Thick fog, endless thick fog, this gray-white and lifeless thing covers the entire world in sight, and even covers the entire planet. They stagnated in the air, occasionally flowing with the breeze, but never really dissipated for thousands of years. The sun that is about to set is lingering on the distant horizon. The last pale and feeble sunlight is dispersed in the dust and fog, maintaining the last moment of skylight at the end of the day. The sunlight makes people not think of warmth at all, but has a sense of warmth. Weird and desolate, a small group of travelers were silently walking in this thick fog and the remaining sunshine, hoping to reach the teleportation station before sunset: in this way, they could avoid the beasts at night and in the wilderness. Keeping company, nothing could be a worse night than that.

I found that driving in this environment is indeed an extremely boring thing. What makes me feel bad is not only the ubiquitous thick fog, but also the monotonous and vast Gobi Desert: there is nothing that can be called a landscape. There are no signs of vegetation or man-made signs that can bring comfort, let alone roads. There are only gravel and gravel in sight, covering the ground like a repetitive map, extending into layers of mist, forward and backward, left and right, no matter which direction you go, you can't feel yourself. On your way to another view, you will only see endless gravel and gravel emerging from the thick fog in front of you, only to disappear into the same fog behind you a moment later. I walked like this for a while, and I even had the illusion that I was not moving forward, but that the ground under my feet was rolling: people just mechanically took steps on this roller-like ground, keeping themselves standing still. That’s all.

In such a fog-shrouded wilderness. It is impossible not to get lost without special methods. We have wide-area mental scanning and various detection technologies, and the residents of Dark Moon use a skill they call pathfinding spells. To maintain their lives in the dense fog. The tall and thin night devil elf is the leader of this small team. In his hand is a shining disc suspended between reality and reality. In fact, it is a precise rune array. It should be able to match this. The geomagnetic field of the planet is linked to indicate the direction for the caster. The precision of this thing should be much easier to use than a compass. Based on the expressions on the faces of the three Josephs, I judged that this technology must be rare for people on earth.

Except for this pathfinding spell. They also have another way to identify the road, which is to rely on racial talent: the dog-tailed girl who talks like popping beans has been running back and forth in the team, like a real puppy, she will lie on the ground and sniff hard from time to time, and then laugh loudly. The Night Devil Elf didn't lead the way accurately, and the Night Devil Elf wasn't annoyed. He smiled and nodded every time. Then adjust the direction of travel. From this, we can judge that the monsters are not just as simple as having animal ears. Some of their physical abilities are probably as powerful as their corresponding animals.

I watched with a blank expression as Viska jumped up and down following the dog-tailed girl's example, and occasionally lay on the ground sniffing around. The temporarily grown cat tail was happily drawing circles in the air. I couldn't bear it. I want to tell her: Cats and dogs have different habits. Your current identity is Meowska, not Wangska...

Pandora was better, following along quietly, not bothered by her brother's bad taste at all, and obediently pretending to be a quiet little white cat. And I also discovered a situation. This girl has found another thing to do to relieve her boredom besides "Didi", which is to alternately shake her ears left and right. Although I know it is just a decoration, I feel a little suspicious when I see her having fun playing it. Is this girl hiding a pair of cat ears?

"How long do we have to go?" Girl Baodouzi ran back and shook the tall Night Demon Elf's arm vigorously.

"It's not far ahead," the Night Demon Elf said in a calm and calm tone, and then he coughed twice uncomfortably, "Ahem... this damn fog. It was foggy before, but now it's getting closer to opening the door, and the fog has become... It’s much more serious than before.”

Once the girl caught the topic, she would chirp a lot: "It is said that there is no such fog in Hessenwood. The fog on Redmoon is for recycling and purifying something. The Barbarian King is definitely right. But the sky without fog is What’s going on? I heard from people in the city above that you can see something called clouds in the sky over Hessenwood. Isn’t that just fog?”

"I don't know what clouds look like either." The Night Demon Elf shrugged. "That was a scene two thousand years ago. It is said that Redmoon was the same as Haysenwood in the past. But who knows what 'the same' looks like. Only those who have been to Haysenwood have seen the scenery there. We How can I get in touch with those big shots?"

My heart moved, and I tried to find a way to intervene in their conversation: "Speaking of which, a war is about to begin, right?"

"Starting a war? Well, that's right, but I'm still used to calling it opening the door like everyone else," the Night Demon Elf grinned, "Are you also concerned about opening the door? Ordinary people don't like to talk about this. .”

"I'm free," I rubbed my hands, showing a very interested look, "No one really knows what Haisenwood is like? What kind of people are needed to go to Haisenwood... Well, I mean to go to Haisenwood?" "

"Don't think about it. I was hoping to join the Beast Control Corps just like you. I also practiced swordsmanship for three years." The Night Demon Elf smiled and showed off his weak arms. "But I haven't entered yet." He was dismissed. The Beast Control Corps is not something that ordinary people can join. There are only tens of thousands of people in Redmoon who can fight with the Great Lord. If you can’t fight one against a hundred, you don’t even have to think about it.”

