Bulwark of Light

2022-09-15

Zou Hai was very busy in the monitoring room.

Today’s Kubao is in a state of total closure!

Due to the sudden outbreak of “mental toxins”, every day all has newly added “suspected infected persons” who are pulled into the quarantine area, and the available manpower in the Kubao Fortress is not enough…and it is getting more and more less!

The preparation atmosphere in the fortress was unprecedentedly tense.

The Brigadier General isolates himself in the attic study, and the command tasks of the supervision room all fall on Zou Hai’s shoulders alone. He has not closed his eyes for two consecutive days… As far as transcender is concerned, this is nothing at all, but there are new mission instructions and handover communications every minute and every second. Kubao Fortress is known as the “throat of human destiny”, and the arrival of this huge storm will affect With the fate of the entire Northern Continent front, a large number of transcenders have been stationed outside the fortress.

It’s just that Lin Lin gave the order.

Close the fortress, no entry or exit!

These transcenders carry Legion’s weapons, essentia, and sufficient supplies, but it’s a pity that they can only stand by outside the gate of the fortress…

If the infection of “psychotoxin” occurs There is a downward trend. Even if the infection has not been completely blocked, the Kubao side will consider opening the door, but the current infection trend is getting more and more serious. Once the fortress is replenished, the “mental toxin” is likely to spread rapidly. At that time, The mere placement and treatment of the wounded would overwhelm the fortress.

Today’s Kubao.

It’s a true lonely city.

“Lord Adjutant, the third Legion is calling.”

The operator in the monitoring room suddenly received a call. He was nervous and asked for instructions quickly.

The third Legion…that’s the White Lizard General’s troops.

This is an incoming call from the public channel. If you choose to connect, the sound of this incoming call will sound throughout the monitoring room.

Zou Hai slightly frowned, pondered for a second, then nodded to indicate that he could be connected.

“Hello…”

A deep voice rang out from the inspection room.

It was the voice of a middle-aged man, with a mellow and refined voice that made one feel relaxed.

His voice is recognizable.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone knew who was on the other end of the communicator… “Osmond” known as the Eye of the Third Legion.

Osmond was born in Middle Continent, but he came to Bei Continent at a very young age. He lived on this land for thirty years, fought with the General, and experienced the turbulent wars of the Northern Continent royal family. , dazzling military exploits, and the strength is deep and unmeasurable, the name “Osmond”, which means “great” and “cluster”, is a natural leader.

And he does exactly what the name implies.

Now he is known to everyone in Beizhou, known to everyone, and in the third Legion, the man who is most likely to take over the position of General.

Zou Hai pressed his forehead with his fingers.

Just hearing the name made him feel a little bit of pressure…

General’s powerhouse as clouds, and “Osmond” who stood out from thousands of experts “top powerhouse”, because of their outstanding abilities, they are generally responsible for guarding a fortress alone. In rare cases, they will walk around in person, because their actions mean the will of the “General”.

“Adjutant Zou Hai.”

Osmond’s voice was low and elegant, “I am the ‘Garrison’ closest to Kubao, the storm is coming, I am I hope to help Kubao fight together.”

Fighting the storm…

Is this what the General meant?

Zou Hai clenching one’s teeth and said: “Sorry… Due to the ‘sudden epidemic’, the castle cannot be opened.”

“Understood.” Osmond His voice was still calm, and the high-level officials of the news of the psychotoxin already knew all about it: “But I hope you know one thing, once the Kubao is broken, the entire Beizhou front will cause drastic changes… There may be hundreds of thousands of warriors forced to Fighting in the inland, and unfolding the final cards like the ‘Fire Plan’, will bring unprecedented pressure to Beizhou.”

He is not exerting pressure.

Rather, it is stating facts.

And Zou Hai understood the meaning of Osmond’s call.

In the face of two disasters… Beizhou’s high-level executives can only ask multiple-choice questions, both sides of the scale are “casualties”, and this call probably conveys the position of General White Lizard in a subtle way.

The General believed that the destruction of the giant wall by the “Elemental Storm” would bring about even greater disasters.

Open the gate of the castle.

Solve the toughest puzzle first.

As for the other side of the scales…it can only be resolved after the fact, no choice in the world is perfect, no matter which side you choose, there will always be someone to sacrifice.

Life and death, more or less, this is indeed a very cruel question.

Innocent on either side.

“Mr. Osmond.”

A cold voice suddenly sounded in the monitoring room.

Zou Hai turned around in surprise.

A blond young man came here at an unknown time, and behind him stood seven elite members investigating Legion’s second team.

The astonished voice sounded from the communicator: “Zhongyuan?”

If I remember correctly, the crusade of the Dolu River disaster has just ended… The second investigator of Legion. Captain , should be resting.

How did it appear in Kubao?

