Chapter Seventy-Nine: Winter VII.
PS: Thank you book friends: Xuantian Zonglei, another 100 reward ~~~
Three days later, on the central square of the city of Barr.
The female city lord who didn't stop until she reached her goal, after her eyes rolled around in the thief at that time, she came up with a compromise solution.
That is, Ye Qi was directly arranged under the command of Sir Bauer on the surface, and in fact, it was often in the hands of the city lord's garrison.
Although he had already taken over the position of squadron leader of the third squadron of the garrison, Ye Qi, who was still wearing the night watchman's black armor and black cloak, was waiting on the steps of the adventure union on the side of the square, standing there as if he was a little unmotivated.
If it weren't for the order of the female city lord, the newcomers who had gathered to attack the garrison outside the city before would have all been present to watch the beheading process of Rong Hongyi and his party, so that Ye Qi, who was worried that Old Man Rong, who had met his grandson under his own arrangement two days ago, would arrange something among the newcomers, obviously would not participate in this bloody and boring execution scene.
And with Rong Hongyi and the others, who were tied up by strong ropes, under the escort of a pair of soldiers, they struggled to be pressed onto Xingtai, stood behind them, and specially selected the soldiers, who were obviously very experienced in executions, and kicked heavily in the popliteal socket behind their knees, and Rong Hongyi and others, who felt numb in their legs, knelt down on Xingtai.
In the next moment, the executioners who were obviously waiting for this moment on the side raised the decapitation heavy sword in their hands high and swung it down suddenly!
Unlike the aborigines who had more or less seen this kind of beheading scene in the past, the newcomers who were also in the midst of onlookers all looked away, or in this bloody scene, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The danger and cruelty of Aya's world are once again displayed in front of people's eyes.
However, at this time, the flow of people on the side of the central square, where a large number of onlookers watched the execution scene, inexplicably gave way to a passage at this time.
A remnant soldier with a feathered arrow nailed to his shoulder and leather armor with sword marks on his body rode his horse through the passage that was made way for him.
Rushing to the front of the grandstand specially set up for the nobles in the city opposite Xingtai, he turned over and dismounted without any effect, and after a slight breath, he reported to the female city lord who had already stood up in the stand: "Lord Simpson, Horseshoe Town has been attacked by ghouls!" β
Not to mention the next movement of Ophelia, who was furrowed with embroidered eyebrows, and a group of nobles whose faces turned pale at this time.
In the distance, it was obvious that Ye Qi, who was listening to the words of this soldier who should have broken through at the risk of death, was Chen Dayuan, Wang Anyi and others who were standing in the newcomer crowd in the distance, and after glancing at each other, he muttered inexplicably: "It's finally here, isn't it?" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, Horseshoe Town, which is on fire and filled with the screams of despair before dying.
At first, the special soldiers of the Third Guard of the pioneer base came to fight the autumn wind with the welfare of each adventer, but in the past few days, under the rich harvest, they have ignored the increasing number of ghouls breaking out of the hard frozen soil!
When the eyes in front of me were filled with an army of ghouls that seemed to have evolved into a black wave, surging towards them, they realized that something was wrong, but they were surviving in the wilderness and had no danger to defend, and at that time they paid the price for their greed.
However, after paying the price of seven special soldiers, they were supposed to be completely "drowned" by the army of ghouls, but on the way to Horseshoe Town after fighting, they were lucky to encounter an adventuring group of four powerful warriors and a spellcaster.
Under the cover of this powerful adventure group, although Qian Yongxing and others picked up a life, they successfully retreated to Horseshoe Town.
However, standing on top of the waist-thick walls of Horseshoe Town, looking at the rusty swords under the wall, tirelessly slashing at the outer layer of the log wall, are the ghouls.
As the field of vision extended into the distance, Qian Yongxing and others, who saw that as if the entire world was full of ghouls' chilly blue pupils, they couldn't help but realize that they had just picked up a small life, but in fact, this small life was only temporary!
