Coming into the house with a chill on their bodies, the two girls first greeted Claire with strange cries, and then deliberately hugged her to pass on the chill on their bodies to her.

There was a sudden commotion. Claire didn't feel cold when she was hugged, but when Emily put her hands under her shirt, she jumped up because of the cold. The mother and daughter started to fight.

When they arrived at the dinner table, Hope helped to arrange the dishes and greeted everyone.

“Merry is eating in the cafeteria at the county bureau again today?

"

"Yes, she is now in charge of the county bureau. It seems that there is a batch of ripe crops to be harvested in the next few days, and she is responsible for keeping an eye on it."

"Well, Meili is now learning how to be a manager. Thanks to her seriousness, the community is so peaceful."

"Is there new food ready to be harvested?"

"Yes, thanks to those [Tree Spirits] and the water from the Moon Well, my mother told me that not only did it mature earlier, but the yield was also considerable. After all, we only have limited organic fertilizers now."

"This is a good thing. There's no need to stare at it, right?"

Hope shrugged: "We are a collective economy now, so we have to be careful."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat. Amy, how was your day at school?"

Lucas tried to smooth things over and changed the subject to Emily.

Everyone was chatting and eating, but they did not strictly follow the dining etiquette. However, halfway through the meal, an alarm suddenly sounded in the room.

"Beep——"

"Beep——"

"Beep——"

"Hey, what's calling the police again?"

Everyone at the dinner table focused their attention on Lucas. The last time the villa called the police, they were sucked into the "Misty Realm Space".

"Let me see"

Lucas put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out his cell phone and started checking.

The entire Crown Eagle Mountain is covered with a magic network with the "Dark Night Camp" as the node. All [Ancient Guardians] have uploaded and installed the [Magic Eye] ability. In theory, if he were a spellcaster, he could directly communicate with the [Ancient Guardian] and see the real-time picture.

Unfortunately, he is not one, so he has to use his mobile phone to connect to the computer in the study via WIFI, and then through this computer connected to the [Tree of Life], he can see the surveillance images after signal conversion.

After skipping over dozens of scenes seen by the [Ancient Guardians], Lucas came to the other side of Crown Eagle Mountain, which was roughly diagonal to the community. He was surprised to see the bows of more than a dozen wooden sailing warships sticking out from the fog, and the hooks and anchors connected with chains were shot onto the mountain by artillery fire, hooking onto rocks or other obstacles on the ground.

As the capstan at the other end of the chain began to turn, the iron chain was pulled straight, and amid the creaking sound of wood friction, more than a dozen sailing ships were pulled out of the fog. Accompanied by huge cheers, these sailing ships with unknown flags gradually docked on the mountain.

It stopped steadily at a height of only half a meter from the ground.

Following the thumping of the ship's planks hitting the ground, a passage was built, and a large number of armed humans who looked like miscellaneous brands and were holding various cold weapons and had no uniform clothing came to the ground.

Many of them were strong men, wielding hammers, driving thick iron stakes into the ground one after another, and fixing the floating sailboat to the ground with more ropes.

More men armed with cold weapons came to the ground.

Lucas glanced at the small map.

A large area is just reddish dots.

Red means that the other party is full of hostility, and faint red means that the other party's extraordinary level will not be very high, and most of them may even be at the level of ordinary people.

Lucas's mind was a little confused.

"Are these guys here to make fun of me?"

"It looks like their level of armament is not even as good as the pirates of the Age of Discovery..."

"Invading a modern town that has been completely industrialized and where almost every household has more than one Remington gun?"

"Especially since I have been keeping my weapons on and have been insisting on military training for the past six months?"

"But their sailboats... can sail in the fog... fly, and can locate and detect the specific conditions around them?"

0060

"pirate?"

Because the surveillance footage was not visible only to Lucas like the "Map Editor", Emily, who was sitting next to him, leaned over and saw the footage on the phone.

