"That's a cursed city!" The old man said this in a terrifying tone.

"Curded? What does it mean."

"The people living in that city have a strange disease. The longer they stay, the more sick they are, the more they are. The residents there either die or go crazy, or become uninhabited. The priests said that it was the inspiration of God, but no one believed it, and no one would go to worship again. They said that the priests blasphemed the gods, some said that the God of Light was dead, and some said that it was the curse left by the goddess of darkness. Now that the city is deserted, only the priests still live in it, and there are some madmen who believe in the priests' nonsense."

The old man's voice gradually became low, and he sighed a little: "Thousands of years ago, there was the center of the continent of Viruya, the city of light, and the place where the kings met. Now only we poor farmers would occasionally send some food. My son was cursed because he had been servants of the priests for two years, and he didn't know how long he could live."

The old man said sadly, but his expression was unchanged, which was a numbness to life.

"Is your son that person?" Xia Yu pointed to a man with a scarf and a hunched back.

The man kept looking at the old man, his eyes evasive.

The old man nodded and looked at the man with a sad look, "He is my son."

Xia Yu waved, "Come here and let me see."

The man walked over, took off the scarf from his face, revealing his nearly festered skin. His face was pale, his eyes were deep, and he looked like he was about to die at any time.

Xia Yu winked at the dragon cavalry, and the dragon cavalry nodded, and raised his hand to purify it.

A white light flashed, and the man was stunned at first, then suddenly straightened his waist, "Hey, I feel much better, I'm better! I'm better!" He screamed excitedly, not at all like he was sick.

Everyone around was stunned.

The old man was surprised and happy, and knelt down all of a sudden and kissed the dragon rider's feet, "Thank you, thanks to the great messenger, miracle, this is a miracle!"

The dragon cavalry was startled and hurriedly helped him up, turning to a little happy.

Xia Yu struck while the iron was hot, "Old man, we are the messengers of the God of Light. We are about to go to the Holy City of Kale to cure the curse there, purify the disease there, and tell people this news. If any of you are sick, you can go there to wait for treatment. If you want to witness the return of the God of Light, go there together."

The old man quickly replied, "I will go back to convey this news now and will definitely call everyone to go to Kale City to make a pilgrimage."

The old man was about to leave, when the black cat suddenly asked, "About Kalai City, about the God of Light, is there a legend or prophecy?"

The old man nodded, "There is indeed a legend. Thousands of years ago, the God of Light and the God of Dark came to the world. The God of Dark wanted to put the world into eternal darkness, but the God of Light opposed her doing so, so the two gods started a war.

In the end, the God of Light defeated the Goddess of Darkness, but he also received a heavy blow. In order to protect his believers, the God of Light dug out his heart and placed it in the holy city, and thus released eternal light to shine on the world and prevent the arrival of the Dark Age.

The Dark Goddess was exiled forever and was expelled from this world.

But the goddess of darkness never wants to come back. She vowed to destroy the heart of light. Once the heart of light is destroyed, the sun will fall and the world will fall into eternal darkness, with no hope and no future.

The God of Light also left a prophecy, saying that one day someone will understand the purpose of the Heart of Light. At that time, the Heart of Light will take people to God's world.

But the priests have studied it for thousands of years, but they have not found any evidence."

When Xia Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky, thinking that this was too irritating.

Can the Heart of Light be related to the Sun? Isn’t the game introduction saying it is an energy source?

Xia Yu waved at the old man and took everyone back into the car.

He glanced at the black cat and asked curiously, "How did you know there would be legends and prophecies?"

The black cat smiled proudly: "There are always legends and prophecies like this, and they usually hide important information, and they are related to the main plot. This is used to attract people to explore secrets and find the truth of the story. It is an old routine.

I think I know how to play this game." Black Cat said excitedly.

The reconnaissance car set off again and soon caught up with the convoy in front. Not long after, the convoy arrived at the plain outside the city of Kale and stopped outside the marked castle.

