"It's a cursed city!" The old man uttered such a sentence in a frightened tone.

"Cursed? What do you mean. ”

"The people who lived in that city were sick with strange diseases, and the longer they stayed, the sicker they became, and the inhabitants of that city either died or went mad, or became inhuman, and the priests said that it was the call of God, but no one believed it, and they stopped worshipping, and they said that the priests had blasphemed the gods, and some said that the god of light was dead, and some said that it was a curse left by the goddess of darkness, and now the city is deserted, and 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 with some emotion: "Thousands of years ago, it was the center of the Vilua continent, the city of light, and the place where the kings met, but now only we poor farmers occasionally go to deliver some food, and my son, because he has been a servant to the priests for two years, has been cursed, and I don't know how long he will live." ”

The old man said sadly, but his expression did not change, it was numbness to life.

"Is your son that man?" Xia Yu pointed to a man wrapped in a scarf and bent over his waist.

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

The old man nodded, looking at the man with a sad gaze, "He is my son." ”

Xia Yu beckoned, "Come over and let me see." ”

The man walked over and took off the scarf from his face, revealing his almost festering skin, his face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and he looked like he was going to die at any moment.

Xia Yu glanced at the dragoon, the dragoon nodded, and raised his hand to make a purification technique.

The white light flashed, and the man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly straightened up, "Hey, I feel better, I'm better!" I'm all right! He screamed excitedly, not at all sick.

The people around were stunned.

The old man was surprised and delighted, and suddenly knelt down and kissed the dragoon's feet, "Thank you, thank you, thank the great angel, a miracle, this is a miracle!" ”

The dragoon was startled, and hurriedly helped him up, and then he was a little happy.

Xia Yu struck while the iron was hot, "Old man, we are the messengers of the God of Light, and we are about to go to the Holy City of Kalai to cure the curse there, purify the diseases there, go and tell the people the news, if any of you are sick, you can go there and wait for treatment, if you want to witness the return of the God of Light, go there too." ”

The old man hurriedly responded, "I'll go back and convey the news, and I will definitely gather everyone to go on a pilgrimage to Kale City." ”

The old man was about to leave, when the black cat suddenly asked, "Is there a legend prophesied about Kalai City, about the God of Light?" ”

The old man nodded, "There is indeed a legend, it is said that thousands of years ago, the god of light and the goddess of darkness came to the world, and the goddess of darkness wanted to plunge the world into eternal darkness, but the god of light opposed her to do so, so the two gods went to war.

Eventually, the God of Light defeated the Goddess of Darkness, but he himself was severely wounded, and in order to protect his followers, the God of Light dug out his heart and placed it in the Holy City, thus releasing eternal light to shine on the world. Stop the Dark Ages from coming.

And the goddess of darkness was exiled from this world for eternity.

But there is not a day that the Goddess of Darkness does not want to return, and she vows to destroy the Heart of Light, and once the Heart of Light is destroyed, the sun will fall, and the world will be plunged into eternal darkness, with no hope, no future.

The God of Light also left a prophecy in which he said that one day someone would understand the use of the Heart of Light, and at that time, the Heart of Light would take people to the world of the gods.

But the priests have studied it for thousands of years, and they have not come up with any famous research. ”

When Xia Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky, and said in his heart that this is too.

Can the heart of light still have anything to do with the sun? Doesn't the game description say that it is an energy source?

Xia Yu waved at the old man, and then led everyone back into the car.

He glanced at the black cat and asked curiously, "How do you know there will be legends and prophecies?" ”

The black cat smirked: "There will always be such legends and prophecies, and there is usually important information hidden, and it is also related to the main plot, which is used to lead people to explore secrets to find the truth of the story, the old routine."

I think I know how to play this game. The black cat said excitedly.

The reconnaissance vehicle was on the road again, and soon caught up with the convoy in front, and it was not long before the convoy reached the plain outside the city of Calais, and stopped outside the marked earthen fort.

