Volume 1 Kailin Town 008 Lorna: Battle of Kailin
Just as Locke meets Kyle, Fredden flies back to town.
In the air, you can clearly see the damaged houses and courtyard walls, from the Fude Grilled Fish Shop in the center of the town to the east gate of the market, which should be formed by the brute collision.
Freden understood that he had to find Uncle Forde as soon as possible, he was the loudest man in the town, and with this "skill", the whole town knew him.
However, Fude Grilled Fish Restaurant is not open today?
Fredden landed on the flag of the grilled fish shop and found a little smoke coming from the grill below, but the shopkeeper was not there, and there was no grilled fish.
There seemed to be an unusually small number of people in the town today, and Fredden looked for a long time, but did not see a single resident.
Could it be that everyone has been arrested?
"Fredden!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the nearby rooftop, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
Fredden turned his head to look and saw a man, armed with a bow and arrow, lying on the roof.
"Lona!" Fredden flew over, "why are all the people in this town gone?"
The black paint on Lorna's face had not yet been wiped off, but it could be seen that he was a little haggard, probably because he had not slept all night to find his son. Next to him, there were several quivers, as if waiting for a fierce battle.
"Everybody is hiding. Lorna observed the surroundings and said cautiously, "There will be a barbarian army to sack Kailin at night, so you should go quickly." β
"Lorna," Fredon hesitated, and said to him, "I see Locke." β
"What?" Lorna turned to look at the white bird, his eyes wide, "where is he?"
"He asked me to inform everyone that the bandits were going to attack the village. "He seemed to be in a hurry, running north." β
"The North," Lorna pondered, "where is he going?"
"Lorna, you should hide quickly, too. Fredden looked in the direction of Lef Volcano to the east, it was approaching dusk, and there was a dead silence around him, and it seemed to have a premonition of something, "I'm sure Locke must have something to do!"
"No, Freden. Lorna said calmly, "I need you to do me a favor." β
"What's the busy?"
"Go to Locke and tell him not to come back to this town, it's dangerous. β
"What are you talking about, Lorna, I won't promise you!" Fredden took two steps back, "Locke said he would find a way to protect the town, and I trust him! β
"He's still a kid, how can he protect the town?" Lorna was excited with helplessness, "You go to him, I don't know how long it will last." β
"Lorna... Why are you so selfish?"
Fredon couldn't believe that Lorna wanted Locke to stay away from the town when danger was imminent, and that he was the only hope to save Kailin.
"Fredden," Lorna didn't dare to look it in the eye, "the beard is dead..."
Fredon froze suddenly, motionless.
"There are a lot of things that we can't change. But as long as you survive, there's always hope, isn't it?"
Freden stopped talking, stepped back, stepped back to the edge of the roof, flapped his wings and flew.
Forde is dead, and Fredden doesn't know where he's going, and the grilled fish shop is his home, and now, it's just an empty house.
The big white bird flew into the air and circled over the entire town of Kailin, screaming and sounding very desolate.
"Fredden, go find Locke!" shouted Lorna as he looked at Fredden above.
Suddenly, a trumpet sound broke the silence from a distance, and Lorna immediately lowered his head, he knew that the enemy was coming.
In the distance, in the direction of the Lefu Volcano, the dust was rolling along the way, rolling towards the town of Kailin, and it was impossible to see how many enemies there were.
Lorna mounted his arrow, aiming his arrow at the East Gate, waiting for the first enemy to rush in.
Appeared!
Several gray wolves rushed towards the town, and the leader wolf had a fierce expression, as if he wanted to hunt everything.
With a "whoosh", Lorna's arrow shot out, piercing the wolf's head accurately.
The wolves behind suddenly panicked, and they all stopped, standing next to the corpse of the head wolf, not daring to step into the east gate, they did not know which direction the arrow was shooting from.
Lorna carefully hitched on the second arrow and aimed it at the other wolf,
"Whoosh!"
The sound of arrows cutting through the air was harsh, and the wolves seemed to catch the sound,
But before he could dodge, another wolf fell. This time, they confirmed that the arrow was flying from inside the street of the mayor of the market.
Seeing the remaining wolves retreating, Lorna didn't want to show mercy, he planned to continue drawing arrows and kill them all.
"Found you, coward!"
Suddenly there was a wild roar behind him, and Lorna had a premonition that someone was coming at him, and quickly drew a third arrow.
A brute climbed onto the roof, raised his axe and prepared to slash at Lona,
Lorna quickly flipped to his feet and shot at him with his bow drawn, and the brute fell, the arrow piercing his heart.
"Here! on the roof!" Lorna looked around, unexpectedly so many bandits had already infiltrated.
He quickly set up his arrows and fired them at the barbarians rushing below, and the arrows missed, and each one hit the vital point.
But there were so many enemies that Lorna alone had no way to resist them, so he had to find a way to lure them out of town.
The east gate is impossible, the number of enemies over there has not yet been clarified, and the barbarians who infiltrated the town should have sneaked in from the west gate. To the south was a flat area, and if you escaped, you would be caught sooner or later, and only the river in the north might be able to stop the group.
