Duolun's eyes rolled casually.

More and more warriors, with a look of fortitude and coldness on their faces, gathered together in full armament, forming a terrifying black torrent.

These warriors ranged in age from gray-haired old men to thirteen or fourteen-year-old imps, covering almost all ages, and even some strong women.

Although they seem to have a ragtag feeling, they all have a unique temperament - it is a cold consciousness honed by struggling to survive in the last days and dying several times!

In order to survive, they have experienced terrible confrontations with insects and beasts, the same environment, and even with their own kind, and their psychological quality is simply incomparable with that of ordinary people in that peaceful era.

Even Duolun, although he was only a carpenter before, now he has the confidence that even if the sheriff in the territory came with a small team of militia, he could be killed one by one!

"For Lina...... I will definitely be back!"

Looking at the huge iron doors that opened one by one, Duolun secretly made up his mind.

Just thinking of the figure that was still waiting for him in his house, he felt that he was full of power!

Although I don't know why I saved each other with a soft heart, but now Duolun finds that they have become the only support and sustenance between each other.

If it weren't for this last insistence of the heart, I'm afraid that he would have died a long time ago under the first few serious injuries, and even the doctors said that he was the lucky one who crawled back from the brink of death.

"Although it is still unknown for people like me to survive until tomorrow, I will ...... next time Let's propose......"

Doron touched his chest. Exhaled a large gulp of white vapor.

"Hey!

A powerful black thin palm lined up on Duolun's shoulder, and the tremendous force that came from it almost caused Duolun to fall directly to the ground.

He looked back. A look of surprise on his face: "Big Brother Jimmy!!"

Tapping him on the shoulder in the back was a tall, thin young man wearing a nondescript horned helmet. The weapon in his hand was a large broken axe.

Although the axe was already covered with chips, the weight of almost a hundred catties alone was enough to be prohibitive.

Beside Jimmy, there were still a few warriors standing around, forming the prototype of a squad, and it could be seen that Jimmy had a high prestige among them.

"Haha...... You kid, I knew the acid spray of the phototaxis couldn't kill you last time......"

Jimmy's face was excited, and he took out another calfskin bag and threw it to Doron, "Here!

"Hmm......"

Doren swallowed, listening to the sounds of swallowing saliva around him. Take a sip carefully.

The strong and spicy taste, like a line of fire, ran down his throat to his abdomen, instantly warming his body.

"It's spirits!"

The surrounding warriors whispered enviously, in the current situation of food scarcity, the value of a bag of spirits is simply priceless.

And, in the cold wilderness, having a bag of spirits is simply a guarantee of a second life!

In an instant, many people looked at Duolun and looked at him a little wrong. But as soon as Doren returned the bag, the pretenders quickly dispersed.

Just kidding! Jimmy, the Skullbreaker, was not called for nothing, and although Jimmy looked like a bamboo pole, the axe in his hand had already cut the heads of a dozen warriors taller than him.

――Sometimes. Survivors are more dangerous than insects.

For a small bag of wheat, for a clean source of water, or even just for a small piece of jerky, two groups of people set each other on fire and even died. Duolun has been through it several times.

And because of this, for the generous Jimmy. He had a very good impression in his heart.

There are not many people who can still maintain a certain degree of principle and goodwill.

Even if the other party just wants to take advantage of him. At most, each takes what he needs, and this kind of sincerity and contagion is not something that ordinary leaders can have.

As long as it can be used, it means that it is still valuable, doesn't it?

Duolun couldn't help but clench the steel longsword in his hand.

"Haha...... How's it going? Is this operation still with us?"

Jimmy touched his bald head, his blue eyes glowing sincerely.

"No...... I'm going to need at least two portions of food this time, meat, enough to survive this cold spell, and preferably a little medicine or a priest's magic scroll, Lena seems to have had a fever lately, and I'm a little worried......"

Duolun blushed a little, this share, even for Jimmy's squad, would take a big life to get.

"That's ......"

Jimmy touched his chin.

"So, this time I'm ......still alone," Doren said hesitantly, but was interrupted in an instant.

Jimmy put his arms around his shoulders affectionately, laughing on his face, "I didn't expect our little Duolun to become an adult too...... Ha ha...... The excess will be deducted from my harvest!"

