There are so many black bugs that it makes one’s scalp numb just looking at them.
As they get closer and closer to the target, these black bugs become more and more excited and make shrill screams.
The soldier captain on the city wall looked serious, and some of the new recruits around him saw this kind of battle for the first time and were extremely frightened.
"This distance is enough." The soldier captain estimated the distance in his mind, and then a metal object in his hand trembled rapidly.
This metal object was used to convey messages and orders from higher-ranking generals.
"Launch." The moment the soldier captain received the order, he immediately shouted to his subordinates.
"call out……"
Huge crossbow arrows were shot out one after another, turning into golden streams of light and flying quickly towards the black crows and insects in the sky.
Harsh whistling sounds sounded from various places on the city wall. Some residents in the city saw the golden stream of light rushing toward the insect swarm, and prayed excitedly, "We must repel these insects!"
"boom."
"boom."
"boom……"
A loud explosion sounded in the sky, and the shock wave generated by the explosion swept across the surroundings, killing a large number of insects at once.
Bugs began to rain from the sky, and a thick layer of dead bugs spread on the ground.
"continue."
The soldier captain issued the order, and no one dared to slack off at this time.
Wave after wave of attacks greeted the insect swarms in the sky, and the insect swarms that wanted to attack Zecheng suffered very serious losses.
"Zhizhizhi..."
Because of their low IQ, these insects are not afraid of death.
A large number of companions died in battle, which only aroused their ferocity.
Long-range strikes wiped out most of the insect swarm, and the remaining insect swarms could only be dealt with by other means.
"Activate the defensive barrier."
The city gate guard issued the order again and arranged for the soldiers at various places on the city wall to activate the spiritual weapons.
The invisible air quickly condenses into shape and then all connects together.
After a while, Zecheng was enveloped by a huge air barrier.
"Bang bang bang..."
The insect swarm hit the barrier, making a very dense collision sound.
The soldiers on the city wall used various weapons to clean up the insects. Some practitioners who came to help were relieved when they saw that the soldiers were able to do so with ease.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead observed the battle and saw that the city gate guard was so well prepared. He knew that the insect swarm that came to attack Zecheng this time would eventually return in vain.
Half an hour later, there were not many insects left in the swarm, and some surviving insects fled.
"Won."
"Hahaha……"
"These bugs still want to invade our city, which is simply wishful thinking."
The soldiers laughed loudly, and the scene became a sea of joy.
"What a false alarm!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered as he looked at the laughing people on the city wall.
As the war subsided, some shops on the street opened one after another.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking on the road. You could hear many people talking about the battle just now. Everyone was full of respect for the soldiers defending the city.
A shop selling spiritual weapons was open for business ahead, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead happened to meet him.
So he walked in to see if there were any suitable spiritual weapons.
"welcome."
When the waiter saw the customers coming, he greeted them warmly.
Because it didn't open in the morning, I didn't do any business all morning.
Now the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead comes to the store. If he can get the business done, it will be open in the morning. The waiter is very enthusiastic now.
"Do you have a communication device here?" the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked.
"Yes, sir, please come with me over here..." the waiter said, leading the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead deeper into the store.
Not long after, the two people came to the depths of the store.
The main reason why communication magic weapons are placed in this place instead of on the shelf at the door is because there are relatively few people buying communication magic weapons.
"This price is so expensive!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the price and was very surprised.
“It seems like it wasn’t so expensive before!”
"Yes, the price of this type of spiritual weapon has increased recently."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked doubtfully, "Can you tell me why the price has increased?"
The waiter nodded, "Recently, the rebels have been restless, so forces in various places have begun to purchase many communication devices to maintain instant communication."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, nodded when he heard this and secretly cursed those rebels as bastards.
The high price was prohibitive. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead didn't bring much money with him this time. Now that he saw how expensive the communication weapon was, he stopped thinking about it.
The waiter then introduced other spiritual weapons. The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at them, but didn't take any fancy to them.
"I'll go around again."
"OK."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said something to the waiter, then turned and left the spiritual weapon shop.
Although the business was not completed, the waiter still adhered to the concept of service first and sent the customers to the door.
"Where should I go next?"
"Try to find a chamber of commerce again, maybe someone else is at home."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead made up his mind, and then he called a carriage on the road.
…………
"Da da da……"
The carriage drove quickly down the street and arrived at its destination in a short time. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead paid the money and got off the carriage.
As before, there are people guarding the door of this chamber of commerce.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, stepped forward and explained his purpose.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go in and report." the guard said.
"Eh?!!!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead showed an expression of joy. He just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect it to happen.
About ten minutes passed after the guard left, and then came back again.
"Please come in, sir."
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and then followed him deeper into the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters.
"The guards here are very dedicated!"
