By daybreak, I had already seen the exit to the valley of the base, the result of a long night of light trekking, which had taken us two and a half days and a half of a forced march. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But such a forced march came at a very heavy price.

At the time of departure, the pathos of the collective suicide of the dozens of wounded was flooded throughout the team, and along the way, there were constantly wounded who could not support it, or who had just woken up, secretly ended their lives with a dagger, although I knew that it was their own decision, but I did not stop it because I knew it, and I cast a lingering sense of guilt in my heart.

The closer we got to night, the more people committed suicide, and in the end we had to check the breathing of the wounded every hour, while pushing some of the wounded out of the wagon who died silently through gritted teeth.

It's brutal, but there's no way.

Our speed continued to increase in the process, and in the end, there were only two of the immobile wounded in the ranks.

One is the old G, and the other is Tello, who was already struggling on the verge of death. Now there are only two and a half days left before his prophesied death date. But I just got the old G, and the guardian of the earth doesn't know where it is.

But what about the brothers?

Looking at the two of them, my heart fell into infinite contradictions and anxiety.

It was in the midst of such contradictions and anxieties that I finally saw the familiar, gradually narrowing valley, and after walking along this valley for more than half an hour, we returned home.

Only, is that still our home?

Unless, the guy opposite Tramesino also planted a dark line......

When the remaining guards of the Fourth Legion arrived, they could not help but be elated, and they all seemed to have been beaten with blood, and their voices unconsciously became louder, and it seemed to them that entering this valley was like entering the door of their own house, and soon they could see the brothers in the castle lowering the drawbridge and cheering to bring them flowers and medicines......

But that was impossible, and I had already seen the familiar watchtowers on the cliffs of the valley in the distance light up with red flags, spreading the news of us step by step.

"That's right, this is our base!" the knight who was the first to respond to me was excitedly telling Kress about the base, "Do you see the watchtower over there? There are people watching in three shifts all day, as soon as we enter the valley, they can see that the green flag is the return of friendly troops, and the red flag is an enemy attack, you see they are now showing the flag...... Oops, these bunnies, it's wrong, it should be the green flag! Which guy did it, drink too much, see how I clean up when I go back......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the cave carved in the mountain wall, and two arm-thick crossbow arrows whistled towards me, and at a glance I knew that they were fired by the bed crossbow.

I only had time to shout, "Stay hidden, prepare for battle!" and then leaned sideways in front of them.

Most of the arrow rain hit the mecha, and in the dense explosion like fried beans, it splashed in all directions, but some of the arrow rain still splashed on the unprepared comrades behind me.

I heard the rider who had been following me and the first to respond to me let out a short scream, and then fell under his horse with a thud, a crossbow bolt piercing his unprepared throat. The excitement and pride in his eyes that could not be concealed froze froze.

"!" I roared, but there was nothing I could do with this cave, this is the fourth legion's housekeeping skill, even if tens of thousands of people usually come, they may not be able to rush through, not to mention that we only have two or three hundred people now!

Then, two crossbow arrows, one flew over my head, smashing through one carriage and sending up a cloud of blood mist, and the other straight into my chest, and I heard a cacophony of shattering sound from the armor of the mech, and the jagged cluster of crossbow arrows stuck into it, and the blade stopped on the outer layer of my skin, but did not pierce the armor.

"Kress!" said as he pulled out the bolt, "Think of a way! The two bed crossbows are fired at a three-minute interval, and there are eleven more in them!"

Kress jumped off his horse, crawled behind my mech, and said, "Don't move, block the arrows for me!"

I immediately froze in place.

With a clear sound of "Zheng", a fat black crossbow arrow flew out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after flying dozens of meters in the air, it suddenly shook for a moment, and then, the position of the arrow cluster suddenly exploded, and a fine black steel nail shot into a cave like a rainstorm.

The rain of arrows in that cave soon stopped.

Kress shouted from between the sounds of the winch spinning as he wound his winding: "It's too far away here, I can't get rid of it deeper, you give me some closer!"

I answered, and a few more steps forward with a boom, and Cress fired another arrow in the gap, the same steel nail arrow, and at once dumb a cave where the bed crossbow was hidden.

But it was no longer possible to move forward, and a few more steps further entered the firing range of the crossbows of several other beds.

I was worrying when suddenly there was a roar and exclamation from the few remaining caves, followed by the clashing of blades, and in a few moments, dozens of corpses were thrown out of the caves.

I stopped and said, "Kress, you wait first, something must have happened!"

