Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 39 Yuanshan Town Has Fallen
quack~quack~
The light and shadow moved westward, and as it was getting darker, several black crows flapped their wings and flew into the distance with hoarse voices.

"More than 100 humans?" Anderina's expression changed.

Although this place belongs to the sphere of influence of Cold Winter City, it has been since the jackals launched a full-scale invasion.

Except for Winter City, all the surrounding villages and towns have been cleaned by jackals, and there are no merchants who dare to walk, so what kind of force will it be?
Is it a human player?Or a wandering bandit?
"Don't make any noise yet!"

Thorn turned and whispered to Anderina who was thinking.

Seeing the slightly serious expression on Thorn's handsome face, Andelina was slightly taken aback, then sat quietly on the stone bench, raised her eyelids slightly, and looked at the dim yellow sky.

Clang!
Suddenly, Thorn pulled out the dagger at his waist, turned quickly, turned into a black shadow, and rushed towards the shadow of the jungle not far away.

call!
The breeze blew by, and the withered and yellow leaves in the woods fluttered slightly restlessly.

Thorn's left hand was clenched into a fist, and with the momentum of the impact, he swung violently towards the shadow.

bump!
The fist hit the flesh, making a dull sound, followed by a slight muffled grunt, and a strange figure appeared in front of Thorne.

Thorn sneered, turned slightly to avoid the counterattack of the opponent's sharp blade, and moved behind him like a ghost, and the cold blade in his right hand had already taken advantage of the machine to rest on the opponent's neck.

Ah!
Accompanied by a cry of pain, bloodstains appeared on the other party's neck, and traces of blood slowly seeped down.

Swish!
There was another slight footstep behind Thorne.

One more person?

Feeling the murderous aura behind him, Thorn dragged his subdued opponent and turned around abruptly.

Ah!
Seeing that the sharp blade in his hand was about to stab his companion, the black figure who was sneaking up behind him exclaimed, and forcibly stopped the attack, and the weapon in his hand fell directly from his hand.

"If you want to keep him alive, just be obedient and don't move around!" Thorn gave the black figure in front of him a look, and the dagger on the opponent's neck deepened again, and the dark red blood dripped continuously along the tip of the sword.

"Stop it, don't be impulsive! We have no malicious intentions!"

Seeing the wound on his companion's neck, Hei Ying's expression changed, and he immediately threw the weapon in the other hand to the ground, raised his hands and said urgently.

Thorne was unmoved, and the dagger didn't mean to relax at all, and then said: "What kind of organization are you, and what is the purpose of coming here?"

"They are from Yuanshan Town, stop now!" Thorne's words had just finished, and Anderina, who had already reacted not far away, said aloud after seeing the familiar face of the black shadow.

From Yuanshan Town?

Thorne looked at the other party carefully, and found that the black figure in front of him had a thick modern wolf leather armor style, a furry animal skin hood behind the collar, and a badge with mountain peaks and sword patterns carved on his chest.

It really is a player from Yuanshan Town!
So Thorn put away his dagger, pushed the man in front of him to his companion, and turned around to glance at Andelina who was rushing here.

Wiping the blood on his hands on his clothes, he leaned against a big tree beside him with a cold face, waiting quietly for their explanation.

The black shadow gave Thorne a vigilant look, and immediately supported his companion, took out a bandage and ointment from his pocket, and performed emergency hemostasis treatment.

"Evan, why did you two appear here?" Andrina walked to Thorne, stopped and said to Evan who was bandaging his companion to stop the bleeding.

"Boss Anderina?" Evan was obviously taken aback when he saw the person in front of him. He was also very surprised by Anderina's arrival, and then said:
"The two of us followed His Excellency Gust to Cold Winter City. Seeing that it was getting dark, we rushed to explore the way ahead of time and planned to spend the night here."

Gust?Anderina raised her eyebrows slightly, and after thinking about it, she said, "Then let them come over."

"Thank you very much!" Evan thanked Andrina, then glanced at Thorne, and immediately picked up the weapon on the ground and walked out of the jungle with his companions.

"The two of them are rogues from Yuanshan Town, and Gerst is the second in command of Yuanshan Town, a level 5 druid, whom I have seen in Winter City."

Seeing the figures of the two people disappear, Anderina turned around and explained to Thorne.

"Gest? I've seen that fake girl." Thorn said lightly with his eyelids twitching, and walked towards Taran Village after speaking.

