With a creaking sound, in the thick snow, Ye Qi, who was walking in the thick snow, came to the stable, and took out the horse and the horse in the stable, all the horses and livestock, there were the old people who were not suitable for fighting because they were too old, or the women and children who were powerless to take care of the Cross war horse.

In order to make the mount cooperate with its own actions and follow its own commands during the battle. With the two apples he brought from the uncle on duty tonight, on the way to the north gate of the pioneer base, after personally feeding the two apples to the Cross war horse, Ye Qi turned over the horse.

And only from the previous black, it seems to be a Kroes war horse called Xiao Hei that he picked up at will, three months ago, after being dragged into the shadow plane by the shadow servants in the disaster of the Shadow Demon's transit, Ye Qi has never named the mount he will ride next.

After all, he didn't know that the Kross horse, which had the same black fur as Xiao Hei, would one day die on the road he was about to travel.

And human emotions are so fragile at some point.

A few of the twelve soldiers of the Second Guard on night duty who were guarding the perimeter of this pioneer base tonight, although it was simple, were all made of thigh-thick logs, and the fence was more than three meters above the ground, and after noticing them, they said hello.

Ye Qi took advantage of the bright moon hanging high above his head, and at this time the field was full of snow-white snow, and rode his horse towards the city of Bal in the north.

A quarter of an hour later, as Ye Qi took advantage of the bright moonlight tonight to look at the shadow silhouette of the towering city wall on the outskirts of Baal City in the distance.

That is, in the next moment, he found that there was a team of hundreds of people on the same snow-covered road in front of him, and he was heading towards Baal City, and he sat down on the belly of both sides of Cross's war horse with his legs between his legs, and chased after him.

With the proximity of the distance between the two sides, I finally saw clearly the team in front of me from a distance, I don't know if it was a ghoul or a human team, but it was actually a team of hundreds of people trembling in the cold wind at night, dragging their families with their mouths, as if they were in the middle of fleeing, just to avoid causing misunderstanding (panic) from the other party, he gently pulled the reins in his hand and slowed down the horse's speed.

After half a ring, the distance approached again.

Finding that there was a knight on a war horse in the distance, the civilians who caught up from behind themselves and others couldn't help but look at the team in some panic, even in this biting cold wind, they were still wearing a set of thin clothes and holding an ordinary iron sword on the middle-aged man.

Matthew Noyce, not to mention the Duchy of Kashya, is an unusually common name even among the entire Terran nations.

For the time being, as the leader of the fleeing team at this time, he is already in his forties, and his life experience is also ordinary.

Born into a family of blacksmiths, Noyce joined the Fourth Legion, which was stationed on the border between the Principality of Kasha and the Orc Steppes, at the age of 16, taking advantage of the strong physique he had cultivated by helping his father to make irons since he was a child.

After experiencing dozens of friction battles with various tribes in the orc steppe in the past twenty-five years, he finally injured his right lung in a skirmish with the fox tribe, and could no longer fight for a long time.

However, in the village where he was born and raised three days ago, under the revival of the ghouls in this cold winter, the veteran Noyce once again picked up the long sword.

And Noyce, who appeared behind him and others at this time, because of the distance, could not see the knight in the dress clearly, and was secretly vigilant in his heart, but with a squeak, the sound of the horse's hooves stepping in the snow, when he saw the night watchman's outfit on this knight, it was a "whew", and like the other civilians around, he was sincerely relieved.

Ignoring the cold sweat that flowed out from the back, and the biting cold that blew down under the cold wind, Noyce, who lowered the tip of the iron sword in his hand, took a few steps forward, and pulled the reins in his hand closer to the front of him, stopped the vigil of the footsteps of the war horse, and slapped his right chest with a fist with his left hand, and performed a unique military salute among the border legions of the Principality of Kasha.

At the same time, because he still has nothing to do, he will run to the Black Rock Fort Library and bury himself in the sea of books.

Therefore, it was Ye Qi who immediately recognized the middle-aged man with a sword in front of him, and what he did was Ye Qi, who was a kind of military salute of the border legion of the Principality of Kasha, and only after cutting the former slightly did he introduce himself: "I am a ranger from Black Rock Castle, Ye Qi." ”

"Fourth Legion, Third Battalion Retired Soldier, Matthew Noyce."

Noyce, who also introduced himself this time, turned sideways in the direction behind Ye Qi, and after looking at it, he asked, "It's great to see you at this time." Your other night watch brothers, all behind? ”

Faced with such a question as the veteran in front of him, he realized that he should have fought with his Night Watch brothers in other places, so he knew that the rangers among the Night Watch often appeared alone in the field, and they were all acting in groups, Ye Qi replied: "We just participated in the sweep of the ghouls in Horseshoe Town before, and they all rested in Black Rock Fort, this time I came out alone to do errands." ”

At the same time, even if he didn't ask, he probably knew that these people in front of him must have been attacked by ghouls and fled here, so Ye Qi then asked, "Do you want me to go to Baal City with you?"

Although, I felt a little puzzled in my heart about the abnormal behavior of the young man in front of me who went out alone and was dressed as a night watchman.

However, in the face of this kind inquiry, Noyce, who was naturally unable to ask for it, put aside the doubts in his heart and thanked him: "Thank you." ”

So, with this team of refugees from a village called Yier Village in the south, and after walking for more than half an hour on this road that was almost completely covered by snow, Ye Qi, who came to the release station in the south of Bar City, asked the two soldiers of the garrison stationed in the release station to prepare cooked food and ginger soup with the high level of his identity in Bal City.

Therefore, Ye Qi, who paid 20 silver Mouton for this, was watching the miscellaneous servants in this station, under the command of the two soldiers of the garrison, add iron pots and light the bonfire, and when he did the little things he could to help them, that is, after waving goodbye to the refugees who thanked him again and again, he turned over his horse again and galloped towards the city of Bal in front of him.

In fact, no matter where they are, what these ordinary people who are simple in nature want is nothing more than a sheltered home and a job to support their families.
