Seeing the dust and sand in the distance, the guard came to his senses.

They opened the fence and let Cross into Copperhill.

"Do you know any information about the enemy?" asked the guard.

"They are the army of Seatta. ”

When the two guards heard this, their faces instantly turned blue.

"I'm going to report to the captain. One of the guards dropped the words and left.

It didn't take long for the captain to arrive with several guards.

Cross could tell at a glance that the captain was different from the other soldiers, whose helmets were crooked and looked like they had just woken up.

But the captain's armor was neatly dressed, and he was burly and energetic, and more importantly, he carried a giant sword behind him, and the rest of the soldiers only had a long sword at his waist.

"Who reported the enemy?"

"It's him. The guard pointed to Cross, who was still sitting on the ground.

The captain was stunned when he saw Cross, and apparently, he recognized Cross.

"Are you Lord Cross Crane?"

"Yes. Cross replied through gritted teeth.

"You're hurt?"

"It's fine, just a minor injury. ”

The captain bowed, then helped Cross to the ground and sat down, "Your Excellency, I'm Reiner of Sunset City, in charge of the defense of Copper Mountain Town, do you know the number of enemies?" ”

"More than a hundred Antara goblins. ”

Cross thought that Reiner would be a little comfortable when he heard this, but what he didn't expect was that Reiner actually laughed out loud, "Hahahahaha, I can finally kill today!"

"Captain...... Are Antara Goblins weak?" asked the soldier beside Reiner.

"Not weak. ”

The soldier stopped talking.

"What, you're afraid of death?"

"Captain...... We're not like you, we've never been on the battlefield......"

"Copper Mountain is our home, if it's gone, then where are we going?"

"We can go back to Sun City. ”

A flash of gloom flashed across Reiner's face, and he stepped over the fence and walked forward without looking back, "I'm a warrior, and I'd rather die on the battlefield than survive in a place like this." If you want to go, go away, there are ships in the port, and if you want to fight with me, don't hesitate. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, several soldiers ran in the opposite direction, and they chose to flee, and there were only two who were willing to stay and fight, and besides, these two obviously did not have the momentum of Reiner, and they were obviously recruits.

Looking at Reiner's distant back and the approaching enemy troops, Cross couldn't help but feel emotional.

As for the situation in Copper Mountain Town, Cross had his own guesses before.

Due to its proximity to Sunset City, Copperhill Town will always be under Sunset City's jurisdiction until the lord arrives.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, the town of Copper Mountain is too small.

Second, Sunset City is quite close to Copper Mountain Town. Many lords who own cities will also have small towns near their cities. Blackwater and Creek have independent lords because they don't have cities nearby, and of course, there is another important reason why both towns have the potential to become cities.

As a vassal of Sunset City, Tongshan Town is just a resource collection station for Sunset City. The Lord of Sunset City only needs to send a small number of soldiers to inspect this place, and these soldiers do not need to go to the battlefield at all, not to mention, a remote corner like Copper Mountain Town will not be attacked at all.

Therefore, Cross concluded that the soldiers here would definitely choose to flee when they knew that the enemy was coming. Of course, there may be individuals who will resist the enemy, but such individuals just want to get meritorious service and promotion, however, they will eventually die on the battlefield because of their lack of strength.

It was based on this that Cross came up with his current plan. He only had to wait until all the soldiers in Sunset City had fled and died, and then he could start flexing his muscles in front of the inhabitants of Copperhill......

However, such a plan was disrupted by the appearance of Reiner.

Cross would change his plans, not because Reiner was capable of killing so many Antara Goblins, but because he didn't want Reiner to die.

It's a shame that a fighter like Reiner died.

Seeing that the goblin army was about to collide with Reiner, and Cross couldn't continue to pretend, he stood up, pulled the arrow from his leg, and shouted, "The goblin army of the Kingdom of Seatta has attacked Coppermountain!

At Cross's shout, residents of more than a dozen families on both sides of the road ran out of their homes in a panic, and then walked towards Cross, some of them didn't even have shoes on, these people were obviously taking a nap.

Others hid behind adults, poking their eyes out curiously. For these children, the invasion of the army may be as frightening as hearing a ghost story at night, frightening but unreal.

"You're Silver-Eyed Cross?Silver-Eyed Cross, who was rumored to be able to save Crane Territory?" one of the residents recognized Cross.

Cross nodded, "Now is not the time to talk about this, the enemy is coming, we have to prepare for defense." ”

"What about the defenders sent by Sunset City? The defense of Copperhill should be left to them. ”

Most of them had fled, and only Reiner had the two remaining soldiers fending off the enemy outside of Copper Mountain. Cross replied.

"These damn brutes usually only know how to oppress us and urge us to hand in the ore, but at this time they are all running faster than anyone else!" a middle-aged man scolded viciously.

"That's it, those Sunset City brutes!"

Some people scolded, others slipped away quietly, and the one who slipped away happened to be without shoes.

"Everyone, be quiet!" yelled Cross, not wanting to let the pointless conversation continue, "do you want to continue living here?" ”

"This is our home and we certainly want to be here. ”

"yes, this is our home. ”

"Do you have the courage to defend your homeland?"

The crowd was silent.

At this time, the shouts of killing had reached the ears of the residents of Tongshan Town. In order not to scare the child, the adult covered the child's ears with both hands.

These people are just ordinary civilians in Tongshan Town, civilians who have been arranged by the local ruler to go to mining, let alone let them organize an effective defense, I'm afraid, they just heard the cry of the enemy, and their legs were already trembling.

"I ...... We...... It's just civilians ......" finally someone said this.

"Where would you go without Copperhill?"

"It's better than dead! Don't listen to him, we can escape from the Blackwater River. ”

"Yes, as long as you live, there is hope!"

Escaping, and then, living, is indeed the most primitive desire of human beings.

However, Cross did not panic in the slightest, all this was expected by him.
