Chapter 1223 The end of night (please vote for the big chapter)
"Captain,"
The young soldier quickly walked to the gray uniformed officer and said quickly, "There is news from the front line that we have broken through the enemy's first line of defense in front of the North Gate, and have seen the enemy's defense facilities built at the North Gate. ”
"How long did it take?"
The gray uniformed officer lowered his head and asked hoarsely.
"Total..."
The soldier was slightly stunned. He lowered his head, glanced at the bracelet, and after a brief pause, said, "Twenty-three minutes."
"In twenty-three minutes, only the first peripheral defense was breached."
The gray uniformed officer said slowly.
"According to the battle reports from the front line,"
The soldier immediately explained, "The enemy's resistance is very tenacious, even fearless of death, which has caused us many obstacles that are far beyond our expectations."
Having said this, he paused and continued, "And the enemy seems to have mastered some kind of special terrifying technique, which can cover the battlefield in a short time and revive seriously injured people."
His voice gradually became smaller, "When the soldiers on the front line saw this scene, their mentality was a little affected. Some soldiers became timid and believed that the enemy had the help of gods and that we could not defeat it.
"Seeing on the battlefield that the enemy you just nearly killed is jumping to life again has a great impact on the soldiers."
"I saw it,"
The officer in gray uniform said calmly, "It's just a superficial trick of the Life Church. His release is limited, otherwise he wouldn't wait until the end to use it. His coverage is also limited and cannot cover all battlefields.
"Don't worry about this ability. If the other side is really blessed by gods, then the war will be completely over when it just begins."
He stared at the fire at the top of the mountain and said, "Notify the whole army, don't be stingy with ammunition, attack with all your strength, at all costs, we must pass through the gate of the North Kingdom before dawn."
"yes!"
The soldier immediately stood up straight and performed a military salute.
——
Gate to the North
"What did you just do..."
Standing in the narrow canyon, with his back to the newly built city wall, he stared at He Ao with wide eyes.
"Just a few battlefield tips."
He Ao glanced at the wilderness wanderers who were also crowded in around him.
Fat men and skinny men were wandering among these wilderness wanderers, calming their frightened state.
He Ao did not completely restore them to health, but only healed their more serious injuries and allowed them to regain most of their mobility.
This is partly because it takes longer to heal to a perfect state than superficial treatment, and partly because his energy is indeed not enough.
The ability of 'Saint Grace of Life' in Pate can directly attract the attention of the goddess of life.
The actual effect is to heal a single or multiple designated targets through large-scale sacrifices. As long as the sacrifices are sufficient, the healing ability can be increased to a level close to that of a disabled angel.
Of course, this ability will consume Pate's own energy. The stronger the effect of the ability, the faster Pate's body will collapse.
After the system's 'Character Card' function turned it into a redeemable character ability, although this ability is still a healing ability, there have been some changes.
The damage it does to the user's body is greatly reduced, but it has an extra 'charge time'.
After exchanging abilities, He Ao can 'accumulate' life force in his body through killing and sacrifice.
It seemed like a 'ritual', but there was no obvious trace of divine involvement.
Only after these 'life forces' reach a critical value can they be directly released to treat outsiders.
After one release, these life forces will be emptied and then start to accumulate energy again.
He Ao estimated that when he maximized the efficiency, the energy storage time would be close to half an hour.
During the process of energy storage, if He Ao's body is injured, the life force can also be used to repair his own damage, but the energy storage time will be further extended.
He Ao used an exchange star to exchange for three hours of use of this ability. If the full amount is used, it can only be used six times.
And He Ao also estimated that each critical value of 'energy storage' can probably cure a transcendent who is far beyond the ordinary B-level, or many ordinary people.
After reaching the critical value, the energy storage is not over, but the speed becomes very slow and very weak.
Of course, the detailed information on these abilities has not been ‘introduced’ and was figured out by He Ao in practice.
He also discovered another difference between the exchange ability and Pate's own ability.
That is, this exchange ability will not attract the attention of the goddess of life.
The energy storage process will not attract the power of the gods at all. The moment of release will attract a little of the power of the gods, but it will not attract the attention of the gods.
In other words, after the systematic 'exchange', although this ability has been weakened to a certain extent, it has also filtered out the occult connections with gods.
Nel's previous 'Trespassing God' was because the God of War was dead and there was no threat, so He Ao did not notice such an obvious difference.
There are gains and losses.
"Is this... a little trick?"
At this time, after hearing He Ao's words, Shia turned her head and glanced at the wilderness wanderers not far away, opened her mouth slightly, and seemed to have lost the ability to speak for a while.
