"Ahh

A titan-like roar echoed through the air, and a stone pillar weighing several tons rose up, lifting its bloy naked. Every muscle in his body was as angular as steel, and he carried the stone pillar out of the quarry and towards the base. The dozens of soldiers in the back stopped what they were doing, whistled and cheered, shouting Bloy's name.

"Isn't it just a little more powerful? The big man is out of the limelight, but my Uncle Willik is not a vegetarian either. Willik shouted, reaching out and grabbing the boulder on the ground, only raising it a little higher with all his strength.

Alan next to him shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own strengths, why do you have to compare your strength with Bloy." ”

As the ranks progressed, the disagreement between Willik and Bloy became more and more apparent. The highlander Bloy has shown his strength-focused attacking nature, while Willik tends to be nimble in grappling and explosive, as evidenced by the path of ability they have developed.

Alan and the others had changed into military uniforms, wearing workers' canvas suits and safety helmets on their heads, looking like workers working in a quarry. More than two months have passed, and they blew up the mountain to quarry the stones, and then transported the stones back to the base. Now, the base has taken shape. Allen's officers also played the role of sappers like other soldiers, and even Lucy was involved in the deployment of the base's weapons systems.

It can be said that this forward base embodies the efforts of these people.

In another month, the base will not need to mine stone. What was needed was the improvement of the various facilities and the reinforcement of the most important defensive positions.

In the end, Willik gave up his strength with Bloy, and obediently and Alan took a car to transport the quarried stone back to the base. Outside the quarry was a wasteland, and when they first arrived, there were dangerous species everywhere. Now, however, the road to the base has been replaced by transport trucks. Sentry posts along the way ensure that the convoy will not be harassed by dangerous species.

There was no order in the barren lands, but after the arrival of Eren and the others, this order was gradually being established.

The sand and gravel pavement is definitely not comfortable for trucks to drive on. When people are in the car, they will constantly bump with the car, but there is no road, this road is completely blown out of the mountains by sappers, and then paved with sand and gravel. It's the power of the creation of zào, and Alan was involved in the whole process, and that experience of starting something from nothing is still touching to think about today.

Now he could feel Horn's pride somewhat.

With his own strength, he led Bescord to push the family's prestige to the peak. The process is like opening a road, relying entirely on blood, sweat and perseverance, to forge a path to the peak from scratch.

At the end of the sandstone foot, three defensive walls can be seen appearing on the horizon from low to high. There are enough three layers of defensive walls, so that the firing points can be set up more intensively. Moreover, the spacing between the walls, even if the enemy successfully breaks through, can play a certain role as a buffer. Behind the defensive wall are four watchtowers, which have just been built and are still visible in grayish-white rough stone. The flag of the Thunderfire Base is planted on the watchtower, and when the Queen of Rose takes over, the flag will be replaced.

When Alan and the others arrived at the defensive outer wall, Lucy was helping to install a heavy artillery battery on the No. 3 high wall. Although the four defensive heavy guns pulled from the Thunderfire Base were gunpowder weapons, Lucy readjusted their firing components, so that the firing frequency of the heavy artillery was increased to a certain extent, and the power of the heavy artillery was also indirectly increased.

The truck drove through three arches and entered the plaza inside the base. The truck stopped, and its own soldiers were responsible for unloading the stones from the truck. Alan jumped out of the car and looked towards the base. The base was busy, most of the buildings had entered the final stage of capping, and all kinds of engineering equipment were roaring, which made the soldiers have to shout loudly to be heard.

No matter what the site, the two basic needs of water and energy have to be addressed, and the energy side is easier to solve. An energy base station has been built in the base of the equipment that has been transported from the Tongguò Thunderfire Base, and the burial of various cables has also been completed. When the base facilities are completed, the power supply will be connected, but there will be some problems with the water supply. It took nearly two months for the team to find an underground water source hundreds of kilometers from the base, and they had to bury underground pipes through Guò to divert the fresh water to the base's water storage unit. After a series of filtration procedures, it can become a safe base water.

At present, the underground pipeline has entered the formal construction stage, and it is not a small project to lay nearly 100 kilometers of underground water pipes. At present, the water supply of the base is all supported by thunder and fire and several water trucks that continue to transport water directly from the water source hundreds of miles away.

In fact, the nearly three months of construction of the forward base were the harshest period of time that Alan had spent on the Underworld Star. Among them, the most surprising thing for him was Lucy. The royal daughter of the Adawa family followed him for three months in this environment, and even though Alan had tried his best to arrange her living environment better, it was still a thousand times worse than her life in the royal family.

