Chapter 3 It is difficult to stand alone

Time passed strangely slowly for Teucer, but the fragrant smoke gradually rose from the dilapidated houses of Goodbay behind him, and the sun finally lazily climbed overhead, but it seemed to become agitated, and exerted its own light, and the red sun of the early morning had long since transformed into a scorching sun, and it roasted Teucer standing guard without mercy.

"My dear lads, it's time for lunch! Hurry up – come over for dinner! "The shouting of the town cooks and the sound of bells could be heard from below the battlements. Every day when the sun shines overhead, Robert, who resembles a chimpanzee, is punctual in the open space next to the log pile outside the gatekeeper at the entrance of the town, he is the only cook in the town, and it is thanks to him that it is because he has come to the town of Gudebai that the gate of Gudebai has enjoyed the once unimaginable fresh bread. Bread was not a delicacy for the wealthy, but it was already considered a good meal for the guards of Gudebai. This is why there are constantly people willing to come to work - despite the danger of being a guard in the town of Gudebai, being able to eat fragrant barley bread while in danger is a stimulating topic of seeking food in the face of danger, and it is something that the residents of Gudebai are often happy to talk about. The inhabitants are almost all poor, and families like Toucer have only a little unhusked wheat to eat a day, which is what the relatively wealthy families in towns like Marado call 'coarse chaff'.

The barley bread for lunch was the most exciting moment for Tocque, who followed the wheat aroma of the bread and galloped like a monkey in the forest, quickly scurrying down the wooden arrows, and almost instantly ran in front of Robert, stretched out his dirty hands, and took the hot toast from Robert's hands. The fat man Marado was sleepy, apparently unaware that it was noon, and after opening his hazy eyes impatiently, he walked slowly up to Robert, revealing a look of disgust.

"Hey, damn it, it's bread again today, can you change it for some other tricks? I need beef, pork, lamb, as long as it's meat, and you don't have to think about my identity and status in this town with that chimpanzee-like head, will it kill you if you add some beef filling in it? Marado's face was filled with disdain, and he kept complaining, "Bread, bread, disgusting bread." ”

"Phew, if I'm not mistaken, you're the fat 'grandson' of the Delo family, don't think that your dad has a little gold in his house, just think that you don't think you think this or that, tell you, your family is just one after another earth dogs who have never seen the world in my eyes. If you like it, you can eat it, and if you don't like it, give me back the bread. There are still many people in the town who are starving! If it hadn't been for Mr. Mayor asking me to deliver bread to you incompetent guards, I wouldn't have bothered to go to this place, where I can't tell when a bunch of goblins will pop up! Robert the chimpanzee squinted at the fat Marado, and his face was full of unscrupulousness.

Marado's face flushed, and he walked to the side like a wounded pig and munched on bread with a frustration. "Bread, bread, who the fuck invented this unpalatable thing. Wait for me, you chimpanzee, when my dad becomes mayor of the town, I won't hide you like the old man of the town, I'm going to hand you over to the Earl of Entle, maybe I can ask for a big bounty, you can remember it for me. ”

Teucer held the bread against the wooden fence, he tasted it slowly little by little, and then looked at the dramatic scene, his heart was already happy, he peeked at the red-faced Marado, and then looked at the angry Robert, his heart secretly amused, "It is worthy of a person who has seen the world, and it sounds exciting to scold people!" Yes, if you have a little bit of gold, you pretend to be scolded. Robert and our old mayor are good friends. ”

"Mr. Robert, your bread is so good." Teucer gave a thumbs up to him, as he had only half of the bread left in his hand.

