As a result, only nine people decided to stay in the Free City, and the rest chose other ways out. Before leaving, Bills called Yuri aside alone, handed him the backpack he was carrying, and said lightly: "Be careful on the road." And he took eight men with him.

Yuri opened the cloth bag, and his eyes instantly moistened. In the backpack was a lot of copper plates mixed with this small amount of silver coins, which was the money that Beers had saved over the years. Looking at Bill's back, Yuri's instinctive backpack in his hand became heavier.

"I'm sorry, young master. My subordinates have failed to live up to your hopes for me. You want to make the Mandala Mercenary Group stronger, but you're actually trying to get revenge. However, his subordinates felt that the mercenary road was not easy to follow, and it was extremely risky. You may blame me, but I think it's all about saving the lives of our people right now. Bills thought bitterly in his heart.

........................

There are undercurrents surging on the continent, and people are actively or passively preparing for what may happen in the future. Almost all of the territories are engaged in large-scale conscription, food requisition, and even a policy of reckless militarism has begun in many territories in order to gain more benefits in the subsequent storm. Even the most ordinary civilians could feel the oppression on the eve of this storm.

However, not everyone can participate in this predation. When everyone thinks that they are hunters and others are prey, if not the world has gone mad, then everyone is blinded by huge interests.

"This is the worst time for us, because we need to be on the lookout for the big nobles to get their hands on us. But again, this is also the best time, because for us bandits, it is easy to fish in troubled waters......" Augustus analyzed the pattern of the continent today to the people around him.

Augustus, who was skilled in military strategy, quickly integrated into the cottage and gave a lot of advice to the cottage. William also listened to Augustus's speeches in this group of people, and asked his own questions from time to time, and Augustus was very patient and serious in explaining these to William.

William was thinking about Augustus's words, and Leha called William to him with a gloomy face and said, "Come with me, there are some things." After saying that, he walked away on his own. William followed Reha to the Hall of Righteousness with a blank face, and saw an old acquaintance, Laughron. William's heart instantly turned like Reha's face.

There were a few other people in the righteous hall besides Floweren, but the magician who humiliated William last time was not present, William's eyes swept over these people, most of them were people from several other cottages on Turan Mountain, and he understood seven or eight points in his heart, but he was secretly worried about Floweren's efficiency. There was one of them, but William had never met. It was a woman, with chestnut shoulder-length hair behind her, and a soft armor that reflected her almost perfect figure. It's just that this woman has a mask on her face, so I don't know what she looks like, but looking at the part of her face that is exposed, she is a beauty.

When Floweren saw William, a smile immediately appeared on his face, which was an undisguised mockery. He did have reason to laugh, after all, in just a few days, he had pulled the other four families on Turan Mountain to his side, and now five of the six cottages on Turan Mountain had been united, how long could William alone last in this place? However, his ridicule only lasted for three seconds.

The first second he sneered, Reha's expression became very strange. The second second, several people behind Reha shook their heads and sighed. Third Second......

"Smack!" a crisp and loud slap slap struck Floweron in the face, instantly deforming his face and spitting out a few teeth by the way. Floweron, who was violently attacked, flew up with his body, and then slammed to the ground, his face hitting the ground first. One side of the face was instantly swollen in the shape of a palm, and the other side was also bruised.

Before Floweren could stand up, William took a few quick steps forward, grabbed Flower's collar with one hand and pulled him up half of his body, feeling still unrelieved of his hatred, so he made two "snaps" on Flower's face, and when Flower's face was swollen on both sides, he shouted: "Don't you know how ugly you look, don't you even dare to smile at me?!!!

William's slap completely stunned Floweren, and the people next to him were also stunned. How have you ever seen this kind of meeting and beating people first without saying a word? Even in your territory, you are too arrogant. It's just that the expressions of Leha and the few people behind him are taken for granted.

William does have a good temper, but that's for his own people. ...... to outsiders Beckett is a living example of this. And Xiang Lauren, the two sides already have some grudges, and William can make a move after he shows a mocking expression, which is enough to show that William has a good temper.

"Mr. William. The woman on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and said, "You are so arrogant, no wonder your cottage on Turan Mountain is isolated." "I have to admit that this woman's voice is very good.

"Who are you?" William looked coldly at the masked woman.

"It doesn't matter who I am, I'm here to tell Mr. William and your copycats. Five cottages on Mount Turan have decided to surrender to the Marquis of Sauron, and Lord Sauron has hired dozens of bounty hunters to give trouble to those who still refuse to obey. Ah, by the way, some of these people think that there are magicians and a few killers with good skills. Originally, I wanted to fight for Marquis Sauron again, but now it seems that I don't need to. The masked woman said.

"You don't have to bother. You're the same Sauron, then, go back and tell him that there were a lot of people who had fought for the idea of Mount Turan, but they were all dead. William said.

"I'm not Sauron's man, he's just a dog in our hands. Still, I'll get it out to him. The masked woman laughed.

William frowned, it seems that this Sauron has a backer. It's just that I don't know what kind of force this woman belongs to at that time. But to be able to be Sauron's backer, that must be a lot of money.

It took a long time for Floweren, who was frightened by the beating, to come to his senses, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at William and said intermittently, "You...... You...... Good...... Dare to hit me? Okay,...... Ah!!" Floweron didn't finish his sentence, and then let out a miserable howl like a pig. William stomped his outstretched hand under his feet and twisted it again.

