The weird game of the ancient gods

"That is a cursed city!" the old man said in a fearful tone.

"Cursed? What do you mean?"

"People living in that city are suffering from strange diseases. The longer they stay, the more serious the disease becomes. The residents there are either dead or crazy, or become neither human nor ghosts. The priests said that it is the inspiration of God. , but no one believed it, and everyone stopped going to worship. They said that the priests had blasphemed the gods, some said that the God of Light was dead, and others said that it was a curse left by the Goddess of Darkness. Now the city is deserted. , only the priests still live there, and some lunatics who believe the priests’ lies.”

The old man's voice gradually became lower, and he felt a little emotional: "Thousands of years ago, it was the center of the Velua continent, the city of light, and the place where kings met. Now only we poor farmers can occasionally visit it. I went to deliver some food, but my son has been cursed just because he has been a servant to the priests for two years, and I don’t know how long he can live.”

The old man said sadly, but his expression did not change. It was a sign of numbness to life.

"Is your son that person?" Xia Yu pointed at a man wrapped in a scarf and hunched over.

The man kept looking at the old man with evasive eyes.

The old man nodded and looked at the man with sad eyes, "He is my son."

Xia Yu waved, "Come here and let me take a look."

The man came over and took off the scarf on his face, revealing his nearly ulcerated skin. His face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and he looked like he was going to die at any moment.

Xia Yu winked at Longqi, who nodded, raised his hand and fired a purification spell.

The white light flashed, and the man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly straightened up, "Hey, I feel better, I'm better! I'm better!" He shouted excitedly, not looking like he was sick at all.

Everyone around was stunned.

The old man was surprised and happy. He knelt down and kissed the dragon rider's feet. "Thank you to the envoy. Thank you to the great envoy. It's a miracle. This is a miracle!"

Longqi was startled and hurriedly helped him up, then he felt a little happy.

Xia Yu struck while the iron was hot, "Old man, we are the messengers of the God of Light. We are about to go to the Holy City of Kalai to cure the curse there and purify the diseases there. Go and tell people the news. If any of you are sick, you can Go there and wait for treatment. If you want to witness the return of the God of Light, go there too."

The old man responded quickly, "I will go back to convey the news, and I will definitely gather everyone to go on a pilgrimage to Kalai City."

The old man was about to leave when the black cat suddenly asked: "About Kalai City and the God of Light, is there a legend or something that predicts something?"

The old man nodded, "There is indeed a legend. It is said that thousands of years ago, the God of Light and the Goddess of Darkness came to the world. The Goddess of Darkness wanted to plunge the world into eternal darkness, but the God of Light opposed her, so the two gods A war started.

In the end, the God of Light defeated the Goddess of Darkness, but he also suffered heavy losses. In order to protect his believers, the God of Light dug out the heart and placed it in the Holy City, thereby releasing eternal brilliance to illuminate the world. . Prevent the dark ages from coming.

The Dark Goddess was exiled forever and was expelled from this world.

But there is not a day when the Dark Goddess doesn't want to come back. She vows to destroy the Heart of Light. Once the Heart of Light is destroyed, the sun will fall and the world will fall into eternal darkness, without hope and future.

The God of Light also left a prophecy. He said that one day someone would understand the purpose of the Heart of Light, and at that time, the Heart of Light would take people to the world of God.

But the priests have been studying it for thousands of years, but they haven't come up with anything good. "

After hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky, thinking that this was too ridiculous.

Can the Heart of Light still be related to the sun? Doesn’t the game introduction say it’s an energy source?

Xia Yu waved to the old man and led everyone back into the car.

He glanced at the black cat and asked curiously, "How did you know there would be legends and prophecies?"

Black Cat smiled proudly: "There are always such legends and prophecies, and they usually hide important information and are related to the main plot. These are used to induce people to explore secrets and find the truth of the story. It's an old routine.

I feel like I know how to play this game. Black Cat said excitedly.

The reconnaissance vehicle was on the road again and soon caught up with the convoy in front. Not long after, the convoy arrived at the plain outside Kalai City and stopped outside the marked earthen fort.

