Chapter 681

"It's a big joke, because those mobs want to attack our fortress?" A greasy, fat man stuffed himself in a leather chair. While drinking wine, he said with a smile, it's just that this chair seems too narrow, so the fat man is not very comfortable. He sighed and said, "it's time to make another chair."

Another coquettish man shook his head and sighed, "it's nearly twenty years since I came to canon. You've changed at least five chairs. Dear commander, it seems that you have to pay attention to your weight. "

The man had long straight black hair and long hands and feet. The facial features are exquisite, so exquisite that they seem too perfect. Things that are too perfect sometimes look terrible, like this man. He looks like a machine without feelings. A man named Lei Ming. Essien has known him for a long time. During the construction of Kanon fortress that year, this man came to the fortress with an official document from the papal hall, in which he was designated as the commander of the sixth division of the order of knights, and the former commander had died in the battle of bloody road.

The thunder that came to Kanon fortress that day was just what it is now. Nearly 20 years later, this man is still like this. As if time had lost its effect on him, thunder's ability, appearance and even habit were in astonishing agreement. People who don't know Lei Ming may think it's nothing, and they don't have enough strength to understand him, so they probably think he's weird.

Only Essien, who is also the commander of the army, can understand the horror of this man. He is like a machine that will never make mistakes, maintaining terrible accuracy. Essien knows that even a person who is self disciplined. When you enlarge his life, you will find that there are always some subtle fluctuations. Or mood, or something. But since he knew thunder, his daily life can only be described as a machine.

Thunder will be there at any time of the day. He's not a second late, he's not a second early, he's just right. It reminded Essien of rumors about some secret experiments in the papal chamber. These experiments are classified among the secrets, and they are so important that if they are leaked, the pillar of faith in the papal chamber may disintegrate.

Because those experiments really violate some taboos in the canon.

The fact that thunder always returns to the papal hall in a few days in March every year reinforces Essien's conjecture in this respect.

On the surface, though, he went to the Islamic palace to report on his work. But for Essien himself, the quarterly report is nothing more than a long-distance communication. Only on Hanukkah, which is held once every three years, did the nearly ton Legion leader have to return to new Rome.

Difficult to move out of the chair, the overburdened chair in a groan scattered into a pile of parts. Essien sighed. "It's the sixth one now."

Leiming looked at him flatly and said quietly: "chief Essien, I think it is necessary to pay attention to the message conveyed by chief yafidi."

"Can you tell me how to attach importance to the law?"

Essien turned around in the command room, couldn't find a suitable chair, so he just sat down on the ground.

"Add sentry posts and repair equipment. If I remember correctly, your knight hasn't been in operation for nearly a year, I suggest you conduct a comprehensive inspection today in case of emergency. " Thunder gave several suggestions at one go, and finally said: "we have to send an elite reconnaissance team to the fracture bay to see if the pirates hit, it is the nearest landing point to us."

"All right, all right. But I still don't think it's necessary. Canon is not a soft farcero. Can a group of Pirates tear open the iron wall. If they really fight, it would be better. I've forgotten how long I haven't fought. " Said Essien excitedly, with a fat, red face. But with a gloomy face, he said: "but the round table Knight's inspection is free. Damn it, I don't know if I can squeeze into the cockpit now."

Thunder looked at his fat body, his eyes also showed a ray of worry. What worries him is not Essien's weight, but his fighting power. Too long a period of peace and alcohol, I'm afraid, has brought the head of the army down to the lowest benchmark. As for himself, what strength he was 20 years ago, and what strength he will be after 20 years. It doesn't decrease, but it doesn't increase.

From the perspective of time, it is not a good thing not to increase or decrease.

This day, Canon has not been so busy for a long time. The working slaves looked at the soldiers suspiciously. They started training in the square of the fortress, carrying the equipment that had been shelved in the warehouse for a long time. Usually, there is no such training, but it is rare to see several times in a month, and today is not the training day. If all the knights in the papal hall are pulled out of the military exercise, it will be found that the soldiers of Canon are fatter than those of other knights. I can't help it. Who makes Canon's life so good.

Other knights usually have to fight pirates or something, but no one without eyes will attack canon. So in the order of knights, to be a soldier in Canon is like a vacation. So Canon's soldiers are no different from Essien's. After a few years here, you'll see a lot of weight gain.But not many people have noticed that their physical strength, reaction, will and fighting instinct have decreased correspondingly.

