In the twilight, the outskirts of Asakawa Castle are full of low-slung Ying houses of the old era, mainly made of wood, and there are hardly any new buildings with a large number of metal shielding coverings.

Asakawa Castle was originally a large city of the Ying clan in the west of Shikamotohara.

With mountainous terrain, high latitude and sufficient population, it has been an important production base for various industrial chains in high-tech manufacturing before the Great Annihilation.

Of course, this also made this area directly exposed to multiple nuclear bombs.

For more than 200 years, the great power of nature has changed the mountains and rivers, and there is no longer much prosperity in the old era.

The area is covered by endless forests.

Now, wood is one of the richest resources in the area, enough for the Ying people after the Great Annihilation to use wood as the preferred material for building dwellings, so as far as the eye can see, there are low-rise wooden buildings.

Another important reason for choosing wooden buildings is that the four major islands where the entire Ying people live and the island chains deep into the endless ocean are the most active areas of geological movement on the home planet.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons and many other natural disasters are continuous, so the earthquake-resistant wooden houses were also the first choice for people to build houses at that time.

Entering a slightly paved street, Welling was not questioned by anyone.

The Ying people around him, who were either returning home in a hurry or looking around blankly, seemed to be surprised by this tall young man wearing a dark green robe and a dark face with a cold face.

Over the years, I have seen a lot of such a majestic "ronin" who is majestic on the surface but is actually down-and-out.

More of the naturals avoided Welling's path far away, as if fearful of hindering the Warlock's steps, and looked very humble.

Just as Welling was about to go to the small shop on the side of the street to ask about the location of the Abe family in Asakawa Castle, a small vehicle suddenly flew in from a distance and hovered not far in front of Welling.

The hatch of the vehicle was not closed, and an armed sergeant was seated in the doorway.

As the vehicle hovered a few meters above the ground, the sergeant jumped.

The sound of the crash was very dull.

Welling looked at each other silently, expressionless.

This kind of armament is definitely not comparable to the Imperial "Warrior", but compared to the Imperial Mountain Militia Type IV exoskeleton armor that Welling saw for the first time, the kind codenamed "Lynx" is still much more advanced, and it should be regarded as quite close to the Imperial Mountain Militia exoskeleton armor, codenamed "Cheetah".

As the armed sergeant landed, there was also a warlock in a dark purple warlock robe, who looked much older than Welling, and also had dark stripes on his face.

The armed sergeant respectfully stepped aside, and the purple-clothed warlock slowly stepped forward, standing a few meters away from Welling, his eyes were cold and suspicious, and he threw out a message:

"Who are you? Department number? ”

Wei Ling smiled faintly, the other party's ability was a mid-level water spirit warlock, and it was not enough to pose a threat to himself:

"Haha, I'm Yayoi Hoshino, from Matsuo Castle on Matsuo Island, and I'm here to look for my friends from the past."

The purple-clothed warlock raised his eyes, and there was even a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was a little wary in his heart:

"Matsuo Island, it's been almost a decade since it fell.

I'm sorry, but generally speaking, Yayoi Hoshino is supposed to be a woman's name, so you're already suspected of being an enemy spy, so please come with us! ”

"Well, it's really embarrassing, my father and mother really wanted to give birth to a girl...... I know that Matsuo Castle was the first to fall, and in fact, I fled in a small civilian vehicle before the Murong Clan's attack.

But the vehicle was too unreliable, so he was trapped in the ocean, and he had been trying to survive all these years, and now he finally returned to the original deer. ”

Welling replied indifferently, and by the way, he threw a packet of massive data to the other party.

This packet contains the panic of Matsuo Castle when he discovered the western skyline, like a dark cloud, and the panic of the crowd running and stampeding.

There is how he piloted the small vehicle that is considered garbage in the civilian class, how he escaped the strait and flew to the Pheasant Plain, interspersed with a lot of experiences as a wilderness hunter in the Pheasant Plain, and used the money he earned to repair the garbage vehicle.

Then before the Murong clan attacked the grass pheasant plain, he flew to the deer plain, and finally because of the tatters of the vehicle, he was forced to land on the island between the grass pheasant plain and the deer plain, and then it was a few years of island survival, hard practice, and finally reached the middle-level warlock, cutting wood for a boat, and finally entered the deer plain and came to Asakawa City.

The purple-clothed warlock's body shook, and the massive amount of information was filled with too many details, making his sea of knowledge instantly feel like it was stuffed.

Welling looked at each other with a smile and a sense of mischievous joy.

Just kidding, he used thousands of spiritual power clones to make up the story, which is absolutely logical, like a blockbuster in detail, and can withstand careful scrutiny.

What a hanging! The purple-clothed warlock woke up from his dizziness and briefly digested Welling's message, he had fully believed in Welling's tragic experience in his heart, after all, there were so many details and time spans, normal people didn't lie so carefully, he rubbed his forehead:

"Okay, Hoshino-kun, you may not know the current situation, the situation is very unoptimistic, but all warlocks of the state must participate in the defense war, and no one is exempt.

