The storm that had been brewing for a long time finally began to unleash its power on the earth, and the dense rain curtain poured down, making the visibility extremely low, and Darius, who was standing on guard on the wall, could not see even a little farther away, and looked out of the fortress, only a white haze.

But fortunately, the lizardmen will not attack in such weather, the heavy rain is fair to both sides, and he even heard several of his subordinates hoping that the rain will be heavier, and it is better to form a flash flood and disrupt the lizardmen's position, anyway, the fortress built on high places will not be affected by the flash flood.

He didn't accuse his subordinates of unrealistic delusions, after all, survival is the instinct of every intelligent life, but he knew very well that this rainstorm was only a slight delay in the lizardman's movements, and after the rain stopped, what should be faced will have to be faced sooner or later.

In the midst of the cacophony of rain, he heard faint footsteps coming slowly, and turned his head to look, and a warrior in a raincoat gradually walked in front of him.

Leather raincoats are also one of the standard equipment for soldiers in the garrison, after all, the mountains of Orstow are a rainy place, and in a world without plastic, only animal fur is the most suitable material for making raincoats in large quantities, and this is also the most indispensable in the mountains.

"Captain, it's time for the changing of the guard, just leave it to me here, you can go back to the sentry fort to rest first."

The warrior's head was wrapped in the hood of his raincoat, and it was impossible to see clearly, but his familiar voice let Darius know that it was Anderson, a mountain warrior.

Darius glanced far beyond the city walls, the mountains had a rare calm in the rainstorm, he looked silently for a while, made sure there was nothing wrong, then patted Anderson on the shoulder, and walked silently towards the sentry fort.

Pushing open the thick wooden door of the sentry fort, the warm heat made his body feel comfortable after being surrounded by the cold wind for a long time, he leaned his weapon against the wall, then untied his soaked raincoat and hung it up.

There were about twenty people resting and eating in the hall of the sentry fort, and the full number of the second detachment was eighty, but now the actual number was only more than sixty people, which was to supplement the situation again, and Demons divided these sixty people into three squads, and took turns to guard them throughout the day to ensure that there were people guarding the city wall at all times.

This is also a way to save everyone's energy, after all, when it comes to the real war, there will be no time for you to rest, so at this time, everyone must try to reserve some physical energy to cope with the later battles.

West and Darius were also on the same shift, but he came back a little earlier than Darius, and when he saw Darius hanging up his raincoat, West, who was sitting at the table, waved at him and greeted him politely.

Darius took off his leather armor with a little water, and his raincoat was not completely protective of the rainstorm, so he had to put the leather armor in front of the fireplace to dry, and then he washed his hands and walked over to West, and by the time Darius sat down, West had already placed food for two on the table.

Brown bread, a little bit of air-dried cured meat, homemade jam and ale, that's what Darius now eats every day.

He unceremoniously picked up the knife, cut off a piece of meat, and then picked up the meat with the tip of the knife and put it in his mouth. Then he saw West raise his glass, so he took the wooden cup next to him, touched it with him, and drank it in a big gulp.

The taste of the wine is not good, and this ale wine, which is processed by a simple process, can be said to be the worst of the worst wines, and it is clearly not made for the purpose of satisfying the appetites of the soldiers. But it also has its advantages, which is that it is not easy to spoil.

Because water is spoiled, even if it is placed in a sealed kettle, it is not suitable for drinking for a long time, but ale does not, and the shelf life of several years makes the garrison make a large amount of ale wine every year as a strategic reserve.

The other is to warm up the body, as soon as the alcohol-laden liquid enters the body, it drives away the abrasive cold, and a trace of sweat stains emerge from Darius's forehead.

Darius, who had developed a habit of eating meat and drinking in large bowls, quickly swept everything on the table with West, and then West consciously began to clean up.

"Do you want to have fun? Chief? ”

After cleaning up the table, West saw Darius staring at the soldiers of the second team who were playing cards next to him, and took the initiative to ask.

Playing cards? Darius shook his head, a long military career was extremely boring, so various card games became the Legionnaires' favorite gadgets to pass the time. However, Darius himself was not very interested in this.

When he was a student, his relatives would play a few rounds of poker or mahjong during the New Year's holidays, but he couldn't afford to learn this.

West looked eager to try, but Darius said he wasn't interested, and he couldn't go there alone to play. Itchy and bored, West pulled out a deck of cards and began to tinker with his own.

Darius couldn't help but laugh: "You can have fun alone?" ”

However, he soon saw that what West had on the table was not the usual type of cards, but special cards with different patterns and patterns.

"What is this?"

West picked up a few and said proudly, "This is Agini's divination card, a prophecy card invented by the great Black Moon Witch Agini, which is very popular among spellcasters, and can even be called a fate card. What do you think? Boss, do you want to try it? ”

Divination? Darius didn't believe much in these gods, and he was about to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he pressed back.

This is a world with gods, even gods can exist, and divination doesn't seem to be a big deal.

"How do you try?" The Darius ghost made the god agree.

"You just have to make a choice. I'll take care of everything. The magic converged on his fingertips, and he took the card in his hand, then thought for a moment, and added: "No, not to me, but to the great destiny." ”

The rectangular cards were suspended in the air under the influence of magic, and then quickly sliced and washed, as if there was an invisible hand in the dark, controlling all this.

"There are twenty-four divination cards in Agini, six to predict chance, six to judge success or failure, six to explain cause and effect, and six to reveal fate. Chief, which one do you want to divination? ”

Darius thought for a moment, "Then fate. “

"Fate? Yes, but I'm not a professional witch, so I can only use the most basic method, which is to prophesy according to the timeline. Boss, stretch out your hand and draw three according to what you feel in your heart, and without looking at the contents, put them back up and in front of you. ”

Darius pulled out three and placed them on the table.

"Very well, Chief, the so-called prophecy by timeline means that these three cards represent your past, present, and future. I'll explain them to you one by one. ”

West's expression slowly became focused, he turned over the first card in front of Darius, and whispered, "Then I'm going to solve the cards, let's start with your past." “