The turret has a circle of walls and the wooden gate is barely considered strong, but it was easily broken under the bombardment of the rocket launcher. The platoon leader who was standing in front led people to drive out the people in the turret out.

"Who are you? This is the farm of the temple! How dare you be rude!" A middle-aged man in the head said with anger, but he did not dare to take action. The terrible steel chariots outside, the strange weapons in the hands of these strange men, and the explosion just now, made them dare not act rashly.

A big dog suddenly roared and rushed up, and the platoon leader raised his hand and shot it.

Looking at the whimpering dog on the ground, everyone was frightened.

"If you don't want to die like this dog, then leave quickly, the place has been requisitioned." The row of leaders said with a expressionless face. After all, they were from the civilized world, but they were not killed.

The middle-aged man hurriedly left with a group of servants and servants. The platoon leader immediately assigned tasks to his subordinates, mounted the machine gun to the tower of the fort, and set up a position behind the fort with his own mortar. Ammunition and material were also moved down and transported to the yard.

"Hurry up, guys, we're going to fight." The platoon leader shouted loudly, and he had to do it himself.

The position was arranged in an orderly manner. Although the Expeditionary Force lacked heavy weapons, there were many machine guns. Each squad had a general machine gun, a fire support squad and heavy machine guns. In addition, the machine guns and machine guns on the chariots were used, the number of machine guns in the entire Expeditionary Force exceeded 60.

In addition, there are more than a dozen small-caliber mortars and a large number of rocket launchers.

In a moment, this simple little earthen fort was armed into a deadly fortress.

The ammunition transport truck unloaded the material and carried out two more transportations. This tracked transport vehicle could transport more than ten tons of material at a time. Ammunition and food soon piled up the walls of the earthen castle.

By the way, another company of infantry was brought over. When the lieutenant colonel and his command members stood on the tower of the castle, the cavalry of the Dark Empire had already appeared on the distant horizon.

These cavalry did not attack rashly, and immediately retreated when they found that the situation was wrong. The lieutenant colonel did not order fire. Although it could be hit at such a long distance, the hit rate was not high, so there was no need to waste ammunition for such a few enemies.

He stepped up the time to arrange his positions, cleared shooting obstacles, transported ammunition and personnel, and the drone kept reconnaissance. Feihu and Ergouzi were always following him and witnessed the arrival of the battle with their own eyes. Soon the position became quite large.

Although the troops were only 400, the position arranged was very wide, with dozens of firepower points covering each other in front as front positions.

The middle section is a concave line of defense composed of fences and sandbags.

Finally, a core defense area was built with the earthen castle as the center. A set of fire support was arranged on the high ground behind the earthen castle and on the outer high ground of the passage placed on the side and back.

A large number of anti-infantry landmines were arranged, and several barbed wires were also pulled up. Arranged at key positions can effectively delay the cavalry's charge.

The crops were burned directly to avoid blocking the shooting world. Throughout the daytime, the expeditionary forces were busy building their own defense lines.

Lieutenant Colonel named it the Sanchez Line of Defense.

The lieutenant colonel also explained his strategic ideas to the consultants, using the peripheral stronghold to consume the enemy's troops and offensives, the middle-level concave defense line blocked the enemy, killed a large number of active forces, and blocked the enemy in the second line of defense as much as possible.

The core defense zone is the last evacuation point. At worst, the enemy attacks the core defense zone, so we have to prepare for retreat. There are four ammunition transport vehicles, four self-propelled mortars and reconnaissance convoys, which are enough to withdraw most of the soldiers. Of course, in that case, the materials in the fort will have to be detonated and given up.

This is the worst outcome that the Expeditionary Force can accept.

"If we are lucky, we can block the enemy on the second line of defense, and wait until their morale is low to counterattack with mobile troops as vanguards, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." Lieutenant Colonel's final summary.

At night, more cavalry appeared, but the main force of the Dark Empire Army stopped more than ten miles away. There was no way. The marching speed of the ancient army was very limited. It was a distance of fifty kilometers, and it took a day to walk. It seemed that the decisive battle could only wait until tomorrow.
