Doomsday Totem

Chapter 233 Demons
This trapezoidal fortress has five floors, with the first floor being the largest and the top floor being the smallest.Half of the space on the first floor is used as a material warehouse and mecha repair shop, while the other half is used as a dormitory area for soldiers.

Accompanied by Arnold, Tie Slag led Qin Ke'er and Mu Qianhe into the dormitory area.Standing at the entrance and looking, there is no room divider here, and there are three-story canopy beds neatly arranged in the large space of Nanuo.Next to each canopy bed are three lockers, three small desks and three four-legged stools.At this time, most of the soldiers were out on duty, and the dormitory area seemed very empty, with only a dozen scattered people staying here.Some of them rested on the bed, some sat at the desk to write and draw, some sat on the edge of the bed in a daze...

After visiting the dormitory area, the four of them walked up the double staircase in the middle of the fortress to the second floor.There are narrow and long passages everywhere here, and looking inward, there are metal doors on both sides of the passage.Arnold then introduced that this is the dormitory area for low-level officers and psychic warriors.Walking around in the corridor, most of the doors are closed.Arnold said that there used to be many Templars from the Dawn Expeditionary Army living here, but now they have all evacuated, leaving many places vacant.

Afterwards, the four came to the third floor of the fort.This is the rest area of ​​Tyre Fortress. The decoration is very chic. The dining tables and chairs are made of original wood, giving it the atmosphere of a bar.In addition to tables and chairs, there are billiard tables, retro wooden speakers, dart discs, pinball machines and other entertainment facilities.At this time, there were many people in the rest area, some were eating, some were playing cards, and some were yelling around the pinball machine.

When Mu Qianhe and Qin Ke'er walked by, everyone looked sideways and looked over.However, when they saw Arnold, they immediately looked away.After all, this is a front-line war zone, and an overly frivolous move may lead to severe reprimand.

After leaving the rest area, Tie Slag and the others came to the fourth floor.Arnold said that there are nine large suites and an office here, which are the office space for the head of the Fortress of Tyre and the rest area for VIPs.Currently there are three people living in the VIP area, namely Daniel, the fortress' politician, and two mining investors.Since Desert No. [-] contains a large amount of metal mines, spirit stone mines, and black oil, the main purpose of humans occupying this place is to mine ores and then transport them back to the world of Silver City.Therefore, mining investors are permanently stationed in the fortresses of various places, so that they can be mined in time after discovering new mineral resources.

Then, Arnold pushed open a door and brought Iron Slag and the two women into the office of the fortress chief.This is a large room of more than [-] square meters, and the decoration inside is quite luxurious.There is an office area composed of a large desk and several mahogany bookcases, a reception area composed of six couches, a large coffee table and four corner cabinets, and a log bar in the corner and six wine cabinets. small pub.

Afterwards, the four of them sat down in the reception area.Arnold said while making coffee.The fifth floor is the military command center of the fortress, and the upper level is the shooting platform of the "behemoth" heavy artillery.In addition, there is a three-story low building connected to the city wall on the southeast side of the fortress. The first floor is an ammunition depot, and the second and third floors are dormitories for miners and logistics personnel.

After introducing the general situation of Tyre Fortress, Arnold poured a cup of coffee for the head of Sacha and the two women, and then reported.The three Dawn Expeditionary Teams originally stationed here will all evacuate within six hours. At present, including the Wolf Clan Legion, three academy legions have arrived at the fortress, and three more legions will settle in later.

Because it is on the edge of the human-controlled area, war can break out at any time.In addition, three hundred kilometers to the north of the fortress, there is a gathering place of the "Elta tribe".The Alta tribe is a close relative of human beings, also known as the "demon tribe", which originated from the Alpha plane.They are generally burly and muscular, with adult males reaching a height of three meters.According to scientists' speculation, the Alta family is another branch of ancient humans.As early as tens of thousands of years ago in the Middle Ages, they used some mysterious summoning technique to open the gate of the plane and migrated to the Alpha plane.However, after tens of thousands of years of evolution, their technology is still in the barbaric era, but their body structure has undergone tremendous changes.

Alta people can absorb a variety of metal elements, have extremely tough skin and steel-like bones.Their muscle strength far exceeds that of humans, and they are good at fighting with cold weapons.Moreover, their mastery of psychic energy is no less than that of bees, ants, and insects. They can use "secret methods" to pour psychic star sand into flying spears, and then use their powerful explosive power to throw them out. The power is astonishing.