"Maybe someone can point the finger at me, but it's definitely not you. William faintly replied.

Laughter did point at him, but he didn't point a finger, and he trembled at William's brute force several consecutive slaps. The hand trembled involuntarily, but William may have felt it, and he was shocked by the identity of the woman, and he just felt comfortable and sulked in his heart, just in need of an outlet, Floweron sent it to the door.

"That's enough! William, you're so presumptuous! Looks like I need to teach you a lesson. The masked woman couldn't hold back any longer, and drew her saber. Indeed, with her identity, not to mention a bandit, even the emperor of the Plantagenet Dynasty has to be polite. When have you ever met such an unreasonable person?

"Huh, hit the dog, and the master will come out?" said William scoffed. "If you lose, you'll get out of Mount Tulan. William said, holding his two-handed greatsword.

"If you lose, your men leave Mount Turan. The woman said the same.

The two of them went out of the righteous hall to find a vacant land. William swung his two-handed greatsword at the masked woman, who drew her saber with a faint white glow, apparently a magic weapon.

"Drink!" the masked woman said with a clear voice, and greeted William without fear. It's just that since the handover of the sword, the special giant sword in William's hand has been cut by the woman's saber with a lot of scratches, and even a few notches have been cut. William looked at the giant sword in his hand and sighed secretly. The woman sneered, the saber in her hand was blessed by the three magicians with "Strong" and "Sharp" and "Strength", which directly increased her combat power by three levels.

The two fought again, and this time William clearly felt that his two-handed greatsword was obviously overwhelmed. Finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the two-handed giant sword could no longer hold on, and was cut in half by the saber.

The woman withdrew her sword, looked at William and said coldly, "You lost." William was expressionless, picked up the severed greatsword from the ground and looked at the people in the cottage. There was no confusion in the eyes of everyone, no loss. Just gave William an "understanding" look.

..................

Reha looked at William, who was sitting alone on a branch, smiled and said, "Hi, boy. It's not a big deal to lose once, isn't it?" William saw Leha, sighed, jumped down from the tree and said, "Father, don't you blame me?"

"There are times when you fail, and besides, you did your best this time. Besides, do you think that even if you win, we will be able to stay?" said Reha. There was no sign in his expression of what a sad thing it was to leave the cottage he had built with his own hands.

"But what about the rest of the cottage?"

"They understand you equally. Because you are my son. It's just that your prestige in their hearts will inevitably ...... in the future."

"Hehe, what are we going to do in the future?" William finally had the appearance of a fourteen-year-old boy at this time.

"In a few days we will leave Mount Turan. I used to have a friend who was also a nobleman. Let's be in his territory for the time being. Speaking of this, Reha couldn't help but sigh. But then he said, "All right, son. My advice is that you don't go with us. After all, we are taking refuge in others, and you are still young, haven't you always wanted to go to the mainland for training? Now is a good opportunity. Besides, I think that young man named Augustus is very clever, so it is better for you two to go out for a walk together. ”

William sighed and didn't say anything. I just feel sorry for the people in the cottage. Although William had vaguely felt that there would be such a day as early as when he was at odds with Sauron, he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

The masked woman was not as strong as William, but the saber on her body allowed her to win so easily. Maybe this failure will be of great benefit to William in the future, after all, William still has a bit of a juvenile heart. But William was still blaming himself in his heart.

"When are we leaving Mount Tulane?" asked William, in a low voice.

"Half a month at most. But there is one more important thing we haven't done before we leave. Give Sauron a great gift. Reha faintly said. William, of course, understood what the gift Reha was talking about.

A few days later, the beast tide hit. A large number of magical beasts run from the north to the south from Mount Turan. The annual route of the Warcraft almost follows the mountain path of Mount Turan. This year, Turan Mountain blocked the wooden fence on the outside of the cottage, and the monsters walked around the wooden fence. It's just that this wooden fence is more and more biased towards the west road. The monsters felt a little deviant from the destination of their trip, but they couldn't do anything about this sturdy fence. Just when the demonic beasts were getting more and more restless, several mountaineers hunted and killed a demonic wolf that was far away from the team, and the demonic wolf's long howl before dying attracted other demonic beasts. The mountain people did not dare to confront the beasts, so they ran away.

The irascible monsters didn't notice that the escape route chosen by the mountain people was the way down the mountain. The monsters kept chasing the mountain people, but these mountain people were so strong that they didn't forget to shoot a few arrows behind them even when they were fleeing, and the monsters that had been provoked one after another lost their minds and chased and killed these humans frantically. Soon, the humans entered a city at the foot of the mountain, and the monsters hesitated in front of the city gate. The gates of the city were not closed, and the monster knew that this belonged to human territory.

However, while the beasts were hesitating, the guards on the city walls spotted them, and the archers shot a round of horse fire in unison, killing a group of monsters on the spot. Enraged, the beasts rushed into the city desperately and fought the guards.

The monsters had forgotten about the humans who had brought them here. They just want to tear apart all the despicable humans they see in front of them.

In this battle, most of the guards of Lille City were killed and wounded, and it was not only the armed forces that were attacked by the beast tide, but also many civilians. Even large wheat fields were burned by some fire-based demonic beasts, and the city of Lille was in ruins.
