Chapter 9 Franzel Excavation Site

"To the left, then to the left, okay, put it down, slow down, are you in a hurry to go to have a meal? To slow down, yes, this speed is off, a little to the right, it's here, put, put, put, put, go, get done."

"Use some strength, boys, try harder and dig another meter to rest. The one over there is a gentle move. Do you think you are wrought iron? If you shovel down this shovel, if you hit a record slab, then you are the sinner of Pavattiga. Be gentle, hey, you are too light, are you giving the ground massage? Swear by my beard, you definitely did it on purpose."

"Dingding Dingding, Dingdangdang."

"A little deeper, it's thirty centimeters longer. The crystal must be detonated deep in order not to cause damage to the structure of the ancient city. Stop and stop, don't you hear the sound, right? What did you chisel? I know it's a rock, do you think it's just a rock? The city walls are also made of rocks, and ancient buildings are also made of rocks. Who knows what you chiseled? Let me see, the torch, give me some light, I'll see, um, continue chiseling, it's rocks."

"Hahaha, I knew there were treasures, remembering camel skins, and it was a great harvest. Don't touch them, put down your hands for more than four thousand years, even the camel skins can't hold on, and you will break when you touch them. Cook, damn, Cook, you damn old thing, have you been sunburned? If you haven't died, just come over for me and see what I have found. Hahaha, help me solidify this animal skin book. If you fail, be careful I will burn your beard."

"The magic fluctuates, there are magic fluctuations below. You guys, those who don't want to die will retreat. This is not something you can move casually. Kevin, don't be lazy, come and help me control the ambient temperature. It's thirty degrees constant. If the temperature is high, no one cares about you. You guys, I told you to retreat a little further. What's the good thing about it? Why are you so close? If something happens, I won't have anything to do. You guys will die."

"Wow, the wreckage of the Heart of the City, I was the first to discover the wreckage of the Heart of the City, hahaha, I said the Heart of the City should be in this position. You guys who may see the God of the Underworld at any time are all a group of idiots. They dare to say that I have calculated it wrong. Bah, when you didn't know how to count, I had already started dealing with the pioneering ruins. Maybe I have calculated it wrong?"

It was another day of great harvest, and it was already afternoon. Although the weather was hot, the excavation site was still noisy. The experts of the excavation team were distributed in different areas in groups of three or three, and each commanded the workers to dig. The average age of these experts was at least fifty or sixty years old, but each one was more energetic than the young people. They ran around in the scorching sun, and their clothes were already soaked without caring about sweat.

If you look farther away, you can see the full picture of the excavation site.

This is a very formal camp, just like a military camp or a militarized mercenary camp. The camp with a diameter of about 400 meters is surrounded by a loess wall, and a circle of horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse-rejected horse

There are twenty earthy sentry towers distributed in the wall. The archers on the sentry tower can attack any position inside and outside the camp. Twenty-two hours a day, there are people on guard on the arrow tower, which can both hold guards and defend.

Inwards, a layer of insect-proof belt isolates various poisonous insects, and a layer of fire-burning belt is filled with flammable magical products. Once the enemy breaks through the outer defense, the ignited fire-burning belt is the last line of defense. There are also a large number of low walls scattered in the fire-burning belt. When a battle breaks out, these low walls are the defensive positions of the mercenaries.

Inside the fortification, many simple houses were built in one corner, which was the residence of the excavator owner. On the other side, there was once a spacious open space, which is where the excavator site is now located.

When we arrived at our destination with Dak, we saw that it was such a regular camp like a temporary fortress. Needless to ask, only leaders of militarized mercenaries like Dak could set up such a camp with excellent defense.

It has been seven days since the excavation team arrived at the destination.

When I first arrived at my destination, it was just a barren wilderness. There was no grass growing on the ground of the yellow soil. The strong wind blew up the loess and dyed the entire vision yellow. Under the scorching sun, the wilderness had no life, as if it was a dead world.