"Sir,"
While the two were talking, Ori, holding a tablet, also came over and saluted He Ao, "Sorry, I'm a little late."
The temporary fortress that was originally planned to be completed in half an hour actually took them more than 40 minutes to complete.
Fortunately, the optical camouflage device also worked hard until everything was over.
"You have done a good job."
He Ao patted Ori on the shoulder.
Most of the time, things don't go according to people's wishes.
"Sir,"
Ori paused, then said slowly, "Most of the equipment can be used normally, but there are some complex patterns in the plan, and we don't know how to..."
"Let me do it."
Hearing his words, He Ao nodded and walked forward quickly, "Take me to the center of those patterns."
He knew what Ori was talking about. When Eve planned this fortress at the beginning, he asked Eve to combine the magic circle obtained from the heart of the Everflow Tree with the fortress.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to resist the army outside with such a simple temporary fortress.
"The army outside is launching an attack."
At this time, a soldier standing behind the fortress turned his head and looked at the people behind him, "Those armored vehicles are coming up, and they are approaching us."
Ori was stunned and looked up at He Ao.
"Xia is responsible for organizing the defense, you take me to the center of the pattern first."
He Ao said quickly with a calm face.
"Okay!"
Xia nodded heavily.
"Yes!"
Ori immediately stood up straight, turned around and took He Ao to the depths of the canyon.
——
The shining thunder streaked across the sky, and the violent waves hit the cliffs.
The soldiers with rain on their bodies walked out of the narrow stone beach, raised their heads, and looked at the vast plains in front of them under the night sky, as if they had walked from hell to heaven, and their whole bodies were relaxed.
The fine sea water hit the shore, splashing water droplets and falling on his cheeks.
He turned his head and looked behind him.
The dense army with flashing lights was slowly driving out of the narrow rocky beach along the road he had just walked.
Boom——
Just at this moment, a huge and soft tentacle stretched out from the sea, directly rolled up an armored vehicle, and sank into the violent sea with the soldiers on the armored vehicle almost instantly.
The soldiers behind seemed not to see all this, and an armored vehicle quickly accelerated, filling the position of the vacant armored vehicle just now, and quickly drove out of the rocky beach.
"Don't stand there, keep moving forward."
Just at this moment, a loud reprimand came from behind.
The soldier froze, retracted his gaze, raised his feet, and continued to move forward.
He looked up at the endless night ahead and the vast plain under the night.
It seemed to be the south, and they had been heading south all the time.
The dim stars illuminated the sky, and the dense soldiers and armored vehicles gathered into a dark torrent, slowly flowing south along the vast plain.
——
In front of the Palace of Glory in Dawn City
The glorious city was as quiet as ever, with a slight cool breeze blowing on everyone's cheeks.
Before dawn, scattered people had already slowly gathered on the street.
Most of them wore thick and warm clothes, holding potato chips or snacks in their hands, and carrying picnic mats or tents.
As most people found their own positions, some people began to touch the banner printed with "Christos, step down".
The guards at the gate of the palace looked at these people calmly, frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Some guards naturally dispersed, surrounded these people slightly, and set up a cordon around them.
This is to prevent passing vehicles from accidentally driving to the edge of the street and injuring the people sitting here.
"K--"
Just at this time, the soldier on the outermost side saw a man in a coat walking over in the dark. He opened his mouth slightly and was about to shout, but saw that the figure raised his hand to signal him to be quiet.
And at the edge of the street, the sparse crowds also slowly sat down.
Several men with tattoos and fierce looks followed the crowd and stopped at the back of the crowd.
They had no picnic mats or food, so they could only sit at the end of the team on the ground.
The people in front didn't seem to want to pay attention to them, and they gathered in groups of three or four to talk, as if they didn't exist.
These men also had their own circles, boasting to each other, their voices were rough and unrestrained, often causing the people in front to look back.
Among all the people, only a young man in the corner raised his head and supported his head.
He sat with those tattooed men, but he didn't seem to have his own companions, so he could only be in a daze there alone.
"What are you looking at?"
At this time, a soft question suddenly came from his side.
"Huh?"
The young man was slightly stunned and saw a figure wearing a big fur coat sitting beside him. The dim shadows on the green trees beside him covered the figure's cheeks so that he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
The figure looked up with him in the direction of the end of his sight, which was in front of the magnificent palace.
There, stood a towering statue.
The statue of the first mayor of Dawn City.