It seems that the so-called "Beast Control Corps" is the army led by Dark Moon Lord every time he attacks the above world. There is no doubt that there is a huge amount of information hidden here!

The Dark Moon War was a world war in which two planets devoted all their strength. The people on earth deployed millions of soldiers on both sides of a mountain range. So how many troops could be dispatched at one time by Dark Moon?

Anyway, it is impossible for a Dark Moon Lord to lead tens of thousands of people and sweep across the entire world. If that really happened, the people on the ground would not have to resist at all. The difference in fighting power is so great that there is no need to fight at all.

So in addition to the beast-controlling regiment mentioned by the Night Demon Elf in front of me...in every Dark Moon War, the other armies released by Lord Dark Moon to the earthly world...what are they? Is it the beast they "control", or...

I didn't struggle with this issue for too long, because a tall tower with flashing lights had vaguely appeared in the thick fog about a hundred meters ahead. The shape seemed familiar.

The dog-tailed girl with Explosive Beans jumped up and down happily: "Oh, oh, oh, it's here, it's here!"

"How come this teleportation station is exactly the same as the one on the ground..." Joseph muttered softly, rubbing his eyes. As he got closer to the tower, he could tell that it was actually a small teleportation station commonly used by people on the ground. Not only was the form similar, but the size of the tower and the base below were exactly the same. The only difference is that the top of the tower that is gradually emerging from the thick fog does not have a radiant little sun: that kind of little sun is a sacred tool of the Goddess Sect, used to hinder the approach of Dark Moon creatures, and of course it cannot be seen here. arrive.

Although there is no clear record in historical materials, it is in the general concept of people on earth. Those teleportation towers all over the world were built by people on the ground. They were military facilities built by people during the First War to fight against the powerful original sinners. Although the manufacturing blueprints for these facilities were lost after the third war, the people on the ground People are still proud of those mysterious towers - Joseph never expected that he would see such a familiar tower on the dark moon.

He was not surprised that the Dark Moon people also had teleportation technology, but that the two worlds that were supposed to be completely isolated and opposed not only had the same civilians, but also had the same landmark buildings!

I patted his shoulder and whispered: "Are you surprised? I estimate that your entire outlook on life will have to be shattered and reshaped within a day or two. The grudges between the earthly world and Dark Moon are not that simple. of."

Both Joseph and Anna glanced at me with strange expressions. These two happy enemies were indeed a little short-sighted, but they were not ignorant. If they couldn't hear what I said at this time, their lives would have been in vain for nearly thirty years. , but Qiao was completely silent at this moment: The elf brother clenched his fists inconspicuously, and his lips turned white from the exertion. The teleportation tower leading to the underground city was already close at hand, but Every time he took a step closer, his courage seemed to fade away. Seeing his reaction like this, I understood: People say people are timid when living close to home. He is afraid of being close to his mother.

Joseph finally looked like a good captain at this time. He quickly noticed Joe's mood and stepped forward to pat his alien brother on the shoulder: "Don't be so nervous. Why are you so scared now?"

As soon as Qiao showed a grateful look, Joseph jumped out the second half of the sentence without hesitation: "If you think about it, your mother may not be still alive, right?"

I slapped myself on the forehead: How did this idiot survive for nearly thirty years without being beaten to death?

The teleportation station used by the people of Dark Moon seems to be in much better condition than the one on the ground. The teleportation station technology on the ground has been lost for a long time, and now even the energy supply has begun to be limited. The teleportation tower on Dark Moon has obviously been carefully repaired. Every rune on its base sparkled. New and full of energy. The group of people arrived at the foot of the tower, just like when they used the ground teleportation station. Two people emerged from the small door under the tower. They were two short, fat vampires with dark skin. This is the first time I know that vampires can also look like Guo Gang...

They were a little surprised when they saw the group of more than a dozen people in front of them: "Hey, there are more and more people forming groups to go to the underground city recently. They are all there to pick people up or go to help."

The Night Demon Elf quickly asked: "Is the situation over there really the same as what people say? Is it already a mess?"

"No way," the site administrator waved his hand, "They are just a bunch of hypersensitive people talking nonsense. The people in the city have been living with us for hundreds of years. They know each other so well. Some of them are still homesick. They won’t smash our things. But it’s the right time for you to go and help. Although there hasn’t been a riot yet, it is indeed a bit chaotic.”

After chatting for a while, a group of us stood on the rune ring outside the teleportation tower. Here I discovered one thing: Regardless of the Dark Moon teleportation station or the above-ground teleportation station, their teleportation itself is free. This seems to be a convenient public place. facilities, but the teleportation station can make money in other ways. The teleportation station on the ground mainly provides fodder for horses and provides horse grooming services. The teleportation station on the dark moon sells newspapers and snacks - the enthusiastic night devil elf not only I bought myself a newspaper and a lot of dried fish and beef for all the monsters. Including the two "monsters" on our side.

"Brother, brother, I don't like eating dried fish." Viska complained to me in a low voice while biting the dried fish.

