712.Murphy's Law is once again perfectly performed in the Brass Fortress~ (page 1/2)
The Brass Fortress is blockaded by unknown forces.
It seemed that communication from here to the outside world was completely blocked overnight, and smoke clouds like sea fog floated around the entire Gorgon Pass. It would not hurt anyone, but just entering it would be like walking into a maze..
On the first day of this blockade, the elven rangers sent out scouts to try to get through the smoke, with very disappointing results..
they can't get out.
It would always go around and back to the blocked area from the same side. After several attempts, such an operation was stopped by the top management. Even missing a few people was not the most terrifying thing. What the commanders were most afraid of was These scouts will bring other "things" out of the smoke.
The people who gathered to defend the gnolls in the Brass Fortress were all elite soldiers. These people had extraordinary experience. Lord Paying in Port Shard said that he had seen similar things in the Sea of Mists. The Elf Ranger General Felosia... Ms. Emma Gill has actually seen the same fish-man evil thing..
Not just her, the commander of the Songhai people here, "Priest Lieyang" Wumeng, also knows a lot about this thing..
They have always believed that the appearance of these smokes represents the presence of evil forces lingering around. Although it is not stated explicitly, everyone actually knows that this is the work of the shadows of the subspace..
Whether they are elves or Songhai people, they all belong to the kind of immortal species that are particularly capable of living. Their kingdom camp knows a lot about subspace, but just like the villain is called in a certain world, who in the normal world would That disgusting and dangerous name is on my lips.？
And the most important thing is that the relationship between the elves and the Songhai people has never been good, and it can even be said to be close to hostility..
The owner of the Brass Fortress and the Supreme Lord of the Brass Dwarves, Hadran Earthhammer, did not even dare to arrange the two groups together, lest they fight first. In this case, let alone sharing intelligence, no Giving the wrong guidance has already been a big help..
But it’s a pain for the human defenders in the Brass Fortress..
This group of short-lived human soldiers didn't know much about subspace. After everyone else had understood the current situation, they were still kept in the dark, and no one came to explain to them. The human soldiers became more and more anxious..
Especially when the Brass Fortress has been closing its doors and implementing martial law in recent days, ordinary soldiers being ordered to stay in the barracks are almost like being placed in solitary confinement..
The commanders of both sides have been trying their best to appease the soldiers. The only good news is that the two human legions are truly elite and highly organized. They also know their responsibilities and risks in the Brass Fortress, so they have not yet caused a large-scale uprising. chaos.
But if things continue like this, things may start to change again..
On the seventh day of martial law in the Brass Fortress, a dwarf guard came to inform the commanders of the two armies to go to the throne room for discussion. This made Brigadier General Padru of the Plantagenet Kingdom and Major General Misoyan of the Nordtov Kingdom Immediately realize that things may have changed again.
Logically speaking, the Plantagenets and the Yankees have never been friends, but in this situation, both sides are at least humans, and they have a unified stance when communicating with foreign races, so they followed the dwarf guards on their way to the throne room. , the two generals began to communicate privately.
“These foreigners don't regard us as trustworthy companions at all！”
Major General Misoyan touched his well-kept mustache and whispered to Brigadier General Padre, who was wearing a knight's armor next to him.：
“They all know what the damn smoke is about outside. When my guards went out for a walk, they heard the elves hiding together and whispering. But you see, it’s been a week and no one has come to explain it to us. This matter and the current situation.”
“Who says it's not?？”
Wearing a knight's armor and holding a helmet, Brigadier General Padreux, who has short blond hair, is younger and more outspoken. He is obviously very dissatisfied with the treatment of himself and the soldiers, so he responded in a deliberately rough voice.：
“Next to our barracks is the dwarves' infantry camp. I can hear them preparing every night when I go to bed. The noise makes me unable to sleep at all. I sent someone to ask, but the other party told me that there was no military operation at all..
This is a fool！
If you don't want us humans to stay here, wouldn't it be better not to let us in in the first place? This attitude is as annoying as this city that is always restless. If I had known that we would suffer this kind of sin here, we should have responded to the invitation of the famous third lord and went to the residence of the Knights of the Blood Alliance. help.
Maybe you can get better treatment?.”
“Gee, are you talking about Yvette Riad, Lord of Cappadocia?？”
Major General Misoyan glanced at his foreign counterpart with a strange look in his eyes, and he complained in a low voice：
“That lord is indeed living a good life, but did she actually invite you too?？”
“？”
Brigadier General Padre was shocked when he heard this, and exchanged glances with the Yankee Major General. Then the two men sadly discovered that their fantasy of being immersed in their "masculine charm" was ruthlessly exposed by the cruel reality at this moment..
The third lord of the blood alliance probably didn't invite them because of their charm. He originally thought he was a sea king, but after a long time, he was not even a fucking water ghost! Most of them belong to the category of "drug residue".
blanch！
When the two generals were in a state of silent embarrassment, the dwarf guard leading the way quietly replied:：
“Brigadier General Padre, you did not receive wrong information. There is no infantry battalion of our dwarves next to your barracks. It is a warehouse and utility room. No one deceived you.！
Maybe you are hearing hallucinations?？”
“impossible! Every night there is the sound of soldiers running and armor clashing. I have been in the army for more than 30 years and it is impossible to distinguish this sound..”
The brigadier general of the Plantagenet Kingdom obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He still felt that the dwarves were fooling him..
But Major General Misoyan, who was younger, older, and more experienced, narrowed his eyes. He reached out and pulled the slightly irritable Brigadier General Padru, indicating that he should remain silent for now..
The two human generals quickly passed through the dwarf trading area, which had been desolate due to martial law, and arrived at the throne room..
What surprised them was that even though the fortress was under martial law and the dwarf trading area was deserted, the noise and hustle and bustle of this mountain fortress still did not improve much, making people wonder where these noisy sounds came from.？
The surrounding dwarves seem to have long been accustomed to the strange situation in their city, and they are indifferent to it..
The throne room was already filled with senior commanders from the fortress. The two human generals were the last to arrive, but no one expressed dissatisfaction..
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lord Hadran, who was sitting at the top, waved his hand haggardly, signaling the meeting to begin..
The silver dwarf earth priest next to him immediately stood up from his chair and said loudly：
“I invite you here today to discuss how to deal with the fog woven by the subspace atmosphere outside the fortress, as well as the increasingly wild spies and attacks by the jackals on the Gorgon Pass this week..”
“etc.！”
the human commodore said loudly：
“Before discussing, could you please explain the current situation to us poor humans? What is the mist woven by the breath of subspace? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance?？”
“Um？”
This question made the Supreme Lord dumbfounded. Lord Hadran said in surprise.：
“Are you two kidding me? We have had three meetings in the past seven days, and you two attended each time and made many constructive comments, etc.! You said it was your first time coming to the meeting？”
“Damn, something happened.”
Major General Misoyan rubbed his brows with a headache, and explained：
“This is indeed the first time that Major General Padre and I have been invited to attend a military meeting. We have been staying with our soldiers for the past seven days. So I am very curious about who you held the three meetings with.？”
