The sound of the horn came from the central tower and instantly spread throughout the fortress, breaking the silence of the city.
Bonn's expression changed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The next moment, red flames exploded above the fortress. The flames floated in the air and did not go out for a long time!
"Red alert!"
Bonn's voice was trembling, "Sir, what do we do now?"
Red alert?
Zuo Yi frowned and asked, "Is the situation very serious?"
"You don't know?"
Bonn was very surprised, "Red alert is the highest level of alert in Dragon Den Fortress!"
Once Dragon Den Fortress faced a threat, the central tower would immediately send out an alert. The alert was divided into five levels, and red was the highest level.
"It must be the Wolf Tribe!"
Bonn said in a deep voice, "I remember that the last time Dragon Den Fortress sent out a red alert was a year ago. At that time, the Wolf Tribe sent out 50,000 Wolf Riders and 130,000 vassal soldiers to attack Dragon Den Fortress. Many people died in that battle."
He looked at the city wall in the distance, "Those Wolf Pups are here again!"
The eyes of this Cyrathian were filled with anger and a trace of hidden fear.
For thousands of years, the overlords of the Wild Continent had always been the Beastmen and the Elves. The three human kingdoms were suppressed to a corner of the continent. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were struggling at death's door.
If not for the Beastmen and Elves opposing each other, the human kingdom would have been destroyed.
The Beastmen divided into many tribes and formed an alliance to fight against the Elven Empire. The main enemy of the Cyrathian Kingdom was the Wolf Tribe. The latter used Cyrathian as a pasture and hunting ground. They would occasionally attack from the north and the south, causing the kingdom to suffer.
As for the other two human kingdoms, the situation was similar. It was just that they were facing different enemies.
It was because of this that when the Extraordinaries of the Blue Star World used the World Stone to "Descend" to the Wild World, they quickly formed an alliance with the three kingdoms and had a stronghold.
As a price, the seven cities of the seven Extraordinaries were all at the border. They were all at the frontline against the Beastmen. Today's situation was not the first time it happened, and it would not be the last!
"Then I have to stay for the time being and leave after defeating the Wolf Tribe …"
Zuo Yi said, "If you want to leave, I won't stop you. Our contract can be canceled."
The sudden attack of the werewolves disrupted Zuo Yi's plan once again, but it was impossible for him to leave Dragon City Fortress at this time!
Not only because he was a member of Da Xia, but more importantly, as a knight, there was no reason for him to run away in the face of danger.
Order, Honor, Valor, Honor, Honor, Strength, Integrity, Honesty, and Compassion. These eight great virtues were the cornerstones of Zuo Yi's strength!
"No!"
Bonn gritted his teeth and said, "I want to stay and guard Dragon's Den Fortress. After defeating the Werewolves, I will accompany you to Coldwinter City!"
"I missed it last time, but I can't leave this time!"
Actually, he could still leave if he wanted to. Once the fortress entered a state of war, the gates facing the interior of the kingdom would be closed, and the citizens would no longer be allowed to enter or leave freely.
Bonn took out a gold note from his pocket and handed it to Zuo Yi: "Sir, I converted the gold you gave me last night into gold coins and deposited them in the bank. This is the deposit receipt."
"You can keep it."
Zuo Yi smiled: "This amount of money is nothing to me. Let's meet again after we defeat the Werewolves."
Bonn nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll go find my companions. See you, sir!"
He picked up his bag and hurried back to the tavern.
At this moment, a group of fully armed soldiers quickly walked over. Among them, a young officer held up a metal horn and said loudly: "Volunteers, please report to the nearest armed point immediately. Note, this is not a drill, not a drill!"
This officer was from Da Xia, and the soldiers he led were all from Serais.
Serais had a deep hatred for the Werewolves, so many immigrants from Dragon City Fortress volunteered to join the Dragon City Guard to help Da Xia resist the invasion of the Werewolves.
They were also defending their homeland!
Zuo Yi stopped the officer and asked: "Where is the nearest armed point?"
Da Xia officer immediately ordered: "Cass, take this gentleman to the nearest armed point."
"Yes sir!"
A Serais soldier stepped out: "Sir, please follow me."
Following this young soldier, Zuo Yi quickly arrived at the nearest armed point.
The so-called armed point was actually the military outpost of the fortress, and now it was used as a place to distribute weapons. When Zuo Yi arrived, there was already a long line outside.
Dragon City Fortress' war mobilization mechanism was obviously very perfect. There were both Da Xia and Serais in the line. Everyone was in order and there was no sign of panic in the face of the Werewolves' attack.
The situation in other places was similar. Although the atmosphere was very tense, there was no chaos.
"What equipment do you need?"
A quartermaster asked Zuo Yi who had just arrived: "Weapons and armor are all here, hurry up and decide."
Behind him was a large pile of swords, axes, hammers, leather armor, and other equipment.
Zuo Yi glanced and said: "Give me a big sword and a bundle of javelins. I don't need anything else."
The quartermaster looked at Zuo Yi: "Give me your identity card."
He quickly registered Zuo Yi's identity and then asked his subordinate to give Zuo Yi a big sword and a bundle of javelins.
Holding the weapons he had just received, Zuo Yi followed the instructions of the armed point sentry and walked along the long corridor to the city wall.
He had a feeling that he had not felt in a long time.
The section of the wall facing the Werebeasts in the north of Dragon City Fortress was built very majestically and was divided into two layers. The inner wall was more than fifty meters tall, and the outer wall was more than thirty meters tall.
There were all kinds of defensive measures set up on the inner and outer walls, and the most in number were undoubtedly the giant steam crossbows. These crossbows were fixed behind the battlements and were connected to metal pipes used to transport high-pressure steam, occasionally emitting white smoke.
The ones in charge of operating the giant steam crossbows were all Serais soldiers, and Da Xia's people were mostly armored warriors. There were also many arrow towers and steam catapults behind the wall.
As for other defensive measures, Zuo Yi could not see them for the time being.
Although the enemy was still nowhere to be seen, Dragon City Fortress was like a porcupine with sharp spikes, waiting for the enemy to crash into it and bleed!
As a volunteer, Zuo Yi was arranged to be on the first section of the wall, which was the outer wall.
Of course, he did not have any objections to this arrangement. Instead, he was looking forward to the appearance of the enemy.
Since the battle of Thorn Town in the world of Sadeya, Zuo Yi had not experienced war for nearly a year.
He missed it a little.