In Desert No. 300, the humans of the Silver City world and the Eltas maintain a neutral relationship "relative to the swarms of bees and ants". Sometimes, they even cooperate to fight against the swarms of bees and ants.However, since the ultimate goal of both parties is to collect resources, various small conflicts and conflicts occur from time to time.But for now, the former person in charge of the Fortress of Tire maintains a relatively friendly relationship with the general of the Demon Race in the gathering place. In addition, the two places are more than [-] kilometers apart, so there is very little friction between the two sides.Arnold suggested that try to maintain the original diplomatic relations with them, and occasionally conduct transactions.It's just that the social relations of the demons are different from that of humans. They like to go straight to the point and only believe what they see and hear with their own eyes. They cannot conduct diplomacy through the recommendation and guarantee of the previous person in charge.

Then, Arnold reported on the defense status of the fortress, staffing and other issues.Qin Ke'er listened carefully while taking notes...

About two hours later, three logistics officers brought Wang Hu, Bai Xiaoyun and others to the office and reported on the placement of the Wolf Clan Corps personnel.At present, Wang Hu and others are placed on the second floor, ordinary marines are placed on the first floor, and logistics personnel are placed on the other side of the low building.

Afterwards, Tie Slag asked Arnold to take Wang Hu, Bai Xiaoyun and others around to familiarize themselves with the situation of the fortress.

After everyone left, Tie Slag sat alone on the couch, looking at the luxuriously decorated, spacious and bright office, he couldn't help exhaling deeply.Recalling that three years ago, he was still living in a house made of wood blocks and shipping containers, but now he is sitting in this luxurious office.The change like a horse watching a flower makes him can't help but sigh, the white clouds are green and the world is impermanent.

On the way here, he consulted a lot of information and gained a basic understanding of the interests of human beings in the fifth desert.

From the perspective of division of labor, there are probably three kinds of people here.The first type is combat personnel, ranging from individuals to large legions, whose main task is to occupy and protect the territory; the second type is investors, who are responsible for a series of businesses ranging from prospecting to mining, to transporting and protecting mines, etc. Activities and even acts of war; the third is workers, engaged in mining, construction, transportation and other work.The positioning of the Academy Legion is to be a combat organization employed by various investors.

"Dudu...dudu..."

While thinking, his communication rang.After connecting, a clear voice came from over there.

"Commander, good afternoon." Eva Green greeted.

"Boss, good afternoon." Tie Slag responded.

"How's it going over there?" she asked.

"I just arrived three hours ago, so I'm not sure yet." Tie Slag answered truthfully.

"Later, I will arrange for the financial officer Daniel to report to you the financial situation of the fortress. He is a conservative old nobleman. Apart from being stubborn, he is actually quite nice." Eva Green called him calmly. vaccination.

"Hmm..." While answering, Tie Slag couldn't help but frowned.So far, he hasn't really dealt with the Silver City nobles, and doesn't understand their way of speaking and their values.

And while Tie Slag was talking with Eva Green, not far from Tyre Fortress, three small noble heads of the Academy Alliance got together.

"It's coming soon, what do you think?" asked Edward Southey.

"What else can we do? We just need to do our part." One of the group leaders replied.

"That's the only way to go." Another group leader echoed.

"Do you think that Assistant Green made such a decision because of some kind of deception," Edward said.

"This is not something we should think about." "The great people have big people's thoughts, and it has nothing to do with us." The two team leaders said.

"You... what do you mean?" Edward asked with a frown.The meaning of the two regiment leaders is very clear, that is, they are going to throw an olive branch to the newly appointed head of the Tire Fortress Sa Chacha.However, they could do it, but he couldn't.Because the conflict between him and Sa Chacha is already very deep, and it cannot be eased by changing his attitude.Thinking of this, he bit his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to abandon your friends?"

"Captain Edward, you may have misunderstood, we didn't mean that..." "Yes, Captain Edward, we still support you." The two captains looked at each other and quickly explained.

"Friends, we should advance and retreat together in order to have enough power to speak." Edward reminded, "Think about what happened to Alan Rudolph, remember? He drank with us a few months ago, but What about now? His army of war beasts has become someone's private property." He paused, glanced at the faces of the two, and then continued, "Think about it, once we lose our unity, we can only At the mercy of others, when the time comes..."

"Captain Edward, you are right, we should be united as one." "Yes..." the two regiment leaders echoed.

After discussing for a while, the three parted ways, each leading their teams to Fortress Tyre.

Watching the backs of the two captains leaving, Edward Soci gritted his teeth fiercely, and cursed inwardly, "They are all short-sighted trash, they deserve to be barons for the rest of their lives."
