It's damn weather. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Ranger lifted his helmet and looked disapprehensively at the dim sky.

It's the tenth day.

Ever since they received the Emperor's orders, they have been wandering aimlessly in this wilderness, without getting any news or any goal, only telling them to look for anything suspicious at any time to report, Holy Grace is above, what is a suspicious thing? Is it a mouse with wings or an eagle without wings?

Although it was only noon, it was dusky between the sky and the earth, and the whistling wind and sand passed through the air, and even people had to squint. They only have a few days of food left, and if they continue like this, God knows what will become of it.

Thinking of this, the ranger couldn't help but glance back, they had already left the large army for some distance, frankly speaking, he didn't like this very much, but there was nothing he could do, because here, he said it didn't count, just a chess piece, since it was a chess piece, then there was no other choice than to be obedient.

"Alright, everyone is in place, let's get ready to ........."

"Captain, there's a situation ahead. ”

Just as the Ranger Captain raised his arm and was about to give the order, one of his subordinates suddenly screamed in surprise, he raised his arm and pointed ahead, looking incredulous. What happened? What surprised this guy so much?

The Ranger frowned, he turned his head, he thought that he could have time to show his majesty, let his subordinates take a good look at the real reason why he was the commander and these guys could only be soldiers, but unfortunately, he was not able to show his composure and calmness, because after he saw the scenery in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't make a sound.

A huge city appeared in front of everyone, tall, rectangular buildings one after another, they seemed to be only a few hundred meters away from these rangers, but the Holy Grace was above, the captain of the rangers could swear that just a few minutes ago, there was still wind and sand ahead, and there was nothing at all!

How can there be a city here?

The Ranger Captain frowned, then he turned his head to look at the man beside him who had just reported to him.

"How did you find it?"

"I, I don't know......... Captain. ”

"You don't know?"

"Yes, yes. ”

This subordinate was also panicked, obviously frightened. He sat tremblingly on horseback, his body trembling slightly, and his face pale.

"I didn't see anything before, but shortly after that, a grain of sand flew into my eyes, and I reached out and rubbed it, and when I was done, I opened my eyes and saw the city. ”

"What about you?"

Seeing that he did not get accurate information from this subordinate, the Ranger captain couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied, he whispered to ask the others, but they also shook their heads, everyone had different statements, but they didn't seem to care about the front before that, just for a moment, or distracted, or shifted their gaze, and when they moved their gaze to the front again, the city appeared. It's as if it's always there, but everyone hasn't paid attention, but it's very abnormal, you know, if it's a small thing, then everyone hasn't paid attention to the past, but such a huge city, no one actually sees it?

The Ranger captain stopped.

He carefully looked at the city in the distance, and always felt that something seemed to be abnormal, but he couldn't tell what was abnormal, not only the way the city appeared was abnormal, in fact, the city itself was also very strange, it didn't look like a city that the Ranger Captain had seen anywhere on the continent, those buildings were all white, reflecting dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, and they all looked unusually high, as if they were ten or twenty stories high, of course, such high-rise buildings were not without in many cities, in the Source City, with the help of the power of Mana, people can also build such high-rise buildingsBut here, there are hundreds or more of such high-rise buildings, and, even more bizarrely, there is a sky full of yellow sand all around, only the city has a clear blue sky and sunlight on it, and it seems that there is no wind and dust around it.

Could this be the weird stuff mentioned above?

Thinking of this, the Ranger captain couldn't help but retreat in his heart, he wanted to leave, but the instinctive exploration of the unknown was attracting him again, trying to go forward and explore, but, on the other hand, deep in his heart, a small warning was sounding in his heart, making him turn back immediately.

"Captain, what are we going to do?"

"Captain?"

Obviously, the Ranger captain was not the only one who felt this way, and the others couldn't help but stop when they saw their captain stop, they looked at the city uneasily, and then asked. The Ranger Captain, on the other hand, gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment.

"Moving on, our mission is to investigate those suspicious things, the city is so weird, we naturally want to investigate ——— you. ”

As he spoke, the Ranger Captain gestured to one of the soldiers beside him.

