Chapter 158: Escape
Just as Mei Yi closed her eyes in despair, several sharp sounds of breaking the air crossed overhead.
Seven or eight spears pierced the goblin hero's body, and it took a few steps back in pain.
Someone erected Meiyi and dragged her out of the wall.
Immediately, a cold female voice came: "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot all the arrows! ”
Betty couldn't help but cry loudly when she saw Meiyi covered in blood, she wet her handkerchief with water, and carefully wiped the blood from Meiyi's face.
Mei Yi struggled to open her eyes and saw the brightly armored Northern City army firing thousands of arrows, shooting the invincible goblin hero into a sieve.
Even so, the Goblin Hero didn't die, it just roared and smashed a gap in the south wall with an arrow and managed to escape.
It seems that there is no need to change the map for the time being.
Mei Yi thought.
As soon as his spirit relaxed, he could no longer open his eyes.
Brigitte, the female commander of the Beicheng army wearing light silver armor, looked at this small village and was secretly shocked: such a small village can actually take the little beast lord "Gaant" (Gia
t) It dragged on for so long, and even two small stone walls could not be broken through.
Legend has it that in the history of the subhuman kingdom, the little beast lord Garant once led the little beast to break through the walls of some small cities, ransacking the cities, slaughtering the citizens, and turning the prosperous land into hell.
When her eyes fell on Mei Yi, she felt some admiration in her heart. The most effective tactic against this monster is to use the Mithril Arrow to strike it from a distance, killing it so that even the best swordsmen dare not face it head-on.
And this strange stranger in Guli actually dared to fight hard with an ordinary long sword and Gaant, and he had not suffered any sword injuries on his body.
I don't know how long it took, Meiyi woke up.
Before he woke up, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Betty, who had been sitting beside him and guarding him, saw that he opened his eyes, and instead of shouting "Brother, you are awake" as Meiyi expected, she gently held his hand and put his hand on her face, tears flowed down her cheek.
Mei Yi asked with difficulty, "Where is this?" What about the others? ”
Betty wiped her tears and said, "We are in the North City, most of the people in the village have taken refuge in the North City, and some adults have gone back to rebuild the stone wall and clean up the bodies of the dead swordsmen...... Brother, don't be sad, Lord Brigitte said, this is already too good to be a good result. These Grand Juant are difficult for even the city to deal with. ”
"Big Gauant? Brigitte-sama? Mei Yi wondered.
"Just call me Brigitte," a tall, sword-wielding, white-haired, red-eyed, pointy-eared girl in her twenties walked into the room. She looked at Mei Yi's injuries and said, "It's good that you weren't slashed by the dirty sword in Gaant's hand, otherwise the goddess wouldn't have been able to save you." Garant is the goblin hero you call it, the lord of those little beasts. Where is your hometown? I've never seen a subhuman like you. ”
Mei Yi said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Brigitte." I'm just a stranger, and I can't go back to my hometown...... Don't mention it. ”
"Brother......" Betty saw Meiyi's lonely face, and suddenly felt distressed, and gently held his hand.
Brigitte said briskly, "If you don't mention it, don't mention it." You saved the village where I grew up, and I am so grateful to you. However, the appearance of Gaante indicates that the number of small beasts in the vicinity of the village has reached an alarming level. It won't be long before Gaunt invades again. We need your strength, and until then, please recuperate well at my estate. ”
Mei Yi smiled bitterly: "You didn't see me being kicked around like a ball, I had no power to fight back." ”
Laughing slightly, his chest hurt terribly, and he frowned tightly.
Brigitte said, "I heard from the villagers that after you confirmed the strength of Gaante with the sword in your hand, you immediately let everyone evacuate." Although your swordsmanship is not top-notch, it is very clean and decisive, and your on-the-spot judgment and decisiveness are also astounding. I believe Betty's words, you're not an ordinary subhuman. ”
After a pause, Brigitte said, "An ordinary subhuman swordsman can't block the three swords of Garante or drag Garante for a minute. Please think about it. You don't want the village you've lived in for more than a month to be abandoned like this, right? ”
With that, Brigitte walked out on her own.
Betty sat up gently with Meiyi in her arms as if she hadn't heard the conversation between Brigitte and Meiyi, brought a bowl of broth, slowly fed Meiyi to drink the soup, and sandwiched a few pieces of meat for Meiyi to eat.
Betty whispered to Meiyi, "Brother, get better soon." Before you leave, would you like to go out into town with Betty? We've been together for so long, and we haven't been to the city yet. ”
Mei Yi smiled: "Yes, I already feel much better." In two days, you should be able to get up. ”
Betty looked at the petals flying outside the window, moved her lips slightly, and asked, "Brother, you said that you can't go back to your hometown?" ”
"Hmm."
"What about my brother's family?"
"When you wake up from a dream, it's gone."