No one would believe that there would be ancient ruins here, and even the excavators hired from Sand City did not believe that they lived in Sand City in their time, but they had never heard of any ancient ruins. It must have been the strange mages who made the mistake.

For the sake of reward, they still follow the instructions of professional scholars and dig on the yellow soil under the scorching sun. It is really profitable to earn five gold coins in a month. As for whether they can dig out things, they don’t care. Just wait and see these experts and adults jokes.

However, these workers who wanted to see jokes were destined to be disappointed. Since the third day, the stone body of the first suspected artificial building roof was dug out from under the soil layer, only four days later, the excavation site has become what it is now.

The original empty field has been dug into a deep pit of more than 20 meters. Standing by the pit, looking down, this ancient city called Fransel is like walking out of ancient history and showing it to the world again.

The city is similar to the gravel city. The buildings are also built of blue rocks. The southern end is the tallest and largest building in the entire city. It is thick, strong and has excellent defense. It is obviously an important facility. According to experts, this is the leader of the pioneering team, which is the mansion of the lord of the city.

Similar to most newly built pioneering cities, the City Lord's Mansion is not only the residence of the City Lord's Mansion, but most administrative departments have a City Lord's Mansion, which is equivalent to a collection of the City Lord's Mansion and the City Hall. Not only that, once severely endangered, citizens will enter the City Lord's Mansion to take refuge and rely on the solid buildings to make the final defense. This style is in line with the castles of the lords at the end of the budding era, and is indeed very effective for small settlements of that period.

The east and west sides are still covered with loess, and only two or three buildings have roofs poked out from the soil layer. I guess they are relatively low buildings on both sides. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be some houses and workshops.

On the north side of the city ruins is a building that is enough for all scholars to hold their breath. It is a simple magic tower. Because of the simplicity of the conditions, the magic tower is not too high and its shape is very simple, but the magic energy in the tower is still restless even after more than four thousand years.

As for the middle of the city, there is a huge square, and the heart of the city was once buried in the middle of the square. It was built into a square because it was closest to the heart of the city and encountered abnormal disasters of abiotics. For example, when a crack broke out, it was safer for citizens to gather in the square. However, now the city is abandoned and the heart of the city has lost its effectiveness. This is just an ordinary square.

"Brother, come and make a fossil into mud, control the scope of the point, and don't collapse the wall. You guys, take the opportunity to dig quickly, be careful when digging, and don't touch things you shouldn't touch."

"Feng, Feng, I want Feng, it's full of poisonous gas. Who are you mages? Give some wind here? Such a small entrance, wait until tomorrow when the poisonous gas dissipates itself."

"Wait, wait until I put a detection magic, I'm worried that there are magic traps here, so please be careful. Nonsense, I know it's been more than four thousand years. The problem is that the magic traps that have been set for more than four thousand years are sometimes more terrifying than the ones just set, because no one knows when it will explode."

The excavation site was busy, with more than fifty workers traveling between the gullies and being directed by more than twenty experts and adults, running around. They were so tired that they were out of breath. The experts were not relaxed. They not only moved their mouths, but everyone was very focused, fearing that they would accidentally destroy some important items, and they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

It can be said that the excavation site is the field of experts and workers. There is only a small mercenary group composed of ten people, led by their leader and a silver-level mercenary, patrolling the construction site. The task of these people is to be ready to deal with emergencies at any time, from the collapse of the building and the sinking of the ground, to the excavation of ancient monsters from the soil.

Well, the ancient monsters are not responsible for them, that is what the mercenaries on the ground have to be responsible for, such as Mia and the mercenaries she hired.

Outside the excavation site, more than forty ordinary mercenaries were left in three groups, one group standing guard on the sentry tower, always paying attention to the movements around the camp. Now it is not in a safe city, but here is a dangerous wilderness. Not to mention medium-sized monsters, even if you crawl into a few bugs, you may die. If you are not careful, half of the people in the camp will die long ago.

