Chapter 19 The Confluence Path

Grudo closed the door, and the sound of ping-pong came from behind him.

"I don't know how long this wooden door can last." Grudo exhaled, as if to exhale all his tiredness with it.

Then Grudo looked at the young man he had kicked into the room first, "Boy, don't cower there. Are you scared? ”

The young man in the guard's uniform, cowered in the corner, only glanced up at Grudo and looked away again.

The young man's name was Rudy, and Grudo was supposed to be the guard guarding the city gates, if he remembered correctly. Today, it was this young man who came to the camp to report the news, so that the garrison of the camp could know who the enemy was.

However, after hearing the young man's report, almost everyone remained suspicious, but fortunately the situation could not be delayed any longer. The deployment of the command post with a skeptical attitude finally made the pace of the demon race's advance slightly delayed.

But those human soldiers who have been peaceful for a long time and tend to be inferior in numbers can only delay the attack of the demons and buy time for the people to take refuge. If you want to defeat the demon army, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

In order to buy enough time, all the troops that could be put into it have been invested. There were no exceptions, including the commanders of the command post.

As for this young man named Rudy, he was assigned to his side, and now there are only two of them left after fighting all the way.

Grudo was dissatisfied with Rudy's non-reply: "Hey, boy! If you don't die, speak, or Lao Tzu will throw you out. ”

Rudy showed a visibly frightened expression when he heard Grudo's words, and shrank back: "I, I'm thinking about my wife." ”

"Huh?" Grudo was stunned for a moment.

"We've only been married for a long time...... I didn't even have time to inform her...... I don't know how she's doing now......"

Rudy buried his face in the palm of his hand as he spoke, and the young man's weak gesture made Grudo frown.

"Hey, I wanted to say something to comfort you, though." There was a pause: "But boy, look at the skin on your body clearly!" ”

As Grudo's tone became stern, Rudy involuntarily focused his gaze on him.

"I don't know how these demons appeared, and I don't know if their purpose is Her Royal Highness the Princess...... However, Her Royal Highness the Princess is not in the city. ”

In normal times, Grudo would have changed his name to His Royal Highness the City Lord immediately, but at this time he didn't have the time to pay attention to these trivial issues. There was a louder and loud knocking sound behind him, and Grudo's voice couldn't help but get faster and faster: "Boy, your business is not finished yet, I will open the door in a while to block the group of guys behind the door, you can jump from the window now." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is not in the city?" Rudy was visibly stunned.

"Don't worry, you can't die at three meters tall." Grudo grinned, "I don't have time to explain, Her Royal Highness went out early this morning to inspect how much the villages and towns in the west are affected by griffins. In order not to be deceived by the false situation, Her Royal Highness only took Margaret out quietly. ”

"After jumping, you walk along the wall to the back, where there are three hollow bricks on the wall facing the window, and you can get out if you remove them. That's what Her Royal Highness asked me to help prepare in order to sneak out to play. ”

At this, Grudo laughed.

"Yes, but you." Rudy looked at the heavy wooden door behind Grudo's back that was slashed and riddled with holes, and couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of the other party's words to help him stop those demons. At the same time, because of the surprise of learning that Her Royal Highness the princess went out of the city without permission, he didn't have time to digest it.

"Lao Tzu will not die! Lao Tzu is the captain of Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal guard, how can he die in such a place. Grudo laughed heroically, and usually deliberately referred to himself as "I", but now he was called even more rudely.

After speaking, he stood up: "Boy, if the time is right, now Her Royal Highness the Princess should be in Alhair, you go there to tell Her Royal Highness the princess about the affairs of the city." Be sure to bring the news! ”

As Grudo's words fell, there was a miserable sound from the heavy wooden door against which he was leaning, and at the same time he stood up, his body bursting with a mixture of milky white and pale gold.

"Don't get out of here!"

These were the last words Grudo heard before Rudy jumped out of the window.

……

……

Zhou Yan and the others walked in the forest, and at the forefront was Xia Luo, who led the way. In the middle is Zhou Yan with a white voice, and at the end are Youyou and the little girl who doesn't want to report her name.

"Why did you go to that village meow? It's obviously dangerous! Bai Yin, who was caught under Zhou Yan's armpit, asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"You can't just leave that kid alone, can you?" Zhou Yan looked back at the little girl who was being pulled by Youyou.

"Meow?" Bai Yin couldn't understand it.

"You want to laugh at me for being naΓ―ve or naΓ―ve, but at least I can't let go of that kid now." Zhou Yan shook his head: "And I won't enter that village, if there is no danger there, I will throw you there, as for the rest of the matter, you can figure it out yourself." ”

"Rotten good people will die quickly." Bai Yin only whispered a reply, and stopped talking.

