Bulwark of Light

Chapter 191
Beizhou.

Küborg Fortress.

In the severe cold weather, the wind and snow are fluttering. From a distance, a steel barrier stretches for several kilometers, rising from the ground, guarding the majestic Beizhou border like a giant, and a sky-covering barrier is erected above the huge fortress. , the hexagonal prism-shaped transparent floating boards like a honeycomb are densely assembled to form the hat on the giant's head.

It may not be appropriate to describe it as a "hat"...it is more like a "big umbrella".

Under the big umbrella, there are hundreds of airships hovering. Due to some kind of wonderful "energy effect", they hang quietly at a distance of 9000 meters above the Fortress of Gubao. The turbines seem to be dormant, not running, but streamlined The sword-like airship can miraculously remain stagnant, without emitting a single jet from the tail, and the heat wave is like a handful of old-fashioned ancient shuttles placed on a loom, only waiting for the moment when the master launches the command.

Gubao Fortress is the most forward in the trench arc of Beizhou, and it is the highest point of that curved arch. The distance of that big umbrella is the barren and broken "black spot".

Except for the soldiers of the northern fortress, no one will be able to reach here.

This is the boundary line between the "five continents" and the "world", and it is also the place where the last hope of mankind is defended.

And if you don't personally garrison the fortress... you won't know what kind of garrison pressure the Gubao Fortress is facing. The black collapse point expands into a black hole outside the big umbrella, and there is a vague tendency to connect with each other. In the "outside" where order collapses, From time to time there will be out-of-control creatures corrupted by "black spots", extraordinary beings.

It's the end of the year again.

Gubao Fortress is rarely peaceful, because the spread of black spots outside the big umbrella has slowed down, it is very peaceful throughout the year... So this year's fortress makes people feel the warmth that has not been seen for a long time.

A not tall figure stood inside the fortress, on top of a tower that had been built for a long time. This was considered to be the highest point with the best view. The heavy snow fell on the shoulder emblem of his military uniform.

Seen from behind, this figure is very vicissitudes of life.

But in fact...he is not very old, and under the big-brimmed hat is a young face. While quietly admiring the snow, while holding the rope, there is a low humming sound immediately beside him.

It was a disembodied energy rope, crackling and vibrating with purple thunder. On the other end of the rope was tied a simple-looking Labrador "vicious dog", with ferocious fangs but sticking out its tongue, rubbing its head against the young man's face. The calf is full of flattery.

The quiet snow viewing didn't last long.

"laugh--"

There was the scorching sound of steam spurting from behind the young man, and then two figures descended. They were two young "sentinels" of standard build, a man and a woman, with respectful voices.

"Under the Brigadier General."

This man and a woman are wearing a pair of dark red armor. From a distance, they look like a pair of delicate bones that fit outside the contours of the human body, but there are obvious blowouts on the tailbone, forearm, and crotch. hole.

The technology of external armor has long been researched and developed in the fortress... From the initial clumsiness, it has evolved little by little, and now it has developed into a very practical actual combat technology. Wearing this layer of armor can not only carry out strength It can also perform short-distance "trek", "fly" and "diving".

This thin layer of armor is a powerful fortress on the fragile human body.

Of course... a strong enough person does not need this armor.

"Grand Duke Zhuxue hopes that you can return to the Fortress. The three-year term of the Gubao Fortress has ended... The cabinet will send a new garrison to replace Her Majesty the Queen..."

After the five continents were connected by the deep sea, the federation was unprecedentedly cohesive. However... due to the independence of the five continents, each continent has a relatively unique cultural influence.

Due to the unique geographical environment and heavy responsibilities, Beizhou has the most unique "power system"...so words such as "Queen" and "Grand Duke" that are dusty in the dictionary can only be heard in Beizhou Fortress arrive.

The sentry's voice froze suddenly.

Because the young man with the dog raised his hand.

The incorporeal dog chain was loosened by him, crackling lightning lightly exploded in the air, the moment the dog chain was released, the eyes of the two young sentinels were obviously a little flustered, they knew very well that this time they were coming. What kind of scumbag is the target of the report and request of the Fortress Fortress? The decree to return to the "Fortress City" has arrived here more than once, and the results of all previous reports have returned in vain.

Of course...they were vague and unwilling to elaborate on the details of what happened in the middle.

The moment the leash came off—

The honest and harmless Labrador rushed forward suddenly, revealing its fierce face in an instant.

"Bang! Bang!"

