There was a whispered discussion in the corner.

"The warriors of Az City have arrived."

"But they still dare not move."

"We can put them in now-"

"No!" Someone stopped him sharply, "Didn't you see last night? Their defense is like an iron bucket! There are people on duty at all intersections, and the lights will be on until dawn!"

"What about now? When they are halfway out of the city, we close the door, they attack the humans outside, and we destroy the people in the city?"

"Idiot! Don't talk, you can't do this! We can't court death. If we didn't kill those humans, they would unite with other people to kill us! We just have to wait! We can't do without the benefits of you and me!"

A huge shadow cast from the window, everyone was silent.But the visitor is just passing by.

A tall and strong woman walked quickly on the road, and people greeted her from time to time. She smiled and nodded to them, and then continued to search among the vehicles and the crowd.When Mrs. Rabbi found Boss, he was checking the list with a brown-skinned and white-haired captain. Baro pushed the list to Boss and smiled at her: "I finally expected you to come."

"I'd hate to starve a good lad like you," said the strong-voiced werewolf woman, thrusting the basket at him with one hand, "though I've starved you."

Boss signed his name on the list before he looked up. Without her calling, he wrapped a few hash browns in the cloth of the basket himself. It's not that he has to be a cute little girl. In some jobs, oily fingers will definitely mess up the documents. Now it is not convenient for them to knock on the door of a family to get water.He ate them all in one gulp, then drank a small pitcher of rum.The rabbi is very satisfied.

Boss raised his head and said to her, "Your task of staying here will be heavy."

"No heavier than my body," she said.

"No, if there's anyone I'd never want to be sacrificed," said Burth earnestly, "it's you."

The rabbi aunt laughed heartily. "Your words are really sweeter than honey, but I won't be afraid to take responsibility because of this. Men are born to love to charge bravely. Now you have made girls become mighty, but if you have to be patient and We old women are better at calming down." She looked at him with those warm eyes and said, "Let's go, we can take care of ourselves."

She returned to the crowd, and some women went up and surrounded her, and some men tried to squeeze in to talk to her, but they were quickly driven away by the women.They were always very united when they were with her, an ability Leah aspired to because she couldn't, and not just because she was a girl.To say that after staying in this place for so long, Mrs. Rabbi must count among the powerful people Perth has seen.

Perth took one last look at her and moved on to the next place.

Together with other team leaders, he inspected each assembly point, checked the general situation of livestock, vehicles and personnel, and counted the quantity of supplies.As the highest person in charge of the aid team, his behavior of leaving a gathering point was a signal. After he left, the girls and boys climbed into the car, raised their whips, the horseshoes landed on the ground, and the wheels rattled on the road. They meandered through the city like a brook, heading for the city gate.

The gates of the city were all opened today, wide enough for eight horses to pass in parallel. The hard road paved with bricks and stones ended here, and the trucks ahead made clear ruts on the dirt road.The sun has just passed over the mountains, the dew on the grass is not yet dry, the shadows of people, chariots and horses fall on the ground long, almost reaching the distant fields, the autumn morning wind is as cool as well water, and the breeze blows over the young People's hair tip and ear tip, many of them look back here, looking back at the place where they built and lived for a long time.

They may be thinking "goodbye" in their hearts, or they may be thinking "see you again", but what others see is only one thing——

They are leaving.

Someone's eyes confirmed this, and then a shadow rose from the valley and scattered into the woodland.

Perth stood in the final assembly point and watched everyone get into the car.Luza was almost the first group to leave. Together with his friends, Boss nodded when Captain Barrow waved to him. He took a few steps forward, turned around, and looked at this place. On the opposite side of the wide drying yard, there are still a lot of corn stalks left after harvesting in the field. The wind blows their wide leaves and makes a rustling sound.

Barrow also jumped out of the car, walked up to him, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone?"

Boss didn't nod or shake his head. He raised his hand to remove the gun from his back, held it flat, and pressed it against his shoulder.

A gunshot shot across the field, and the light blue gunpowder smoke melted into the wind. Boss put away his gun. Everyone in the car was watching him, and there was an orc running towards him from far behind.

