The night in the forest is very quiet, without the roar of demonized beasts or the cry of cicadas.
Tang Yu walked on the gravel road, the lights were dim and the environment was deep.
Nancy followed step by step, acting as a guard, turning her head to look around from time to time.
Luo Zhe was half a body behind and walked to one side.
The three of them were walking on the forest path, still looking lonely. Suddenly Luo Zhe spoke:
"Lord, I think you need to form a guard team."
Tang Yu hasn't spoken yet.
Behind her, Nancy was stunned, "I...protect...the lord."
The extraordinary aura spread, and Luo Zhe laughed stiffly, "Miss Nancy is definitely capable of protecting the lord, but now that we have tens of thousands of people, lord, you must also pay attention to some pomp and circumstance."
"In my hometown, every time a wealthy lord travels, there will definitely be an accompanying escort. This is not only to protect the safety of the lord, but also a manifestation of strength. It may be okay for you to travel alone in the territory, but if you go out Go to other territorial... shelters. With your current status, it is not appropriate to travel alone, even with Miss Nancy."
Tang Yu thought for a while.
In terms of personal strength, apart from Nancy, he considers himself second...third.
Nancy is enough to protect him.
Luo Zhe was once a knight, half aristocrat, and his way of thinking was different from Elaine's and him.
Pomp is not necessarily necessary, but the existence of the escort team shows force and can avoid unnecessary troubles. He can also have more people around him to give orders, so he does not have to do everything.
Looks like we're looking for a secretary
Tang Yu pondered for a while. A secretary can do it, but of course it is best to be a capable female secretary.
"Ahem, so, the number of members of the escort team is tentatively determined to be twelve, starting from..."
He was originally going to say that he would be selected from the two corps, but after thinking about it, he said, "Let's select from the martial arts apprentices."
Compared with the members of the corps, martial arts apprentices who are younger and more malleable are more loyal.
In addition to worshiping him as the 'strongest person in the shelter', Luo Zhe and several other followers also subtly instilled the loyal thought of 'director first' when teaching.
It may be difficult for adults with sufficient experience to change their values that are set in stone. These young girls and boys, who are only in their teens and twenties, are the best candidates for training.
Luo Zhe clenched his fist with one hand and put it against his left chest, and responded, "Yes! I will definitely select the best guard for you."
…
After walking on the forest path for a few minutes, the front gradually opened up, and bright lights illuminated the mine as if it were daytime.
The trees near the pit have been cut down and poured with cement to prevent the shrubs from growing rapidly. Only the giant tree with white leaves in the center of the pit is breathtaking, as if it reaches straight into the sky.
"It seems a little bigger. Is there no problem with the operation of the shielding rune array?"
Luo Zhe nodded, "Master Kevin will come to the mine every half month to check the formation. There is no problem."
The formation only has simple light and shadow effects, covering the giant tree to a certain extent.
The layout is not easy, and only Kevin can do it in the entire territory.
Go to the pit,
There are tall and large arrow towers all around, which makes people feel at ease, and the tinkling sound of mining reaches our ears.
The source crystal mine works 24 hours a day. Most of them are "re-education prisoners" who made mistakes and were escorted to work in the mining area. There are also some survivors who choose to come to the mining area in order to earn more source crystals.
A garrison brigade, fifty awakened ones, patrolled in two shifts.
As soon as Tang Yu and the others arrived, the awakened men of the garrison immediately discovered that a corps captain was coming to greet them.
I just asked a few questions about the spy caught in the mining area.
The loud greetings came from afar, making the eardrums tingle.
A figure over three meters tall, like a giant, walked step by step, making the stones on the ground tremble slightly.
"Good evening, my lord."
Tai Lun bowed, but Tang Yu still had to look up, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Even the iron-tower-like Luo Zhe seemed to be just a child standing next to the stone man Tai Lun.
…
"In other words, there are a total of six people. One of them was accidentally beaten to death by you, and another is dying and hanging. The remaining few are being imprisoned?"
Tai Lun replied angrily, "Yes", and touched his bald head in embarrassment with his big hand.
These people are not the first outsiders to spy on the mining area. Long before the formation to hide the giant tree was built, many spies discovered this mining area. Now, those people are either dead or have become conscientious miners, shining brightly.
After the formation was established, the giant tree was difficult to discover, but after all, the mining area was only a few kilometers away from the shelter, and there were still some people with bad intentions or who broke in by mistake.
It’s just that most of them are not strong.
The six spies who had just been captured were very powerful. If Tai Lun hadn't taken action, the awakened men of the garrison corps alone would not have been able to capture them all.
"Let's go and take a look."
…
On one side of the pit, a three-story building was built as a residence for the miners, and the basement was a place where prisoners were temporarily detained.
Before he walked in, he heard a commotion from ahead.
"catch him."
"Don't let him get away, but be careful not to kill him."
"grass!"
boom!
A hole was opened in the ground not far away, and a embarrassed figure jumped out of the hole.
His clothes were torn and he was coughing up blood at the corner of his mouth. However, he was very fast and several figures flashed and appeared a hundred meters away.
Several members of the defense team jumped out of the hole one after another and chased after him.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, just as he was about to catch up, the silhouette of the fleeing figures suddenly changed from one to two, and from two to four...
In the blink of an eye, there were a dozen identical figures, scattered and fleeing into the distance.
The members of the pursuing garrison were hesitant, not knowing which one to pursue.
Tang Yu glanced at the figure that had disappeared into the forest, turned around and ordered, "Nancy, capture him."
…
Li Guming endured the pain on his body and ran non-stop. The complex terrain in the forest could not hinder him in the slightest.
He glanced back from time to time. Although he could no longer see his pursuer, he still didn't care. He separated into several clones and continued to escape.
Recalling the bald man who was too strong to be human, Li Guming was still frightened. With just one punch, he beat one of his subordinates to pieces...
This is a terrifying force that cannot be countered.
There is such a powerful person in Luyin!
He looked back again. The lights in the mining area had faded away, and the surroundings were quiet.
There was no sign of the pursuer, and no sound.
Li Guming slowed down and minimized the noise he made...
"It's okay, it's okay, I escaped and nothing happened."
He turned around and was halfway there.
His whole body trembled violently.
It's as if the soul is leaving the body.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and Li Guming could only vaguely recognize a petite, seemingly young female awakener who made him lose the ability to resist with just one punch.
