In the year 27986 of the Xizhi calendar, it has been six years since the Age of Discovery. As the powerhouses on the continent continued to converge on the Sivir Sea, the entire continent became more and more chaotic. If the ocean is the pinnacle of the five empires, then the continental war has become the best place for them to ensure the smooth progress of the ocean battle. For the secret of the "king of the world", if there is a certain empire that is not tempted, it is simply a joke, it is for the sake of hegemony, and the competition on the ocean is cruel. However, the war for hegemony on the mainland was also extremely fierce. Although some kind of agreement was reached, the temptation of the "king of the world" could have caused the empires to break that last insistence. In the past six years, at the beginning, the world was relatively quiet, but just two years ago, an unprecedented war broke out between the Dongsheng Empire and the Northern Frontier Empire. The other three countries joined the war in accordance with the Covenant of Assistance signed in the past. As a result, the entire continent has also entered an era of unprecedented chaos. The cruelty of the war torments all the people on the Xizhi continent, and there are countless displaced people. For the continental war, which had been going on for two years, the small cities on the frontiers of the empire were directly impacted.

Wushi City was located on the western frontier of the Nanchen Empire, and after advancing twenty kilometers to the west, it entered the territory of the Western Extension Empire. According to the Covenant of Assistance signed between the Southern Dust Empire and the Dongsheng Empire, the Southern Dust Empire was also involved in the war six months after the war began. The Xiyan Empire, also based on the Assistance Pact signed with the Dongsheng Empire, joined the war shortly after Nanchen joined the war. As for the Zhongsheng Empire, which occupies the central region of the continent, a year after the outbreak of the war, when the national strength of various countries was greatly consumed, it suddenly announced that it would join the war as a third power. Although many strategic analysts have not yet understood the intentions of the Zhongsheng Empire, it is undeniable that the war that stirred up the entire continent has entered a wonderful equilibrium after the Zhongsheng Empire joined. Unfortunately, although a certain equilibrium has been reached, and major wars have to be temporarily stopped, small local wars have occurred from time to time, and the troops stationed on the frontier often send the so-called Autumn Wind Brigade to plunder the enemy country in the name of bandits. As such a frontier city, Wushi City is naturally often harassed by this kind of attack. However, even if it is a small city, it is a frontier city in Nanchen after all, and it is also heavily guarded in terms of urban military defense. But the surrounding small villages have to face a miserable situation.

In the early morning, smoke rises, and the occasional duck rattle can be heard. Several of the women were washing clothes by the pond at this time, occasionally chatting about the secrets of their circle. In a family at the end of the village, the man got up early and went to work in the fields. The hostess held a little baby girl in her arms, humming a song and breastfeeding. The man's mother was preparing today's breakfast in the kitchen at this time.

"Giggle...... Giggling...... "The loud rooster crow suddenly came from the chicken, hearing this sound, a five-year-old boy ran to the chicken pod excitedly, and after tinkering for a while, took out a fresh egg, ran to the breastfeeding hostess, and excitedly shouted: "Mommy, Mommy, egg, egg!"

The hostess looked at the little boy with a smile, took out one and touched the child's hair, and said, "Child, give this to your grandmother, and let her cook it for you." ”

When the little boy heard his mother's words, he was a little unhappy and said, "No, give it to my mother, and then my sister to eat." ”

The boy's mother was a little stunned when she heard this very immature voice, and then smiled: "Well, my little moon is really good. "In such a small border village, some of the poultry raised by the family are reluctant to eat, and they are usually picked up by the male owner during the festival and sold to the people in the city. The eggs laid by these poultry are either sold to supplement some household needs, or they are supplemented when a family member is sick and in urgent need of nutrition.

The little boy's mother was born Li, but after marrying, she changed her name to Lu. Lu added a member to the family not long ago, and at this time it was in the confinement period. Confinement is a critical period in a woman's life, her body functions are very fragile, and at the same time, she has to breastfeed, so she has relatively large requirements for nutrition. But in such a small village in the middle of nowhere, most of the eggs they can take out are those laid by the poultry. Especially for their family, the source of nutrition depends on this only hen. After Lu Yuexian gave birth to her little sister and learned that the eggs laid by the hen could not provide nutrition for her mother, she could often see him staring at the chicken, and when he heard a loud "......clucking" sound, he would take out the egg as soon as possible, as if he was afraid that the egg would run away.

Hearing the sound of chickens, Lu Yuexie's grandmother walked out of the kitchen and said to Lu Yuexie with a smile: "Good grandson, to grandma, now the stove is booming, just cook soup with eggs, and then your mother and you can both eat." Although grandma smiled, her face was a little gloomy when she looked at Lu Yue's thin body.

