Shi Liang, who woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, sat up abruptly and patted his chest hard, trying to calm his still trembling heart. "The viaduct collapsed? This dream is really a hell of a dream! Muttering in his heart, the man looked around with his hands and looked around.

"Oh my God!" The huge environmental difference made the heartbeat that had just calmed down a little suddenly at a loss again and again. Shi Liang hurriedly got up, pushed the door that was opened, and just rushed outside, only to find that the world was already dark at this moment.

Through the not-so-bright glimmer of stars under the night sky, he knew where he was, as if he were in a farmland. I made a circle along the unfamiliar house, less than fifty steps. It's only the size of a palm, so I'm probably dreaming. Thinking like this, he touched the bed again and closed his eyes.

The rooster crowed at dawn, and in the cracks of the rough wooden doors, some cold sunlight from nowhere broke inopportunely, and the breeze carried the cracked sand on the rammed earth walls, rolled up the leaves that had already shriveled up and curled up under the narrow bed, and slipped away in a whirlwind and along the gaps in the walls and soil.

It was already the second day after Shi Liang was shocked. After being shocked, he couldn't tell whether he had an absurd dream that was too long, or whether he had really become a time-traveler in a strange story. The bits and pieces of life intertwined with dreams and memories seem to be real and false, everything is as if it was yesterday, but it is so far away from the facts in front of you. I couldn't sleep all night with my eyes closed, and thanks to the faint light that sneaked in in the morning, after opening the original black hole room, I seriously reminded the confused man on the bed: "Well, a new day has begun." ”

After drilling out of the narrow doorway, Shi Liang realized that he was staying in a small barn with a small pile of thatch at night. The wheat field outside the door is orange and yellow, but the ears of wheat are far from being as bulging as they remember. Lifting the sleeves, I smelled the plain cloth on my body, although the clothes were old but still strong, I couldn't tell what material it was, I should have been wearing it for a long time. It's neat and doesn't smell, the man thought to himself.

"Brother, you got up very early." The yellow-faced man who came to say hello was his good buddy, and lived in another barn not far from his house.

"Well, I had a weird dream yesterday and I didn't fall asleep when I woke up."

"Yo ho, you're quite timid. Seeing that you are depressed, don't think about it, let's go, have breakfast. As he spoke, he grabbed Shi Liang's shoulders and pushed him along the ridge towards the wooden shed in the distance.

"Yang Hao, you two came quite early today." Shi Hua's loud voice can always be heard from afar.

"No, I'm very hungry, get me a few nests."

"Understand, brother, take your own bowl of porridge."

"Hmm"

"By the way, Shi Liang, the job you asked your second uncle to do some time ago, is there any news?" As soon as Yang Haofu sat down, he stepped on the leg of the chair and asked as he took the bowl.

"Said that we were asked to register today, and I don't think it's a big problem." Shi Liang calculated the time in his heart.

"You go to my dad, remember to ask him when he will be back!" Shi Hua interjected.

"Cheng, wait until you're done, your brother and I will go for another run, and we will definitely convey, well, Lao Shi hurry up and eat." As he spoke, Yang Hao picked up the chopsticks and snorted quickly.

Shi Liang also stopped chatting and concentrated on dealing with today's first meal.

The work of the peasant man is always accompanied by a lot of blood and sweat, and once the matter of cutting wheat with a sickle starts, it must not be idle until the scorching sun at noon, and the mechanical repetitive movements numb Shi Liang's body and stiffen the fragments of memory that remain in his mind.

After finishing today's farm work, the two young men in their early twenties fled and jumped into the ditch at the head of the village, and took a bath with the water belt, and the water flowed away the dust, as if washing away the fatigue of the whole morning.

"Shi Liang, you said that you will follow our second uncle in the future, can you have meat to eat?" As soon as he climbed onto the opposite riverbank, Yang Hao became interested.

"It shouldn't be a big problem," the man took off his wet clothes and twisted them vigorously, his eyes full of yearning, "After all, it's begging for food on the knife edge, how can you have strength without meat." ”

"The relationship is good, as long as we join the army, then we will never have to live this hard life without a meal. If we wait for our brothers to endure him for seven or eight years, maybe they can still be an official like your uncle. ”

"Then Yang Daguan, you are not allowed to take a few aunts?" Shi Liangwu stood still, made a skillful gesture, and his face was full of banter.

Yang Hao was also not polite, pretending to make a gesture, patted his shriveled belly and said: "Eight, eight rooms, the number eight is good, auspicious!" ”

"Hahaha, it's really yours, Yang Daguan." While laughing, the two approached the official road.

