Time, 1024 in the imperial calendar, location, north of the imperial capital.

I don't know if it's because of the season, or if this is the way it is, the cold wind whistling in the sky wantonly, hitting the face, like a knife scraping bones, the cold chill sneaks into the body along the pores, and it freezes so much that people can't stop swinging.

Outside a dilapidated fortress, the gates were wide open, and the inhabitants of the city, sustained by soldiers, staggered out of the city in a haphazard procession.

At a glance, the whole team looked like a long snake, drawing a slender black line on the earth, and slowly winding forward.

There is no purpose and no hope!

In the cold wind as cold as knives, most of them hunched their bodies, like walking corpses, mechanically following the footsteps ahead.

The numbness and sadness were deeply engraved on everyone's faces, and in the cloudy eyes, the back of the previous person was reflected, just like that, staring without blinking, like a fragile silk thread, pulling them towards the future.

Is there a future?

Everyone has asked themselves that way.

Leaving the fortress and walking on the desolate land of ice and snow, the thin clothes are not immune to the biting cold wind, and while enduring the endless ice, you must always be on the lookout for dangerous species that may jump out to prey, and even hide from the fighting army......

Everything seems to indicate that they have no future!

Either starve to death in this barren land, or become food for dangerous species. But even so, they were still impatient to escape from the fortress, from the demon cave that was about to fall.

For no other reason, being a prisoner of the Imperial army is more frightening to them than freezing to death outside. Especially the leader of the army, the general who takes pleasure in torturing people, Estes!

At the thought of this name, everyone was terrified, and the pace of movement unconsciously accelerated a lot.

I don't know how long they walked, but their legs were already numb from the cold, and they couldn't even feel the sensation of their calves and feet below the knees, and the reason why they could still stand and walk was because of their fear of Estes.

At this moment, the team in front suddenly stopped, and the refugees who followed closely behind did not react at all, and crashed into the back of the previous person by inertia.

Both of them could not control their bodies and fell to the ground, and the refugees behind them also couldn't stop, tripping over their fallen legs and falling to the ground.

"Oops!"

"What the hell are you doing up ahead?"

"Why did you stop? Damn, I don't even know how to say hello in advance! ”

Crash!

Like dominoes, one by one, the ragged refugees tripped and fell to the ground, humming, complaining, and cursing.

Until this moment, the walking dead, who are like zombies, finally have a trace of popularity.

"It's time to the Dona!"

I don't know who shouted, and the tone was mixed with fear and despair, like an invisible broom, sweeping away all the complaints and curses, leaving only short, violent gasps, and a pair of bloodshot eyes.

The Dona River used to be their mother river, but now, the nearly 30-meter-wide river is like a moat, blocking their way of escape.

In front of you is a rushing river, and behind you is a fortress that is about to fall...... At this moment, panic and despair spread in everyone's hearts.

They had left the fortress with one in ten thousand hopes and fled here because it was rumored that the Imperial Army's general, Estes, possessed the strongest Ice Imperial Equipment, and that she might freeze the river for the army to pass through.

The waves in front of you on the river surface will completely knock down the dust with the last trace of residual thoughts and hopes!

"God, where do we go from here?" "Who's going to save us......"

After a short silence, the refugees sat on the ground in despair, the cold wind continued to invade their fragile bodies, but it was difficult to hide their hearts that were about to collapse.

"Mom, can't we escape?"

A six- or seven-year-old child lifted his head from his mother's arms, his eyes full of innocence and longing for life.

"No, it won't!"

Mother held back the tears in her eyes and tightened her embrace, "Prince Seka will come over soon, and with the power of the prince, he will definitely be able to help us cross the Daine." ”

In fact, not long after they left the fortress, Prince Seka was breached by Estes and became a prisoner of the Empire.

If you don't have time to take care of yourself, how can you afford to come and help these refugees?

"Hmm!"

Hearing Prince Seka, the child's eyes lit up again, and he buried himself in his mother's arms, and after a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

"What's that?"

Just as everyone was crying and wailing, a man raised his hand and pointed to the surface of the river and screamed.

Everyone followed the man's hand and looked into the distance, only to see that in the center of the river, a man with dark red hair and white clothes was standing on the river, looking around curiously.

What surprised them the most was that the man was able to stand on the surface of the river as if it were not a flowing river, but a hard earth under his feet!

The man standing at the front of the line looked suspicious, thinking that something unknown had happened in the Dona River, so he crouched down unconvincedly, raised his hand into the river, and tried it.

"It's the river, how can it be?"

"It won't be...... Dangerous species, right? One swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty.

"Fart, that's obviously a person, a person like us, how can it be a dangerous species?" The companion beside him retorted, "I guess that lord is probably some big man with imperial tools!" ”

Speaking the latter sentence, the companion unconsciously used honorifics.

Although he didn't know the true identity of the man on the river, just by the coquettish posture with his hands in his trouser pockets, he could conclude that the other party and himself were definitely not all the way.

Not a class of people, to be exact.

As if sensing the commotion by the river, Zhang Han turned his head and looked at the humans gathered on the bank, and couldn't help frowning.

Refugee!

And looking at the tattered clothes, it looks more like an ancient refugee.

"What the hell is this? It's not going to be a war, is it? ”

After killing the blue dye, Zhang Han completely solved the big problem in his heart, and the whole person became much more relaxed and lazy. If it weren't for the fact that the three people in the family were making too much trouble, he wouldn't be ready to continue crossing the house twice in three days.

Who knew that after flying in the gap between the planes, the plane that came to them would be like this.

Desolate land, endless weeds, and refugees in the shape of savages...... This Nima, Lao Tzu is here to travel and relax, so can't he find a place with better scenery?

Zhang Han was completely speechless about his sad luck!