The jet holes attached to the armor blasted two deep scorched black holes in the snow layer on the roof of the tower. The two sentries quickly hung high in the air, but they were not harmed... because the young brigadier general let go and shot again. Holding the rope tightly in the air, after the flash of lightning, the vicious dog swooped for a certain distance and was pulled back again, flung to the ground, dragging its head deafly, and returned to its owner's side in desperation.

The two sentinels from the forward city were still in shock.

The moment the rope was loosened, a huge pressure surged like a sea tide, and the outer armor seemed to let out a scream of being overwhelmed, and it almost didn't take off and hang in the air.

It's hard to imagine the source of all the stress, just a... dog.

Is that really a dog?
"Lin Lin's subordinates...we have no intention of offending..." The sentry bit the bullet and apologized, but he really didn't dare to fall back to where he was.

Lin Lin led the dog, looked up at the two figures in the air, smiled softly and waved, "You two are lucky, do you know why?"

"There are always four or five such 'visits' every year, but those guys always visit me in the attic in the fortress. The attic has always been very quiet, and there is a good custom of closing the door, so I will let it go after closing the door." Dogs, they have nowhere to go, I'm curious what they will say to you when they return to Advance City?"

Lin Lin looked at the strange faces of the two sentinels, and said calmly, "Or...don't say anything?"

It seems so.

"Do you know why your beloved Grand Duke Zhuxue never came to see me in Gubao Fortress in person?" Lin Lin said calmly, "Because he didn't dare, because he also knew...the reason for calling me back to Qianjin City was nothing more than a few things. Either go to Central Continent for further study, go to West Continent to make friends with Guangming City, or go to Nagano City to meet future cooperative allies. As a man of destiny who sheds royal blood in the north, as long as I return to Qianjin City, I will become the leader of the North The glory of the fortress, so he thinks... the significance of doing these things is greater than the significance of stationing the castle fortress himself."

The two young sentinels listened carefully, and their expressions gradually became dignified.

"So... what do you think?"

The sudden question stunned both of them, and they looked at each other... I didn't expect that the brigadier general would ask such a question suddenly.

They came here following the orders of Grand Duke Zhuxue.

Should have embraced unconditionally.

But the words came to my lips...but I couldn't get them out.

But even if they were born in Qianjin City and received systematic education since they were young, they still yearn to go to the front of the fortress and sign a confidentiality agreement in the north to know the truth of the world. Filling the ever-expanding black hole with their flesh and blood, if this could ease the pressure on the border fortress a little, they would do so without hesitation.

Moths to the fire.

so what?

The soldiers of the fortress have always been like this.

"My subordinate...I respect you."

The female sentinel slowly landed on the roof of the tower. She carefully stared at the rope in Lin Lin's hand, and then gave her answer sincerely: "It is indeed a kind of luck to have you in Gubao Fortress."

The male sentinel also sighed, "If you refuse...we will return to Qianjin City the same way. The Grand Duke will be very disappointed."

"If the forward city needs me, my sister will ask."

Lin Lin said: "At that time, Mr. Zhu Xue will go here in person. I will choose to leave with him."

After saying these words, a piece of shattered snow that fell on his shoulder suddenly shattered.

This is an irregular fragmentation.

If someone is able to freeze time, they will find that... after this small shattered snowflake exploded, it spread into countless pieces of fine snow flakes, as if forming a circular arc, delineating the sky above the tower. set a limit.

The pupils of the two sentinels shrank.

They sensed something was wrong, and then wanted to drive the external armor into the sky, but this time there was a muffled humming from the jet hole... It wasn't because of insufficient energy, but because of a strong will shrouded in the tower.

Flying, liftoff, and hovering are prohibited.

Start with that flake of snow.

Countless snowflakes falling into the field accelerated their fall, without any external force, and there was no strong pressure, but after this order took effect silently, this field no longer had any "living beings" and "dead".

"Then... I will trouble you both to go back the same way." Lin Lin said softly: "Before leaving, the two of you still have no experience in the traditional project of sending sentries in the forward city. Greetings."

"Just say... Niu Niu misses him very much."

Niu Niu... This is a very simple-sounding name.

Just like this squatting "Labrador Retriever Dog".

Lin Lin let go of the rope in his hand.

next moment.

A streak of purple lightning flashed by—

The two sentries tried desperately to drive the jet device attached to the armor, but under the strong will to forbid the air, the armor gushed out bursts of black smoke, apparently completely collapsed, and the next moment they were thrown down by purple lightning.

The Labrador vicious opened its big mouth with ferocious fangs——

Lin Lin couldn't bear to look back, he jumped lightly and fell from the tower, splashing a puddle of broken snow.

More and more people on the five continents have awakened supernatural abilities... But there are still very few awakened supernatural beings. This Labrador "vicious dog" is one of the rare ones.

