Chapter 457: Get together

"I don't think something is right."

This sentence made everyone stop grabbing their chopsticks and look at Li Chengxi.

"What's wrong? Wasn't it Qian Sen's call just now?"

"It was Qian Sen's voice, but it was very strange."

The first sentence he said was to ask if Li Chengxi was at home, which was completely nonsense.

In the past, every time Qian Sen confirmed the situation, whether he came directly to the door or called, he would say, "Is everything okay over there?"

After all, the Nine Sections had arranged surveillance personnel nearby to be responsible for security and monitoring everyone's actions, so there was no need to ask where Li Chengxi was.

In addition, it was also suspicious that the phone was broken.

Qian Sen was the regional head of the Nine Sections. He was very busy at work every day, and his mobile phone was used as a work tool. All of them were customized special products, not bought on the market.

The performance was not as good as the civilian flagship, but it was durable, with a strong signal and a certain degree of anti-interference ability.

How could this thing break casually?

Step back, even if it was broken, wouldn't it be better for Qian Sen to remove the SIM card and use his colleague's phone first?

He basically relies on mobile phones and computers for his daily work. It is very inconvenient without them. There is no need to borrow colleagues' mobile phones to make calls.

Let's take a step back and say that the above doubts are all due to Li Chengxi's nervousness, but Qian Sen's voice is not right.

It's not that there is a significant difference from Qian Sen's usual voice, but his spirit is not right.

Qian Sen usually speaks a little weak, and you can tell it's caused by overwork, but Qian Sen on the phone just now was very energetic.

Especially recently, the ninth department is very busy, Qian Sen can't have time to rest well, that is, it's impossible to be too energetic.

——I don't know if Qian Sen will want to cry for a while after hearing Li Chengxi's judgment.

Li Chengxi immediately found Qian Sen's number and called, and the receiver came out with a prompt "The phone you dialed is turned off."

The call didn't go through, and Li Chengxi found WeChat again, but whether it was a voice call or a message, Qian Sen didn't respond at all. It seems that what he said on the phone just now is true.

"You mean, there's something wrong with Qian Sen?"

"To be precise, Qian Sen on the phone just now is not right."

Jiu Ke and first-class contacts like Li Chengxi usually have a single line of contact, so once they lose contact, Li Chengxi has no second person to contact.

And Jiu Ke said that they arranged surveillance personnel nearby, but Li Chengxi didn't know their specific location at all.

However, Li Chengxi looked at the address book and thought we had other ways.

Lei Lei's best friend Gan Xiaoyan is also from Jiu Ke. Although she is an intern, she is at least half a staff.

I immediately found Gan Xiaoyan's number, but when I called her, it was still "The phone you dialed is turned off."

Now it can be basically confirmed that something has happened.

"Is there anyone else?"

"Emmm... I'll ask Lei Lei, the one who came to my house on the second day of the Chinese New Year, have you seen him?"

I found Lei Lei's phone number again, and this time I finally got through.

"Brother Li? Why did you call me all of a sudden?"

"It's urgent. Can you contact Gan Xiaoyan now?"

"Xiaoyan didn't come to school today. I heard it was her turn to work."

The voice on Lei Lei's side was a little noisy. It should be in the school cafeteria at this time.

"Maybe I'm too nervous. I think something might have happened."

Li Chengxi quickly told his guess. Lei Lei replied:

"It's indeed a bit suspicious. Brother Li, don't act rashly. I'll investigate."

"Well, you should be more careful too."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chengxi looked at the gods who were eagerly waiting for news:

"Not sure if it's coming for us, but at least be prepared in advance."

Really, everything happened at the same time!

Demon King Calendar, early March 649.

Eight o'clock in the morning, Kaimen City.

Viola stood on the tower of the city wall, watching the army in the distance approaching step by step, like a black tsunami, approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, she didn't know what trouble Li Chengxi had, and the army in front of her was what she cared about most.

The drumbeats of the war drums urged the army to march forward, and every beat hit the hearts of the soldiers defending the city.

The sound of the horns became one, and the huge war machine called the army came towards Viola head-on.

This princess in military uniform had never participated in such a large-scale war. In the past, her father and elder brother were responsible for the war with neighboring countries, and she could only read the war reports from the back every time.

And this time, Viola and her army will face this wave head-on.

The killing intent almost condensed into a physical entity, and as the enemy army approached, the strong sense of oppression was suffocating. The big bell on the tower of Kaimen City made a loud clanging sound, and all the soldiers were ready.

When the enemy army approached and was about to enter the effective range, the deafening drumbeats suddenly stopped, and the dark soldiers and weapons reflecting cold light stopped, and the entire battlefield was silent.

The sudden change caught people off guard, but Viola knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

——Woo!

The huge horn that was carried by a carriage and pumped with bellows at the rear of the army sounded, like a signal, a signal to start a war.

The drums and horns echoed each other again. The black-armored Tandelon Demon Kingdom army held their heads high and marched in neat steps towards the city wall again, entering the effective killing range of the crossbows.

The officers on Viola's side ordered the soldiers not to shoot arrows. Now the arrows would only hit the shields and armor of the enemy's vanguard, and would not have much effect at all.

However, the catapults and crossbows placed on the city walls could go crazy now.

With the terrible sound of breaking wind, huge spherical rocks were thrown from the city wall to the outside. The specially rounded rocks fell to the ground and began to roll with the shock. The soldiers who could not dodge were instantly crushed into meat patties.

However, this could not stop the enemy from approaching.

The catapults and crossbows can indeed cause effective casualties, but the enemy is numerous and the reloading time is also very long. It is estimated that when the army rushes to the bottom of the city wall, they will not be able to shoot a few rounds.

The catapults and crossbows are fired at the beginning. The biggest role is to kill morale, let the surrounding soldiers see what the consequences of being hit will be, and then deprive the enemy of the will to fight.

But as mentioned before, the army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom is not the frightened army of the Subia Demon Kingdom. Their morale is extremely high, and this loss is probably not worth seeing.

The second wave of catapults and crossbows had not yet been launched, and the enemy was already very close. The officers on the city wall immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.

Arrows flew up like a plague of locusts, and then fell from the sky in arcs like raindrops.

The army of the Tandron Demon Kingdom raised their shields. Their shields were very special. They were not iron-clad wooden shields or metal shields of ordinary armies, but rattan armor shields woven with fine rattan.

The Tandron Demon Kingdom has a well-developed water network and many forests. Relatively speaking, minerals are relatively rare, so the army from here uses local materials to make rattan armor shields with rattans and oil.

The advantage is that it is light and has good defense, but the disadvantage is that it is afraid of fire. If you are not careful, you may burn the rattan armor soldiers.

However, the Tandron Demon Kingdom also knows this shortcoming. Their only shield is rattan armor, and it will be over if it is ignited.

And because they carry less weight, their advance speed is much faster than that of ordinary troops. Now the vanguard has rushed to the city...
