In the dark, I fumbled, my eyes unable to see anything. In this way, time flew by, and there was a light before my eyes, and a barbarian appeared.

Suddenly, the savage turned his head at me and smiled, that honest and familiar smile, yes, it was Fourteen!

Fourteen was still smiling, but I could clearly feel him getting farther and farther away from me.

"Ah, Fourteen, wait for me, wait for me......" I shouted, but my legs never moved. Seeing Fourteen's smile and figure disappearing, I was powerless!

"Nope! Fourteen! With a shout, I woke up immediately. My eyes slowly opened, and the Chief, Thirteen, and the other brothers were all by my side.

"I ...... Where am I? "It took a few sounds from my dry throat.

First of all, the leader said softly: "Fifteen, you are in the medical room of the base camp, and you were knocked out by the goblins during the defensive battle, so we will send you here." You've passed out for a day and a night, and we're all worried about you! ”

Looking at their concerned eyes, I gradually calmed down, and my head was splitting and my throat was dry, all of which seemed to confirm that I had been knocked unconscious.

Suddenly, I thought of something, and despite the pain in my body, I grabbed the chief's collar and asked in a loud voice: "Fourteen, fourteen!" How is he, he's fine......"

I shocked them with this action, and after a while, the leader looked into my bloodshot eyes and whispered, "Fifteen, I'm sorry, fourteen he was ...... Killed by a goblin with a sword. But don't worry, the goblins have already disposed of him! ”

Hearing the bad news, I almost fainted again, and from the time I woke up, I had a familiar smile in my head, and I still remembered his words: "It is worth it for the village and my brother to be born and die!" ”。

After a long time, I waved my hand and said, "You all go out, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

The chiefs also knew my sadness, and did not want to disturb me, so they all left. Before leaving, the leader said to me: "Fifteen, don't feel too guilty about the death of Fourteen, after all, he fought for the honor of the village!" ”

After they left, I couldn't stop crying, and I kept slapping my face despite my mutilation.

"Fourteen, it's me who hurt you, it's all me! If I could fight with you like a warrior, you wouldn't be ...... They won't give it to you...... Kill! It's all my fault, it's all my fault, even if it's ...... If I could have stood up and stabbed you, this wouldn't have happened......"

Another day and a night, I didn't take half a step out of the infirmary, but kept basking in the grief of losing fourteen. Until dusk, the leader came in with some food, looked at me like this, and couldn't bear to say: "Fifteen, I know you are sad, but the body is the capital of the revolution. Only with a strong body can you give those ugly green-skinned little people a blow of hatred! ”

I was half-lying on the hospital bed, glazed over, not listening to a word, and occasionally a few tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Smack--"

With a slap from the leader, I woke up and looked up at the leader.

The leader looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said angrily: "Look at you like this, if I were fourteen, I really regret saving you and wasting the life of a warrior in vain!" ”

I looked at the leader and said hysterically: "I am to blame for all this, if it were not for me, fourteen ...... Fourteen won't die."

The leader looked at me and said in a deep voice, "Fifteen, I know you're sad. But...... But you can't be immersed in it all the time, or what's the point of your life. Do you want to live up to the fourteen ......"

……

Late at night, with the stars shining against the bright moon, I was still lying on the grass. However, in just a few days, everything has changed. Without fourteen, life seems to have lost some of its fun.

"Huh! This kid is gone, and he leaves me with a problem, it's really not a brother...... "I closed my eyes, locked my tears, and scolded secretly!

I don't know how long it took, "Hey, fifteen." A hearty hello woke me up.

I turned my head to see a chunky boy greeting me with a smile. As a polite measure, I forced a smile and said, "Oh, it's Jiang Hai." ”

Jiang Hai, a little fat man, is the chief miner of the village, known as the "king of miners". The three gold mines in the village are all taken care of by Jiang Hai, and Jiang Hai can be regarded as having extraordinary attainments in mining.

Seeing my strong smile, Jiang Hai walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, which should be an encouragement to me. Jiang Hai still kept smiling and said, "Fifteen, I know you feel guilty about Fourteen, but you can't go on like this forever. ”

"I know that, too, but I ...... I just can't let it go! I said in a deep voice.

Jiang Hai thought for a while and said, "Fifteen, you and fourteen are brothers, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

After receiving the answer, Jiang Hai continued: "Then you are like this, aren't you squandering the friendship between you and Fourteen, is this what you should do as a brother?" ”

I was silent, but I kept thinking about it in my heart. Indeed, as the leader and Jiang Hai said, I am really sorry for the death of Fourteen by doing this, and I must cheer up......

