The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1368: Mountain City Rebellion

Hoffman Panshi is the martial arts chief of the Panshi family and the defense captain of the Ancestral Mountain City, responsible for the safety of the entire mountain city.

In terms of the number of people, the Rock Family can be said to have the smallest number of all lumberjack families. Counting Hoffman, the entire Rock Family has only eight members.

This is mainly because the fertility rate of the Panshi family is very low for both men and women. It is already blessed by the gods to be able to give birth to one offspring. If two children are born, it is definitely a great happy event for the whole family, and it is also because The fertility rate is so low that the number of the Panshi family will decrease every generation. Some people estimate that if the reputation of the Panshi family does not improve, after two or three generations, the Panshi family may not exist.

However, even so, no lumberjack family would underestimate the Rock family, because even if the number of this family is not large, the strength of this family is one of the best in the lumberjack family, whether it is an individual or as a whole. This is all because of the natural ability of the Panshi family, which gives them great power, but at the same time it is also likely to be the reason why their family is not prosperous.

Like the name of the Rock Family, the talents of the Rock Family are as strong and powerful as the Rock. As long as they are within the range of Mount Trub, the people of the Rock Family have endless power and are as strong as the rock of Trub Mountain. body of.

It is also because of this innate superiority that the Panshi family is very martial, almost every member of the Panshi family has the strength of a senior knight, and the family members cooperate with each other, even if they face an army of a thousand people, they It also has the ability to destroy it in a frontal attack.

Therefore, the most powerful person in the Panshi family in the past will be appointed as the family martial arts chief. His position is higher than that of the family chief. At the same time, the martial arts chief of the Panshi family will also serve as the defense captain of the ancestral mountain city at the same time, responsible for the entire mountain city. Defense, especially when there is abnormal movement in the Trub Mountain, the people of the Panshi family can usually play a role in turning the tide, because their family abilities are closely linked to the Trub Mountain, so they are also used by other loggers. He is called the Son of Trub Mountain.

Trub Mountain rarely sees unusual movements. The Ancestral Mountain City is at the foot of the Trub Mountain and is sheltered by a mysterious force, so it is much safer than the rest of the Lub Mountain.

The lumberjack family’s annual custom of entering the mountain is more like taking a vacation than an old tradition. The Panshi family stays in the ancestral mountain city all the year round and is responsible for the safety of the family entering the mountain. Although the Panshi family also has an industry outside, But most of them are handed over to other families.

This time, the Otter Federation suddenly took action against the lumberjack family, which prevented the lumberjack family’s industry from having time to transfer. All the lumberjack families suffered heavy losses. Only the Panshi family suffered very lightly, but for the Panshi family, the current situation is not very good. Well, because the food reserves in the mountain city is not enough for so many families to consume, and most of the capable families live in the walled city built by themselves. Only those families who are unable to hunt independently will settle in the mountain city. This way, the mountain city All food supplies depend on the Rock Family.

For this reason, the Panshi family has been leading the lumberjack family members who are capable of hunting in the mountain city to leave the mountain city for hunting in the nearby forest.

At the beginning, things went smoothly. Every time the hunting team came back, they were able to bring a lot of prey. The material warehouses in the mountain city were gradually full, and the food difficulties were made up a little bit.

However, something unexpected happened suddenly a few days ago. A thick fog that Hoffman Rock had never seen before suddenly appeared outside the mountain city, enveloping the forest outside the mountain city along with other places. It even penetrated into the mountain city, covering almost general areas before it stopped spreading.

This is not the most headache. The most headache is that all the people who have not had time to escape when the thick fog spreads have not escaped from the thick fog these days. Even a rescue team that entered afterwards also fell into it and let them What I am afraid of is that the thick fog seems to have some crazy power. Some lumberjack families will fall into a state of madness after watching the thick fog for too long, rushing away like a mad, everyone tries to rush into it. In the thick fog.

Fortunately, this incident was discovered in time. Except for the first few people who went crazy in the first place, there was no time to stop them, and they rushed into the thick fog. The other people who went crazy were discovered in time, **** with a rope, and locked into the city. In the dungeon.

In order to avoid reappearance of mad people, the surviving members of the lumberjack family in the entire mountain city were all locked in their houses, the doors and windows were nailed to death, and everyone stayed in the house, only a few did not receive the concentration. The people affected by the fog are still in the mountain city and are responsible for delivering food and water to those who are kept at home.

Because of the lack of manpower, Hoffman had to release the people in the mountain city cell and select those who would not be affected by the dense fog to supplement the lack of manpower.

Among these prisoners, the highest and most famous is the patriarch of the Lufu family, Bain Ruf. The patriarch of a lumberjack family will be locked up, and the reason is that he betrayed the Lufu family and the entire lumberjack family. This really surprised Hoffman, but this matter has nothing to do with the Panshi family, and he didn't intend to pay attention to it. He just waited for the matter to pass. He checked whether the Panshi family members who hunted before were still alive. If they were all dead, he had no interest in staying here anymore, so he didn't want to bother about the Lumberjack family anymore.

The follow-up development of the matter was not as bad as imagined. After a few days after the first particularly difficult period, the situation has stabilized, and the fog has gradually diminished since yesterday.

Although the thick fog has not completely receded, the crazy power in the thick fog has weakened a lot. More and more members of the lumberjack family are no longer affected by the power of the thick fog, and those who have fallen into the thick fog before Some members of the tribe seemed to have recovered their sobriety, and walked out of the thick fog by themselves.

