Three hundred and sixtieth chapters beacon fire
Cui Ming knocked the wine bottle and said, "Don't make you feel decadent because of me. I think you should cherish your life more because of my death."
"Tsk, I won't be decadent because of you."
The two of them were eating and drinking on the balcony, and they didn't want to sleep. They chatted without saying a word. Cui Ming didn't want to sleep because he could sleep comfortably soon. The wind was affected by Cui Ming and was a little depressed. He accompanied Cui Ming on the last journey. He originally thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect the pressure to be so great.
After taking a few hours in the middle of the night, the two of them woke up again. Cui Ming looked at the meat, had no appetite, looked at the wine, and had no desire. He picked up the wind's cigar and lit it. Feng was a little far from the cigar, so he poked it with a samurai knife and got the cigar. Cui Ming looked at the desktop lighter. If you have the ability, you poked the lighter. Feng used a knife to pick it under the lighter, grabbed the lighter with his hand, and lit it leisurely.
The two of them didn't say anything, and were lazy to say that they looked outside. The hotel was in the north of Nodo City, with a beautiful environment. There was a mountain on the balcony. You can climb over this mountain to reach the northern plateau of Romeer and Fanci. This is the theory. This is endless mountains, and Nodo City is 300 kilometers away from the northern plateau in a straight line.
"It's on fire." Feng Youyou said.
Cui Ming picked up the telescope at his hand and looked at it. There seemed to be a fire on the top of a mountain far away. Cui Ming said: "That seems to be the highest peak nearby, what is the name of Ladra Shenma."
The two continued to lie on the beach chair and began to discuss: "Call breakfast."
"I'm too lazy to move."
"So too." Feng looked at the table: "There are still a few slices of barbecue." After that, he cut it into more than a dozen small slices with a knife.
"what?"
The wind pressed the samurai sword on the meat slices and said, "Only or double? The loser goes to call."
"Oh?" Cui Ming was interested and closed his eyes and pondered for a while: "Single, you cut thirteen times, it should have been double, but you must have tampered with it, so it is single."
"You lost." Feng took the knife away and picked it up. Cui Ming smiled bitterly. It was thirteen swords, but the last sword was a horizontal pull, cutting all the slices in half. Feng sighed: "I have practiced sword skills for so many years, so it turns out that it is more suitable for cutting meat."
"I'll go call, what should I eat?" Cui Ming asked.
"water."
"Damn." Cui Ming went in and called, and took a bottle of water from the refrigerator to smash it to the wind. Cui Ming was about to sit down, paused, picked up the telescope and looked at the mountain peak. He saw thick smoke rising from the peak. There were two low places where there were no fire, but there were also thick smoke.
"how?"
Cui Ming took off his telescope and looked at the wind: "Beijinghuo."
Feng stood up, practiced his eyes, and cooperated with the telescope. After a while, he lay down again: "It's all my business."
"Go and have a look." Cui Ming said: "Maybe God wants to give me a chance to die in battle?"
...
Beacon fire is a means for ancient civilizations to prevent barbaric nomadic invasions. Once nomadic invasions are discovered, beacon fires will be lit. Beacon fires can be passed down all the way to inform everyone of the enemy's invasion.
In the era of the minor alliance, Nordo City was just a big city with a large population. The headquarters of the Eastern Continent was at the highest peak of that mountain. Before the minor alliance, the Eastern Continent was relatively complicated. Nomads from the edge of the desert often went south to attack Chuxiao City and east to attack Nodo City. Whenever they encountered bad weather and could not be self-sufficient, they would start attacking. Nordo City and Chuxiao City were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and only the east was the sea route.
After thousands of years of attack and destruction, the beacon tower began to be established on a large scale. It was mainly built on the central peaks of Chuxiao City and Nodo City, and soldiers were sent to guard it. Once one city was invaded, the other city transported soldiers from sea to the target city to resist the invasion. After the two cities joined forces, they not only resisted the attack, but also began to fight back.
The desert nomads retreated to the north, and they lived in mountains and desert areas. Chu Xiaocheng sent 5,000 elite troops into the northern mountains of Nodo City to assist in defense. The Allied forces established a safe zone in the mountains, set up beacon points, and controlled the conflicts of war outside the city-state. In the next three hundred years, soldiers from the two cities launched dozens of attacks on the nomads, and eventually the nomads fled to the northern plateau, which is the tribe where Zhu Ni is now. The Romir tribe had only more than 700 people at that time, and was bullied by the Zhu Ni tribe. Because of its combat effectiveness, they could only cede land and pay tribute to the Zhu Ni tribe. This is also the reason why the two tribes became mortal enemies.
The elders of the Romier tribe climbed over the mountains and went to Nodo City for help. The Allied forces of Nodo City and Chuxiao City arrived at the northern plateau by sea, but were defeated before the battle because of the cold weather. The Zhuni tribe also knew that they could not afford Nodo City and Chuxiao City because they could continuously replenish their combat power. So they sought peace. With the cooperation of the envoys of the two cities, the Zhuni tribe and the Romier tribe signed an agreement.
However, in the next hundred years, the northern plateau was not calm. In order to deal with this situation, Nodo City spent a lot of manpower and material resources to establish a beacon tower, which was connected to the Romier tribe, effectively deterring the Zhuni tribe. This beacon tower allowed the East Continent to enter the safety of the minor alliance era from ancient times. Because the number of practitioners began to increase slowly, the East Continent began to develop towards peace and stability. However, the mortal enemy of the northern plateau was still a pair of enemies.
