Chapter 9: Assemble

In the central square of Chiba City, thousands of Honored Guards with special sandalwood bows and arrows on their backs stood neatly on the ground, wearing a cooked steel helmet, gray-brown iron elm leaf armor, a dark red sash under the bronze heart guards on the front and back, a dark green shirt on it, and the combat boots sewn from fur were embroidered with auspicious patterns with gold thread. The young warriors were all selected from the four major tribes, and Eric had urged the great portal to gather them here, and the expressions on their faces were serious and majestic.

Beneath the huge statue of Fallujah, Eric had a solemn expression as ten elders of various tribes stood behind him. "Our enemies are coming, we are all afraid, but we still have to meet them, some of us will die because of this, but they ......" Eric pointed to the crowd in the distance, old men, weak women, and children who had just learned to walk. "You'll all be alive! When your will is no longer resolute, you all have to think about the family behind us. ”

The young fighters were boiling over, "Defend the homeland! Never retreat!" The cry was sonorous and strong-willed.

Eric looked around at the young warriors and continued, "This time, we are going to step out of our homes for the first time and go to a strange place, because the flames of war cannot burn in our homes. We will face a very brutal enemy who will cut off our heads, and even your elderly parents, your young children, will not hesitate to find you and kill you wherever you are hiding, and there will be no mercy in their eyes. Therefore I will lead you and shoot the arrows of your wrath into their hearts!"

On the high turquoise hills, the wild chrysanthemum is in full bloom, revealing its fragrance to the fullest, and the golden petals are dotted among the lush green, spreading all the way to the horizon. Andrew sat on the ground, resting his head on his knees, looking at the chrysanthemums all over the ground with a lot of thoughts, and Jiya sat quietly in the distance, quiet like a kitten waiting for its prey.

Eric tucked his hand around his waist, his delicate armor glowing in the sunlight, and his bright red splendor hung on the ground. "If a person really wants to find you, then he can always find a way, and the whole world can't stop him. I've sent out the best scouts, the intelligence is changing every day, and more swordsmen are coming. We have to get the people of Chiba Castle to safety before they attack, Andrew!Our space is being compressed, and I think we need to change that. ”

"Eric, I think we can talk, with those swordsmen! I have a bad feeling, I've seen the runes on the Excalibur, and the runes are for us, as if there's a big invisible hand manipulating it all. As a dwarf, I can't have spiritual power, such a thing has never happened in our history, then I must be someone with a special mission, so, Patriarch Eric, you have to send me out, I have to figure everything out. ”

Eric was in a hurry, crouching down and shaking Andrew's head. "Are you crazy? Those swordsmen are not in the habit of negotiating with people, and all they want is our heads. ”

Andrew took out the scimitar with diamonds and multicolored gems from his bosom and handed it to Eric. "The dwarven king Fallujah also died in the cave, and the seventy-nine swordsmen outside the cave were far from killing him, and something terrible must have happened to him. His weapon, Devil Cry, had been screaming in my arms, as if to tell me something, and I thought that since those runes wouldn't hurt me, I could go over and sit down with them and have a good talk, and if the war was going to go on, we had to know who was in control of it. ”

The wavy air flow on the body of the Devil's Cry knife was wantonly, like a thin layer of frost, and its cold could be felt from afar, Eric returned the Devil's Cry to Andrew, and said word by word, "Now it has chosen a new owner." ”

After being silent for a while, Andrew looked at Eric and pointed to Jiya in the distance, and said quietly: "You send her to Tuobi City, tell my grandma, raise her, find a good family to marry, and don't let her suffer anymore." ”

Eric was about to say something, but Andrew reached out to stop him. "Eric, this is the meaning of my existence, no one can change it!"

"I'll keep our warriors hidden in the area of Beth Mountain, where there is a rugged mountain road that leads to Riverrun, and if you still insist on your crazy idea, it's best to sneak away while I'm not looking, I don't have the habit of sending my friends to a dead end, and I won't ever have. As for the rest, you can settle it before you come to me. He was referring to Giya, of course.

Andrew said all the good things, and Gia just shook his head. Eric opened the portal and said, "Our army will be ready tomorrow morning, and I'll take you somewhere." With that, he walked in.

Outside the city, Ryan waited anxiously for them, and when he saw Eric, he ran over excitedly, wrapped in a white gauze robe, and his long skirt jumped happily among the flowers.

The four of them sat in the shade of a tree and did not speak for a long time, Ryan broke the silence and looked at Andrew with a look of surprise. "Are you stupid? You can't change anything but lose your life. I've heard a lot of things in the past few days, a lot of bad things in the past, in fact, we women can also fight, with you. But Andrew, how stupid you are to die for nothing. ”

Andrew didn't dare to look her in the eye. "Can killing people solve the problem? The Dwarven King Fallujah has killed so many swordsmen, and more swordsmen have popped up. They slaughtered many of our people, we had no choice but to hide, but they still spared no effort to pursue us, we have been hidden for nearly a hundred years, people outside have become accustomed to the world without us, but we are originally people who live in that world. One day, we will return to our homeland, and then we will be invaders, and we will be enemies of the world, do you want to do this? There must be something terrible hidden behind those swordsmen, I have read all the history books, I know more than you, I am afraid that the purpose of my existence is for this matter, if I die, it will also be a declaration to the people outside, the dwarves are going home. ”

"You...... You ......" Ryan pointed angrily at him, but was powerless to refute. "Then Eric and I will accompany you. ”

Ji Ya pointed to herself, meaning very resolutely, she must go.

Andrew looked at the two beautiful girls beside him, Ryan has an elegant and noble beauty, the beauty makes people dare not look at it directly, and the mute girl Jiya has a pure and deep weak beauty, refreshing. "You all have a stake in the future of our people, this is my mission alone," he stood up, and Jiya obediently followed, grabbing the corner of his clothes. Andrew smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's hers too! I don't dare to see Grandma, I don't want to see him cry." The breeze ruffled his jet-black hair, whipping his cheek mercilessly, and a crystal tear gently crossed his face. Being strong is not to shed a single tear in the face of sadness, but to wipe away your tears and face your future life with a smile.
