Magic Eye Warlock
Chapter 269: Refugee group
Xiaguang City.
The tall east city gate was locked tightly. Outside the gate, a group of refugees with yellow skin and thin clothes gathered around the gate. There were thousands of people. They looked eagerly at the soldiers patrolling on the tall city wall, hoping to open the gate and let them into the city. go with.
The vast territory of the empire, apart from the ten major cities, now there is no place where ordinary people can settle down.
Orcs will come at any time, the defenses of small towns are too weak, and the garrison is unreliable. These refugees all fled from the city of Chuyang and nearby towns. They ran all the way in the wild, separated from relatives and friends many times, and met again. I've been to the terrifying and cruel World of Warcraft.
Some of them ate grass roots, some bark, and some mud. They survived stubbornly, but they also ran out of oil lamps and were about to die.
There are no professionals among these people, because the professionals either died or were captured in the battle with the orcs, or they fled to the main city first.
No matter where it is, the main city will not refuse to join professionals.
Kent is a twenty-year-old blacksmith. He is a commoner in Haiyun Township under the jurisdiction of Chuyang City. He has learned ironing from his father since he was a child, but it didn’t take long for ordinary days. A few months ago, when the orcs invaded, Haiyun Town was occupied. In order to give him a chance to escape, his parents died tragically under the orc's axe.
Later, Kent fled to Chuyang City, and a forge took in him, who worked hard.
However, Chuyang City was not spared a few days ago. It was also captured by the orcs and became the first main city occupied by the Maca Empire.
He took the daughter of the blacksmith shop owner and fled all the way, passing many small towns and gathering places of free people, but did not stop until he came to Xiaguang City.
Kent, who has experienced two orc invasions, knew in his heart that the defense capabilities of the main city and the town are completely different. Haiyun Town was invaded by the orcs without any resistance, but Chuyang City persisted for a long time, even if it was a city. When it broke, the orcs had no time to capture all the humans in the city, and a large number of civilians took the opportunity to escape.
Therefore, only when he reaches the main city can he relax.
Kent sat cross-legged on the mud, looking at the girl who was asleep next to him, and said in his heart: "If I were a professional, my parents would not die because of me, and neither would Teres Starving."
Several soldiers on patrol are chatting on the wall.
"Captain, so many refugees, shall we not let them in?" A young soldier looked at the refugees gathered outside the city wall and said with a bit of irritation.
"Huh! Do you think I don't want it?" The captain of the middle-aged soldier glanced at him and said, "If the city had not been attacked by orcs and suffered heavy casualties, the city lord would not have ordered the city to be closed."
"But, this has nothing to do with these refugees," the young soldier defended.
"It's hard to say! What if there are spies of orcs in it? Why can orcs attack our main city at night? I suspect that there is an insider. If something goes wrong, I can't bear this responsibility!" The middle-aged captain snapped, " Put away your ridiculous compassion, this is a war, a war in which you die or I die. There are hundreds of millions of civilians in the city. We cannot ignore these refugees because of their safety."
"Is the gap between us and the orcs that big? Why did they break through one town after another, we can only passively be beaten here." The young soldier said indignantly, "I don't know what the empire's senior officials think, we need to fight back. To drive out these **** invaders, the blood debt must be paid in blood!"
"The individual strength of the orcs is much stronger than that of our humans. Professionals of the same level can fight three or five at a time. In the past, they could only shrink in the northeast corner of the Western Continent because they were not united. There were thousands of tribes. Do not interfere with each other, and sometimes fight each other for land and food."
The middle-aged captain's eyes were erratic, and he looked into the distance and said: "But they are now unified and formed an alliance. We are naturally not opponents. We were caught off guard for a while.
Your kid has never fought with orcs. I thought that when I was a recruit, I was stationed in Dawn Town and was harassed by the orcs tribe on a small scale. I was a comrade enlisted in the army in the same year and was torn into pieces by the orcs. Just beside him, he was frightened, and the orc gnawed his thigh on the spot.
Fortunately, an experienced veteran killed the opponent with a bow and arrow. The brutality and horror of the orcs are not understandable by ordinary people.
However, the number of our humans is dozens of times more than them. Under the leadership of the wise princess, I believe we can definitely defeat this group of barbaric orcs! "
"I heard that Her Royal Highness launched a coup d'etat and killed her eldest brother. His Royal Highness personally claimed that the prince wanted to rebel and was killed by the guardian of the imperial city." The young soldier whispered. "Furthermore, this time the orc invasion, it seems that there are factors in the struggle for the throne."
"Shut up! If you live enough, don't bother me!" The captain slapped the young soldier on the back of the head and said, "Can you and I discuss this kind of thing?"
"Haha~www.ltnovel.com~ I'm going to die anyway, whether it's in the hands of the orcs or my own." The young soldier said dissatisfiedly, "I will be the first to rush to kill the orcs and kill them. Damn!"
"If you can be, if you talk too much, right? Punish you kid to stand more at night!"
The sun sets, the sunset is picturesque, and the weather cools down.
Under the city wall, Kent's eyes were dim from hunger. He took out a piece of black rye bread from his arms, hesitated again and again, and stuffed the hard rock-like bread back into his arms.
He was not sure how long he had to stay outside the city, so the only food left was a meal that could be saved. Besides, he looked at the girl next to him, she was already thin and small, and was tossing. After a few days, like a dead grass, it may wither at any time.
"Teres, Teres--" Kent whispered the other person's name. Seeing that she didn't respond, he gently pushed the other person, but still didn't wake up.
He tremblingly put his finger on the tip of Teres' nose. After feeling the faint breath, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the brown bread in his arms and prepared to feed it to the other party.
Teris must be starving.
However, at this moment, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and Kent was also attracted by the sudden movement, supported the city wall and stood up and looked into the distance.
What did he see?
On the horizon, there was a black patch, and countless orcs rushed from a distance like locusts crossing the border.
