On April 18, the 4th year of the new calendar, just after 7 o'clock in the morning, the morning shift workers of the machinery factory who had just changed their guards saw Director Danny running in with a dozen technicians in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon after, more than 2,000 workers on the morning shift were summoned to the workers' cafeteria, and Director Danny stood on a table in the center of the canteen, waving a stack of drawings and loudly announcing something.

Danny has always had a gentle personality, and it was the first time the workers had seen him so excited. However, it didn't take long for them to understand why the factory owner was so excited.

A few minutes later, Danny's mobilization speech ended, and the enthusiastic workers were led by mechanics to the various workshops, and the entire machine shop was instantly put into a state of wartime emergency production.

The same thing happened in almost every factory in the Avery Industrial Zone, even the Avery Iron Mine, which is more than a dozen kilometers away.

......

In the Avery Building, Donner recounted something to Wesley and Clay, and in the middle of speaking, Clay turned around and rushed out the door, and Wesley hugged her.

"Listen to me! You can't go! It's too dangerous out there now!" Wesley bounced off with an elbow from Corey and rushed up to grab her.

"I'm the queen of the empire, and I can't stay out of the way when my subjects need me the most...... "Curley didn't look back, and with a backhand he shoved Wesley a few meters away.

She didn't use all her strength, otherwise Wesley wouldn't be able to withstand the power of a fifth-level knight with just flesh and blood, but Wesley didn't use magic either, otherwise Ke Lei wouldn't even be qualified to fight back in front of him.

"What's the use of you going back?!That's an army of knights of tens of thousands, can the Thorn Army stop them with you?!" Wesley stopped chasing, but stood there and shouted loudly.

Curley stopped and turned to look at Wesley, "Trust me, I know better than you what an army of tens of thousands of knights means. It is because of this that I must return to my subjects. ”

Wesley was momentarily speechless, worried about Corey, but unable to contradict her.

"Queen Corey, would you like to take a gamble?" said Donner.

"What do you mean?" said Clay and Wesley looked at Donner at the same time.

"If the city of Twilight has also been passed by the knight army, then even if you drive back to the thorns, I am afraid that you will only see the land full of devastation. But if they had come from Falling Rock, Cliff, or Pichtail, the Teddell Mountains and the River Aiva would have been enough to hold back the knightly army. Donner said slowly.

Corey understood what Donner meant, Twilight City was the only northbound city in the Thorn Empire, and if the dwarves of Twilight City had not colluded with the Knight Continent, then there was still room for saving the situation.

"What do you mean?" she frowned.

"Gongta grassland. Wesley suddenly got to the point.

"That's right, it's impossible for a heavily armed knight army to climb the towering Tate Mountains, and as long as you hold the Gongta Grassland, the Thorn Empire won't be in danger, but only if the city of Twilight doesn't fall. Donner said.

Ke Lei pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and then clenched her fists fiercely and said, "I'm willing to gamble, bet that Dusk Cloud City has not fallen." ”

"That's good. Donner nodded, "You have at least six or seven days to go to the Gongta Grassland to set up the garrison, and I will use the letter crow to send a letter to the various provinces in the west of Faimon to release your army." By the way, bring those magic guns, maybe you can help a little. ”

"You don't need to be informed! I'll go with Ke Lei, and by the way, organize an army of magicians in the western part of the empire. Wesley said suddenly.

Curley glanced at Wesley gratefully, then nodded slightly to Donner, and said, "Duke Vane, I hope we will meet again!"

Wesley looked at Donner, shrugged, and said, "I'm not here this time, so don't play around." ”

", go and defend the Gongta grassland, just like you did twenty-two years ago. Donner waved his hand without looking up.

Wesley smiled and hurried to follow Crey.

......

At eight o'clock in the morning, more than two hours had passed before sunrise, Sam stood on the cement wall more than six meters high, and the border post covering an area of nearly two square kilometers was like a small city, the outer walls of the large and small buildings in the city were all golden by the sun, and the wind blowing from the south was warm and comfortable.

Sam was not in the mood to appreciate the wonderful spring light, or rather, the crowd and machinery in front of him had already made a mess of the quiet morning of late spring.

Looking back at the outside of the city, there was nothing unusual except for the endless wheat fields and the farmhouses dotted among them, Sam turned his head and continued to monitor the preparations for war in the city, occasionally whispering a few words to the side. The magician who received the order ran down the stairs of the castle tower and carried Sam's orders to all parts of the city.

Bobby, a worker who had just been recruited into the border post two years ago, was now driving a tracked tractor through the streets below the city walls. He glanced through the glass window in the cockpit at the crowd standing on the city wall, and his heart couldn't help but drum.

Bobby knew that the one in the dark gray mage robe, with a handsome face and a noble-like demeanor, was the head of the border guard, everyone called him Captain Sam, and the mages standing beside him were also big people who were rarely seen.

Yesterday evening, a worker received bad news from home, and since then, the atmosphere in the convoy has been somewhat solemn. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that Bobby knew exactly what was going on.

Before dawn, Bobby was pulled out of the bed by the captain, who then took him and his co-workers to the square of the border guard, where a dense crowd had gathered.

The war mobilization order hit Bobby in the skull like a stick. From the words knight, war, his brain has been buzzing, and he has never heard a word again. As the crowd in the square dispersed, Bobby finally came to his senses.

"My home is in the north! Captain, my home is in the north! I want to go back! I want to go back!" was Bobby's first sentence after he came to his senses.

The captain kicked him to the ground, and the captain who had attended public school for two years was only in his early twenties, but because of his strict style, he had a high prestige in the team.

"If you can't win this battle, everyone will have to die, not just your family! You have to dare to escape, you don't need the enemy to do it, I will kill you now!" the captain's words startled everyone.

"I ...... I'm not here to be a soldier...... I don't want to fight......" Bobby cried as he wiped his tears.

"It's not up to you to decide whether to fight or not, and it's not up to me to have the final say! If our family is still alive, we will protect them, and if they are all dead like little Ethan's family, then we will fight with all our lives to get revenge!" said the captain almost through gritted teeth. And Bobby and his teammates were also infected by his emotions, crying and shouting "revenge" one by one, as if they were crazy.

Bobby is not a warrior, he has always been very timid, and although the captain's words are still in his ears, he still can't control his trembling hands and feet.
