Data Wasteland

Just as the desert army crossed the border of Tezera and marched towards White Tiger City, the second imperial capital of the Red Kingdom, on the other side of the kingdom, in the living room of the Golden Lion City Palace, one of the ten city-states, a secret meeting was going on.

More than 1,700 years ago, someone found golden sand in a stream at the southern end of the Longya Mountains. As soon as the news spread ten, ten and one hundred, it quickly spread all over the continent, and attracted a large number of gold prospectors to try their luck.

Today, the Golden Lion City has about 5 million inhabitants, scattered in the southern region of the Longya Mountains. Most of them are descendants of the gold diggers of the year, with a strong pioneering and adventurous spirit.

Although the gold mines on the mountain have been exhausted, and the rivers and streams no longer contain gold sand, this place has become one of the most remote and poorest cities in the whole Ambergris Caye, but in order to commemorate the glory of the ancestors, they changed the name of the city-state from "Abandoned Mining Land" " was changed to "Golden Lion City".

Ten city-state residents call themselves "Westerners", and when a Westerner laughs at others' poverty, they will say "He is as poor as a lion", this slang term comes from the Golden Lion City.

It is ridiculous that he is already too poor to solve the pot, and he calls himself a golden lion.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea, the depleted Golden Lion City lives a semi-primitive and semi-modern life with traditional mountain patrolling, hunting, collecting mountain goods and a small amount of planting as its main source of income.

More than 60% of the residents in the city do not use the black watch, so the Golden Lion City is one of the cities least affected by the collapse of the clear net.

At this moment, there are only two figures in the living room of the Golden Lion City.

A mature and prudent middle-aged man and a young man with a stern face and a slight sullen look between his brows.

"City Lord, I have already agreed on the old city, they will send troops tomorrow afternoon." The young man said.

The mature and prudent middle-aged man in front of him is Li Yaolong, the ruler of the Golden Lion city-state.

Among the ten city-states, except for the White Dragon city-state, which has the title of royal family, the rulers of the remaining nine city-states are all called "city-state lords", referred to as "city lords", who have the title of hereditary earl and have no royal status.

And this young man with gentle words, but with a sharp look in his eyes, is the secret leader of Qingguo's intelligence - "Fox of Qingqiu" Lin Yuanzheng.

"In such a hurry?" Li Yaolong seemed a little surprised, and seemed to be hesitant about the things that had been discussed before.

"The action has begun." Lin Yuanzheng looked at the eyes of the Golden Lion City Lord, his eyes were extremely oppressive, "Please, your legion, be sure to arrive at Langya Fort before dawn tomorrow, join forces with the old city troops, and launch an attack. "

"This..." Li Yaolong sweated on his forehead. Although he had already planned it, he couldn't help feeling panic when it was time to act.

"We all know..." Lin Yuanzheng restrained his murderous intent and said in a heart-to-heart tone, "This is the only way!"

"Only by opening the channel of Wolf Tooth Castle, can the aid of the empire enter the ten city-states."

Wolf Tooth Castle, White Deer Castle, Twin Great Wall, and Dragon Tooth

The natural barrier of the mountains constitutes the defense system to the southwest of the Ambergris. For thousands of years, it has been guarding against and resisting the threat of the Shenshan Empire across the Gale Valley.

Lin Yuanzheng's strategy was to instigate the old city and the golden lion city among the ten city-states, attack from inside and outside, take down the Wolf Fang Fort in one fell swoop, and open up the passage for the Qing army to enter the red country.

"Don't worry..." Lin Yuanzheng caressed the middle-aged man's shoulder, his voice soft and full of seduction, "Behind you is the great Rigals Sacred Mountain Empire."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuanzheng raised his voice in vain, "The Golden Lion Li, will eventually join the ranks of the royal family!"

Hearing the word "royal family", Li Yaolong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Obtaining the status of the royal family has been the dream of the Golden Lion Li family for generations. Since Malan XXII is unwilling to give it, and the North Princess and the South Queen are also unwilling to give it, then let the Qing Emperor give it!

Thinking of this, Li Yaolong clenched his fists. As of now, there is not much choice left.

If you want to do it, do it all the way!

"The Golden Lions obey the order, get ready, and go!"

Half an hour later, Li Yaolong personally led the army out of the city from the south and headed straight for the Wolf Fang Castle.

"Didi, beep, beep, beep..."

