The giant eagle falls from the sky, its wings blocking the sunlight in the sky, and the shadows envelop Matt and the child in the streets. It stretched out its claws, and a few feathers fluttered down on its flapping wings.

Matt gritted his teeth and took the child in his arms and lay down on the street. He knew he wouldn't be able to escape, but if he could, he might be able to protect the kid. Just push the kid away the moment the eagle grabbed him.

Damn beast, Matt thought, looking at the approaching shadows on the ground, waiting for the pain to come.

"Bang!" A window on the side of the street shattered, shards of glass spilled all over the floor, something rushed out of the window, what was it, Matt didn't see.

But he heard a voice, one that looked like something had been cut open, and a howl.

"Thorn ——!"

"Huh!"

Then it was as if something was splashing up in the sky and falling on him.

Matt looked back, and he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

A small figure stood in front of him, holding a long black knife in his hand. Her back to the light made it impossible to see her clearly, only one of her backs could be seen.

The giant eagle in the sky was cut in half, its wings spread wide, maintaining the action of swooping, but its eyes were fixed on the top of its body.

Its body stiffened and fell to the ground, blood raining down from the sky and onto Matt's cheek.

Until the giant eagle's body fell, making a dull thud.

Matt covered the eyes of the child in his arms for the first time, not letting him see such a bloody scene.

"Hatsu!"

There was a call from the tavern down the street, and it was another older boy running out of the tavern.

Matt remembered the two of them, a boy and a girl, strangers who had eaten at the pub bar last night.

Standing on the street, Chu didn't look at the body of the giant eagle that had fallen to the ground, and turned to look at Mann.

"Are you alright?" Mann asked breathlessly, as he saw him run out of his room as he first burst out of the window.

Chu shook his head lightly and did not speak.

Mann gasped for a moment, looked at the corpses and blood on the ground, and then at Matt and the child in his arms sitting on the side, and to be honest, the smell of blood spilling through the streets made him a little uncomfortable, but he managed to calm himself down.

At this time, the streets were already in chaos, and the beasts that flew into the city through the rain of arrows were attacking things and humans in all directions, and in the distance, the soldiers were already fighting with the beasts, and they roared with the roar of the beasts.

After a while, Mann gritted his teeth and looked up at Hatsu.

"Chu, what do you think?"

What do you think, naturally leave or stay.

Chu held the knife in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said, "They have not confiscated our goods yet. ”

"Huh. Mann smiled wryly, his face ugly.

"Of course, we are honest businessmen. ”

Since the other party has given money, it is necessary to hand over the goods to the other party in good condition.

"You can make sure you're safe, right?" Mann said earnestly to Hatsu.

"Of course. At first glance, she looked at the city wall in the distance, but it was just such a group of beasts, and it did not threaten her.

Well, hopefully I didn't make a stupid decision.

Mann sighed and chuckled.

"Then, take me to the city wall, and let's go meet the lord of the city. ”

······

On the city walls, the beast's attack was in full swing, and everywhere was under attack, and everywhere was struggling to support.

The soldiers of Hiskama, the soldiers supported by the kingdom, and the hired adventurers are all desperately fighting the field **. The difference is that the soldiers of the Hiscama are not holding back, the soldiers of the kingdom are considering the odds, and the hired adventurers are judging whether they need to retreat.

"Ahh

A soldier screamed and slashed down an ape that had bitten his arm, but before he could catch his breath, another beast pounced.

He had no time to prepare for his defenses, and could only watch as the beast approached.

He thought he was going to die here, when suddenly a hand grabbed him from behind and pulled him back.

Then a blood-stained sword stabbed out of his side and stabbed at the beast, stabbing it to the ground.

"Whew, whew. The soldier who survived the catastrophe breathed heavily.

A man limped out from behind him.

Only then did the soldier see who had saved him, it was the lord of the city, Hiscama, who had the same name as the city.

Hiscama was out of breath by this time, the sword in his hand was on the ground, supporting his body, his armor was stained with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of the beast.

"Hold on. He patted the soldier on the shoulder.

The soldier could feel the weight of the hand on his shoulders, and the solemnity in Hiscama's eyes, as if he had entrusted the fate of the city to him, or to everyone here.

"For the oath to the kingdom. ”

There seems to be a will in Hiscama's body, a will that can infect those around him.

"Ahh The soldier gasped and nodded, looking at the chaotic battlefield.

yes, what else can I do when it's already like this?

"For, an oath to the kingdom. Talking to himself, he gripped his sword and faced the beasts of the city.

In fact, he was about to forget what kind of oath he had made to Wang Guoguo when he joined the army, but at this moment of life and death, when he read this sentence, he had a feeling of blood boiling.

That's enough, that's his oath to the kingdom.

Hiscama dragged his wounded leg towards another battle-hardened wall, he was more persistent than anyone here, he had to defend it.

But is he really just fighting for his oath to the kingdom, which he really isn't.

He didn't care so much about the ethereal oath, he cared about the promise he had made to his father, promising that he would use his life to protect the city that his ancestors guarded, and the people of this city.

"From today onwards, your name is Hiscama. These were the first words his father said at his birth.

"Promise me that you will always guard this place, this is a promise between our men. This was an agreement his uncle made with him on his eighteenth birthday.

"Now, swear to me that you will defend this land with your life until your sword breaks, until your armor breaks, until your blood is shed. ”

It was the only thing his father said to him when he succeeded to the throne of the castle.

He has undergone the most rigorous training and education since he was a child, just to protect this place, and every generation of Hiscama has been like this.

They will never leave this place, and their lives will be born here and can only end here.

What a joke, Hiscama looked at the beast on the wall with blood-red eyes.

My family has given up everything to protect the city, how can I let you trample on it like this!

"Winged front, defend here!" Hiscama shouted with the sword in his hand.

"For, Hiskama!"
