The sky was cloudy, and the whole hue appeared gray.

Because it had just rained, the air was full of cold breath, and on the muddy road, there were pedestrians passing by in twos and threes, and naughty children splashed dirty water in the mud puddles, attracting the shouts and scolding of grumpy men on the side......

Everyone was in a hurry.

Among the scattered pedestrians were three figures, all dressed in large black cloaks, moving slowly.

Han Qingluo raised his feet to avoid the splashed muddy water, and then looked at his boots, which were already covered with dirty and sticky mud. Jue and Jin beside him walked silently, and in order to avoid panic caused by accidents, Jue's eyes changed to normal black.

Today they were going to buy a batch of weapons, which was supposed to be done by Lunsen, but Jue suddenly decided to come in person on the spot.

Walking to the small trading market, it is full of civilians dressed in plain linen clothes, children wearing tattered and dirty linen clothes walking through every corner and playing, and the market is filled with the sound of all kinds of goods being sold, which is dazzling.

The dilapidated wooden sheds, simple stalls, and potholed dirt roads formed the prototype of a small market. The tone is single and dull, and only the lively sound announces its vitality.

When I came to a hidden corner of the small market, the small shed with thick white fog came into view, and as soon as I stepped in, the hot temperature was instantly very different from the previous cold.

A blacksmith stopped what he was doing and greeted the three men.

"You were introduced by Rensen, aren't you?" Dahan spoke.

"Yes." Jin lifted his broad hat, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to him, the big man took it carefully, glanced at the handwriting on the paper, then looked at the three of them, nodded, and raised his hand to signal them to enter the inner room.

"What you asked for in the first three months has been done, and when the time comes, hire a carriage to send it to you, and today you will order a new one?" Dahan politely poured water on them, the water cup was full of putty, black, Han Qingluo retracted his hand in disgust, and the desire to drink water disappeared in an instant.

"That's right, it's still the same as before, sharp and thin!" Jue took out the cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table, the big man immediately picked it up and opened it and took a cursory look, revealing his black teeth, and said with a smile: "No problem." ”

Han Qingluo was more than a meter away from the big man, and he could still smell the stench and bad breath on his body, and he almost vomited. Tightly covering his mouth and nose, he said in his heart that foreigners in this era really don't like to take a bath, don't pay attention to personal hygiene, and have such a heavy body odor, no wonder perfume is so popular, but it is expensive, and only the upper class nobles can afford it, and the commoners love it.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted: "The barbarians are coming, run!" ”

When the big man heard this, he quickly locked the door and said to them: "Every once in a while, these barbarians will come to harass them, it's okay, they will leave after a while." ”

The sound of horses' hooves was so loud that there were still many people who heard the sound, and the savages rushed into the market with white paint on their faces, feathers on their heads, or feathered hats, or naked, or dressed in animal skins, and armed with sharp spears and bows and arrows. The people were so frightened that they hurried back to their houses, and the goods that were left outside had no time to be taken away by the barbarians.

There are always a few unlucky ones who die under their cold weapons, all of them scalped off.

Barbarian? Han Qingluo sat at the table, searching for the limited Western knowledge in his mind, the aborigines of North America are only Indians, could it be that the barbarians in their mouths are Indians? This is the dark age when the colonists are massacring them, no wonder they will come to invade this place, and they must hate this group of outsiders.

After thinking about it, it was already quiet outside, and the big man opened the door tremblingly, looked around, turned his head and said, "It's okay!" In the next second, a stone rod flew far towards the back of his head.

"Be careful!" Han Qingluo's eyes were fast, and he didn't allow his brain to react to a flying body blocking the big man, and subconsciously raised his arm to cover it, Han Qingluo's reckless behavior was undoubtedly a mantis arm blocking the car in the face of the fast-flying stone stick!

At the last moment, Han Qingluo's ears sounded with Jue's cold voice: "Don't be reckless if you don't have that much ability." Seeing that his strong hand held the stone stick that was speeding over and protected Han Qingluo in his arms, the frightened big man had already slipped behind the two.

He threw the stone stick out of the door, hugged her from behind, turned around and took Han Qingluo into the room, closed the door, and instructed in a deep voice: "Jin, you take her first." ”

Jin nodded and grabbed Han Qingluo and ran to the back door,

In an instant, the door was smashed wildly, and the streets and earthen houses were full of screams, and the men rose up to resist, but they were no match for these barbarians, and they died tragically at their hands, and all the old and young women and children were spared. This time, the Indians came to slaughter......

On the chaotic street, Jin pulled Han Qingluo to hide everywhere. Everywhere there were piercing screams, everywhere were terrified faces—old men, children, women, strong men, and the fear of death made them panic.

