The old man wrote the paperwork with a depressed look on his face, while He Xiaotian stood aside and watched with a smile.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he writes or not.
No one can refuse to pay, at least before refusing to pay, they must first ask the Bloody Double Hammer and the Swift Wind Battle Ax whether they agree or not.
"for you."
He Xiaotian reached out to take it and put it into the storage space.
"Don't worry, we will definitely win this war today. Because you have me."
When the old man heard this, he rolled his eyes.
The barbarians who built a city on the ice field were definitely not comparable to other people in the world.
What's more, all their people are soldiers and they fight bravely.
He also knows how to tame wild beasts and monsters. The combination of the two is not as simple as one plus one.
How many people have died just defending the city over the years?
countless!
Calling more than 30,000 people to come to XZ No Man's Land is not a proactive attack, but a passive defense.
Without the protection of the city wall, the cold wind on the ice field alone could kill some people.
On the other side, the strange people who came with He Xiaotian, each holding a bone weapon, stood in a row, waiting for the old man.
"Let's go, today I will let you little guys see the majestic city that we have spent half a year and countless manpower and financial resources to build." After the words fell, the old man, who was a little depressed just now, immediately became high-spirited.
It seemed like he was showing off something very great.
He Xiaotian curled his lips, majestic city?
It was as strong as Pastoral City, and it took him three axes to defeat it.
The bearded man in the team looked at the two people walking side by side with a surprised expression.
You know the second-in-command here, and you still asked me about the no-man’s land on the plane?
Under the leadership of the grassroots?
Playing!!
A group of people carried bone weapons and walked toward the depths of the no-man's land in a mighty manner for about ten minutes.
When they came to a metal wall made of alloy, they stopped.
The thickness of the wall is unknown, its length is several thousand meters, and it penetrates deep into the mountain peaks on both sides.
Looking at the dozen or so people holding standard rifles at the door, everyone felt at ease.
The bullets in the magazine must be made of ghost steel, and the inside is the powder of spiritual energy crystallization.
This thing is extremely powerful. Perhaps in the secluded world, it can only play the role of ordinary guns and ammunition in the real world. But when used in the real world, even a person who has awakened the physical body will be blown off by half of his body if shot from the front.
A bullet is as brutal as explosives.
"deputy mayor!"
A dozen soldiers immediately saluted the old man when they saw him.
"Don't do this during special times. Open the door quickly and send our heroes in."
"yes!"
Then He Xiaotian saw a dozen people spinning the roulette wheel on the alloy wall, which was quite laborious.
"Squeak!!"
A crack opened in the wall, and in the process, an unbearable harsh noise was made.
When a gap that could accommodate one person appeared, they immediately stopped.
The old man took the lead and walked in, followed closely by He Xiaotian.
The rest of the people also filed in.
After entering the alloy wall, a hundred meters away, there is a staircase going deep underground.
"The fissure is in the mountain, and we have carried out an all-round blockade. We have also placed all the powerful bombs provided by the energy research room around it. If the defense fails, people outside will detonate it.
The collapsed mountain can hinder the movement of the barbarians to some extent. In an instant, the remaining people can evacuate safely."
He Xiaotian's eyelids twitched as he listened to the old man's words.
You guys are really cruel.
About three hundred meters deep, a group of people stopped again in front of two five-meter-high alloy doors.
When the officer in charge saw the deputy district chief, he immediately began to work hard to open the door.
"Squeak!!"
"go in."
"Ouch!"
This is a huge space five hundred meters long and three hundred meters wide.
All are made of alloy, with a ten-meter-high and two-hundred-meter-long crack in the center emitting endless ghostly light.
"It's such a rich spiritual energy. I feel like I can become stronger with just one breath." Someone from the crowd behind him said.
He Xiaotian didn't feel much at all. If he was really a strange person, he might have the feelings of his companions behind him.
It's a pity that no matter how rich the spiritual energy is, it can't compare with the experience value.
"As you can see, this rift is too huge. If Hancheng sends troops, they will come like a tide and won't give us time to breathe. Not to mention that within a radius of 500 kilometers, large heavy weapons cannot be used.
