Chapter 222: Boulder City
Boulder City is located in the outermost part of the large federal group centered on Maple Leaf City, and its entire body is made of special giant rocks, and the impregnable boulder walls are an important support for them to deal with the attacks of Warcraft and other wandering bandits, robbers, etc.
Originally, Boulder was one of the poorest cities in the Federation, but since the knights from Maple Leaf City and a sect named the Victims came here and put down roots, Boulder has grown stronger.
People here have discovered that the Cult of the Afflicted can gain some abilities that ordinary people don't have, but at the cost of losing hair and blackening teeth, and other than that, it doesn't have much effect.
Their ability to unite and cooperate and centripetal force have also been multiplied in a geometric way, and the people of such a remote town are extremely strong, and internal divisions are always indispensable. But since the arrival of the Cult of the Afflicted, they have become more united and have begun to develop a deep sense of xenophobia.
A bishop of the Afflicted Sect also began to teach the people here a way to tame a special demonic beast, but this demonic beast is unique to the Afflicted Sect, resembling ants, but it does not have the slender limbs of ants, but is extremely thick, and the sharp jaws seem to be able to shatter everything, and even the boulder city wall will be bitten and shattered by this special ant-like demonic beast.
The special power and this powerful ant monster have made Boulder City prosperous day after day, but not long ago, several strangers came here to find out some news, and finally they were driven out by the residents here.
The inhabitants of this place are all Afflicted denominations, so strangers without faith are as conspicuous in their eyes as candles in the dark.
And today, a team of Achilles tactical squads with an average height of more than two and a half meters, wearing heavy armor, armed with magic flamethrowers, standard blasters, heavy blasters, and melee weapons such as daggers and chainsaw swords hanging from their waists, arrived here.
Looking at the incomparably huge ant-type demonic beasts coming in and out, and faintly appearing with several incomparably huge ant-type demonic beasts, Barry, the leader of the tactical team, found that these ant-form demonic beasts had almost reached the second-level apprenticeship, and even some reached the third-level apprentice level, although he only saw five.
"How can such an almost isolated town have such a scale of power?"
Venice, who was half a staff officer, walked up to Barry and whispered.
Barry nodded imperceptibly, and he noticed the oddities of the megalithic city, and he noticed that the inhabitants who lived here had no hair, no eyebrows, and no beards, and looked slick.
If this phenomenon is one or two people, it would be fine, but judging from the nearly 50 or so residents he has seen coming in and out, as well as the soldiers stationed at the city gates, it seems that everyone is like this.
"The bullets are all loaded, ready for emergencies. The city is not simple. ”
Click............
After giving the order, the team members loaded their explosive bombs, put one hand on the body of the blaster gun, and the other hand reached for the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.
After Barry gestured, the group of warriors continued on their way, and soon they came to the city gate, and almost all the residents who had just entered and exited entered the city gate, and the soldiers also returned to the city gate to close the city gate, and then a man who looked like a chief poked his head out and looked at them and shouted.
"Who are you? This is our city, and you outsiders are not welcome here. ”
The man dressed as a commander spoke in a calm tone, and when he saw a group of Achilles warriors who were completely different from ordinary people, he did not have any fear, but instead had an attitude of indifference and hostility.
"Something seems to be wrong now, they have no fear of us, and during this time, the inhabitants of the city, including the Governor's Palace, where our master is located, cannot help but tremble when they see us."
Fisk, who was standing next to Barry, said.
Barry made a gesture, and his men immediately dispersed in a tactical posture ready to attack, and he took two steps forward, looking up at the man dressed as a commander on the wall, and said loudly.
"We are troops who have come under the orders of the Attorney-General's Palace, Lord Wizard Taylor, and there is an abnormal situation in your city, let us go in to inspect and investigate, and if necessary, you will all obey the arrangement!!"
In Barry's view, what they represent is the face of their master, Taylor, and no matter what, their momentum cannot be left behind.
The man dressed as a chief on the wall hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the back of the wall, as if to consult with someone, and then he put on a gentle smile, full of affinity. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he said excitedly.
"It turns out that you are a team sent by the Attorney General, that is really offensive, please come in, this is our Boulder City, and we have always welcomed the representatives of the Attorney General to come and check."
As he spoke, a huge stone gate made of giant strip-shaped boulders slowly opened, and on the other side of the stone gate was a row of houses, all of which were made of various strange boulders, and there was no trace of inhabitants in them, but there were three soldiers riding ants and monsters and several other groups of soldiers waiting, and there was a wide road between them, as if they were greeting.
After Barry and his party walked in directly, the huge stone door behind them slowly closed.
Next they saw a thin man dressed like a missionary looking at them, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the black teeth underneath the smile made them feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Oh, welcome, my friends, this is Boulder City, the great city we all maintain together!"
The emaciated missionary held his hands high into the air, looking eccentric and disgusting.
Seeing this, all the warriors tightened their weapons again, and Willix, who was holding a heavy flamethrower, leaned behind Barry and whispered.
"We are warriors of great wizards, and anything should be afraid of us, but they act too often!"
Barry was silent, his eyes scrutinizing the thin, thin-hearted missionary, paying particular attention to the arthropod-like limbs that were exposed under the missionary's robes, as well as the black teeth and strange pupils with pupils elongated to the left and right.
"Come, sorcerer warriors, come with us, we welcome you, and if we can, we would like to bring great sorcerers to our city............"
The missionary's tone grew uplifted, until it reached its peak when it came to the point where they wanted the wizard to come, almost roaring to the sky.
They are not people, at least they are not normal people anymore!
Years of combat experience had taught Barry that they could now face an endless array of enemies.
There seems to be some kind of peculiar aberration, causing them to become fearless, ignorant of even the most basic awe, and judging by the loss of pupils, hair, and arthropod-type limbs, they seem to have been infected by some kind of blood or some kind of witchcraft or other means.
And the words of the missionary in his madness convince Barry of his conjecture.
I don't know if the missionary saw some kind of existence that he pursued or believed, he shouted loudly, his hands raised and waved, and the soldiers around him and the man dressed as a commander fell to their knees one after another, put their hands together, and knocked their heads directly to the ground with a very devout look.
"I think that if the great wizards can join our Cult of the Afflicted, perhaps they will be able to become truly beings burdened with endless suffering............"
Bang!
Before the missionary could finish his words, a bomb exploded his body, and everyone around the missionary froze, and then his pupils opened to the left and right, and a hideous expression of anger and resentment slowly appeared on his face, and he twisted his head mechanically, staring directly at Bali and them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Barley raised his blaster and began firing the soldiers with precision, as he ordered.
"Kill them! The city may have lost control, kill them! ”
