Abidis carried Kane on his back and walked silently, and Yelika asked him what to do with Kane, "Are you going to send him back to Rand?" The girl was there. ”

"He's so badly injured that they can't be cured when he is sent back, and there may be a lot of accidents. It would be better to take him directly to the witch to treat him. Let's ask what Kakirech means after that. ”

"That's all it can be."

The two of them stole a horse nearby to transport Kane and escorted them to Carrot City. The bumpy road brought extremely uncomfortable feelings to Kane, who was already seriously injured, and as the horse's back swayed up and down, Kane's moaning sound seemed to be deliberately in response.

In order to alleviate Kane's suffering, Abides chose another smooth road - the Harrence Kingdom Gallop Road, and after changing to another road, Kane's journey was much less painful. The caravans and pedestrians on the road did not pay much attention to the strange threesome.

The news of what happened in Boulder City quickly reached the ears of Bailly on the front line, and it was then that he realized that he had been fooled, and looking at the enemy close at hand in front of him, Bailly gritted his teeth and gave up the pursuit, and instead ordered to start a carpet search back. Dorry found that they were no longer chasing, and guessed that the plan should have succeeded, and now was the critical moment for them to buy time for the snitches to escape, otherwise if they were caught, their previous efforts would be in vain.

Dori ordered to go back and harass the speed of Bailly's retreat, which could be delayed for a while, and each person who went back was rewarded with an additional gold coin. So this group of troops could not fight, and the team that fled extremely fast chased after Bailly like chickens. It was as if they were the real victors, chasing a group of defeated armies that had fled.

They clinged to Bailly like flies, constantly harassing them with bows, spears, and crossbows. They were very good at reading things, and when Bailly's cavalry wanted to free up their hands to deal with them, these guys seemed to have predicted their thoughts in advance, and they retreated like a tide, allowing Bailly to pounce.

This style of play and harassment made Bailly extremely angry, as disgusting as a fly. What annoyed him the most was that he didn't have time to play this game of cat and mouse with these guys right now, and he ordered to go back as fast as he could, and ignore these annoying guys.

Neroth and Arya, like Dori, tried to harass and hold back the armies around them. After half a day of tugging, Nehris thought that the time they had bought was enough for them to escape. Neroth's army returned to Rand, but they didn't see the snitch, and at first thought they were slow to come back because they were just cautious.

But they waited for a long time, and their mood gradually became agitated. Arya was the first to be uneasy, she decided to go out to find Kane, and instead of sitting still, she would take the initiative to go out and find it. Neroth grabbed Arya to stop her irrational behavior at this time, and they finally retreated to Rand, the situation outside was dim and unknown, maybe Bailly's knights were already all around Rand at this moment, just waiting for them to go out.

As Neroth expected, after Bailly knew that Kane had been rescued, his carpet search failed to find Kane, and when he returned, he only found the snitch frozen into popsicles lying pitifully on the ground. The poor creatures had been abandoned, and with some kind of chilling magic in them, Bailly took his knights and endless fury and rushed towards Rand.

Even when the moon was obscured by dark clouds, darkness everywhere could not stop the fire in Bailly's heart, and the knights in armor were like a flock of hungry wolves surrounding the sheepfold, and they were on horseback with their swords in their hands facing the brightly lit town in front of them.

With Bailly's order, they began to rush into the town of Rand, and the knights who rushed in first flew out of the city gate with men and horses as if they had been hit by some powerful impact, and the huge impact overwhelmed the knights who were rushing inside and did not react. The elemental guards of the rock-made body rushed out of the gates with heavy steps, and they were as powerful as siege engines, and the bones of those who were knocked down shattered and killed instantly.

Long before Bailly arrived, Neroth had predicted that they might retaliate against Rand tonight. He activated the magic circle beforehand, summoned the elemental guards to appear, and brought them to the city to wait for the rabbits.

While waiting for Bailly to arrive, Nefrith and the others also evacuated the townspeople overnight, and some who did not want to leave were left to their own choice, but only if they did not become traitors, otherwise they would lose their lives on the spot. But the remaining residents had no intention of becoming traitors, and they were braver than Arya had imagined.

Bailly wielded his sword against the tall, highly defensive magical guards, whose attacks tickled the guards, and Bailly tried to get past these elemental guards to catch a few of the truly important people in the town. At the cost of the lives of many knights, Bailly finally got his wish and entered the city, where a large number of armed inhabitants awaited them.

These people, perhaps unwilling to live the oppressive life of high taxes, are vowing to defend their new homeland. Rand Town became fully staffed, with knives, forks, shovels, and even the brooms in the room being used as weapons against these hateful invaders.