The beacon tower was lit... maybe it was just a prank, maybe it wasn't. Especially the highest peak, the small league headquarters, which is not something ordinary climbers can go up there. They also have to carry a lot of supplies to burn, which requires considerable manpower.
An hour later, Cui Ming and Feng stood on the top of the mountain opposite the hotel, watching the shocking smoke, which came down from the north.
“Can’t you make a phone call?”
Cui Ming replied: "There are complete communication equipment at the southeastern pier of the northern plateau. What is the situation? Is it invaded?" No, a practitioner from the Zhu Ni tribe, and a couple of Romier. Besides, what era is it now, and it's still invading, and there's a little friction on the border.
Fengdao: "Go to the beacon tower at the headquarters of the minor alliance." Modern beacon towers are not guarded by soldiers.
Cui Ming said: "Why don't you come to Nodo City directly, but light up the beacon towers one by one."
"There are often stupid people." Feng leads the way.
...
The Minor League beacon tower was not far away. It took two practitioners three hours to reach the beacon tower. At this time, the smoke of beacon fire in the distance had disappeared. Cui Ming and Feng reached the top of the peak, and the outer side was a building built by the Minor League. Jumped onto the top of the building and headed towards the beacon tower. I saw a man wading in a pool of blood. Seven meters away was still burning beacon.
"Fan Qian?" Cui Ming was shocked. Damn, what's the matter? Cui Ming hurried forward, and Hefeng turned Fan Qian over. It was terrible, and his whole body was covered in blood. Cui Ming pointed to his arm and pulled away a piece of flesh. He could see the white bones. His clothes were broken, and the flesh on his body was messy. Although it seemed that it was skin trauma, the injury was too fierce.
Feng taped Fan Qian's lips, Cui Ming stood up and looked at the beacon, and said, "Fan Qian doesn't know when he will die, and I don't know if he can reach the next beacon tower. If he can still light the fire when he arrives at the next beacon tower, so he lit it all the way."
"These injuries are not serious, but this woman tried her best and didn't want to use Ming to heal her injuries. Instead, she kept rushing to the road, resulting in excessive blood loss." Feng Dao: "It seems that there is a big trouble in the northern plateau. Is it Zhu Ni?"
"Zhu Ni is stupid. She dares to unify the northern plateau. The Force Alliance slaughtered her tribe in minutes." Cui Ming thought for a while and said, "Wind, we collect supplies and burn the beacon to drive them to save Fan Qian. We are going north."
Feng Dao: "Fan Xi is in a bad situation now."
Cui Ming said: "It's because of this that we must go north. It's not a very urgent matter. She won't work so hard. It may be a good thing for her coma, and at least the Force may automatically recover and heal the wounds."
Feng nodded: "Okay."
The wind went to collect wood and leaves, and Cui Ming used charcoal to write on a stone under the mountain: "She is a cultivator. Please rescue her. Notify the Eternal League and the Force League that something happened on the northern plateau." Cui Ming, the champion of the Force League Athletics Championship, was signed. At this time, it was not bragging, but to make people pay more attention to this matter. If Fan Qian wakes up and sees the message, she doesn't have to worry or be too nervous.
It is very easy for practitioners to collect firewood here. They do not need to use a knife. They can destroy small trees and other trees with the force. Of course, it is more convenient to use a knife. In just ten minutes, the wind carried a bunch of things to the top of the peak. The two of them sent Fan Qian to the bottom of the peak, left food and water, and headed towards the northern plateau.
...
The northern plateau has a high altitude and cold weather. Especially now, it is winter on the northern plateau. You can see heavy snow all over the sky from afar. Because of this, you cannot see the buildings and people on the northern plateau through your eyes.
It was already past two o'clock in the morning. Feng and Cui Ming rushed all the way without rest. The Force disease cooperated very well and did not attack. They successfully arrived at a village on the southernmost side of the northern plateau.
Cui Ming and Feng went down the mountain and entered the village. They looked quiet from afar. They thought the villagers were asleep. When they got closer, they saw that there was no one in the whole village. Cui Ming shouted: "Is anyone there?"
A room on the left side of the road lit up, someone lit a candle, Cui Ming walked towards the room, the door opened, an old man with legs left was sitting on the ground, with a crossbow on his hand, aimed it at Cui Ming, and he pulled it down without saying a word. Cui Ming grabbed the crossbow arrow: "Old man, what are you doing?"
The wind jumped off the roof: "No one."
The old man was very hostile and was installing a second crossbow arrow. Cui Ming said: "We are friends of Romier and Fan Xi."
The old man stopped and looked at the two of them, half-believing and half-doubting.
Seeing this, the wind drew his sword and flicked it. The three of them waited quietly for a few seconds. The wind was embarrassed and pushed the wooden stakes on the fence with his fingers. The wooden stakes fell to the ground. It was mb, which was inconsistent with the TV. As long as the TV was cut off, it would definitely fall down and should not have watched cartoons.
Cui Ming said: "We are from the Force Alliance, what's going on here?" Cui Ming looked at his body and was stained with a lot of blood and had already had it.
The old man looked at Cui Ming for a long time and said, "I don't know, the leader asked all of us to take food and escape into the mountains, so that we should not come out for at least ten days."
"Romir?"
"No, it's Chief Fan, he's the chief." The old man explained: "Captain Fan is in charge of production."
Cui Ming asked: "Where is the nearest town?"
There is a city and a town on the northern plateau, with a population of thousands, most of whom live on the northern highlands. The old man replied: "From the northeast, follow the road and go to Xueyuan Town 30 kilometers."
Cui Ming nodded: "There may be someone coming behind you. Don't ejaculate randomly. Can you survive by yourself?"
"Don't worry about me." The old man replied stubbornly.