This earthen fort has a surrounding wall and a wooden door, which is barely strong. However, the door was easily broken under the bombardment of rocket launchers. The platoon leader at the front station and his people directly drove out the people in the earthen fort.

"Who are you? This is the farm of the temple! How dare you be rude!" A middle-aged man at the head said with an angry face, but he did not dare to take action. Those terrifying steel chariots outside, the strange things in the hands of these weirdos The weapons and the explosion just now made them afraid to act rashly.

A big dog suddenly roared and charged forward. The platoon leader raised his hand and killed him with a single shot.

Everyone was frightened when they saw the whimpering dog on the ground.

"If you don't want to die like this dog, then leave quickly. This place has been requisitioned." The platoon leader said expressionlessly. After all, he was from the civilized world, but he didn't kill them all.

The middle-aged man left in a hurry with a group of servants. The platoon leader immediately assigned tasks to his men. He mounted the machine gun on the tower of the bunker and set up a self-propelled mortar behind the bunker. The ammunition and supplies were also moved It was moved down and transported to the yard.

"Come on, come on, guys, we are going to fight." The platoon leader shouted loudly, and he had to do it himself.

The layout of the battlefield was carried out in an orderly manner. Although the expeditionary force lacked heavy weapons, it had a lot of machine guns. Each squad had a general-purpose machine gun, and the fire support squad also had heavy machine guns, plus the machine guns on the tank. Artillery and machine guns, the number of machine guns in the entire expeditionary force exceeded sixty.

In addition, there are more than a dozen small-caliber mortars and a large number of rocket launchers.

In a matter of moments, this humble little earthen fort was armed into a deadly fortress.

The ammunition transport truck finished unloading the materials and carried out two more transportations. This crawler-type transport vehicle can transport more than ten tons of materials at a time. Ammunition and food were quickly piled up in the walls of the earthen castle.

By the way, another company of infantry was picked up. When the colonel and his command members were standing on the tower of the earthen fort, the cavalry troops of the Dark Empire had already appeared on the distant horizon.

These cavalry did not attack rashly. They immediately retreated when they found something was wrong. The lieutenant colonel did not order to fire. Although they could hit such a long distance, the hit rate was not high. There was no need to waste ammunition on so few enemies.

He stepped up his time to set up positions, clear shooting obstacles, and transport ammunition and personnel. The drones were constantly scouting. Feihu and Ergouzi were always by his side, witnessing the coming of this battle with their own eyes. Soon the positions were It's quite large.

Although there are only 400 troops, the position is very open, with dozens of firepower points covering each other in front, serving as a forward position.

The middle section is a concave defense line composed of walls and sandbags.

Finally, a core defense area was built with the earthen fort as the center. Behind the earthen fort, on the high ground outside the passage placed sideways, another group of fire support was arranged.

A large number of anti-infantry mines were deployed, and several barbed wire fences were pulled up. They were placed at key locations to effectively delay the cavalry charge.

Crops were burned directly to avoid blocking the firing range, and the expeditionary force was busy building its own defense line throughout the day.

The lieutenant colonel named it the Sanchez Line.

The lieutenant colonel also explained his strategic idea to the advisers, using peripheral strongholds to consume the enemy's troops and offensive, and a concave line of defense in the middle to block the enemy, killing a large number of the enemy's effective forces, and blocking the enemy on the second line of defense as much as possible.

The core defense area is the final evacuation point. In the worst case scenario, if the enemy attacks the core defense area, then preparations must be made for retreat. There are four ammunition transport vehicles, four self-propelled mortars and a reconnaissance convoy, which are enough to move the entire area. Some soldiers withdrew. Of course, in that case, the materials in the bunker would have to be detonated and given up.

This is the worst outcome the expeditionary force can accept.

"If we are lucky, we can block the enemy on the second line of defense, wait until their morale is low, and use mobile troops as the vanguard to counterattack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." The lieutenant colonel concluded.

At night, more cavalry appeared, but the main force of the Dark Empire army stopped more than ten miles away. There was no way. The marching speed of the ancient army was very limited. A distance of fifty kilometers was enough to cover the distance. We haven't even finished the day yet, so it seems that the decisive battle can only wait until tomorrow.

At this moment, Xia Yu and others had entered the city.
