On the wall of the fortress, the mongoose was wiping the rails on the ballista cart with lard, and he couldn't help but sigh and feel sorry for his companion when he remembered what happened to Carlo.

In the last battle with the barbarians, although they crushed the menacing enemy, Carlo's hands were also burned by the hot iron ball and withdrew from the battlefield, and the lord also personally went to the door to comfort Carlo, much to the flattery of the commoner.

The mongoose understood that a burn of this magnitude could not be completely healed, and even the flesh was deformed and festered, and even if the granulations regrew later, Carlo's hands would become distorted due to the abnormal bonding of the flesh and skin.

He could no longer hold a weapon.

Fortunately, the lord gave him enough compensation and promised a new job when Carlo recovered from his injuries.

Mongoose couldn't remember clearly, but it seemed that there was some kind of literacy class for Carlo to teach.

Thinking of his companion who had held a sword since he was a child, and the way he could only raise the whip in the future, the mongoose felt a burst of amusement.

Is it a pity? Yes, but more than that, it's still a blessing.

As long as there is war, then casualties are bound to accompany the soldiers, and Carlo is only burned on his hands, and he is much luckier than his comrades who are dead or have severed limbs.

If only there was magic that could heal wounds.

The mongoose patted his head and laughed at himself, "How could such a thing happen?"

However, even the magic of controlling the flames has really appeared around him, will this healing magic also exist?

Forget it, stop your wild speculation, night is coming, it's better to keep your eyes peeled and do your job as a guard.

When the mongoose looked at the horizon as far as his eye could see again, several shaky black dots suddenly appeared, and the direction they were heading was the location of the cabin town!

Yes, barbarians?

The sentry next to him obviously also noticed the anomaly, and looked at the mongoose with an inquiring gaze, did he blow the alarm horn?

"Wait!"

However, the mongoose found that their numbers were too small, and it would be too whimsical for them to attack with just a few barbarians.

"Is it a fugitive criminal, or is it a caravan under attack?" the sentry frowned, looking through the watchtower, where the group was ragged and embarrassed, barely able to advance by relying on each other.

The sentry waved his hand at the mongoose, signaling for the guard to be lifted.

If it were an enemy, these weak guys would not be able to pose a threat to Cabintown.

Just a bunch of refugees.

The black dots gradually enlarged in everyone's sight, and if Fang Cai still guessed, the mongoose at this time could already be completely sure that the target of this group of refugees was the wooden house town where they were located.

As the fleeing approached, the mongoose could already see the faces of each person, the group was a man, a woman, and a child, and judging by the tattered level of clothing on their bodies, they must have been attacked by wild beasts, but to the meerkat's surprise, the only weapon in the group was held in the hand of the boy, who seemed to be the youngest.

"Strange combination. As they approached, the mongoose noticed that the boy was carrying a girl of a similar age on his back, and although he was moving slowly, the boy's pace was steady, and he did not look like he was shaking or losing his strength.

The mongoose and the companion next to him glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, in this kind of environment, the guy who can still divide the strength to carry his companion forward is definitely a natural warrior!

He noticed that the boy's footprints were deep, and it was clear that he had walked a long way, and he was exhausted, but he still refused to stop to rest.

Tough as a wolf.

But the mongoose still raised the musket in his hand, and he couldn't afford to slack off or take it lightly until he figured out the other party's intentions and specific identities.

What if the other party is a scheming guy and pretends to be miserable to deceive his sympathy?

"Stop!" the mongoose cleared his throat and shouted, "This belongs to the Capetian family, the land ruled by Lord Rand, if you don't get an invitation, please leave!"

"If you forcibly break in, I will use force to expel you!"

In the other team, a man in tattered clothes raised his head, glanced behind him with attentive eyes, and when he saw the gate of the wooden house town, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and shouted weakly: "My name is Lightning, from the Dark Council!"

"At the invitation of Lord Snow, I have come to meet Rand Capet!"

"I'm a demon seed!"

After shouting these words, Lightning regretted a little, would it frighten these soldiers to reveal his identity so quickly, although Rand's attitude towards the demon seed was different from that of other nobles, but it was difficult to guarantee that his soldiers would keep the same idea as him, what if his soldiers attacked after hearing his identity?

But Lightning's worries were clearly unnecessary.

Although the mongoose was shocked, it was not to the point of losing his mind, Oak's ability he still remembers vividly, and the scene that is so powerful that it is perverted still makes him unforgettable, and the identity of the group of people below is actually the same demon seed with extraordinary ability?

As the team leader, he knew a little bit about Rand's demon seed recruitment plan, and through this time with Oak, he had long since abandoned the original idea that the demon seed was evil.

"I'll go and inform the lord right away!"

"Please hurry! My companion is wounded and won't last long in this environment. Lightning was so anxious that he leaned on the weak Andy on his side, and on the way to escape, there were very few resources, and they had not eaten for two days.

"I'm sorry I can't let you into the city until your lord gives me an order. The mongoose said, "But I can provide some supplies, but you'll need to prove yourself first." ”

As it should be, Lightning nodded, and held out his right hand forward.

The electric light is fleeting.

The lightning was too weak to emit this level of electric light, but it was enough to prove its identity.

Well, that's enough, Mongoose doesn't believe that a group of demon species will make their way through the treacherous Arctic mountains to the gates of Cabin Town just to trick themselves out of some food and clothing.

"Take some bread and jerky, put some water in a clay pot, and pass it down in a hanging basket. The mongoose thought for a moment, and then commanded, "Go to the storage room and get some wolf skins, this thing is much stronger than a cloth cotton coat." ”

......

"You mean, the demons left the Arctic Mountains and are now outside the gates of the fortress walls?!" Rand's reaction to hearing the news was noticeably stronger than Mongoose had expected.

"That's right, my lord! There were six of them, and they looked like refugees......

"Take me to them at once!" Before the mongoose could finish speaking, Rand interrupted him excitedly.

"This is a treasure that no jewel or silver coin can match!"