Seeing this, the others also stood up and came over to watch the phone screen out of curiosity.

Lucas handed over his phone and sat there thinking about it.

"Wow, they really are pirates!"

"My God, their sailboats can actually fly"

"This is ridiculous. Why can a sailboat fly?"

"It's ridiculous that we were sucked into the foggy space."

"Wow, they're not really pirates, are they? It's amazing that the sailboat can fly, but they want to rob us with that junk? I think the neighborhood defense team can kick their asses now."

"..."

Several women, both big and small, huddled together, chattering and watching.

"It seems that I am not the only one who thinks they are here to make fun of me..."

Lucas heard their comments, thought to himself, then pushed his chair back and stood up:

"Please be patient, I will go to the study room."

Having said that, as soon as the others left, Emily looked at the "phone" in her hand, stood up, squeezed past the others and followed.

Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi looked at each other and said almost in unison: "Let's go to the study to see if the Boss has any instructions."

They trotted away, one after the other.

Claire and Hope were left staring at each other. Hope said, "Why don't we go to the study too?"

Claire: "Of course, let's go together"

The two of them turned and walked towards the study. Hope suddenly remembered something, ran back, picked up the phone on the dining table, and jogged after them.

……

In the study, Luca

Si turned on the computer connected to the Tree of Life and was observing the group of invaders through the big screen.

Emily moved a chair over to sit next to him, leaning her upper body against him and watching.

First, two secretaries came in and stood behind them. Not long after, Claire and Hope also pushed the door open.

Emily looked up, waved to Hope, took Lucas' "cell phone" and placed it on the computer desk. Claire and Hope also joined the crowd watching.

Computer screens are much larger than mobile phone screens and can show more details of the scene, such as the poor personal hygiene of the "pirates", their curly and greasy hair, shiny black skin, yellow teeth, and most of them have rotten teeth... Just these pictures are enough to make several women, both young and old, frown and raise their noses involuntarily.

Lucas turned up the volume of the speakers and remotely controlled several [Ancient Guardians] near the pirate landing point to collect the voices on the scene and play clearer conversation sounds from the speakers.

"¥%……&*"

"%...&*()"

"※%……&*★"

"..."

Lucas didn't understand a word. He tilted his head slightly and asked Emily:

"Can you tell what language they're speaking? Latin? German?"

He can only speak Chinese, English and a few of the languages ​​of Area 11. Other than that, although he can't speak or understand them, he can roughly distinguish Spanish, Portuguese and Russian.

Emily is a top student. Although she is not German or Jewish, she taught herself Latin out of interest. She can communicate with Germans in German, speak some Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic, and it seems that she also knows a little Hebrew.

"Neither, it seems to be English..." Emily listened carefully for a while and said uncertainly.

"English?"

"Well, it's just medieval English. The pronunciation and grammar are very different from modern English. It does sound like another language."

"Uh... so they're British? Like that ancient kingdom that was reported, descendants of exiles from Victorian England?"

"To be exact, it was during the reign of Charles II. The English of the Victorian era is not much different from modern English."

"Uh, sorry, I only know one Queen Victoria"

In the picture, the dozen or so sailing warships floating in the air not only sent armed personnel to the ground, but also released some horses.

Because all the mountain surfaces were frequently cleaned and tidied by the elves, there was not much snow in the dry grass, and most of the grass had been eaten up by deer, leaving only grass roots that were difficult to remove on the ground.

Those horses and riders were like reconnaissance cavalry. They shouted and dispersed into the forest along the passable area, and soon came into conflict with the surrounding [Tree Spirits].

Lucas put his fingers together and stretched them outward a few times, then picked up a walkie-talkie from the charging base next to the computer desk and handed it to Hope.

"Contact Meili and let her see the alarm terminal. I'll send her the footage."

"okay"

Lucas picked up the mouse, first zoomed out the screen, and with a rough swipe, framed all the [elves] and [tree spirits], spanning the entire Crown Eagle Mountain and pulling back to the community.

