Chapter 10: Piot

Banis' defenses soon became in tatters, and more and more Jackal soldiers stormed the town, and the fighting became fiercer.

The city gates were the main target of the attack, and the fighting there was particularly fierce, with heavy casualties among the soldiers, and the sound of the pounding on the gates never stopped, and the dull loud noise seemed to have an extraordinary penetrating power, as if it were striking the hearts of the people.

After holding out for half an hour, the iron-plated gate finally broke apart under the violent impact, and a large number of jackal soldiers poured in like a tide.

Losing numerical superiority, ordinary soldiers are quickly routed, and once dispersed, it leads to an even more complete collapse.

Barnice has largely lost the power to resist, and the chaos spreads throughout the town, and the Jackals begin their spree, burning and looting as much as they want in the town.

"What to do? Piot! What now? ”

A panicked woman kept walking around Piot's eyes, a deliberately low, frightened voice that made him even more nervous in the darkness.

Although all the lights were extinguished, Piot knew that the villagers must be watching him now, waiting for him to come up with an idea, just like before, the villagers were used to coming to him when they encountered something important.

Piot's mind was in a mess, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't calm himself down, he was just as frightened and confused as they were.

This is simply not a situation that a farmer can handle.

Barnes was already in a sea of fire, the first to be slaughtered and looted in the commercial districts of the center of town and the places where the rich lived, the screams of terror and the terrible wails could be heard even from a distance, many houses were set on fire, and the night sky of Barnes was reddened by a raging fire.

They were housed in an abandoned wine factory, which was remote and safe for the time being, but only temporarily.

"Get out of here! To stay here is to die! A young man said anxiously.

Immediately, someone retorted: "There are all jackals outside, and now if you go out, you are looking for death!" ”

Waiting for death and looking for death, Piot really has no way to make a better choice from it, he hopes to have a third way out, but he can't think of anything.

While the villagers were suffering in fear and helplessness, the appearance of a small group of jackal soldiers pushed them directly into the abyss of despair.

The Jackals were lured by a group of fleeing soldiers, who were apparently frightened and fled into the darkness in a panic, hoping to escape through the darkness, forgetting that the Gnolls are a race with night vision.

The soldiers ran towards the abandoned brewery, and the villagers hiding inside were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, but several children were frightened and wept by the vicious appearance of the jackals.

Piot's scalp tingled, and he could only pray in his heart that the voice was not heard by the gnolls, and at the same time hoped that the soldiers would kill the gnolls, after all, they were twice as numerous as the enemy.

Unfortunately, the fleeing soldiers lost their fighting spirit completely, and not one of them dared to turn back and resist, cowardly and foolishly leaving their backs to the enemy, only to be caught up one by one, and easily killed at the door of the abandoned workshop.

After killing all the soldiers, the gnolls bared their fangs and let out a celebratory roar, and then began to rummage through the corpses of the soldiers, carrying valuable things into their arms, and two of the gnolls fought over a silver ring, but were dissuaded by the other gnolls.

Piot was disappointed, if these beast-like creatures could kill each other and die outside.

After dividing the spoils, the gnoll looked at the dilapidated brewery in front of him, didn't know what he had discussed, and then turned away with a sly smile.

Although he didn't understand why the gnolls would let them go, Piot still breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his vest was cold, but his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and the villagers hiding inside were also like walking before the ghost gate closed, and many of them were paralyzed to the ground in fright.

Just as they were secretly glad they had escaped, the gnals ran back, this time with at least two or three torches in their hands, and Piot immediately understood what the gnolls were up to.

The grease-dripping torches were thrown far away, and the abandoned brewery, which had been old for several years, had mostly begun to decay, and once it was burned, the fire spread very quickly, and the workshop erupted in cries of terror.

"Kill!"

"Damn brute!"

Several furious militiamen suddenly rushed out of a small alley, glaring at the gnoll with red eyes, and the leader was the squad leader Rekan.

After being scattered, they went back to look for their families, but all they saw were the bodies of their loved ones and the burning houses.

These militiamen are now fearless, and their only thought is revenge, even if they die, to pull these invaders who destroyed their homeland.

The gnolls looked mocking, waiting for the brewery to grow in flames while casually teasing the militia.

"Rush out! Fight with them! ”

With a sudden roar, Piot slammed open the broken door and rushed out of the smoky abandoned workshop.

The air outside was also scorching, with choking black smoke and a strong smell of blood, but the deep night sky could be seen.

Instead of being burned to death in that dark and dilapidated place like a mouse, it is better to fight hard and die happily under the stars.

"Uncle Piot!"

Someone was calling for him in the distance, and he picked up a sword and stood up, and saw a group of adventurers running towards him, and the one calling him was the young man who rushed to the front, the young man named Kelmorn.

"I'll join the mercenary group."

"This place will be captured, and I'll find a way to take you out with me then."

Piot suddenly remembered what the boy had said when they parted the day before yesterday, when they were standing on the steps outside the temple of Yin Haisa, he patted the boy on the shoulder with kindness, and when he said thank you, he didn't think that the childish boy would appear at this time and bring a group of powerful helpers.

The Jackals showed their fierceness and began to kill the militia.

A high-speed rotating wind ball roared and slammed into the jackal's chest, shattering the rudimentary armor and shattering the sternum, and the jackal soldier spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, just struggling to get up, a sharp arrow pierced his heart.

The mage and the archer worked together to kill a jackal soldier from a distance.

Seasoned adventurers have a lot of combat experience and are good at grasping fighters, and Kaizhe and Gogo can play a perfect match even if they are working together for the first time.

Just as Gogo chose to follow Mukai to Gurudin's village, Grizzly Bear chose to go to Gurudin's city, and before the countless forks in the road of life, everyone will make their own choice, as for the future outcome, it can only be left to fate.