Beneath the wall, these tireless ghouls will eventually break through this seemingly sturdy but essentially wooden wall.
They will die under the swords of these vast ghouls in front of them, and under the erosion of the will of winter, they will eventually become one of them!
As if in front of his eyes, he foreshadowed a few years later, his decomposed corpse was on the ground in the wind and snow, with a hint of blue in his eyes, and he picked up a sword full of rust.
For a while, Qian Yongxing, who couldn't help but feel a shudder, shook his head violently, and threw the above picture out of his own heart that was already unconscious, as if full of fear.
And it was when Qian Yongxing came back to his senses that he suddenly felt a warmth on the left side of his body, and he shifted his gaze to the mysterious spellcaster who was wearing a mage robe, his entire face was covered by a hood behind his back, and on his shoulder was a palm-sized female light goblin.
βδΡ΢β
Under this absolutely unusually tongue-twisting, but also majestic, spell spell, the mysterious caster's white and raised right hand was formed into a volleyball-sized ball of light and heat that was emitting light and heat around the surrounding world.
[Since it is a three-ring spell of plastic energy: fireball technique!] She's an official spellcaster? But how could a formal spellcaster choose to stay in an adventuring party......]
Qian Yongxing, who had seen Wang Anyi in battle before, had cast this kind of spell once, and guessed more in his heart.
The mysterious female spellcaster standing not far from Qian Yongxing had already waved her right hand at the ghouls under the wall.
In the next moment, this blazing fireball, with a long tail flame, slammed into the group of ghouls, making a loud noise similar to that of a bomb exploding.
The scattered flames devoured all living beings within a diameter of more than ten meters from the center of the explosion, and the air currents generated during the violent explosion also swung the hood on the head of this mysterious female spellcaster, revealing more or less that beautiful and extraordinary face under Qian Yongxing's gaze.
That's right, this team that saved the lives of Qian Yongxing and others on the outskirts of Horseshoe Town is naturally the Starlight Adventure Group that maintained a good level of relationship with Ye Qi after the rescue operation launched by Princess Byron and his party.
However, in Sophia, he released two more killing effects, almost comparable to the three-ring spell of a heavy aerial bomb: the fireball technique, and his own magic power was rapidly consumed.
During the period, he stood on this wall with the noble private soldiers of the Srdan family and the militia of Horseshoe Town, using bows and arrows, hitting the heads of the ghouls under the wall again and again, and shooting thirteen ghouls in a row. When the militiamen, who had obviously not undergone any formal training on weekdays, could only rely on the situation completely in the dark, he couldn't help but be deeply worried about this, so he whispered to the three companions around him: "Wait a minute, if the situation is not right, we will retreat like the castle of the Srdan family in the town." β
Half a sound, apparently the people standing on this part of the wall are all struggling to kill the ghouls under the wall.
However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Starlight Adventure Group and the others, who felt that the wall under their feet were shaking, instinctively focused their eyes on Sean's body at this time.
Sean, who understood that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, nodded without leaving a trace, and deliberately came to Qian Yongxing, who was shooting Qian Yongxing under the wall with a longbow and arrows in his hand, and had already learned from the previous brief conversation that the former knew Ye Qi, and he touched the former's back through his armored elbow.
And with the evacuation of the Starlight Adventure Group, Qian Yongxing and others, this section of the wall west of Horseshoe Town was finally only more than the three sections of the wall in the other three directions, and after less than half an hour longer, it was breached by the seemingly inexhaustible ghouls.
However, with the flow of people in Horseshoe Town towards the castle of the Seldan family in the center of the town.
Qian Yongxing and the others, who came to the stone bridge of the moat of the castle, had to stop their march like everyone around them under the arrows of the noble private soldiers on the castle under the cold light of the arrows, and the bloody scene of a large number of arrows on the bridge in front of them, and the corpses of civilians who fell in a pool of blood.
