Views:

There is a conference room under the tallest spire of the Wild Wolf Castle. This conference room is the office of the temporary inspection committee responsible for this trial. Because the castle is still garrisoned, every other In three days, the Black Flame City military will use the letter falcon to communicate with this place and issue a news report from the Black Flame City military, so that the defenders here can know in time some major events that are happening in Black Flame City. After Wild Wolf Castle became a trial base for Black Flame City students, the people notified of this news became the members of the temporary inspection committee and the students who participated in trials here.

Today, after receiving the letter from the letter falcon that flew from Black Flame City, the face of the teacher on duty changed drastically when he saw the content in the letter. He immediately asked all the teachers and the trial leaders of each school to be summoned. He called it over, and then read the official notification issued by the Black Flame City military in the letter in the conference room...

After listening to this report, everyone who was originally in a relaxed mood felt heavy. The air in the conference room seemed to have solidified, and you could hear the drop of a needle...

Just the day before yesterday, when the Wild Wolf Castle received the first rain in June, a big event happened in Black Flame City. On this day, the Black Flame City military dispatched heavy troops and suddenly surrounded Mingguang, a city located in Black Flame City. The New Moon Merchant Group's residence on the street was then forcibly searched on the grounds of searching for military fugitives. The Black Flame City military's forced search unexpectedly encountered the New Mun En Merchant Group's escorts. The desperate resistance of the Numuen Merchant Group's escort team was crushed to pieces under the iron fist of the Black Flame City military, which had been well prepared. During the subsequent search of the Numun Merchant Group's residence, the military The fugitive Fang was not found, but more shocking things and evidence were found. Under those irrefutable evidence, combined with the interrogation of the person in charge of the Black Flame City of the controlled New Moon business group, a A huge conspiracy has surfaced - the New Moon Business Group colludes with the Red Turban Thief, intending to create opportunities for the Red Turban Thief to infiltrate the several major families of the Coal and Steel Federation that controls the entire Black Flame City, and create terror in Black Flame City. atmosphere, and then supported the puppets they controlled to come to power, and finally made Black Flame City issue a statement to break away from the Andaman Alliance, announcing that it would join the shocking layout of the Norman Empire.

The Black Flame City official reported this matter to the Andaman Alliance last night, which shocked the entire Andaman Alliance. On the same night that the Andaman Alliance received the notification, it reported the matter to the Norman Empire in the name of the entire alliance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made the strongest protest, hoping that the Norman Empire could give Black Flame City and the Andaman Alliance a reasonable explanation for this incident. As of this morning, the Norman Empire was still silent, and Black Flame City had begun to The city seized the properties and business groups of Norman Empire merchants, and stopped all business dealings with the Norman Empire...

The tense atmosphere caused by the red scarf bandits has escalated to another level this time. The Black Flame City military officially entered the first level of combat readiness today...

There was an eerie and solemn silence in the conference room of Wild Wolf Castle. The words "Norman Empire" made everyone feel a little breathless. This is a great thing for both Black Flame City and the Andaman Alliance. A real behemoth, you only need to look at a set of data to see how big the difference in strength between the two sides is - the number of troops in Black Flame City has always been between 50,000 and 60,000, and the number of troops in the entire Andaman Alliance is about more than 40 Thousands of people, and the number of standing troops of the Norman Empire's Northern Legion, which is adjacent to the Andaman Alliance, is more than 3 million. If a fight really breaks out, just one Norman Empire's Northern Legion can defeat the entire Andaman Alliance. To put it bluntly, the main reason why the Andaman Alliance has been at peace with the Norman Empire in these years is not how strong the Andaman Alliance is, but the relationship between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire, which is also adjacent to the Andaman Alliance. Contradictions and restrictions prevented the Norman Empire from taking action easily. The Norman Empire was a madman, and the Sun God Dynasty was also a madman. When the two madmen looked at each other across the Andaman Alliance, no one would take action first. This situation has been maintained for decades, and Black Flame City has developed for decades. Now, one of these two lunatics has no patience...

"Do we need to inform the students about this?" After a long silence at the round pine table in the conference room, a teacher spoke up.

"I don't think it's necessary. When we leave here, it's their turn to know. They will know naturally. Let these little guys enjoy the last rare happy time in their lives..." Everyone in the conference room turned their attention to He looked at the gentle-looking teacher who said this, but the gentle-looking teacher smiled indifferently, "Everyone, after decades of peace with Black Flame City and the Andaman Alliance, why did the Norman Empire choose How to do it at this time? And just a few weeks ago, the strategic materials of all countries in the entire Blackson Human Corridor began to slowly increase in price. What does this mean? Everyone knows, right? A small black flame Is the alliance between the city and the Andaman worth such a big war between all the countries in the Blackson Human Corridor?"

Captain Colin frowned. There was something in the teacher's words, but for Captain Colin, who was not good at intelligence and analytical skills, it was difficult to grasp the meaning behind it. "Jerome, you It means there is a war about to happen..."

"I don't mean anything..." Jerome, who spoke, looked around and sighed softly, "We are all small people and cannot decide big things. But I remember that since the last conflict between humans and demons, The Second Hundred Years of Holy War ended, and it seems that more than 170 years have passed..."

Holy war!