"Hit it?" Barrow asked.

"I don't see where they are," said Burth, "but that's enough."

A werewolf stood up from the ground, brushed off the sawdust on his shoulders, and looked up at the big hole in the tree beside him.

The carriage swayed, and Perth heard the creaking and closing of the gate behind him. He didn't turn his head, and no one around him turned his head. Barrow said to him: "Look at these lands, there are so many crops confiscated, I don't know How much will be wasted by those beasts."

"That's none of our business," said Burth.But he still looked at the fields on both sides with his eyes. The fields were empty and flat like a mat. The forest road they planted in the field had not yet formed, and the small trees that were only as tall as a person drew a vague dividing line.

What was it like here when they came?He almost forgot that they have done too many things here, people can leave, and steel can be dismantled, but their time is still engraved on the land, and everything they have given here has been twisted into a thread by the thoughts of parting. The unbroken thin thread is in their hearts.

"Ma'am will be heartbroken," continued Barrow.

"That's not the only thing she's going to hurt," said Burth.

Barrow laughed, "You have no heart, she keeps saying you're a nice boy, a good man, sweet soft dough balls or something."

Boss was expressionless, and the others in the car laughed softly.

"It might be difficult for her, although Leah and Tuta have stayed, but it will definitely be difficult." Barrow whispered again, "As soon as we leave, those idiots will gain power, although I don't think they will be happy How long ago, the jackals have already set their sights on this place, and when they attack and take the city, the jackals will turn into foxes, leopards, and bears with their heads held high, following the meat eaters to pick up bones, But it's the turn of those idiots."

"It's been a long time since they've been beaten," Burth said.

"Fool or jackal?" Barrow asked.

Boss looked up, "It's all the same."

The rapid sound of hooves came from far and near, and they saw the smoke and dust stirred up on the road. Baro stretched out his hand to the side, tensed his shoulders, and Boss stared at the person coming.

A few fast horses passed by them, and the orc on the horse turned his head at that moment, and had a face-to-face with Boss and the others.Perth recognized two of the faces, and the other knew him—at least by the color of his coat.

"Who?" Someone in the car asked.

"Son of Navan," said the Baron.

"What did he want to do when he came back?" a werewolf asked.

"Probably because no one has asked their opinion," Boss said flatly, "and they need to come back and express themselves."

The few orcs entered before the city gate was completely closed. Just as Patriarch Nawen returned to his home exhaustedly, the gate was knocked open with a bang, causing the drink in his hand to flow down his arm in shock.He ignored his blue clothes, looked up at the dusty visitor, and stood up in surprise.

"Sheila!" He stepped forward, "Why did you come back?"

"Unless I'm dead, I can pretend I don't know anything!" The young werewolf strode in, untied the leather bag, and tossed the cloak on his shoulders aside, while two werewolves stood guard at the door, "Father! How can you do this? Do?! How dare you expel our greatest reliance?"

Patriarch Nawen closed his eyes, "You are still very young, Shera."

"'Age does not give you wisdom, it only makes you cautious', do you understand what you are doing?" Sheila came to him excitedly, "I know there are people who are hopeless, but father, why do you Like them, why should even our tribe join in?"

"Can we still be separated from them?" Navan said, "We live in the same land, we are one."

Xie La waved his hand violently, "Because you—you gave up power!" He asked, "Why did you give up power, after they have already chosen you, and even handed it directly to you? You used to be the most willing to accept changes Yeah, why did you change in this short period of three years, after we've fully accepted those people? You've become like this, don't you know it's betrayal? We've got enough from humans Why are you still not satisfied with the benefits!"

Nawen sighed, "It's not us who are dissatisfied, but them."

Sheila looked at him in disbelief.

Patriarch Nawen walked to the door, looked around for a while, and then returned to the house, sat down on a chair, "They haven't gone far, I will change some horses for you, you can catch up."

"Father!"

"At the latest at sunset, the people from Az City will come." Nawen looked at him and said.

Not only Xie La took a deep breath, but even the expressions of the two young men at the door changed.