So we went deep into the underworld and built a city. We guarded it firmly, and with the city walls and weapons produced by the energy research laboratory, we were still able to resist it."
The old man explained as he walked towards the crack.
In a moment, the team of nearly ninety people left the present world and entered the secluded world.
"Good weight!"
He Xiaotian and others all appeared in another alloy room.
It's almost the same as the other side in this world, the only difference is that the gravity is five times higher.
The faces of most people in the crowd immediately turned red, and some even bent their waists.
"In the beginning, it is indeed difficult. But if you persist for a while, you will adapt. And if you can return to the world, you will find that your strength has skyrocketed." The old man turned around and said to the red-faced people.
He Xiaotian's mouth twitched, right?
Such rich spiritual energy coupled with five times gravity training.
After going out, there will definitely be rapid growth in terms of strength.
"deputy mayor!"
The soldiers in the alloy room saluted in unison.
"Open the door and find a few people to take care of these little guys."
The twisting sound of the wheel and the sound of gears sounded, and the alloy door opened.
The two of them left, leaving behind the strange people who were standing there, just like the big ones were blocked.
After leaving the room, there was a spacious passage, also made of alloy. He Xiaotian had a toothache just looking at it.
Don’t you have any other metals?
It’s too luxurious!
As soon as he took a few steps, He Xiaotian discovered that the walls on both sides of the passage were covered with black and white photos.
"These are the heroes who died in the war over the past six months. We hang them on the wall in the hope that everyone who enters the City of the Dead will remember that every inch of the ground under their feet is the flesh and blood of the heroes.
At the same time, we also hope that the heroes and martyrs can one day see us victorious and triumphant. Let them know that every drop of blood is not in vain."
The old man sighed and slowly explained to He Xiaotian.
"I am victory."
He Xiaotian stopped and faced the old man seriously, speaking word by word.
"I hope so."
The deputy district chief was quite uninterested.
Roger described He Xiaotian as very strong, but a mule is a horse and will eventually be pulled out for a ride.
Moreover, he didn’t even know how many times he shouted the words victory.
By now, I am already numb.
The two of them left the passage, and a heated scene came into view.
There are busy people everywhere, and everyone has a serious look on their face.
A stormy momentum weighed on the top of my head.
"I'll take you to see the city wall."
The old man calmed down his emotions and said to He Xiaotian.
Then he continued to lead the way, and finally no one greeted him wherever he passed.
To be honest, if you are too busy, who cares about etiquette?
The top priority is to defend Hancheng from the next large-scale attack.
After a while, the two of them appeared on the thirty-meter-high city wall.
Above the large city wall, just like the ground, it was very busy.
Various arrows, stone balls and other defensive weapons were piled aside.
"At the beginning, we just built a ten-meter-high city wall using mountain rocks. The first time we defended well, a small group of soldiers came to attack the city. But soon, dozens of beasts similar to ancient mammoths
, driven here by barbarians.
The city wall was vulnerable to the attack of the giant elephant. After that, there was a bloody battle, with countless casualties. We learned from it, shipped a large amount of alloy, and with the efforts of strange people, we built a super strong
defense engineering.
The rocks on the periphery are made by the abilities of earth-type strange people. They are more than ten times harder than ordinary rocks, and super strong adhesives are added to them. In the past six months, hundreds of battles, large and small, have been going on.
There are battles almost every day, and relics are sent to all parts of the country every day.
But just a few days ago, Mancheng's offensive stopped. This gave me a very bad feeling. They seemed to be accumulating strength and preparing to give us a heavy blow. They would defeat us in one fell swoop."
He Xiaotian heard this and thought for a moment.
"Then why didn't the opponent directly defeat you at the beginning? Instead, they fought hundreds of offensive and defensive battles in the past six months?"
The old man seemed to have expected that he would ask such a question.
"We sent spies to monitor Hancheng's movements 24 hours a day. Two months ago, we finally discovered their secret. These people are mining ghost steel, and most of their strength is used to guard the mining area.
In addition, their city needed protection, so the force that came to attack the city was very small. At first, we didn't know what was in the mining area. Then I sent a group of troops to attack the mining area, brought back the ghost steel and sent it to the energy research room
.
