Throughout the territory of the Lorraine Empire, Huming metropolis.

On the wall of Huming Metropolis, the nationwide flag of the Lorraine Empire fluttered with the night time wind.

Huming metropolis is without doubt one of the most vital cities within the northern territory of the Lorraine empire.

And the reason being easy.

As a result of it’s the headquarters of the northern protection line of the Lorraine empire!

Through the years, the British Empire has regularly launched assaults on the Lorraine Empire, and has carried out 5 large-scale assaults earlier than and after.

With the intention to higher resist the aggression of the British Empire, after the British Empire launched the “fourth assault on the South”, the Lorraine empire started to construct a northern protection line specifically used to withstand the British Empire.

It took big human, materials and monetary sources to lastly set up an enormous protection line centered on Zenger Metropolis, Anton metropolis and alchi metropolis within the northern a part of the Empire.

The truth is, when it comes to inhabitants, space and wall peak, Huming metropolis can solely be considered an odd metropolis.

Nevertheless, due to the superior geographical location of Huming Metropolis, the gap from Huming metropolis to Zenger Metropolis, onton metropolis and alchi metropolis is sort of the identical, and the gap can also be shut, so the Lorraine Empire arrange the final headquarters of the northern protection line in Huming metropolis.

Nevertheless… It is onerous to imagine that the protection of Huming metropolis is careless now. That is the headquarters of the northern protection line of the Lorraine Empire and an important metropolis of the northern protection line of the Lorraine empire

The solar had already set. Though it was already darkish, numerous troopers had been standing on guard on the wall of Huming metropolis.

Nevertheless, the troopers standing guard and on guard on the wall of Huming metropolis are listless, and even many individuals collect collectively to snort.

Nobody is significantly on guard.

“Ha…”

A small soldier with a beard standing on the wall yawned tremendously, after which stated to a companion with a beard standing subsequent to him:

“How boring! How lengthy have we been standing right here? When can I modify shifts? I am so drained to face guard… “

The bearded soldier and the bearded soldier, it is their flip to face guard on the wall tonight to protect whether or not there’s anybody close to town.

After listening to the little soldier with beard’s grievance, the little soldier with beard smiled bitterly and stated:

“Bear it. You must change shifts quickly. Bear it once more and proceed to face guard and guard.”

As quickly because the voice of the little soldier with moustache fell, the little soldier with moustache spat disdainfully, after which stated:

“What’s on guard? We’re in Huming Metropolis, aren’t we? It is the rear of the Northern Line of protection! How may an enemy come right here? If the enemy needs to return right here, at the very least they’ve to interrupt by way of the northern protection line earlier than they’ll come? I actually do not perceive the that means of our standing guard right here! It is actually humorous to protect towards enemies who cannot come right here! “

“That is proper.” As he spoke, the little soldier adjusted his standing posture and put his heart of gravity from his left leg to his proper leg, in order that his left leg, which had been bearing the load of his complete physique, may relaxation. “That is simply floor work. Floor work remains to be essential, is not it? That is additionally the headquarters of the northern protection line. If there are not any troopers on guard within the metropolis wall, it is actually not possible to say, is not it? So that you’d higher stand guard. If the crew chief finds out that you do not stand guard effectively, you need to have an excellent meal. “

After listening to the phrase “crew chief” stated by the little soldier with moustache, the little soldier with moustache shrunk his shoulders and appeared a bit of scared on his face.

Taking a look at him, he appears to be afraid of the “crew chief”.

“Lower…” the bearded soldier stated in an sad tone, “clearly, the high-level persons are not very involved in regards to the protection of Hu Mingcheng.”

After that, the little soldier with the beard put his chin down in direction of town, after which continued to say to the little soldier with the beard:

“Look! If the generals of Huming metropolis are actually involved in regards to the protection of Huming Metropolis, they need to prepare numerous secret sentries exterior town and insert numerous torches for lighting, in order that the troopers standing on the wall of our metropolis can see beneath. “

“However look exterior! There are not any secret sentries exterior town! There isn’t a torch that can be utilized for lighting! It is black paint beneath town. I am unable to see something clearly! How can we be on guard? It is so darkish that even when somebody actually comes beneath the wall, we will not discover it! “

Then the bearded soldier spat once more.

After listening to this sequence of complaints from the little soldier with beard, the little soldier with beard smiled bitterly once more and stated:

“So I stated that the protection of Huming metropolis is barely superficial work… Bear it.”

The bearded soldier isn’t the one one dissatisfied with this meaningless guard.

Presently, everybody on the wall was mainly dissatisfied with this meaningless guard.

The reason being that the generals answerable for managing Huming metropolis are too careless in regards to the vigilance of Huming metropolis.

Not solely had been there no secret sentries exterior town, however there have been no torches that may very well be used for lighting.

Even when there is no such thing as a secret sentry exterior town, it’s an excessive amount of to plug in any torches that can be utilized for lighting and prepare individuals to care for torches exterior town.

At night time, the skin of town was blackened with black paint.

If there is no such thing as a torch lighting, individuals standing on the wall cannot see the scenario beneath town!

I am unable to see what is going on on exterior town. What else ought to I be on guard?

Subsequently, the generals of Huming metropolis didn’t care in regards to the guarding of Huming Metropolis, which chilled the hearts of the troopers liable for the guarding of town.

Nearly all of the troopers liable for town’s safety have such inside actions:

Since these generals will not be fascinated about guarding town, why am I so ?

Subsequently, each guard soldier on the “night time shift” mainly seems listless. It’s tough so that you can discover somebody who’s significantly on guard.

However even if you happen to stand guard and guard rigorously, you may’t see the scenario exterior town anyway.

“Hum!” The little soldier with the large beard continued to complain, “I see, these generals will need to have the identical concept as me! I really feel that Huming metropolis is within the rear of the northern protection line and may be very protected! So there is not any must be so cautious! Even numerous troopers don’t must be stationed! I believe it is higher to place the troopers within the front-line strongholds of Zenger metropolis than to waste their troops in Huming metropolis! “

The little bearded soldier continued to smile bitterly and silently listened to the little bearded soldier’s complaints.

Simply then——

Click on.

——On the wall subsequent to the little soldier with moustache, a wierd sound got here all of a sudden.

“Huh?”

The moustache soldier gave a lightweight “um”, then barely frowned and whispered in his coronary heart:

I believe it is sufficient to have at the very least 5000 individuals stationed in Huming metropolis. In any case, Huming metropolis is the “mind” of the northern protection line. There are too few individuals left to guard the mind… Huh? Brother, what is the matter with you? “

The bearded soldier who had been chattering on a regular basis all of a sudden discovered that the bearded soldier had left his guard place with out figuring out what.

The bearded soldier instantly opened his mouth and shouted.

Nevertheless… The sentence “there is a scenario!” Earlier than he shouted out, he felt a particularly highly effective hand stretched out from behind him and coated his mouth, in order that he couldn’t make any sound.

Then, the bearded soldier felt a pointy weapon near his neck, after which made a pointy stroke
