Chapter 581 Threat from the Edge
Chapter 581
The sky is already bright, but the sky overhead is gloomy. The sun is blocked by thick clouds and can't fall at all. Although it was already dawn, the sky and the earth were still dark. The gloomy sky was depressing in any case, and the wild wind blew out from the distance, alarming the quiet vegetation and those lying on the wall.
The wind brought the smell of war songs and gunpowder smoke in the distance, and those who were lying on the wall raised their heads one after another, like dormant snakes, revealing the fierce light hidden in the bottom of their hearts. They looked out, where they were in the distance.
There are people in the distance, many, slowly coming, without the expected roar, just a silence. The heavy footsteps came from afar, and when they came to my ears, I could know how many people came just by thinking about it. The alarm in the city was sounded at the first time, and then those people stood up from their resting place and rushed to their posts.
"Is it finally going to start?" Xiu looked up at the gloomy sky above his head. Originally, he thought that Thomas's coalition would endure for another day or two, but he didn't expect that the other party would launch an attack so quickly.
Although it gave some small lessons to the leading troops, those losses were nothing to the coalition forces, and their main forces were not really damaged. Although Flem's vanguard army suffered great losses, it was Jones's intention to do it. So it seems that the lost hand at Flem's hand is just cannon fodder calculated early.
Even if he knew that he had been taken advantage of by Jones, Fran still transferred his anger to the marginal cities instead of trying to find Jones. He didn't dare to go to trouble with Jones, otherwise he would have to be skinned by Thomas. When Jones arranged for all the fronts to advance to the marginal cities together, Fland himself had first appeared outside the marginal cities with a team of 100 people.
When he just went out, he was still full of anger, but when he waited outside the marginal city, Fland returned to normal. He looked at the high walls of the marginal city and his expression gradually darkened. He has imagined the possible appearance of marginal cities many times, but he didn't expect such a situation anyway.
and modern cities are not the same style at all.
Although the marginal city was built on an existing city, the people who built the city completely abandoned the original characteristics of the city and completely followed the construction of the ancient city, and there were tower and other things on it. Moreover, the shape of the city is quite strange, giving Fland a sense of danger.
It is impossible to say that a dead object can give people a sense of danger. Fland tilted his head outside the city and thought for a long time, but did not figure out where the dangerous feeling came from. Finally, he chose to give up, or he remembered the purpose of standing outside the city early in the morning.
After clearing his throat, Fran roared, and a layer of red light erupted from his body. The tiger's eyes stared, and two feet long rainbow light spit out. After making a little noise, Fland shouted, "Listen, I'll get out of here immediately, or I won't be polite." He tried his best to be arrogant, and his tone was also very violent, just to provoke the people in the city.
Xiu saw Fland outside early in the morning, but he didn't bother to pay attention to this guy with a lack of roots. He is now just waiting for Thomas's army to surround the whole city. Originally, they still had a way out, but no one wanted to go, which would allow the coalition to completely block the route.
There are several low-flying planes hovering on the head ground. Obviously, Thomas and others are not going to launch a ground attack, but are preparing to directly use air bombardment.
"Cool, please take some people to drive away those annoying flies." While talking, Xiu took out his ears and stood on the wall with a careless look. He looked at the shouting Flan outside and said, "Whose mad dog has been barking outside for a long time?" He didn't name it, but he had scolded Fran.
Fran originally wanted to bump into luck to see if he could meet Xiu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he roared, the person he hated came out by himself and said that.
"Do you have the courage to fight 300 rounds with me?" Fland stretched out his hand and nodded his roar. The blue veins on his face jumped violently, and obviously he was completely angry when he saw Xiu.
Xiu glanced at Fland and said slowly, "I don't have that courage."
"What kind of cats and dogs dare to jump out and challenge me these days." After saying the previous sentence, Xiu paused for a moment and made up for it with a slightly low voice, but his voice was really not small, which clearly reached the ears of Flem and the more than 100 people behind him. Those people behind Fran saw Fran eating, but they wanted to laugh and didn't dare to laugh.
And those people in the city couldn't help laughing when they heard the sinister words. The laughter was very loud and obviously sarcastic. This means that it is very clear to drive Fran crazy.
