Boom! boom! boom!"Come out, gophers, I'll feed you every day instead of raising pigs... Come out quickly, you won't want me to wake you up with a whip..."
It's dark before dawn dim. The miners were woken up from their slumbers by loud knocks and insults.
After greeting each other's female family members in a low voice, the miners rubbed their eyes and struggled from the bed. Followed by a simple wash, and then walked to the mining area with the brown bread that served as two meals.
"Ah..." David raised his head and yawned loudly, rubbing the wound on his chest whispered, "Damn, these damned guys, the door slammed so loudly, it made me embarrassed. "
"Haha, you are overreacting. Throw the bed over, tsk tsk, You're quite something!"
David scratched his hair: "** , can you blame me? I thought the pursuers came over."
... Tang En couldn't help laughing when he looked at David, who was beside him with a grumpy expression.
When the overseers came to smash the door this morning, David jumped off the side of the bed, picked up the wooden bed next to him, and ran loudly roared... If it wasn't for Miksu, who was sleeping beside him, his eyes and hands quickly grabbed him. , I'm afraid that the bed has been thrown out. The people in the room were not called up by the overseer, but were completely awakened by David's roar, and then they all looked at him stupidly, speechless... "Hey, it's strange, look, why are there so many in the sky? Birds are flying!" Seeing that the tendency to laugh increased, David suddenly pointed to the sky in surprise.
"Haha, David, your ability to change the subject is too bad!" Someone saw through David's purpose, ruthless said with a big smile.
David blushed: "It's what it is, you see. Uh, it even hit the mountain, this stupid bird!"
"It's okay, it's all right. Go in, Old Bill is still waiting." Tang En waved the crowd into the mine, then raised his head unconsciously.
There are indeed many birds in the dimly lit sky, but their flight paths appear to be everything in disorder, like a little panic. tsk tsk, the early bird catches the worm, but at least your eyesight needs to be better... Mining is not simple physical work, Tang En and the newbies take two days to learn. When everyone walked to yesterday's passage, they saw Old Bill waiting there. There were a few people next to him, who seemed to have just arrived.
That old Bill was quite excited to see Tang En and the others. After saying hello, he started to talk nonsense. Myriad had everything. Yesterday, a miner was beaten to death with rare ore. Well, his family told him not to do it this year, etc., etc., etc.
Everyone was driven up early in the morning, and their spirits were naturally not very good, so they all responded. That old Bill didn't mind either, and was still talking on his own.
After arriving at the mine road yesterday, Old Bill finally remembered that he still had something to teach, so everyone's ears became clear. The next step is monotonous mining. Tang En is not very interested in this, so he turned on the Spying skill and swept around. After digging a few pieces of ore to show Old Bill, the latter went to teach others.
Today, they were going to stay here for a day. Tang En naturally didn't want to waste time, so he found a place to sit and took the opportunity to enter the space again. Then come out and put on another piece every once in a while.
But just as Tang En entered the space for training again, the light curtain suddenly began to vibrate. He came out quickly, only to feel the soles of his feet shaking slightly. Is this... an earthquake?
"Everyone, don't panic." Old Bill said to appease the panicked crowd, "It's just a slight ground shake, it's normal in the mine, you'll know it after you stay here for a long time."
Old Bill has been mining for many years, and his words are naturally convincing. This was indeed the case afterwards, and the tremor soon subsided.
Tang En frowned at this moment, not because he didn't believe Old Bill, he just thought of the few tremors last night and felt a little uneasy in his heart. If there is an earthquake, in such an environment, no matter how high the strength is, it is useless.
It shouldn't be so coincidental...Tang En pressed down the unease in his heart, and it is useless to think about these now, because miners are not allowed to go out of the mine before the time is up. Next, Tang En never entered the space, but chose to stay outside to pay attention to the surrounding movement.
But maybe as Old Butler said, the ground has been calm and tranquil for the next few hours.
At noon, uh, in fact, when they were hungry, everyone took a short break, and they all took out dry brown bread to eat. Right at this moment, Ling Ling Ling... "en?" Everyone turned their heads collectively, and looked a little dazed at the shaking bells above the lighting crystal in the distance. It's a day so soon?
