Volume II: Academy Chapter 0189: Orcs are coming
The mercenary's face was sluggish at this time, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled faintly, not expecting that his joke would come true.
The merchant angrily slammed his glass on the table and cursed angrily, "You're a damn crow's mouth. ”
After saying that, he quickly got up and ran up to the second floor, it seemed that he was packing up his things and preparing to run.
After the chaos, the private troops of the Earl's Court began to move, shouting to maintain order: "Do not disturb, all non-combatants, please stay at home quietly, we will protect your people and property." ”
These guards shouted so loudly that their voices were about to smoke, but there was no effect, everyone should still pack up their things, and run away.
About three minutes later, there was a very dull rumbling sound from outside the town, as if thousands of troops were rushing towards it.
Know that wolves run without a sound unless there are a lot of them.
Then the orders of these guards changed: "All the old and weak women and children gather at the east gate, someone will organize everyone to evacuate in the direction of Golden Silk Willow City, and the fighters are invited to the west gate to prepare to meet the enemy." ”
Alice immediately made a decision and said in an unquestionable tone: "Renard, you four go and gather the students, everyone evacuate quickly." ”
Reynard and the others did not hesitate at all, and directly got up and walked out of the hotel.
There were panicked figures everywhere on the street, and the old people and children kept crying, but they were still rudely driven by the guards in the direction of the east gate: "Hurry up, hurry up, the wolf cavalry is coming, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." ”
Young adults were given simple armor and weapons, apparently to do their part to protect their homeland, but it is unknown whether they volunteered or not.
The sound of miserable cries and shouts was endless, everyone was afraid, all trembling under the prestige of the wolf cavalry, and even the mercenaries and adventurers who were dragged on weekdays were also panicking and preparing to run away.
However, even in the darkest ages, there will be flashes: "Dad, you have to hurry up and drive the hateful orcs away." ”
A certain little girl was reluctant to say goodbye to her father, a very sturdy man, wearing knight's armor and a long riding spear already in his hand.
What did not match his outfit was that his eyes were full of love and pity for his daughter, and he doted on her head and whispered, "Don't worry, my dear, I will beat the orcs away as soon as possible." ”
He leaned down and kissed his daughter's forehead, then looked at his wife, speechless.
The knight resolutely stepped on his horse and ran in the direction of Xicheng without looking back, and many cavalry like him gradually converged into a torrent along the way.
When the four of Renard gathered the cadets to evacuate, the two knights suddenly blocked their way, and they said in a commanding tone: "Sorry, all combatants are forbidden to evacuate, you must stay and protect the weak." ”
"What?" Alice frowned suddenly, she looked at the two knights, and said, "These students are just children. ”
The two knights were silent, and then one of them spoke: "All over the age of fourteen stay, and those under the age of fourteen can leave." ”
Two cold glints flashed in Alice's eyes, and she asked sharply, "Whose order is this?"
The knight was silent, and after a long time, he spoke again: "That's right, it was the order given by the Earl, and now he is at the forefront, if there is any dissatisfaction, go to the Earl." ”
Perhaps feeling that his companion's attitude was too tough, the knight next to him reluctantly added: "In fact, if no one stays here, I'm afraid you won't be able to run far." ”
Renard noticed the heaviness in the other party's tone, and couldn't help asking, "How many wolf cavalry are coming?"
The knight was silent for a long time, and then spat out four words: "About twenty thousand." ”
"Shhh
The innkeeper was still holding a long sword, and stood in front of the door with an angry expression, showing that he was going to fight desperately with the orcs, but after hearing this number, he immediately put the long sword on the ground and trotted back to the store.
Alice was equally silent, and after a constant struggle in her heart, she looked up at the knight and said, "These children are all the future elites of the Academy of Constantinople, the hope for the future of the entire empire, and they must go." ”
Without waiting for the knight to object, she added, "All of our mentors stay here. ”
The knight compromised, in fact, he felt that these children would not make much use of staying here, and if they died in vain, it would indeed be a great loss for the Empire.
Alice looked apologetically at the other fifteen mentors, as she had made the decision without consulting anyone.
The other tutors said with a smile: "We are the tutors of the academy, and we are also the subjects of the empire, we must stay in both public and private affairs, otherwise even if we go back alive, what face will we have to stay in the academy, or even stay in the empire." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be in awe when they heard this, Renard was infected by the atmosphere around him, goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body, he pondered for a moment, and made a decision: "I'll stay and let Ford and them protect the students to evacuate." ”
"No!" Alice's face was serious, and her tone revealed an irreversible flavor: "You must leave." ”
Renard shook his head with a flat expression: "Escaping is not my nature. ”
Alice was about to open her mouth to scold, but she heard a rapid bell from the bell tower in the distance, which was a signal of extreme danger.
The knight's voice said anxiously, "You must make a decision as soon as possible. ”
Alice was angry, so she had to nod her head and agree: "Okay, you can stay, but you have to follow the command." ”
Renard shrugged in agreement, and then stood behind her, like a normal guard.
Alice stopped talking nonsense and turned her head to look at the three Fords: "You guys take the trainees and get out of here quickly." ”
"I ......" Ford just wanted to say a few bold words, but was forced back.
Alice roared angrily, "Get out, don't you think it's messy enough?"
Christopher didn't say anything, and directly began to count the number of people, and after making sure that no students were left behind, he shouted loudly: "Everyone follow me, don't get separated." ”
After speaking, he looked at Renard deeply: "I know that you can always work miracles, and I am waiting for you in Golden Willow City." ”
Renard smiled and gestured with an OK gesture, looking extremely relaxed.
However, the second system in the body has entered the overload calculation: "According to the available data, if you don't leave now, the chance of survival is only 27%. ”
"Twenty-seven percent?" Reynard's eyes widened in surprise and he spat out three words that left the system speechless: "So high?"
That's right, Lei Ye almost stayed with the heart of death.
