Chapter 457: Rushing together
“I don’t think something is right.”
This sentence made everyone stop grabbing their chopsticks and look at Li Chengqi.
"What's wrong? It wasn't Qian Sen's call just now?"
"It's Qian Sen's voice, but it's weird."
The first thing he said was to ask if Li Chengqi was at home. This was complete nonsense.
In the past, every time Qian Sen confirmed the situation, whether he came directly to the door or made a phone call, he would say, "Is there nothing going on over there?" ’.
After all, Jiuke has arranged surveillance personnel nearby to take charge of security and monitoring everyone's actions. There is no need to ask where Li Chengqi is.
Also, a broken phone is suspicious.
Qian Sen is the regional head of Jiuke. He is very busy at work every day, and his mobile phone is used as a work tool. All of them are customized special products, not those bought in the market.
The performance is not as good as civilian flagships, but it is better in terms of durability, strong signal, and certain anti-interference ability.
How could this thing break so easily?
To take a step back, even if it's broken, wouldn't it be better for Qian Sen to remove the sim card and use his colleague's phone first?
He basically relies on his mobile phone and computer for his daily work. It is very inconvenient without him. There is no need to borrow a colleague's mobile phone to make calls.
To take a step back, the above doubts are all due to Li Chengqi's nervousness, but Qian Sen's voice is also not right.
It's not that Qian Sen's voice is obviously different from usual, but that his energy and energy are wrong.
Qian Sen usually talks a little weakly, but when he heard it, he knew that it was caused by a liver attack. However, Qian Sen on the phone just now was very energetic.
Especially the Ninth Section has been very busy recently, and Qian Sen cannot have time to take a good rest, which means he cannot be too energetic.
——I wonder if Qian Sen will want to cry for a while after hearing Li Chengqi’s judgment.
Li Chengqi immediately found Qian Sen's number and called it. The message "The number you dialed has been turned off" came out from the receiver.
When the call failed, Li Chengqi looked for WeChat, but Qian Sen didn't get any response whether it was a voice call or a message. It seems like what was said on the phone just now is true.
"You mean, Qian Sen has a problem?"
"To be precise, something wasn't right with Qian Sen on the phone just now."
First-category contacts such as Jiu Ke and Li Chengqi generally have a single line of contact, so once contact is lost, Li Chengqi has no second person to contact.
Moreover, Jiu Ke said that surveillance personnel were arranged nearby, but Li Chengqi did not know their specific location at all.
However, Li Chengqi looked at the address book and found that we have other ways.
Lei Lei's best friend Gan Xiaoyan is also from Section 9. Although she is an intern, she is at least half of the establishment.
I immediately found Gan Xiaoyan's number, but when I called it, it still said, 'The number you dialed has been turned off.'
Now it was almost certain that something had definitely happened.
"Is there anyone else?"
"Emmm... Let me ask Lei Lei, have you seen the one who came to my house on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"
I found Lei Lei's phone number again, and this time I finally got through.
"Brother Li? Why did you call me all of a sudden?"
"It's a bit urgent. Can you contact Gan Xiaoyan now?"
"Xiaoyan didn't come to school today. I heard it was her turn to be on duty."
The voice from Lei Lei's side was a bit noisy. It should be in the school cafeteria at this time.
"Maybe I'm neurotic. I think something might have happened." Li Chengqi quickly stated his guess, and Lei Lei replied: "It's indeed a bit suspicious. Brother Li, please don't act rashly. I'll investigate." one time."
"Well, you should be more careful."
After hanging up the phone, Li Chengqi looked at the gods who were eagerly waiting for news:
"I'm not sure if it's coming for us, but at least be prepared in advance."
Really, everything came together!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
According to the Demon King's Calendar, it is the beginning of March 649.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the city opens.
Viola stood on the tower of the city wall, watching the army in the distance approaching step by step, like a black tsunami, approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course she didn't know what trouble was going on with Li Chengqi. The army in front of her was what she cared about most.
The beat of the war drum urged the army to march forward in formation, and every beat struck the hearts of the soldiers defending the city.
The horns sounded like a chorus, and the huge war machine called the Army was heading towards Viola.
This princess in military uniform has never participated in such a large-scale war. In the past, her father and eldest brother were responsible for fighting with neighboring countries. She could only read the battle reports from the rear.
This time, Viola and her army will face this wave head on.
The killing intent almost condensed into a solid substance, and as the enemy troops approached, the strong sense of oppression was suffocating. When the door was opened, the big bell on the city tower rang loudly, and all the soldiers were ready.
When the enemy approached and was about to enter the effective shooting range, the deafening drums suddenly ceased, the black soldiers and the weapons reflecting cold light stopped, and the entire battlefield fell silent.
The sudden change was a bit unprepared, but Viola knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
——Woo!
The sound of a huge horn, which was located at the rear of the army and required to be carried by carriages and pumped with bellows, was like a signal, a signal to start war.
The sound of drums and horns echoed each other again. The army of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom, dressed in black armor, held their heads high and marched neatly towards the city wall again, entering the effective killing range of their bows and crossbows.
The officers on Viola's side ordered the soldiers not to fire arrows. Now the arrows will only pierce the shields and armor of the enemy's vanguard, and will not have much effect at all.
However, the trebuchets and ballistae placed on the city walls can now go wild.
With the terrible sound of breaking wind, the huge spherical rock was thrown out from the city wall. The specially rounded boulder fell to the ground and began to roll with the concussion. The soldiers who could not dodge were instantly crushed into meat patties.
However, this was unable to prevent the enemy from approaching.
Trebuchets and ballistae can indeed cause effective damage, but the number of enemy troops is large, and the reloading time is also very long. It is estimated that by the time the army rushes under the city wall, they will not be able to fire a few rounds.
The trebuchets and ballistae are fired at the beginning. Their biggest effect is to damage morale, allowing the surrounding soldiers to see the consequences of being hit, thereby depriving the enemy of the will to fight.
But as I said before, the Tandelon Demon Kingdom Army is not the frightened Subia Demon Kingdom Army. Their morale is extremely high, and this loss is probably not worth seeing.
The second wave of trebuchets and ballistae had not yet been launched, and the enemy was already very close at this time. The officers on the city wall immediately ordered the soldiers to fire arrows.
Pieces of arrows soared into the sky like a plague of locusts, and then fell in arcs from the sky like raindrops.
The Tanderon Demon Kingdom troops raised their shields one after another. Their shields were very special. They were not the iron-clad wooden shields or metal shields of ordinary armies, but vine armor shields made of fine woven rattan.
The Tandelon Demon Kingdom has a well-developed domestic water network, numerous forests, and relatively rare ores. Therefore, the troops who were born here used local materials and used the rattan all over the ground supplemented by oil to make rattan armor shields.
The advantage is that it is lightweight and has good defense, but the disadvantage is that it is afraid of fire. If you are not careful, it may cause the scene of burning the vine armor soldiers.
However, the Tandelon Demon Kingdom also knows this shortcoming. Their only shield is rattan armor, which can be ignited and thrown away.
And because their load is lower, their advance speed is much faster than that of the average army. Now the vanguard has rushed to the city...
