Barrier of Light

Gubao Fortress.

The snow is falling heavily and the cold wind is like a knife.

The firelight flickered in the attic, which was warm.

"My Majesty the Brigadier...it is an honor to meet you."

The man wearing a black mask was sitting on the guest chair, with an upright posture and an upright attitude. He was clearly saying words of thanks, but there was no hint of gratitude between the lines... His voice echoed in the spacious attic reception room, hoarse and powerful. , obviously came prepared.

"I should be honored..."

Before he could finish speaking, a young voice interrupted him.

The "Brigadier General" sitting opposite the man was holding a cigar and crossing his legs. Compared to the former, his tone was more perfunctory and there was no hint of honor.

The young brigadier reached out and patted the head of the big dog sitting next to him. The vicious Labrador dog was sticking out its tongue, exhaling hot breath, and kept using the tip of its nose to nudge the owner's hand in a flattering manner.

One person and one dog, having a great time.

"The rumored 'Tengu', the head of the three dogs... is not something everyone can see."

Lin Lin raised his eyes slightly. The dark mask on the face of the man across from him depicted an "evil ghost" with intertwined canines. This was a rather eerie depiction that would make people feel gloomy just by looking at it.

The three "capable generals" under the command of Grand Duke Zhuxue.

They each guard different fortresses on the main wing of Beizhou. They will only leave their garrison points when major events occur... And this sentence sounds quite ironic at this moment.

Lin Lin knew very well why the Tengu came to find him.

Counting the time, the two sentries who were ordered to leave the fort last time should also return to Qiancheng to report the results... In fact, the so-called "results" do not need to be reported at all. Zhuxue understands better than anyone else. No matter how many sentries were dispatched, it was impossible to invite Lin Lin back to Qiancheng.

"Three years and three years..."

Tengu said word by word with a stern voice: "You should go back."

After he finished speaking, his voice softened.

"...These are Lord Zhuxue's exact words."

Sure enough... he called himself back to Qiancheng.

From the first second the Tengu's airship sailed into the Fort Fortress, Lin Lin guessed the other party's intention, but even so, he still felt a headache, because the guy in front of him was not as easy to fool as the previous sentry.

Usually he likes to bully the weak "Niu Niu", but now he pretends not to see the real "evil dog" and only dares to lie under him, licking his palms and wagging his tail in prayer.

If you really want to close the door and let the dogs out.

His own dog... was no match for Zhuxue's dog.

"About this matter... my reply must have been conveyed clearly to the two sentries." Lin Lin asked with a smile: "I can't leave the Gubao Fortress yet."

The tengu narrowed his eyes, and an invisible aura slowly rippled out from his body.

That evil ghost mask seemed to come alive!

In an instant, the fangs on the mask were growing slowly, and the entire face was twisting and stretching——

"Woo——"

The Labrador retriever sensed the danger, stood up suddenly, and came behind its owner. It bared its teeth and made a vicious grinding sound in its throat. The energy chain tied around its neck crackled and stretched straight, like Lin Lin. Let go and it will escape at any time.

Good guy...pretends to be pretty cool.

Lin Lin smiled and patted his pet dog's head. Based on his understanding of this guy's urinary properties...if he let go of the rope at this time, the atmosphere at the scene would become very awkward.

"Why...you want to attack me here and take me back to Qiancheng?"

Lin Lin reached out and tapped the button on the table.

A beam of dim light shone from the attic bookshelf, encompassing the two of them.

This is?

The tengu frowned slightly.

"Although the environment here in the fortress is harsh and the technology is backward... there is still such a thing as 'real-time projection'. I only need to press it again, and the image in the attic will be transmitted to the captain's communicator of the Thirteenth Squadron of the Fort. ." Lin Lin said calmly: "I can guarantee that within one minute, your airship will be bombarded to pieces. If you dare to attack me in the fortress, it doesn't matter whether you are a tengu or a dog of some kind. Even if you are a Zhuxue came in person, but it was of no use."

The eyes under the evil ghost mask flickered slightly.

Lin Lin could see what Tengu was thinking. This guy seemed to be weighing things up... In fact, as one of the residents of Zhengyi Fortress, Tengu knew the defense methods and garrison deployment of Beizhou Fortress quite well.

Is this lunatic really going to take action?

next moment.

The distorted ghostly appearance of the mask slowly returned to its original appearance.

The hair that stood up all over the Labrador's back also fell down.

"Don't get me wrong, Brigadier General."

Tengu said softly: "I just conveyed a message for Lord Zhuxue... What I did was essentially the same as the two sentries before. It's just that compared to them, I can embody the attitude of the Grand Duke better."

As the leader of the three dogs, Tengu came to the Gubao Fortress in person.

This is enough to explain...

Grand Duke Zhuxue is serious about this matter.

"Beizhou is facing a lot of troubles. Today is different from the past. Compared to the front line, you should appear in other places... Gubao Fortress is important, but you are not the only one who can guard it." Tengu slowly leaned forward, The huge feeling of oppression struck again.

The Labrador retriever returned to a state of tense vigilance, and large drops of saliva began to drip. In fact, after touching the eyes of the evil ghost mask, its thinking had solidified, along with its entire body. All became stiff.

Tengu slowly stretched out his hand.

Black sleeves are windless in the loft automatically.

Like spreading embers of fire.

Finally, five cold fingers landed on the grinning big dog's head.

The man wearing the mask had a soft voice, gently stroked the dog's head twice, and said: "Under the brigadier general, biting dogs will not bark."

…

…

Until the Tengu leaves.

The pressure in the attic was still there, and the flames in the fireplace danced and the flames were kept very low.

The "vicious" Labrador dog maintained its offensive posture and stared at the closed wooden door... However, half an hour later, its calves were still shaking uncontrollably.

"Coward."

Lin Lin sneered and cursed: "I'm eating so much for nothing, I don't even dare to fart!"

The big dog whined dejectedly.

It's not that it doesn't dare to go up... but that the enemy is too powerful.

Lin Lin sighed in frustration and did not continue to blame... He rubbed his brows and fell into deep thought.

He was very sure that the Tengu did not use extraordinary power, but it exuded an extremely powerful "power"... How did it do this?

This visit was obviously serious.

The call to advance into the city became more and more urgent.

How long can he delay?

"Crack."

"Crack."

With complicated thoughts entangled, at the moment when the clock in the attic pointed to the hour, a strange voice appeared in Lin Lin's mind out of thin air.

"Zero paint three..."

He was startled.

I thought I was hearing hallucinations.

"I am [Key]."