When the soldiers of the knight order were training, the dusty artillery, anti-aircraft machine gun and other equipment on the wall of Canon finally had a chance to be renovated. But the thundering order was issued, and the repairable soldiers didn't seem to care so much. As they checked the weapons, they talked and laughed in a low voice, so something was missing from their eyes, and the soldiers didn't notice it at all.

The only one who works hard is probably the mechanic who checks two round table knights. After all, this is the seat frame of the two commanders of the armed forces. They have a clear idea of what can be dealt with carelessly and what must be spared no effort. In the end, no one believed that pirates would be so fearless to hit the iron plate of canon.

In the afternoon, a group of light trucks drove out of the fort and went along the Emerald Forest towards the fractured Bay. They are the guards under the command of leiming, with the standard of ordinary soldiers. More importantly, they are serious, careful and efficient. Even living in the comfortable environment of Canon, they have never lost the sharpness of the past.

For them, thunder is very relieved.

The motorcade is like a dagger. The cold metal light passes through the Green Emerald Forest, forming a sharp contrast. There are some wild animals living in the forest, most of which are harmless. However, the more powerful mutants died early under the development of blood stained road. In those days, the papal hall would have gone on without a war. We would have done our best in the first war. But the full strength meaning, is not defeats the opponent to be able to satisfy the matter. It usually means extermination. In the dark ages, there were at least ten thousand extinct species on the western continent.

Without the source, there will be no evolution and growth, which is also the reason why the alien and higher mutant beasts in the western continent almost disappeared.

It was a good thing that human beings were dominant at that time. At least most of the resources in the western continent are under the control of human beings, but from the perspective of the whole era, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Without competition, the west continent is like the fortress of Canon, and human evolution has slowed down. In a short period of time, we may not see anything, but if the time is in a hundred years. So today of Fort canon is tomorrow of the western continent.

Only few people will think about such long-term problems. Most human beings will only focus on the present, and few will look at the disadvantages that will take a hundred years. Living in this precarious era, you can see that ten years later, you can be called a wise man. If you can see through a hundred years, you are already a saint.

Unfortunately, there are countless mediocre, but few saints. Looking at the whole world, probably not many people will take such a long view.

At least Hoddle won't.

He is the captain of thunder's "lightning" guards. When he came to Canon fortress with thunder, he was only a 15-year-old boy. At that time, he was still ignorant, only with a cavity of blood to join the army. Because it has good potential, it has been cultivated by thunder. Now it's the number two in the sixth Legion under the thunder.

Already in his 356's, Hoddle has short white hair and a pair of flexible eyes on his square face. He is rigorous but flexible. During his service in Canon, Hodel was not in the fort for at least half a year. With thunder's approval, he continued to fight in front of various legions and participated in many activities against pirates.

Other legions also welcome such a power to reach the seventh level. Hoddle is only one step away from the higher level.

By sunset, Hoddle came to the Gulf of fracture.

This is a strange geographical environment.

The coastal trend of the western continent comes from west to East, which is a circle of coastline with gentle drop. But here, there is an n-shaped terrain. If we say that the mainland is not a regular cake, then the broken Bay is like a small corner of the cake that has been roughly torn, which is also the origin of the name of the bay.

The coastline of the continent extending eastward from farcero is not sandy beach or various shallow rocky beaches, but towering rock walls. The cliff is not only a natural dike on the outer edge of the continent, but also a barrier against the assault from the sea. Only when we come to the fault Bay, we will be able to sail inland a little because of this strange fault surface. Even the fortress Canon built a crude wharf here in the Bay, but the wharf had been out of use as early as ten years ago, and now there are only the remains of some facilities.

If the coastline continues to extend eastward, and then turns northward, a more gentle beach will gradually appear. Therefore, if pirates attack, there is no other way except landing in the broken Bay.

By the time the fleet arrived at the Bay, it was already dark. Hoddle and his team spent a night in the ruins of the Bay dock, and the next day began to search around the bay. They checked very carefully, but there was no sign of a large number of people landing in the Bay and dock. In terms of time, if the attack from farcero was just a pirate feint, then the main force would have arrived in the Gulf long ago.However, looking up at the sea, except for a few isolated islands, there are no traces of ships, let alone a huge fleet. Hodel frowned and reported the news to thunder. Then the guards stayed around for another night and returned to the fort the next morning.

"See, I said it was impossible." Essien was holding the bottle in one hand and sweeping the food in front of him in the other. The head's mouth is like a black hole, eating nearly a ton of food every day.

