The battle in the city continues.

The surging attack of Faustin's three legions confused the Charlotte soldiers defending the city. After the city gate was lost one after another, except for a few soldiers who chose to fight to the death, the rest of the soldiers fled into the city and started street battles with the Faustin soldiers.

"Come on, come on!" Miller hurriedly called out to Orn behind him.

Although Orn is not low in height and has a lot of strength, he just can't run fast. Miller had slowed down a lot, and Orn still couldn't keep up with him.

"Come on!" Miller couldn't take it anymore, so he grabbed Orn and dragged her towards the city. At this moment, there were countless such Charlotte soldiers around them, all running towards the inner side of the city. And behind them, the orderly and approaching Faustan army.

If it weren't for the fact that Orn pushed Miller when the Faustins attacked the city before, allowing him to dodge a cold arrow, Miller wouldn't have cared about the life or death of this big guy.

Miller has lived in Otis City for more than twenty years, and remembers every alley clearly, although the speed of Orn has slowed down a lot, but after turning around, he has even pulled away from the rest of the Charlotte soldiers and the Faustin soldiers behind him.

Miller didn't take it lightly and continued to run for a long distance before stopping to rest.

Holding on to their knees, the two of them gasped, this is a spacious street entrance, in the past, there would be people on both sides of the street, all kinds of shops opened, the sound of small shops, the sound of customers bargaining, endlessly.

But at this time, there is only a closed door, and the door is empty.

"Where are we going?" Orn asked sullenly. He has never been an assertive person, and has always liked to listen to other people's opinions.

Miller gave him a blank look, "Of course you go back to your own house, is it possible that you still have to go to the Faustin people desperately?" Miller took the time to look behind him when he just fled, and found that the Faustan soldiers were only surrounding and suppressing them, the Charlotte defenders, and did not intrude on the houses in the city.

The Charlotte aristocracy has always spread the brutality and misery of Faustin's soldiers. But from the scene just now, Miller felt that this was not the case, and that the nobles might be intimidating them.

"But the nobles say that the Faustins will kill us all. Orn continued.

"Kill and kill. Miller said nonchalantly, "Sooner or later I'm going to die anyway, Charlotte's army has been defeated." I wanted to be with my family before I died. Miller thought of his two lovely children and that beautiful wife.

The food hidden in his chest was still slightly warm, which he had just received in the afternoon and was going to take back to his family to eat.

This is the sorrow of the little man, Miller is powerless to fight, and can only choose the judgment of fate.

Miller rested and straightened up to leave, only to find Orn still standing.

"Let's go, do you want to stay with the nobles?" asked Miller, puzzled. After a period of time, the shouting and killing sound behind him came closer, and he had to get out of here quickly.

"I, I don't have a home. Orn lowered his head as he spoke, this big man who was one meter eight tall, was choked up at this time, and tears were shining in his eyes.

"What about your family?" Miller wanted to slap himself in the face as soon as he asked the question. From Orn's distinct Northland accent, and his current rhetoric, it was clear that he had fled from the north.

"It's all dead. Orn replied, and the straight words made Miller's heart sink. He still has a wife and children, but Orn is alone.

Seeing that Orn was still in place, Miller, who was about to leave, put down the foot he had already taken. Orn is technically Miller's lifesaver, and although Miller is only a tavern boy, he is also affectionate.

"Come with me first!" Without saying a word, Miller stepped forward and grabbed Orn's arm.

。。。。。。

"Where are we?" asked Christine curiously, Rafi beside her. Although she is the little princess of the Marquis's family, Christine has never been around Otis City since she was so old, and she is very unfamiliar with Otis City.

"This should be the southwest location of the city. Raffi replied that she had been raised as a maid since she was a child, and when she was a child, she often followed the chief maid, Mama and others to various places in the city of Otis to buy. The familiarity with the city of Otis is no worse than that of an old man who has lived in the city for decades.

Locke took them into the city through the West Gate, and Locke's idea was that at this time, taking advantage of the war, he would send the three Grace girls out first, preferably directly to Henry of the quartermaster caravan in the rear, and then he would come back to find the troops.

It was late at night, but Otis City was a little brightly lit, and there were even bursts of gunsmoke in the air, which should be on fire.

At this time, the four of them wore the uniforms of Faustin soldiers and rode around the city on horseback, and there were torches and flints in the saddles, but Locke did not allow them to be ignited.

It's better not to expose the four of them, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the problem no matter whether they encounter the remnants of Charlotte or Faustin's army.

"It's close to the West Gate. Grace spoke up, as they could already faintly hear the battle between the remnants of Charlotte and the Faustin soldiers.

"Damn!" Locke had already tried his best to avoid the main line of attack, but he didn't expect to still crash into the combat zone.

"You can't go like this! It's not easy to get the three of you found out by the other soldiers. Locke said, he is just a squadron leader, just a little famous in the second corps of the Eagle Legion, but there are three major legions outside, more than ten corps, so many soldiers, who knows him Locke.

The outfits of the three Grace daughters are problematic at first glance, and they can't afford to inquire about them. "Why don't we find a civilian house to hide in?" Grace suggested.

Locke thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, you guys hide first, and tomorrow the war is over, and I'll find a way to send you out." ”

Scanning the surrounding area, Locke led the way to one of them.

Locke, who was a low-level squire, felt that there were three faint breaths in that room, and it could only be women and children who could be so weak. Locke prefers to place the three Grace daughters in low-risk places.

It was a house with a closed door, a low roof and crumbling walls, telling the people who saw it that it was a civilian house.

Walking to the door, Locke didn't bother to shout, and directly kicked open the closed door, and a small wooden strip stuck in the door snapped into two ends.

Locke didn't want to be so rude, but time was urgent, and he didn't know if the family was easy to talk to, so he didn't care too much.

"Come on in!" Locke shouted to the three girls behind him.

When the four of them entered the door, Locke saw what he saw, and the first thing he saw was a sense of self-blame. Standing in front of him was a scrawny woman, with two equally thin children hidden behind her.

The woman and her two children, covered in holes and patches, told Locke and his party that the family didn't seem to be doing well.

The woman looked at the Locke in horror, apparently recognizing the military uniforms they were wearing. The two children, on the other hand, stared at the stranger who suddenly appeared with wide eyes of curiosity.

Locke suddenly didn't know how to say anything to appease the family, and he had just kicked down the door of the family.

"We didn't mean to offend and just stayed here for one night before leaving. At the critical moment, Grace stood up and said kindly to this frightened mother and child.

Grace's pure royal accent and elegant sentences obviously lowered the woman's vigilance, and the little girl Christine looked at the two children behind the woman licking their fingers, looking thin, and she couldn't bear it, and she didn't know where to take out a piece of white bread and handed it to the two children. "Come, sister will give you something to eat. "Christine is also going to be a sister one day.

Seeing this, the two children's eyes lit up, and they opened their hands to grab the bread in Christine's hand.
