"The Abyss of Despair... That is the cursed place among the cursed lands! It is at the very core! Even we jungle orcs dare not approach its edge..."
At this time, Moses, the orc leader, walked over with a wooden staff in his hand and an extremely ugly face, and joined in the conversation.
"Oh? Chief Moses, what kind of place is that? Why is it said that devils from hell will crawl out? Is it connected to another world?"
When the old patriarch talked about this topic, his expression became very solemn. He first recalled it for a while, and then sighed: "Alas...according to the records in the ancient books of our jungle orcs, the reason why we live here is that many
Many years ago, it was to guard the exit of the Abyss of Despair and prevent some terrible creatures from returning to the world!
But as time goes by, the living environment of the jungle orcs is getting worse and worse... Now let alone guarding the Abyss of Despair, you also know that we ourselves can hardly survive."
"Hiss...is there such a thing?"
Only then did Liu Xiao understand that it turned out that the jungle orcs did not live in the Forest of Despair from the beginning. They appeared here many years ago to guard the Abyss of Despair.
It seems that the secret here is not small. Is it a hell difficulty to choose a position to develop your own power?
Liu Xiao thought of this and raised his hands decisively: "Okay, we won't discuss this topic anymore. We will talk about it when we have time. At this stage, we have to deal with this tide of red moon beasts and protect our home from being destroyed! With the blessing of our Lord,
With our weapons, even if the devil really crawls out of hell, we can fight him back again!"
Speaking of the weapons he hoped to receive from the Creator, the solemn-faced Patriarch Moses immediately became excited again.
"The boss is right~! With the blessing of our Lord, even if the devil from hell returns to the world, he will definitely fail!"
....
There are still three days until the red moon rises and the evil beast mutates. Liu Xiao knows that time is tight and precious, so he asks everyone to seize the time to practice shooting.
What pleased him was that everyone was very enthusiastic about firearms. He didn't need to deliberately urge them, and everyone practiced tirelessly with their own guns.
Even in the dead of night, you can still hear the sound of gun practice echoing in the night. And those employees not only practice guns at night, but also practice with the evil beasts wandering around at night!
When other employees saw this scene, they seemed to have found a trick. As a result, everyone stayed awake the next night. Instead, they walked up to the guardrail with rifles and began to look for unlucky nocturnal evil beasts and use them as live targets.
Liu Xiao thinks this is better. After all, shooting a living thing is closer to actual combat than shooting a dead thing. No matter it is an evil beast or an enemy, they will not just stand there and let you hit them.
However, in addition to everyone having to be proficient in shooting, Liu Xiao also asked the orc women in the camp to burn a lot of hot oil and make more wooden arrows, thorny tree stumps, and sharp-edged rocks.
After all, their camp is now surrounded by a wall of stone and wood. If there is a monster or enemy attacking, it will be a proper siege! As a defender, the instruments they can use are not only guns and bows, but also some rolling logs.
, thunder stones, and hot oil must also be used, which can work wonders in a city defense battle~!
There is only one day left before the red moon rises. On this day, the morale in the Riot Chamber of Commerce camp is still high, and the training atmosphere is extremely strong.
After receiving Liu Xiao's order to go out for his last purchase, Abu ordered the camp gate to be completely closed and no one was allowed to go out again.
And the red moon is coming. Except for adventurers and mercenaries who want to take risks, no one dares to walk in the cursed land anymore.
Time, noon, less than twelve hours before the red moon rises.
Liu Xiao directed his employees to make final defensive arrangements at the top of the city.
He also placed the two heavy machine guns in a frontal position, facing the road outside the camp.
One side of the valley camp leads to their current camp, and the other three sides are surrounded by cliffs and mountains, which is relatively safer. The women and children of the orc tribe have all moved here. If any accident occurs, everyone will retreat into the mine.
The entrance is sealed inside.
All male employees were each assigned a bow and arrow, a rifle and some bullets, as well as a waist knife.
