(City of Towers)

When the young man came to the area that the saint had planned for herself, he said, "The materials are very complete! What a generous lady the saint is! ”

Noticing that his friend was already waiting in front of the door, the young man stepped forward to greet him.

"Sodeyith!"

"Congratulations on having your own lab."

"Would you like a drink? Just celebrate with me. ”

Sodeyith shook his head and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you this time. ”

"Why? Was it because of the last time I disagreed with the saint and was intimidated? ”

"No, I just need to go back to my country, where I need it more."

"Why? You'll get perfect marks in all subjects, and if you wait a few months here, you might be able to get into the Tower. ”

Sodeis shook his head and said, "My country is now under attack from the Karan and Caldara and the aliens of the North, and it is impossible for me to be allowed to hold any position in Sanseka as a native of Kades. ”

"In the event of war, you can also donate money and materials here! Why do you have to go back? And the saint is very fair, she won't look at your origin, don't you think that brave man is also a caddes? ”

After speaking, Sodeis looked into the distance and said, "Sorry friend, a Kades should return to her arms when the country is in danger, even if I will meet death, I must meet death in my country." ”

Then Sodeeth handed over the handbag and said, "Friend! This is my farewell gift. ”

After speaking, he was silent for a while and said: "This is the rare medicinal materials I collected, I can't use them now, I will give them all to you, you must use these to make medicines that can save more people." ”

After being silent for a while, the young man still suppressed his words and hoped that the other party would not leave, and said, "I am here to bless you to live. ”

"It will, because the Cades will never fall."

Afterwards, the young man stood at the door of the laboratory, looked at his friend who had disappeared into the night, and waved with tears in his eyes.

(Plains)

Ankh sat in the corner of the banquet and looked at the silent crowd and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The team leader said, "The representative of the paladin will come over to pass the word in a moment. ”

"What's the word?"

"It's coming!"

Ankh looked up to find a paladin standing on the stage holding a parchment scroll and said, "The Paladins have refused your tribe's request to gather an army. ”

The patriarch asked, "May I ask why?" ”

The paladin said, "We are now going to defend the northern line, and each tribe must send at least 50 men to assist. ”

The patriarch asked, "What about the demons?" ”

"We'll still have some paladins left, and those demons are completely able to resist."

After that, the paladin left in a hurry.

The patriarch raised his wine glass and squeezed out a smile and said, "Come on! Compatriots, let's toast those warriors who can fight side by side with the Holy Maid. ”

The team leader said, "It seems that it is impossible to fight those demons recently. ”

Ankh asked, "What does the Northern Line mean?" ”

"It's the direction of Kades, I heard that Kades is being attacked by the combined forces of Karan and Caldara, so we probably have to defend."

"How often will Carders be attacked?"

"It doesn't have to be irregular."

Ankh then said, "I'll go out for a walk. ”

"I'll go too."

After that, Anka and the leader rode together on horseback and wandered through the grassland.

The team leader said, "Your Excellency Anka seems to be a little worried, is it because of being a Kades? ”

"I'm just worried that those Kades will be ravaged by the war again, but unfortunately I can't move there directly, otherwise I should be able to protect some people from suffering!"

"yes, I don't know how long the suffering of the Cades will last."

As the two of them sighed, Ankka looked at the flickering large surging firelight in front of them and asked, "What is that?" ”

After seeing it, the team leader said: "This is an enemy attack, go and inform everyone." ”

Ankka drew his magic sword and was about to meet the enemy, and found that the opponent had actually carried out a wide range of mounted shots.

Countless flaming arrows rained down from the sky, and Ankka had no choice but to turn and leave.

The flames burned for a whole night, and the meadows around the tribe were even turned into a wasteland, which the demons ransacked.

Fortunately, Anka and the team leader reported in time to allow the entire tribe to escape in time, so that the whole army was not wiped out.

Thousands of people braved the cold wind to the outside of the paladin's camp.

The patriarch eagerly asked the person who came back from inside to question: "How is it?" ”

The other party shook his head and said, "They said that there are too many of us to accept them all. ”

"It's getting colder and colder now, what should I do?"

After speaking, the patriarch saw those vanguard members wearing demonic equipment and said angrily: "It's all because you use this kind of blasphemy that you have brought destruction to the entire tribe. ”

Ankh stood up at this time and said, "I don't know if it's really a demon attracted by these equipment, I can go and ask them to let you take refuge in it now." ”

The patriarch turned his head in disbelief and kept complaining about everyone's initiative to attack the demon.

Ankh walked into the paladin's camp and was inspected by the other party.

"Stop!"

"I'm just here to talk to you."

"There's nothing to talk about, let those people get out of the camp gate!"

Ankh faced the paladins surrounding him and slowly showed the ornaments he was carrying, which had been given by the saint.

Among them, the captain of the paladin respectfully returned the thing to Ankh after inspecting it.

"What do you call Your Excellency? It's better to go to the tent and rest first. ”

"Just call me Anka."

"Have you ever worked for a saint?"

Ankka thought for a moment and said, "I used to act with the captain of the Eye of the Holy Maiden. ”

"Sorry for the poor hospitality."

"Can you show me your warehouse?"

"Please."

Later, Anka found that the entire camp was actually a huge fortress made of stones, with well-equipped facilities, a large number of material reserves, and a strong defense here, even if some of them were transferred, there were still 100 paladins and 1,000 minions, and there were ten warehouses for food, which could barely feed thousands of people for at least three months.

"Can you spare some rooms for them to come in?"

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Ankh roared angrily, "Do you want the Holy Maiden to see her people turned away by her own servants until they starve to death and freeze to death? ”

When the paladins heard this, they all shook their heads in a deflated manner.

After consulting within the paladin, Ankka secured three towers as temporary accommodation.

"Lord Anka, please let these people return to the grasslands after the winter has passed to destroy the demons."

"It's nature."

Ankka then walked out the door and saw the expectant crowd and said, "Let the children and women go in and rest!" ”

The patriarch got up tremblingly and said, "What about our old bones? ”

Anka walked through the crowd and said, "Fathers of children under the age of three, husbands who have just been married for about ten months, the elderly, and those with physical disabilities can also enter. ”

Anka saw that there were about three thousand strong middle-aged and young men left, and asked, "Anyone who wants to go in can squeeze in." ”

The team leader stood up at this time and said, "Can you ask the paladins to give us some equipment?" We will take revenge on the demons who trampled on our land. ”

Ankha nodded in response, "Let's simply replenish some supplies and set off." ”
