"Pull it tight, I'll shake the rope every 100 meters, and if I go out, I'll fire a signal arrow, if I don't...... Forget it, let's go Colin, I'm going to see what kind of cycle has kept us going around for so long. ”

In order to ensure that the rope was long enough, they weaved a total of nearly a thousand meters of rope, although the movement was quick and the materials were available everywhere, but it also took more than an hour, Brandon threw the coiled tree rope on the ground, picked up the other end of the rope and wrapped it tightly around his arm, Austin consciously picked up the end of the rope, directly around his waist three times, tied a dead knot, and then held the rope handed by Brandon, as Brandon went away, he quickly sent the rope outward.

This was the ninth time, and even though it was pitch black and the branches were thick, Colin and Brandon turned and left, so familiar that they didn't need to make out the direction to find the road, though they still didn't understand why the same road, the same markings, couldn't get out.

Genos moved his aching wrists, tore some strips of cloth from his clothes and wrapped his hands, the rain soaked and braided ropes, so that his palms wore out the skin, and it was only a flesh wound, but it was much better than leaving the wound exposed, the juice of the blue vanilla had been washed away by the rain, and it was necessary to block the spread of the smell of blood as much as possible, at least until Brandon and the others returned.

Yu Lun's face was pale, his lips were bruised, his body shrunk into a ball, and he shivered involuntarily, a few pieces of cold and soft black bread could not recover his body temperature at all, but his stomach seemed to be filled with a piece of ice, he was just a newcomer in the end, and his physical fitness and experience were far inferior to the rangers, which was already the limit of what he could bear.

Austin and Giles both rested against the trees with their eyes closed, even if the storm and thunder could not affect them in the slightest, as much as possible to save their physical strength, this kind of weather is not the first time they have encountered, or in the Black Forest, this kind of heavy rain is more common, and it has long been accustomed to it.

The torrential rain has not stopped, and the temperature in the Black Forest has dropped rapidly, reaching zero degrees Celsius, just like a cold winter.

Genos looked at Brandon's departing back, his brows furrowed, his uneasiness was infinitely magnified at this moment, but he couldn't say what the problem was, and there was no better way, he could only watch Brandon and Colin disappear into the dark forest, it was not impossible for the Rangers to get lost in the Black Forest, but the four Rangers couldn't find their way at the same time, the possibility was too small, if Brandon and Colin didn't go out in the end, they only needed to avoid the direction of the tree rope and get out of this cycle.

Maybe it's overthinking......

In any case, Brandon and Colin are also the most experienced rangers in Winter City, and their strength is undoubted, even if there are any monster ambushes, without dragging, it is never a problem to retreat, and although Austin and Gilles have been resting with their eyes closed, they can definitely catch up immediately as long as there is a slight movement on the eight-hundred-meter road.

One time......

A hundred meters later, the tight rope vibrated like a string, and Austin's eyelids moved slightly before continuing to send the rope outward.

Double-click......

Two hundred meters, Genos's eyes never left the tight rope, and his mood also fluctuated with the slight shaking of the rope, a quarter of the way, there were no accidents, maybe he was really too nervous.

Three times ......

Everywhere......

Five ......

Halfway through the journey, Austin and Giles opened their eyes at the same time, Austin's eyes were firmly fixed on the darkness at the end of the rope, and Gilles turned his head to look in the direction they came back in circles, Genos slapped himself hard, his highly concentrated spirit and excessively tired body, and his increasingly low body temperature made his vision begin to blur a little, and his thoughts were confused.

With three hundred meters to go, the pull of the rope continued, but the speed was getting slower and slower, and after about ten minutes, the sixth shake appeared.

"Ouch......"

The three of Genos followed the prestige, only to see Yu Lun hunched up from the ground, holding his stomach trembling and walking into the distance, he really couldn't hold it back, his stomach hurt like a sword stirring hysterically in it, but even so, he still couldn't make it convenient in front of the three people.

Gilles and Austin just glanced at Yuren and didn't bother to care about him, and didn't have time to care about him, Genos turned his head to look at Yulun, even if he blocked his forehead with his hand, the rain still kept entering his eyes, his vision was a little blurry, not only sour, but also a little dull pain, he could barely see anything clearly from five meters away, squinted his eyes, and could only see a vague humanoid silhouette disappearing into the forest.

"What are you going to do, Yoren?" asked Genos.

There was silence for a moment, and the only response was the cold wind......

"Yulun, what are you doing? Yulun!?"