The second group has the strongest combat power. Their team is stationed in different locations in the camp and is ready to wait for an opportunity to move.

The last group went back and forth between the barracks and the construction site. The danger in the wilderness came not only from the ground, but also from the sky. The shadows imprinted on the ground were not necessarily ordinary birds. In the morning, the female swordsman who always hides behind the priests came over in time when he heard the movements and joined forces with the winged man who liked to fly around in the sky to kill these three monsters, and the mercenaries would hold a funeral ceremony tonight.

This is also the reason why high-level mercenaries receive the highest reward, but they are the most leisurely. They eat and sleep every day, and then stroll around the excavation ground, without causing dissatisfaction with others. In the past seven days, the camp has encountered several attacks by powerful monsters, openly or secretly, and even a raid from a group of more than 100 people in the wilderness thieves. They are all solved by these high-level mercenaries. Everyone has clearly divided their responsibilities and their trivial matters are responsible for ordinary mercenaries. At critical moments, the leader Mia is the most critical link, and all personnel dispatches are commanded by her.

However, now she is a little confused.

"Here, there is also here. The defense of these two points needs to be strengthened. Hiss, the manpower is a bit insufficient."

In the largest barracks, high-level mercenaries gather here because... it's cool here.

The two assistants of the team leader Mia were commanding the excavation outside, and she was mainly with the high-level mercenaries. Although the excavation team was led by her, she still had another identity after all, the leader of the guard team composed of high-level mercenaries, so she was now staying in the barracks and listening to the team members discussing the issue seriously.

A camp defense map spread out on the table, and high-level mercenaries sat around him in scattered manner. Dak stood next to the map and pointed at him.

There were circles on the defense map, the various lines were drawn very complicatedly, and colorful nails were inserted. The mercenaries were all over the head. Although Dake had carefully explained the meaning of various signs, it was a pity that everyone was still dizzy and could only listen to him in a daze that no one could get into the conversation.

"Pa", Shuer's finger pressed on the marking somewhere on the map, slowly moving to the position where Dark points out.

"No." Similar situations have happened many times in the past few days, so Dake didn't have to look up and know who it was. He shook his head and said, "The four people here cannot move. The scout I brought back yesterday, there was a nest of broken bone croakers outside. They stayed here to deal with the broken bone croakers."

Shuer frowned. This is a headache-inducing monster. It is best to be able to be in peace. I am afraid that they will cause trouble. I really have to leave a few people to stare at them.

"I need at least three more people." Dark said in a pondering voice, "the person who stares at the ring-tailed lizard cannot move, and the person who controls the fly nest cannot move."

"Call back the person in the direction of Fransel's rift." Shuer tapped his fingers on his thighs, "It's just three, enough."

"What should I do if the cave spiders are? Those who like to go out to hunt in groups at night, and the exterior walls of the camp cannot stop them. I don't want to wake up one night and see a few big spiders around me."

"Can spiders dig holes?" Shure asked back.

"Well, you're going to solve the problem at once." Dark said in a scrutiny, "completely blowing up the Fransel crack?"

"It is not difficult to just blow the entrance and exit of the fifty-seven-meter-long ground crack."

"What should I do if the induce collapse affects this?"

"Ask the expert." Shuer pointed to Mia who was listening in a daze. "If you dare to dig out ancient monuments, there must be experts in this field in the team."

Similar situations have occurred many times in the past few days. Although the etiquette of the first meeting of the two was very unique when they met for the first time, they were unexpectedly serious once they entered the work state. Not only were they. Although these high-level mercenaries were lazy on the surface, they were actually very serious. After all, everyone knows that their current tasks are related to the safety of more than 100 people in the excavation site. Any negligence may lead to casualties of the protected persons, and professional ethics forced them to become serious.

"It's true." Although I couldn't get into the topic of camp security, Mia still understood the last thing and stood up expressionlessly and walked out, "I'll call you, please ask him in person."