The laws of the Huazhou State are strict: the official road is a road for war preparation, and citizens are not allowed to pass unless necessary. There are steel wire and iron fences on both sides of the road. However, in order to facilitate daily maintenance, the craftsmen of the Nanhua Society built an auxiliary road more than one zhang wide on the outside of the iron fence, which was far less wide than the official road, but allowed civilians to pass. In the first few years, some people may still call it the official auxiliary road, but with the precipitation of more than 50 years in the Hua Zhou Kingdom, the official road in the mouth of the common people naturally became these two walking auxiliary roads for road construction.

Shi Liang and the others walked all the way north along the official road and walked for about a mile. The octagonal pointed watchtower that originally stood up slightly on the tree was already clearly visible. The red-armored soldiers on the tower post were fully armed, like a ball of fire, standing straight, should be on the lookout and alert. Next to the watchtower, a row of flat-storey public houses stretches along the road to both sides. The flaming flags at the soldiers' training camp behind the public house waved in the wind. The destination was already not far away, and the two couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Boom, the earth shook.

"Woo~" The alarm of the sentry tower sounded, the pack beasts on the official road knelt down, the birds and beasts scattered, the crowd squeezed each other, and most of them fled to the wilderness, shrubs and jungles, and the prosperity of the villages and towns in the last moment collapsed instantly.

"Columns!" In the middle tent of the barracks, a sturdy and reckless man in a plain shirt paced out, and a ribbon inlaid with red spars around his waist and abdomen was particularly eye-catching. Behind him, followed by a soldier in uniform holding a metal plaque, he hurried into the second tent near the middle tent without stopping.

Outside the camp tent, eight black-clothed squads quickly gathered, and another column of samurai wearing red armor rushed out, aiming straight for the official office under the tower.

In front of the reckless man standing upright, seeing that the phalanx had been formed, he raised his breath and shouted: "Armor!" With that, all the soldiers strode forward, slammed down, and stepped on a metal trimmed stone brick hidden beneath the dust in front of them. All the movements are smooth and uniform, and practice must be perfect after a long period of practice.

Then, the originally empty martial arts arena wheel axle "trembling" sounded, as the ground shook slightly, where the eighty-one people stood, one by one dark red metal square covers were quickly raised, and after a few breaths, all the soldiers were enveloped in it.

There was a flash of blue light next to the tent. After a while, the soldier in the regular uniform hurriedly walked out with another stack of metal cards, standing outside the square canopy where the reckless man was. At this time, the dark red metal shroud was already slowly falling. Eighty-one fierce warriors were fully armed, and on the more than one foot of the fierce army mecha, the flame gilt pattern was printed with the scorching sun, and the afterglow of the sun flickered, lining the martial arts arena as if eighty-one flames had been raised.

"Report, the dot matrix has arrived, the jade festival post west 35 south 29, there is a key to the arrival, speed 95. Three divisions have been prepared, and they are allowed to attack! The herald shouted loudly with a dot matrix card held aloft.

I saw that the leader of the fierce armor army raised his hand forward, and grabbed a flame pattern axe spear rising in front of him, with the muzzle facing downward, the barrel of the axe, and a red spar with flashing electric ripples embedded in the middle of the handle. It was what the chief had carried around his waist.

"Listen to my orders, form an armor array!"

"Wearing fierce armor, you will never die!"

"Wearing fierce armor, you will never die!"

"Wearing fierce armor, you will never die!"

During the shouting of the team training, tongues of fire erupted from the leg armor of all the flame mechas, and the phalanx quickly rose into the air, gathering at the designated position above the camp tent to form two hexagonal flame shields in the front and rear.

As soon as the shield array was formed, a silver light crossed in the distance, "Bang! With another loud bang, the first piece of shield armor in the sky that had just taken shape had been pierced by a cone-shaped dark gold missile, and more than ten clusters of flame stars quickly fell and disappeared, and then the second shield was also knocked out and deformed. The formation was broken, and the flames quickly dispersed. Immediately afterward, the aerial fire ball and the remaining soldiers of the first shield combined into a circle of fire.

The cone-shaped dark gold fluid in the wheel formation also began to spheroid in the moment it was blocked, and then the core purple light flashed. In just an instant, the dark gold sphere seemed to grow tens of millions of steel needles at once, and rushed towards the newly formed flame array!

"Boom!" A red laser burst out on the martial arts arena, aiming at the place where the purple light of the ball disappeared, and instantly pierced. The Dark Gold Spike had not yet fully unfolded, and in an instant it shrank back to its original state. The battlefield froze in time, and after a short pause of three breaths, before the fire array could be closed, the sphere suddenly exploded again, bursting into a dark purple pink mist. At this time, there seemed to be an extra cloud of purple smoke in the air, but before the fog dissipated, the air fire wheel immediately extended, forming a hollow fire net to wrap the purple cloud, and then the soldiers spewed out slender tongues of fire from their hand armor. The sky was blazing, and it didn't take long for the smoke to disappear.
