Above the mage!

Chapter 88: City Attack
Harvest Moon, 2st.

At 6:30 in the morning, Gao De got up on time.

Since coming into this world, he has developed the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

Who made this world without “mobile phones”!
After waking up, he first did a simple half-hour exercise as usual, then took a shower and started preparing today's breakfast:

This is a "vegetable porridge from another world" made by boiling wheat and some vegetables.

After finishing his breakfast, Gao De looked at the time on his pocket watch. It was not yet eight o'clock, and he still had an hour before his work start.

He simply began to think about what he needed to prepare for his trip to Saint Sean City.

After much consideration, the best option at the moment is to travel by water.

Although there is no direct waterway connecting Bremen and Saint-Sien, it is necessary to cross different water systems and land, and transfer in at least five or six cities.

Taking into account factors such as season, water flow, wind direction and stops along the way, the entire journey will take at least several months.

But compared to traveling by land, it is at least much safer and less likely to get into accidents.

However, such a long journey obviously cannot be set off at will, and adequate preparations must be made.

Dang Dang Dang!
Dang Dang Dang!
Dang Dang Dang!
Just as Gao De was still concentrating on thinking, a burst of urgent alarms suddenly sounded, echoing back and forth throughout the city, interrupting his thoughts.

He was also surprised when he heard the voice.

This is a city-wide alarm.

"What happened?"

He opened the door and tried to look out onto the street to see what was happening.

He found that most of the people in the surrounding houses were also opening their doors to watch, just like him.

Everyone is very confused.

Because they didn't find anything unusual, they couldn't understand why the alarm bells were ringing.

But everyone's doubts were soon answered.

Strange mechanical birds, resembling clockwork toys, were already launched from the center of the city the moment the alarm sounded.

They spread out in all directions and flew to every corner of the city.

The mechanical bird spread its wings that shone with light and flew low over every block and street at an extremely fast speed.

These mechanical birds emit a sound that seems to be synthesized by machines, which is clear and cold:

"Around Hogan City, the earth veins are regenerating, and the creatures in the earth veins are rioting and attacking the surrounding cities. Now a large number of ferocious bats are attacking Bremen City."

"All residents outside, please go home as soon as possible, close the door, and do not go out before receiving formal notification, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

"I also sincerely call on all mages in Bremen who have mastered offensive spells to defend against the attacks of the ferocious bats."

"Anyone who participates in the defense, regardless of conditions, will receive a reward of 5 gold coins, and a 1st level mage will receive a reward of 20 gold coins."

"In addition, every time you participate in killing a ferocious bat, you will be rewarded with an extra gold coin! Those who are interested can immediately go to the city walls to register and wait for dispatch!"

The command was concise and powerful, like an invisible spell.

First, those who heard it fell into tense silence, and then they scattered in an instant like frightened rabbits, rushing back to their homes and closing the doors and windows!

Gao De took a deep breath as he looked at the street that had become empty in the blink of an eye, and the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street that were closed.

It happened as expected.

The earth veins are reborn.

Even the city of Bremen, which is so far away from the city of Hogen, is about to be attacked by the creatures from the earth veins.

It is conceivable what kind of horrific attack the city of Hogan, which is adjacent to the new earth veins, will experience.

Standing at the door, Gao De hesitated for a moment and then made a decision.

He closed the door.

But instead of going back to the house, he headed straight for the nearest city wall.

That's right, Gode will respond to the call from Bremen and participate in the defense.

Putting aside the so-called principle of "lips and teeth are cold", the generous conditions alone are attractive enough. As a mage, as long as you participate in defense, you will get 5 gold coins unconditionally, and there will be additional rewards for participating in killing underground creatures.

Most importantly, the attacking earth vein creatures were a large group of ferocious bats, which were the same kind of earth vein creatures.

This means that he is very likely to gain some new origin in this defensive battle!
As for the possible dangers.
Gao De really needs to think twice before letting him go out of the city to hunt underground creatures.

Now we are on the city wall, fighting and defending together with a bunch of mages. With real mages in the front, the danger is actually very low.

Gode ​​also did not believe that Bremen, as the largest city in the Bremen area, would not be able to cope with the attack of a group of earth vein creatures.

There are definitely not many opportunities like this.

There is no reason not to participate!

When Gaode arrived at the city wall closest to the Cammond District, he found that many people were already queuing at the entrance of the stairs to the city wall.

They are all mages from the city who have come to participate in the defense. They are basically mage apprentices. They are being reviewed by official staff of the city of Bremen and are receiving their remuneration.

The 5 gold coins as reward were actually paid out before the battle!

This shows the official sincerity.

Gaode watched from the sidelines for a while and found that the so-called review was very lax.

Everyone goes forward to register with the staff in charge of registration and registers their own wizard level. They do not even need to disclose the specific attack spells they have mastered, and they will directly receive 5 gold coins.

Then, they will be assigned to different teams according to the allocation of staff.

The captain of each team is the official magician.

"It is estimated that ferocious bats will attack in another thirty minutes. Mages who want to participate in the defense should speed up!" the leading manager urged loudly.

Gao De no longer hesitated and immediately joined the queue.

But after a while, it was his turn.

"name?"

"Google Ditto."

"Mage level?" the registration staff asked without even looking up.

"Second-class apprentice."

"Okay, you go to Team 5." The staff member handed over five gold coins and arranged a place for Gao De.

Five gold coins were immediately obtained and the specific arrangements were also completed. The whole process took no more than ten seconds, which was quick and neat.

Gao De put away the five gold coins and, following the instructions of another staff member, joined a team of more than a dozen people gathered nearby.

It should be team seven.

Coincidentally, his joining allowed Team Seven to be reorganized.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, one of the mages who was wearing a uniform and was obviously affiliated with the official said, "Everyone, I will be the captain of our temporary team from now on. You will follow my command in the future actions. My name is Li Luo."

"There are seventeen people in our team, including me. There are six third-class mage apprentices and eleven second-class mage apprentices. We need to defend a 100-meter section of the west city wall."

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Everyone answered in unison, very cooperative.

Although this captain is only a third-class mage apprentice, there are five other people in the team who are at the same level as him.

But whether it was his identity as an official wizard or the fierce temperament he displayed, he was able to completely dominate the situation.

And we are not fools. We know that this kind of situation is not the time to show our personality. It is definitely safer to follow the instructions of experienced people.

"If it's okay, follow me!"

Lilo led a group of people along the inner road of the city wall, climbed up the city wall, and came to the section of the wall that the team was responsible for defending.

On the city wall, fully armed city guards had already prepared everything, including fortifications, waiting for the arrival of the ferocious bats.

They are the main defensive force in this battle.
