The mountains northeast of Atlas -

The cold winds of the night blow through the rolling hills, the steep cliffs reflect the coldness of steel, the shadowed valleys whine, the separate rivers flow on both sides, and the vast forests are bordered a little farther away. ~with~dream~small~say~щww~mеng~lā

The lit bonfire swayed, and near the gray pointed tent lay a huge chest, a large dark red stain in the corner, and the cups clashed against each other to make a sound, and the figures shook to make a lively camp, and the tables full of food and wine were full of people, and the coarse noise, mixed with cheers and cheers, reflected in the firelight, and the slightly thin figure scurried around in panic, and was then pushed back by the surrounding people.

When she fell, the weak girl's skirt cracked, revealing the snow-white skin inside, she subconsciously grabbed the corner of the skirt, and the bald man who tried to catch the girl several times showed a hideous smile, and the huge figure shrouded her almost desperate side face, and then struggled violently, the hands that kept slapping were twisted, the legs of the kicking were separated, accompanied by wailing and begging for mercy, and in the louder and louder shouts, a certain evil brilliance became more and more prosperous.

The moment her clothes were torn, she felt a cold touch, and the big hands that were doing evil on her body were unscrupulous, and she closed her eyes in humiliation, the flames dimmed inexplicably in the bonfire, and the warm liquid sprinkled all over her body, and then ...... A pungent smell of blood.

"Ahh Fearfully pushed away the big man who had turned into a corpse on his body, and the blood gushing out of his neck splashed her all over her body, she shrank in the corner in fear, and opened her eyes in horror, the first thing she saw was the head of the big man with a fixed expression, and continued to go up, the purple hair that stood up swayed gently, and the tall figure was shrouded in a black power suit, which was an awe-inspiring figure.

The firelight seemed to have dimmed, the noise had long since disappeared, and in the oppressive atmosphere, some people looked at the dead man suspiciously, some people focused on the woman who suddenly fell from the sky, and more people's eyes fell on the head in her hand.

“…… Tolia ......"

“…… She's Toria! ”

“…… Who? Who is Toria? ”

I don't know who whispered, and then the chaos suddenly broke out, someone shouted and rushed up, the purple hair tail was raised, and it rotated gracefully for half a circle, and the ghostly whip leg was thrown out, and the person who rushed to her flew out upside down before he could rush to her, knocked down the bonfire, and did not hit the ground, and the person on the other side flew high, maintaining a face-up posture, in front of him was the woman who was leaning over with her back to him, her left foot was raised high back, and her soft waist swung to the ground, and he flew out, More of those affected wailed.

Reflected in the firelight was a woman in the form of a Valkyrie......

After a long time, there was no one standing in the whole camp except her, the human body was strewn around, the overturned tent, the broken wine bottle, the food spilled on the ground, Tolia glanced at the girl hiding in the corner, and then commanded the adjutant who hurried over.

"Lilith, settle that woman well, she should be a survivor." As she spoke, she looked around, her eyes fell on the body of the big man, and she did not hide the disgust in her eyes, "Except for the big man who was killed by me at the beginning, everyone else should be unconscious, you count the number of people, don't miss anyone." ”

"Yes." Lilith then answered, picked up the shivering girl and retreated, and then the guards belonging to Atlas rushed over and tied up the unconscious bandits.

On the other side, Lilith, who suddenly came into contact with the messenger sent by Leonard, couldn't help but show a surprised expression when she received his message, and then she ran to Tolia.

“…… Toria, there's news from Isabella! ”

“…… Well?! ”

The beads embedded in the wall glowed softly, and the shadow fell on the upholstered floor, and at the small square table, he glanced at the serious girl opposite, and then shrugged his shoulders.

The table was made by him who asked Sal, of course, he couldn't make it at first, whether it was the person who asked or the person who was asked, he was not a carpenter, but fortunately, there was a lot of time, and after a few wrong trials, he barely managed to piece together the semi-finished product in front of him, saying that it was a semi-finished product, but because the table legs were too short, if you really wanted to talk about it, it was also something like a kang table.

He sat cross-legged at the table, drawing things that resembled sketches, the fences of livestock, changes in geographical locations, drawings of crossbows and bows that he couldn't remember, miscellaneous things, everything he could think of, as a means of passing the time.

Vivien, who was on his side, leaned on his thighs, breathing steadily, already asleep, accompanied by occasional murmurs for unknown reasons, but quietly but the opposite of the usual lively and active image, there was something cute.

He reached out and touched her ears like a teaser, and then swayed slightly, if the trick lasted long, Vivien would flip her body impatiently, muttering a word or two that she didn't understand, but she didn't wake up, thinking she was sleeping too soundly, he said secretly.

Then such a small movement was seen by Isabella, who was sitting opposite, and glared at him lightly, he shook his head indifferently, perhaps because he felt that there was nothing he could do with him, she immediately looked away again, and in the middle of the night, he carried Vivien to the bed, and then covered her with the quilt.

When she returned to the table, Isabella, who was sitting on her side, yawned softly.

"The dark circles under your eyes are all out, and you still have to hold on?"

Hearing Shen Yi's words, the girl subconsciously touched her eyes, and when she saw him with such a smile, she also woke up and was deceived by him.

