"The story begins with the day the Desiks besieged the city of Manning. Green's voice came slowly, and the whole person seemed to be a few points old when Bixter saw him before. Fayda had rushed back and sat with Kerter to listen to Green's account of the past few days.

The defense of Manning City lasted a total of 23 days, in fact, Manning City was broken from the first moment of the Desik's attack, but the Mannings survived 23 days with blood and flesh.

The war began at the port of the Morro River, southeast of Manning City. Because Manning City is actually a megacity located near the Morro River, with a port dock on the Morro River that can accommodate more than a hundred sailing ships at the same time.

The vicious Desiks sent their warships up the river to sink the last of the evacuated merchant ships and surround and occupy the port of Manning. On that day, the sunken merchant sailing ship almost blocked the Morro River docks, and even the Desik's own warships took a lot of effort to land.

Before that, a large number of Desik troops had already surrounded the front and back of Manning City, and not a single bird could fly out. After losing the Morro waterway, the last means of evacuation, the Mannings of the city knew that there was no way back.

The Desik's approach only brought the Mannings closer together, and the Manning King and the chief elder of the Adventurers' Guild sent all experienced warriors to the various corners of Manning City.

These warriors were basically the most loyal warriors of King Manning, or the veteran hunters of the Adventurers' Guild, and their purpose was to avenge the sacrifices of their comrades in the Gorge, Verdun and Sedan. Every preparation they made was for the sake of killing and injuring more Desiks.

In order to motivate the warriors, King Manning brought out all the treasures of the palace and gave them to the warriors who defended the city, but the warriors looked at the gold coins and treasures with contemptuous eyes, and then turned and went into the streets and alleys again.

Yes, the Mannings built walls more than one person high in every street in the city, and the material was to directly demolish the nearby houses. The owners of the house did not hesitate, they knew that everyone would die when the Desik came, and at that time, this bit of brick and wood would be nothing.

The battle started from the periphery, and in order to reduce the losses, the Desiks actually arranged for a magician to cast a terrifying magic outside Manning City, and the blood-red magic turned the few soldiers on the city wall into selected meat, and easily broke through Manning City. (Note 1)

However, the Desik soldiers who entered the city were surprised to find that there were still countless ramparts in front of them, as well as longbows, crossbow arrows, javelins, and even stones sticking out from behind the ramparts. Countless red-eyed Mannings scolded, spitting at the Desik while throwing whatever weapon in their hands at the Desik soldiers.

At this time, in the Tower of Babel in the center of Manning City, the Adventurer's Guild was quiet. The members of the Pathways have long since flown away, and the determined adventurers have left the Tower of Babel for the streets of Manning City, where they will join tens of thousands of Manning civilians to resist the Desik's attack.

However, in an office on the upper floor of the Tower of Babel, there was a man who was drunkenly swaying around with a wine bottle, groping around the wall, swearing as he went, "Where have all these guys gone? Why is it so dark here? Why is it so noisy outside?"

The drunken man is Grimm, the leader of the Adventurers' Guild Hunters, who has been like this since the outbreak of the war. It's just that the war factor has caused the work of the entire Adventurer's Guild to come to a standstill, and Green is a high-ranking power, so naturally no one is looking for trouble with him. Not long ago, his friend, Lord Koster of Carman, had come and seen Grimm like this.

And now, Green has intensified, and there is not a moment of sobriety in a day.

I finally groped my way through the dark passageway, and then shivered down the floating ladder to the first floor, but I was surprised to see that there was still a light on in a small room next to the gate of the Tower of Babel.

That room is the duty room of the Adventurer's Guild, where the Guild's hunters are on duty all year round, responsible for receiving important information. Because not all messages are sent through Flamingos, this is a place where the Adventurer's Guild has always been inseparable.

Therefore, seeing this scene, the drunken Green was actually a little shocked: "Why is there still someone?"

Slowly getting closer, through the window, Green saw a handsome young face.

But in his early twenties, he has a faint beard on his lips. He has curly blond hair and two big eyes that seem to be able to speak. At this moment, he was staring boredly at the outside of the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters, which is the Tower of Babel.

If it weren't for the earth-shattering shouts of killing in the city outside the tower, this young man would have looked no different from those young hunters in the previous peaceful days.

"Who are you?" asked Green, who could not help but ask.

As if he was startled by Green, the young man hurriedly stood up, pulled out his **, the black **, and aimed it at Green's face exactly as it was.

Although he was drunk and couldn't wake up, his perennial adventure career still made Green react quickly to raise the "weapon" in his hand, blocking the vital points in his face and waiting for the opportunity to fight back. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction from the other side, but when he heard a "poof", the other party couldn't help laughing.

