[Territory Announcement: Due to the sudden attack of the dwarves, Qinggang City is temporarily designated as a high-risk area. All residents are strictly prohibited from entering the city. Those who are active in the vicinity should return to the territory as soon as possible to avoid danger! 】
The sky gradually turns white.
Chen Shen, who was awakened by the noise outside, immediately edited an announcement and posted it on the channel after learning what happened that night.
Although the army of dwarves failed to break through the security wall of the territory, it did not even cause a trace of substantial damage.
But there is no doubt that the threat they pose is still deadly enough.
Moreover, this battle once again exposed the loopholes in the city defense and the immaturity of the guards.
Obviously, the total number of guards is actually more than the number of dwarves chasing, but in the early stage, they couldn't even form a decent defense, and they were in a mess.
The real actual combat exercise must be carried out!
The number of casualties that may occur is certainly worrying, but the residents of the territory cannot always leave their lives to luck.
They are willing to use part of the salary as the salary of the full-time guards and Tianyuan fighters, because they want to see that no enemy can easily break into the territory, instead of waiting for the lord or allies to come to the rescue every time. .
Of course, Chen Shen still doesn't know about the battle that took place in front of the Clear Harbor Sanctuary.
If he saw the 30-meter-tall giant monitor lizard with his own eyes, and felt the awe that was completely beyond manpower, maybe he would let go of such a radical idea and come up with another development plan to save the country with curves.
However, Su Mo finally chose to keep this matter in his heart for the time being, and made it clear to Liehu not to reveal it for the time being.
The road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite.
If you run fast, you will fall easily, and if you eat too fast, you will choke.
After the huge loss in this battle, the dwarves should not dare to make any other moves to provoke them in the near future.
Perhaps this fiasco will give birth to their research on force fields and speed up the iteration speed of old technologies.
But at least the next time they come, the guards on the city wall won't use wooden bows to fight the enemy again!
The battle in the city was over, and the siege in front of the security wall did not last long.
Bucket after bucket of hot water was enthusiastically brought up, and the dwarves in the front row were burned to pieces.
They persisted until the last moment of the enchantment, and when they realized that the white shield was crumbling, and there was still no news of reinforcements coming in the distance, they decisively chose to surrender.
A total of ninety-two dwarves survived.
One captain and two vice captains.
Without the help of the game's translator, the guards couldn't understand what the dwarfs were saying, so they could only express their positions with simple hand gestures, and then sent them all to the dungeon of the outpost camp.
Although it was only half built there, it was not a problem to imprison some dwarves who were found naked.
"Hey, these dwarves are really brainless, such a powerful weapon can be beaten like this."
"According to me, if their attack method is an ambush, it will be impossible to defend against."
"You want to talk about tunnel warfare, right? I think if the territory can train a group of dwarven special forces, those gophers hiding underground will have a headache."
"Can you subdue them? I look at these little guys as if they are quite dissatisfied."
"Why are you in a hurry, take your time, I see that there are people on the World Channel following the Beast Tamer route."
"A dwarf is also a beast?"
After returning to the city wall with a large amount of loot, they drank warm corn and vegetable porridge.
The guards were chattering, discussing the battle tonight, which is not a battle, to alleviate the negative effects of the previous excessive adrenaline secretion.
While no one was satisfied with their night's performance, they were all convinced that the next fight could be even better.
And the other side.
After discussing the details of the next cooperation with Liehu, and then went to communicate with Aldrich and Kevin, Sumo continued to go to the Pumpkin Bunker in the airship.
Right now, a big problem is solved.
What can be brought is another trouble that may go to more extremes.
Liehu felt at a loss what to do about this, and could only use constant sighs to prove what kind of trouble the Western Suburbs League would encounter next.
It's not that he regrets why he joined the alliance in the first place, but that he is extremely dissatisfied with his own strength.
There are no guns, cannons, or tanks.
With only cold weapons left in the Pingtan Refuge, it is not too much to say that it has returned to the primitive era of ruthlessness and blood drinking.
And the opponent.
Facing such an unheard of monster, they were able to win easily, even without paying any price that could be put on the table.
The gap is too obvious, even though Liehu is constantly comforting himself, he still shows his mood and thoughts on his face.
As for the old guy Aldridge.
Well, this idiot really chose to pretend to be dead, which is what he is best at. Although he didn't show any intention of defecting from the alliance immediately and returning to Sunshine Harbor Sanctuary, seeing how he completely knows nothing, don't let him What am I doing.
Liehu didn't want to say more, and Su Mo didn't bother to communicate with him.
It is enough to provide the shelter with a market to digest the excess supplies. When the Western Suburbs Alliance has a firm foothold in the city, this old guy will naturally pay the price for his ignorance.
Before that, there is no need to think about what help he can bring to the future.
It's the manager of the Horsens Refuge, Kevin.
The family inheritor once again showed that he is not rigid in thinking, and stands firmly on the side of the alliance.
And provided a very constructive comment.
"If Hades wants to hold a meeting and force us all to join the Clear Harbor Refuge, or use other methods of coercion and lure to make our refuge residents become the lowest level of the city and live a life as precarious as the homeless."
"Then let's pretend to promise them first, and take the supplies and flee directly after the meeting is over!"
"When this disaster is over, or when we can use guns again, come back to this city, back to our sanctuary!"
escape?
No shame!
What's shameful is knowing that one's own strength is not enough, and one has to fight to the death with the opponent, which finally leads to the end of all those who are willing to believe in oneself.
What the Clear Harbor Refuge displayed tonight was not enough to completely overwhelm the battlefield, but adopted almost opportunistic biological means.
Liehu's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this suggestion, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he didn't even go to the pumpkin bunker.
"I'll go back and prepare first, you can just remind them over there in the bunker."
