Petra Fortress.

Escorted by two light pickup trucks, Earl Ruskin, who shared a motorcycle with his servants, drove out of the city with a grim face

With his arm on the window, the captain of the guard, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck, waved his hand, signaled the driver to speed up and get closer, and said with a smile to Earl Ruskin outside the window.

"If you need help, remember to shout louder, we're not so stingy and will come to help you." "I don't need your help! Thank goodness for staying away from me!"

Glancing at the machine gun in the back of the pickup truck, Ruskin suddenly twitched, turned his face sideways and roared at the roaring wind, "Can you put that thing away!" We're not going to war...... Do you want to kill me?

What if those friends who came from afar misunderstood?

The captain of the guard and the pilot exchanged glances with strange expressions, not understanding what he meant, but finally accepted the strange request.

He put his hand out the window and patted the roof of the car. "Put the machine gun away first."

"Yes!" Hearing the captain's order, the machine gunner standing behind the pickup truck skillfully removed the 10mm heavy machine gun stuck on the bracket.

The same goes for another pickup truck.

At the same time, the two pickup trucks slowed down and kept their distance from the Earl Ruskin, who was driving ahead on a motorcycle. Looking at the pickup truck that was pulling away, Ruskin finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

Although he had a slight grudge against the order of the city lord of Thane, and although he knew that the wolves were all things that ate people and did not spit out bones, he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart.

What if there is some misunderstanding between the two parties?

If he can resolve this misunderstanding beautifully and turn cannons into bread, he will undoubtedly become the hero of the mercenary fortress, and even the hero of saving the kingdom.

The nobles of the mercenary fortress have always had a dream, that is, to be able to obtain the same power of republican autonomy as Silvermoon City in the south, and get rid of the shackles of feudal contracts.

The mercenary family, loyal to the royal family, is the biggest obstacle.

If he can use this to reach a friendly agreement with the Legion, perhaps his family's long-cherished wish will be realized! There are certainly risks involved. But it's not an opportunity.

"Hurry up!" The Count of Petra, who had regained his courage, regained his spirited expression, looked at the dashboard of the motorcycle, and urged the servant on the motorcycle, "Didn't you eat?" Still didn't fill up the bike? How can it be forty yards!"

"Your Excellency...... The road here can only be driven to forty yards, and if we go a little faster, we will fly. The servant said with a laugh and a smile.

"Useless stuff."

Hou Junlin scolded and scolded, knowing that it was useless to urge, so he stopped talking.

The convoy of two Curran and one motorcycle quickly approached the area where the Lost Valley was already capable.

Crossing the stacked sand dunes and looking at the nearby valley looming in the yellow sand, Petra felt her heart beat faster.

"Ahead! It's the front!" He opened his voice and shouted.

The two Curran behind him came closer, and the captain of the guard stuck his head out of the window and shouted at him. "Do you want us to follow?"

"No, you don't! You're waiting for me here! I'll be back soon!" Petra, who had dropped the words, urged the servant to press on with all his strength.

Although the servant's shoulders shook at the thought of the Legion's camp in front of him, he did not dare to obey the Earl's orders, so he could only twist the accelerator hard.

The sand and dust kicked up by the tires quickly attracted the attention of the other side. After a while, two three-wheeled motorcycles drove up from a close distance.

Seeing the flag of the Legion, Petra's face was overjoyed, and she was about to wave and shout, when two gunshots rang out from the opposite side. The bullet whizzed down on the nearby sand, and the servant who was driving the motorcycle quickly turned a corner, turned around and fled the way he came.

Petra was also taken aback, but she didn't expect the other side to shoot without saying a word, and hurriedly shouted behind her. "Don't shoot! I'm the Count of Petra in the Mercenary Fortress! There may be some misunderstanding between us! Why don't we sit down and talk?

However, all he received was gunshots.

The men did not say a word, they opened fire when they saw someone, and after approaching a distance of about 100 meters, the machine gunner, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the tricycle, pulled the trigger and opened fire. "Tutu Tu Tu --

、,

Thick tongues of fire erupted, and bullets whizzed across the dunes, not too many to hold up. The sharp pain in her leg made Petra's whole body tremble, and she almost fainted, and she lay on the servant's back. "My lord? Are you alright_

Looking at her bleeding left leg, Petra spat out staccato half-sentences in a trembling voice. "Quick...... Lose your run!'"

