Othua's War Banner

Chapter 31 0031: The Winter Ballad over the North
Yates Silver was weary.

The evening when she came to Santon Kaya made her feel a strange emotion, the familiar dilapidated scene, the people who rebuild their homes came and went, reminded her of the village she lived in, and she also covered up the slaughter in the fire of war again and again scars.

Wars and tribal conflicts have taken their last breath.

No one had the courage to stay where she was and wait. The horror of a knife falling on her neck at any time made her often wake up at night during the recent migration.

She shook her head and looked at her husband.

An honest farmer with thick limbs, ordinary, and never held an ax or spear, is now his greatest sustenance.

He had a sister-in-law named Tennyson Silver who lived in Sandton Kaya.

Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she saw someone walking towards her. Her heart ached and she wanted to get up and run away, but her limbs became weak due to hunger, and she almost couldn't stand still. It was her husband who supported her.

But they are thus left behind.

The refugees rushed up, and Yates realized that there were no marauders and robbers, and they didn't need to flee.

"Don't worry, the food is plentiful."

The free-handed ones got off the wolf and stopped the refugees. They surrounded the iron pot with their arms to prevent the hot broth from being knocked over and spoiled.

Yates smelled meat.

She swallowed her saliva, but still stopped her husband. There were too many people, and it was easy to get hurt when squeezed in. She didn't want to see her only relative bleed again.

ooh-

Everyone, including Yates, froze in place, and then the refugees stepped back, clearing a space to breathe.

An arm with the mark of Thornton Kaya was lowered steadily.

"Unfortunate move, sorry."

He has a strong and well-proportioned figure, a face that does not match his age, and a natural tone of voice, which makes people not feel oppressed, and does not have the idea of ​​interrupting.

"I... know what you've been through, and I won't say stupid things like empathy, but it's over, and you can share the food and protection of Santon Kaya.

Think about what it's like to be cornered.

So stop fighting and let no innocent person get hurt. "

The speech was short and powerful, and the crowd calmed down.

There was still fanaticism in the eyes of the refugees, but they all slowly lined up, filled pottery bowls with fish soup and steamed meat, and spread out to gobble it up.

Yates' husband protected his wife and was at the end of the line.

Those who have already finished eating are lined up behind them, ready to receive the second portion.

The soldiers did not stop, not only that, but they also put away all their weapons as ordered.

The refugees experienced food and clothing.

Under food and order, no one can afford to resist making trouble.

Because everyone is afraid of causing dissatisfaction with each other, afraid of being expelled, afraid of the dangerous wasteland and the death that follows.

A giant wolf came out of the woodland.

It was more powerful than all the mounts present, and it crouched quietly behind the young man with a look of disdain.

Only then did the refugees dare to look at him. He was strong and calm, wearing a liner and a vest, with half of the sword button exposed on his winter jacket. Judging from the demeanor and eyes of the people around him—he was Zhanjing.

It was Yates' turn.

She couldn't hold the bowl, so her husband could only help her get the food.

The young man frowned, looked at the couple with a slightly puzzled look, and then walked towards this side without thinking.

Yates felt his pulse quicken and his mind grow heavier.

"Headache?"

The man asked, the voice could not hear emotion, but there was strength.

Yates huddled in her husband's arms, and they shielded each other while the young man waited for his answer.

All the eyes in the field gathered here, and everyone waited for the further development of the situation to observe the words and deeds of this mysterious battle flag.

Yates nodded, his head sank, and he felt a little nauseous.

But it didn't take long this time, the pain of the uncomfortable swelling eased, the thinking became clear, and the feeling of hunger came from the abdomen again.

She opened her eyes and saw a hand move away from her eyes.

This battle banner can actually use magic, and he doesn't dispense bitter medicine like a shaman, and he doesn't need to chant any strange spells.

"Are you going to stay in Sandton Kaya?"

The young man put his hands up, and there was no expectation or disgust in his tone, he was just asking in a very flat and respectful manner.

"Generous... Zhan Jing, Mother Winter blesses you, I hope you can take us in."

The husband stood up and blamed himself for not discovering his wife's abnormality, and at the same time expressed the truest thoughts in his mind.

The eyes of the people around are eager, and no one wants this to be the last meal.

"Welcome to Thornton Kaya," the young man smiled faintly, before revealing the tattoo on his right arm. "Remember the names of your banners.

Ken Bouvier.

The territory that Winter Mother cannot protect, I will defend with sword and blood, offer your hard work and loyalty, and I will return stability and prosperity. "

[Refugee X15 joins your team. 】

In the future, everyone who came to receive food repeatedly would pay tribute to Ken, and they would often take a second look, hoping to find comfort and strength.

Ken lived up to expectations.

He stood and waited for another round, and every time he encountered a wounded or sick refugee, he would generously use his divine power.

【Increased Resident Loyalty】

The Yates couple didn't leave right away. They waited until Ken was free and rushed to express their thanks again when he was about to leave.

They bowed their heads and beat their hearts, and squatted down on one knee, preparing to perform the etiquette that would be used for sacrifices to Dongmu.

Ken stopped Yates with the back of his hand, and said without any other physical contact: "Don't exercise vigorously."

"Is there any other disease?" Her husband immediately panicked, "Great battle flag, please help us."

"You think she's sick?"

Ken frowned and asked back, with a relaxed smile on his lips, his voice was calm and gentle.

Yates and her husband looked at each other and shook their heads, expressing their incomprehension.

Ken waved his hand and said:
"Go to the village to find a girl named Joan, and ask her to instruct the kitchen to prepare some suitable food for you every day. Those thick porridge and barbecue are too greasy."

He pretended to turn around, smiled secretly for a moment, then turned and said:
"Congratulations, the hope of life is about to be born, and your wife is pregnant."

Yates was taken aback for a moment.

Then she opened her mouth wide and wanted to scream, but she subconsciously covered it with her hands, feeling her heart being hit, and she was in a daze.

Her husband was even more impatient.

The man wanted to hug, but he didn't dare to use force. He approached, backed away, and immediately pressed against her, with tears in his eyes.

Ken stood by and shared a moment of happiness.

He turned and walked away without saying a word, which was a good omen for Thornton Kaya.

In the evening, the moon is round.

A new welcome banquet began in the village.

The scholars sang two hymns, but the effect was mediocre, and several ladies from Norin joined forces to perform a court dance, which finally brought the situation back.

Fishermen set foot on the frozen sea with great enthusiasm.

He will bring the good news to the companions who stayed behind Bingyan, and all the sentries who took a rest on duty have returned, and the joy is high amidst the cheers.

Some people coaxed to see other talents.

Mrs. Tennyson pushed Joan out.

She shyly retreated to her original position, but she couldn't bear to pour cold water on her, so she cleared her throat and began to sing.

Ken's ears cleared.

He had heard this song in the cave, the day Hamsin died.

As the surrounding crowd spontaneously became quiet, the song became clearer, and the fire flickered along with it, floating in the air with the humming.

The tail section goes into repetition.

Someone around took the initiative to harmonize and started, and more and more people hummed, gathering into a sound wave.