Thunder was still standing at the window, looking at the vast sea area on the other side of the fortress: "it's true that Hodel didn't find any pirates, but that doesn't mean we can relax. Chief Essien, I suggest that the previous order should continue, and that some people should be sent to the fractured Bay. We may have abandoned that dock for a long time, so we have to reconsider building it. "

"That's not good. The papal lords won't give us more money." Essien frowned.

Thunder looked at the food on his table. Essien shivered and then protested angrily: "I warn you, thunder, don't think about my food. This is the only joy of my life

"If you can cut the food supply in half, let alone just one dock, we've built ten." Thunder said without expression: "chief Essien, sometimes I suspect that what you eat is not food, but gold.". Piles of gold coins. "

Leaving this sentence, Lei Ming said that he would check the training of those soldiers. After he left, Essien frowned and said, "how can a guy like you understand my pain. No war, no women. If there is no more delicious food, I can hardly find the joy of life. Oh, forget it. Eat less today. "

Chief Essien did eat less today.

But that's all.

It's another night.

But tonight, the wild animals in the Emerald Forest can't be as calm as usual. At this time, they should go back to their nests to rest, but now, they are far away from their nests. And the direction that the wild animals are far away from is the position close to the fortress canon.

Half a kilometer from the edge of the forest, a group of night birds want to fly. Can just spread out the wings, but found that no matter how flapping the wings is unable to fly to the sky. Usually, the air without any resistance becomes as thick as a swamp, and the invisible force field binds these birds not far from the tree crown. Then another force field passed by the birds, and they all stopped their activities and fell down one by one.

The birds that fall on the soft ground have lost any life.

Countless shadows pass through the forest quietly, they are like a black undercurrent, flowing quietly in the forest. What undercurrent refers to is the fortress Canon in the dark.

Although it was late at night, canon was still on. In a golden pupil, you can even see the soldiers yawning in the sentinel on the high wall of the fortress. The owner of the pupil is zero, and behind zero is the Poseidon group that is not in Hodel's report!

In fact, they had already arrived. On the morning when Essien received the message from farcero, the Poseidon fleet quietly arrived at the broken Bay. However, the fleet did not stop. After leaving 3000 soldiers of Poseidon group, the fleet kept away from the sea area according to the order of zero. Zero sum Poseidon group swarmed into the Emerald Forest for the first time. Although the number of Poseidon group was large, the Emerald Forest was large enough. The vast primeval forest can hold more than 3000 people, while thunder's guards, though elite, have no strength to inspect the whole forest without leaking.

The Poseidon regiment even stayed in the forest for a day, until the thundering guards left, and then they moved to the fortress.

Now, Canon is in front of us, and it's like zero imagination. Defense is common.

"Follow the plan." Zero light way.

So Su came out of the crowd, and behind the destroyer, he quietly followed a team. There are only 70 or 80 people in this team, but they are all very powerful. It's like a long sharp sword tied in the scabbard. Although the sword hasn't come out of the scabbard, it has hidden its machine edge. This team is an ability group of Poseidon Trident with average combat power at level 6.

Under the cover of night, Trident quietly through the forest, quietly to the fort.

The weather is already in autumn. When autumn comes, will winter be far behind?

Although it's only autumn, it's already chilly at night, which makes a knight's uniform look a little thin. So a guard on the wall shrinks his neck. He yawns and calculates in his heart how long it will be before the shift.

The wall of Kanon fortress is 30 meters high and is arched, wrapping the main building behind. There are five towers on the wall from west to East. Each tower is equipped with two anti-aircraft machine guns and ten sentries. In addition, in other parts of the city, there are four big guns and several secret sentries. There is an inner wall behind the city wall, and there is a passage between the inner and outer walls.When necessary, this road called "between the dead" can deliberately open the city gate to let the enemy in, and then trap the enemy in between the dead, and annihilate the enemy with the firepower points on the internal and external walls. Naturally, in Canon's 20 years of peace, such a design was useless.

Behind the city wall is the square area, and there are several areas nearby, such as warehouse area, slave dormitories, barracks, command post and mecha warehouse. The buildings in each area seem to have no planning. In fact, the space between buildings is very limited. It makes the passageways in the fortress twisted. It's not surprising that people who are not familiar with the fortress will even get lost in this place without any road signs.

This design takes into account that once the enemy breaks through the inner and outer walls, the special environment here can be used to divide the enemy to the greatest extent. While reducing the enemy's impact, the leader of the fortress can turn the frontal battle into street battle.

This is Fort canon, a "city" designed entirely from the perspective of war.