Three days later, in the base camp. The leader summoned the holy water warriors of the whole village, and naturally, I also went.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the leader took a sip of tea and said, "Everyone is here, the purpose of asking everyone to come today is to discuss how our village should develop next." ”

"First of all, let me talk about the defensive battle five days ago. In this defensive battle, the loss of facilities was not serious, but the casualties were large! On the Warriors side of the Holy Water, Fourteen was killed by a goblin attack for protecting Fifteen; Twelve, because ten goblins attacked the base camp, he guarded the base camp with five and six, and died of exhaustion! The rest of the holy water warriors were all wounded, and three were seriously wounded. To make matters worse, the villagers, many of whom fled the camp in fear due to the night raids, were left unprotected. According to statistics, six people died, two are missing, and ten were injured! As he reported the casualties, the chief's voice trembled for a moment.

Hearing these casualty figures, all of which were fresh lives, each of us couldn't help but clench our fists.

The leader calmed down and said solemnly: "It is not difficult to see from this defensive battle that the defense of our village is okay against a dozen goblins, but if there are dozens of them, it will cause large casualties. So, we have to improve the defense of the village, what advice do you have for that? ”

The first is Thirteen's speech: "Chief, I think we should retaliate, the goblins rob us, and we rob them." With the resources we can get from it, we can build more defensive buildings, which is not the same as improving our defensive capabilities. ”

The leader nodded: "That's true! Is there any better way? ”

There was no response for a long time, after all, we barbarians are warriors who can only do brutes.

I looked at everyone and said, "I agree with Thirteen's idea, but we should also make more holy water warriors, so that not only will our defense be improved, but it will also be easier to plunder the goblins!" ”

When the leader listened to my advice, he was half happy and half worried: "The idea is good, but since Mr. Richard is gone, there has been no suitable warrior maker in our village. ”

I thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then we can also go outside the village to recruit troops." ”

The leader looked embarrassed: "But it's not so easy to recruit troops!" ”

I straightened my chest and said proudly, "Even if there is a problem, we will solve it." And everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the first step, the road ahead will not be difficult! ”

After listening to my words, the leader showed an appreciative expression: "Okay, just do as you say." Moreover, when did you kid learn to use idioms? ”

"Hehe~ I'm not going to tell you!" I said jokingly, suddenly after a second thought, "By the way, we can actually plunder the goblins while recruiting troops, both at the same time!" Divide the pawn into two ways, so the efficiency will be faster! ”

"Well, that's fine. and the recruitment will be left to you, and the thirteenth, eleventh, and ten will follow you; The rest of the people followed me and beat the TMD goblins! What do you think? The chief proposed.

"Okay!" Naturally, I readily agreed.

The leader asked, "Fifteen, when are you going to go?" ”

I pretended to be mysterious and said, "In two days, I still need to do some preparations." ”

……

It's another three days, and I'm ready to go. During this period, the leader and they successively captured several small camps of goblins, plundered a lot of resources, and bought a mortar extravagantly, with the leader's three-inch tongue, they forced the store manager to reduce the 8,000 gold coins to 6,000 gold coins!

Bidding farewell to the chief, Thirteen and I embarked on a journey to recruit troops.

In fact, why do you need to travel outside the village to recruit troops? The reason is simple, holy water warriors are very rare, and most of them are from villages; There are almost no lone people, and even if there are, they are all gathered together, forming their own faction, and naturally they will not join other villages. Therefore, if you want to obtain holy water warriors without relying on manufacturing, you can only find them by yourself, which is very difficult!

After a few minutes, we left the confines of the village and entered the almost endless enchanted forest.

On the way, Thirteen came up to me and asked softly, "Fifteen, you have stayed in your tent for the past three days, even eating and going to the toilet in the tent, and you have not allowed anyone to enter." Tell me, what the hell are you doing? ”

I looked at Thirteen and said with a smile, "I've just used these three days to read all the books about holy water warriors no less than twice!" ”

When Thirteen heard this, his jaw was about to fall in shock: "What! All, and I watched it more than twice! Why are you reading these books, I thought you were studying some high-level weapon or high-level martial arts......"

I pretended to be unfathomable, and said like an immortal: "Son, you don't understand my good intentions! ”

Thirteen: "......"

I chuckled and continued, "Since we are going to recruit troops this time, we naturally need to understand the characteristics and habits of each holy water warrior, so that it will be easier to recruit troops. ”

"Oh!" Thirteen heard it in a fog, so he had to nod yes.

Alas, it's really unteachable! Forget it, forget it, keep walking.

As we continued to walk through the Enchanted Forest, a dark shadow passed in front of our eyes.

I immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful, pay attention to the situation around you......"
