In April 1388 of the Great Calendar and the founding of the Audi Republic of China in April 1013, an earth-shattering news reached Haixi in the right-wing area, and all the descendants of the Silu family were wiped out.

In fact, Ruth had heard the news from the priests of the altar two months earlier, but because the news was too shocking and there were many contradictions in the news that had been transmitted, Ruth, like other ordinary people in Heicy, subconsciously denied the authenticity of the news.

However, in April, even if some people cried and shouted that the news was not true, it was useless, because the news had already been confirmed.

According to the news from the priests, all the important members of the Silu family gathered on an island during the annual meeting, only to be attacked by terrible monsters, and finally disappeared along with the island. After the fall of the Silu family, the position of the Babel Bird King was temporarily vacant, and as for who the new Babel Bird King was, Ruth still did not know.

In fact, for Ruth, who is far away in the western part of the sea, it doesn't matter who is the next King of Babel, what matters is that Ruth is attacked by the Okemi barbarians again.

Two months ago, after noticing the upheaval in the Birdshou area, Malado transferred half of the Hercynian army, saying that it was to be on guard, but it was unclear who the target of the warning was.

With half of the army being transferred, the garrison of Hercynian suddenly emptied, which gave the Okemi barbarians an opportunity. In fact, it had been 2 months since the army had been transferred, and the Okemi barbarians had only begun to encircle Hercy again, which was slow as far as Ruth was concerned.

It was a painful day in April for Ruth, as the black-pressed Okemi poured into Ruth's village, letting out a gruff and inexplicable roar and pounding at their rudimentary gear.

Looking at the Okemi barbarians rushing over, Ruth only had the feeling of being a pit father in his heart, and the reason why he was here in the village now was not because he was pitted by phantom sounds.

As early as when the news of the fall of the Silu family came, Ruth wanted to change his strategy first, and if he violated discipline, he would violate discipline, and let himself return to Elippi to see the situation first.

However, just as Ruth was about to go home, the Phantom Sound appeared for the fourth time, informing Ruth that he should stay in Hercy at this time, because there would be a great opportunity waiting for Ruth.

The mysterious phantom appeared for the fourth time, remembering that the third phantom accurately announced the news of the destruction of the Silu family, Ruth could feel the horror of the phantom, so after thinking twice, Ruth decided to follow the phantom's arrangement, not to return to Elippi for the time being, and stay in Hercy to see how things would develop.

As a result, they ran into this group of Okemi barbarians head-on.

It has been ten years since Ruth arrived in Hercy, and in the past ten years, thanks to the hard work of these Audi immigrants, they have cut down the Black Forest, reclaimed the barren land into neat farmland, and carved out the overgrown ground into rudimentary roads, so that this land that was originally only barbarians has the smell of civilization.

However, after ten years of hard work, under the clamor of the Okemi barbarians to "regain the ancestral land and kill all the immigrants", the farmland was burned, the ditches were destroyed, the houses were wantonly trampled on, and the residents of the villages were wantonly abused, slaughtered and hanged, just as the Audi people did when they opened up the wasteland - the Okemi barbarians did not care whether it was the Audi immigrants or the Okemi obedient people in front of them.

As early as when Ruth heard the rumors, he began to organize the retreat of the immigrants, but unfortunately these ignorant peasants were reluctant to do that, and did not listen to all kinds of orders, and when the scene was chaotic, the Okemi barbarians killed them, so that all the people no longer need to worry about what should be taken away.

There was no way, although most of these barbarians were not very strong, but there were too many of them, so Ruth grabbed his easily carried property and food, beckoned a few governors, and galloped towards the main city of Haixi.

After a few days of sleepless galloping, Ruth finally arrived in Haixi, at this time there was already a barbarian encircling Haixi, fortunately not all of them were encircled, there were many passages. Hercynian has been surrounded by barbarians so many times that it has now built a wall on the landing side that is tall enough to defend against the barbarian invasion.

Originally, the Haixi army refused to let Ruth and his party come up, but after Ruth showed his noble status, he successfully entered Haixi. Thankfully, Ruth was spared the fate of the peasants on the west side, and was mostly slaughtered by the pursuing barbarians after being denied entry into the wall, and only a few lucky ones managed to escape.

"Maxie, why are you?" Ruth, who fled into the city, was stunned to find that the person who was now in charge of coordinating the defense of the entire city was actually the Maxie from the Tetra family who had no responsibility for his children.

This is troublesome, although this person is considered to be the leader of Ruth into Haixi, but because Ruth can't get used to his disregard for his children, he has quarreled with him a lot, and the relationship is not harmonious.

"Ha, our beloved Angel Tong, I went to the countryside to have a private meeting with my mistress a few days ago, and I haven't come back until today anyway. As for the other people with higher titles than me, they either went to Yu Liwen with the army 2 months ago, or they happened to be not in Haixi, oh, the last three people with higher titles than me went to Yu Liwen with all the cavalry to seek support a few days ago, and handed over the task to me, so now I am in charge of guarding Haixi. ”

Hearing Maxie's words, Ruston felt a stomachache, why went to Malado to seek support, it was obviously to smear oil on the soles of his feet! And you actually gave the task to this drunkard who was drunk all day long, can he guard Hecy? You just see that Maxie has no prestige and no allies to bully, right? Not only dump the pot at him, but also be irresponsible.

"Do you have any plans now?" Ruth pretended to be serious despite his distrust of Maxie, trying to have a good conversation with him.