"You go back and report to the brigade at once, we will wait for orders in that city, go back and report to the commander at once. ”

"Yes, Captain. ”

Upon receiving the order, the cavalryman immediately nodded and saluted, then turned and drove away. The Ranger Captain looked at the other party's distant figure and disappeared into the billowing wind and sand, and then he straightened his face and faced forward again.

"All obey the order and move on!!"

After saying this, the Ranger captain sighed softly.

Maybe even he didn't know why.

In fact, the city is far farther away than it seems.

Originally thought that it was only a few hundred meters away, the crowd drove their horses forward, and it took two hours to finally reach the border of the city, but when they set foot on the city, the wind and sand that were raging suddenly stopped.

What's going on?

Everyone looked around in surprise, they turned their heads, only to see that behind them, the rolling sand and dust were still swirling and flying away under the sweep of the wind, but they did not jump into the thunder pool half a step away from the city, and now, between the people and the wind and sand, as if blocking a transparent glass, completely separated the two worlds.

It's not just the wind and sand, after stepping here, everyone's mood is uplifted, sober, and the natural air enters their bodies, giving people a feeling full of power. The exhaustion of running in the wilderness of the Gobi Desert before, and the dry, hot air, now seemed as if it had never existed.

What the hell is this place?

"Keep going. ”

Sensing the puzzled gaze of his subordinates, the Ranger Captain gritted his teeth and continued to give orders, in fact, at this moment, he already regretted it a little, although until now, they did not feel anything bad, on the contrary, everything here was unexpectedly beautiful. But as a veteran who has experienced countless wars and hovers between life and death all year round, deep in his heart, there is an ominous premonition that is gradually spreading.

And in the process of going deeper, the Ranger captain once again confirmed that everything here was clearly different from the world he once knew.

The wide roads are not paved with stone slabs or gravel, on the contrary, all the roads in the city are paved with a black eccentric body, which is even a little fluffy and smells strange in the sunlight. On both sides of the road, there were many things that the Ranger Captain had seen, but there were some things he had never seen before, like the carriages that looked as if they were made of steel, and though they had four wheels, the Ranger Captain did not see where the coachman was, and the strange steel carriage had a strange extension in front and back compared to the carriage, and he had no idea what it was. There is also a strange black contraption erected on the road, which looks like a lamp, but there is no light.

The whole city fell silent.

It had been uninhabited for a long time, but the Ranger Captain had a hard time imagining that it was an abandoned city, because the roads were very clean, and the shops and rooms on both sides of the street seemed to be open, but the owner was not there for a while.

What is this place? Could it be that this is the Emperor's purpose?

Just as the Ranger Captain was pondering, suddenly, a deep voice sounded.

"Boom ............"

The ground trembled slightly, and the sound of thunder made everyone jump, and they uneasily grabbed their horses and looked around, but they saw nothing.

"Captain, I suggest we retreat for the time being. ”

An old soldier spoke, looking warily at the windows of the tall buildings on either side, which were empty, but now looked a little scary.

"That's right. ”

The Ranger Captain nodded, the uneasiness in his heart was getting worse and worse, his group was only a dozen people, and the city looked so strange, at least it would be safer to wait for the arrival of the large army before advancing, thinking of this, he raised his hand.

"All ............"

"Phew!"

A thunderous sound rose from the ground, and the Ranger Captain's movements stopped, and he looked up in surprise at his chest, where the armor had been completely pierced, and a small black hole was unusually striking.

His body shook off the horse, then fell to the ground, never to get up again.

"Captain, Captain!!Hurry up!!"

Seeing that the captain had been killed, the rest of the soldiers were also terrified, and they hurriedly turned around and drove their horses to try to leave, but at this moment, the noise started again.

"Woo Woo !!"

With a loud sound, the soldiers fell off their horses, some of them were shot through the head, some of them were shot in the back of the heart, and after only half a minute, the team of ten people had no living life except for the panicked horses, and some were only corpses lying on the ground.

“missionplete。 ”

A dull voice sounded, and then, lying on the top of a tall building in the distance, the man in the black leotard raised his head, his voice was a little dull under the black helmet, he tilted his head, then stood up, and held out a hand to his ear.

"The obstruction has been cleared and the plan continues. ”