Two kilometers from the village, a small group of border guards from the Western Extension Empire was hiding in a grove by the roadside. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the avenue, and after looking around, it sneakily flashed into the forest. Then I heard only one person ask, "Xiaolin, how is the result of the investigation?"

"Captain, there are no soldiers in this village, all ordinary peasants. In addition, according to my eyesight, we should have a good harvest this time. The figure bowed to the man he called the captain.

"Okay, okay, we came out to fight the autumn wind this time, and after walking for so long, we finally found a good target. Cheer up, you, and you, you guys sneak into their fields and ...... the men," said the captain, making a virtual gesture with his hand.

"Understood!" the named men received the order and dived into the nearby fields, where there were more than a dozen peasants doing farm work. Although it was early in the morning, it was faintly visible that they were already sweating at this time. It seemed to be feeling a little tired, and a few people had stopped and sat aside to rest. Then I heard a middle-aged man say to a young man who was still busy: "I said Xiao Lu, why are you working so hard, come, sit down and rest, look at you, your upper clothes are all soaked." When the man who was busy hearing this, he didn't stop the guy in his hand, but only heard him say: "Uncle Wang, there is one more mouth in the family, so it's not okay to do more." After saying that, he hoeed the ground a few more times. After hearing this, the person known as Uncle Wang smiled and said, "Their old Li family is so blessed, they have such a good son-in-law as you." By the way, why didn't that kid come to my house recently, I haven't seen him for a few days, I wonder about that kid. When the young man surnamed Lu saw his uncle Wang asking about Yuexie, he temporarily stopped the work in his hand, and only heard him say: "This kid doesn't know what's going on, since he has a little sister, he has been staring at the chicken every day, saying what to wait for the chicken to lay eggs and supplement nutrition for his mother." As he spoke, the young man surnamed Lu laughed, and then took the hoe again and continued his farm work. "Heh! I didn't expect this Xiao Yuexian to understand ...... so well" The voice stopped abruptly, and the young man surnamed Lu was about to raise his head, and heard a few muffled snorts, and then he saw a saber flashing with cold light slashing towards him, "poof......" The knife slashed at his neck, but for some reason, that person didn't cut flat, but controlled the saber to cut down, and then the saber was stuck by the collarbone, so that he couldn't shout, and he could only watch the few soldiers in front of him wearing the military uniforms of the Xiyan Empire disappear quickly, sneaking towards other people who were doing farm work. Blood ran down his hand, calloused from his toil, and some sweat mixed with it to the hoe, or to the land he had worked on all his life. "Moon Slope...... Mother...... Wife...... Daughter's ......" thoughts gradually blurred until he fixed on the daughter he had not seen a few times, and finally the whole vision finally dimmed. The soldier drew his saber and kicked his target, and when he was sure of death, he immediately shrank back and dived towards his new target. The silent slaughter continued in the calm farmland, and after a few minutes, all the busy figures had disappeared.

In the woods, everyone was already on their horses, and when the leader saw that several people in the farmland had sent a message to complete the task, he immediately drew his saber, turned to everyone behind him, and said, "Kill everyone you see, rush!" After speaking, everyone behind this person rushed towards the village.

The women who were washing clothes in the pond at the entrance of the village did not notice the accident in the field, so they had no idea that their men had left this world forever.

"Tuk ...... The sound of horses' hooves was heard ...... hurry, and the women looked curiously towards the entrance of the village, and when they found out that it was the army of the Xiyan Empire, they immediately screamed. But soon, their voices were drowned out by the cold swords.

The movement at the entrance of the village soon attracted the attention of the villagers, who heard the screams and went out to watch, and when they saw the horrific scene, the women, in addition to screaming, ran directly to the end of the village with the children. The men, on the other hand, took up the weapons they could find and put up useless resistance. At this time, they did not expect to be able to drive these soldiers away, nor did they expect to be able to live, they just hoped to buy a little time for their wives and children to escape.

At the end of the village, Lu Yuexian was looking at his sister who had just finished breastfeeding for a moment, and at this time, he heard his grandmother say: "The egg soup is cooked, good grandson, go, go to the door and call your father to come back for dinner." Lu Yuexian said "um", came to the door, and was about to tear open his immature voice to call his father, but saw the terrifying scene at the head of the village. Many of the men on the horses kept slashing at the uncles, uncles, and grandfathers with their strange blood-soaked scimitars. There were also a lot of screams. At this time, Lu Yuexie's mother heard the screams and came to the door, when she saw this terrifying scene. His face changed miserably, and he immediately went back to the house to pick up his daughter, who was already asleep. And shouted: "Mother-in-law, the moon is slanting, quick, quick, run back to the mountain, the army of the Xiyan Empire is the army of the Xiyan Empire." ”