Transsexuals?

When Andelina heard Thorne addressing Gust, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then followed.

……

"God! We are so destined, look who this is, beautiful Miss Anderina, please give me a chance to kiss your toes."

A pure-blood elf druid player walked to the gate of Talan Village. His eyes lit up when he saw Anderina, and he walked over gracefully, bowed down and made a gentleman's salute.

Anderina looked at the waist-length silver hair in front of her, a slender man who looked like a woman, her brows were slightly frowned, and she didn't know how to answer the question.

"It turned out to be Gust, my little baby, come and give me a hug!"

At this time, the troll Trundle who had just arrived behind Andelina exclaimed, stepped out and stretched out his arms, hugging Gust's delicate body passionately, like an old father hugging a child.

Gerst couldn't react in time, and was directly hugged by Trundle. Feeling the strong smell emanating from the troll, his delicate face felt a chill, but he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.

Then the light flashed all over his body, and he used the druid's ability to transform into a little crow. After moving away from Trundle, he turned into a human again.

When the players behind Gerst saw this farce, their originally heavy and sad faces also showed some faint smiles.

After tidying up his messy long silver hair, Gerst maintained an elegant and calm smile and said to the players behind him:

"Dear partners, go in and have a good rest, we will arrive in Winter City tomorrow."

Nearly a hundred players behind Gerst relaxed after hearing this, and then walked towards Talan Village.

"Winter City is almost in ruins, what are you doing there?"

Anderina looked at the players in Yuanshan Town who were carrying all kinds of luggage, obviously planning to live in Winter City for a long time, so she asked with some doubts.

Gerst shook his head, blinked his green eyes, smiled mysteriously and said loudly on purpose: "We welcome the new life in the ruins, we call it breaking and then standing!"

"...Then I wish you all good luck!" Anderina said lightly, then turned and walked into the village.

Gerst stood by, nodding slightly to the players who greeted him from time to time, watching them slowly walking towards the village, the sad look in the corner of his eyes flashed away.

"Lord Jarod, is he alright?" Suddenly a voice sounded behind Gerst, his handsome face was startled, and he turned around slowly.

"So it's Brother Thorne!" Gerst said with a smile, relieved to see the familiar face behind him.

"Has the wolf man's attack spread to Yuanshan Town?" Thorne asked in a deep voice.

Thorne is quite familiar with the beautiful man in front of him. When he went to Yuanshan Town to ask for help, it was the team led by Gerst, but it was a pity that he made the trip for nothing.

He and Jarod are the founders of Yuanshan Town.

On the surface, Yuanshan Town seems to be headed by the lord Garrod, but in fact most of the decisions are made by Gerst.

A player who can establish his own power outside the sphere of influence of Winter City is a ruthless character.

After all, there is no protection outside the sphere of influence of Winter City, and all kinds of intelligent races in the wilderness are staring at them at any time.

"Oh, this is a sad story." Gust no longer maintained an elegant smile, and sighed softly, like a weak woman who couldn't help being cared for.

"Speak human!" Thorne frowned, a little unable to stand the other party's speaking style.

"After the gnoll tribe that besieged Cold Winter City was defeated, they could no longer maintain their dominance in the Great Swordscar Mountain Range, and were jointly expelled by various races, mainly the hill giants. Went to Yuanshan Town."

Gerst changed his previous frivolous and impetuous character, and said solemnly:
"If it wasn't for the invasion of the ogre tribe on the day of harvest, which caused the strength of Yuanshan Town to be greatly damaged, these jackals and bastards would not have succeeded at all."

"So Yuanshan Town has fallen..." Thorne said slowly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Twilight Town is only half a day away from you at most. Didn't they support you?"

"I have supported. Under their protection, more than 400 people survived in Yuanshan Town. Except for these 100 people who voluntarily followed me to Winter City, the rest were taken to Twilight Town by Jarod."

Gerst looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun, his voice was a little hard.

"This is indeed a sad story. You can cry if you want to. It's uncomfortable to hold on all the time." Thorne patted Gerst's shoulder lightly and disappeared into the shadows.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually dimmed, the colors of everything gradually faded, and all the scenes became hazy.

Thorn looked at the back of Gerst in the distance, and recalled the tragic scene when the bloody corpses in Talan Village were placed in front of him.

And Gust, who went to Taran Village with him at that time, comforted him with the words just now.

What is the difference between Gust at this time and him before?
