On the border of Sicily Province - Fortress of Ramiel, Wuyou frowned and looked at the desolate scene outside the city.
One day ago, a tide of beasts attacked Ramiel. Two thousand city defense troops fought bloody battles to eliminate these horrific creatures. Even though the commander's tactics were outstanding, the infantry responsible for the frontal resistance still paid a heavy price.
At this time, outside Ramiel City, a river of blood had seeped into the originally dry sand. The wild wind blew through, and there was a nauseating smell. From a distance, the dark red blood of humans and the tide of beasts left a strange green color.
The juices are twisted and tangled together.
The broken limbs of the warriors and the corpses of the monsters were lying side by side. Several teams of soldiers were laboriously separating the corpses of both sides, and then carried the human corpses onto trolleys for burial to prevent wild beasts from being cannibalized.
The corpses will be burned, which not only preserves the dignity of the fallen soldiers, but also prevents the spread of the plague.
Even from a distance, Wuyou could still see the strong sadness in the eyes of these corpse movers.
Passing through the battlefield filled with blood and internal organs, there were some seriously injured soldiers leaning against the city wall. As they were wailing in pain due to their wounds, a few lightly injured soldiers with bandages were feeding these dying people with some water.
The city wall has been stained black by gunpowder smoke and blood, and rubble is constantly falling from the cracked wall. On the wall farther to the west, several craftsmen are repairing the wall, trying to add some defense before the next wave of attacks.
A group of soldiers wearing leather armor solemnly guarded the city gate, watching the sparse citizens and adventurers coming in and out. When Wuyou passed by, they nodded in a friendly manner.
Entering the city, this formerly prosperous city has become a fortress due to the war. There are only defenders and some stubborn citizens who do not want to leave their homes. Some tired soldiers are lying on the wide gravel road leading to the city hall.
, the situation of these people is better, some citizens are running around to provide necessities to the soldiers.
Dozens of medical officers were cleaning gauze at the original brilliant fountain pool in the square. The originally clear pool had long been mixed with countless silt and blood and turned turbid. The whole city was filled with the smell of blood and fire. Maybe Lamir would destroy the city.
People died, but Ramil never surrendered.
It seemed that Wuyou's attire indicated her identity as a mercenary. As soon as she entered Ramiel, a child with a muddy face ran over and timidly guided Wuyou to the mercenary camp. On the way, the child kept explaining
, these two days of fighting.
There are a huge number of monsters living in the northern monster forest. In normal times, as long as humans do not enter the forest, the beasts will not come out and attack humans.
But when winter comes, the food of the monsters will be in short supply. High-level monsters have certain intelligence. In order to prevent the monsters from killing each other, they usually organize these monsters to use their claws against humans. Those middle- and low-level monsters
Those who are afraid of the pressure of high-level monsters will obey the command and come to attack.
This season is always the busiest time for mercenaries and Ramiel Fortress. In fact, fighting against the beast tide is a very dangerous task. Although the monsters that form the beast tide are mainly middle and low-level, regardless of the attack power of a single target,
No matter how powerful they are, the most terrifying thing about Warcraft is their numbers.
It is unimaginable to imagine thousands of monsters standing in a dark mass under the gate. Although they are not arranged neatly, the darkness that cannot be seen at a glance brings much pressure to the hearts of the people participating in the battle. Such pressure makes
The city defense troops and mercenaries are always in a state of tension, and countless human casualties occur in the city defense battles every year.
Even so, humans have long mastered the laws of these beasts' actions and firmly control the initiative on the battlefield.
However, the situation this year has changed dramatically. The beasts that originally only attacked in the cold winter began to attack Ramiel in late autumn. The defenders were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Even with the command and control of the human "tactician master" Insania,
The outstanding performance of some mercenaries was able to block this attack.
A large number of bonfires and white tents can be seen in the distance on the north side of the city. The strange liquid in the crucible on the bonfire emits a strange smell.
When they arrived at the mercenary camp, Wuyou no longer needed the guidance of the child. After thinking about it, Wuyou took out a gold coin and prepared to give it to the child, but the child refused.
"You are a powerful warrior, right? You will kill all those beasts!" The child raised his head, and the stain on his face could not resist the pleading and stubborn look in his eyes.
Like everyone here, it's clear that this kid lost someone in this attack, maybe a friend, maybe a parent.
"I promise, I will turn all the monsters I see into ashes!" Wuyou solemnly nodded to the child.
After hearing the worry-free guarantee, I left with satisfaction.
Looking at the child's desolate back, Wuyou let out a long breath. She couldn't say any words of comfort to the little boy just now. Maybe he didn't need any comfort. All he needed was revenge for them.
With indignation at the little boy's miserable childhood, Wuyou headed towards the mercenary camp.
Different from the strict discipline of the city defense army, the mercenaries are simply a bunch of ragtag people if they don't have strong fighting power and various skills. You can hear noisy quarrels from a distance, which is eye-catching.
It was early in the morning, so most of the mercenaries were still resting in their tents, while some cautious mercenaries got up early to make preparations or exchange information.
There are only a thousand mercenaries in the camp, and they are all the closest mercenaries who rushed to Fenghuo after receiving Ramil's call for help.
The mercenaries came from all directions, and some even arrived late at night from last night's mission, so the battle had not yet begun, so everyone chose to recharge their batteries. Only with full energy can we face the waves of monsters.
impact.
In this endless battle, everyone has different ideas. Dreams, battles, blood, revenge, loyalty, interests, and rewards are all deeply buried in everyone's heart.
A mercenary is always on the edge of danger, but the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. The battle to defend the city is the best opportunity for them to express themselves and make a name for themselves.
If they just continue to do those tasks, they may become A-level mercenaries in more than ten years. However, the young mercenaries are ambitious because they know that as long as they survive the battle to defend the city, they will be the empire's
Great hero.