Sensing that something was wrong, Genos got up and walked in the direction where Yuren had disappeared, holding a steel blade, lifting his spirits, and questioning in a loud voice, only the sound of rain was answered......

Austin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw this, newcomers are always like this, they like to make a fuss when they have nothing to do, but if there is really any danger, it can't be used at all, so every time a criminal is sent to the Void City, if there are enough people, then in order to avoid trouble, it has become the norm to kill newcomers, and the good and bad criminals are mixed, and some people can't help no matter how much they train, this method is not only to reduce the burden, but also to screen out newcomers who are worth cultivating.

Winter City's attitude towards newcomers is already the friendliest among many cities, if it is replaced by a city dominated by other races, such as the eastern end of the Great Wall, in that inpopulated desert dead sea stands the third castle of the Great Wall of the Void, the Night Castle, Deacon Roma is a member of the orcs, thousands of years before the Ping Era, the human race is no different from domestic animals to the orcs, it can be said that it is just food on the table, even if it has sworn an oath, it still looks down on the human race in its bones, and the food on the table is a brother, isn't it ridiculous?

In this harsh land, food is scarce, and the preciousness of water is comparable to gold, although all ethnic groups will provide certain materials every year, but because the road is too long, the cost of transporting materials is too high, and in recent years, various ethnic groups have paid less and less attention to the Void City, such as the Night Castle, Xihaiwang These cities can basically only be self-reliant.

So how to solve the problem of food and water, has become the biggest problem in the deacon's mind, if even survival can not be guaranteed, the border keeper can really be disbanded, for this reason Rom protested at the meeting more than once, but always prevaricated by various reasons, they even asked Rom to ask the orcs to ask for supplies on the grounds that Rom was only willing to accept the orcs and reject the humans.

Since then, Rom began to accept the criminals who were condemned as scum by the Terrans, and they were all surprised by the change in Rohm, this arrogant orc would bow his head for supplies, but this surprise did not last long, because in the Night Castle, except for the Orcs, no new person could live for half a month, and was starved to death, thirst to death, and even died of overwork, then they understood that Rohm was taking revenge, and the council talked to Rom more than once for this, but the answer was that the Terrans were too weak to adapt to the life of the Night Castle, and he was not to blame for dying。

If this is the case, the council naturally has nothing to say, there are too many criminals of the Terran race, and if they are all sent to the Void City, instead of helping, it is a burden, and it is not uncommon to kill new people, and the Council has long been surprised, otherwise it will really be investigated, and there will be too many people to deal with, but Rom's subsequent actions directly angered all the Terrans in the Void City, and even the city lord Ethel, who was still alive at the time, couldn't stand it, he asked those dead Terran corpses to be collected, skinned, stripped of bones and residues, and then hung up and dried, as a food reserve for the Night Castle,

For the orcs, cannibalism is nothing new, if they reach a desperate situation, let alone the human race, even if they are of the same race, they will eat it correctly.

But unfortunately, there are no restrictions and punishments for this kind of behavior in the oath and the treaty, and in a sense, Rohm's use of dead people as food is a rational use of resources, and some people oppose it and some people support it, so the high-level of Void City and the Star and Moon Council have not implemented Roma's treatment for a long time, until after Ethel's death, no one has mentioned this matter, or rather, they have actually acquiesced to Roma's behavior.

Anyway, people are already dead, and if there is a lack of food, why can't they eat?

Is humanitarianism really more important than filling your stomach?

The living frontier keepers are the frontier keepers, and as for the dead, it is just a corpse about to decay, even if you don't eat, endure hunger, bury them with reverence, or even erect a monument, but what can you do?

In the end, it is just rotting in the ground and being eaten by maggots, what is the point of being ineffective in form and humanity?

The Night Castle, as its name suggests, is an abyss where there is no light for the Terrans, and almost all Terran Border Keepers are murderous when they mention the Night Castle, just like Brandon, who would rather train new people himself than send them to the Night Castle, not because of kindness or kindness, but simply hating the Night Castle and hating Rom, but for the Orcs, Rom is not at fault, on the contrary, he will find a way to fill his subordinates and drink water in the desert, rather than a deacon who only talks about glory and oaths, and only cares about his own food, regardless of whether his subordinates live or die。

The rope in his hand suddenly trembled, it had been a full ten minutes since the last shaking, Austin had been engrossed, and immediately sent the rope out, Gilles looked in the other direction with understanding, this was the seventh time, if it was the same as before, it would not be long before Colin and Brandon would be back here.
