Boulder City is located in a group of cities on the outskirts of the large federal group centered on Maple Leaf City. The entire body is made of special giant rocks. The indestructible boulder city walls are used by them to deal with Warcraft and other stray animals. An important basis for attacks by bandits, robbers, etc.
Originally, Boulder City was only one of the poorest cities in the federation. Ever since the knights from Maple Leaf City and a sect named Sufferers came here and took root, Boulder City began to become stronger day by day.
People here have discovered that by believing in the Sect of the Sufferer, they can gain some abilities that ordinary people do not have. However, the price is that the hair on the body will fall off and the teeth will turn black. Other than that, there is not much impact.
Their ability to unite and cooperate and their centripetal force also doubled in a geometric manner. Originally, the folk customs of such a remote town were extremely strong, and internal divisions were always inevitable. But since the arrival of the Martyrs, they have become more united and developed a feeling of extreme xenophobia.
A bishop of the Sufferer's Sect also began to teach the people here a way to tame a special monster. It's just that this kind of monster is unique to the Sufferer's Sect. It looks like an ant, but it does not have the slender limbs of an ant. Instead, it is extremely... The thick, sharp jaws seem to be able to crush everything. Even the huge stone walls will be bitten to pieces by this special ant-shaped monster.
The special power and this powerful ant monster made Boulder City prosperous day after day. However, not long ago, several strangers came here to inquire about some information. In the end, they were killed by the residents here. They worked together to drive them out.
The residents here all believe in the Passionist Cult, so strangers without faith are as conspicuous in their eyes as candles in the dark.
Today, a team has an average height of more than two and a half meters, wearing heavy armor, holding magic flamethrowers, standard bolters, heavy bolters, and hanging on their waists daggers, chain swords and other melee weapons. The Achilles Tactical Team arrived.
Looking at the comings and goings, and the faint appearance of several extremely huge ant-shaped monsters, Barry, the captain of the tactical team, discovered that these ant-shaped monsters had almost reached the level of second-level apprentices, and even some of them had reached the level of third-level apprentices. , although he only saw five heads.
"How can a small, almost remote city like this have such a large-scale power?"
Venezia, who was considered a half-staff officer, walked up to Barry and whispered.
Barry nodded inaudibly. He also discovered the weirdness of this huge stone city, and he found that the residents living here had no hair, no eyebrows, and no beards, and looked smooth.
It would be fine if this phenomenon happened to one or two people, but judging from the nearly 50 residents he has seen coming in and out and the soldiers stationed at the city gate, it seems that everyone is like this.
"All bullets are loaded, and we are ready to deal with emergencies. This city is not simple." After giving the order
,
the team members loaded the bolts one after another, put one hand on the body of the bolt gun, and put the other hand on it. Reach for the trigger and be ready to shoot.
After Bali made a gesture, the group of soldiers continued to move forward. Soon they came to the city gate. The residents who had just been coming in and out almost all walked into the city gate at the same time. The soldiers also returned to the city gate and closed it. Then a man who looked like a senior officer stuck his head out, looked at them and shouted loudly.
"Who are you? This is our city, and outsiders
like you are not welcome here." The man dressed as an officer spoke calmly. He didn't feel any fear when he saw a group of Achilles warriors who were completely different from ordinary people. On the contrary, it was an attitude of indifference and hostility.
"There seems to be something wrong with the situation now. They actually have no fear of us. During this period of time, including the governor's city where the master is located, the residents there can't help but feel frightened when they see us."
Fei stood next to Barry . Sk said this.
Barry made a gesture, and his team members immediately dispersed and assumed a tactical posture ready to attack. He took two steps forward, looked up at the man dressed as an officer on the city wall and said loudly.
"We are a force ordered by Mr. Wizard Taylor, the Chief Prosecutor of the Governor's Mansion. There is an abnormal situation in your city. Let us go in for inspection and investigation. If necessary, you all obey the arrangements!!!"
In Barry's view , what they represent is the face of their master Taylor, and their momentum cannot be reduced no matter what.
The man dressed as an officer on the city wall hesitated for a moment, turned around and went back behind the city wall, as if he had a discussion with someone, and then he put on a gentle smile, full of affinity. He raised the corners of his mouth and said excitedly.
"It turns out that you are a team sent by the Chief Prosecutor. That is really offensive. Please come in. This is our Boulder City. We always welcome representatives of the Chief Prosecutor to come and inspect."
There was a giant figure below the room where he spoke. The huge stone door made of strip-shaped boulders slowly opened. What appeared on the other side of the stone door were rows of houses, all built of strange boulders of various colors. There was no trace of residents inside. There were three soldiers riding ant monsters and several other groups of soldiers waiting. There was a wide road between them, as if to welcome them.
After Barry and his party walked in directly, the huge stone door behind them slowly closed.
Next they saw a skinny man dressed like a missionary looking at them, with a smile on his lips, and the black teeth under the smile made them feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Oh, welcome, my friends, this is Boulder City, a great city that we jointly maintain!"
The skinny missionary raised his hands to the sky, looking extremely intoxicated, which looked weird. And disgusting.
Seeing this scene, all the warriors tightened their weapons, and Willix, who was holding a heavy flamethrower, leaned behind Barry and whispered.
"We are the warriors of the great wizard. Everything should be afraid of us, but they behaved too ordinary!"
Barry remained silent, looking at the heart-shaped skinny missionary carefully with his eyes, paying special attention to the missionary's sleeves. The arthropod-like limbs exposed under the robe, as well as black teeth, and strange eyes with pupils elongated to the left and right sides.
"Come on, wizard warriors, please come with us. We welcome you very much. If possible, we would like the great wizard to come to our city..."
The missionary's tone gradually became louder, It wasn't until they mentioned that they wanted the wizard to come here that their tone reached its peak, almost roaring like they were shouting to the sky.
They are not human beings, at least they are no longer normal human beings!
Years of combat experience have made Barley understand that they may face endless enemies now.
The people here seem to have some kind of special distortion, which causes them to become fearless and do not even understand the most basic awe. Moreover, it can be judged from the disappearance of pupils, hair and arthropod-type limbs that they seem to have been affected by something. Infection caused by blood or some kind of witchcraft or other means.
The following words spoken by the missionary in a state of madness further convinced Barry of his conjecture.
I don't know if the missionary saw the existence of something he pursued or believed in. He shouted loudly, raised his hands and waved them constantly. The surrounding soldiers and the man dressed as an officer knelt on their knees, clasped their hands, and directly He knocked his head to the ground with a very pious look.
"I think if the great wizards can join our Sect of Sufferers, maybe they can become real beings who bear endless suffering..."
Bang!
Before the missionary could finish his words, his body was blown apart by a bomb. Everyone around the missionary froze. Then his pupils opened to the left and right, and a ferocious expression of rage and resentment slowly appeared on his face. He mechanically turned his head and stared directly at Barry and the others.
boom! boom! boom!
Barry directly raised his bolter and began to shoot these soldiers accurately, and ordered at the same time.
"Kill them! This city may have lost control, kill them!"