Not long after the troops set off, the Morse code was sent out in Golden Lion City through multiple layers of encryption, crossed the tall city wall between the mountains and mountains, passed through the barren and icy windy valley, and plunged into a large area of ​​dense forest.

[Qinghu calls, the second stage of the Dragon Slaying Plan is successful, and the third stage begins to pull out the wolf's teeth! ]

The "Dragon Slaying Plan" is a thousand-year plan of the Qing Kingdom, which means to cut off the dragon veins of the Red Kingdom, steal the country's fortune, and strengthen itself.

And the core of this plan is the fourth stage of "drive away the wolf", using the independence of the ten city-states to contain the red country, forming a huge buffer zone, and completely solving the threat of the red country.

When the telegram spread all over the northern end of Rigals Sacred Mountain, there was a dense mechanical friction sound in the originally silent mountain forest.

Gears turn, hydraulic stretches, steel collides. Accompanied by the splashing sparks, one by one mechanical giant beasts protruded from the dense branches and leaves.

The head shot out strong light, swept back and forth above the canopy, the huge mechanical limbs lifted high, and then plunged into the ground heavily, slowly advancing in the dense sea of ​​trees.

On the long iron body, a large amount of supplies were fixed with ropes, and it was covered with a dark green tarpaulin.

The Qing people are not keen on transforming the terrain and paving roads, but devote their energy to how to improve the efficiency of moving on the slopes of mountains and forests.

Building bridges and paving roads will lose the defensive advantage of the divine mountain and natural moat. It is better to vigorously develop vehicles suitable for mountain and forest terrain.

"Mountain Walker" is the product of this concept. Developed and manufactured by Chongshan Industry, a large number of equipment are used in the Shenshan garrison.

The Mountain Walker is positioned as a personnel vehicle, with six huge mechanical arthropods, raising the cabin above the tree canopy, and flexibly walking between the mountain and forest slopes.

Walk.

The cabin is rectangular and can accommodate two twelve-man squads, including the driver. In terms of shape, it looks like a long-legged beetle, so it is also known as "long-armed long-armed beetle".

Under the setting sun, countless mountain walkers emerged from the sea of ​​trees, waving huge mechanical limbs and slowly moving towards the windy valley below the mountain.

Behind the main force, a golden mountain walker walked among the mountains. There are more than ten mountain walkers around, and there is a faint sense of guarding.

On the golden deck, stood a slim figure. The curves are soft, serene and beautiful.

Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew past, carrying countless blades to the rear. The girl gently lifted her ears and pushed the tangled hair behind her ears.

The quiet temperament, clean face, and watery eyes make people think of the girl next door, the one at the same table.

It seems that all the good memories come because of her appearance.

"Princess, it's windy, go back."

An elegant old man quietly landed behind the girl, draping a ferret coat over his weak shoulders.

"I've made you worry." The girl turned her head and smiled apologetically at the elegant old man. The latter nodded slightly, indicating that it was the duty of a courtier.

"But…"

"The scenery here is beautiful, I want to stay for a while." The girl stuck out her tongue, showing a playful look.

"Don't take too long." The elegant old man said helplessly.

"Yeah~" The girl turned her head happily and looked at the sea of ​​trees under the sunset.

Looking at the pure and peaceful back in front of him, the helplessness on the old man's face was gradually replaced by pampering. Even if the other party came from an ordinary background and had no noble blood, even if there was no order from the emperor, and no responsibility that could not be shied away from, he would still be willing to live up to this old life and use everything he could to protect this beauty.

During the same sunset, Chen Xing's motorcade arrived at Sanchahe City.

"Boss, where are you going?"

Huozui asked cautiously. He knew that the boss was in a very bad mood right now, so he didn't dare to ask questions casually.

In front is the landmark building of Sanchahe City - the towering Free Trade Building. The glass wall reflects the golden afterglow, and the whole building is golden, making it more and more extraordinary.

Chen Xing looked at the building, stunned for a while, sighed inexplicably, then pointed to the other side of the road and said, "Go to the bar street."

Huo Tsui showed a strange look, and looked at Xiao Yang in the driver's seat, but the two didn't dare to say anything. The latter turned the steering wheel and drove the bus to the old and dilapidated old neighborhood.

Bar Street is a gathering place for bottom-level traders and mercenaries. In one word, it is dirty and cheap. Chen Xinggui was the prime minister, and he had not stayed in such a place for many years.

But no one dared to ask why, just listen to the boss's arrangement.