"Father..." Sheila calmed down instead, "I won't leave."

Navan shook his head, and as soon as he said a word, Shera interrupted him: "This is my tribe, this is my home, and I cannot tolerate others occupying it, especially my enemies!"

"So you shouldn't stay here." Someone said.

Everyone in the room was startled and looked at the window together, with both hands clinging to the window frame, then two pointed ears popped out from the window lattice, then a head and shoulders, Sheila walked over and stared his sister.Liya didn't care about his face, the rabbi put away the triangular ladder at the bottom, and then walked up the escalator at the back with a thump, and Sheila felt the whole room shaking.

When she came into the room, the men became dumb.

"Why don't you talk?" asked the rabbi.

Nawen turned his head away, the two young men were a little uncomfortable, Leah's eyes swept over them one by one, and finally fell on Xie La, Xie La didn't look at her, he looked at the rabbi aunt forcefully, " Let's go away with Lia first, okay?"

"Oh, I've been working as a worker for two years, does it really look like that?" the rabbi said, but her tone was soft, and her look was also soft, "But I was already working You can hear it from the corner of the wall."

"We can't bring you into this," Sheila said. "Fighting is not a woman's business."

"It's true that a good woman shouldn't fight, but that's when a man can be trusted." The rabbi said, "Navan has become a pumpkin now, full of belly, but if you don't stand him up and push him, He can't move. He doesn't want to talk to you because you are not very reliable, and he doesn't have the face to tell you the things he did wrong step by step. He just wants you to move quickly and catch up. Those who were driven out, the real powerful people, so that they can borrow their strength."

Sheila was taken aback, he suddenly turned his head to look at Patriarch Nawen, who sighed deeply.

"You're too young," he said. "A man like Perth is a good player. Go find him and he'll tell you what to do."

"I'm going to ask him, but not now! I still don't understand!" Sheila said. "Why did you drive Perth away, and why do you want me to get him back? What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Father wanted an orc-only city ruled by sorcerers," Leah said. "He screwed up."

Sheila gave her a cold look.

"When you were trained on the railway site and joined the work, great changes have taken place here." Leah said calmly, "The team sent by the magician has done a lot of things. They have achieved almost everything that was said at the beginning. Promise, however, they also dismembered our tribe. They divided the fields and buildings into pieces and assigned them to different people. The jobs were also divided into pieces. In the end, when the compensation was calculated, it was the same piece by piece. portion of..."

Sheila couldn't bear it anymore: "Isn't this what it should be?"

"Of course, this is what it should be. So our tribe quickly learned to count. They trust whoever distributes benefits to them. They can go anywhere just to get more benefits." Leah Said, Sheila took a step towards her, and she looked at him fearlessly.

"They built bridges and opened roads with humans, and built the tribes that the iron cars passed through like cities. After selling their labor in their hometown, Kanlar, they had to open the door and let others help them build their homes. Sell ​​the output of the land in exchange for tools and other things they need. We can see how rapidly the Leopard tribe developed in the six months after the railway was opened, and I heard that in Yancheng by the sea, every ten days There are big ships going out to sea, exporting a ship full of goods, and then bringing back a ship full of people, and in their homeland, a fortress against humans has been built right under our noses. What else do you need to know?"

Sierra's cheeks were stretched out in the shape of muscles. Before the dispute broke out, the rabbi aunt stepped between the two of them. The two young people just took two steps back involuntarily after being brushed by her.

"You don't always know how to speak well." She said in a deep voice, "This is not the time for children to fight. Don't treat your brother as a fool, and don't treat your sister as a bad person. You both came from the same mother's womb on the same day. Come out!" She gave Nawen a dissatisfied look, "Now the city is in a mess, Boss and the others have left, and they have also taken away the rules, maybe it would be a good thing for those guys from Az City to come, but I'm like some people, I don't want them to come to my house. This city also has my share of hard work. I want to let those who want to sell it and those who want to buy it with their fists know how powerful it is , Our time is running out, at least one of you must go back!"

She looked at Sheila and snapped, "Go back to your team, to your engineer battalion! Go and tell all the tribesmen there that our benefactor has been expelled and our homeland has been sold out, and we're going to kill these bastards." Get rid of it!"