The off-road performance of the three-wheeled motorcycle is still a little worse than that of the two-wheeled motorcycle, but fortunately, the captain of the personal guard who came with him heard the gunfire and brought people to support him in time.

The machine gun was put back on the fixing bracket.

The two Curran stopped on the nearest dune, and the machine gunner unfamiliarly pulled the bolt to reload, unleashing heavy machine gun fire at the trike that crossed the dune.

Strings of dust splashed on the desert, and the three-wheeled motorcycle that rushed ahead was instantly beaten into a sieve.

The driver was killed on the spot, and the two occupants jumped out of the car, using the motorcycle as cover and fired back at the Curran car on the dunes with their rifles, but they could not withstand the ferocious fire of the heavy machine gun, and soon followed in the footsteps of the driver in front.

The other tuk managed to escape back to the anticline of the sand dunes behind it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the pursuers were suppressed by fire, the servant of the Count of Petra fled in the direction of the two Currens on motorcycles, carrying his master as if he were dying.

And the master lying on his back was silent. Just now

It looked like his master had been shot in the back again.

A signal flare rose on the anticline of the desert, and the captain of the guard, who was sitting in the passenger seat of Curran's car, frowned, and waved his right fist back through the window.

"Advance!"

A camp that can't help but be able to.

Looking at the signal flares rising into the sky and listening to the nearby gunshots, General Ruskin, who was standing on the runway of the airport, frowned, picked up the telescope and glanced in the direction to the west, but could not see anything.

It's too far away. He asked the officer standing aside. "What's going on over there.

The officer was obviously not ambiguous, but he reacted fairly quickly and replied immediately. "That's the defense area that Centurion Wisdom is responsible for, and it should be his men patrolling that area today." General Ruskin lowered his binoculars. "Call him" "Yes!" The officer turned and left.

It didn't take long for a powerful man to come over and stand up straight and give a military salute.

"Report! To the west there were two Curran cars and a motorcycle, presumably a caravan from an oasis in the distance, and they killed three of our servants... I've sent someone to chase after me. '

Hearing that only a few servants had died, General Hou Junlin didn't ask any more. In the past two days, there have been unsightly merchants walking this way, "Leave the merchants alone, let your people not chase too far, pay attention to the patrol in the defense area, the plane will come in a while." "Yes!" Wisdom gave a military salute, turned and trotted away. Looking at his back as he left, General Ruskin frowned slightly. I don't know why ·

A strong uneasiness always crept up in his heart from time to time.

However, this unprovoked emotion soon disappeared with the emergence of a silver shadow nearby. The temporary tower next to the runway received a landing request.

After approaching the runway, the silver plane, which was more than ten meters long and had a wingspan of tens of meters, quickly lowered its landing gear and landed on the runway with billowing sand and dust.

The plane stopped on the side of the runway, the gangway was lowered, and the ground crew hurriedly drove forklifts and refueling trucks to surround it. Of course, this precious jet could not be handed over to Hu Congjun to pilot, and several of the pilots were noble Willantes. The two pilots descended the gangway and walked in front of General Hou Junlin to give a military salute, and one of them raised his head and said. "Hou Jun, the captain of the 11th Army Aviation Squadron of the 10,000th Brigade and the main pilot of H55, reports to you!" General Ruskin raised his hand and returned a military salute, looked at the plane next to him, and couldn't help but smile. H55 "Hurricane" bomber!

Twin-engine jet engine, the fuselage is made of special alloy steel, and the maximum speed can reach Mach 2!

Although it is positioned by the Army Command as a tactical bomber to support front-line troops, it can also carry out strategic bombing missions due to its high strength of fuselage armor and durability, as well as the weak breakthrough performance of high-power engines.

It is called the tank that flies in the sky! Or a butcher's scalpel!

The Hurricane bomber landed on the heels of an escort, or rather a fire-attracting wingman, the H-44 Sabre fighter.

Compared to the Hurricane, it is undoubtedly much smaller, not only is it a single-engine jet engine, but the fuselage is also made of lighter titanium.

