Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 357: Underworld Trackers
After hearing what Mo Fan said, Zhao Manyan was also a little stunned.

He didn't hear any hint of joking in Mo Fan's tone.

Before he could ask, Mo Fan had already hung up the phone. It was probably easy to be noticed when making a phone call near HJT, so Mo Fan didn't dare to say anything more.

"Hey, hey, don't go!" Zhao Manyan came to his senses at this time and hurriedly ran towards the female officer.

The female officer turned around with a look of disgust on her face. She glared at Zhao Manyan angrily, who seemed to have a bad temper.

"We are the leaders of the prevention team. My companion just sent an important message, asking you to immediately put the Zhenbeiguan Fortress City on full alert!" Zhao Manyan shouted to the female officer.

The rank of this female officer is not low, which can be easily identified from the military badge on her chest. However, Zhao Manyan does not know where the city general is here, nor does he know who has the authority. He can only notify the one with the highest rank he sees!

"What do you think this place is!" the female officer said angrily.

A damned playboy, a man who has no respect for the ancient Great Wall, is not worth having any words with!
"I'm not kidding you now, so immediately, notify your city generals to be on full alert!" Zhao Manyan said very seriously at this time. While saying this, he did not forget to reveal his identity as a member of the prevention team. Although it was a temporary identity, it still had a certain degree of persuasiveness.

At this time, several officers next to the female officer couldn't help but burst into laughter.

One of them was a tall and handsome man who said, "We have seen many people find various excuses to get to know our boss. This is the first time I have seen the method you used. But you know that lying about military intelligence is a serious crime. If you quickly take back your nonsense, we will just pretend that we didn't hear it."

“Fuck you, are you all blind? I told you I’m from the prevention team.” Zhao Manyan was furious.

Is the identity of this prevention group just a decoration? These soldiers seem to have never even heard of it. Since they have no real power, what is the point of this prevention group!
"What's your name?" asked the female officer.

“Zhao…” Zhao Manyan was used to using his pseudonym, but he realized that this would make his words less convincing, so he showed his Imperial Government Medal and said, “I’m Zhao Manyan, a member of the Imperial Government in the World Academy Contest, and I’m currently the deputy leader of the seventh team of the Prevention Team. I’m not kidding you, and my companion Mo Fan wouldn’t joke with his own life either, so, go tell your commander-in-chief here to be on full alert right now!”

Zhao Manyan spoke in a very loud voice, almost yelling at the group of people. Lin Ran's disappearance had already made him feel bad, and Mo Fan's words made him even more angry.

He trusted Mo Fan very much. He knew that Mo Fan would not use that tone easily, and there were no unnecessary words or emotions.

The female officer looked at Zhao Manyan silently, and her eyes involuntarily looked towards the north.

Just as some of her men were about to speak, she raised her hand and stopped them from speaking.

After a moment, the female officer said, "All lines on alert."

"I asked you to inform your commander-in-chief and put the whole line on alert. Your shouting for full alert is useless." Zhao Manyan was furious at this moment. He wanted to beat up this arrogant and self-righteous woman right now.

The female officer looked at Zhao Manyan silently. She said with dignity and determination, "I am the commander-in-chief here."

……

All forces are on alert, which means that no matter whether they are on duty, off duty, waiting for instructions, or in charge of important military tasks and logistics in the surrounding areas, military magicians, intelligence officers, and reserve combat personnel must all take action and rush to the designated battlefield as soon as possible.

Zhenbeiguan Fortress City is a very typical magic market and defensive city. There are very few ordinary residents here, most of whom are magic merchants, hunters, soldiers, practitioners, and magic association personnel. Because the wild beasts in the northern border invade all year round, war martial law has been maintained here. There are rarely exercises for full alert situations like this, and once the full alert order is issued, there must be a war, so if the on-duty personnel are negligent, they will be directly dealt with by military law!
Arriving at Zhenbei Stone Tower, the female commander Bin Wei changed into a combat uniform, and then wrapped herself in the tight military uniform she usually wore to shape her body. In an instant, her whole temperament changed drastically. When Zhao Manyan looked at her again, he realized that he had bumped into a person of the same level as Egyptian General of the Staff Finner. However, the most important thing was why this female officer looked so young, fair and beautiful that she could easily be mistaken for a vase.

"If there is any mistake, I will hang your head on the city gate!" Bin Wei glanced at Zhao Manyan at this time. The first impression she had of this man was that he was very frivolous and ignorant.

However, his identity as a member of the prevention team and the national government forced Bin Wei to take it seriously. If something extremely bad happened because of her prejudice, it would be a serious dereliction of duty for her as a staff general.

Although she was not very familiar with the Prevention Group, there was an order from above that all the city defense commanders must refer to the information provided by the Prevention Group and then make some decisions.

"Sir, are we making a big deal out of nothing? Even if he is from the prevention team, wouldn't it be fine to increase the alert to the first level? If you issue a full-line alert order so easily, if there is a mistake, it will seriously affect your prestige. You must know that many leaders will also make all kinds of attacks on you for misjudging this time." said the tall and heroic male adjutant.

"Yes, there are so many people eyeing your position right now. Maybe this guy was sent by our enemy to deliberately make you make a mistake and then impeach you..."

"It is very appropriate to increase the level of alert by one level. If that doesn't work, we can increase it by two levels. This way, we will not be considered negligent or violating military law. And most importantly, if something goes wrong, the blame will not fall on you." said another military adviser.