"Of course, since Entre came to this damned place, I have been a servant to the court of Earl of Entre Red Boar. My master is the most famous cook in Entle, well, the only pity is that he seems to have joined the king's conspiracy, and when he was adding 'ingredients' to the earl, he was accidentally discovered by the earl's red boar's guards, and his head was cut off, not to mention, it also affected us more inferior servants. Robert's words were full of regret, and he sighed to the sky, and he suddenly noticed the flattering Teucer, "I am a cook, but I am also a merchant, poor boy Teucer, and I know you still want a piece, but--regularly and quantitatively, my old friend has given me only a few sons, and there are no more." The ripe wheat in this hellish place was not so easy to obtain, and most of it was hoarded by the man's profiteer father. Of course, there may be plenty of them in those goblin nests outside of Goodbay. If you rabbit cubs, who are thinner than the Entel levies, can get it back there, or go back and stand guard. ”

"Oh, dear Mr. Robert, you are such a straightforward person. I just wanted to compliment you on how delicious your bread is baked. Teucer had an embarrassed look on his face. It's just that"

"It's just that there's not much, not even a piece more, well, I don't want to stay in this place any longer, the atmosphere here is unsettling, I think this is the end of our, the 'madman Benjamin' in the Temple of the Broken God is still waiting for me to offer bread. I'm busy. Robert looked at Teucer warily, remembering the unpleasant events that had happened with the guards, and he covered the bread on the tray and turned away.

"But get on your way, Mr. Robert." Teucer touched his chest with one hand and saluted Robert, the chef who had turned away, with a smile on his face, and he looked at the longbow and rusty iron sword in his hand, but his father's teachings echoed in his ears. "But get on your way, Mr. Robert."

The fat man is always the material for the fat man, and Marado hurriedly finished the bread and went to nap at the town gate. Teucer saw Marado napping again on the stack of arrows, and his eyes followed Marado's thunderous snoring. Teucer then propped himself up on the ground with the longbow that Alec had handed him, looking as far ahead as he could to drive himself away. Fortunately, the mosquitoes that often haunt the side can keep Teucer away at any time, so as to forget the existence of sleepiness. The sky was getting darker, and the setting sun showed only half of its face on the shadow of the Highland Mountains. The difference in light was so strong that Teucer's eyes were almost blinded by the rays of the setting sun.

Twenty or thirty gray shadows suddenly appeared on the seven turns and eight turns of the dirt path in the distance, and they leaped swiftly over the weeds and rocks under the cover of the trees. Then there was a noisy shout, and at first glance, it was black. Teucer was shocked. Rang the large bell dangling in the air above his right. "Jingle, ding, ding." The bells rang through the dusk. "Oops! Feed! Fat Marado!! Attention, it's a goblin attack, go and use the logs against the gate of the town! Don't let them rush in! Before Teucer could speak, he heard a "whoosh" as a rusty arrow hit the edge of the wooden battlement. Teucer's mouth was wide open. "Oh, Goddess Arcana~~ My life is given by you, mine" and with another "whoosh", the goblins' bows and arrows missed the target again and hit the wooden fence. Teucer only subconsciously crouched behind the window edge of the wooden arrow stack.

"ΗΡγΛκΤΞΜ" shouted the goblins outside the city, holding rudimentary banners made of red rags. "ΗΡγΛκΤΞΜ,ΓρΡ (Hillbilly, give up the defense, pay the money and let's go)" All the goblins' eyes flashed with an evil light, this light shot from their eyelidless eyes and another Tork shuddered, and in front of the goblin stood a tightly tied, scrawny ** man, shivering in the cold wind, it seemed that there was no doubt that this scrawny gentleman had been reduced to a hostage ready to be slaughtered at any time. Teucer took aim at one of the goblins, but his hands were shaking so hard that God knows if he could take aim. The goblins then kicked the badly malnourished withered man to the ground, his legs trembling to his knees. The shriveled man begged with tears on his face, hoping that the goblin would let him go, but of course he knew in his heart that the possibility was slim to none.

Teucer hesitated to shoot such an arrow. He also knew that such a posture was more than auspicious for this man.

"Marado! What are you doing!? Teucer shouted Marado.

"Teucer the Musty, as soon as you were on duty, I was attacked by a goblin! Phew! You're such an unlucky guy! What are you urging, didn't you see that I was using a log against the town gate? I saw them through the cracks in the wooden fence! There are so many of them coming, I suggest we run after the town gate is blocked! Sticking here will cost you your life like a fool! The Kodo and Malvi who were killed by these goblins are our role models, as well as the dwarf surnamed Dig. Marado's reply was visibly panicked and trembling, "Oh my God! We'll have to report to the mayor and ask for more reinforcements, and the mayor can at least call in his personal guard! ”

Teucer seemed to have been overwhelmed by the goblins' battle and did not respond to Marado.

