"roll!"
Seeing that the black python's huge mouth was about to swallow him, the colonel shouted loudly, smashed the war hammer to the ground, and a strong light exploded, smashing the black python into pieces.
Next, the Allied Colonel continued to fight with the two alien creatures. These two alien creatures were quite difficult to deal with, but the Colonel of Glorious Castle was no pushover either. He soon figured out the abilities of the two alien creatures.
The more injured the black ape was, the angrier it became. When it was angry, its size would continue to grow, and its strength, speed, destructive power, etc. would continue to increase.
The black mist left by the black bear when it moves will slow people down, and if they are scratched by its sharp claws, even if it only breaks the skin, their strength, star energy and even their thoughts will become lazy and sluggish.
This was a force the colonel had never encountered before, but these two alien creatures were not completely invincible.
Although the black ape will become more and more terrifying, it will be injured and the injuries cannot be repaired.
As for the black bear, as long as it is not caught or bitten, it will be fine. The black fog it spreads can be blown away by the impact of energy.
So a moment later, when the colonel used his war hammer to smash the black ape away again, the accumulated injuries of the black ape were too many and too severe, and finally it disintegrated in mid-air and turned into black smoke.
The remaining black bear's attack could not break through the colonel's fighting spirit armor, so it could not hurt or affect the colonel. Without the interference of the black ape, the colonel focused all his attention on it, and in just a few rounds, he hammered the black bear to death.
But after killing the two aliens, the colonel looked back and found that the commander named Chen Ge had disappeared.
After the cavalry from Hell Castle attracted the main force of the coalition forces, they suddenly turned around, gathered the remnants along the way, and quickly left the battlefield.
The commander of the coalition forces looked helpless. Who would have thought that the cavalry would fight to the death but suddenly withdraw. It was too late to deploy a line to intercept them. He could only watch as the army of Hell Castle left behind a field of corpses and carcasses, and the rest of the people left without a trace.
The colonel of the coalition army came to the commander and said solemnly: "A single formation has such combat power. It seems that Hell Castle is not an easy opponent."
The commander nodded and said, "If all the commanders of Hell Castle are of that level, this battle will be difficult to fight. I originally thought it could be over in a month or two at most, but now it seems that it is not that easy."
The two exchanged glances, and both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.
... ... ... .
As the war spread across the Central Continent, the Eastern Continent maintained a generally peaceful situation. Occasionally, fortress wars like the one at Skyfort broke out, but compared to the war in the Central Continent that was escalating and seemed to be spreading across the entire continent, these wars in the Eastern Continent could only be considered minor skirmishes.
Bay Area.
Since the surrender of Jingtao Fort, this area has returned to its previous tranquility. After the defeat, Jingtao Fort paid a heavy price, and at least half of the territory fell into the pocket of Qingtian Fort.
However, the Skyfort announced that these territories would still be managed by the Thunderfort, but they had to be affiliated with the Skyfort and pay a certain percentage of taxes every year.
In addition, Skyfort has also dispatched troops to this territory to strengthen control. In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the management of entry applications and the defense of the territory border will be strengthened in the next three years.
The connection between the two fortress wars has doubled the territory of the Sky Fortress.
, more manpower will be needed. Judging from the previous population of Skyfort, there will be a big gap in manpower in the management of the next district.
Chu Yan then took the opportunity to implement the new policy, promoting Tian Yang as a "commoner hero" to break down the class barriers and allow the lower classes to have more opportunities.
At the same time, the assessment system was used to absorb a large number of talents from the lower classes to solve the problem of staff shortage.
However, even with the new policy, the problem of manpower still existed. As a result, the Sky Fortress relaxed the settlement policy for outsiders, and the rise of the Sky Fortress also attracted a large number of outsiders, who quickly settled in the fortress, temporarily alleviating the problem of manpower shortage.
However, even if these immigrants have obtained resident status, they still need to go through a three-year probation period. If they commit major incidents within three years, their resident status will be revoked.
In addition, Chu Yan also implemented various policies to benefit the people, such as reducing taxes and encouraging production to stimulate residents' enthusiasm for work; he also took out part of some important mines and handed them over to various families for contracting, and the fortress was only responsible for collecting taxes.
In this way, Skyforge doesn't have to do everything by itself, which reduces a lot of manpower expenses, while gaining the favor of residents and families.
Just after the Fortress War ended, in addition to the Duan family, several other families joined the Sky Fortress one after another, making the fortress even more prosperous.
Uptown.
Mayor's office.
"General."
Su Lie grabbed a chess piece, slapped it on the chessboard, and looked at the old man opposite with a smile.