Regardless of your previous identity or status, you will be rewarded by the empire. Even if you die in battle, the entire country will remember their sacrifice. They can maintain the honor of the warriors and die well. Perhaps they will not know why they are fighting until death comes.
There were a total of ten marshals in the history of the Beiyue Empire, but eight of them all stood out from Lamere Fortress, and four of the eight marshals were just small mercenaries.
Regardless of whether they can achieve the same position as those marshals, the mercenaries' desire for military success is unshakable. Therefore, the quota in each city defense battle has become the object of competition among the mercenaries.
Although this is an A-level mission, when it was released, it only required level three professionals and above and did not impose too many requirements on mercenary levels. Therefore, there are still many qualified mercenaries who can participate, and the thousand and five people gathered here now
The hundred mercenaries were selected through layers of screening by the mercenary union.
After all, such a mission is really dangerous, and the Beiyue Empire does not want its citizens to disregard life and death for merit, fame and fortune.
As for Wuyou being able to take on this task so smoothly, of course it has something to do with her arrogant background. After all, on the surface, he is just a third-level wind and fire magician. In this team of 1,500 people
She can be said to be the only third-level professional among them.
She found an unoccupied tent, and as soon as she entered the tent, she felt sleepy immediately. Wuyou lay down on the ground in a daze, and fell asleep within a few moments. She was short of time, so she had been there for several days.
I didn’t get a good rest. Even if I rested, I had to keep an eye on my surroundings, so my rest was not stable.
At this time, she was in a completely safe environment, so she fell asleep whenever she had the chance.
Wuyou slept until the morning of the next day. After getting up, she hurriedly packed her clothes, washed herself and put on a relatively ordinary magic robe among the many sluts' equipment. In fact, this magic robe
She is still very coquettish, but for the safety of her life, Wuyou has to show off for once.
Feeling that she was almost done, she touched her shriveled belly and felt hungry. Shaking her head helplessly, she opened the tent and went out to look for food.
At this time, the mercenary gathering place was already very lively. The mercenaries had all woken up. Everyone was chatting around the fire in twos and threes. They walked around from time to time looking for partners of similar strength to form a team to deal with the beast guard.
Task.
After all, a person's power is very limited. If someone can fight alongside you during the battle, it will avoid many dangers of being unprepared.
Wuyou appeared in front of everyone wearing a slightly luxurious outfit, standing out from the crowd.
Many mercenaries cast curious glances at her. Magicians are not uncommon in this camp, but with such a cool magic robe, even a Dou Qi practitioner can see how extraordinary this piece of equipment is.
I am very curious about the origin of Wuyou.
Because Wuyou was currently wearing an intermediate magic badge of both wind and fire elements, Wuyou could be said to be the weakest among so many level 4 and above professionals.
However, coupled with the factor of age and Wuyou's temperament, no one dared to look down upon the young man in front of them.
After all, they thought that they did not have such high strength when they were Wuyou's age, and the background of being able to receive this mission through layers of screening must be extraordinary.
Wuyou was also quite embarrassed by the looks everyone was giving her. After all, she was still a girl, and most of the people present were male mercenaries in their thirties or forties. Even with her strong psychological quality, she could not help but blush.
Slightly hot.
Just when Wuyou was at a loss, a familiar male voice came.
"Hey, brother Wuyou! Is that you? Why are you here?" A strong man with muscles as big as a hill came over cautiously and asked in a slightly comical manner. Although he had deliberately lowered his voice, the people around him
The mercenaries still noticed him.
"Brother Longtian?!" Wuyou shouted in surprise, "You...you're here too, oh, and Tiannan is here too. Where are the others?" Wuyou looked around and found that there was no one else around.
acquaintance.
Because of the unhappy breakup last time, Wuyou Longtian still felt a little sorry for Wuyou. Since they broke up, they calmed down and knew that Wuyou was not to blame for that incident. If it weren't for her, all of them might have died.
.
Long Tian touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Everyone else has returned to the academy after completing their mercenary missions! By the way, where did you go after you left us? I heard that there is a mercenary named Wuyou in Hongye City.
Defeated the dark magician, rescued the young city lord, completed the task issued by the city lord, and became a great hero in the eyes of the people in the city. Then
Is it you? But isn’t that a B-level mission? When Nantian and I rushed there to find you, the city lord said that you had already left. He said that you might have come to the fortress to participate in the city defense mission. We happened to be there too
I accepted the task of guarding the city, so I rushed here non-stop to try my luck. I wonder if that person is you."
Listening to Long Tian's caring words, Wuyou felt extra warm in his heart, but when he remembered that he had killed Mia before, he felt a little heavy, and he didn't know how to answer Long Tian's question.
While Wuyou was silent, Long Tian patted her shoulder carelessly and said, "Brother Wuyou, you must still be unhappy about that incident, right? Don't be sad, we all figured it out. We were too impulsive at the time.
, you did nothing wrong in this matter, but you saved everyone in the end. Although Mia died, she was happy to die in your arms! Don't take that matter to your heart, hurry up
Tell me, brother, what did you do after you left?"
Long Tian was originally a person who was not good at words, but now he said so many words to make her relax, and Wuyou could see the obvious change of topic at once.
Looking at the concerned eyes of Long Tian and Tian Nan, Wuyou didn't want to worry them like this, so he pulled them back to his tent. After all, there were so many people talking here that it was not the place to talk.
Long Tian and Tian Nan also understood what Wuyou meant and followed her back to the tent.
In the tent, the three of them sat on the ground. Wuyou slowly told everything that had happened to him recently, not even concealing his professional level.
Because in her eyes, these two people are her life and death friends. If even friends are not trustworthy, then living will be too painful.