……

"There is still no sound. If the level really requires full alert, then how could there be no movement? What is this woman with her brain on her chest doing? Is she treating us as her puppet soldiers?" On the city wall, a very dissatisfied voice of a team leader came out.

"I told you that nothing good would happen when this woman took this kind of position. We were on patrol all night before, and we finally had a chance to close our eyes for a while, and then we were called up!!"

"No, we must find a way to get rid of this woman. Before, people said that she relied on that to get to the top. I didn't believe it at first, but now I think it must be true!"

At this time, voices of dissatisfaction were heard from the sentry towers, walls, watchtowers, towers, and front-line post stations. As a qualified commander-in-chief, he must make the most accurate judgment based on intelligence, current conditions, momentum, and the number of enemy troops. Now this full-line alert is the highest level of defense measure, which is equivalent to the bloody alert of the city. The mobilization of personnel, the opening of the barrier, the activation of defense equipment, the allocation of materials... Even if it is just an exercise, the consumption is quite large!
……

All kinds of sounds soon came back to Commander-in-Chief Bin Wei, but her eyes were still staring towards the north.

At this time, several colleagues around her have begun to discuss how to minimize the losses caused by this mistake. They think this is an absurd order.

"I still don't quite understand why you do this." An adjutant stood next to Binwei, his voice sounding a little depressed.

"We are called Zhenbei Tower here, and our eyes are always looking back, but in fact, what we really care about is the north or what is behind us?" Bin Wei asked.

"But..." The adjutant suddenly didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"You guys are thinking about what kind of positions the enemy is thinking about, but I'm thinking about YL City, Anqin City, Feihuang City, Zhongning City behind me... and those who live behind this line of defense and have no combat capabilities. This is probably the real reason why the military needs some female officers. Men are always thinking about how to kill the enemy, how to raid, how to gain military merit, and then ignore the most essential things. You always think this is an absurd act and there is no enemy at all... But what if there really is an enemy? I won't gamble with so many lives, not just now, but if in the future I still issue a similar full-line alert order, be it scolding or impeachment, as long as I'm still in this position, I won't let the Central Plains behind Zhenbei Tower be threatened." Bin Wei said.

Zhao Manyan, who was standing by, was touched when he heard these words. He completely changed his opinion of the female commander.

At this time, the fortress was on full alert, the towers were filled with mages, and the wind and light mages on the sentry posts were ready to convey battle orders at any time. The captains, army commanders, and garrison officers of all parties had already been concentrating, keeping an eye on the movements in the north. Even the ancient Great Wall that stretched out like a mountain ridge was now more majestic and solemn than before! !

silence……

Whether it is the land covered with loess or the fortress city that was bustling before, everything has become extremely quiet now. Even if there is a lot of dissatisfaction and prejudice in their hearts, they can only curse verbally and mutter in their hearts. During the period of full alert, no one can question the commander-in-chief about this.

Zhao Manyan was also quite nervous. On the one hand, he was worried about the terrible crisis that Mo Fan mentioned. On the other hand, the solemn and cold atmosphere and fighting spirit of the entire Zhenbei Pass made him a combatant. This was much more solemn and well-trained than the defensive aura of a city. It was obvious that this place often experienced wars!

"Sir." Suddenly the adjutant couldn't help but speak.

“Don’t talk!!!” Binwei’s eyes were fixed on the land outside the Great Wall. She was like a leopard with its hair standing up, ready to pounce.

She seemed to have caught something that no one else noticed. Her expression was extremely focused, and a murderous aura emanated from her delicate body!

At this moment, the lieutenants around her could also feel it.

Something is really coming...

And the breath is very strong!
The wind blew, and suddenly yellow soil filled the sky and the earth. It was so foggy that one couldn't see very far.

The dust was rolling, and suddenly a figure like a person slowly appeared on the yellow land under the Zhenbeiguan Fortress, and it was moving forward step by step!
"Keng!!Keng!!!"

At this time, the sound of metal rubbing against the ground came from there, and it sounded particularly harsh.

They had never seen such a creature before, but they stared at it with rapt attention...

"Is that a copper chain on its back?" an officer on the lookout tower asked in astonishment.

This was a person who looked like a wandering refugee. His clothes were tattered and even stained with a lot of strange dirt. He had a stout body and his skin was like the bark of a dead tree, dry and lifeless. He was wearing a thick copper chain, which was about the thickness of an adult's wrist. The two circles completely tied this ragged person.

It was obviously moving forward with a heavy load. Every step it took would leave a deep footprint on the loess ground, and then the blue veins all over its body would burst out!
At this time, in the Zhenbeiguan fortress city, people's faces were filled with confusion.

What the hell is this thing? It’s neither human nor human. Although it looks very strong, it also looks a bit exhausted. It looks tired, exhausted, and full of dissatisfaction and resentment...

Is this the creature that the entire Zhenbeiguan Fortress City needs to be on full alert for? ?
Just when they were extremely confused, a similar figure appeared in the dust.

In fact, the other figure was standing on the same level as the creature carrying the copper and iron chains, but after the yellow dust was blown away, they saw that there was something else!!

As the flying yellow dust covering the distance gradually dissipated, more and more strong men carrying copper chains appeared. They exerted their strength together and moved forward together. With each step forward, they let out a low roar like a wild beast, as if they were exerting all their strength.

Lin Ran felt the restlessness of the undead. He opened his eyes and vaguely saw the city wall and Zhao Manyan. This guy was here.

By the way, where is Mo Fan? Did Mo Fan go to look for the HJT people?

Lin Ran had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he soon calmed down. What he had to do now was to get rid of the restrictions as soon as possible and regain his freedom.