If he said that his own people laughed, Fland could stop it, but there was nothing he could do if the enemy laughed. The whole face turned red like a cooked shrimp. Fran suddenly roared and punched Xiu in the air. A red light spit out and immediately turned into a firelight and attacked Xiu Fei.
Seeing that the other party launched an attack, Xiu just waved his hand carelessly and extinguished the swept fire. He looked at Fland and said, "Go back. This is not the place where you can come." What he said was very indifferent, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all.
This seemingly indifferent appearance makes Fland even more annoyed.
Jones, who was watching the battle in the distance, smiled softly and said, "The people in this city are really interesting. This man is even weirder." His words are completely talking to himself, because there is no one else here except him, and he is now watching the battle in a lively mood.
Fran knew about the battle, not only Jones, but also Thomas. But neither of them spoke to stop Fland's whereabouts. They both wanted to see what was strange about the city. Although there has been a brief contact before, and Jones has roughly seen some things, there are still too many questions in his mind that have not been solved, so he needs to observe again. And Fland is undoubtedly a very useful chess piece, at least in terms of testing the depth of the opponent.
"Let me see what you have behind." Jones looked at the picture on the screen and whispered. He suffered a loss at the hands of the white wolf before, but he remembered it very clearly. Now that the whole marginal city has been surrounded, it is time to slowly torture them.
Just when Jones thought so, there was a splash on the screen in front of him. The originally clear picture suddenly blurred, and then it became dark and lit up, and the picture appeared again. However, this time it appeared on the screen no longer the picture of Flem, but a complete stranger who looked like a teenager.
The teenager who suddenly appeared on the screen first knocked on the camera, and then sat down after a while in front of the camera. The teenager grinned at the camera, as if he saw Jones on this side of the screen directly through the camera. The teenager looked good when he laughed, and the two rows of neat white teeth emitted dazzling brilliance in the light.
"Can you see it?" As soon as the teenager sat down, he waved to the camera, looked quite strange to the instrument, and then grinned again.
Although he found the other party laughing, Jones felt a chill in his heart for no reason. He felt that although the person on the screen was testing whether the communication was normal, he must be able to see himself now, not just to see it. He felt a trace of chill in the other party's smile, which was from the deepest feeling.
Without responding to the words of the teenager on the screen, Jones felt that it was quite naive to respond to the words of a person on the screen. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the people on the screen to see what the teenager wanted to do.
"Do you not respond to me?" The teenager put on a rather distressed look, and then narrowed his eyes slightly like Jones, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Is it Jones? Well, I should remember correctly." As he spoke, the teenager peeked at the manuscript in his hand as if he were a cheating student. After making sure that he remembers correctly, the teenager raised his head again, looked at the camera, and followed the screen and Jones.
And Jones on the side of the screen had long been scared to death by the teenager. Although he guessed that the other party could see him, he was really scared after confirming this speculation. He looked at the teenager and wanted to determine the identity of the teenager in front of him, but unfortunately, no master in his memory could hook up with the teenager in front of him.
"You don't have to waste your time guessing who I am, and you don't know me." The teenager knocked on the camera rudely, as if to hit Jones' forehead, but he couldn't knock on Jones's head from such a long distance. "Originally, I didn't intend to talk to you, but since you insisted on starting a war, it didn't matter to us. Anyway, we have so many enemies, and it's nothing to have more of you. The teenager looked indifferent.
"Thinking that our marginal cities have never quarreled with the world, I can't figure out how you people came to trouble us for no reason. Are your heads all caught by the door?" The teenager suddenly shouted angrily, "You have the energy to go to trouble with the alliance? Did we provoke you?" Speaking of excitement, the teenager began to slap the table fiercely, and the bang sound came directly to Jones's ear through the microphone.
And Jones on the screen was already full of black lines. He didn't expect that the person who connected to his video would be such a nonsensical teenager. Although this teenager gave him some dangerous feelings, now it seems that this teenager is nothing more than that. Of course, he will not ignore the danger of teenagers because of their nonsensical behavior.