Walking at the end with the little girl, he stared at Zhou Yan's back several times on the way and wanted to speak, but when he saw Bai Yin, who was caught under Zhou Yan's armpit and looked too honest, he couldn't help but close his mouth.

On the way, Zhou Yan asked Charlotte, who was walking at the front, and the answer was that Alhead was not far from where they had set off. But come to think of it, if it's too far away, the appearance of that child can't be said.

It was only twenty minutes after walking that Charlotte, who was walking in the front, slowed down.

Zhou Yan and the others also slowed down and kept a distance. In fact, he didn't let his guard down against Xia Luo Zhou Yan, but now he doesn't plan to conflict with anyone. In successive battles, many injuries had accumulated on his body. If there is another conflict, Zhou Yan may really have to fall.

Falling in this unaccompanied world, Zhou Yan couldn't imagine what a terrible situation it was.

In a few moments, a small village appeared in front of it, the edge of which was simply surrounded by a wooden hedge, but the hedges were not connected, but there were openings at regular intervals.

The village was quiet and untouched by the fighting.

Zhou Yan, who thought that he could finally shake off Bai Yin's burden, breathed a sigh of relief, and then threw Bai Yin on the ground without hesitation.

Bai Yin was rudely thrown to the ground by Zhou Yan and let out a cry of pain, and glared at Zhou Yan dissatisfiedly: "You can't just meow lightly?" ”

"Don't forget that we are still enemies." Zhou Yan smiled coldly, then no longer paid attention to Bai Yin, but looked back at Youyou.

Youyou, who noticed Zhou Yan's gaze, showed a panicked expression, but Zhou Yan just said to her expressionlessly: "Then, if you get to the city, you can unilaterally dissolve the relationship with the team." ”

Zhou Yan's unexpectedly decisive words made Youyou stunned, she just opened her mouth to say something, but Zhou Yan had already waved her hand coldly: "Those words are true, I lied to you and took advantage of you." Stop being so naΓ―ve to be deceived in the name of a friend. ”

After saying a word of advice that I don't know if it counts as the last piece of advice, Zhou Yan turned around and walked towards the forest.

"Mr. Yan......" Youyou still shouted.

Zhou Yan didn't look back, just waved his hand, with a chic attitude.

"That, does Mr. Yan know the road?" However, Youyou's slightly hesitant words made Zhou Yan stop.

"Meow ha!" Bai Yin laughed mercilessly.

Zhou Yan turned around stiffly, just like Youyou said, he didn't know the road at all, maybe if he walked indiscriminately, he would break into the demon clan's position.

Now, is your face already red? Zhou Yan only felt that it would be good to find a crack in the ground now. The feeling of burning on his face, coupled with Bai Yin's laughter, made Zhou Yan want to die.

"Hug, I'm sorry......" Yoyo felt that maybe he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly apologized.

"You're on good terms." At this time, just after Yoyo's voice fell, a gentle girl's voice sounded.

This voice attracted the attention of Zhou Yan and the others, because everyone's attention was attracted to it, and Zhou Yan's embarrassment eased slightly.

It was a girl of about twelve or thirteen years of age, with soft blonde hair scattered behind her, and a hair ornament of olive leaves on her head. There was still a gentle smile on her face, and behind the girl was a woman with long straight black hair and a very cold expression.

Realizing that everyone's attention was on herself, the girl noticed that she had lost her words. She looked embarrassed: "That, I'm sorry...... Because I saw you so happy, I didn't ...... unconsciously"

After saying that, she lowered her head, and she didn't know if it was because she was being watched or because she noticed her faux pas, and the girl even had red ears.

Where's the joy? After Zhou Yan silently complained in his heart, he asked Li in his mind:

"Li, is she a traverser?"

Bai Yin on the other side had also put away his smile, probably like Zhou Yan, and was asking if the girl who suddenly appeared was a traverser.

"No, she's from this world." Glass soon replied.

After listening to Li's words, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. If it was another traverser, Zhou Yan would have to doubt the other party's purpose. However, even if the other party was not a traverser, Zhou Yan still felt a little strange. It's just that this strange feeling is still a little ethereal, and it can't be caught.

When Zhou Yan was still meditating on the strange feeling, a chaotic footsteps sounded behind him.

Turning around, it was a sweaty young man, dressed in a guard's uniform, but covered in dust.

"Princess, where is Her Royal Highness?" This was the first sentence spoken by this breathless young man after seeing Zhou Yan and the others.