Cold horses' hooves trampled everywhere, waving stone clubs stained with the blood of innocent civilians......

"Mommy, Mommy!" Suddenly, a lone child was crying in the chaos, Han Qingluo was pulled by Jin and ran wildly, just passing by the child, and the next second his small figure was knocked down by a hammer behind her, and he was silent in a pool of blood......

Han Qingluo only felt suffocated in her heart, and a series of complex emotions such as shock, fear, and anger filled her chest - the killing was happening right in front of her eyes, and that desperate emotion made her stagnate and almost fall.

Jin grabbed her and stabilized her mind: "Don't be in a daze, run!" ”

The two abrupt black shadows of Han Qingluo and Jin immediately attracted the attention of several Indians, who rode at them and ran towards them with a roar. The leader's eyes were fierce, and he drew an arrow from behind him, put it on the string, aimed, moved, and fired......

"Huh", the arrow broke through the resistance of the air and flew straight towards the two, Jin, who had keen hearing, sensed the danger behind him, and hurriedly pulled Han Qingluo to change direction, the arrow shot through Han Qingluo's cloak, only wiped a corner, and the leader chased after the horse angrily.

"What should I do?" Hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind her ears, Han Qingluo panicked, the violent and chaotic scene just now made her lose her concentration.

"Hold on to my hand!" Jin Shen said.

Soon the two were driven to a seaside cliff, where the waves crashed against the rock wall with a low roar. The sea breeze was raging, whirring the cloaks, and the rushing waters wet their hair and cloaks.

The Indians rode their horses and slowly approached the two of them, until Jin and Han Qingluo had no way to retreat and were precarious on the edge of the cliff. The leader smiled merrily, looking at them with a look of disdain and mockery as if they were two trembling prey.

He raised his bow again, drew the arrow from the quiver behind him, and aimed it at Kim, he wanted to keep the petite girl to take back to the tribe and sell it for a good price.

The revenge slaughter thrilled them, and the rest of their companions sneered as they watched the bloody show that was about to begin.

Arrow out.

Whistling and flying through the wind.

At the same time, the blue of the golden eyes was instantly replaced by scarlet, and he rushed out with great speed, grabbed the arrow that had just flown out, and stabbed it fiercely into the sweaty neck of the horse riding under the leader, and then pulled it out, and the warm horse blood immediately erupted from the broken wound, and the horse raised its hooves high in fright, and even the man and the horse fell into the mud.

The other horses were also so frightened that they shook their hooves.

"It's the devil!" One of the Indians shouted in the tribal language, and the rest of the companions showed frightened expressions, and when they saw the golden scarlet eyes, their faces changed instantly—they were the symbol of the devil!

Hearing the sound, the leader got up from the mud, pulled out the short knife exchanged from his waist, and scolded angrily: "You fools, hurry up! ”

The rest of the companions tugged at the reins, and the horses beneath them refused to approach for a moment, shaking their restless hooves and beginning to disobey their masters.

"All down!" The leader roared.

After hesitating, several companions jumped off their horses, clenched the stone sticks and spears in their hands, and vigilantly surrounded Jin and Han Qingluo.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." The red eyes were fixed on the group of barbarians, and Jin protected Han Qingluo behind him, and her body trembled slightly with clammy cold and fear.

In the midst of the confrontation, the sound of horses' hooves sounded not far away, and everyone heard the sound of a horse galloping towards them.

Jue on horseback looked cold, his face was covered with blood, and he held a blood-red sword in his hand, and in the flash of lightning, the horse roared to the Indians.

With a round of his wrist, an Indian who did not react was cut off in an instant, and fell to the ground, and the other Indians saw that the situation was not good, and quickly jumped on their horses and fled in a hurry, not even caring about the corpses of their companions.

It wasn't until they were embarrassed to move away that Jue dropped the blood-stained sword in his hand and jumped off his horse.

"Are you all right?" Jue walked towards the two.

Han Qingluo had never seen this kind of battle, he was frightened stupidly, and nodded again and again for the rest of his life.

Jin Fu regained his pupils and replied, "It's okay." ”

"Now that the human world is a little chaotic, let's stay in the castle for the time being!" Jue looked at Han Qingluo, the look of fear couldn't be pretended, it seemed that she hadn't seen this kind of barbaric and violent skirmish, not to mention the cruelty of war, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was hell.

In this land, the conflict between the colonizers and the indigenous people has never stopped.

On the way back, the three of them passed by the small market, which was bustling with people not long ago, but now the wailing was endless.

Han Qingluo was greatly shocked, and also dispelled her desire to escape, for her, it is better to stay in the castle and live with this group of heretical creatures than in this outside world full of unknown dangers, the outside is far more bloody, more violent, and more cruel than the inside......