As he spoke, in one of the caves, a figure faintly appeared at the entrance of the dark cave, wearing a black cloak and holding a large sword in his hand.

"Emmons, go in quickly, all the caves on the outskirts of the valley have been taken by us at this moment. The voice said.

I nodded, waved my hand and let the panicked brethren behind me move on, just as the light of the rising sun shone into the cavern and allowed me to see the man inside.

With a big sword in both hands, his face was haggard, his black cloak was full of holes, and his face was covered with scars, as if he had just been tortured.

"William, why are you like this?" I exclaimed.

That's right, William, like Sephiroth, someone I can trust at any time!

"It's a long story......," the corners of William's mouth twitched, and he said: "All the people who are loyal to you, as well as Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu's henchmen, were locked up by those guys of the jury a few days ago, and I don't know who released them just now, don't delay, if you delay any longer, maybe Rachel's rabbit cub will close the door." It's a long story, and we'll talk about it slowly when we get to the base!" William rubbed his face and turned to walk into the depths of the cave.

Sure enough, it was Rachel! He was also the Inquisitor, so he kept coming up with the idea that I would take the men out of the base, and together with Tex, he would push me step by step to the foot of Paraven to meet with Tramercino and the others. I should have thought that because he and Tex were both Tramersino's men, it would be impossible for one Alvin Ann to hold down the whole team, so that he would pull back the large army, and let us brothers fight alone outside, fighting alone, knowing that only when the mountains and rivers are exhausted can we join Tracino.

In other words, the brothers of the pro-guard team can be said to have been killed by their joint efforts!

I looked back at the knight who had fallen to the ground, gurgling in his throat, his eyes glazed over, and sighed. I said, "Brothers, during the time we left, the base has been occupied by a conspiracy of despicable villains, and they want to block us out and kill them all!

The thirty or so soldiers of the pro-guard team were stunned, and their faces all showed sad and indignant expressions at the same time, and their teeth even clucked.

"Kill them!" a warrior suddenly roared, and then, as if it were alive, the words spread throughout the team in an instant.

"Then kill!" I roared, and ran first to the great gate at the end of the valley, and behind me, the hooves of the warriors seemed to fly.

At this time, a question suddenly popped up in my heart, who rescued William and them, and who was it that calculated our itinerary so accurately?

Turning the corner of the canyon in front of me, I saw at a glance the sound of fighting coming from every cave on the cliff on both sides, and there were many corpses scattered on the ground, like a road to death, and the battle was quite tragic.

These caves are connected to each other, and although they are separated by iron gates, they do not have the effect of effectively separating them. William: They look like they're in control.

By controlling these caverns, we can finally have some capital to fight.

As we came around the corner of the canyon, I heard a tumultuous commotion from the huge city wall, a terrible horn sounded, and the huge suspension bridge made a "click" sound and was slowly pulling up.

The gates have not yet been controlled by William!

I immediately let go of Kress and ran wildly, and now there was still four or five hundred meters of space from the drawbridge, and I watched it rise higher and higher off the ground.

"Drop the drawbridge!" I roared, but no one seemed to pay any attention to me.

I ran to the city gate, opened my armor, and shouted at the magnificent city wall more than ten meters high: "I order you, lower the drawbridge! I am Emmons, your captain!"

The commotion at the head of the city became louder, and after a while, a young man timidly replied from above: "You are a traitor!"

"Liars ......"

"Despicable coward!"

I burst into flames and pointed at the outcropping guy above and roared, "What are you talking about! Whose subordinate are you?

The young man leaned out and pointed at me and shouted, "You're a traitor......!

But before he could finish his words, a crossbow bolt suddenly appeared on his neck, and the huge momentum pulled his body backwards. There was another panicked commotion in the city.

"Damn......" I shouted behind me, "Kress, who told you to release the arrows!"

Kress pursed his lips and turned the winch to continue winding his metal crossbow. The knights, who had already reacted, jumped up to his side and raised their kite-shaped shields to shield him from the stray arrows that were shooting from the top of the tower.

I looked around, and there were only broken corpses and broken weapons everywhere, and I looked at the equipment of the men on the towers, who seemed to be doing well in the base.

I immediately caught a glimpse of the officer standing at the head of the city, and if I remember correctly, it was the guy named Fiona, who had been the Captain of the Seventh Brigade of the Fourth Legion, and now looked like he was on Rachel's side.

I shouted, "Fiona, I order you, lower the drawbridge, I'm Emmons!"

Fiona sneered and said, "You order me, you traitor, what qualifications do you have to order me?"