Sheila asked involuntarily, "What are you going to do?"

"If you stay, you will see," said the rabbi. "Now, decide now!"

Another rider rushed out of the city gate, looking in the direction of chasing the convoy, which made the eyes that had been paying attention here tense.But they waited a long time, until the sun was past noon, until the sun was setting, until their scouts returned safely and told them that there was no sign of turning back in the caravan led by the white werewolves.

Unsurprisingly, they carried so many things, not a particularly large number, and they had a falling out with the people in this city, but the blow this morning was really scary.Among the several centurions they led, the most courageous and the most hated was the werewolf, but he also shut up after that, and no longer spoke face-to-face with those spells.The warm twilight shrouded the wilderness, and a group of people came up behind the two-high battlement, and this group looked very anxious.

Anxiety is right.

Whistles sounded all over the fields, one after another, one after another, many lights were lit on the battlements, and the guards on the battlements protruded half of their bodies from behind the wooden wall, and a feather arrow pierced the air and nailed it to the wall. in the seam.They immediately shrank back in fright.

One after another, shadows appeared in the fields, their wide and calloused feet crossed the ditches, stepped on the unharvested work, gathered along the field ridges, and rushed towards the city of Kanlar like waves. A few scattered arrows shot randomly, no one could be seen on the city wall, the setting sun was sinking, and the wild and violent shouts resounded through the sky. During the day, the city looked brand new and stable, but now it looks like an isolated island in the river , was slapped by waves.

Scolding and cursing spread from the city gate to the end of the city, and some arrows were thrown into the city from outside the wall. Many houses were lit up with panic lights, and many houses were completely dark and silent. The tribal leaders and elders barely maintained In the habit of discussing in the meeting room, they quarreled extremely fiercely, and then they fought. The chair was thrown to the wall and smashed into pieces, and the table was knocked down. Someone grabbed one of his feet, and he kicked off his boot, and Liya closed the window with great strength, and the elder of the leopard tribe who was about to catch up fell backward with blood spurting from his nose.

They ran across the square, turned a few turns, and crossed the open space between two houses into the street.Some people have already gathered here, the rabbi and a werewolf are distributing crossbows, Leah walked towards the werewolf, the rabbi pointed the direction to Nawen, "Where is your wife, go with her Go pack the sand."

Only the thigh-thick bumper hit the wood less than five times, and the city gate opened a gap. The swaying wind lamp illuminated the back of the orc retreating inward, and the attacking orc pushed open the gate with all their strength, and the inner view of Kanlar City was displayed in front of them. , like a sweet fruit stripped of its coat, the avenue is straight and flat, extending in all directions, and the buildings are like wooden boxes, scattered high and low, and the ecstatic invaders panted and stood at the square-like intersection, looking around, with cooked food sweet The smelly night wind blew on their faces, and their companions kept pressing on them. Suddenly, someone shouted, and they suddenly came back to their senses. They were led by the centurions, and headed to the nearest building, to both sides of the avenue, and to the wealth in memory. The most concentrated city center rushes.In this seemingly countless turbulence, someone beside the two centurions trotted after them, and said hurriedly: "Yes, there, their family is trouble... There is a Sacher werewolf It's still here, better kill all the werewolves... Here is where they store their farming tools, we have locked the door, otherwise they will be used as weapons... By the way, there is still oil and sugar... ...That's right, the person who guards the key is a stinky woman, she deserves to be damned... oh no!"

The werewolf centurion holding the leather map suddenly stopped and raised his head. The orc beside him screamed, "What's going on?"

The road ahead was brightly lit, and the originally unobstructed avenue was blocked by wooden boards, sandbags and other messy things. Some people poked their heads out of the wooden boards, and some weapons with flashing metal lights were aimed at them.

A thick, strong female voice said, "Go or die."

"That's her!" said the orc, pointing at her. "This is the woman—"

These were the last words he left in this world. A feather arrow pierced deeply into his eye socket, and he still stretched out that hand, and fell backwards.
