Disorganized chaos has a tendency to spread.

The news he got one after another made Chen Yin's heart sink to the bottom.

The bloody hands fled, and the mayor fled with a group of militia, and there were only five or six militiamen left in the whole town organized to fight against the rebellious mercenaries.

When they returned to Aunt Jiya's house and told them about the situation, the expressions of several people began to become depressed.

"How did you fight the Grey Orcs in previous years?" Chen Yin suddenly remembered that it seemed that the orcs would have some harassing behavior every day.

"The lord will lead his soldiers to exterminate the attacking gray orcs, and occasionally some fish that slip through the net will not be able to break through the town wall." Aunt Jiya replied, "But something must have happened this time, otherwise the bloody hand and the mayor would not have escaped together." There must be something we don't know, otherwise the mercenaries and the mayor would not have left their posts at the risk of being wanted by the lord. ”

"Yes, you're right!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, and a young man dressed as a militiaman, several other militiamen, and a bunch of old and young walked in.

The spacious courtyard suddenly became crowded.

"You guys?" Chen Yin suddenly found that this militia was very familiar, and after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that he was the leader of the six militiamen who guarded the gate before.

The leading militia suddenly fell to one knee. Behind him, the other militiamen and those old and young also knelt in front of Chen Yin.

"What is this for...... Chen Yin was stunned, "I have something to say, this is ......"

"Your Excellency, allow us to follow you." The militiaman bowed his head, "In order to get your protection, we are willing to offer our loyalty." ”

Chen Yin was stunned, he never thought that he would encounter such a thing, looking at the townspeople kneeling on the ground densely, he looked at Aunt Ji Ya a little overwhelmed.

"Let them follow"

"But ......" Chen Yin still hesitated.

"There's still a long way to go, and we need some manpower and logistics. Besides, these guys are all good guys, and they can definitely help. Aunt Jiya said.

Chen Yin looked around and found that sure enough, these militiamen are basically 102 or 201 attributes, especially the leader has a super high attribute of 202, and putting on a plate armor for him is the same as the attributes of the knight squire.

Looking at the militiaman named Jim, Chen Yin suddenly remembered something: "Do you know why the mayor of the town ran away?" ”

"It's because ...... The lord is missing. ”

"Missing!?" Chen Yin was stunned.

"Yes, a scout brother came back last night, bringing back news that the Orc Striker would be arriving in 5 days. Originally, he would not reveal this kind of news, but he was too seriously injured and lost contact with the lord, so he ran to Blackwood Town, and let the mayor bring the news to the lord, and then the people were out of breath. ”

Chen Yin had been surprised by the whereabouts of the lord before, but now he finally determined that Rhodes had simply given up all the townspeople here, because he had simply exterminated the invading gray orcs as he had done in previous years.

Now things have become complicated, Blackwood Town, which was originally in the rear, has now become the front line, and everyone has the possibility of becoming cannon fodder.

There is no time left.

There is no time left to waste.

Chen Yin finally made a decision.

The priority was to gather supplies and get out of this place as soon as possible, and the mercenaries and townspeople who were looting became a stumbling block.

"Aunt Jiya, you try to collect supplies, especially water."

"Okay." The aunt nodded.

"Then their safety is up to you, Uncle Tim."

"Hmm."

After explaining this, Chen Yin waved his hand and said to the militia leader who had just sworn allegiance: "You lead the way, and we will go and kill those troublemakers." ”

"Yes."

……

There were only a dozen mercenaries who did not escape.

They had been killed by Chen Yin before, but now there are less than 10 people, and under the guidance of the local militia, these mercenaries have nowhere to hide, and they were cleared by Chen Yin in less than half an hour. And the local rebels don't need Chen Yin's action, and those elite militias can suppress it.

In a town of only a thousand people, the chaos quickly subsided.

After learning the news that the lord had abandoned them, the inhabitants of the town had no time to grieve, and hurriedly packed their belongings and dragged their families on the run.

Regardless of their previous status, they now have a unified name, which is refugees.

People are extremely cheap when they leave their hometowns, and they don't know how many of these refugees will come back alive.

After packing his luggage and supplies, Chen Yin sat on the steps in silence.

Whether he came to Blackwood Town or went to the mayor's house to save people, Chen Yin's main purpose has never changed, that is, to find out the news of the witch. However, after going through so much, he found himself getting farther and farther away from his goal. Rhodes and Lancelot are missing, and now the Grey Orcs are facing the crush of the army.

No matter how you look at it, the chances of finding the lord's party become slim.

Then the hope of returning home naturally becomes even more slim.

"Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?" Little Susan suddenly came out from behind the door and ran to Chen Yin to sit down.

"Depressed." Chen Yin rubbed his face vigorously, "This place is about to become a battlefield, I ......"

"Your Excellency...... Thank you so much, please don't take your request to heart before, maybe, this is fate. Little Susan's face was still sad, but more strong, "You've helped us enough......"

Chen Yin was silent, not in the mood to speak, just messing up her hair with his hands. He really wanted to go home, but now he couldn't do anything about the situation in front of him. The word war was too far away for Chen Yin, so far away that he couldn't even imagine what war would look like.

Give up?

After all, I am not afraid of running out of firewood. But if you give up, you are really unwilling. What if Lancelot dies in the fire? What if the witch gets caught by that cunning guy?

But not giving up means facing all sorts of dangers - both the Grey Orcs and Lord Rhodes. If you continue to insist, it is easy to be sandwiched between the two warring forces, and you will be crushed to pieces if you are not careful.

"Your Excellency."

Chen Yin looked up and saw Uncle Tim, the owner of the voice. In his hand he carried a one-handed sword with an ornate scabbard. Seeing the uncle hand over this finely crafted one-handed sword to him, Chen Yin asked strangely, "This is?" ”

"This is a one-handed sword that I spent a whole quarter building, originally intended to pay taxes for little Susan's family, and now I'm giving it to you."

Chen Yin took the one-handed sword, pulled it out of its scabbard and swung it a few times.

"Great weapon." Chen Yin exclaimed.

Indeed, this "sophisticated" quality one-handed sword made Chen Yin know for the first time that the attack power of a weapon would exceed 2.

"Withdraw, the Grey Orcs are not so easy to deal with. Don't worry, that guy from Lancelot can't do anything else, running for his life is the most rewarding, and you will have a chance to take revenge on him in the future. ”

Although Uncle Tim misunderstood something, his words convinced Chen Yin.

After figuring this out, Chen Yin stood up and smiled mockingly.

"Let's go, it's important to escape."
