Rhodes saw an extremely steep and towering gray mountain range in the distance.
A thin crack opened the mountain range from the center, and Jianguan stood in it.
As I got closer, I discovered that the "crack" was more than a hundred yards wide, and the Jianguan Pass at the end of the canyon was also a magnificent blue fortress.
The soldiers guarding the sword pass were extremely excited about the arrival of the reinforcement team. When Rhodes and others stepped into the fortress, huge cheers almost echoed throughout the Death Mountain Canyon.
The garrison commander is called Charas Steelhand. He is a man in his thirties, with a weathered face and gray temples, but his smile at the moment makes him look much younger.
"That's great, brothers. It's great that you are here. We originally thought we would wait another week for reinforcements. The higher-ups in the defense area told me that the dispatch schedule of the Military War Department is full, but we really can't afford to wait. The overflow is
The black tide will come here at any time, and our psychic generator has not been repaired yet. If the fortress collapses, everything will be over."
Baywood stepped forward and held his hand.
"Don't worry, sir, we have brought Mina, a specially appointed researcher from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute and a specially appointed teacher from Jinworth College. She will definitely be able to repair the psychic generator."
Applause and cheers rang out again.
Mina waved to them generously, which aroused a lot of whistles.
Annabeth muttered under her breath: "Big-breasted and brainless guy."
Baywood smiled and said: "Sir, please assign us tasks."
Steel Hand Jawhead led them into the combat command room in the center of the fortress.
On a huge round table, there is a map with Jianguan as the center.
"This is our position. It is located in the seventh defense area, at the end of the inner defense circle. Behind us is the red clay plain in the heart of the kingdom. If we fall, the first to be hit will be Yancun and Nanfeng Town."
"After destroying these two settlements, the violent monster tide will continue to spread to eight villages and towns along these three lines. It will not be until the old city has enough defenses to resist. In addition to a large number of resident casualties, three true silver mines, seven
Platinum mines will be shut down, and there will be a certain gap in the supply of resources, making recovery very difficult."
The steel hand's thick fingers moved on the map, and his tone became a little heavy.
"The Kuroshio arrived one day earlier than the White Tower expected. The outer defense circle has been disabled, and the middle defense circle has assumed the functions of the outer layer. In other words, the inner defense circle has become a middle defense circle." p>
"According to the principle of defense, we will also suffer a greater impact. In fact, we have been attacked by a large number of evil spirits, and it was they who destroyed our psychic generator."
Beowood nodded: "Please don't worry, sir, we have brought a top-notch psychic, and no evil spirit can escape his vision."
One soldier shouted: "Great! For the first time, I feel that we are being taken seriously."
A team leader shouted excitedly: "Isn't that right? They also brought a guardian fire! Our fire protection sacrificial site can finally use the remaining fire!"
The steel hand also showed a happy smile.
"This is really the best news I have heard this year. Our first priority now is to quickly repair the psychic generator. Without it to provide psychic protection, the Jianguan Fortress may be defeated."
"Then clean up the monsters near the sword pass to reduce the pressure when the black tide comes, especially those evil spirits still wandering in the wasteland."
"Finally, we also need to establish several patrol teams to ensure the safety of our material transportation and communications."
He turned his head and said seriously.
"I'm sorry. After a series of fierce battles, there are only twenty-one of my soldiers left. Unfortunately, two were killed in the battle and fifteen were seriously injured. They were sent back to the royal city. Our defense mission will be very heavy."<
/p>
Both Beowood and Raistlin smiled and said in unison: "Don't worry, sir, we are not afraid."
The steel hand said loudly: "Okay, I am relieved because of your words. May the fire walk with us, illuminate our sharp blades, and kill all the monsters and monsters!"
Three strong arms were linked together, and all three of them showed passionate expressions.
Then, they began to carefully discuss the allocation of personnel.
Beowood and Raistlin introduced the characteristics and combat capabilities of each team member to Steel Hand in detail.
Moore carried a lantern and came to the fire protection sacrificial site surrounded by warriors, and placed the guardian fire in the center of a huge stone plate.
Along with his strange ritual movements, the guardian fire gradually became stable.
Until there was a soft sound of the card, it was like some kind of mechanism was embedded, the missing hurdle was filled, and the protective fire solidified.
The next moment, the entire fortress lit up.
The mood of the soldiers also broke through the barriers, and many of them couldn't help crying, feeling the warm atmosphere that they had not felt for a long time.
Rhodes also felt the strange warmth that went straight to his heart.
It was as if the protective fire had taken root here, dispersing the coldness from the bottom of the world.
Perhaps this is the reason why humans have always used fire as their stronghold.
Maul also showed a smile. After the guardian fire fell to the ground, the power became stable and would not be lost easily.
As long as you pay attention to adding phlogiston, the fire will be difficult to extinguish.
Afterwards, the soldiers took Mina to the underground of the fortress.
In the center of the basement, there is a large red tree-shaped crystal.
The bottom of the crystal is a round altar made of red copper, which looks like a giant bonsai growing out of the metal.
