Chapter 294 The trump card must be hidden!
Dragon City, on the city wall.
"Brothers, nighttime is when Dragon City's defenses are weakest. Everyone must be on their toes!" Tie Nan said solemnly to his twelve teammates. "We must not let the City Lord down!"
After the expansion of Longcheng, not only were there insufficient manpower in the planting areas, but the city defense army was also short-handed.
After all, the city's defense force only numbered a little over a hundred.
But now, the city walls are on all four sides, each several kilometers long.
The two special operations teams, numbering in the dozens, were constantly on the go, running back and forth, exhausted every day.
If it weren't for a group of spirit beasts guarding the city, the hundred-odd men alone wouldn't have been able to defend it.
But... even spirit beasts need rest.
But now that Dragon City has expanded, the number of places that need to be defended has increased several times over.
There were more than a hundred of them, but only a third of them were on guard at night.
If someone attacks at night, it will be difficult for them, with only a few dozen men, to hold out.
"Captain, there's something going on down below! A lot of people are approaching!"
At that moment, a visual mutant warrior suddenly spoke.
Tie Nan looked in the direction the other person was pointing, and his expression changed slightly.
"Where did all these people come from? What are they doing here?" Tie Nan looked down and saw hundreds of people below, looking around at the feet of the Earth Dragon Turtle, seemingly searching for a way up the mountain.
Such an open and aboveboard search doesn't seem like something a sneaky thief would do.
After a moment's thought, Tie Nan first used a communication insect to notify the city lord's mansion.
"Let's go down and see who they are," Tie Nan said, leading a 12-person team and two Tier 6 Phoenix-tailed Chickens into the rising stone house.
He held a piece of yellowish-brown scale in his hand and communicated briefly with the earth dragon turtle.
"I just hope these people aren't thieves, so we don't have to fight," Iron Man thought to himself.
after all...
It's no wonder that over a hundred people were able to venture deep into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Once a battle breaks out, the city's defense forces, which are already small in number, will inevitably suffer significant losses.
At this moment, beneath the feet of the Earth Dragon Turtle.
"Strange, where is the path up the mountain?" The group searched for a long time but still couldn't find the way.
Even a sixth-tier captain like Black Horse would have to put in a lot of effort to climb such a high mountain.
"Captain, look!"
Suddenly, someone pointed to the ceiling and exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound and were shocked.
I saw...
Above everyone's heads, with the help of the faint green light, they could vaguely see a stone house of several hundred cubic meters rapidly descending, landing on the ground from a height of a thousand meters in just one or two minutes.
With a click, the stone house door slowly opened, and Tie Nan led his men out.
"There really is someone here! And they possess such supernatural abilities."
Upon seeing this, Black Horse, Danai, and the others all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Tie Nan stepped forward a short distance and asked warily.
Although he invited two sixth-tier phoenix-tailed chickens to help, he did not bring them with him.
Instead, they are kept hidden in the surrounding area, and if the opponent launches an attack, the pheasant will be the first to strike.
This is also what the city lord taught us: you must keep your trump cards hidden.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Black Horse bowed and apologized, then introduced himself: "We are the Wild Wolf Hunting Team. We stumbled into your territory because we were being chased by a murderer."
Dark Horse was stunned by the way Iron Man and the others made their entrance.
I just hope that the other party will consider that we are all human beings and not make things difficult for me.
After all, to be able to build up a force in the mountains and to have such methods, one must be extraordinary!
"Are you the Wild Wolf Hunting Team?" Upon hearing Black Horse's words, Iron Man carefully sized up the group, secretly relieved, and asked, "Is anyone injured? Would you like to go up and rest?"
He's now a sixth-tier expert, so his eyesight is pretty good.
It was immediately obvious that Black Horse and Danai were the strongest in the team.
However, both of these two strongest individuals were carrying a wounded person on their backs.
He had heard of this hunting team; he'd heard they were very loyal and righteous, and it seemed that was true.
"You're inviting us up? Really?" Black Horse asked excitedly.
Danai and the hunting team were pleasantly surprised; they hadn't expected the people here to be so easy to talk to.
In the past, most of the people I encountered were wary of each other and would never lend a helping hand.