"Anyway, I don't believe that a person who can lock himself in a cage would be willing to take the initiative to escape before seeing a life-threatening crisis."
All right.
It sounds like it is.
The two refuges in the city need to find a way to move quickly. The Tianyuan Territory is still a long way from the northern suburbs, so there is no need to rush to prepare before the other party makes a move.
Su Mo rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.
The cool morning wind couldn't calm him down completely, and his mind was still full of the scene in front of the Lightning Wall.
It's a pity that it's useless to be anxious, the cards in his hand are indeed too few now.
A power stone bomb that is not even a semi-finished product will only add 10% of the chips on the negotiating table at most.
Coupled with some miscellaneous means, and with two allies, the final chance of winning should be around 30%.
Of course, if the opponent chooses to fight in Tianyuan Territory.
With the support of the system, this chance of winning will rise to 50%, but there is still no possibility of an easy win.
"It's useless to be anxious. You have to understand what kind of person Hades is before you can make the next decision."
Look at the bunker that appears in view.
Su Mo exhaled lightly, and pressed the communicator on his waist.
underground shelter.
Katerina was woken up in her sleep by the alarm sound from above.
As the only means of notification, this kind of alarm that can be transmitted directly to the shelter can only be used three times.
After use, the sound waves above will only be transmitted through the only communication device. If you choose to disconnect again, all contact between the ground and the ground will be completely lost!
"What's the matter? It's only six o'clock. Could it be that the gopher guy from the southern suburbs is calling?"
Katerina climbed to the monitor with a pale face, got through the connection, and saw the guard captain Nat who was looking anxious.
But before it was Nat's turn to answer, a familiar voice came from beside him.
"It's not them, it's Hades who woke up from his slumber."
"What?!"
Katerina tried her best to make herself less panicked on the screen, but her bloodless face and trembling lips still betrayed the turmoil in her heart at this moment.
Su Mo, who walked to the communication screen, glanced twice, and continued to ask in surprise.
"What's wrong? Are you unwell?"
"It's just that, probably, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
Katerina raised her eyebrows, and the little drowsiness that remained disappeared without a trace.
"How could Hades wake up from a slumber? I mean that every slumber has the probability of encountering risks, just like myopia surgery. Although it is already a very mature technology, there are still certain risks." Probability makes users pay an unaffordable price."
"If you want to see what's going on, Nat, come on, hold it up to her."
Su Mo shrugged, remembering Liehu's words, he was a little too lazy to continue wasting his tongue.
Every patrol airship from the academy has a combat recorder, which can store nearly three hundred hours of video files.
After the battlefield recording mode is turned on, it will actively rotate the angle to record more detailed videos and save them.
When Bernie, who surrendered, was interrogated before, he used this thing to prove his "innocence".
Su Mo didn't forget to turn on the record last night, and naturally recorded all the battles that broke out at the Lightning Wall.
The dismantled small tablet played the video, from the very beginning the dwarf army supported the force field and aggressively attacked the city wall.
In the follow-up, the heavy tank monitor lizard broke through the city wall with all its strength, and it seemed that it could win the victory.
When the screen turned again, the dwarves began to fight each other, and finally the Qinggang soldiers won the battle without bloodshed.
Keep your eyes on the soldier in the chemical protective suit who finally appeared on the screen.
Katerina took a deep breath, waved her hands hesitantly and helplessly.
"What did you find? My big doctorate in biology?"
"Doctor?" Katerina shook her head: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why those lizards will kill each other in the end should be that someone helped them turn on the gene sequence, but because the way to turn it on was too violent and not targeted. Sequence optimization caused them to lose their minds."
gene sequence?
Katerina really understands this?
Or is the biological inhibitor not an isolated case, but a technology already developed by the academy?
Su Mo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly continued to ask.
"Is this the technology of the academy?"
Katerina took a deep breath, nodded hesitantly.
"Yes, gene sequence is an independent research direction in the college, and a total of six top professors are leading people to study it."
"And Hades, his former professor, is one of these six."
For a more detailed story, Katerina, whose mood has fallen to the bottom at the moment, is not interested in telling it.
She changed her voice and said directly: "The thing you saw is one of the works that Professor Hades is studying. When Hades was dismissed by the academy, he was responsible for the perfection of this work. .”
"It's not surprising that he was able to bring this technology out of the academy. What's surprising is that he used it in the war."
"I once heard that the college has sent people to warn Hades that it will never allow the use of gene sequence technology to affect local wars, or continue research without permission to start human experiments. Otherwise, the college will directly launch the Trinity attack after discovering , Erase the entire Qinggang City from the Blue Star map."
"It's different now, the academy doesn't know where to go."
Su Mo shook his head and said.
"If you want me to send this video to the academy to report, then I'd be very happy to get rid of the uneasy neighbors in the Clear Harbor Shelter, and even the annoying group of gophers in the city Clean it up too."
"But what if the academy didn't come, or the holy city of Bokeluo is still in your blue star?"
"I have no idea."
Katerina was even more hesitant, with a confused expression on her face.
"I don't study gene sequences, but I have also heard that once evolution is started, it is absolutely impossible to stop halfway. If you want to stop passively, either the potential of the evolutionary has reached the end, and you will stop if you have no progress, or Evolvers cannot afford the price and end up self-destructing like these lizards."
"Does that mean we have to catch him without a fight?" Su Mo spread his hands and coughed lightly: "To be honest, we were still discussing before we came here. Since there is no way to deal with it, we might as well just run away."
"And my refuge is already outside the city, so it's easy to walk."
"Let's go?" Katerina's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bit of life suddenly glowed in her dead face: "If you want to go, can you take me with you!"
"I will help you with the research task as agreed, and it will be regarded as paying in advance for finding the academy!"