"I don't want to be teased while I'm asleep!"

The confrontation responded, she turned her gaze to the small book in her hand again, the quiet time began to flow, the light hovered quietly like flowing water, and the heartbeat that quietly accelerated, but it couldn't stop for a while, she secretly raised her head and glanced at Shen Yi, her eyes fell on the things he painted, all of which she couldn't understand, and then the two met unexpectedly, but in less than a second, she looked away with a weak heart, and lowered her head in disguise.

Like an inverted hourglass, time slipped between her fingers, she changed her sitting posture uneasily, pretending to turn the pages, but the temperature on her face gradually increased, from just now, she could feel the gaze that seemed a little hot to her, closed the book, she took a deep breath, turned to Shen Yi with her blushing cheeks, and looked at him with some shame.

"Don't you know that it's rude to keep an eye on a lady?"

Hmm, Shen Yi immediately stopped the sketch-like action in his hand, because he thought it was interesting, he couldn't help but want to draw Isabella's shy expression just now, his eyes fell on her, at this time Isabella's demeanor was also quite cute, the tone was as soft as usual, even when he was angry, he would not raise any pitch, his red cheeks, his dodging gaze, and then he looked directly at his thin anger, probably even she herself didn't realize how tempting she was now, he thought, and then smiled and said: "Well, I see, but Miss Lady, it was you who stared at me first, how do you explain it? ”

"I, I, I...... I'm just curious, these things, seeing things I haven't seen and feeling sincerely searching**, isn't it a matter of course? So it's definitely not staring at you, please don't be mistaken, my esteemed teacher. She pointed to the draft in Shen Yi's hand, her eyes flickering slightly, and she emphasized her defense.

Here we go again, how long will we hold a grudge? Shen Yi looked at Isabella who deliberately pretended to be casual, and when she said the word "teacher" the more expressionlessly, he had every reason to believe that it was definitely full of resentment, thinking like this, he sighed.

"Alas, my dear student, when will you learn to respect your teacher?"

"Hmph, there is no need for a teacher with corrupt morals to enjoy respect." Isabella raised her head affirmatively, and only at this time could she see that the girl was a little proud of her original nature, and he stroked her forehead helplessly: "I really miss the Isabella who is afraid of me to death." ”

Immediately, Isabella subconsciously wanted to refute, and then she didn't know what to think, and her expression became dark, and in the end, it turned into a low mutter: "I...... I...... I'm here, if I had maintained that cold attitude from the beginning, I wouldn't have had any expectations, why did I suddenly show so much concern for myself, are you teasing me......" The last few words were even so faint that only she could hear them, yes, why should you be so gentle with her? She's not Vivian, so what's the mood of gaining and losing now?

"I can't hear clearly, what did you say?"

"Nothing!" Responding to him angrily, she immediately lay on the table, looking at Isabella's appearance, Shen Yi spread her hands, what was she angry about?

……

*************************************************************************************

The next day-

There was no sunlight to be seen in the slightly gloomy sky, and there was a rustling sound in the oppressive forest, he glanced at the sky, the dark sky seemed to mean a heavy rain, Vivien and Isabella had not yet woken up in the house, Sal's hunter team had already set off, and it was not always time when he went hunting with the team, but he didn't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, on this day without him, the hunter team was caught off guard.

It was the usual scene, when they talked and laughed and stepped into the familiar forest, they were not aware of what was going to happen, the only thing that seemed strange was probably that they could not hear the usual insect chirping in the forest that seemed too quiet. Before he had gone too far, Thrall felt a little more depressed than usual, and when he sensed something was wrong and was about to call a halt to the group, the attack suddenly occurred.

Suddenly, a rope fell from the sky and covered their heads, and before they could react, the grass followed closely with the number of humans who were far greater than their team, and then they drew their knives to cut the ropes, and before they could escape, they were already surrounded by groups, not much of a fierce struggle, the other party was obviously well-trained, and many of their team were subdued in just one look.

Then Barton tore open the encirclement with brute force, and in a hurry, Thrall was stabbed in the arm, but he didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly turned around, and Barton's bear-like body was immediately thrown to the ground by six or seven humans.

"Run! Sal, go and inform Ah Yi and Old Man Nior, they are Atlas soldiers! ”

"But ......"

"Leave me alone, run!"

Glancing at Barton's determined eyes, he resisted the urge to turn back, and ran in the direction of the village, and before he had gone far, an arrow from behind pierced his shoulder, and he staggered down, gritting his teeth and pulling out the pruning from his shoulder, blood soaking his sleeve, and he stood up, and then rushed to the village again.

When he fled back from the forest covered in blood, he saw Shen Yi standing at the gate of the village from a distance, and before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the arrows that suddenly shot out of the forest were aimed at his eyebrows, with a cold murderous intent, he turned his head sideways, and the approaching cold front was reflected in his eyes, if there was no accident, he would definitely be shot.

Thinking like this, he instinctively closed his eyes, slipped to the ground in a wolf manner, and when he opened his eyes again, the flying arrow stopped at the center of his eyebrows, and Shen Yi, who didn't know when he appeared on his side, held the pruning tightly tightly.

"What happened?"

“…… Yes yes...... It's the soldiers of Atlas who attacked us! ”