Hoffman, who had been working continuously for many days, also relaxed a little. After his routine inspection work, he came to the thick fog and considered the time to leave the mountain city.

Although he was slow to politics, he could also feel the atmosphere in the mountain city. It did not weaken as the dense fog faded. Instead, it became more tense because Bain Ruf, who was released to assist him before, Yesterday, some people suddenly rushed into the dungeon, released the rest, gathered these people and their companions, formed a force not centered on the family, and started logging in the city. The workers' families fight in a chamber.

If there were a few other lumberjack families who were good at fighting in the mountain city, things wouldn't have gone so far.

Those families would arrest Bain Ruf before Bain Ruf did such a thing, and even after Bain Ruf had gathered some of his men, they could still suppress him and use various Method to disintegrate the people around him.

But the problem is that people with a little bit of combat power are all in their own walled city outside the mountain city at the moment. Whether they will survive this sudden change in Trub Mountain is still unknown, let alone send someone over to deal with Bain. · Rufu out.

It is precisely because the woodcutter family in the mountain city feels helpless with the people of Bain Ruf that makes Hoffman’s attitude of the strongest combat force in this mountain city particularly important, so people often come to him to chat over the past two days, hoping to get His public support.

However, Hoffman did not intend to intervene in this matter from the beginning. In his opinion, first of all, this matter itself was not compliant. It won’t be dealt with by other families. Secondly, this incident looks like a farce, because the person who arrested Bain Ruf was a member of another lumberjack family. After the other party arrested him, he said a crime. In the dungeon where Baine Ruf was locked up, no one from Rufu's family appeared from beginning to end. This kind of thing made people feel strange.

Compared with the current situation of infighting among the lumberjack families in the mountain city, Hoffman is more concerned about the safety of his people. Some relatives are gone.

Just as Hoffman was thinking about the chance of getting out, a member of the lumberjack family hurriedly ran towards him.

Seeing this person, Hoffman couldn't help but sighed. He knew this person. The other party was a member of the Farris family, the largest number in the mountain city. He was also the house officer in this mountain city, responsible for all kinds of messy things in the mountain city. During this period of time, this person often came over and persuaded him to deal with Bain Ruf.

As a result, it was naturally impossible to get Hoffman’s affirmative reply. He saw that his goal was not achieved, so these days he was spinning around Hoffman like a group of flies. The impulse to choke this man to death immediately.

So seeing this person running towards him, Hoffman never showed a good face. Before the other person came and hadn't got a foothold, he asked first: "What happened? So hastily. Ran over."

"Something has happened, something has happened!" The man took a few breaths and nodded immediately.

Hoffman was completely stunned. The question he asked just now was just casual, and he never thought that a question would become an affirmative answer.

The man didn't pay attention to Hoffman's expression, and continued: "Bain killed Old Bjorn."

"What?" Hoffman's face followed, followed by a strong expression of anger, confirming again: "What you said is true?"

The man quickly said: "Of course it's true. Just over the square, Old Bjorn's body is still there, and his body is full of traces of beasts biting. The only people in the entire mountain city who have beasts and can control beasts are shells. Well this guy."

After hearing these words, Hoffman reacted unexpectedly, and the angry expression on his face gradually turned into solemn and contemplative.

The old Bjorn of the two populations is the elder of the Leiden family in the city. The Leiden family is not a family known for fighting. Their family’s talents are related to plants. Some control plants, some promote plant growth, but more It is the mind that listens to plants, so their family are the best scouts and spies, because their family can often hear many confidential things through this ability to listen to plants.

Old Bjorn’s abilities are different from those of the rest of his family. He is able to discern the effects of plants on the human body.

Because of his ability, when he was young, he went to the National Academy of Otter Federation to study herbal medicine and became a herbalist. With the help of his ability, he became a herbalist in a short time. .

In the past many years, most members of the lumberjack family have been treated by him, and the herbalists in each family are his students. The prestige of Old Bjorn is one of the best in the entire lumberjack family.

Now that Old Bjorn has been killed and died tragically, the entire family of lumberjacks in the mountain city will be angry, even those imprisoned members who made mistakes will be the same, and the person who caused the tragic death of Old Bjorn will inevitably be Become the enemy of the entire lumberjack family.

It is for this reason that Hoffman immediately broke away from his anger when he heard that Old Bjorn was killed by Bain Ruf’s companion beast, because he felt that it was more like a target Conspiracy framed by Bain Ruf.

Although he spent only a few days with Bain Ruf, he could also feel that this seemingly rude clan leader actually had deep thoughts. This man would never kill Lao Bi. Jon’s, because there is no benefit to him, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com only hurts, and even if you do it, you will never use the companion beast to kill Old Bjorn, because it will definitely leave behind. For obvious traces, it was easier and more secretive for him to directly do it himself.

Therefore, after hearing this, Hoffman immediately felt that something was wrong and did not immediately make a decision.

After thinking about it for a while, Hoffman told the people of Faris's family: "Immediately ring the alarm bell of the bell tower to summon the remaining members of the defense team in the city to the square."

After speaking, he didn't give any further explanations, and ran towards the square. He ran as fast as he could, for fear that he would run slower. After arriving in the square, something irreparable had happened.

However, when he was about to reach the square, he heard all kinds of noises and shouts from the square, followed by a roar of beasts, and a large number of people gathered in the square began to run around in panic, as if Something terrible happened on the square.

Hoffman secretly said that it was bad in his heart. He immediately speeded up his pace and rushed to the square against the flow of people. Seeing what was happening on the square, he did not hesitate to drew the knight's sword from his waist and stabbed it towards the target. .
