The weather is warmer, the snow is melting, the earth is revealing its original face, the simple and thick black replaces the cold and stiff white, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth, which is the breath of life.

All kinds of plants, which have long been accustomed to the cold, are also flourishing at this time.

The plateau moss covers the black earth, the low shrubs are trying to decorate themselves, and the wildflowers grow in clusters, colorful, and the streets and alleys full of small flower lanes decorate this quiet and elegant town even more beautifully.

Little Ikebana is a beautiful and peaceful town.

The streets are wide and tidy, the ground is paved with colorful fog stones, like carefully woven ribbons, the road is flanked by white-walled and blue-roofed houses, and red-walled and gold-roofed shops, and in the center of the town is a flat square with exquisite sculptures standing on the square, which is really rare in places like the North Demon Plain.

Kobanamichi is rich in kura, a beautiful mineral with a magnificent color that also emits a charming light at night.

The composition of the ore is different, and the color of the halo is also different, light red, emerald green, lime yellow, light blue, the light is very light, and it is also very hazy, but in the dark night, it is brilliant.

Of course, it's just as expensive.

Most of the residents of Xiaohana Road make a living from mining, so the low white walls of each house will be dotted with some scattered fluorite.

The night of the small flower path is undoubtedly the most charming in the Northern Demon Plain, whenever the sun does not enter the sky, these fluorites will emit colorful light, like beautiful small flowers, dotted with stars, full of colors.

At night, the dazzling sea of flowers and the boundless night are reflected in the distance, and it is also the happiest moment for the residents of the town.

That night, after Bran made his usual rounds, he sneaked to an ordinary house in the town with his guards, and although the situation was tense, he still thought about the woman in his heart.

Bran is the leader of the Ikebana Hook Scythe Troupe, a rank 6 samurai, and the hook and sickle is an ancestral art.

This hook scythe is evolved from the halberd, the crescent moon on the side, the hook is sharp, not so heavy, but more light and flexible, lurking in the infantry camp, is definitely a deadly threat to the charging cavalry. The Hook and Scythe Corps was formed for the cavalry.

The 1,000-strong Hook and Sickle Gunners were stationed in the fortified military town of Little Flower Road, surrounded by eight small villages, each with 500 garrisons, within a few miles. The distance between the villages is very close, any place is attacked, the surrounding garrisons can quickly rush to help, the military town of Xiaohuadao, equivalent to 5,000 garrisons, to break through all at once, it is very difficult.

Bran was convinced.

The mixed combination of hook and sickle spears, archers, and cavalry has great lethality, so in the bluestone village five miles away from Xiaohuadao, there is also a 500-person archer troop stationed.

Bran, who travels between the two places frequently, bought a female slave in Qingshi Village last year.

The slave girl was originally the daughter of a powerful person in the Duchy of Nolan, and she was born with extraordinary appearance, and when Bran saw it, she was moved, and spent a lot of money for it, and killed two competitors to bring this girl back.

Now that the war is imminent, Bran worries about the woman's safety, so he secretly takes her to Xiaohana Road and places her in an ordinary house.

Although the military town is strong, it is also the target of the opponent's key attack, but it is not as safe as ordinary houses.

Standing outside the woman's door, in the sea of neon flowers, an unreal sense of happiness lingered in his heart:

The woman has a gentle personality and a beautiful face, if it weren't for the disaster, I am afraid that I would not have the blessing to have her!

If there is no war, how nice it would be to have a family with her!

Bran shook his head vigorously, got rid of these distractions, straightened his clothes and led his mouth, and stepped forward to knock lightly on the door.

It wasn't long before there was a small sound of footsteps inside the door.

Crunch! The door opened slightly, revealing a pale and delicate face.

The sensible guard did not follow, and stood in the distance with his eyes closed.

"You're here!" The woman saw that it was him, bowed her head and greeted, but did not open the door.

"Xiao Juan, why is your face so bad today? Is there something uncomfortable? Bran saw that the woman's face was pale and felt that something was wrong.

"Wang Hu, how many of them are?"

Wang Hu and the others were his guards who were arranged nearby to protect the women.