Although this fighter is positioned to compete for air supremacy and solve high-threat targets that propeller aircraft cannot deal with, because this equipment is designed by the research institute under the Army Command, its ground support capability is also not weak.

The nose of the 20mm cannon has a staggering 2,000 rounds of ammunition in reserve, and two expensive TV shells are mounted under the wings

As for why not hang empty bombs? Because Luoxia Province doesn't even have propeller planes.

If it had been known that there was an alliance in the Vale Province, and if it had been known that the Pioneer was planning to go to the Great Desert in search of Vault Zero, the Legion would have been prepared to send it from the west.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

General Ruskin stretched out his right hand, shook it vigorously with the two tall pilots, and said with joy. "The stage is ready for you! Let those bedbugs see what purgatory on earth is!" Sith grinned, shook back the hapless general's right hand. "That's what I'm here to do."

Although Griffin didn't delay to tell Ruskin the full content of the plan, he was also a colleague who had worked together for so many years, and Ruskin knew what he was going to fart when he pouted his cunning skunk. The "Hurricane" bomber is undoubtedly the nuclear bomb one - the three-phase bomb with a yield of one million tons!

At this time, a few sporadic gunshots were heard nearby, and Siss, who was shaking hands with General Ruskin, subconsciously turned his head and glanced in the direction of the west.

"What's the situation," General Ruskin said with a smile.

"I guess it's a wasteland guest who can do it, this is close to Oasis 4, leave them alone..., those cowards don't dare to mind our business. By the way, before I came here, I went from Griffina to Stinky ......· The old guy got a few bottles of red wine, would you like to try them?

Si hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile.

"No... There are still tasks in the evening, and the wine of failure should wait until we come back!" The Iron Heart's departure from the Vale Province was the perfect time to bomb.

However, this does not mean that the task is risk-free.

There is also an old survivor force in the southern part of the River Valley Province, named Boulder City, which is also said to be part of the Alliance. There is a lot of equipment left over from the post-war reconstruction committee, and the combat effectiveness is a question mark, and it is difficult to say whether it will pose a threat to the "Hurricane" bombers.

This is the only nuclear bomb that was transported from tens of thousands of kilometers away, and in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they plan to wait for it to get dark and carry out the bombing mission under the cover of night.

Unlike tactical bombing, a nuclear strike does not require too precise coordinates and visual observation of the ground, it is enough to fly to the approximate position, press the switch, and then press the accelerator to the end.

Hearing that the time for the mission was at night, Ruskin was overjoyed and smiled understandingly. "Then wait for your good news!"

-The thought of the bugs that climbed aboard his airship would soon be burned to ashes under the blast wave of the nuclear explosion made him feel happy. It's a pity.

I can't see their faces trembling before the day ahead.

The other side.

Hou Junlin Fortress, the gate of the heavily guarded prison.

Accompanied by several guards, a muscular, grizzled man walked through the tall stone gate and was released. "Remember to keep your mouth shut, you won't be so lucky next time."

Giving the big man a warning look, the bearded captain of the guard waved his hand and walked in with his men:

The door slammed shut.

When the footsteps were no longer audible, the man spat on the ground and turned around cursing. And just as he turned around, he saw two people and a bear standing at the intersection not close, and the expression on his face suddenly became embarrassed.

Firm.

Touching the back of his head, he finally stepped forward and said hello to his employers, muttering in an urn. "Sorry boss, it's a mess..."

Glancing at his grizzled face, Pickup couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at the prison behind him, "They beat you up?"

The man said embarrassedly. "………· I got it before. Pickup looked slightly lost.

It's a pity that this bruised and purple injury was not made during detention, otherwise it would have been possible to get a sum of compensation from the city lord. But it doesn't matter if you don't. Those who are content live long. Nodding in understanding, Pickup continued. "Do you have any plans for the future?" The man said with a wry smile.

"I'm going to try my luck in Silvermoon City to the south...... I can't stay here. "

After he was sent in, several brothers of the mercenary group quickly confessed his identity as the main culprit, and this brother definitely had nothing to do.

Actually, they weren't brothers.

