Chapter 233: The Battle of the City (1)

The night had quietly faded away without realizing it. The sky in the distance turned white, and a trace of light came from behind the thick black clouds. It seemed that a huge god had stretched out a golden palm from the sky to disperse the evil darkness.

It's just dawn.

Under the faint sky, there is a huge city. It is said to be huge, but it is similar to a town before the catastrophe. At best, it can only accommodate 300,000 people. However, in this era, being able to own thousands of towns is already a relatively powerful force in the wilderness. Moreover, this town that can accommodate 300,000 people can indeed be called a giant city.

This is the headquarters of the Southern Military Region. It is the only force in the southern wilderness that can occupy a town. It is one south and one north of the ice field castle in the Northern Military Region, like two hideous giant beasts lying between the vast world. There are more than 100,000 soldiers alone, plus non-combatants and slaves, a total of more than 300,000 people. If a large number of troops were not fighting outside for a long time, this town would not be able to meet the problem of so many people stationed. At this time, the 100,000 troops fighting on the ice field created an empty space inside the base, giving Rising Town and the Northern Military Region an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This town is actually the base of the Southern Military Region before the catastrophe. It is about 100 kilometers away from the nearest city. It is very convenient to use the resources in the city. Before the disaster came, the Southern Military Region built a solid city wall around the base. The gray city walls tightly surrounded the base, and a defensive artillery was set up on it. Teams of soldiers patrolled in the night, revealing hazy figures. The tall and sturdy city gates on all sides were basically no way to break the city gate except for strong bombardment with artillery. The only way for Li Feng to enter the city was to enter through the city gate. Moreover, the troops of the Rising Town lurked this time, everything was carried out in secret and shadow. It was impossible to carry field artillery with great fanfare, so the heaviest weapon was just a rocket launcher, and it was impossible to attack the city gate.

Arison stood on the lookout at the city gate, leaning against the cold steel on the city wall, sitting lazily on the ground. He was about forty years old, wearing a combat uniform stained with blood and could not see his original color, holding a rifle in his arms. "Damn it, it's March, it's still so cold, I'm almost frozen to death." A cold wind of dawn came from the wilderness, and the air conditioner penetrated into Arison's combat uniform, causing him to tremble for a moment, and he couldn't help but curse, "I'd better fight a few more battles, if I could be promoted to an officer, sleepy and cold. It was the bird man in Corey who was lucky. He was on duty with me a few months ago. Who knew what luck this dog days had encountered? He inexplicably caught a spy from the northern military region. Now he crawled onto me at the head, and he didn't have to be on duty, and he could hug the women and live happily in the house."

"Just be content with you, isn't it just for the night? I'll just go there and drink a sip of wine." A middle-aged soldier named Grandet next to him gave him a blank look, picked up the bottle beside him, took a big mouthful, his face turned red after a long breath, "It's so damn good! I said, don't envy Lieutenant Corey, it's luck, and it can't be stopped when luck comes. You'd better whisper. Corey just promoted to Lieutenant Corey, and with the airs of an official, be careful to hear that you are good. Just a charge of insulting the chief is enough for you."

"Just...hum!" Arison hummed from his nose disdainfully, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, wiped his mouth casually with his dirty sleeves and said, "It's a cold day, it's a bird's night! I've stood here for a night and didn't even see a rabbit, let alone a human."

"In my opinion, it's just the fuss of the officials above. Isn't there an electronic detector around the city wall? Isn't there a camera? Just find two people to stare at the surveillance room. It's better than suffering in this cold weather. Besides, who in the wilderness dares to ask for trouble for our Southern Military Region without opening his eyes. Seeing that we are not running faster than rabbits."

"Okay, OK, stop talking, just wait and get over. Come on, have another drink." Grandet patted Alison's shoulder and said. Then he suddenly changed his face, stood up suddenly, put the gun on the city wall, and shouted loudly: "Who is it?!"

Alise suddenly felt clever. A clear sound of footsteps came from the city. At least twenty people ran towards the city gate. It was strange. Why didn't the electronic detector emit an alarm?! He reacted quickly, and immediately half-squatted, hid behind the cover of the city wall. His muzzle was facing the black shadow under the city gate, and at the same time, he dialed the light of the searchlight beside him.

"Grandt, you are your own people, don't be so nervous." Arison suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The lights were illuminated under the city walls. There were more than twenty people standing sparsely, wearing combat uniforms from the Southern Military Region. At the front was a blonde young man, covered in blood and dirty faces, just like he had just returned from the battlefield.

"Open the door! Let us in! I am Captain Madrid, and I have urgent military information to report to General Lexus! Open the door!" Before Grandet could speak, the people under the city shouted loudly, with anxiety in their tone.

"This..." Grandet couldn't help but hesitate. It was so dark that no one knew the other party's identity. He had heard of the name Madrid, but who knows the authenticity? He can't wear the combat uniform of the Southern Military Region and be his own, right?!

"You're here to watch, I'm going to open the city gate." But Arison stood up indifferently, carried the gun behind him, and walked towards the console, and was about to press the button of the city gate.

"Wait! Be careful of fraud!" Grandet was anxious and grabbed Arison's arm and said hurriedly: "How do you know that it must be your own person? What if someone wants to open the city gate? If something happens, I will be finished. You must not be able to do it before you can verify your identity!"

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. Go and verify your identity. You'll leave this trouble to you." Arison waved his arm helplessly and sat on the ground. But when Grandet turned around, he stood up silently and walked behind Grandet like a spirit cat. The cold light flashed in the darkness. The sharp knife in his right hand tightly wiped it lightningly around Grandet's neck. With a "swish", blood splattered. Grandet didn't have time to scream, and his body fell to the ground.
