The two teams went out of the valley one after the other, the former was on the run, anxious like a lost dog, and the latter was chasing, with a fierce sword and a bloody oath not to return.

As they went, so did the fighting.

Without Ainan's orders, Sloane and Marcus immediately led their men to rush in. What greeted everyone was the devastation of the aftermath of the war – the wails of the wounded, the weepings of the bereaved and the bereaved masses of civilians. These people are full of numbness and confusion in their eyes, they have no hope for the future, and they live day by day, so they are insensitive, and they don't know where to go, which makes them at a loss.

Seeing a group of soldiers carrying swords and wearing armor enter the valley, some of them shrank back, and more stood in place, waiting for others to pronounce their fate.

The situation in the valley made Ainan frown, these people don't look at the sound limbs and strong bodies, in fact, they have long lost their souls, they have no self, like the walking dead, they live just to live, and have no other purpose, let alone the pursuit of ideals.

How sound the limbs are, how strong and healthy are the body, these people are just living for the sake of living, only obeying other people's orders to do things, and they are not as good as those who have been brought together.

Despite shaking his head secretly, Ainan did not delay for half a minute, and Sloan and Marcus led the men to quickly gather the lightly wounded and the uninjured, and the soldiers were about to leave with them.

The remaining civilians and craftsmen in the entire valley can take away five or six thousand people, and Ainan's side plus himself is less than five hundred, as long as the former wants to run Ainan, they can't stop them, but the reality is that these people are very obedient, they can do whatever you let them do, and thousands of people are easily packed and pulled away by hundreds of people.

Just as Ainan was about to leave, he suddenly found that the battle in the valley was not over, and a cavalry brigade in Torbain was storming a corner of the valley, and he seemed to have made a great discovery by the excited and almost distorted face of the knight leading the team.

Originally, Ainan didn't have the heart to care about this, the purpose of his coming here has been achieved, and it is best to leave while he is not discovered. It's just that after seeing a familiar villain, Ainan had to take care of it.

How did Patsonia end up here?

Ainan clearly remembered that she didn't take Pasonia with her when she left, this little girl definitely didn't have the ability to come here, the problem was that she just showed up.

Did something happen after you left?

Don't bring someone to rob while the fire is burning, and your lair is taken advantage of by others, then you want to cry without tears.

In order to dispel the doubts in his heart, Ainan didn't care about being exposed or not, he pointed to the sky, and a large ice pick fell on the head of the cavalry.

Fist-sized ice picks fell from a height of tens of meters, and the kinetic energy converted from potential energy alone could smash people to the bone, not to mention that there was ice magic attached to it.

As soon as the ice pick fell on the cavalry's heads, it would not only smash their armor into a pit, injuring the cavalry inside, and breaking their bones, but also bursting out clouds of ice mist, and the biting cold made the cavalry stiffen and fall from their horses.

How much can a cavalry that has lost its mount do?

How could Sloanan and Marcus stand idly by while letting the soldiers escort the thousands of craftsmen and farmers back the way they came, and at the same time they rushed towards Ainan, blocking Ainan.

The captain of the cavalry brigade was furious, and Ainan lost dozens of his men with a single magic, but after seeing the five hundred soldiers, he didn't dare to act rashly: "There is an enemy behind, form a formation!" ”

At this time, don't forget to continue the attack, what is hidden in that corner?

Ainan once again performed the icicle technique, which once again brought a lot of losses to the cavalry brigade, provoking the captain to thunder.

When the people in the corner saw the reinforcements coming from outside, they were immediately in high spirits, and some people even shouted, "Is that you, Master Ainan?" ”

The owner of the voice, Ainan, knew none other than the knight, Baron Madis. It's just that the current female knight is not wearing battle armor and rushing to the front line, but is at the back of the team under the protection of several slaves, and if you look closely, you will find that Madis's belly is slightly bulging.

It's no wonder.

Ainan found out the reason, he didn't ask who the child's father was, that question had nothing to do with him, he didn't bother to explore the privacy of others.