"Everyone, come out with me." Old Bill got up and said, "There might be some situation outside."
"The situation?"
"Well, There may be many, I can't say for sure, let's go out and see."
It's a good thing to be able to go out, Tang En was the first to go forward. There were many miners on the road, like streams slowly merging into the sea, and people from various branch roads poured out.
After walking for about half an hour, everyone came out of the mine. At this time, the mining area seemed very restless. The fully armed soldiers have been assembled in the open space, and some war equipment has also been transported from the warehouse... Unable to see much, Tang En and they were asked to go back to their respective wood houses.
"Arthur's brother." As soon as he entered the wood house, Frey, who had already returned, greeted him.
"Frey, this is..." Tang En asked, pointing to the outside.
"Oh, it's supposed to be a robbery, it has nothing to do with us." Frey said indifferently.
"Grab the mine?"
"Yeah, Arthur, brother, you are new here, and you don't know anything about it. Everyone wants this thing, but that's what has been discovered. Naturally, there will be people who want to sit back and enjoy the success and grab it directly."
"Understood!" To put it bluntly, it's all about profit. A gold coin pipeline.
"This kind of thing happens almost once a month, and when the other party can't fight, it will automatically withdraw." After that, Frey laughed, "This is also a good thing for us, at least it can be Take a long break. Haha..."
"That's true!" Tang En said with a smile.
The mining area was attacked, and these miners naturally had to be managed in a unified manner to avoid riots or fish in troubled waters.
Soon, after and the others had arrived, the gate was locked outside. Except for Tang En and the others, everyone in the house was used to it. Some climbed into the bed and started to sleep and rest, while others took out tools to set up gambling games, and they were very happy to play.
Damn, the defense is really strict... I heard Frey say that this place is often attacked, and Tang En had a little idea in his heart, but when he saw the soldiers who kept running outside, he couldn't help but curse. one sound.
"Arthur, Boss, do you want to play some hands?" greeted a brawny man who ate and drank with them last night.
"hehe, thank you, let's play." Tang En shook the head and walked to his bed.
After two hours like this, a person casually looked towards the window and said surprisedly: "Hey, why are there so few soldiers outside?"
"Yo, that's true. It's tough, we don't have enough manpower to transfer it."
"It's very possible! Hey, you guys say, will this place be beaten down?"
"Shut our ass Even if it is beaten down, we are still miners, and those people won't give more meat to eat."
"Uh, that's true!"
I can hear them talking , Tang En walked to the window. Sure enough, the soldiers who were very dense just now have only a few squids left, but there are still a large group of archers guarding there. At this moment, huā lā...the door lock was pried, and then the door was pushed open.
Everyone looked towards the door, and saw a large group of people pouring in. It seems that they have just been killed, and these people are more or less bloodstained on their bodies, bang, bang - in the continuous metal crash, some soldiers threw piles of swords, spears and axes in front of everyone.
Immediately, a middle-aged brawny man with a black beard came out and glanced around: "I don't want to say any nonsense, from now on you will be requisitioned. This is a weapon, you choose one and come out ."
"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and they were a little confused about the situation. Some people with shackles have a slightly changed complexion. Obviously, the battle situation outside must be tight, otherwise they will not be thought of. This is like on the battlefield, and sometimes prisoners are used to fight. Of course, these prisoners are all playing cannon fodder roles... The middle-aged brawny man with black beards didn't respond to the crowd, frowned, and pointed at random: "You, come out and get weapons!"
" I, I, I..." The man opened his mouth, watching the pile of weapons in front of him constantly waving his hands and backing up again and again.
Whoosh-bang!
A powerful arrow pierced the man's brow instantly, and immediately flew him away, hitting the wall.
Wow, everyone was in a commotion immediately upon seeing this.
Squeaky, a group of archer bend bow and place arrow pointed at them, and the crowd immediately fell silent again.
"Now, does anyone have an opinion?"