But what is the teenager's wayward behavior? Jones doesn't understand what's going to happen in the marginal city, and how can there be so many strange people in this city?
After patting the table randomly, the teenager in the screen suddenly stopped and looked at the camera with a rather plain look. If the teenager did not feel anything about being reckless at the end of the camera in that nonsense state, but once the teenager calmed down, the dangerous feeling that had just disappeared appeared on him again.
"I know what you are thinking, and I also know what you want from the marginal cities. But it's a pity that you can't get what you want, even if the whole city is destroyed by you. Since you insist on starting a war, we will accompany you to the end, but I still have to warn you that you don't think it's really safe to hide in the distance. We just don't want to take action. Do you know?" The teenager laughed softly.
When Jones heard the laughter, he only felt a burst of goose bumps all over his body, but soon he noticed something was wrong. Because the laughter just now was so real that it didn't sound like it came from the loudspeaker. He was shocked. He was about to stand up, but he felt a hand gently press on his shoulder, and then he heard the teenager's voice.
"I said that as long as we want to do something, there is nothing we can't do. In fact, we just don't want to take action. Do you really think that your coalition can destroy the marginal cities? That's too underestimated us." The teenager spoke slowly in Jones's ear, his voice was very cold, and his breath was also very cold, making people feel like falling into an ice cellar.
Jones sat stiffly in the chair and did not dare to move. He did not feel any breath behind him at all. Even if he concentrated all his spirits, he could not feel whether anyone existed behind him, but the hand on his shoulder was so real that he did not dare to move at all. He knew that as long as the teenager was willing, he could easily take his life.
A cold sweat came out of Jones' forehead. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, but since the other party did not kill him, it showed that he still had a chance to survive.
"It's really calm." The teenager sighed behind Jones, "But will you still be so calm on the day you are really defeated?" The teenager gave a low laugh.
"I hope you can hold on for a long time and wait until the day the man comes back." The teenager said slowly and vaguely expected, "At that time, you will fall into the deepest despair."
The teenager's voice disappeared for a long time before Jones dared to move again, because he found that the hand on his shoulder had been pulled away at some point. But he still sat there in a daze. He didn't know when the teenager left, and he didn't even see the teenager's face. He just made sure that the person behind him was the teenager.
But what the teenager said surprised Jones, because he didn't know what the teenager was talking about at all. Of course, he also believes that the teenager has the ability to kill himself. But why doesn't the other party do it? Jones believes that if the teenager wants to do it, even Thomas can never resist it. The ghostly hiding skills shown by the teenager alone can kill silently in thousands of troops.
Jones sat in a chair in a daze, thinking about what had just happened. The more he thought about it, the more hairy his heart became. He knows that he has provoked great people and wants to retreat, but can he still retreat at this time? Not to mention that Thomas will not let him retreat, even he is absolutely unwilling to retreat suddenly in the face of difficulties.
He stared fiercely at the screen in front of him, and the picture on it had already switched back to Fland. But at this time, Jones's mind is not on Fland at all. He must figure out what the people in the marginal cities are doing? Why did he behave so cowardly before, but now he suddenly becomes strong? He fully believed that as long as the teenager took action, I'm afraid that all the main figures of the coalition could not escape the assassination of the teenager. But the other party didn't do so. And who is the person mentioned in the teenager's mouth? Why can that man bring the deepest despair?
All the questions have not been answered, and no one will give Jones an answer. He sat in the chair for a long time, and it was not until near noon that he stood up and ran quickly towards Thomas's camp. He didn't even have time for people to prepare the car, so he rushed over.
The changes on Jones' side can't affect the situation on Fland's side. Of course, the situation on Fland's side has not changed. Flem called outside the city early in the morning, but the people in the city didn't pay attention to him at all, but were busy with other things in the city. Only practice responds to a word or two in his spare time, and every time he jumps straight to his feet.
Every time Fland's attack fell into the air and did not play any role, Xiu simply sat on the wall and looked careless at Fran jumping outside the city, with a faint cold light in his eyes. He calculated how long it would take for the army to approach the vicinity and how long it would take for Fland to withstand the attack. He felt that the coalition must have made some big moves to be so quiet all the time.
