"Where's your master, big one?"

"Dead!" the giant officer yelled, turned around and pressed out the little fighting energy that was still in his body, and slashed down a rushing Resistance soldier with another sword, and finally lost his strength and was knocked down by the horse, his helmet crooked to cover his eyes, and now he could no longer see everything outside.

Rhodes stepped on him as he lost his vision, raised his steel sword, found the narrow slit in his helmet, and calmly stabbed into it despite the struggles of the other man, ending the big man's life.

"Find their commander, kill him and leave, don't fight!" a small man in a helmet shouted loudly on his horse, and approached, "Rorik, why are you here?"

The Resistance soldiers relied on their numerical superiority to push the Imperial force into the corridors between the houses of the village, but the well-trained red-clad soldiers quickly formed a group to protect themselves according to the pattern of street fighting training, and soon stabilized their positions, and the battle was in a stalemate for a while...... Rhodes began to hold his sword vigilantly, fearing that the resistance would turn against him, but when he heard a familiar voice, his surprise overwhelmed his nervousness: "Are you?"

"Your forever friend, Sir Rowick. The little man took off his helmet, revealing the face that Rhodes had seen for the third time.

It turned out that it was not a small man, but a dwarf: "Hawke!"

"This is not a place to catch up, we got a message from the villagers to intercept and kill the son of the commander of the Imperial Vanguard Legion, do you see others?"

"He ......," Rhodes looked at the young officer lying on the ground, hacked to death by his own cerebral congestion.

"You killed him, but why...... Forget it, I don't care why. The dwarf opened his mouth, regained his composure, and turned back to his companions and shouted, "The target has been killed, retreat! No fighting, retreat at once! Rorik, come with us." ”

"Oh, good!" Rhodes jumped up at the horse standing at the corner of the yard.

"Big brother, wait for me!" Nikita rushed out of the hiding room, and if she hadn't jumped out, the boy might have forgotten about her.

The Resistance has the upper hand here, but the area has long been occupied by the Imperial Army, and soon more red-clad soldiers will arrive to support them from all directions, and they must leave as soon as possible. Rhodes dragged the little girl on his horse, followed Hawke, left behind the corpses of his own people and enemies, quickly withdrew from the village, and fled to the north.

......

"Why are you in this place?" Hawk Blackstone asked Rhodes in confusion on his horse, "The morning after you were blinded in the arena, I finally called a large group of brothers there to try to break into the arena prison to rescue you, but I heard that you ran away!"

"yes, I ran a few hours before dawn. Rod touched the backpack on his waist with his hand, and the little fox was so frightened that he shrunk in it and didn't dare to move.

"It's a pity, passing by. But it's good that you're okay, you know, the people who tortured you later died inexplicably, and the warden was hung into the sky by magic, but he didn't immediately lose his breath, but he didn't eat or drink and finally starved to death, and I heard that he still hangs in the air and rots. His family invited many mages to try to put him down, but each of them came to take a look at him and then turned around and left, not even daring to cast a spell to send food and water to the heavens for him to eat and drink. The dwarf had a strange expression, but said with relief: "As for the master of the arena, I went to chase you in the morning and didn't catch you, and when I came back, I went crazy, first threw my sister Countess Leonard into the arena and was killed by a bunch of men, and then went down by myself, and personally singled out a few rare beasts transported from other places......"

"How so, and then?"

"What else can you think later, all of them are fierce people like you, he was bitten to death without even a few swings of his sword, his body was snatched and torn apart by several beasts caught on the edge of the no-man's land of Boundary Mountain, and not even a single intact bone or scalp could be found afterwards, that scene was really bloody enough...... You really should check it out. ”

Rod imagined the scene, and although he felt happy, his scalp was still a little numb: if he hadn't escaped, he would have to face these things.

"Later, Her Majesty...... To be precise, the 'Guardians' also ordered you to find you, where are you hiding?"

"I've been hunted down by unknown people, where do you dare to take the lead!"

"Yes...... Alas. ”

"This is Rorick Hart?" another Resistance officer next to him asked with an unkind face, "That King Assassin, the man we were looking for all over the world the other day?"

"There was a real change, and I didn't recognize it at first sight. The dwarf agreed, "But he's not a king assassin, I'll make it clear here, whoever dares to touch him is the enemy of the Blackstone dwarves, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship of my colleagues!"

"Hmph. ”

Rhodes glanced at the very unfriendly Resistance soldier and frowned, he had wanted to infiltrate the Resistance and escape from the Imperial army first, and then find a chance to slip away and go home, but now that he was recognized, it was not easy to do.

"Hawke, why did you join the Resistance?"

"Although I didn't make it to the top eight in the tournament, I didn't rank as the queen mother, and after I was eliminated, I was selected to join the dwarven infantry brigade directly under the king, and I was directly loyal to King Elite...... Unfortunately, he was assassinated within a few days of his enlistment, and then we switched allegiance to the new queen, and after the Antelli army received an inexplicable surrender order, many soldiers left the army and followed the queen to form the resistance. ”

"I'm not asking about the process, I'm just wondering: you're a dwarf, why should you get involved in the battle between the two countries. ”

"That's a strange question, I'm a dwarf, but race and nationality are not necessarily related. My parents live in Anteli and have a regicide of the kingdom, and I was born an Anteli man, although to be precise, Anteli dwarves, but I also have the right to choose to defend the country. ”

"But a lot of humans aren't friendly to dwarves. ”

"That's only a small part, and the overall policy of the rulers of the kingdom towards the dwarves is relatively friendly. I can't hate all of humanity just because a few of the lower human gangsters have troubled me and fought with me - just as enlightened humans don't despise our whole race just because some dwarves steal chickens and dogs. Not to mention the fact that there are fellow Resistance soldiers like me, and friends like you who are both upright and brave, worthy of fellowship, aren't they? ”

"That's a good thing the dwarven uncle said!" said Nikita, holding his horse by the neck, completely forgetting that he had almost been raped not long ago.

"I'm not an uncle!it's just that the dwarves are older!" Hawke protested dissatisfied, "Who is this girl, Rorik?"

"Picked up on the road...... You can't call anyone uncle, you know? Rod snapped Nikita's head, and I have to say that he would feel nothing if others praised him for being handsome, but he was really useful when he was praised for his integrity and bravery, "How did the rebels hide from the Midland army?"

"Hide in the forest, don't ask, you'll know when you get there. The dwarf said, "You have done a great job today, and the queen should not be embarrassed by you." ”

Embarrassed him?Rhodes thought of the girl with an innocent smile and whispered into his ear to gossip about the chief mage of the court, and he couldn't imagine how that cute little girl could embarrass himself.