"Send a letter asking for help from Yu Liwen, and then wait for the reinforcements to arrive," now that he was idle, Maxie began to take out the bad wine and drink it again.

"And then?" Ruth already had a premonition that he was going to cheat his father, but while deceiving that this was his delusion, he made a final effort.

"It's gone. ”

"No!!, you're just clinging to it?"

"I'm the chief, the tax collector of the Mousse family!" Maxie, who was yelled, wiped his nose, then put down the wine bottle, and his eyes rolled to an idea, "Since you want a new method, I really have it, the ships of Hercynian are all for you, sailors, you can collect them yourself, and take a fleet out to do things cheaply." ”

Hearing this kind of order that has no head or tail, and wants to shake the pot no matter how you look at it, Ruth really doesn't know what to say except for opening his mouth wide.

Seeing that Ruth didn't respond, Maxie smiled, turned around and staggered away: "You can't think of a new way, can you? ”

"Who said no! I'll go!" Phantom said, I have the opportunity to stay in Heixi, so I should shoulder the responsibility, this is Ruth's naïve idea at this time. However, in the next few days, Ruth searched and researched a set of plans, and then ran to the harbor to start recruiting, only to be beaten by reality.

The fleet is ready-made, the official fleet used by the Hercynian City Council for routine maintenance, sailor rescue, and theoretically defending the island (this is the experience copied from the Bird Feather District, but unfortunately there are no islands at all in the Right Wing District), it stands to reason that there should be 13 ships in the Hercynian port, but although there are many ships on the dock when Ruth goes, there are no official ships.

As soon as Ruth asked the officer, he found out that the official fleet had either sailed out, or it was damaged for various reasons and then taken for maintenance. Seeing the current situation, how could Ruth not know that someone was planning to use these ships to escape for their lives when the city was broken.

Ruth directly took the matter to the city council, and labeled the nobles who seized the ship as fornicating with the Okemi barbarians, and after making a big fuss, he finally seized 3 tattered official boats.

In addition, when Ruth was making a big fuss about the council, he also sent his servants to find fault on the docks all day long, and these days he successively detained 6 merchant ships and 5 fishing boats on charges of violating the law, and finally made up a fleet of 14 ships.

By the time Ruth was busy with this, the Okemi barbarians had completed the siege of Hercy, and according to the news from the messenger, only 2 fortresses of the Audi forces outside had not been pulled out and were still holding on, but if there was no one to deliver supplies, how long they could hold on was also a question mark.

Ruth proposed a plan to use the fleet he had collected to attack the Okemi barbarians by sea, and because of the order given by Maxie to act cheaply, Ruth's plan was approved.

However, the order to levy sailors was also not smooth, and most of the sailors were requisitioned to defend the city, except for a small number of sailors, Ruth had to find a group of criminals and fishermen to make a living, and then set sail.

As a result, as soon as they sailed out of Haixi, this group of improvised sailors found a moth for Ruth.

"Why can't we just run away and drive to Malado?" said the sailors, who had come by criminal turn, and who could not row at all, began to make a noise.

Hearing such a stupid question, Ruth almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, but considering that this group of people were not reliable sailors, he could only patiently explain: "Because the voyage is not enough, it will not be possible to drive Malado at all, otherwise why no one in Haixi will escape by water, and they will rest assured that I will come out with the fleet." ”

"It's not enough to sail along the shore!" the group of criminals was still clamoring.

"The black forest is a treacherous black forest on the way! The plants in the Black Forest are carnivorous aquatic herbaceous trees, which will prey on passing ships, and cannot dock!"

"What herbs! I haven't heard of it, it must be you, a nobleman, trying to deceive us!"

So not long after he went to sea, before he could see his target Okmi, Ruth had to fight with this group of uneducated criminals, and as a result, 3 of the 14 ships that set out were sunk, 6 were damaged, 1 escaped, 1 was missing, and only 3 were still intact.

Seeing that he hadn't seen the enemy yet, and because of the infighting, the fleet had become tattered, Ruth was so depressed that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

Not to mention, these improvised sailors have been terrified by the infighting, and after Ruth lost the ship that was too badly damaged, a few days after sailing north, they began to clamoring for a retreat to Hercy, of course, the words are not so straightforward, they claim to "return to Hercy to fight against the Okemi".

Ruth had a hunch that if he continued to go to the rear against the wishes of this group of people to contain the Okemi who didn't know if there were any, he was afraid that his poor small fleet would usher in a second infighting.

So, a few days after leaving the city, Ruth could only return with the fleet in a gloomy manner, ending his first trip with his troops, and when his fleet entered the port, because of the damage and operation of the ships, the ships crashed into the dock, and then a series of collisions, and finally caused a great chaos.

It can be said that Ruth's first experience of leading troops independently can be described as extremely overwhelming.

Returning to the main city of Haixi, Ruth immediately got two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that before the war, Maxie, who thought he was unreliable, unexpectedly guarded well, and Heicy's reaction afterwards was to guard properly, which was not at all the same as his usual performance.

The bad news is that the chaos he created at the dock became a breakthrough for the Okemi barbarians, and as a result, the Okemi barbarians killed them from the docks, and Haixi was lost.

Before being knocked unconscious by an Okomi brute, Ruth was dazed by the thought of his fourth apparition not long ago.

"I said that I could get a chance by staying in Haixi, but is this opportunity my chance, or the fate of the Okemi barbarian......s?

That was Ruth's last thought before he fell unconscious.
