Last Totem Novel - Chapter 491
Chapter 491 Black Eye
A few days later, Lard-bucket gathered more than 200 miners and hired a few more trucks to head towards Sandy City.
When he arrived, he had boarded the Silver City 13 air train through Selma and returned to Tieshan Town. Most of the time, the people on the ground would not be able to enter the floating city, let alone bring along this group of untidy miners who spoke and acted rudely. Therefore, before leaving, they had to arrive at Sha Cheng Airport and then take the air train to leave.
In order to save money, they would get off the plane at a seaside town in the northeast of the central continent after flying over Xiao Xia Sea City, and then take a bus to Quicksand Town. Since they could not cross the sand sea like Tie Zha, they could only take a detour along the dilapidated highway.
After half a month’s journey, on the afternoon of Dr3716-7-25, the team finally arrived at Sandy City. As soon as he entered the city, Lard-bucket went to the headquarters of the Great Wall Company. However, due to his lack of social connections, he was unable to find Old Niu in the factory area, which had hundreds of thousands of employees. Thus, he took a step back and asked Old Niu Master, who had opened a second-hand gun shop in Tail Alley, to convey the message on his behalf.
“Please tell him that Iron Eagle is at Crimson Peak Stronghold in Desert Five.” Lard-bucket said solemnly.
“I also want to go.” Just as he finished speaking, a young man in Master Niu’s shop raised his head and interrupted. He looked white and clean. He was in his early twenties, and his work clothes were stained with oil.
“Nonsense!” Old Master Niu, who was just about to answer, immediately turned his head and scolded the young man.
“I also want to go!” The young man insisted loudly.
“If you dare to go, I’ll break your leg.” As he spoke, Master Niu picked up a newly loaded pistol from the table, pushed it into the magazine with a “pa-pa” sound, pulled open the safety bolt, and threatened.
Lard-bucket hurriedly said, “Master Old Niu, have something to say …” At the same time, he strode forward and blocked the path between the two of them.
“I’m going, I’m going!” The young man blushed and shouted loudly.
“Don’t stop me. I’m going to shoot this devious fellow who bullied me and annihilated my ancestors!” Old Master Niu shouted excitedly, spitting out saliva all over Lard-bucket’s face.
“Don’t … don’t get excited …” “Get out of the way, don’t stop me!” “Be careful of accidental fire …” “Whoosh!” “Ah! I’ve been shot … I’ve been shot!”
In the midst of the dispute, Old Master Niu’s spear shattered the light bulb on the top, and glass slags immediately splashed everywhere. The shop was pitch black and chaotic. It took a long time for it to recover. Lard-bucket was groping all over. After confirming that he wasn’t shot, he collapsed to the ground and heaved a long sigh of relief.
About half an hour later, Lard-bucket, who was drenched in cold sweat, left Tail Street, bought tickets at the airport and took the miners on the air train.
“Aggressive …”
Amidst the deafening noise of the jet, the massive flying machine slowly rose into the air, turned around, and flew towards the south. The shadows on the ground gradually shrunk and disappeared into the setting sun, leaving only dust and smoke on the ground.
At the same time, in a world of ice, snow, and white, a group of hundreds of troops were walking forward with great difficulty on knee-high snow.
The two banners of different colors, embroidered with gold and silver threads, stood in the wind and floated at the front of the group.
Upon closer inspection, the two flags were long and hung on the same pole. The flagpole was like a raised fork, with a flag hanging on each side. The flag on the left was dark red with a silver-gray cross painted in the middle and a thick golden line embroidered on both sides. She was known as the “Battle Flag of the Sacred Region”, representing the glory and dignity of the Temple.
The flag on the right was dark gray with a blood red cross painted in the middle. There was a skeleton nailed to the rack. Pitch black chains passed through the ribs and wrapped around the spine and neck. It looked ferocious and terrifying. If you look more closely, you will see the pattern of the Arabic number “seven” and diamond in the upper left and lower right corners of the flag. The flag was called the “Battle Flag of Dawn” and represented the glory and punishment of the Temple, while the Arabic numerals and squares represented the 4th Brigade of the Ninth Army of the Dawn Expeditionary Force.
A tall, armored Knight of Dawn was walking through the thick snow with a flag in one hand and an assault rifle in the other.
Behind the flag bearer was a middle-aged man with two medals embedded in his chest. At this moment, he opened the glass of his helmet and looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about something. His name was Arnold. He was a Tier 5 Psionic Adept. He came from Silver City No. 17 in the Northern Wilderness Continent and was once the captain of the sixth squad of the Princess Guards. In the past 30 years, he had participated in countless wars, the biggest of which was the Twilight War 12 years ago and the Tyre Guard War 2 years ago.
In a few months, he will be fifty years old. As a soldier, he should have retired. According to the agreement between him and his little daughter, he should be standing in the amusement park of Eternal City, holding a basket of popcorn and melting ice cream, looking happily at his children on the merry-go-round. However, when the princess’s call came, he answered without hesitation.
No reason, just because he was a veteran, a guard under the bauhinia flower. As long as Lombar still needed him, as long as the princess still needed him, he would put on his armor and charge into the boundless darkness. Because he knew that no matter where he was and where his bones were buried, his little daughter would live a peaceful and happy life under the protection of the bauhinia flower.