"Thank you...... Thank you!Jimmy!"

Duolun was instantly moved, and two tears almost flowed out.

"Don't be like a woman, hurry up and keep up!" Jimmy carried his axe and led his team out of the fortress gates.

The human gathering point established here not only has a tall wall on the outermost part, but even has several layers of inner areas in a row, forming a ring of divisions, so that even if the outermost layer is lost, the defenders can quickly establish a new defense inside.

The core area is naturally inhabited by the superior of the entire gathering point, while the inner area is the residence of the regular army and other occupations.

People like Duolun can only bring their families and squeeze into the most dangerous outlying areas, and each beast tide suffers the most damage, forcing them to build their homes into tight fortresses.

Differences in rank and status, even in the last days, have persisted tenaciously.

Duolun's greatest wish, in addition to marrying Linna, is to take Lina to relocate to the core area.

I heard that it is guarded by powerful spellcasters, and it is the safest place on the entire continent, and even every meal is served with red wine and white bread, even before the Dark Cataclysm, it is a luxury that is beyond the reach of Toron.

"It's just...... Haven't the mages lost their spells?"

Duolun thought a little weakly, after all, what happened in Hoffman's homestead was a condemnation and stain in his heart.

However, there is no doubt that the entire fortress can survive the insect tide and other dangers by relying on the power of spells.

Duolun couldn't help but look up at the outermost fortress wall.

The hard granite was covered with signs of corrosion and cuts, and there were strange small black barrels at each battlement.

A layer of bright runes appeared in the dark muzzle, with a reassuring power - Duolun had seen more than once that when the insect tide came, every time the cannon was fired, it could easily take away a large area of phototaxis worms, and even the red worms that devoured the high-level professionals would be hated!

Boom, boom, boom!

The huge bracket slammed, slowly lowering the door panel hanging from the chain, and the brigade rode horses, and the professional army in steel armor lined up in an orderly manner, making the faces of the many miscellaneous soldiers appear with envy.

These are legions made up of professionals, and they have amazing combat effectiveness.

In addition, as long as they are selected into the regular army, although their families cannot enter the core area, they can also enter the relatively safe inner area and obtain a stable supply of food.

For many civilians, this is the dream of a lifetime.

Compared to these regular armies, even the most elite adventurer squads have outdated armor and a motley temperament.

Only a few, such as Jimmy, Doron and others, looked at the regular army with a look of eagerness to try it instead of being ashamed.

"According to the decree issued by the city lord, a phototaxis insect counts as a little merit, I have already made up ninety points, and I only need to score another ten points of merit to enter the inner city and become a member of the regular army!"

Duolun's heart is a little hot, after all, this means that he is a big step forward from his dream!

"Big Brother Jimmy has already made up enough merits, but there are still a few brothers left in the outer city, so he also stayed......"

For Jimmy, Duolun's heart is extremely admired.

Ritsu ......

At this time, numerous regular armies began to assemble and form regular phalanxes.

The solemn atmosphere suddenly spread, and the adventurers couldn't help but fall into silence.

Whew......

The cold wind blew, causing the silver moon banner held by the knight to flutter continuously, rippling with a strange luster.

Duolun squinted, and felt that there seemed to be a few more black spots on the horizon - for some reason, although there was no sun, his eyes had gone from being blind at first, to being a little better now.

At least, with the help of the many stars in the sky, many priests say that the light of the kingdom of God, they can barely see what is within fifty meters.

The black dots grew bigger and bigger, and when they got closer, they caused everyone to exclaim, and it turned out to be the figures of several mages soaring in the sky.

"My People ......"

A female mage wearing silver-white armor, unable to see clearly, with a young voice with vicissitudes of life, descended on the front of the legion, causing a burst of shouts and exclamations.

"It's the lord of the castle!"

"Queen of the Silver Moon!

Duolun also bowed and saluted with the people around him.

In any case, in this last world, being able to get the protection of the other party and have a relatively safe place to settle is enough for Duolun to sincerely thank the other party.

It's just that at this time, the Silver Moon Queen Erastro, who was standing in the sky, didn't have much joy on her face, and even the whole person looked much older. (To be continued.) )