These two sudden words blew into the conference room without warning like a cold wind of minus 50 degrees. Hearing these two words, even Captain Colin's face turned pale...

Zhang Tie was not happy at all this morning. Not only was he unhappy, he was also extremely depressed. No matter who it was, he had to dig up three hundred kilograms of ore like a groundhog in one morning and put the ore in the ore basket. No one will be happy if they carry the ore basket and walk a one-way distance of 1.5 kilometers to deliver the ore to the delivery location. The iron ore contained in the ore basket has an iron content of between 50% and 60%, and is quite heavy. When the entire ore basket is full, it can hold nearly 200 kilograms of iron ore. Stone, but for these students participating in the trial now, none of them have the ability to carry a weight of 200 kilograms and walk 1.5 kilometers. Not to mention 200 kilograms, even 100 kilograms are very difficult. If you carry 50 kilograms of ore for 1.5 kilometers and still have the strength to mine when you come back, you are already in good physical condition. Mining is not difficult. One person can dig several tons a day without any problem, but it has to be carried by these iron ores. The delivery point is the real test of human strength.

Zhang Tie had been busy this morning. After gritting his teeth and working hard, with his physical strength as a first-order soldier, he could only carry a mining basket weighing more than 70 kilograms three times and walked twice. 1.5 kilometers. I had just completed two-thirds of today's task. I felt a little exhausted all over my body and my feet were a little weak. I had just finished carrying the third basket of ore and delivered the goods. I received two boxes of dry food and started working on it. Under a pine tree, I can no longer climb up.

After such an incident, Zhang Tie vowed that from now on, regardless of wind or rain, he must come to dig once a day and pay the minimum amount of the day. It would be too much labor to make up for three days of arrears in one day. , too torturous.

Just like outside, there were originally small rails used to pull mine carts inside the mine, but those small rails were removed by some unscrupulous bastard. The marks of the rails are still clearly visible in the tunnel, but all mining people must not Not relying on your own feet to walk out of the nearly one mile long tunnel suddenly reduced the efficiency of mining a lot.

As usual, after only working for one morning, some guys who wanted to experience something new were already giving up. Many people never wanted to experience the mine again after having experienced it once.

Zhang Tie, who was sitting against the tree, drinking water and eating dry food, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the two happy little squirrels on the tree above his head. In the past few days, he seemed to have discovered a group of squirrels coming to the Wild Wolf Valley. The uninvited guests snatched the pine cones for them to survive the winter. The two little squirrels also became busy at this time, moving the pine cones back and forth to the tree holes where they settled, even more diligently than Zhang Tie. Seeing the two little squirrels busy, Zhang Tie felt a little embarrassed. He also had a share in robbing these little guys of their winter food, and his own diligence was inferior to these two little guys. That's far from it...

On the first day after the rain stopped, for all the trial students, everyone was busy like machines again. For most people, it seems difficult to associate the word happiness with this trial. He got up in a cave about ten kilometers away from Zhang Tie's location. While Zhang Tie was leaning against a big tree and eating dry food, Gres and a few people around him were doing something that couldn't be more related to happiness. Things that are irrelevant...

There was blood all over the cave at this moment. After several female wolves that were suckling a bunch of wolf pups in the cave died tragically under the sword of Gres, all the wolf cubs that were not much bigger than the newly born puppies also suffered from Gres. With Si's vicious hands, there were several litters of more than twenty wolves, all of which were brutally killed by Gris. In the end, he used his feet to crush the head of a young wolf that wanted to bite his heel on the ground. , the howling of the wolves in the cave finally stopped.

As soon as the wailing in the cave stopped, Sharon and Zuhaier rushed in. Both of them carefully avoided the wolf blood on the ground. At this moment, Sharon and Zuhaier, like Gris, were covered in blood from top to bottom. The skin underneath turned dark green, as if some kind of strange juice had been applied to it.

"Let's go quickly. If we wait for the wolves to come back and find us, it will be too late..." Sharon said.

"Gris, these shoes of yours are stained with wolf blood. Don't take them anymore, otherwise the wolves will find you. Now everyone leave quickly and wash off the juice of taro roots and blood wolf flowers that mask our smell. Don't let people find out that we did this..." Seeing Gris crushing a wolf cub under his feet, Zuhair yelled quickly. The yelling Zuhair hurriedly took out a tarpaulin from his arms. Open the sealed bag, use two fingers to take out a small piece of something like a broken towel and throw it on the ground.

Looking at the blood of the young wolves on the soles of his feet, Gris cursed, and then quickly left the wolf den that had no breath of life with Sharon and Zuhair.

"Have you finished your work?" Gris asked Zuhair when leaving.

"Don't worry, I have arranged the rest of the towel fragments along the way. As long as those returning wild wolves follow the scent route provided by those fragments, they will definitely find Zhang Tie on his daily way back to the tree house's lair. These wild wolves Wolves are the most vengeful and cunning..." Zuhair smiled sinisterly, "An ordinary combat worker was targeted by a pack of wild wolves and bitten to pieces. This has nothing to do with us!"

"Hahaha..." Gris and several doglegs laughed together...

Two hours later, the wolves that went out to look for food returned, and then the entire wolf den began to echo with the low howls of the male wolves...
