"Oversized giants and armored giants have appeared! The Wall of Mary has been breached! ”

"Oversized giants and armored giants have appeared! The Wall of Mary has been breached! ”

The messenger rode through the streets and galloped all the way to the lord's mansion, where everyone heard the message.

Today was the day of the purchase, and Ian stopped at the entrance of the market to listen to the cry of the messenger.

Finally came the day when the walls were torn.

As a slave within the walls, Ian has no means to stop Reiner and Becky from crashing through the walls, and he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.

According to the progress, when the wall was broken, Allen's father came to the territory of Reis, went to the underground cave of the church, transformed into an attack giant, killed the Reis family, and took away the power of the ancestors, it was the night of the slaughter of the farm, and the gendarmes led by Kenny would come to the territory of Reis from the royal capital, and kill most of the insiders in order to keep the secrets of the "royal family".

Eight months later, Ian was ready.

Three months earlier, he had bought horses from the black market and kept them in a cave in the suburbs, where he had stored the supplies he needed to escape, as well as the wages he had saved for the past eight months, and a portion of the money he had withheld by taking advantage of his position, about 60 gold coins.

The escape route, he had already planned, from the territory of Lacey all the way to the perimeter of the wall, and then to the west, there was an inner gate to the wall of Maria and Rossy, through which the refugees would swarm in, and then everything would become chaotic, and he would be able to take the opportunity to blend in with the refugees and have a new identity.

At that point, he was no longer Ian from Lacey Farms, but an orphan from within the Wall of Mary.

Because of his status as a child, he will not be sent by the government to fight on the front line, and the rest is to seize the opportunity and find a way to use the little money and materials in his hands to make a career and try to mix with the upper echelons of the corps.

But the premise of all this is to escape smoothly.

Escaping is the most important thing, and if you don't get out of Lacey Farm alive, everything is on paper.

"Let's go, let's go back and tell the housekeeper." Ian looked at the departing messenger, waved the reins of his horses, and steered the wagon towards the farm.

Before noon, they returned to the farm, and Ian went to the butler's room to give a debriefing.

"Don't panic." The butler looked breezy: "Go back to work, giants are not a threat to us." ”

The butler looked confident, Ian thought, the butler must know about the existence of the ancestor, he knew that as long as the people of the wall had the ancestor, the giants would never threaten them, but he must not have received the news that the Lacey family, and now only the lord of Lacey has been slaughtered.

The news that the Wall of Mary had been breached reached the territory of Reis, indicating that at least one or two days had passed since the incident, and the Ancestor was probably snatched by Alan's father a day or two ago.

After Ian left the butler's room, he quietly rode his horse to the town and went to the black market to inquire if there was any news of a fire in the neighborhood.

Sure enough, there was some news from the grapevine that the small church in the south had a fire last night, and the cause was unknown, but the upper authorities did not know why they paid special attention to this matter, and a large number of soldiers surrounded the place.

The incident still happened, and the housekeeper, as a member of the Lacey family, didn't even know about it, which can only mean one thing, the housekeeper has been abandoned, and he is also on the erasure list of the gendarmes.

A dead man does not need to know secrets.

Ian's heart was pounding, and the news was passed from Lacey's territory to the royal capital, and it would take about a day to travel.

Tomorrow night, or the night after tomorrow, Kenny's group should be here.

Ian knew it was time to call out for his stand-in.

He went to the slum and knocked on a dilapidated wooden door.

The door was opened by a boy who was about the same height as him, the boy was very haggard, and when he saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and bowed his head respectfully: "Lord Ian, is it time to need me?" ”

"Well, Cali, come with me tonight."

"I see." The boy smiled, "Please allow me to say goodbye to my younger siblings." ”

"Wait." Ian took out a small money bag from his bosom: "There are ten gold coins in here, let your brother go to the market tomorrow to find Uncle Pete who is moving goods, and my sister will go to the Triss tailor in the old street, I have made a good relationship in advance, I can let them go there to work, let them leave the slum tomorrow." ”

"Thank you." The boy accepted the money and bowed: "Thank you very much Lord Ian for taking care of us, if it weren't for you, our family would have starved to death last winter." ”

"Don't thank me, you deserve it."

The boy suddenly coughed uncontrollably a few times, coughed up blood, raised his head, and showed a smile: "My meager life, if I can make some contribution to you, it will be worth the trip." ”

"Cherish the time with your family, go buy some delicious food tonight, I will come to pick you up at midnight." Ian hugged him, then put on his cloak and left.

The boy looked at his departing back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.

The boy's name is Cali, and he is a child that Ian met last winter, and he is a year younger than Ian.

He had tuberculosis, which in this day and age was an incurable disease and would die within a few years.

Therefore, Ian chose him to be his stand-in, giving Cali two gold coins a month to support his two sisters and a younger brother, and using the relationship of a soldier to keep his younger siblings from being bullied, so that he would not have to work outside with a weak body.

That night, Cali took the money Ian gave him and went to the market to buy vegetables and meat, bought a turkey, and his younger siblings chattered around him.

"Brother! Why is it so rich today!"

"Brother! Brother! This chicken leg is delicious! ”

Kali touched the heads of his younger siblings and smiled softly: "My brother has found a good job, and he will leave for another place tomorrow, and my brother's boss has helped you find a job too, and you must be obedient when you go to someone else's store, do you know?" ”

He arranged the schedules of his younger siblings one by one, and divided the money he had saved over the years, plus the support money given by Ian before, a total of fifteen gold coins, and divided them equally among his younger siblings.

Although the house was very shabby, he loved the smiles of his younger siblings.

In the warm light of the fire, the children fell asleep around him.

He sat alone until late at night, until there was a knock at the door, kissed his younger siblings on the foreheads one by one, extinguished the flames, and left with a hood on his head, never looking back.

"Did you say goodbye to them?" Ian asked.

"They'll grow up someday." "I can't hide behind my brother for the rest of my life, and although I don't see that day, I'm sure they will all be happy," Cali said. ”

"Yes," Ian said after a moment of silence, "yes, they will be happy." ”
