The entire Dragon City Stronghold was filled with steam.
The steam boilers arranged in different areas of the city were all filled with fuel. Through special pipes, the hot high-pressure steam was transported to the city defense section, to the siege crossbows, catapults, and other steam weapons. The atmosphere of the coming war was suffocating.
But the enemy did not appear. The grassland in front of them was empty, and the forest in the distance was as calm as a windless ocean.
"Those wolf cubs, it will take at least another hour to see them."
A burly man next to him said to Zuo Yi: "They first have to pass through the forest in front of them. The wolf cavalry should be there first, and then their vassal soldiers."
This burly man was more than two meters tall, with super strong muscles. His head was bald, and his wide nose looked quite simple and honest.
His skin was wheat-colored, and his whole person looked like an indestructible iron tower.
Seeing Zuo Yi looking outside the battlements several times, Seres guessed that Zuo Yi had not fought with the wolf clan, so he kindly reminded him: "Our central tower can monitor the surrounding area of dozens of kilometers, so you don't have to worry about the wolf cubs' sneak attack."
Zuo Yi nodded and asked: "Are you also a volunteer?"
The other party's Chinese was good, so he should have lived in Dragon City Stronghold for a long time.
"My name is Quick."
Seres grinned, revealing a mouth of white and neat teeth: "I am now a reserve warrior of the Dragon City Guard. As long as I get five more merits, I can become a regular warrior!"
Zuo Yi was a little curious: "You want to join the Dragon City Guard?"
"Yes!"
Quick straightened his chest and said: "It is my honor to be able to fight against the wolf clan with you Da Xia people, and …"
Also, he was exiled to Dragon City Stronghold as a sinner. Only by getting enough merits can he get rid of this shameful identity and even go one step further.
Becoming a real member of the Dragon City Guard was his only hope.
This burly man, Seres, was obviously a straightforward person who couldn't hide his thoughts. He didn't care that he had just met Zuo Yi and told him everything about his identity and origin.
Zuo Yi had a good impression of this kind of person. He smiled and extended his hand. "My name is Zuo Yi."
"Zuo, Zuo Yi."
Quake shook hands with him. "Hello."
Gulp ~
As soon as Quake's voice fell, his stomach made a thunderous sound.
The burly man was very embarrassed. He scratched his head and explained, "I-I haven't had time to eat breakfast yet."
"It's okay, I'll treat you."
Zuo Yi laughed and took out bread, roasted meat, sausages, and other food from his space ring and gave them to him.
"Thank you."
Quake stared blankly for a moment before replying somewhat awkwardly, "I, I'll give you a wolf ear!"
Zuo Yi wondered, "Wolf ear?"
After Quake's explanation, he understood that wolf ears were used to calculate military service. The volunteers stationed on the first section of the wall mainly dealt with the werewolves who rushed up the wall. Only by killing the werewolves and cutting off their ears could they obtain the corresponding military service.
Quake gave Zuo Yi a wolf ear, which was equivalent to giving him some military service in return.
"Then you're at a loss."
Zuo Yi laughed involuntarily. He then took out a few more bottles of beer from his space ring and handed them to Quake.
Beer was of course a product of the Blue Star World. It was not affected by the rules of the world in his space ring, but after taking it out, he had to drink it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would quickly go bad.
As long as the food and wine were digested and absorbed, there would be no problem.
Quake was very happy and praised the beer even more. He thought that it was better than ale, but the taste was a bit bland.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Just over half an hour later, the horn sounded again in Dragon City Fortress, and red signal flares exploded in the air.
Countless birds in the forest in the distance were startled, and a low roar came from the forest.
"They came so fast!"
Quake, who had just eaten his fill and was resting with his back leaning against the wall, immediately jumped up and grabbed the battle axe beside him.
This time, the werewolves really came.
Thousands of werewolves rushed out of the forest, like a black flood drowning the grassland. In just a few minutes, they approached Dragon City Fortress.
These werewolves were all valiant and strong. They wore dark brown leather armor, carried bows and swords, and rode on dark grey wolves. They were all over the mountains and plains, and their momentum was like a rainbow, giving people a great sense of oppression.
Many of the volunteers stationed on the first section of the wall like Zuo Yi and Quake changed their expressions.
However, the werewolves' vanguard stopped a kilometer away from the wall. They quickly formed up in formation and glared at Dragon City Fortress, which had sealed off the canyon.
"Bah!"
Quake spat out a mouthful of phlegm. "Cunning werewolves!"
The place where the werewolves stopped was just outside the effective attack range of the giant steam crossbows. They obviously had a good understanding of the defensive preparations of Dragon City Fortress.
At this moment, in the command center of the central tower, the senior officers of the Dragon City Guard were monitoring the situation inside and outside the fortress with the help of the mages' Water Mirror and Sound Transmission, and passing down orders.
On the wall, water mirrors showed the outside scene from different angles.
Although they were ready for battle, although it was not the first time they had been attacked by the werewolves, and although Dragon City Fortress had never fallen since its establishment, everyone's expression was very dignified.
Because the highest commander of the Dragon City Guard, Fan Hailiu, was far away in the capital of Cyrus at the moment. Even if they sent the news now, it would take at least two or three days for him to come back.
Without the presence of this strong Alpha, everyone felt a little lacking in confidence.
The most important thing was that the werewolves' attack happened when Fan Hailiu left. Was it a coincidence or premeditated?
If it was the latter, then the problem was big!
This possibility cast a shadow over many people's hearts.
With the passage of time, more and more werewolves passed through the forest and appeared on the grassland. Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand …
Following closely behind were the werewolves' vassal soldiers. They brought a large number of chariots, ballistas, catapults, and other siege equipment. After meeting up with the werewolves, the number of this legion exceeded one hundred thousand!
Ka! Ka! Ka!
Accompanied by a burst of creepy cracking sounds, trees fell down one by one, and a team composed of dozens of giants appeared behind the werewolves' legion.
"Wolf King's Golden Tent!"
No one knew who shouted, but eight giants carrying a giant tent stepped through the passage opened by their companions and appeared in the middle of the werewolves' legion.
The golden tent was shining under the sun, and the black flag at the top was fluttering in the wind!