This earthen fort has a circle of walls, and the wooden gate is barely strong, but the gate was easily broken under the bombardment of the bazooka, and the platoon commander who hit the front station led people to drive out the people in the earthen fort directly.

"Who are you, this is the temple farm! How dare you be rude! A middle-aged man at the head said angrily, but he didn't dare to move, the terrible steel chariots outside, the strange weapons in the hands of these strange people, and the explosion just now, all made them dare not act rashly.

A big dog suddenly roared and rushed up, and the platoon commander raised his hand and killed him with one shot.

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

"If you don't want to die like this dog, get out of here, it's been requisitioned." The platoon leader said expressionlessly, after all, it is considered to be from the civilized world, but he has not been wiped out.

The middle-aged man left in a hurry with a group of household servants, and the platoon commander immediately assigned tasks to his subordinates, mounted the machine guns on the tower of the earthen fort, and the self-propelled mortars set up positions behind the earthen fort, and the ammunition and materials were also removed and transported to the courtyard.

"Come on, guys, we're going to war." The platoon leader shouted loudly, and he had to do it himself.

Although the expeditionary force lacked heavy weapons, there were quite a few machine guns, each squad had a general-purpose machine gun, the fire support squad also had heavy machine guns, plus the machine guns and machine guns on the combat vehicles, the number of machine guns in the entire expeditionary force exceeded 60.

In addition to this, there are a dozen small-caliber mortars, as well as a large number of rocket launchers.

In a matter of moments, the humble little earthen fort was armed into a deadly fortress.

The ammunition transport vehicle unloaded the material and carried out two more transports, this tracked transport vehicle could transport more than a dozen tons of material at a time, and the ammunition and food were quickly piled up in the walls of the earthen fort.

By the way, another company of infantry came over, and when the lieutenant colonel and his members of the command were standing on the tower of the earthen fort, the cavalry units of the Dark Empire had already appeared on the distant horizon.

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

He stepped up his time to set up the position, clear the shooting obstacles, transport ammunition and personnel, the drone was constantly scouting, Feihu and Ergouzi always followed him, witnessing the coming of this battle with his own eyes, and soon the position was quite large.

Although the strength of the army was only 400 men, the position arranged was very open, and in front of it were dozens of firepower points that covered each other as forward positions.

The middle section is a concave line of defense formed by a fence and sandbags.

Finally, a core defense area was built with the earthen fort as the center, and a group of fire support was arranged behind the earthen fort and on the high ground outside the passage placed behind the side.

A large number of anti-infantry mines were laid down, and several barbed wire fences were also pulled up, placed in key positions, which could effectively delay the cavalry charge.

The crops were burned directly to avoid obscuring the firing boundary, and throughout the day, the expeditionary force was busy building up its own defenses.

The lieutenant colonel named it the Sanchez Line.

The lieutenant colonel also explained to the advisers his strategic idea, to use the outlying strongholds to deplete the enemy's forces and offensive, to block the enemy in the middle concave line, to kill and wound a large number of the enemy's living forces, and to block the enemy in the second line of defense as much as possible.

The core defense area is the final withdrawal point, and in the worst case, the enemy attacks the core defense area, then it is necessary to prepare for the retreat, there are four ammunition delivery vehicles, four self-propelled mortars and reconnaissance convoys, which is enough to withdraw most of the soldiers, of course, then the materials in the earthen fort can only be detonated and abandoned.

This is the worst that the expeditionary force can accept.

"If we're lucky, we can hold off the enemy in the second line of defense, and when they are demoralized, we can counterattack with mobile units as the vanguard and crush the enemy in one fell swoop." The lieutenant colonel concluded the way.

At night, more cavalry appeared, but the main force of the Dark Imperial Army stopped more than ten miles away, no way, the marching speed of the ancient army was very limited, fifty kilometers away, it was a full day and it didn't finish, it seems that the decisive battle can only wait until tomorrow.

At this time, Xia Yu and the others had already entered the city.
