Chapter 29: Each Shows His Powers (3)
Ravi was a guard at the Essis City Guard, and his original duty was to keep the city safe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoOn weekdays, I patrol the streets and catch hooligans and thieves. Unexpectedly, Chris's rebellion made him also sent to the head of the city to defend the city.
Two days ago, the war was still a distant thing for him, and he became a guard of the city guard, so that he could have a little power to shout at the civilians. He grew up without a family, and later joined a thief's guild. After the guild was cleared by Allen, he wandered for a while, and it was a difficult time. To be a thief, you have to be chased by the people of the city guard, and if you don't do your old job, you have no food. Of course, the barracks are always recruiting. But he didn't want to go, because he was afraid of death and didn't want to go to war. Later, the city guard was expanded, and because the recruiters did not know him as a frequent visitor to the city guard, he was called into a guard by mistake.
But the days of being a guard were much harder than Ravi had imagined. Guards are not only required to undergo military training, but also have strict discipline and rules.
He was placed in a squad of the North City team. The team consisted of five people, all of whom were from civilian families except him. This made him a little awkward with the rest of the world. However, compared to the previous "unbridled freedom and indulgence" thief guild, this serious, strict small group gave Ravi a sense of belonging. Ravi hates to admit it, but he kind of enjoys it. Because no one here is going to steal from you while sleeping or wipe your neck. No one will insult you wantonly, just because you accidentally rubbed his shoulder.
Now he doesn't have to worry about stealing, and he doesn't have to sleep in a livestock shed and eat leftovers. He has a dormitory, a salary, and a little power. More importantly, he had friends. He enjoyed this life very much, and he felt that he could live like this for the rest of his life.
But whatever you're afraid of comes. The whistling of the listener overhead, the whooshing of bows and arrows in the ears. Ravi was scared. His legs were shaking. In the past, he could run five or six kilometers in a row, but now he felt like he was about to fall after standing on the wall for a while.
"Stand up! Grab your weapon and the enemy will be on the attack! ā
A roar rang in his ears, followed by a strong tug of Ravi's collar that pulled him up from the ground. Ravi turned his head to see that it was Captain Hogg. He has a beard on his face and his eyes are like copper bells. As soon as he stared at it, he had a sense of power.
But Ravi knew that Captain Hogg was a good person, and as the captain of the team, he had always been the big brother of the team. And Hogg knew that Ravi had lost his family since he was a child, so he took special care of Ravi. I have to say that since these days, Hogg has faintly overlapped with the image of his father that Ravi has longed for since childhood.
It's the first time Ravi has seen such an angry expression as today.
Ravi was still stunned, Hogg had quickly put on his helmet, and the spear was already in his hand, tight, dead.
Looking at Hogg's nervous expression, Ravi spoke tremblingly.
"Team... Captain, why don't we sneak away. ā
"What did you say?" Hogg turned his head to look at Ravi. "You told me to run away?"
Ravi nodded quickly.
"yes. Captain, the battlefield is dangerous, and now there are many rebels, we will definitely not be able to stop it. What if something happens to you, sister-in-law and your children? ā
"Fart!" Hogg interrupted Ravi with a roar. "Ravi! I didn't expect you to be ungrateful. I still want to take care of you a little more. Tell you that Lao Tzu is an Esisian, and the Essis never run away! You coward! If you're afraid of death, leave now. I won't stop you. If you dare to say more, Lao Tzu will cut you first! ā
As if seeing the disdain in Hogg's eyes, Ravi felt anger rush to his chest. I couldn't help but roar: "I'm not a coward! I'm just reminding you that you still have a wife and son to support, and you can't die here! ā
"If I leave now, will the rebels be able to keep the city when they invade the city? How many more families will be destroyed? Have you forgotten our duty as soldiers? Soldiers must defend their homes and defend their country! ā
Ravi glared at Hogg, as if angry that Hogg didn't understand his intentions. "You idiot! Why give your life for the war of those nobles! You're not one of those lowly serfs! ā
"I'm not for the nobility, but for the family behind me! There are other people's and my own. ā
"Damn it!" Ravi turned his head and gave up on convincing the brainless Hogg. Look at the approaching enemy forces beneath the city walls. Ravi bit his tongue hard. The intense pain reached the brain, masking the fear of war. Once again, Ravi was in control of his body. He, like Hogg, put on his helmet. He clenched the spear in his hand.
He didn't want to fight. But he didn't want to lose the good days in front of him. After tasting peace, he no longer fears war, he hates it. But in order to keep their daily routine.
He was willing to gamble his life.
A tall, sturdy ladder rested on top of the wall, and Ravi tried to knock it down. But no matter how hard he pushed the ladder with his spear, he couldn't shake it in the slightest. Soon, however, an enemy climbed up the ladder to the top of the city.
Faced with the close enemy, Ravi shouted, "Ah!! Perhaps it was the shouting that gave him an outlet for his power, saving him from being overwhelmed by the overwhelming pressure. The spear in his hand stabbed forward with the only reason left.
With a snort, Ravi felt as if he had been pierced into a ball of cotton, and then he felt the spear sink as if it had been stuck in something.
When I looked closely, I saw that the enemy grabbed the spear that had penetrated deep into his chest, and the long knife in his hand slashed straight at Ravi's head.
"Get out of the way!"
Just when Ravi was stunned, Hogg next to him kicked Ravi's waist and knocked Ravi to the ground. Of course, the enemy's sword also slashed into the air. The last chance to die was not seized, and the soldier who had been stabbed in the stomach could only fall from the city with a weak howl, and then fell to the ground and fractured the proximal end, and died no more.
Ravi gasped for breath as he watched the enemy fall from the top of the city before he came back to his senses, and said to Hogg with gratitude and joy, "Thank you, team... Long...? ā
Before he could finish speaking, Ravi looked at an arrow that flew out of nowhere, broke through the chain mail's defenses, and stabbed it in the chest.
"Ravi!"
It was Hogg's roar, the last Ravi heard. Then he felt as if all the strength in his body was flowing out of that opening, his ears and eyes were out of function, and even his brain began to dizzy uncontrollably.
