Chapter 63 Preparations Before the Great War

Xuan Yuan came outside the dungeon.

A few kilometers away from the entrance of the dungeon, there was a small open-air market at some point.

Many adventurers set up stalls near the entrance of the dungeon to sell things. These vendors have naturally formed several streets, and some places even set up wooden frames. It seems that someone is planning to open a temporary shop here.

The most exaggerated thing is that someone has already repaired the [-]-meter-high earth-rock viewing platform, and many adventurers can be seen sitting on it, resting and chatting, and keep looking into the distance.

Below the viewing platform, someone is yelling and selling tickets to watch the game.

Continue to move forward and come near the entrance of the underground city. In just one night, a circular military fortress with a wall height of 40 meters and a diameter of about 3 kilometers has been built here.

You can see many mages holding staffs, or scholars holding crystal balls, chanting words incessantly towards the vacant city wall. Roads of soil rise from the ground out of thin air, and gradually solidify into a solid black city wall. Or draw a magic circle on the city wall, so that the city wall emits a faint fluorescence.

Around the military fortress, a large number of irregular trenches were also dug. Many guards were busy digging in the trenches. From time to time, some huge humanoid mechas could be seen shuttling back and forth between the trenches to assist in the transportation of soil.

Many flying monsters in the sky are circling high in the sky, interspersed with these flying monsters from time to time are a few modern aircraft that Xuan Yuan is very familiar with. It provides upward airflow.

In addition, you can see many guards wearing robes or holding cold weapons. They step on hoverboards or carry jetpacks, patrolling back and forth in the air in small groups.

This kind of western fantasy cold weapon and future science fiction have a strange style of painting at the same time, which makes Xuan Yuan feel a little strange.

Go beyond the trenches and come under the walls of the base.

Xuan Yuan felt a little surprised.

There are no entrances or exits built around the walls of the fortress, and the original entrance to the dungeon has been completely blocked in the center by the fortress.

It is simply not possible to enter the dungeon without entering this large fortress.

When Xuan Yuan was troubled, a six-member patrol team who was patrolling in the sky flew down from the sky and asked him:
"Is there a problem?"

"This place will soon become a frontline battlefield. It is recommended not to approach it for a few days."

"If you want to join the cleaning team formed by the guild after killing the king."

"Please wait for the official notification from the guild. A service station has been set up at the temporary market. If you want to participate, you must register first, and then wait for the official notification."

Xuan Yuan shook his head and said:
"I want to enter the dungeon."

"Chairman Harald said that I can continue to go down the dungeon."

A short guard leading the patrol team was taken aback when he heard the words, and said:

"Are you Xuanyuan?"

Xuan Yuan looked at the short guard:
"Yes, you are...?"

The short guard smiled:
"The last time you came out of the dungeon, I took you to fly to the guild and report to the branch leader."

"Can not remember?"

Xuan Yuan suddenly realized and remembered.

It's the short guard who likes to take people bungee jumping without saying a word.

"Oh! Long time no see~"

"I remembered, after all, you scared me enough at that time."

The short guard smiled, turned to his companion and said:
"I know him, you go and continue patrolling, I will take him to meet the branch leader."

The other guards nodded and continued patrolling on their skateboards.

The short soldier stepped on the skateboard, lowered his height to about 30 centimeters, moved his body forward, and signaled Xuanyuan to stand behind.

Xuan Yuan stood up cautiously. The hoverboard under his feet was all white. The structure looked very simple, but it could be suspended in the air without jetting out air.

However, it is a bit wobbly when suspended, a bit like the feeling of being on a boat, and it doesn't feel very safe.

The short soldier said:
"Grab the shoulders, hold them still, let's go!"

After all, the hoverboard suddenly rose from the ground, flew over the city wall, and rushed towards the inside of the fortress.

Xuan Yuan had already made mental preparations in advance.

The center of gravity is very stable, and the hand is also firmly grasped, so it is not frightened by the opponent's sudden acceleration.

Looking down from a height, this military fortress is formed by a circle of tall concentric walls, which expand outwards layer by layer.

There are trenches and defensive positions between each city wall, and there are guard squads stationed and patrolled on the city wall, forming a buffer line of defense.

In the middle of the military fortress is the entrance to the underground city, and a large tent is scattered around it.

Bringing Xuan Yuan down from the sky.

The short guard put the skateboard on his back, turned around and said:

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and ask for instructions first."

After all, he walked into the tent area alone.

Not long after, I saw a short guard walking out with a silver badge:

"President Harald didn't sleep all night last night, and he is currently making up for sleep, so it's inconvenient to disturb him."

"Fortunately, Lieutenant Perseus is still awake. He asked me to give you this silver badge that allows you to come and go freely."

"If you wear this badge on your chest, you can freely enter and exit the dungeon."

Xuan Yuan nodded, thanked him for taking the badge, and asked suddenly:

"Where's Captain Thorfinn? Did he come out yesterday?"

The voice of the short guard suddenly became low:
"Captain Thorfin, there is no news until now."

Xuan Yuan listened.

For a while, I could only be silent, not knowing what to say.

The short guard sighed:
"No way, the dungeon looks like this."

"Sometimes, luck is even more important than strength, just get used to it."

"Be careful when you go in, don't make the same mistake as Captain Thorfinn, you must run early when it's time to run."

Xuan Yuan nodded:

"Thank you, when fighting monsters, you must also pay attention to safety!"

The short guard smiled.

Without speaking, he stepped on the floating board and turned to leave.

When the other party walked away, Xuan Yuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask the other person's name.

Shake his head.

When we meet next time, be sure to ask for his name, he is also a very interesting person.

Wear the badge on the chest, after the guard guarding the entrance of the dungeon sees the badge.

Without even asking, he put Xuan Yuan in directly.

Entering the dungeon, Xuan Yuan patted his chest.

Little Paji, who was completely full of sleep, came out lazily from his arms.

Standing on Xuanyuan's shoulder, holding the few pieces of iron ore that Xuanyuan bought for Xiao Paji in the morning, he gnawed on them bit by bit.

The basement is still the same.

Nothing has changed, except that no other adventurers can be seen.

Along the way, the other slimes didn't avoid Xuan Yuan any more when they saw Xuan Yuan, they all jumped up and down behind Xuan Yuan's buttocks, looking very happy.

From time to time, a slime would hold a piece of ore with its small tentacles, jump up and hand it to the little Paji on Xuan Yuan's shoulder.

Facing the active tribute from subordinates.

Xiao Paji never refuses anyone who comes, and eats one bite at a time.

Xuan Yuan was secretly startled, feeling that Little Paji seemed to be able to eat no matter how much it was.

This made him worry about his wallet.

I have a usury of 10 gold on my body, and I have to spend money to buy equipment, learn skills, and afford food, clothing, housing and transportation. The balance of the wallet is only 3 silver and 200 copper.

I have raised such a giant gold-swallowing beast again, but I don't know if it will last.

But whatever.

Now that little Paji has followed him, no matter what, he can't make the little guy hungry.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan suddenly thought of a question:
"You are following me now, can you still be resurrected in the dungeon like before?"

"If you can't, just obediently wait for me to come back on the first floor."

Little Paji nodded first, then shook his head again.

Stretched out a pair of small tentacles, pulled Xuanyuan's collar and shook vigorously, showing that he was very strong and not afraid of anything.

Xuan Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing Xiao Paji's head.

"Let's go then! Fight with me!"

After saying that, he took out the longbow on his back.

With Xiao Paji, he resolutely entered the second basement floor.
