……

Ral had nightmares.

It was the dark night 5 years ago, the time when the goddess of the night was shrouded, and all directions were under the dark night, showing that it was so dark and terrifying.

Ral's mother carried her young sister in one hand and Ral's hand in the other, and in front of her was his father's tall figure with a long sword in his hand, and a group of demon dogs surrounded their family of four.

The night was deep, and under the dark night, the bloodthirsty malice of the monster seemed to cover the surroundings with a layer of blood red.

"Mom, I'm hungry, I'm afraid ......" my sister's weak voice sounded, my mother looked sad, but she carefully comforted her sister.

"Leah, it's almost time to get to Rennes, and I'll have something to eat soon, so it's safe. ”

Father Will is really silent, and the fighting spirit on his body is extremely weak, but he is still firmly protecting the family.

The luck of this family of four is not good or bad, when the demon dog surrounded their family, they also found a cave at the same time, Will let the three of them enter the cave, and the father Will guarded the entrance of the cave, facing the impact of the demon dog all night.

His sister Leah fell asleep soon after, but Ral and his mother Sophie did not sleep all night, and he and his mother watched Will fight off the onslaught of the demon dog again and again during the night, and their fighting spirit became weaker and weaker.

Ral admits that he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, and it wasn't until the next day when the sun rose and the light of the Goddess of Light shone on the whole world that the dogs finally retreated, but their father, Will, had run out of oil and was guarding the entrance to the cave with his sword, half-kneeling, but never getting up.

The militia patrol in Rennes found this lucky and unlucky family, and since then there have been three more people in Rennes Town, brother Ral, sister Leah, mother Sophie, and father Will is buried forever in front of this cave, and every year Lal will bring his sister to worship his father.

Lal hated, he hated monsters, his father died under the impact of the demon dogs all night, until after dawn, he found that his father had only one hand, half a leg, and only half of his abdomen left, and he didn't know how his father held on to the end.

But he knew that if his father could abandon him and his mother and sisters, with the strength of his profession, he would be able to walk to Rennes Town safely.

Ral cried, it seemed that he had cried dry the tears of his life, and he had cried all his courage, he would become timid as a mouse in the days to come, he was afraid, he was afraid of those monsters outside Rennes Town, he was even more afraid of what his mother and sister would do after he died, he did not dare to join the militia group.

Until recently, her mother Sophie fell ill and most of the family's income was gone, and Lal couldn't find any decent, decent, or well-paid jobs in the town because of his timidity.

It seemed that the sky had fallen overnight, the 8-year-old sister was very well-behaved, but she always quietly hid in the corner of the house to wipe her tears, that day, she found that the last bit of bread at home had eaten up, after 5 years, 17-year-old Lal gritted her teeth and joined the militia regiment and became a recruit.

The whole town of Rennes knows that the militia is the most dangerous job in the town, but it is also the most well-paid and demanding job, including food, drink, weapons, and a fixed and generous monthly distribution of food, clothing, meat, salt, necessities, and so on.

After all, this is work at the cost of life.

Rahr used to hate being a soldier, even a militiaman.

Because his father offended the noble lord of the Al Ain level, he was driven away by the knights of the noble lord with the militia group, and it was still in the dark night.

His father was a mercenary, a powerful professional mercenary, but he escorted the family to the nearest town of Rennes, and he is still dead.

Later, when Lal grew up and gradually understood the reason, coupled with the compulsion of life, he joined the militia two months ago, and after two months of training, he followed the militia for the first time yesterday to enter the demon hunting day activities.

But he was also frightened, if Wang Xiu hadn't helped him in the middle, he might have died at the hands of these low-level monsters, and the best result would be that after he returned to Rennes Town, he would have been driven out of the militia by Knight Barth.

Such a weak performance will only drag the militia regiment back.

Fortunately, Wang Xiu's help made him okay in this performance, but on the way to the final retreat, he still encountered a lone demon dog, which was targeted by it, and Lal also climbed the tree, and when he was already desperate and felt that he must be dead, Uncle Witt appeared to save him and brought him out of the Shadow Forest.

"No, don't! No......" Ral dreamed in horror in his dream that he had fallen from a tree, and the demon dog pounced on him, just like the terrifying appearance of the demon dog pounced on his father five years ago.

"Brother, brother......"

Ral was awakened by the start, and found a pair of small hands gently patting his face.

He grabbed the little hands, sat up, and looked at his sister Leah's thin face profusely in sweat.

"Sister, sister...... It's you. ”

"Brother, you're having a nightmare, it's okay, come, take a sip of broth. ”

With a smile on her face, Liya handed over a bowl of broth from the table behind her, holding a bowl of still hot broth.

Ral took the broth and gulped it down.

"Brother is so powerful, I killed five monsters on Demon Hunting Day yesterday, and Uncle Witt sent a pound of meat and two pounds of bread, saying that this is part of your loot. ”

"Five, five? yes, yes...... "Only Ral himself knows that three of these five monsters were given to him by Ace after he was in a near-death state.

"By the way, brother, Brother Ace said that the militia group will hold a meeting in the afternoon, so you will wake up and go. ”

"Meeting?ah, yes, the loot will be distributed every demon hunt day, sister, what time is it now?"

"It's noon, brother, go quickly. ”

Ral hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on his worn leather armor, picked up his heavy sword, and hurried to the training ground of the town's militia.

He left the house and trotted along the streets of the town, the long sword in his hand was quite heavy, but thinking of the loot in his hand, he had a lot more strength out of thin air, and now he felt a lot lighter with the sword on his back.

By the time Ral arrived, all the militia members of the militia had basically arrived, and Ral entered it and stood in line, and there was a row of chairs on the training ground platform, on which the chief of the knight of Barth, the deputy head of the vignette, and the captain of the archers, Lord Diana, were all sitting.

Another half hourglass time passed.

Melos, the mayor of Rennes, and Lord Nebert, the tax collector sent by Baron Taronius, also arrived.

Rennes is Baron's fief, but it's not the only fief, he has a better fief in Tarot Town, which is not far from the Al Ain level, which is closer to Al Ain City, much more prosperous and safer than Rennes, and is also Baron Taronius's main fief and permanent residence, where the family castle is built.
