Barlow got up early in the morning from the warm bed.
Kissing his sleeping wife beside him, he put on his thick clothes and pushed the door open.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the eastern horizon showed a light red. But when Barlow walked out into the street, he saw a lively scene of a sea of people.
“...... It's Barlow, good morning......"
“...... Boss, are you here, have you started your morning exercise......"
“...... It's so cold, I can postpone it a little bit tomorrow......"
......
As usual, Barlow either smiled and nodded, or replied casually. When he reached the white stone square at the front of the street, the burly man stood still, and he shouted, "Everyone stand in order, today's training has begun!"
As soon as the words landed, the scattered crowds around the square and on the streets on both sides immediately fell silent and began to move in an orderly manner. After some hectic chaos, the men of Rogue Town were lined up in a huge phalanx in order.
"Okay, listen to my orders. Take the east three rows as the leader, and the rest of the people pick up. From east to west, run around the town, and then everyone disperses......"
As soon as Barlow's loud voice came out, the phalanx he faced immediately moved, turning into a long dragon of people, and really ran from east to west.
As soon as the last column of men in the phalanx began to move, Barlow and the reservists around him immediately caught up.
Rogue Town is a small town, it has only one central street and a total of several hundred households. At the moment, most of the young men in the town were in this running team.
Every day of the week, they had to go through this training.
At first, this order came out, but there was a storm. But when the background of its release became known, the dust soon settled, like everywhere else.
The people of Roland World are no strangers to the "Giant Beast Siege". Even if they haven't experienced it firsthand, all kinds of stories have brainwashed them into how terrible this kind of thing is. Especially when they saw the "big butterflies" and "big ants" transported by the airship, the first reaction of many residents of Rogue Town was "Lord Lord, he is really a responsible person".
In addition, joining militia groups, as well as subsidies such as clothing and food, have caused many people to lose their immunity.
Wake up early in the morning?
It takes less than an hour to train, and it doesn't delay things, and it can cure laziness!
So, as Levi expected, they all "fell".
Alva opened the window and looked at the long line below, remembering what Anthony meant by "visionary."
In just one hour, hundreds of people scattered in various parts of the town, with different identities and statuses, could line up in a neat line without contradictions. How terrible would that be if that kind of organizational ability were used elsewhere? Alva shook his head. At least for this moment, he decided that his decision to stay here was the right one.
This man with a hideous scar on his face is in the town's hotel at the moment. It is a three-story stone building. Although it is only a dozen meters high, it can be regarded as a landmark building in Rogue Town.
As the group reached the bottom of the hotel, Alva whistled at Barlow, who was at the end of the group.
After a while, when the morning exercise team disbanded, Barlow took the initiative to knock on the door of his room.
"Why are you here, didn't you hear that you are doing well in Greystone City?" The burly middle-aged man, at a glance at the pattern embroidered on Alva's shoulder, immediately smiled and said, "Good guy, you have become a knight, it's only been a few years." When the time comes, don't forget about the brothers. ”
"What you say is just a knight's resignation, and it's far from a real knight. I'm a Galan, and I guess I'll stop there. But your brother is very imposing, and this is the command of the whole town. Alva smiled, and then returned to the point, "I'm here this time, naturally there is something wrong. To tell the truth, it was sent down from above. ”
Barlow was about to laugh a few words, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately became serious, "Can you talk to me?"
"Of course. If I can't, what am I going to do with your brother?" Alva also restrained his smile, "Lord Lord, I have asked me to keep an eye on what is going on here, he suspects that an enemy is coming. ”
"Where is the enemy-enemy?" Barlow was stunned, "Could it be that the lord has received word that the maned werewolves on the other side of the mountain are planning to attack here?"
The maned weolls in his mouth are humanoid intelligent species. They are generally two meters tall, and although they stand on two feet like a human, they have a wolf head and long hair all over their bodies, especially the mane on their backs, so they are called maned werewolves. Such aliens live in groups, but their colonies are only a few dozen people, usually for a huge family. The Maned Weolls are wise but as savage as they look, and with their terrifying strength, they have always been a scourge. However, due to the limited number and the lack of sophisticated weapons, it is not difficult to deal with.
"Maybe it's possible. Alva didn't deny it, "The lord didn't tell me much, only that I should be stationed here so that I could report something to him." ”
He also pretended to be mysterious, "I suspect this has something to do with not only the maned werewolves, but perhaps the upcoming upheaval." Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept me a secret. Besides, I'm telling it to your dude because I know that you, Barlow, are a reliable person, and you don't want to live up to my trust!"
Winter wolves are much more terrifying than maned werewolves. An adult winter wolf, with its arcane and strong physique, can wipe out an entire tribe of maned werewolves. So before coming, Anthony specially instructed him not to reveal the news of the attack of the winter wolf pack, and asked him to make up another statement.
"Don't worry, I know the depth of this kind of thing. "Anyway, if you need my cooperation, just speak up." ”
"Thank you. Alva laughed, then became serious, "Do you need me to show you the things on it? It's not a trivial matter......
"No, can I still not believe you?" Barlow laughed at the man in front of him, "Are you going out and looking down on your family." ”
"Where?" Alva laughed awkwardly.
The trust of the person in front of him gave him an urge to tell the truth. After all, Rogue Town is also half of his hometown. But when he thought of Anthony's instructions, Alva could only silently hold back the words to his heart.
If it weren't for his trust in Levi, who thought that the temporary concealment was to better solve the problem, he wouldn't have cared about these admonitions.
"By the way, speaking of which, have there been any strange things in town lately?"
"Really. Barlow replied, "Lately, the woolly sheep of the Abel family, and the big snowbirds of the Allen family, including the white needle pig raised by that fellow Angus, have been missing one or two every few days, and we have found some footprints on the ground that resemble winter wolves. Isn't it strange that this beast disappears in the winter? And one or two at a time, unlike what it does? It is a wolf attack, and not a single sheep in the whole sheepfold can live ......."