"Of course, there are inns in my Dragon City that can accommodate guests. Would you like to stay there?" Tie Nan said with a friendly smile.
He was on night patrol today, and his wife, Yingzi, happened to be on night shift at the Longmen Inn.
If I can trick these people into going—no, I mean invite them up—it can even help my wife increase her sales performance.
"Yes! Yes!" Black Horse nodded repeatedly.
Normally, he would have remained calm, but now...
He was already getting impatient and wanted to go up and take a look.
Because, just as the group was talking, the green light above suddenly became stronger.
Even those at the foot of the mountain felt incredibly refreshed.
His two seriously injured brothers also fell into a deep sleep because they were too comfortable.
"Then let's hurry up and make it in time." Tie Nan looked up at the green light above his head, somewhat expectant. He then quickly returned to the elevator house and gestured for Hei Ma and the others to go inside.
Although, it can be bathed in the glow of the night every day.
But... just like that kind of thing, won't you get tired of doing it every day?
No way! Come every day, enjoy yourself every day!
"Thank you!" Black Horse carried the wounded man on his back, gently cushioned him, and hurried inside.
Danai and the others followed closely into the stone house, curiously looking around at everything.
"Second team, second team! How's the night?" At this moment, a green light suddenly flickered from the crystal ring on Tie Nan's ring finger, indicating that someone was sending him a telepathic message.
You can tell from the voice that it's Chen Long, the captain of Special Operations Team One.
Asking about the night's scenery is actually a coded message between the two. It's a question about whether anything has happened and whether they need support.
If so, notify the other party using a code word, and Special Forces Team One will immediately come to provide support.
"The sun is shining brightly tonight, and the sky is clear!" Iron Man said in a coded message to the ring.
The ring emitted a flickering light again before fading completely.
Once everyone was inside, Iron Man activated the scales.
The next second, the elevator stone house suddenly rose up.
Seeing Iron Man's series of actions, Black Horse and the others widened their eyes again.
This place is eerie in every way.
Black Horse was not a shallow person; he had heard of a kind of insect called a sound-transmitting insect.
But those little insects, which transmit messages today, won't be received until tomorrow; they're not particularly special.
But the people here are clearly transmitting audio in real time, which is terrifying!
"This must be... some kind of divine weapon or treasure with the ability to transmit sound, probably specifically for the city's defense forces to communicate." Black Horse stared at the crystal ring on Iron Man's finger, guessing in his heart.
He had heard that some master blacksmiths could use materials from ferocious beasts to forge special treasures.
There are probably only a few such precious treasures in Dragon City.
However, before he could figure out the key point, the rising stone house had already arrived at its destination.
As soon as the group stepped out of the rising stone house, they all closed their eyes and began to enjoy themselves.
"So comfortable!" At the same time, all the hunting team members exclaimed.
Bathing in the glow of the night is like being in your mother's arms—warm, comfortable, and unforgettable.
Upon arriving at the Weapon Disarming Pavilion, Tie Nan said, "Before entering Dragon City, please put down your weapons at the Weapon Disarming Pavilion! Don't worry, Dragon City is very safe, and no one here will attack you."
As he spoke, he pointed to the stone tablet beside him.
Black Horse looked in the direction the other person was pointing and was somewhat surprised by the punishment shown above.
This place even has so-called punishments that existed only in ancient times.
You have to understand that in the wasteland world, there are no rules at all; whoever is stronger is right!
The various factions were constantly fighting and killing each other, doing whatever they pleased.
Previously, the dark horse would have hesitated about whether to lay down its weapon.
After all, in the wilderness, weapons are one's second life.
But now...
"Put down your weapons!" Black Horse waved his hand, gesturing to Danai and the others.
Danai and the others were surprised by their captain's compromise, but they still obediently handed over their weapons.
Upon seeing this, Tie Nan waved his hand, and the stone gate slowly rose.
"Is this... a city built on a mountain?" As soon as they entered Dragon City, Black Horse and the others stared wide-eyed, looking at everything in disbelief.
"The City of Ten Thousand Beasts actually has such a magical city, why has no one ever heard of it?"
"Yes! Every brick, every tile, every blade of grass and every tree here is a work of art!"
At this moment, they were bathing in the glow of the night sky while looking around.
Tsk amazed.