In an instant, all the [elves] and [tree spirits] in the mountainous area, as if they had received an order, left the tasks they were currently performing and began to move backwards.

He then zoomed in on the screen, selected a dozen or so [Tree Spirits] near the landing point, and began to operate them delicately.

In the picture, the pirates' reconnaissance cavalry had already clashed with the [Tree Monster]. As soon as they saw the creature called the [Tree Monster], they immediately shouted something, drew their swords, drove their horses and charged towards the [Tree Monster].

There was absolutely no surprise at seeing the magical creature, nor any hesitation, as he looked like he wanted to kill the [Tree Monster].

These pirates all came with hostility, otherwise they would not be shown as "red dots" on the small map. Originally, including the [Ancient Guardian], they were all prepared for automatic defense.

However, Lucas quickly used the shortcut key to select all the [Ancient Guardians] in the mountainous area, terminating their automatic defense actions, and all of them entered a motionless state of doing nothing.

Lucas framed the dozen or so [Tree Spirits] that came into contact with the pirate reconnaissance cavalry with the mouse, pressed the Enter key, switched the input method, and typed in words like [entangle], [run if hurt], [don't kill], etc. These [Tree Spirits] basically understood his intentions.

These [Tree Spirits] are independent magical creatures with a certain degree of intelligence. Anyway, Lucas's operations can make them understand his instructions and intentions through the magic management system.

He didn't know the specific principles, but it was a very magical conversion and management method.

[Tree Spirit] began to tangle with the pirate scout cavalry in the woods, occasionally using natural magic from his hands to create a poisoned wooden spear and throwing it out. His purpose was not to fight back and kill these pirates, but mainly to cause scratches to them and their mounts, so that they would be poisoned.

Once they are injured or poisoned, the [Tree Demon] will immediately jump away and keep a distance.

Farther away, Lucas made some operations and asked the [Tree Spirit] with the [Grazing] skill to drive and gather the deer to move together.

Also by the way

The few [Ancient Trees of Knowledge] distributed in the mountainous areas were also set to a motionless state without counterattack, and they were disguised as trees as much as possible... They were originally trees.

In order to prevent these pirates from escaping with his modified super model [Ancient Guardian] and the ordinary version of [Ancient Tree of Knowledge].

……

At this time, Hope next to him had already used the intercom to briefly introduce the situation to Merry from the county bureau. After Lucas gestured, the intercom was taken by Emily, who held it to his mouth with her hand.

"Hello? Merry, I'm sending you the video now. Take a look at the scene first. These intruders won't be able to get here for a while."

"Ok"

Lucas switched the screen of his computer and ran the "IPconfig" command in the start option. He found the default network address of the server that was used when he installed the "photovoltaic panels" for the county bureau. After remotely obtaining the administrator privileges of the county bureau's dedicated LAN, he directly woke up all the iPads, which they called "alarm terminals," and took over the screen.

"Are there any pictures?" Lucas asked.

"Yes"

Meili's voice came from the intercom. It was dinner time now. Besides her, there were some other people on duty at the county bureau. They could be heard speaking "F language" and "H language".

Meri has always been very direct. She transformed into Mazefake and did not hide her foul language at all.

After a while, everyone in the study heard a faint bell ringing from outside the villa - it was the bell from the church, which has now become the alarm bell in the community. It is actually very loud outside and can be heard throughout the community, including Green Valley Street, where it can be clearly heard.

However, the sound insulation of Lucas Villa is very good, and the sound is very faint when listening casually in the study.

Merry's voice came from the intercom:

"Lucas, let me gather the joint defense team first, how do you want to fight?"

"Let's move the team to Green Valley Street and set up a defense line. When these invaders come to us, I think their spaceships are very useful. Besides, these guys who look like pirates are also good laborers. So, don't let them go. We will wait for them in Green Valley Street and try to capture all of their people and spaceships in one go."