The young man looked away. He didn't want to speak at first, but when he heard the chatter and laughter around him, it seemed as if a bird was tickling his heart. Finally, he said impatiently, "Why, you are the mayor's spy." Are you here to get information? "
"Aren't you afraid that I am really a spy and looking for someone to arrest you?"
The person next to him laughed.
"Farewell, then the mayor won't do it. Don't you see that there are so many people here and no one comes to arrest them?"
The young man shrugged the tip of his nose and chuckled, "He doesn't dare. Once he touches these protestors, he will be scolded on TV."
"It seems you know quite a lot."
The person next to him laughed.
"Before you come out to take over a job, you have to use your brain a little bit,"
He glanced at the tattooed men next to him, and then at the figure beside him, "You look like you've read a book, haven't you considered these issues?"
“Sometimes I consider it, sometimes I don’t.”
The figure beside him sighed slightly, "There are too many things to consider in this world, but sometimes I don't want to think about them."
"You talk so eloquently, it seems you have read a lot of books,"
The young man rolled his eyes, "You college students just like to talk nonsense to show how smart you are."
Hearing this, the person next to him laughed dumbly. He raised his head and glanced at the tattooed men not far away who were not talking to the boy. "It seems that you and your friends don't get along very well."
"They're so stupid,"
The young man pursed his lips and said, "It takes a lot of effort to talk to them. I'm too lazy to talk to them."
"If you dislike them so much, then why don't you go to school?"
The person next to me laughed and said, "Go to a good university and then find a decent job after graduation instead of sitting here."
"Tsk, that's what you said,"
The young man rolled his eyes again, "I don't want to go to school or go to university, is it because I don't want to? Look at the tens of thousands of yuan in tuition fees. Do you think everyone is the same as you? If your parents are rich, you can be rich as soon as you are born. Go to school well, dress well, look like a dog.”
What he said was a bit tricky, but the person next to him didn't seem angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Isn't there a low-interest student loan? You can definitely apply for a student loan."
"Are you saying that the repayment period will last longer than my life? Are you saying that the interest rate is low but the interest rate is ridiculously high?"
The young man snorted, "The stupid bank almost has the words 'Breaking bones and sucking marrow' written on its face."
He lowered his head and glanced at the people around him, "You didn't just sign this kind of loan, did you?"
Speaking of this, he said with some schadenfreude, "If you ask me, that thing is just a contract. You sell yourself to the bank in exchange for money to study, and then work for the bank for the rest of your life. You are miserable in this life. No wonder you sit on the Here."
"Aren't you sitting here too?"
The person next to me laughed and said, "Then you are miserable too?"
"Hey, you can't hit me,"
The young man shook his head, "I don't even know who my parents are, I'm used to it."
"Looking at your conditions, you should be a supporter of the mayor. Why are you sitting here?"
The person next to me asked with a smile.
"Earn some money, don't be shabby,"
The boy shrugged, "The mayor's choice is like sexual orientation. You can't even afford to eat. Do you still care whether the person who orders you at night is a man or a woman?
"I'm sitting here, sitting opposite the mayor. Am I necessarily an opponent of the mayor? And me sitting here has no influence on him. I'm just making a living. Don't take it too seriously."
At this point, he seemed to have realized something, and said seriously, "Let me emphasize, I am just making a metaphor. I don't provide that kind of service, so don't have any weird ideas."
"So do you support Christos?"
The person next to me asked with a smile.
"No support, I don't support anyone,"
The young man shrugged, "Although they say he's pretty good, I just want to make a living. If you ask me, these politicians don't have anything good. Just watch, sooner or later his fox tail will show up. "
Hearing this answer, the person next to him was slightly startled and said dumbly, "It takes a month or two for a policy to take effect, a year or two for a law to be passed on, and it takes years and decades for doubts in people's hearts to come into effect. It takes years to turn things around.”
He stood up slowly, took off his fur coat, and put it on the thinly-clad young man. "If you have a chance, you can take a look at the government's low-interest loans."
He smiled and added, "The interest rate is really low. If you have enough conditions, you can also apply for interest-free."
Hearing this, the young man was slightly startled. He raised his head, but saw that the figure had already stood up and walked away.
He touched the warm leather jacket on his body and felt a little absent-minded for a moment.
At the end of the sky, there seemed to be a faint light.
——
Roger opened his eyes, sat up from the recliner that was swaying along the vehicle, and looked through the car window at the faint light at the end of the night.
He turned his head and looked ahead.
The transport truck has been driven by young soldiers, and the road ahead is still gray.
In that far away place, the sound of artillery fire seemed to have not stopped.
But the voice seemed to have finally faded away.
Forty-seven hundred words, please give me a vote at the beginning of the month.