“It’s me.” Zhongyuan took over the words and said calmly: “I won’t explain the specific situation, now I’m in the territory of Gubao… I think that at this stage, directly open the Fortress City door, Not a good choice, this ‘psychotoxin’ is not simple, it is very similar to the power in the Doru River disaster, it may be the ‘power of the same source’, you can pass this message to the General, I want to open the gates of the fortress, perhaps causing a second unnecessary disaster.”

“We always have to do something…”

Osmond paused.

Obviously, hearing Zhong Yuan’s words, the Eye of the Third Legion also hesitated a little.

“I think that today’s Kubao still has a chance to resist this disaster… There are a total of 149 Origin Energy Boats and 2,300 Origin Energy Cannons. If the ‘Umbrella Line of Defense’ launches an attack, even without the assistance of [Deep Sea], it is still possible to strike a direct blow to this storm to reduce the collision of its landing.”

Nakahara said calmly: “We It takes time to fully control the spread of ‘spiritual toxins’, as long as the giant wall can withstand it during this period, then the door can be opened next.”

“…”

He is not denying support.

I hope that the third Legion can give “Kubao” more time.

“Understood.” Osmond said softly: “Within twelve hours, this storm will make landfall, and the Gubao side needs to always give me feedback on the situation… I mobilized one hundred and twenty Origin energy boats, these origin energy boats will not land on the giant wall and can participate in battles at any time.”

At this level, he no longer needs to apply repeatedly with the General.

He has control over an entire fortress.

The spread of “spiritual toxins” is carried out through the spiritual contact between living beings and living beings, which is an incomprehensible extraordinary power… and the most terrifying thing is that this “toxin” may even invade Dyeing the “deep sea” and further spreading through the deep water area, most areas of today’s Kubao Fortress are in a self-blocking “local area network” state.

“Deep Sea” only retains the basic auxiliary functions.

In this case.

Nowadays, what the castle needs most is “manpower”. Because the “toxin” has not yet been controlled, the third Legion cannot enter the city, but the floating energy boat can directly reach the giant wall and provide fire support. It is a fortune in misfortune!

The phone hangs up.

Everyone in the surveillance room is sighed in relief.

Zou Hai looked tired and looked at the blond young man, “Thanks…”

“Nothing to thank, I just stick to the right decision for you.” Zhong Yuan replied lightly After saying a word, he came to the command room and stared at the [Sky Eyes] guarding outside the Umbrella Defense Line. He has been here most of the time these days. As the second Captain investigating Legion, he has a certain reputation in Beizhou. Lin Lin gave him part of the command in the fortress.

And the monitoring room at the moment really needs a “backbone” that can support the scene.

“Is there any news yet?”

Zou Hai also looked at the screens Zhong Yuan was watching.

The elite team of the second team on the mission to go out… Not long ago, the link was suddenly disconnected in the “Life and Death Book”, which was exactly the same as the scene when Hong Zhong was on the mission, and this was considered to be their Sign of successfully reaching the maze.

Fortunately, soon.

All the Spirit, Soul and Qi that were already extinct, have been restored.

Last time, only Hong Zhong had “recovered”, which should mean… all of them are out of danger.

It’s just that the next situation is very bad. There is a big storm outside the giant wall, and the “storm” is conceived and born faster than expected. This is simply hopeless news. .

According to the original planned time for the return trip, this team is likely to have encountered a storm.

However, a “miracle” happened at this moment.

In the Life and Death Book, none of the members have gone out of mind, which means they are all alive!

It’s just…the storm is about to make landfall in Kubao now.

Their silhouettes haven’t appeared yet.

Zou Hai is very clear that if the storm reaches a certain range of the “Umbrella Defense Line”, then Kubao will carry out the most severe defensive counterattack without the slightest hesitation… At that time, all the floating boards will be closed and folded. , even if this squad reaches the defense line, there is no chance to enter.

And after this call from Osmond.

The energy boats around the castle have begun to mobilize and head towards the giant wall.

War is about to break out.

The remaining time of the explorer’s square has already begun to be calculated in “seconds”.

“Lord Adjutant… [Sky Eye] sends back the screen!”

On the big screen in the central control room, someone punched the desktop hard.

The Inspector’s voice was agitated.

The screen refreshes, zooms in, and zooms in again.

After a dozen consecutive magnifications, the “storm” on the horizon became clearly visible, and the crazy Wind Tornado of swallowing heaven devouring earth sucked everything into it, and the mountain range along the way was long. The ridges collapsed one after another.

And before the storm.

There is a group of silhouettes running wild.

Compared with the storm that swept Heaven and Earth, their figures are very small, very small… Even if they are magnified dozens of times, they are still trivial ants, and they cannot see the specific appearance. Can see some clarity.

This is the maze quest explorer squad!

They ran desperately before the storm.

“Open the ‘Umbrella Defense Line’!”

Zhongyuan’s golden eyes burst out with a strange brilliance, he felt the blood in his body boiling and burning, and his voice became high-pitched , “Investigate Legion’s second team, everyone obeys orders…Leave immediately, go with me to the giant wall, and welcome the returnees!!!”