Everyone just got together to make money and make a living, and there were only six or seven people in the mercenary group, and it was difficult to get together, so they dispersed

Pickup nodded, not surprised, and continued.

"If you don't have a place to go, just follow old Boomer, the White Bear Knights need security at their station...... Well, if you're interested, go there and be a security captain.

The mercenary city lord planned to set aside a garrison for the White Bear Knights to help them carry out their good deeds of rescuing the refugees more conveniently. To be honest, there is a large part of this misunderstanding, for example, she actually wants to take advantage of this rare opportunity to help everyone fish

But if you say it, you will not be able to take it back.

"They were guided by the gods to come here to help the poor people" - she said it herself. The moment he heard this, the man was stunned, looked at the young lady in front of him with an incredible face, and even broke his voice excitedly.

"…… Would you like me?"

Looking at the man who had taken a step forward, Pickup took a step back in disgust and glanced at the guy. "Don't say such strange things, or I'll change my mind." "No, no, I don't mean to be disrespectful to you!"

The job offer in hand almost slipped away because of the mouth, and the head of McLaen hurriedly explained, and his voice became incoherent.

"I just......... I don't really understand, I obviously messed up what you explained-

"Everybody's got their first time, everybody's got to be unaware," Pickup interrupted him, looking at the grateful-looking guy and continuing, "Of course, you've already used up a chance, and if you mess things up next time-

"You're going to kill me! No, I don't have to do it, I'll bury myself in front of you!"

The mercenary leader said in a sincere and respectful tone, "You may not remember my name anymore, my name is Jody!" It's an honor to continue to serve you.

Whether the loyal expression was faked or heartfelt, Pickup nodded in satisfaction.

The Knights of the White Bear's regional prestige will probably reach its peak after this war, and in fact they have gained the trust of the local lords.

However, they can't stay here forever to deal with the fixed assets that they can't take with them, and they have made an appointment to travel to more distant places.

Therefore, the best option is to find a reliable local to help take care of it.

For example, old Boomer is a good choice, lying, capable, religious, and owes them a favor for their lives. But even so, she is still unwilling to test human nature with interests and leave everything in the hands of one person. It would be better to divide the money and guns among two different people.

Later, she will also hire an NPC from the Merchant Guild in Dawning City to take care of the accounts, so that she can keep up to date with the situation here.

Since the game claims to be 100% real, she naturally has to do her best to be foolproof. Hearing McClen's name, Tail suddenly spoke. "Oh! Jody! Are you thinking of changing your name?" McLaren said immediately. "Please give me a name!"

Just waiting for this sentence, the tail gave a thumbs up with a sparkling eye. "From now on, you will be called Jojo!" McLaren looked dazed, but nodded anyway. "Yes young lady...... From now on, I'll be called Jojo. Pickup said with a subtle expression.

"The technology and manager of the name of Ao have a fight." Tail looked at the pickup in surprise.

"Huh?! Did I choose such a powerful name?" Hou Jun raised his hand. "Oh! Awesome!" Flesh urged with tears and laughter.

"All in all, the matter is done, let's go back quickly, it's too pitiful for Sesame Paste to stay there alone. Regardless of whether the city lord and the nobles were completely able to pick up the, at least the old man in the white robe had been fooled and lame.

I heard that he was also planning to write to the royal capital to inform the honorable high priest and His Majesty the king. The goddess of the silver moon has performed miracles to protect her people! What could be more exciting?

This is indeed an exciting event for the followers of the Silver Moon Sect, but not necessarily for them. She always had a bad premonition. Troubles are yet to come·

At the same time, the Count of Petra, who had gone on an envoy to the Lost Valley, was carried back by the captain of the personal guard of the Lord of Thane.

Shot in the leg and in the back, Petra lay on a stretcher, her face paling even more from the blood loss

The court of the lord of the city.

The nobles gathered here were silent, and even the loudest one on weekdays was witnessed by this tragic scene that could not bear to look at directly.

Sitting on the stone chair, Sein admired the expressions on the faces of these cowards with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with a cold smile

Strong freshness. This is what happens to cowards.

Petra's lips trembled, and she squeezed out a voice of horror and rage.

