He cried as he walked, tears spilling all the way.

The day he left the main city to report to the Northeast Fortress, he thought he could finally get rid of those damn training and bullies and enjoy three months of happiness. This was true at first, and the fortress assigned him to work as an overseer at a timber gathering point. Watching the slaves do it during the day and doing it for the slaves at night, it was a very leisurely time.

"I said thief, you're also a man with a handle, a little promising, aren't you? What does it look like to cry and cry? Said the slave on his back.

Do you think I'd like this? He wanted to yell at a woman. But he sobbed so hard that he couldn't open his mouth, and finally he could only swallow the words back into his stomach.

The turning point occurred three days ago, when a large group of people led by the commander of the garrison came to the stronghold, which he estimated at more than a thousand. Then the order came, and the guards and slaves all followed the garrison back to the fortress and took everything they could.

"What's wrong?" He cautiously inquired with a single-rank samurai who was lifting the restrictions on the slaves in the stronghold one by one, allowing them to reuse their abilities.

"What else could happen? Fighting. The other party replied angrily, the samurai was in a hurry to finish the business at hand, and he was not in a good mood to be polite to him.

"War?" He was dumbfounded, isn't it peacetime? "The boundary wall is gone?"

"You won't be without the boundary wall, and this time there are said to be hundreds of tails that have infiltrated us, and we have to gather all the people we can use. You're panicking, aren't you? Don't you see that the wall is being demolished over there? Go help! ”

After listening to the samurai's words, he still felt that the other party was exaggerating, although he was a recruit who had just come to the arena for less than half a year, he had already accumulated a lot of common sense from others. How many hundreds of tails have penetrated in? How is this possible? This level of infiltration had never happened in the decades of known history of the male country, and he didn't believe that his luck was so bad that he could catch up.

In the afternoon of the same day, on the way back to the fortress, they met the enemy. Not hundreds, but thousands. The truth slapped him mercilessly, and his luck was so bad.

"Yours, your legs, okay, are you better?" The sobbing continued, but he was finally able to speak.

"Except for the fact that you can't get off the ground, everything is fine." She rubbed her chest against his back, "Can you go faster?" Thief man. When we get to the fortress, I'll make sure you'll do it all at once. ”

He found her while running for his life. A woman with a broken leg, leaning alone under a tree on the side of the road, shouted to him for help. He saw that her right breast was painted with a mark representing a slave and decided to take her with him.

You don't promise that I'll you too, you can do it all at once. He swallowed this sentence back into his stomach as well.

"They're coming! Get ready! In the recollection, Shi Chang shouted at them.

With a shudder, he drew stone arrows from the rattan quiver he had given him, and put them on a bowstring made of tree bark. The moment three hundred female warriors rushed at them with lightning speed, he thought they were dead.

However, the garrison was prepared, and the commander stood on the tower and telepathically issued orders, while the outermost slaves of the formation simultaneously took out boulders from their pockets and blocked the enemy.

"Don't be stunned! Raise your bow and fire a volley, put! ”

Three hundred stone arrows flew into the air, slashing through three hundred arcs and falling, and a scream suddenly sounded on the other side of the stone wall.

Are all of these arrows infused with homing? He knew that this kind of stone arrow was very valuable, and the reserve of each fortress was at most more than a thousand. The garrison regiment really made a bloody investment this time.

The people in the stronghold are on standby, ready to support at any time. All the garrison regiments are there, go to the city wall! ’

Soon after the battle ended, the enemy sent a tortoise formation to rescue the wounded and fallen female warrior, fired a few waves of arrows and hurriedly retreated. The attack was a complete failure, leaving only nearly a hundred corpses, and cheers rang out from inside the stone walls.

We won the first leg. The regimental commander's new tactics were very effective, as soon as the enemy was far away, we would put away the stone wall and walk in the direction of the fortress, and as soon as the enemy was near, we would set up a stone wall to fight them. We fought as we went, and we won a couple of rounds in quick succession. They lost nearly two hundred people, twice as many as our victims. We are confident that we will eventually return to the fortress and achieve the final victory.

The woman's mouth on her back didn't stop for a moment, he knew she was diverting her own attention to counteract the pain of a broken leg.

"That bastard priest, he told me he was tired and couldn't pick up my legs. I told him I could wait, and when he had enough rest after dawn, he would attach my legs. So he gave me an anesthetic, and I couldn't help humming in pain, and hypnotized me, so he could sleep peacefully. When I woke up, everyone was gone, and not even one of them was willing to call me. In vain I gave them a way in the night, broke their legs for them, but they didn't care about me at all. The anesthesia worked, I was in pain to death, I crawled and crawled, and finally crawled out of the forest. I happened to see you coming, so I ......"

"So you stopped me and promised to repay me when you got to the fortress." He cut her back. I'm so stupid, why didn't I her at the time and go on my own road? Or simply ignore it? I should have been there an hour ago.