Chu Yan's eyes widened, and he continued to yell, "This round doesn't count, this round doesn't count, I was dazzled just now, let's do it again, let's do it again."
Su Lie sighed, "Commander, you have been regretting your moves for so many years and still can't change it. No wonder no one wants to play chess with you."
Chu Yan blew his beard and glared, "What's wrong with regretting your move? Are you young people bullying me like this? What's wrong with letting me win one or two games and feel happy? To me, you are just too ignorant."
Su Lie sneered: "What's wrong with being an old man? Can an old man take advantage of his age? Besides, I've already given you three pieces. What can I do if you still lose to me?"
Chu Yan chuckled and said, "I think if you give me one more 'car', it will be enough."
Su Lie shook his head and said, "Commander, I find that you are becoming more and more shameless. You shouldn't have awakened the 'God of War' back then. You should have awakened the 'Fortress'. Maybe you would have reached the rank 10 now, or even become the Ultimate."
"Get lost, I just want you to give me one or two chess pieces, do you really need to go through so much trouble to hurt me?"
Chu Yan walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out an ID card, and threw it to Su Lie: "Here, even if you insult me like this, I won't bother with you, kid. Don't thank me. This is the ID card I got for you."
"From now on, you can come and go openly, no need to be sneaky all the time."
Su Lie picked up the ID and opened it. It was indeed how he looked now, but the name column almost made him spit out blood: "Commander, what is Su Dahong's name? You are taking revenge, right? It must be revenge, right?"
Chu Yan lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "Don't blame me. When I asked you what name you wanted to give, didn't you say it was just any name?"
"You know I hate naming.
, I'm glad I didn't call you Su Xiaoming."
Su Lie's mouth twitched, and he put away his ID and said, "I'll remember you. Wait, it's better not to ask me for help, otherwise I will learn from you and do it perfunctorily. This is called learning and applying."
Chu Yan laughed and said, "I asked you to help, you have to be willing to help. If you have the ability, come back and take over Night Walker. I will immediately give you a name that is both majestic and impressive."
Su Lie chuckled: "Forget it, I won't be fooled by you."
Chu Yan exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Isn't it good to fool the old lady occasionally? It's better than staying in that shabby shack in the downtown area. You little bastard, I know you feel bad for Nan Fei, but have you ever thought about it? If she were still alive, would she be willing to see you living a mediocre life like this?"
Su Lie smiled slightly and said, "Old man, this is not called muddling through."
He exhaled softly: "I have been away from Nan Fei for too long. Although she is gone, I want to stay in the place where she lived for a while. I want to accompany her in another way..."
After looking at Su Lie, Chu Yan shook his head and said, "It's up to you, but don't stay too long. Even if you don't want to take over Night Walker, it's not too much to let me take over Storm, right?"
"Your son has already rejected me once, and I was heartbroken. As a father, you can't reject me again. That would be too much. I'm telling you."
Su Lie stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, Commander, you are still young and can handle this excitement. I'm leaving now. If you have anything, come to the lower city to find me. Just remember to bring some wine."
With a wave of his hand, he walked out of the office and left under the eyes of several guards, but the guards seemed not to see him.
"Get lost right now! You still want me to buy you some wine? No way."
Chu Yan exhaled a puff of smoke and whispered, "If you still have the heart to drink, then I don't have to worry too much. Alas, these bastards, I have to worry about them even at my age, and they don't know how to feel sorry for me, an old man."
He shook his head and began to look at the fort's documents.
Downtown area.
Su Lie walked out of the exit of the ring train on Shadow Street. There are far fewer homeless people on the streets now than before, because even homeless people can find many jobs.
Under the various policies successively introduced by the Fortress, residents of the downtown area can basically realize their dream of living and working in peace and contentment. Their remuneration has increased several times compared with before, which makes pedestrians on the street no longer look at them with empty eyes.
Today, the residents of the Lower Town have found the direction and motivation to work towards, and Su Lie sees the light in their eyes.
He returned to the shed where Tianyang and his mother had lived before. The shed had been empty for a long time, but during this time, Su Lie renovated the house and bought furniture to make the house full of homely atmosphere.
On the way back, he bought a bunch of flowers and planned to put them in the vase in the bedroom. He still remembered what kind of flowers his wife liked, so every two or three days, he would buy a bunch of flowers from the flower shop so that the vase in the bedroom would never be idle.
After opening the door, Su Lieli felt something. He looked up and saw a figure sitting in the small living room at the entrance.
"So you live here..."
The man stood up, letting the sunlight from the window fall on his face, which was a young face that was somewhat similar to Su Lie.
Sunny day.
