Chapter 1: Rescue (1)

Just as the mourner threatened Viren word by word, Qi Tianci, who was far away in the Vault Dweller's Hill and fighting with the exile coalition army, suddenly sneezed, and the surrounding exile soldiers wanted to take advantage of this gap to sneak attack him, but Qi Tianci kicked him far away. The hapless exile soldier, who had lost his life in mid-air, broke three trees that could barely be held by a man, and then set himself in the trunk of a fourth tree.

It seemed like an ordinary attack, but it caused so much damage that the exile soldiers around them were almost stupid. Anne's men, the Guards, and the knights took advantage of this power to launch a counterattack against the Exile Alliance, and for a time they achieved good results. It even led the nearby warriors to boost their morale, and even the relatively weak Anne's men summoned up the courage to regain the information, causing the exile coalition to suffer heavy losses for a while.

The initiator of this counterattack touched his nose a little dazedly, and said to himself: "Who is scolding me?" But he didn't doubt for long, the situation on the battlefield made him not waste too much time on this.

Hill still didn't appear, and Qi Tianci couldn't help but be a little worried. Although he knew that there were very few existences that could hurt Ciel here, they were not non-existent. Maybe the leaders or strong men of those forces haven't really used their own skills yet, and more importantly, will other attackers suddenly appear and deal a fatal blow to Qi Tianci's men. But what worries him the most is not here, but the camp that doesn't have many troops stationed in the first place. And now that Ciel is also here, then only McGregory and his apprentice Lei Xi can protect the camp, so Qi Tianci must solve the trouble here as soon as possible, and then join up with the wolf cavalry. It's just that, judging from the current situation, it seems that it will take a lot of time.

What Qi Tianci didn't know was that the current situation was much worse than he thought. As the war continued, the Knights of the Faith had been almost crippled. There were originally only a few of them, but now there were only twenty or thirty of them left, scattered around the battlefield, and they were persisting in the battle. Even the elite royal guards finally suffered casualties. Although they were the team that killed the most enemies on both sides of the battle, even if they formed a defensive formation, they still suffered losses due to too many enemies. As the commander, Gudean's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do but kill as many enemies as he could to comfort the heroes.

As for the exiles under Anne, they are undoubtedly the worst ones, who have just been reorganized and have not received any systematic training. However, after being deflated in front of the Royal Guard and the Knights of Faith, the Exile Coalition soon set their sights on the traitors who were much weaker than these two, and their original purpose was to keep Anne's power behind, so except for some who were not afraid of death or really had the ability, the Exile Coalition targeted them one after another. Moreover, these soldiers could not be grouped together because they were scattered, and heavy losses were inevitable.

And Anne, the only female leader of the Vault Dweller's Hill, managed to keep her composure and save as many lives as possible during the sudden blow, but she also attracted the vast majority of the Exile Alliance's siege. Although she had more than two hundred soldiers around her, some of whom had learned some skills in the fight with Qi Tianci, they were facing a full three thousand exile soldiers. And the leaders of those two forces appeared at the same time again. Because Anne's attraction to them was just too great.

Even if the unspoken rule on the Vault Dweller's Hill is to kill everyone who dares to betray the force, the two leaders of them are more or less reluctant to face such a powerful woman. However, Anne will certainly not get their wish. Although she was well aware of the current situation, she knew that if there were no reinforcements to rescue them, then there was only one final fate waiting for her, death. Anne didn't want to fall into the hands of the leaders of these forces anyway, and she knew that if she was captured, it would be no different from falling into hell. To this end, Anne also made a special preparation, that is, to place a small but sharp dagger inside her close-fitting clothes. Once that time really comes, then either kill anyone who dares to offend her with a dagger, or end your own life.

Her soldiers worked hard to protect her, and as the elite of Anne's men, they were not afraid to die, but it was completely impossible to break through under the siege of the Exile coalition, which was more than ten times their number. One by one, the soldiers fell, and there were also cases where a few soldiers laid down their arms and tried to surrender, but were either killed by their compatriots or by the Exiles' coalition. Gradually, only the last forty or fifty of the more than two hundred warriors remained, although nearly a thousand or so exile coalition troops died at their hands. But for the Exile coalition, it was only about a third of the loss. And for Anne, the end is imminent.

However, the turnaround finally came. While the leaders of the two exile forces were discussing what to do with the spoils, including Anne, in the safest place, dozens of excited exile soldiers were suddenly pierced by bows and arrows. And just a few seconds later, dozens of exile soldiers of unknown origin became ghosts under the arrow. And it was the death of nearly a hundred exile soldiers that sounded the horn of Anne's counterattack.

Except for Anne, no one could see what had ended the lives of the hundred or so exile soldiers. Although she was afraid of this, Anne took advantage of the fact that the enemy of her enemy was a friend, and she used it to shout, "The Allies are coming, everyone!" to restore the fighting spirit of her men. Although they didn't know who was helping them, the death of so many exile soldiers in one fell swoop was a huge morale boost. Although the coalition army was numerous, they were afraid of inexplicable death, so they retreated in a hurry under the counterattack of only forty or fifty soldiers. As for the two leaders, they were also frightened by this, and they were the fastest runners.

"Thank you for saving us. When she was finally safe, Anne whispered a thank you to a large tree behind her, and then Ciel stepped out of the shadows.
