Son of the Olden Days

In Thor's short life memory, the old warning bell in the town rang only twice.

I didn't remember clearly the first time. At that time, I was young and didn't know the meaning of the bell. Later, I learned that the enemy who had come was a group of robbers who wandered in the wilderness all year round.

It is said that the composition of that group of bandits is very complicated, including heretics and evil mercenaries, criminals and gangsters, and even dark dwarves and halflings.

They were not the aboriginals of this territory, but they seemed to have wandered from farther away. They were crippled by the lord's army at the new town, and they had no choice but to flee to the gray screen town.

When passing by the town of Grayscreen, they were ready to looting. They fought a fierce battle with the militia group of the town of Grayscreen and the armed forces in the town outside the north gate of the town.

It is said that many people were killed in that battle, but in the end the group of robbers were beaten away, forcing them to retreat into the sleeping forest to the east and disappear.

The second bell sounded, Sol was eight years old, and was fortunate to witness the grandeur of fighting the enemy.

Rough mercenaries and brawny men stood on the ancient retaining wall in Gray Screen town, throwing torches, falling rocks and spears all the things that can be used to defeat the enemy, and those with confidence jumped off the retaining wall and the enemy. Engage in a burial battle.

In fact, the battle was not too fierce, and most people could hardly help other than rushing around.

At that time, Sol was engulfed by the lively crowd, and was fortunate to seize the opportunity to glance at the war-torn battlefield behind the retaining wall through the crack of the wall.

The enemy seemed to be a group of kobolds, or a group of humanoid beasts running around with long hairs and dog heads.

Since the bright calendar entered the dark calendar, this backward race came to the ground from the long-lived underground and began a new wandering journey.

In the various rumors of the human world, these villains have never had a good reputation.

They have no longevity, lack of civilization and low productivity, and have nothing but chaotic tribal forms.

They never let go of rusty pots, rags, leaky clay pots, anything that is related to survival, and looting along the way is their favorite.

That was the first time Saul saw a foreign race with his own eyes, and it convinced him that this world is not only humans thriving.

At this moment, from the chaos outside the monastery, the enemy attack seemed to come from the west of the town. I don't know what kind of enemy came this time.

Sol, who has always lived in the small town, has never set foot in the wilderness outside the town. The only knowledge to the west is that there is a pit of Yal at the foot of the Grams Group, which is the main source of income for Gray Screen Town.

The monastery is located in a slum to the southeast of the town, and it should be safe for the time being in terms of location. However, in a short time the chaos in the town has spread to this side, and the street outside the main entrance of the monastery has also begun to noisy.

The people in the auditorium can no longer care about the order. The chief priest, a few deacons, and Melissa and others formed a circle on the reading stage, not knowing what they are discussing, and the people below are also gathered together in groups. Whispering flusteredly.

Lorton, who was about to leave, saw Thor and Shuggs standing together, so he stepped forward.

"Do you want to be together?"

This invitation was obviously well-intentioned. No matter what enemy came, Lorton would definitely not fight alone, perhaps following his blacksmith father in a group of mercenaries.

If Saul and Shuggs are willing to join them, security will also improve.

After exchanging sights with Shuggs, Thor said:

"Get your own weapons first, so that there is room for self-protection or help."

Hearing Saul's words, Waller, who followed Luoton, asked nervously.

"Are you going to join the battle in the town?"

It's okay to fight and fight, but now he wants to take the initiative to intervene in the battle that will bleed and kill his life. Valler's eyes are already retreating.

In theory, everyone has an obligation to contribute, after all, once the town is breached, no one can live.

However, in this chaotic guard battle, the addition of a few children will not have much impact on the battle. And when it comes to life and death, it would be foolish to use courage to challenge enemies far beyond one's abilities.

According to Thor, the overall situation of the town is not optimistic. Although it seems that there are many combatable troops, some of them are just idle mercenaries and hunters. These guys who fight in their own way often have no order and honor at all.

The guards of the guilds and small towns as well as the guards of the families are the backbone of the fight against the enemy. Unfortunately, the ancient and practical wisdom of unity has long been abandoned in the wilderness.

Saul knew very well that once the battle conditions were unfavorable, the armed forces would decisively break the gap and escape, leaving the weak to the enemy and death.

It is not uncommon for many villages and towns to disappear on the map overnight.

So Sol’s plan was simple and straightforward. He first waited to see the strength of the enemy before deciding whether to join the war.

After turning his eyes around, Thor first stated his position by answering.

"I don't think I am a dedicated person. If I have the opportunity, I am willing to contribute a weak force. But if the enemy is unstoppable, I will find the opportunity to climb over the backyard wall and enter the eastern wilderness before the situation collapses."

When he was speaking, Thor kept looking at Luoton. He felt that according to Luoton's character, he might be responsible for certain things, and maybe even stubbornly fighting to the end.

Feeling the meaning in Saul's gaze, Luoton, who had always been stern, made a rare joke.

"I still have relatives in the town, but don't worry, I am sure I will not fight to the death. I don't want to be packed in a shabby shroud without even passing the bar mitzvah. Someone will come to my tombstone next year and talk about it. "

Sol nodded and finally suggested:

"Then after we got our weapons, we met near the North District Tavern. There is not far from the western guard wall. At this moment, the western defense line should be the front line of the entire town. We have enough time to make specific decisions on the way. ."

Lorton nodded in agreement, Shuggs said nothing, anyway, he would advance and retreat with Thor no matter whether he wanted to fight or flee. Although Valle was a little reluctant, he instinctively felt that it would be safer to be with everyone, and in the end he could only agree.

Just when everyone was about to disperse their actions.

"Ah~!"

A sudden scream came from the hallway on the side of the auditorium.

The entire auditorium was silent for an instant, and everyone's horrified eyes gathered.

On both sides of the sacred auditorium, there is a turning aisle that can accommodate four people in parallel. Along the way, there are some partial halls and several ear rooms.

As far as the layout is concerned, the aisle on the right also leads to the living area of ​​the backyard. Not long ago, many people came to the auditorium to pray through it one after another.

At this moment, through the lights on the walls of the aisle, an orphan at the end of the aisle can be seen sitting on the ground with horror on his face.

Maybe he thought he was smart and wanted to find a safe place to hide in the chaos first, but he was frightened when he suddenly encountered something at the corner of the end of the aisle.

The orphan was so scared that he had forgotten to stand up. He would just sit on the ground and kick his legs quickly. The whole person retreated in horror, as if trying to stay away from something desperately, until his back pressed against the wall of the aisle.

Looking at the struggle of the orphan from a distance, it was clear that it was too late for rescue. Everyone had a hunch in their hearts that something was going to come out from behind the corner at the end of the aisle.

enemy? What will it be? Why do enemies appear in the monastery? Could it be that the town has been breached! ?

Many doubts and the unknown dangers that are coming make Sol, Lorton and others unconsciously show a heavy touch, and most of them have already opened their eyes and stared at the end of the aisle and condensed their breath.