Green looked up and realized that the "weapon" in his hand was not the familiar big sword, but the wine bottle that had been with him all these days. "Captain Green, the new hunter Arnold reports to you!" the other party put away his ** and saluted Green, and Green noticed the other party's beautiful and delicate face.

"You're new here?" Green also put down the bottle in his hand and looked at the other person carefully. "Yes, I just passed the apprenticeship exam (Note 2) a month ago and became a new batch of hunters in the Adventurers' Guild. ”

"Oh, new hunter, how I don't know. Green asked rhetorically.

"That ......" Arnold scratched his head, "It's the assessment organized by the deputy head of the group, and what he told me is that the head of the group has other important tasks to deal with...... " Arnold's words were not finished, but his eyes were aimed at the wine bottle that Green had just put down in his hand, obviously he also realized that what the deputy head said was not particularly reliable, but in front of the head of the group, he didn't know what to say.

Thus, the leader of the Hunter Corps, Green, and the new hunter Arnold met. Maybe it was enough to drink, or maybe it was the damp Arnold who made Green embarrassed to continue sinking, so from that day on, Green restrained a lot and didn't drink anymore. Of course, he didn't have time to do that.

and Arnold ascended to the top floor of the Tower of Babel, which was originally home to birdkeepers and flamingos. The Chief Elder persuaded the Bird Keeper to evacuate south with the other elders of the Adventurers' Guild with the other elders of the Adventurers' Guild, and Manning City, which had become a lonely city after being surrounded, no longer needed the Flamingos. Standing near a messy bird cage, Green looked up into the distance, and all around Manning City, flames were burning everywhere, and black smoke enveloped the entire city.

It was the defenders of the alley barricades, burning the flames to organize the attack of the Desik army. The battle for the defense of the city of Manning, I heard that it was commanded by the king himself, demanded only one, not to give up every house.

Shouts of killing, screams, fireworks, blood, Green felt that the whole world was reflected in his blood-red eyes. Arnold, the cynical boy, looked into the distance with a smile, not knowing if he was afraid or didn't understand.

"Your name is Arnold, isn't it?" asked Green, without looking back.

"Yes, Captain, my name is Arnold and I am 21 years old. I'm from San Jose, and I've just become a hunter in the Adventurers' Guild......" Arnold replied busily.

"Stop, no need to say anything!" Green stretched out his hand to stop the other man's words, "I'll just ask you, accompany me to kill the Desik, dare?"

"Hehe", Arnold didn't reply, but pulled out his **, holding a crossbow in one hand and a sword in the other, "Commander, let's just say which direction to go!"

For the next twenty days, Green and Arnold ran through every inch of the streets of Manning, watching waves of defenders and civilians fall in the streets, and cutting down one murderous Desik soldier after another. In just a few days, Green, the leader of the hunter group of the Adventurers' Guild, has established a deep friendship with the little hunter Arnold.

The two fought side by side, guarding each other's hearts, and only kept a sword distance between the two of them. However, the Desik army was too strong, and the two of them retreated from the north to the south of the city with the defenders and civilians step by step. In front of them were thousands of Deciks armed to the teeth, and behind them were the mighty Morero River, and not far away, the flames of the Manning Palace were blazing.

"Boy, are you afraid of death?" Grimm suddenly lowered his weapon and smiled back at Arnold.

"Of course not, Commander. If we were to die, we would have died a long time ago. ”

"Then what are you talking about, let's go!" Green lifted his greatsword without looking back......

This was the end of Green's story, and Kerst was a little shocked, "Then how did you survive?" Green shook his head and smiled, "Don't ask me, I don't know, ask him." After speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed to Arnold, who was smiling beside him.

Everyone, all turned their heads to look at the big sunny boy, he scratched his head embarrassedly, "We were finally squeezed down the Morro River by the Deciks, that, that ......"

"Well, what's embarrassing!" Green patted Arnold on the head and motioned to continue.

"Well, I grew up on the Morro River, and I can swim three miles in the river without panting in one breath. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that it was no wonder that Green and him survived, it turned out to be Arnold's credit. "What's so embarrassing," Green said again, "isn't it just that you're good at water and escaped with me, so it's okay, we can kill a few more Desiks." So Koster, aren't we going to come to the door!"

Kester scratched his head a little, not knowing what to do.

Note 1: The Mannings had long since decided to fight in the streets of the city, so there were not many defenders on the walls, and most of them were able to escape the magical attack.

Note 2: The apprenticeship exam is the tradition of the Adventurer's Guild Hunter Regiment, and only by passing the apprenticeship exam can you become a real hunter, and before that, you can only be a trainee hunter. The difference between the two is that trainee hunters cannot perform tasks independently and must be supervised by a formal hunter, while regular hunters do not have this problem.