They shouted the slogan "Invaders get out of the Rand", and refused to back down in the face of the threat of Bailly's sword, even though their hearts were already terrified to the extreme, their legs could not help but tremble, and the light of the fire illuminated their faces. A group of people stood in front of the firelight, holding hands, their frightened eyes mixed with determined looks.

Arya was touched by these loyal residents, and she joined the group in facing Bailly.

Viscount Bailly, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was accustomed to this useless struggle, and the slaughter was already in the way, and the inhabitants were weak before the iron hooves of the knights. Just as Bailly was about to give the order for brutality, Neroth rode his griffin and threw brimstone and powder kegs into the air, followed by a fire spell that landed. The raging fire turned into a wall of fire, blocking Bailly and the inhabitants, and the horses did not dare to cross the tall wall of fire.

After a night of hard work, part of Rand became in ruins, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and everyone became disgraced. Bailly didn't end up brutally bloodbathing Rand, but the lack of bloodbath doesn't mean he'll spare the town. His temporary departure may be for the next more horrific blow.

The devastated town didn't wait for Kane, and Arya sat down beside a rubble, her eyes full of loneliness. Neroth really felt powerless this time, and last night he dealt with a dozen heavily armored knights by himself, taking advantage of the griffin's superiority in the air to kill them with great difficulty.

The price was that Neros ran out of mana, and after releasing a fire spell at the last moment, he really couldn't unleash half of his spell attack. He stroked the griffon, who had been fighting with him all night, and the griffon responded by rubbing his huge head affectionately. Neroth came to Arya's side and stood still, "Have we won or lost?" He muttered softly to himself.

According to Bailly's reaction, Kane should have been rescued, otherwise Bailly would not have suddenly evacuated from the battlefield and returned to defend Boulder City. But they waited all night and finally didn't see the shadow of Kane and those snitches, and Bailly's sudden attack in the second half of the night was enough to show that Kane was probably not in his hands, since Kane was not in Bailly's hands and did not return to Rand, then where did he go? The whereabouts of several living people became a mystery.

Kani roughly liquidated Rand's losses over the past few days, the finances were on the verge of collapse, they couldn't support the army's expenses, and the army they had just recruited yesterday was also frightened by last night's fighting, and they demanded that they be paid immediately, and then leave Rand with the money to find a safe shelter.

Of the recruited army of more than 500 people, only nearly 200 people are still alive, and in the face of such a large population loss, Kani naturally will not owe them this gold coin, and the dead cannot owe money, otherwise they will become undead and haunt the creditor for the rest of their lives.

After settling all the money she owed, Carney worries about the safety of the town, but also worries about her future. This time Rand met a formidable opponent, and Bailly was an impassable mountain for them, and it was only a matter of time before it was destroyed. There is only one way in front of you, to leave here to make another living, and to stay is to die, a senseless sacrifice.

Carney is a smart person, and she doesn't want to die here, or lose her life for this place, even if it is thanks to her. But after all, Carney is Arya's best friend, and it was Arya who invited her to come here to help her and Kane manage the whole of Rand in the first place, so it didn't seem appropriate to leave, and she didn't know how to speak.

So when she looked at the dusty suitcase in the corner after dealing with a lot of tedious things, she was so stunned that Arya didn't even notice when she pushed the door in.

Arya stood in the doorway, calling softly to her best friend. Only then did Kani come back to her senses, and the two dragged their tired bodies to talk about the happy past, and tacitly did not say a word about the bad things that had happened these days. They talked for a long time, from morning to noon, until the servant called them to eat.

Arya, Neroth, Carney, Dori, and many of the other elders who had founded Rand Town with them had gathered for a silent lunch, at which no one had spoken, and the meal was eaten in a dreary atmosphere. Arya stood up, her eyes slightly reddened and bowed to the group, thanking them for their company and fighting side by side.

She understands that everyone's enthusiasm has gradually been extinguished by reality, and they have to face the current threat of Bailly's powerful force, and everyone still wants to live well in their hearts. For this reason, she expressed her understanding to those who wanted to leave, and she prepared a gold coin for those who wanted to leave as a final thank-you gift.

Carney wanted to persuade her friend to leave, but Arya refused, she was here until Kane returned, and she was determined that Kane was not dead, and that he would definitely return to this place, to the city he had created, because it was his home.

Neros didn't say much, but gave him a magic ball before leaving, and he told Arya not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary, because it contained very powerful magical energy, which was so powerful that it could cause very terrifying damage.

Arya thanked them again and watched them leave Rand Town, standing on the flat gallop to watch their backs in the distance.
