Chapter 88 Attack on the City
Harvest Moon, 2nd.
At half past six in the morning, Gaode got up on time.
Since he came to this world, he has developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Who made this world without "mobile phones"!
After waking up, he first did some simple exercise for half an hour as usual, then took a shower, and then started to prepare today's breakfast:
"Alternate version of vegetable porridge" cooked with wheat and some vegetables. .
After breakfast, Gothe checked the time on his pocket watch. It was just before eight o'clock, and there was still one hour left before his working hours.
He simply started to think about what he needed to prepare for his trip to St. Sean City.
After careful consideration, the best option at the moment is to take the water route.
Although there is no direct waterway connecting Bremen and Saint-Sien, it requires crossing different water systems and land, and changing between at least five or six cities.
Taking into account factors such as season, current, wind direction and stops along the way, the entire journey will take at least several months.
But compared to taking the land route, it is at least much safer and less likely to cause accidents.
It’s just that for such a long journey, it’s obviously not something you can just walk on, so you have to be well prepared.
Dang Dang Dang!
Dang Dang Dang!
Dang Dang Dang!
While Gothe was still immersed in his calculations, a rapid siren suddenly sounded, surging back and forth throughout the city, interrupting his contemplation.
Hearing this voice, he couldn't help but be surprised.
This is a city-wide siren.
"What happened?"
He opened the door and tried to look out onto the street to see what was going on.
I found that most of the people in the surrounding houses were like him, opening their doors and watching.
Everyone is confused.
Because they didn't find anything unusual, they couldn't understand why the alarm bell sounded.
But everyone's doubts were quickly answered.
A strange mechanical bird, like a wind-up toy, had already sounded from the center of the city the moment the alarm sounded.
They spread out in all directions, flying to every corner of the city.
The mechanical bird spread its shining wings and flew low over every block and street at an extremely fast speed.
The bodies of these mechanical birds emit mechanically synthesized sounds, which are clear and cold:
"Around Hogan City, the earth veins are reborn, and the earth vein creatures are rioting. They are launching attacks on the surrounding cities. A large number of ferocious bats are now attacking Bremen City."
"All residents outside, please go home as soon as possible. Close the door tightly and do not go out until you are officially notified, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!”
“We also sincerely call on all the magicians in the city of Bremen to defend against the attack of the ferocious bats.”
“Anyone who participates in the defense, or a mage apprentice, regardless of the conditions, will receive a reward of 5 gold coins, and a level 1 mage will receive a reward of 20 gold coins.”
“In addition, for every dire bat killed, an additional Reward 1 gold coin! Those who are interested can register at each city wall immediately and wait for dispatch! ”
The instructions were concise and powerful, like an invisible spell.
First, the people who heard it fell into tense silence, and then they dispersed in an instant like frightened rabbits, rushing back to their respective homes, closing the doors and windows tightly!
Gothe looked at the streets that were deserted in the blink of an eye, as well as the doors and windows of the houses that were closed on both sides of the street, and took a deep breath.
Sure enough, it happened.
The ley lines are reborn.
Even the city of Bremen, which is so far away from Hogan City, is about to be attacked by earth-line creatures.
It is conceivable that Hogan City, which is adjacent to the Xinsheng Leyline, must have experienced what kind of terrifying offensive.
Standing at the door, Gothe hesitated for a moment and then made his decision.
He closed the door.
But instead of going back to the house, he went straight to the nearest city wall.
Yes, Gaud wants to respond to the call from Bremen City and participate in defense.
Let’s not talk about the so-called lip-destroying principle, the favorable conditions alone are attractive enough. As a mage, as long as you participate in defense, you will receive 5 gold coins unconditionally. There will also be additional rewards for participating in killing earth-line creatures.
The most important thing is that the incoming leyline creatures are a large number of ferocious bats, which are the same leyline creature.
This means that he is very likely to gain some new origins in this defensive battle!
As for the dangers he may face.
Gothe really needs to think more carefully about letting him go out of the city to hunt earth-line creatures.
Now we are on the city wall, defending and fighting with a bunch of mages. With real mages standing in front of us, the risk is actually extremely low.
Gothe also does not think that as the largest city in the Bremen region, Bremen City will not be able to cope with an attack by a group of earth-line creatures.
This kind of opportunity is definitely rare.
There is no reason not to participate!
When Gothe arrived at the city wall closest to the Camond District, he found that there were already many people waiting in line at the entrance to the stairs leading up to the city wall.
They are all city mages who have come to participate in the defense. They are basically mages' apprentices. They are being reviewed by the official staff of Bremen City and receiving remuneration.
The reward of 5 gold coins was actually distributed before the battle!
This shows the official sincerity.
Gothe watched for a moment and found that the so-called review was very lax.
Everyone comes forward to register their mage level at the registration staff, and they will receive 5 gold coins directly without even revealing the attack spells they master.
Then, according to the allocation of staff, they are organized into various teams.
The captain of each team is served by an official mage.
"It is expected that the dire bats will attack in another thirty minutes. Mages who want to participate in the defense should speed up!" the leading steward urged loudly.
Gothe no longer hesitated and immediately joined the queue.
After a while, it was his turn.
"Name?"
"Google·Ditu."
"Mage level?" The staff member responsible for registration asked without raising his head.
"Second-class apprentice."
"Okay, you go to team seven." The staff member handed over 5 gold coins and arranged a place for Gaode.
5 gold coins were obtained immediately, and the specific arrangements were distributed. The whole process took no more than ten seconds, which can be said to be neat and tidy.
Gaode put away the 5 gold coins, followed the instructions of another staff member, and joined a team of more than a dozen people gathered aside.
It should be Team Seven.
Coincidentally, his joining allowed the seventh team to be reorganized.
Seeing that the people had gathered together, one of them, wearing a uniform and obviously affiliated with the official mage, said: "Everyone, I will be the captain of our temporary team. You will follow my command for subsequent actions. , my name is Li Luo. "
"Our team, including me, has a total of seventeen people, six third-class mage apprentices, and eleven second-class mage apprentices. We need to defend one hundred meters of the west city wall. A paragraph."
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem." Everyone responded in unison.
Although this captain is only a third-class mage apprentice, there are five people in the team who are in the same realm as him.
But whether it is his status as an official mage or the fierce temperament he displays, he can completely overpower the situation.
And everyone is not a fool. We know that in this kind of situation, it is not the time to show your personality. It is definitely safer to follow the instructions of experienced people.
"If there is no problem, come with me!"
Lillo led a group of people along the inner passage of the city wall, climbed the city wall, and came to the section of the city wall that the team was responsible for defending.
On the city wall, there were fully armed city guards who had already prepared everything including defenses, waiting for the arrival of the dire bats.
They are the main defensive force in this battle.