Please come with us to meet the defense chief of Asakawa Castle, you are already a mid-level warlock, and you can't evade responsibility again! ”

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, I'm just looking for good friends, they should also be preparing to defend Asakawa Castle!"

Seeing Welling cooperate like this, the purple-clothed warlock and the armed sergeant both relaxed slightly.

The small vehicle landed on the ground, and Welling was the first to board the vehicle and sit down in a proper seat.

The armed sergeant and the purple-clad warlock also boarded the vehicle and sat down one after the other, sandwiching Welling in the middle.

The vehicle flew into the air and flew towards the interior of the city.

Through the narrow porthole of the small vehicle, Welling looked at the gradually dense lights below, Welling's face became a little relaxed, and he threw an extremely emotional message to the two:

"After more than ten years of lonely life, it's good to see these lights again."

The purple-clothed warlock was also a little relaxed when he thought of the ten years of Yayoi's hard work:

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that the Murong clan from the southwest is too brutal and won't allow all this to exist for a long time!"

"I think, isn't there a big family like the Abe family in Asakawa Castle? They shouldn't let each other get away with it! ”

Welling's eyes flickered with color.

The Purple Warlock disagreed with Welling's statement:

"The Abe family, yes, they are one of the big families in Asakawa Castle, but even ten years ago, they were not the biggest and strongest families.

After so many years of conquest, it should have lost some strength to a greater or lesser extent, let alone the most powerful. ”

"It doesn't matter, for a warlock like me, it would be nice to join them, I really don't want to be a Revenant."

"Well, Hoshino-kun, your requirements are more realistic, a mid-level warlock with average ability still has a place in the Abe family......

But the current situation is difficult to say, everything will depend on the post-war talks. ”

Welling understood the meaning of the purple-clothed warlock's words, now was not the time to join a certain family, no matter which family in Asakawa Castle had to fight to defend the city, as long as they could survive, they could naturally join.

Although Asakawa Castle is a large city, its scale is also limited, and with the speed of a vehicle, it quickly crosses the outer area of the city and enters the edge of the city.

Before Welling could continue to ask the purple-clad warlock more information, the vehicle had stopped in the plaza outside a building on the edge of the city.

To say that this building is a building is entirely a reference to other low-rise wooden dwellings, and it is at least a five-story building with some shielding and defensive armor.

Welling guessed that this should be an important military node to the west of Asakawa Castle.

The direction in which he entered the city, he did not choose the south and southwest, which was far away from the grass pheasant original Degao City, and the defense was tighter, so he let the palace guard make a proper detour and enter from the west, and at present, it seems that the protection on this side is indeed much more sparse.

Walking through the gear, under the night light, Welling found many armed sergeants and warlocks of all classes, on duty and guarding in different directions.

There are still quite a few solid defensive facilities on the ground, and all kinds of concealed and semi-concealed anti-aircraft phalanx are arranged.

It's a bit of a battlefield front-line feeling.

After all, Asakawa City is also regarded as the military center of the Eastern Japan Kingdom, and although the corresponding information defense command system is not as advanced as the Empire or the Murong Clan, it still exists.

The armed sergeants and purple-clothed warlocks who escorted Welling over had already systematically reported and filed the situation explained by Welling in the process of walking away from the equipment.

They then handed over the Welling to the other sergeants, and they boarded the small vehicles again to carry out their unfinished duties.

Welling calmly walked among the sergeants, looking left and right, and finally found that several high-ranking warlocks existed, but they ignored Welling, and were busy with their own business.

Soon, the sergeants led Welling to a fully enclosed metal hut and closed the door:

"Hoshino Yayoi-kun, you wait patiently for the chiefs to determine your identity!"

Darkness clouded the vision.

Woulding was noncommittal, quietly walked to the middle of the house, and sat down cross-legged.

However, the spiritual power is released outward, and the "heart eye" is used to check whether there is a transcendent high-level existence in the surrounding space, and if not, you can wait with confidence.

Fortunately, the results can be assured.

Therefore, Welling also held the mentality of being at peace when he came, and tried to obtain more information about the Abe family, as well as frangipani and knotweed from higher-level military personnel.

In the darkness, Welling's mind became more and more calm, and he gradually had a clear grasp of the whole environment.

About two hours later, the head of the small room suddenly lit up with blazing lights.

There are also two high-intensity spotlights, which directly project the bright and flickering lights on Welling's face.

Welling opened his eyes and couldn't help but squint.

The instantaneous transition of the environment from extremely dark to extremely bright made his pupils shrink suddenly.

The corners of Welling's mouth curled slightly.

In his spiritual detection, he had already sensed that next door to this small room, there were two mid-level late-stage and two high-level spirit bodies.

Has the trial begun?

It's a cliché way, through a one-sided perspective wall, the other party can observe their subtle facial expressions, but they can't see them.

As the lights turned on, a majestic message was thrown:

"Reacquaint yourself with who you are, and stop fooling people with the name of a girl like Yayoi Hoshino."