Lorna grabbed a new quiver, jumped from the low house, stepped on the corpse of the bandit, and ran north.
A group of strong men chased after him, and there was a roar like a wild beast in his mouth.
"Don't run, coward!"
"Kill him!"
...
As Lorna ran, he shot arrows backwards, and the bandits fell along the way, but the number of pursuers did not decrease, and they swung their weapons and smashed through the loose low walls and wooden doors, surging like wild beasts.
Suddenly, the houses in front of them began to catch fire, and the wooden houses were instantly set on fire in the dry environment.
"Lorna, run here and burn them!" shouted from the residents ahead.
It turned out that it was the townspeople themselves who set the fire.
They had had enough of the oppression and decided to fight back with their lives.
Lorna quickly passed through the burning house, and the fire was so strong that occasional sticks or hay fell on Lorna's cloak and body, but there was not a trace of burns.
However, the barbarians behind them had been burned to the ground with a wail, and no matter how strong their bodies were, they could not resist the erosion of the fire.
The bandits' pursuit was blocked, but Lorna knew it was only temporary. The town is so big, there's always a way for them to catch up.
"Quick, Lorna, Uncle Fidy's fishing boat is waiting for us in the north!" said the villagers who had fled with them and turned to Lorna.
It turned out that when Lorna asked everyone to evacuate, they were ready for battle.
Now, Uncle Fidi's fishing boat has become their last hope, and only by catching this boat can they have a chance to escape from the pursuit.
But...
"What about the fishing boats?"
Lorna and his party came to the northern creek, which was thirty meters wide, and it was clean and clean, without any boats.
"Did they drive away?"
Lorna approached the river, looked farther away, and suddenly,
He felt something floating up from under the water...
"Let's go!"
By the time Lorna realized it was a bandit, it was too late.
Several strong men jumped out of the water and smashed the inhabitants on the shore with chain hammers wrapped in cobblestones.
Lorna couldn't dodge it, was hit right on the right side, and fainted...
...
"I don't know, I really don't know anything..."
"I didn't do it, I've been hiding at home..."
Lorna slowly regained consciousness, and his ears were filled with all sorts of whining, roaring, and even the sounds of beasts...
He opened his eyes, and this was outside the east gate of Kailin.
It was already dark, countless torches were burning in the night, and countless barbarians gathered in a big circle,
In the center of the circle is Lona, who is tied to a cross, surrounded by dozens of embarrassed townspeople who are bent down and bowed.
They trembled, cried, and begged for forgiveness, but the mountain people didn't seem to want to be merciful.
A bald head with a wooden stick came out of the crowd, and he was none other than Gordon, who was chasing Locke yesterday!
Golden dragged two corpses and threw them in front of the group of residents, followed by a man with messy hair who also dragged two corpses.
"Blood debt and blood repayment..."A deep voice came from behind the crowd of people, and the mountain people gave way.
A strong man riding a wild wolf entered the circle, his eyes were deep, revealing an extremely vicious gaze, the gold rings on his ears seemed to be bigger than the bracelets, the black hair just covered half of his face, all the way closer, the scimitar in his right hand dripped blood all the way, the blood seemed to be still warm, and the gray wolf under the seat also leaked blood-stained fangs, which seemed to be very eager for the humans in the circle.
"Tell me, how they died. He asked, pointing to the corpses of the four mountain men on the ground.
The bald head stepped forward and saluted:
"General Goshou, they were led to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain by a child and killed!"
Ge Xiu is the deputy general of the Ge clan, and his elder brother is the "Abyss Roar" Gobir, the brutal chief who makes people dare not look at each other.
Gosho got off the wolf's back, circled around the residents in the center of the pen, and quickly grabbed a child of about twelve years old, it was Billy, Locke's good friend Billy.
"Is that the kid?"
He tugged at Billy's clothes and lifted him above his head, glaring viciously, the knife in his right hand seemingly on standby.
"It's not me, General!" cried and pleaded, "I haven't been out of the house all day, it's really not me..."
Golden stepped forward and looked at it, shaking his head,
"No, General, it's a kid who can shoot arrows!"
Gosho threw Billy down and walked towards Lorna, who was tied to the cross.
Billy was slammed to the ground, covering his mouth so hard that he didn't dare to make a sound.
"A kid who can shoot arrows..."Gosho walked up to Lorna, fierce with a hint of surprise, "In this world, there are still people who can shoot arrows!"
Lorna also glared at Gosho, without any cowardice in his eyes.
"General, that kid must have something to do with this hunter!" Golden fanned the flames, hoping to clear his name of killing the bearded man.
"Huntersβ" Gosho looked into Lorna's eyes carefully, as if trying to find something in them, "Sure enough, it's the toughest race in the world!"
"Once the war starts, it can't be stopped. Lorna looked at Gosho and said calmly, "Gosho, let them go!"
The corners of Ge Xiu's mouth smiled slightly, and he took a few steps back, facing countless clansmen,
"The mountain tribes will not take the initiative to make trouble!" he shouted at everyone, his voice like the roar of a wild beast, "but now that my people have been killed, they will pay back tenfold!"
After speaking, Ge Xiu quickly turned around and slashed at the crowd with a knife.