I pinched her cat ears: "You have to eat it, you are a cat now."

Maotong Loli pouted: "If I had known that I would have turned into a dog just now, I could eat beef jerky..."

Amidst Viska's muttering complaints, we were enveloped in a burst of white light. After a moment of dizziness, everyone arrived at a vast town square.

It turns out that the teleportation station here was built directly in the city. I guess this was originally done by the ruler of Dark Moon to facilitate surveillance and suppress the residents of the underground city at any time. After all, those 50,000 expeditionary troops were not good, law-abiding citizens of Dark Moon at the beginning.

"This...here..." Joe looked around at the surrounding scenery, his lips trembling and he could hardly speak a complete sentence. I can understand his mood: Although I have already guessed that the underground city is related to the 50,000 expeditionary army, but it is really I saw a city that was exactly the same style as the world on the ground, and saw so many people on the ground talking, walking, shouting and selling in front of my eyes. Moreover, this place was still on the dark moon, and Qiao was still too excited to speak. I also have some understanding of the architectural style of this world. Although I don’t know what the houses of the Dark Moon people are like, the city in front of me is obviously an above-ground style, and it can be vaguely seen from the buildings around the square. The structure of the northern fortress is made of rough wood and heavy stone. There are many city residents near the teleportation station, all of whom are familiar races: humans, elves, dwarves, and some I have never seen before. But they should also be from the above-ground races. They walked casually in the square, rested, or sold some gadgets around the teleportation station. They looked completely peaceful and everyday. Among these residents, I also saw the Dark Moon people. Although the number was small, I could still tell at a glance that they were frequent visitors to this city, or even residents who lived here all the time.

The people on the earth and the people of Dark Moon live in the same city in an incredibly harmonious way. And this is a city built on the dark moon. It is built on a planet that is imagined by people on earth as an abyss of hell and a demon's lair.

The trio of Iron Knights stared at all this in stunned silence, their views turning into ashes. Pieces fell to pieces.

"Are these three okay?" The Night Demon Elf who walked with us couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

I quickly shook my hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. They fainted and teleported. Just stay here for a while and they'll be fine."

"Oh," the Night Demon Elf did not doubt that he was there. He pulled his little team together and said goodbye to us. "Then let's say goodbye. It's getting late. I have to go find my relative early. By the way, you guys Is there a place to stay?"

"Yes, you go about your business." I waved goodbye to the other party with a smile. Although we only walked together, the impression of this night devil elf was quite good. Of course, there was a reason why he gave the two of us a height of 1.2 meters. Buying dried fish made me feel better. The dog-tailed girl who spoke like crazy beans quickly circled around all of us, sniffed hard and then grabbed Viska's hand to say goodbye: "Yeah, meow, I'll remember your smell next time." Looking for you to play!"

After bidding farewell to this group of temporary traveling companions, I led everyone away from the teleportation station platform, and then slapped each of the Iron Knight trio on the shoulders hard to wake them all up: "Come back to your senses, we are here now, Qiao, can you confirm that these are the expeditionary forces? Well, most of them are probably not anymore. They should be said to be descendants of the expeditionary forces..."

"Confirm, confirm!" Qiao nodded vigorously, "I also saw the Expeditionary Force's logo, and some houses still have those signs hanging on them... But... But this place... Why are the Dark Moon people with them? How did these expeditionary troops really survive? What happened to the four soldiers who came back to report the news? "

After being confused all the way, Brother Elf finally figured it out.

"Those four people may have been hypnotized, or they may have seen a scene, or they may not be the real four soldiers in the expeditionary force at all." I said casually, and led a group of people to the edge of the square. The disguises were removed from the alleys. By the way, now I suddenly realize that there seems to be no need to pretend at the beginning. Seeing the Dark Moon people on the ground and seeing the people on the Earth are completely different concepts. There is a city built by the people on the earth, so the Dark Moon people see the people on the ground. People shouldn't be surprised either.

But we can’t make a judgment on this: What if this city doesn’t allow people on the ground to leave at will? Then if we run around in the wilderness as humans, we might attract a bunch of people to watch, so it’s still good to be cautious.

Pandora and Viska also put away their cat ears. When I looked at them, I felt very regretful: in fact, these two little girls are quite suitable for this kind of dressing up, especially Viska. Her eyes are like a cat. It's a pity that I didn't have the nerve to say it directly: Miss Lin was watching from the side, and she complained about it for a long time just by saying "meowska".

"Since those expeditionary troops were indeed not dead, then General Angeli should still be alive. I remembered that the book said that General Angeli was still very young when she disappeared." Anna rubbed her eyes, and for the first time, her eyes The things she was wearing made her feel a little uncomfortable, "Maybe she manages this city. You should be able to figure out what's going on here by finding her - we'll be halfway there if we find the city council hall."

"You mean that big house across the square?" Bingtis raised her hand and pointed behind her with her thumb. We looked in the direction of her finger, and found that there was a tall three-story building opposite the square, with "Meetings" at the door. The three characters "hall" can be seen here.