Lucy did not complain in the slightest, and devoted herself to the arrangement of the weapon system in the best condition every day, which also won the respect of the soldiers in the base.

"Alan!"

Peter walked over wearing a hard hat, and the lieutenant was not only involved in the construction work, but also took charge of the defense of the base, which was much more than Alan's. His face was covered with dust, but the lazy smile remained. It seems that nothing can be placed on Peter's heart, but the necklace that has been given to Alan to wear on his body tells him that this man also has a side that is not well known.

Burying his homesickness deep in his heart, Peter works with the soldiers as if nothing happened. Only when he was alone, Alan could see his far-reaching gaze, which seemed to have passed through the endless sea of stars and cast on his distant family.

Alan greeted him, and Peter leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You come with me, we seem to have a guest coming." ”

"Guest?" Alan frowned.

"It's the one who spreads death, hey, I'm not that hospitable, so I've got you to say hello." Peter said.

Alan came to the watchtower facing the direction of the Dead Star Abyss and looked through the binoculars. On the abyssal side, the two main combat vehicles were lined up, with their muzzles facing the base, and the death propagation pattern paint on the chariot made Alan frown. At this time, an off-road vehicle began to drive up the trestle and drove in the direction of the base. Alan's gaze shifted to a person in the car.

"Is that him?" Alan whispered.

Peter was smoking a cigarette next to him, and when he heard this, he casually asked, "Who?" ”

"Major Luda. A guy who doesn't like much. Allen's tone turned cold.

Peter chuckled dryly, and he read something in Alan's tone. The lieutenant took down his cigarette and said, "I'll go and get people ready, and greet this officer well." ”

Ten minutes later, Alan met Major Luda in a makeshift office. The major, who secretly informed Russon of the information about the firefighter/gun, and later wanted to confiscate the Allen source device without permission, strode into the office under the escort of two soldiers. He looked around with a frown, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and said, "The environment here is really bad. ”

"Of course it's not as comfortable as the Shadow Fortress, I haven't seen you for a long time, what is the wind that blew Major Luda here?" Alan asked directly.

Luda looked around, his eyes swept over the faces of Bloy and Willik, and finally stopped at Lieutenant Peter. He laughed dryly, then looked at Allen and said, "General Rusen heard that our border army suddenly ran to the barren land, which made the general very puzzled. The barren land is far beyond the borders of our theater of operations, and what is even more strange is that it is General Merlin who mobilizes the border army. So the general asked me to come here, after all, the border army is a unit under the establishment of our legion. If General Merlin needs them to do something, it would be better for us to supervise it, so as to save these disobedient things from ruining General Merlin's business. ”

"Come forward to supervise." Alan smiled lightly and said, "Then what kind of supervision law does Major Luda mean?" ”

"From now on, I will naturally take over the affairs of Qiē here. Now in the base, I have the highest military rank, Allen, and I am ...... Oh no. Now it's time to call you a second lieutenant, and the second lieutenant is to report back to me. After that, you have to leave or stay, and listen to it. Luda said, tilting his chin.

This is equivalent to months of hard work of everyone, and there is nothing left to give up to the spread of death. Suddenly, except for Alan and Peter, the faces of several other officers changed. Alan asked unhurriedly, "Is this Major Luda's own will, or is it General Russen's order?" ”

Luda's tone turned cold, "What do you mean, second lieutenant?" ”

"First, the construction of the forward base was ordered by General Merlin, and if Death Spread takes over, we will have to see with our own eyes the order from the Queen of the Rose. Second, this is what we all have spent months working to build, does Major Luda think we're going to give it up with just a word or two from you? Alan took a step forward and said, "So now, I would like to ask Major Luda to go back." If you want to take over this base, ask General Russen to negotiate with the Queen of the Rose, and ask General Merlin to give the order! ”

Luda's face changed, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous! A mere second lieutenant dared to contradict me. Lieutenant Peter, I order you to disarm these men and detain them all! ”

Peter stood there lazily and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I think you're mistaken, this is not a place where death spreads. ”

Seeing that Peter was unmoved, Luda surprisingly did not get angry, but calmed down. He sneered and nodded: "You are disobedient, I hope you will figure out your position and take responsibility for your words and deeds today." ”

Then he looked at Alan and said, "Second Lieutenant, do you know what you're doing?" The ranks of the Federation are not decorations, and I can become a major because of all scheming. If you insist on not cooperating, according to Article 17 of the Federal Field Law, I can completely put you to death and ban your command! ”

"Or do you think I don't have that ability?" R527
