Chapter 117: Luojin Town
Payne wrapped the snow wolf coat tightly, even if he was guarding the charcoal brazier, he still couldn't feel warm, but fortunately, the warmth effect of the dragon scale armor was excellent, and his hands and feet didn't feel too cold, which ensured that he couldn't get cold.

"If this continues, we will all be frozen out sooner or later, who has a good solution?" someone asked.
"It's only getting colder and colder in the carriage, so we get out of the carriage and run, which improves blood circulation and warms up a little bit. Payne suggested.
"Promotes blood ...... Loop?" muttered to someone, many of whom didn't understand the meaning of the phrase. Hawke glanced at the man, "The boss is right, no matter what cycle it is, go, get out of the car, I can't stay for a moment." ”
A dozen or so people huddled in a carriage all jumped out of the carriage at once, and then trotted all the way with the carriage. At first, it was difficult for them to adapt to the cold wind, but as they ran, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their bodies were slightly warmer, which was indeed much warmer than staying in the car.
"What are those people doing?" someone saw a dozen people running with the wagon, and couldn't help but ask, "Are they fed?"
"Hah...... "Who knows, maybe they think it's going to be warmer?"
"Look, that's Payne!"
"Payne?" someone looked over, "sure enough, it's him, let's go, let's get out of the car too, catch up and ask what's going on." ”
Soon, Payne's actions affected most of the mercenaries, and more than 200 people got out of the car and joined the army of long-distance runners. When they felt the warmth coming from their bodies, they realized that Payne's mental strength was just as strong.
"Payne...!"
"Payne...!"
"Payne...!"
“......”
"Payne?" said a lieutenant colonel, "the mercenary who shot the elite of the mercenary regiment?"
"It's him, but he's not just good at killing people, he's just as good at killing demons. Acrylic said.
"Really?" said the lieutenant colonel, "I heard that you encountered an elite demon on your way?"
"That's right," Acrylic said proudly, "Payne did a great job in that fight and earned the respect of most people, including me." ”
"A mercenary?" the lieutenant colonel said disdainfully.
"But he's an exception," Acrylic shrugged, "he's a genius of geniuses." ”
"Hmph," the lieutenant colonel snorted, and said no more.
Acrylic glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Gaunt across from him and continued to bake the fire.
In the long-distance running team, when someone is tired of running, he will return to the canopy to rest for a while, and when his body is cold, he will get out of the car again and follow along.
And so, at noon the whole procession stopped, and the carriage formed a large circle around it to shield the wind, and a fire began to be made in it, and the food was the paste porridge that Payne hated the most.
But in this cold weather, a steaming bowl of mushy porridge has more than filling your stomach.
In order to save time, after making sure everyone had a bowl of hot porridge, the team began to move on, and they had to get to the town of Rockin before sunset, otherwise even if they didn't encounter a demon attack at night, many people would wake up the next day and freeze.
In order to reduce the number of wagons and reduce the pressure on the team, there are not many tents for camping, which means that most people will not have tents available.
If they can't reach the town of Rockin before dark, they have to travel at night, and marching on the night of the winter solstice in the north is almost as dangerous as suicide.
At 4:12 p.m., the mighty escort entered the town of Luojin.
The town was not large, half the size of Meg's town, its walls were only twelve feet high, and there were no artillery.
The nobles and commoners in the town had already moved to the royal capital, or the larger towns in the south, before winter. So the whole Luojin Town seemed lifeless, and there was no anger at all.
But the escort team doesn't need to be angry, what they need is fire.
At this time, it was still twenty minutes before sunset, and everyone except the chief ran outside the town to collect firewood and promised to return before sunset.
There was a forest not far from the town, so the mercenaries simply cut down the wood, dragging the whole tree back to the town, and some of the more powerful mercenaries were responsible for chopping wood.
There is a semi-underground fortress in the center of the town, and in the northern towns, many towns will have one such fortified fortress, and they exist for a single purpose, that is, to defend against demons.
The area of the fortress is very large, divided into three underground floors and one above ground, which is enough for them and their chariots and horses to stay, the underground two floors are the storage places for the horses' supplies, and the ground and underground floors are the places where people live.
The fortifications had eight tunnels leading outside the town, which were used for escape and to observe the enemy.
After nightfall, the Golden-Eyed Eagle hovers over the town, alert for demonic attacks.
Bobble's eighth team guarded the spotted post, Payne and Roy were guarding the mouth of the tunnel in the northeast corner, with the city wall above their heads, and after standing up straight, they could see the situation from twenty yards away from the gap, and all the light was silver magic stones from the eight corners of the city wall.
"Payne, I've always been puzzled," Roy said matter-of-factly, "Doesn't the Silver Light Magic Stone attract demons?"
Payne smiled, if he hadn't lived in a cabin with a mercenary group later, he really wouldn't have been able to answer Roy's question.
"Demons can find us, not through light, but through the perception of flesh and blood, and the Silver Light Magic Stone can interfere with the senses of demons, blinding them, and also hindering their sense of flesh and blood, so your worries are not there. ”
"Wouldn't the demons wonder where they came from when they saw blinding lights?" Royce paused, "You know, there wasn't a blinding light here. ”
"That's a good question," Payne had questioned before, "but at least the demons can't tell if we're real or not, just as it's hard for us to tell if there are elite demons in the demon's ranks, they're highly intelligent, and they won't attack us if they're not sure, once it's a trap?"
"Trap?" Roy asked.
"That's right," Payne explained, "you know, demons are mostly hidden underground, and it's hard to find them unless they pop out on their own. So we're going to set some traps, then lure them out, and then kill them. ”
Payne added two pieces of firewood to the firewood, "The wisdom of the demons is not much worse than ours, and some are even higher than the wisdom of us humans, so after hundreds of battles, the demons have also summarized a set of combat rules suitable for them, such as spying on our virtual reality, and only when they are sure, they will attack." ”