"Wow, thief, have you cried enough? It's the first time I've heard you talk without stammering! ”

It's not too late to leave her behind.

He struggled inwardly for a while, but in the end he just replied that you are stammering. He continued to carry her on his back, and the outline of the fortress's walls was already faintly visible.

"Thief, look, you see, the front is to be plugged!" The slave excitedly shouted, "Here we are!" We're finally safe! ”

"It's never too late for you to shout when you enter the door." He said coldly. What a woman who doesn't have a long memory, she must have forgotten what happened yesterday evening.

Yesterday evening the enemy attacked again. As a reserve, he did not go up to the stone wall, and he did not see the scene of their entire army attacking in formation. But from the exclamations of the garrison on the wall from time to time, he still judged that this time the enemy must have moved in earnest. He quietly connected some of his brothers and slaves, determined to pull out his legs as soon as he saw that something was wrong.

The enemy's first attack was heavy because they did not expect them to have stone walls, so they used a lot of improvised wooden ladders in the second attack. These defective products were unusable, and they fell apart in batches in the heat of battle, which only caused casualties on the women's side.

So their biggest and final attack was different.

"What's going on? That woman flew over! ”

"It's not flying, someone threw her over!"

"Poke her to death! Poke her to death! Well done! ”

"Someone else has been thrown over!"

"Who is so powerful? Can you throw them up one after the other? ”

"Third-Order Samurai! That's a third-order samurai! ”

It made him feel like he was falling off a cliff. The presiding god stipulated that each fang kingdom could have four third-order people, one for the priest and one for the footmen, and two for the samurai. Now the Northeast Women's Country has sent half of their highest-level combat power, and the intention is self-evident.

They wanted to destroy them once and for all.

Some of the women who threw it up were stabbed to death before they could hit the wall, but many of them brandished their weapons in the air, forcefully unblocking several spears and killing the men's ranks. Blood was splattered on the city walls, screaming endlessly, and from time to time corpses fell to the ground, frightening the slaves under the walls to retreat one after another.

'Don't panic! Archers, use all remaining ability arrows to shoot in the direction of the third-order! ’

Homing automatically locks the target at level. In other words, as long as that third-order samurai was still alive and standing within the range of the bow and arrow, it would be as conspicuous as a torch in the night.

Dozens of stone arrows broke away from the bowstring like moths, and cheers came from the city wall, "Shot!" Shot! ”

Well done, brethren. Now we have to ......'

Telepathy was abruptly interrupted, and many people hurriedly looked up, horrified to see their regimental commander fall from the top of the tower. Among the women who the third-order threw at the wall was the marksman.

"Come on! They climbed up the ladder! ”

"Can't stop it! Back off! Back off! ”

The men's defenses collapsed in an instant, and the women swarmed the walls like a tidal wave, throwing spears and arrows into the walls, charging along the walls, or jumping directly to the ground to engage in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents. Some are still resisting, others are crowding under the walls that have not yet been occupied by the enemy, slapping these solid boulders in despair.

"Put them away! Let's get out! ”

"No, I can't use my personal space!"

"And me, mine is also invalid!"

"Does anyone know which stone was originally used for doors? Remove it! ”

"It's useless! It's an enemy, it's an enemy who casts a disruptive ability! They're getting so close, we're being pinned! ”

"Flip out, we'll take a ladder to get out!"

He flipped out and became one of the lucky few to escape.

No, he stopped, I haven't escaped yet.

"Why did it stop? What do you think, thief? Let's go. The slave urged.

"Do you remember how many people were dispatched when the enemy first attacked us?"

"Remember, there are more than three hundred. I was in the front row, and I could see it clearly before the boulder was released. They're running fast. ”

"What about after putting away the boulder? How many corpses do you see? ”

"About a hundred, what do you want to say?"

"I want arithmetic. Three hundred people died a hundred, and even if the rest were wounded and healed by the priests, they would have been able to return to the battle yesterday. Were you pursued by the Speedy Powers as you fled? ”

"No, what about you?"

"Neither do I."

The two fell silent for a moment, "Thief, do you mean that they deliberately let us escape?" ”

"They definitely did it on purpose." He looked at the fortress in the distance, "Have you ever thought about it, what if that third-order person yesterday was their commander?" ”

"How is this possible? If it's really their boss, how can she be so close to people? You also saw it, up to two thousand. ”

"Just because there are only 2,000 people around her doesn't mean that she only brought 2,000 people with her. What did the others do when she was at war with us? He looked at the outline of the city wall in the distance, "The regimental commander said that when they came out, there were only a hundred people left in the fortress. ”

The slave's face turned pale, "We, aren't we going back to the fortress?" She asked weakly.

"It's not our fortress anymore." He gritted his teeth, "Let's go to the main city." ”

"Where's my leg?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you'll have to endure it a little longer."

He asked, turning around and striding away from the fortress.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, it's too unserious to always be a thief and a thief. What's your name? ”

"Raven, what's your name?"

"Lilacs."
