This year's orcs seem to be particularly peaceful. Except for the unreasonable presence of a legion stationed in the winter, there are no strange behaviors.

Maybe this year I can have a peaceful warm winter festival, and then I can take the girl of the orc subspecies that I met outside the fortress to eat some Middenling specialty gingerbread and oil tea.

Yes, Biden has a sweetheart outside the fortress, whom he has known for about ten years.

Biden was really shocked when he saw the girl with fox ears for the first time. It was his first time patrolling after joining the army.

The fox-eared girl started screaming when she saw Biden, and Biden was no better. He wanted to draw his sword to defend himself, but the sword was too long and got stuck in the middle, and he couldn't pull it out.

However, Biden was surprised by the fox-eared girl's appearance, which was no different from that of a human. She seemed to be different from the orcs she imagined.

What surprised Biden even more was that the captain just glanced at the girl who was picking mushrooms in a bamboo basket, threw her a bag of dry food, and took Biden away.

From then on, Biden learned about the existence of the orc subspecies, a race that was almost harmless and hungry all the year round.

"It's so beautiful. They are clearly more human."

This is Biden's only impression of these subspecies.

But Biden's idea only made the captain wave his hands in disgust, and told him that the generals of the legion and the lords of the empire would not care about these small things.

The big head soldier doesn't have to think about these meaningless things.

In the year after that, Biden became the scout captain due to his outstanding performance, and he could carry out personal patrols on his own.

Unfortunately, he went too deep into the orc territory and was targeted by a powerful orc archer.

In the process of chasing and escaping, Biden fell off the cliff.

The bards of the Empire would always tell stories about poor boys who fell off the cliff and won the favor of legendary powerful men.

But unfortunately, this is the real world.

Biden never counted on this.

But when he woke up from his coma, he saw a familiar figure.

What a cliché, yet ecstatic plot.

It's the girl with fox ears.

This is the tribe of the orc subspecies, at the foot of the Noo Mountain, a military buffer zone.

Biden even saw his captain and many of his comrades sneaking out and coming to this small orc subspecies tribe.

The captain was sitting with a petite cat-eared girl, hesitating like a fool, and quickly blushed.

There were even a few warlords mingling among them in a low-key manner, serving cup after cup of ginger tea, and occasionally glancing at the passing orc girl.

They all gave Biden a strange look, as if to say, "Shut up, kid."

Biden understood everything instantly, and then wisely chose to remain silent.

So naturally, he fell in love with the girl who saved him.

He soon discovered that these orc girls were too poor, and many of them would starve and freeze to death every winter.

They know a little bit of simple magic, but they can only light firewood and create a majestic atmosphere.

Biden felt a little distressed and wanted to lend a helping hand.

But as a defender of the Nao'ao Mountain Fortress, and as one of the highest-quality legionnaires in the empire, Biden knew that he could not act in a way that would benefit the enemy.

In any case, the orc subspecies and orcs have been described by the Empire as incommunicable enemies comparable to demons for a long time.

No soldier can guarantee that the supplies he gives to these beast-eared girls will not fall into the hands of the orcs.

But a few years later, a turning point came.

The emperor seemed to be less and less interested in the defenders of Mount Naao.

Some equipment that should be maintained and replaced regularly has been used for a long time because it has not been replenished for a long time. Food is being delivered less and less and later and later.

The military salary was embezzled by the master.

Everyone knows about the garrison at Noao Mountain, but no one dares to mention it.

If it hadn't been for the donation from Lady Nunalia of Midden Territory, a large number of the defenders at Noon Mountain would have starved to death that winter.

In the following years, the empire almost cut off all military pay for the defenders of Mount Aomo.

The entire fortress is counting on Lady Nunalia of the Midden Territory for survival.

The soldiers all remembered Lady Nunalia's kindness, so several regiment commanders used the free trade clauses in the imperial law to open a civilian channel.

Then a boy named Richard appeared.

When Biden saw him for the first time, he was in a state of embarrassment, accompanied by a tall orc guard.

This kid is ambitious and wants to open a trade route to the orcs.

Biden, who had already become a centurion, naturally would not reject this wise boy. After accepting some money, he escorted Richard and his goods to the buffer zone outside the fortress.

It happens to be the tribe of the orc subspecies.

Under the pleading eyes of a large group of soldiers, Richard accepted the barter of the beast-eared girls - some mushrooms.

All the soldiers in the Aoshan Fortress knew that these mushrooms had a bad taste and were slightly toxic.

If it weren't for filling their stomach, no one would choose to put them in multigrain porridge.

But Richard accepted, and he generously left a large amount of precious barley, salt, cloth and other goods with the tribe.

Of course some of the defenders who were almost married to these beast-eared girls knew that this was Richard's sincerity.