On the other hand, deep down in his heart, he regarded the princess as his other daughter. He watched her grow up from a cute little elf girl to a star that attracted the attention of the world. That sunny smile remained in his heart forever.
“Sir, the short mountain ahead is the 80794 Highlands.” A knight retainer in a white tarpaulin uniform with a dark gray cross painted on his chest chased after Arnold and said.
Around Arnold’s eyes, a faint aurora shone on the snow, causing the entire world to turn pale. The surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of the wind could be heard. However, this strange calm made him feel puzzled.
“Flag bearer, stop moving forward and fix it on the spot.” He quickly gave the order. As the flag bearer planted the flag on the ground, the entire team stopped.
The Dawn Expeditionary Army’s method of battle was to use the war flag as a front. The flag was present, and the flag fell.
“Almighty True God, Almighty Saul, wise Pope, radiant Princess.”
A military priest immediately stepped forward and prayed, “Those black-eyed bastards and savage outsiders actually dared to block the path of the Holy Light. They will be burned, purified and annihilated by the flames of dawn …”
“Safe ahead.” A moment later, the scouts reported.
“Could it be …” Arnold frowned and muttered to himself, “they’re in trouble too?” Logically speaking, they were caught in a snowstorm halfway and were nine hours late. The Black Eye Clan’s troops should have arrived at the highlands before them.
“We are the princess’ sharp swords, the dawn of dawn.”
“Hundreds of millions of worlds will crawl and tremble beneath our feet …”
“Holy Light will shatter everything!” The priest’s prayers were constantly coming from his ears, making it difficult for him to calm down. He had always felt that he was a stupid soldier and was not suitable to be a leader. Rather than thinking about problems, he might as well use his sword to charge into the front lines.
After pondering for a moment, he calmed down and ordered the troops to continue forward.
However, when they had just reached the bottom of the 80794 Highlands, a strange change occurred! Snow billowed above, and giant figures crawled out of the snow. Their bodies were wrapped in a faint light, and blue light flickered on the tip of the spear.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” In an instant, hurried shouts echoed one after another, and the knights of dawn all stood up and flew into the sky.
However, neither the combat retinue nor the logistics retinue were able to fly. They could only stay on the ground and watch as the meteor shower that cut through the night sky descended.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
An earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the world of ice and snow. The snow that was dozens of meters deep shot straight into the sky like a fountain, then scattered down with countless pieces of flesh and cloth. In the blink of an eye, a bright red flower seemed to bloom on the flawless snow plains.
The lightning spears shot together, causing the heavens and earth to move.
“Holy Light will shatter everything!”
“Kill!”
Looking at the tragic state of the retainers, Arnold’s eyes almost popped out, traces of blood crawling all over his eyes. After a deathly silence, he let out a dull battle roar. A pistol and a sword fell straight down from the sky towards the densely packed enemy troops on the high ground.
“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”
In an instant, the stars flew down, killing sounds shook the heavens, and the entire area became an Asura Ground …
Volume 16, done.
The captain paid his respects to everyone for an early year and took a few days off.
It had been a year and a half since he had written, and the totem had reached 1.6 million words. Recently, many readers have asked how long a totem can be written. Here, the captain gave everyone an explanation and told them about the follow-up plan.
The original title of this work was Silver City Story, but due to the problem of renaming, it was changed to Silver City Illustration.
The whole book is divided into three parts: the prequel, the original and the postquel.
The Apocalypse Totem is the main story of the Silver City Illustrated Series, and is currently at about 50% completion.
The prequel takes place between Old Man Tie’s death and Lena’s appearance. It tells the story of Tie Zha and Old Cow adventuring in Iron Mountain Town as teenagers. The outline has been completed.
There is a basic outline in the subsequent post, but in order not to affect the follow-up plot, it is temporarily kept confidential here.
The story of Tie Zha is still very long. The captain writes slowly and everyone reads slowly.
Then, on New Year’s Eve, there will be an event in the group, which was also held last year, to answer the questions in the book and win red envelopes.
The activity flow is as follows:
1. Questions raised by the captain;
2. Readers should answer the questions and explain the reasons. Some of them need screenshots in the book;
3. The closest to the correct answer (some without a standard answer) is assessed by the judges.
Here are some of the questions from last year:
What’s the model of Lena’s motorcycle? Chapter 30 Brainless Powder (Lightning Leopard)
What are the divisions of Beifang Heavy Industries and where are their headquarters? “Chinese Soldiers” (Great Wall of Sand City, Harley of Boiler Fort, Wilderness Heavy Industries in the South of Northern Desolation, Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries in the Central Continent).
The sacred object of the Temple of Glory was the Thunder Warhammer. The sacred object of the Ancient Temple was the staff of life. What was the sacred object of Notre Dame? Samsara (lower part of the Book of Sacred Words).
…
Here, the captain takes the lead in releasing three questions. At that time, welcome to discuss them.
1. The appearance of the dragonizer signified the coming of the apocalypse.
Then, in today’s Silver City world, why would there be a dragonizer?
Second, the overall strength of the swarm of bees and ants far surpassed that of humans, and their race consciousness was plundering everything.
However, why didn’t they attack Silver City?
3. In the history of the Silver City World, it has been mentioned several times that the south of the Northern Wilderness is the parish of Notre Dame.
However, why did Tieshan Town in the middle of the continent become a parish of Notre Dame, while the south became a parish of the Temple?
Everyone, please join us.