"Κα (hahahaha)" The goblin seemed to hear the emotional part of the fat Marado's cry through the wooden fence.

Before Teucer could find the white strip of cloth, the goblins outside the town gate seemed to have gone berserk.

"ΚΡμ" saw a goblin, slightly taller than these goblins, with an evil totem painted red on his face, grabbing the shriveled man's hair, making him raise his head, exposing his neck, and looking disdainfully and defiantly at Teucer who slowly poked his head out of the battlement after hearing his screams. Teucer caught up with the arrow and aimed tremblingly.

The big goblin held a scimitar covered with red rust in his hand, the blade of the scimitar roamed the shriveled man's throat, the man's eyes widened and trembled, only to see the blade suddenly speed up, the man's face suddenly became extremely distorted, the man's tongue sticked out of the long, and then Teucer heard the sound of "poof" throat ligament severing, and a human head dripping with blood said goodbye to the neck completely under the sudden pull of the big goblin, Blood shot out of the man's neck, sending out a blood-colored fountain at least 1 foot high. The goblins were restless. The tall goblin carried the man's head and roared into the sky, as if to inspire his minions to charge and attack.

Teucer reflexively closed his eyes, his mind in chaos, thinking that his dark future would end as tragically as the man. He trembled and shot the bow and arrow he had set up earlier, "Wow! Shot missed! Oops, let's run away. A scream erupted in Tork's heart.

Enraged by the arrows that were fired leisurely, the goblins were greeted by a group of black-pressed goblins, carrying the shoddy and rudimentary red banner, towards the wooden fence of Gudebai's only defensive facility, and the smaller goblins carrying wooden ladders also divided into two small groups as the sturdy goblins attacked, and ran towards the wooden fence of Gudebai Town. It seems that these guys are preparing to climb over the fence, and they have decided to force their way into the town of Gudebai and plunder after taking out the guard, who knows how to advance or retreat.

Teucer panicked. Shouted: "Fatty, come up to the wooden fence and prepare for defense!" Marado didn't respond to Teucer at all. Teucer fired with Afterglow, and the fat Marado was long gone, and it was clear that the guy had abandoned himself on the stack of arrows, leaving only a rusty axe on the ground not far away.

The goblins quickly approached the wooden fence, and the emaciated goblins leaned their rudimentary wooden ladders against the fence, and Teucer's only hope now was the few nine arrows left in his longbow and quiver.

The first agile and ugly goblin had climbed the wooden fence from the wooden ladder, and he jumped to the wooden fence about ten paces away from Teucer's arrow stack. Teucer used the longbow in his hand to shoot a panicked arrow in the direction of the goblin, the goblin ducked his head, but was hit in the head, he rolled off the wooden fence in response, and pressed on the head of the thin goblin holding the wooden ladder downstairs, the goblin who was climbing the wooden ladder lost his balance on the ladder because he lost his support, and he also flew out with a scream, fell heavily to the ground, and lost his breath after kicking his legs a few times. Teucer was in a hurry, his palms holding the longbow were sweating profusely, and the fat man Marato's advice echoed in his mind, and after Teucer's brain was modified, he kept reminding Teucer, "Teucer, run away, run, hide far away, the well in the middle of the town may be able to escape!" This position isn't for you, and if you don't run, you'll be a lump of meat in the waist of these ugly goblins by this time tomorrow. Of course, that's the only wish on Toke's heart at the moment.

Teucer's brain had completely blocked out and ignored the goblin's shouting, and he quickly turned to "find" a way to escape by jumping off the battlement, in fact, Teucer was already dizzy with nervousness, and he could have turned around and climbed down the wooden ladder behind him to escape the town. However, it was too late at this time, and as he turned around, an ugly goblin appeared in front of him, a terrifying look that Teucer would always remember that he had never seen a goblin's cheek so closely. The dark eyes on the twisted monster's face with no eyelids. Suddenly, his head seemed to be hit by some blunt object, and there was a "buzz" sound. Teucer's world crumbles before his eyes.