Since then, Richard's caravan has been able to move freely through the Nao'ao Mountain Fortress, and has even been exempted from the high tariffs required by the empire.

Some gentlemen seemed to have inquired about this matter, but then left it alone after being prevaricated by several legion commanders.

As a result, the orc subspecies tribe outside the Noon Mountain Fortress gradually improved. Although life was still poor, at least the number of people starving to death was greatly reduced.

Moreover, with the replacement of the boss of the orc tribe in the fortress, an orc named Hansen did not seem to have any desire to plunder. Instead, he chose to shelter the Orc Ear subspecies and started a tacit business with the defenders of the Noon Mountain Fortress. .

Although orcs occasionally invaded after that, at least they were not from Hansen's tribe.

The precious peace lasted for three years.

Then, because there were no new recruits to join the army, the garrison of the fortress had to continue to garrison the fortress at the age of retirement out of responsibility and orders.

In order to appease this group of dissatisfied veterans, the legion commanders could only acquiesce in allowing more soldiers to look for their favorite orc girls outside the fortress.

After all, life is so hard!

The terrain of Nao'ao Mountain is high, and the cold wind howls all year round.

Daily drills and night patrols are a heavy burden on the soldiers' shoulders.

And because in the later period, military pay was almost completely dependent on the Midden Territory, the defenders of the Minao Mountain became increasingly confused. They began to wonder whether they were the army of the empire or the army of the Midden Territory.

These young people, carefully selected from the capital of Silver Moon and the four hinterland provinces, have received the emperor's education since childhood, and are somewhat hostile to the grand dukes who do not listen to the propaganda.

But now the situation of the fortress is deteriorating. Without the support of the Midden Territory, this group of glorious soldiers who defend the country and guard the border should have been separated long ago.

Therefore, the soldiers needed something to distract themselves from the growing disappointment and helplessness towards the royal family.

As a result, these beast-eared girls became the only remaining gentle village for the defenders.

Even in order to prevent some of the defenders from bullying, the defenders spontaneously formed a mutual aid and supervision committee to regulate the few good things and comforts in this hard life.

Thinking on the bright side, at least other imperial legions cannot find wives during their service, and after the Midden leader learned about the situation between himself and the orc subspecies, he even increased his military salary expenses.

This group of defenders who originally worshiped the emperor could only choose to start praising Lady Nunalia, and a few even began to convert to Lathander of the Church of the Dawn.

So the days went by like this, until today.

Biden blew the ginger tea and drank it in one gulp. He felt that his body was completely warmed up.

After putting on the soft armor that had been with him for ten years, Biden was frozen for a moment by the iron pieces on it. He put out the fire and stood up.

He walked outside the guard tower, stood on the city wall, and finally looked at the vast orc territory and the subspecies tribes in the buffer zone in the distance.

Biden is leaving.

A month ago, the Naoshan Fortress suddenly received an order from the emperor who had not seen it for ten years, asking them to withdraw from the Midden Territory and station themselves in the Nord Territory, which is three days away.

The commander of the regiment who was foolishly loyal to the emperor chose to obey the order after being silent for a day.

So the defenders of the Imperial Third Corps of the Nao'ao Mountain Fortress chose to follow the emperor after finally visiting the orc girls who were unable to enter the pass.

The defenders were divided into multiple groups and withdrew from the Naoao Mountain Fortress one after another. Biden was the last group.

The fortress was about to be empty, unheard of but happening.

But as the previous captain said, there are some things that the big-headed soldiers don't need to know.

Biden finally walked on the city wall with nostalgia, feeling a little choked up in the land where he had lived for ten years.

then,

Biden suddenly felt something penetrated his chest, and the huge impact pushed him directly against the city wall.

Biden was a little confused, and his body seemed to suddenly become very sluggish.

He looked down at his chest, and an arrow shot through the breastplate and penetrated deeply into the left chest.

Vibrations, vibrations came from afar, and the roar seemed to be getting closer.

Biden looked blankly outside the fortress, his pupils suddenly contracted slightly.

Brown-green tides surged in from the sky.

The next second, the magic bell for early warning sounded remotely.

Regardless of the pain, Biden ran on the city wall, and his heart-rending roars echoed throughout the Nao'ao Mountain Fortress.

"The enemy is attacking, the orc Khan is knocking on the border. The highest danger level, super big waaaah! Super big waaaah!"

----

Biden cut off the shaft of the bow and arrow with his long sword, sounding the alarm like a madman.

The last group of defenders who had not yet had time to evacuate immediately returned to their posts, choosing to be loyal to their duties as imperial guards.

There has never been a deserter in the Third Army of the Empire.

Biden shouted: "Activate the mystery lock!"

A soldier shouted: "Biden, you are the only centurion in the fortress currently, you can only activate it."