Afterwards, you should know that this thing is an extremely important resource for us. When Han City could not send a large number of soldiers to attack the City of the Dead, we successively organized several death squads to plunder the ghost steel.
Probably because I was a bit ruthless in the robbery last time and pissed them off, I am now preparing for a big wave to wipe out outsiders like us here."
He Xiaotian glanced at the old man in surprise. He was robbing him a bit harshly. How ruthless was he?
It is estimated that the number is not small, otherwise the two sides have been going back and forth for half a year, and it would not have reached the point of stud.
"Don't look at me like this. Ghost Steel is extremely important. He even gives ordinary people the power to deal with evil spirits. It can greatly alleviate the situation that our country has not enough strange people and strangers. You tell me, I can watch them.
Transported to Cold City by barbarian soldiers?
It will take at most a week before all the barbarian soldiers in the mining area can return to their cities. Therefore, this batch of 30,000 fresh blood must adapt to the gravity of the Netherworld as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they will only become a burden. However, I sent more than 5,000 people, each with a hundred people in a team, to carry out small-scale harassment along the way. It can delay the time for about half a month, and then there will be a decisive battle.
Originally, I had made plans to die together and try to consume a wave of Hancheng's army before the city was broken. But I never expected that Roger gave me a big gift.
Unexpectedly, a talent like you has emerged from the Magic City. Even if you are not as strong as he said, you can at least alleviate our lack of high-end combat power."
"Don't say this, just prepare the gift you promised me, that's enough."
After the words fell, He Xiaotian left the city wall.
The bad old man is very bad. Photos and city history are thrown at him one after another.
Now that I'm here, uncle, I will definitely do my best.
Having said that, this emotional offensive is really quite turbulent.
Half a month later, nearly 50,000 strange people gathered together with weapons in hand.
The soldiers who had been monitoring Hancheng from the front brought bad news.
Of course, it can't be considered a bad situation, it can only be said to be a bad situation that was anticipated.
More than 60,000 barbarian soldiers marched towards the City of the Dead in a mighty manner.
At the same time, there are countless strange beasts of all kinds.
Under five times the gravity, even ferocious beasts are very powerful, not much worse than the strange people who first awakened.
Not to mention, there are still weird things out there.
A large number of soldiers climbed onto the city wall, waiting for the battle to come.
About five hours later, thick smoke billowed in the distance.
A large number of barbarian soldiers wearing animal skins and covered with muscles, holding white bone weapons, came over, driving the beasts that looked like ancient mammoths with their heads waving.
The earth was trembling, and everywhere you looked you could see human heads.
The number of barbarian soldiers numbering as high as 60,000 is not an ordinary shock to people.
Even if he is a veteran of hundreds of battles, sweat is constantly oozing out of his palms holding the weapon.
In the past, at most, a thousand people attacked the city.
Now that I have directly worked for 60,000 yuan, can I not be nervous?
The 30,000 newly arrived people looked at the large area of Youshi natives in the distance and said they were not afraid. That would be a lie.
How many people have experienced this kind of battle in which the combined number of both sides exceeds 100,000?
"Don't be afraid! We are defending the city and have an advantage."
The real district chief, who had not been seen for many days, finally appeared and loudly cheered for the strange people.
The barbarian army stopped about one kilometer away from the City of the Dead.
Subsequently, hundreds of mammoths were driven out.
This group of people didn't know what method they used to make the giant elephants roar towards the city like bulls in heat, carrying their three-meter-long tusks.
And during the charge, streaks of colorful light flashed from the hands of several barbarians from behind who had unknown paint on their faces, and were applied to the giant elephants attacking the city, as if they were superimposed with some kind of BUFF.
"Damn barbarian sacrifice!"
The deputy district elder stood beside He Xiaotian and cursed bitterly.
"how?"
"Within half an hour, except for me and the district chief, no one could do any substantial damage to the mammoth. And during this time, it was enough for the giant elephant to break through a city wall. The barbarians actually started a war of attrition and planned to consume the two of us first.
.
Sure enough, those guys who can live on the harsh ice field and build a city are not without brains."
He Xiaotian laughed after hearing this.
"Are you sure that only the two of you can cause substantial damage to this thing?"