"Brother, you speak so hard. Did you have a sister before? ”
"Yes. Rose, Heatria. ”
Betty heard that it was Mary Heatria, and said, "Rose ...... Should I call her sister or sister? ”
"It should be called sister. She looks like she's probably two or three years older than you, but I really don't know how old she is. Meilu has been in my house for four or five years, and her appearance has not changed. ”
"Huh? My brother doesn't even know his sister's age? Don't you usually talk to your sister? No wonder they usually ignore me. ”
"No, she ignored me. In the four or five years we have been together, I have told her stories and teased her every day. Finally, one day, I made her laugh, and she was finally willing to talk to me, and she slowly integrated into the family. ”
"And where is Sister Meilu now?"
"Passed away."
"Brother...... Sorry, Betty shouldn't have asked. ”
Seeing Betty's depressed look, Mei Yi said, "It's okay, it's been a long time." I think I can cross this hurdle in my heart, so I will tell you. ”
Betty hugged Meiyi's arm and said softly, "Brother and Betty talked a lot today, Betty is very happy. ”
After chatting for a while, Mei Yi said, "Betty, now that the Beicheng Army is involved, we don't have to take risks. As much as Brigitte-sama says, I don't think I can do anything about it. All I can do now is help you find your sister. ”
Betty nodded, and said with a lonely face: "When Betty finds her sister, her brother will leave, right?" ”
Mei Yi said: "The royal city is so big, how can it be so easy to find?" We'll be together for a long time. Each of us will eventually be separated, and all we can do is cherish our time together, right? ”
Betty felt very uncomfortable, but nodded anyway, "Well, brother." ”
Under Betty's careful care, after three to five days, Meiyi has moved as usual.
He formally called on Brigitte, the owner of the manor and the military commander of the North City, and said, "Lord Brigitte, thank you for taking care of me and my sister. How is the situation in Koishi Village now? ”
Brigitte said: "You're welcome, Xiaoshi Village is my mother's home, where I was born and raised when I was a child. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for helping me evacuate my grandmother and grandfather to Beicheng safely. The two stone walls of Xiaoshi Village have been repaired. ”
Speaking of this, her face sank, "When our people went to the southern forest to investigate, they found a lot of footprints about the size of that little beast hero, but the outline was not exactly the same. I made a mistake in my judgment, and it may not be the Beast Lord you are fighting that day, but just a ...... How to put it, in your words, it's a little beast hero. ”
Mei Yi exclaimed: "The little beast hero is so powerful? ”
Immediately, he smiled bitterly, "Lord Brigitte, frankly, if I see that kind of thing again, I really don't have the courage to challenge it again." Frankly, I really don't want to see that kind of thing anymore. My swordsmanship is too mediocre. ”
Brigitte's two raccoon-like ears moved, her red eyes looked at Mei Yi, and said, "Stranger, I see your sword." Holding a crude iron sword made by an ordinary blacksmith in the village, he carried a few swords of the little beast hero, but it was still not broken. This kind of swordsmanship is simply unheard of, where is it mediocre? ”
Mei Yi bypassed the topic and asked, "What is Beicheng going to do?" Large-scale slaughter of small beasts? ”
Brigitte sighed, "It's hard. These little beasts are scattered in various caves and burrows in the southern forest during the day, and they are nowhere to be found. The critters will also spy on the villages near the Southern Forest, and if the northern city wants to garrison the villages, they will not come. After a long time, supply is a big problem. Is there anything you can do? ”
Mei Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Where did these little beasts come from?" Is there a way to eradicate it completely? If you just deal with it passively, the village will never be at peace. If the village is occupied by small beasts, the food source of Beicheng will be cut off. I looked at the map of the northern city, which is far from other cities......"
Brigitte pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think it's possible for the little beast to besiege the North City?" ”
The officers around Brigitte all showed disdainful smirks, and Mei Yi blushed a little and said, "Your Excellency, my Minister of War...... I'm sorry, but I think it's important to be prepared for the worst and prepared. I was a little scared that night. ”
Brigitte keenly caught the words "My Minister of War" that Mei Yi said, and her heart shook violently, but her face was as calm as water, and she just said lightly: "I have sent someone to step up the investigation, and I will never let the fastest situation appear." If necessary, we hope you can help us. ”
Mei Yi said: "There is naturally no problem with this. After all, it's Betty's hometown, and I've been cared for by her for so long, so it's only right to do something for her hometown. However, I also promised to accompany Betty to the royal city to find her sister, and if something happens to me, I hope that Brigitte-sama will fulfill this promise on my behalf. ”
Brigitte said cheerfully: "This is no problem. I will immediately write to my friends in Wangcheng and ask them to help me find them. But, Meiyi, you're too lacking in our North City, aren't you? ”
Mei Yi didn't answer Brigitte's words, but said, "Also, please keep those words from Betty just now." ”
Brigitte nodded slightly. Looking at the back of Mei Yi leaving, she said in her heart: Who is this stranger? Judging by his bearing, it is not as simple as just a stranger.
If it's a celebrity, why haven't I heard of such a number one person in the kingdom?