Mandela, who could not leave the river and go ashore, stayed by the river to prevent other evil spirits from destroying the public property of the Chamber of Commerce - the waterwheel.
As the sky got darker and darker, Liu Xiao ordered everyone to light a fire and cook. He cooked a large pot of mutton soup in a large iron pot, served it with steamed buns and flatbreads, and gave the employees a delicious meal.
Night fell completely, and there was deathly silence in the cursed land.
All the local residents have hid in cellars or sealed caves. They seem to be quite accustomed to the tide of red moon beasts. They have been hoarding food before, and now they are retreating into the shelter in an orderly manner like animals spending the winter.
The only exception is Liu Xiao’s Riot Chamber of Commerce!
At this moment, the Chamber of Commerce camp was brightly lit and solemn. More than a hundred fully armed employees were distributed at various defense points around the camp.
As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Xiang hopes that the human agent of the Creator will definitely advance and retreat with the employees.
He was currently wearing the chainmail and body armor that Arthur gave him, carrying a rifle on his back, a small pistol in his hand, a pair of knives on his waist, and several grenades hidden in his arms. If he was hit again,
Tie a red ribbon and you’ll be a proper Rambo~!
"Boss, the red moon is about to rise! The first wave of beasts will start within ten minutes after the red moon rises!"
Following Abu's reminder, everyone looked up to the sky.
At this time, the full moon, which originally exuded cool white light in the sky, was gradually shrouded in dark clouds.
Liu Xiao looked up at the sky without blinking. After the dark clouds slowly drifted away and the true face of the moon was finally revealed, everything around him seemed to be covered with a layer of blood-red~!
The red moon is coming!
The blood-red moonlight was shining down, and the cursed land seemed to come alive at this moment, turning into an ancient giant beast!
There was a strange noise in the distant forest.
At first, it was just sporadic rustling and breaking of branches, and then the sound became louder and louder, and the scope of the influence became wider and wider!
Five minutes later, Liu Xiao had the illusion that all the trees around their camp seemed to have come alive, rising up from the ground to join this terrifying evolutionary feast!
A loud howl pierced through the clouds resounded in the night sky, attacking everyone's fragile psychological defenses.
And this was a howl like a charge horn when two armies were fighting. As soon as the cry ended, the ground vibrated instantly!
"Here we go...the beast tide is coming!"
As Abu spoke, he subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand with both hands, and other employees could not help but feel nervous.
Liu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, he thought this was not a good sign.
The employees are too nervous! The fear of the unknown and the recent high-intensity training have made them too tense. They need to turn this nervousness into morale!
So now, they need guidance and controlled venting!
How to guide it? How to vent it?
Suddenly, a song flashed through Liu Xiao's mind, and the lyrics were clearly reflected in his memory, making him sing it unconsciously.
"Wolf smoke rises from the mountains and rivers. Looking north, dragon flags are rolling, horses are neighing, and swords are like frost.
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River. Who can resist it in twenty years?
Wherever the mad sword of hatred is directed, many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in a foreign country.
How can I regret dying a hundred times to serve my family and my country? How can I sigh with regret and be speechless with blood and tears in my eyes?
When the horse's hooves go south, people look north..."
The employees, who were originally so nervous that their lips were trembling, were all surprised when they heard this infectious and catchy melody coming from the boss's mouth.
Although they didn't quite understand what the lyrics meant, the blood and passion contained in them were successfully transmitted to everyone's body!
As Liu Xiao finished singing the first song and started the second song, there were already employees with good memories singing along with him.
By the third time, some employees were able to sing the lyrics loudly along with Liu Xiao.
During the fourth and fifth times, the singing voice became louder and louder, becoming more and more uniform! The morale of everyone was completely ignited at this moment!
Fear will turn into excitement! Timidity will turn into courage! Their worries will turn into the flash of anger from their guns!
"Protect the Chamber of Commerce Camp~~~Protect the Nine-Nine-Sixth Fortune~~~~Protect your own beautiful life in the future~~~!"
This is the common wish of every Riot Chamber of Commerce employee at this time!