While Ainan was pulling away the energy of the cavalry captain, an old man beside Madis suddenly made a move, and the ground in front of them suddenly turned red, and a ball of flames rushed out of the ground, burning the thirty or so cavalrymen to charcoal.

"Quick!"

The old man waved his hand, and several servants escorted Matis out of the encirclement, and did not stop until he was beside Ainan, and Pasonia, whom Ainan cared about, was held in the hand of the old man. When the distance between the two sides was closer, Ainan realized that the reason why the old man was carrying Posonia was because the latter was tied up.

Seeing Ainan, Parsonia's mouth was deflated, and her tears were full of grievances.

"What's going on?" Ainan glared at the old man and scolded sharply, "Let her go!" ”

The old man was not frightened by Ainan's fierce voice, he put down Patsonia and let the little girl run to Ainand's side.

"Young man, I know your doubts, if you want to know I will say it, but those cavalry ......"

Speaking of those cavalrymen, the cavalry captain was so anxious that his eyes were red after discovering that Matis and the old man had rushed out of the encirclement: "Catch them, catch the old man, he is the Count of Neras." ”

"Yes, I am Neras, the Imperial Court Mage, and the caretaker of the Royal Library." Count Nellas spread his hands, and how did Ainan think this old man was an old scoundrel, "I'm so sorry, I think I've caused you trouble." ”

, I can't see the slightest apology on your face.

Ainan hated itchy, but the magic did not stop, and the ice pick, ice arrow, and ice mist were released one after another, and soon a layer of ice was created between the cavalry and them. Riding a horse on the slippery ice was tantamount to suicide, and the cavalry had to abandon the idea of charging.

The cavalry that had lost their speed had lost more than seventy percent of their combat power, and before they could go around to the other side, another spell from Count Neras took shape. Under the raging flames, the cavalry brigade was again reduced by more than 30 people.

A cavalry brigade numbered more than a thousand, and the casualties were not enough to stop them.

"You take Matis and go, and I'll stop the usurper's lackeys." Neras coughed violently, a strange flush on his cheeks, "Despicable Torbain, if he hadn't found someone to plot against me, a small cavalry corps would have been burned to ashes with a wave of his hand." ”

Ainan didn't listen to the old man's words, and after loosening the rope from Pasonia's body, he said, "I need an explanation. ”

Seeing that the cavalry team was about to bypass the ice, Neras was really anxious: "Explain a fart, do you really think that the stunned young man of Tass can recruit tens of thousands of homeless people?" Do you really think that Jazz can do whatever he wants without certain people? I'm old, but I'm not confused. Let me tell you, I've noticed you ever since you skillfully defeated the gnolls in the Sadol River, and many of those outcasts are my people. ”

Ainan was shocked, and shouted in his heart: "You mean that your people took advantage of me to take people away and control there?" ”

Neras smiled proudly: "You kid is so careful and still wants to calculate people, if it weren't for my old man being seriously injured, I would have burned you to ashes with a wave of my hand." ”

Neras was right, he was too tender, and even if Sir left, he would not take all the people who were loyal to him with him, and wouldn't there be any consequences of driving out the civilians among those who remained?

I've been doing it for a long time, I'm marrying someone else!

Ainan could hear his teeth clucking, he sincerely believed that he was negligent, why didn't he think about it carefully, how could Tarth have no fame and no status, how could he let tens of thousands of homeless people follow him into the wetland swamp full of dangers, and no one could secretly exert his strength?

"As much as I hate to admit it, I have to say, you won."

"Win a fart." Neras sighed dejectedly, "Sir was attacked and killed by Thorbain's men, and I am not long dead, others are loyal but can't, and the descendants of Soladin the Great can only rely on you." ”

Sir is dead!

Ainan remembered the news he had received earlier, when the scout said that someone in the returning team was injured, and he took it for granted that it was the squire and the like, but he never expected it to be Sir himself.

Oh, no!

Ainan suddenly thought of a possibility, and he pointed to Madis's stomach and asked Count Nellas, "Wouldn't this child's father be Sizz?" ”