"Nothing, I'm fine! Are you going to come in now? The woman looked at him with a complicated expression, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

There is someone behind the door, Xiao Juan is in danger!

Bran's face changed slightly, and then he pretended to be relaxed and said, "No, I'm just coming to see you, I'll leave immediately, you close the door and rest early!" ”

With that, he turned and left.

Damn it! Who is it, how can they even know such a secret thing? Bran secretly speculated in his heart, but he didn't know that there was a fat man who was snickering lewdly hundreds of miles away.

Bran didn't say a word, he walked in a hurry, several guards could only follow silently for some reason, and when they came to a no-man's corner, Bran stopped and commanded a few words to the two guards behind him, the guards nodded, and then left separately.

Bran took the rest of the guards and hid in the corner, a well-crafted hook and sickle spear in his hand, and the slender scythe exuded a cold aura in the bright neon.

Soon, a group of about 100 hook and sickle gunners hurried in, and the leader came to Bran's side and bowed: "Chief, what happened?" ”

"Is there any movement in the camp?"

"Everything works!"

"You first bring people to surround that room, and then you will do it when the people from Qingshi Village come over!"

"Be careful, don't alarm the other party!"

"Got it!"

Without further questioning, the leader cautiously approached the dwelling that Bran was referring to, and laid an ambush on either side of the gate.

After another half an hour, there was another chaotic sound of footsteps in the distance, and hundreds of tall figures with longbows appeared in view.

Bran stared at the leader, and the man at the head was tall, dark-faced, and his eyes were piercing.

"Who are you? What about Jing Han? He clenched his hook and sickle and asked vigilantly, and the person who came was very angry.

Jing Han is the leader of the Longbow Battalion in Qingshi Village, and he has an excellent relationship with him, but now he has not appeared, which makes him have a bad premonition.

Is something wrong?

"The leader has something else to do today!" The leader replied.

"Something?" Bran was suspicious, and looked at the big man carefully, the big man's breath was calm, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you? ”

"In Shimoda Whale Fu, it has just entered the camp!" The big man replied in a deep voice.

"Has the mine in your village been repaired?"

"This, the villain doesn't know!"

There are no mines in Qingshi Village at all!

"Kill them!" As soon as Bran heard the other party's answer, he knew that Jing Han was finished, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to do it.

But the big man's movements were much faster than him, and he waved his hand-

"Shoot!"

Whoosh! A barrage of arrows came at him, and the hook and sickle on the opposite side instantly fell in half, snorting on the ground.

"Rush forward! Don't let them get away! Bran had extraordinary marksmanship, a few blocks, a few bullets, a few bullets of arrows, and then his arms exerted force, and the big gun buzzed straight to the neck of the black-faced man.

The two sides are now close to each other, and if they get close, these archers will be slaughtered.

The big man sneered, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, turned sideways to let go of the spear, picked up the longbow in his hand and smashed it straight at Bran, in the light, Bran clearly saw that the outside of the bowstring was actually a series of tiny serrations, and the bow body was even more faint metallic.

You've met a master! The opponent holds a strong bow in his hand, is skillful in hand-to-hand combat, and his shots are deadly, far from being comparable to ordinary archers.

The remaining dozens of hook and sickle soldiers could not avoid it, and they also gritted their teeth and rushed forward with their spears, and went straight to the archers behind the big man to kill.

But the archers' arrows were extremely fast and preemptive, and one of them fired several arrows in succession, and in a few crashes, all a hundred gunners were knocked to the ground, including several guards with Bran.

Bran knew he was in danger, and with a roar of rage, the spear rolled up in a cloud of light and shrouded the black-faced man. The black-faced man saw that he was ferocious, so he could only retreat and avoid it, but Bran made a false move, turned around and ran towards the woman's house.

He only had one thought now, he couldn't let the people in the house hurt the woman.

Kankan came to the door, but the door suddenly burst with a bang, and flew out upside down, smashing straight at Bran.

Bran didn't have time to dodge, so he had to carry his gun in front of him, ready to resist.

His arms had just gathered together, and the door had already reached him.

Click! A large hole appeared in the door, and a fist suddenly came out of it.

Boom! A figure snorted.

In the neon of the little flower arrangement, there is another touch of blood!
