The city of Paynes, when the kingdom of Reiner and the kingdom of the orcs were on good terms, the flat terrain of the city of Parnes and the convenient transportation made it a prosperous commercial metropolis, and all of this became a thing of the past under the shroud of the smoke of war. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When the orcs suddenly attack and break through the border defenses laid out by the kingdom of Reiner, this former commercial metropolis becomes a battlefield. Fortunately, the lord of Parnes City was not dazzled by the prosperity of commerce, and he relied on military exploits to climb to this position step by step, knowing very well that the city he managed was located on the border, and security and peace would never favor this place for too long.

So when Joanna followed the group to the city of Parnes, she saw the tall and strong walls, and the city's defense weapons that emitted a cold light and were not decorations. Bands of soldiers dutifully patrolled the city walls, the gates were lined with rejecting horses, and the traces of blood and gunsmoke left around made everyone who saw them know that those who dared to attack the city would never receive any good reward, and death and pain would be the best gift to them.

Stephen took out a piece of military order and showed it to the soldiers guarding the city gate, then beckoned to Joanna behind them and led them into the city.

As soon as she entered the city of Parnes, Joanna's eyes were not the bustling people she had heard of in the mouths of the vendors of Derbyshire, the market was no longer full of vendors desperately trying to attract customers, and the area near the city walls was still the traces of countless wars. The boulders that had been thrown into the city by the orcs were thrown in a messy way, and the puddles of blood on the ground and the collapsed houses told those who passed by that these attacks of the orcs were not useless.

There aren't many civilians left in the city, and even without the dismissal of the city lord, these civilians who live on the border all year round know that war never cares about your identity, and that they are better off staying away from the city if they don't have the idea of contributing to the city's defense.

So except for some people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns where they were born and raised, almost all of them are still walking around the city now, and the civilians who remain in the city are not willing to move around now, after all, in such a tense atmosphere, it is easy to be regarded as spies.

"How many families have you destroyed in the war." Joanna sighed under her breath as she walked past a house where the owner had fled in a hurry and had not closed her door, and saw the clutter through the open door.

Stephen was called out of vacation by his own general, and asked him to run over to recruit Rhodes, who had been raised to the army, apparently because the current situation in the Kingdom of Reiner on the border was not so rosy. So there wasn't much time for Joanna to sigh here, so Stephen led them through the once neat and beautiful but now chaotic streets, to the barracks that had been arranged near the City Lord's Mansion.

And this is also a temporary headquarters of the Fourth Garrison Corps here, as soon as she walked into this barracks, Joanna saw soldiers lined up neatly there, training, this is not to sharpen their guns, but to maintain the heat and activity of the body, after all, no one knows when the orcs on the opposite side will attack.

"Okay boys, take our two little guests to have a good rest, they are already tired compared to the two little guests who are in such a hurry, take care of them, don't let them think that our Fourth Legion is a bunch of rude and rude men."

When he walked to a courtyard where people kept coming in and out, Stephen turned around and clapped his hands at his men to give the order to disband, and then nodded to Rhodes beside him, Rod turned his head slightly and looked at Joanna and motioned for them to follow the cavalry, and then turned around with Stephen and walked into the busy courtyard.

After letting the two soldiers around him take over the war horses left by the two commanders, the captain of the cavalry squad smiled and said to Joanna: "Because I didn't expect two more little guests to come, I may have to wronged the two little guests, come with me, the two of you should be tired as Chief Stephen said, please rest later, and please don't walk around in the barracks at will, after all, it is a war now." ”

Joanna and Raphael naturally had no other opinions, they both nodded obediently, and led the war horse behind them to follow behind the team leader. No matter how you look at it, the two of them are complete newcomers here, and as outsiders, choosing to listen to each other is obviously the best choice, even if there is no indication from Rod's eyes, they will choose to do so.

Although the captain of the knight squad said that he had not arranged it in advance, he might have wronged Joanna and them, but obviously he was polite, because the place where Rod and Joanna were arranged to rest was a small house, and the owner of this house should have been a small businessman.

Thinking that these merchants, who had fled the city at the beginning of the war, would not mind that their houses had been requisitioned by the army, and even if they had any opinions after the war, I am afraid that the city lord would not listen to them.

Joanna, who was finally able to take a comfortable bath, washed the dust on her body that had not been clear because of the long-distance travel in the past few days, and walked to the window comfortably, and stretched out her head to look at the soldiers walking back and forth on the street under the window, and Joanna's good mood disappeared in an instant because of the bath.

Turning his head to look at Zachary who appeared beside him, Joanna raised her head in confusion, "Mr. Zachary, why is there a war between us and the orcs, obviously in the stories I heard when I was a child, there are often orc heroes, everyone is in the good camp, why is there a war between them?" ”

Zachary glanced at Joanna in surprise, after seeing Joanna's immature little face, he didn't think it was strange, the current Joanna is not the one who penetrated the world in the future, and the current Joanna is just a simple child, unable to understand that in the face of the problem of racial survival, there has never been a distinction between evil and good, everyone is for the family and clan behind them.

"Because they want to survive, they want their clansmen behind them, and they want their descendants to live better, instead of powerlessly watching the cubs in their arms die of hunger and cold in the snowstorm of the north wind continent every winter."

"Joanna's war can't distinguish between good and evil, this is not a war with the dark empire of Dias full of madmen in the west, in order to prevent themselves and their descendants from becoming crazy like them, both orcs and humans will join forces to fight together, but when facing the living environment of their own race, there is no good or evil between the sword between orcs and humans, because everyone is in order to let themselves have a better living environment and richer survival resources."

"There has never been a shortage of heroic orcs, in order for the young and old people in their clan to survive, they have no choice but to turn the weapons that should be against evil against their allies, and they are also the enemies of their own race in the war to seize survival resources."

Hearing Zachary's words, Joanna sighed deeply, who should she blame for such a war, the orcs who started the war for the future of their race, or the humans who protected the family of the child behind her. She could only curse in her heart, this damn world.