In the absence of a rope... Niu Niu has a quirk.

"what--"

The male sentinel who was thrown to the ground by the big dog let out a desperate cry. He felt a huge tongue scratching his face back and forth. It was fierce, as if it was about to swallow itself severely.

That big, slippery tongue retracted its barbs... It was obvious that the big dog had no malicious intentions.

He just wanted to lick himself.

But the strength of this "licking"...is too great!

His head was almost licked off!

The female sentinel sat on the ground, her pretty face turned pale with fright when she saw this scene.

After licking this one, it's the next one's turn...

……

……

Lin Lin, who fell from the tower, just stood up, and suddenly frowned...

There was a strong sense of impact between his brows.

"Is there another emergency meeting?"

No.

This feeling is completely different from holding an emergency meeting.

It was an incomparable...absorbing force, instantly bursting out in one's own spiritual ocean.

The usual emergency meeting... is the summons.

And this moment.

It is call.

Lin Lin looked a little pale. He walked quickly towards the quiet pavilion where he was resting, and at the same time blew an extremely loud whistle. After hearing the sound, the Labrador in the distance rushed towards the direction of the sound without hesitation, stepped on The vertical stone wall of the tower swooped down and returned to the owner in three to five seconds.

The forbidden air field on the top of the tower was instantly revoked.

The female Sentinel sitting slumped on the ground was still in a state of shock.

She finally saw today... What are the painful experiences that those seniors who returned to Qianjin City were unwilling to talk about.

I am very likely to be the only "survivor".

The male sentinel, wrapped in saliva and mucus, struggled to sit up, wiped the mucus on his face vigorously, and hissed with difficulty: "Before I set off, a senior reminded me that Grand Duke Zhu Xue sent the brigadier general this villain in the early years. When dogs...haven't been domesticated..."

Therefore, the Brigadier General's subordinates are so concerned about the personal invitation of "Grand Duke Zhuxue"...

The female sentinel looked stunned, as if she understood something.

"No! The task is not completed yet, and we just go back to Qianjin City, what should others think of us?" He clenched his fists, unwilling to say: "It's already like this, how can we give up?"

After speaking, he looked at his companion.

The female sentinel gritted her teeth and said, "The subordinate has returned to the attic...Are you sure you want to do it again?"

Painful memories of being suppressed by that vicious dog flooded into his mind instantly. The one who proposed only felt a sour taste in his nose and mouth. He could not help retching for a while, and finally squeezed out a drop full of unwillingness. Painful, tears of remorse, gritted his teeth, "It's probably useless to do it again. We can only endure the humiliation and report to the Grand Duke on the return journey."

"……I agree."

……

……

Outside the attic door.

A Labrador vicious dog was lying cross-legged. It wisely didn't follow its owner back into the room, but stood guard at the door. At this moment, its deaf ears were raised slightly, and the dog's face was a bit strange.

"boom--"

An invisible sonic boom sounded in the room.

The moment he returned to the attic, Lin Lin clenched his fists, and an invisible layer of restriction suddenly spread.

A small field spread out, wrapping this quiet room completely independently, and after ensuring safety...he tried his best to resist the impact of the omen in his mind.

The previous emergency meeting was like a reminder in the spiritual ocean.

Participate if you can.

Can't participate...that's fine.

But this time, it's different.

The strong sense of oppression is forcing myself to establish a spiritual connection every moment... Hurry up, hurry up!
He tried desperately to say no.

But... in the end it still failed!
"Boom" sound.

It was as if a bomb had exploded in his mind. Lin Lin didn't feel pain, but felt an unprecedented liberation. He opened his eyes and found himself sitting on the side of the long table, his eyes were filled with the dim, scarlet lights of the conference room.

This time...almost all the seats were full of people, but the faces were still dark, and everyone was still hiding their identities from each other. No one knew who was sitting opposite the long table.

Not just myself.

Everyone's will is forcibly called at this moment, no matter whether their time zone is day or night, no matter how far their consciousness is from this sea area.

It's like an ancient emperor summoning his courtiers.

a long distance away.

I also want to see you.

"This is……"

Lin Lin subconsciously looked at the first seat in this closed spiritual conference room——

All eyes are looking at one place.

At the head and end of the empty long table, there was originally a tight and seamless wall... But at this moment, a portal slowly emerged on the wall, and countless ancient talismans and characters appeared on the edge of the portal, changing and intertwining .

And this moment.

When the key rang to open the door.

In this closed and locked "meeting room", a ray of light appeared.

It was a teenager.

A young man who is not tall and looks a little thin.