A soldier said: "Miss Mina, this is our psychic generator. When it is activated, it will use psychic energy to strengthen our fortress so that it will not be collapsed by monsters and will also prevent spirits from penetrating. However, due to the
We haven't maintained it for too long. After it was attacked by evil spirits last time, it broke down and can no longer be started."
Mina nodded, and when she got closer, she saw cracks all over the psychic energy generator. She touched it lightly with her delicate hands and found that the metal at the bottom was losing psychic energy.
Her expression became solemn, she took out the tools from the backpack behind her and began to disassemble the metal underneath, revealing the complex structure inside.
No one could understand it, only Rhodes could barely recognize it. It was somewhat similar to the internal structure of the spirit gun. Both of them changed or amplified the spiritual energy through certain structures, and then formed specific effects through certain cores.<

Although they couldn't understand, almost all the warriors in Jianguan came to watch.
The psionic energy generator is the core of Jiangguan. The fortress of Jiangguan is made of ordinary stones. Although it is convenient and fast, without the psionic energy generator, it will be easily collapsed.
Everyone looked at Mina expectantly.
But as the repairs progressed, Mina's face became more and more solemn, and everyone became anxious.
At some point, the garrison commander and two captains also stood aside.
Suddenly, Mina stood up and said in a deep voice: "The situation is far beyond expectations. It has not been maintained for a long time. The internal damage is very serious, and there are many breakpoints. The most serious one is this psychic adjuster, which has been
Completely damaged."
The steel hand said nervously: "Miss Mina, can you fix it?"
Mina glanced at him, with only the researcher's solemnity on her delicate and beautiful face.
"I can repair it, but I need at least ten pieces of red copper and platinum."
The steel hand quickly said: "Yes, we have it in the warehouse."
"I still need a ruby."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces showed a look of embarrassment.
Ruby is not an ordinary material, and they don’t have it in their warehouse.
Baywood asked: "Is it too late to apply upward?"
The steel hand looked embarrassed: "It will take four to five days at the fastest. It is very difficult everywhere now. The fortresses and fortresses on the front line are facing the impact of the Kuroshio. They are in great need of supplies. Our situation is relatively relaxed. It is impossible for the military war department to
Process immediately."
"What should we do? Do we have to give up Jianguan?"
This is too hard to accept.
Gangshou looked back and saw that almost everyone was gathered in the basement. He asked pleadingly: "Do any of you have rubies?"
No one answered.
He also knew that it was almost impossible for anyone to answer. Who would carry a ruby that cannot be eaten or used on their body?
However, Rhodes suddenly felt something in his heart.
He rolled up his sleeves, buttoned up his buttons, and made out the lightning symbol. His soul rose into the sky and he instantly returned to the dreamland.
In the quiet mist, a pile of debris was piled in the corner of the cabin.
Rhodes looked through it and quickly found the ruby they called.
It is oval in shape, the size of a pebble, warm and shiny, and very expensive, costing 4,900 silver cords.
It was he who bought it during the big shopping trip.
Rhodes held Ruby in his palm, folded his hands, and made a lightning gesture. His soul fell rapidly and returned to the material world in an instant.
His hands were smooth, hard yet soft. Rhodes unbuttoned his cufflinks and opened his palms. The ruby had already appeared in his palms.
"I have!"
In a dark and silent atmosphere, Rhodes' voice was like a ray of light, piercing the clouds.
In an instant, everyone focused their attention on Rhodes, and on the jade that exuded a warm red luster on his outstretched palm.
Mina was extremely surprised: "How could you have it? Why did you bring the ruby with you?"
She stretched out her hand to pick it up, but Rhodes retracted it as if he had been burned.
"I bought this and I have to pay for it."
Rhodes' words made everyone feel relieved.
Steel Hand immediately said: "Don't worry, Brother Rhodes, if the Military War Department doesn't reimburse you immediately, I will pay for it."
"That's good."
Rhodes then felt relieved and stretched out his hand.
Mina snatched it away angrily and said angrily: "Money, money, money, you know money!"
Rhodes said dissatisfied: "I'll buy it with my own money!"
"Don't you know dedication?"
"Then do you want to dedicate one night to me?"
"Bah! What a beautiful thought."
Mina's Joy 9
Humanity 1
Mina turned her head, carefully looked at the ruby in her hand, and said happily: "It's real, it can be used!"
Cheers immediately echoed throughout the basement.
Raistlin's face was also filled with joy. He didn't want to see the mission interrupted before it even started.
He came closer and asked in a low voice: "Rhode, why do you carry a ruby with you?"
Rhodes replied casually: "Warning off evil spirits!"
"...Ruby is a very precious spiritual material. Without protection, the spirituality will attract black mist and become corrupted. It can only bring disaster."
While Rhodes was racking his brains to make up excuses, Mina said again:
"Don't be too happy. Its contact core is also completely damaged. If it were in the royal city, I would recommend that this instrument be scrapped directly."
The steel hand hurriedly asked: "Is there any way to repair it? Miss Mina."
"Yes, I can make a new one. I have the conventional materials, but I need a radiant stone of more than 13 grams."
Isn’t it?
Looking at everyone's sinking faces, Rhodes had a very bad feeling.
