The guards standing on the city wall are not that sensitive to changes in light.

Especially when there are no sources of light pollution in the wasteland, most people will subconsciously avoid looking directly at strong light at night.

However, the guards on the guard tower are different.

Stand high and see far.

Three short and one long, very fast.

The rhythm of the halo scattering was very obvious, and in an instant, the Western Suburbs Alliance sent out a request for help signal not long ago.

"They are from Huo Village. It seems there are enemies chasing them?"

"Turn on the spotlights, hurry up, turn on all the lights on the city wall!"

"Don't be in a hurry to open the door, confirm your identity first, repeat, don't be in a hurry to open the door!"

"Archers, archers are ready to support!"

The guard wall, which stretched for several kilometers, echoed with the chaotic noise of the guards.

Looking at the newcomers who bumped into each other from time to time, like headless flies, the old guards who participated in the last battle to defend the city wall felt a headache.

There is no way, this is the biggest disadvantage of the territorial peace guards who have not experienced real combat.

Even if the attack and defense of the city wall had been drilled many times before, it was still difficult to perform properly in an emergency.

Fortunately, there were not many enemies in the distance. When the distance was closed, the section of the city wall facing the enemy had been organized into a simple order by Lu Zhou.

Guards holding shields stand at the front, guarding against the long-range weapons released by the opponent when attacking the city.

The guard holding a crossbow stood in the middle and pointed the shooting port in the direction in which the enemy was coming.

The figures running and chasing in front of the city wall also appeared under the illumination of high-power spotlights.

The ones running at the front were naturally the Huocun material team who had abandoned their armor.

In order to distinguish friendly forces at night, when transporting supplies at night, the outermost jacket will be replaced by a reflective vest, with a T in the middle to attract attention.

At this time, as soon as the light shines, the number can be counted immediately based on the reflection.

The standard transportation team has forty people, but now there are only eighteen people left.

Hope Village kindly lent Huo Village ten coolie lizards to pull the cart. Now the frame behind the lizards has been removed and turned into temporary mounts.

The two of them shared one car, leaving nine.

The captain responsible for transporting supplies was raising his flashlight and sending out signals for help according to the rhythm.

And the pursuers behind

"Wait a minute, why are these guys riding coolie lizards?"

Lu Zhou, who was in charge of city defense, was shocked when he saw the general shape of those black figures clearly.

As one of the first residents of the territory, he participated in the battle against Blackstone Camp that year.

Naturally, we also know the initial appearance of these lizards and their subsequent changes.

Now, although there are some differences in the body shapes of the lizards on both sides, their outlines are quite similar.

The reason why they have been unable to catch up is because the lizards they once captured from the dwarf Blackstone Camp have almost doubled in weight to over a hundred kilograms after being carefully fed by Su Chan for more than half a year.

Adequate nutrition gives the coolie lizard greater endurance, strength, and courage than before.

The chasing lizards behind them looked much thinner, and many of them were even smaller than the size of the coolie lizards when they first arrived in the territory. This caused the distance between the two sides to continue to increase.

Of course, the pursuit problem is not a simple mathematical problem.

It also involves factors such as wind speed, terrain, physical strength, and momentum.

If it were an endless wilderness, it might be difficult for the supplies team to escape the other party's pursuit.

But being able to run under the warning wall is already a certain level of safety.

"Be prepared, and fire arrows when the enemy comes within shooting range!"

In fact, there was no need to carefully observe who the enemy was. Lu Zhou's mind had automatically matched the number of the creature sitting on the lizard.

None other than those dwarves who have disappeared for a long time!

It turns out that the dwarves' territory borders Tianyuan's territory, especially since the straight-line distance between Blackstone Camp and Hope Village is less than a hundred kilometers, and it only takes a few hours for the coolie lizard to reach it at full speed.

After the New World was enlarged proportionally, a certain distance was opened between the territory and the dwarves.

Calculated at a five-fold magnification, it is approximately between 300 and 500 kilometers.

It may not sound far away, but it is already an extremely considerable strategic distance in the wasteland.

After all, the opponent's technology has not developed to the modern level and can fight across 500 kilometers without bringing any supplies.

But now, taking advantage of the Metal Sigh disaster, the vengeful dwarves finally made a comeback.

"Fire the arrow!"

The spotlight has shone on the pursuers, reflecting the ferocious dwarfs with bared teeth.

Lu Zhou shouted loudly, and dozens of guards pulled the trigger together.

Whoosh!

The rain of arrows in the sky caused ripples of light in the dark night, flying straight towards the dwarves' team.

However, what is disappointing is that the first crossbow arrow has not yet reached the dwarves.

call.

A series of blue-white light curtains suddenly rose from the dwarf, not only wrapping himself, but also the coolie lizard.

The crossbow arrows hit the light curtain, and the stalemate lasted only a second or two.

As the kinetic energy was absorbed by the light curtain, it could only fall to the ground weakly, without causing any effective damage.

"Grass!"

"Our technology has been weakened, but the abilities of these damn aliens have not been weakened!"

This is not the first time I have seen dwarves use such abilities.

Lu Zhou slapped the city wall bitterly.

What if the guards were holding not ordinary wooden crossbows, but wolf crossbows made of second-generation strong iron?

Then as long as you keep firing to trigger critical effects, you can always find an opportunity to break through the opponent's defense.

But unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.

Wooden crossbows have no special abilities and cannot have critical effects.

"Keep shooting arrows to consume their protective shield energy!"

After opening the game panel and notifying the rear of this information, Lu Zhou continued to direct the guards to shoot.

Although the power brought by the crossbow arrows could not harm the dwarves behind the mask, their speed was slowed down visible to the naked eye.

Taking this opportunity, the guards under the city wall quickly opened the door and let in the people from the material team.

"Is it Captain Zhang tonight? Why did you provoke the dwarves?"

"No, how did you meet here?!!"

The oriental face of the leader was no stranger to the guards. He was Zhang Zhishang, the current guard captain of Huocun.

It sounds strange.

Although Horsens Shelter is a shelter dominated by Western faces, even the managers are Westerners.

But their internal security guards and top military officials are all Easterners.

"Harm, brother, don't mention it. Now it's not just us, but the entire Qinggang City is going to be in big trouble!"

Finally arriving at a safe place, Zhang Zhishang wiped the sweat from his head and explained hurriedly.

In order to build up the framework of Huocun as soon as possible, a plantation capable of feeding and drinking for 40,000 people was developed.

Kevin has recently issued a death order: those who are capable will be promoted, those who are mediocre will be given up, and those who are mediocre will be dismissed.

If you can't do it, then don't do it.

If you are tired, just get out of the shelter.

This kind of order directly caused the people in the shelter to become roll kings, eager to work 24 hours a day.

Even he, the captain of the guard, had to escort supplies three times a day before he could rest.

More than ten days have passed and more than sixty back and forth without any mistakes, which has already made Zhang Zhishang feel a little relaxed.

But what happened tonight almost cost him his life.

"The dwarves you call. The dwarves have sent an army, tens of thousands of them. They want to capture the city!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing that there were tens of thousands of people, the few guards who were ready to go up to the city wall to help were instantly stunned.