"There are a lot of guards placed in various places."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead glanced at some hidden locations around him and found that they were guarded by guards. He admired the defense strength of this chamber of commerce in his heart.
After walking around in the corridor for six or seven minutes, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the hall where guests were received.
"Please wait here for a moment. Our president will come over as soon as he finishes handling the matter at hand."
"Yeah." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and the maid on the side stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea.
After waiting patiently for a while and drinking several cups of tea, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw a tall and thin figure with extraordinary temperament walking into the hall.
…………
"Ha~"
The driver yawned boredly and glanced at the Chamber of Commerce in the distance from time to time.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead made an agreement with the coachman when he came here, so now he has to wait for the guest to come back.
"Why have you been gone so long?"
"He's not lying to me, is he?"
The coachman waited for more than an hour, but he didn't see the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walking out of the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"If I had known, I would have asked him to pay the remaining money. If he ran away now, I would have wasted my time waiting for him here."
The coachman muttered, and just when he was about to lose his patience, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out from the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters.
When the coachman saw the guest returning, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
At this time, he discovered that this guest had a bright smile on his face and a secret fragrance in his heart. He must have negotiated a big deal with someone from the Chamber of Commerce.
After an hour of discussion, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead reached an intention to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce.
At first, the other party thought it was a joke, but when the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead revealed his identity, his doubts disappeared instantly.
"Go back to the inn."
"OK."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got into the carriage. The coachman, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately waved his whip in his hand, turned the carriage around, and ran quickly towards the inn.
There are more and more passers-by on the street. After the danger is over, no one will be willing to stay at home.
The carriage moved along the street very quickly and had to stop due to traffic jam.
In the past, if the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead encountered this situation, he would feel a little irritable.
At this moment, he was in a very good mood because he had negotiated a big deal, and he didn't care about the traffic jam.
"Now that the matter is settled, after a while the Chamber of Commerce will finish the work at hand, and then they can allocate manpower to come to us."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought happily that although the president of the Chamber of Commerce didn't say what the matter at hand was, he thought about it for a moment and knew that it was about preparing supplies for the army.
Anyway, the spirit stone veins discovered will not escape. Just wait patiently for the Chamber of Commerce to handle the matter, and then wait for the money to be distributed.
The traffic jam improved, and the coachman immediately drove the carriage forward.
After a while, the inn appeared in front of you.
"Sir, we've arrived."
"Um."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead responded, then got out of the car and paid the fare. The groom counted the fare and found that he paid too much.
"Sir, you gave me too much money." The groom returned the extra money to the guest.
"I'm sorry I made you wait for so long. Just accept the extra money!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead waved his hand.
"Thank you, sir." The groom thanked him happily.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the inn. Two figures wearing bamboo hats whose faces could not be seen happened to pass by on the roadside. The three of them almost bumped into each other.
"Sorry." One of the figures wearing a black hat apologized.
"It doesn't matter." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said nonchalantly.
The two figures wearing black hats continued to walk forward, chatting in low voices.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who was about to enter the inn suddenly stopped and looked at the two figures wearing black hats who were leaving.
"This guy is weird."
"Forget it, it's none of my business."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead shook his head, withdrew his gaze and walked into the inn.
"Sir, are you back?" The waiter in the inn saw the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead and greeted him quickly.
"Prepare a table of food for me, and serve it as before." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ordered.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter said with a smile, because when the customer gave the order, he dropped some copper coins to reward him.
"Now that things are settled, it's time for me to go back..."
"You have been away from the camp for so long and you don't know how they are doing?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead returned to the guest room, picked up the kettle on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
He thought about returning to the camp for a while and decided to set off in a few days.
…………
"The pig-headed man just now looks familiar," the short investigator said.
"Really? I don't think so." The tall investigator shook his head.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it," the short investigator said, and then asked his companion what he had eaten for lunch.
"It's a bit hot today and I don't have much appetite. Let's eat something light!" said the tall investigator.
The two of them chatted while walking. After returning to the inn, they ordered some light meals from the waiter.
"Those insect swarms were wiped out today, and the soldiers here are very skilled!" The short investigator poured some tea into the cup.
"Seeing that they did not panic and launched the attack in an orderly manner, they must have made sufficient preparations in advance." The tall investigator said.
"If a herd of alien beasts attacks this city, do you think those soldiers can defend the city with their performance today?" the short investigator asked with a smile.
"The difficulty is not small. If there is no back-up plan, the city gate will most likely be breached by a group of alien beasts." The tall investigator shook his head.
"I think so too. According to the intelligence we have received, if this city can stand here for hundreds of years, there must be some special means that have not been shown to defend against the enemy." The short investigator smiled.
"Now we stay here to collect intelligence. It's best to complete the task before something happens. Whether the city is safe or not has nothing to do with us." The tall investigator picked up the water glass and said slowly.
