Chapter 2 Zhao'an (2)
The medium-sized force Ethan spoke of was on a desolate plain northeast of Vault Dweller's Hill.
In the previous attack on the Lohan Empire's Sacred Wall, Ethan's force suffered a crushing defeat, and without the assistance of the orcs, they only shook a few circles under the walls that were taller and stronger than the Courage Defense Line, and the barbarians in the city opened the gates and slaughtered them, killing the exiles in an hour and chasing them for more than ten kilometers. And you must know that at this time, the exiles invested no less than twenty or thirty thousand troops, and the barbarians guarding the sacred wall of the enemy had to send a large number of troops to the east to help defend the orc clans and tribes, so the barbarians stationed in this holy wall of the enemy were far from being elite, and the number was only five or six hundred. And the number of those who fought out of the city gate was even fewer, but only about two hundred.
But even these two hundred or so ordinary barbarian soldiers turned into desolate beasts in the blink of an eye in the eyes of the exiles of the Vault Dweller's Hill, and most of the barbarian soldiers did not even have a decent mount, and fought on their own foot. But that was enough, most of the exiles were usually hungry people who didn't even have enough to eat, and they ran slower than turtles in front of these red-eyed barbarian soldiers. But when the outnumbered exiles faced the barbarian soldiers, none of them dared to stand up to them. You must know that even if they have just suffered defeat, the exiles' army is still in the tens of thousands, and the barbarians who rushed out are only a few people.
However, the exiles, who had no coordination at all, collapsed. Just took advantage of the chaos to kill a dozen careless barbarian soldiers, and injured thousands of people himself. It's a shame.
And Ethan's previous forces also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, the original force of nearly 5,000 people lost most of them in an instant, the original members died and fled, and in the end there were less than half of the people who were willing to follow the leader of the force. And Ethan took advantage of this opportunity to finally break away from this force. What he didn't expect was that before he could plan to show his ambitions, he strayed into the hunting range of the Orc Clan and Magellan's Guard. However, in the end, it was reorganized by Magellan into the Knights of the Faith, and since then the shotgun has become the official army of a country, which is not a bad thing.
That night, the coalition forces finally found the medium-sized force not far from them, after a constant search. Tricky, however, the fact that the forces had various outposts around their camps, combined with their relative location on the highest part of the plain, made a surprise attack impossible.
Not enough, just when Qi Tianci was worried about how to swallow this not easy to gnaw bone, Ethan laughed softly. Qi Tianci was puzzled for a while: "What are you laughing at?"
Ethan realized his gaffe and replied a little embarrassed: "Because I remembered some things from my previous head, so I couldn't help but laugh, in fact, my relationship with her is still quite good, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't see hope there, I wouldn't have chosen to go." “
"Are you talking about her?" Qi Tianci immediately felt that there was a drama when he heard Ethan's tone, and when he heard that the leader of that force was actually a woman, he was immediately surprised.
Qi Tianci had learned some things about the Vault Dweller's Hill in the process of getting along with the leader of the wolf cavalry, and in this chaotic world, there were basically men who were respected. And the women here usually have no status at all, and it can be said that the only role of the women in the Vault Dweller's Hill is to please men and produce, and there is no other use for it. There are even times when a faction is in short supply of food, they will give priority to slaughtering the women of their faction to replenish their food, and then slaughter some seriously injured or short-lived adults after the women are eaten. It's really not going to eat those young children. When the leader of the wolf cavalry said this, Qi Tianci was full of disgust and sympathy for the exiles of the Vault Dweller's Hill, but in this world of the jungle, they gave a glimmer of hope to new life. At least much better than the situation of women and the elderly.
But no one told him that there was a female leader in this Vault Dweller's Hill, and that it was a relatively large force not long ago. And after being "slaughtered" by the barbarians, he was able to lead more than 2,000 remnants of the army to escape, and after setting up camp, he did not forget to set up sentry posts along the way to prevent attacks. Although these sentry posts seemed to be more or less amateurish to Qi Tianci, so amateur that he could find most of them at a casual glance, there were still people who could arrange sentry posts among the exiles who generally had no formal combat experience, and it was a woman, which was enough to arouse Qi Tianci's interest.
Sure enough, when Ethan once again confirmed that the commander of this force was indeed a woman, Qi Tianci's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Let's go!"
Ethan was stunned when he said this, and it wasn't until Qi Tianci patted him on the shoulder that he realized that Qi Tianci was saying this to him. "You, what do you mean? Where are we going?"
"Of course, I went to Zhao'an. Qi Tianci casually rode a war horse and walked straight towards the plain not far away, and Ethan didn't catch up with Qi Tianci's back until he was about to lose sight of him. Although it was still very reluctant in its heart and didn't understand what Qi Tianci meant at all, Qi Tianci had already left first, and Ethan was unwilling and could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
Ten minutes later, Qi Tianci and Ethan came to the camp of that force one after another, and when Ethan just arrived, he had obviously missed something. This can be seen from the fragments of arrows left on the ground and the exile soldiers who fell to the ground groaning in pain. And Qi Tianci was riding on his horse with a smile on his face, and across from him was a team of exiles of more than a hundred people, led by a woman with a fiery face.
Seeing that Ethan was still here, Qi Tianci pretended to be a little surprised and shouted, "Oh, thank God, Ethan, you are finally willing to help me." That little girl on the other side is your lady, right? It seems that only you can solve it. After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Ethan, who looked embarrassed, and the inexplicable woman opposite him urged the war horse to run towards Ethan. At this time, the woman opposite focused on Ethan's body and exclaimed, "It's you?"
And Ethan only waved his hand awkwardly: "This, Annie, long time no see." ”
