a dozen departments cooperate tightly, and now it seems that he is not exaggerating." ā
"Because I'm a special type of source energy ability. Zhang Lu raised the telescope again, and after just a few glances, he grinned and said, "Hey, this loss is a bit big." ā
"Eleven people died in five minutes, which is not huge. Rose squinted her eyes casually and pretended to sleep, "It's just a group of private soldiers, what else do you expect them to do?" ā
"Front-line troops, this is the command. Zhang Lu hesitated for a while, but still picked up the radio and said, "Your losses are too great, you must stabilize the defense line and reduce the losses, otherwise you will not be able to resist the follow-up attacks of the wolves." ā
"The wolves are attacking too hard, and they ask to shrink their defenses and retreat to the streets. In addition to anxious instructions, there were screams and moans on the radio.
