Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 457 Rushing together
"I don't think something is right."

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

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

"It's Chanson's voice, but it's weird."

The first thing he said was to ask whether Li Chengxi was at home, which was complete nonsense.

In the past, whenever Qian Sen checked on the situation, whether he visited directly or called, he would always ask, "Is everything okay over there?"

After all, Section 9 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.

Also, the fact that the phone was broken was suspicious.

Qian Sen is the regional head of Section 9. He is very busy at work every day and uses his mobile phone as a work tool. All of them are customized special products, not those bought on the market.

The performance is not as good as the civilian flagship, but it is durable, has a strong signal, and has a certain anti-interference ability.

How could this thing break down so easily?

To take a step back, even if it is 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 the tools, and there is no need to borrow colleagues' mobile phones to make calls.

Taking a step back, the above doubts are all due to Li Chengxi being overly nervous, but Qian Sen’s voice is not right either.

It’s not that there is a noticeable difference between Qian Sen’s voice and usual voice, but the spirit is not right.

Normally Qian Sen spoke in a weak voice, and one could tell it was due to overworked liver. But the Qian Sen on the phone just now seemed very energetic.

Especially recently, Section 9 has been very busy, so Qian Sen has no time to rest properly, which means he can't be very energetic.

——I wonder 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 him, but a message came from the receiver saying "The number you dialed is powered off."

The call didn't go through, so Li Chengxi found WeChat again, but Qian Sen didn't respond to any voice calls or messages. It seemed that what he said on the phone just now was true.

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

"To be precise, there was something wrong with Qian Sen on the phone just now."

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

Moreover, Section 9 said that they had arranged surveillance personnel nearby, but Li Chengxi had no idea where they were exactly.

However, Li Chengxi looked at the address book and found that we have other ways.

Lei Lei’s good friend Gan Xiaoyan is also from the Ninth Department. Although she is an intern, she is at least a half-staff member.

I immediately looked up Gan Xiaoyan's number, but when I called her the response was still "The number you dialed is powered off."

Now it can be basically confirmed that something has definitely happened.

"Is there anyone else?"

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

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

"Brother Li? Why are you calling me out of the blue?"

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

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

The noise coming from Lei Lei's end was a bit noisy, so they should be in the school cafeteria at this time.

"Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive. I think something might have happened." Li Chengxi quickly told his guess, and Lei Lei replied:
"It's indeed a bit suspicious. Brother Li, don't act rashly. I'll investigate."

"Well, you should be more careful."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chengxi looked at the gods who were eagerly waiting for news:
"I'm not sure if it's coming for us, but at least we should be prepared in advance."

Really, things just came together!

Demon King Calendar, early March of the year 649.

At 8 am, the city opens.

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 encountered. The army in front of her was what she was most concerned about.

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

The horns sounded as one, and a huge war machine called the army came towards Viola.

This princess in military uniform had never participated in such a large-scale war. In the past, her father and elder brother were in charge of wars with neighboring countries, and she could only watch the battle reports from the rear every time.

This time, Viola and her army will face the wave head-on.

The killing intent almost solidified into a physical entity. As the enemy approached, the strong sense of oppression was suffocating. The big bell on the city wall of Kaimen City rang loudly, and all the soldiers were ready for battle.

When the enemy was close enough to be within effective range, the deafening drumbeats suddenly stopped, the crowds of soldiers and weapons reflecting cold light all stopped, and the entire battlefield fell silent.

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

——Woo!

A huge horn located behind the army, carried on a horse-drawn carriage and pumped with bellows, sounded like a signal, a signal to start a war.

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

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

However, the catapults and crossbows installed on the city walls can now go wild.

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

But this could not stop the enemy from approaching.

Catapults and crossbows can indeed cause effective casualties, but the enemy is large in number and the reloading time is also very long. It is estimated that by the time the army rushes to the bottom of the city wall, they will not be able to fire more than a few shots.

The catapults and crossbows are fired at the beginning of the game. Their biggest function is to damage morale, allowing the surrounding soldiers to see the consequences of being hit, thereby depriving the enemy of their will to fight.

But as I said 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 little loss is probably not worth looking at.

The second wave of catapults and ballistae 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.

Swarms of arrows rose into the sky 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 one after another. Their shields were very special. They were not the iron-clad wooden shields or metal shields of ordinary armies, but rattan armor shields woven with fine rattan strips.

The Demon Kingdom of Tandelon has a well-developed water network and numerous forests, but minerals are relatively rare, so the army that came from here used local materials and made rattan armor shields with the vines that were all over the ground and supplemented with oil.

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

However, the Demon Kingdom of Tandron also knew this shortcoming. Their only shields were rattan armor, which would be destroyed if they were set on fire.

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...