"Legion...... They don't plan to talk to us at all! The barbarians! No, it's a beast! You can't communicate with them in the language of civilized people!' Get up from the stone chair.

Sain, who walked to the bottom of the steps, glanced at Petra lying on a stretcher, and said lightly. "You have to thank that young lady for giving you a chance to come back alive."

If it's a horse. He had no chance of escaping at all.

Petra's face was full of humiliation, and she turned her face to look at the woman standing in the corner of the crowd, almost squeezing the words out between her teeth.

"Xie ·

Pika shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, and the expression on his face didn't change either.

She just doesn't want to waste time on such an inconsequential NPC, and his life or death obviously won't have any effect on the rest of the game.

But if you ride a horse, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, and when Hou Junlin's fortress finds his body, I'm afraid it will be two or three days later.

"What did you see there?" Sain looked at the captain of his guard.

The reason why he had been sent out of the city with the Count of Petra was not so much to spy on the fool as to find out what was going on in the Lost Valley.

As early as when Petra was out of the city, he had already ordered the troops in the fortress to prepare. The captain of the guard gave a military salute.

"The size of the garrison is about 10,000 people, and the construction on the north side of the camp has been suspended, and it is probably completed. Before leaving there, I noticed a plane coming from the northwest direction, which seemed to have landed there.

"Airplanes?" Sein frowned. Immediately, there was a commotion from the surrounding crowd.

Panic and anger were written on Zhang Zhang's face, and even those who had previously expressed their belief in the prophecy showed surprised expressions at this moment.

"Airplane...... Where are they repairing the runway?" Those people were planning to attack the mercenary fortress!" Has the Lion Kingdom fallen?"

"The spirit of the sand sea is above... Those greedy barbarians really can't be fed!" We shouldn't have waited so long! It's long overdue!"

Listening to the indignant conversation of the people around them, the faces of the people of the White Bear Knights also showed surprised expressions. Pulling the meat next to him, Tail asked in a low voice. "Does the official website say that it is repairing the airport?" She patronized the post. Didn't look at those posts too sloppily.

The meat was seriously watered, but after recalling it for a while, he didn't have much of an impression, and shook his hairy head, "Okay....... Not really. "The tail was startled.

"Giao......! The treasure has been found by them?" Flesh couldn't laugh or cry. "How did you come to this conclusion?" The tail gestured with his hand with a serious face.

"You think, the armor of the god of the sky... It must be huge! It's such a big lump, you can't transport it by truck, right? I wonder if they built the airport to transport the treasure away·

Listening to this random analysis, the fleshy face gradually showed an expression of sudden realization, and his expression became serious. ".… I wonder if it's really possible!" The sesame paste standing on the side couldn't cry or laugh.

"I think if it's really the armor of the god of the sky, let alone an airplane, even a train can't be towed... Not hearing the whispers of his teammates, Pickup frowned slightly,

Although she didn't see any discussion about the airport on the forum, she always felt that the airport was not that complicated. Oasis 9 hasn't fallen yet.

Moreover, in the past two days, the administrator also brought the Iron Heart and the Storm Legion to the Lion Kingdom for reinforcements, although the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom have weakened, they will not take the initiative to fight on two fronts.

Tape-by-Belt:

There was a hint of realization in her eyes, as if she had thought of something. "The Scepter...... I didn't know if they found it. A pair of eyes looked at her.

Pickup looked at the City Lord of Cyne and said with a serious expression.

"The scepter that fell from the sky sealed the evil god and destroyed the oasis as well. I'm afraid that the evil ritual has reached the final step, we don't have time to be firm, you must make a decision now!" A kind smile appeared on Sein's face. "Looks like we're going to go together."

After that, he looked at the courtiers in the court, and suddenly restrained his laughing expression, and his expression became solemn. "I hear the call in the sand, the small will is calling us, and our kingdom is facing the worst test ever. Whether our enemies are legions or ancient demons, the mercenaries will be the strongest shield of the kingdom!

As he spoke, he pulled out the saber from his waist and looked at the captain of the personal guard, as well as the officers who also looked solemn on the side. "Gather your men" "Prepare for battle!"

(Thanks to the leader of the "East China Sea Small Fishing Village" for his reward!! ）

1 second to remember:
